Chapter 23: Adventuring?
“So, where to now?” (Mica)
“When can we defeat monsters!?” (Geo)
“Haha, follow me, I’ll show you a place.” (Max)
Even though I thought them all magic, they haven’t really used it too much so it should be time to let them loose.
I directed them to a place.
This is a nest of [Crazed Ants], a low level monster but difficult to deal with in numbers.
Here, it should be fine if they were to wreck havoc.
Seeing the gigantic ants, Jenny, Mica, and Livia shivered but the others were pretty excited.
“Here! Fire everything you want!” (Max)
I haven’t even finished talking when Livia had started to chant for an ultra high rank magic.
“[M-meteor Shower]!!!” (Livia)
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Suddenly, huge chunks of rocks rained down from the sky, completely annihilating the sea of giant ants.
I watched this with a deadpan expression.
…Livia, I know you’re creeped out, but at least let the others play too.
“Ahh! Livia! I want to attack too!” (Geo)
“R-right! I also want to destroy those creeps!” (Mica)
“Mou, how can I make friends with them now!?” (Zoe)
...Probably, only these group of ours would have such a relaxed attitude after seeing such a thing.
If other people were here, no doubt, they would be unable to know which way to retort in their minds as they would be dumbfounded and utterly gobsmacked.
“Well, then, let’s move on.” (Max)
I just shrugged and moved to a different place.
“This is a flock of [Wind Shattering Birds]. They’re pretty loud monsters so they would often be the subject for monster subjugations. Try your aiming skills and shoot them in the sky!” (Max)
A bunch of loud noises rang from above our heads.

Truly annoying. However, I won’t kill them. The girls should use this chance to gain experience.
“...Noisy. [Hail Storm].” (Ina)
Suddenly, small ice spears showered from above. I hurriedly used an air shield and redirected the hails that went towards us so the girls don’t get hurt.
After a while, the clouds cleared up but the monsters were already gone.
“Ah! Sister Ina! I didn’t get to attack again!” (Geo)
“So noisy! I want to kill them myself!” (Mica)
“Ahh! The birdies are gone!” (Zoe)
…
Well…
…
...Let’s move on.
“Max! I want to battle a dragon!” (Geo)
Geo said so I found an evil dragon. We can’t just go and kill dragons since some of them are good. So we can only find evil ones to kill.
This black dragon has been terrorizing a village.
You know, the usual, if-you-don’t-send-a-virgin-once-a-year-I’ll-destroy-your-village kind of thing.
“Great adventurers! Please rid us of this evil!”
“Rest assured! I shall slay the dragon!” (Geo)
And so, we ventured to the dragon’s lair and challenged it.
“Oiii! Dragon! Come out so my wife can kill you!” (Max)
Too lazy to go inside, I called out for the dragon.
As expected, the guy’s pissed and roared out.
“ROOOAAAR!!! WHO DARES DISTURB MY REST!!!???”
“Tis I! Geo of Maxheart! Foul creature! Prepare to die!” (Geo)
Heh, she actually said it.
Of course, I was the one who told her to say that. She found it cool and went along with it.
“Brat! Don’t be so full of yourself!”
“Hah-!” (Geo)
Geo swung her sword and clashed with the dragon whose face suddenly paled.
“Y-you! Why is Excalibur in your hands!?”
“Hubby gave it to me! It looks cool right!?” (Geo)
“Geo! So cool!” (Max)

Naturally, as her hubby, I cheered her on.
“Ehehe~” (Geo)
“Quickly kill the lizard! I hear that its meat is delicious when cooked!” (Max)
“Ah, then I’ll prepare for dinner then!” (Livia)
Livia waved her hand and a kitchen appeared in front of her.
She donned an apron and began to busy herself with preparations.
“Oh, then I’ll set the table.” (Mica)
Mica then waved her hand similarly and a dining table formed along with chairs.
She busied herself with placing the plates and utensils.
“Dragon meat~” (Zoe)
“Hmm, I remember the first dragon meal I had before. Truly delicious.” (Rosalline)
“Yeah, Geo, hurry up and finish!” (Jenny)
Zoe, Rosalline, Jenny, and Ina began to sit on the chairs and waited for the food.
“Ou! Leave it to me!” (Geo)
“Y-y-y-you bastards!!! You want to eat me huh!? Let’s see who will be the one eating who- Guboh-!!!???”
“Ei!” (Geo)
“W-wait! I-I conce- Gah-!?”
“Dorya!” (Geo)
“S-sto- Geh-!?”
“Orya!” (Geo)
“I-I...”
“Hei!” (Geo)
Oh, it’s dead.
Well then, let’s have dinner~
The dragon meat was quickly cut by me and we all ate happily in the dining table under the stars.
“So, how’s this world?” (Max)
“It’s beautiful!” (Mica)
Mica’s eyes glittered as she watched the stars and the magic floating in the sky.
“Right? Compared to Earth, this world has more natural beauty.” (Jenny)
“Un, it’s beautiful.” (Livia)
I no longer said anything. I just waved my hand and brought out a large bed as we all slept under the stars.
There was no sexy time but we all slept happily as we snuggled on each other.
As for the dangers? With me here, who would dare to trouble us?
The next day, we went back to the city and found it full of players.
“Hehe, it sure is pretty busy now.” (Rosalline)
“Right. What’s the plan for today? I was thinking me and Rose would visit some friends.” (Jenny)
“That’s fine. I’ll take the others to sightsee as well.” (Max)
I nodded to Jenny and Rosalline as they went off to find their friends.
“Come on. This time, we’ll all tour while flying!” (Max)
“Un!”
The girls happily nodded and followed me as we fly.
I can see the players pointing fingers and whispering at us but I didn’t mind it.
Let’s go see the city of angels!

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.
8 101Kill 10 Rats
You awake in the middle of an unfamiliar woods with nothing but a knife and a pair of pants. You have no idea where you are, how you got there, or even what your name is. Noob Slayer is an average college student, part time computer repair guy, and a full time gamer. He awakes to find himself in a world he does not understand. Follow him as he explores this new world, looks for answers, and tries to remember his name. Authors Note: This is a side-project I started after being widely stumped trying to write another book. It is my first attempt to actually post something I've written online, but don't be afraid to be brutal. Improving myself is why I wanted to write this in the first place. I know the VRMMO genera is a bit over-done but hopefully it has a few good stories left to tell. Warning: This is written in the first person. Will contain brutal fight-scenes, bad pop-culture references, a ton of MMO-tropes, and possibly some light sex if the MC doesn't screw it up too badly. Member of A group of excellent litRPG fictions on RRL!

A silly stitch of fate, Snooze begins to grow more powerful as she combines elements, creates a world, and has to combat the flighty whims of her rosy-glowing archangel named Meat. This is a work of comedy (or an attempt at it, in any case.) Illustration for the cover is by the wonderful and talented dathie / @dathieart (on Instagram) ----- This is LitRPG-Lite. There are gaming elements, and abilities that can be leveled up, but the system isn't sophisticated.
