《Winter Sovereign》Chapter 61: Gathering Ingredients
Advertisement
Serra was alone as he headed to the market.
He was thinking of strolling around the market first to see what goods the vendors have.
There were cases were some vendors sell some excellent materials.
As for potions, he wasn't interested.
As a practicioner of medicine who reached the apex of cultivation, his skills in medicine was the highest in the entire realm.
However, he needed to restrict himself here.
Last night, he had taken a stroll here in the silence of the night.
It was peaceful and quiet.
Very few dared to cause trouble here.
Furthermore, there were guards patrolling around.
In contrast to the night, the daytime was very lively.
There were people here and there going wherever they please.
The market was bustling as well.
There were people striking up deals everywhere.
Some purchased weapons... Some wanted armor... Others various pills and medicine... While the rest desired techniques.
There were also numerous contestants in the tournament looking around for information.
It was very lively.
It struck a great contrast to the silent night.
Serra enjoyed it.
The various cultivators in the higher realms lacked this level of passion.
They were all immortals.
They've long forgotten how interesting the mundane realms are.
Brimming with passion and life...
Serra didn't hide himself this time around as he strolled around.
He found no need for it.
He also detected some trouble coming his way but he deftly avoided them.
Along the way, he saw some good ingredients and purchased them.
He haggled a bit with the vendors but he did get them at a fair price.
After a while, he was finished.
"I'm done with the market... Now, perhaps I'll see the various shops in the main street?"
The market may have some good deals but for reliable ones and high-quality ingredients, the main street was the way to go.

"Right. Let's head off."
After some time, Serra arrived at the main street.
As the place where the major businesses are located, it's filled to the brim.
"Hm... Is that...?"
He spotted one of his companions.
It was Lilia.
He headed towards her.
"Lilia! Are you done with your task?"
He asked.
Lilia turned.
"Oh, Serra. Yes, I am."
They greeted each and began to chat a bit.
"Where's Luisa?"
He asked about his other companion who Lilia accompanied.
"Ah, we separated to gather more information. I'm going to gain some information of the various top contenders."
He nodded.
"I see."
While they were discussing, some onlookers were staring at them intently.
As for why, it's because Lilia was a beauty.
As for Serra...
"Wow... They make a fine painting together..."
"Indeed... Two beautiful women together make a fine sight."
"That girl with eyes like sapphire jewels is a calm and serene beauty while the other is a stoic and mature beauty..."
They were discussing their beautiful appearances.
""...""
As cultivators, they naturally heard them.
"Let's go."
"Agreed."
They don't want to stay here any longer.
Furthermore, Serra was a man!

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe. It's unfathomable, utterly evil, and likes to be called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic, and he'd be damned if he let something as small as this set him back. When Damien started his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy. However, when he's assigned to room with a strange girl that has magic that even Henry is wary of, Damien realizes things might not be so easy. He sets out to accomplish his life goal of becoming a powerful mage, all the while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that's created a persona to act like a teenager, and a new roomate that's far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles to deal with the rammifications of the monster within him, a disturbing fact comes to life: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane, and he's the only one that can stop them. NOTE: This story is progression fantasy with some very basic litRPG elements (such as a wristband that shows a character's stats). It is not a full on litRPG - it's a progression fantasy story with litRPG elements. The story will contain some romance, but it will not be explicit nor will it take over the story. It starts off slow, but will pick up speed quickly around chapter 26. Enjoy! My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror was origonally started as a way to thank my patreons. I will be keeping the patreon updated 15 chapters in advance. Enjoy! Cover art by Skyedrun!

8 154So You Don't Want To Be Evil?
If anyone asked Eric if he hated his life or not, he would definitely state that yes, he did indeed hate his life. He was the kind of person who much preferred to stay in their room all day, daydreaming about all the fantastic lives he could be living, rather than the terrible one he's living now. Luckily for Eric, such an opportunity presents itself one night, on his eighteenth birthday. Dropped into the fantasy world of Allaria, Eric finds that he now has a second shot at living the life he dreams of. Unfortunately, not only does he have no idea what he's doing, but he soon comes to realize that this new world doesn't particularly care about him at all, and that there are many people out in this new world that aren't exactly the most fantastic bunch of folks. After being forced into working for a group of ragtag outcasts with questionable morals, Eric finds that life in this fantasy world is a whole lot more work than he originally thought.

It's a squidtastic war between the good guys lead by Meggy, and the bad guys lead by Dark Squid. If you are a fan of many Splatoon GMOD/SFM animations and SMG4 (and Mario X Meggy as well), then this story is for you. Make sure you read both parts of Ask Meggy Anything first, because what's inside those are important to the story.
