《T.B.O.K.K.J.》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Dream of revolting memory of a past that cannot be forgotten, a world filled with nothing but rotten flesh and putrid. I would pay any price to erase experience in that world from my memory. One of the very first penalty worlds I was forced to visit. No man could describe the absolute grotesque appearance of all inhabitants of that world. Ugly, distorted, deformed, and decayed. A true hell you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy. The unavoidable smell of rotten bodies roaming around the streets like normal beings. Whatever you touch would feel like a warm puddle of shit brewed in puke. Omnireaching loud sound as if the heavy machinery was working around you 24/7. And of course, whatever you eat or drink would taste like crap. All five senses were in anguish, simply by existing in that world. Yet, I had a quest in that world I had to strive in that world. I had to become successful, I had to marry and become a good husband, I had to get kids and become a good father. Every single moment in that world was nothing but agony, and yet I was forced to stay there for five decades. And when all my quests were completed I happily pulled the trigger.
An annoying and goofy voice pierced thru my ears and pushed me out of the shithole.

[(Hello there, sleeping beauty. Did you rest well?)]
How long has passed since I have died the last time? a couple of days? a week? In this white room, though I am not sure if you can call it a room. I am not sure if this place has walls or any boundaries. Just a white space that filled with nothing. No sense of time or direction is applicable here. Some would call it a limbo: a world between the worlds. A place for good people without devotion in one of the global religions. But, honestly not a big fan of theocratical comparisons, for me it's just a pit stop, to get some rest before another trip to the new world, possibly with different laws of physics and social norms.

I do remember the debates in the world with no abnormalities. A debate regarding solitary confinement. How badly it affects the psyche of the inmates and that it's close to impossible to rehabilitate them into society after long exposure to solitary confinement. Honestly, if I had the internet here, I wouldn't mind staying here for the rest of eternity. Snacks would be great as well.
[Searching...]
-"Ughhhhh, your voice is annoying as usual. "
[(You are as nice as usual. Glad nothing changed.)]
-" For how long was I sleeping?"
[(A year, a month, a week?! Does it even matter? Since when are you so concerned with time?)]
-"Fuc* you, you know how out of my mind was I bored. Why the fuck did you leave me there all alone?"
[(It was taking too long. So I shut myself off. But, hey you did manage to clear that world. While you were sleeping I have read the quest log.)]
-"Ughhhhh, don't remind me of that MC."
[(Ke ke ke ke, it seems you have dodged a BL route.)]
-"That's only half of the problem have you seen that yandere bitch. I am sure she had a boner. "
[(Hmmmmmm, that's weird I don't recall seeing such settings in the previous world.)]
[Searching...]
-"Can we get back to the normal world, please. I am sick of nurturing the protagonists."
[(So that you could just shut in a room filled with snacks?)]
-"Come on it happened like what? Only three or five hundred tines no big deal."
[(Do you realize how......)]

[(Scanning)]
[(It appears to be a 'normal' world without any supernatural activities.)]
-"Good Good, it will be an easy run then. Solve all the problems of the protagonist than a cruise in Mediterranian."
[(It seems that I won't be able to follow you there. This world will be a bit different. This world has an active owner. If I follow you there, you will be spotted right away.)]
-"Active owner?"

********************************************************************************************
When I came to my senses I was in front of the two-story building.
with a billboard 'Lon Taylor' with some hieroglyphs on the bottom of it.
it was very humid and hot. Even though I become conscious of myself just a few moments ago I was already drenched in sweat. This climate is fucking worse hot and humid.
(First thing first. I gotta check what I must do.)
[Quest List]
[1. Get a Job in Tamagawa Academy]
[2. Prevent Protagonist to attend school trip in June 2014]
[3. Keep working in Tamagawa Academy while Protagonist attends it]
( Not that bad, pretty easy to complete them all. Well where is MC?)

(Fuck me, I know where this is going.)
[Location failed]
[Protagonist is not born]
(Fucking great, what year is it?)
I tried to look around, but it was very late at night. This tiny crossroads section of equally small streets was dead silent.
'ここではありません' 'We ain't bite.' 'You are kinda cute.'
-'ちょっと待ってください'
Dead silence was interrupted by the conversation between as it seems three people. They did try to act sneaky, whispering to each other and trying to be as quiet as possible. They were right behind the bar named Carolina in a tiny alley between the bar and apartment building. The female noticed me right away.
-'変態、あなたは何を見つめていますか?'
-'Hey kiddo can you just leave?'
(Ahhh, right right.)
[Skill Activated]
[Universal Language]
Honestly, I did have enough time to learn all languages of the 'normal' world. But, after learning a second one, I simply gave up. I am way too lazy, even with all the time in the world I couldn't learn shit. I didn't even bother to learn my native language when I was brought into the world as a toddler. I still remember the face of an infamous nomadic conquerer when his only biological son suddenly started to speak English. The simple trick of the pointing finger was good enough for me until I managed to scrape enough points to buy "Universal Language".
-"Sorry to bother you, but what year is it?"
I have tried to address it to all three of them. But I guess since they were obviously speaking in a different language only a female answered me.
-'Showa 45. Now leave.'
-"Sorry, I don't really know your type of calendar."
-' Your? You don't know the calendar? Haha boy, stop acting like a foreigner, not in these rugs.'
[Skill Activated]
I have fired once from the shotgun. The female dropped dead.
-'What the fuck'
-'Boy, boy point that gun down.'
Both guys were acting very nervously. Well, who can blame them? I just killed a person right before them, I guess they aren't very used to this stuff.
-"I will repeat my question. What are the current year and a month?"
-'This is why you killed her?'
One of them connected two dots way too fast for someone who was shocked a moment ago. And when I was about to pull the trigger once again.
-'September 1970.'
-"1970? FUUUUUUUC* does it mean I have to wait more than 40 years? SHiIIIIIIIt"
After the gunshot, and my loud rant the entire neighborhood was awake. Random voices, footsteps were closing into this alley.
-"Oh well."
[Skill Activated]
I got my power suit from the inventory and activated invisibility mode.

The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.

Pillars Between Us
It started with the dent left by the Forest Sprite; A small crack in the ice that encased his memories. Curtis knew that something was off, realizing that he wasn’t who he thought he was and— perhaps Ellis wasn’t the one meant for him. --It's a fantasy novel set in a world where people inhabit on pillars-- (think of m*necaft sky block, you'll get what I mean) -- then give it a hint of action, mystery and (twisted) romance-- and it's influenced by Japanese fantasy light novels (cuz I read a lot of em'). But I'm sure it's a weird one cuz the style of writing isn't the Japanese to English translated kind of style but rather the orthodox English novel kind of writing (which includes a bunch of errors and broken English thanks to me!). In any case, if you're up for it, just beware the story starts out pretty slow.. I mean-- back then, I was still inexperienced ok! I'm gettin' better along the way, Hmmph!
