《The Compassionate Killer and his travels in a new world》Chapter 2: Godlike Buffs
Advertisement
I just finished making my small makeshift shelter. It's not like I plan to live my life here, after all I still have that mission. But seeing this forest I think that the reason I'm here is to be somewhat like a peacekeeper.
"Alright"
Finally it's done, The shelter has a decent distance from the ground and also a big enough living space for me. Looking back at how I did this I still feel a bit different. I mean I finished this in a single day but it's like I did work equivalent to a week of hard labor for ten men. Well this is all thanks to the blessing? that the weird being called me(I don't call him a god because he said so himself that he isn't one). Anyway I found out after defeating the beast from before about my increased strength.
It happened like this...
After slaying the beast I went to start making my shelter. At first I planned for a simple one hidden high in the tree's. I looked for a spot and started gathering materials. I was ready with a knife the whole time as I looked for missing lumber. Then I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but a huge tree suddenly started falling. I tried running but I realized that I was surrounded by a pack of the same beast that I just killed.
Closing my eyes I was readying for my demise but then a miracle happened. As if I was made out of steel the gigantic tree split in two as it crashed down on me. What's more I didn't feel a thing, at that moment a thought came to mind.
[Could it be?]
I thought to myself as the beast all pounced at me, testing out my hypothesis I accepted all their attacks. And then when their attacks reached the sound of iron hitting steel was heard.

The beast' attacks all hit me and yet I felt nothing. There were no visible wounds only that my clothes were slightly torn. I was amazed and a grin fromed in my face as I massacered the pack of beast. After that I hung their corpeses high up in the tree's this way the other predators would go here and not hunt me. I then picked up half of the giant tre and headed to the spot I wanted to build my shelter.
The spot was a bit too small so I looked for a wider area which was also farther from the hanging beast carcasses. And after a whole days worth of work I finally finsihed my shelter.
"Then I guess tomorrow would be the day I prepare to look for a city huh"
As I rest in my soft beast skin mat I think about how I will begin my journey. I could make a beast skin jug but that would just be. It's not that I am picky but if I think about it now I didn't get any materials for making a jug a while ago. If I did I could start traveling tomorrow but...
Also using those carcasses is already a no go. I left them there for hours already who knows what predators came and took a bite of it. Using that as a jug is just plain idiotic, think about all the microorganisms that grew there coming from various other beast.
Just as I was about to fall asleep an idea flashed in my mind.
"Magic!"
I remember that this is not the same world I was in before. And if I think about it having a body like this is already weird enough magic is not impossible, am I right? Also if I remember correctly that weird being said that this was a world of magic. I'm not sure if that's true or not but meh. Anyway there should be magi in this world and the god would never put me in this world as a peace keeper without it. I mean if I were to go up against a mage with only my power then that would be my end, he obviously gave me magic... right?

"I knew something was up! yeah... there was also that problem"
While thinking if magic really was given to me I realized a major problem. It's that even if I was given high magic capabilities there is the problem about how to use it. If I remember correctly in the manga and light novel's I sometimes read to use magic one only needed to feel it in the atmosphere, sometimes it's just in your body waiting to be used through some weird incantation or the most laughable is imagination.
It's not like I'm saying it's stupid it's just that it feels more like a psychic ability than magic that's all. But the thought is still cool, I mean making a thunderstorm or a tornado out of ones imagination is something that would be pretty awesome if I do say so myself.
"So I should try meditating"
Though I am not a believer of the gods and what not after that meeting with the weird being I kinda started believeing in it. But I won't take back my word on the catholic people, I mean there was this being but he said that he wasn't god. I stay with my stance on this topic that god is a simple mental constuct unless I am convinced otherwise or proven wrong by that weird being but whatever people have their own personal beliefs.
"Alrigth breath in... breath out... breath in... breath out..."
I'm doing the meditating I learned from a shaolin priest once and I gotta hand it to him it's pretty darn relaxing. Although I can still only feel what I felt before it's still the same. But it's not like I was able to sense the prescence of people just by simply practicing for a day. In all honesty it took me quite a long time as I already said but still that training was just... The memories of that just makes me want ot die.
"Huh"
I let out a small voice as I felt something weird for a moment. It was like a presence but it wasn't. It was neither human, beast or anything of that matter. If I should describe it would be a peice of paper that can talk. Though it's voice was small and almost mute.
"There"
I felt it again this time coming from outside, I extend my sense to reach the outside and when I did I realized something. The direction the strange paper thin like presence is coming from the first beast I killed.
"It couldn't possibly be alive can it?"
I thought to myself but then I remembered a world of magic would have not normal beat but magic beast. And what would a magic beast always have? Magic! So that means I was successful at sensing magic? This is unbelievable! HAHAHA, with this I could already walk through the world, adding to my enhanced physical strength and abilites as well as magic I still have the talent I had since my last life.

Trashmancer
Average Chapter Length: 3,000 Words. Updates: Whenever I finish a chapter. Synopsis: Down on his luck, Eddie decided to enter the VRMMORPG Chronicles Of Fantasy with hopes of becoming a powerful monster slaying, magic slinging, princess-loving player, but a round of thieves chucked him deep into the trash pit underneath Arindought. Without hope of getting out, or making a new character, he ventures forwards through piles of trash- literally. Join our paste-eating main character, a snarky but helpful system, and more than two dimensional side characters, as they explore and deal with problems within the game. Spectacular magic? Over-sized breasts? “Onee-chan?” No, I’m sorry (Especially for the last bit). This is no drug fueled story about getting trapped in a video game with an evil AI or a cute bunny-girl harem isekai. It’s just about Eddie, his trash, and his journey in his first gaming venture. This book will be published on kindle after its completion. That means that the chapters will have to be deleted. So please, get reading! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)
Five years ago, the first Silvergate was found. At first, they called it a hoax. But since then, more and more people have entered the alternate dimension called Northworld, received their Interface, and going on to real adventures. As it gained momentum, they called it a problem. Now, they call it a crime. But for nearly a half a million people, it's now their real home. Yearning. Escape. Duty. The reasons to go are many. Despite the criminalization of the Silvergating, people still seek out their ticket to Northworld. But for new Gaters Jasper Hill, Erika Haglund, Henry Esteban, Northworld has surprises in store. Not every rumor are false, not every conspiracy theory is stupid. When the veil lift for them, showing truths about Northworld that no one suspected, they may have a hard time making themselves heard. And being trusted may mean the difference between life or exile forever. Northworld is a litrpg story where people enter an actual world, submit to an RPG-type Interface, and discover an alternate reality. You could describe it as a reversible Isekai since people alternate between Earth and Northworld. The characters are usually casual about it, which means casual talk and the not-infrequent profanity. Four letter words dropped in conversation (or internal monologue). Warning: one potentially horrible theme and one implied sex scene. Book 1 is complete, as the title says. Book 2 is expected to start in 2022 (hopefully).

Every prince born in the Tian Dynasty goes through a ritual to recover memories from their previous lives. With these memories, they receive amazing cultivation techniques and martial skills that make them stand above all other men and able to rule the world from the Heavenly Court. When Tian Yan wakes up from the ritual, he realizes something is wrong and he does not seem to possess any of the advantages he was expecting. Will he be able to compete in the backstabbing, scheming, and politicking that is required to succeed his father and inherit the Imperial throne? Or even survive? After all, they stand above all other men and that means the biggest threat to a prince is the other princes. Heavenly Flame is a Xianxia story with a heavy focus on drama, relationships, and romance. It will have a lot of recognizable things from the genre but I will also try to subvert elements that I do not like about it. Scheduled chapters will be released Tuesdays at 11:00 CET and Thursdays at 19:00 CET. I might still release additional chapters depending on my other workload but these will be marked as such.

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
