《Another World and I'm still rich?》Chapter 20. Creation of the Sword Technique, The journey begins.

I train in the techniques for hours without stop, possibly even days.
Dual swords, Dual daggers, polearm, glaive, spear, sword, hammer, axe...
All of the weapons avaible to me here I trained in.
"All of these techniques... I need to sort out the ones that don't fit each other in combo's and break the flow... But which weapon is the most suited to me?" (Colin)
I look at the weapons and remember the flow of all the combo's I did with the weapons and how well I could do them.
"Definetly dual swords. Nearly all of the techniques could be combo'd with eachother except for a few..." (Colin)
I sit down and notice Vivian approaching.
"Colin... I got the books a week and three days ago... You have been in this yard for that long. James has even returned and we all don't know what to do." (Vivian)
"Just be on stand-by. I might have to leave for a little bit of an adventure and if you guys want to come you should be ready. Also, thank you for the books... Did you get something nice for yourself aswell?" (Colin)
She nods and then leaves.
I grab the books and study every technique in them.
Two days pass and I finish reading them.
"No techniques for dual swords? The most techniques were for the axe but I couldn't make a combo bigger than seven techniques in a row whilst the dual swords still hold the twenty five techniques in a row combo. Quite useless these books were." (Colin)
I neatly stack the books and put the weapons back in their spot and then go to the entrance and main hall of the building.
Everybody is there with travel clothing and seems ready for adventure.
Vivian steps forward and looks me straight in the eye for one second before looking away.

"We... We are all coming with you! We are your slaves after all... And we wouldn't know what to do when you dissapear aswell!" (Vivian)
"Sure sure. I had already anticipated that most of you will come... Didn't think all but no matter. Just get enough food for about... Half a year. If we run out then we'll get more from towns. Also... Our target is the Multi-Race Kingdom. Seems like they have something I need." (Colin)
They all nod and leave and I head back to the yard, grab two swords.
"Time to finalize the sword Technique... What should I call it actually... Long, wide attacks that resemble a whirlwind but then sudden thrusts forward..." (Colin)
I think for a while and train at the same time.
Suddenly... My brain gets an idea.
"Thundering Whirlwind." (Colin)
The moment I finish the technique main combo a strong wind current blows through the city and bounces back from the walls...
"Oops... I think I knocked a few guards off the wall. So it's this strong when done correctly... And I wasn't even using my full strength. It gathers the wind generated by my moves in one area and the finishing technique makes it all disperse suddenly... Powerful and deadly." (Colin)
I put the training swords down and notice they have many dents and cracks on them from me just cutting air with the Thundering Whirlwind technique.
I go back into the main hall with nobody there and a lot of noise coming from the rooms.
"Guess I should get ready aswell... Sadly we are going to have to leave this place to nature. Should I just sell it? No... They wouldn't be happy... I don't need people who are mad at me travelling with me." (Colin)

When I reach my room I notice everything is already packed for me. By everything I mean... Literally everything that isn't a bed, bookcase, seat or table.
I easily lift up the bag and put it on my back.
Feels like a feather to me...
I go to the entrance and wait for the others.
A few hours pass and the last one to arrive was Lily who is still... Frightened by the sight of me. I think it's frightened? She acts all weird around me.
"Alright... Everybody is here. In which direction is the multi-race kingdom?" (Colin)
"Towards the gate you defended... Towards Karalok. They already took it by the time I got there but they let me trade." (James)
"Grab the horses and carts and carriages. We are heading towards Karalok. A town is about to burn just as a message that somebody wants to meet somebody else." (Colin)
A wicked grin appears on my face. The face of somebody about to kill hundreds or possibly thousands without batting an eye.
"You... Aren't going to kill civilians right!?" (Lily)
"If they remain as civilians and don't attack me. Yes. They will survive. But if they grab a torch and throw it at any of my summons... They will die. Simple as that." (Colin)
Lily seems relieved that I won't pointlessly massacare everybody.
After an hour we leave the town and head towards Karalok.
"Vivian... I'm coming. Just wait until you hear of an entire city burning... I also need to show the Multi-Race kingdom what happens when you mess with somebody who can power-up and fast." (Colin)
I whisper to myself.
The entire trip to Karalok a wicked grin was on my face as I stand in the air making wind below me pushing me forward as my hands are crossed.
I am currently looking at Karalok.
Now... What should I do with this city...

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)

In a land born straight out of fantasy, where endless plains of flowers paint a rainbow canvas across the land, and winged behemoths make their homes in lakes of cold fire. Beings capable of crushing mountains with their monstrous might, creatures that breathe fire and magic and death all at once. In this land, our story begins. Hello dear readers. Long have I been a voracious book gobbler and tonight I thought I'd try my hand. However I crave acknowledgement so please leave a review, all criticism is welcome. If my meagre offerings are accepted by the book gods, (and to a lesser extent, this community) I shall endeavor to persevere with my writing, though this was done on a whim. Probably will be edited at some point, perhaps blue box chan will make an appearance. Typos are likely, please point them out if you see any. And now that you have been captivated by my enchanting synopsis, please enjoy.

For thousands of years, the Primordial Towers stood with their secrets. The world looked on with curious eyes until the cracking of the first led to millions of deaths. The nations of the world fight to take control of the other Towers and use the power to rise above the pits of conflict, their actions causing the land to be engulfed by unspeakable horrors. After countless centuries none can remember the start nor see the end. The wisest souls have chosen death before birth, yet far more continue to grow up to enter the slaughter. Among this endless cycle stand four young souls set to enter the fray to end all wars: The sniper who fights for survival at the chance for freedom The captain that wants to fix the world to his image The ace pilot clinging to the azure sky And the mechanized driver eager for death Each of them connected through their powers as espers, fighting for separate nations trapped in Perpetual War. *** Expect an update every other week!
