《Another World and I'm still rich?》Chapter 40. Names and Plans.
Advertisement
After a very 'peaceful' sleep, I decide to go to outside for a little bit of fresh air.
"Still dark, huh... But I can't sleep for some reason. Oh well... Better think of this name for the company." I say quielty as I sit down and look at the stars.
(Hmm... Wasn't there some sort of god of protection and war in one of my games? I think... Egyptian? Was it? What was the name... Come on brain think!)
As I sit there thinking, I notice movement in the house and I see that Dominic himself can't rest well either.
I keep thinking as to what the name of such a god is until It comes to my head.
"Bast! The Egyptian Goddess of War and Protection! Finally remembered it..." As I sigh and take a look at the stars once more.
(Bast Trading Union has a nice ring to it... I doubt there's a god or goddess named Bast in this world, hopefully there isn't. But that's going to be the Union name since the Union of our companies still doesn't have a proper one.
The name for my company though... Eh, I'll just take something from the Solar System of my home... Hmm... Europa? Yeah, Europa sounds good doesn't it? Europa Trade Corporation which is a member of the Bast Trading Union. That, for some reason, actually sounds kind of cool.)
I get up from the soft grass and stretch my body as I notice the sun is coming up.
"How long have I been sitting here for?" I ask myself, expecting not to get an answer.
"About three hours." Suddenly, I get an answer and then I remember Dominic was also walking around.
I look behind myself and actually see Dominic laying down on the grass a little bit away from me.

"Couldn't sleep?" I ask Dominic and he just nods.
"Can't really sleep when you know the world is turning towards total war." After he finishes that sentence, I notice more and more people walking in the house.
We both look at the amount of people and then look back to the amazing sunrise.
"Seems they can't rest well either. Colin, remember what I told you about the nation? Well... The fun part is... My city is the closest to it in the entire Empire, so... We are going to take most of the attack when they get here since the small nations in their path are not going to even hinder them." Dominic basically explains to me why he can't sleep.
I just stand there, looking at the sunrise before answering.
"I better get to my company then. You know why." I say and then Dominic nods and I start walking towards the HQ.
When I get there, I notice Bunvers arriving at the same time.
"Headmaster! I am glad to see you this early in the day. Have you decided on the name of the company?" Bunvers immediatly asks.
"Indeed. Europa Trade Corporation. That's going to be the name of my company. I also decided the name of our little Union, Bunvers. We'll call it Bast Trading Union. I just need you to get those two notices out to everybody. Can you handle it, Bunvers?" I look at him.
"Of course! It is a small matter! I shall get to it now!" He runs off as fast as he can and I sit down inside my office in the HQ, on the 12'th floor.
I look out the window and admire the view.
An hour or so later, Bunvers arrives in my office.

"The notices have been put up and the name of the company has been engraved above the doors. What shall we do now?" Bunvers asks and sits down after I point towards the sofa.
"I'd like it if we could expand our little Union to every city possible as fast as possible. We don't need proper second HQ's in there, just a presence big enough to affect the entire city.
How fast do you think we can do that, Bunvers?" I ask and he starts thinking.
"A week at most to get to the furthest neighboring city if we go at full speed with escorts. I'm including the time needed to build as well. So, in a week we should have a presence in all our neighboring cities. Is that all right, Headmaster?" Bunvers looks at me.
"That is more than all right. You may go on with this plan but involve the others as well. It's not a proper trading union if only two of us keep it alive. I give you full control over the expansion plan for now but give me reports if you can." I answer and Bunvers stands up and bows.
"I am gladdened by your decision!" Bunvers stops bowing and immediatly walks out of my office.
(At least he listens and actually follows my orders. I think he's too afraid or admires me too much to do something else. Well, as long as they don't decide to get too full of themselves I'm fine with them.)

Is It Too Late To Move My Lair?
A legendary dragon... It has been told in the stories for hundreds of years. Some say it keeps a mountain of treasure in its cave, some say it is a vicious beast, some say it protects the village nearby, some claim it can grant their wishes, and some just think it's nothing more than a fairytale. He is not. The dragon is very real, although he isn't bothered by what people think of him in the slightest. He also doesn't have a grand treasure, nor does he grant wishes, like a magical genie. He is not interested in eating humans either. And as for protecting them… well. This is the story of the time before the legends, how they came to life and a dragon in the quest of his snooze. In a nutshell, this is a simple, light-hearted story with a dragon in it. What I have in mind is a relatively short one compared to most of the works on this site, but we'll see where it goes. This is my first attempt at writing something like this, so please be patient and kind in pointing out mistakes. As for the posting schedule... let's say it will be sporadic. Hope you enjoy reading, as much as I do while writing it… THE STORY IS NOT DROPPED, JUST SLOW ON THE UPDATES. Cover art by Nane, aka me. (Cross-posted on Scribble Hub.)
8 176Giantslayer
Synopsis: Alain is a fledgling Giantslayer, enhanced individuals capable of killing deadly giants. But these giants are not big, they are what ancient humans would refer to as mundane animals or beasts. 'The Final Curse' as many humans call it, was a curse that shrunk down the entire human population to the size of small rodents. When the curse first occurred, the majority of the human population was eaten by beasts who are now of towering heights and sizes. But their abandoned gargantuan structures were not built for naught, the remaining humans retreated back into their now giant buildings and rebuild societies and nations inside of them. Follow Alain in his quest to right the wrongs done to his past and hunt down the elusive and mythical Elder Giants, giants capable of intellects and speech. Are they real? Alain certainly insists so despite no one believing him. But perhaps it did not matter, they were real enough to him for what they did to his family. A/N: I'm pretty new to writing creatively so I hope to improve as we move along the story. The prose I use is still fairly simple and 'plain', but I am also new to literature in general so I am hoping to improve my vocabulary as well. It should also come under no surprise that I am a non-native English speaker and writer as well. With that said, I do appreciate constructive feedback. Please don't be overly mean at least. All the chapters are rough drafts that will be edited in the future. The cover is by this user from pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4545042
8 237Cowboys and Wizards
Currently in queue: Episode 12 in progress. Set in the Aurora: Apocalypse universe.Updated every Wednesday. If it's not updating, I'm working on my other fictions.If nothing's updating, I ran out of whiskey. Be patient. Cowboys and Wizards is a hot mess of garbage that should not be taken seriously by anyone. It’s a vaguely-GameLit spoof of Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomoni (In Another World With My Smartphone) where the MC ends up in another world and fused with his crappy smartphone, mashed up with fantasy western elements. Dungeons & Dragons meets the Wild West in an alternate high-fantasy timeline. Guns & Goblins. Cowboys & Wizards. Locomotives & Dwarves. Don’t expect great writing, accurate numbers, or common sense. Hell, don’t expect anything — just relax and let it happen.
