《How Does One Become Strong?》Chapter 9- Benefactor?
Advertisement
"First off, bring me the carcass of an F- ranked creature."(Dark Dragon)
"Hmmh, that's actually going to be quite hard most F- creatures are tiny. Wait, why do you even... never mind I'll get it."(Jack)
Finally being released from the terrifying pressure I set off on my journey to find a F- creature.
"Okay Streak, since F- creatures are usually tiny and good at hiding we might need to split up. Streak, you go in the direction of the cave I'll go this way."(Jack)
"Alright."(Streak)
After watching Streak for a while I turn around and start my own search. I scan the soil and trees for any signs of creatures. After a while my eyes start feeling weird, I close them as an unbearable pain seeps in. It feels like termites swarming and eating my eyes as I can only stand and do nothing. I feel my eyes moving as if trying to burst out of their sockets. I fall to the ground scratching my eyes to no avail before finally the pain subsides and I can finally open my eyes again.
As my eyes open I see a completely different place from before. All around me I can see trails left by animals and where there was a battle which animals had passed by there. It was amazing.
[You have been given the skill perfect vision by 'Dark Dragon']
[You have gained the title Mentally Scarred as you have been the victim of unbearable pain]
"Damn, I feel grateful for the skill but did he have to send it to me like that? I nearly died"(Jack)
Once again looking around I see tracks of all kinds of animals. Ignoring most of them I search for a few particular ones. "Bingo" I say as I spot the trail of a small worm.

'That's got to be F- ranked right?'
Following the trail I find a small black worm.
[You have encountered the F- ranked Black Worm]
"Wow, what a creative name...not. Stupid Titans."(Jack)
I quickly bring my claw forward and stab it in the head. Welp, let's get back. I retrace my steps to the large tree that Drago is residing in. 'Yeah, I gave him a nickname. Problem?' Sitting outside of the tree is Streak chewing on a bone.
"Took ya long enough Jack."(Streak)
"Yeah, well there was a 'situation' so don't get arrogant." I say while glaring at the tree Drago's in.
"You didn't like my gift?" A burnt and decaying muzzle pokes out of the tree.
"I thought you said you couldn't leave the tree?"(Jack)
"Ho~, getting arragont are we?" He says blowing a small puff of air that throws me against a tree.
[-20 HEALTH]
"I gained enough strength to move a bit thanks to the mouse Streak brought."(Drago)
At that moment Tor stumbles into the clearing and falls flat on her face.
"What. Are. You. Doing. HERE!?"(Jack)
"W-well I was bored and I thought you might be in trouble so I came to save you." She says while looking at me with teary eyes.
"Why does it feel like you're suited to be some kind of heroic Prince? Anyways, I told you to stay there for a good reason. It's dangerous out here."(Jack)
"Hello? Tor."(Jack)
Tor suddenly drops to her knees and nervously says
"H-h-hello great benefactor."(Tor)
"HAHAHAHA. I knew there was something familiar about you little one. You are of the royal matriarchal lineage."(Drago)
"Okay, I feel like I am missing something here."(Jack)
"Of course you are. None other than the royal matriarchal lineage would know that I was the one who trained their founder. That I was the one who created their kingdom. Of course you are missing something."(Drago)

"Well, I have a question for you Drago."(Jack)
"I think you have something mistaken. You do not have the right to ask me questions. It is I who asks you questions.(Drago)
"Grrrr. Fine"(Jack)
"Good, at least you understand your place."(Drago)
"If I may, what is the reason our great benefactor is with this plebeian."(Tor)
"Ahem, We'll talk later Tor."(Jack)
"Heh, I like you already Victoria. Anyways, as I do not see anything wrong with telling this to the royalty of my kingdom I shall tell you. You see, all though this kid and I are centuries away in power still, I have been weakened greatly by the TITANS and banished here. The only one in this forest who I could ask for help to escape was this young boy."(Drago)
"May I join you in escaping? I have to get my throne back from my sister."(Tor)
"Hmmh, very well. I shall help you escape if you shall allow me one favor when you take back the throne. Deal?"(Drago)
"Yes!"(Tor)
"Hmph, I bet she just gained a notification saying [You have made a deal with the devil]"(Jack)
As such, we started our March to freedom.

Odyssey of the Unrivalled
What do you do when you have it all? When you can do anything, go anwhere, know anything with less effort than stretching your fingers? When you feel jealous of any passer-by, just because they have something to do, somewhere to be? The answer was simple to him: erase your memories, seal your power and live a normal life. Still, something felt wrong. It just didn't feel... fulfilling. But then a magical formation appears in his office, and he and his co-workers get catapulted into another world. Profanity will be kept to a minimum, but will be included to keep realism. There will be some gore, vegans and animal activists alike beware. Will include some comedy, some meaningful conversation (I hope) and some things you will (hopefully) never expect in this genre. Hopefully quality will increase as it goes on. No schedule for chapters, but they will keep coming. Feedback welcome. View my other story at https://royalroadl.com/fiction/13168/fork-this-life

Return of Chaos
For the longest time, it was thought that the citizens of Earth were the only denizens of the galaxy incapable of developing superhuman abilities — but recent events have flipped that assumption on its head. Between Austin Travis, Mote Emerson, Pierce Bradley, and their friends, Earth is now host to 12 Chaotics… as well as a myriad of mysteries surrounding them. From a new nemesis in the form of a clone, to connections to ancient technology from a long-lost civilization, to the ability to summon powerful legendary weapons, these 12 Chaotics have unknowingly become entangled in something larger than any of them have ever imagined. As if in response to these discoveries, the sinister machinations of galactic evil are churning. The metallic infection, a calamitous nanotechnology “disease” thought to have been vanquished 20 years ago, is slowly returning — and alongside it, a number of conflicts thought to be long past. While they only seek to better grasp their own abilities, Earth’s Chaotics will soon find themselves in the crossfire of returning threats and old heroes. These superpowered Earthians may not have chosen this path through life, but it will still be up to them to determine if history remembers them — to determine if history remembers the saga of the Keys. Return of Chaos is a direct sequel to Chosen Chaos, which begins the Key Saga novel series. Be sure to read Chosen Chaos first, to understand the plot and the characters thus far! Additionally, the Key Saga as a whole takes place 20 years after Rise. You will not need to read Rise to understand the events of Return of Chaos, however the latter will spoil many of the events that occurred in Rise, due to the simple chronology of taking place later in the timeline.
