After the silent treatment received Red slowly walk down while noticing the glare of demise. Even Red knows that he wasn’t the type to be like in this part of the world. Even the King has a difficult face after knowing his last hero wasn’t a hero to status. With a solemn atmosphere, King Balin raised the mood by again leading a toss to the new found heroes of Loredon. The mood lighten a bit as a banquet was served to the nobles, the two heroes and heroin was well received during the banquet made to let the nobles to mingle with their new found light. Only one light was dim that it seems to be extinguished, Red was being ignored even by the maid and steward that attend to him just before the ceremony. He knew it was too good to be true, even in this new world his luck was rotten as it can be. Ignored by the spectacle, he retreat back into the summoning chamber loitering around the room observing the architecture of the room. On those walls, there were painting of mens riding to battle against four eyes that sits on top of a tower. As Red tries to trace back the painting to its origin he was interrupted by a voice heard from the door of the chamber.
‘it seems you have taken an interest to our visual arts my young light’ turning around it was the King who has spoken to him. Surprised by the sudden appearance of the King he really doesn’t know what to reply with. ‘being ignore does make you a lot interested to your surroundings’ flustered by Red reply the King then reply ‘ im sorry for the nobles attitude, they are a primitive bunch who only care about their own personal reasons’ ‘yeah well they are supposed to be disappointed, even myself was disappointed aren’t you too my King’ ‘haha good words my young light, I was astounded by your two companions status but comparing to you and the common people you are a bit better than them those itself was an assurance for me to trust you as our heroes, moreover status doesn’t always assure you of your strength’ the king word of wisdom struck Red’s heart. Never before he has seen Kings from the fictional world that was as wise as him. Kings in fiction would always be depicted as being ruthless and impulsive in nature but contrary to King Balin he exude an aura that most king doesn’t have.’im surprised my king I have never saw a king that is wise as you’ the king can only chuckle ‘ you implore me young hero,I agree with you regarding that fact even I know im not one of those typical kings, but to quench your curiosity I would only leave it to this, you are one of those heroes and im grateful that you have come here to our Kingdom of Loredon’ the King gave a light bow towards Red. Flustered by the King’s action, he reply it with also a light bow. ‘come young hero let us rest, tomorrow has a lot to do especially for you’ .

Red then obediently oblige to the old King command. Guided by the King’s personal steward, Red was then brought into his personal room that was specially prepare for them. Entering the room it was heavily decorated with lavish furniture and comforts. It really display the lucrative world of royalty in its name. satisfied with his room, Red went to bed and notice a pair of clothing for him not realizing it he was walking all the time wearing his labcoat and black formal clothes. After changing to the this new world cloth it feel a bit itchy but it was comfortable and warm. The weather here were a lot colder than his country weather. For the other two Red think that they can already adapt with the changes since the temperature would favorably suits them more than him. Noticing his room has a veranda, he went outside to take some fresh air. Opening the mirrored door, gush of cold air flow into the room the sky was black as nigh. In front of him was the clear border of the Kingdom of Loredone. Flames of light accompany the silent road of the town below the castle that he currently reside in. even at far he could hear the bustling sound of the lively night of the town. It seems they were celebrating some occasion. Even the air that he breathes was as fresh as it can get, even with one breath clear his mind instantly. This unpolluted air that reside in this world atmosphere was very precious compared to his polluted air of his own world. Appreciating the scenery of the estranged world, his minds wander as he glances through the night. Then a sneeze could be heard to the right of his ear, a female dress in a night gown hug herself tightly due to the coldness of the night. her tan like skin was not compatible to the cold night of this country. But to Red opinion, her beauty exude the norm of the usual typical depiction of beauty. Her normal facial expression could not be seen, as her cold and ice queen appearance disappear melted by the shy and honest country girl like face. As red’s eyes met with Miranda’s, both of them awkwardly stare at each other. Breaking the silence, Red ask her a question; ‘hye, how is it going, feel at home already?’ after a brief silent moment Red thought that he would be ignore but she then replied ‘I don’t really like this place and im still wary about our current condition, why am I heree’ tears could be seen collecting at the corner of her eye. before the thought of her break into sadness, Red hastily try to comfort her. ‘arr hey you know if we ask the king tomorrow we may ask him if we can return back home’ hearing it from Red her eyes then open wide while frantically said ‘really??’ in a high pitch tone. Red was now in a pinch, he would be in trouble if her expectation wouldn’t be as expected. ‘ but Miss Miranda I wouldn’t let my hope high if I were you’ ‘oh I see’ her face start to dampened back again but then she surprisingly ask something ‘ by the way how do you know my name?’ with a blanked face Red wonder if she was even aware the ceremony that was held just now. ‘hmm you know, didn’t your name came up before on the hologram’ ‘ hologram?’ now Red was sure of it, this woman doesn’t really know anything he bets that even her cheat like abilities were unknown to her. With a sigh, he felt the obligation to explain the things that happen to her. Meeting their eyes again, Red casual ask her to step back a bit. Without knowing the reason Miranda back away a bit. Taking the distance from his room veranda and Miranda’s his guess was around 60-70cm in length. Running from the far side he leaps into the air and lands to Miranda’s side with his body crunch to his knee. It was far too long for his unathletic body too suddenly move using exaggerated movement. A low pitch scream could be heard when Red succeed in landing to her side. ‘ehhh why are you coming here, are you going to do something to me’ her frantic behavior start to annoy Red even with that gorgeous face annoying is still annoying. Hastily putting his hand to her mouth to shut her up. She try to retaliates but unable to as red already grab her waist and carrying her to her room. Her height was slightly taller than Red mark at 170cm. letting her down carefully to her bed, her eyes shows feeling of scorn towards Red. As she was laying there silently preparing herself for the things to comes, she closed her eyes willingly to accept her fate. Red trouble by her actions sigh and spoke gently ‘miss Miranda please open your eyes and please sit comfortably I won’t do anything the things that you are thinking right now. Hearing Red’s plea she slowly sit on top of her bed while still showing contempt to Red. ‘ now I will release my hand but im sorry for my action I guess I wasn’t really thinking much before doing it, anyway im here to help you so just bear with for awhile’ she then nods showing her acceptance. Removing his hand, the situation was still under control but animosity is leaking from Miranda’s body. Then she start to say something ‘ so what are you here for?’ saying it with a wary tone. Red then reply ‘ well the things is I think you are not really aware of the event that was unfold just now so I kind of felt the need to explain it to you’ ‘well you could have just said so you don’t need to silence me or anything’ ‘haha well sorry about that I start to panicked when I see you want to scream’ ‘hmph!’ ‘anyway back to the story, the things is we are summoned here by the people of this world through unusual mean and by getting here we have obtain immeasurable power so..’ she then interfere with Red explanation ‘what are you saying isn’t this a candid camera from my acting agency? And what is this rubbish about another world are you crazy or something’ ‘huh~, it depends if you want to believe me or not I don’t really care either way, im just here to explain some things about you before being ostracized or something’ ‘hmm fine then and why are you being ostracized?’ ‘ I will answer that later, first show me you silver shield that has been given to you just now’ ‘ ouh that thing that came from the sky it was a neat magic trick’ still oblivious by her current situation Red just remain quiet while she search for her shield. Giving it to Red, he then explain to her’ now if you see here it just a plain old shield with nothing on it right, now touch it with one of your finger and say status’ bewildered by Red request she just follow the command ‘Status’ words start to form at the silver shield, there it was her name, age and even her status. Her eye widened ‘what’s this?? And how come it has my name on it and why is it showing my age urgh this is frustating’ ignoring her complaints, he then explain one by one regarding each status and skills that she have. After a while she started to understood what Red was teaching her but still wasn’t convinced about the other world and this mumbo jumbo regarding magic. Ending his explanation Red then said ‘ this is just the introduction or more like exposure just be prepare for tomorrow they would probably start training you by tomorrow’ ‘ok then but why are you so concern about me?’ ‘ hmm I guess I don’t want you to be clueless for tomorrow and I don’t want you to suddenly be shock by magic, I think its quite late now I take my leave then and sorry for the earlier incident goodnight then’ ‘ okay goodnight’ going back the same way as just now Red laid his tired body into the comfy bed with all the happening for today he was impressed to himself as he was still able to calmly accepting the sudden changes. As red minds wander he then thought about Miranda appearance just now while wearing her night gown her curvaceous body was really shown by it along with her beautiful face he was still unable to comprehend how can he carry her body while not being enticed of groping her. Ignoring even his lewd thought he then slumber through the night with fate waiting for tomorrow.

A Spirit Vein's Guide to Immortality
TL;DR Synopsis: Man dies from falling banana, gets interrogated but answers vaguely, suffers consequences Actual synopsis: Spirit veins. Many consider them to be the pillar on which the world of cultivation is built. These things served as the foundation for the first few realms that would allow humanity to achieve its everlasting dream of immortality. However, in the present age, these pockets of condensed energy only exist to be under the foundations of massive organizations, fostering a new generation of fighters while passively radiating the energy they contain. Nevertheless, spirit veins are still an important element in the world of cultivation, albeit much less so. With that in mind, have you ever considered what it would be like for someone to turn into a spirit vein? No? Well, Arthur never thought about it either. Going through the usual reincarnation schtick (if one could consider it usual), Arthur was eventually brought into a place where a god asked him where he would like to be reborn. Unsurprisingly, Arthur told the god his ideal rebirth. However, soon enough, he would come to realize that he should have been more specific with it. Now being reborn as the smallest spirit vein, or if you could even consider him a spirit vein, Arthur wondered what he could do other than wait for time to consume him…and that’s where the system came in. With it, he would experience multiple stories of hardships, adventure, romance, and action…all underground. Unless…? Do keep in mind that English is not my first language, so I would like to apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors, typos, miscalculations and so on. In fact, I'd highly appreciate it if you tell me those mistakes. Also, this story focuses quite a lot on the gradual progression of the MC at the beginning, but in the long run, upgrading sprees would probably be more common. Thanks for reading this small note!

Hush | on hold
"Your name?"When I stayed silent, he repeated himself. "Your name?""Jeyri." I let out quietly."And last name?""Rae...""Jeyri Rae..." He crouched down next to me and moved the hair from in front of my face, "I dislike when things get difficult, I end up doing things I'd much rather not do. Do you want to know what happened to the last person who made things difficult for me, hmm?" He asked, leaning into me. Is he talking about me calling the cops? He pressed his gun against my head and frowned, "You get it don't you?"I nodded quickly. "Good... And if you tell anyone what you saw today, I'll know." He pressed his finger against my lips and smiled, "So hush."
