《Never Bring Sword Into a Gun Fight》A Curious Case in the Tree's Nest
Advertisement
[Where are we going, Mr Dean?] Billy
[There should be a small village ahead. Let's just follow the road for now] me
We've been leaving Dasi village for hours now. According to the map I get from Val, there is a small village not far from here.
It doesn't have any name written on the map.
Is the settlement too small that it doesn't have any name? Or the map is not that detailed?
But Dasi village is registered here.
Oh well, It's not that rare that a medieval mapping system missing out on some detail after all.
As long as all the road on this map is still there, I won't complain about some unnamed villages.
After walking for more hours, we finally arrived at a village. It's far smaller than Dasi village. It doesn't even have a wall, let alone a gate. I can easily count the building here using my fingers.
[Billy, can you secure our lodging in that tavern over there? I don't see any information board here so I'll ask around for a mercenaries request.] Me
[No problem Sir. I'll also ask around the tavern for information.] Billy
[Thanks. And get some food while you're at it.] Me
[Will do] Billy
I ask around some people here and they all pointing to the building near the center that is supposed to be their village chief house.
[Greetings sire. Do you need something?] Village chief
[Umm... Good evening... I'm here to ask if you need any assistance from a mercenary?] Me
[I'm afraid we don't have any requests of that sort at the moment, sir.] Village chief
[Hmm, it's fine. Then, can you tell me something about this village? I don't see any information about it on the map that I got.] Me

[This small settlement sir? Haha. I actually surprise if this place was even drawn on the map.] Village chief.
[As you can see, this is just a small community. We don't bother naming this place but the wanderer that comes here calls it the Tree's Nest. I'm the acting leader here, my name is Loan.] Loan
....
[Thats about all that I can say about this place sir.] Loan
[It's good enough, thank you. If anything comes up, you can find me in the tavern.] Me
[No problem sir and thank you for your concern. Please, do enjoy our food and mead.] Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
[Welcome back, Mr. Dean. Do you find anything?] Billy
[I'm afraid not. Nothing we can do here. How about you?] Me
[I'm also empty. But, that old man over there, he claims that he's a bard. He said that he's not having any information to share, but maybe if you talk to him] Billy
[I'll try] Me
[Ehm. Good evening sir.] Me
[Oohh another mercenary? I wonder why this small place has become so lively.] Old Bard
[Heard you're a bard. Care to entertainers me with some story?] Me
[Straight to business, I see. Hmm? Can you come closer child?] Old Bard
Hmm?
[Hahahaha. I see. Bard sigil eh? You ought to attract unwanted attention if you dangling it on your chest like that, young man.] Old Bard.
[Umm... Thanks for the advice. But back to the chase, are you sure you don't have any information for us?] Me
[Hmm... I do actually. But I don't know if I want to tell you] Old bard
[You can name your price] Me
[Hahahaha... Just look at me, young man! Do you think I can use the money you gave me? Nah, I'm just a retired old man. Piece! is what I need.] Old bard

[Excuse me, ] Billy

[Hmm? Hahaha, I see... A lycan fang... Interesting. I hope you don't have it undeserved. Because what I'm going to tell you will bring you trouble otherwise. Hahaha...] Old man

Reincarnated as a pokemon!
After a difficult life Felix Danim finally gives up and moves on to his next big journey. He wakes up to find himself having been reincarnated into a pokemon! How will Felix live, or, more importantly, survive his new circumstances? The world of pokemon is not as kind or forgiving as he remembered. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story is set in an alternate universe where pokemon exclusively in the protagonists region live together in diverse communities, based on the pokemon mystery dungeon games. The story is set right before the theorized 'great war' occurs. Expect elements from both the mainstream games as well as elements from other pokemon franchises. Even elements from fan-made games may appear. Warning: This story uses a mix of xianxia elements and litrpg elements to flesh out the standard pokemon levelling system. Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon, or anything from the franchise, only my OC characters.

Cody is doing his best to survive high school, to live up to his father’s expectations and the Abbot name - he better grow up quick if he wants to be a Marine.

The more he tries to be like his father, the greater disappointment he faces. And now does he even want to be a Marine?

8 140Transmigrated as an NTR’ed protagonist.
WARNING!!! The mc of this novel is weak(mentally) and thus unlikable. The story also has a tag SLOW-PACE. Which means there won't be a lot of actions going on from the get-go.Erlig, a senior in a respectable college lived his whole life without knowing such a word as trouble. Stable life with no accidents, great parents, and a good friend. Gaming was his hobby.But when he tried a new game something happened to him.He was trapped in a new world as the protagonist of this game. The worst is that he was cuckolded, humiliated, and beaten down. Not knowing how this happened he now forced to live a different life.Those things, that looked like fiction in the game turned out to be much more real. He is forced to confront the dark and grimy world that looks much harsher than what he always saw. The only things that left in his changed world, is his meager knowledge of the game and his, own, self.Given such a miraculous opportunity, he is forcibly taken out from his bubble and placed between a choice.To break and fall or to forever change his fate, his life, and everything around him. A little description to give a better understanding of what this story is about. It's my vision on a fusion of Korean fighting manhwas and Korean r-18 romance manhwas with the protagonist that is not typical to those particular works.Author's note: As this is my first novel and English is not my native language any criticism would be appreciated. Release schedule: At least one chapter every week.I also post on Scribble Hub and Webnovel.
8 427The Bromance Scheme (boyxboy) (Editing)
I took a deep breath, it was my turn and I was already feeling uneasy about this game. I sat there waiting to hear my 'death sentence'."Justin I dare you to kiss Jason," Hannah said grinning. I went numb those six words echoed in my ears I froze. If I don't then they would know that the scheme we had for so long was fake and if I do I know it would change our friendship forever."Well go ahead we all know about the budding 'bromance' or romance shall I say between you two, we just want to see it ourselves," she continued that made no sense to me I wanted to curse her but it was as if my lips were stapled together. I looked around at everyone in the small circle the girls were grinning and blushing , the boys were smirking then I looked at Jason he had the same facial expression.I finally snapped back to reality when I realize she was pushing me towards him.... I took a deep breath and leaned forward....This is happening because of our little scheme and I guess our sins caught up with us now we have to face them.... I know this will change everything forever....All Rights Reserved-DarkOverlordKira Get your own Ideas ... ._. Copyright ©
