《Reaper's Grimoire》The Town Ch.7
Advertisement
After flying out the tower "window" I remember that I forgot to bring my favorite pet slime and quickly made a U turn in mid air flew back in. Once landed I started to for my favorite slime for some reason the slime around started to change in colors some red others brown and some even have colors like pink!
Hmmmm that was weird seems like this system is affecting the way I think or is it how I normally think? Need to look more in to this thing called the system or there might be unforeseen things happening to my mind...
Any way I decided to bring the pink slime with me because I like the color and it have some sort or repair ability that work on my body. After having the slime form around my body like a protective layer I flew out the window to the nearest settlement I found list on the map.
The map shows the settlement as a human settlement and one of the few that take in all races even "non-living" type like me. Though I'm not sure if the settlement is still the same or if it's gone completely as that is targeted spot for other kingdoms, empires, and even some churches.
But that is the closest known town that is not controlled by a king or like and that takes in non-living type like me so I finally decided to I'll scout the place first with a Golem before going in.
Finally seeing the highlight of a stone wall I flew down to the ground and landed in the forest near the human road and start to sneak towards the town.
Captain Mark's POV
I received notification form the town the elders that a unknown third stage being tripped the aerial and ground alarm system and are now approaching the town from the west side. Me and my team are to check the area and confirm whether the being is hostile or not if so we are to put it down.

Back in the barracks me and my team decided to go light with escape scrolls as it is a stage two being and we probably need all we can get to run away. I mean who sends only a small team of knight is definitely not enough to kill a stage two unknown beast unless we have a master level sniper on the team which we don't have.
Soon after we started to head to the west side of the town with trackers to hunt down the second stage beast. As we near the said beast we see the bush moving reflexively putting my hand on the escape scroll and is ready to teleport away if there is a split second of danger. Only to see a flash of pink run out a bush and disappeared the next second and then a giant flame hog soon followed.
Being a veteran I quickly gathered myself and my team and followed the flaming trees the flame hog left behind while leaving the fire to the nearby nymphs to put out the fire. While following the trail I ask if any of my teammate know what just happened one of them told me that a small pink thing with a human like shape ran passed us with a flame hog chasing it.
Cursing I started to ran through the trail faster, for a person to be wearing pink in the middle of a forest usually means that they are high ranked nobles and the last thing we need is more reasons for kingdoms to attacking us. Following the trail we found it ended near raven with a flame hog corpse in it... F#$%
Grimoire's POV
Well that was close I almost got killed by a flaming pig sheesh why did it chased my so far I only stabbed it on accident, great because of it now I'm lost. I been practicing golem craft with my slime turning it into many different size and shapes.

I would have flew up to check where the village is but it seem that the night snuck up on me while I was trying to use telepathy properly. On a side note the slime seem to glow in the night that's not good as predators will notice me if it keep on glow like this. Willing the slime to not glow anymore the light on me begin to dim as the slime start to become dimming finally become barely noticable.
Sun finally started to come up after hours of me playing with the slime trying to shape my slime into different shapes but it always falls back into a blob after I release the controls. Putting the urge to research more about the slimes I started to unfold my wings and with a jump and a flap of my wings send me several meters up in the air.
When finally nearing the limit of the height where my wings can take me I saw the village or should I says city? The village is too big to be called a village so I guess the village expanded into a city and by the undead walking in and out of the gate I guess it's still the same as the book says.
Flying down again I wrapped the wings around me again using it as a cloak with only my head exposed. Willing the slime next to I to walk with towards the town with the slime following suite.

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

Rekindle
My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.

Dust and Glory
A century after World War III left the planet a nuclear wasteland, earth is nearly unrecognizable. Alien ‘Benefactors’ have taken control of North America’s most populous cities and built indomitable walls around them, defending their inhabitants but trapping them under a totalitarian rule.

Alone and reeling from the effects of a previously sheltered life, her only ray of hope is Reza City, built upon the ruins of what used to be Phoenix, Arizona. True, the Benefactors have a strict ban on self-aware artificial intelligence in place, but that should only prove an issue if they realize she’s an AI. The real problem is what lurks outside the city: over a million square miles of harsh, unyielding desert. And slinking between the dunes and the fissures are the mutants, looking for an easy victim.
