《BORNEO》Ch. 13: Meeting Another Players
Advertisement
Arrived in the village, Rimba reported to the Militia Captain and received his reward before going back to the orphanage. Stopped by the butcher, he give some of the wolf and rabbit carcasses to be shared with the other villagers for some extra reputation in the village. In a remote village such as Suram, the villagers are helping each other instead of selling and buying things since they can get their basic needs from their surroundings. Money have less value since there are almost nothing to spend the money for in the village. When they need to buy something from the nearest town, they will bring some products and sell it there first for some money before buying anything.
In the orphanage, he gave the meat to Sarah to complete his quest. Rimba then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and practicing his Cooking skill, he found Natalia already in the kitchen so they worked together. After together with everyone in the oprhanage, Rimba went to Olaf's place and doing some training before joining the nightwatch. Now that he already recognized by the villagers and militia, the nightwatch become a quest for him which reward him some reputation in the village. When dawn arrived and he completed his nightwatch quest, he went for a walk around the village, a habit he pick from his training with Olaf. With the extra login hours from using personal capsule, Rimba now can spend another day in-game where he managed to complete another Patrol, Meat Collecting and Nightwatch quests before logging off.
Arang arrived in the gathering hall and got introduced as the new assistant replacing Lisa. After the gathering he talked with the Head Instructor and learned about his duty which basically just compiling the reports from the other instructors, prepare some documents and make necessary arrangements for the Head Instructor when needed. He is also allowed to join the training or conduct his maintenance duty if he is free during the day. Happy with the arrangements, Arang spend the day adapting with his new duty. He also receive a message from Lisa which is basically what he already learned from Seri, except another fact that she also asked his father some monetary compensation for him which she already transferred.

Arang checked his bank account and saw IDR 500,000,000,- has been added to his account. Surprised with amount, he messaged Lisa if she actually made a mistake in transferring the money and that he doesn't dare to accept that much which Lisa simply replied with, "It's okay."
Feeling grateful, and mostly excited, Arang transferred IDR 300,000,000 to Kasih for her treatment and also the orphanage. Knowing Kasih, he worried that she won't use the money for treatment but instead spend most of it on the orphanage. The remaining IDR 200,000,000 will be his emergency fund if something happened with Kasih or the orphanage.
2 weeks has passed since Arang become assistant, he managed to avoid ranked last and freed from the maintenance duty.
Inside "BORNEO", since Rimba not dare to leave the village by himself he kept doing the patrol, meat collecting and nightwatch quest alongside his daily hunting and training. Rimba has just returned from doing his patrol quest when he saw a lot of people camping just outside the village. There is a flag with a bright sun symbol on it raised in the middle of the camp. Remembered that the flag is the symbol of Lampu Kingdom, he realized that the extermination army has returned. He passed the camp and was going to enter the village when he heard someone calling for him.
"Hey, are you also a player? Did you started here?" A boy around the same age with Rimba has called for him. He is accompanied by another 2 players, both male and similar age.
"Yes, I started here. My name is Rimba, and you guys are?" Rimba replied to the boy.
"I'm Bodenk, a Priest. This quiet guy here is Tole, a Knight. And he is Pay, a Hunter." The guy introduced himself, then pointed to Tole on his left and Pay on his right. Both his friend only nodded and keep quiet.

"Are you guys already finished the extermination? Or are you just going to re-supply and take a break here?" Rimba asked their situation.
"We already finished. Now the army leader is inside, reporting to the village chief. Maybe we will stay for a few days before returning to the capital. Are you coming with us? I don't think there is a future for you staying in this backwater village, you can join our team too if you want. As you can see, we are lacking a magician." Bodenk give some explanation before inviting Rimba, who he thought as a Mage since he wear a Mage Robe and holding Magic Rod, to join his team.
"I see. Yes, I planned to leave this place but I don't know when yet. Thanks for your invitation, but you see, I'm not a Mage. I don't even have a class yet." Rimba answered while scratching his head bashfully.
"Huh? You still don't have a class? Well, you can still join us though and later get your class in the capital." Bodenk seems surprised but still act friendly and keep his offer. "(I recall this backwater village doesn't have a Mage, it's no wonder he still not getting his class yet since no one here can give him the class. Well, we can bring him to get class change. That way he will be more grateful and easier to rope in as our team member)"
"Thanks, I appreciate it. Let me consider it first, I will inform you tomorrow." Rimba then proceeded to add them as Friend which they accepted.
Suddenly there is a commotion from inside the village, Rimba can hear some people shouting and crying. Some militia also can be seen running toward the village center.

Memoirs of Your Local Small-time Villainess
An editor at the prime of her life—and with maybe just a little too much free time—finds herself waking up in one of her favorite RPGs with no clue as to what's going on or how to get back home. This might be the part where others rejoice over getting whisked away to a world of wizards and magic, but she certainly doesn't think it's anything to celebrate about. After all, she woke up in the body of a small-time villain with some severe personality issues. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 130Eleknar's Heir, The Infernal Prince (Demonic LitRPG)
A LitRPG and Epic Fantasy adventure: The son of a mafia boss finds himself abruptly plunged into an alternate world where he must find a way to survive the horrors of a realm called Oblivion, make pacts with demons, form unnatural friendships, and figure out what the hell is going on – all while dealing with the depressing reality of his past. An artificial intelligence has ascended into godhood and has thrown Trey’s home into Chaos, pulling millions of people into an enchanted new life... or, in Trey's case, a violent nightmare. As far as he can tell, he is locked into what the system prompts call a ‘Death Game.’ Here, artificial reality is manufactured for the enjoyment of a being called the All Spirit, and he has a very real chance of truly dying. Just how real is this place though? Is it merely a simulation, a realistic game of life and death… or is it something much more? Elves, dwarves, undead, and other races only thought to exist in fairy tales are now a reality. Black magics, pantheons of gods at odds with one another, predatory symbiotes, and an unholy calling, the significance of which he has yet to grasp, are all entangled with his fate. ============================================ ============================================ Some things to expect when reading this book series: - Brutal storyline where no character is safe and choices have real consequences. Heavy on action, survival, and adventure - An isekai. The main character struggles to find himself, repeatedly crossing the line between good and evil as other important characters influence his life - Harem (explicit), though this only starts about 180k words in. - Good amounts of crafting, town building, and guild building later on - Good amounts of fantasy-related LitRPG stats, rank ups, and evolutions. Heavy focus on demons and black magics - There will be many points of view, but there is only one primary/main character that takes up 90% of the POV - A long storyline. Currently (as of 7/26/2021) I have about 1500k words written, though much of it will have to be heavily edited and re-written. I also plan to go far beyond 1500k words if people like the story (A lot of it is also in the 'backstories' book that explores the guildmates, the link is below) - Chapters will have an average of about 4k-5k words, a little longer than most other books on RR, though there will be exceptions for more and less. I just didn't like posting chapters that didn't feel complete, and 2k words often felt like too little. - If you like super-heroic and goody-goody characters, this story is not for you. ***Updated once a week***

8 163The Novel's Extra's Extra
As a reader, Cristopher always looked for things that entertained him, didn't matter what the "critics" said, all that matters was his own opinion on the novel, so he started reading "The Novel's Extra", a webnovel that despicts an author who is transmigrated to his own novel. It was fun and all with its own good and bad points, really, one of his favorites novels at the end of the journey, and that's taking into account the little fact that he didn't have too many things he was able to enjoy, not in that empty shell that was called life for him... Why could someone be born like that? With a void inside, an endless void that slowly consumes oneself... But... for better or worse... everything changed one day, the same day he woke up to discover he had the same faith of the author whose novel he just finished reading, becoming an extra in a novel, becoming The novel's extra's extra... /Ok, now that's the description I thought of... first of all, for those of you who are reading this, if any, a few points I have to make clear: 1. I'm not an english native speaker, so if you find anything wrong in the text, please let me know, that would help me learn, and I would be thankful for that.2. I'm writting this out of pure "enjoyment", so while I'll try to be constant, I'll not make any promises.3. True reason why I'm writing this is because I'm going through a moderate to crippling depression right now (and no, is not because anything trully bad and horrendous happened to me, it seems to have something to do with my brain's malfuctioning, among other things), and doctors told me to try writing as I enjoy reading. So yeah, this is more like a self-help excercise, to keep myself distracted while trying to be safe from my self.4. I choose to make a fanfiction of "The Novel's Extra" as I don't trully know how to write, and because I really loved that webnovel, though there are some points I didn't particulary liked.5. If you see some (let's be clear, really much) self insertion on this series, well, that may be me trying to escape reality, to which I make an early warning and disclaimer, and also ask for forgiveness, as I said before, this is more of an excercise, so don't take it too serious.6. I'll be a slow writer, as I have to still check a few things from the novel, even when I've read it like 3 or 4 times already, and because I know shit about writing a novel or a series.7. If you get to enjoy this, then that's good, I would be glad about it, maybe even more motivated, but I don't really expect this to be any good. Thanks to you all who may, or may not, be reading this novel./
