《So I guess this is a Video Game World.》Chapter 10: The Queen
Advertisement
I don't even know what to think of her. How the fuck can she be the Queen? Only because she is powerful? That's doesn't make you able to govern! And I think here is the perfect exemple... How can she be qualified? Why?
Ugh...After all of this. She said something.
-Finally! Here comes the game of the nation!
What again? A stupid game? Sweet.
-Battle royal!
...The fuck?
-I choose 5 persons present here, and all of them will need to fight until K.O! The winner can visit the Palace at anytime and have the right to have an audience with me! Now let's choose the contestant!
And suddenly. It's like war happened. Literally EVERYONE wanted to take part in this game. Except me. Who have better things to do.
-And...You are choosen!
She pointed me... WHY ME?! I was leaving!
Quest Received!:Win the Battle Royal
Reward:Great amount of Experience and the "Friend Menu"
...Oh. Now that's different. And the quest indicate that's a great amount of Experience. So chances that I will level up more than once.
-And... You! You! You! And finally you!
All of the person she pointed was of an higher level than me... Why?! They were all experienced Adventurers of level 50 or more! I have no chances of winning!
Soon enough, we we're all at the center of the attention. We all walked to the middle. Where there is still the crater.
-Oh.Special rule for this one.If anyone fall in the crater, you lose.Understood?
-Yes, my queen!
-Uh...Yes?
They all said it at the same time. Me, I was lost.
Soo after that, the match began, I stood where I was. Because...They all rushed after themselves.And so after that. The most epic fail I've ever seen.

BONK
They all collided. All facing the recoil of the attack, and all falling in the crater... Luigi would be proud of me.
Quest Completed!...I think?
1 Experience point Received.And a F for Friend Menu unlocked.
Hey! My experience you bastard! You said great amount!
That was hardly a fight.You don't deserve it.
Oh come on man! At least a level !...No i guess. Even the queen have a face who summarized the situation. "What the hell did I just watched". But right after that, she said in a perplexed voice.
-And...The winner is...
And soon enough she approached me and whispered me:
-What is your name?
-...Vakfu.
-That's a really weird name...But I've seen worse.
Yeah. Poor Billy again.
-So, The winner is...VAKFU!
...Nobody applauded. I don't blame them. I wouldn't either.
-...Yay ...Now come with me. I made a promise, I will make you visit the Palace.
Soon after that, we departed for the Castle... Ugh. At least... I have the friend menu now I guess?
So we visited the palace. It was unnecessary huge and there was gold everywhere. There was a hallway entirely made of gold. Just how much gold have been used to make this castle?
-And...There it is! The throne room.
Again. Gold and red everywhere. My eyes were hurting of all of this gold dammit!
-So...Do you have anything to tell me? A request? You can enjoy the time passed with me you know!
For some reason, she seemed under stress.
-...Are you okay? Ne...Your majesty?
-Nell! Yes! Call me Nell!
And she seemed socially awkward. No. That can't be that. She seemed perfectly fine with all of the people watching her earlier.
-So...Nell it is. Are you okay? Cause you don't seem to.

-...Of ...Course I am! I am the Queen or I am not!
-That's not really a reason.
-...Yes. You're right. It's just that... Living in this castle... Alone... All the paperworks... That's a lot to endure for just one person you know?
-Yeah... I guess it's complicated. Especially if you didn't have experience about it earlier in your life.
-Also that... You must know that I am Immortal right? Imprisonned in this child body since a long time ago...
-Uh... Yes...
I didn't know. How would I know? Am I the only one who's didn't get the memo?
-Then... If you could pass from time to time, I would appreciate it.
-Uh, ok. But why me and not any of the last winners of the Battle royal? It make more sense that it would be them.
-That's a stupid reason but...I prefer that it is a monster. Like me. And no monsters won the Battle before. Even if you didn't do anything to win...
It is indeed a stupid reason. But by pity, I still accepted. But I still hope that I will gain something in this story someday... Wait and see I guess.
-So...Let me add you to my friend list.
-Uh?
-Friend menu.
A menu appeared in my eye, I found the friend list with Hoshi already added for some reason. I sent an Invitation to Nell.
-Ehh?I've already seen some magic like this before...Some weird guy named Aevy.
-Really?
-Yes.I don't know where he is though.
Now that's interesting. There are chances that it is someone transported into this world like me! I've also sent him some invitation. Since I only needed to know the name of the person and it seemed that the system knows which person I was referring to. It was perfect.
After some time, he seemed to accept the invitation! Yes!He also sent a message to me via the Friend menu, cause yes it also comes with a message system. How convenient.
[Yo. I guess you are another guy who was transported into this world right? Finally! How did you found me?]
[Thanks to Nell. The Queen of Angeluna.]
[Oh. Her. Yes she is weird but nice when you get to know her. So, meet me at the adventurer guild of Angeluna in two weeks.The time that I come here.]
[That's a rendez-vous.]
And good news! Yes! Finally my luck is changing side!

8 287I'm a Veteran Adventurer in a World without Healing Magic.
It's a fantasy world just like any other, orcs, elves, monsters, adventurer's guilds... Just one catch, though: there's no such thing as healing magic. Get a nasty wound from the monster you're fighting? There's nothing to patch you up, not so much as a red potion or a cure light wounds spell! All you can rely on are mundane medical procedures to help you get back on your feet. And those don't come cheap! You can probably guess that injuries that in other worlds would be minor are rather costly in one where the priest class doesn't exist. What kind of dungeoneering community springs up in an atmosphere where a simple cut can mean lethal infection? How do dungeon crawlers find workarounds when conventional combat proves too dangerous? A veteran warrior who senses his time is near puts to pen a final record, a shocking tell-all about his adventuring career...
8 141Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.

8 69Letters from Shanti Ashram, India
I lived in India from 1984-2005, and wrote to my parents regularly about my adventures in Indian ashrams. From 1984-1993 and again 2001-2005, I was living in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, and I am adding all of those my "Letters from India" book, which will mainly be of interest to those familiar with Prasanthi Nilayam, the ashram of Sri Sathya Sai Baba.However, from 1994-2001 I was staying at a wonderfully spiritual, quiet retreat called Shanti Ashram, and I am putting the letters I wrote to my parents while staying there, on this book. The ashram was a dream come true for sadhana. The people are welcoming, it is usually never crowded, and they offer separate cottages to aspirants. The rates are donation basis only. You can contact them for a visit or longer-term stay:Sri Shanti AshramThotapalli HillsVia SankhavaramEast Godavari DistAndhra Pradesh, India 533446Phone: 011-91-7382009962
