《New Roads》Chapter: 1.25

Week 2:
Pete and Jack sighed expressively. Since learning about the gift of Accessors they were about to receive, the two had been trying to find tidbits of information about what was coming. But as usual the Koreans knew how to keep a tight lip. Eventually Jack had given up and resigned himself to study for finals.
Now the two boys were in Jack’s room, Jack at his desk studying and Pete reclining in his beanbag and still trying to dig up more information. Pete continued to scroll through forums until he suddenly stiffened.
“Jack!”
“……….”
“jaaaacckkk”
“……….”
“JACK!”
“Dude what the hell do you want! I’m trying to study!”
“Look at this!”
Jack whirled around in his office chair and grabbed Pete’s laptop. The page on the screen was from a business website. The header read: RUMOR CONFIRMED! HAPTIX AND UNICORN MERGER CONFIRMED. Jack was silent for a moment.
“What the fuck!”
“I know right?”
“I thought Unicorn was just expanding the range of platforms. But this… it’s almost like they’re trying to become the Google of games!”
“That’s kind of scary when you think about it.”
“Yeah…”
“Doesn’t Uncle Albert own shares in both?”
“I know what you’re thinking, but we can’t. He probably isn’t allowed to reveal whatever he knows.”
“Fine.”
Pete looked a little disgruntled but left it at that. Jack tried to go back to studying, but he was all amped up now because of the news.
“Finals start for you next week, don’t they.”
“Yeah….”
“Good luck.”
Pete had a little mischievous smile on his face as he left Jack’s room. Jack pounded his head into the desk; there was no way he could concentrate.

It was Wednesday now. The three siblings were sitting around the TV again. They were refreshing the page for Amazon’s online store from the TV. On Monday an E-book of the new Royal Road had been released. By nighttime, the Amazon site had crashed due to the high volume of customers. Similar events occurred to similar sites as well. It was announced that on Wednesday the site would be back online. That was how the three of them were spending their springtime afternoon, refreshing one page so they could buy and download the guide.

They would’ve stayed like that if their father hadn’t come up stairs to threaten them with cleaning the entire house if they didn’t go out and do something. While their parents gave them a lot of leeway, they were pretty adamant about their kids getting plenty of sunshine.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It wasn’t until Friday that they were finally able to download the book. They were just about to begin devouring its contents when Jack’s phone started ringing. The caller was his friend.
“What’s up Matt?”
“Dude! They’re announcing the contribution awards today for the Final Adventure!”
“Seriously!?”
“Yeah! The break down is on Unicorn’s website!”
“Alright I’ll check.”
Jack grabbed the TV controller from the couch and switched the page from the newly downloaded E-book to Unicorn’s main page.
There on the front, was the break down.
No Participation – 2% EXP boost
Participated/ died – 5%-20% EXP boost
Participated/disconnected – 8%-25% EXP boost
Top 100 – 40% EXP boost + owned item
Final 5 – 50% EXP boost + owned item + special ability
All boosts last 1 month
There was a link for more information but Jack understood the gist of it. People that were forced to log off got a higher boost because it was assumed they would’ve lasted longer. A prized item from their former character would be advantageous for game start and seemed fitting. But what he didn’t get was the special ability, he had already assumed Weed was exempted from this list. It would likely be something that could change the battlefield, it almost seemed a little unfair but then again the final 5 had done something amazing to get there. He tossed the controller on the couch and left for his room.

Old Version - The First Magician
INDEFINITE HIATUS I always seem to make these too long when I ask for peoples opinions so I’m not gonna try an exciting description anymore but instead just give you an idea of what to expect. First off, this is my 2nd attempt at a story but my foundation for this one is much better than the 1st already and I see this going much further and so far its coming together much faster and easier. So please excuse me if things are not up to publishing standards. Also I tend to confuse your, you’re and so on so sorry to people that triggers ahead of time. The First Magician follows the story of 15 year old Alex in a post apocalyptic rpg-ish world in the near future. Earth was transformed, monsters appeared and people began being able to use Ki but could not figure out how to use magic. Alex ends up becoming the first human able to use magic through a series of events and sets in motion events that will change the very future of the human race. He will be somewhat OP simply because he is the only human (at least to start, who knows about later?) who is able to use mana. Many classic RPG elements have been removed. I didn’t want the story to be like all of the other lit rpg stories on RRL but it also makes the writing easier for me hence the watering down of rpg elements. UPDATES: I am doing this to relieve stress and for fun so I will release chapters when I can. So far though ive managed to keep up with 2 most days. CONTENT WARNINGS: There will be some light language but it won't be insane. I might have some gore later on but am unsure and the same for the sexual content. Sexual content isn't super likely as I doubt I can write it well but I put the tag so people cant yell about it if I add some in the future but forgot to add the tag. COVER ART: Yes it is from the anime Log Horizon. It is a good representation of what earth looks like despite it not being many years in the future. DISCORD: https://discord.gg/s6V3hGV

Mana World - Convergence
The story is complete it was a prototype and it is BAD.I do not recommend reading it, I will not edit it in any form, it is still here as a personal remained of how bad I was at the start. Mages are soo cool but without mana you can't become a mage. Well let's see how we can get mana to this world. I'm sure it would be a perfectly safe and excellent idea. First try at writing something like this. Dunno if I will update constantly or not, dunno what will happen with the story and the characters. Recipe: 3 cubic meters of science, 5 shit tons of pseudo science, 2 dantians of mistycism,1/2 cup of stupid references, 1 package of sarcasm, 1/400 tolkien epicness, 1 tea spoon of stupid commentaries, a pinch of craziness and dressed with randomness, uppps, too much randomness. Accepting all kinds of constructive criticism. Well prologue is finished.
