《The Tale of A Fortunate Slave》A Meeting With The Queen
Advertisement
No POV
After the trio had their breakfast they broke up as they all had something to do.
Ash was walking down the hall when familiar blue Fay joined her.
"You look different. Did you do something with your hair?" Luna asked. "NO! Wait, let-me-guess. You dyed it?" The author has added -'s so you can read better. Your welcome. And no this is not an edit this is part of the original draft.
I signed to the Fay. The Fay closed her mouth, causing Ash to laugh.
The pair talked for a bit when Luna collided with someone.
"Oh." This older Inu said not as an insult as it was in a playful manner. "You really are clumsy, young Fay."
"I'm sorry Mister Yamato." The one foot tall Fay apologized to the at least eight foot tall Great-Dane that is the Inu. "I was talking with Ash here so I wasn't looking in front of me."
"Oh and who might this 'Ash' be?" He said as he looked Ash in the eyes and Ash looked back. "Are you Ash? I am Yamato Hiroto."
She signed as she gave the traditional bow and greeting of the Inu culture.
"What do you mean by 'two clans', Ash?" The nearby Fay asked. "Or is that to personal of a question?"
Ash explained.
"Oh. I guess that you've been through a lot in your short time here, Ash of two clans." The old man spoke in a deep voice due to his height. "And yet so have I as I have both lost and gained so much and yet so little as the same time.'
The Fay was confused at his wise old words but the Kitsune was not.
Ash spoke and from the look on Luna's face she had guessed correctly. She bowed with resect this time.
"How did you guess his title already?!" The confused Luna beamed.
She signed, ignoring the flabbergasted Fay that had her mouth as open as it could be.
"You did very well young Kitsune." The old man spoke, also ignoring the Fay. "And as for your question? Of course! It is Queens Servant, is it not?"

Ash signed.
At that point they had reached the meeting room. Ash opened the door and gestured for the old man to enter.
"You could tell that we had the same destitution?" Yamato Hiroto said. "That is a first. Well done! Don't tell the Queen but I'll give you some candy once we're done with the meeting." He walked in and Ash followed leaving the Fay in the hall.
Unnecessary LINE? I have no idea but I'm putting one here anyway and you can't stop me. Muhahaha!
"Oh, Ash! I see you have already meet Mr. Yamato." The Queen said as the two entered and Ash bowed. "It is good to see the two of you."
"She got an 'A' on my little test." The old Inu said before the Queen could continue. "And she opened the door for me."
To say the Queen was surprised would be an understatement. "I knew she was smart but not that smart! No offense. What is your Intelligence score? If you don't mind me asking."
The child answers. A child just made the Queen's AND her Head-Adviser's mouth drop wide open. If their mouths could open any more than they could open they would reach the floor cartoon style.
"I've been around for a hundred and thirty years and you're the highest Level person I've seen at your age in all of that time!" The Queen was Level 87 herself. "What did they put you on?!" Ash took that as a rhetorical question. Which it was... mostly.
"And while I can't say the same as our Queen only being sixty-eight myself, I still agree with her." The old Inu said.
Ash did not want to play this game at the moment.
"Oh. Good point, just let us regain our composure." The Queen said in a rare display of sarcasm. "Just let me have my breakdown first."
After that they got to the actual topic of discussion. What to do with Ash, especially after yesterday. They had talked for a good thirty or so minutes when the Queen said.
"On the topic of yesterday, I thought it would be nice if Lucy had a personal-bodyguard and I thought that I should give the position to someone who deserves it. Like maybe the person who saved her life?" She teased even if that person was obvious. "And I just don't know who to give it to. Do you know Mr. Yamato?"

Catching on, Yamato said. "No I rely don't, my Queen. But wouldn't it be nice if their room was close to the Princess and could help her like a servant?"
Ash just stared and let then have their fun, she could tell the Queen needed it.
"Yes! That would be wonderful! What a nice idea Mr. Yamato!" The Queen said in the kind of that your thinking of right now. "But there is only one person I know who fits the bill. And that would be you Mr. Yamato." She teased further.
"But I can't do that I'm your adviser!" The man said. "Don't you know any one else?"
Ash coughed while trying hold in her laughter at the grown adults acting like children.
"OF COURSE! I have the answer to our conundrum!" The Queen yelled. "What about you, Ash? Will you do it? Pwedy pwese for me?"
That was the straw that broke the camels back as Ash broke into laughter, she was soon followed by the other two.
"That was the best thing I have done in years. Thank you, Ash, for letting me do something so childish." The Queen said once they had calmed down. "And I'm sure that thanks goes for Mr. Yamato as well."
"You are correct in that I wish to thank Ash as well.' Yamato said as he pulled a bag of candy from his pocket and gave Ash a few pieces of caramel. "You are the smartest nine-year-old I have ever met. Not just in stats either."
Ash bowed to the two of them. She bowed again to the Queen.
"Very well." The Queen went back into Queen-mode. "You are dismissed."
As soon as she said 'dismissed' both Ash and Yamato popped some caramel onto their mouths.
The younger of the two signed.
"So you can steal all my caramel?" The Inu held his bag of candy to is chest. "I think not!"
Ash challenged.
The Queen just laughed. "You should get your selves to bed, it's almost eight." Ash left after signing
LINE 2.0 (its better then the first trust me)
As Ash was walking down the hall she met up with Lucy. The two of them walked and talked. When they reached the hall that had their rooms in it Ash gave a sigh.
"Is some thing the matter?" Lucy asked. "Is there anything you need help with?"
Ash signed.
"Rely? Do you know who it is?" The Princess asked.
"Me." Ash said before picking up in speed as the princess froze at her voice. And that wasn't a typo.
"Wait! ASH GET BACK HERE!" She called out. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT."
Ash ran into her room laughing. And so did Lucy.
One moment Ash was standing the next she was pinned to the ground.
"Don't SAY something and then run from me!" Lucy said holding Ash's arms to the wall. "Now repeat what you said."
"me" Ash whispered in malicious-compliance. She did repeat it after all, she just did it very quietly.
"Ash speak up, I can't hear you." Lucy said as if she was a mom criticizing her child.
"Me." Ash did so properly this time. "Now can you get off me?"
"Yes." Lucy got up, brushing her hair out of the way. "Why did you do that anyway?"
Ash was cut off by Lucy as she grabbed her hands.
"No. I want you to TELL me." The one that grabbed her hands said.
"Cause it was funny." Ash spoke. "And by the way I'm your personal-bodyguard now and thus your personal-maid as well."
"Ok. That was all you needed to do." Lucy said as she made her way to her room. She did not let Ash see her blush. Why is everything about her so cute?! She thought to her self as she made it to bed.

Underland
Once, the sun shone brightly on Azlant. Until came the Whitemoon, to steal mankind's light and condemn it to eternal darkness. Valdemar Verney is a sorcerer with a dream: to find a new world for his people to settle, one where the sky isn't a ceiling made of stone. But in the underground empire of Azlant, dissent is never tolerated. Brought before one of the undead Dark Lords, Valdemar is offered a choice he cannot refuse. Meanwhile, the swordswoman Marianne Reynard is given a mission: to investigate a dead cult with a few mysteries left to unravel. Both are looking for the truth, though they might regret finding it; for many cultists, monsters, and cosmic horrors stand in their way. They'll just have to kill them all. Cover by Vitaly S. Alexius.

An idea is fielded, create Emerilia, a world of magic, Dwarves, Elves and fantasy characters. They can grow cycles of human Players, conditioned in a simulation of Earth to make them want to play Emerilia. The humans were a mighty foe for the Jukal Empire, but with their inhibitions gone and the morality of a game never in question, they can hold back the tide of the Aggressive species while calling it fun. What's the best way to control slaves? Make them think that they're free.
8 317The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Have you ever wondered how your life might have turned out differently had you made different choices or decisions along the way? Sometimes, life does give you a second chance. However, it is you who decide whether that second opportunity counts… This novel revolves around our main character, Chen Murong, who can accidentally go back in time even before the apocalypse period begins to change everything humankind has done. We will follow our MC and see how he and his family react to this second chance to ensure their family and the human race's survival. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current release schedule: 1 Chapter/week on Saturday + extra if I have more time on the weekday If you like my writing, please consider tipping/supporting me on: PayPal: paypal.me/AmateurAuthorPen Patreon: patreon.com/singlehamster I plan to have advanced chapters on Patreon in the future for you to read as well.

I hope to see you guys there! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full background: The story situates in a universe called Gondola, where countless races from numerous worlds and realities are poured in. Our MC's original world, Blue planet (similar to Earth), went through an apocalypse period for ten years and has been pulled through this universe by mysterious force as one of the human race worlds. Unfortunately, the human race is one of the weakest and most feeble races of all Gondola races. However, their sheer number and several allies have helped them escape extinction so far. Regrettably, even though there are many ants, given a sufficient amount of time, the elephant will eventually be able to destroy them all. After 50 years of pointless struggle, almost all of the last remaining humans have been hunted down by some of the strongest undead races of the Gondola, the Skeletons, the Vampires, the Werewolves, and the Demons. The few remaining humans have been found and eradicated. Our MC, Chen Murong, a member of the last humanity group, can escape the hunt from undead races for fifty years. He finally dies under the claw of Lucifer, one of the emperor-rank demons from the undead race. However, he activates one of his time magic spells with his most precious space gemstone at the moment of his last breath. Through the spell, he wakes up alive, back in his home world, and returns to the year before the apocalypse period began.

8.09 116Rise of the Weakest Summoner
One fateful day, a caravan was passing by the village of Teira, which had been raided and set ablaze by bandits. Within the burning rubble, a young woman found a baby, a sole survivor of the attack, and decided to take it with her and raise as her own. As she was leaving with the little child in her hands, two falling stars lit up the night sky, and she named the boy Asterios. Years passed and he grew up in a caring and warm home, developing a passion for all magical beasts, choosing the path of a Summoner as his way of life. While his love and knowledge also grew boundless, his practical abilities clearly pointed out his complete lack of compatibility with that school of magic, but he never wavered in his resolution. Follow Asterios as his life of perpetual failure and bullying suddenly takes an unexpected turn, after just seconds short of his death, a powerful summon answers his call and saves his life. Wait... doesn't it look like... A GIRL?! Are those animal ears and tail?! ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ Release schedule: Two times a week is the goal. Most likely Tuesday and Friday. What to expect:A quite chill fantasy adventure with an MC devoted to summoning magic and fantasy beasts, slowly getting rid of his title of the Weakest Summoner (sudden strength gain but with progressive development), lots of exploring, magic, encounters, lots of character development, quite some fluff and feel-goods and perhaps a lovely harem of Monster Girls (not too many). It's a quite light story.
