《Building an army in another world》Chapter 6 – Guild
Advertisement
Following Wolfram, we go down a set of stairs onto one of the main roads. Walking down the road I look around amazed at my surroundings. There are mostly shops at market stands with the occasional inn. All the buildings are the colour of sandstone but it is also extremely colourful, all the market stands are multicoloured everyone clothes have at least two colours. Everything is so vibrant and colourful.
Everyone looks like they are also sand elves, they are mostly tall, have dark skin with sand coloured hair their eye colour seems to be mostly the normal colours plus a few have sand coloured eyes.
These sand elves lives revolve around sand. Everything is made of sand and almost everything is sand coloured. This must be why everything not made of sand is so colourful.
While walking through the town I realise looking at the shop signs that I can’t read this language. That will be something I have to learn.
“What language are these signs written in?”
“There written in Ovarhi it's also the language we are speaking.”
Are we not speaking English. How do I know another language I have never heard before? Might be the whole in a different world thing.
After about ten minutes of walking Wolfram stops outside what looks like an inn. Stopping next to him he tells me.
“This is the Guild here you can get jobs ranging from gathering materials to fighting monsters. This is also where you go if you want to run a business and most craftsmen join for financial and political support.”
Is this like an adventurers guild? But it seems to also work as a workers union or at least similar.
Walking inside behind Wolfram there is a large room filled mostly with tables with people sitting around them in armour and carrying weapons. The reception desk has space for four receptionists there are currently two working a male sand elf and is that a girl with fox ears?

“Sir Wolfram your back.”
The fox girl shouted to wolfram.
“I'm back Ayako.”
Walking closer to the fox girl who seems to be called Ayako I can see she is wearing what looks to be a colourful kimono. She has white skin with blue eyes and white hair.
“Who's this I haven't seen her before is she a vampire?”(A)
“She’s Eirisse a vampire royal.”(W)
“Eeh your a vampire royal should I call you your highness or your majesty?”(A)
“Just call me Eirisse it’s not like I'm a real royal I don’t have a country or anything at least not yet.”(E)
“Yet? Does that mean you plan on forming your own country?”(A)
“I might I don’t know yet. I don’t know how I would though.”(E)
“If you do can I go with you? I have always wanted to go on a heroic journey and this could be one.”(A)
“I don’t know why you can’t.”(E)
“yay!”
She is very happy about something that will likely not come true.
“Is there anything you needed?”(A)
“She needs somewhere to stay even if temporary.”(W)
“I understand I will prepare her a room immediately.”(A)
Standing up she walks through a door to my right. That must be where the rooms are. Looking to my left is another door with a sign I can’t read.
“That's where the offices and consultation rooms are.”
Wolfram explains seeing me looking at the door.
“The consultation rooms are mostly used by craftsmen who need legal or financial help.”
So that is where the trade union like part happens.
“Your room is ready.”
Ayako shouted to us.
Walking over to where Ayako is I can see through the door is a corridor with doors on both sides.

Following behind her after saying goodbye to Wolfram who has other work to do, I can see her white tail the air around her is also quite cold. What is she?
“Ayako if you don’t mind me asking what are you?”(E)
“I don’t mind my kind are rather rare around here. I am a type of Lisica who look human but have fox ears and tail. More specifically I am an artic Lisica we live mostly in cold and snowy regions.”(A)
“If your kind live in cold regions what are you doing in a desert?”(E)
“I have lived here my entire life. My parents were adventurers and they arrived here when I was born and stayed here since. I use magic my parents taught me to cool down the air around me.”(A)
As she says this she stops outside a door.
“This is your room.”
“Thank you.”
Opening the door and walking inside it is a simple room with a bathroom to the immediate left, a bed in the right corner, a desk in the left corner with a wardrobe next to it with a mirror.
This is going to be my home for now.
Walking over to the mirror I look at my new appearance.

The Perks of Immortality
This story will no longer be updated. After living decades and dying hundreds of times, Kegan has learned that he has finally passed some test that the cruel spirit had given him. Now, Kegan has the ability to gain “perks” that can make his life much easier. He is looking forward to finally having an easy life with the new perks he has earned. Rules to keep me honest for the perk system: Spoiler: Spoiler 1. The purpose of perks is to help the MC live longer and do new things each life. 2. The perks can be unlocked by getting hurt or killed. 3. The perks can be unlocked by putting in a lot of effort that isn’t easily duplicated in a new life. 4. Perks are generally beneficial enhancements to the MC’s body. 5. Perk costs can be lowered with more impressive achievements to unlock them. 6. Perk costs can be lowered by repeated death or injury from something the perk protects against. 7. Perk costs are increased for quality of life improvements that don’t benefit survival. I want to avoid one of the pitfalls I see for other LitRPG stories where the game elements barely relate to the story, or offer very little information. If people are skipping over and not reading the perks then I'm doing things wrong. So I promise to try and make the perks interesting, sometimes humorous, informative, and relevant to the story.Cover art by http://dertypaws.com/

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

Threads
A legendary landmass long since believed lost to the world reappears in the seas of the island nation of Annitou, setting off a frantic race by the surrounding governments to acquire its allegedly powerful secrets. From every corner of the map comes settlers, merchants, pirates, and the strongest enforcers of each country's sovereignty: the Agents, individuals with unique, sometimes seemingly divine talents which can rival the power of even an army. However on the lawless frontier of the newly rediscovered island of Jinchi, national loyalties and personal ambition are put to the real test. Threads follows the interconnected stories of individuals from all strata of this world, from the lowly in-training cadets, to the mighty and seemingly invincible generals, to the otherwise innocuous and 'powerless' civilians. Each person holds a piece of the puzzle- but nobody can say how it will ultimately be put together.
