Feng Wu the Robber
The nice-looking teenager had been reciting a poem about how the girl was so beautiful she was beyond description.
However, the next moment, that genteel girl who looked softer and slimmer than a willow branch…
She jumped up, kicked him out of the saddle, and robbed him of his horse.
Not only that, she also tossed a spiritual stone onto his chest as if she was sending a beggar away. “I’ll take it!”
After that, with a clatter of hooves —
The girl disappeared into the distance with the horse.
The teenager was speechless.
He was the son of an emperor, for Christ’s sake! Spirit stones were the least of his concern!
Feng Wu had no idea that she had just forced her offer on a royal prince… All she could think of was getting to Imperial College ASAP!
The exam, the exam, the exam…
Feng Wu was worried sick!
After all the hard work and all the books she had read and recited, if her chance was ruined because she was late to the exam… she didn’t think she would be able to take it.
“Hya — faster, faster, faster —”
Blood rumbled in Feng Wu’s ears and the wind grazed her cheeks like blades.
All she could think of now was whether she could still go in when she arrived late.
Chaoge should have gone in already, right?
While Jun Linyuan was giving Feng Wu a hard time, Yu Mingye had a rough night as well.
He spent the whole night shivering on Imperial Capital Tower, jumping at every little noise.
A wolf howled in the middle of the night and he thought it was Jun Linyuan coming. He almost jumped off the tower in fright.
In the end, he was so cold that he had to catch the wolf, skin it, and turn it into a stew. However, he ate until the day broke and Jun Linyuan still didn’t show up…

Feng Wu rode the horse as fast as she could and it still took her two hours to get to town.
By then, Feng Wu almost had a nervous breakdown.
It was a two-hour ride, which meant that it was eleven o’clock already… The exam would have finished by now.
Feng Wu heaved a long sigh, but she wouldn’t give up just yet and still rushed to Imperial College as soon as she could manage.
However, she was astonished when she arrived at the square outside the college!
What?
That wasn’t right!
Why were there so many people?
A lot of parents were here, but there were teenagers as well, who looked like exam candidates.

Jumping off the horse, Feng Wu grabbed the first person she saw and asked, “Has the exam started yet?”
The person she asked was a teenager with delicate features. He was dazed by Feng Wu’s beauty when he saw her face… Involuntarily, he blushed and lowered his gaze.
However, he then spotted Feng Wu’s fluffy pajamas and her fluffy slippers… He raised his head in astonishment and looked at her strangely.
“Answer me. Has the exam started yet?” Feng Wu glared at him.
“Oh, right —” The teenager came back to himself and replied. “No, it hasn’t.”
“How come? Shouldn’t it have started like two hours ago?” Feng Wu’s eyes widened in surprise. In that moment, all her anxiety was gone, turning into curiosity instead.
Before the teenager could answer, a teenage girl moved closer and said, “Right? It should have started a long time ago, but the exam got postponed.”
“When will the exam resume, then?” Feng Wu was thrilled!
Holy crap. Someone up there must really like her! Otherwise, why would such a thing happen?

She was late and so was the exam? Hahahaha —
In that moment, Feng Wu was so excited that she wanted to guffaw.
It had to be the luckiest day of her life.
“We have no idea.” The girl was very enthusiastic and seemed to make friends quickly. She added, “We don’t know if the exam will resume today. We may have to come back tomorrow.
“By the way, do you know why the exam was postponed?” The girl moved closer, lowered her voice, and blinked at Feng Wu.
“Why?” Feng Wu asked curiously.
“I heard that it was because Mr Lu was assassinated,” the girl whispered.
The boy shook his head. “How does that have anything to do with our exam?”
“Who knows. No one has told us anything, anyway, nor do we know when the exam will start.” The girl frowned, then her eyes lit up. “Hey, what are your names? I’m Ye Qing. Nice to meet you.”
“I’m Zhao Shu,” said the boy quietly.
“Feng Wu,” said Feng Wu.
It had been five years since Feng Wu enjoyed her fame, so that name didn’t raise an alarm.
Ye Qing grinned. “Feng Wu? Where have I heard that name before? Right, there was this golden girl who had that name as well. Guess what? I used to live in her shadow when I was little.”
“Did you?” Feng Wu rubbed her nose.
Zhao Shu and Ye Qing both had something to say on the matter.
Zhao Shu sighed. “That’s right. Back then, Feng Wu meant so much. All the boys used to stand in His Royal Highness’s shadow and all the girls in Feng Wu’s.”
Ye Qing nodded. “I really liked Feng Wu and I can’t stop wondering what happened to her. Come to think of it, those people out there are so awful. Feng Wu has to be the one who suffered the most from losing her ability — she was the victim, for God’s sake. But the only thing those people did was add insult to injury and scoff at her. Shame on them.”
Zhao Shu said, “But didn’t they say that Feng Wu crippled herself because she got greedy in her cultivation?”
Ye Qing snorted. “And you believe that? Plus, so what if she lost her ability because she tried to move past her limits? Everyone wants to become better and stronger. Since when was that a crime?”
Zhao Shu rubbed his nose. “I didn’t say she did anything wrong…”
Since the exam hadn’t started, Feng Wu found a corner to take off her pajamas and change into a simple pale blue outfit instead.
She wandered around, looking for Chaoge, but the latter was nowhere to be seen.
She was sure that Chaoge had to be looking for her as well.
At that moment, outside the gate of Imperial College —
Mr Lu’s stately figure showed up in front of everyone.
“Mr Lu! It’s Mr Lu!”
Everyone began to shout and cry when they saw Mr Lu.
“Mr Lu, why is the exam postponed?!”
“Mr Lu, when will the exam begin?”
“Mr Lu…”
The crowd kept pushing forward and the slim Feng Wu ended up at the front.

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.

8 204Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!
