《Follow the Plot》Chapter 46

Estorea put down her fork and knife. She stood up, "Thanks for the food. You can go now, Kieran. You're here because the war is about to start soon, am I right?"
Kieran grinned, "You always know everything! Yes indeed. I already have the military prepared." He turned his head towards the blue sky. There were clouds floating across. "I just have to find the right time to catch the royal family offguard and make sure their army is in a mess."
Estorea nodded and confirmed, "I see." She checked the clock, it was almost time to accompany her sister. Looking back at Kieran, Estorea said she had to go now. She had to accompany her sister."
Kieran frowned and pouted, "Can't you stay here? Please?" He begged. However, Estorea rejected him without any hesitation.
Kieran sighed and his face turned gloomy. "Alright.."
Estorea smiled, and headed off to her sister's room. Leaving Kieran alone.
...
As predicted, Yula and Estorea had went to town.
They were in a dress shop and Yula was checking out the dresses.
Occasionally, she turned around and asked Estorea for her opinions.
Estorea, who was unable to control her body had a stiff smile on her face. She nodded and complimented on whatever Yula wore.
After an hour of looking for clothes, Yula still hasn't found a perfect outfit. Estorea could only sit down patiently and wait for her to finish. She was horribly bored to death.
Trying to find entertainment in the old eras was difficult. Besides from reading books or being hogged with jobs and work. There was no WiFi, no phones, no mobile devices. Thus, the entertainment was horrible.
"Rea." Yula called out suddenly.
"Yes, dear sister?" Estorea replied. Yula walked over to her and handed her a small brown pouch filled with gold coins. "Go to the slums and hand out some gold coins to the beggars. Oh, tell them it's from me as well." Estorea stood up and took the bag as instructed.

Yula thinks that instead of her sister sitting down and waiting here, she found it more useful if she could use her to spread her reputation around the town.
...
Exiting the shop, the bell rung, and the door slowly swung shut. Estorea gripped the pouch in her hands. As she was walking over to the alley slums.
She finally could get control of her actions. Everytime she was near Yula, her body would freeze up and she would lose control.
Walking along the pathway, Estorea saw a woman, wearing a pastel blue floppy hat that covered her face, wearing a white laced dress.
As she got closer, she caught a glimpse of the woman's face.
'..!? Isn't that Kari? The heroine? What is she doing here?'
Kari noticed her stare, she slightly lift up her head, Estorea could see her ruby red eyes shining like gems.
Kari smiled, she waved at her. "Hello, we meet again!" Holding out a hand, she took Estorea's hand and shook it.
"..."
Estorea was confused. "What are you doing here...?"
Kari's eyes glinted. "Ah... Is this not part of the plot or something?
Estorea acknowledged her words. "Your not supposed to be here..."
A smug look appeared on her face, "Well, of course."
"Why are you here? And how did you here?"
Kari softly laughed. "That's a secret. I got here because of a certain someone. I'm just waiting for the trigger event to go back. Do you happen to know what that is?"
Estorea furrowed her eyebrows, racking her brain.
Rubbing her chin, "Do you mean when the villainess gets denounced or someone is executed or something?"
Kari clasped her hands together, "Yes! Do you know when it will happen?"
"Uh..." Estorea started to count how many more weeks she had left. The story ends when the heroine turns 20, which means is close to the end of the year where they will get a happily ever after. So, if she were to align her age with the heroine.

"5 months..." And in those 5 months, the relationship between the heroine and the three male leads will improve. Estorea gave a look of pity to Kari.
Kari tilted her head in confusion, "What?"
"Don't fall in love with any of the male leads you meet."
Kari blinked, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She couldn't even get within one radius of a guy alone...
Her husband would immediately turn gloomy and cling onto her 24/7 until she comforted him enough.
Estorea suddenly remembered what she had to do, revealing a panicked expression. She was so caught up in talking!
"Uhm, sorry! But I got to go hand out this. Uhm, see you in 5 months then?" She waved at Kari and jogged off.
"Ah... Young people nowadays..."

Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
