From The Strongest Job of Dragon Knight, To The Beginner Job Carrier, Somehow, The Heroes are Depending on Me Volume 3 Chapter 17
Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: “Ryunakama”
「Oh, oooh…… So this is a completely unharmed fruit……!」
After entering the magic science guild, we immediately ended up in a lounge-type lobby.
And those were the first words from Moka who was awaiting us, after she received the metal box… Or rather, the fruit in perfect condition.
「……What a rich fragrance. You can’t sense it unless you pluck them…… This is proof that they have plenty of usable components left. If we manage to skillfully extract them, then probably……」
With a slight flush on her face, she seemed the most excited I’ve ever seen her.
And not only her. Researchers gathered around the reception desk also kept murmuring non-stop.
『Someone managed to cut through those bugs and deliver the fruit……!』
『How many were sent to the hospital by those bugs, yet they don’t have a single scratch……! That carrier is something else.』
Putting the murmur that I’ve heard together, it seems those bugs produced a lot of casualties
I guess that makes those fruits just that valuable, and while I was wondering about that, Moka, that until now was mumbling something under her breath, exclaimed in a loud voice.
「ーRight! If we have those, we can resume several of our halted experiments! Combined with what we’ve already extracted from the God Tree we can try a serious experiment with the poison or…… Ehm, aah, there are so many options, this is just the best. Anyhow, thank you! Axel-san! With this, we might achieve a breakthrough!!!」
「Oh, okay, glad to hear that.」
Moka says while tightly grasping both of my hands. Her eyes were shaking a bit, making her appear like a dangerous person, but she was merely excited, so there is no problem in leaving her like this.

「Sidonius! I have to put my thoughts together, so our meeting will have to wait for a bit! Axel-san, it would be nice if you rest over there for a bit! Or rather, let me give you your payment first!」
And still in the same excited state she pulled a paper from a table and began writing something on it.
「How should I put it… The top of our guild gets like this when she becomes keen about something. Sorry about this.」
「Why, I think it’s nice.」
Some of the researchers that I met at the capital during the war were also like this. Or actually, this type is quite numerous.
「Anyway, I’d like to give you my gratitude later, would it be fine to borrow some of your time at a later date?」
「Yes, of course.」
「Thanks goodness. Then, I will leave to prepare for the conference.」
Sidonius said and disappeared somewhere deeper in the lobby.
……Well, I guess I’ll take my pay and return below.
And when I thought soー
「My friend, I heard the story! So, you brought fruit of the God Tree in perfect condition!」
Daisy emerged from the laboratory and jumped on me.
「Daisy? So you were on the upper floors as well?」
Though in the morning she secluded herself in her laboratory, saying that she has things to do.
「Yes, I’m currently waiting for the results of my experiment, so I came to report my findings so far. Even I can climb up here given enough time. ーAh, let’s put that aside, it doesn’t matter anyway. What you did, my friend, is amazing! You instantly solved the ingredient problem that was giving the guild so much headache.」
「Hm? Do you mean the God Tree’s fruit? They were that big of a problem?」

「Of course they were! The ingredients used in medicine creation are important. An ingredient that would deteriorate from a mere scratch is incredibly troublesome to begin with, and we were in a state when we actually needed it. So you helped us a great deal.」
So that’s how it is. I took this request only to see what I can do here, I didn’t think that deep into it.
「……Hm. Well, since it helped many, I guess it’s fine.」
「This part of you hasn’t changed one bit…… Well, that’s what makes it good…… Ah, my friend.」
In the middle of the conversation Daisy suddenly lowered her voice and whispered in my ear.
What might this be about?
「Something is shining again? In your pocket.」
「Ah…… Really.」
The blue light, that I saw just the other day, leaked from my pocket.
Moving to the corner of the lobby, which didn’t have that many people around, I pulled out the source of that light, the skill sheet. Then, the blue light turned into letters, statingー
【Fixed amount of important articles transported, Condition fulfilled ーー 《Carrier》Level up!】
【Skill acquired. Transportation bag grade EX 2 augmentability 200 UP】
Was written there.
「My friend, you are really quick to level up……!」
「Well, the level seems to grow really fast when you do new tasks at new places. ……Ah, there is something more.」
This time the light continued to engrave new letters for a bit longer. And while I observed that, wondering if there is something moreーー
【Capacity expansion exceed fixed volume, past transportation limit increased to three skills】
Came an additional explanation.
「Ooh, I see. Marion mentioned that increase in capacity will lead to an increase in the number of transportable skills, so this is what she meant……」
It seems that skill was upgraded according to this description. And while I appreciated that change
「Past transportation…… Is that your skill? So it became more powerful?」
Daisy asked such a thing.
「Yeah, it’s a pretty useful skill. Since I can now use three skills the number of things I can do multiplied.」
「Oh, really……?! That’s amazing, my friend……!」
Daisy looked so delighted as if it was she who received a power-up.
…How should I put it, it’s really nice to have people that would be happy about the growth of your abilities.
And while thinking so, I patted Daisy, basking in a sense of accomplishment and wondering in excitement about what can I do with past transportation, now that I can use three skills at once.

Thief Lord
“What is wrong with you!?” That would be what anyone who knows me would say if they knew what I’ve done. They wouldn’t be wrong, as no sane person would ever quit his job the first chance he got when he saw an opening to follow his dream. To become rich and famous by playing video games. What? Did you think my dream wasn’t childish? The best dreams most often are. No? Well, maybe you just don’t dream big enough. Ever think about that? Dreams are never easy to follow, and neither is mine. There are millions of players who want the same as I do, but very few would actually risk their future trying. Following the path of a Villain isn’t easy, and I have a city filled with thousands of players who would love to see me fail. I will show them though. Just you wait and see... ----- This story is currently only posted here on royalroad.

8 107The Magic Man (Very Dead)
John was a fan of system apocalyspes, so he thought he knew what coming when he got caught up in one. He was wrong. This was an apocolypse in the original sense of the word, an unvieling. There were no ravenous hordes of monsters, no genocidal tutorials, and certainly no aliens from another dimension. Just humans. So John thought, "How can I exploit this?" This is my first story, and I am writing it as I go. Dont expect a regular update schedule or much long-term foreshadowing.
8 92The Adventures Of Heegan, Bleegan, Hoogan, and Bloogan: The Search For The Enchanted Toad Of Delarmir
This is a tale of four young goblin brothers, whose adventures and calamities are told as legends and jokes throughout the land. But they were first inspired by legends they heard, before ascending into one themselves; a reminder that simple beginnings can be the start of something great. Written for my D&D 5e party after they demanded I write an actual story about a children's book they found in one of our sessions, so I wrote it as it would appear in game as a childrens story. I took a very different approach on writing it, so do not be too disappointed when you find out it's not written at first grade reading level. Feedback is much appreciated, as I have never produced anything like this and I do hope I manage to entertain at least a few of you. New chapter releases to be within 3-5 days of one another (Work is now complete, do not expect new chapters).
8 98Shame On Me
After losing all his companions in a vicious fight, a powerful warrior is thrown back in time to when he was twelve years old. Using his expertise and knowledge of the world, will he be able to become strong enough to survive along with his friends?
8 215After Z
The signs were all there. A mysterious fever spreading in the wake of the pandemic. Increasing incidents of unrest with surprisingly little coverage by the media. Breakdowns in basic services. Nick had thought for years that total social collapse would come in his lifetime – he just never expected that collapse to come from the unquiet dead. As soon as he was sure enough that the potential danger outweighed the awkwardness of admitting that yes, the dead were rising, Nick grabbed his bug out bag and bugged out. It felt, at times, that the zombie movies, comics, and games he’d grown up with had been preparing for this moment. And Nick was right. But also very very wrong. After Z is an apocalyptic occult interactive serial about survivors hiding from the dead in a forest preserve. A new chapter is posted every week, and every week supporters vote on which way the story flows. This story will be added to daily until it's caught up with its current state elsewhere; if you don't want to wait you can read ahead on my blog.
8 186Challenge System
Red was scrolling through the app store late at night when he stumbles upon the Challenge System. The second he clicks on it he knows its a mistake. 15G downloads instantly and he's sure his phone has a virus. Then a bossy system starts ordering him to do pushups for drugs. The multiverse opens to him in the worst way possible with too much to do and little chance of survival.
