《Sinbad: High King of the Seas》Chapter 2: "Sinbad the Sailor!"
Advertisement
"Sinbad, we should turn back! The storm to great!" Annalise says as she held young children to protect them from the storm. The adults talk about how they are going to die and everything.
"Don't fear the wave!" Sinbad says and points out into the sea, "Read the flow of the waves, accept them, then overcome them!" He turns to look at them and Annalise's eyes widen as she saw him smiling.
A caravan is shown traveling all alone without any guards and bandits attack it. Annalise and Sinbad look down at the fight.
"Those bandits planned to do unspeakable things to those girls." Annalise says.
"Then let's help them!" Sinbad says.
"You only want to help because they are girls." Annalise says with a blank expression. A little girl screams.
"ENOUGH!" Sinbad yells. The leader looks up at them.
"It's only some stupid brats." The leader says, "Why don't you go on home and take a piss or something!"
"Whether they are humans or oceans, both are like the waves! And no wave is stronger than... ME!" Sinbad says before landing on the leader and using his momentum to jump again. Annalise runs forward and kicks one of the guys holding a girl. Sinbad deals with two other guys by kicking one in the face then punching another. He deals with the others then lands beside Annalise.
"Well, that was fun." Sinbad says as he claps his hands together. The people of the Caravan smile as they were impressed by him and he smiles. Annalise stands behind him and rolls her eyes.
"How can we thank you for saving us?" The girls ask.
"Are you traveling without male company?" Sinbad asks.
"Yes, our father and brothers went to war." One of the girls say.
"Then why not hire us? We can take care of any bandits!" Sinbad says.
"We are here for some small business then we are heading home." One of the girls say.
"Oh, maybe next time." Sinbad says as he soothes the head of the youngest girl.
"We don't want to get you in trouble with your girlfriend anyway." One of the girls say.
"Girlfriend?" Sinbad asks and Annalise sighs.

"I'm not his girlfriend." Annalise mumbles with a blush.
"How about we pay you in some of our wares?" The oldest of the girls ask. They open a barrel and everyone except Annalise and Sinbad scream.
"Don't open without permission!" The guy in the barrel says shocked.
So, Annalise and Sinbad were stuck with the mysterious guy wearing a green outfit. He looked to be a magician or sorcerer of some kind. He walked with a funny looking staff. He introduces himself as Yunan as he flirts with Annalise, who barely noticed him flirting.
"Oh um, hello." Annalise says. Sinbad glares and steps between the two as Yunan had taken Annalise's hand.
"Anyway, what were you doing in a barrel?" Sinbad asks as Sinbad keeps himself between the two protectively.
"It was so nice and dark in the barrel." Yunan says.
"He's weird." Sinbad says. They arrive back at the village and Annalise giggles as they spend time with the villagers in their village. Yunan watches them both. They finally return home and Esra tries to get out of bed.
"You brought a guest with you two, please make yourself at home!" Esra says.
"Mom, don't get out of bed!" Sinbad says.
"But, I..." Esra says.
"It's fine, lie down." Sinbad says.
Annalise gets started on making dinner as she'd taken over the duties of making dinner for the family as she wanted to repay for them taking care of her.
The next morning, Yunan wakes up to find Sinbad and Annalise making breakfast. They feed him but then say that they must leave for a cargo work. They turn and leave the house as they wave goodbye to Yunan.
"You seem to be enjoying your breakfast. I taught Annalise everything she knows." Esra says. Yunan bows formally to her.
"Yes, thank you for letting me stay here." Yunan says.
"Don't mention it." Esra says before coughing a lot. Yunan mixes the herbs into the tea and gives it to her.
"Thank you very much." Esra says, "You are our guest, you shouldn't have to worry about my well-being."
"Have you had this illness for long?" Yunan asks.
"I have, and it pains me that it's burdening Sinbad and Annalise." Esra says.

"Um, about Annalise being a Fanalis." Yunan says.
"We met her when she was three years old. Sinbad found her and the two instantly become best friends. She loves him dearly and has promised to stay by his side regardless. She was the very first person we offered our home to." Esra says.
"I see." Yunan says.
A woman comes and says that Sinbad and Annalise are getting attacked by soldiers. Yunan goes in Esra's place to help. Yunan stares in shock at the scene. Annalise was being held to the ground by one soldier while another had her hair. She'd obviously tried to get to Sinbad who was being held to the ground by two other soldiers.
"And if I refuse?" Sinbad asks.
"You have a mother and this girl here." The commander says and the soldier holding Annalise pulls her hair making her scream.
"Leave them out of this!" Sinbad says. The commander tells them about the dungeon and then looks at Sinbad.
"Just a warning to you that defying the draft is a major crime. Think about that." The commander says and Annalise is released. Sinbad walks over to her and glares at the soldiers as they walk away. Sinbad's face softens and he looks at Annalise.
"Are you alright?" Sinbad asks and she nods. Yunan convinces Sinbad to try and take the dungeon and become king. Annalise stares at Sinbad wondering what he plans to do and if he truly will go to the dungeon after Yunan vanishes into thin air.
"What do you plan to do?" Annalise says.
"I want you to stay here. I'm going to take that dungeon." Sinbad says.
"I've always remained by your side because I am indebted to you. You saved my life from going back into slavery. You and your parents gave me a home. You are my best friend. I'll follow you into the dungeon and help you take it." She says and he turns and looks at her shocked. She had determination in her eyes. It was the first expression she'd ever really showed. Normally she had a blank look on her face or she was glaring at him. This was a new expression for her.
"I couldn't let anything happen to you." Sinbad says.
"Nothing will. I've survived worse." She says and he stares at her with wide eyes.
That night while the three are eating, Annalise stares down at her food. The group sat in silence until Esra broke the silence.
"I know what you two plan to do." Esra says.
"What are you talking about?" Sinbad asks.
"I know you two plan to go onto a journey. I want you two to promise to look after one another and stick together." Esra says.
"Esra..." Annalise says.
"You two are best friends and I practically raised you as my own Annalise." Esra says.
"R-Right..." Annalise says. Esra holds up Badr's sword.
"Take this." Esra says, "Let it aid you on your journey."
"Mom." Sinbad says.
"Please, it'll make me feel better." Esra says.
"Right." Sinbad says and takes the sword.
The next day, the two head towards the Dungeon. Annalise grabs Sinbad and jumps over the military. They land behind the commander that ordered the men to hurt Annalise yesterday. Sinbad declares that he is going to be the one to capture the dungeon.
"There will be no women on this journey." The Commander says.
"Try and stop her. You got a jump on her last time, but try stopping her and you'll wish you were dead when she's through with you!" Sinbad says. They turn and run towards the Dungeon and then stop when they see Yunan.
"You two can do this together." Yunan says.
"Yes." Annalise says.
"She's cute, don't let anything bad happen to her!" Yunan says. Sinbad laughs and the two run up the stairs.
"See you again, Yunan!" Sinbad says and the two run inside. The troops head in afterwards and the two are shown floating in a different dimension. Sinbad grabs Annalise's hand before reaching forward and they appear inside the dungeon. The two head further inside and Annalise looks up in shock.
"We made it inside!" Sinbad says and Annalise nods.

Midara: Requiem
"When the alternative is extinction, all acts, no matter how heinous, are permitted." The story of a little necromancer who only wants to play with abominations against all that is holy dollies and her horsey, Mister Clackybones. Welcome to the novelization of one script I designed for a video game setting I call Midara (I selected the name of a genus of moths for symbolism purposes, not to be confused with anything else). Once upon a time, I dreamed of the setting being the next Final Fantasy. Long story short: Nope. Requiem itself is meant to be an Open-World RPG which adapts to the choices of the player. This is just one of many, many paths that one might follow in Requiem's gameplay, if it ever becomes a game.

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

Monster Girl versus the Multiverse (Isekai)
Akumi Fuji is the world's greatest Dungeons & Drakes Online player—and she's in trouble! She's been isekai'd into the Multiverse, a video game-like network of universes based on fiction genres, from High Fantasy to Cyberpunk to Space Opera. What's worse, it's in the middle of a civil war. The United Worlds, a federation of imperialistic demihumans, is fighting the League of Monsters, an alliance of xenophobic monsters. Now, Akumi is going to have to use her newfound ability to turn into monster girls, from a sneaky goblin girl to a ferocious werewolf girl to an invincible dragon girl, if she wants to survive, make allies, and eventually rule in this strange new world. Oh, and did I mention she has to eat a monster before she can turn into its monster girl type? Talk about a bad roll! This isn't your typical isekai, this isn't your typical litRPG, and this isn't your typical system web novel. This is as weird as it gets. This is Monster Girl versus the Multiverse! Author's Note: Chapters will be released on Sundays, GMT. If you like anime, comic books, video games, and tabletop role-playing games—especially Dungeons & Dragons—you'll like this. It's going to be one of those long web novels with 100+ chapters, deep lore, and a huge cast of colourful characters. The story will eventually turn into an epic quest across the Multiverse in the same vein as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
