《The Land of Stories: The Adventure Continues》Training Needed

Matthew took the book downstairs to the table. Charlie took it from Matthew and it instantly started to glow.
"Charlie, honey. I want you to stay here." Elizabeth said.
"What!? No mom." Charlie said.
"Charlie your mother's right. This is going to get dangerous and I really think you should stay here." Conner said.
"I'll stay here with her." Bree said.
"No I'll call my e...her father and he'll come pick her up." Elizabeth said.
"No I insist. This war stuff isn't for me anymore. I'll leave it to the professionals." Bree said and smiled at Conner.
Conner smiled at Bree. "We'll be back soon. You going to be ok?"
"Don't worry I can take care of myself." Bree said.
"I believe that." Conner said and kissed her. "Let's go."
"Goodbye Charlie." Elizabeth said and hugged her only daughter tightly. "We'll be back soon."
"I'll be fine." Charlie said. "Go live my dream."
Elizabeth smiled and they all jumped into the book. They all landed in a field filled with dead grass and flowers and in front of them was Snow Whites castle.
"Whoa, where are we?" Matthew asked.
"Looks like the Northern Kingdom." Froggy said.
"Ugh, it looks terrible." Red said. "How do we know if they're here?"
"Look over there." Conner said and pointed to a small wooden door covered with vines. "That may be where they're keeping them...our future selves."
The group quietly ran over to the door, and Alex used her magic to make the vines disappear. They slowly opened the door and they gasped when they saw the dungeon. They saw all the royals and their future selves. They walked down the hall and they all gasped when they saw younger versions of Goldilocks, Jack Red, Froggy, and Alex and Conner.
"No way." Older Jack said. The group looked to their right and saw them.
"How is this possible?" Older Goldilocks said. "Is this some sort of spell?"
"You could say that." Alex said. "What's happened here? We're here to save you."
"Oh thank God! Open this cell first." Older Red said.
"Wow, I age well." Younger Red said and smiled. "What's our secret?"
"Magic, and a lot of moisturizer." Older Red said. "Whoa, what's happening to you?"
Younger Red started to disappear into smoke. The same thing happened to Goldilocks, Froggy and Jack.
"What's going on?" Older Goldilocks asked.
"They must be heading back to their own time." Older Froggy said.
"Yes. That must be it. Two versions of your self can't be in the same time, so when you come face to face with your future or past self you return to your own time." Alex said. The younger versions of Red, Froggy, Goldilocks and Jack soon were completely dissolved and sent back to their own time.

"Ok, all we need is you. What's going on and wheres our father?" Carrie asked holding onto the cell bars.
"Who are you?" Red asked.
"We're Conner Baileys kids. I'm Carrie, this is my sister Elizabeth and this is my brother Matthew. Now answer our questions."
"The Evil Queens children have taken over." Goldilocks said. "They have your father upstairs with your aunt."
"What are they doing to them?" Matthew asked.
"We don't know. But we're trying not to think the worst." Red said.
"Ok, we now know what we're up against, you guys stay here. We'll deal with this." Alex said.
"Trust us Alex. You can't go against these people alone. Your future self said that they have magic you've never seen before." Goldilocks said. "All of you will need to help."
"Which I'm sure will not be a problem for you three. You are the children of a great hero." Froggy said.
"We don't know magic, or how to fight." Elizabeth said.
"I know some moves. When I was younger I was a black belt in Karate." Matthew said and crossed his arms very impressed with himself.
"That's when you were ten. I was eight when I got mine. Ha!" Carrie said and smiled.
"So what kind of training?" Elizabeth asked.
"Sword fighting, and...magic." Alex said.
"No, no way. There must be another way to save them then learning magic." Matthew said.
"There's no other way. We're going up against magic, you'll need to know how to use it." Alex said. "You have it inside all of you, you just need to learn how to use it."
"She's right." Conner said.
"Do you know magic?" Matthew asked Conner.
"No, I wasn't as successful as your aunt." Conner said.
"Exactly. Some of you will have our family's gift and maybe you won't. We'll just have to see." Alex said. She snapped her fingers and a portal potion and a book appeared in her hands. She poured the potion on the book, and set it on the ground and opened it. A huge beam of light shot out and illuminated the room with light.
"Hey I see a light downstairs. Let's go see what's going on." A man said from upstairs.
"Quick everyone inside!" Alex said. They all ran inside and the book closed and disappeared.
The group appeared in Camelot's training school for the soldiers. It was a circular room with swords, shields and all kind of weapons on the walls.
"Wow this is awesome." Matthew said. "I've always wanted to learn how to sword fight."
"This is the first time you've actually been excited this entire time." Carrie said.

"Yeah, well this is something that's pretty cool." Matthew said.
"Ok, Matthew grab a sword." Conner said. "I'll teach you first."
The doors to the arena opened up and a blonde girl came in fixing her belt and grabbed a sword off the wall. The girl had her hair in the high ponytail, and wore a dark blue dress with gold embroidery on it. She turned around and let out a little scream.
"Hey, who are you?" She said.
"Allyson?" Alex said. "I forgot we're in the future Camelot as well."
"Mom?" Allyson said. "What's going on?"
"Allyson we're from the past, we're not from this time. But these three are." Alex said. "It's very complicated."
"You used a time travel spell. So who are these three?"
"These are your cousins. From this time." Conner said. "This is Elizabeth, Carrie, and Matthew."
"Hi." Allyson and waved. Elizabeth, Carrie and Matthew waved back. "So what are you doing here?"
"Something has happened in the Fairytale World. Future me has been captured along with your uncle and our friends."
"Where's Jake?" Allyson asked.
"I'm right here." A voice said behind them. Jake was Red and Froggy's biological son. He had light brown hair, with blue eyes and he wore a red suit with gold embroidery.
"Oh thank God Jake your all right." Allyson said and hugged him. Another man then ran inside. He was sweating and out of breath. He had blonde hair and brown eyes and wore a dark orange suit with white embroidery.
"Jake, you ran so fast through that portal I didn't know where you were." He said.
"Sorry Gabriel." Jake said. "We were almost captured like our parents were. But we escaped in time."
"Who are these two?" Conner asked.
"This is my boyfriend Jake, he's Red and Froggy's son, and this is Gabriel, Goldilocks and Jacks youngest son and my sisters husband." Allyson said. "Well if you need training we can help you."
"First where's Annabelle?" Gabriel asked.
"Oh she's probably in the castle. She'll be out soon." Allyson said. "I'll come with you to fight these enemies in the Fairytale World...mom."
"I will too." Jake said.
"Me too." Gabriel said. "We'll help you train. Let's start."
Matthew grabbed a sword and it was so heavy he almost fell to the ground. Allyson ran over and helped him carry it.
"Your pretty weak aren't you." Allyson said helping him.
Matthew scoffed. "No. Maybe a little. I haven't lifted weights in a while."
"During a battle, you can never show how weak you are. It makes it easier for your enemy to defeat you." Allyson said. "My father told me that when I was younger."
"What happened to your dad?" Matthew asked.
"He went to war, and he was killed by our enemy." Allyson said.
"Oh I'm sorry." Matthew said. "I lost my mom."
"Let's stop talking about this, and let's fight." Allyson said and grabbed her sword and flung it at Matthew. He quickly moved back before he could get hurt.
"Hey, you could have hurt me." Matthew said.
"That's how fast your enemy will be in battle." Allyson said. "Now come at me."
Matthew lifted his sword and swung it at her and she disappeared and appeared behind him. She then kicked his back he fell face flat. His sisters saw what happened and they laughed.
"Man, I wished I had got that video so I can show everyone that you got beat by a girl." Carrie said and laughed.
"I'm glad you didn't." Matthew said and got up and his back cracked.
"Ha your also old." Carrie said and laughed harder.
"I think she broke my back." Matthew said in pain.
"Sorry I have a hard kick." Allyson said. She waved her hand over his back and it instantly felt better.
"Hey how'd you do that, and how did you get behind me so fast?"
"Magic." Allyson said. "If you have magic training it makes you stronger when you fight."
"Allyson, I think he needs another type of sword." Gabriel said and took the sword that Matthew was holding. He put it back and handed him a little wooden sword.
"Your right we should start slow." Allyson said. A pink cloud of smoke appeared and Annabelle appeared from it.
"What's going on here?" She said. She had her strawberry blonde hair down in curls, and wore a pink and white dress.
"Your cousins want to learn how to fight." Gabriel said. He walked over to her and kissed her. "I missed my beautiful wife."
"I missed you too. The kids as well." Annabelle said. "Shall I teach magic lessons Allyson?"
"Sure, and our mother will help you." Allyson said.
"What? Moms back." Annabelle turned around and saw the younger versions of her mother and uncle. "What the heck is going on?"
"We'll explain later it's a long story. But to cut it short we're from the past. So Alex I'll help with sword training, and you and Annabelle will help with magic lessons." Conner said.

The Everlasting. (Completed)
An Everlasting. A title given to those who have reached a state closest to godhood. Be it through might and power or through love and compassion. These beings hold great influence over the realms. This story is about Asura, a young orphaned child, who was taught the way of the blade and has mastered the Warrior Arts at a very young age. Given a recommendation by his master, Asura ventures out to broaden his horizons and to learn magic. Follow Asura’s journey and his quest to reach Everlastinghood. Comment by the author: Looking at the chapter list, you might have noticed Volume 1 is not there. The reason is that it’s in the process of being published so I’m somewhat restricted in where and how I can post it. Edit. 18/04/2017 The first volume is now officially on sale. It is no longer possible to get the first volume for free. I am sorry but it was free for a long time and it was time for it. However if you like to support me you can find th first volume here on Amazon (getBook.at/TheEverlasting) Compared to other stories on Royal Road this one is faster paced. No artificial extensions of the story by spending forever in generic constructs, like random ranking tournaments, that don’t really matter for the overall plot. That’s the plan anyway. Volumes consist roughly of 30-35k words. Additionally: I am not a native speaker, nor have I had any formal education in the English language. I am trying very hard to improve myself. If you want to help me by proofreading my story, shoot me a PM and we’ll see if we can arrange something. Other than my thanks and fake internet points I can’t offer anything, though. Yeah, poor student here… Edit 22/06/2017 Hey the story is officially ended if i ever decide to continue it will be on another date. The ending is open for anyone to use their imagination. Thank you all for the support. I hope we could meet later in the Everlasting II. Respectfully Biako

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
