《Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess》Chapter 3 - What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen
Advertisement
Alright, so I think I figured something out.
Remember how before, the last thing I recalled was a blinding isekai light that took me away from the palace of light?
Well, right now it’s dark, and I mean really dark. Can’t see a thing in this place. Plus, it’s really warm and kinda… wet, maybe?
Ew.
Anyway, I have a really really bad feeling about this, and I’m praying to the heavens that my guess is wro—
“PUSH!”
Well, a guy can dream, can’t he? So that sounded like a woman telling another woman something tha—
“PUSH!”
“Aaaaahh!!”
… Well, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, it sounded like they want me to go through something that I’m pretty sure a person should only go through once.
The heck was this? Why was I going through childbirth, that is only acceptable if I were a woman, which I’m not… I think.
Dum!
Okay, so my entire surroundings just shifted forward a bit. Now if I were a betting man, or baby… that would be the sound and feeling of me being pushed.
Sweet Lord.
I see an opening that brings in light and compels me to close my eyes. As I am going through this, I look back on my previous life and wonder just what kind of butt could I have been to deserve this; I mean seriously, childbirth? A second time??
Does Hitler deserve this? I think not.
“PUSH!!!”
“GET IT OUT OF ME!!”
Well… let’s not go down that road, shall we. Seriously though, I thought isekais were supposed to be clean. What happened to viciously taking over a dying person’s body? What happened to taking over a living person’s body? What happened to morals??
{Oi Long Di, can you hear me?}

“Oh, goddess? Is that, uh, wait, hold on…”
{What do you mea—}
“PUSH!!!”
“Why is it not coming out!!?”
“Continue.”
{…}
“Goddess?”
{… There are some things in this world that I sorely wish to know, and that—that was not one of them.}
“Oh, well, you get used to it. I would ask you what’s up, but the better question is. As I am sure the woman out there surely wants to know, why am I being born?”
{That’s why I contacted you, I wanted to punish you for all the stunts you pulled, and get revenge for that lie about the ending with the high school and the zombies! There was no ending!}
“Oh, you found that out, huh? How’d you figure it out so fast? Like I just came here.”
{I told you that time doesn’t exist here, so by the time you left, I scoured the internet only to find that out. So I tweaked a couple of things with the goddess of fate when she coincidentally contacted me and we both figured that childbirth would be an awesome punishment. It seems that karma, however, decided to make me its bastard.}
“I think the apt word would be bit—”
{You finish that sentence and I will blind you with scenes of your childbirth for every level you go up by.}
“… So I’m being born, huh? Neat! So what’s going on with Pebbles, how’s he doing?”
{You’ll have to wait and see. I don’t even know if I should call that cat lucky or a walking disaster.}
“What in the world has Pebbles done?”
{Whatever, I don’t care about that! There is something else…}
Her voice trembled a bit as it trailed off, so I knew that something not good must have happened.

“What is something else?”
{… So the Elder Gods found out about what I did with your mulit-skills and I’m in BIG trouble right now. First of all, they tasked me to take all of them back. If I don’t, I w—}
“No.”
{W-What!? Please just give em ba—}
“No.”
{C’mon!}
“Hold on.”
{Not again!!}
“PUSH!!!”
“Why is this child doing this to me!!?”
“Now where were we? No.”
{Fine! Since the skills you have are so irrational and rule-breaking, I will have to accompany you throughout your journey or whatever!}
“You’re gonna be by my side? From I’m a baby?? I dunno, it sounds kinda paedophile-ish to me.”
{Pedophile-ish your mother! Who are you calling a paedophile you perpetually expressionless malnourished meerkat!!}
“… I don’t feel like that’s your insult, but I’ll take it. PS I haven’t met my mother yet so I’ll thank you not to slander her by calling her paedophile-ish-”
{But I—}
“In addition, if you are to accompany me, then please make sure you are not seen, as you might affect my swagger.”
{…}
I couldn’t see her, but I was pretty sure she was looking at me like an idiot, so I’m not going to comment any further there.
“Now, if this all you came to say, could you give me some room? I need to be born.”
{You suck!! Sooo hard!!!}
“I know… breastmilk will have to be a thing. Your least favourite part is coming up.”
{That’s it! I’m out!}
“Oh, my god!! I think you may be crowning!! PU-PUSH!!! Get him out of there!!”
“Great Doodoo Butter finally! Aaaaahhh!”
…
Oh my gosh, well if you don’t want to hear this, then you will need to stop reading.
Now, a rift has opened up above me and my surroundings along with myself are now being dragged to the outside world.
I can hear screaming, cursing, and a whole lot of other stuff I refuse to understand. I can also literally feel my body exiting the ol belly apartment, so excuse me for a moment while I’m petrified due to unholy horror and god-like disgust.
…
“Finally!!”
“My God, in all my years of helping with childbirth, I have never encountered a situation like this. Thankfully, however, the baby is fine. Would you like to hold him, Lady Nuhuang?”
“Yes, I do, please. Since this child gave me so much trouble now, he better be someone great in the future.”
“I—Is this truly our son? Oh dear wife, let me look at him. His eyes are so bright and wide!”
“Yes, my husband, I see it in his eyes, too. It’s as if he’s seen the wonders of the world. I wonder what he’s thinking about?”
WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN.

Keyboard Immortal
A lightning strike transmigrated Zu An into another world. In that world, he was known as the trash of Brightmoon City, but for some reason, he was married to the gorgeous and highly talented daughter of the Chu clan? What? I'm a transmigrator but I don't have any talent for cultivation? Why are there so many people out for my life? And most importantly of all, how in the world did I get on the bed of my sister-in-law on my wedding night?!It was a nightmarish starting point for Zu An, but fortunately, as a famed keyboard warrior in his previous life, the world gave him a keyboard in this life too so that he could turn things around. Through his trolling and flaming, he shall stand atop the corpses of his burned enemies and rise to the top of the world!

A prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back. A young man trapped in an unfair world, without the status to bring about change. Combined, they will have both means and status. Armed with advanced knowledge from a strange world, will Prince Corco be able to cut through the injustice, regain his birthright and turn the country of his ancestors into a paradise of true peace, equality and prosperity? "Okay, first step: Let's make some Brandy." ...that's a maybe then. Author's note: I love the idea of kingdom-building novels and think the genre has a lot to offer, but I don't think many authors do them very well. Here is my attempt. The novel has a strong focus on politics and kingdom building, with occasional action and a bit of humor. Have fun. Cover was made by MrZombie Updates three times a week.

8 227Blood Demon's Retirement
Civil War had raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor. This is not his story. The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. Thus she retired, and went and did exactly what she wanted. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace. Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy. Expect: -slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action -world building -detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then Do not expect: -romance, other than maybe some passing mentions -politics, again, barring passing mentions Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. ---------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road and Scribblehub websites. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know. Also please don't be too hard on me when I make occasional grammatical mistakes, English is my third language after all. XD Edit suggestions are very welcome though. Discord
8 2527Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.
