《Cheaters Always Win》Not a chapter; Excerpts + Chapter Delay
Advertisement
In the twisting alleys and shadowy corners of the magical, medieval city of Garbrandt, a gang known as the Slimebellers once held sway over a significant portion of the urban landscape. Clad in their signature green-and-black attire, the Slimebellers were notorious for their ruthless tactics and their unique, slime-based abilities. The Slimebellers operated a vast network of illicit activities, from smuggling magical contraband to orchestrating elaborate extortion rackets. They had their tendrils in nearly every aspect of the city's underworld, and many city officials and merchants found themselves under the gang's slimy thumb.
At the helm of this infamous gang was their enigmatic leader, a man known only as "Sludge." Sludge was a formidable figure, both feared and respected by his followers and enemies alike. His unique class granted him extraordinary slime-based powers, which he used to devastating effect in battles and to maintain his iron grip on the Slimebellers' territory. With the ability to secrete corrosive, adhesive, or even explosive slime, Sludge was a force to be reckoned with. He could alter the properties of his slime at will, making it an incredibly versatile weapon. Many an enemy had met their demise at the hands of Sludge, their bodies dissolved or immobilized in a viscous, green embrace.
However, the Slimebellers' reign of terror was not to last. A new and powerful gang, the East Star Clubs, rose to prominence in Garbrandt, fueled by their seemingly endless financial resources. The East Star Clubs quickly began to encroach on the Slimebellers' territory, buying out or intimidating the officials and merchants who once served as the Slimebellers' pawns. With their territory slipping away and their influence waning, the Slimebellers found themselves outmatched and outmaneuvered by the East Star Clubs. Despite Sludge's formidable powers and cunning strategies, the Slimebellers were eventually overtaken, their once-thriving empire reduced to a mere memory in the annals of Garbrandt's criminal underworld.

Heroism and Bad Decisions
When superpowers appeared, the only reason civilization did not collapse was a century of comic books and movies making the new reality familiar and even welcome. When threats out of fantasy and science fiction became truth, people with powers rose up to the challenge because it was both a dream come true and the culturally acceptable thing to do. But not all is well in the new world. Monsters, power-related accidents and villains are on the rise. Governments, companies and opportunists are not staying idle. In this slowly darkening New Age, Valley Grant just discovered she has powers. Joining the ranks of heroes is the next step, right? What do you mean she's not qualified? Why won't hero teams let her join and why are superhero costumes more expensive than cars?! And above all else, why do cape fights keep ruining her make-up? Updates 3 times a week.

I will not be eaten
Litchi is your ordinary Royal Road addict. She can’t resist the call of a new chapter even when she needs to work. Because of too many new responsibilities she promises one week without reading. Sadly, she cracks in three days, because of an Azarinth Healer notification. Taking out her phone she starts avidly reading. It’s just a small promise, she will try it another time. Nothing should happen. Say that to the goblin that tries to eat your face, Litchi! You should keep your promise! She was used to food jokes on her name but it seems that this time her destiny is to be eaten. ---- Hello future reader! I didn’t find a new good isekai so why not create my own? I am an RR addict and amateur writer (in French) and today I decided to publish a story. You will have my eternal gratitude for any advice or constructive comments on the story! One of my objectives is to have developed characters, duo or trio make a fantastic way to character growth. So, I will try to create a deep relationship between a few of them. The first few chapters have a lot of combat, but other characters will soon arrive. Those first few chapters are made to build tension and create Litchi's first motivations. This story has the plot written to the end and important characters already shaped. This story is short in comparison to the majority of RR fantasy stories. Update every two days until I have no more chapters in my pocket. Average chapter length: 2200 words Warning: The grammar can be bad, IMPORTANT CHARACTERS CAN (Will) DIE, contain philosophical conversation as the characters stumble upon morals dilemmas. I hope I will see you soon in the comments and thank you in advance for reading Litchi’s journey. Have a nice day! :)
