Alissanda's Intentions
“There are hidden outposts nearby,” Gana said as he pointed at the distant hills, “There, there, and there. All alarm towers, but not well-guarded. The sentries are only low-order warriors.”
“I see. The convoy should arrive in half a day, if they’re on schedule, right?”
“Yes,” Gana confirmed.
“Tell everyone to get ready.”
“But the sticks might notice if we move so soon.”
“I know. Just do it.”
“Yes...”
Gana was a tight-laced old man, even if he didn’t understand his commander’s orders, he would not disobey them.
Everyone was ready a few minutes later. Kurdak briefed everyone on their responsibilities and head to one of the outposts with Vera.
“Why do you insist on following me?” Kurdak asked, frowning.
Vera never took her eyes off him, like she was afraid he was going to do something stupid the moment she wasn’t watching. He...

Greg Veder vs The World
The average person can easily understand that when it comes to living in a villain-infested, crime-filled city like Brockton Bay, treating life like a game can get you killed. It's kind of ironic, then, that Greg Veder has always been far more serious about games than he ever has about life. (Worm/The Gamer AU)

Piper
"It was one thing to find a harbor in a storm, and a complete other to expect that harbor to be safe." Piper Hayes has made it through three years of college at the University of Rhode Island basically unscathed - until the day her best friend, Molly, disappears from a job meant for Piper. Distraught, Piper lets herself fall into the company of a basically-unknown acquaintance, the impressive and charming Bash Rivera. Turns out, Molly's situation is the least of Piper's worries, and Bash doesn't quite manage to keep up his suave and sophisticated facade when events turn difficult. Mostly because, while he is trying to save her life, she spends all of her time afraid of him. Once Piper realizes her real enemy, she might find herself alone in her fight. If she manages to survive, just maybe she can graduate on time; more importantly, maybe she won't have driven away the one person who cares about her the way she cares about everyone else.

The Gulf
My friends call me Dege, I’m 20 years old, and I like to party. I still live on my parent’s platform, which sucks because the whole island sails to Paradisia on Monday, and Paradisia sucks. I’d much rather stay here with my friends. But I can’t afford to, because they are way more successful than me. I did just meet this amazing girl who also lives on Gulf Sails, so at least I’ll have her to keep me company in Paradisia. I just need to make sure I avoid the Gulf business mogul Elijah Braze, who I just found out is a sexual predator… and I’m his prey.

I'm JUST a Farmer NOT an Adventuerer! (Isekai) Light Novel (Watashi wa tada no nōmindeari, bōken-kade wa arimasen!)
Simple farm life in a simple village is all Aiel has ever known. Monster slaying? Exploring?... Those are things for adventurers, knights, and heroes, aren't they? But what Aiel doesn't know is when one day a cute, but clutzy adventurer accidentally stumbles into his village, his life will never be the same._____________________________________ I've always liked the idea of stories about people who travel to other worlds that are different, yet familiar to what they know. Stories about "what if" world's where things operate like what a modern person would see in a video game. But another more so would be what it is the people we call NPC's actually think. This story explores such a situation on such a world. My story is called: "I'm JUST a Farmer, NOT an Adventurer!!!" A lighthearted comedy Isekai light novel currently ongoing. I really appreciate feedback and take it all under consideration. Everything helps me improve my story. Let me know your thoughts, what you would have preferred to see, or even things you'd hope happen. I always enjoy hearing people's thoughts. I hope you enjoy reading! I also upload on Wattpad: @TakeshiYumiNori And you can find the audiobook version on YouTube: Just type the title "I'm Just a Farmer NOT an Adventuerer!!! Audiobook" Into the search to find my channel
