Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 190
Advertisement
I waited for Dolly to log back into the game. Hagane also logged out a few minutes after I log back in to take his dinner. Chase also logged out to do the same as Hagane. Since I am the only one that is currently available, I didn't proceed to do the quest.
Checking all the quest logs, I have plenty of story-related quests that are currently pending. I wanted to clear them all in one go but sometimes, these quests are hard to complete. Not only it doesn't give any marker to where you need to find the objective but it is recommended to keep on exploring all around the game's unlocked areas and interacting with monsters or NPC to trigger them. The questline sometimes gives clues that will allow you to narrow down where you need to look however, it is sometimes in cryptic wordings that will make you have a headache thinking what the quest really meant.
Out of all the quests that I have right now, one is not yet possible to complete which is the legacy quest of the ring that I received from the battle against Serbal. If this was restored, this will allow me to breathe underwater without drowning and will be useful for exploring underwater and the hostiles seas of Aquanious. Not only the quest specifies me to go to the Aquanious Continent which will be released 6 months after the Sandurk Region is released but it also needed me to make contact with the Aquanious Ruler.
As for the others, I needed to complete a certain objective that is unknown or I have to complete a prerequisite quest to access it. So out of all the quests that I can complete, this main quest, the quest that Almira handed to me, and the trace to find the Excalibur which is connected to this main quest since the spirit of the owner of Excalibur will appear during the demon invasion.
Since I am not sure of the main content of the quest, I decided to create multiple potions and scrolls. With multiple people in the team, two of who are underleveled, it will be a bit difficult if we get to face a very strong enemy. Hagane would be the first to die and even my skills will not be able to save him except if I revive him again.

To make sure that everyone in the team will be able to survive in case the enemies are too strong to handle on their current level, I made a few potions to use and a few scrolls containing defensive spells that will negate damage for one use.
"Master..."
The voice of Atlas rang in my head.
"What is it?"
"The child that you receive from the egg that you stole from Serbal has finally awakened. It is confused at his currently making a fuss around here and is trying to know what is going on."
"What is he doing right now?"
"He was currently fascinated to Leona. It looks like this is the first time he has seen a gryphon despite being a race with wings and specialize in flying."
"Bring him out. It would be more comfortable for him to get out of the summons ' area."
"Acknowledged."
In a few seconds, Atlas carried the young angel out of the summons' portal.
"Where are you sending me?!" the voice of the scared angel entered my ears for the first time.
"Don't worry, my master is not a scary person as long as you are not some rare creature or some treasure that is shiny enough that can yield gold when sold.
"The f*ck are you talking about, Atlas? I don't think I am like that."
"Sheesh, alright master if you insist but I will not change my views on you."
Damn, Atlas sees me as a greedy bastard. But I think there is partly a real part of those, I just deny it since I don't go crazy if I found something like that.
The kid went out from the portal and even though he was struggling to escape from Atlas who is currently holding his shirt, he can't overpower the size of Atlas and his grip unless he rips off his clothes which I doubt he will do so.
"Don't bother escaping. If you try escaping, I would simply recall you and you will return to the summons' area."
"You can do that Atlas?"
"Of course Master. Since I used a pseudo method to bring him in, I can control whether he can go out of the summons' area or not. If I needed to do it, I can recall him right here, right now even if you don't give the command."

"Wow, that is scary but that method is indeed good enough."
I approached the angel kid and he slowly backs away from me.
"Hehe, that's right, don't just dare to approach me as I approach you, you should get scared..."
"Master, your acting is so lame, make a more believable one instead," Atlas commented.
"Shush, Atlas. I am having fun here and you are ruining the fun."
"Wha... who are you... Aren't you human? Aren't humans extinct in this world already?!"
My ears perked up when he said that humans are extinct in this world. As someone who likes the lore in fantasy games and novels, the lore of this world is pretty much expansive. Apparently, a few centuries ago after the great cataclysm that wrecked the whole world caused human existence to be wiped out from the whole world. It was believed by many beings who managed to survive the cataclysm due to how they disappeared after.
I still remember that there were a few elves who have written some books about the fall and rise of the human race after the cataclysm. It was believed at first that the humans have been erased from existence but after a few centuries, the humans appeared again and this time, they came back a lot more developed that allowed the restoration of the human race back in this world.
The other races thought that they are trying to imitate the legacy of the human race but it seems they did not and they were the legitimate human race. It was then revealed to the other races that humanity managed to survive in a hiding underground and kept themselves hidden from the eyes of other races.
It was also revealed that the dwarves helped the humans to restore their former glory after the war, allowing humanity to return to the face of the world with the other races.
So this kid seems to be during the time where all races besides the human race were roaming the face of the world after the great cataclysm. It seems Serbal took this kid during that time and keep him encased in the shell until the time I removed him out of his restraint.
"Times have changed kid. Humans are now back and they are not an extinct species. We are as tough as those random weeds and we refuse to just die. So I am sorry to disappoint but we are not yet dead."
The angel boy was startled by what I just revealed. It must have been a great shock for him if my assumption earlier was indeed correct.
"You are joking, right? Your species are already extinct. I doubt your species will be able to recover after you guys were killed from the cataclysm!"
"Master. I think this kid is yet to be convinced that the humans have returned to the surface after your species were thought to be extinct already."
"Yeah. He is quite stubborn. Please recall him again. He needed time to adapt to his current situation. If you can, you can also educate him a bit, Atlas."
"As you wish," Atlas said and the kid who just woke up was being sucked into the summons' area.
"Wait! Agh! What are you doing?! Let me go!"
He didn't get to fight back even if he keeps his black and white wings flapping to escape from the portal. It sucked him before he can get even a single reaction.
So this situation seems to be going to be a quest a bit later on if he learned the truth about this world.
A few moments later, Dolly logged back in and a bit of an interval later, Hagane and Chase also logged back in.
"Did something happen while we were eating dinner Bladeheart?" Dolly asked.
"Nope, there's nothing happening right now. However, since everyone is here, there is going to be something happening indeed."
"Are we going to proceed with the quest now?" Hagane was excited.
"Yes, we will now begin the journey to the elf folks and finish the quest. Our goal for today is to finish the main quest as soon as possible. We will also need to make sure our quest will be the ideal ending we needed to do. The ending of this quest will also determine the world, so let's do our best and achieve the best conclusion possible."

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Obligate of a Self-Ordained Sorcerer
Come join the Discord! It was a typical late-night friday for Mara, secluded in her apartment in front of a digital expanse, relentlessly mashing code into a keyboard. An introverted workaholic, but this was what she wanted - what she had strived so hard to achieve. So why did she feel so lost? Her life was productive, comfortable, satisfying. Plenty had it worse but she still felt... ungrateful? Stunted? The right word escaped her, but she could feel the general revelation settling upon her. With it came a choice that would set events in motion far beyond the meager scope of a 'New Game+'. So taking an intrusive portal to god-knows-where, Mara will come to find that her new world offers boons and banes with equal abandon. Magic, skills, and unforgiving difficulty. For a frail human shut-in, finding herself stranded in the middle of a sprawling dungeon was one of the least desirable outcomes. Food and water would be the least of her problems, why oh why couldn't she just get summoned by some pervy king to slay a demon army or something? This is a story of magic and adventure with skills and stats galore. A litrpg / isekai epic that I've been inspired to make after years of wonderful works like "So I'm a Spider," "Rimuru the Slime," "Azarinth Healer," "Negima!?," and plethora of other isekai and fantasy novels and animes. Special shout-out to Douglas Adams, a big influence on narative humor that's had a non-insignificant effect on my writing style. I hope you enjoy joining Mara on her journey as I attempt to scratch the itch they left behind.Chapters target 3-6k~ words. Though I'm personally aiming for a chapter every couple weeks, I think I can at least promise one a month with how busy work's been. I made a Patreon due to requests, if you'd like to support me there I'll be using it to fund artwork and RR ads for increased exposure.

On the alien, hostile world of Deana, Taro is tasked with dealing a mortal blow to an enemy that has pursued the last dregs of the human species across light years. From the Wild Summer hyper-carrier, Taro must strike out at an enemy that seems like it would stop at absolutely nothing to ensure humanity's time in the universe draws to an end. The key to it all is Valerie, a human bred super-weapon, and the discovery she makes aboard the enemy craft Delirium. What to expect from Edge of the Storm: You will find here a slow burning story that is punctured by moments of high flying action, intense mecha battles, gory hand-to-hand combat, tough decisions and sacrifices. What you won't find are black and white morals, harems, cute girls, big boobs, or anything else that might bring me troves of readers. You have been warned. Update schedule: Saturdays (and maybe Wednesdays).

The watcher of universe and stuff.
The most devastating thing to an eternal being must be boredom. If nothing can change you, how can you yourself change? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way. I should point out that there are multiple lead characters and they will all have their own personalities and motivations. While the story will focus more on our MC Trey, you can expect multiple POV switches. If you do not like POV switches, this might not be for you. My first book. If anyone will ever read this, be so kind as to leave a comment. Even, if all you say is an insult. As long as I can improve this work by your comment, it's all fine. One thing’s for sure. I will keep writing as if my reader can handle curse words without curling into a little ball and repeatedly saying: "Leave my safe-space alone, you monster". Therefore, you can expect some profanity.
