Stunned the tiger asked. "You would do that?"
"Of course, my words are not empty you know. I want us to be together but if you want to leave that is your choice as well. I will not hold names or other things over you."
"We will agree to that contract, so long as you name us and our child."
"Really, I would love to do that. However I do not think I can name the child until it is born but I will try." Yueliang said.
"Then please bestow names on us then, my king." The male tiger said as he bowed.
"I name you..." Yue said as he fell over and passed out.
---- A Few Hours Later At Sunrise ----
"Master you are finally awake, phew, I had to use 10 years of life to supplement the naming of such creatures. I am sorry, I should have warned you that you were still too weak. Fortunately I was still able to save you." Yang said.
"Well, I still have to name 6 ,000 Sky Orcs, and 24 Goblins later. I guess I really need to solve this quickly. Could you tell me what is the main insufficient stat is?" Yue asked, while thinking about the reward he wanted to give his subordinates.
"Well, that would mainly be soul, and if high enough you do not have to raise your cultivation as well. Although in order to get all your subordinates soul would have to hit 600, although if you do them one at a time, you do not have to worry as much. Next time I will warn you as well." Yang replied.
"Alright, so in order to reward everyone, I have to get to 600 on my soul stat. Either way, I look forward to seeing what these tigers become, also can you tell me did I end up getting to name them all? Speaking of which where are they?"
"Well, about their current location, I think they are out getting breakfast. Also I will help you remember. just give me a moment." Yang said as he played the memory back as a short film for Yueliang.
--- Beginning of Memory ---
Stunned the tiger asked. "You would do that?"
"Of course, my words are not empty you know. I want us to be together but if you want to leave that is your choice as well. I will not hold names or other things over you."
"We will agree to that contract, so long as you name us and our child."
"Really, I would love to do that. However I do not think I can name the child until it is born but I will try." Yueliang said.

"Then please bestow names on us then, my king." The male tiger said as he bowed.
"I name you..." Yue said as he passed out standing up barely standing.
"I name you Shen Hu. In my tongue it means divine tiger."
"I accept" Shen Hu said as he passed out and his body started changing.
"For the female tiger, Huoli."
"I accept my king." She said as she passed out as well.
"Last but not least the baby, Xiao Jiahuo." Yueliang said as he reached his hand over the baby in the tigers stomach.
--- End Of Memory ---
"I see, so that is how everything worked out. I am glad that I was able to name all three. Hopefully they are enjoying there upgrade so to speak."
"Considering how rare it is for one to be named, I am sure they are extremely happy." Yang responded.
'Oh look, here they come.' Yue thought to himself as they were walking towards him.
"Hello my king, I am Shen Hu." The male tiger said while bowing with the right front leg bent, and left front leg extended.
"Hello my king, I am Huoli. Thank you for naming our child." The female tiger said while bowing the same way.
"I am glad to see you both doing well. By the way, you look pretty much the same. Did the naming fail or change something else?" Yue asked curiously.
Shen Hu replied. "The naming, has made our vitality stronger, allowing us to become stronger than we are. Then it also gave us new abilities, one such being that we can now take on a human form, however we will maintain our animal ears and tail in that form."
"That seems pretty interesting. I just figured you would grow new limbs or turn into some thing else." Yue said intrigued and kind of jokingly.
"Please do not joke about such things. I am sure you are already aware, however I will tell you just in case. There are five legendary creatures, we will start from the last on the list to the top: Black warrior of the north (turtle with snake), then Azure dragon of the east, vermillion bird of the east (pheonix), white tiger of the west, and finally golden dragon at the center (king of dragons). Basically the vermilion bird follows and helps the king of dragons, the turtle and snake wander, the azure dragon is the protector, the white tiger is power, however the golden dragon is fortune and power. These are the roots of the most powerful creature, hence what we are aiming to become." Shen Hu responded calmly.
"I see, so is it true that the white tiger and golden dragon often fought for dominance?" Yue asked.

"Not quite, the white tiger they just had fights over how they should rule." Huoli replied.
"Well either way, shall we complete our deal my friends?"
"Alright, you certainly kept your end, so too shall we." Shen Hu replied then reached out his big and heavy paw towards Yu's hand to begin the contract of subordination.
Yueliang and Shen Hu held each others paw/ hand, waiting for Huoli to join as well. As soon as Huoli joined, the three began using mana to make a contract to bind them together as master and servants. After about 15 minutes they finished writing it all, and it manifested, surprising the tigers.
After dealing with their surprise, Shen Hu then asked. "What do you want us to do now?"
Yue just said a few sentences in reply. "Live happily, and if you want something to do, help out around here. Find something you like and enjoy it, in the end I am sure you will find someway or reason to help out. You do not have to change your life just because you joined me."
"Alright, we will look around and see what we can do." Huoli and Shen Hu replied.
"When you come back later, let me know how you would like your home designed. After that we can go out and have fun together my friends." Yue said excitedly.
"Sounds fun, looking forward to it my friend." Shen Hu said, then they turned and left.
Yueliang thought to himself while they were leaving. 'Status'

'This seems much better, and I can feel myself growing a lot. It seems 100 is a mile marker where you have a boost in stats. Well, in the mean time, oh right I have not yet stocked the stores. Yang I need you to fill up each of the stores, and create a pricing system so that I will not be wasting my life and points, but is still proper pricing. I really should start doing auctions later. I will speak to the king soon. Also, how many shops are there. Thank you so much.' Yueliang thought, then Yang replied.
"This is not too difficult so 150 ,000 shop coins, and everything will be taken care of, although 75,000 of that was for the registers and enchantments to keep people from being able to steal from us. Your welcome by the way. Also to answer your question there are 40 inns / taverns as they are connected buildings, 4 blacksmith shops, 4 alchemist shops, 10 grocery stores, 20 restaurants, 1 major auction house, 2 minor ones, 60 shops as vender locations in the bazaar area, however that has not yet been filled so 141 shops if you count the inns and taverns together or it would be 181 not counting the research facilities you designed for the Sky Orcs."
"Thank you for getting that done, I will now call the Orcs to start manning the businesses." Yue said aloud as he summoned 600 Sky Orcs.
"Good morning everyone, I apologize for waking you all, however the shops have now been filled. As I am sure you have noticed, you also now have beds, showers, and everything else, I hope you are enjoying them. Either way, I would like for you to split in half, and every other day you swap in taking care of the shops, so that you may rest, research, or have fun doing other things.
Sorry to place so much work on you, however the sooner we get everything we need, the sooner we can leave to explore the universe. Do not worry everything is priced all you have to do is scan it. Although the auction house will not be used yet, so just let anyone who comes know they can have a letter of credit, however in the mean time, we have to wait until the auction house is funded." Yueliang declared to them.
All the Sky Orcs smiled and got to work. They were please that he was so kind to them, and even gave them time to continue their research.
As Yue watched them leave, he started heading to where the king and his knights were to see them about some matters.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
