Life Drain System Chapter 40
Advertisement
As Yue watched them leave, he started heading to where the king and his knights were to see them about some matters.
Yue while walking towards their inn, thought. 'I guess I should probably go to the capital with the King Uther and his men. This would allow me to know where the capital is, as well as solve some of our problems. However the main question is how to advertise our town to merchants?' He thought as he arrived in front of the building.
Just as Yueliang was about to open the door, he jumped to the side sensing something from the other side. When Yue landed, he saw someone fly through the door and into the street wondering. "What in the world are those people doing in there?"
As if to answer his question someone came out and said. "I told you, you were not as strong as me. This is why we should not arm wrestle."
Hearing this, Yue wondered. 'How is it possible to send someone flying by arm wrestling. Either way, it seems that I need to make an arena or two here or things will be problematic. Seeing people flying could deter customers if it is not in an arena.'
The man who sent the other one flying, was a knight in training as one could tell from his apparel. He walked over and offered to help up the cavalry soldier with his hand outstretched. As they clasped each others hands, the knight in training tried pulling up the cavalry soldier to no avail. Then he asked aloud. "Alright, seriously, could you cut out the magic?"
Hearing this, many of the crowd watching just laughed because he seemed so strong yet could not beat the spell. Shortly after, one of the mage stopped the spell, and everyone got back to getting ready to leave the town. At this moment, Yueliang came out and asked. "Where is the king? I have some things to talk about." He asked one of the soldiers, and was led to the kings room where two knights where standing guard out side the room.
Knock. Knock. Knock. "Milord, Yueliang is here to see you." One of the two knights said.
"Let him in." The king responded.
"Thank you." Yue said as he proceeded into the room.
"What have you come for?" King Uther asked.
"Well, I have come to discuss a few matter."

"I see, also, we have yet to discuss the matter of payment for the Hover Motorcycles."
"Quite so. However before that, I would like to discuss the matter of promoting my town." Yue replied.
"Of course, well, to begin with, you can find most of the merchants in the capital holed up out side the city wall if they come around dark. Thus you could meet with them there, and start promoting your town and products."
"Thank you for the advice. Hmm, what do you charge for horses? Also what is your currency?"
"Depending on the type and health of the horse, normally if of decent status, then 20 large silver minimum starting price. The only way it goes cheaper is if it is sick or something. Our currency goes 100 small copper is 1 large copper, 100 large copper is 1 small silver, 100 small silver to 1 large silver, 100 large silver to 1 small gold, 100 small gold to 1 large gold, and 100 large gold to 1 platinum. However to further answer your question, for 10 small copper you can buy a small loaf of bread." King Uther replied to Yue's questions.
"Hmm, then 2 small gold per hover motorcycle, seems fair. What do you think? I mean as long as these are well taken care of, and you have fuel, they will last far longer than a horse, unless your horses are immortal haha." Yue said.
"Well, actually our horses may not normally become immortal, however they can live a century or two as long as they are raised right easily. Thus unless your motorcycles can live that long, I think the price should be lowered, don't you?"
"Hmm, in my world horses only lived 20 - 30 years most of the time. My apologies, I did not mean to extort you."
"Of course not, and clearly there are somethings different from your world and ours aside from technological advancements."
"Thank you for understanding, how about 5 large silvers. The cheaper price should attract more people right. Also unlike a living being these will be more difficult to break, as long as you are not shooting it. However I will add enchantments to it to have auto repair and protection from projectiles."
"You know the automatic repair enchantment? That has been long lost to us. What do you want for it?"
"Well, how about we discus that later, as it requires a lot of study?"

"Alright, it is a promise. Also, if you have that enchantment it seems it would be worth the 2 small gold, as it would always fix itself so long as the whole thing is not dismantled." King Uther said excitedly.
"Really, hmm, well it probably would be more popular among the nobles, then for non nobles the cheaper price without the enchantment. What do you think?"
"That seems perfect. However what about all the other productions you spoke of?"
"Do not worry, I will give you a menu later, and you may pick what interests you. For now, I wanted to ask. May I travel with you and your people back to the capital and do I need documentation to sell in the capital?"
"Well, traveling with us may not be the best, however you may follow us. As for the matter of documentation, yes, although you can get it at the merchants guild fairly easily. Of course there is also the mages guild, and adventures guild. Each of which is broken into many categories, however you will learn about them once you arrive."
"Hmm, that sounds like fun. I look forward to learning more of this world. In the mean time, would you care to explore my town and see if anything interests you?" Yue asked the king.
"Before that, I have been curious what are you naming your town? It seems wrong to not have a name."
"Hmm, you are right. Then how about 'Xin Qidian', meaning new beginnings?"
"Sounds great, perfect for your new home. Shall we get to seeing your town then?" Uther replied, quite ecstatic to meet someone he could speak on such friendly terms without all the honorifics. Although he did assume that Yueliang must have come from noble origins from his refined actions and words as they spoke.
"Of course." Yueliang replied as they left the building and the walked around exploring each shop, and everything the town had to offer. Yue even explained the purpose for some aspects of the town. Even going through some of the parks to see the beautiful plants and flowers. It was peaceful and fun, eventually they started casually looking at the outer ring of the town. The reason it was more casual was that the outer ring was more designed for farming and animals, however there were still plenty of shops and places to see there as well.
Then the two came across the wolf pen and Yue said. "The reason for the pens, is the taming skill that I have and some of the others in the town are going to learn. However there are more reasons being their fur, and for training for some of our weaker ranks. At your strength it should be easy, but want to give it a shot?"
"Sounds interesting, what do I have to do?" Uther replied.
"Well, no using spells, armor, or weapons, just a bare handed fight against a wolf. I will move it to another pen for you so the others do not join in. All you have to do it kill it if you can." Yue stated then teased him a little at the end.
"Alright, move one over, and you go first to show me how it is done." Uther returned his joke half expecting him to back out.
"Seems like a fun challenge, let us see who can do it faster. We will time it. I will move one over now." Yueliang said surprising Uther. Yue then opened the gate and as the wolves charged at him he grabbed one by the neck with both arms and threw it to the pen that was right next to this one while the wolves tried escaping to attack Yue and get free. The only reason he could throw it so easily with his strength was the momentum from it running toward him was being used in the throw.
Yue then closed the gate, and walked to the next pen to begin his fight. However before walking in he asked Yang in his mind. 'Can you throw up a timer for the two of us?'
"No problem, however it will cost 10 shop coins for the spell to be cast. I will make one for each of you with your names respectively, so 20 shop coins total. Also you now have a quest.

I'm just an 'Ordinary' Human (MCU fanfic)
A guy gets hit by a truck and sent to a fantasy world with less power than your average peasant. (Un)fortunately, he discovered his secret power of Immortality at the hands of the current destroy-the-world inclined Demon Lord and becomes experimental subject #1. After hundreds of years, the Demon Lord is killed and the job of destruction was handed to him. Being not terribly favorably inclined to this fantasy world, he wreaks havoc on the world... Killing sacred beasts, massacring cities with an army of undead, headhunting servants of God, plaguing a whole continent with a deadly virus.But he was still unsatisfied.During an experiment, he accidentally killed himself trying to open a gateway to a new world. And wakes up from his coma in his original world. Except, it isn't his world, exactly. Now there is a man in a metal suit, a 90-years old buff dude with a shield, a muscle head demi-god and other weirdos who formed a team called the ‘Avengers’. None of that matters though, because he is so over all that drama. This life is going to be carefree. Or at least, that's the plan. Note: The 4th wall is thin on this one, so the MC often breaks it. As this is fanfiction, I will make sure to follow the "Fair use" clause of the Copyright law. Please support this on its original website too, Webnovel.

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.
