Advertisement
Julian is getting ready to go to Fuchsia city, he has finished all his preparation as he hops on his bike and rides off towards the city, after six hours of riding dis he finally reach the city.
Julian 'It's good that I left early in the morning to arrive just in time, or I would have arrived at evening, I should first visit the pokemon center then go and refill my stocks'
Julian rides towards the pokemon center and he reaches there to find the place was crowded
Julian 'today is a busy day in the center and from the looks of it I won't be able to have my gym battle today, well I don't have a problem, from what I remember the gym is in the forest nearby and on the way, there are many traps lying around'
Julian walks towards Nurse Joy
Julian "Nurse Joy I would like you to do some health check on my pokemons"
Nurse Joy "Sure, Chansey take these Pokeball inside and I will come to check them letter"
Chansey nods and takes the pokeballs inside
Nurse Joy "I would like you to come after some time as we are very busy now and won't be able to do a health checkup right now"
Julian "I understand." He says and walks out of the center
Julian ' let's go to the market and fill up my stocks, my pokemons are eating a lot nowadays so I have to prepare more food for them'
Julian walks around the market and buys the things he needs while walking around he sees a girl wearing a ninja outfit carrying a bag on her hand and jumping from one building to another and disappearing into the forest.
Julian 'Wait I know this girl she is Aya, gym leader Koga's sister, what a surprise I didn't think I would see her before reaching the forest'

Julian heads back to the pokemon center and rents a room to rest for a while, he walks into the room and starts to meditate to calm his mind, after meditating he goes to Nurse Joy to take back his pokemons, he walks towards the pokemon centers backyard and calls out Ivysaur and Heatran
Julian "So tomorrow both of you will be battling, both of you will fight one round, Ivysaur will go first then Heatran, your guys don't have to worry about tomorrows opponent as they are poison types and they won't affect you"
Both Ivysaur and Heatran nods their head understanding and starts to work out their defense and speed as their attacks have become very powerful.
As the day passes Julian head off towards the gym early in the morning as he reaches the forest he started to search for clues and tracks which leads to the gym as it is hidden very deep in the forest.
Julian 'searching for tracks is very tough, unlike that brat ash who just stumbles into anything and find his way I have to search for actual clues'
After searching for a while Julian finds some tracks, some footprints, and some broken branches, as Julian gets near and near the gym, he is followed by Aya and her Venonat, of course, Julian notices her but didn't mind as he is very near the gym a group of Voltorb comes crashing down from a tree but Julian dodges them easily and escapes their electric attacks, just like these Voltorb traps he was exposed to many other traps such as pitfalls, flying shuriken and other traps but Julian escapes them easily due to his fast reflex and great ability.
Aya who was following Julian was shocked by how easily he dodged all the traps even she won't be able to do them without knowing the coordinates of the traps.

Julian 'these traps even though look scary cannot cause serious injuries to people as they are placed in a very special way so that whoever trips them doesn't die, but still to place these traps everywhere what are they thinking, do they think that every person who comes to challenge them are ninjas and whats with her always following me around the whole forest like a stalker'.
Julian after escaping many traps finally reaches the gym, the gym looks like a traditional martial arts school as the whole building is constructed with wood, as he enters the facility he sees a pond and some trees near it and nothing else, seeing that the gym leader was still hiding and didn't want to come out he started to walk towards the gate but he was suddenly blocked by Aya she had dark green hair color and was wearing a purple ninja style dress with net-like structure covering her arms.
Julian "looks like the stalker who was following me the whole time finally decided to show up"
Hearing Julian call her a stalker she becomes dumbfounded
Aya "Are you talking about me"
Julian "Who else, weren't you the one who was jumping from a tree t anther stalking me this whole time while I was in the forest"
Aya gets shocked that she was noticed by Julian even after she made no noise while spying on him
Aya "How did you find out"
Julian "Well even if you didn't make a sound while jumping from one tree to another stalking me, I could still see your shadow which sometimes was projected on the ground anyone would be able to notice you unless he/she is a fool"
Aya "I wasn't stalking you I was spying on you"
Julian "Spying is only possible when someone asks you to spy on someone, where you asked by someone to spy on me?"
Aya couldn't find an answer to it as she did it with her own interest, Julian, on the other hand, was enjoying teasing this girl.
Julian "I take that as a no from your silence, which means you were stalking me from the time I entered the forest"
Aya was really embarrassed and didn't feel like talking so she simply tossed this topic to the side.
Aya "I don't care what you think, but if you are here to challenge the gym you have to defeat me first, go Venonat"
Julian "Ok then I don't have time to waste, go Pidgeotto"
Aya "Using your Pidgeotto won't help you win this battle, Venonat use stun spore"
Julian "Pidgeotto just fly up and use air cutter"
Pidgeotto flew high in the air as the stun spore didn't even reach him then he sent a barrage of multiple air cutters at Venonat, after getting hit by several air cutters Venonat just fainted on the spot
Julian "See now that you are defeated I will be challenging the gym leader"
Julian walks past Aya who is still in a trance after being defeated so easily, he goes in front of the door and slides it open to see a middle-aged man with spiky black hair waiting in the battlefield with a serious expression, he was Koga the Gym leader of the Fuchsia gym.
Koga "Looks like you have defeated my sister very easily, it been a long time since I have fought a strong opponent"
Julian "I am Julian and I am here to challenge you to a gym battle".

New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM? This story is intentionally told under the username TitusGM because the idea is that he was the one actually writing everything down what happened after it all is over. I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out. If you want an in character response to a comment, simply prefix it with IC: (I also try to leave that as a reminder in the author's note after each new chapter) Cover art? Made by a friend who shall remain nameless at this time by his request

Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!
