《Rise of the White Dragon 》Chapter 234: Past – Part 1

"Understand, Ingrid, there are many clans, and they accept all kinds of people, all so that by a miracle they are strong, even though they are collectively weak. Only the bigger clans will accept strong people, and this clan of his must be among the top 100, but only from the Empire from the earth. He just didn't say that because he wanted to make it sound more important. Didn't he see that he was a bit narcissistic, and thought the girl was a fool not to be with him?" Luan explained.
"It makes sense," Ingrid nodded.
"Anyway, turn this monster into credits," Luan said.
"But I'm hungry," Ingrid complained, intending for Luan to dismantle it and they start cooking the tiger.
"I brought meat in one of the rings, don't worry," Luan said.
"Oh, fine then." She walked over and placed her hand on the tiger's back.
[Turn [Bull] into 51 credits?]
'Yes,' Ingrid said mentally.
The tiger turned into particles of light and disappeared.
"Mm, this looks like a game," Ingrid commented.
"From a certain point of view, it is a game," Luan said. "If you die, you don't really die, and the monsters turn into credits that you can exchange for items in a shop. The only difference is that when we return to our world, it won't be worth the same thing. It can be said that this tower is the greatest way to strengthen and survive in our world. After all, the monsters here evolved very fast."
"Is everyone like that?" Ingrid asked.
"No, those who lost their worlds and were trapped here cannot die. If they die, it's final," Luan said.
"Lost their world?" Ingrid was once again confused and scared at the same time.

"Many lose to monsters and end up losing their world and end up running away to the tower and living in the tower. Those who are born in the tower, their Origin is in the tower. It's like having a save point in the game, but they, in this case, don't have that privilege," Luan said.
"... I understand." Ingrid sighed as she digested the new information she had gained.
Suddenly Ingrid asked, "Luan, did you get this information from your past life?"
"Yes and no." Luan sighed and closed his eyes. Staring at Ingrid, he said, "Let's go over there. I need to tell you something." He pointed to a large rock. It was enough for them to sit down.
"Ingrid, actually I'm from the future, I'm sorry for lying," Luan apologized.
"Wait, from the future, really?" Ingrid was scared.
"Yes, and a lot of things happened in the future that I wanted to forget, and I couldn't explain how I knew what I knew, so I made up memories from the past," Luan sighed.
"How many years in the future are we talking about?" Ingrid tried to remain calm.
"Almost a thousand years," Luan said, "I experienced many things that I wanted to forget..."
"But then, are you a thousand years old or 18 years old?" Ingrid asked.
"Actually, the thousand years feels more like something I received, something that happened and didn't happen. Most of the thousand-year feelings I felt, I don't feel, nor the arrogance I once had for arriving in the Sixth Order and almost reaching the Seventh Order..."
"Almost, why did you die at that point?" Ingrid interrupted.
"I was killed, betrayed by someone I trusted while moving to the Seventh Order," Luan said with a forced smile.

"... This person, did they go back in time as well?" Since he went back in time, she figured so.
"No, they didn't. Somehow she just disappeared. It even seems like a lie that she ever existed. But I remember well, she existed, and thinking about it, she taught me a lot of things and helped me get stronger until I got to the Seventh Order and she killed me while I was going through the Seventh Order," Luan explained.
"Maybe she's not from our world, so she doesn't exist?" Ingrid still managed to remain rational.
"That..." Luan didn't even think about it, because it should have been impossible, right? After all, you can't take another person from another world to your own world. "A Parasite?"
"A what?" Ingrid asked.
"There was a race of Parasites... She could have been one and entered the body of someone from our world and invaded our world. But why did she train me and kill me?" That's what he didn't understand.
"Isn't it simple? She wanted your body," Ingrid said.
"My body... Yin body... She always talked about how special it was and even gave me a technique that made me impotent. Was it all for the purpose of stealing my body in the future?" Luan was a little scared and angry at the same time.
"Had you been impotent for nearly a thousand years?" Ingrid didn't know why, but she was happy when she heard it.
"Yes... That's why I never got to date anyone. At most, it was girls wanting to be with me, but how would that work? She told me that if I made it to the Seventh Order, I could go back... Well, you understand," Luan said.
"Haha, seriously, you've been tricked for almost a thousand years by her, all to transform into a perfect body for her. This is kind of funny, but well, at least you've come back with the memories of everything, and now you can have a fresh start, right?" Ingrid was incredibly unaffected by the fact that Luan lived nearly a thousand years through the future.
She would be affected if he had had sex with other women and dated other women before, but since he was impotent, she was somehow okay?
Ingrid asked, "The case of the elf that appeared in the girl's life, did you already know that would happen?"
"Yes, he was the one who killed and ate my mother and Ingrid alive." Luan's eyes showed a little fury, but he returned to normal as he remembered what he had done to Lazarus.
"Oh... You must have suffered a lot." Ingrid felt sorry for him. She hugged him and was silent.

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.

Crimson Pervert
Markus gets - quite literally - thrown into an RPG Fantasy world. Casually gaining game-breakingly great power is the very first thing of course, but afterwards travelling the world, building a harem and having plain fun is on the agenda. Note: No room to hide the fact that this is heavily inspired by the "Death March" web novel. I will give it my own touch by not having a Japanese-ish main character (Japan is cool and everything, but why have a harem if you never ever do something "H" with them?). Everything (characters, story, etc) is basically my creation, but I consider it a re-think of the original, so I can neither call it an "Original" nor a "Fan Fic". Don't expect it to be overly innovative. I will add an 18+ warning as soon as something like that happens, the first chapter just has a bit of undramatic blood. Comments welcome.

Regarding The Life of A Certain Fallen Noble
.. ...Every paths leads to the same destination... Five Saints, five Kings, seven Sins. One entire plane in agony. ..Chaos must reign... In days long past, several Mage Kings cut a path of destruction everywhere they went. Cruel experimentation, the creation of monstrous creatures, the tearing apart of families and mass genocide...There were few crimes the mad Mage Kings didn't commit. As the Five Saints were summoned in desperation by the races of the world, everything was already at it's darkest hour. When the fighting was over, when the Mage Kings were gone and the Five Saints had returned to their planet of origin, a World Council was erected to keep the the delicate balance from falling apart. Many eras pass. Lyle Greyborne. Current heir to the powerful Greyborne family, the only son of Adarian and Alyssa Greyborne. With the maroon hair of his Greyborne ancestory and the exceedingly rare golden eyes of his mother's Bathory clan, Lyle's talents can only be described as terrifying. These, along with his personal status, make him desired by many. After a young Lyle begins a relationship with one Sophia Alderton, two years pass by. Then a lack of trust coupled with a certain misunderstanding leave the two estranged and left on a sour note. But Lyle even still retains his friendship with Cecelia, Sophia's sister. With Cecelia, his loving sister Iris and Melanie--A young woman who recieved his aid some time ago--Lyle is content to pass the days in peace and idleness. Well, when he's not completing harsh missions from his combat instructor, that is. But this peace is ruined when Lyle's father tells of a mysterious group hell-bent on causing war between the human and demon continents. Later, when his father involves him and his sister in an incident resulting in Iris being put in mortal danger, Lyle makes a decision which could very well cost him not his life... but instead his soul. His status, his loved ones, his dignity as a human being... All these may soon be lost. His life isn't his own. Not anymore. He can only brace himself for the things to come and hope he makes it out with his sanity intact. ******************* EDIT- Author Note: Another thing, the cover photo is not mine. Obviously. It's just a picture I found one day at DeviantArt and thought that the two shown in the picture looked like how I imagined Lyle and another character to be. Simply put, it was convenient in various way and I also loved the art. From my understanding is is from a collaboration between artists Chocobikies and Pinlin. Here is a link to where I found the original http://pinlin.deviantart.com/art/Linked-456655669
