'Ding!'
'Host.... the system has a few new missions for the host!'
'_'
.
Landon Let out a long sigh... and quickly checked out this mission from his boss.
At this point, what was the point of continuously grumbling about it?
If he did so, then wouldn't he die out of anger, or have a heart attack sooner or later?
He quickly looked at his mission tab and sighed again.
Dammit!... there were 3 new missions waiting for him there.
.
[Side-Mission 8: Within the empire of Terique, the current ruler..... King Michael Parcely is being held captive and poisoned continuously by one of his Concubines.
Her name is Queen Kamara..... and she is also the little sister of Nopline.
Right now, even though Kamara doesn't plan on killing Micheal..... unbeknownst to her, the toxic drug that she keeps giving him will take his life in 2 month's time if he isn't rescued immediately.
And that's where the host comes in.
For this mission, the host has 3 main jobs:
▪Rescue and hide King Micheal away from Kamara and her minions.
▪& Treat King Micheal within Baymard.
Mission Deadline: October 7th, 1026... (1 & half month from now).
Punishment for Failure: 3% of the host's soul pool will be devoured by the system.
P.S...Host needs to rescue and begin treatment on him immediately.
Because if Micheal dies, then the future plans that the heavens had projected out for Terique.... will be all for naught.
And if that happens.... then the host will get some of his Soul Pool sucked out him instead.
So the host should take note.]
.
Landon looked at the first mission and nodded while reading.
Ever since he had transmigrated here, he had realized that in planets or universes that didn't have any sort of magic mystical beings, or heavenly powers to them.... the heavens couldn't directly affect the humans of these regions.

Humans had the right to turn good or turn bad..... and that was the freedom that was given to them by the heavens.
.
So how do the Gods punish, humble or bless the humans in these non-magical worlds?
Simple!
By sending or directing someone to do so.... it could be subconsciously, or unconsciously.
But either way, the job would get done just like how the heavens wanted it to be.
If one wanted a million dollars, it wasn't going to drop down from the sky just like that....
Rather, someone would probably offer a job or position that could allow one to make that sort of money..... or one could get it through donations.
.
Again even at that, it was the individual's choice to use that chance and make money.... or mishandle the opportunity given to him/her.
The heavens generally always sent helping hands and even punishments to several humans in different intervals in their lives.
If one had a penny for how many chances one had to get better, but chose to go with the wrong option.... then most people would be living somewhat comfortably by now.
.
And sometimes, one's karma from the bad things he or she had done in their previous lives.... also played a role in some of the bad things that were happening to them as well.
In this case, only by doing good and accumulating good karma, would they be able to fix these issues.
.
As for things like the weather, floods and so on..... of course the heavens could control these ones to a certain degree as well.
But in general, living things on these planets were left alone to their own choices... and the Gods were the ones who usually sent them with several opportunities for change.
So whether they took the chance or not, was not the faults of the Gods.... but the choices of these humans.

.
For example, the Gods had allowed Landon to make alarm clocks here.... that was a blessing to them.
If an alarm clock rang out and someone chose to sleep in, and later on give a bad impression of themselves at work.... that was their choice.
Again.... if one decided to take in something toxic and harmful after they had been told about the consequences countless times..... then that was their choice as well.
And when they reflect on their sick beds, they would also realize how many times people had come to them with helping hands at that time.
Humans were blessed with that freedom of choice from the heavens.... and the opportunities were given to them more than 10 times on a daily basis.
.
But in cases where one's bad decision could affect the lives of thousands and even millions..... the Gods usually sent someone like Landon to specifically do these tasks.
This time, they were done giving options to these people.
It was either their way, or the highway.
.
'King Michael Parcely...'
Reading through everything, he was shocked that Kamara was Nopline's sister.
The apple really didn't fall far away from the tree.
And to make matters more interesting, Kamara's only son, Lecter Parcely.... was actually the son of king Michael's younger brother, Raul Parcely.
And from what he had just read, Raul had been planning Michael's downfall for more than 15 years now.
'What a patient man!', Landom thought, while also making plans on his next moves.
Sigh..... It looks like very soon, he would be leaving Baymard again.
.
Looking at his punishment for not failing to complete this mission..... Landon was still utterly confused by it all.
'System..... what exactly is my 'Soul Pool'?'
'Answering to host.... it's a pool filled up entirely with the host's soul, that can be strengthened and expanded infinitely.
Host should know that with every passing mission, the host soul pool will get stronger and stronger.
So the host can only advance to the next world if his soul pool gets stronger while staying here.
And only when the soul pool reaches a certain level, will the host also be able to see the Gods.
Because if the host sees the Gods now, the light and heavenly spiritual strength from them.... would instantly kill the host from a Galaxy away, talk less of seeing them face to face.
Of course in addition to that, the host should note that while staying in this world... if the host's soul force doesn't increase due to countless punishments or deductions from the system... then the host will be obliterated on the spot, since he won't be able to advance into the next world.
So host should take note'.
.
Landon listened to the system and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Sure enough, even though he wouldn't get destroyed for not completing this mission..... the system would still obliterate him after sucking out a certain amount of from his soul pool.
''System.... so why didn't you explain it to me previously?'
'This system had assumed that the host was smart enough to guess what it was.
But.... it looks like this system had overestimated the host's intelligence.
Sorry for my negligence host'

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
