《System Descendant: Awakening》21B
Advertisement
Two minor fights later, without any serious effort, the warrior bots had caught back up with the wagon. Lucas, Ralph, and Brandy promptly loaded the Mining bots into the carts and tried to take off.
The cart failed to go any faster than when the miners themselves had been pulling it.
“Domain dang it!” shouted Ralph. “This should have worked.”
If I may interject, I was afraid of this, the max speed of the Mining bots is system enforced and thus transitive. If you load them onto anything, their speed transfers to the object carrying them.
The remainder of the day followed mostly followed the same formula. The three warrior bots would be at the front and would catch any ambushes, letting a few out at a time, Ralph would tank whatever got past, Lucas would quickly eliminate them, and Brandy would keep them from getting too injured.
Stopping on the shores of a lake, Lucas decided it was time to make camp for the night. “Well, we made it most of the way to the mountain today. I think we can make it the rest of the way tomorrow. Rose, please keep an ear out regarding your bots. Yell in our ears if we need to wake up.”
Grabbing some blankets from out of the wagon, which was now covered in wolf fur, Lucas, Brandy, and Ralph settled down for the night.
The night passed surprisingly uneventfully for Lucas. Considering their proximity to U.S. 31 which had been described as an extremely dangerous place and the wandering monsters that they had cleared out before camping, Lucas had expected to be woken at least once or twice to fight.
As he got up and looked around, Lucas realized that it hadn’t quite been as uneventful as he thought.

“Rose, why is there a pile of bodies nearby that wasn’t there when I went to sleep? And why does it appear that one of your Robots has been beaten to kingdom come?”
Ummm… Can we just say I was practicing?
“No,” said Lucas firmly.
Can we say that I wanted to let you have your sleep?
“No.”
Can we say I was bored and wanted to play with my toys? I would have woken you up had it gotten really bad.
“Yes, we can say that. But in the meantime you have a broken warrior bot,” replied Lucas
It gives us a perfect opportunity to do a test. Just humor me in this, but cast cleanse on a working warrior bot and then cleanse on the one that’s been beaten up.
“Cleanse!” was heard and then a moment later, “Cleanse!” was heard again as Lucas complied with Rose’s request.
It seems the system does not allow cleanse to repair my robots. They must not be covered under cleanse for some reason. Oh well, it was worth a shot. Brandy, be a dear and cast Minor Flesh Wound on the bot a couple times, please.
As Brandy cast the spells, the robot’s parts came together. After a few moments, it was a fully operational Robot.
Great! Now we know how to heal my robots. I’m going to count this as a win.
“I’m going to count this as you going off-script Rose. Seriously, if you had been overwhelmed, we would have been in trouble,” lectured Lucas.
They started out one by one. And I was getting a trickle of EXP. I’ve now got enough to unlock both the Dungeon Shield and Dungeon Teleporting with some leftover. Not a lot mind you. I’m planning on picking up either Solid Projections or a loot level as soon as I can.

“I’ve only got one more question then. You acted rashly, but you did need to learn what your robots could do. What are we going to do with the bodies? Brandy, Ralph and I did not participate in the kills. We can’t loot them.”
I do need raw material for my cats… Let me try something.
As the team watched, one of the warrior bots walked over to the pile of dead… things. Through all of the Comlinks, the team heard Rose say, Loot. Followed swiftly by a Woo-hoo it worked!
“Let me guess, you were able to loot the monsters all the way from your dungeon?” questioned Lucas.
Yup! I can loot from here… My minions will have to come back before I can access the loot, but… they are now carrying it… somewhere. No idea where. It shows up in my inventory, but I can’t access it.
Packing up the bedding, grabbing a ration, the team moved out. Another few hours later, with a few more skirmishes, and they had arrived at the bottom of the mountain. It was even more evident as they approached that it was an artificial mountain. There were no hills around it. It sprung up at the side of the lake in the middle of a broad flat area.
The team was quiet as they climbed the path the villagers had carved up the side of the mountain to the entrance. As evening rolled around the team crossed the entrance to the mine. Once they did, everyone, including Rose received one notification. The team that was physically present received a second notification.
Brandy quickly had a question. “Rose, honey, what can I use DKP for?”

The Amazing Sidekick
Jack Snyder died on Earth during a car accident. Time went by, and he heard a girl’s voice calling Nozomu Shinchaku. Jack slowly opened his eyes and an unknown girl was crying in front of him, but everything about her was wrong. Long blue hair, yellow eyes, cat ears instead of normal Human ears. Jack glanced at her hand and saw sharp and long fingernails caressing his face. A fluffy blue tail was trembling behind her, signalling her worries. Jack saw a pool of blood on the ground near a rock, and he had a big bandage on his head. Strangely, his soul travelled to a young boy’s body, that judging by the pool of blood, died because of that rock. Now, he has to learn how to live in a strange Magical World as the Human teenager Nozomu Shinchaku that strangely can’t use Magic, and Magic has no effect on him. . “Definition of sidekick: - A sidekick is someone who goes with the main lead on their adventures. If he is a superhero, the sidekick helps fight crime. Sometimes this word signifies an imbalance of power, and it implies that the sidekick is less powerful than the main lead. - Sidekick is one of the most effective forms of attack in a street fight. Hard kicks especially to the knee can take a larger opponent down or at least blow out his balance, leaving him vulnerable to follow-up shots.” *I intend on keeping this story free till it's finished.*

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!

Conquest of Avalon
Revenge. The Kingdom of Avalon swept across the Empire of the Fox a generation past, conquering the heartlands and leaving the broken remnants to stew in the island duchy of Guerron. This isn't a story of Good versus Evil, of kindly kings doing their best to lift all subjects, or of unvarnished heroes doing battle against evil. Instead, this story is about power: who has it, who wants it, and what people will do to obtain it. It is about the violence inherent in the imperial project and how even the most well-intentioned rulers and conquerors are, still, engaging in systemic violence against those conquered and defeated. Our three point-of-view characters are a peasant turned fire wizard, an excitable duelist with more enthusiasm than sense, and a scheming mage-priestess bent on reclaiming her family's birthright and waging war on the foreign oppressors who rule her home... no matter the cost in blood or treasure.
