《The New Form》Cooking book
Advertisement
Blake remembered what the voice said before. Something about a space to store the treasures that he took. He tried to focus on this space with his eyes closed and it worked. He felt as if his mind was transported to a different place and he could actually see with his eyes closed.
He was standing in the middle of a small room the size of about 3x3 meters that had nothing inside except for the Windrose Seed in the corner. After looking around he noticed a weird thing, there was light in the room but no windows nor any other source of light.
Having checked out the room, Blake flew over and landed on top of the Windrose Seed. When he looked at it a set of information appeared in his mind, [Windrose Seed: Consumable. To bring out the best effect, put it into 1 litre of water and boil it for 15 minutes, add blood of Sand Mouse and carefully stir for 10 minutes before letting it sit for 1 hour, enjoy the meal]
'What the...' Blake thought he was already getting numb to these surprises but this... Is this a recipe? How was he supposed to boil the water? He is a freaking hummingbird!
As if his ability understood what he said, another set of information appeared in his mind, [Another method to fully extract the seed's power is to let it absorb the blood of a Sand Mouse until the seed softens, in this case it will be easy to pierce the outer layer and drink what is inside]
After thinking for a while Blake decided to go with this method. He didn't really have a choice anyway if he didn't want this seed to be useless.
He opened his eyes and found out that he was still sitting on the branch near the river. He quickly soared up and flew along the river, hoping to meet some thirsty mice. Blake wasn't really worried about killing the mouse because while he was a weak beast, he was still a beast unlike the Sand Mouse.

In every aspect he was just like a normal hummingbird except for his beak and claws which were extremely sharp. He could pierce a 2 centimeters thick wooden plank without any problem.
After an hour of flying around he finally spotted a small yellow mouse calmly drinking from the river. It looked just like any other mouse yet a slight luster was emitting from its body.
The moment Blake noticed it he realized that this mouse was not as simple as he thought. He decided to make use of the fact that it wasn't paying attention to attack and so he slowly started creeping forward.

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!
