Advertisement
Well I was surprised to see so many people dislike the last chapter :( well I can't always have great chapters so hopefully you guys will forgive me for that~ Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter more! It's a short one as the last chapter was really long anyways here you go
Until next time Caio Cubs~
"Thank you young man for helping us regulate the [Lil Bunnies]!"
Hydra had soon finished attacking wildly all the [Lil Bunnies] necessary for the quest to be finished but somehow instead of feeling relaxed he was even more stressed. He had hoped that it would be a nice quiet relaxing quest where he could casually skip along from monster to monster while not working very hard.
However after seeing the true form of the [Lil Bunnies] he realized that was just a dream and he was actually required to try if he didn't want to die. The [Lil Bunnies] themselves were level 40 and although Hydra had found a similar leveled monster for once he realized they hide was incredibly thick and with so much for it lessened the impacts of his sword. Thus he could only pucker along as he diminished their health slowly.
Finally he arrived back with Cline, Valeria and Falcon who at this time finally realized that Hydra wanted nothing more than to relax when he opened his mouth at a bad time. Thus he felt somewhat bad for speaking out. Naturally it wasn't Hydra's or Falcon's fault as Hydra had just for the first time wanted to enjoy his first normal quest, while Falcon had just casually commented on the [Lil Bunnies]. However when they both came together it led to Hydra's frustration going over the limit and taking it out on Falcon. Luckily Falcon was a big and strong guy as even though he was stomped numerous and almost infinite amount of times they wounds were nothing more than bruises and were immediately healed after a health pot was given to him.
"What now?"
Cline took the initiative to speak out as he knew the atmosphere was kind of heavy as Hydra's fatigue was reaching its limits. As Hydra had tried incredibly hard to be successful during his time in Yorula he wanted nothing more than to relax and it was then that Falcon saw the perfect chance for Hydra to relax! The best part was there was absolutely no way for it to go wrong either!

"Hydra… um do you like fishing by any chance?"
"Huh? Fishing? I can't say that I have ever tried it. Why do you ask Falcon?"
After noticing where Falcon's gaze lied they all nodded as they soon understood his intentions! There was a sign that read "Fishing for 1 silver Spend the day relaxing as you try and catch these amazing fish!"
"Hydra, seems like fishing would be the best thing for you if you just want to relax!"
"I also think fishing would be good for you… By...Hydra.."
Although Valeria took a second try to call out Hydra's name naturally she still managed to do so in the end. At the same time, Hydra nodded in agreement and called out.
"Let's go fishing!"
---------------------------
Hydra and his companions had walked down the forest pathway and arrived a giant clearing. There existed a beautiful giant lake and although it was a clearing that only applied to the 50 meter area in front of them while the remainder on the outskirts of the lake were trees so tightly compacted it looked like they would tumble into the lake. The lake itself was a beautiful emerald colour that hid the depths of the lake. Although at times Hydra could see shadows swimming about that was about as much as he could see and he knew it was only near that surface that it was possible.
After enjoying the beauty of the area they all walked up to the shack containing all kinds of fishing gear with an elf at the front waiting diligently for customers. When the elf saw customers at last he sprang into action and ran straight forward to them holding in his arms a few fishing poles made from the branches of trees. Although Hydra had no idea what the line was made of he could see that it was durable material although he didn't care much about that and wanted to try fishing out so he waited for the elf to arrive.
"Hello customers! Would you like to try some fishing today?"
"Yes we would!"
Falcon answered.
"Oh Great! It is 1 silver per person!"
"Here! I only need one for now but I will pay for 4!"

Falcon quickly handed out the money and rushed to grab the fishing poles! It was his moment to get back on Hydra's good side! Money? Such a thing was not necessary in the Bread Order! If he could use money that he had just received from the quest and drops of the [Lil Bunnies] he would naturally use it to get on Hydra's good side.
Upon noticing that Falcon had one upped her she was slightly unhappy and squeezed Pan unknowingly, while Pan could only cry out in discontent.
"Aroo!"
At this Valeria worriedly stroked Pan softly to have him forgive her. Of course Pan naturally was satisfied after being pat a few times and fell back asleep. Although Hydra had wished everyone would stop carrying him every where so he could get some drops from Pan, at the same time Hydra didn't think Pan would find anything in town and thus didn't bring up the issue. Not yet anyways!
"Thanks Falcon! I'm sorry about earlier…"
"Please do not worry it was also my fault for not realizing the Lord's problems!"
Hydra indeed did feel bad he knew he was getting overly stressed and he knew that Falcon wasn't truthfully at fault but he couldn't help it as her naturally was a person too. Even though he enjoyed every moment of the game, he was still going full throttle every moment he played this game and finally he felt he could enjoy it only to have his hopes crushed. Now however, it didn't seem like anything could go bad so he thanked and apologized to Falcon and rushed over excitedly preparing to attempt his first catch!
At this Falcon, Cline, and Valeria only watched as they themselves were happy just to see Hydrea in a good mood thus they stood together with the Elf and chatted among themselves.
------------
"I feel something!"
Hydra called out, it hadn't been long but it certainly wasn't a short amount of time either as he felt a slight tug on the line!
‘Oh man what's it going to be!'
At this Cline and the rest smiled, as they knew how to fish they knew it wasn't so easy just because you landed a tug! The real part was fighting the fish and successfully catching it! With a simple slip up the fish could get away. Thus they ceased their chatter and watched patiently as Hydra fought the fish.
"It's definitely a big one! I can tell it's so heavy!"
Hydra fought with the fish as the tug-a-war continued between him and the fish at times Hydra felt he would be thrown into the lake and others he felt the fish would just popped out. Although the line distance had not moved in favour for either, it was a battle for the fish's life. But just then as Hydra used the limits of his strength that the resistance gave way and Hydra pulled in the fish! Or that was what Hydra had thought it was until he realized on the end of the line was not a fish but instead it was a pair of boots!
Although this was not what Hydra had expected he immediately identified the boots. Meanwhile Hydra's friends and the elf only stared in pity at Hydra. Truly they felt Hydra was going to be disappointed by not catching a fish and boots instead. Little did they know that nothing was more important to Hydra than loot!
"Identify!"
[Soggy Elfish boots] (Rare)Defense 15Durability 10/30A soggy pair of elvish crafter boots, however while soggy and been soaked for an unknown amount of time, the craftsmanship of these boots have allowed them to keep its original elegance. although it might be impossible to get rid of the water stains at the very least the boots are wearable!
Requirements: Level 30
"YES!"
Hydra made a fist pump action in delight. Meanwhile the rest only looked on in pity. They felt that the fist pump was a sign to encouragement towards better luck next time and they felt Hydra was only calling out as if to improve his mood for the next attempt in fishing. At this the elf spoke out.
"He's a strong man, to pretend to get so excited about finding a pair of boots in a fishing farm. I can admire someone like that!"
Hydra's three companions didn't respond but nodded in agreement!

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.

Magus Gravity
This is about a person who is summoned to a world to be a hero and save the human race from the demons, clich stuff, he will then make decisions that affect all of those around him(I think this is original). Also, he will not get all the """"females"""" out there in the other world and make a big harem that symbolizes how woman are treated as objects. Remember that this story is something I would like to read, and frankly most of the royal road stories are too damn lusty and filled with porn. But there will be some romance here and there since people get married and I need to talk about that too, so that is classed as romance right?
