《Records of the Weakest Emperor》Chapter 6: I'm Coming Back, Las Felipinas
Advertisement
An unknown amount of time passed and Calvin finally woke up.
The first thing that his eyes saw upon waking up was an unfamiliar ceiling.
However, the ceiling had decorations that one could consider as luxurious.
This didn't seem to be the underground laboratory of Fivecent.
'This looks more like a hotel...'
Calvin inwardly uttered.
He raised his upper body and then confirmed that yep...
He was inside a hotel.
Waterback Hotel, a five-star hotel within the City of Dabao. Judging from the size of the room he was in and the lavish decorations that involved real gold and silver. His room must be the most expensive suite in this Waterback Hotel.
'Wheeew... They sure don't hold back towards making sure that their future slaves will be loyal to them in the future, eh?'
Calvin shook his head and lightly chuckled.
He then turned to look at the nearby table and found that there was a golden envelope along with a blindfold lying on top of the table.
Calvin lifted a small smile.
He approached the table and carefully opened the letter.
Mabuhay!
We would like to offer our gratitude to you for accepting our contract invitation to Las Felipinas, an unknown and foreign world connected to ours!
Las Felipinas is a world only available for the chosen few.
This is a world full of adventures! Magic, dragons, elves, everything that you can think of as fantasy exists within the world of Las Felipinas!
Attached within this letter are the complete instructions on how the contracted can enter the world of Las Felipinas!
* Instructions: Please search for an apartment building with thirteen floors in the City of Davao! After finding the appropriate building, please enter the staircase at exactly 3 am. The moment you step a single foot onto the stairs, you must close both of your eyes... *

* Climb from the first floor to the top floor with your eyes closed and when you've done everything according to these instructions. The moment you open your eyes, you'll find yourself in the world of Las Felipinas! *
* WARNING: Only the contracted can attempt this. You must never open your eyes before you reach the top floor. No matter what happens. No matter what you feel, touch, hear or smell. You must not open your eyes or you'll be immediately killed by the abyss! *
* Hint: One can fight back against the Abyss of the Crack. But one must never open their eyes before reaching the top! *
Good luck, contracted!
See you at the land where dreams come true and die out!
Peace!
"Pfft!" Calvin almost busted his guts upon seeing the comical ending of the letter.
However, he wasn't the least surprised about the instructions. He had undergone this test of courage back then. The participants were not allowed to open their eyes for the demons behind the crack, possibly tamed by Fivecent would stalk the participants and test their nerves and grit.
Although these actions of Fivecent seemed counter-intuitive. What they were doing was correct for Calvin at least. if one wanted to enter the world of Las Felipinas. They must not be weak. Even a mere cannon-fodder had their own standards. In short, if one couldn't even pass this test of courage, then they don't even deserve to be cannon-fodders.
Calvin suddenly gave a bitter smile.
Back then, he pissed his pants from the fear of being surrounded by those demons and as a result.
He was thoroughly mocked by his fellow cannon-fodders.
But today, everything would be different.
Now that he knew what was to happen, Calvin was prepared.
And he also didn't plan to just casually scale the stairs!

If those demons actually dared to approach him, then they would face his fists!
Calvin's eyes shone in excitement.
He almost couldn't wait until 3 AM arrived.
Of course, having prior knowledge of the world. Calvin knew where that appropriate apartment building was located. In other words, he now had nothing to do apart from lay down and wait until the right time arrived.
"Man, I'm feeling bored."
"I can't execute any of my plans until I get to Las Felipinas."
Calvin sat upright and swept his gaze across the surroundings. His eyes came to a sudden halt for he saw a complimentary pen and small notebook lying on another desk in his presidential suite.
"Paper and pen!"
He almost leaped out of his bed from excitement.
He took the small notebook and pen and then he started writing.
He scribbled some words, it didn't matter if they made sense or not. As long as he could satisfy the craving, the itching that he had for writing then he planned on going to any lengths. He wrote about everything that he could, the challenge that he faced back then while fighting against the invaders, to mundane things such as how to change a light bulb.
'Why did the chicken cross the road?'
'To get to where the retard lives.'
'Knock, knock...'
'Who's there?'
'The chicken.'
"Pfft! Did I just call myself a retard?"
Calvin almost busted his guts once again as he hurriedly scribbled over the chicken joke that he wrote.
Staring at the small notebook that was almost full of gibberish at this moment. Calvin felt inexplicably peaceful. Ever since he became the great traitor of Humanity, he never had any friends once again. The invaders only looked at him like he was a tool and every fellow human that he met treated him with utmost disgust.
Part of the reason why Calvin managed to stay sane was because of his writings...
It didn't matter what he wrote, as long as he was writing...
Calvin felt that it was cathartic.
Back then...
He greatly hated the fact that he acquired the so-called useless Writer Profession out of all the Professions out there.
But when he became alone and abandoned by the world itself.
Calvin finally realized why he acquired the Writer Profession in the first place.
Writing was in his blood.
He would enjoy, no matter how mundane the words he wrote, for as long as he was the one who scribbled it down. He'd find a strange sense of enjoyment and satisfaction from writing it.
"Sigh..."
Calvin let out a sigh.
Back then, he became the greatest traitor of humanity.
Now that he was back...
He'll become the strongest hero that will save humanity from destruction!
Calvin steeled his resolve once again as he stood up and glanced at his wristwatch.
1:57 AM.
'It's time...'
'I'm coming back...'
'Las Felipinas.'

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)

Transition and Restart
If you were transported from this world to another almost identical.If you were transported from your life to your teenage self.If you had to restart your life again.Would you, or would you cling to your memories?This is a Japanese manga/anime -style slice of life high school romance with a splash of sci-fi. Ensemble cast, so if you only want one main character this is not for you. It's also a repost of books I already published here. It's cleaned up, and it's published the way I meant it to be read. For those reasons the very concept of a release schedule lacks meaning. Chapters are either miniscule or humungous.
