《Subordination system》Training Arc
Advertisement
Jason got out of the capsule, he had spent another night grinding in the forest and looking outside of the apartment windows he could tell that it was almost moring. Thankfully WOW's time was the same as the time in the real world so Jason knew exactly when he needed to log out.
Jason stretched his sore muscles and started getting ready for the day. While he was brushing his teeth Boops started updating him about the twins, as they were still in the capsules and wouldn't get out until much later.
'Perseus wants to train Jack in thief skills and is requesting some to teach him.'
"Yeah okay, we gained a lot of points from beating the agility course I think we can spare some"
'okay basic thief skills cost 2000 points'
"yeah go ahead and buy it for Perseus"
[you have bought the dagger skill for 2000 points for your subordinate Perseus]
[you have 2543 points left]
"How has Arjuna been?"
'Really good, he was just offered an alchemist position and is still really popular in the city of Dawn'
"How close are they to making their respective groups?"
'Perseus is putting his on hold saying that he found something that might help us more and will focus on both at the same time'
Jason thought for a bit and responded
"alright as long as he's giving us good enough benefits and it doesn't obstruct the overall plan"
'Okay, I sent him the message'
'Arjuna is slowly getting there but with how he is gaining a reputation in the city he already has enough influence to make a team, he just needs the money.'
"okay yeah, just tell him to keep on doing whatever he's doing"
'Jason you are so lucky to have these subordinates one is unconsciously getting people to adore him while the other one is always finding new ways to get money.'

"Yeah, they're always covering for my shortcomings even if they don't know it"
Jason finished getting ready and went to the kitchen to make food. For the last few days he had been making food for everyone and he was getting pretty good at it. Boops suggested to buy the cooking skill but Jason wanted to gain it naturally if that was even possible.
Eating a quick breakfast of eggs and toast Jason walked outside to head for school. Boops made a scan to figure out if anyone was stalking them, like the times before. This time nobody was there. Jason could walk to school in peace.
Today Jason was going to school to drop out and focus on the game. He knew that some people would get mad, but it didn't matter.
The walk to school was a quick 10 minutes and Jason looked up at the familiar school sign and walked in. He saw a few other people walking in, but he came in early so not too many people had come in yet.
Jason checked his inventory, yes his inventory it was a regular feature that all system users had. He hadn't known about it until when he started using it in the game. Unlike the in-game inventory, his was unlimited, but could only store non living things currently.
Since he could store everything in his inventory he walked past his locker without ever using it. Who knows how many confessions he avoided just from not using his locker. Jason's first class was homeroom, he walked into class where Jones and Najimi were waiting.
Seeing Jason Najimi leaped toward Jason hugging him
"Jason! thanks for the capsule, the game is awesome!"
Jones walked up behind them and also expressed thanks
"yeah Jason we really owe you one, you got us into something really important to our lives"

Jason already knew that Jones understood the importance of WOW, he wasn't sure about Najimi but he was sure he at least understood it was going to be popular. Jason talked with the two a bit more and learned about some of the adventures the two had together. About the people who tried to player kill them or their adventure in killing a horned rabbit guard. Najimi could keep on talking forever, there was just so much to unpack.
Jason started asking questions to the two
"Najimi how did you pass the thief training center?"
"Ah that, the instructor was really nice to me after I offered advice for his marriage problems"
"dang alright, what level are you guys?
"Jones is level 13 and I'm level 12 almost level 13"
"you guys have plans for where you want to go in the continent?"
"Nope, we were actually talking about that before you came in, you have any recommendations?"
Jason thought for a while he could bring them to the Nightshade empire or the Belusian Kingdom. Who needed help, Perseus, or Arjuna?
This was a tough decision but then Jason remembered that those two were most likely going to join the tall cats guild that Luna was making. Even though he wanted them to join the Silverwings or Phantasy he couldn't force them.
Besides he was sure that the tall cats guild could grow into something amazing. He took out a map from his backpack/ (inventory) and laid it out in front of them. Quickly explaining to them how he got it from a bookstore in the game and printed it out. He pointed toward the nightshade empire and Belusian Kingdom
"Okay I'm on the west side of the continent in this kingdom and I have a friend on the east side. If you have plans to be big, don't go to where we are. If you want to grow together chose land closer to us."
Jones and Najimi looked at each other and then laughed, Jones was the first to address Jason
"dude, don't take this too seriously our friendship isn't going to be broken that easily."
He then pointed to a kingdom on the south that was a kingdom away from Jason and an entire empire away from Arjuna. He turned to Jason
"trust us, we will be able to get big while growing together."
Jason could feel a smile tugging at his lips, he shouldn't have doubted his friends. He knew that they were always going to be at his side.

Mistwalker Xyn and the Cult of Eldritch Evil
[Participant in the 2020 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] Having just graduated to adulthood, Xyn is salty about how his lackluster Awakening has resulted in his current derided status within his clan and tribe, particularly when compared to the successes of his litter-siblings. The revelation of the truth about his heritage sets in motion events leading to him traveling to human lands on a secret mission for his tribe. Cringeworthy moments and awkwardness will ensue as young Xyn (an anthropomorphic tiger-kin), raised in the sheltered life of a martial artist, navigates human society with a trusty sidekick or two picked up along the way and might just save his corner of the world while he's at it. Gore will be minimally present as needed to tell a fantasy martial arts tale. There won't be any sexual content, but mild/vague suggestive themes may occur occasionally due to the nature of Xyn's mission and his insecurities. Story should be teen appropriate. Thanks for reading! [Background for the cover art is courtesy GG-graphics via Pixabay.]
