《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 149 - The Love Story of a Princess and a Fool (Shin Angyo Onshi World)
Advertisement
In a house at the base of the snowy mountain, Mt. Chilgap (Chil-gap-san).....
????: So I've heard from the little one... You have an interesting name...
The short old man with thick eyebrows, who is sitting near a table, takes a puff from his smoking pipe.
Shang’s thoughts: Little one? Do you mean Bang Ja? He is actually older than he looks.
Shang: What’s so interesting about it? It’s just a name.
Shang says while looking at burning fireplace which is making crackling sounds before tossing another log into it.
“Haedo” was just a random Korean name which Shang has thought up. He has learned from Munsu that such a position of the emperor’s agent existed when he mistook Shang for being the real agent.
During the trip to Mt. Chilgap, Shang played along with Munsu’s pestering and turned his fake identity into a real one.
Old man: Yes… To you, it’s just a name but to me…
The old man takes another puff before speaking.
Old man: What catches my interest is how a demon like you have one of the names of the shadows.
Shang’s thoughts: Demon? How did that old man… Oh, I totally forget…
The old man is not a simple person. He is the creator of the magical medallions, founder of the angyo onshi system and the previous strongest magician.
Shang’s thoughts: Mito is also one of those who saw through Chun Hyang’s human form.
Shang: Kyaaa! I have been discovered! I am going to be enslaved by this pervert old man! Help me, Baek Hyang!
Shang shouts out to Baek Hyang who is in the kitchen with Bang Ja.
Shang’s sudden reaction makes Mito speechless. This is the first time someone accuses him of something he has not even started and worst of all, he was being called a pervert.

Mito looks in the direction where one of Shang’s familiar is and waits for her to show up.
In return, her voice can be heard from the kitchen.
The kitchen….
Baek Hyang: Shut up, I am trying to learn some cooking here.
Bang Ja: You did not hear what I just said, did you?
Baek Hyang: I am sorry, so how do you control cooking temperature again?
The living room...
Shang looks at Yoo Ui Tae who is sitting not far from them, reading a book.
Shang: Yoo, you are my only savior now. Baek Hyang has abandoned me.
Yoo Ui-Tae looks back at Shang from his book and smiles.
Yoo Ui-Tae: Not interested.
Yoo Ui-Tae walks away to another room.
Shang then lays down on the floor, spreading his arms and legs.
Shang: Heaven has abandoned me!
“Shang uses Comedic Confusion on Mito!”
“It’s Super Effective!”
Mito rubs his forehead with his head.
Mito: I think I need a break.
Five minutes later, Mito has a serious talk with Shang alone in a room.
Mito: Can you tell me now? What is a group of demons looking for on Mt. Chilgap, or should I say what are you looking for?
Shang: I came here to watch a love story.
Mito: Love story?
Shang: The love story of a princess and a fool.

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR. Reading it is NOT necessary to read this story, but for anyone who wants to get a little bit more background, here is a link: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/38803/again-from-scratch Again from Scratch was my first journey into writing and I have taken all I learned from that and started writing Again from Scratch Saga, a continuation that is almost stand alone. Changes in certain phrases and words between the two are edits made because of the rewrite plans I have for the old story. The story is available here, on RR, on Webnovel, and on Scribble Hub.The cover was taken from PublicDomainPictures.net and made by one Nona Lohr

Observations of the Nameless
Sometimes the world will just whirl by without a care for its inhabitants. Each passing day bring a new experience unlike the one before it. Why do we do anything... That's a really good question, isn't it? Author's Note: Each chapter is about 300 words, so that's the reason for the short story tag even though this will be a (somewhat) ongoing series. Expect an update twice a week on Tue/Wed and on Fri/Sat. No set time, but likely afternoon or evening.

J&K
One day, a creature appeared on the beach of a world ruled by the human race. Born from a higher form of intelligence that was spending its immortality crossing between worlds, the creature's mission was simple : live and see. See what for yourself what the world has to offer. But what the world had to offer was sometimes quite overwhelming. ** [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] from chapter 2; be careful, chapter 1 has sexual content. Refer to the tags as the story can be quite dark. The story is a slice of life turned not so wholesome as the protagonist meets mostly freaks while becoming one themself.
