《Level Up Lord》Chapter 7: Making Traps
Advertisement
"Hey, wait!"
Somebody has stopped Karl and Elise who where going to catch fish today again.
"What is it, Remi?" said Elise.
Remi, 13 years old, was the second eldest orphan. He helps the nearby farmers to earn money (credits) and contribute to the management of the orphanage.
"You two are going to catch fish today as well?"
"Yes. Want to join us?"
"No, I'll be off to work later but I wanted to give you some stuff before you go to the creek."
Remi had a small knife and a wooden bucket in hand.
"Take these. Yesterday, you said you needed to bleed the fishes but couldn't because you had no tools. So here's a knife to bleed the fish and a bucket to be easier to store them and to carry them. Oh and you can use these for other purpose to of course. Just make sure not to hurt yourself."
"Thanks a lot Remi! We'll take care of ourselves. Have a nice day."
"Yeah, have a nice day to you too, Karl and Elise. I look forward to eat fishes again tonight."
"Hey Elise. Why not try to make a fish trap now that we have a knife?"
"But I don't know how to make one."
Karl knew how to thanks to the knowledge he had from his previous life (which he couldn't remember details of his life but had kept the knowledge) but he couldn't say that. So he had to lie a bit.
"I've seen someone in the village make one. It wasn't that hard."
With the knife, the two children could build primitive fish traps in an easier way as they could cut branches with much less effort and could polish them.
As Karl was still weak, Elise was the one who did the most in building fish traps.

It took a while to make to make two but now, they'll need less effort
They placed the fish traps, one in upper stream and one in lower stream of the creek.
"Karl, do you want to catch fish with the fishing net as well?"
"No, I want to make rabbit traps too."
"Rabbit traps? Oh, I know how to make one. Jean showed me how to make one the last week."
(15 years old, Jean was the eldest orphan. He is an apprentice hunter and is not often in the orphanage anymore as he is most of the time following the hunters from the village and learn the job. Sometime when he came back, he brought a part of what he had hunted.)
Rabbit traps were easier to build as they were smaller. And soon, they had placed the traps with baits carefully not to leave their traces.
Now they just had to wait patiently.
Somewhere in the North-West of the Atlas continent...
"Now has come our time to revenge and kill all the humans! Brothers, We will wash our dishonour from the past with their blood and we shall fest with their flesh!"
GROARRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the biggest threat to the Humanity came back to life and these unknown creatures deafeated in the past by the Great Heroes are seeking revenge.
Will the Humanity be able to fight them back?

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart
