《Tales Of Narcinica》V1 Chapter 8 - The New World
Advertisement
The New World was a prosperous part of Solitude, even more than the "Old World" of Solitude. But one thing that the Old World was best at was combat.
They charged against the New World. The New World was struggling to put up an army and was constantly put under lockdown. People did not know what side to trust. Some people even left Solitude entirely thinking there could be a more simple and non corupt kingdom. It never ended but Caleb still resisted because he knew that if he put up that white flag he would pay for it for the rest of his life.
"Send a message to them." Caleb said to one of his few messengers.
"What should it say?" Replied the messenger.
"Please stop."
They did not. It was a little more complicated than that but the basis of it was that the New World asked for a stop and the Old World did not stop.
In fact that showed a sign of vulnerability and they blew over the New World with even more battles. The New World had to give up a portion of land that if they kept would have torn the New World to shreds. It was truly a horrible battle.
Finally, one Friday night had made Caleb lose it. A messenger came to his home and said
"Sir, commander and chief of North New World, Woman Bethany of Solitude has died from a tragic sword fight that pierced her scalp."
"What!!!?? She was the only skilled commander that we had?! Was she not training several commanders?"
"She was training several up and coming commanders. The problem is that she is the only commander with battle experience." Replied the messenger.
"A funeral will be put up on the eighth of August, one month from now." Caleb said.

"Wait, we will not have a funeral. We are fighting a war?!" The messenger said with irritation.
"Pull out the white flag..." Caleb bravely exclaimed.
"Sir we cannot simply put up a white flag." The messenger replied.
"Well find a way."
*Back at the Old World*
"News has just gone around saying that they have surrendered!" Said one citizen.
"It's all a hoax. They are trying to make us let our guard down." Said another.
"Bet!"
"I just want the war to be over!"
"Settle down boys." Said another person.
"Yo, let's go to the bar."
"Sure, I have time to waste."
As people started celebrating at the bar. People also started getting skeptical about the situation. I am sure you would ask questions like, why that easily, maybe it is a way to let our guard down, and simple questions like that.
Noah was not just gonna let his guard down like that. He was going to pay a little "visit" to Caleb to confirm that he was in the clear.
"Hey Caleb..." Noah said skeptically.
"I know what you want to ask. Yes I do use lavender body wash." Caleb replied in a joke tone.
"No no no. You have this all wrong. I came to ask. PIECE OF CRAP WHATTA WANT FROM ME?!?!" Noah said furiously.
"Settle down, I do not want anything from you. All I am saying is that you win!" Caleb replied trying to calm down the situation.
"I for one know it has never been that easy. Especially with you. Now be honest what do you want..." Noah said calming down.
"All I want is peace, you won. Why should I keep trying if it will always end up like this." Caleb said frantically.

"Wow you really have.. NOT CHANGED ALL YOU ARE DOING IS LYING!!" Noah yelled.
*BOOM* Caleb swung his jacket into Noah's face.
"You do not learn do you. I will repeat again. I GAVE UP MY KINGDOM WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?!?"
*SMACK* Noah hit Caleb in the face. This time Caleb punched back. and it went back and forth like this until a maid noticed what had happened.
"WHAT THE?!?!??!?! CALEB WHAT HAPPENED?!" Said the maid in shock.
"Get me away from this maniac!" Caleb said pointing to Noah with his bleeding arm.
They got into more fights but things gradually changed and they got better and eventually became friends from my understanding. For now though things would stay the same. The fighting and hate.

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.

The Patchwork Realms
Athos is a good dog. He likes frisbee, bacon, and his family (SmolFriend, Mom, and Dad). He's not so keen on falling through an interdimensional portal to a fantasy world where floating boxes tell you that you've just been given status as the 'Supreme Exemplar' of your species, a powerful package of abilities that includes human-level intelligence. Sure, being smart is nice but less so when it comes with the need to survive in a land made from bits of different dimensions stitched together like patches in a quilt. A thousand species, a thousand lands, sorcery and super science rubbing elbows, wars and intrigue everywhere...it's exhausting for a good dog who just wants to go home! Note that this is a work in progress with lots of fiddly numbers so I will occasionally need to go back and fix errors, and this might affect events of earlier chapters. I'll try to keep this to a minimum and will post a note whenever it happens. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
