《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》003-I should have said black!
Advertisement
—Very good, excellent presentation, Adam— Achilles said with a smile—Do you know why you came to school?
—To get my black robe! And to be able to be a professional harvester! — Adam answered excitedly.
—That's the attitude of a true student! —said the teacher with a kind smile— To achieve that you only have to learn one language of your choice, luckily for you: I know three languages, so you're going to have many options, but as a gatherer with learning any of the 3 you should be fine.
Achilles got up from his seat and pulled out a wooden box. Inside the box were 4 books inside with covers of different colors: green, yellow, red, and black. Achilles took 3 of the books and closed the box.
He then put the three books on the table and began to explain what each one is about:
—This Green Book is good for learning the language they use on the upper floors; so it is quite useful if you plan to move upstairs. The red book is useful for traveling to the lower floors, but I wouldn't recommend studying this language. Do you know which one is yellow?
—Yes! —Adam replied with the happiness of a child who knows the correct answer — That is the language we use in the flats where my parents live and where the school is.
—That's right, Adam! —Congratulations the teacher — That's why this is the most useful language for you, likely, your parents have already taught you a little and that will make you get your black robe faster. Which of all do you choose?
—Yellow!— Adam yelled, somewhat impatient, to get his black robe.
The professor nodded and put the other unselected books back in the box. Then, the teacher took the book that was left on the table and handed it to Adam, while he said:

—Your first task will be to ask your parents what the first page says. Then try to understand the others using what you learned from your parents with the first sheet. But don't ask him what the next ones say! Understood?
—Of course, professor!—Adam replied, somewhat excited.
—Well—the teacher said happily, seeing such a cooperative boy— Otherwise, you can leave earlier today, but use the time you're saving by going earlier to do your homework. Good luck on the road, Adam. And the next time you come, try not to waste time flipping through books you can't read on the way. You can see the dust on your shoes.
Adam looked sheepishly at his shoes, tried to hide them with his robe, but his robe wasn't long enough to do it. With a blush on his face, Adam waved goodbye as he left the classroom, leaving the teacher alone.
—A curious young man...—The professor murmured, while Adam closed the door of the room.

The Way of Wrought Earth, or: My Tale of Rebirth as a Mostly Inanimate Rock
Mirage Winter. Second Clause, current act. A Relic Hunter's life is harsh — and often short — in the shattered lands of the Frontier. But when Whitelight reemerges, a legendary blade capable of separating anything the user wills it to cut, a newly formed unit organized of Hunter’s both young and old (and sediment based, in a particular case) vow to stop it from falling into cruel hands. Standing against them is the Frontier itself: the unbridled wrath of global federations, fellow Hunters, and those who lurk in the shadows of giants. As the world races to unravel a history desperately concealed, a semi-sapient rock soon realizes that some things are better off dead and buried — especially when those secrets carry an insidious corruption with no cure. Iteration: Mirror-glass Stars in Iron Oceans. First Clause. A soul wakes up as a rock, clinging to fragmented memories and knowledge of another era. What fate awaits such a creature? No, this isn't satire. Yes, I am dumb enough to try to take this seriously. Updates Wednesday, Friday with a variable amount of chapters. This story is not recommended for the easily disturbed. This is your only warning.

The Cosmic and the Fair
When magic comes crashing into the world, humans are swept away. When they come trickling back, they are changed. Many of them have been transformed into elves, dwarves, trolls... and now one succubus. Magic is wondrous, dangerous, and inextricably linked to all living things. But succubi have to take it from other people, and for a succubus dropped far away from any communities big enough to sustain her, that's a problem. Luckily for Persephone Evans, she's got help. She has a fancy unique class and a companion. But both gifts come with strings attached, and why did she have to teach the succubus on her shoulder what 'consent' means? This is my first story! Note: The prologue differs wildly in tone from the rest of the story. I'm playing it safe on the tags. I don't think the story really deserves the profanity or gore content warnings, but the main character does swear and get hurt. That said, the main character is a succubus. Sexual content is a given.
