Author notice: Lack of description of the world is partially intentional and partially technical difficulty, I lack the fantasy to imagine backgrounds so I leave it to your imagination.
Hiro here. I was called a king at school, as a student council president I had subordinates, and lots of friends, also couple of childhood friends appointed to me by families sub branches, as my right and left hands one for fighting and second for planning, maybe everyone was friendly with me because my family was influential or because I was popular for my high grades and sports achievements.
As we move out, I counted a total of 35 men left after I enlisted everyone else, we had 5 carriages for 6 and one cart for 4, and as before guide soldier was on horseback. His name is Durian but I don’t think he’s smell to be that severe, so Durian told me that with this speed we can stop at a roadside taverns every night, but we still would have to make a halt mid day to keep horses sated.
Before we left I added new Thu’um(Dragon shout) {player.addspell 60294[added Laas word], player.addspell 60295[added Yah word], player.addspell 60296[added Nir word]} [Menu->Magic->Shouts activate Laas,Yah,Nir] and now I have 10 dragon souls left, but now I have ‘Aura Whisper’ I tried it out while still in castle and as I whisper “Laas” it reverberated through souls of all that is living and weirdly enough the perception of their existence just stayed then I tried to whisper “Laas Yah” and it just increased the radius at which I could detect lifeforms, as I whispered again “Laas Yah Nir” I was a bit shocked “even bugs and worms?” but why in game it worked only for 30 seconds and now it’s just infinite, but then I inhale deep to sigh and distract myself from all what I can detect now and all that fuss and movement “Aaah”, as I exhale and lose concentration I stop detecting lifeforms, looks like I will be able to control what I perceive after some practice with concentration.
On the way to first halt, as I was practicing ‘Aura Whisper’, in the distance of about 500m or about a quarter mile, I detected 2 groups of 5 people on ground along two sides of the road and 6 figures on trees from each side of the road that look like they holding bows, since it looks like an ambush I command halt, then excuse myself to go on a hunt and walk towards the forest, as I enter the bushes I crouch, to become undetectable and semi transparent, I decide to try out some thing, {player.addspell 48ac9 [added ‘Slow Time’ words:Tiid, Klo, Ul]}, so it works this way too, [Menu->Magic->Shouts activate Tiid, Klo, Ul], and {player.addspell 2ad09 [added ‘Battle Fury’ words Mid, Vur, Shaan]} [Menu->Magic->Shouts activate Mid, Vur, Shaan] and that brings me down to 4 dragon souls, but as I shout “Tiid, Klo, Ul---” time is slowed to 10% of normal speed as I continue “Mid, Vur, Shaan” good that ‘Battle Fury’ didn’t just accelerated my weapons but also reversed the effect of ‘Slow Time’ I can move normally now but everything else is almost stopped. As I sneak while crouched in perception of normal people there is a shadow moving on an unbelievable speed, I sneak around the forest and sneak up on road bandits and take their weapons, the only problem now are the archers, there is 12 of them so I stand up in the middle of the ambush as I cast ‘Conjure Bow’ spell.

As they see it something blurry stops in the middle of the road, amidst the ambush and turns to a person, then in it’s hands and on it’s back appears sizzling semi transparent bow and quiver, before archers could react their bowstrings pop as something whizz by them.
This is a bit troubling I thought I had limited time in this state guess all shouts have changed to real Mighty dragon magic, because I feel as I use power of shout it drains my stamina and I feel that I can control output just like with magika, so I lower consumption to a complete stop and effect of ‘slow time’ and ‘battle fury’ wear off, and I say
“As you see, you have no other chance but to surrender, be thankful I will not kill you nor I will enslave you, I offer you to go to my castle and become mercenaries, go by this road towards the trading outpost and tell them Sig sent you to enter family” they probably will get locked up until I show up.
I let go of my mystic bow and it evaporates I look almost like ‘quincy’ from that anime about death gods and soul eaters called ‘hollow’, as I walk back to the caravan bandits climb of the trees and crawl out of the bushes to follow me, as I reach the caravan I show them to keep walking, but then I approach them and ask,
“Who was in charge of you guys” they point at tall scrawny archer (robin hood? Must be coincidence that he looks exactly the same)
“Do you have food and water to get there?” I say looking at robin hood
“We have some food and water in our base but that won’t be enough to get to the outpost my lord” again with my lord why do they always submit to strong this fast?
So I shared some of provision I had in my inventory, since that time I took whole armies provision, that was enough to feed 526 men for whole month, 25 days in this world.
After a one hour halt we moved out, from the start I felt days were shorter in this world, so it turned out it’s 20 hour day in here 10am and 10pm I don’t even know does am/pm apply here, but minutes and seconds seems to be of same length.
We arrived to the tavern at 7pm so we have 7 hours to rest we’re of schedule because of that bandits, lodging for group of men will be 15 copper each if don’t buy food from tavern if we do it will be 60 total, meal is soup made with some herbs and some game hunted from forest, at least it’s better than beef jerky and dried rye bread with that horrible pouch water, but it will set me back 2 silver and 160 copper, but it’s no problem I copied coins into my inventory with ‘additem’ before we left, so now I have 498 silver and 840 copper on me, by the way I haven’t seen a single gold coin of this country, but i’m still carrying 7 gold Septims, I wonder how much coins made of raw gold costs?
We left early at 5am and slept only 6 hours, we need to speed up to get to capital before they send another army, it’s been a week since sige should have resolved, they must be anxious by now, there was no messengers with news of defeat or victory, so they will assume defeat and that messenger was killed.

We traveled for 2 days uneventfully but on 3 day when we was on halt, as I was watering my horse I heard a scream from the back of my caravan, I thought is was weird to get attacked all of a sudden, I was using ‘aura whisper’ all the way and didn’t detect anything, but it was wyverns they flew here from nearby mountain range, before I could do anything 2 wyverns was flying of with dead soldiers clawed to death with talos,
“Tiid, Klo, Ul, [Slow time], Mid, Vur, Shaan, [Battle Fury]” then I cast ‘conjure bow’ and first of all kill 4 incoming wyverns but they looked more like ‘Argentavis’ then a flying lizards, but soldiers screamed ‘WYVERNS!’ so they must be called that here, then I turn to 2 leaving wyverns and shoot them down, mind you it all happened in split second, I thought I saved everyone else as I dispelled ‘slow time’ and ‘battle fury’ but one soldier got crushed under fallen wyvern that was in a nosedive when I killed it, so we lost 3 men to an unfortunate circumstance, moving on we sold cart at the next stop for night’s rest, there is no point in cart if it’s empty afterall.
Next day as we were on halt I detected in the distance a big crowd of some little figures, they were moving from forest to the road, as I got closer I perceived that they were coming from underground cave, I got closer to the crowd they were goblins, I thought maybe I can comunicate with them but they were more like a rabid dogs scowling and snarling, and here I was hoping to rise somone like ‘gobu rou’ like in (Reborn as a Monster). Ok let’s deal with this, looks like it’s an evil dungeon overflowing with monsters,
“Tiid, Klo, Ul, [Slow time], Mid, Vur, Shaan, [Battle Fury]” I then cast ‘conjure batttleaxe’ and take a hold of mystic axe, then I start trimming the numbers of goblins, as I got to the dungeon entrance I must have gotten rid of about 40 goblins, I got 2 levels out of that, well they are incredibly weak.
Inside a cave was a single room, I cleared out 15 goblins to get to it, room was full of goblins, about 40 more to deal with, that took me about 12 seconds of normal time, under the goblin corpses was some glowing object, I moved goblin corpses and touched the glowing sphere, it was warm to touch and glowed white, I picked it up and walked out of the cave then put it in my inventory, as I did that the cave collapsed, interesting looks like this dungeon is dead, but they said that one must destroy the dungeon core to kill the evil dungeon, looks like there is different ways to subdue a dungeon.
3 more days of peaceful travel and on day 7 of our travel we encounter an army caravan kingdom sent reinforcements to king’s brother as they say, but unfortunately or fortunately they will have to turn back here, they see that we are going to the capital and I state,
“Outpost is under my control, I will escort you and this men back to capital and report to king” I was wearing my noble clothes that didn’t fit me quite well but suited me quite fine,
“May I be introduced?” asked a noble looking guy in heavy armor,
“I am Sigfreid Dragonslayer, I will also take the responsibility of escorting lord to be back to the outpost” noble looked at me and asked,
“Do you think I will just give up the outpost to you, I never heard of Ladddraig noble family” so he is the lord to be?
“I would like to know your name future lord of an outpost” he smiles as he hears that I will give up the outpost,
“I am Cornelius Magus a hair to Magus family famous for our triangle mages” interesting so he might be a mage,
“Good are you a triangle mage then?” at least I hope he is
“I will not tolerate this prepare your man I will crush you here and now” wow wow chill dude
“Whole army almost all 500 men is dead and this is what’s left of them, under my grace I return them to royal capital” we will see who will be crushed,
“I don’t need an army to crush someone do you think you can handle me?” let’s see of he will bite the bait,
“T-that is hrmm mmm I was hoping you would say that!” looks like he took the bait, for one with Magus family name he sure has too bulky of a build, or should I say he’s just fat, and how mage could fight with battleaxe, I dismount and walk towards him,
“W-what are you doing?” well I think I am going to play with you a bit before making you my puppet, but I don’t know how to answer that question.
“Duel?” are there duels here?
“Then why are you dismounting? You think you can win against mounted knight while on foot?” O so they duel on horses? But I don’t want mine to get injured while I play with him.
“No problem you can attack whenever you want” he looks at me with resent that I can see even through his helmet, and he charges at me,
“Tiid, Klo, Ul, [Slow time], Mid, Vur, Shaan, [Battle Fury]” he hears my shout and falls of the horse, at this point I almost start to laugh, but I must keep the dignity of my puppet lord to be.
I stand there holding my laughter as hard as I can, while watching him fall of horse in slow motion, now I decrease the effect of ‘slow time’ a bit from 10% to 30% of normal time speed, if I increase speed any more shout spell will fail, I wait as he painstakingly slowly stands up, if it was a real duel he would be dead already, as he stands up he points the tip of his battleaxe at me and starts to say something, I just run up to him take of his helmet pull out his dagger and put it to his throat, then he drops his axe, I dispel ‘slow time’ and ‘battle fury’.
“You can get ransom of at least two gold if you keep my life” he thinks I am going to kill him?
“No need I was just playing with you”, “Gol, Hah, Dov, You will follow my will and dedicate your life to me” new puppet acquired.
He had an army of 120 men looks like a scout unit but I will make him a lord in that outpost, it looks like there are 20 men in robes in his army why?
“Hey why is there so few men following you, even after king’s brother was defeated with his army of 500?” this might be some special force or investigators.
“They are elite mages from my clan and we took permission to occupy the outpost if we take it from bandits” so it’s a task force then what about previous army was it weaker?
“So this 120 men are better than previous 500?” I hope you say yes.
“This soldiers and mages are specially trained squadron made to protect images from brute force and soldiers from mages, we know there are mages in that castle only mages can defeat 500 soldiers” so it’s about vulnerability of one type of force to the other?
“Go to the outpost and introduce yourself as puppet lord sent by Father Sig, you will be able to enter the castle with no problem, you will stay there as an official lord but all control will in the hands of my subordinates, you can send your men home when you get there if they have wives and kids waiting for them at the capital” they must accept him if they hear my name.
So as they move to the outpost we keep moving towards the capital, we stop for night at the tavern it was inside a small town at riverside, there were small settlements to grow crops around few taverns but this is the first town I have seen, it has a reinforced villa behind the tavern, it has stone walls must be in castles stead, looks like this town developed around a tavern and then got a governor, unlike outpost where village developed around the outpost’s castle.
Here I ran into some troubles with local criminal group, I paid for the tavern and since we arrived before sunset I decided to have a look around town, business is thriving here, as I was touring the town I detected few presences following me around, so I walked into some back street, and then they appear the backstreet boys, there were 5 of them, poor things so shiny and so short lived in this business, I just slowed time and kicked their asses in the nick of time, I interrogated them after I bent will of the most smart looking one, looks like they are from a group of organized thieves of this town, I got to their leader and told him:
“Gol Hah Dov, You will follow my will and devote your life to serve me” {[I concentrate at him] refid 0x002cfac, bid Miguel, Miguel.setav health 2000, Miguel.setav healthrate 2000, Miguel.setav stamina 2000, Miguel.setav staminarate 2000}, they will establish my first sub division here, after I go and have a talk with local governor, for now they are all still little brothers but as a info network starts to work better we will have things covered, for now their orders is to cooperate with the governor and lay low.
As I was going to enter the governor’s villa I encountered a bit of resistance, guards didn’t let me pass without a clear reason or permission, but then I just walked into the closest back alley and crouched then used ‘slow time’ and ‘battle fury’ dragon magic and whizzed by guards unnoticed, but then I encountered another problem the villa was vast so I had to search for the governor, then I found the most smart looking guy and appeared behind him, and said to him that if he helps me find the governor of this town he will keep his life and get one silver coin, it was a success he guided me to governor's office, that person was working and looked exhausted, when I entered he didn’t even looked at me until I spoke:
“Gol Hah Dov, You will be my servant and follow my will with your life and devotion” {refid 0x001afa7 bid Chisare_Borugia} so his name is Chisare it’s always a name of an object for name, well never mind {Chisare_Borugia.setav health 2000, Chisare_Borugia.setav healthrate 2000, Chisare_Borugia.setav stamina 2000, Chisare_Borugia.setav staminarate 2000}.
I instructed him to cooperate with backstreet boys.
We move out early next day I didn’t sleep at all, but I wasn’t fatigued as expected of god mode, if I have something to distract me from drowsiness at night, I can go without sleep for days.
We got to capital safely in the next two days, as we entered the capital and moved to the capitol, soldiers were leaving a caravan as we were passing different parts of capital, some even turned the carriage to go to north or south part of the capital, as I stayed alone with my trusty guide, Durian said that he will guide me to the capitol then go to his family.
In a few hours before daybreak of 11th day of our travel I was standing before the pompous looking castle made of marble.

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide

In The Maw Of The Gods
Synopsis Lilly Harper was always the type to keep to herself. She struggled to make friendships and so, she simply opted not to. That was why moving to the coastal town of Wilham didn’t bother her. She wasn’t leaving anybody behind and she certainly didn’t expect to be making any friends any time soon. However, when she starts hearing about the school’s “Magic Club”—a group of weirdos who claim that magic is real, she can’t deny that she’s slightly intrigued. Then without warning, she suddenly finds herself wrapped up with them. And what if they aren’t crazy? What if magic is actually real? And what if it’s because of that magic that something more powerful than they could ever conceive of is drawn to Wilham? I plan to follow a release schedule of Tuesday/Friday. Average chapter length will be 4,000 to 6,000 words and I will be using multiple POV's quite often. Also to note, while I am flagging the story with content warnings, I am only doing so because there are specific moments where it will be needed. Overall, the story will be relatively tame and I plan to put extra warnings at the beginning of chapters that it applies to. Thank you to everybody who decides to give my story a chance and I hope you enjoy it!
