《Goblin Kingdom》Returning, Checking on Progress
Advertisement
Norgolin got quite irritated as they walked back toward his village. Turns out Diana was very slow, as she hadn't developed her wings yet. Anyway, both still walked as fast as they could. However, this time return wasn't safe all the time. Diana and Norgolin found a lot of wild beasts on their way back, but Diana explained the reason: She didn't have the ability to hide her demonic aura yet, so the beasts were curious. Norgolin was even surprised after seeing her kill a wild boar with ease, using a strange magic; She used her mana to create a dark purple circle full of runes, from which a black ball of flame appeared, launched toward the boar. Diana explained to him that all succubi had magic that used these rune circles.
They took an entire week to come back, along with the hindrances. When they arrived, Norgolin introduced Diana to his friends and tribe. Laura seemed relieved after she knew there was another humanoid girl other than her, coupled with news about a vine tree.
However, Norgolin was still worried about something. If a succubus had already appeared curious about the evolution happening, what about other races? what if some giants, strong demons or anything like that appeared? This just increased his urge to make an army and get stronger himself. 'Oh, I need to check on the training' He thought.
Arriving at the training camp, he saw all the males training. All of them seemed to be a little more sophisticated on the swings, but the time he had been off wasn't enough to make them any stronger. Checking a little bit on their speech, they were now starting to discover that there were other things to talk about other than food, sex, and hunt. Alom explained this was giving them curiosity previously unknown. Some were even starting to search on the woods for new herbs as something to kill time. Laura told him she was surprised with how diversified were herbs in this forest. She wasn't exactly a herbalist but still started to study herbs on the surroundings.

Norgolin wondered about all these changes. The conclusion was: leave it as it is. He was intelligent, but not a jack of all trades. Our protagonist was intelligent, but not to the point of being capable of controlling all areas at the same time. He just let Laura take care of herbalism and Alom on training.
Norgolin went to his hut, thinking about another topic: Buildings. If Norgolin wanted a strong civilization, he needed better houses, specified places built for training, researching(as he didn't want anyone causing an explosion outside), a school, and last but most important: A WALL. If he wanted to wage war, a wall was essential. However, humans were accustomed to battle against walls made of strong types of rock. And what they had here was nothing, just rock from the mountains up north(now Norgolin knew where North, East, West, and South was because obviously Laura and Diana had taught him how to recognize them using the sun.). And even if he tried to mine there, better pickaxes were needed, but they had nothing other than crude utensils. So our protagonist decided on one thing, and that was to train on making better equipment. That would help in all areas, indeed killing a lot of birds with one stone.
Norgolin immediately ordered two goblins to go toward the vine tree with knives and bring as many vines as they could. After that, he ordered three more to go and search for the biggest stones they could find.
That being done, Laura called him with a strong shout, giving him a big scare. He quickly went toward her, just to discover it wasn't her almost dying for a strong animal as he expected.
''Come, come, come and see, it was actually here, what a surprise!'' Laura was found screaming like a BTS fangirl, looking at a very strange plant on her hands. It had the composition of a rose, but its petals were a deep black and the part which should be green was yellow. It looked like nothing else, just a bit different from other plants.

''Damn girl, I thought you were dying, just why are you so happy to see a different rose?''Norgolin complained
''It isn't a normal rose, It is a Black-Sun Rose! It actually is the best plant for cultivating Mana and one of the rarest ingredients of the best Mana potions. I never thought I would have the chance to see something like this in my life!'' Laura seemed quite different from her normal shy personality. It looked like she really loved these strange plants.
''So what use does it have other than making potions?'' Norgolin asked
''If you put it in a place where it doesn't die, and that would be a place which receives water constantly, the Black-Sun Rose can help you canalize Mana faster and better.'' She explained
Norgolin was happy to know that a plant that helped him in the area he had been very bad at appeared at such a time. Now he could resume his testing on Mana! he immediately made a deal with Laura, to put it on his hut, so he would let her study it as much as she wanted, as long as she let him use it too.

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
