《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》Gathering Resources
Advertisement
Walking into the guild, I was immediately dragged by Shadow to the receptionist table. Surprised, I looked around to see what is going on. I see three other adventurers standing at the table as well. After Shadow and I arrived, I gave them a quizzical look but they only shrugged.
Shadow then turned towards us and told us that there are three very important quests that needed us to take. The quests were already assigned to the designated adventurers. He is also taking part in one of the quests with another adventurer. That is all good but why am I the only one taking on a quest by myself? Must be because I solo a lot anyways.
"So the teams are divided, now go do those quests as soon as possible." Shadow replied.
"Ok." Everyone murmured.
"Ah," I said, " before I start, I'm gonna take a few gathering quests to gather some materials."
I went up to the quest board and said, "Here, I'll take these three quests: gather chickens, gather moonlight flowers, and gather moonlight water."
"Ok." Shadow agreed as he granted my request.
..........
After the short meeting, I left to do the three simple tasks. I headed to the forest. Searching around, I finally came across a cluster of wild chickens.
"1, 2, 3,...,10! Good, exactly ten." I clapped, "But why are there so many chickens just standing there for? Forget it, I'll worry later. For, now capture them alive."
I pulled out Mask of the Sleepy Knight from my bag and summoned Shiyo. "Napknight! Use Absolute Sleep on those chickens."
Shiyo, however, was snoring on the ground. I rushed over and gave him a sliding kick to the back. With a pained expression, he woke up. He looked at the chickens and half-assedly gave a wave in that direction. Absolute Sleep was cast but not only were the chickens affected but everything in a 5 meter radius was affected as well, including Shiyo himself. Luckily, because I'm the one who summoned him, I was not affected by the spell. With a poof, Shiyo was sent back. I walked up to the chickens, grabbed a knapsack and tossed them all in.

I continued onwards deeper into the forest when I bumped into a rooster. The rooster looked very majestic, it looked as if it had monster blood coursing through its veins. So that's why so many chickens were here together...they were vying for the affections of this rooster monster.... Shrugged, I grabbed the sleeping rooster and tossed it in my knapsack as well. Then, I continued walking.
..........
As I made my way deeper into the forest, I came across many healing and poisonous plants. I picked them as I went, thinking that they may be of use to me later on. After gathering enough healing plants, I reserved 10 of them to later submit to the guild to complete my quest. After trekking in the forest for more than an hour, I finally found the moonlight water. The water is located in a small cave where the ceiling of the cave has a medium sized crack where moonlight can pour in. The small pond of moonlight water looked so clean and it glistened in the moonlight, basking in the moon's essence. As I was mesmerized with the beauty of the pond, I caught a glimpse of blue and white. I turned my head and saw...moonlight flowers! Success!
It would seem logical for moonlight flowers to grow where there are moonlight water and moonlight. I quickly took out three large-sized vials and filled them with moonlight water. The water glistened in the vials even when its not basked in moonlight. It seems that the moonlight water had retained the moon's essence...no wonder they are called "moonlight" water. Then, I bend down and plucked 10 moonlight flowers - careful not to harm the plants themselves so that they may continue to produce moonlight flowers. Storing the flowers and water in my bag, I left the cave. I trekked back to the guild to turn in the items.

My Delirium Alcazar
Plaire Stevens moves into her new house, which is very normal and definitely not haunted. MDA is a genre bending exploration of anxiety, magic, capitalism, body horror, video games and what it means to dream. It's also an interactive story--the protagonist's actions are dictated by the comments section, both here on Royal Road and on the main MDA website.

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.

Unbelievers
Not my story - written by isthatyoularry on Ao3Summary:It's Louis' senior year, and he's dead set on doing it right. However, along with his pair of cleats, a healthy dose of sarcasm and his ridiculous best friend, he's also got a complicated family, a terrifyingly uncertain future, and a mortal enemy making his life just that much worse. Mortal enemies "with benefits" was not exactly the plan.Or: The one where Louis and Harry definitely aren't friends, and football is everything.Disclaimer: None of this is real. Nothing in this is meant to imply anything, nor does this reflect my personal beliefs about anything or anyone. This is fiction.
