《Spade : Reborn》13 : Forgotten Past

" Nodochi, wake up! It's already 8 in the morning. Go throw the trash. " I opened my eye as i heard my mom shout. I guess i should not play games and watching anime at the same time in the late night. I walk to the bathroom. I look at the mirror, thinking about my school. My grades for math is getting bad. Last year i go 61% and for this midterm, i got 42%. This is why i hate being too genuise. It feels like I'm bringing myself the aura of negativity. I take a toothbrush and a toothpaste. Put the toothpaste's liquid slimey thing on my toothbrush, and finally put in my mouth. I start imagining that what if you're in a game world and the toothpaste is a slime? How can you clean your teeth using the slime? Spit the waste. Next, opslide the curtains and take a quick freezing shower so I can focus what i'm going to do next.
" I'll be there in a minute mom! " I put on my trouser, which is so tight. I got pissed just because the trouser won't fit my big butt. I throw it on the couch. Great, I just killed my mood. Checking the wardrobe, searching, throwing all my clothes. " THERE IT IS! " My personal big boxer is there! My good mood came back to save my live. I put on a shirt, which is a game shirt, take my keys. I went downstairs as fast i can so my mom won't get mad.
" The omelettes and two fat meat is on the table, eat it after you throw the trash. " said Mom. My stomach already made a sound as i saw the food on the table. I take the garbage, smelly garbage and went outside. Open the container that is only for trash, besides the container, there's a troop of ants working on getting a food. I stare at it for 3 minutes, no blink. " Why you still there? Come inside and eat your breakfast or it will ge cold soon. " said Mom with a smile.

Walk to the refrigerators, thinking what drink should fit my breakfast set. Is Chocolate milk is a good combination? Milk? Oh wait, ORANGE! I smile as i take out a orange juice box. The carton caught my attention because the colour is so unique. " At 10, you need to go to school to study with your friends and teacher, right? What should i make for your lunch box? " Mom ask. Her distance between dining table where i sit is pretty close. " 4 beef sandwiches and grill salmon, mom. " Mmm... The taste of omelette is sweet, because in it is a cheese. I just remembered in our house, only me and my mom left. My sister went to United Kingdom middle school, although she just 14. She can study overseas because she scored her English, Science and Math test 95%, every year. I only taste 90% marks when i was 12, but now I'm 16. Not to lie, i was kinda jealous. But my sister isn't a selfish person or a tsundere to brothers.
After done eating breakfast, I went upstairs. Looking for a red and black colour bag. As i searching under my computer desk, i found a online mmorpg game. " Tales of Sora Guardian? I thought I completed this game already. " I put it on the desk, next to my mouse. For this generation, i had to say it is wierd. Every online games cannot be download on software. You need to go to game stores to buy it. Of course, you need to download the game system first. At the same time, the online game was pretty good when I first time playing it. " Found it, you baggy! You need to come with me " I take the bag, put education books in it.

The sound of a horn come from outside my window, it's my van. I ran quickly, close the door with full force, made a bang noise. Reach the gate, open it using the keys. Put on my sport Adiders shoes. It's the latest model one, and I'm the lucky one who get this pair. " I'm going now, Mom! "
" Make sure focus on your studying! No watching cute girls with a weird expression on public! " Mom shout. I knew she was trying to tease me with my fantasies girls. My mom was the best.
Arrived at the front gate of the school. I went to the vending machine first to buy a coffee. I'm addicted to coffee when I start to watch anime. I insert my money, pressed a button that says ' Ice Coffee ' and there it is! I walk on the teacher's main walkpath just to make sure i won't miss my group studies. My mind start to think about game. " It's not the time to think about game, brain! " I accidently said it loudly.
" Game? You mean study game? " I turn around, there's Jin. Jin Ley was my childhood friend. He replied with a smiles.
" Shut up. I stay awake just to search a new game, you know. " I try to change the topic.
" OOuuhh... "
As we chatting, we arrived at our class.
" Took you long enough! " said Ben, crossing his arm.
" Yea, i thought both of you canceling the study group. " said Rachel.
Rachel is my close friend since last year. Even she's a girl, she' likes to play online games with me. That's how i conquer my shyness to talk to girls. Ben, a friend of mine and Jin. He dosen't like to play online games with newbie. He likes to work alone, even we asked him if we want to help him.
" Sorry.. " I come inside the classroom. I look upwards, a dusty ceiling. Like a haunted mansion for me to study. I looked at Ben's bag, a game disk. " Ben, what's inside of your bag? A new game? "
" Oh yea, before we study, i want to introduce this new good online game. It's called Era Orbit Online! "

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

ROACH- rising pestilence
A weary mind awakens in an unfamiliar body, lost, confused, scared, and very far from home. He doesn't know where he is, he isn't sure what he may become, and his stomach growls hungrily. But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.
