《Thellarion Conquest》Chapter 14: Greater than a Monster
Advertisement
"Why what happened?" Laria asked worryingly
"Well, for the first battle between Cyres and Leylin, Leylin got completely destroyed." Ricio replied with a dejected face
"Leylin, really?" Koren seriously doubted what his ears were hearing
Leylin was known to be one of the strongest mages in Koren's grade. He is also known to be a part of a prestigious line of strong mages.
"Yeah, I was surprised too. Cyres practically played with him, if a ref did not interfere he could have gotten extremely hurt."
"What about Kyla's fight?"
"Oh your girlfriend?"
Koren started to blush
"She's not my girlfriend…" Koren said embarrassingly
"Oh, well her opponent just surrendered."
"What?" Laria and Koren yelled at the same time
"Yeah, her opponent just surrendered. Since Kyla didn't fight the teachers thought she should fight Cyres."
Everyone in the room frowned and had the same thought,
'She's done for…'
"Where is this Cyres guy from?"
Eril replied this time
"He's completely clean, he came in this year nothing about him was noticeable according to his
teachers. Some teachers even claimed to have never noticed he even existed."
Laria thought it may have been an upperclassman using magic to look younger but she was wrong.
"So I'm in the finals?" Koren asked
They all nodded
"Mhmm, you can stay to watch, they are about to fight."
Koren sat down in between Ricio and Eril and laid his head on Eril's lap. Eril and Ricio are like his second parents so they happily accepted his actions.
The room that they were in had a one way mirror so that only they could see what was going on but no one else could see what they were doing.
"ARE YOU READY FOR THE SEMIFINAL MATCH BETWEEN KYLA AND CYRES!"

The crowd seemed to really dislike Cyres and since the announcer had to stay neutral the crowd began to heavily dislike him.
The crowd booed heavily as Cyres walked onto the field but began to cheer once they saw Kyla.
"BATTLE!"
Kyla rushed instantly towards Cyres with her spear in hand. She stabbed him in his stomach and slammed her knee into Cyres's face.
"KYLAAAA!" The crowd roared
Cyres teleported back unexpecting the sudden attacks.
Kyla didn't let this slow her down though, since he only had one of his shields left, Kyla had to take him out before he used any magic.
However that chance wasn't given to Kyla.
"You bitch." Cyres yelled before he began to move his mouth unimaginably fast.
"It's over." Eril muttered
"Ricio go save her."
Ricio nodded and disappeared from the room where he then appeared on the field in front of Kyla. He grabbed her and teleported back to the room.
The field where Kyla was a few seconds ago was covered in bright blue flames.
"Ah, where am I?" Kyla exclaimed as she examined the room.
"Eh, Koren?"
"Hey Kyla."
Laria interrupted them with a snicker
"Ah, young love."
Koren and Kyla both became bright red.
Eril ignoring Laria's comments began to see if Kyla was alright
"Are you alright sweety?" Eril lifted the hair that was in Kyla's eyes and began to wipe her face that was covered in sweat.
"Headmaster…?"
"Yes, are you hurt anywhere?"
"Um, no I don't think so." Kyla looked extremely out of place but they were all happy that she was alright.
"That's a relief."
'That boy, he's a monster…' Sebastian thought to himself as he peered upon the field
"That's a class 3 spell…" Ricio remarked

The skill that Jin used earlier in the fight was a class 1 spell that most archer's know. It's said that even 4th year students struggle with class 3 spells.
Eril sent Kyla to the infirmary and dismissed everyone from the room but asked Koren to stay.
"Koren don't compete in the finals…"
"What, why?"
"That boy, he's leagues above any kid your age you could get seriously hurt."
Koren stared straight into Eril's eyes
"No, I'll win."
He then turned around and swiftly exited the room without hearing Eril's response. He left the colosseum building and started to head out towards the train station.
"Master, is there something wrong with not having a purpose?"
Sebastian was caught off guard by the question.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, everyone has dreams and goals, but I seem to just do thing's for other people, not for myself."
"Why is that?"
"I'm not sure, I've never needed anything in my life. I've always just wanted my parents approval. But for the first time in my life i've felt the urge to do something for myself."
"Now what's that?"
"Beating the shit out of that asshole."
Sebastian chuckled softly
"I felt the same way, the only reason I trained to be an archer was because I didn't want to let my friends down."
Sebastian continued
"But one day I was beaten badly by some noble bastard who wanted to show off, and when I had my face covered in bruises and hands covered in blood I looked up into the sky and I swore to myself that I would never have that ever happen to me.
"So I trained hard and I learned a lot, I had my beatdown replaying in my head over and over as I trained, until one day the kingdom had a gala. I found him eating with his friends and I beat the shit out of him in front of everyone."
Koren giggled
"So that's where you're saying comes from."
"Mhmm."
Koren stopped walking and stared up at the moon admiring every part of it.
"Master do you think I will win?"
Sebastian started to grin
"Who do you think I am?"
"Huh?"
"Do you not trust my training?"
"O-Of Course I do." Koren stuttered
"You know, that kid is a monster but if he's a monster you're a demon."
"Now, tomorrow lets go out there and show everyone who the real prodigy is."

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

There's Always A Catch
Measured, clacking sounds of high-heels can be heard walking towards an elegantly decorated hall; illuminated only by the sun’s rays streaming down from glass panels, grand frescoes decorating its concave ceiling. Two imposing guards stationed at the entrance saluted as she passed by, stopping before the foot of a raised dais. “My Lady.” She reverently said, bowing deeply to the woman sitting on the throne. Eyes lazily opened and a smirk slowly forming on her tinted lips. “So it's time.” ••••• How does one act when luck granted power unimaginable. To rule? Become rich? Murder? Decisions one makes have consequences. And there’s always a catch.

Aggravated Defense (Progression LitRPG)
A quick TL;DR pitch. LitRPG Apocalypse with group progression, a non-overpowered mc, a limited skill-slot System where having a single skill over your opponent could make a big difference. A barrier mage mc who isn’t an Edgelord A sentient System that’s a character in its own right. And no harem or cheat skills. ~<>~<>~ Steven knew the world had ended when a great green and purple dome covered the city of Anchorage. Then things got weirder. First earthquakes, then bolts fell from the sky, changing and twisting the things they hit. Steven, stuck in the throes of apathy, had sought shelter out of boredom more than anything else. But when some fellow survivors are separated and trapped by a rampaging moose, an emotion breaks through his apathy. He can’t turn away. Some people say it’s everyone for themselves at the end of the world. Steven disagreed ~<>~<>~ Will update every Sunday and Tuesday at 9:00am, unless the chapter is beefy, then we'll just have one that week. For some more meta details about this story, it’s a LitRPG Apocalypse with a focus on abilities and how they are used over stats and numbers. It will have group progression, a non-overpowered protagonist, and a focus on unique and interesting classes. No overwhelming advantages for the main crew or broken cheat skills. No harem, some amount of gore, decent levels of profanity.
