I’ve been almost running with Lora in my hands for half an hour, but already we can see the huge white walls that we once saw. I was at least prepared to use 2 or 3 potions for this, but I didn’t have the right sense of space. We came closer and closer to the gate and we saw no one. We were both surprised at this sight, since the last time there was a bunch of people outside who waited.
Coming closer and closer, we noticed 2 guard at the front of the gate with their spears. We didn’t really know what the situation was, so we were cautious and came to them with a kind smile. Of course we were just pretending. When we came up to them, we introduced ourselves as some merchants, even though we didn’t resemble ones at all.
They were eyeing us suspiciously, but they let us pass through the gates. After we got in, the people at the streets were sad and there was a sorrowful atmosphere. It resembled a giant funeral. As for what they were doing, they were picking up bricks and cleaning the streets. We didn’t notice what happened to our surroundings at all. It seemed as this place was a battleground of some monsters. Buildings were half demolished and the colors that were previously here were all dead looking. It was really sad. We hurried to a random person and asked what happened, but she didn’t even look at us.

“Don’t try asking what happened here. They will only give you a response like that. Or should I say no response at all.” A strange person with a brown colored fur jacket came behind us. Then he continued: “My name is Alex, and I came here with the same intention as you two: to make some money selling. When I got here 2 days ago, they were even gloomier. Luckily someone has already told me actually happened here.”
We were looking at him with expecting look as to suggest that he should continue.
“What? You think I can just tell you stuff without anything in return?” He raised his hand at us, expecting some money to be there so that he can continue talking.
Instead of money, what I gave him, which he accepted with a confused expression on his face, was a potion that was able to make someone go into the state of fear. It was kind of a poison, but I didn’t really find any use for it. I figured he would like to take it.
“This is a type of poison that would make a person fear everything he sees for a day. It isn’t easy to make and you probably never seen it before, right?” (me)
“Right… I never heard of such a poison. So, as I was saying, what happened here is that the dessert worms and their king finally came to devour the whole city. Who let them in you might be wondering. Well if it wasn’t for the stupid merchants who desperately were awaiting for them to open the gates. When they finally breached in, they brought in the worms too. They were really smart, those worms. They knew something like that would happen sooner or later, so they awaited the exact moment and used it perfectly.” (Alex)

“The city wasn’t prepared for it at all. There were the guardsmen, but they only had spears and bows to defend against them. Of course they have lost, but when the Earl heard what happened, she herself came and demolished the pitiful worms. They didn’t stand a chance for her incredible magic. Seems like her fire was too hot for the worms. Too bad that she couldn’t finish off the king worm. If she were to finish him, these people would be happier right now. The worms were too smart at the end. They ran and broke the gate that you just passed through.” (still Alex)
“People here all started collaborating to fix the gate as soon as possible, not to give the chance to the worms again. They managed somehow to fix the gates, but everything in the front of the city was in pieces. A lot of people died that day as well. Now everyone is in deep sorrow because of that. Earl went all out that day, so her powers are now really minimal. She is not in a good condition. During the last few days she tried every medicine there is, but none helped. Looks like she will be crippled to the end of her days…” (you know who…)
“I see, thanks for the brief. We greatly appreciate your cooperation. It’s just that you should all be happy. The reason being that we just killed the worm king!” (me)
“Wait, did you just said that you killed that giant worm?” (random guard number 1)
“You must be joking, you two can’t even harm an ant. How can you possibly kill that giant thing and get away alive?” (the guard next to him)
“You don’t have to believe me, you can just ask these purple eyes that are the size of my palm.” (me)
Everyone looked amazed at the two large eyeballs. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
The people did hear that, but they didn’t feel happiness. They were still sad.
“It’s great that you managed to slay that giant worm, but you didn’t bring back their loved ones.” (Alex)
“At least they don’t need to worry about it returning.” (me)
“That’s true. Look, if you managed to slay that worm, maybe you could do something about the Earl?” (Alex)
“Hmm, I do have some healing potions, which could maybe help… Alright, lead me to her right away!” (me)
“Follow me then…” (Alex)

The Book of Rune
If you like moderately well-researched semi-medieval military logistics with some fantasy twists, and also conspiracy, and exploration, and violence, and maybe a dash of road movie, hey, Ruen just might be your thing. Plot-wise, basically there's a guy who got fired by Death, a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and a slave general who wouldn't mind retiring but ended up on a mass suicide mission. If you were looking for a less TL;DR version, a guy who got fired by Death meets a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and they try to get the guy un-fired while also trying to come to terms with death together (ooohhhh, look, I'm deep). Meanwhile a slave general does something stupid and ends up being sent on a suicide mission, and he tries to wreak havoc and save lives at the same time. The threads come together, I swear. This is a rough draft of a fantasy semi-book that I've had in the back of my head for some time. I've written a variety of short stories set in the world over the past three years, and I finally kicked myself into writing the actual story. Very much a slow work in progress. Occasional violence (okay, well, maybe more than occasional), occasional foul language.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
