“Mr. Harima, stand up, you got a visit”
A girl dressed in white with a wealthy looking hat entered the jail
“so, this is the famous Harima San?”
Princess Alejandra from Luxemburg was visiting Harima
“so, this is the real deal?”
The dude in black suit punched Harima
“be careful how you direct yourself to the Princess, commoner”
“I’m sorry princess, I was not sure if I was being lied at again”
“welcome to Luxemburg Mr. Harima”
“everyone keeps saying welcome to Luxemburg but I’m not sure if you are lying as I can’t see where I’m”
“take him out”
The dude in black suit took him outside and he was at the tower at the Useldange Castle, then Harima made a face of disappointment
“do you believe us now commoner?”
“if I may princess”
“so, you have manners?”
He then was on his knees
“I have to apologize for the trouble that I have caused”
“you are suspect of kidnap the second Princess”
“where is her majesty?”
“she is back at home”
“My Lady, you don’t have to answer him”
“what about Izanagi and Izanami?”
“she doesn’t have to give explanations to you commoner, know your place!!!!!!!”
He punched Harima
“haven’t you seen that I’m unarmed person and that violence has never give born anything good?”
“it looks like you are a person with education after all Mr. Harima”
“Princess, I beg you to let me explain my story, would you forgive Anna and her bodyguards life?”
“what do you mean Mr. Harima, I’m not going to order their execution, we are not at that Era anymore”
Harima made a reverence and placed his head one centimeter from the floor
“I beg you to listen what I have to say”
Princess Alexandra could not keep the tough acting and she told him to raise his head
“Princess, be careful, he could be a double agent!”

“I’ll take responsibility if anything goes wrong”
“I’m very grateful for your mercy Princess Alejandra, no wonder your country is considered a happy country”
“well, not everything on internet is true Mr. Harima”
They started walking
“my country is a very peaceful place but nothing comes as easy as it sounds, there are people in our country that doesn’t think that the duchy is worthy to lead their path, even when the country is considered one of the happiest countries on the world”
“that’s what Anne said”
“we might not look like we would dirt our hands on politician matters but we actually do help the country, if we don’t participate as much is because we know how politicians works on our century, we believe in the church and we are loyal to it, and seeing the world covered with sin and profaning even the laws made by politicians made us, the royalty, think twice before approving them”
“it makes sense but it also has it counters, we have the same thing in Japan with the Emperor and first minister”
“so, you understand our position, we are at the point that our life is at risk, we have several bodyguards for each member of the royal family”
“I see”
“so how did you get involved with Anne?”
“I was passing by”
“what?”
“I always wanted to say that”
The dude on black suit was about to punch him but the princess stopped him by looking at him
“the truth is that Yamiko/Izanagi is a friend of mine”
“how so?”
“you won’t believe it but she plays an online game and she is part of our team”
The princess made a face of disappointment
“that girl”
“sorry, maybe I should not be telling you this”
“so why did you attack our people at the train station?”
“I think Anne, Izanagi and Izanami lied to me”
“what do you mean?”

“they said that someone from the party called “Dei Lenk” were going to ambush us at the train station”
“they lied to you in order to made you help them”
“so, there is no group called Dei Lenk?”
“there is and that’s why we need to keep the members of the royal family within the country”
“so technically you sent your people to bring back Anne to Luxemburg?”
“pretty much, yea”
“I guess, I’m too young to understand spy’s behavior”
“they exist to lie, we are a bit worried because we could have double agents on our side”
“there was other thing that I found strange, I didn’t see the name of Princess Anne on the list of heirs for the Duchy, that’s part of the reasons I could not believe her”
The dude in black suit was about to move again but the princess stopped him by looking at him
“didn’t Anne tell you about that?”
“no”
“I’m not the right person to tell you, she is the one that have to tell you if she is willing to”
Back to the Castle
“so, where is Anne?”
“she is in her room; do you want me to call her?”
“I don’t know if she would like to see me though”
Princess Alejandra and Harima were at Anne door room
“Anne, Harima is here”
Princess Alejandra didn’t finish saying the words when the door opened and princess Anne jumped into Harima
“HARIMA! HARIMA!”
“calm down, I’m fine”
“we didn’t hear about you after we separated at the station, I thought we were not going to see you again”
Anne was crying
“calm down, there is no need to cry”
“did my sister hurt you?”
Anne looked at Alejandra
“this is why I didn’t want to let you go to Japan, you are still a kid”
Anne face turned sad and then Harima tried to cool things down
“but we are back, aren’t we?”
“I have some matter to attend, I leave Anne in your hands Harima”
“why did you lie to me Anne? And more important, where is Yamiko and Shirayuki?”
“they are practicing self-defense with their boss, look we have to go outside I need to tell you something”
“ok”
Anne was looking really pretty in her princess outfit
“do you know if Annabel is ok?”
“Yamiko contacted her”
“ok”
“so, what did you wanted to talk to me?”
“we need your help Harima”
“with what now?”
“we need to go to Hiratsuka”
“why don’t you ask Alejandra for permission?”
“we have scheduled to attend Wimbledon”
“Wimbledon?”
“well, do you play tennis?”
“no”
“well, there is something about my sister that you might not know, but she has an arranged marriage with a man called David Goffin”
“who is him?”
“he is from Belgium and he is participating on the tournament, the party “Dei Lenk” is planning to do something at the tournament so I’m trying to make my sister avoid going to Wimbledon”
“but that is tomorrow, we could have time to go back to Hiratsuka by the 6th don’t we?”
“yes, but I have a bad feeling about her going”
“look, we have to cooperate with your sister if we want to go to Hiratsuka with her permission”
“ok”
“also, I asked Alejandra about why your name was not on the list of heirs for the Duchy”
Anna looked surprised and turned her face away from Harima
“because that was the reason why I didn’t believe you in the first place”
“……..”
“you don’t have to tell me, I will believe you this time, but we will need an excuse if you plan on going to Hiratsuka with me”
“I’ll figure out something”

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)

Long Island
Long Island was not the first virtual reality game or to say a VRMMORPG. Not the one which changed the world and became a legend. No, it was made when there were lots (quite a few) of virtual reality games already on the market. Each game had its own unique AI feature, its own unique adventure, promising everyone a chance to become King, if not a God. In such a time Long Island was made. Just a little different, just a little unique. Swamy was starting his own adventure, in life and in game.Note - Thanks @DameCarnelian for the cover. Just so people don't get confused, that ship is not Raka's ship :)
