《An Ancient's Leisure》Chapter 15
Advertisement
Mary Rose follows Johnny back to the forest and frowns. “How come you're training the snake but not me? It's a little unfair don't you think?” She asks, displeased.
Johnny smiles. “In case I'm not around, this snake will be your biggest help. If it can achieve the height I think it can, then I won't have to worry about your safety.” He says.
“Hmm.” Mary Rose says, letting the matter go. “Hey, Lucy says she came over the other day.” She couldn't help but say. If she was being honest, she was very worried about this matter.
Johnny frowns. “You shouldn’t hang around that lady. I don’t like seeing her.” He says.
Mary Rose raises an eyebrow. “Why? What’s wrong with Lucy? I don’t have people I can talk to about all this mystical stuff. She’s nice to have around.” She says, unsure what the caution was for.
Johnny lets out a sigh. “I’ll just say it. I’m very sexually attracted to that lady. Very, very sexually attracted to her. If I’m not careful, I could end up cheating on you.” He admits.
Mary Rose’s eyes widen. “That bitch! And you! How can you be so weak!? Is it really so hard to keep it in your pants!?” She exclaims, very displeased.
Johnny could only smile bitterly. “Mary Rose, I’m just a man. When a piece of meat like her walks around, I can’t stop myself from salivating. If I see her a few more times I really will cheat on you.” He says, maybe being a little too honest.
Rage overcame Mary Rose and she quickly rushed over to throw a few heavy punches at Johnny’s chest. Johnny simply accepted the beating, helpless in the matter. “You beast!! How could you!! What kind of man are you!!? Are you so faithless!!!” She yells out, tears in her eyes.

Johnny could only grab hold of her and hold her close. “Mary Rose. I don’t want to leave you. And if I can, I never will. I fear its you who won’t be able to accept me.” He says with a sigh.
Mary Rose buried her head in Johnny’s chest, staining his shirt with tears. “But why…” She couldn’t help but say. Eventually, she escaped from Johnny’s embrace. “Hunt by yourself! I’m leaving!” She says before stomping away.
Johnny watches her go and when she was gone, he couldn’t help but yell, “Fuck you, god!!”
After it was out of his system he continues to lead the snake further into the forest.
…
…
“Here. Your cultivation technique.” Johnny says, handing over a bound book.
Gordon looks at the technique before looking at Johnny with some hope. “Are you sure you can’t heal my injuries?” He asks.
Johnny shakes his head. “I’m sorry. This is my dao.” He says simply.
The man immediately understood and he could only let out a sigh. He bows his head. “Thank you, senior.” He says. “What payment do you require?” He asks.
Johnny thinks it over, and he was in the mood to stir up a little trouble. “You can pay me in ingredients. I’ll send a list over.” He says.
…
…
Mary Rose was rolling around on her bed, unable to escape her anxiety. When finally, she couldn’t take it anymore.
She took out her phone and begin to text.
Is there anything going on between you and Johnny?
Mary Rose waited for a moment before there was a response.
Sort of… He’s clearly very interested in me… Sexually…
Mary Rose frowns.
Would you consider cheating with him?
Mary Rose waits another moment.
Well… I’d definitely prefer not to…

Mary Rose frowns even harder. This bitch! She couldn’t help but exclaim.
But you’d resist right?
Mary Rose’s phone vibrated and she hurried to look.
Well…
Mary Rose’s eyes flare up and she began to type furiously.
You fucking bitch. I knew you were a whore! Stay away from my man!
Suddenly Mary Rose’s phone began to ring and Mary Rose let out some hot steam from her nostrils before answering the call.
“Bitch! You dare call me!?” Mary Rose exclaims, not caring to pull any punches.
“Mary Rose, listen. You don’t understand. You’d do the same if you were in my position. You didn’t see the way he looked at me. Like I was a prize on a high mountain peak, and he wouldn’t hesitate to steal me away. You don’t understand what that did to me. It’s like my ovaries began tingling.” A voice says on the phone.
Mary Rose’s face becomes red in heat. “You god damn bitch. You better stay away from him.” She says seriously.
“Mary Rose, I’m sorry. But if there’s an opportunity, I will sleep with him. There’s nothing I can do.” Lucy says, feeling helpless in the matter.
Mary Rose’s frustration began to build but she didn’t know what to do. She could only let out a scream and end the call. “Fucking bitch!!” She yells out.

On the other side of these portals, sits a vast new world with resources galore.

They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.

Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this new world was, in fact, the real one, and his soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience. Jack inherited the System of Knowledge from his former self in the previous world. But gradually, he realized there were other Returners, holding other powerful Systems that they themself were also granted. The reason? The Omnipotent Sphere refused to give an answer. With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for. This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on Royalroad a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support.
