Chapter 55: Everything is Moving!
Outside, at one of the top Broadcasting Companies
Two people could be seen talking to each other. One was a young man and the other was a middle-aged man. A pile of complex looking document was neatly placed on the middle-aged man desk. It seemed like something that the young man had just given to him.
"President, everything is ready, we have no problem launching it tomorrow," said the young man in his twenties. The combination of his cheerful face and his neat attire were pleasing to the eyes.
The president nodded with a smile.
"Wonderful. Great job for finishing it a bit faster than our rivals. I'm pretty sure that we could gather more viewers by releasing it early"
"Thank you, It's all thanks to the team's hard work these past days," the man humbly replied.
The president looked at the topmost document, casually flipping it while reading. His expression then changed into one of an astonishment.
"This... is better than I thought. How do you think it would be? Will it succeed?"
Hearing the president's compliment, the young man's expression brightened. But he tried his best to suppressed it, maintaining a professional attitude.
"I think it will. You haven't played the game, so maybe you won't understand. This game is... how to say it... special. I tried the game myself only to research it, but I ended up having a great time inside. Maya has a lot of potentials, and we need to seize it as soon as possible."
The president looked satisfied with his answer, he closed the document he was reading and said, "I believe in you. Thanks for the work."
"Thank you, president, I'll excuse myself then"
"Oh wait, one more thing," the president suddenly stopped him.
The young man turned around with a confused expression on his face.
"It's already late, don't play the game and just rest. Tomorrow will be a huge day, Adrian"
Adrian only replied with a smile. How can he stop playing the game at this moment? A big quest was waiting for him.

...
"This should be my 12th," said Dreg in a confident tone.
"Well, 12th was my last battle. This one," Ragna pointed at the Red Demon Scout he had just killed, "is my 15th."
Dreg's expression turned sour, "Urgh, it's not fair to compare with a mage!"
Ragna rolled his eyes, "I killed most of them in a close combat, you know"
Dreg avoided the topic, "Umm... We have killed a platoon's worth of scouts. I can sense that they have become warier and slowed their march"
"Then? What next? Should we just head back?"
"Yeah, It's becoming harder and harder to find stray scouts. Most of them have grouped up, I think"
"Okay, let's go," Ragna turned around to head back to the base, followed by Dreg.
On their way back.
"Hey," Dreg suddenly called him.
"What?"
"You sure have a strange class, don't you?"
"Well, you are just about the same"
Dreg shook his head, "No, I think your class is special. It should be one or two step higher than mine"
Ragna disagreed with him, "It's because of my combat ability. Most of my skills are self-created"
"Self-created?" Dreg was astonished, "Damn, I thought I was quite exceptional for creating one skill, turns out there are other people who made more"
"Don't be depressed, you can always create more," Ragna replied.
"Create more? If skills can be created that easily, I would have created a LOT of skills. Then, no one under the heavens can escape my daggers!"
Ragna only laughed in response. It seemed like this fellow was quite amusing, he thought inwardly.
It was at this moment that suddenly his expression turned serious.
"Wait," He halted.
"Yeah," Dreg also had a serious expression on his face. His playfulness had long gone.
"We are surrounded."
Suddenly, twenty Red Demon Scouts showed up from every direction. On the front was one that had a different aura compared to the others. She had two horns protruding from her head. Her equipment was a whole realm higher than other Red Demons.

The two-handed swords in her hands were emitting a blood-red aura. The most frightening were her eyes that emitted a cold bloody killing intent.
Nineteen Red Demons Scouts plus one Red Demon Leader, this battle will undoubtedly be rough.
...
Back at the Matrava Continent, inside one of the big city near the capital.
A young woman could be seen appearing at the beginner altar. She was clad in her female beginner clothes, proving that she had just started the game.
She looked a bit timid, but it only served to increase her cuteness and charm. She looked around a bit confusedly, seeming to be astonished by the game. The sight of her being dazed was pleasing to the eyes of the onlookers, making most of them couldn't help but keep staring at her.
She was, of course, Dania.
After 3 weeks of their first launch, the place where the beginners first spawn had been changed to the normal city instead of the beginner town. The beginner town only served as an initiator for players to choose the combat-related profession because they were needed to pave the way forward for the next batch of players. It also served as a place for people to level up in a fair manner.
A beginner city had to spawn countless numbers of monsters to prevent the players from having no monster to grind at. That was why the beginner city existed, to balance things out and see the players' reaction right after the launch.
Now that everything was settled, the developer changed the system to make the beginners started in a normal city instead. By doing it, they hoped that more beginners could choose more production-related professions at an earlier level.
Plus, by spawning in a city, the interaction the beginners make would be interesting to see. It was far better than spawning in a beginner city where one had to leave after reaching level 10.
Why waste resources on a place that would be forgotten? That was what the developers thought.
Before long, Dania realized that she had been the object of everyone's gaze. She blushed and quickly ran toward the exit.
Now that she was already outside, she sighed while saying, "This game is indeed different. It's almost like reality except for the scenery. If the background was our current world, then I might not be able to see the differences."
"I have entered the game like what Mrs. Rina had asked me to do. Now, what?" She muttered while walking aimlessly.
"Should I find a quest? or go on a hunt? I'm still weak so I guess the latter wasn't possible. I can't ask other people to bring me, everyone seemed so scary," She thought depressedly.
'Well, I don't mind if it was him, though'
Her mind suddenly wandered to the image of a young man that he had just reunited these past days. Without her knowing, a hint of a smile could be seen on her face.
"Raka should be playing this game, I saw her scribbling things in his journal. That must be it."
"Should I ask him to accompany me? That should be troublesome for him. He must have been busy himself. I heard that there is a huge quest happening currently," she shook her head.
"What to do... What to do..."
While busily mumbling by herself, she suddenly stumbled into a huge building. The building had an ancient aura emanating from it. It was as if the place had existed from the time when the city had just been built.
A library!
Dania's eyes brightened at the sight of it, she instantly made her decision and entered the building unhesitantly.
What could be more interesting to the eyes of an author except for books?

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D

Mark of the Lash
Born from a precarious relationship between a Drow and his prize, Serena Lash struggles to find her place, and herself, as she fights to persevere through the hardships life throws her way. A story born from a D&D game I am currently a part of. The narrative will follow the events of the campaign as closely as possible, with some events having been tweaked to better fit into a written story. A slow burn, the narrative does skip around a bit due to the nature of the campaign, considering that not everything in the game needs to be written about. This will begin to peter out the further the story progresses, but for the first parts, expect a bit of skipping!
