SUMMONED HERO
Day by day the people reading this series is decreasing.. Did i took a wrong turn? Hahahaha...------------------
Chapter 19
Part 1
I suffered some damaged as divine punishment from Rosalie.. Leaving me on the verge of dying. Luckily it was already late at night so I can sleep and recover my health..
Because the size of the catacomb is enormous, each one of us has our own room. When I wake up in the morning, naturally Irene is there. Finishing her job and leaving immediately.
Today, we're going to discuss on how to remove 'Not even a Bystander' power. Helping a wild demon like Irene isn't something that comes by every day, and the consequences is high. I almost died in the process. Even my willingness to help Rattaniel the first only increases my defense by one point.
So now, we need some strategy for me to help people but not too attract too much attention. Because I'm a human in demon territory and not much know that I was summoned by the Demon King. Moreover I still need to keep my unimportant existence.
"So, Onii-chan what do you want to do?
"hmm.. I don't know.. This power seems to be greatly affected when I helped Irene. But when I accept Rattaniel request it didn't change much."
"Helped Irene huh?"
Rosalie gives her cold remark.
"I think, you have to help a lot of demon to remove it. Helping the Nymph brings you to the edge of your death, thus increased it greatly. Not every day you can help someone till you have to risk your live. Also with your power and extreme health, I'm afraid that you'll be on critical condition on regular basis."
As expected of Valeera, she could easily tell the circumstances..
"Irene, is there another Nymph that wants to do their ritual that I can help?"
I'll try to pretend that I didn't feel Rosalie's killing intent and look at Irene, but she shook her head.

"Not at the moment’s master. As you have known, reaching level 80 is very hard. Especially for demons like us that is peaceful by nature. We can only gain experience and leveled up by training ourselves. Naturally regular Nymph can reach level 80 in 150 years at the fastest record. It should work the same with other demons."
"eeeh, how old are you?"
"It's not too polite to ask about a girl's age master."
She sends me a wink and smile but I can sense some threat mixed in.
Alright.. I guess it's a taboo to ask girls about their age. At the moment it was impossible for me to ask Rosalie's, Alice's and Valeera's age too. So let's change the topic.
"Is there a demon territory that has an abusive leader, always torture their subordinates, maybe even taking high tax or demon thing with force?"
I still don't know how the territory or leadership is done in this demon region. As far as I know there is0 that the Demon King = absolute ruler. Demon generals = leader of a clan/tribe. I don't know about anything else. I don't even know if there's a city and civilization to visit to buy underwear for Irene.
"Aaah.. If you describe it like that, there is one."
Valeera quickly answered my question.
"Valeera.. Are you perhaps referring to that region?"
Rosalie is asking with worry.
"As one could expect from the princess.. You have vast knowledge and understanding. Yes, it's that region. That person really fit Kuro's description."
Alice seemed to notice something too and asking with an afraid tone.
"Onee-chan.. Are you talking about him?"
Rosalie just nodded and Alice body immediately trembles.
I feel I just stepped into a landmine with my question. Hearing that region and that person, and him without hearing something is worrisome.
"Who are you talking about and where is that place?" I asked.

"We only refer him to 'you-know-who' or 'he-who-must-not-be-named'."
(did it ring a bell)
To be regarded as that, how dangerous is this person. Like the Demon King whom until now I didn't know the name of. Everybody is calling him the Demon King. For your nickname to be so well known more than your real name, you should have great influence, power, or achievements.
"So, who is this guy and where can I find him?"
"If you face him and go against him, the probability of you completing you’re not even a bystander is very high. But I advised you to not go and we can think of other ways."
Rosalie is answering with some concern.
Being told not to meet him makes me want to meet with this you-know-who even more.
Irene being silent from the moments this man is mentioned just shivered in a corner.
"You know something about this don't you?"
I tapped her shoulder and asked. But she keeps being silent.
"I won't give you anymore seed if you don't want to answer."
"Maaastteeer..."
She just said that and cries.
"What do you think you're doing Onii-chan?"
Alice comes and embraced Irene with her small body and patted her head.
"Come now.. Don't cry.. Onii-chan I hate you *humph*."
Alice and Irene have got extremely close. Maybe it's because their course of action towards me is similar.
"Alright I'll tell you. But you have to go there alone okay?"
Rosalie is now looking at me with a serious face.
I look at Irene and whisper to her. In a soft voice to make sure Alice didn't hear this.
"If I go alone, you won't be able to drink my seed."
But she answers me while keep crying.
"hiks... don't worry master.. Hiks.. If I emptied your seed for a whole night, I can keep it in for a week. Hiks.. I really don't want to go.. Hiks..."
I don't know how to give a response to that answer. I just looked back at Irene and nod. Then I shift my gaze towards Rosalie and Valeera.
"Okay, I'll go alone. Tell me more regarding this man."
Part 2
Valeera and Rosalie give me an explanation regarding this man.
"This man had a title once. It was the Prince of Darkness. His real name is unknown. He kidnaped the whole Tribeca race and kept them as prisoners. It was done for more than ten years."
"Tribeca race is known as a race well known for their sensitive reflex and hearing. They are demon with appearance of a cat. They were spread all over the demon region because they usually work as peddlers."
"For you-know-who to openly kidnap each one of them from all over the continent it was already weird. What’s more, even with the Tribeca race sensitive hearing, they were all kidnapped without resisting or shouting for help. It is said more than five thousand of the Tribeca race have been kidnaped."
"He-who-must-not-be-named made a name for himself by doing this. He lives in the Pervaria town . Now, the Pervaria town no longer has any other resident because of him. Some high demons tried to free the Tribeca race but they all failed. Three generals have gone to fight him but they also all failed. His power is probably on par with the Demon King."
"If you're successful in freeing the Tribeca race, I believe you'll be able to remove your 'Not even a Bystander' power."
After hearing that I really want to meet this man. It's not that I really care about saving the Tribeca race, but I get a feeling that he is similar to me.
"Alright. I'll try to save the Tribeca race."

I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage
Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read. However, as Suna, she was the laziest person with no motivation, possibly attributed to the fact that she didn't go into a major that was her strongest suit. Now that she has a high affinity towards magic and wishes to go into it, will she be able to change her lazy self for the better, or will she go back to being lazy like the villainess in the novel? Can she become a Great Sage and live life happily this time? Note: This is not a "revenge of the villainess" novel, but rather a "rise to fame" novel. A/N: This is just an experimental novel and criticisms are much appreciated, but I'm extremely defensive of my own work and characters. If you are here to put down a novel, please remember, first of all, you are not paying anything to read this, and second of all, authors are humans too.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.
