《Arden's place》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Opening an inn was not a sudden thought in Arden's mind. He had this plan in mind even before he was teleported to this strange world against his will. But the circumstances he was in, especially the loss of his father at the age of 16, kept this a dream.
But the money they had taken from the bandits had brought back this longing that he had hidden in his heart.
“Thanks for the tea, Mr. alex”
Arden was sitting in the President's room to talk price with the head of the workers' guild. Although the room was not very small, the tools and equipment in the room made the room look smaller than it was. These tools could have been placed in a different location, but the Guild master seemed to deliberately want these tools to be in view.
“Haha, it doesn't matter, my cousin knows an elven trader, this tea is one of the latest from the elven lands”
Alex was a person in his mid-50s. Despite his age, his hair was thick and black except for a few strands. He had a very muscular build. It was obvious that he had worked in the construction business for many years.
“Mr. Arden, how can we help you as a workers guild?” he said.
“As a matter of fact, I am planning to build a building for the place I will buy from land sales, I wanted to get a price for it”
“Huh, outside the walls?”
"Where exactly is it? if it is too far, the costs may increase and what kind of building are you thinking of?
“Although I am not entirely sure, I plan it to be in the area by the lake. As for the building, I think it is a 2-storey 30-room inn, although I do not have any plans”

“Hmm, if we don't go overboard with the design it will be between 25-35 gold”
The price he heard made Arden think. If everything went according to plan, he could have the inn of his dreams with the money in hand. Arden stood up to leave, thinking it was rude to steal Alex's time as nothing was certain.
“Thanks for the tea Mr.Alex I'll stop by to talk in more detail when everything is finalized”
“You are always welcome Mr. Arden”
Arden left the Workers' guild and started walking towards the pool, where they had agreed to meet Matt.
As he approached the pool, he saw Matt sitting on the edge of the pool waiting for him.
“Hey matt, how did things go in the Adventurers guild”
Matt took a card from his pocket and held it up to Arden's face.
“I joined my friend, I am joining the training team 3 days later”
“Congratulations, food is on you”
"Of course, what did you do, are you still determined to open an inn"
“If all goes according to plan, we will be getting our new home very soon, my friend”
Ardem couldn't help his smile.
“Then you're on the drinks, by the way, can you do something to the beer quality when you open your inn, all drinks like dishwater,” said Matt.
"Let's go to the inn, my stomach is ringing," said Arden
Contrary to the time the two had arrived at the town square, they had arrived at the inn held by Mr.kurt in 15 minutes.
—-----
On the contrary, the 2-day waiting period passed rather quickly, especially when there was a huge city to explore in front of them.
Arden and matt primarily wanted more detailed information about that leveling system.
The reason they wanted know this lay in the class they won on the first day.

Once they achieved this class, the speeches of the bandits around them changed from strange sounds to meaningful sentences.
But the most interesting thing was that this did not seem like a situation that only happened to them. When they joined the caravan, they definitely understood that everyone in this world was included in this leveling system.
While they were in the caravan, they could not investigate this matter in detail, as there was a risk that others would find out where they came from. But there was a library in the city, and when they found a new source where they could get information without asking anyone, they made the library their home, the entrance fee of which was 1 copper.
“This is crazy”
“It's like we've fallen into a game,” Arden said.
“Yeah it's a poorly made game, I wish it was a game with a status window or something”
Matt's eyes lit up as he had an idea.
“Status!” Matt shouted suddenly.
Arden looked towards him, thinking that Matt had discovered something.
“What”
Matt looked around, obviously disappointed.
"At least I tried, man," he said, raising his hands.
“I think we have the same system as those who live here.”
“We can only level up while asleep, did you level up after the first day?” said arden
“No, maybe I need to finish some missions as an adventurer”
They heard footsteps coming towards them as the two continued to talk animatedly.
*tap tap
"Gentlemen, please lower your voice or I will have to take you out"
“Sorry Mrs. Delvi We were just leaving”
"That would be nice"
Realizing that they had angered the librarian, Arden hurriedly packed his things. They apologized again on their way out.
"What will we do now?" said Matt.
They were two blocks from the town square. And life was flowing around them at full speed.
Arden looked up at the position of the sun. The sun was signaling that it was past noon.
“Let's go to the auction room, we don't want to miss it, we don't have a watch to tell the time,” Arden said.
“It was pretty bad that our phones were running out of battery.”
They both had their phones on them when they got here, but when they were caught by the bandits, all they had was a trophy to the bandits. Fortunately Mr. Kurt had returned his belongings. Both of their phones were back in their hands undamaged.
“I don't think we'll be getting electricity anytime soon, man,” Arden said.
After a short journey by watching the surroundings, they arrived in front of the building where the auction would be held. Contrary to Arden's expectation, there was no crowd filling the front of the building. It was as if everything was in its normal process. Arden wondered if he had gotten the days mixed up. And he walked towards the building.

Chronicles of the last Leïn
This is the story of a child. One who should be dead, as nothing survives them. But the child fled and was rescued, through an act that broke prophecies and shattered Truth. Even though it was only an extended arm. Now, after excaping true horror, she faces the challenge of the grim reality. She needs to adapt; to survive, but also simply to live. Even though she was never meant to. This a world of fantasy. Magic exists, marvelous creatures roam the lands. But in no way is this reality fantastical, magical, or forgiving. It is one ruled by the Imperatrix. It takes place in an Empire that was created on the ashes of the War. And as it is true everywhere, its rules are made by the powerful, the rich and the mindless masses. [Release schedule is one chapter every two weeks on Fridays 8PM GMT+1 until I get myself in a good writing stride, and then I'll go back to one chapter per week.] (I am an aspiring author working full-time on my passion in the hope of one day being edited in either French or English, as I write in both languages.)

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

Shizuka
A/N: I'm actually writing two stories at once, this and another story on ScribbleHub. I have decided to put Shizuka on hiatus due to some RL issues but my story on ScribbleHub will continue since I'm co-writing it with a friend which is easier. Please do check it out on ScribbleHub. Series name is Walking in Shadows. Four Heroes were summoned from earth to combat an evil threat in Evarenan but there was a fifth person, Hirano Shizuka. She was never meant to be summoned. It was purely coincidental and unintentional. The God who acted as the intermediatery for the summon, has shunned her. Fated to live a harsh life in a foreign world. Abaddon, a Goddess, the Empress of Night, took pity upon Shizuka. Fascinated by the strength of her will and soul, and fond of her humble and accepting character, the Goddess offered Shizuka to be her Champion which Shizuka accepted. A month passed after the arrival of the Heroes and a plus one at Evarenan, the real trials and nightmares of this world had only just begun for our offworlders, especially Shizuka. AN: Shizuka is the sequel to Overture of an Odyssey, which takes place after the events of the latter.

Mother World

Rule #2: Don't act like a cliche horror movie character. Rule #3: Being strong is a plus---------------------------This story was inspired by a dream I was in and I just had to turn it into a written story. This is basically my very first attempt at creating a story beyond ten pages and I'm writing it for fun so please be gentle~ Mother World will contain some sci-fi, elements of fantasy, supernatural powers and of course some romance. When it comes to the romance it'll be gradual. The romance may or may not contain sex scenes as I'm not sure if ya'll would want my half baked attempts at tickling your fancy. The horror tag is there because I am a really big fan of horror games. I'll try not to be too excessively gory, however... there will be blood... I like to treat my characters like those in game of thrones. Screw plot armor! As for the tragedy tag...ya'll will just have find that out for yourselves won't ya! :)Also beyond chapter 4.5, I'll try and consistantly keep them at 1000+ words.
