《Percy Jackson, son of Voldemort》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Percy was honestly getting bored with how.. calm everything was in Hogwarts. It was disgusting how peaceful everything was and the boy had taken to exploring the castle's halls to stave of his boredom. One day he went strolling around in one of the floors when the boy had stumbled upon big wooden double doors. Percy being the person he was did not think twice about opening the doors but did so with great caution.
Inside was a simple circular shaped bedroom with bookshelves lining the walls, quiditch supplies strewn on the floors and a nice looking fireplace. It looked oddly like his own bedroom back at the Riddle manor. How strange, the boy was just thinking about his home and cozy bed. Frowning, Percy started looking around and he stopped in front of the fireplace which was brightly lit and noticed a plaque drilled to the brick.
The Room of Requirement.
Percy raised an eyebrow and left quickly, going back to the common room to write a quick letter to his father asking if he knew anything about this mysterious discovery.
Percy sent the letter first through owl post before going to lunch with the rest of his friends. Draco asked where he had been all this time and Percy answered with a short "wandering around" before swiftly changing the subject. After taking a moment to think about it he decided he wouldn't tell Draco about his discovery until he himself knew more about it. They all ate quietly but everybody can feel the excitement coursing through the air, the first years after all were about to have their first flying lesson (though it wasn't like the purebloods didn't know how to fly a broom, its just been awhile since coming to Hogwarts).
Percy didn't ate as much as usual as he knew from experience that flying too fast will do many things to a full stomach. An internal shudder went through him, some things were just better off forgotten.
After lunch the first years went to the quiditch field and found that the Slytherins were the first to arrive. They all looked at the "brooms" lying on the ground "these aren't broom, they are sticks with twigs stuck on them" Percy commented kicking the one closest to him. The Gryffindors finally came trudging down the field and as soon as they were in hearing distance Draco smirked "well I bet the Weasleys can't even buy the twigs" the blonde said loud enough for said person to hear. It was quite funny seeing the ginger get redder then his hair "well that's not a very fair bet Draco" Percy said smirking and Weasley surged forward angrily only to be stopped by Potter. Huh, maybe he got brains after all.

When the Professor finally came all they were told to stand next to a broom "put your right hand up and say UP!" she yelled. Everybody started screaming and shouting at ones and the sea green eyed boy watched in amusement "up" Percy said authoritatively and the broom immediately jump to his hand. Draco managed to succeed on his second time and the boy grinned smugly before realizing that Percy and Potter were already ahead of him "I mean you I get but Potter?" he scowled and Percy didn't said anything.
Minutes later everybody was up in the air, slowly testing their skills. Percy loved the feeling of adrenaline pumping through his vein and leaned forward, speeding past everybody else. Draco followed closely and the two did loops and spins and raced each other as fast they could. After a few minutes of flying around Professor Hooch shouted "back to the ground everybody!" and the students all obediently did as they were told.
"Now I want you all to perfect your hold on your brooms, everybody expect Mr. Riddle and Mr. Malfoy may leave- class dismissed!" everybody left the field except the two mentioned Slytherins, for some reason Weasley looked smug (as if he thought they were going to be punished or something how dull).
"That was some good job flying out there boys" she started "thank you professor" Draco replied with an oh so sweet smile "well I think the age restriction is a waste of perfectly good talent and I'm going to talk to Snape about letting you both in the Slytherin quidditch team" the professor exclaimed and both boys grinned. Professor hooch then shooed them away with a small smile so they could go to their next classes.
At dinner Professor Snape and Marcus Flint -the Slytherin quiditch captain- came over to to them "boys" Snape greeted them with a nod "I need you to come over my office for a moment to discuss something" the two wiped their mouths with a napkin and followed the professor out the great hall. Snape led them to his office down at the dungeons. The room was circular and had shelves filled with books and potion ingredients, Percy, Draco and Flint stood by a wide dark wooden table laden with parchments that was set in the back as Snape took a seat on his chair. " Hooch informed me of your supposed talents in quiditch and advised me to put the both of you on the quidditch team" Snape drawled "I talked to Dumbledore and your father Draco" said blonde grinned, if his father was involved he could get pretty much anything he want.

"Before I make any decisions you both will be evaluated by Flint here and if you are as good as professor Hooch really says you are then the both of you are welcomed to join the team" Percy restrained himself from grinning and instead nodded respectfully to the head of Slytherin and Flint before returning to dinner with a smirking Draco in tow.
Dinner was relatively normal save for the fact that a certain red head was glaring at them the entire time. It seems news travel fast here in Hogwarts. Once they finish eating Percy and Draco stood up to go back to the Slytherin dormitories when they were stopped out in the hall by a certain red headed wizard and his sidekick.
"Malfoy! Why are you still here? Thought you were already in a train back to the oh so incredible Malfoy manor" the weasel taunted, and where the hell did this idiot got the idea of Draco being expelled? Did he really think Hooch gave a dam about some stupid insults thrown around to actually report the blonde? How elementary. "Well yes the Malfoy manor is quite the site don't you agree Percy?" Draco turned to him with a gleam in his eyes "yes I'm not surprised that a Weasley would fall for the charms of such a manor considering where they live.. the Barrow is it?" Percy smirked, the red head's face burned and Potter seemed confused on what to do.
"If you think you're so great then I challenge you to a duel!" Draco pondered about the challenge for awhile and hid a smirk "I accept your challenge Weasley, Riddle here is my second who's yours?" Draco said coldly. The weasel seemed shocked at first but quickly recovered "Harry Potter is" he said smugly like it was suppose to scare them "midnight at the trophy room and you better not be late Weasley" the pureblood said rather coldly before sauntering off, Percy gave one last look at the two Gryffindors before following his friend.
Once they reach the safety of their dorm Percy turned to Malfoy "was that a smart thing to do?" he questioned Draco who was sitting in his bed with a pleased look on his face "relax I wasn't planning to go, we'll just let the information inconveniently go to a certain person and his feline friend" Percy catched on to his plan and grinned "you are brilliant Draco" the sea green eyed boy called out while digging around his trunk for his Pajamas "oh I have my moments" Draco answered, grinning a shark like grin before he went out to set his plan in motion.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
