「Well, while he is unconscious, let’s tie him up and stuff him into the transportation bag. 」
After knocking out the man who manipulated magic beasts I tied him with a rope and tossed him into the transportation bag—
「S-so you have such means of restraint.」
Seeing that, Cecile, who was collecting bags that the scarred man had, as well as the equipment scattered around, asked me, without concealing her surprise.
「Hm? I just thought that it might be convenient to use as a restraint since one can’t get out of the transportation bag without the permission of the owner. Isn’t that a pretty widespread application?」
「I don’t hear about bags with a capacity to hold a person that often……」
「Oh. So that’s how it is. But isn’t this nice, being able to transport them safely like this.」
Considering how I hit him, he shouldn’t wake up that easily, but if he has some magic with delayed or automatic activation that can wake him up, then it would be annoying.
「Well, that’s true. ……Ah, that’s right. About the items the man had.」
「Ah, there are some here as well, Axel-san. Three in total.」
Saying that Cecile and George handed me large leather bags.
「I searched together with George, but there were no other man-made objects. The contents of the bag were that purple powder and stones with strange color. I have no idea what they are used for…… Since it belonged to someone who named himself a majin, we collected them all.」
「I see. Thank you.」
I put the bags I received from her into the transportation bag as well.

The contents are mutually non-interfering, so even if a man who claims to be a majin wakes up, he won’t be able to use them, but—
「For now, we restrained the man and recovered the stuff that he was using for something but……Demonfolk……Majin, huh. It isn’t a good word, why would he call himself that.」
「Ehm, majin means the people who fought on the other side during the war with the Demon Lord?」
「Yes, it’s a bunch that devastated cities along with the magical beasts.」
「I see… Or rather, from your manner of speaking, you sound well-informed on majins.」
「Well, more or less. When I was involved in the war, they caused a lot of harm to those close to me, so I’m actually pretty conscious about them.」
Because of that, I went for a knockout right away.
「For such a dangerous person to be here. To begin with, such『folk』does it mean that there is a bunch of such people?」
「Maybe. During the war, I’ve never heard the name demonfolk, so we cannot discard the possibility of this being a mere ruse.」
As Majins moved at their individual discretion, they hardly formed any factions.
Therefore, we will question this man, and collect more information.
…Even though the god of investigation jobs told us after the war that we almost completely wiped them out.
Claiming to be one in this day and age is incredibly suspicious. Even if being a majin and such was a mere bluff.
「In fact we have magic stone powder here, that the supposed majin was spreading. It irks me.」
I look at the leather bag stuffed into the transportation bag. Inside was powder so purple that it even felt ominous.
「…I also want to find out what this thing is. I don’t think the scarred man will wake up any time soon, but let’s hurry up back to the city. There is no more reaction from the jewel, right?」
「Ah, yes. It seems that there is nothing made from magic stones around here anymore, so let’s call it the end of the survey and return. 」
「Sure. Nee-san, Axel-san!」
And so, as we finished our survey, for now, we would rush back to the city.

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?

Makemake
"Makemake—a planet that is found in the far edges of the system known as Sol—was once a metropolis, like all of the other planets that populate the system. Now, like all of the others, it lies as a Sleeping City, forever dormant. No one lives there anymore—it has been vacant for years. In one of the massive cities that used to have a population that was in high numbers a sound could be heard. A distant sound. A beep, or a call, a message—whatever it was, it was an electronic noise. It echoed through the dust cloud filled landscape. The sound went on for a long time. It sat in a sea of quiet; no other noise rolled over the hills and bounced off the ground—only that noise. Only that beep."

Blood Seekers -- The Monolith
Blood Seekers - Book 1, is now on Amazon, including the final chapters not posted here! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MYJ5ZRC “You will die!” That's what the developers of Blood Seekers promised them... The most challenging MMO ever created—that’s how they advertised it. Taglines like, “Not your granddaddy’s game,” and, “Only for the hardest of the hardcore,” had gamers going crazy. Set in a gothic, Lovecraftian world, with fully realized A.I. NPCS, gamers were desperate to get their hands on the new game and dive in, and Clay was one of them. It was going to be tough, but he was ready for it. What he wasn’t ready for, was countless players having their minds hijacked and being transformed into mindless, hostile creatures filled with nothing but hate who killed anyone on sight. They called them the Bloodless. Clay’s best and only friend, Rey, moved across the country she was twelve, but they kept in touch online, playing countless games together, and when Blood Seekers was released, they were both ready to step up to the plate and face the new challenge together. But now, Rey has been taken by the plague, her mind held hostage as one of the Bloodless. A mysterious black monolith has appeared at the center of the highest level zone in the game, a place no one has even come close to. Some say it will provide us with answers. Others say it will only lead to more questions. Who’s behind all this? Why are people’s minds being taken? Will we ever get to bring them back? How many more will be lost if we stay logged in? Nothing is certain, but if there’s any chance that reaching the monolith will bring Rey back back, then Clay will do everything he can to reach it. This is Book 1 in a new series from Stephen Roark! I will be posting chapters here until the book is done and published on Amazon!
