《True Ruler》Battra? Hunt?! What is this?!!!
Advertisement
Ever since becoming a beth I could get myself a lot more delicious things at the cafeteria. Never did I ever eat something that delicious before! I loved eating at the cafeteria and usually it would be extremely full but not today.
Me: This is the first time I've seen the entrance to the freshmen's tower this empty.
Alice: Well everyone is hiding.
Clara: Wait! They are playing six feet under without us? How could they not invited us?
All of the sudden a bell could be heard all across the school. It sounded more like a siren then a bell. Hearing it, I thought that something bad happened or that the school would go on full lockdown.
Me: What's that sound?
Clara: Is that the start signal for us to go search them and tag them?
Me: I don't think that this is a game.
Alice: It is not. Today is the day the first years choose to join a battra.
Me: A what?
Alice: A battra.
Me: Still no clue.
Clara: Oh Iruma, how come you are so strong and yet don't know this kind of things?
Me: Homeschooled until now.
Does this make any sense?
Do demons even go to school at a younger age?
Meh!
I hope they buy this lie!
It does sound like Sullivan after all.
Alice: Makes sense seeing how Sullivan is doting on you.
Me: So what is battra now?
Clara: A group activity of some sort. A lot of different kind of people gather together and do what they like.
Alice: They all have either a common skill or an interest most of the time. For example, there are magic creatures battra or research battra. They are way too many of them if you ask me.
Me: Group activity you say. Sounds like fun!
Sounds like a club activity.

I never got to participate in them but I do wanted to try some out.
There was an art club I wanted to give a try...
The bow stuff club sounded as interesting too...
Maybe I should do something with sport?
Magical creatures are cute... but they are scared of me...
Maybe research?
I would most like blow some stuff up.
Alice: Whatever you choose we will be with you!
Me: Huh?
Clara: Think about it! We are a great team and it is soo much fun being around you Iruma!
Me: It is but won't you get bored? Maybe I'll pick an activity you guys don't like.
Clara: Nope! There is no such thing for me!
Alice: I am sure that I'll have some good opportunity to get a lot stronger beside you. Besides it can help raise your rank! You could become a Gimel, no scratch that a Daleth in no time!
Make it a yodh and above that!
Me: I now wanna see the battras! I am getting exited just to think about them.
Alice: Don't worry, I will protect them.
I didn't know why he was saying something like that but all of the sudden the ground started shaking and footsteps of multiple, no hundreds of students could be heard.
Me: Ahm Alice...
Before I could react he picked me up and put me on a cushion on the table.
Ahm
What are you doing?
Why are you picking me up like this?
You know that I could easily burn you!!!
The heck?!
Why...
Me: ...
Clara: This should be comfy.
Well at least it is very comfy.
Kinda like an improvised throne.
I like it.
Me: Thanks...
Alice: You will be able to see them from the entrance well from there.
Although it was just a coincident that we were in the cafeteria since I wanted to try out the new food I could order, this was what people call being at the wright place at the right time. Normally I would think of bad luck but this time I couldn't help but smile and enjoy myself until I could hear a countdown and the ground began shacking even more.

At this point I wasn't so sure anymore if this was a good idea or not. However before I could even rethink my choice of being here, the door flew open and I watched way to many demons run into the cafeteria screaming "ROOKIE HUNT!". If they really way out for a hunt then they should be carful for what they wish for because I am certainly no rookie at anything.
THE FUCK!!!
LIKE HOLY SHIT!
DOES THIS GUY HAVE A NET IN HIS ARM?
IS THAT A ROPE?!
WHAT THE?!
WHAT IS THIS?!!!
Are they out on a real hunt?
No!
Fuck that shit!
Like NO!
I don't need this crazy ness!
The moment I saw two guys flying towards me with a huge net, I decided that I had enough of it.
Me: ALICE....
One of my eyebrow was a little bit twitching because of how annoyed I was. Something told me that this was the reason he insisted of us being in the cafeteria. However he was not out here to actually look for a battra but see how I would wipe their asses.
Looking at the man beside me, I saw that he had the MOST shit eating grin on his face than I have ever seen in my life.
Alice: Go for it!
I had no time tell Alice how fucking wrong he was because of all the people running towards us. The moment I saw the net coming towards me, I stood up and snapped my fingers using my black and blue flames to put the net on fire. After that I made sure to let my bloodthirsty aura of a dragon out and looked at them. I could tell that my eye color only changed to a very deep blue of my dragon but not my pupils.
The moment I looked at everyone they all froze in place. Some of them were running at me and fell down because of how they froze other just began playing dead.
I then jumped of the table and began walking towards them while powering the magic I had running through my veins making lightning bolts around me and also using my flames to make a protective wall for my friends.
Me: Anyone still wanna catch me in a literal kind of way?
I opened my hand and began making a huge black fireball.
They all looked at me and began checking their heads. Everything was fine until the door opened once again and I saw Ameli-san entering the room and walking straight towards me.
Shit!
That's the student council president!
Will he get mad at me because I used such dramatic methods...
WAIT A MINUTE!
I didn't do anything illegal, did I?
No, I don't think so!
I was only defending my dignity and wellbeing!
Why would he come over to me then?
This doesn't make sense at all!
Scold them and don't just come over to me!
You aren't even looking at them!
Come on Ameli-san! I am sure it's illegal to just capture a student and drag them to their battra....
On second thought.. Didn't you try diong something similar with me the other day?
Like you did grab me by my collar...
*Sigh* There is absolutely no hope for the demons anymore!
Welp!
They got the wrong guy to mess with!

Dreamer/Leveler
Zachary Trenner is a freshman at Burlington High School. Despite his mundane appearance and advanced course curriculum, something strange is happening to him. Every time he goes to sleep he switches worlds. Portals are popping up everywhere, allowing access between Earth and the world of Vera. Now he must spend every waking and sleeping moment getting stronger to fight off the [Instance Dungeons] opening on both Vera, and Earth. Prepare for an RPG fiction full of magic, action, a touch of romance, and the author's own dry humor. When the modern technology of Earth meets the medieval magic of Vera, which culture will invade the other world first? When the army rangers of the United States collide with the members of the Hunter's Guild, who will win? Updates on Wednesdays/Thursdays Cover is my own creation. Tips to reading: This is my first book, so cliches and tropes are used as the base and then expanded upon. My intention is to make it a casual read but deep if you decide to look closer. I'm not a people person, so my focus and purpose for writing this is to explore the world building and magic system, not necessarily the characters. There won't be a villian until the postgame ;) Author's philosophy: I took an professional personality inventory (through a community college back in 2018) and was categorized as a "double-checker." I'm never satisfied with the work that I complete, and never want to share it with anyone. But this book is a challenge to myself! As a rule of thumb, I will only add to the story. I can't remove elements I've already included (unless absolutely, absolutely necessary). PS, I'm a native English speaker.

The Titanic Fanatic
John Doe is a relatively intelligent high school junior. He is in all the super advanced classes, gets straight A's, and to top it off, he is pretty lazy as well. However, he is quite cocky about it and has the physical strength to back it up. Needless to say, he is the target of lots of jealousy in school. No one dares to bully him, because THAT is more or less a metaphorical death wish, but he is the center of lots of gossip and attention. He has a good life. Fortunately for John, his school is the largest in the world and so there were still many students who didn't know about him to annoy him. Unfortunately for John, he attracted the attention of a certain student who seems friendly enough but definitely has ulterior motives. This student will show John something that will change his life forever... **No, this is not a romance(yet at least) and the "certain student" is a guy lol so don't get any ideas** Author's Message: Hey, everyone. I was a big reader on RoyalRoadL for three years now, but I made an account recently because I felt like writing something. This story is based on Greek Mythology but I will make up and change a lot of it however I want(note the "based"). This is my first story and I am very busy(I'm a high school junior like John lol) so I will have lots of writer's block and erratic updates. Content Warning-Keeping those tags just in case as this probably won't be a baby friendly story(jk babies r kewl, just not here)-

Cursebreaker
I'm not writing this anymore unfortunately, and I probably won't ever continue it. I guess writing is more difficult than I thought Reto Mason woke up on a mountain, and it was all downhill from there. Until they hit floor, at which point I'm surprised they didn't die to be honest. That is, they didn't die yet. We'll see what happens This is a LitRPG which does have levels and stats, but is more focused on Accomplishments, although expect some more classic RPG stuff in the future. The main focus is on skills, and skill modification/evolution in that regard. Expect some weird 4th dimension stuff eventually, and the weird things that come from there.
