概要

Henry embarks on the journey of his lifetime. His will is indomitable. Unmoving. Henry himself however isn't unmoving. He is moving - at walking speed. His pace is perfect. Can anyone stop him?

Chapter 1He who walks

Finally Henry had fulfilled his debt towards the forest village leader. He grabbed the straps of his brown leather bag and adjusted them slightly. The young man looked back at his home one last time before turning away, taking the very first step on his journey. Right after that, he took another step after the first, and another, and another, and another.

He walked.

And he didn't stop either. Because he had literally just started. It wouldn't have been a journey if he already stopped now. You'd call that a stroll. Henry wasn't a stroller. He was a man who walked.

Name: Henry. Age: 22. Filled to the brim with: Determination. Occupation: None right now but fond of walking.

Young people leaving the village to experience the vastness of the world for themselves has become something of a tradition. It's mostly the opposite of a tradition since it's a recent phenomenon and traditions are, well, things that have long been established. Either way. Such details aren't important in the face of the raw emotions you could experience here.

Proud fathers standing upright, brimming with pride. Mothers wiping away their tears with beautifully embroidered cloth handkerchiefs, their lips trembling. Those were the sights you could see when their children set off on their adventure. All grown up.

Rose tinted glasses aside, reality was more bleak. Who would want to actually stay out here? There was nothing here for young people. Hell, by now there were barely any young people left. They all set off on their adventures to experience the world of.. a job in the city. Where there were actual jobs.

Usually people would embark on their adventures when they were a few years younger. Many of them at 17 to enroll at the Academy of Magic. Or at 16 if they wanted to become an apprentice in the city.

Henry would have loved to do so as well but he had his circumstances. Namely he promised himself to pay the village leader back for the help he had received years past. While he had frequently been impatient to set out, he also knew that he learned various valuable lessons that would help him on his journey going forward.

For one, Henry had learned to persevere. One of the first assignments he had received at the age of 14 was to work under the village's blacksmith, Lennard. A middle aged man with rough features, that's who Lennard was. His skin darkened and leathery due to the years of exposure to heat from the forge's coals. Just because his helper was still young didn't mean he held back assigning him tasks.

On the very first day a massive shipment of ore arrived from a village in the north at the foot of the Kandelor mountains. Henry's first job was to carry it all from the village's entrance all the way halfway up the steep hill where the forge was located.

If you're thinking that it hardly makes sense to have a forge halfway up a hill then you're completely right. The village planners mistakingly swapped the location of the forge and the look out. That lead to the settlement frequently getting attacked by the Kobolds roaming about. Usually they were easy to deal with as a well positioned look out would spot them ahead of time and provide ample time to prepare and repel the attack. But alas, bureaucracy had gotten in the way of things.

Village history aside, Lennard knew the task would require around a week to be carried out. At the time Henry hadn't learned the importance of common sense yet however. Because of that he started running back and forth between the storehouse next to the forge and the village gate, carrying unhealthy amounts of ore on his back.

As the day progressed, Henry's pace slowed down from a run to a jog. While the amount of ore within the storehouse kept rising, Henry's pace kept falling. When the sun was about to set and Lennard had just finished an absolutely massive, terrifying battle axe made from only the finest steel, Henry could be seen approaching him in the metal's reflection. He was walking towards Lennard.

At that moment Lennard couldn't help but to feel that something about Henry had changed. The way he walked was a thing of beauty. There were no unnecessary motions. His stride was perfect.

He remembered how Henry had ran to greet him in the morning. That was the last time he ever saw Henry run.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation.

And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ...

Disclaimer: I'd received a few complaints from some readers that my MC is not a real villain, and I have to agree; if you're looking for some complete psycho MC who burns random farmer villages down just for fun then don't read. The MC is a ruthless man who does evil things from time to time, but only to his enemies or those he considers to be true scum. He gains no joy from tormenting strangers. Also don't read if you want a story about buying s*x slaves and r*ping them, that doesn't happen in this novel. He will treat the women he wants to be with as if they were normal people, whether they're slaves or not.

Strongest Mage with the Lust system

[ Warning: Mature content R-18 ] Is death a new begining? For Max, it was. Max, a twenty-year-old virgin, got attacked by a bear in forest and died an untimely death. Fortunately for him... that wasn't the end to his story. In the next instant, he found himself transmigrated into the body of a noble's youngest son in a world full of Magic, wonders and... beautiful women. As if God was making up for his untimely death, he also got a system -The Lust System. "I can become stronger just by having sex?" Join the journey of Max and watch he have the time of his life and become the strongest mage the world had ever seen before. ______________________________ [Things to be noted] 1. From the title, you should've guessed it already but let me tell you the story will be filled with many sexual adventures. So... you are welcome to enjoy them..... 2. However... don't expect MC to have sexual relations with every woman he meets. I'll be focusing on the story, and would 'Try' not to blindly throw sex scenes left and right. 3. Most importantly, this is my first time writing so the the quality of first 50 or so may be a bit lacking (But it would cause you no problem if a few minor errors don't bother you). 4. It is a slow paced story. If you want everything to be explosive and fast, maybe this isn't for you. Important Note: If you enjoy the story then don't forget to vote your GTs, Power stones and also if you can, send some GIFTS too. This poor soul would appreciate it. Also check out My other work: [ Rise of the Strongest War God ] & [ My perverted devil system ] Happy reading~ ________________
