_____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 1 - Noah Butler He looked around the unfamiliar room. It was cold and dark, just the way he liked it. There was a knock on the door. He could guess who it was. "Do you like your new room? " A soft, feminine voice that could melt the heart of the receiver came from the door. "It''s fine " The boy simply answered. Happy with an answer, the woman quietly left the room. The boy got up and strode towards the mirror. He stared at his own reflection. He had short jet black hair, blue eyes and a very pale complexion. He stood around 140 cm tall. An average height for 12 year olds, he thought. He looked closer to the mirror, and realised he had a beauty spot near his right eye. To put it simply, he looked nothing like the rest of his new family. ''Anyone could guess that I''m adopted '' He thought to himself. Noah Dwayne, now Noah Butler has been recently adopted into a wealthy family. Unlike most kids, he knew the exact reason on why such a wealthy family would want to adopt a kid like him. His real family had to give him away not because they want to, but because of financial problems. His parents couldn''t take care of Noah because the boy needed special care. Noah had Hypoglycemia, someone who suffers from Hypoglycemia often find themselves losing conciousness after vigorous exercises. Hypoglycemia is a condition in which your body has low blood sugar. When this occurs, you can faint, experience a seizure, or even go into a coma. As a result, Noah''s parent had to frequently send him to the hospital. A wealthy family could easily cover the hospital bills, and by that thought his parents decided to send Noah away so that he could live healthily. But that''s not the only reason. Noah was what you call a child genius. He was smarter than most kids his age, even to some of the older ones. He could solve mathematical and scientific problems without batting an eyelash, and could easily learn another language. He now speaks five different laguanges. English, French, Mandarin, Swedish and Italian. He could even enter college at the tender age of 12. *** He gained a new younger sister and a brother his age from his new family. Honestly, he was quite pleased. Since he was an only child before, he was always alone at home. He did appreciate peace, but he couldn''t help but feel lonely sometimes. He opened the window in his new room. A soft, cool breeze swept his face. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. His room was on the 3rd floor of the mansion. Outside, he could see a pretty fountain that resembled a huge bird. He observed the fountain, the bird seemed to have human hands and instead of feathers, it had hair. The water was blue, much to his surprise. He had never actually seen blue water before, only in cartoons. His eyes lingered towards the sound of chirping that could be heard from his room. From a distance, he could see a lot of different species of birds in a white cage. He thought that maybe this family was huge on birds. They even trimmed trees like birds. He rubbed his eyes, closed the window and sat on his bed. He reached for his backpack on the coffee table and took out the mobile phone that was given to him by his step father. He never held a real phone before, only toys. He remember his step father telling him that he could call his parents whenever he missed them. He tapped on the contact icon and immediately saw his mother''s name on the screen. He wondered if he should call them now but decided not to after realizing that they live on different sides of the world now. Since it was evening here, it should be midnight over there. He put his phone down on the coffee table, and lied down flat on his stomach. Just when he was about to close his eyes, someone knocked on the door. "Noah? Can I come in?" This time it was a masculine voice. It was Butler, his step father. Noah quickly got up from his bed to open the door. It creaked when Noah pulled it open. A man in his 30''s stood tall in front of his room, he squated so that he could match Noah''s height. Much to Noah''s demise. He really doesn''t like it when people do it to him. "I''ll get this door fixed later", he said as he ruffled the boy''s black hair. Noah simply stared at him, not knowing what to say. The tanned man got up on his feet again and entered the room. He walked around for a while and stared into an empty space at the corner beside Noah''s bed. He then turned around to look at Noah. "I heard you can play the piano?", he asked with a smile. "Yes, I can", Noah answered nervously. Not only the piano, Noah can play the violin and the harp too. Since his father was a great yet humble music teacher, he was taught to play musical instruments ever since he turned 3. "Should I get you a piano then?", Butler asked while touching his chin as if he was making a decision. Before Noah could open his mouth to answer, Butler suddenly put his hands on his hips. "No, I will buy you a piano" Noah simply nodded at his step father''s decision. Who lets a kid decide anyway? "Oh that''s right!", Butler suddenly exclaimed. "I was sent to bring you downstairs so that you could meet your new siblings!" Even though Butler had a stern face, he was a very cheerful person. Noah hoped that his siblings would not be bothersome to live with. Without much time to actually react , Butler took hold of Noah''s hand and led him downstairs where he could hear cheerful laughters .

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 2 - Connect After a long day of family introductions, Noah was finally permitted to go back to his room. His body felt a little bit sore after a long day in the airplane and a party. The jetlag surely doesn''t help either. He took of his neck ribbon and his coat. He hanged them beside his bed and proceeded to take off his socks and shoes. He neatly placed them on the crimson coloured shelf and glanced at the clock on the wall. It flashed [11:27] ''It''s way past my bedtime now, mother will be angry if she knew '' His mother back at the ranch was very strict. She always made sure Noah was asleep by 9 and would scold if him if he wasn''t. His father on the other hand was very gentle and kind. He worked day and night to support his family. One time back in the days where they were extremely in need of money, his father took 4 jobs at once and he would come home every day looking tired. His mother had even begged him to stop overworking himself, and promised that she would also get a job to support the family. Either way, everything went well and Noah still lived a happy and peaceful life. He thanked his parents while he reminisced about the past. Noah took a warm shower, the shower was as big as his old room and the toilet was separated from the shower. Back at his old ranch, he and his parents shared the same bathroom but was never discontent with it. he felt that it actually brought that closer as a family. It''s different here now, everyone has their own room, their own private space, it was to be expected. After he finished showering, Noah brushed his teeth and changed into his pajamas. He then walked towards his bag and pulled out a book about Zebras. He read for about 6 minutes when his eyes could no more fight the sleepiness. *** Noah woke up to the sound of chirping birds and water splashing from the fountain. It was Sunday morning, the day in which every person who has work or school tommorrow cry on. Not Noah though, he was excited to finally go to school after a long week of staying in the hospital. Noah stared up on the ceiling and was deep in thought. He was reciting the facts about zebras he had read the night before. "Zebras are part of the equidae family along with horses and donkeys... " "Zebras have excellent eyesight and hearing ..." "...The ears of a zebra show its mood " "...There are a number of different theories which attempt to explain zebra¡¯s unique stripes with most relating to camouf-" Before Noah could finish his next word, someone knocked on the door. It had an irregular rhythm of knocks causing Noah to be a bit hesistant to open the door. "Who''s there?" A bit impolite, but if it was ''that'' person Noah couldn''t cared less. Suddenly, the door flung open and revealed a boy who was running towards him with his arms opened. "NOOOOAH!!" Noah was now completely awake. A boy with strawberry blonde hair and green eyes, having both his mother''s and father''s traits, was now hugging Noah intensely. As a result, both of them fell down on the floor. "Duke get of me" Noah rubbed his temple while he looked directly at his stepbrother. Noah met Duke and the rest of his new family members last night during their family introduction party. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.Duke Butler is 12 years old like he. Duke gave the impression of a wild, baby monkey, so that''s how Noah sees him as. Duke, on the other hand, was friendly to everyone and before they knew it, they were already friends. Duke grinned widely as he got up from the floor and looked straight into Noah''s eyes. "So did you sleep well?" Duke asked excitedly. "I had my rest" Duke smiled broadly, "Wanna play a game with me?" Noah titlted his head, "What kind of game?" "Royal Road!" "What''s that?" "You don''t know Royal Road?!" Confused, Noah again asked. "What kind of game is it?" Duke facepalmed himself as if he just met the most pathetic person in the world. "Everyone here plays Royal Road! Didn''t you know?" "I didn''t know..." "Fine then I''ll show you! Follow me!" Duke grabbed hold of Noah''s hand and dragged him upstairs. Duke was pratically stomping down the hallway and he could hear his mother scolding him from downstairs. "DUKE! DON''T BE TROUBLE NOW!" *** "Here it is!" Panting, Noah looked up and saw several capsules that could fit a grown adult inside. The room was as huge as his old house but nothing surprises him anymore seeing how his mobile phone was bought from the most expensive brand. He knew he had to get used to his new lifestyle. The capsules were all neatly placed beside each other. There were names written above the capsules. He quickly recognized the names, they were his parents'' names, Margarette and Butler. On the other side of the room was his sister''s, Ann Butler. Noah was unfamilliar with some of the names but he guessed they were probably related somehow. He wiped of sweat from his forehead and continued to observe one of it. It looked very high tech and while Noah tried to figure out how the machine worked, a ''pssshh'' sound came from the third capsule. "Noah! Over here!" Noah stood beside Duke who was setting up the cpasule so that Noah would be able to create a new character. He didn''t really understand why such a high tech machine would be necessary to play a ''game'', he couldn''t help but ask another question. "How do you play this game?" While Noah, who was forced, got into the capsule, Duke explained how the game worked and told him where to start after creating his character. Noah really couldn''t believe his ears hearing how amazing the game sounded and how high Duke''s level in the game is. Noah used to play games all day at home since he was always sick. He knew how hard it was to increase your character''s level once you became a veteran. He wondered how high his parents'' levels could be. And his little sister, Ann. *** After Duke finished his explanation, Noah was finally in the game.
Do you want to connect to Royal Road?

Chapter 3 - Friends Black Beast by Charlotte
Quote:Hi everyone! :grin: As promised, here is the third chapter of Black Beast! Hope you enjoy! [th_113_.gif]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 - Friends * * * Everything was black. Noah could only hear a female voice illuminating the area. Welcome to Royal Road. Do you want to create a new character? ¡°Yes.¡± Select the name of your character. Noah thought about it for a second. He remembered Duke telling him to not use his real name in game because it would be boring. ¡°Noir.¡± Since he liked the colour black. Noir means black in French. Please select a gender. ¡°Male.¡± Royal Road has forty-nine races. You may select your race from the primary twenty-nine. Human, Elf, Beast- ¡°Beast.¡± Noir quickly chose. You may alter your physical appearance. In a split second, Noir could see his own reflection. His hair was longer and messier than how he looked before. His brows were also thicker and darker. He decided not to change anything except the shape of his iris and the thickness of his brows. He made his irises smaller and similar to that of a cat¡¯s. As for his brows, he decrease their thickness by 45%. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.The game automatically grows hair on players who chose Beast as their race. However, since Noir was still considered a child, he did not have any hair growing on his lower body to make the game as realistic as possible. ¡°I am done.¡± Your account has been activated. Your stats and class shall be determined while you are playing Royal Road. That means I can grow stronger when I play the game. Select a city and kingdom you want to start in. There are- Before the voice could finish, Noir had already chosen his kingdom. Noir remembered Duke telling him to start in the Southfield of Magnolia, Rachel so he picked it without much thought. He thought that it would be more advantageous for him if he had company upon starting the game as a new player. Welcome to Royal Road. A bright light surrounded the room that was once dark until Noir was blinded. As it began to slowly fade, he could make a little out of his surroundings. He first heard chatter and birds chirping. When he opened his eyes, he was in a somewhat abandoned yet beautiful church. He was more than amazed. He tried moving his arms, hand, neck and legs. This is amazing¡­ Noir stood in awe as he inspected his surroundings more. There were a few players who stared at him. ¡°It¡¯s a kid!¡± ¡°That¡¯s really rare.¡± ¡°Che! His family must be rich.¡±
