Jorge Rivera-Herrans has no right to go so hard on an already majestic piece ;u; Would recommend to anyone willing to listen.

But holy shit, the underworld album jams so well with TSR, I can't even- 💀

[lilac-den]

Me: *Finally got to continuing with working Chapter 3 Silverking again*

Also me: Realizing points system is probs better than percentage for the romancing and friendshipping in the long run

Someone dissect my brain before it second guesses me. 💀

[lilac-den]

Omg it totally slip my mind that u were a Malaysian. In which case i want to wish u a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri my dear author 🎉🎉

P.S : please have enough rest and take all the time u need my dear, i love ur games and it's stories 😘

No worries! XD Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri too! Though, I don't really celebrate it since I'm not of Islamic faith, I do wish them a big, hearty feast after fasting 🥲 Especially with the horrible heat as of late.

And thank you for the well wishes XD I did take some rest - but I'm also giddy from some ideas popping in. Not sure if they'll be used, but it feels refreshing to let it all out.

A little update!

Honestly, I've been hitting a slump with Silverking, mainly because this section I'm left on with Silverking is leaving me with the sense of 'repetition'? But this is mainly cuz of needing to branch it the scene. Thinking of letting it settle till I can muster the proper mindset to write it. (The weather in Malaysia lately had not been helping either - hot as fuck that even the rain is just hot wind with water).

Instead, TSR has been occupying my mind and Chapter 2 is giving me a lot to think about. 💀It's giving me an addictive euphoria, ngl.

Here's a sneak peek for chapter 2 below the 'Keep Reading'! :D

I managed to finish the intro flashback of the chapter, so you'll be able to see a bit more of MC's life back in the previous world! With that section done, it's time for MC to wake up... 👀 Kekekekekekeke...

[lilac-den]

I’m so interested in your second IF but I know it’s gonna make me cry like a baby. It’s just the fact that mc remembers them all so clearly but they have no idea who mc is that hits me the hardest

Idk if I'll be able to make someone cry with what I write - but I can't wait to see how people will react to the next chapter... 👀🍵🍵🍵

[lilac-den]

YOU!! I HATH FOUND YOU!! YOUR SECOND IF MADE ME CRY AND THEN I LOST YOU FOR A WHILE AND NOW I HAVE FOUND YOH AND I AM PREPARED TO CRY AGAIN!

ndjksandas XD Thank you??? And I'm sorry???? 🤣 I legit didn't expect this - but I'm happy to hear you found my IF ;u; I know the feeling of desperately searching for that one that you recall everything but the name XD (the amount of euphoria from finding the stuff I'm looking for is insane 💀)

[lilac-den]

Ally, I can't— I need to tell you lol, while I was translating some of the sentences from your Maverick's snippet, it translates his name in Chinese to: 马华力

...

...

...

IM SORRY I CANT😂😭😅 THIS IS REALLY TOO MUCH FUN FOR ME AND I NEED TO SHARE IT YOU ASAP🤣🤣🤣

Say, could you put a snippet tag underneath the snippets so it helps to find easily? 333

dnjksansdjka XD First off: Thank you for taking the time to read my snippet to the point of translating ;u; Second: WHAT IN THE WORLD? XD LOL Now I can picture Maverick visiting one of the eastern countries and some people just end up calling him 马 (which means horse in Chinese, for those who don't know!) to shorten it XD

And my bad :x I forgot to add the tag on Maverick's. But the other snippets, I've been trying ;u; made one too many posts to keep up 😭 doesn't help that tumblr's search bar is pretty weak and the website has been lagging hard on me, even after I wipe the cookies and stuff.

[lilac-den]

can we have a little ✨spíce✨ with maverick doting mc while they're placed on his knees? and he just can't help but tease them since mc is all shy and gentle? (I reckon I'll miss all TSR ROs, but nah, I'm all weak for cool guy🤣🤣🤣

A little snippet of Maverick x Shy!MC

I can't stop my heart from beating so much.

It started yesterday, when Sylphina and I decided to visit the Whisht estate after receiving an invitation. It started raining quite late in the evening, so Sylphina and I ended up sleeping over for the night. After waking up and having breakfast, one of the servants quietly asked me if I could see their master, Maverick, for 'something of utmost importance'.

I had expected Maverick wanting to discuss about the Princess. Or Sylphina. Or even advise me about my etiquette training that I had been doing so slowly on.

But none of what I imagine came as I feel my cheeks heat up at the hand that rests on my lower back.

"Are you alright, Wanderer?"

The question was asked in such a casual tone, it almost baffles me on how this stone-faced prick had the gall to ask me such.

How? How can I be alright when I'm sitting on your lap, you dummy?!

"I'm...fine." I barely muster out the second word, hoping I didn't sound too breathy. The hum that escapes Maverick sends a tremor along my body. That tremor grows even more after Maverick grips the hand on my lower back onto one of my hips, pulling me close to his body.

I bit my lower lip and feel fire lick within my belly. Fuck.

"Do let me know if you feel too much discomfort," he says, his quill waving about in movement of his handwriting.

I barely give a nod, my toes curling and uncurling in an attempt to settle down the glee within me for being this close to him. To feel him hold me.

I mentally smack myself. Stop it. He's not holding me. This is...just...

What was it that Maverick needed me for?

When the servant told me Maverick needed me for something important, I rushed my way over here without running (harder than it looked but the servants either didn't notice or ignored it). I only got the question "What's the matter?" out of my mouth before Maverick gestures me to come closer.

And before I knew it, here I am - sitting on Maverick's lap very intimately.

I glance over to his face and take note of the features. Glacial blue eyes focus on his work, white bangs barely reaching above his eyes. His lips are a line, serious and straight. Even his glasses are perfectly perched on the bridge of his nose, settled and fitting to his diligent appearance.

Then I see his eyes widen and they turn to me. It took me a hot second for me to realize my hand is on one of his cheeks, something I retract quickly as if I touched fire itself.

"S-Sorry!" I swallow, the touch of his skin still embedded against my fingers. "You just...you..." The attempt to bring up a reason dies on my tongue.

But Maverick, with a curious gleam in his eyes that I'm far too familiar with, tells me, "you are welcome to reciprocate."

A skip occurs inside me. "What?"

Maverick puts his quill down and leans back against his chair, providing me more room. "You are welcome to touch me."

I was so ready to laugh it off, to take this as him making a joke. But two factors stop me.

One: Maverick doesn't joke easily. Sure, he has his quips and jabs with the occasional sass, but he wouldn't joke about intimacy, consent or anything of that order.

And two...I have fought too long to not tell when there's an opening. And right now, sitting on his lap, Maverick has his guard down almost entirely. A part of me begins to itch and after so many years, I give in.

"Please excuse me."

My words barely come out in a whisper to my ears, but Maverick nods with understanding. I reach up for one of his cheeks, hesitating when my fingertips are just centimetres away. My heartbeats are loud and pumping with vigor, forcing me to hear and feel just how nervous I am.

I touch his porcelain skin. Then I cup his cheek.

His face is warm under my touch. I watch him close his eyes and sigh, something in the mix of relief and ease. I move my other hand to cup his other cheek, examining him up close.

His eyes, while shut, display a bit of dark circles underneath as signs of having less sleep than one should. His snow white hair shines under the soft sunlight behind him through the window. His lips are parted, full and a soft pink shade.

I brush my thumb gently along his cheek. Reacting, he leans into the palm of my hand and relishes in my touch. Something lodges in my throat in that moment.

When was it?

When was the last time I saw Maverick like this?

He opens his eyes and my eyes sting.

They're vibrant and blue, sparked with intelligence and watching me with its gaze.

Something I prayed so hard for, the last time I saw those beautiful eyes close. When I only had them in my dreams and hallucinations in my previous life since the incident.

"Wanderer?"

And in that word, cold water splashes onto my trance.

I let him go and scramble to leave his lap. "I'm sorry, my lord. I..." I brush down my clothes and perform a bow/curtsy "Sylphina is calling."

Maverick frowns and moves to stand. "But Wanderer-"

It was a poor excuse. Even just hearing Maverick's 'but' is enough of an indication that he doesn't believe my lie. But I have to get out of here and build a bit of distance before I do something foolish.

So I run. I run out of the office, down the hall and let my blood pump with adrenaline.

But my heart continues to rattle and beat against my chest, even as tears fill my eyes.

They fall the moment I allow myself to imagine, just a little bit, that his eyes called my name with the familiarity of the past.

Something that is no longer there.

Hey, I've been wondering something regarding OLI from Silverking. Creating an AI like OLI is so far impossible in real life, which I assume the same applies to the Silverking universe. With that said I can only assume that the MC would be the greatest genius of computer science in history. So how will everybody (both ROs and non-ROs) react to the realization that the MC created the first sentient AI ever?

Funny enough, Oli wasn't 'made' by MC. He was this old robot toy that was thrown away by an adult who didn't want an old relic. Oli was, by then, 'sentient'. He just didn't have a way to talk or, more.specifically, to express.

So while he was cursing and screaming at the top of his metaphorical lungs, MC - who was a child - overheard and went over to the bin he was thrown into. Oli made a short comment, only for MC to reply something akin to 'that's not very nice', which shock Oli enough to ask if MC could hear him.

MC, excited to have a new friend, decided to bring him home where another lifeform was able to communicate with him: MC's dad...who scared the shit out of him at first meet (Lucifer was probably the only older male that Oli wasn't attracted to). In the Good!Dad path, Lucifer would have help MC with building a body for Oli. In the Bad!Dad path, MC would be guided by Oli on what he wants his body to be like.

It took a few years but seeing how much MC put effort in building him, it softened him and they bonded. How Oli came to have an ego, I like to think that it's from being loved by his previous owner - the grandfather of the one who threw him away, perhaps. Then he develops a personality and it was brought out even more thanks to the combination of MC's two abilities until he's a 'living being'. He has his own pronouns, thoughts, opinions and preferences.

He won't admit it easily, but meeting MC was the brightest moment of his life.

can i know how many stats to focus on in TSR? please and thanks if you answer

Hrm...I'd recommend perhaps 2 stats? That much is all I can say.

Thank you for the ask!

[lilac-den]

Will mc have suicidal thoughts (if we choose such an option) and if so how would the ROs react.

Honestly, given what I have written so far on chapter 2, there might be a choice of having MC be aware of their suicidal thoughts or reckless self-destruction (BUT IT'S STILL UNCONFIRMED).

But the ROs would react to MC's...severe state of mind. :') Don't you just love hurt/comfort tags?

[lilac-den]

Probably a stupid question, but regarding the TSR ROs dom/sub tendencies, is there gonna be any option to avoid that sort of thing entirely? Asking since I'm interested in Enid but if that's fully locked in I couldn't ever be with her (blah blah trauma so I can't bear being in that sort of relationship)

I'm honestly not sure on how I'll write the NSFW scenes yet, I'll be perfectly honest. So, unfortunately, I can't confidently answer with complete certainty.

But if there's even a slight chance of triggering any form of trauma, I advise you to not proceed as TSR is not for the light-hearted. I rather not put anyone under such pressure or harm if there's any way to avoid it.

Thank you for the ask!

[lilac-den]

Hey, first of all, your works are pretty good, I'm waiting patiently to see more. There's been an ask a while ago about Silverking, concerning how the ROs would react to a bratty/bold MC who was submissive, that made me wander how would the ROs react to the opposite, an MC who is quiet/shy but becomes dominant.

Cheers.

I could've sworn I saw an ask of this 💀But for some reason, it disappeared. But thank you for this ask!

To give the answer(s):

Zeus: They wouldn't be surprised - mainly because they know each person have their own secrets and this is just one of MC's own. But they do feel appreciative that MC trusts them enough to display such a side.

Hermes: They love to challenge authority with every chance they get. The bedroom would be no different, so expect Hermes to be a bit (or a lot if MC is into it) of a brat.

But they would definitely be surprised by the different demeanour. It's not something they expect out of them and, in silent honesty, it's pretty hot.

Dionysus: Hot Hot Hot Hot. In short: Dionysus is 1000% onboard of this and they'll be really happy if they manage to please MC too.

Ares: They'll see this as an interesting challenge - I can imagine Ares would let them take charge from time to time, just to spice up the bedroom and make things fair.

Dolos: They'll be putty in MC's hands but also run their mouth with lewd fantasies like "Be honest, tweety bird - did you hide this part of you because you won't be able to control yourself if you show even a little? That's so cute! 💚"

They'll definitely get cheekier, see what sort of things gets MC's dom side ticking.

Thank you for the Birthday's wishes. I hope for your days to flourish everyday with a piece of happiness around the world within you❤️🫂🎉💐🤗

These days, it's hard to say - but there's silver lining in some so far :D I hope your birthday's been a great one! 👀

[lilac-den]

Hi, it's my 21st birthday today. Can I get a 'Happy Birthday'? Than you!

Happy Birthday, anon! :D

[lilac-den]

The fact that TSR MC remind me of Violet Evergarden for no reasons lol

Jesus, you're really hoping to stake a knife on MC's life, aren't ya? ;u;
