🗞️ The LitRPG Bulletin No. 2 - Rise of the Living Forge
“The LitRPG Bulletin” is a newsletter where every Monday and Thursday, I highlight 5 quotes from LitRPG books I’ve been reading.
=====
Welcome back! Your favorite host is back with more quotes~
My first release came out last week on Mage Tank!
This time around, we’re got Rise of the Living Forge, a blacksmith LitRPG by Actus, who is also writing “Return of the Runebound Professor,” one of the top novels on Royal Road. Whew, the guy sure is prolific.
Even though Rise of the Living Forge came out only three weeks ago, there’s already 51 chapters! Enough for a whole book and then some. Did I mention that Actus writes fast? (He’s fast)
Anyways, enjoy!
Fiction Stats:
51 chapters
12-16 chapters per week (Just… wow)

#1 🗞️
Chapter 5: Gifts
“The main people that controlled this area were the Brothers Six. I guess they’re the Brothers One-and-a-half now, though.”
“One and a half?”
“One fled and you crushed the other one’s wrist back in the alley before smacking his brains in.”
#2 🗞️
Chapter 6: Deals
“Well, the feathers were really scratchy on the first one,” Lillia said, ticking a finger off on her hand. “I removed them on the second bird, but its beak was kind of sharp. Also, I burnt that one black. Burnt the third one too. This one turned out great, though!”
“So it did. What was the secret?”
“I killed it before putting it in the oven.”
#3 🗞️
Chapter 9: Opportunity
“How many enemies do you have that are actively looking for you?”
Reya raised a hand, ticking fingers off on it. She quickly ran out of fingers and swapped to the other hand. Finding that one also lacking, she started pulling a shoe off. The other shoe soon followed after it, and Reya finally raised her gaze back to Arwin’s, biting her lip.
“Arwin?”
“Yes?”
“Don’t get mad, but I lost count.”

Chapter 31: Finish what you started
“I’m still here,” Arwin snarled, pointing his sword up at the monster’s head and locking eyes with it. “Didn’t anyone ever tell you to finish what you started?”
#5 🗞️
Chapter 47: Can't hurt
After a minute, she shook her head and turned back to the tentacle on the counter. It looked remarkably unappetizing. Grimacing, Lillia rolled her sleeves back. She had work to do, and she’d be damned if she’d done all the work lugging the stupid thing this far if it didn’t taste good.
I’m going to eat you, and I’m going to like it. That isn’t a threat. It’s a promise.
Oh, who am I kidding. It’s also a threat.
Bonus 🗞️
Chapter 5: Gifts
Reya’s hand snapped up to her head in a salute. “Yes, sir!”
“Stop calling me sir,” Arwin grumbled. “I’m twenty-five.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Commander?”
“Just call me Arwin,” Arwin said, massaging his forehead.
