CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
Maybe home is not always the safest place to be
~
Meanwhile in the village Twig had called home yesterday
There was no shortage of people with something to say
But at the centre of the drama was a single knight
Screaming like a monster, breaking everything in sight
~ Name: Delilah ~

Delilah, I’m the goddess of the sword, I’m no priestess
I’ll have no words for you if you just make this a mess
Pull yourself together or you’ll only make things worse
There may still be answers out there for your offspring’s curse
“How could you just let him go, you useless piece of trash?!
Let me go or I’ll reduce this entire place to ash!”
Delilah swung her sword at Log out in the village square
Many looked in horror but she didn’t seem to care

Sorry man, you’re on your own with this one, do your best
Seems like your wife has something to get off of her chest
Do what you have done at least a thousand times before
Save the village from chaos, go home, and close the door
“Delilah, you know just as well as I, we can’t just go
We have to trust the System has the answers we don’t know
If you draw attention from the System to our town
You might not need to wait long before it all burns down”
“Let it burn!” Delilah shouted as she swung her blade
Destroying a large fountain that the town artist had made
“How can you be called a father, look at what we’ve done!

Out of fear for some strange god we threw away our son”
She swung her sword again but this time it was dull and slow
Log then caught her swordhand using half his strength or so
He took her sword and threw it down then tried to calm her down
But that was not enough to quell the panic in the town
After twig had left the morning of the day before
She’d been crying desperately at home upon the floor
She cried herself to sleep but when she woke up the next day
Something snapped in her and the whole town had hell to pay
She screamed and cursed at everyone and everything thing she saw
Cursing every god she new and every System law
Luckily, the System wasn’t easy to offend
But she was content to scream at every neighbour and friend
Sky’s mother and father, Hawk and Oak were standing near
Watching sadly as their friend gave in to rage and fear
Log just held her tightly and looked over at the pair
Alarmed by the demeanor of the couple standing there
“What is it you want with us, we’re in no mood for talk
Leave us to our business here, go on and take a walk”
Delilah screamed and wept into her husband’s sturdy chest
Cursing everyone who said that it was for the best
Hawk stepped forward with a piece of paper in her hand
“When your wife recovers, give her this, she’ll understand
We’re going ahead, but you’ll be called in time as well”
He took the letter and they left with no more news to tell
At least a dozen people nearby heard what they had said
And wondered why they hadn’t just announced it there instead
And while gossip of the System circulated still

Few claimed to have knowledge of the might System’s will
“Could it be that he was cursed by something evil here?”
“Maybe it was something he did wrong some time last year”
“Could it be, the System saw Twig committing some crime?”
“I did see him roaming in the forest all the time”
Log had done his best to keep his wife restrained but failed
Luckily she had no sword, or they’d have been impaled
Instead the villagers whose levels certainly weren’t low
All regretted testing how far Twig’s mother would go
Achievement: Swordless Swordsmanship
Not that I approve of what you’re doing here right now
But the way you’re fighting is still impressive somehow
Just don’t kill your neighbours, they could never understand
No one here can no what fate the System may have planned
The sun was high before Delilah's rage began to wane
But half the village was already in a lot of pain
The gossip ceased as the town healer healed their injuries
Relieved to see Delilah had made no more enemies
She walked back down the road, the last place she had seen her son
Seeing him away as his adventure had begun
Fearing that he may already have been killed or worse
She swore in her heart she would one day avenge her son’s curse

Realm Of Assola
The story follows Aron, a young beggar. Having lived in a ruined village for as long as he knew of himself and with the lack of food combined with harsh conditions, he isn't happy with his current life. With the war on the horizon, their village being close to the border between kingdoms. And an increased number of people, soldiers going through the village. Things are bound to change. Realm Of Assola is a big world, that will be revealed as the young beggar Aron gets on his feet, and expands his horizons. With the kingdom that allows slavery, and the increasing amount of casualties. The demand for them increased. But will that turn out to be a good thing? There will be classes, spells, magic, and more. About classes, they will be somewhat close to LitRPG but the focus won't be on them. They will be used as means, not the focus. You could say that it has a slow start, but it is more that Arons progress will be somewhat slow. And it takes him some time to adapt and find a way to improve. Daily updates for the first fifteen or so chapters. At that point, I will most likely have to reduce it. To something more manageable. So I decided on a schedule, every day at 18:00 CET new chapter should be up.

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
