This one is not a chapter, merely a link to the sequel.

To fill out the word count needed to publish a chapter, I will copy here four of my favourite poems. Two of them are written in Hungarian, my native language, one of them is German, and the last one is Latin. In turn you can copy the gems your native language produced in the comment section, if you are so inclined.
My absolute favourite, the best poetry humanity ever produced from the pen of Zrínyi Miklós, or Nikola Zrinski:
AZ IDŐ SZÁRNYON JÁR...
Az idő szárnyon jár,
Soha semmit nem vár,
És foly, mint erős folyás;
Visszá soha sem tér,
Mindent a' földre vér,
Mindeneken hatalmas;
Ő gazdagot, szegént
Öszveront egy szerint,
Nincs néki ellenállás.
Csak egy van, időtűl
S az ő erejétűl
Aki békével marad;
Nem fél kaszájátol,
Nem sebes szárnyátol,
Üdő rajta elolvad:
Az tündöklő hirnév,
Mely dicsősségre rév,
Az mindenkor megmarad.
NEM IROM PENNÁVAL...
Nem irom pennával,
Fekete téntával,
De szablyám élivel,
Ellenség vérivel,
Az én örök hiremet.
BEFED EZ A KÉK ÉG...
Befed ez a kék ég, ha nem fed koporsó,
Órám tisztességes csak légyen utolsó.
Akár farkas, akár emésszen meg holló:
Mindenütt felyül ég, a' föld lészen alsó.
It would be absolutely great if some time in the future I got to write a historical novel about Zrínyi. Zrínyi is just the best. Have some more stoic philosophy from him!
Obsidionis Szigetiane, Pars Quarta 1-5:
1.
Fut, fárad az ember és kap ez világon,
Véli, hogy állandó boldogságot adjon;
Nem hiszi, tövébül szerencse szakadjon
Markában, s kis édesért száz ürmet adjon.
2.
Kit gyakran szerencsétlenség messzi kerül,
Valaha őrá is nagy usurával dül;
Mentül nagyobb hegyen forgó szerencse ül,
Annál nagyobb kárral és sebességgel dül.
3.
Örül az szerencse ember esésében,
Advertisement
Azért ő elveszi, teszi csaknem égben,
Hogy gyönyörködhessék nagyobb esésében,
Mint juhász kűsziklán kűnek görgésében.
4.
Én tinéktek példát messziről nem adok,
Noha mennyi hajam van, annyit adhatok:
Mehmet bassa esetét jól hallottátok,
Ült magassan s bizott, de lá, lehanyatlott.
5.
Boldog, az ki jóban el nem bizza magát,
De kész szüvel várja szerencse forgását;
Mind jón, mind gonoszon álhatatlanságát,
Látjuk szerencsének sokféle játékját.
Let’s read some light-hearted stuff from Goethe now, in remembrance of Publius’ favourite sibling!
Goethe: Erlkönig
Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.
Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht? –
Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
Den Erlenkönig mit Kron' und Schweif? –
Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif.
"Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir;
Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand." –
Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht,
Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht? –
Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind;
In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind. –
"Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön;
Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein." –
Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort? –
Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh' es genau:
Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. –
"Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch' ich Gewalt." –
Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan! –
Dem Vater grauset's; er reitet geschwind,
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit Mühe und Not;
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.
Last, but not least, I bet Publius would love this one from his two hundred years younger namesake.
VERGILI MARONIS AENEIDOS LIBER SEXTVS
Excudent alii spirantia mollius aera
(credo equidem), vivos ducent de marmore vultus,
orabunt causas melius, caelique meatus
describent radio et surgentia sidera dicent:
tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento
(hae tibi erunt artes), pacique imponere morem,
parcere subiectis et debellare superbos.
Well, that should be enough to satisfy the algorithm. It’s fun though, sharing your favourite poetry like that, isn’t it? We should do this again sometime in the future.

Known as the blood-soaked flower of the battlefield, it is said that to see her is to risk madness. To fight her is to die. Some even say she draws her power from the blood of vanquished foes. Listening to the rumors, I can't help but feel that my plan to secure a comfortable administrative post has somehow gone awry.

Shadow Overseer
He never had a name. People had names, not lab rats. The reason for his existence was to further science and die somewhere along the way. "Subject Five" was what they called him. Under the name of science, they tormented him and derived a sick pleasure from his pain. His dark life had a single solace in the form of his brothers and sisters sharing the same fate. Helping them escape cost Five his life, but he was happy knowing he did something for himself. After waking up, he finds himself as the son of a noble in a marvelous world filled with magic. In his second chance at life, he vows to protect himself and his family from anything that threatens to destroy his peaceful life. Follow Five on his path to supremacy. ********** This is a LITRPG novel, with the system playing a crucial, but supporting role. It isn't omnipotent and has definite origins which I'll explain later in the story. Another important aspect is world-building and crafting. I'll go into quite a lot of detail on both of them.
