The Ancients World Chapter 129

{Mark any errors. Thanks everyone.}
I reequip my armor now that I'm completely dry. I look in the direction that Hailey ran off to and start walking the same way as well. After walking a couple minutes I find her full dressed leaning against a tree. I walk up beside her and lean against it and stare off into the direction she is. Nothing but more trees and mountains were she is looking. "You don't have to be embarrassed Hailey. I get that your little brother seeing that is weird, but its not like its going to affect anything in our lives. In the end they are just hunks of fat right." I try and make sure she knows that everything is cool, but after the hunks of fat comment she gets up and looks at me with frustration. She looks ready to start talking or yelling again, but instead she takes a breath to calm herself down. I don't know what she is about to say, but any guesses I have on woman its not going to make much sense to me. Truly wonderful creations, but very confusing sometimes.
She gently whacks my arm so she doesn't hurt herself this time. "Never call a woman's breasts hunks of fat Cera. That's even ruder then seeing them on accident." I just sigh and take this as a lesson learned. I should know more about woman with an older sister and mother that require a certain way of interaction with them. However, I've come to learn that its true what they say. Every woman is different, and with different subtilties you have to learn. "I don't like that you saw such a private part of me, but what's done is done. So the only question I have left is when are we heading out." She wants to get a move on as well. It sucks that I'm not a craftsman or blacksmith. If I was I could make us water skins to carry water with us. Its a big problem, this stream doesn't head in the same direction as the marker. Its curvy and heads of into another direction. For all I know this is going to be the last time we come across fresh water.
Its just going to be something we'll deal with when the time comes. We still have many hours left of day light and I want to get a move on. "We can leave now. The stream goes off into another direction. Hopefully we run into something that is on the way, but I doubt we'll get this lucky again. I wont be flying a full speed since you handled that a lot today, we will just cruise and make progress. If you have any ideas on how to take water with us I'm all ears, since neither of us can craft anything we cant make containers or water skins for water." She nods her head as she listens. If she has an idea on how to take water with us that is great, but I don't see a possible way. Every option requires something neither of us have. After a few minutes of watching her ponder ideas she shakes her head no. Looks like neither of us have any ideas on how to take water with us. I hope we get lucky again and find water while we are flying. Preferably closer to the marker.

I'm almost certain an ocean separates us from the other continents. Its the language the system has used up to this point that puts this idea together. I kneel down and let Hailey climb onto my back. I burst off the ground and we are already above the clouds. "You live in a dream Cera... I wish I had everything you have right now. Talk about being lucky, you must have a horseshoe up your ass or something to be this lucky. I'm kinda pissed that it doesn't run in the blood. Its like all of our families luck was just given to you instead." She says all this as she holds out her arms enjoying the wind and puffy clouds as we go through them. If she knew the truth then she wouldn't be saying that. I have suffered greatly, and the only reason I'm here in the first place is because of luck. So in a way she is right, but the shit I've been through isn't something even close to lucky. "I hope I get to fly like this one day... Being trapped to the ground is a joke after experiencing something this amazing." I don't know what the future holds for my sister after I leave her, but I do know that when she sets her mind to something it take a lot for her to quit.
She is going to make a man both happy and worried one day. Hopefully she opens her heart to someone and learns to not push them away. She has always been so guarded from bad experiences with guys. Her old future was something I was intent on destroying and I have done just that, so I hope to one day meet the man she loves and shake his hand. "I'm sure you will find a way Hailey, after you get your legendary class battlemind you could use your authority to find out if there is a way. So don't be discourage by my classes features, a class and skills are nothing without people to use them." She stays silent after those words. As Cera and Hailey fly to their destination the other 3 members of the Adamo family are having fun themselves. Particularly Violet, she is fighting a monster with her husband and youngest son. They are trying to level up and reach the higher leveled monster farming areas, they have all leveled up a few times. They are still grinding till they hit level 30.

I'm so glad that my husband and youngest son are with me. It devastated me when my two oldest left, but the pain is slowly fading. Having fun and spending time with my husband has really helped. We have been careful in our grinding for levels, that's what the younger ones call it any way. We only go after monsters that are the same level or weaker then us, and while its not as effective its much safer and the best of doing things. I don't want any harm to come to my family and that means taking things slow and steady. "Okay Marcus! Finish it off with a fireball!" My husband yells the command to Marcus and he obeys. Marcus has been doing an amazing job at listening and helping in any way we allow him. The monster dies in a blaze of fire and we all get good amounts of exp. I walk over to my husband as he takes a seat to catch his breath, him and I take the frontal assault while Marcus helps from behind.
Marcus runs over to us and sits with us. I pick him up and place him in my lap. "You did wonderful sweetie! Your magic is getting better and better! Soon you will be able to handle monsters all by yourself and wont need me..." I'll admit, the thought of Marcus growing up and leaving me isn't something that I like. That time is a long way off though, so I have nothing to worry about right now. I look over to my husband and he is just smiling stupidly at us. He really adores all of us and would do anything to keep us safe. I love him more then he'll ever know. "Honey, do you think we should head back and sell some of the stuff we got today. I heard the market has gotten more food since players are hunting animals now." I watch my husbands eyes light up at the mention of food. We wouldn't be able to provide for ourselves if it wasn't for the items we got from the system after we cleared that dungeon.
The effects of our epic grade swords are a real game changer. I didn't think that there was a huge gap in power between grades, but I was wrong. "I think that's a perfect idea. We can pick up some food and water while we are there. There are things I want to see at the market as well, I heard that a person is selling information on dungeons. I know what you said about us going into dungeons at this level, but please just consider the fact that we have a great opportunity to get stronger faster." I instantly give a disapproving look and just shake my head no. "I'm apart of this decision making process too and I say we are checking out the information. I expect you to respect that." He stands up and walks away before I can even register what just happened. As much as I want to disagree with him, he is right. He is apart of this family to and I need to listen to his opinions too. I've been a control freak for awhile now and I need to let up. I stand up and follow my husband, market here we come.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
