Solo Player Arvin Chapter 19

A wise man once said…
"Little knowledge is far more dangerous than no knowledge at all"
.................
Harry Cullen spent his last days as the happiest and the most optimistic person in the world. He was happy as he had just contributed something great to the Cullen family. He had contributed a Fierce bird for god sake. And that was a very big thing to do.
Having a Fierce bird in their ranks would mean that the Cullen family would have a trump card that other noble families would have a very hard time countering. The normal soldiers are certainly no match for the bird. And even if the other family hires HTCs of Rank-B or higher they still have a hard time countering the bird. Also based on the wealth of the Cullen family any HTC would be more happy to work for them than to work with any other noble family. That meant that no matter what they did, the Cullen family would always have an advantage if that bird was hatched.
And it was no surprise that just after two weeks after Harry got the egg, he was assassinated. Little Harry's body was found in his room tortured and tied up to the chair. And just beside the dead body of Harry, a broken egg was found. And that egg had been smashed on the ground with force.
When Harry told his father about the egg, he became elated. His father succumbs to the greed that if he uses his cards the right way, he may be able to become the next head of the family with that egg. Thus he formulated a plan for this. Instead of telling the information about the egg to his family members of the Cullen family, he concealed it.
Harry's father was sure that surely no one would have recognized the egg just by seeing it. Only a genius like his son could something like that off. So, he didn't take any action to either protect his son or egg. He used his logic that him providing him with extra security would raise suspicion. And he may have been right too.

But this was his big mistake. Because of his mistake, assassins came knocking at Harry's door and were easily able to make their way to Harry. Thus they killed him but not before torturing him.
But the best part was that…
When the investigators of the family tried to find the origins of the egg, they made a shocking discovery. The investigator of the family had to investigate the egg because it could have given them some clues about why someone wants to kill Harry. Plus the smashed egg just beside a dead body was far more suspicious.
As they investigated the egg, some investigators recognized the shell of the egg instantly. After all, they were all Rank-A or Rank-S members of the Cullen family. They have a fair amount of knowledge of 1st-floor beasts and their lifestyle. When they saw the scene of the crime and details they immediately recognized what would happen. But it was too easy, they investigated further to further increase the plausibility of their finding.
And the conclusion that they got on the investigation was very tragic. They concluded their report of Harry's murder…
"Harry Cullen went to Kalgan forests a few weeks ago. He found a red egg there which he concluded to be the egg of the Fierce bird. So he brought the egg back with him.
Interrogating the mercenaries that were escorting Harry that day confirmed the statement that he indeed found an egg in the forest. On further investigation, it was found that an egg was found from the stomach of a Rank-C wolf stomach.
From the evidence gathered it could be inferred that enemies of the family might have found out about this venture and kill the egg and the owner of the egg before the egg matured.
Note- On investigation, it found out that the egg was of a Rank-D hymen lizard."

That report blew the mind of Harry's father. He had been so stupid that he thought that Harry would have found the egg of a Fierce bird. But he never really checked it out himself. If he would have done that he would have also found out that the particular egg was not a Fierce bird's egg.
Although Fierce egg and Hymen lizards are identical they have a big difference. That is of the size. The egg that Harry found was the size of a tennis ball. Harry assumed that it was a Fierce egg because it had all of its properties and everything. After all, he had read all about this in a book.
But he forgets to use logic. He may be a genius of the Cullen family. But he was fool to believe that a creature who grows up to be the size of a 15 feet giant would have an egg that is the size of a tennis ball….
.......................
Nobody can turn back time and make amends for their mistakes. Nobody can. It is said that even gods can't even change the flow of time. So how could some measly nobles of the lowest floor of Yggdrasil can?
As soon as the assassins sent to take care of the egg, found out that the egg didn't belong to Fierce bird, they smashed the egg in frustration. They also killed the little Harry. They killed Harry for nothing at all. Plus Harry being the genius of the family, got themselves in some crappy situation.
Cullen's family was enraged by their actions. They soon investigated o find who was responsible for this assassination. They got some leads, and narrowed it down to one noble family. The Cross family. They were the ones who put a hit out for Harry. As soon as this information was confirmed, the Cullen family declared war on them.
The Cross family may not be as wealthy as the Cullens, but they were one of the oldest noble houses. So they had connections of their own. They gathered their allies' noble families to aid them in the war.
Seeing this Cullen family also called out to their allies. Soon within two months, all the noble families of the first floor either allied with the Cullens or with the Cross family. So that means a full-scale wall will start very soon. Only time will tell you would become victorious.
Families who allied with the Cullens did not have any reason to call all-out war. But seeing the opportunity to get new lands and resources, they succumbed to greed and thus they entered the war.
It was a war based on greed and petty revenge. But this war will be written down in history because in this chaotic war, neither Cullens nor Cross will be victorious…

The Aesir took her peace, they took her parents, and then they took her wife. Three years after her wife’s murder, she’s found a new life light years away from Earth. A happy one, most days, with a best friend and captain who understands her, and a shared mission to undo some of the damage the Aesir have done to the Universe and offer relief to anyone who needs it. But the past has a way of rising again. A surprise rescue mission brings Brenn face to face with her wife; delirious, ill, and scarred from the bullets Brenn thought had killed her, but very much alive with a newborn at her breast. A newborn whose very existence could mean intergalactic war. Now Brenn must balance her wife’s delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn’s wife and child. All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn’s wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It’s a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.

Thorns of Jade [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG Adventure]
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Solo Leveling meets Chainsaw Man in this fun new LitRPG Series To become the king of Kissen, Noah Hearts trains to become the strongest swordsman in the world. The only problem — he can’t use Aura at all! Everything changes when he’s left for dead in a forest on the Kissen Fields… In a world where horrific creatures known as “demons” terrorize mankind, those who wield the mysterious force known as “aura” are the only ones who can fight them. These fighters call themselves the “Wolves of Haven”, and strive to create a world where demons no longer roam their lands! Though Noah Hearts is an exceptional swordfighter for a young man, his total inability to use aura means he could never hope to defeat the demons! Despite this major setback, he still hopes to become the king of Kissen and create a better world for those in his country! As he walks home from his daily training, his world is shifted upside down when he sees a few familiar faces in his home… This is the first draft of what I want to be a 9 volume series. I'll be editing, rewriting, and releasing the volumes on Amazon once they're finished. I'll admit, I'm finishing chapters in sprints because I want to participate in the writathon (Apr. 2022) so I apologize if there are some issues with the prose. Point them out to me and I'll fix them! Anyway, I have no backlog, but I plan on uploading chapters as I finish them. I don't want to spend weeks re-editing and never publishing like I used to, so I'm just gonna post when it's done. Like I said, this story is my take on a mix between solo leveling and chainsaw man. Specifically, the MC is the only one that can consciously level up (sort of), and the plot is fast paced and emotional just like chainsaw man. There are plenty of other inspirations, like HxH, Jojo, JJK, Cradle, and even FF6, but the first two are the biggest. Basically, if you don't like Shounen stuff, this probably isn't the story for you. Regardless, I hope you all like the story!

Barry Buckman and the Interdimensional Beastiary
In the beginning of 2021 I did something possibly stupid, I hired a ghostwriting company to write one of the many ideas going on in my head since I was busy with my job. Unfortunately... They were not the greatest, after the first writer assigned to me left I was stuck with... We'll just call her 'Karen'. Karen didn't want to listen to my feedback on chapters, and turned what was supposed to be a long story about a young guy surviving on an island of supernatural and crazy stuff, and becoming stronger from it, was turned into a not so great romance novel.I plan on releasing another one, probably after this that will be Barry Buckman Redux, which will be me writing it out the way I originally envisioned it.
