《The American Dream: An Alternate, Time-Travel Timeline》Chapter 133: The Death of a King
Advertisement
London, Great Britain
December 1st, 1810
"Where is Amelia? Where is she?"
"Your Majesty, she is fine and well."
"Then I demand to see her!"
The royal attendant swallowed nervously, "I'm afraid she is still... secluded. But rest assured, Your Majesty, you will see her when the time comes."
King George III, the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, babbled as if he did not hear his attendant's voice, "Why must this happen? What happened?"
Nearby, the Prince of Wales, the heir to the throne, watched his father's dementia flare up with a grimace, "Will he get better?"
"I do not know, Your Royal Highness," The attendant replied quietly, "But his... actions have been worsening recently. One of the attendants let it slip that Princess Amelia has passed. Since then, His Majesty has been acting more and more irrationally."
"Where is that damned Minister North? I will have his head for losing to... that Hun in Boston! Kill Burygone! Kill Howe!"
"Leave us alone, for a few minutes," The Prince Regent commanded.
Once he and the king were alone, the younger George sat by his father’s bedside and tried to calm him down, “Father...”
“I have lost my realm. I have lost my child. I have lost everything!” The insane king shouted, “What will my father think of me? I must take them back! All of them!”
“I will try.”
King George turned his head to his son and let out a manically laugh, “Oh you fool! Do you not realize, it is a threat. It will rip the remainders of our realm. They will cast us out and dethrone us! Those damn Yankees! Oh yes, they smile and jest but they are plotting against us!”

The Prince Regent knew that ever since the Despard Plot rocked Britain, the king had been both in pain and insane. And after his sister passed, his father had “jumped off a cliff,” so to speak. He had only awakened from his coma three months ago, but the king’s condition had only worsened since then. The prince was aware that his father did not have much time left and that soon, he would be crowned king.
It was all because of the damn Yankees. It was because of them that his father had turned into a blubbering, insane man. And the Irish too. Once he was king, they would pay. It would take years, if not decades. But once the preparations were made, both would pay.
“Rockingham! Where is Rockingham?”
“He’s dead, father.”
The British monarch turned and stared at his son’s face, “Hello father! It seems you are looking much younger. Do not worry, you will rule for a hundred more years!”
With a surprised look, the King suddenly collapsed onto his bed and gasped, “It can not be!”
“Father?” The Prince of Wales rushed to his father’s side and grasped his hands, “Father, are you alright?”
As if the haze cleared just for a single moment, King George III looked deeply into his issue’s eyes and let out a breath, “Do not let them win. I was a fool to be deceived.”
And King George III, the man who had lost the entirety of North America to a group of rebels, drew his last breath and died in the hands of his son.

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw
