These assoles have been chasing me for weeks. No matter how much i try to lose them they always find me. I just left the last frontier town and started heading into the unexplored zone. The monsters there are so strong that only hero’s could slay them. There skin is tough as endurium. And claws and teeth is sharp as evolitium. Or so the rumors state(cough cough shitty ore names are shitty).
But i have a secret weapon, since birth my tribe of demi-humans were the most skilled at detecting presences or more accurately detecting mana from living creatures. This alone made us have value targets for slavery. If Only we didn't I this god forsaken hair color.It gives away my identity right away.
Ive had the worst luck my whole life. Since are tribe is nomadic tribe and moves from forest to forest in the north I just had to be the only child left behind. From then on its been mistake from mistake but i still walked forwards for 16 years. And i was doing fine till i met these assholes. In broad daylight they tried to capture me as a slave. I mean in broad daylight! I was buying traveling supplies when they tried to sneak up behind me. What makes it worst is they have a licenses to collect slaves that are not affiliated with any schools or guilds so in other words travelers. They chased my out of the last three towns and the only way im going to loses these guys if i take a big risk. I mean they can't be stupid enough to follow me into “that” forest. I mean no ones came out alive from there its a no go for even the bravest of heroes.
As i enter the tree line i got hit with the feeling of someones watching me then it stopped. It was creepy but i dont have time to dwell on the little things i must lose these guys in the forest.
I turned around to see if they were following and they were complete dicks cant they just leave a girl alone. As a ran deeper and deeper into the forest i had not encountered a single monster which i would count as a stroke of bad luck. But when i detect life with my skill it felt like they were running away and blocking any path i other way i could go other than straight.
They have been chasing me for a hour in this bloody forest are these guys insane. Im almost of of energy and i dont know how long i can keep running like this. Thinking this was the end i approached a small clearing that was on a small hill. Only giving a quick glance around i thought this would be the perfect place to hold a last stand and i ran to the top of the hill and faced were my enemies would come out from.

Once the broke through the thick tree line all 10 of them didnt even try to flank me. Im half wondering if these guys even have a brain. Standing there like a bunch of idiots with the biggest grin on there face thinking they had me cornered. Well you know the saying never corner a animal.
Then i saw something strange, They all suddenly cramped up in fear. Hell im not to sure but im positive one even pissed his pants. I started to panic, Could i have missed something with my detection skills. I looked frantically around me and my eyes landed on the most beautifully sword i have ever seen. The sheath for the sword was black with gold engravings near its mouth. they main body was pure black and i could faintly see magically engravings on sheath. They were so well placed that they could be mistaken for simple design.The handle sticking out of the sheath had black cloth wrapped around it forming diamond shaped patterns on it. And at the end was a similar god cap. The whole sword had a slight curve to it unlike any i have ever seen. If the sheath is this beautifully i wonder what the sword looks like.
The first thought that came to my mind was (what is this reference to) Its a trap!!! But if im going down fighting might as well do it looking cool. So i grabbed the sheath directly below the hande and when i started to lift it out of the stone. Wisdom text popped up in front of me.
Do you wish to bind the sword “unnamed” to you claiming it as yoursYESNO
I dont have time to read this and i just hit the yes button At that moment i felt a surge of energy my strength and stamina were coming back. And although i'm not certain i feel more energized blood stopped pouring out of my wounds.
While i was distracted in thought one of the men rushed me with his sword held high. I panicked i need to draw the sword as fast as i can to defend myself.Once the tip of the sword left the sheath a slash of air came out knocking the approaching enemy back and cutting his sword. It was shocking,How could i do that i dont even have a wind affinity. Then it hit me,It had to be the sword. The only thing that i could think of was that this sword was enchanted with wind magic. And it feels like i got 3 more slashes of that air attack.
Once i focused on the enemy's again they conveniently started to attack after picking up their friend 3 enemies were approaching slowly. 2 with a sword and 1 with a dagger. Im seriously wondering if these guys have a brain there lined up next to each other almost shoulder to shoulder. Dont they learn anything i just used a magic attack that's like a wave you would think it would be smart to split up a little.

I decide to deal with them before they gained a brain. i slashed down at a angle with all my might and another air attack came of the blade this time it sent them flying and upon hitting the ground knocked them out.Before the others had any time to act i wildly swung my sword to fire of the last the air slashes and like with the other three sent them flying and knocking them out.
After about 15 minutes of tying people to a tree i can guess that the monsters dont come in the clearing seeing as how there aren't even any bugs. So i decide to take the risk and sleep on top of the hill. I hadn't had a good days sleep in weeks and i deserve one with the sword still in my hand i went to sleep.
I woke up to what i assume would be the next morning and stretched totally forgetting why im here and theirs a sword in my hand i panic and tossed it but the moment it hit the ground it reappeared in my hand. I was shocked in all my knowledge ive never heard of a sword that did that. So i decided to inspecting it with the wisdom boxes proved by are goddess of wisdom. I was shocked at what i saw

-clairvoyance allows owner to expand mana perception and can show directions at random thru mana.The type of sword is Called a Katana. It focus on slashes. The method to make this type of sword was lost ages ago and is now a relic of the past.this sword was forged to be the perfect sword.Its beauty and simplicity of the blade give a almost divine feel. The craftsmen of this sword died a long time ago but for some strange reason he didn't want the swords owner to be in the hands of a man. That craftsman remains unknown, and didn't even give a proper name to it wanting the owner to name the sword.
I Wanted to also check the sheath because i felt something special about it as well but you can only use the wisdom boxes once a day so ill have to wait till later to check it out, But this sword is to powerfully seriously. If it wouldn't teleport to my hand constantly i would have left it. When looking over the stat’s on the sword there were a lot of them blanked out does that mean i have to discovery there affects myself. I still didn't see that one attack i did with the wind so the only logical explanation was that is was on the sheath.
Seriously who enchants their weapon so much that they even put it on the sheath. Shesh what a was. Well it wouldn't be smart for me to stay here so i start getting ready to leave.But first i need to find a way to activate the swords ability before i leave. i thought for a moment maybe there voice activated? lets try that clairvoyance skill.
[clairvoyance]
i Spoke and right after finishing the sentence i felt my perception expanding A LOT. I can see all living things with mana throughout the whole forest! Why would a sword even need such a skill. I need to find a way to deactivating it. I might as well just start saying words mean stop. Well.Well lets try the first word plan aand simple
[stop.]
And that was ll that was need the spell stopped. Amazing now to get out of this forest im going to need to activate that intimidating aura skill.hmmmmm lets try naming the skill again.
[intimidating aura]
nothing happened? did it not work.After thinking it over i decided to activate my personally mana perception spell to see if theirs any life near by and to my shock except for the past out idiots there was none. not even a insect. I guess it doesn't affect me.
After playing around with all the other abilities like taking mana from the sword and OMG did if have a lot more then i have ever seen. Even more then the weapons heroes use. i also tried swinging my sword around to activate that wind slash it didnt work ill mess around with it once i leave the forest for now ill activate the “intimidating aura” skill and since those idiots are still unconscious ill just cut the rope and let them get out of here on there own. I also took all the money they had on them seeing has how they owe me something for wasting so much time. Got and i was going to be late to begin with i there not to mad at me.
And with that i began to leave the forest.I need to think of a interesting name for the sword hmm, Ill work on a name for the sword on the way into town.

Era of the Kobold Returning July Third! Hi there! Thought I forgot about this series, didn't you? In all seriousness, I am sorry for not posting in such a long time. I've been really busy with other things, mainly my education. However, once July hits and I get the time needed to write, I'll be continuing EotK where we left off. It'll be the regular one chapter a week at least, though I'll try to post more frequently for that month. Hopefully you all have been doing well! I'll see you in July. Synopsis: All he wanted was to spend his life gaming. Samuel was an absolute nerd when it came to video games, RPGs especially.

Demonic Requiem | The Epitome of Evil
He feared none but himself. As a human, Elias walked a cruel path which only got more vicious as he became a demon. Born as the son of the most powerful man in the continent, but lived a life no worse than a slave. His only friend being solitude. The further he endured, the further he began to lose his humanity. Even a point came when he lost all rationality and lived as a senseless demon. But no matter the obstacle. He endured. He learned. He survived. He evolved. As the rumors of his endeavors spread, many dreaded him, many worshipped him and many bowed before him.Nonetheless, Elias continued to walk on his path. The path of a demon. As time passed, Elias terrorized the world with his evil and devious means. People deemed him as a threat who could no longer be ignored. Many empires united. They allied, and an all-out war started. But, be it the cruelty of fate or their foolishness, the alliance lost. Elias stood as the lone survivor, but alas, he lost his life from an unforeseen cause. But for better or worse, his story still seems to have not ended. Elias gets reborn back when he was young, and the path he walked once, he will walk again, but this time the one who suffers will not be him. What to expect: This story is based on the concept of "What if a villain, gets a second chance?". Hence it contains a lot of torture, torment, and inhumanity. Revenge or such feelings do not drive Elias, so it's not a revenge story. There won't be any rape scenes or incest. It's also not a story like that. But expect some cruelty and torture along the way. Also, it's a slow-paced novel. In short: A lunatic who terrorized the world with devious power and cruel means gets reborn, this time becoming even more powerful and ruthless. Link for the Cover Art:

Guerdon
The sheer vastness of the planes of reality meant that if a combination of laws is stable enough, then it probably exists. The protagonist encounters one such stranger than fiction world that he has a hard time wrapping his head around. He is left alone in an Alien Reality. To him survival isn't the most important after all that he had been through, but he refuses defeat in his pursuit to understand the strange reality he finds himself in. Join this journey of his new story in finding out the answers and secrets of this world. I like this Genre to put it bluntly but I've always found that illogical 'Science' and flawed laws of the world, typical in these stories. So, I've decided to fix that. I have tried my best to make weirdness make sense in this World filled with Magic. Short of simulating them to verify, the laws of this new world should make some reasonable sense and will be consistent (As much as I humanely can keep it that way). This might mean my story might vary in it's progression speed but as a compensation, I promise to have a lot more sensible Cliffhangers if I must put them in. Also, I'm not a big fan of over using vocabulary when telling a story. So, My Language will be very unsophisticated. Hope that's not a putoff. So, Enjoy your reading!
