《Hero Delivery》chapter 7
Advertisement
Somewhere, where none dared to tread, on a broken world, in a storm of sand, to people walk the dunes searching.
“Where are we?” The woman asks pulling up her mask to keep the sand off her face.
The man shouted to be heard over the storm. “Beyond the void!”
“No! This is a desert, and why are we walking?”
“Have you ever tried to drive a truck over sand dunes?” The man asked as the storm suddenly passed, leaving the two people staring at each other. The woman looked annoyed and the man just rolled his eyes before adding, “ it's the only way we can move here.”
“I thought you could drive anywhere?” She asked sarcastically.
The man became serious with his answer, “Not beyond the void.”
The woman looked around the empty space, nothing to see for miles in every direction except for the wandering storms. “Why are we even here?”
The man turned and continued making his way across the dunes, “For a delivery.”
The woman hurried to catch up, “To who? There's no one on this entire planet.”
“No, there is one left.”
——
On an empty stretch of glass, the only place in this world where there was no sand, a god sat trying to understand.
“I watched as my world fell. Taken by the chaos as the last creature fell, and my world died. Nothing but husks of what once was life.” The god paced as he lamented the death of its world. Remembering when he had raged, in his anger he destroyed everything that was left. All the lives he had shepherded gone, all records now destroyed. He had raged until the world was nothing but a desert.
The god stopped his pacing looking around, "What is left?” The god was lost. “What do I do now? There is nowhere for me to go. The other gods fell fighting, and only I hold what's left of the world together.” The god fell o his knees, “Why didn't they come after me after the others fell?”

“Once a world is consumed, they no longer hunt.” A voice said right next to the god, causing him to jump startled. The god looked towards the voice seeing two people standing covered in sand, taking off a pair of masks.
“Who are you?” The god asked in disbelief.
The man wiped the sand off his cloak, “I’m a delivery man.”
“How?”
“I'm here for a package.” The man said looking down at the god.
“What use do I have for trinkets?” The god's anger began to rise as he snapped, “My world has ended.”
“Yes. It has, but I’m not here for a delivery. I’m here for a pickup.”
“Hey” The woman tapped on the man's shoulder, “What are we picking up?”
“Yes. I would also like to know.” The god asked staring hard at the man.
The man smiled, “A god.”
“Are you my end?” The god asked his anger deflating.
“In a way.”
The god's eyes widened. He finally began to understand "You are..."
“Yes.” The man interrupted the god.
The god began to laugh and laugh bordering the edge of madness before shouting. "Yes! Yes! Let us go, beyond. Beyond, everything!”
——
It was a long while after the two met the god, and brought him to the truck that the woman finally asked. “Um, what was all that?
“I did my job.”
“But you deliver heroes.”
“I do.”
“But...” Cogs could slowly be seen turning in the woman's head.
The man saw this, “I can see you’re getting it.”
The woman’s eyes widened as she said in disbelief, “There's no way.”
“Why not?” The man asked raising an eyebrow.
“Be...Because he's a god.” The woman stuttered trying to get her words out.
“Why would that make a difference?” The man asked before adding, “Sometimes gods can be heroes too.”

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
