《The Bad Guy Always Wins》Chapter 9: Temporary Adventure...START!
Advertisement
Right now I’m in the forest walking with Luna and Solar. Yesterday night I chewed them both out for being so weak. They are my generals and should not be trembling when they face someone stronger than them. I made that point clear and it will not happen again. They promised me they would get stronger and I’ll make sure of it.
I’m planning on taking Luna and Solar with me when I leave for my training. During that time, the rest of the pack will need to hunt everyday to catch up. We’re separated from the rest of the pack searching for some new prey. Over the years of training in that forest, we’ve outgrown it. Sure, the monsters that I don’t take the soul of reform in a week or two but the exp isn’t worth it anymore.
We’re now walking towards another town. It’s a neighboring small village called Charles Vill. I know what you're thinking about the name. “What kind of name for a village is Charles Vil?” Well I’m thinking the same thing. Maybe the mayor of the village name is Charles.
Leaving the stupid name of the village behind, Luna and Solar are both in their human forms when we finally arrive. I’ve already told mom and dad that I’ll probably be gone for a couple of days for my own personal training. I still haven’t told mom that I was leaving yet. Even the thought of telling her makes me shudder.
Currently we’re in front of the village talking with the guard. Apparently there’s been someone raiding the local houses and they’re stepping up security. Before we could take even one step into the village a big buff looking guy stops us. He’s wearing leather armor, has red hair, with freckles on his cheek. Honestly his head is kind of too small for his body and I don't know why but for some reason a buff ginger with freckles doesn’t look right to begin with. For some reason whenever I imagine a ginger he or she is a skinny person. Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, he has a spear on his back and a grimace on his face as he looks at us.

Moving on from the buff ginger, next to him is a female ginger, probably his sister. Unlike her male counterpart, she has a nice smile on her face. She’s wearing standard leather armor with an iron chestplate. Hm, she must be his superior officer. I decide not to cause any problems and smile at the lady. This...seems to cause more problems than I first thought as the ginger-buff-man growls at me. Yup, definitely brother. Although he growls menacingly at me, I seem to enjoy the feeling of pissing him off for some reason. I decide to act like I don’t notice the constant growling and continue to smile.
“Hello my lady, can we enter into this village.” I ask with my best smile. I may be only be 8 but anyone with any sense could see that I will be a looker when I grow up. With my purple eyes and my raven colored hair, even I can tell that I’m going to be a lady killer in my life. After all, Death is Beautiful. I kiss her hand and smile at the slight blush I see. I then hear two growls instead of one this time. One from behind me and one from in front. I let her hand go and step back before a battle starts with all of my constant teasing.
“W-well first we have to ask you a couple of questions before we can allow you to enter.” she said, putting her job ahead of her embarrassment.
“Ask away my lady.” I say smoothly as I hear and ignore two growls again.
“W-well, um, what do you plan on doing once you get inside our village?”
“ I plan on walking around and asking citizens if there are any monsters bothering them. I am an aspiring adventurer you see. I figured that I could train and help out a village while I’m at it. Two birds with one stone.”

“Well how noble of you. ” she says surprised that a kid my age is already starting as an adventurer.
“Well it’s nothing much but I do what I can to help. Plus I get something out of it too. It’s really not a big deal.”
“Well may we inspect your and your parents weapons please?” she asks with a smile. I smile back and nod. I take out my dagger from it’s holster and give it to her. Normally I wouldn’t do this but I don’t want to start any problems and she seems like a nice lady.
“They’re not my parents, they’re more of my adventure party and they don’t have any weapons.” I say, surprising her again. I get how she could get confused though. Although I have I have black hair and Luna has white hair, she does have my purple eyes and although Solar doesn’t have purple eyes yet, he does have black hair. If I told anyone that these are my parents, no one would doubt me.
“U-um, well, it doesn’t seem like anything is wrong so here you go.” she says, handing me back my dagger. She probably checked if I there was black magic in my weapon. Black magic has so much power that a person who posses it could destroy this whole village with a snap of their fingers.
“You may now enter.” she says, making a way for us. I start to walk into the village but while walking by, the man is still staring at me. Watching me while continuously growling. This is the start of my one week adventure!

8 162Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers. He doesn't care for the war with the rebel armies. He doesn't feel the need to vocalize complaints. He doesn't hunt for gossip and there is no object that he cares enough about to desire. He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.

It has been centuries since Gods and Angels forsook the world of Ashaari, leaving its people Faithless and divided as Magic begins to fade. But some of their powers still remain, embedded deep in the earth as rare Gems and sometimes, in blood. Wars are waged and fought over these Gems, for what little Magic they provide. But now, a new prophecy has arisen. The Angels will return and with them, comes Magic and hysteria. - In the kingdom of Illya, Princess Arellia Virtris lives a life of opulence but she is miserable; a caged puppet whose strings are controlled by the members of her court.

But when her brother—the crown prince Vasilis— suddenly arranges an unfavourable marriage, her life begins to spiral out of her control. On the other side of the continent, mercenary Dillon Azshker jumps thoughtlessly from battle to battle. He lives only for the coin he earns and booze to drown the sorrows of his past. Life has left him dispirited save for one last reckless campaign that he hopes would end it all. As fate— or perhaps, bad luck—would have it, on the night of summer solstice, the lives of these two unfortunate souls are intertwined as they find themselves caught in the dark webs of politics and sinister schemes. When they meet and tragedies unfold, their decisions will ultimately trigger a series of events that will alter the course of history. *** Warning: This novel is grimdark and will contain descriptions that some readers may find disturbing.
