《True Path》Characters Reference
Advertisement
Hello.
I'll be pretty busy today (yay! community service :D! Something productive!) so idk if I can get out a chapter or not. I'll just put up a character guide for the heck of it. Too lazy to list alphabetically right now, so I'm just going to sort of order them in the order they were first mentioned in the chapters.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Prologue-Chapter 4
Ladriath: The most op dragon ever. On Draen. He was extremely bored with his life and he could not Ascend. No idea what happened to him.
Eldon Heart: The main character of the story. A fairly average boy, Eldon is one of the more studious types. He hopes to become a magician. His potential is uncommon, but it is still fairly low.
Mr. Smith: One of Aramore's lumberjacks.
Roxana Heart: Eldon's little sister. Her temper suits for her to become a swordswoman.
Veronica Heart: Eldon's mother. She is quite strict on her son but wants what is best for him.
Mrs. Fern: Eldon's teacher at school. She is loved by her students. She sees Eldon to have the makings of a scholar.
Vincent Reyes: The town head. A naturally charismatic man, Vincent had used his own wealth in order to make the town prosper.
Brien Crowshade: A good friend of Eldon. Has the tendency to spontaneously fall asleep. He is rather witty.
Angus Silver: Another good friend of Eldon. Has an abnormally large and powerful body for a thirteen year old.
Serene Reyes: The prettiest girl in town. She gets along with everyone well. Angus's crush and Brien's sorta crush?
Karis: The girl of Eldon's dreams. Or she could just be a fleeting childhood love that disappears as he grows older. Not saying she is.
Alera: A friend of Serene and Karis. I don't think she's important.

Brutus Silver: Father of Angus. An excellent blacksmith.
Leonar Heart: Father of Eldon. Currently the captain of the guardsmen in Aramore.
Madam Reyes: Vincent's Reyes wife. According to Leonar, her cooking is unparalleled.
Lisa: One of the recruiters from Valis Institute. She's just my type.
Ganon: One of the recruiters from Valis Institute. He does most of the talking.
Brien's parents: Both have weak aptitudes, and are stunned when Brien obtains a neutral and a high aptitude.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 5-11:
Eldon Heart: Our main character. Has neutral aptitude for all elements, so his core's qi is the exact same color as the world's qi: yellow. Although, his pure qi is a lot more golden. I think I'll make him have affinity for no affinity xD.
Aevas: A friend of Ladriath's. Ladriath suspects that Eldon is his reincarnation.
Angus Silver: One of Eldon's good friends. Has fine aptitude for earth.
Brien Crowshade: Another one of Eldon's good friends. Through a stroke of luck, he obtained a neutral aptitude for lightning and a high aptitude for darkness.
Nikolas: Currently a minor side character.
Serene Reyes: Daughter of the town head in Aramore. Has neutral aptitude in earth, fine aptitude in water, and high aptitude in light.
Karis: Eldon's crush. Has good aptitude in wind and water.
Alera: Currently a minor side character.
Rosaline: Currently a minor side character.
Ganon: One of Aramore's recruiters. He became chattier than I expected.
Lisa: Another one of Aramore's recruiters. Still my type.
Carolina: Ganon's big sister. She's a nice person to everyone except Ganon.
Finlay: Also from the town of Aramore. He is older than the people in Eldon's group. A nice person. ? Aptitude for lightning.
Ladriath: Awoken from his long slumber, Ladriath finds himself in his core. With his energy weakening, Ladriath chooses to merge with the unsuspecting Eldon in order to preserve himself.

Vernis: Comes from a small town. Knows a lot and goes around, scurrying for information. He thinks he has some pick up skills.
Mr. Baruch: Current headmaster of the Valis Institute. Possibly a cultivator, but he looks more magey to me. What's with the buckler?
Lazus: Noble from the Slytha Clan. Very suave and debonair.
Hm...I keep forgetting what my characters look like, so I guess I'll have to put in their physical appearances later...

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Obligate of a Self-Ordained Sorcerer
Come join the Discord! It was a typical late-night friday for Mara, secluded in her apartment in front of a digital expanse, relentlessly mashing code into a keyboard. An introverted workaholic, but this was what she wanted - what she had strived so hard to achieve. So why did she feel so lost? Her life was productive, comfortable, satisfying. Plenty had it worse but she still felt... ungrateful? Stunted? The right word escaped her, but she could feel the general revelation settling upon her. With it came a choice that would set events in motion far beyond the meager scope of a 'New Game+'. So taking an intrusive portal to god-knows-where, Mara will come to find that her new world offers boons and banes with equal abandon. Magic, skills, and unforgiving difficulty. For a frail human shut-in, finding herself stranded in the middle of a sprawling dungeon was one of the least desirable outcomes. Food and water would be the least of her problems, why oh why couldn't she just get summoned by some pervy king to slay a demon army or something? This is a story of magic and adventure with skills and stats galore. A litrpg / isekai epic that I've been inspired to make after years of wonderful works like "So I'm a Spider," "Rimuru the Slime," "Azarinth Healer," "Negima!?," and plethora of other isekai and fantasy novels and animes. Special shout-out to Douglas Adams, a big influence on narative humor that's had a non-insignificant effect on my writing style. I hope you enjoy joining Mara on her journey as I attempt to scratch the itch they left behind.Chapters target 3-6k~ words. Though I'm personally aiming for a chapter every couple weeks, I think I can at least promise one a month with how busy work's been. I made a Patreon due to requests, if you'd like to support me there I'll be using it to fund artwork and RR ads for increased exposure.

Edge of the Storm
A thousand years after narrowly escaping extinction, humanity still fights for survival on the fringe of space. On the alien, hostile world of Deana, Taro is tasked with dealing a mortal blow to an enemy that has pursued the last dregs of the human species across light years. From the Wild Summer hyper-carrier, Taro must strike out at an enemy that seems like it would stop at absolutely nothing to ensure humanity's time in the universe draws to an end. The key to it all is Valerie, a human bred super-weapon, and the discovery she makes aboard the enemy craft Delirium. What to expect from Edge of the Storm: You will find here a slow burning story that is punctured by moments of high flying action, intense mecha battles, gory hand-to-hand combat, tough decisions and sacrifices. What you won't find are black and white morals, harems, cute girls, big boobs, or anything else that might bring me troves of readers. You have been warned. Update schedule: Saturdays (and maybe Wednesdays).

The watcher of universe and stuff.
The most devastating thing to an eternal being must be boredom. If nothing can change you, how can you yourself change? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way. I should point out that there are multiple lead characters and they will all have their own personalities and motivations. While the story will focus more on our MC Trey, you can expect multiple POV switches. If you do not like POV switches, this might not be for you. My first book. If anyone will ever read this, be so kind as to leave a comment. Even, if all you say is an insult. As long as I can improve this work by your comment, it's all fine. One thing’s for sure. I will keep writing as if my reader can handle curse words without curling into a little ball and repeatedly saying: "Leave my safe-space alone, you monster". Therefore, you can expect some profanity.

Cosanta
Attie, a young boy who has from a young age not been able to speak or utter much of any sounds, and his exploration of the world using his gift of spiritual sight as the anchor of his power. It will be slow going, but power is granted suddenly and viciously, the story will be centered around a world gradually being exposed to supernatural powers and entities and how these changes affect mankind and individual people. Multiple main characters, some with stories that intertwine and others entirely separate and distinct. Heavily character focused. --- Any critique about anything at all is greatly appreciated.
