《Re: Pessimist》Chapter 4: A way to pass time
Advertisement
Hey, Al! Actually, I have no idea what to call you. Hey, can you stop falling asleep whenever I have something important to tell you? Pleaseeee? I actually have something very important to tell you!
You see, Flare, whenever I go to sleep, I don't give a shit if I'm in a prison being tortured or if a goddess who can't handle a drink has something urgent to tell me. So, if you could, shut fuck up, I would gladly be your friend. Actually, knowing you, I wouldn't even be your friend.
Can't you be nice for a second? Anyways, it seems the wildfire has gotten some important tools for you! It is the next step into becoming awesome!
Yes, I know I've grown teeth but you know already that I don't intend to use bottomless digestion in any way aside from drinking myself till I piss my pants. So, if that's the only important shit you got, then I'm heading back to sleep.
You look like a two year old.
Oh, so I basically grew physically into two years within the matter of 48 hours, huh? So is every day from now on going to be a year for me? Am I going to be a 30 year old by the end of the month? If so, that's actually pretty decent since I can have fun drinking and die pretty easily.
B-But, aren't you going to do anything? I know for a fact that you can do some weird things like kill a demon lord or something or marry a princess... or even... oh yeah... I forget what you're like at times.
Why the hell would I go to a demon lord or even a princess? Do they have unique wine cellars or something? Cause I'm pretty sure my parents already had a lot of shit which is royal enough for me.
Actually, if you're interested in wine so much, here, let me show you something.
A blue screen appeared before me again and within it was the description of the wine generation.
Wine Generation-Max:
The ability to generate wine,
or any form of alcohol whatsoever.
From anywhere on your body... (ᗒωᗕ)

However, what alcohol you generate is
determined by what alcohol you have
drank before.
Current Alcohols:
Royal elven wine
Elven wine
Elven beer
Elven rum
Elven vodka
Holy shit! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! THIS IS LEGENDARY! FUCK EVERYTHING, I HAVE FOUND SOMETHING AMAZING!
I looked around to find out where I was, it was definitely dark, but I could faintly make the room. The walls were different, they had some white plaster instead of the lazy architect design... actually this is more lazy. There were a lot of bookshelves, I'm starting to think I'm in a library.
And, I'm in a crib again, whoo! That's a fucking annoying discovery.
Oh well!
I stood up, in one of the most comfortable suits I've ever been in, it's awesome, if I had the dragon with fur instead scales transformation, this would be second-rate! Oh, it's a onesie, just realised that.
I turned to my left, to see a mirror on a desk nearby, it's probably where some woman would do her make-up since there's a lot of make-up there! I lit my index finger on fire and walked normally over there, waddling became a bit too weird.
And... I look like an inbred shit.
My hair is taken after my mother's which is odd, it's quite flat and is still very green, so are my eyes... I sort of look like Daenerys from game of thrones in terms of inbreeding looks. Really pretty, probably a lot of rule 34 floating around somewhere and definitely inbred.
I haven't watched game of thrones, that's the only character I know.
"Well, this is creepy. Midget, show me my status." I demand from Flare.
Name: Alfred RathmoreSpecies: Flaryvna Incarnate(Natural species is negated)Age: Not even a yearStatus: NormalLevel: 1Titles: Incarnate of Flaryvna, Depressant of Gods, Faithlessness, Goddess of WineSTR: 5INT: 70WIS: 100END: 10DEX: 10LUK: 10
"Whoa..." Flare once again appeared besides me, this time she spoke aloud. "Your status grew so much in so little time! This must be the effects of wildfire!"
"What do you mean grew so much? I think I have the most shittest status I have seen in my entire life." I groaned at her, she shook her head.

"This doesn't work like it does in games, in this world the average status of a normal male human is 20. You Intelligence and Wisdom are adamant. I haven't even seen elves grow this fast." Flare seemed to be excited about all of this, which is expected from her at this point.
"Well, before I point out what I wanted to, show me the descriptions of Depressant of Gods and Faithlessness." I once again demanded from her, she complied.
Depressant of Gods:
Are you serious? You really made
the gods depressed? What are you
some pessimist who doesn't believe
in anything?
Oh, you are?
Well, this title was especially created
for Ewan when he made Flaryvn cry for
pointing out that there is no meaning
or point in anything and calling her
an insignificant little shit.
Are you happy, Ewan? Oh, shit, you are,
aren't you?
This title negates all interferences of
Gods and Goddesses without your
approval. Also, because you wouldn't
mind dying your H.P was removed.
You depressing cunt.
Faithlessness:
Oh, look everyone, it's
Ewan again with his
depressing attitude and
annoying words. Seriously,
you are like the number one
asshole.
I'll stop, since this is probably doing
nothing to you anyway.
Ewan, you don't believe in anything,
you strictly believed that you can
explain things via science and math
and anything else is just stupid
delusions.
Because of your cynical nature,
you don't require any M.P, you
can use any magic or powers or
whatever you want to call them,
freely.
Also, the power of Deities has no effect
on you.
...
"Flare did you write this?" I asked her, it was certainly a very asshole move to write it but nevertheless if she did write it then she's got some balls. "If my H.P is removed does that mean I won't die?"
"N-No! I didn't write it, I wouldn't write anything like that!" Flare was eager to defend herself, I'm quite certain she did write it now. "Your H.P isn't displayed, since you have no qualms about dying it was considered irrelevant for you to even have H.P since you don't care about your own life."
"Flare, really? If you wrote it at least admit it, besides our relationship ain't going to be any different if you did write it." Now that I think about it... is our relationship a drunkard and a midget who is neurotic?
If you want to confirm our relationship, we could just ask the blue box. It can efficiently examine our relationship and tell us what it is based on its results.
Oh, I keep forgetting that we can talk via telepathy, so if that's the case... Flare, make the box tell us what it thinks of our relationship!
Fine...
Examining...
Is this a loading screen? Does your screen have a loading screen?
Hey, if you want it to be accurate, then you have to wait!
Examination complete.
Relationship between
Flaryvna and Ewan/Alfred:
Codependent
...
...
I was actually going to doubt it and argue that it's completely wrong but when I look at our relationship up until this point, we really appear codependent.
Actually... you have a good point. And us being aware of this isn't going to stop it, is it?
No, no it is not. Anyways, with all that out of the way, I can finally tell you my master plan! The idea to do everything!
The idea to... pass time.
Okay... what is your totally amazing idea which encompasses everything? Everything like devils, she-devils, rip-offs, dragons and inappropriate things.
Okay, first of all, that was a metaphor. It's mostly going to give us something interesting to do. Do you know what that idea is?
Is it to travel the world and do all you can do drink all the wines in existence so you can have the greatest Wine Generation skill and to get drunk on every single alcohol simultaneously?
Wow, that was actually accurate, it was spot-on. Nice job, Flare.
I think I have gotten to know you too well... I don't feel proud of it.
Really? You're my ego, act like it. Now, let's get this started!
Let's drink every alcohol there is in the world!
Yay! We are finally going to do some adventuring!
Now I just have to eat the crib.
A/N:
Welp, they're codependent, that's an interesting relationship. :P
And the journey to drink all alcohols in existence... BEGINS!
Oh and thanks for reading. [th_117_.gif]

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Second Chances
Given a chance for reincarnation and tasked by the System, I picked the Sidhe for this second life. A world of Seelie, Unseelie, Kelpie, Redcaps, and Slaugh. The Gods of the Tuantha de Danann forced into sleep, the people forced to remain locked on their home planet. In this latest Book, Teigh Mac de Beleros y Cyronax has saved his people from stagnation and ruin. His denouncement of Olympus and Asgard before the Universal Senate has allowed the Sidhe to break the ties that constrained them, and the chains that kept them rooted to their home world. But the Sidhe and the Tuatha de Danann are unique across all multi-verses and all Pantheons. They have the unique ability to travel anywhere and anywhen. But this ability comes at a cost. The Tuatha de Danann do not have incarnations seeded across each Universe. There is only one Tuatha de Danann, and when Athena and Loki come to Teigh with the tales of a plot that will destroy not only the Tuatha de Danann but the multi-verse, he removes his crown to once more face off against Zeus and Odin and save his people. Second Chances has been taken down for editing and a major rewrite...
