《I'm a hero? Nope, familiar》Chapter 1. Wait, What?
Advertisement
Do you ever wonder how or why people are summoned, or if it really happens or if it is just a fantasy only scenario? Well I didn't....
Ok maybe I have when I was in eighth grade *cough* the cringe... ITS STRONG *cough*
Wow, I had something caught in my throat, sorry about that.
Anyways back to what I was trying to say. Do you believe in other worlds? Things like magic, monsters, and everything in between?
I certainly didn't, after my *ahem* , junior high years, I stopped thinking about such ridiculous things. Well as it turns out, they are real.
Dropped a bombshell on you didn't I? As amusing as it is I'm going to ignore the shocked look on your face and tell you how I came to learn this information.
I used to be a normal person.
I would go to school, after I finish get a job I probly hate, find someone I fall in love with, have kids, watch them grow up, then die.
That is how my life probably would have went. How it should have went.
I digress, you most likely didn't come here to listen to me complain *sigh*. Anyways why don't I tell you how it all started. *mumble* ...doesn't care that I'm upset... *mumble mumble mumble*
-----------------------------------
My name is Niles Adrien, 16 years old, and I was having a normal day at school, listening to the people practical yelling at people to talk because no one would shut up, hearing all the loud mouthed football players laughing obnoxiously, and girls gossiping about random crap because they have nothing better to do. I was just sitting by myself listening to music, no point listening to that crap.
Like I said normal.
I didn't really have what you would call "friends".
Why are you looking at me like that?! I'm not antisocial, I'm anti-stupid *hmph*.

Anyways, I went through the day, until it came to the last class.
Sitting through the torture known as history class, I started to get a slight headache. I thought nothing of it other than it hurting but I just asked to get some water. I thought it was dehydration, but that didn't help it so I just decided to sleep through the rest of the class.
I ended up waking up right before they bell rang, but the headache was worse. Since it was the last class of the day, we were all permitted to leave, so I did.
I grabbed the things I needed and shuffled out the door.
On my way home I stopped by the grocery store and grabbed some aspirin for my headache. Then left to head for home again.
As I was walking by the town hall, which was on the way home, I noticed there was a band of people gathering around the town hall but I didn't really care. So I started walking home but my headache suddenly lifted.
Normally, I would be happy that my headache was gone, but I was too busy wondering what the heck was going on. What made me freak out you ask? Well the fact that I could see some sort of energy was swirling about, above the town hall.
Normally I would've ran far away from the scene, cuz u know, unknown stuff is scary. Man vs unknown and all that, But for some reason I went over to the people around the hall and asked what was going on.
A man angrily answered back "Some idiot in there locked all the doors and won't let anyone in. I got shit to do today dammit." Ok backing away slowly.... Don't need him to switch targets of anger... Ok... Let's go ask that lady over there.

"Hi, umm, what's going on and what's up with that thing up on top?"
"Hmm? What do you mean "thing on top"? " So you ignored my first question. *sigh* alright.
" That swirling thing on top of the building, I can't even tell what color it is" I replied to her.
"Go bug someone else with your bullshit brat"
After that, I got annoyed and stomped away from her, not even noticing another girl behind me smirk and lightly say
"Guess we missed one"
Afterwards, I got over my level of stupidity, and started heading home again. I didn't want to be anywhere near whatever that was. As I was contemplating what that was, I noticed I could feel something in the air that I could never feel before. What the heck?
Ugh, I just want to get home. So I started hurrying home, but just as I was a few blocks away, guess what happened? Really, try to guess. You don't want to? Ok. A speeding truck rounded the corner and almost hit me. Phew almost became a pancake ther..... WHAT THE FUCK?!
I was suddenly standing in the middle of the town hall's main office with what seemed to be a mix of teenagers, adults, and two or three children in the room.
Disoriented from the sudden change of scenery and my scare with the truck, I, oh so gracefully, fell on my ass. Which gathered a couple nervous chuckles from the group.
"Well now that was interesting. Glad everyone could make it"
Said an amused voice from the front of the room. That got everyone's attention.
At the front of the room there was beautiful girl sitting in the mayor's seat. She had long black hair, and what I couldn't tear away from, yellow glowing eyes. But what was most noticeable and really fucking scary was the big scythe she was spinning like a toy on her finger.

Unliving
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon, November 2021] For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in. The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless. Yet fate had a different path in store for her. For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being. Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death. She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath. What will fate deal her next? Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. --------------------------------------- Expect: -Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages -World building -Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures -Occasional action Do not expect: -Much in terms of romance -Politics, barring passing views and mentions -A lighthearted tale.

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]

Metagame
Some people get a second chance, late in life, and jump on it. Other people are on their third before they turn twenty. One was given everything they wanted, and threw it away on principle. One earned their place, but could never afford to pay the price. One never failed, right up until it mattered. One encountered nothing but failure, instead helping others achieve success. One never believed themselves worthy. One is crushed by the past, afraid of what might repeat itself. And the last never had a goal to begin with. But while nobody cared and no one was watching, they each decided to carry on in their own ways, even when that made things worse- and they did, usually, get worse. Arrows Through Reality, often called Arrows or ATR, is the world's first full-immersion Virtual Reality game, a MOBA by Granduon incorporated that didn't blow its competition out of the water, but did provide a new entry point that had millions trying their new game. Two years later, the player base has only grown, and everybody knows the most effective tactics... but while a cutting-edge AI supposedly runs the game's balance, it hasn't patched anything a single time. Well, the most effective way to do anything is subjective, right?
