《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.

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
