《I, the son of Bloody Mary, have become a king of 6 realms.》The Birth of Edward VII
Advertisement
In a shabby palace, there was a deserted Queen’s bedroom, without a single lady-in-waiting.
The Queen was breathing restless, on a bed that was rotting with fungus, as if showing the bankrupt budget due to the war she never wanted but dragged into by her husband, Felipe II.
Only one old woman was at her side since the Queen was deserted by her ministers from the beginning and also deserted by her people after the battle.
Nonetheless, she was smiling.
She was wearing a huge smile as she had the entire world at her side, though she was breathing restless.
“Congratulations, your majesty. It’s a healthy prince.”
The midwife bowed her head, showing her queen her congratulations. Her wrinkled face also wore a smile. Because she also knew how much her queen waited for this day.
“R…Really…?”
The Queen spoke one word very hard. She was over 40. Since the surgery and medicine was not developed at that time, an old age pregnancy could have cost her life during the labor.
Nonetheless, she didn’t lose consciousness and did her best until the final moment. Because he was not only the child she had always wanted but also the son of the man she deeply loved.
The Queen held out her hand. The midwife, who had just cut the umbilical cord, handed her the prince who just cried, and she carefully held her young son in her womb.
Small breath, loud crying, warm temperature, beating heart.
“I…It was real!”
Warm glass ball trickled down her cheek. To suppress it, the Queen tried to laugh.
Suddenly, the smiling and crying got mixed. Her sorrow has erupted. Her laughter changed into a weird sound, unclear whether it’s crying or laughing. There was no sign of Blue Blood.
However, the Queen couldn’t and didn’t control herself. What the heck. Only she, her son and the midwife was her.

After crying and laughing for a while, with a crooked voice, she whispered to her son.
“You shall be the king of England and the Netherlands.”
Perhaps the smart prince understood what she said, she just had a hunch that her son tried to ask her back with surprise.
‘Silly me, he’s a newborn.’
With a smile, she gently patted her little son’s head. And after kissing her forehead, she went to sleep. So, she couldn’t hear her son – the main character of this story – speaking in a quiet voice - ‘oh my God…Bloody Mary?’ – uttering her infamous nickname.

When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is, at best, a very rough draft. I have already had to do one major rewrite and several minor rewrites of entire sections of the story, and it is a virtual certainty I will have to do re-writes again. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will.Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If your looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

The Collected Short Stories of Necrontyr525
Hey all, Necrontyr525 here! Rather then drown you all in a flood of one- to three-chapter mini-fics, I've decided to put out all of my short stories in an 'omnibus' format, sorted by series and by release date. These stories span my entire progress as a writer-for-fun over the past three plus years, with the corisponding variance in length, subject matter, and quality. Each chapter will get an Author's Note as a sort of forwards. Not nessisarily as a summary, but more to give you all some context for where each short came from, as well as any chapter-spicific trigger warnings. I can't think of any off of the top of my head, but better safe then sour.Comments, reviews, and constuctive criticizm is welcome, but please do recall that these works collectivly represent a great deal of my growth as a writer.Cover by the wonderful gej302! Go and show them some love!
