《Author Vs Protagonist》Chapter 29: Master?!
Advertisement
Right now, Zhang Wei and Asyraaf were on their way to towards the Refining headquarters. As one would expect, the main building was ridiculously large. It could even be compared to the residence of world leaders of first world countries.
Zhang Wei had an idea that Asyraaf was quite important from his title, Little Genius, but he didn’t expect him to have a big shot that works in the Refining headquarters as his master.
“Would you like to meet my master he said”, while he didn’t actually want to meet a narcissist’s master, it would allow him to make more connections. Plus, it wasn’t really polite to reject this idiot’s invitation.
So here he was, in front of the Refining Division’s headquarters. Just as he was about to step inside, the guard in front of the entrance saw him and Asyraaf. He immediately stood up straight, and bowed to Asyraaf.
“Greetings Sir!”
Asyraaf didn’t say a word, but he gestured the guard to be at ease. Zhang Wei saw this and wondered.
This guy must be the disciple of an Elder here.
That was the only reason he could think of when he saw this scene. What’s more was that when they entered, everyone who saw Asyraaf bowed and greeted him.
This Elder must be an influential one.
While Elders in any sect or academy was influential in a way, some were even more. A typical Elder, with typical influence, couldn’t possibly make everyone greet their disciple.
Well he could order them to, but what kind of person in that sort of standing would actually so something so shameful?
Zhang Wei was now getting a bit nervous. Clearly form all these people’s reaction, Asyraaf’s master must be a high ranking one. He pulled Asyraaf closer and asked quietly, “Is your master a big shot? And did you tell him my real identity?”

He was worried that his master would know about him and tell all the division heads and the headmaster. If that happens, then his quest will have no way of completion.
Asyraaf replied, “Don’t worry Sir Zhang, I didn’t tell him of your identity. As for whether he’s a bigshot… um well, I guess he could be considered that.”
Zhang Wei heard that and was relieved. As long as this idiot didn’t reveal his identity, he would be safe.
Asyraaf took Zhang Wei to the higher floors. For a typical system, the higher the person’s floor, the more important the person was. The higher they went, the more nervous Zhang Wei felt.
How much influence does this idiot’s master have?
When they rose up six floors only they stopped. They entered a room that looked like an office, with the decorations being almost over the top. Jade embroidered ceilings, with walls made of gold and sculptures made of materials Zhang Wei haven't even seen before. This was the definition of filthy rich.
At the end of the office was something that looked like a chamber door. Even that door was made of gold and the knobs were even made of what looked like to be diamonds. Zhang Wei’s stared at those things for a while.
Asyraaf saw that Zhang Wei was staring and blushed with embarrassment, “Forgive me, Sir Zhang for this ugly scene, but my master is… an idiot.”
That was the best way Asyraaf could word it. Asyraaf thought that Zhang Wei was disgusted by the fact that his master seems obsessed with gold and jewellery. Martial Practitioners should not be enticed by these mundane decorations.
As a high levelled expert, Asyraaf thought that surely Zhang Wei could not believe that someone on the level of his master, could be so weak willed that he would succumb to worldly greed. As such he was embarrassed.

Every second that it took to reach that gold door, made Asyraaf even more embarrassed. When they finally reached it, he couldn’t take it anymore and kicked it open. He yelled as he did it, “Oi shitty old man! Where are you?!”
Hearing that Zhang Wei couldn’t help but widened his eyes. The heck? What kind of greeting is that?
It was the first time Zhang Wei saw someone greeting their master like some random old man.
At that instant, a powerful voice could be heard, “You little shit! How many times do I have to say, call me master!”
Asyraaf was not bothered by the pressure at all, “Che! Gross, damned perverted fogey.” His face showed that he was clearly sneering at this so called ‘master’.
The ‘master’ came out of a small room and started cursing at Asyraaf, “Little shit! Haven’t you ever heard of showing respect to your elders? Which pit of shits did you crawl out from?” He was actually not old looking at all. His features could pass him off as a man in his thirties.
"Oh? Who’s this kid?”, he stared at Zhang Wei. It was unusual for his little disciple to bring someone to meet him. The last time was when he brought the scion of the Alvero Family.
Asyraaf ignored his master’s question and turned to Zhang Wei with a smile, “Sir Roland, this shitty old fogey is unfortunately, my master.”
The man heard Zhang Wei’s name and smiled, “Roland? So, you’re that kid huh.” His face clearly showed he knew Zhang Wei very well.
Zhang Wei saw this and smiled inwardly, News sure do spread quickly.
The old man didn’t wait for Zhang Wei to reply and started to introduce himself nonchalantly, “The name’s Syamil Winchester, Division Head of the Refining Division.”
…
Whattt?!
Zhang Wei was shocked. Division Head? Which one? Refining Division? He couldn’t believe this person that was cursing so much was an equal to the elegant Division Head Nar and the poised Headmaster.
However, that was not the most shocking thing he heard. He looked back and forth between Asyraaf and Division Head Syamil. The thing that he found the most absurd was,
This idiot is a disciple of a Division Head?!

A cataclysm occurred in the world, which rolled back its development for many centuries. The power in it returned to the church, because otherwise, as the "2nd coming", the event that destroyed the earth, cannot be called. A big war is brewing, humanity has already mastered all places suitable for life, and the rulers are trying to expand their possessions at the expense of others. Our hero, Marzio, lives in one of the free Italian towns. He is the bastard of a major feudal lord who made his name in the war. His mother, despite her righteous lifestyle, practices quackery. For which one day, on an unremarkable and ordinary day, she is sentenced to death. Seeing the burning of his own mother and losing faith in people, Marzio begins his journey. Thanks to the connections of his small family, he escapes from the city and, together with a trade caravan, moves to another city, where he plans to enter the academy and become stronger. Along the way, he contacts people who call themselves "diggers" - plunderers. So, he finds himself in the ruins of the old world, which was much more developed and finds more and more evidence of the terrible secret of the true cause of the fall of the world, which the church so zealously hides. But the second coming gave not only the suffering and wrath of God, but also monsters from mutated animals. In a fight with them, he falls into the eyes of the detachment of the sacred order, after which they, having estimated its potential, take it to themselves and, with their patronage, he enters the academy. At the academy, he meets new friends, and his origin is revealed there. Since he is the only male descendant, he can claim the title and possession of his father. Thanks to this, our hero receives a certain amount of attention from the opposite sex. After training, Marzio learns about the so-called knowers who are aware of the artifacts of the ancients and how things truly are. New prospects are opening up for him, but also new dangers. He becomes part of the squad that helped him. And using modern for us and futuristic for the Middle Ages, small arms are engaged in protecting the secrets of the church and persecuting a group calling themselves apostates, who want to reveal all the cards that will drive the world into a new branch of chaos and the fight against the regime. As cover, his order sided with minor rulers to fight the old-fashioned way and maintain the balance of power. More and more secrets are revealed to Marzio, and a serious intriguing game unfolds behind him, into which he is sucked in with more and more force. But the hero is the hero, in order to grow and cope with the twists and turns of fate, he stoically withstands all trials and even not knowing about the threats from the east and another continent continues to go forward to meet his fate, for the sake of freedom, revenge and struggle.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
