《The Battle Mage》Lady Luck

"What about my blessing?" I gulped
"Remember when I told you about Lady Luck?"
"Yeah.."
"What I actually meant then was Ladies Luck, which means your luck with ladies is uhm...let's just say your a chick magnet"
"Okay...." I'm still processing everything
"Yeah....and now you're going to tortoise island.."
"uh-huh"
"There will be lot's of women there.."
"I can see what you're trying to say"
"But don't worry, your skill only works to those with a pure heart"
"Am I a Disney princess or something?!" Pure heart? seriously?
"haha, as long as you don't act like one"
"Then why is it called Gambler's Luck?"
"I have no idea, probably because you can only charm a few women with it? Anyway, that's all the time I've got"
"When will you be back?"
"Who knows?"
Grimm laughed as he left through the dimensional rip.
The next morning I woke up to Arachne wrapping herself around my body while Mira was on the table fixing her hair
"G'morning" I greeted Mira
"Morning" Mira sweetly smiled
"Arachne, wake up" I tried to wake Arachne up
"Muu...Lyan...Nooooo~" I kept poking her cheeks
"Come on Arachne, wake up or else I'll get Lyan all for myself~" Mira chuckled
"I'm awake!" Arachne quickly sat up
The three of us went to the dining hall to get breakfast and coincidentally saw the Knight's academy eating on the table opposite of us, they didn't cause any trouble this time and just silently ate their grub.
The entire trip to Tortoise Island was peaceful since then. After 8 hours of boredom, we finally arrived at Tortoise Island.
"Hyaaahhh!" Rivera quickly went down the ship and stretched her body.
"That was boring" Clay also left the ship

"Come on, let's look for a place to set up our base" I urged them to move
We traveled for 30 minutes before arriving at a clearing near a river that led straight to the ocean, this place was perfect so we quickly set up camp and hunted for food
"Captain, what should we do with the others" Clay sat beside me and asked
"What do you mean?" I replied
"The Knight's Academy and Religion of Light gave us some nasty looks earlier"
"I didn't see any of those from Religion of Light"
"They're the ones who wore a white hood and robes that reached down to the ground"
"Oh, those guys"
"Yeah, I have a bad feeling about them"
"Yeah, I do too, however, we can't just go picking a fight with everyone. We still have the reputation of the academy to protect, also there's my family's reputation. The son of the hero of the north can't just go killing people without reason even though I really wanted to kill the fat fuck that tried to rape Talia's mom, I can't put myself above the law. I already told dad about the incident with that chief, it's all I can do..."
"I know you really wanted to get back at the man but you let us go instead because you know you might kill the guy and for that...thanks" Clay thanked me
"Yeah, so all we can really do right now is finish our mission...but if they hurt any of you then... I hope they don't blame me for burying their corpse here"
"Don't worry captain, we're not that weak"
"haha, I know you guys aren't that weak"
"Captain, it's burnt" Clay pointed at the fish that was as black as charcoal
"Oh, My bad, Guess I was lost in thought"
Clay and I talked about a few things before handing out the cooked fishes to everyone.
"Okay, I will go out to scout a bit, everyone else will have to stay here" I said
"Sure thing Cap'n" Rivera and Clay agreed
"But..." Arachne wanted to reason but Mira stopped her
I went on my way and left the camp, I have no specific place to reach so I randomly walked and before I knew it, I reached the shore and saw a broken down ship.

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.

Sylph Resurgence
Our protagonist Kai has his mother taken away from him at a young age, an act apparently committed by demons. Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts. Kai may only be a 2nd Year student at Zion Academy, but the raging storms of this chaotic era spare no one, especially given his close ties to Adeline, the Sylph Princess. Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War. Moreover, relations between all 4 Kingdoms on the Central Continent, namely Nirvania, Miran, Cameron and the Sylph Kingdom, have reached unprecedented heights, ushering an age of peace. However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head. Even though Kai had trained hard over the past 2 years to master both his demonic and Sylph ancestry, when the battle has evolved from between mortals to that of the seemingly immortal Chaos Generals, can Kai and his fellow Nirvanians rise above the odds with their allies and vanquish the chaos?
