《Gratuitous Item Crafting and Descriptions (and shoddy economics)》Ring of Short-Ranged Teleportation and Colourblindness
Advertisement
Jimmy wanted to make a small item, and thought making a little ring was as good idea as any.
Rummaging in the supply shed, he found some silver and bronze, and arrayed his finer tools. He quickly rustled up a lead mold ring, and heated up the silver and bronze individually. With great care and concentration he poured them together. The colour of the silver and the alloy when combined together was beautiful. Jimmy locked his eyes upon the rapidly combining new alloy, and thought of how different the metals were, and how the bronze went from yellow to more white yellow with the silver added. The rapid difference and reduction in colour.
His mind wandered as he picked up the Silveronze with a small pair of tongs, and dunked it into the cooling vat, then heated it again, and dunked it yet again. For the next half hour he did this, along with careful striking and folding and shaping of the ring. By the end of that time, the Silveronze was something greater, and after being fully cooled, he found that heating it up was unable to soften it without going a lot hotter, so he grunted with interest, cooled it and put it on his finger.
He looked at the trees outside and was a little scared when he could only see them in greyscale. He focused on the ground by them and appeared with a light pop several meters closer.
He wisely took the ring off, and explained what it did to his father.
His father's eyes gleamed with avarice as he calculated a starting sum to request of future potential buyers.
Eventually the Ring was sold to a very wealthy patron enamored by such a curiosity, a duchess in fact, who took such a delight in using the Ring to teleport around instead of walking that her legs weakened, her body fattened, and her husband divorced her. Eventually she tried to use her Ring to do a makeshift flight, but she got distracted one day and died when she miscalculated how low she needed to be to drop and her legs broke.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
