Intermission 1 - The Knight
+++
Saber’s POV
+++
When I first opened my eyes. The only thing that appeared was darkness. Slowly light appeared. What I first saw was my creator.
“The birth of servant Saber is complete!! Arise king of knights!! Serve by my side in this world of Arlenia!! Mwahahahaha!!” –Dasas
Non-Player companion Saber is registered to the party of player Dasas
I learn later that players were beings from beyond. They came to our world Arlenia. To defeat the calamities that befall the world. Players must be heroes to have such great power. No. They are some sort of great beings. The players are able to create people after all. The player Dasas created me and calling me servant Saber.
My racial profile had been set as a high elf from The Kingdom. A nation of knights. Elves from the kingdom have sturdy bodies and high affinity to light based magic. Making them the perfect knights.
My creator is now my master. With the blood of knights running through my veins. I will uphold my duty and serve my master faithfully. I had been named Saber after a sword. A suitable name for a knight. I am delighted to receive such a great name.
Years passed. I faithfully follow my master on his adventures. One day he bestowed upon me mythic class weapons. That I have only seen players equip. The mythic class sword Excalibur and mythic class shield Aegis. It is a great honor for a non-player knight to receive such holy weapons. I again renew my vow as a knight. To serve and protect my master. Wherever he may go.
Later on. My master created more people of various races to serve in our party. My master never gifted the other members of our party with mythic class weapons. Aside from me.

This mean master places his trust in me the most. It fills my heart with great emotion. Yes my master. My body and soul are yours to do as you please. Your commands are absolute. I carve this notion onto my very soul.
Many years passed. The other members and I are working towards the god class weapon, for our master. Today is the day. When my master will finally complete his god class weapon. I am happy. All our effort has paid off.
Currently master is on the fourth floor. The workshop in his mansion. Completing the final steps to his weapon. I wait for my master near the stairs on the third floor. Where all the bedrooms are located. I hope to be the first to congratulate my master on his god class weapon. When he comes down from the workshop.
My master seems to have finished. I see him coming down the stairs. However, my master looks very distraught. I am worried something is wrong. As his knight. I must ensure his safety.
“Will you need assistance master?” –Saber
My master has a flustered look. When I spoke to him. He replies with “Saber?” I am unsure what is wrong. I repeat my question. If he requires my help. Master allows me to assist him. I follow right behind him.
Once my master and I left the mansion. What greeted our eyes was an unfamiliar scene of forests and a sky with three moons. I immediately realize. We are not on Arlenia anymore.
I look to my master. Noticing the shocked expression on his face. I must prepare myself for whatever may come. I realize this was not what my master anticipated. We entered back inside the mansion. Move up to the second floor. Then my master goes and sit on his golden throne. Staring down at me.
“What the hell is going on?” –Dasas
I do not know master. Whatever is going on. It does not change my duty. I will follow my master’s orders. Face this new world with him as his knight. Any who brings harm to master. Will be cut down by my sword.

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
