With the rising sun
It has been 600 years since the fall of the world when the first monolith appeared and the monsters started pouring out of it. It took another 100 years for the world to band together to create the nanotechnology that powers the system as we know it, leveling the playing field or so history classes tell kids. Today is Roger Pickled's 18th birthday. For most it’s a passing of an age, towns have big festivals once a year to send everyone to the city for testing to see what tier they will fall into. The tiers are determined by the type of AI you get from the testing. There is an unknown number they all have their own personalities and will help a young diver form their paths. Roger was not one of the kids from a small town he lived by himself since he could remember in the slums of old New York. The only memory of his parents was them hugging him goodbye, his mom was crying, his dad looked scared they left him enough canned food to last a week and he had a water filter that his dad made. It used to make the water taste like strawberries but now it just made it taste funky, his clothes were ragged and he had a pale sickly look to him. He was small with long grimy black hair he had tired back with a bit of old wire he could not remember his last meal. From his window he could see the monolith. The beauty of it was awe inspiring one would never know that it killed 1000s of divers in a year, the mortality rate was worse then the mines. Those were his only two options: he could get his AI and try his hand at delving or he could go sign up for the mines and have his AI reprogrammed to look for the best ore. He would be safer in the mines and he would always have three hot meals and a bed to sleep on, it’s what most slum rats did. The few that choose to try their hands at diving where mostly short lived the lucky few that were not are now counted among the strike teams to clear new monoliths or as most people call them dudgeons. Every town had at least one team bigger areas had more New New York had 6 just due to the population they all had names like the glory griffin’s, the singing harpy’s and the mighty Manicor. Then there was his team the hippogryphs Jake Tammer was from the slums he entered the dungeon which just the clothes on his back and came out 2 months later wearing full samurai armor with a blood red mask to complete the look.he was known as Jake the devil Tammer. He was every slum kid hero. The sun was starting to rise and with it the line to the government AI testing will rise along with it.

GAT was always busy there was never a slow day there was only one in each zone, every town sent there 18 and 19 year olds once a year to the city to get tested the trips are hard and even out side of the dungeons monsters spawns are getting worse so some skip a year but you must be tested for your AI by the end of 19 or it can fail to bond there are rare cases where people are found in the wild or something and they don’t have one or even know about them. But those cases are rare.

A father challenged, a mother desperate or a son lost. Twice – Born are those who lived a life of narrative weight and died a death worth telling. Just to do it all over again, for the gods enjoy a good story as much as everyone else. And they want more. Always more.“ - Dio, the Mad King Rather than being thrown to his death by the hands of the demons of the Wyld, eternal foes of his empire, a young man takes his last free choice.

He enters the dark tunnels with nothing but a faint hope and the powers of the Twice-Born: to manipulate the class system and tailor to his needs what he thought was destiny.

Witch Hunt. A Warhammer Fiction
The adventures of Adebar von Bolstedt continue!Adebar von Bolstedt, fugitive noble scion of the Empire, stuck in the Great Forest of Talabecland, is gravely wounded by the bestial denizens of the dark wintery woods, only surviving due to the timely arrival of aid and relief in the form of the masters of this land.What begins as a pleasant stay with the wild noblemen of Talabecland soon becomes a matter of faith and tradition as old as the Empire itself, when he finds himself trying to root out a coven of witches from a society that prides itself on rural living and knowledge of the mysteries of the wild. This quest will either see von Bolstedt's shaken faith in his own god reforged into an intolerant blade, or shattered like ice. Word from the AuthorGreetings! Witch Hunt plays out in the much beloved Warhammer Fantasy setting (owned, of course, by Games Workshop). Do not fret, however, as I've made it a point to make the story digestible even to the uninitiated, and maybe even be a good introduction to the setting. This is the second part of the adventures of Adebar von Bolstedt, as such I recommend reading part one, titled "The Hand of Sigmar" first.While I cannot claim the places, concepts and gods etc. mentioned within as my own, the story and all characters flowed from my own fingers.

The Immortalizer
Walter was a mage, and Walter wasn’t happy. Oh, being able to bend the rules of the universe to his whim was nice enough, but he yearned for the freedom of choice. Maybe he would have wanted to be a farmer, a baker or a shoemaker? How would it feel to live a life like that? So, Walter made a plan: He would achieve true immortality. Not just living forever – that part was easy, especially once you realized that a human body was more of a hindrance than a help. No, he would create a way for him to become a new person and live a new life as many times as he wanted. And he would sacrifice everything to achieve it. So, meet Walter – just as he is about to realize his dream of becoming someone else. Full Blurb:Walter, a gifted mage turned undead Lich, has created a highly complex ritual that allows him to transfer himself into a newly created human body. This is supposed to allow him to live whatever kind of life he wants, whether it be a peaceful farmer, influential merchant, courtier or beggar, again and again. The first life he chooses is the exciting one of an adventurer – a government-funded guild of mercenaries that protect the citizens of his country from the ever-present monster threat. He wants to learn to fight monsters, enjoy the friendships and camaraderie of his companions, explore the land looking for long-lost ruins and make lots of exciting new experiences, all while staying completely under the radar. Of course, things aren’t going to work out that way. New chapters every tuesday, thursday and saturday!
