Especial 2: Dilema y alegría de un maestro elfo.
*Punto de vista del doctor Spencer*
Mi nombre es Spencer Lakestream, un elfo que trabaja como un simple doctor en una pequeña aldea naga llamada Alturi.
Siendo una localidad pionera con el objetivo de ampliar el control en esta área de las montañas de Tulser, la cantidad de pobladores es baja y por lo tanto, mi trabajo como doctor es tranquilo.
Pese a que soy de la familia de los elfos, mi padre es un hombre humano y fue quien me dio mi nombre y me heredó su apellido; muchos han sido los chistes de mis amigos y conocidos de que mi nombre no suena élfico en lo absoluto.
Ahora bien, mi nombre no me molesta, y desde que me establecí en Alturi ya nadie comenta sobre eso; a decir verdad, extraño un poco a los colegas que solían bromear con mi nombre.
Marcel, Leurio, Tonse, Ragaste, me pregunto como estarán esos chicos luego de haber tomado caminos separados. Espero que la fortuna les sonría.
El único de mis amigos con quien aún mantengo contacto es Allan, quien decidió convertirse en comerciante tras graduarse de la academia en la capital.
Su nombre completo es Allan Dewell, un hombre optimista y de buena naturaleza, rasgos no muy compatibles con el comercio, donde solo el ambicioso y el ruin suelen triunfar. Afortunadamente no he recibido noticias de que haya sido estafado y se haya convertido en un esclavo; todo lo contrario, parece que su negocio como vendedor ambulante ha sido fructífero y hasta ha comprado una casa, contraído nupcias y formado una familia.
Una familia... Si tan solo mi hijo se tomara el tiempo de visitarme.
Bah, no sirve de nada lamentarse.
En cuanto a Allan, ¿Cual era la ciudad en donde vive actualmente? M... Mo... Mo... ¿Molse? Si, ya lo recuerdo, la ciudad de Molse en la región de Waterloud.

Necesito ponerme en contacto cuanto antes con él, no hay nadie más confiable que conozca para iniciar con las ventas de este nuevo producto, el jabón de alta espuma.
Una mezcla de una sal especial, grasa o aceite y un poco de esencia aromatizante, ¿Quién habría imaginado que una mezcla tan simple crearía un producto tan espectacular?
Su creador es un niño naga sin ningún entrenamiento en alquimia, el cómo se le ocurrió tal idea es un misterio, incluso sabía de las propiedades dañinas de la sal y tomó precauciones al respecto.
La leyenda más conocida entre los elfos habla de cuando el dios de la sabiduría se le apareció a una mujer durante un parto difícil y le dijo que el niño estaba teniendo problemas en nacer porque estaba transfiriéndole una parte de sus conocimientos. Ese niño crecerá hasta convertirse en el padre de la alquimia.
Quizás ese sea el caso con el joven Aruh y el motivo por el cual fue escogido por un oráculo como su prometido.
No, mas bien, estoy seguro de que ese es el caso. La curiosidad y deseo de aprender, así como una gran habilidad de aprendizaje; es una lástima que carezca de la magia requerida para la alquimia, si la tuviera ya lo habría mandado a inscribirse en la academia de la capital... Ah, cierto, siendo un naga no puede abandonar las montañas de Tulser... Sería una lástima incluso si tuviera la capacidad mágica.
En todo caso, lo mejor será contactar a Allan y hablarle del jabón.

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here

Enjoy. Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. The sudden exit of Mortis Operandi's CEO, the company was facing ruin. The goblin Eft was choosen as the new CEO and boss. The previous CEO made promises and contracts that Eft now has to fulfill, and it is causing a lot of trouble.

Lacraea: The Slow Journey To riches [HIATUS]
Darren was a successful businessman, founder of the biggest publishing studio AoE studios. He lived a good life that is, until he dies. He's given a choice. either he goes to the traditional heaven, where theres no internet, TV , meat, and sex OR he goes to a fantasy world like the many his company has published. Defeat a big bad boss and become filthy rich. Theres a catch though. unlike fantasy games, the people here are not NPCs to be trifled with mundane quests, the lowest level monsters that are usually cannon fodder in games are strong and fight for their lives like any living being would, The harsh economy of medieval times, the various languages and cultures of different races, and the politics and intrigue playing in the background with a war looming on the horizon. Oh and no respawns. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ No OP characters, No chosen one,and no "oh I did something that MILLIONS of other people just didn't think to do". I am also going to try my best to stick with realism. what a guy transported to medieval times would likely do with zero knowledge of cultures or combat aside from a few TV shows. If you're looking for a powerful chosen one who defeats scores of enemies without even looking, or who finds an ancient artifact to defeat a dark lord this isn't it.

Digital Immigrant
This is the story of how James Allen Quick and Sarah Lynn Abernathy died. By 'died', I mean that their hearts stopped, their brains ceased sending electrical impulses, and all other physical functions terminated. Immediately after which, their bodies were placed into an industrial furnace, reduced to ash, and the ash was spread about in one of the last forest reserves in North America. As ash-spreading locations go, this ranked third. First and second places were, of course, a person’s favorite athletic team’s playing field and the sea. Or rather, I should say that this is how the story begins. You see, it’s what came after that is so interesting.

Hardcore OP-ness
Most people pray for good health, a loving family, and to win the lottery. I asked “Can you send me to a game-like fantasy-style world? It can't be too unrealistic, but also, it would be nice if I was immortal to some degree. Oh yea, no rape or slavery either, cause then I'll have to spend the whole time trying to create a perfect society, and I'd rather not have to deal with all that nonsense. No other players either, cause that always creates a ton of annoying drama, and I just want to have a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable time.â€Three years later, after I had completely forgotten about all that… well, better late than never I suppose. The moral of this story, is to be careful what you wish for; also, cuteness is justice, so don't complain if adorable bunnies beat you to death and devour your corpse.(Warning: This story includes profanity, numbers, humanity, nudity, uncomfortable realism in a fantasy-world, awkward but mild sexual-content, descriptive violence and gore, nekomimi, necrophilia, bizarre and disturbing sexual-content, offensive language, plus all of the other things that disclaimers usually have to tell you about. Do not read this if you dislike transportation, virtual reality, fantasy, or other similar genres… or me, because I'm the author.)I'm only posting a few chapters on this site, but there are over 100 on my wordpress. https://mike777ac.wordpress.com/hardcore-op-ness/
