《Survive The Chaos》Prologue: Life is peaceful
Advertisement
The world is extremely peaceful. What you don't think so?
Oh you must be thinking about the wars that are going on in some other country.
But let me ask you this, if the world truly wasn't peaceful then how can I just be one of the many people casually walking in a mall just because there is nothing better to do than shop and wander.
Oh by the way my name is Lance a college student at the age of 21. I was bored at my dorm so my friends thought it would be fun to explore our newly built mall and see if there is anything going around.
So far not so much. I don't understand how people believe just window shopping and walking around a crowded building is fun.
"Hey what do you think you are doing!!"
Well it wasn't that interesting until now and this is just only a tiny bump in the peaceful world right now.
"Are you an idiot do you know how much this shirt cost!"
"I'm Sorry!!"
Right now a man bumped into a very pompous rich kid with what seems to be Japanese food or maybe Chinese. Well all I know is that there is a big soy sauce stain.
"Hey you are gonna need to pay me $500 for compensation for this shirt."
"What 500 dollars, there is no way I can pay that much!!!"
"Hey knock it off it was an accident and besides you can just have it washed. There is no need to make it sound like such a big deal."
And here we go one of the many people in the crowd watching what is going on is being the good guy while everyone else cowers in fear of the rich kid.

This is a good example of why this peace is boring because no matter where you go it is good vs. evil.
Its like people have to do actions that coincide with the seven deadly sins or the seven virtues to find pleasure and satisfaction with themselves.
Oh what about me. Let just say I feel like a bystander to the ways of life of the average Joe. I find no interest in what people normally call fun and so far that makes me feel that life is just nothing but boring.
Even some of my so called friends even joke and say that I am probably not human and came from a different world to study about humans just to lose my memories when I arrived.
"Hey Lance, let's go this isn't any of our business."
"OK Kyle, I am coming" I said nonchalantly.
I then turn to my friends and walk away listening as the sounds of the argument get softer and softer.
I sigh. "When will I ever find something that will actually interest me in this world." I said to myself.
"What was that Lance." Kyle said.
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing." I said.
Who knew that on that same day not only would I find my answer but almost die finding out as well.

Together we unite and make our arduous journey to the dreadful Shattered Suns—the home of our enemy. Once and for all the question shall be answered—the path to life shall show itself. **** If you would like to read the Artifacts which Silas and the Sojournor crew restore, visit our patreon page.

Reasons to Stay
Immortality has a cost, it differs from person to person. Some regret seeing their loved ones die, some regret they themselves cannot die, some regret the boredom and some regret nothing. This man regrets not having a choice, so after millions of years of getting shot, beheaded, beaten, stabbed and stoned he escaped from the world by hiding in a bunker with his books. He had studied all forms of science, he had lived history and created art, he was content with being alone with his mind until one day a man with a monocle appears, and he learns the truth. Hi! This is my second novel and I just had this idea when I was trying to sleep and my mind was making me re-live all those goddamn nightmares you don't want when it's 1 am and dark as shit, so I thought of happy things like the fantasy genre and my inevitable death and i'm like why not?

Sensus Wrought
Three millennia past, Gods descended and gave the world sensus. With their gifts came their primordial clash of notions, and so began the wars. Once, there was a place war dared not touch. Once, Evergreen was a haven for all the miscellaneous souls who did not care for the glory of their divine rulers.
