《The Wanderer's Beginnings (Book 1: A Dark Tale.).》When I Wake 2
Advertisement
(Authors Note: So guys its been awhile. Honestly i was lazy for a few weeks then this baby that was staying with us stepped on my laptop screen breaking the frame and hinges, then the coconut oil she was holding poured into my laptop so the display is all messed up now which gives me the worst headaches, the frame breakage gradually worsened till the filter for the fan broke and the fan itself started making the most annoying noise that i have to keep my ears constantly plugged just to use it, then with the bad power situation in my country my charger literaly blew up right beside me as i was using it in a public library, i bought another one which charged my system but the previous blowout had damaged the battery which shortened its off-charge time dramatically, and now to top insult to injury the charger i was able to get can't charge my laptop and let me use it simultanously.
Bad Luck Huh?)

The Dark Mistress
The Dawn Wall
“You worthless worms!!” the woman bellowed at the mishappen servants reporting to her who scurried out of the way as she hurled furniture at them using her magic
“I give you a simple job to find what caused the moon to sing and you have the gall to tell me you couldn't find anything, something that powerful and you cant find a trace of it?” Her anger blazed as she screamed and raged destroying everything around her, including the unlucky hobbit that got caught in her storm of magic(Authors Note: Remember the woman from Chapter 4, this is her)
Were it not for the power she was currently displaying had anyone seen her they would feel she was a warm and welcoming woman, standing at Five feet Eight Inches with blond hair neatly packed behind her(Authors Note: Not really behind her perse, check this out), wearing a neat white blouse with a grey skirt(Authors Note: Kinda like this) which worked together to give her an approachable appearance when coupled with her kind blue eyes and laugh lines

But this woman was famous on the dawn wall for her creulty, she was the guardian of the East wall, the most accessible of the Walls, she had singlehandedly turned the Dawn wall into a no mans land by causing all those foolish or foolhardy enough to venture there to disappear and never be seen again, She was Her the Cruelest of the Wall guardians, often send out familiars to lure unsuspecting travelers and villagers to the wall where she would imprison, torture, and enslave them for all eternity
Of the Eight Guardians spread out evenly along the breadth of the wall only she indulged in such, the others may have an occaisional cruel streak but they mostly keep their regions inaccessible to all contained within
Unknown to the general public was the fact that the guardian were unable to leave the walls themselves, the legend around them say that they were the ones who had erected the walls and acted as guardians over the lands, but the truth is they were once normal villagers and travelers who had ventured into the wall and found its nexus where they were bound to the wall, gaining incredible power but becoming slaves to it losing their ability to cross its threshold.
Hera reached out with tendrils of darkness grabbing the misshappen minions and ripping them apart even as they screamed, the moment she dropped them though, they would immediatelly reassemble themselves as part of the magic she had cast on them, but she had done nothing for their pain leaving them vulnerable to it as part of her sadism
“I dont care what you have to do, anything that can make the moon sing means power, I WANT THAT POWER!!!!!!!!!” she screamed at them

Regus, The Commander Kings Guard
Outskirts of North-Hold
What Happened?
On our way back from the mage's den we prepared camp getting ready for sunset, but suddenly we heard an explosion far off in the direction of North-Hold, still too far to see anything with our eyes we passed it off as a battle between two mages nearby probably, seeing as an explosion loud enough for us to hear it this far away would have flattened the city, and considering the number of enchantments on the walls alone made such a thing unlikely

We made camp, forgetting the incident as two mages posed little threat to our troop having our own mages and warriors, no one would be foolish enough to attack our band casually except we cause trouble which we hadn't
So we took turns at the night watch, rotating according to the winners and losers at a small game of dice, we rested and waited for sunrise
As we trudged on soon after sunrise one of the mages pointed out that it had stopped snowing, but we didnt think much of it until storm clouds gathered above with streaks of lighting flashing about in them, we watched in horror as a bolt of lighting wider than some streams struck down continously, pale faced we looked on staring at the sky and watched it some of us gasping as round giant diamonds started forming in the sky growing smaller before dropping causing us to lose view due to the tree line
Feeling the pit in my stomach, i was somewhat happy the retrieval mission this time made us unable to abandon anything to pick up speed, whatever was powerful enough to cause that storm was something i wanted to stay the hell away from
In the name of the gods, let it be gone.

Alexander
I had left the town to hunt for Ice-Wraiths, they were fetching a good price these days, we had amassed quite a sum from the dire wolves but i wanted my Lord to have the finest as we traveled and for that we needed more money
The service of my Lord is my joy which gave me energy to go looking for Ice Wraiths which are usually hard to find, but with my enhanced senses i had the advantage in spotting them from a distance and taking them out before they could go into hiding
But as i stalked their rumored haunt i felt an explosion come from behind me, looking back i was able to see the entire city crumble to dust from my position on the nearby mountain
I spun around and ran, pushing myself till my joints ached and strained from the pressure, my mind blank i barrelled through anything i could break without losing speed including some smaller trees and manuevered anything i couldnt
By the time the sun was rising i was halfway back to the town, i had been attacked by various wild beasts but i simply disregarded them and ran forward with them soon being unable to keep up, but it was then i saw the clouds gather and lightening like i had never seen before gather and stike towards where i was headed
I kept my head down and increased my speed, my bones and muscles protesting under the strain at this point, but i continued on without resting.
Three hours later i came to where the wall had been, running past it ignoring the plants which were growing rapidly around me, i made a charge dodging anything in my path after being hit by a tree branch which failed to break under my momentum, i probably broke a rib there
As i ran i saw people dropping from the sky naked as they landed in different points, some almost landing ontop of me which caused me to dodge them even as i ran forward
Soon i arrived at the centre of the storm as it ceased and saw my Lord standing there looking weak as he did whenever he used his powers, i slowed my momentum but ran and caught him as he fainted
With a sigh i carried him on my back ignoring my body's protest then picked up his son as i looked for shelter
It is a joy to serve my Lord.

8 110It's not a game
Where am I? This is not my room. What is this place. If you were transported to another world, to be an RPG protagonist. Just another average weak human being, with nothing but ten copper coins and a crappy sword. Could you defeat demons, monsters and giants? I think not. In a world inhabited by all manner of unspeakable evil, by devils of both monster and man. Could you right wrongs and fix a broken world? I think not. When both your fellow man, demons and the very divines that hold reality together conspire to corrupt, extort and rape this world. When they toy with you and laugh in amusement as you dance in their palms. Could you alter fate? I think not. So when this is the thorny path ahead of our protagonists, why would you expect them to be able to? They’re just human after all, teenagers at that. Nevertheless, join me on an epic journey that will alter the course of history and reality itself as our protagonists show you what it really means to be human... in an inhuman world.

8 162YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
