《The Story of KED》Part 1 Formation - Chapter 22
Advertisement
Kid stood on a formation of rocks above a crowd of thousands. Speakers were set up on either side transmitting his words to thousands more.
“Today is a dark day for our rebellion.” Kid started, his voice solemn and grim, before raising it with more inspiring and uplifting ones. “We may have lost our leaders and our founder, but our mission still stands. The Empire MUST be defeated, for the sake of all those oppressed and enslaved by the Empire we must continue to fight.”
Kid’s expression grew more determined as he took a deep breath and glanced over everyone in the crowd, “I will take my father’s place, I will lead our rebellion, but I can’t do it alone, so please, will you stay with me? So together we can end the blight of the Empire.”
The crowd was silent for a moment before slowly cheers rolled through them, soon the entire crowd roared with cheers. Kid smiled, “Then get ready to move out, we have an area for a new base, and we’ll need a bit of reorganization. They’re will be challenging days ahead of us but we’ll come out stronger and ready to face the Empire.”
Bravo stood watching the crowd, his eyes red from previous weeping. He turned to look at Delta, his face twisting with anguish and guilt. Delta’s missing limbs had been replaced with cold metal ones, and half of his face was badly scarred.
Bravo heard the noise of stomping feet and turned to see Buck heading towards him. As Buck drew near he slammed a fist into Bravo’s stomach causing him to double over. He then grabbed him by the neck and smashed him up against a rock with his fist held ready to deliver another blow.
Buck’s face was twisted in anger and sorrow, “It’s your fault!’ He screamed, “If we hadn’t gone to that stupid base Mickey would still be alive.”

Bravo looked him in the eyes before glancing away in shame. Delta moved over and put a hand on Buck's arm and shook his head. Otto moved in and stared at him, “Buck?”
Buck looked from each of them and back to Bravo, then shoved away from him in disgust, “I'm leaving, don’t bother trying to find me.” He said as he stalked off.
The three boys stood there in stunned silence, the air between them thick with their grief. After a while the blond haired boy from earlier appeared. “How are you holding up?” He asked Delta.
“I’ll be fine.” Delta answered.
The man gave a sad smile and looked to the other two, “I’m sorry for your loss. It isn’t easy losing those close to you.”
The four of them sit there reflecting on past events and loved ones lost. Bravo finally looked at the man, “You never gave us your name.”
“Ah, sorry,” The young man explained, “I go by Fox.”
“Bravo.” The young boy replied.
Fox gave him a soft smile, “Well Bravo, what will you and your two friends do now.?”
Bravo looked at Delta and Otto, getting a determined look from each, before turning back to Fox, his eyes filled with resolve, “We’re going to fight.”

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.
