Darius wakes up to a blinding light in his eyes. He frowns as he opens them, seeing a new screen in front of him.

“Well, that’s interesting, I didn’t realize the system taxed people, but it’s certainly useful for me.” Darius says as he sits up and stretches before he gets up from his bed. He looks over and sees that Rinar is already out of bed, so he walks out of the cabin.
He sees that everyone else is up already, and is eating breakfast. He goes over and gets some to eat as well, and once everyone finishes he speaks up. “Okay everyone, I think you all know what to do, same as yesterday, we need to get some more wood, and food. I think a team should set up a well, so that we have clean water, if anyone would like to volunteer for that.” After a few people volunteer to build the well, everyone gets to work.
It continues this way for a week, during which the identifiers of the people living under Darius change to be similar to his, and he finally names the homestead, calling it ColdMist. He also levels up a few times to level 7, putting 6 points in constitution, getting it to 20 and getting him the [Hearty] trait which doubles his health regen. He also put 8 points into his Dexterity and getting him the [Tireless] trait, which doubles his stamina regen. The final 6 points he put into Strength.
Darius checks out how everything is going among his people, having had a well, palisade, and a storehouse built. He checks his status screen.

As he is checking his status screen he hears what sounds like a scuffle going on outside of the wall. He frowns as he starts to run towards the gate, heading out. He looks around confused, frowning before he sees a familiar person, though they are standing off against one of his people. He runs towards them as he shouts “Stop, stop, they’re okay.”
Both people turn to look at him, seeming to relax a little as he runs up to them. “I wasn’t expecting you back this soon Ashera, nor was I expecting you to try and fight one of my people.”
“Your people?” Ashera says as she looks at him confused. “Well, yeah, this place is mine after all, welcome to ColdMist. We are small right now, but just you wait, we will be big sooner than you think once we get people moving in.” “And you are the leader of these people? You aren’t that strong though.” “Ah, well, here it isn’t really too much about strength, I got a quest to start this place, so I did, I’ll be getting a lot stronger once more people are here too.”

“Huh, and how exactly does that work?” “That’s not something I should say. Say, you wouldn’t happen to know anyone who isn’t happy back in the city would you?” “I might, why?” “Well, you can let they know that they can come here, I’ll get some cabins set up for anyone who comes.” “Doesn’t look like there is much room in there for any more cabins.” Ashera says as she looks around the inside of the palisade. “I can just move it, I have enough points to do that.” “Points?” “Part of the secret.”
“Well, I can probably find a few people.” “Thanks Ashera. Though what brought you out here anyways?” “Well, I wanted to check up on you, and also give you a warning.” “A warning?” “Yes, There was a change in leadership recently, and the new lord is gathering an army.” “Oh, oh crap, they are going to have to come through near here, aren’t they?” “Yes, the path does lead near here, so I suggest you build up your defenses, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few units decide to try and raid this place.” “Thank you for your warning.” Darius says as he nods “I’ll get to work. You can go in and look around, stay for supper if you’d like.” Darius then turns and starts to walk out into the forest.

Fracture: Tales of the Broken Lands
Fracture is a place where broken things are sent to become whole. The landscape is a chaotic amalgamation of fragmented worlds smashed together by the Logos. The Broken Lands are a perilous place filled with intrigue and hardship which suffocates the weak and rewards the strong. However, the denizens of Fracture are not left to the mercy of the land and its rulers. Each inhabitant is bestowed with the power of the Logos upon arrival giving them the ability to grow stronger by slaying monsters, fulfilling objectives, and collecting coveted Relics. Jack is a man down on his luck. Five years ago, he woke up in Fracture, a nexus of dying worlds formed by the Logos, with no memory of his past. Chased by the powerful, tormented by his failures, and scarred from loss, Jack has fallen into a downward spiral as he dodges his pursuers who seem to know more about him than he does himself. To hide, he takes up a false identity as Atlas, a freelance relic hunter hiding under the noses of those who hunt him. One day, a routine job takes a turn for the worse and spirals out of control forcing him to face his fears and survive the most dangerous mission of his life. I commissioned the artist, germancreative, for my cover art.
