《Kitsune in Rockford》kit chapter 1.1: reasons for escape
Advertisement
Thankyou everyone for commenting. This chapter goes out to Shadowpire. After I posted my poll he commented immediately this got me so happy that I turned around got back on the computer and wrote out this chapter. After his comment i also looked back and noticed some others in earlier chapters (Blazingfrost, Derp, Filthyleacher and all others) thanks! I just wanted to know that someone was reading my story and that writing this and posting it here wasn't worthless, Thankyou all even those who didn't post its nice to know I'm not shareing for nothing (because i was going to write a small version of this anyways I was only debating on putting it into RR because it takes more effort from me to proofread my work.) So thankyou, I'll try to bring out a few more chapters this week
================================================================================================
Today is the day. The day for me to escape! There have been multiple things pushing me to this point, but the final straw is that I’m no longer treated as a man. Instead, I am treated as a commodity. Last month mom engaged me to be married.
My thoughts on the engagement were this ‘What in Gaia?’ and do you know why my thoughts were so confused I couldn’t even for them properly? She engaged me to the man hater Ashlie. Oh and Ashlie her “reforms” have been getting worse and worse. I think it’s the most negative case of false promises that will lead to a downtrodden population that I have ever seen. In both my life’s!
She promises freedom by promising to give us more rules and reforms, how does that even work. Grrr anyways don’t talk politics it just gets you into trouble. The last time I did with mom I got so mad that I dumped itchy sand in her ceremonial robes as revenge. She didn’t find out until the next council meeting. Imagine 4 hours of sitting in itchy robes but having to keep a complete poker face because you are in a high profile meeting. She came home….upset, and damp from the sheer amount of sweeting she did as she restrained herself. I got the scolding of a life time and she tried to set my tail on fire but it was worth it entirely. Rude women!

The worst part of this engagement deal is I have already told mom not to, “help” me. That I will get married in time but noooo. When the Lenex clan heard that I am able to cast simple spells more proficiently than any other male in the town. They decided I am the perfect brood mare and immediately offered the tutoring of their highest mages for my little sister as a gift if in exchange I was to be ‘given’.
For mom it’s a win win she allies with a powerful opponent and secures multiple teachers for her favorite powerful daughter. Teaching her daughter a wide range of spells and learning from some of the best wizards in the community (wizards are a form of mage that focuses more on knowledge then ability. You can always find them in their personal library. They are the greatest minds on spell theory and you cannot become a part of the group until you submit your own unproven but viable magic theory to the collective mass)
mom is hoping that learning spell work will help her to promote herself to great heights in kitsune politics. Not to mention growing closer to the current leading competitor for head of the council, Ashlie.
But where does that leave me? Hung out to dry I tell you. Having heard the talks between the matriarchs of our family’s I know that I won’t even get any action out of this deal. For the next 50 years they (the Lenex) simply plan on having me live within the confines of their home, learning their family rules… a gilded cage and I won’t stand for it.
I guess I should tell you what lead to my outrage as all of this is something a regular male kitsune would consider an average life… I. hmmm how to explain this. I am. Was. Reborn. Oh yeah! There’s the word I am a reincarnated fox! Human! Um I was a human in my past life and am now re-incarnated into a kitsune. That’s what the dreams have been telling me all these years.

It wasn’t until I was twenty or so until I started figuring it out though. I’ve always had these vivid dreams that I could remember clearly afterword’s no matter what. When I was twenty I noticed that I moved around and talked in those dreams. At first I thought it was a window into someone else’s life. That is until I talked to mom and realized that some of those things are not of this world. So I concluded there from another.
Anyways long story short I’m the re-incarnate of a bobby jones. No just kidding I don’t remember my name funnily enough that’s the only thing I don’t remember names… anyways I died at 23 I was going to collage walking there and got hit by a truck. NOT! Bet I fooled ya there it always a truck. Except in my case I wasn’t maybe that’s why I got my memories back late or something.
Anyways I was crossing a street between the school and the brick fence for the FBI building. I saw a truck flip on its side and start rolling towards me. Luckily I was paying attention and not looking at my phone at the time and I dodged the truck and it stopped. The end of its roll tipping the truck 4 feet past where I was standing. My only thoughts where ‘sigh, “Holy crap that was close”.’ Then I saw a something flipping and got hit in the head and died.
I found out after multiple dreams nightmares of the event later. It was a motorcycle that hit me one of the fast ones once I started paying attention to the dream and not screaming I saw it happen. The motorcyclist must have punched the gas to see how fast his bike could go. Then come around a curve and saw the stopped truck blocking traffic. Cuz I watched as he slammed his brakes skidding the lost control of the bike. He bailed off the bike backwards so it wouldn’t run him over but the bike kept sliding.
Eventually it hit the sidewalk curb and starting flipping through the air towards the FBI (Brick!) fence and guess what was between those two things? Me. I died on impact with the bike because I never did see the damage it did to the fence. I’ve always wondered if the FBI covered it up or if the news made it a story? Anyways that was how I died and now I’m here.
What this leads me to is that I am a re-incarnated man from a first world country and I believe that man should have rights. I was proud of myself in my past life and I guess that has slowly leaked into this one. I won’t stand for myself being a slave. So I am going to leave. Tonight!

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.

Dispatches from the Inter-galactic
Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space faring species generally described as consentients. This series is set in a galaxy which take place in a similar but not entirely unlike the galaxy in which my series Up in Space takes place While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as; The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimensional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations; The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species; and Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients.
