《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!

8 177Project Looking Glass: Freelancer
When a game can set you up for life, a man with a talent for analysis gambles his future for a new lease on life. While traveling on the colony ship Pioneer Michael Wolfe and many others are logged into Project Looking Glass, a fully immersive Virtual Reality MMORPG set on the world they are traveling to. At the end of the journey all players will be permitted to keep the land they hold in the game as their homestead for the new colony. Michael Wolfe must put away the books of myth and folklore and push himself to his limit to achieve the start to his new life. Updates will come by chapter as I write them, so don't count on a solid release schedule (though I will try for a few chapters each week). Edit advice is always welcome, but please keep it polite. ((Cover is just a working cover until I can get some decent artwork)) Be advised that I am currently focusing on Hero's Call. Project Freelancer will continue/be rewritten in parts when I have finished the story arc I intend for Hero's Call.

8 133Re: Corruption
A man gets butchered by a person he considered a friend, when he finally tasted death, he wakes up, thinking it was all a hallucination.He relives the last moments of his life, how he was brutally murdered, for a reason, which is now unknown to him.He slowly loses more and more of his old memory, until he only vague remembers, that he was once a human.Follow him, as he is reborn, reincarnated, as one of the lowest living creatures. And how he is destined to rise again.---------------------------------------Before you think wrong of my choice of race for the mc, I want to inform you that although he starts as a Goblin, he will be nothing like Rou from Re:Monster (which is one of the main inspirations for this).---------------------------------------This is my first fiction, so I would love some feedback or your opinions in general. English isn't my main language either, so if you see any mistakes regarding grammar or anything else, please inform me. I don't plan on ending this fiction anytime soon, but due to school and work I may not have time to write chapters on a frequent base. Btw later on there may be Romance included, so I will put these into the categories, but don't expect anything sexual to happen in the first few chapters.
8 170Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
