"And your destiny, boy, is one of the most dangerous and exciting professions one can find on a merchant ship," Ron said euphorically as he stopped shaking him and turned him around so that they were both looking at the sunset on the horizon.
Lucas clearly couldn't enjoy the beautiful sunset on the sea of Venus because he was more worried about throwing up what little he had in his stomach.
But for his part, Ron was in awe of the red sky that the sun made as it set.
"Listen boy, the task that the captain gave you is clearly high risk, not everyone ends well after doing it, but believe me one can learn many things from this noble profession" Ron said as if remembering a very distant past
"And what is the profession?" Lucas asked after gathering some strength.
"Your destiny boy is to serve others with honor and effort, it is the path of the hero who sacrifices his soul and spirit for a greater cause so that all the comrades on board can survive on this journey..." Ron said with some mystery and moving the hands in an exaggerated way.
Lucas was a little excited, I don't know if it was because he wanted to vomit or his brain was beating after so much agitation, but it really seemed that he had an interesting profession
"You came from the depths of the sea as a castaway, but as Old Ana's first mate I congratulate you on becoming our ship's second cabin boy," Ron said, a little dazed as his eyes returned to normal.
"Ha ha ha Poor devil.....from church member to castaway...ha ha ha...and from castaway to our ship's cabin boy...ha ha ha... .. It goes from bad to worse .... ha, ha, ha" Said the helmsman while trying to contain his laughter, since his tummy was beginning to hurt from laughing so much.

"And what are my tasks as a cabin boy?" Lucas said, trying to look at the horizon to lose the dizziness.
"Basically cleaning up other people's shit…and listening to their stories when they're drunk" Ron said patting him on the back
"Ha, ha, ha" The Helmsman kept laughing
Lucas couldn't take it anymore, between his nerves because of his new responsibilities and the agitation of rum, his throat couldn't contain it anymore, and he began to vomit.
"Congrats kid!! .... You just got your first assignment...clean up this mess" Ron said as he backed away from the vomit.
"You have a rag and a bucket behind the stairs where you go to the cabins" Said the Helmsman who had already stopped laughing because of disgust
"When you finish cleaning, go talk to Ricardo, he will explain what to do and what are your responsibilities as a cabin boy more seriously…."
Listening to the conversation as he went down Ron, he added, "Surely that rat must be in the kitchen trying to steal some food before time"

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.

Ashes of the Primordial
With the upcoming shutdown of the servers for Ragnarok Games’ deep dive VRMMO, ‘Ashes of the Primordial’, the player log of those online for the final night was depressingly empty-looking. A revolutionary level of realism drove Ashes to the forefront of the games market, billions of players enjoying their journey to power and glory as an avatar of their own creation. The final enemy of the game-world defeated, the company announced, in line with their stance from launch, that they would be shutting down the game exactly six months after the defeat of Sutr, the final boss. Ammanas, the player responsible for Sutr's defeat, stays online until the end. However, as the countdown hits 0, the start-hub of his dive rig (what would typically greet a forced ejection from a game) was no where to be seen and instead darkness greets him as he fades into unconsciousness. Awakening to unfamiliar sights in an unfamiliar body, one which turns out to be a lot more familiar than he first thought, now he must figure out where, how, why and what to do with the new world he finds himself in. Author note: I don't own the cover, just something found through a google search. This is also my first story and the MC will basically be unimaginably OP yet never really utilising his full power. He just wants to find somewhere to fit in to the new world he finds himself in and despite both his nature as a loner and his interests he will find himself forming connections with the denizens of this new realm. Hope you enjoy

A man once lived in a modern world, surrounded by the tragedy of humans, he was despaired. He did his best to ignore it. Did his best to hide in the safety of his own circumstances. But eventually the tragedy reached him. And when it did... it left a broken man, who was tired of the world and it's circumstances. He took things into his own hands. He would change the world.

Now unbound by attatchments and responsibility, in a completely new world for him to explore, he would make sure his new life didn't end up like the last one. This fiction won't be updated regularly due to my own circumstances and while I will try to update it often, I won't always be able to. That being said I hope you enjoy this little work of mine. I'm not an experienced, and don't consider myself a good author in any way. But hopefully some people will enjoy this fiction like I do writing it, regardless of that.
