"And that is why you are stripped of your profession, and hereby banished from the Enchanter's Guild, Vera." Proclaimed Erratus.
One Week Earlier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vera had finally started classes at the Enchanter's Guild, and was learning everything very quickly. She was so glad that she chose to be an enchanter over a normal mage. It was truly exciting every time she imbued new properties into an item. There were, however, three rules in the guild.
Never try to enchant a living being.
Never use a forbidden(Unholy) enchantment.
Never steal from the guild.
Never the less, these would not be broken by Vera. She saw herself as a good girl. That was, however, until the class had lessons on how powerful the forbidden enchantments were, and why they were banned.
Upon hearing the information, Vera headed straight to the library one night. She had busted the lock by making a small blade with mana on her index finger, and cut through it. She proceeded to do the same thing on the forbidden section's lock. Upon entering, she took a couple of books on the forbidden enchantments...
Upon leaving, she re-attached the locks with a tiny bit of flame magic. The next day after classes she read the notes, which pertained to permanently berserk-ing living creatures. After hiding in a shaded section of the court yard, she pulled out a rat and spoke softly, "Enchant." As she finished, the rat turned a slight red, and it's fur grew about one inch longer. Its fangs become longer and its eyes went bloodshot.
The rat then climbed a tree at a ludicrous speed and started murdering a whole family of birds.
"Oh shi..." Exclaimed Vera, as she shot a small ball of fire at the rat, which then died.
As she was marveling at her handiwork, she was forcefully pushed to the ground and mana-cuffed.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Shouted Vera.
She was then thrown in a dungeon for five days, to await trial.
When the day of the trial came, she stood before Erratus, who said:
"Vera, you have broken my heart. The library was guarded with observation magic, and we have seen the acts you committed. After further inspection of the rat we found when you were arrested, we have also confirmed you have enchanted the living being...using forbidden enchantments no less. You had such great potential, why would you do this?" Said Erratus.
"It seemed interesting..." Said Vera softly...
"INTERESTING? YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW WICKED THE DARK POWERS ARE...WE HAVE THREE RULES, AND YOU HAVE BROKEN THEM ALL." Bellowed Erratus.
He then regained his composure.
"You have broken all of our rules, And that is why you are stripped of your profession, and hereby banished from the Enchanter's Guild, Vera."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a whole day, Vera sat outside in the rain crying. Until finally, she was approached by a shifty looking old woman.
The old woman looked at her and said, "Don't dwell on it too hard dear. Those close-minded people simply do not understand the glory of the lost arts."
Vera was confused, how did this woman know about her current state of affairs?
"Don't worry about that either, dear...I simply come with a proposition." Said the woman.
"Wha...could this woman read minds?" Thought Vera.
"Slightly dear, it comes with age. Now then, I know the path you walk, and it is not easy. I come to offer my help, as someone who also tried to attain power and was rejected by society, will you hear my offer?" Said the woman.
Vera could only nod, still wiping her tears.

"Excellent, my name is Tessa, and I shall reforge you anew. If you will allow me. Tee hee hee." Chuckled the old lady with a malicious smile.

8 301Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?
8 558Cry of the Mer Extras
A collection of Cry of the Mer shorts and extras. This will mostly be a series of scenes from Luna's point of view. Things from her past and scenes that have already happened, but from the different perspectives. It may also include the same for other characters such as a look into the pasts of Katie and Riley as well. Basically all the world building stuff there isnt time for in the main plot. This is mostly what I'll be writing on my phone on my breaks at work to keep readers having some content as I cannot work on Heart of a Mer while there. Most of you know the situation already, so this is my compromise for less main content. I do take requests if there's something specific you want to see.
