What the F*ck!
Why would someone just promote someone to S rank that easily? i'm not complaining or anything, but at least explain it to me why? well, i guess sh*t happens.
But anyway... i'm S rank now! YES! but it would be weird that some fat guy just got promoted from G to S rank in just a week. i'll keep it a secret for now. and right after i came to that conclusion, i hear an announcement at the counter.
"Attention everyone, we have a new S rank in our guild." [Asila]
"Really!? who is it!?" [Adventurer]
"It's probably Mr. Shaun!" [Adventurer]
"Yeah! go Mr. Shaun!" [Adventurer]
"I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, but it's not Mr. Shaun." [Asila]
"Then who is it?" [Adventurer]
"His name is Henry Black." [Asila]
"Henry Black? who's that?" [Adventurer]
"Well, whoever he is, he's got to be pretty powerful to be recognized by the guild master." [Adventurer]
And that completely ruined my planned, damn. well, guess i better go back it is, sunset.
"Oh! Elizabeth-" [Henry]
Elizabeth is gone. really? right after we met again, you're gonna leave again? the comments and reviews are gonna the author for this.
I went back to the lobby of the Adventurer's guild, and no one said anything. just those weird stares. i at least hoped for someone to recognize me.
Anyways, i went back to Catherine's place. when i enter, no one was inside. huh. that's weird. where are they? i looked around, and found that Elgir and Rigil were out back, sparring.
"Put your back to it son!"
"I am!"
"Well, it's not enough!"
They're not using magic, just punches and kicks. i think they're testing out their human like bodies, that's good. i checked up on Catherine, and she's still in her bed. well, she's not unconscious anymore, she's just sleeping. well, time to go to bed. what? it's not like i have anymore things to do.

The next morning....
Good morning! it's a new day. and a new me, literally. since you guys wanted my fat to vanish, then let it be gone! of course i'm not going actually exercise, that'd be stupid for me to do when i have my best friend [Code] here.
setvalue (HenryBlack's fat){
fat = 80kg
} |
(Yes, i use the metric system.)
when i pressed enter, without warning, it felt like the weight on my shoulder became feathers. i feel light, really light.
anyways, i went downstairs, and saw the two of them on the floor again. there's literally a bed right f*cking there! use it for Chr*st sake.
"Oy, wake up." [Henry]
"Hmm...*Yawn*" [Elgir]
"I said wake up." [Henry]
"And who are you?" [Rigil]
"It's me." [Henry]
"Me who?" [Elgir]
"Stop being a smarta*s, it's Henry." [Henry]
"AH!" [Elgir]
They stood up straight, like they were in the army.
"Master, what happened?" [Rigil]
"I lost weight." [Henry]
"Yes, i can see that, but how did you get rid of it so fast?" [Rigil]
"Yeah, you were like a ball... no! like a boulder!" [Elgir]
"Yeah! like that!" [Rigil]
"....." [Henry]
"......." [Elgir]
"......." [Rigil]
"Anyways, go sit on that couch over there." [Henry]
"Yes sir." [Elgir & Rigil]
I went upstairs, and checked to see if Catherine was up.(You all know what's coming rignt?)
And surprise, surprise! the most cliche moment of all anime, seeing a girl changing.
She saw me, turned red, like any other girl, and she grabbed her sword.
I know this is the most cliche moment ever, but in my perspective, it's really great, but at the same time, utterly terrifying.
She chased me out of the room, changed, and then chased me again.

"You f*cking Pervert!" [Catherine]
"Hey! it was an accident! it's not like i intended to do it." [Henry]
"True, but you still saw me naked!" [Catherine]
After she tried to literally kill me, the sword broke, since you know, infinite defense baby.
"Who even are you!?" [Catherine]
"Hey! it's me, Henry!" [Henry]
"HA! don't try to fool me! Henry is fat!" [Catherine]
"I just lost weight." [Henry]
"Just lost weight? he was a f*cking ball! no! a boulder!" [Catherine]
"...." [Henry]
"......." [Catherine]
"Oh, it really is you." [Catherine]
"......." [Henry]
"I'm-i'm sorry for insulting you like that. i'll never do it again." [Catherine]
"......." [Henry]
"Just sit down." [Henry]
That was mean. like really mean. was i really that fat? did people see me as a big f*cking boulder? well, i'm annoyed. but not angry.
"Okay, everyone. i'm just here to say that i have been promoted to S Rank, that is all." [Henry]
"......." [Catherine]
"......." [Elgir]
"......."[Rigil]
"What?" [Henry]
"Are you f*cking kidding me!?" [Catherine]
"No, i'm not f*cking kidding you!" [Henry]
"It took me YEARS to get to S Rank!" [Catherine]
"And i was only been promoted last month!" [Catherine]
"Really?" [Henry]
"Yes, really!" [Catherine]
"Well, i'm S rank now. so deal with it." [Henry]
"I was." [Catherine]
"And.... are you done?" [Henry]
"Nope." [Catherine]
"Let it aaaaallllllll out then." [Henry]
"Elgir, Rigil, don't you think this is unfair?" [Catherine]
"Gobrisoft, Garilfkuol ras reliftum rek!" [Elgir & Rigil]
"What?" [Catherine]
"Gobrisoft Garilfkuol ras reliftum rek!!" [Elgir & Rigil]
"What!?" [Catherine]
"They're saying that master is amazing, and there is nothing surprising about that." [Henry]
"Oh." [Catherine]
"So are you done?" [Henry]
"...... yes." [Catherine]
"Then let's go then." [Henry]
"To where?" [Catherine]
"To the Dragon quest of course." [Henry]
"Wait, we're actually doing that!?" [Catherine]
"Of course." [Henry]
"Only 3 people has ever beaten that dragon before! and they weren't even able to kill it!" [Catherine]
"Wait, you said 'that', so there are specific dragons you have to kill?" [Henry]
"Yes! of course! it's not like they're slimes that spawn anywhere." [Catherine]
"But the quest said to kill 'a' dragon, not kill 'the' dragon. and the reward for it is only two gold." [Henry]
"two gold?" [Catherine]
"Yes, that's what it said." [Henry]
"No, i think it should have said 200 gold." [Catherine]
"Really?" [Henry]
"Maybe a smudge was on the quest paper." [Catherine]
"Well, 2 gold, or 200 gold, i don't really care." [Henry]
"you don't care for money?" [Catherine]
"Yes, the only thing i want is to have a pet dragon." [Henry]
"A pet dragon? are you insane?" [Catherine]
"Nope." [Henry]
"Then i pray for you to have a quick death." [Catherine]
"So, your not coming?" [Henry]
"Of course not!" [Catherine]
"Then, i say to you, farewell." [Henry]
I'm not really scared of dying, i already died before. plus it's not like i can die. you know, infinite health.
"Elgir, Rigil, let's go." [Henry]
"Yes!" [Elgir & Rigil]
And now i set of to find this dragon, and make it my pet.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow. Thank you for your time and art skills.

John Divine avoided home like it was riddled with disease, returning long enough each year to visit the few people he cared about and then leaving before the person he avoided was informed he was there. But when he returned home to find his brother, all that anonymity went out the window.

Thrust back into the spotlight and his mothers crosshairs, he will need to save his family, stand his ground, and find himself along the way. A list easy enough to accomplish, unless you happen to be a reincarnated grecian diety. Dawn was a hard worker. She worked for a local restaurant, helped her aunts run their store, and was a typical mid-twenties american girl. That is until she met a not so local anymore man by the name of John. Now shes solving ancient riddles, narrowly avoiding her own demise and discovering a whole new side to the town she calls home. With her whole world uprooted around her, all she can do is hang on.
