《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 5: Meeting with the noble and royal
Advertisement
Well, looks like the big Watcher that displays my fight with the behemoth will still goes on recording and showing my activity... This feel like I am some kind of celebrity, but to the people of this worlds, it had become a norm for them and doesn't find it strange at all. Well, atleast those ten children will ease up a little bit as they can see where and what I am doing, so I should just bare it for now, plus I will live in this world from now on so it's better for me to quickly get used to it.
As the knight that came and picked me up being greet by other knight, i just realized that he must be some kind of a big shot, maybe atleast the captain or vice captain of a squad in my opinion, well this is my first time seeing a knight so it's a moving sight for me (but it's greatly sullied by the fact that he's rude! Seriously, if the knight is like that of a good knight from any manga or novel or TV series, I would sincerely jump over the moon right now but oh well... not everything will go according to what we want)
In the castle waiting room, I was told to took a bath and cleaned myself up for which I gracefully did so. Still, I can't help but to notice something that will leave with with a bad impression, those noble are all well excessively dressed with a fine clothes and jewelry, with the interior of the castle being decorated with nothing but expensive looking material while those ten are left to defend for themselves... Well, it does happen back on earth as well but hearing it and seeing it are two different thing, so much so that it's kind of cold brutal wake up slap for me, as I thought that, I refuse to wear the attires given to me, instead going with the clothing that the goddess provided me with
With that, they thought me some etiquette on how to greet the noble and royal alike, for which I did learn a few manner, and when they summon me to greet them, their eyes!
(Tch! Remind me of Uncle and Aunty eyes) [Ash]
Full of greediness and also thinking of how they are gonna exploit me, it's sickening (Fortunately the king and one of the princess doesn't have those kind of look), and when they asked me to greet myself, I do as I was told and greet only the king and the said Princess (you are supposed to greet the king then queen but I decided to just skip it as the queen eye just remind me of my aunty) and then stopped, doesn't even bother to greet the other, for which the noble become pissed off

"You fool! Know your manner"
One of the noble shout
"Oh please, I'm not a monkey to be reminded of some simple manner thing like don't shout in this hall. I just don't feel like greetings the other" [Ash]
"!" [Other]
Hearing my reply, they are stunt! The princess giggle a bit while the king show sign of amusement albeit he covered it very well that it might be my imagination
"So you really don't feel like greetings other?" [King]
"No" [Ash]
"Very well then, let just continue with why you are called here today" [King]
"But your highness!" [Noble]
"Can you tell me a little bit about yourself young man" [King]
"As you wish, your highness" [Ash]
Now that's badass, he simply ignore that noble, maybe I misjudged the king a bit, well there will always be a pure gem among the stone, and maybe it wasn't him that excessively decorate the castle, even so I don't think I should I ask this question for now
"I am Ash,ba traveller and remain so uptill today" [Ash]
"I see, don't you wish to become apply citizenship in my country?" [King]
"Hmmm..." [Ash]
"Something wrong?" [King]
"Sorry for my rudeness, but let be honest, you wanted to hired me to do something right?" [Ash]
"Why you, know your manner!" [Noble]
"That's right, I'm glad you are quick to catch" [King]
"It's a tempting offer but as such I'm afraid I have to decline it" [Ash]
"!" [Other]
This time, even the king and princess make a suprise face, well I can imagine why, it's hard to be accepted to work directly with the royalty and as such one would be a fool to reject that, well I am that fool
"I'll explain, first off I just don't feel like giving up my status as a traveller as it bring me such freedom, and secondly, I just don't feel like working in the same environment as those greedy and disgusting eye that I refused to greet just now" [Ash]
"Hoo..." [Princess]
"I see" [King]
(Huh... they agreed. Somehow I feel glad) [Ash]
"You rascal! You should be punished for insulting us!" [Prince]
"Knight! Seize him!" [Queen]
"Ohh... I wouldn't do that If I were you" [Ash]
As I said that, I bring out the behemoth corpse, which suprises the audience
"Opps, my bad, I "accidentally" activate my item box magic and let out the Behemoth, forgive me for my rudeness" [Ash]
"Hahahaha, My bad, I'm sorry for laughing" [Princess]

The Knight stop and the noble and other royal can't help but bite their tongue, the king even giggle in response
"It's alright, thing happen" [King]
"Just make sure you don't "accidentally" do it the next time" [Princess]
"Of course, thank you for your kindness your highness, and as such I am sorry for taking your precious time only to be told such bad news" [Ash]
As I said that, I don't think there's anything left for me to said, and it might be rude as only the king can dismissed the meeting but
"As such, I would love it if you allowed me to go back home, those greedy and disgusting eyes started to get under my skin" [Ash]
"Sure, but may I ask you something" [King]
"I'm more than happy to answer it" [Ash]
"You are a traveller, and as such I do believe you just enter this country for the first time based on the record at the gate. So where is this home you are staying?" [King]
"Well, I just found them, we still doesn't have any house to stayed but as such I believe those ten orphan and I can find ourselves a new home starting tomorrow" [Ash]
"I see, well give me a minute, father, can I?" [Princess]
"Yes, consider this a gift from me for saving the life of my people" [King]
With that, the princess sign a letter and stamp it with the royal sign in it
"Here you go, just go to the merchant guild and show them this, we will cover the expenses" [Ash]
"Thank you your highness, I do believe this will be a great start for the orphanage" [Ash]
"Orphanage?" [Princess]
(Huh... no impossible, a princess that doesn't know what is an orphanage... could it be this world doesn't have such concept?) [Ash]
"It's a home where the orphanage from different race and age can come and take shelter, instead of them fending off for theirselves out there, I will provide them with shelter, food and education until they grew up and be able to take care of theirselves" [Ash]
"I see, such a lovely concept! Do you want our help to start it?" [Princess]
"It's a great offer but as such I have to decline it as I don't want them to use it as an excuse to force me to do their job" [Ash]
"A pity, but you are right on that one, but this here is a gift and as such I can assure you that there will be no strings attached to it" [Princess]
"Then I would gladly take it" [Ash]
As I take the letter, I bid them farewell
"Thank you for giving me this chance, I'm honoured your highness King Estel and Princess Diana" [Ash]
As they give me the permission, I quickly leave the castle, I can hear the sound of the dissatisfied noble and knight alike as I leave the hall, well not that it matter much for me.
Once I exit the castle gate, the ten orphan wait there for me! In a hurry, I rushed towards them
"Is it alright for you to reject their offer?" [Fox girl]
Well, the watcher still show my face and as such any action that I make being observed
"Don't worry about it" [Ash]
I assured them about it and the look of relief started to appear, when suddenly
"What is it little girl?" [Ash]
"Brother Rean said that you might go and work for them, received a medal and will leave us so..." [Little girl]
I see, she made a medal out of stone and some withered flower just to persuade me, well nice job since it does
"Haha, well, how about you put those medal to my clothes" [Ash]
"REALLY!" [Little girl]
"Gladly" [Ash]
As I kneel down towards her eye level, her clumsy hand attach the medal to my cloth, and as such I make a promise
"From here on out, I will protect you guys, until the day you become an adult, and as such please call me Brother Ash" [Ash]
"Yes, Brother Ash!" [Little girl]
She gave me a firm hug, it's warm... when is the last time i received such warm hug, well the answer is obvious, a day before my parents die, but now the idea of receiving it from them really make my eyes teary
"Well, it's getting late, so let find ourselves a large inn for us all" [Ash]
"But the money!" [Rean]
The eldest boy, Rean protest
"Don't worry, didn't I said that I will take care of you guys from now on! Don't worry about the money!" [Ash]
"But..." [Rean]
"Ah ah, like I said, don't worry! In fact if you don't come now, you might get lost" [Ash]
I forcefully take the hand of the little girl and guided her
"Well hurry up!" [Ash]
As they look toward eachother, their feet started moving, and as such, we found ourselves a large inn with a master room in it

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
