《Asher the Insane》Asher the Adventurer
Advertisement
I was on my way to the adventurers guild to sign up as any anime protagonist would.
I was already an adult so I couldn't go to school here anymore, so this was the best way to start my journey.
What kind of persona should I take?
I didn’t have a gun yet, so my options are kinda limited.
But I do have a katana, that's a good start.
Edgy lone wolf or cocky brat or even silent weirdo?
Should I just be another anime swordsman?
Feels a bit empty, doesn't it?
Well, what can you do?
After I earned some money I could change my equipment to fit another persona.
I also looked kinda bland, I didn’t have the typical anime character look.
“Hey Faye,” I said to her, the was walking next to me, “is there a way to change my appearance?”
“Generally there are no good ways to change a person's appearance permanently, there are a few ways to change it for a while. There are other ways but you would not like them.”
“Great, come back to me with that when we have some free time.”
I entered the guild house and walked over to the receptionist, an old dwarven man whose beard reached the floor.
“Excuse me, dwarf. I and my companion are looking to sign up.”
“Hold on, what do you mean by ‘Me and my companion’? I never said that I would join you in your profession.”
“What’s the matter, you're stuck with me until I die so why not just do the same thing I do.
We’ll just double our money so there’s no problem.”
“Hmpf, fine,” she puffed.
“What are your names?” The dwarf asked.
“I am the black swordsman, the alpha and the omega, The humanoid typhoon, Asher Burell and this is my lovely companion Lady Faye Paragon.”

“What are your classes?” he asked after an awkward pause.
“I am a first-grade warrior and mage and thief and warlock and cleric and assassin and priest and alchemist and farmer and cultivator…”
A minute later.
“…and that’s about it but I don’t know what Faye is good at.”
I looked at her and she spoke up.
“I am a mage.”
The dwarf scribbled for a while then handed us two necklaces.
“Here are your tag. Congrats, you're part of the guild now as glass rank members.”
“What are ranks, my good man?”
He exhaled loudly and said in one breath, “glass, bone, copper, iron, silver, gold, platinum, mithril, obsidian, diamond.”
Impressive.
"Let's go, Faye."
I looked at the quest board and browsed the notices.
I had no money and needed as much as I could get my hands on.
Now let's begin our ADVENTURES.

Virtuous Sons
The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Valor and Violence
Valor and Violence is a series of short stories following different, yet all equally colourful, characters set in the same world. Birth of a Legend, the first short, follows Captain Erskine Erwell, a newly promoted Captain in the Calandorian Royal Navy, charged with protecting his people from all who would do them harm. Great news for the Calandorian citizens, bad news for the Skjar reavers that ravage the shores in search of slaves. But when a small reaver fleet slips the net and escapes to the southern jungles of Marduk, Erwell must fight a war on two fronts; one against the raiders, and a far more difficult war against the hostile landscape. If he can't find allies in this strange land, he may end up being the one in need of saving. The first part of the second short story will be uploaded on Saturday, the 11th of June, following Ferez Ahud, an aspiring young battlemage charged with the unsavoury job of 'terminating' a rogue member of his college. But how this nobody of a mage became a fugitive remains a mystery, and when the answer is discovered, the tables are turned and the hunter becomes the prey. I'll be uploading chapters of more in-universe short stories each week or as close to, work permitting. Content Guidelines: course language and violence
