《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.

RECALCITRANCE
{COMPLETED} Alaina wishes to be more than a mere icon for her kingdom, believing a princess should be much more than a fragile lady in a dress. The king wants no more than for her to marry in order to succeed the throne, but she has other things in mind -- such as her thirst for freedom and adventure. But when one of the neighbouring kingdoms demands that it's time for a change in the land of Asteria, her entire kingdom is shaken. To worsen the situation, the king is somehow caving in to the demands irrationally. Stubbornly refusing to resign herself to the kingdom's seemingly inevitable fate, she is forced to leave her home in search for the root of the problems. Along with people of diverse backgrounds she comes to trust and a hotheaded boy with pyrokinesis named Kai, Alaina joins an uprising rebellion against the forming empire. But the rebellion is only the beginning of the end, for the end result isn't as perfect as how they have proudly perceived and imagined it to be - some sacrifices are destined to be made. *****{ Book 1 of The Recalcitrance Trilogy }* IMPORTANT! *No copyright infringement intended on the art of the cover.Art Credits: Alexandra V.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
