《Asher the Insane》Faye the Paragon
Advertisement
I hate this mortal.
I do not harbor ill feelings for mortals as a base but him…
He does not treat anyone with respect nor does he treat the name of the Goddess Lady Alexandra with enough.
No, he rather uses her name with contempt and associates himself freely with her, which is revolting.
I cannot imagine what kind of life he must have had in his previous life.
He is a half-wit and insane at other moments even before he lost his sanity to the system.
When he was a child, in this world, he kept himself from knowledge as best he could and separated himself from emotion to play out his little game of using his abilities.
Also, he does not have strong bonds with anyone from this world.
If it were not for Lady Alexandra I would have, too, gone insane as he already was.
Neither if it were not for her I would not have been faithful in my role as paragon for this man.
He keeps babbling about inane things such as he things he calls ‘Anime’ or ‘Weeb Stuff’ as if I know what this would mean.
Or he talks about people I had never heard of before.
No, I do not know any version of a person called Marada Uchiha and I do not care if there is anyone who is stronger than him.
I do not understand the things he complains about.
No, I don’t understand his hatred for ‘Gacha’ or why his dislike for ‘Isekai’ is ironic.
Often, when he thinks I am listening, he replaces words in his sentences with those of another language I cannot understand.
As a last complaint, I also do not understand why he yells out specific phrases when using abilities.
Slowly I can understand the pattern behind it.

Most often these are Haduken's, Magic missiles, Amaterasu's, Sharingans.
Most time-based powers are The World, though he says it bizarrely.
Always, it does not matter what has happened, it was according to this ‘keikaku’.
I cannot understand that man. I know this world as the Lady herself has given me its history but nothing from his world.
Sometimes I wished that Lady Alexandra had made him a mute in this life.
Mostly he collects new skills and abilities as he ventures on but because of the sheer amount of them that he has he does not use most.
Though all his mischief and annoyance caused a lot of people of this world irritation the latest events made even me question the decision that Lady Alexandra has made to give him life anew.
He attacked the armies of two kingdoms while stating that he is in association with the Goddess.
He freely stated his name then even attacked the kingdom of Landfor’s strongest warrior.
But just after a short fight, he did not even hurt him, he told me that we were leaving.
Since then he has been surpassingly introspective.
Toning down his usual antics.
I do hope he remains this way for a while longer before returning to his usual self.

8 173The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.
8 148A Savage's Journey
Jason Walker, a psych major, has been transported to another world. Quite frankly he isn't prepared. No experience in fighting, no idea how to control mana, and no proper clothes. Only his wits, which are in short supply, and his luck may see him through the day. This is my first novel ever. First ever time writing so I'll definitely be listening to any constructive criticism you guys have to offer. I'll even pay attention to straight up criticism if I can see some merit in it. I hope you all enjoy.
8 223The Scavenger of the Astral Plane
Bane Asteroth, a direct descendant of the wealthy and powerful Asteroth Family in the Agnus Empire renown for both their strong physiques and exceptional talent, was born blind and paraplegic. As such, he was labeled as a defect and discarded to a remote village in the outer area of the Grand Duchy along with a single maid as an act of mercy. However, he had an earth-shattering secret that no one knew about……..? Let's follow the adventure of Bane as he roams onto the road that leads everywhere, the space between everything, and the place you are when you aren't anywhere else, a journey within the Astral plane. .............. This is a progression fantasy where the main concept is about the growing protagonist focusing on his growth and finding new meaning in his new life without looking for trouble everywhere. He tends to stay out of trouble in his own little place although not always successful as he seems to attract trouble like a magnet. Note: 1-This is my first ever novel or published novel, and English is not my main language. I'm open to corrections and suggestions! The cover isn't mine and all the credits goes to the owner for this amazing image.
