CHAPTER TEN
Davram and Slim Rowon dried out back in the tavern. They had no coin left for anything.
Simon came over.
"They cleaned me out," Slim Rowon said.
"The offer still stands," Simon said.
"We'll do it. A good dinner and more ale and we leave in the morning. Point us the way."
"Eat and drink on the house. Take a room up the stairs. I'll wake you at dawn."
"I'm coming as well," Marasoldig said, standing at the entrance, dripping from the rain.
"Why should we take you?" Slim Rowon asked.
"I could shove your own cheap sword up your asshole and break it off instead."
"Well. Welcome, then."
"I want a chicken and beer. And a room my own," Marasoldig said and sat at their table.
She tossed Slim Rowon's sword on the floor. He picked it up.
"You're a soldier?" Slim Rowon asked.
"I am a fighter," Marasoldig said.
"Where did you learn to fight?"
"Nowhere."
After that they sat in silence until her chicken and beer came. Slim Rowon was served mutton and Davram drank the ale. Marasoldig stared at Davram as she ate. She wiped chicken grease from her chin.
"Why did you help me?" she asked him.
"It did not seem kind, what he was doing."
"Kind?"
"I must be kind. Somei said to me that I must never forget."
She stared at him for awhile, chewing her food. Then she nodded and drank the entire mug of beer.
"I will follow you until I am dead," she said to him.
Slim Rowon froze with his mouth open.
"Are you my friend, then?" Davram asked.
She seemed to ponder this. Then she shook her head.

"We are no friends. I am to serve. These are the rules."
Davram blinked.
"What are the rules?" he asked.
"There are rules to the world which we must abide by."
Marasoldig stood up and took the pitcher of beer up to her room and shut the door.
"How fortune turns in a single day," Slim Rowon whispered, "Let's be wary of her."
"I trust her," Davram said with a smile.
"You trust too easily, my friend."
"Do I?"
"She's a stranger."
"You were a stranger."
"I am obviously trustworthy and honorable to any eye. It is a different case. Let us retire, Davram. Tomorrow will begin soon, and today has been long."
They found an empty room with two beds and soon were asleep.

Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.

The Puppy Project
"Give me my puppy!" I demanded, my eyes ablazed with fiery anger."Correction, it's not your puppy. It's our puppy," He smiled, but it was anything but sweet nor happy."You know what? Damn you! You're nothing but a cold, emotionless, and heartless bad boy!" I sneered, glaring at him fiercely.He chuckled at my words, taking a step closer to me. He slammed his hand unto the wall, trapping me, before leaning in close. "You got that right sweetheart but I think you got one thing wrong." He said, his eyes piercing straight into mine."And what is that?" I managed to asked, my throat seeming to get drier the more he looked at me."I'm neither one of those when I'm with you," and with those words, slammed his lips into mine.#1 in Strong-Female Character - 1/29/21#1 in Sarcasm - 2/4/21#2 in BadBoy - 2/13/21#3 in Teen Fiction - 2/13/21#1 in Mysterious - 3/4/21Copyrighted 2017.
