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.

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'

Gangs From Another World
This story takes place in a world like our own where magic and high technology rule the day. This particular world is ruled by a feline race. The race is divided up into 12 clans (like Greek city-states), with their own territories, solar systems and planets. These 12 clans answer to the original Home World for external disputes, negations, emergencies or to direct military operations only. Within the time-frame of this story, a new Emperor has recently ascended the throne, approximately a year has past since the ascension. He was the previous ruler of the Clan Ya-kith-Thar or Clan founding #3, world of the artisan cats. Unfortunately, not all residents have benefited from technological wonders. The forgotten, who were not lucky enough to be Royal born or middle class and above, experience a hard life, like those of the colonial worlds. The poorer denizens see the technological marvels from their windows, and yet experience little of it. This is the story of one such group living in the ghetto of the Capital city, written by Horus Blackburn, leader of the North-Central Gang.
