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.

Silver Fox and the Western Hero
Author's Note. This is book 7! Please feel free to hop on and enjoy! If you find you like my writing style, I hope you'll check out the first 6 books, all available to read on Kindle Unlimited, link below!) Alex was dying, and all the millions his father had left him meant nothing. The life he had been so eager to embrace, to do the memory of his father proud, would soon come to an end. Cancer. That ugly, terrible word. He had tried to be strong for his mother, even when the treatments left him violently ill, his body wracked with pain, his friends and even his girlfriend leaving him almost as fast as his once impressive physique wasted to nothing under the ravages of his illness. And just when he thought all hope was dead, a couple discrete referals placed by high-powered friends of his family got him an exclusive spot at the most sophisticated cryonic facility in the world. He didn't know if there was such a thing as an afterlife, but part of the package included uploading a copy of his cortex into a digital universe filled countless worlds to explore, where he could embrace whatever class or profession he could dream of. All of which sounded hell of a lot better than the miserable death waiting for him in the real world. In the end, he signed the paperwork, putting his pathetic flickering life in the hands of potential quacks and charlatans. After all, with death just days away, what did he have to lose? Even if he could never be successfully revived, he could at least adventure his heart out. (Authors Note: Books 1-6 are now live on Amazon and here is a link if you wanted to check it out! And I will continue to post chapters to Book 6 here first, until that tale is told! I hope you enjoy! And if you wanted to help support my work by checking out book 1 on Amazon, I would be extremely grateful!)

Forsaken Soul
Morgan is just an average teen or at least he was. He is now in a foreign world where magic is real, mythical beasts roam, and monsters hunt. Labeled as a heretic he was hunted down by the Holy Church and left to die. On his last breath he is reborn as a lich. An undead mage who can summon powerful minions of darkness. Fueled by revenge, bloodlust and the internal darkness of his soul, watch as morgan struggles in a world where he is now the monster and grows in power by consuming the souls of his victims. Will he become a evil creature of massacre? Is there any shred of his humanity left? Will he ever make it back home? ONLY TIME CAN TELL... Note from author: This story will develop slowly. He isn't some chosen person or special in any ways. Not even very lucky, powerful or smart. Just a regular guy in a world he doesn't understand. The novel will cover his journey, even some of the boring and adventureless parts. I want him to seem real. I will however used time skips for long-winded and stagnant periods followed by summaries of what occurred.
