《My Main Weapon .... Is A CLOAK?!?!》The Start of being a Guild Master
Advertisement
As I woke up, the first thing that I saw wasn’t Mist, but her maid as she gives me the heaviest stare ever
“Why were you sleeping in the princess’s room?” She questions me and threatening with a knife
“S-s-s-she offered me to sleep here with her”
“Are you sure” as she pulls the knife closer to my face
“Y-y-yes” I said timidly
“I better hope so, because if I found out that you were lying, I would skin you alive”
Those words shivered down my spine
Mist then woke up
“Hey, Athena, what is going on and what are you doing so close to Yasu” rubbing her eyes as she says this

I stare at her as I looked at her appearance changed completely, but wondering what her true stats are as the info that my demon eye gives me isn’t sufficient to get rid of concealment
“Note to self: Probably shouldn't mess with Athena”
“Oh nothing” replying joyfully as she conceals the knife behind her back and giving me the death stare telling me not to tell Mist what happened
“Oh ok” Mist still being half asleep as she walks to her dresser to change
At an instant, Athena then grabs me and tosses me outside of her room
A couple of minutes later she comes back out
“Do you want to cleanse yourself, too”
“Yeah”
As I got to her room to wash myself up, Athena passes whispering something to me
After cleaning myself, I went out of her room, Mist, still waiting greets me
“Good Morning”
“Morning”
“What are we going to do?”

“We are going to have breakfast, of course, you think I am going to leave you hungry?”
“No…” I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed
Making our way to the dining room, I smelt the aroma of the breakfast that we were going to have
The food was so luxurious, I felt guilty eating it as some of the rich tastes filled my mouth, giving me this nostalgic feeling as I have probably experienced back in my past but at the same time not.
After I had my fill I asked her
“What is there that we can do to get money”
“There are many ways”
“One is through doing work from guilds such as adventuring”
“The other one is to do simple work or labor”
“I would rather do work from guilds”
“Alright then, you should go to one of the many guilds in this kingdom”
“ The guilds community has 3 parts, which consists of science, magic, and weapons”
“Science is one of the harder to get in ones as there are very little people that know the science, but would usually consider making more advanced objects such as bombs”
“Magic is the 2nd hardest but has many different branches of work such as alchemy and magic usage for everyone”
“Lastly is weapons, which is the easiest among the 3 as you just need combat experience to get it. The weapons type guild are those who use swords, bows, lances as they go-to item”
“Even though all 3 guilds are different they all work together”
“One of the popular guilds that invest in all 3 parts is the Scarlet Guild”
“Though it is the most popular their tests to get in are quite difficult regardless of what part you want to major”
“Then what are the other guilds that I can easily get in”

“Unfortunately since Scarlet Guild is in this kingdom, there is no point for other guilds to form and compete as they would always get disband due to Scarlet Guild’s fame”
“Ohh” as I have lost all hope until I had an idea
“What if I made a guild?”
“Are you sure, I mean did you even hear what I just said about other guilds being disbanded”
“I don’t care, maybe if I make a guild where I would end up being as popular as Scarlet Guild and maybe I may be able to recognized as not just the man with a cloak, but the Guildmaster of the most popular guild ever”
“Man, thinking about that makes me feel good”
“Uhh, maybe it is too early for that”
“Ehh, how come”
“Because you must be an SSS-ranked adventurer as well as have the royalty to be a guild master”
“WHAT!!! Are you fucking kidding with me”
Just as I said that Athena came storming it with a knife and then pulling my tongue, she was about to cut it off
“How dare you speak bad things in front of the princess, as a punishment I must cut off your tongue”
“Euhhhh, Euhhh” [Wait, Wait]
“Athena stop it!”
Athena’s violent intent then instant disappear
“As you wish, princess”
“You are lucky that she was here or you would have died”
“Better hope I don’t catch you next time”
And with that, she took her leave
“I’m very sorry”
“It is ok, Yasu”
“Ok, then how am I going to be a guild master if I am not even an adventurer nor part of royalty”
“You solve all of this by getting fame to the point where the Mother and Father would recognize you then grant you a title of royalty as well as joining the Scarlet Guild”
“So you’re saying that I have to join the guild that I am trying to beat”
“Yup” Smiling as she said so
“Are you… nevermind”
“Let’s go”
“Oh I can’t leave the castle as I am the princess of this kingdom”
“If I were to leave Mother and Father would scold me if I stepped outside the castle”
“Then how did you get these stats”
“Stats?”
“Nevermind”
“I will take my leave then I will be back soon once I get my things done”
"Ok then, see you later bye" Mist started waving goodbye
Leaving the castle I start making me to the guild, but the funny thing is I didn’t know the way
“Man, I should I have asked her, well it’s too late now, might as well start finding it”
Walking around for a minute, I realized I was walking after than my usual speed as it was probably from the increased agility from my Wanderer ability
After a couple of minutes, I have found the guild, which surprisingly wasn’t far from the castle
Upon opening the guild’s door I was shocked to see what I just saw

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
