There was young boy with pale white skin and illustrious black hair with beautiful black eyes swing a short sword with all his strength in practice. Before a young beauty with beautiful glossy brown hair and eyes as blue as the great sea interrupts him by calling out.
"Raven It's Lunch time".
15 had years passed.In this past 15 years,with Stan and Maria taking care of raven, he had grown steadily and could now understand the reality of the place he had been reincarnated in. The people here in the village he lived was very small but peaceful, even knowing that that he still trained, he already had experience in swordsmanship from his past life experiences, with that he only needed to train his body to get stronger.
This village was called Morde was part of the kingdom of Kadrum. Kadrum is located in the continent of Dhados and The kingdom of the kandrum is the most influential one in the continent. Its capital Kao is the centre of continent and where most of the important people, warriors and merchants meet.
Raven was eating his lunch with Yaira sat next to him,they had grown very fond of each other they slept in the same room,they had a very good relationship, they understood each other very well. his lunch was a sandwich with lettuce and cooked chicken fillet.
"How is lunch?"
"I made it today how is it!?"Yaira said with an expectant look on her face.
"Good like always" Raven replied.
"Thank you" Yaira replied shyly while twirling around with her fingers.
Finishing his lunch Raven stood up.
"Well now lets run for a bit Yaira" raven said as he offered her a hand.
"You never stop do you" she answers as she takes my hand and smiles.

while taking a short run through the outskirts of the village there is small lake that people sometimes come fishing.The lake at sunset the clear water reflects a beautiful sight to behold and radiates a feeling that soothes you. Raven and Yaira watch that scenery during their daily exercise run.
Raven stops to admire the scene
"Beautiful isn’t it Yaira?"
"Yes it is Raven."
With that they both run home.
before going to sleep Raven ponders I will have to leave this place otherwise i won't be able to see this world I been reborn into.
Yaira noticing his worried face asks
"What are thinking of?"
"Nothing let’s just sleep."
"If you say so" Yaira replies with subtle hint of doubt
Another peaceful day passes by.
Raven would wake up just before dawn to train,he felt he needed more strength than ever before to survive in this world, he didn't want to die like he did on his past life keeping that in mind he strived to become the strongest he could become. The results of the training were still to be tested.
with the scorching sun high up on the sky raven was finishing his training before lunch.
Yaira trained with Raven until just before lunch she would go home and fix a meal for them,
"Lunch is here Raven". Yaira shouted to raven while holding up two sandwiches
"Yay i am finished for today" Raven said while taking his sandwich
They sat down on the shade of an big old tree with the warm breeze blowing,it was the perfect place for eating lunch with the peaceful mood, Raven and Yaira took a second to admire the old tree before starting to eat.
Yaira and Raven were eating wholeheartedly the sandwiches that where there disappeared in a flash.

"Are we going home already?" Yaira says while still chewing
"No I am going somewhere else first you can go home" Raven says in a serious tone
"W-where..?"
"I am going deep in the forest to test my strength."
"Isn’t that place dangerous, mother said we should stay always from there."
"That why i am going there."
"w-what if we get hurt?" she mumbled.
"Well then you can stay" Raven replied as he walked away.
"I WILL GO DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND!" she yelled and ran to catch up to him.
Entering the forest it was a dense forest almost no light went through and reached to the floor.
The atmosphere in the forest gave a eery feeling aside from the leaves rustling there was no sound.
Raven knew this place was dangerous so he was at full alert.
"Yaira stay close to me!"
"O-okay" she uttered
that when it they saw it was a huge black bear with it razor sharp claws and red eyes glaring at them.

A Fractal Divide
Lesivar is a city in ascendancy. With recent innovations in magical crafting, the common people are experiencing a boom in comfort and wealth. The nobility, long used to being the stewards of knowledge and power, struggle to adapt to the new world in which they find themselves. A precarious balance has been maintained throughout, but forces stir beneath the surface threatening to send the city spiraling into chaos. This is my first attempt at writing anything longer than a short story, and I welcome any feedback or corrections. I'm posting this as I write, with each chapter going live upon completion. My current pace is about a chapter a day, which I expect to take my through the end of November. From there, I'm shooting for a chapter every two-three days until the book is completed, along with an editing pass of what is already up. I'm planning on three POV characters with unique insight into the story as it unfolds. Each chapter will contain only one POV. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The young, intelligent woman is accompanied by the wise and careful Paladin Lissa, the young, experienced and reclusive Knight Trista and the two over-eager and talented Squires Mira and Mina as she sets forth on a grand adventure, only to quickly run into what seems to be a deep conspiracy, stretching back to one enigmatic person.

Sanguilia, Guide extraordinaire and strange woman all around, is accompanying a trade caravan when disaster strikes. At first glance she is no more than a Guide, which is no lowborn title itself, as it represents individuals who are capable of traversing the unknown wilds and are well versed in the languages of the land and its inhabitants. As she enters a city on her way home, a new, massive problem rears its head. Accompanied by a bar wench, who is far more than she seems, the mercenary Orc, Daenan and his tiny, flying companion, Faen, all with their own plans and agendas, they seek to tackle a monster in the shape of a man who controls the city. In the depths of the woods, far away from what humanity sees as the centre of civilisation, the lone, independent city of Lanas prepares itself for war, for the Kingdom of Maldora has set its eyes on them and their wealth. A cry for help goes out and bonds long faded into obscurity are renewed. And the world quakes when their calls are answered. Melena, once a slave girl, resides happily in the Mansion and is slowly getting used to her new life, where equality seems to rule. Until a noble's son decides that her very attractive body is something he should own. When the enigmatic master of the Mansion decides to personally deal with the rulebreaker, her world is turned upside down as she stumbles upon ancient mysteries that threaten to overwhelm her. Luckily she finds support in her once-liberator, now turned friend, the happy-go-lucky Evon, who carefully hides his past, the ghost-like Khrast, Kreya and many others. It is a tale of adventure, of lies and deceit, of love lost and found, of bravery and cowardice and where every one of our heroes and villains alike strive to find the answer to the same question: who is the being behind the Mansion of the Woods?
