《Scarlet Blood》Book 1 Chapter 5
Advertisement
“YEAH!!!! Yeehaw! I am a fucking COWBOY!” Screaming that I start galloping on my horse wearing the new weird mask that I bought.
“Take that outlaw motherfuckers!” Saying that I throw stones at many things like chicken, birds etc. Wait, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK AM I DOING!? I must’ve gotten high while riding on the horse. Yes that must be it.
You know what. FUCK IT! I start galloping again.
.
.
Ah! There is a town! I head to the stables and open my mask keeping my horse there. I go into the town and go start socializing. I WILL DO IT! I WILL LEECH OF MONEY FROM OTHER PEOPLE!
Wait somehow the people seem disturbed and irritated. Did something happen? I go to a near peddler to ask if anything has happened.
“Well a stupid masked guy is throwing stones while riding on a horse. He is throwing stones at our livestock! THAT LUNATIC!”
Well, damn. I seem to be famous now. I better get out before anyone notices. I quickly return to the stables and take the horse. I start go towards Asteris City again.
.
.
SO. DAMN. HUNGRY!!!!!!!! I did not get to eat anywhere, damn it. It is about mid day and it is gonna take 3 more hours at least to reach my destination. This is how the undead must feel. Hunger, insatiable hunger.
I grit my teeth and endure the pain of hunger. Oh! There is a group fighting lions there. I’ll help them and ask for lion meat in exchange. Well something is better than nothing.
Wait, there is a cute girl there. She is using mana externally and in the form of fire! Before I went into the forest people was able to use mana internally like body strengthening and such. Let me try it. I try to draw a little mana to my hands and scream, “Firebolt! Firebolt!”

Well of course it doesn’t work. But it was worth trying.
I start going there. I wasn’t using mana for the past fights because I am…uh…….. you know? Dieting. Well to be honest I forgot how to use it. Well, did I even learn it? Damn. I must learn using magic. Can that Joker use magic, I wonder?
Well enough monologue, now I ready my sword and stab through a lions ribs. Another lion bites my sword and I kick it and draw my sword from the ribs. The lion is attacking me again and I take out my dagger and throw it at its face and distract it. No later than that I thrust my sword in the thorax of the lion and it dies.
The group is also doing well. They are focused on killing the lions. I killed 4 lions and hid their corpses behind a nearby tree. I go in front of the group and took out another dagger and dual wield it with my sword and start killing.
The group asks me, “Who are you?”
“I am Kirito, a wandering solo swordsman. HAHAHAHAHA!” Well there is my joker syndrome. I am wearing a mask btw. I look at the cute red haired girl and ask her, “How do you use it? Mana externally that is.” She looks at me like she looks at a newbie. What I saved you guys, you know?
“Well you feel the mana coming out from your body and you mix it with the element you are compatible with. The elements exist everywhere.” She answers.
“Oh” I did not understand shit.
“I am Stella by the way.” The Oh-So-Pro girl answers.
“Jack” Answers the guy who looks like the leader.
“Makoto” Answers the glum guy in the back.
“Well thank you for assisting us.” Said the leader.
“Don’t mention it. And thank you for the tip on magic. Miss Oh-So-p*Cough*Stella” A slip of tongue.

After that I slip away from the group. And take the lions corpses with me. With this I have secured my food of the rest of the journey, and I might not need to go the tavern for a week. A big money save.
I eat burned lion meat as lunch and start returning to the city again.
.
.
.
Ah! Finally I am back! Without wandering around any longer I head to the hotel and take a bath in my room.
Afterwards I go to sleep.
‘I will take rest for a few days!!!’ Or so I thought. The next day I received a request from the guild to visit the guildmaster.
DAMN IT. Feeling annoyed I head to the guild. I go at the guild and go at the reception at once. And suddenly someone calls me from behind.
“Miss me?” NOOOoooooOOOOOooooOOO! The JOKER!
“Ah, h-hello.” I greet
“I searched for you day and night, but you seem to be in fright. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Nice poetic joke, ISN’T IT!!??” That is a good poem though. HAHAHAHAHA. That man is influencing me in the bad way, or…is it? HAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA. I should stop the ‘J’ syndrome for now.
“H-Hahahahahaha. Yeah, v-very funny.” I agree with him.
“I know right. Well gotta go lad. Duty calls. Hehe.” Saying that he goes away.
W-well anyway I head towards the reception table and ask the receptionist politely, “The guild master has summoned me.”
“Oh Vlad-kun, right?” Why add a –kun with it?
“Yes.” I reply. The receptionist is quite hot it seems.
“Head to the waiting room and the master will call you.”
“Okay. However who is that Joker I see every time I come here.”
“That is joker-san and his name is a mystery. He joined the guild way before me. But he is very strong. He takes care of 5 star requests by himself.” She replied. Again why the –san?
“Oh thanks for the info. What is your name by the way?” I ask.
“Mia Farenheart.” Damn that’s a noble name. I wonder how my chances with her are.
After that I head to the waiting room and start waiting for the guild master. Ah there is another person waiting for the guild ma- WAIT ISN’T IT MISS OH-SO-PRO FROM YESTERDAY!? Is this fate or is this a sign?
“Hello Stella.” I greet her.
“Oh the Anue also summoned you?” She asks. Wait ‘Anue’? BIG SISTER! The guild master might unexpectedly hot. There are so many routes! I don’t know which to take.
It is like a famous phrase , ‘Water water everywhere, but not a drop of drink to spare.’
Well I start waiting from the guild master again.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
