《Life of David》CHAPTER 7: The Fifth Year
Advertisement
In a castle, on a hill, there was a king. The castle was surrounded by the ruins of what use to be the seat of a great empire. The king sat on a golden throne in the main tower surrounded by his Companions, and at his feet where the the leaders of the empire bowing to him. The king then spoke, and simultaneously all the heads of the leaders fell from there bodies and 10 figures filed into the room and removed the heads covering the bodies with a black substance recreated from there mouths, and the bodies where no more. The king then thought back on the past 5 years of gathering notoriety and making the army that now served as his main fighting and police force.

“David!” showed one of the prisoners he was in the midst of defending from the bandits that captured them, tying to warn him of the incoming blade that aimed to separate his head from his shoulders. With speed defied what should be possible of a human, David spun and shattered the incoming blade with his own, going on to slice the attacker in half. Making short work of the others in a similar manner of extreme power he freed the prisoners escorting them back to the city. Seeing his work was done David made his way to the guild in order to turn in the quest. opening the front doors, he heard groans and laughter from the other adventurers who started betting how long it would take to complete all the quests on the board where they took jobs. It took only 3 days to turn in all 500 quests some of witch took months to get to with the fastest of steeds. David knew he could do it in a day tops but he wanted to make there game interesting, making his way to the desk he placed the last paper on a stack a foot tall and telling the elf stating there to put the funds in his account. There was much bickering over money the next hour by the other adventurers, much to the amusement of David who sat taking a break on one of the many seats in the common area. The game was played once a month by David who found it depressing that this would be over in a year once he took the empire as his own. He would want to take time off in the future and new he would be spending his time questing as an adventurer. David still remembered when the game was invented.

As David thought about what his first quest would be a party of adventurers where encouraging the newest of there party to go and talk him. "Common man! go talk to him." to witch the young man then said "Fine fine, sense you won't ever shut up about it if I don't." the young man then made his way towards David and asked "Sir would you like help finding a suitable quest?"
"Yes, in fact. I would. Need help finding a quest of suitable difficulty, these all seem to easy."
"Really? well that is to be expected from the only X rank. Well if your so skilled why don't you just take all of them at the same time?"
"Good Idea!"
"What really?" the boy only meant it as a joke but regained his composer as his fends made there way over as they had been listing in on there conversation "Well sir we couldn't help but overhear you, and we would like it if you let us time you?"
"Do as you will"
"Thank you sir! EVERYONE! The X rank is going to take all the quests who wants to bet on how long it will take him?" and thus the game began.

The King then thought on the Army he made over the corse of a week.
____________________
"I have decided that I will make an army that will act as the police and fighting force. My empire will span universes and dementions so we will need to keep everything in check." Explained David to his companions. "Thus I release you to do as you wish for a time, whale I make the army." They all agreed that he would need privacy. And thus died the deeds that gave them there titles, but that is for another time. David then willed himself to his realm that was stored in his ring. The realm would have another section that was to be used as a machine with the purpice of mass producing weapons, armor, and food, everything an army of countless soldiers would need, this took half of the section the other would be a facility that would create his soldiers. But first he had to create the first of the creatures that made his future army. They where based off of the Minotaur, a bulls head and hooves with a mans torso and arms, but these creatures where different as they were equipped with impenetrable armor, Plasma blades, Plasma cannons hidden in a robotic left arm, grenades that destroyed matter within a 5 meeter radius, scanners of all sorts, missiles, and black saliva that is so acidic it could eat through almost anything helping them eat there enemies. He made different units that where different sizes one the side of a tank that welds a massive plasma cannon that turned into arms and missile launchers. Thousands, Millions, Billions of these creatures where made so many intact that David had to make another section that held nothing but one massive building that when hundreds of floors high and Billions of floors underground where all the beasts where to be stored. Hear they would never tier and never hunger, until they where relived unto the battle field.

Then there was the battle he had just won, an uninteresting one to say the least.
____________________
"I'm sending each of you with a force of 10,000 to take the main cities and then report back to be hear." The companions agreed and set off whale David sent his force of 10,000 beasts to take the main city. all he needed to do was show that he was the one calling the shots and made his way to the throne room where he sat and waited for his companions and the beasts to move all the citizens to a camp he set up. As David waited he smiled thinking of the many future takeovers he would make come to fruition, all starting with this one.

The Luckless Mage of Greidwhen Academy
A TOURNAMENT OF SORCERERS… AND THE MISFIT WHO ENTERED IT. Ever since she was a little girl, Lucy Hardtvelt has wanted to attend the same academy of magic her mother had graduated from, as well as compete in the same, famous Sorcerers Tournament hosted there every year. And finally, after having her application accepted, Lucy is jubilant to begin her first year at the prestigious Greidwhen Academy for Mages. Unfortunately, Lucy soon finds that, unlike her mother, she herself has little to no aptitude in the magical arts—struggling to keep even the most basic of spells from blowing up in her face. Now, having been given a harsh dose of reality, Lucy must find out if she has what it takes not only to survive at Greidwhen, but also the Sorcerer’s Tournament and its one-thousand contestants where the winner will be given the title of Champion Sorcerer, as well as the right to challenge the Celestial Mages—who are known to have been defeated only a handful of times…

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
