《A Fool's Wish》Chapter 1 Page 9 - Ladybug

Akilah took a deep breath and got up from her sitting position 'Damn it Akilah, what have you gotten yourself into!?!' she thought.
However she stopped herself from spiraling down, she clenched her fists and took a deep breath 'It's okay, it's okay. It is going to be okay. I just need to figure this out'. She stood up straight, arched her back to give off the image that she was confident in her actions; when in reality she had no idea what she was doing.
“Fun part? What do you mean?” she asked.
“Yes the trial phase is over, you passed, now for the negotiation part of our deal” X answered smugly “We are going to be writing your lifelong contract regarding your position as my henchman, and your reward.”
“Okay...So where do we start with the henchman thingy that you've been talking so eagerly about?”
“Well basically you will be working for me and taking care of 'things' for me.”
Akilah knew something was off. X was being way too vague about the work description. She needed to know more.
“What sort of ‘things’?”
“Oh all sorts of things, running errands, handling issues that occur, defending me against people that tarnish my good name.”
“I don't even know your name, how am I supposed to defend it..?”
A little chuckle could be heard from him which made Akilah feel embarrassed about her question 'Did I say something dumb?'.
“That is not what that meant, and besides it's not important, you do not need to know my na-“
“I think that it is, you want me to help you out and work for you without me even knowing your name. I mean-”
“What did we say about interrupting me while I'm talking Akilah.”

His words were harsh but he did not sound angry when he said them, not like last time.
“But you're not even explaining things properly” Akilah knew that it was a risky thing to say but she had decided to say it anyways 'What do I have to lose, anyways'.
“It seems you have forgotten about our little chat earlier; shall I remind you?”
Akilah could feel the ground beneath her shaking again 'Oh no I'm so stupid!'. Akilah had to act fast before history repeated itself. She could feel debris falling on her. Akilah covered her head with her hands, closed her eyes hoped for the best, and shouted.
“Okay, okay I get it! I’m sorry!” Then the shaking stopped 'Wait did that work?' Akilah thought.
“Fine, then let us go back to the contract.”
'THAT'S ALL IT TOOK!?!' Akilah thought 'He is as emotionally unsuitable as a pregnant lady'.
“But before that what should I call you by, believe it or not knowing your name would make things easier.”
“Are you still on that? It really doesn’t matter, you can call me whatever you want.”
'Doesn't matter huh, okay then' she thought and with a smirk she replied, “Okay but you can't get mad about it or want me to change it.”
“I won’t lose my temper over such insignificant things” X said and huffed.
'D-Did he forget what just happened??' Akilah thought.
“Now shall we continue?”
“Okay then Ladybug let us continue with our talk”
“What?”
“What, Ladybug?” Akilah said amusingly “You said that I could choose anything and that you wouldn't be mad or ask me to change it. You’ll stick by your word, right?”
“Eh...” X took a long pause “Fine. But just for that I am adding another year to your henchman work”
“Another year??” Akilah asked confused “What...How many years do I have now”
“Six years” X replied.

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.

They are known as the Guiding Threads. Wherever that thread may go, others are destined to follow. This is the legend of a single Guiding Thread. On the night before her twentieth birthday, Tianna discovers a secret about herself that had been kept from her since the day she was born. She was the heir to the throne of Althaedor and the Queen was patiently awaiting her arrival. The problem was those who were not patiently waiting. The select few among the members of the Queen’s Council that were aware of Tianna’s existence jumped at the opportunity to raise a naive princess themselves before she reached her mother’s side. Thus she sets out on a journey to meet the Queen and find the truth before she is caught by her greedy pursuers. (Cover photo by Louis Maniquet)
