《A Fool's Wish》Chapter 5 Page 6 - Introduction
Advertisement
Akilah found herself inside of the enemies headquarters, waiting for the man she had just fought. He had finally agreed to talk to her after she had knocked him to the ground during their fight. A knockdown that shocked everyone, Akilah assumed that it left a bitter taste in everyone’s mouth seeing their leader that they respect greatly get beaten by a mere little kid. However, that was none of her concern, they could all foam that the mouth from anger for all she cared. She was only concerned about two things, making sure they let the girl’s father go and finding out how they managed to break her spell.
“Captain Navin is requiring your attendance, please follow me” a meek looking young man said, as he entered the hall Akilah was standing in.
‘He doesn’t look like a soldier…Is he a spy? Or a butler?’ She thought as she followed the young man. The idea that this man might be bringing her into a trap had not been lost on her. However she figured that following him would be the best course of action.
“So” a loud voice uttered as soon as Akilah entered the room “Let’s talk about why you’re here”
Akilah turned around and saw the man that she had just fought sitting on a chair with bandages across his chest ‘He really looks bruised up’ Akilah thought.
Surrounding him were three other men, one of them being Flow. The other two she assumed were men of similar rank.
“Well” Akilah said nonchalantly “I think I made my point very clear” she said raising her eyebrows and slapping her hands together forming a crisscross with her fingers.
“Oh yes that that the old man that we found is not the culprit, which is assumed, rather a feeble looking young boy, yourself beat up four of my soldiers including my brother”

‘Brother?’ Akilah thought ‘his brother was one of those sleazy soldiers?’
The man noticed that for a split second a look of disgust swiped over Akilah’s face.
“Does this news disturb you?” the man asked well placing his hand in a fist with his thumb beneath his chin.
“Did you not know that they were my soldiers?” he said with no reaction from Akilah “no that's unlikely” he continued, “It’s more likely that you didn’t know that one of them was my brother”
Still no reaction from Akilah, but he knew that he was on to something. However, before he could ask further Akilah interrupted.
“So what do you want?” she asked, “Another fight? Do you feel like getting another beating?”
This angered one of the unknown men standing next to Flow and as he was about to reach for his weapon, the man sitting down raised his hand stopping him.
‘A leader he is, indeed, no words needed to stop his underlings’ Akilah thought ‘I have to say impressive...Now how does an impressive man like him have such a scumbag brother?’
“This is not what I’ve called you here for” the man spoke up “I called you here to talk”
“Well then talk” Akilah spoke up “How about introducing mister tough guy and an explanation about why I’m here”
The man raise his eyebrows, as if he had been shocked by her words.
“Of course, how rude of me not to introduce myself. I am Navin Vengraif, the head captain of the southern forces”
He said then pointed his hand towards the man that was about to attack Akilah “He’s Leo Armegani, captain of unit one” Navin continued pointing to the man standing next to him “He’s Vito Jenvi, captain of unit two” then pointing at Flow “Lasty, captain of unit three, but I doubt he needs any introduction”
‘Okay so no one here by the name of Era or Dogn’ Akilah thought.
“Satisfied?” Navin asked with a raised brow.
“Yeah” Akilah responded
“Good” he said, “Now let’s begin the negotiation”

8 212Outlook: The Stars (Consciousness Unbound Book 1)
The year is 2152. Rune Yahui is a nineteen-year-old failure, not having gained entrance to college or the military, with no significant prospects in life. Even worse, Rune is the poorest of the poor, hailing from the mega-slums of New Southern Chicago, the lowest pit of America. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to gain a future more lustrous than toiling the rest of his days away in abhorrent conditions in one of the near sweat-shop level factories that dot the megapolis, Rune signs up for the Virtual Citizen program, a program to cull the excessive world population by transferring just their brains into a video game. In a stroke of rare luck, Rune is admitted into the program and happily submits himself to the surgery and digitization process. Unfortunately for him, he wakes up several hundred years later than he expected... or does he? **Author's Note** This isn't a type of story typical to RRL. You may have noticed LitRPG in the tags, but it's a relatively minor element in the story until later. You may also notice Slice of Life is in the tags. This story is going to be slow and there won't be any power tripping until way later if at all. The focus will be on character development. That doesn't mean I won't still have action/excitement, however. I encourage you to give the story a try. Maybe it will be your thing, maybe it won't. Thanks for even taking the time to read this, and if you do give my fiction a try, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, I hope you find something that you do enjoy. Happy reading!

There was once an Empire that stood here. The Clawscar Empire. For centuries they were the dominating power of the lands of the west. However, during the reign of Emperor Rahl, the people of the Empire became complacent and lazy, giving themselves to debauchery and degeneracy, ignoring the problems the nation faced. As time passed, the land started to die, relationships with other nations worsened, and Clawscar was slowly becoming a miserable place to live. However, one night, suddenly, the old, rotting order was swept away by a mysterious storm that left as quickly as it came. The people who lived to see it called it the Ghost Hurricane. Years have passed since the hurricane's rampage. Now, a young man prepares to make his trek across the Empire's Corpse, hoping to learn the truth of things... Note: Has nothing to do with the ongoing Magic Knight Saga, also written by me.
8 158This is a My Hero Academia fan fiction. This character is not in the anime she is of my own creation. I wanted to create something original so I came up with this.

With many twist and turns she finds out the truth about her forgotten past that she never would have thought of. Also there is a little abuse and drinking involved with the plot so be aware of that and also there is a death too. Little Manga Spoilers if MHA too. ☺️
