《Age of Swordsmen Online》1.5 Chikao the Wise
Advertisement
The room itself was very big, but due to all the book shelves, which were filled up by books to the last centimeter of available space, it shrank to about half the space of the actual room.
In the middle of the room, there was a wooden table with even more books on it, behind which a man sat on a wooden chair.
The man had a long, white beard, long, white hair, glasses, and wore a long, blue and white garment.
"I haven't talked to him for a long time." Said Kyaga to Itaka
Kyaga walked a few steps forward and sat down on another wooden chair in front of the table.
"Hey, Chikao."
"Hello, Master!" Answered Chikao in a monotonous voice.
Chikao was an NPC, which was created by Kyaga about 2 years ago. He is a fortune-teller NPC. He knows pretty much everything about AOS and can give forecasts on certain events and actions that may happen.
"You've got something to tell me?" Kyaga couldn't come up with something else that he could ask him.
"Today is the last day of AOS, Master!"
"Yeah, I've figured that out myself…" Said Kyaga a bit sad.
"Okay, Master."
"Is there something else?" Asked Kyaga curiously.
"My mind tells me that you are in danger, Master."
Kyaga frightened a bit. "Wh-Why that?"
"I don't know myself, Master."
Kyaga turned to Itaka, who just shrugged. "He probably just means the shutdown."
"Yeah, probably." Answered Kyaga, still a bit frightened.
Kyaga stood up and pushed his chair over to the table again.
"Goodbye forever, Chikao."
"Master?" Chikao looked at him quizzically.
"The shut down of AOS? We can't see ourselves after it."
"There's always a reunion, Master."

"He's an NPC, he probably just doesn't understand." Said Itaka to the slightly confused Kyaga.
The two left the room again, to go further down the hallway.
Suddenly a display appeared in front of Kyaga. "I think I got a notification, lemme' check really quick." He made two swift touches on the display and was inside his notification box.
'Food will be done in 10 minutes' – Mom
Kyaga sighed. "I'll have to log out soon."
"Okay." Answered Itaka. "Are you coming back when you're done?"
"Probably not, my mom wants to drag me to a family fest or something like this." Answered Kyaga a bit annoyed.
"Oh, Okay… But you're here at 0 A.M.?"
"Imma defiantly be!"
"Okay, that's nice!" Itaka smiled at him. "Okay, bye then I guess?"
"Yep, bye!" Kyaga used his right index finger to swipe down and open the Player-Menu. He pushed the 'Log-Out' Button and everything around him started to slowly 'build itself away' like it's dissolving.

As such I expect that it will need a lot of polish to get it to its final form, but for now I hope to keep up with NaNoWriMo and get something on the page. Until then I welcome comments and constructive criticism. Thanks for reading.

Heavenly Flame
Every prince born in the Tian Dynasty goes through a ritual to recover memories from their previous lives. With these memories, they receive amazing cultivation techniques and martial skills that make them stand above all other men and able to rule the world from the Heavenly Court. When Tian Yan wakes up from the ritual, he realizes something is wrong and he does not seem to possess any of the advantages he was expecting. Will he be able to compete in the backstabbing, scheming, and politicking that is required to succeed his father and inherit the Imperial throne? Or even survive? After all, they stand above all other men and that means the biggest threat to a prince is the other princes. Heavenly Flame is a Xianxia story with a heavy focus on drama, relationships, and romance. It will have a lot of recognizable things from the genre but I will also try to subvert elements that I do not like about it. Scheduled chapters will be released Tuesdays at 11:00 CET and Thursdays at 19:00 CET. I might still release additional chapters depending on my other workload but these will be marked as such.
