《With You It's Not So Bad》Chapter 8: Memories and Recollection
Advertisement
I don’t have fond memories of summer school. Because I didn’t really care about tactics of wars or fashion, I was always an outsider in the class.
But my sister, Dila, was always there for me. Except after one day, when she was taken to another school because she was chosen to become the next empress. On that particular day, I wasn’t in a bright mood, to begin with. So when I heard that Dila was no longer with me, I was enraged. I transformed into a dragon and burned down the school and the village of the teachers in a fit of rage.
When I cooled down, I was embarrassed by how much destruction I did. So to distract myself I fled into another world and by chance met Melo.
Yes, Melo. A person with short brown hair and brown eyes, with black sweat pants and a plain black t-shirt. A person that didn’t question too much of my motives and just went with me wherever I wanted to.
I am sorry about not telling Melo that before I met him I fought Evil Rabiters so that the poison would reverse my transformation and I would completely be back as a full human. He probably is worrying about me right now.
So why do I remember all this? I feel like this has something to do with me.
And then, the purple Dragon’s Mark appeared in front of me. It was blinking light. The light slowly got brighter with each blink and then when it was awfully bright, I woke up.
When I woke up, I felt new body parts on my body. I was in disbelief when I touched my head and could feel horns.
Did the poison not work? Or is this simply my new state?
My thinking got interrupted by realizing that an unknown man sat next to me.

I stood up and braced myself for a fight.
“Woah, there! I have nothing against you. But we need to make this quick. Your friend is in danger, he went to the Mountains of Ice. Elany is on the way there, but I’m not sure if she has enough strength to get back there with that boy.”
I was already out of the wooden hut by the time he finished that sentence. Strangely, my eyesight got better and there are horns. Horns! But I have to worry about that later. I have no time to lose.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

Grimdark Ash: Twisted Fantasy
The Dreamer wanders the Kingdom. In a world of giants, gnolls, trolls, and magic, his only goal is to slay Royalty. With his powerful mental attacks, courtesy of his highborn heritage, he wreaks havoc on those that stand in the way of his sole purpose in life. Grimdark Ash is a fantasy world that my writing takes place. In this world, there are many different creatures and systems that are common to fantasy themes. For example, there are adventurers, magic, and guilds. However, what differentiates this world from the plethora of other fantasy settings is the everlasting dark theme. (Hint: Grimdark) In Grimdark Ash, basic survival is incredibly difficult, often due to corruption, aggression, or the basic dangers presented through the land.

Aethernum—Cradle of Yore
Diary Number 999, year I-don't-care, location home. Parenting. Of all I've found clear answers except for this most mundane topic. And not for the lack of trying. My library, so humongous my good friends told me one after the other there is no book it doesn't contain helped little. There are crumbling tomes of ancient magic, vocabularies depicting the evolution of the magical language itself, grimoires and holy bibles of cults long past, rows and rows filled with scrolls bearing the efforts of my magical research, contracts, diaries, letters and more. But parenting? There was none. Yet a struggle nearly every member of the Races is not foreign to. I...must have lived under a rock. Across aeons no less. What a humbling revelation.
