"Fuck!! so many options. Did the Force have so many options? Damn Luke. You are still a young padawan. Or maybe he never showed in the movie. Ahhh!!!" Gawen mumbled.
"What should I choose? I don't even know what these options do." Gawen thought as he involuntarily concentrated on one option without choosing it.
And then it appeared. The things which he desperately needed now. The description of these options.
[
many shades of force - allows the user to use abilities across the entire spectrum of force, seeing it as a rainbow instead of dark and light.
]
"Ahh!! So I need to concentrate. How stupid of me."
Then he went through all the options by concentrating on each and every one. Though there were still some hidden ones but the ones that were highlighted he could easily know the description. And after much contemplation he finally chose.

Gawen instantly felt more power and he could feel that his synchronisation with force had become better. He proceeded to use his telekinesis around and noticed that his control of Force was much better than before. And he was pretty sure that he was now 5 times better than before.
"This is cool."
Gawen after experimenting more on telekinesis went to sleep. He was really happy to have become more powerful and he couldn't wait to try the new powers that he had just gained.
----
The next day Gawen woke up and went on for his work. Now he needed to execute the second phase of his plan. And for this plan he needed trusted subordinates. This past year, Gawen had kept an eye for this and he had already picked up 6 people.
6 orphans.
Gawen had chosen them after spying on them for a long time. He needed to make sure that his subordinates needed to be trustworthy and have a sensible character. Of course their loyalty needed to be trusted first.
But before they could be trusted he needed to fatten the pigs. And that's what he did. He called the 6 orphans later that evening. They all lined up at his small room while Gawen took his seat.
"Do you know why you are here?" Gawen asked.
All 6 of them shook their heads while one spoke "No my Lord."
"You are here because I want to make you my subordinates. Loyal subordinates, right under me. I have been looking at the characters of 6 of you for a while now and I can say that I am satisfied. You will be fed, educated, will be able to read and write, fight and if you are interested in other kinds of jobs you are welcome to try."

All the 6 orphans' eyes shined when Gawen said this. When they were summoned they thought they had committed some kind of crime and the Young Lord would take revenge on them. And even one of them thought Gawen swung the other way!!
But it seemed like that had been offered a golden opportunity.
"Are you all onboard.. I mean are you ready for the job?" Gawen asked. And surprisingly all 6 bent their knees in front of Gawen and one of them said.
"Young Lord, I will not disappoint you. You have given me the chance to live a better life and I would do everything for you."
"My Lord...."
"..."
All 6 of them spoke the same lines in different versions, pledging their allegiance and thanking him for giving them the opportunity. Gawen nodded his head but didn't say anymore and let them leave.
And from the next day their training and education started. Gawen had already contacted Maester Wolkan for their education and he even agreed to pay. Anyway he was rich now so he could afford the education of 6 people.
Gawen had been learning sword fighting for the past one year from Coholo for at least 2 hours a day. And this time he just brought 6 more people with him.
"Gawen are these your new subordinates?" Coholo, Commander of House Glover, asked.
"Not yet. They will have to prove." Gawen replied in a whisper.
"Alright. Don't ever give your full trust to anyone. You never know what their real intentions are." Coholo replied. Gawen nodded his head. Coholo had been training Gawen for the past one year and he was happy that he took sword fighting very seriously.
Before Gawen never cared about this but after the accident he became increasingly serious with his life and now he was probably the youngest rich person in all of North. He was now proud of how Gawen had changed and progressed.
Now Gawen wanted to have his own loyal subordinates and he supported this action. So he agreed to teach these new kids for an hour on the days he could.
So from the very same day, along with Gawen, the 6 new people joined in the training. And soon th 6 got integrated with Gawen. They followed him when they weren't studying or practising. Gawen normally would just be in his shop upgrading his bread and ale. And when he didn't do all these kinds of tasks, he would go outside to hunt for meat with Erena.
This was one of his favorite pastime as he could train his force powers and be more lethal with it.

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.
