《Dark Beginnings》Ch. 2 The Grimour
Advertisement
I woke up to an empty bed. Dani had left for work, and left me half a muffin and a cold pot of coffee.
I went straight to my study to write the strange dream I had, in my journal. I dreamt of a cold room full of dusty scrolls, and large circle with a star in the middle. Next to the circle was a triangle with incense burning in it, filling the room with thick smoke, and a smell I couldn't recall. A face was in the smoke of the triangle, but it didn't look quite human.
I got up from my desk after finishing my entry when I noticed something off, there was a book sitting on my shelf.. the book looked old, and had strange blocky writing on the front with a tree that had 10 fruits on it along with a star in a circle carved in its trunk.
Out of curiosity I opened the tomb. There was a flash of light. I flew back into a bookshelf . Pushed by some unseen force.
I heard a deep, gravel like voice as if it was in my mind. It said "What is the name of the one who has released me?".
"Sol-Solomon." I stuttered.
"Master Solomon, I am bound to you now that you have released me from my imprisonment. My name is Prometheus, the bringer of fire, and Lord of forethought. You have great things in your future."
I sat there speechless for a moment. "What does this mean for me?" I asked shaken.
"I will help train you to become a magician, and you will change the world forever, for better or worse."
I shuddered "Give me some time to process this Prometheus." I told him "you can't just chill out in the open like this how the hell am I going to hide you from everyone?".

A ring suddenly formed on my hand, with a strange signet. "I will reside in this ring to call me simply say my name and I shall emerge master" said Prometheus.
After he said this a bright light whooshed into the ring and it felt cold to the touch.
I spent the rest of the day reading the book and writing down everything that happened in my journal. If I was crazy I wanted people to see how it happened....

This is the story of an older man who lived a hard but full life, being reincarnated into a fantasy world as a human-lizard hybrid.

In this story the protaginist will not just be a muscle bound monster. He is not a proper hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the good of a stranger, but neither is he a maniacal villain. He is trying to survive, and he is trying to give himself and those he deems himself responsible for a seat at the table of the"goodly", the "civilized" races. He is trying to create a secure home for his people, to arrange beneficial trade agreements, explore ancient ruins, decipher ancient runes, push the boundaries of magic to create a better life for everyone around him, to learn about the history of the world and the multiverse, and ultimately attempt to become powerful enough to take on a being that even the gods themselves fear. This is my first story and it blends many different elements and styles. It's a bit darker than most of what I have read on Royal Road, but even with that, I hope you give it a try, and I hope you like it!
