《An old mans tale!》Enjoying yourself.

"Now that you have seen the top of the world what do you want to see next? You have to have a goal in life or you will be one of those people that max themselves out in highschool and never go beyond it in their entire lives."
"How will you advance now that you have seen something so grand, so magical. People have died to see what you saw this day child. Don't be mistaken for how mundane it may appear. It is wonderus."
"For now you should try to enjoy your time in Nepal. Let this be the first step on your journey. I remember what it is like to be in your shoes."
I was awestruck having seen such beauty to leave mortal men breathless and wanting. How could anything be so grand as what I had seen, how could anything ever hope to compare? Walking down the streat I came across a little girl playing with her friends and wondered if she had an answer to my questions. So I asked and got the response that the mountian was normal. She could see it out of her bedroom window every morning. That it was her old friend and that she talked to it sometimes.
I thought how silly and looked at the collossus that I had scaled. Looked at it and decide to do as the child does and speak to it. I told it that I would challenge it every decade for the rest of my life. I told it that I would be there as I always paid my debts.
That was the first such promise that I made but it would not be the last. I promised the moon to see it from every contenient on the planet. The ocean that I would swim them and the land that it would never be something that I would pass out of hand.
How fun that would be.

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.
