《Forsaken》Chapter 9: Making Money
Advertisement
{The Next Morning}
It’s time that I should head over to the Monster Stables, but before that, I’m going to eat my breakfast… bread and meat, yet again.
*eats food*
It seems that I’ve finally run out of food, but that’s fine, since I’ll be getting paid 15 Aurnia by the end of the day.
{Monster Stables, Kashin, Aidea}
So first up on the list are the Poultrignises, they like to eat grain and small animals, okay, let’s head to the shack.
What the door is locked?!?! Oh wait… Mr. Balos did give me a key for this.
used "Key of Monster Snack Shack"
The inside of the shack stinks! Is that rotten meat I smell?!?!?! But it seems fine since these are monsters we are talking about. I find large bags of mixed grains and also some rodent-like creatures’ carcasses in a large barrel.
I grab a bucket’s worth of grain, and I grab 3 of those large rodents. I chop the rodents into chunks for the Poultrigni. I mix up the meat with the grain and I bring the bucket of the shack and into the pen where the Poultrignises are kept.
Surprisingly there are only 3 of these monsters here, so I guess even these lesser ranked monsters are somewhat uncommon.
The Poultrignis would look just like a chicken only if it didn’t have dark red and orange feathers and razor sharp teeth within its beak.
Wow these little chicks are actually crowding around me… they are actually pretty cu- OWWHHHH. Did it just bite me?? I try to shoo away the Poultrigni but that didn’t do anything. So, I throw the mixture of grain and rotten meat a distance away from me, and that did the trick, the chickens rushed to that side, pecking and gobbling down the grain and meat. While they are busy, I climb out of the pen.
These things are dangerous, I think I know why I was hired by Mr. Balos. He knew that I was a Spirit Apprentice, since Normal ranked people could be brutally murdered by these monsters.
It’s time to feed the Aquacertas, they like to eat fish and insects. I head to the shack, and like I expected, I found what I needed. I grabbed two large fishes and chopped them into tiny pieces. I threw the fish into a bucket and I then found a different barrel, which contained an assortment of dead insects, like mosquitos, beetles, and others. I mixed the insects with the fish and carried the bucket to the Aquacertas’ area. Their fenced in area was mainly mud and had a large pond in the middle.

There was around 9 Aquacertas, 5 were swimming in the pond and 4 were playing in the mud. The Aquacerta is just like a lizard except it had a sail-like ridge running along its spine, from the back of it’s head to the tip of it’s tail.
I hurled a larger half of the fish and insect mix into the pond and the rest onto the mud, near the Aquacertas.
Next is time for the Caelups, who enjoy eating birds and the meat of monsters.
I head to the shack and once again I find the birds and meat. To make sure these wolves have enough to eat, I exit the shack and enter their area, I count 3 Caelups, and I then head back to the shack. I grab 3 decent sized birds, one for each wolf, and I then look for the monster meat. It seems that these thick slices of meat are from another lesser ranked monster that resembles a cow.
I slice the thick slice of cow meat into strips. and throw the meat into the bucket. I then head out to the Caelups with the three birds and the monster meat strips.
With a closer look I see that the Caelups are still pups and are incredibly adorable, they just rushed up to me, licking and running around me. I feed each Caelups a bird and also a couple of strips of meat. They are delighted!
Hohhhh… I see they’ve taken a liking to you. (???)
Who’s there!! *turns around* Ahh! Mr. Balos! You frightened me just now! (Mevirs)
Hahaha! I just came over to see how you were doing. I also want to clarify that the monsters only have to be fed twice a day, once in the morning, and the other time at dusk. (Balos)
*Balos leaves*
Oh! Is that so? I think I’m just going to stay here and practice my cultivation since I have nothing else to do.
I position myself into the Introductory Form of Emperor’s Way, sitting down, crossed legs, and my hands pressed together. I need to be able to grasp the 1st Form by myself since it doesn’t say in the book.
5 Hours have passed and it is now noon. I’ve finally grasped the 1st Form, I slowly move my right hand and position it above my left hand. It seems this is the 1st Form.

Another 5 hours have passed, and it is now dusk. It is once again time that I feed the little monsters. My cultivation has only taken a few steps but I already feel that I am way stronger than before.
Emperor's Way 1st Form has reached 2%
I head to the shack and I grab 3 buckets, and I fill them up with the necessary foods.
Grain and rodents for the Poultrigni.
Fish and insects for the Aquacertas.
Birds and monster meat for the Caelups.
Hahahaha. It seems that these little guys are satisfied.
Where do I go to find Mr. Balos to get my pay? I should check out that house over there.
{Balos’ House, Monster Stables}
Knock, Knock, Knock
Is anyone there? (Mevirs)
Yes I’m here. I’m coming in a second! (Balos)
*Balos opens door*
Hi Mevirs! I almost forgot to give you your pay for the day! After everyday, just come by my house to pick up the money. (Balos)
has received 15 Aurnia
Thanks Mr. Balos! (Mevirs)
By the way, do you recommend any inns that I can stay at? (Mevirs)
Oh yes, check out the Night Owls Inn, it’s located just west of the Market Place. (Balos)

{Room 216, Night Owls Inn}
I think I should visit Adaline at the Ronts Manor soon… Maybe I should visit her around noon tomorrow.
Knock, Knock, Knock
Hello? Mr. Mevirs, I’ve brought your food! (Waiter)
*Opens Door*
Oh… Thank you very much! (Mevirs)
The waiter hands over a bowl of stew with a large bread roll on the side. She then bows and leaves.
*Closes Door*
Time to eat!!!!
MMMMMmmmm… The is savory and delicious! Oh! The bread is so warm, light, and fluffy!
I bring the bowl down to the pub and I return to my room.
Time to get a good night’s rest!
…..
The bed is so soft!

Curious Tales: Assorted Fantastical Fiction
These are a collection of my short stories which don't feature gender bending front and center but do involve horrors, fantastical delights, and weird surprises. They may involve something as simple as a house on a swamp overlooking the dreams of the past or a byzantine battle between time travelers for what they see as the "right" timeline. And be as shiver-inducing as being locked in a school at night with disembodied shadows or as sweet as an old stuffed animal with a special secret.

Tartaros
Depends on what side you are, you have heard two stories what happened 15 years ago. One side says that a rebel trio Gorgos fought against the opressive goverment of Ashphodea, only known as gods, and won. In other side's story, a terrorist organization called the Gorgos started their reign of terror 15 years ago after taking over a correction facility only known as Tartaros. Edan had heard the first story, Andi had known the second. Edan, son of Medusa, the most known of the Gorgos, and Andi, daughter of the assitant to the Ashphodea's golden boy Perseus, are both sick of the secrets their parents keep from them. They want answers, and they are going to get them, with our without their mothers help. ——— This is a re telling of the myth of Medusa in a dystopian setting, where a the Gorgos are the teen rebel archetypes now in their thrities, war isn't as black and white as you think, and the gods are as ruthless as they always were.
