《Starsign Lord》The Ratman Problem and Waitress - Chapter 11
Advertisement
As Fraus got closer to the sound that came from the other side of the trees, he noticed a cave just on the other side of a little lake.
Fraus took a deep breath and thought.
This "lake" is called "Blue Bird Lake" and is the lake people are using to catch fish."
Fraus started to think that many things do not make sense. Why are Ratmans living inside of a cave close to "Blue Bird Lake", which is the closest place to where most of the humans living in and most of the powerful humans controlling the whole empire?
As Fraus was watching, he noticed that the number of "Ratman" was large. More than 100 Ratman had already entered and left the "Cave". This is not a good thing.
Fraus nodded and stopped his hunting and just started running towards the city.
- Day 1 – 8 PM
Fraus had already come to the city and started talking to the guards of Blue Bird City.
Guards are people with some power, and they are usually stronger than "Candle Level Starsign Users" due to their physical strength and experience.
After they listened to Fraus, and he was talking about the "Ratman", a middle-aged man came out of his house, wearing plain clothes. This man was second-in-command of all the guards of Blue Bird City.
He is so important to ordinary people that they couldn't talk to him most of the time.
The reason that Fraus can talk to him was pretty simple. First, "Fraus" was wearing the clothes of "Dream Sword Art" and second, it was clear from the energy he is radiating that he is a "Candle Starsign User."
These two reasons were enough for him to get attention and have a chance to talk with the "Second-In Command Of The City."

After that, a middle-aged man saw the guards talking with a man. He asked the man who was walking alongside him.
Is that him, who spoke about "Ratman"?
The man who was walking with the second-in command nodded and did not say anything.
-
Fraus looked at the man who was coming towards himself and took a light breath. He easily noticed that this man and the man who was walking with him were not ordinary just from the demeanor they had.
At that time, the second-in-command came and started talking.
"Hi, mister. I am Giras, the second-in command of the Blue Bird City, and this man who is walking with me is "Larios," the "captain of the guards" just beneath me. Could you give your information to me please?"
He nodded and starts telling them about the things he saw and showed them the tail of the "Ratman" he killed in the forest as evidence of the truth in his swords.
After seeing the tail of the Ratman, Giras and Larios looked at each other, and Giras started talking after looking at the "Fraus."
"Thank you for this valuable information. I will tell guards to pay you for it in about two to three days. Come to my office if you need a job. I could very well find a good job for a "Starsign User" like you."
Fraus nodded and at that time, Larios and Giras had already left the scene with other guards, and one of the guards gave him "Ten Silver Coins."
Fraus took the coins and smiled.
-
"The telling them about the "Ratman" is a good thing, risking my life to kill all those "Ratman" is not worth it"
Fraus thought, he knew that with 10 silver coins he have a good starting point and do not need to work doing mundane things, because of that he went to his "Inn Room"

After Fraus entered the room he took a deep breath and conjured Geminis 1 and 2, he named them like that for the time being.
"Geminis 1"
"Geminis 2"
After Fraus conjured them, he said them to just slash with the sword.
After the order from the Fraus, Geminis 1 and Geminis 2 started to working out, slashing with their swords, practicing.
This kind of practice help to power and familiarty of the "Fraus" increase even further, Even when he was sleeping Geminis 1 and Geminis 2, hunt, train or do everything but still the one who is going to get experience from the it is "Fraus", of course this make them strong too. But in the end Fraus knew how to use his ability to open a different kind of things for the himself.
The Geminis 1 and 2 was still slashing and practicing the swords, in the room,
Fraus alreay got down on the tavern and ordered food and drink, thinking about the two things he encountered in just one day that he was in the city.
"First thing is knowing about the "Cursed Graveyard" and "Undead Walkers, and the other thing is discovering the "Ratman" and "Ratman Cave" just at the side of the Blue Bird City"
Fraus thinks that many things are changing, but he did not know how to name it.
At that time he unconjured the "Geminis 1 and 2" and felt a little bit experience inside of his mind, but this was not the only thing.
The status of himself opened directly and showed him information.
"Fraus Deephearth"
"Level – Candle
"Starsign Energy – 2.0"
"STR" = 1.3
"Agility" = 1.2
"Endurance = 1.2
"Starsign = "Gemini"
"Pathway"
"Original Gemini – Ability 1"
-
Abilities
-
Geminis – "2" (Copy)
- Skills –
Basic Swordmanship – Level 0 (%5)
-
Fraus nodded as he saw the status,
"This is directly like a "game"
Fraus understood that, he started to think, if he could increase his and his "Geminis Power" like that, why not set a "Geminis 1" on the outside and just let him work.
That is because he was still new to all the things, he only had his power for about 5 hours, and he thought that after learning a "Sword-Art" from the "Dream Sword Art", he will use his ability to "Train" the ability.
As Fraus was thinking the bartender woman came with the foods and drinks he ordered and spoke.
"My name is Lilis, by the way, so you are connected with the "Dream Sword Art"
Fraus looked at the woman and laughed a little and answered.
"Yeah, I am just joined them for improving my capabilities, thank you"
Lilis, nodded and spoke.
"I know many students from the "Dream Sword Art" that left the school after the first month, If you are still here after one month, I may thought making you a discount"
Fraus nodded and then spoke after taking a sip from his beer.
"I dont think so,"
Lilis put her hand to the table and spoke with a smile.
"Why is that"
Fraus then took a sip again and spoke.
"Most likely I am going to buy myself a house in the end of first month"
Lilis just shook her head and then went towards to kitchen to work.
As Lilis left himself alone, Fraus started eating his food.

Small Chests Are Fine Too
It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive dissapointment, one will never truly reach fulfilment if they think too small. A truth that one small woman with meager aspirations is about to find out. DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of my main series, Everybody Loves Large Chests, which is also mandatory reading to understand this one. It runs parallel to the main plot, branching off from the chapter titled Upheaval 2, so there will be spoilers for anyone who hasn't reached that point.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

Tellus Stirs (Previously Earth AA)
The year is 2030. Earth is dying. War, pandemics, overwhelming pollution, species going extinct, climate change, etc. The so-called human race has brought more harm to their planet due to greed; their increased energy needs were on a path of decadence even with their increased technological advancements. Tactical Nukes were already used in conflicted zones in the fight for resources. The conclusion was a deep and frightening hum unleashed deep within the earth, heard by every living creature, and with it, civilization has ended. Those who survived wished they were slain along with their loved ones as the dead didn't have to endure what came after. Others took the opportunity to gain unimaginable power and prestige as a new age began. Chaos reigned as per the prophecies foretold in the past. Those who did not believe knew the signs were actual; these prophecies were no longer popular folk tales. Such titles, the Breaking, the Rapture, the Malhama, and many others, came at a high cost. After all, every city or densely populated area had been hit with natural disasters that encompassed tsunamis, Earthquakes, Firestorms, Typhoons, and hurricanes. Power, food, infrastructure. All of it was gone and what came after was worse as humans were no longer top of the food chain. Yet the imminent destruction of the 21st century re-opened a veil that had kept the world safe from hidden dangers, or maybe it was the other way around. Time will tell. In our story, the Protagonist rises from the ashes of the apocalypse. A desert child soldier nurtured by tragedy and death looking for an escape to fill the void in his heart. By chance, in his hand, he held a blade with immense possibilities. Notes: (30.06.2021) - I have re-edited and revised the following chapters up to Chapter 24. - Changed the Title from Earth AA to Tellus Stirs. (3.07.2022) - Edited the Synopsis Cover Done by [email protected] (Permission Given).
