《In Pursuit Of Accolades》Grade A Moron
Advertisement
Given the chance I would like to think that I am quite happy.
Greg sat on the bed of his college dorm and looked once more from his phone to the door.
Greg loved this time of day with its quiet air, and stale feeling. Of course he was still indoors, but he felt like he had time to spare today. A rare occurrence indeed.
He wasn’t really inclined to be that productive this early though.
While he was a night owl for the most part, he found that it was a bad habit to have in his early high school days.
Now that he spent a month going through all of his college orientation, and be gained classes he found that it was possible to switch sleeping habits. If only a little bit
It just took a metric ton of coffee to wake him up.
“…I definitely blew my budget this month”. He said with a sigh.
He once again looked at the door.
“Is it about time now?” He asked himself
He stared at the door for a minute before deciding to go make another cup of that been juice. Mmm how he loved that cheap taste now. He was absolutely addicted to the stuff but it made him feel pretty good for the first 40 minutes of the day. Before making him pass out in Mr. Benitas class.
Not that the old mans lesson did much to keep him awake though.
At this point in time he started to ramble while waiting for the Grade A Moron to make his first appearance of the day.
“Is he going to be late again?…”
“Damn, why did I get into tutoring again?”
Oh right I need the money
"Could I sell myself for money?"
In the end it would just be too much effort and not enough pay.

7 minutes later he heard some heavy footsteps in the hallway.
Which Completely disregarded the fact that most in the dorms were not even awake right now and wouldn’t be for the next 20 minutes.
Heck some are probably even hungover.
Greg decided that Terrance needed to learn how not to be an obnoxious idiot.
At least not this early in the morning.
Terrace entered the room after quickly rounding the corner and slamming the door open.
He stood at an impressive 'I never took the time to size his height up'.
Still he looked taller than he was wide and that bodes pretty well for his health I guess.
Anyway the poor door swung open fast after he tried to buldoze my door. While he stood there arms on hips in a vauge gesture of superhuman strength.
If not for Greg having placed his bag between the door and the wall after he woke up it was quite likely that the RA would have chewed his ass out for a new hole in the wall.
For the fourth time this month…
Greg decided that Now was a pretty good time to tell Terrance off. Coffee in hand he approached the over enthusiastic idiot at the door.
“God Dammit Terrance, Why the hell are you here anyway?”
He barely looked at Greg before flashing a pearly smile, turning around and walking back down the hallway.
“Here because you need the money and I need the grades bossman”.
Greg Looked down at his coffee for a second.
“Why the hell do I still keep forgetting to cancel these sessions?”
"I think it's time to revisit the idea of selling myself."
He picked up his computer bag and jacket before slowly catching up with the moonwalking Terrance in the hallway. Pondering the pros and cons of being paid with coffee directly.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Into the Feywild
I've never considered myself to be much of a fighter. In fact, I had no notion what it was all about. I couldn't envision a war amongst people, especially my own. In this odd realm, a timid half-elf has little chance of success. Especially with minimal experience. I've only fought as a means of survival, self-defense, if you will. I had known only humans, so the concept of elven culture and family was foreign to me. And yet, here I am, in the midst of a tremendous battle between two Feys and a God. I never planned for things to turn out this way, or for me to get caught in the great shambles of war—a conflict between good and evil. My two companions are practically strangers to me, knowing nothing but my name. This journey was not something I had planned or wished for, but it was what the Gods gave me.◈ ◈ ◈Meli, a young half-elf traveling the Material Plane, is unexpectedly captured while on her travels, only to become a member of an odd group of individuals. Crane, an older wizard castaway from his college for practicing unnatural magic, and Kurky, a youthful and lively gnome who is as fascinating as they come. Meli's curiosity gets the better of her as she chooses to accompany them on their not so concrete journey into the Feywild. Little did they know of the constant war raging within this woodsy plane. Maybe Meli will discover everything she's been looking for, embracing love and pleasure along the way. Or perhaps she'll become a part of something bigger. © Copyright to EmmeMeadows 2021
