LOCATION: PLANAX VILLAGE
'Dugdugdugugudgudugdug' looking from afar, you will thought a sandstorm is coming heading straight to the village. The ground is shaking violently like there is an earthquake. Karsus, the head guard of the village sound the alarm when he noticed the accumulation of dirt that is heading its way to the village and prepare his men from possible assault.
As it gets closer, Karsus noticed that someone is in front of the dust running from the moving dust. Looking closely, he sees that behind are horde of 4-legged monster resembling a cow ( or rather called Kawkaw!) is chasing someone in front.. As it get closer and closer, he recognized a familiar face from the village and finally recognizes who he is.
"Aaargh! %#^$^#$# .Crap, not again. Okay, everyone form a shield wall now!",Karsus grunted, "and make a way for that boy!" Karsus added.
"aha, hah hah... Please make it.. please run as fast as you can.... you can do it.... Almost there... almost there..... Here we go... I'll show you who is a better runner, the fastest of them all... c'mon.... here we go.... You're almost there Julius, wahhhhhhh! Heeeeeeelp meeeeee fatheeeeer!", Julius shouted.
As soon as Julius passes the warriors, Karsus shouted to the army,"PREPARE FOR THE IMPACT!"
'Buuggssshhhh, Boom! Boom! clang!, clang!, clang!', a loud sound erupted upon clashing on the shield wall.
"Ngarrrk, Ngaaark", several Kawkaw stumbled upon impact from clashing, despite being low level monsters yet feared by locals because of its aggressiveness and are quite violent.
"Now lets prepare for our tonight's meal! Everyone 'FORWARD TRUST'!",Karsus screamed.
'Tsuk, Tsuk Tsuk!', one by one, Kawkaw fell down. For these men, this events are somehow ordinary. From time to time, many monsters tries to attack the village looking for prey. Some are strong, mostly are weak. But over time, they quickly adapt and manage to repel any monster coming by.

Karsus glanced at Julius from behind and said, "You got lot of explanations to do son, anyways the village chief wanted to see you!"
"Yes farther, and I'm sorry.... I hope you like my present.... Happy Birthday!" Julius bow after.
"Ow, so that explains why! Well thanks.... But not!(He almost got me).. You will swing the sword 5000 times tomorrow for making a mess at the front gate!", Karsus squinted is eyes while poking his finger to Julius' forehead.
"Of course Sir Captain, 5000 times, Sir yes Sir!" Julius excitedly said and saluted.
'hmmm, very odd as usual, he likes to be punish at all times', Karsus thought.
"Then I'll see you later for the festivity, don't forget to visit Granpa.. He has something to give you! DO YOU COPY" Karsus ordered.
"Sir yes sir!" Julius shouted.
"Your mother also wishes to see you, you are relieve now and go get cleaned boy", Karsus said.
"Bye father!" Juluis turn around and run as he leaves.

"For taking care of me when mother is gone... I mean my real mother died.... I wonder what she looks like" Julius said.
"Hmmm, I miss her too! She's the most cunning yet caring women I've ever met....sniff snifff", Ariadna's eyes are getting watery, "And you look exactly like your mother. And oh........that's it, go to your Grandpa, he has a present for you. sniff sniff" Ariadna excited said.
"Then i'm going... n....", Julius was cut.
"Your forgetting something don't you?." Ariadna asked.
"Ahmmm, ahhhhh ok, yes the bath thing...... I will take a bath now, bye!"
'He's growing too fast, I hope you'll find what you're are looking for.... But I'm afraid there are thing you don't have to know for now. Better leave it as is. There is perfect time for everything. I'll leave that to you father, I leave that to your Grandpa' Ariana thought.

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
