《High Tides to Low Clouds (ft. Miss Catherine)》Being on the Top
Advertisement
A certain building towers over a city. Standing with thirty-one floors up, it made the rest of the city look insignificant in comparison as no other building could reach the height of this one. For this only those with utmost importance can claim an office of their own. People will look up and wonder what it must be like to have the fortune of the people who are in the top ranks, and that has caused bitterness in many. At the top of the entire structure was an office for a very important person.
"The sunset looks nice," he said.
Surely the sun was setting nearing the closure for the day's work. The man turns his back from the window and takes a step to his desk. A computer setup with two brightly lit monitors. Sheets of written paper, heavy-duty pens made of metal and a couple books all neatly organized. There was not an item misplaced in sight.
"I wonder if I should treat myself tonight."
He looks at the first monitor. Documents for the next procedures for the project are open. Plans to expand and the likes. Nothing simple.
"A drink at a bar doesn't sound bad."
The second monitor shows calculations on costs for materials, hires and everything else. All arranged in a way that can be easily accessed and nothing cut off or showing half its information. The man is not paying any attention to it right now, for this is the time he has decided to get off.
"Perhaps a cafe would be better. I do have work tomorrow."
The man had worked eleven hours today with a half hour lunch break. He had focused on his current career for the past twenty-three years. Stuck in a chore of a job for nine.

"I wonder if something nice will happen."
His empire took ten to be built. Eating twice in a day. First meal is always a sausage and egg muffin sandwich with a cup of coffee on the side.
"I haven't been seeing anybody in a while."
Zero friends since finishing high school. Divorced twice. Zero kids in custody.
"Shouldn't get my hopes up. Did that too many times."
House is worth three million. Five billion in income. Chocolate bar with peanuts and caramel he gets on Friday after work being a dollar.
"I do have a business trip in three days."
He sighs a single heavy sigh.
"It's never a vacation."

The First Magician
James died from touching something he, in hindsight, should definitely not have. As luck would have it, he was reborn into a world with magic, levels, skills, and stats. Just like an RPG! The most curious thing about this new world was that magic had only existed for thirty years. What kind of life will James lead in a world filled with monsters, dungeons, and magic? Usually will update Wednesday and Saturday, but there's always the chance I haven't gotten around to writing in a while so there may be a break. Additionally, I intend to edit heavily between arcs.

Hymn of Ignis
If a man is told to walk from the moment of his awakening to the world, what will he do? He will walk. What if along his path he stumbles and falls? He will get up, and walk. What if along his path others bar the way? He will push through, and walk. What if along his path a storm hinders his passage? He will overcome it, and walk. What if along his path the sky changes color and light no longer guides the way? He will remain on his path, and walk. What if along his path the very ground gives way to oblivion? He will press on, and walk. What if along his path he becomes more than a man? Will he stop? Release schedule will be either weekly, or biweekly, depending on the time I have available. Hopefully that will change for the better along the way. As for the story itself, opinions matter a lot! I appreciate both soft, and hard criticism, so don't hold your punches.
