《The Town Of Fairview》Chapter 1- Broken Down Vans And Baijiu
Advertisement
Fairview the supernatural and reality-bending epicenter of this side of the globe full of mutants ghosts and freaks all packed into hundreds of acres of forest and one town dubbed Fairview. The locals go about their daily lives in close proximity to the superhuman and supernatural activity that goes on daily. but their are those who gravitate to this town because of its unique wildlife and aura in search of power, knowledge or simply to work at a gas station.
In the middle of the dense forest on the edges of Fairview amidst fog and heavy rain stands an old man cursing and beating a broken down van.
Shit why me of all people, why does this have to happen to me, what did i ever do to deserve this kind of misfortune.
Li wasn't a tall man barely reaching 5.6 in height and looking to be around in his late 80s with white hair covering his head or at least what it could cover the old man was cursing up a storm in his thick Chinese accent the source of his anger and frustration his run-down van with the words Li window repairing services. with the slogan, you can't go wrong with Li but most people in town would disagree.
Terrance, Bart get out of this stupid van and help me what am I paying you two for.
Out came two figures towering over Li the first figure was a black man with heavy boots and jeans with a black shirt the man had an impressive build and was easily 6.5 in height with a buzzed haircut the next figure was a Caucasian man easily reaching 6.6 rivaling the build of the first man who also had similar clothing with the exception of his shirt being red and his hair being long and slicked back while sporting a beard that rival's any dwarf.
You aren't paying us yet Mr. Li honestly speaking you always seem to be taking money out of our paychecks than adding.
Is this how you treat the old man that brought you under his wing. Who is willing to put a roof over your head and food in your belly's Bart how ungrateful.
Terrance looked at the old man the rain hitting his dark skin.
First off old man that run down piece of shit is not a house it's a gas station and you slapping a bunk bed on the second floor which is used for storage may I add does not make it a house. Second any “food” you bring to us comes out of our checks what exactly do you want us to be grateful for.
You complain to much i had to capture dangerous and wild animals with my bare hands with nothing to fend them off with but my cane and incense everyday was a fight for my life.

Didn't you say you lived in a house that was the size of a small kitchen and that you were sharing a room with fifteen cousins, I even recall you saying that you used nothing but a butter knife to take down dogs the size of dwarves Mr.Li.
Bah what do you two know just help me push the van the gas station is five miles away chop chop.
Li went back inside the van as if he just didn't ask Terrance and Bart to push a heavy van containing several hundred pounds of imitation alcohol to the gas station five miles away.
Really old man really.
It should be no problem for you two.
Terrance and Bart looked at each other what could they say he was right but to say the two weren't pleased with the situation was putting it mildly After one hour of pushing Mr. Li started complaining to Bart for not fixing the van like he had asked.
“It should be fine” You said “it's nothing’’ You said those were the exact words you told me and what happens it breaks down.
Yes and I also told you it was going to last a month at best you have to buy a new van Li.
No I don't you have to fix it or that new van is going to cost you two months pay.
Listen old man we both know you are going to leave this van here with us go to town buy a new one while we deal with this heap of pilling shit hell I wouldn't be surprised if you already did that and just don't want to use it just so you won't rack up the mileage and if I see even a single cent of what is rightfully mine disappear for a van I swear I will slit your throat and watch the dust come out.
Both of you shut up do you hear that.
I don't hear shit.
Exactly keep it that way I'm taking a nap.
Shit no wonder we have to keep adjusting he isn't steering.
Well look at it this way at least he’ll keep his lazy oldass quiet now that he took it upon himself to conserve his stamina. After all giving people orders takes a lot out of you isn't that right old man.
For real he talks too much.
Twenty minutes later they arrived at the gas station in the outskirts of a town surrounded by hundreds of miles of thick trees the town in question had no real name but the locals called it Fairview the town that seemingly had no real reason to exist other than bring in the supernatural both physically and spiritually who did not want to live or couldn't live in ordinary society.
Hey Mr.Li were here.

Ah! why did you hit the door so loud do you want me to have a heart attack!
That depends Mr.Li are we in your will?
You in my will? the fact that you even think i have a will insultes me! Now Unload the truck time to earn those check of yours.
Ok it's not like we just pushed a van 5 miles or anything.
No sass or else I'll remove that bunk bed in the attic.
I would like to see you try old man.
Don't test me bug boy I own a fly swatter and I will use it.
Mom dad please stop fighting.
Whatever lets go back to unloading, are you helping old man.
No I'm going to sleep oh and bart fix the van or it will come out of your check.
Mr.Li sits himself back in the van for another nap.
You know bart we've been here for some time and every time we come outside I feel like something is watching.
That's because there is fuck head and whatever it is there gonna eat some liquid tungsten.
I've been itching for a good fight who knows maybe we'll finally meet some chicks.
Well let's hope so. those “women” that you brought last time are the most unpleasant thing we've experienced yet.
How was i suppose to l know they were coven witches l.
Witches more like hags now let's get back to work or Mr.Li will will throw another fit.
You two done yet it's been hours.
yeah we're done and it's only been thirty minutes Mr.Li.
And did you fix the van like i told you bart.
Yes but it won't last like i told you a month ago.
Well I'll be going some fools i mean valued customers require my premium services.
Try not to rip them off to bad old man.
And try not to break anything or I will pour boric acid on you while you sleep.
What ever old man let's go inside bart. Bart? What's wrong dude? Why do you look like you seen a ghost?
How do you do my good men!
Oh fuck a ghost!
My my i have to say this place still looks like a shit hole-
NO NO FUCK NO
Bart tosses several hammers at the transparent apparition but they pass through having no effect.
Bah how rude of you!
BART RELAX it hasn't been aggressive yet stop throwing hammers your fucking up the store!
Fuck that you can talk to this fucking thing! I'm going outside and it better be gone before I come back or I'll demolish this whole goddamn building!
Bart leaves in a panicked hurry.
don't mind him, he… has a thing for supernatural beings.
Anyways fleshling i am sir leading role! I've haunted this establishment for hundreds of years and i shan't be leaving anytime soon.
Well could you atleast stay out of barts way that would save us a lot of problems.
Anyways i manifested my self in order to warn you. There is a powerful being in the area and it seems to be chasing a couple of other fleshlings and they are heading this way. Do not allow my home to be damaged in anyway fleshling take care.
Hey Bart he's gone you can come in now.
Bart walks back into the store seething with rage.
Is the fucking demon gone?
Yes, and it's a ghost not a demon he also gave us a warning said there is an unknown entity coming our way as well as a couple of people being chased by it.
Interesting Terrance let's fucking kill it Mr. Li and the demon pissed me off and I need an outlet for my unyielding rage.
I couldn't agree more with that sentiment but we best be careful with the store or the old man will have a fit and honestly i really don't want to hear it.
Ok, let's load the shelves real quick before the “all-powerful” entity gets here with its next potential victims in tow.
As the two went back to work deep in the forest something was moving it was big and it was giving chase to two slender figures. with this a meeting by chance was about to take place. one that would bring about a group and story that would be spoken of by the town of Fairview for many years to come.
Do you hear that?
No, I'm a smith I craft items from materials that you can barely pronounce i can't grow a Tympanal Organ.
A loud screech shook the woods.
Did you hear that?
No shit Terrance.
Out of nowhere two figures jumped through the window both Terrance and Bart taking notice of both figures each taking in the lovely surprise that would probably cost them their checks seeing as they just broke through the window one was a tall woman around 5.10 with red hair rivaling any sunset any of the two have ever seen and lovely emerald green eyes with a body men would kill for. her hands were smoking it seemed as if she was the one who broke the window. The other women seems to be 5.8 in height with platinum blond hair and eyes with bright blue eyes brighter than blue gold with curves all put in the right places but after appreciating the view the first one to come back to reality was Terrance.
Gah really the window! God damn it that geriatric fuck is going to be pissed!

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
