《The Withering of Gold Vol. 1》rest; ...

Ahhhh, the peaceful morning sound of birds and other lively animals, all singing a nature's beautiful tone in a complete symphony.
Wow! This morning sounds wonderful! I can’t wait to get up and celebrate it by playing nonstop games until daybreak tomorrow!
Like usual, Effryn tries getting up like every other morning in his life. But this time, it was like he was tethered to the confines of his bed.
He was a prisoner to his own bed.
Why won’t my body move?!
While trying to get up, he felt a rush of exhaustion overwhelm him.
As he felt huge amounts of pressure on his body, he slowly began to remember what happened the night before-the night of insanities, he thought.
Holy jeez...that was all too much for one day. Especially last night…
…
Huh? Speaking of late night paralyzing accidents, where’s Evvryn?
“Evvvvvvryn!!”
He tried calling out her name, wondering where she could have went after leaving behind a poor pained kid.
No response, but…
HmffHmffHmff
Smells like eggs, a bit on the burnt side, but still chemically smells like an egg.
Is she making me her eggs?
In this truly rare moment, Effryn gets to experience delectable nectar without being punished or slapped, even if he was the one always cooking them. Or, everything, for that matter.
Whenever Effryn tried teaching Evvryn how to cook it would always end in disaster.
Preparing rice-too much water.
Making spaghetti-not enough sauce or noodles to match the overload of ground beef.
Hell, she even messes up the simple task of boiling eggs!
Effryn also felt there were an odd number of rare events happening around him, but he brushed it off as just some kind of freak coincidence chain.
Hearing the stove turn off, and the clanging of dishes, Effryn could only pray for what was about to be fed to him.
Please God, kill me now if I’m still seen as a child of your light.
Hearing footsteps nearing their room, Effryn thought of every religion possible to give him a swift death from the nightmares before him, and began to vigorously pray.
“Are you awa...The hell are you doing?”
Crap am I still alive!?
“Did you get brain damage in your sleep…? Never mind, here, brought us something to eat.”
She Lifted up two plates, with each having two eggs and a piece of toast. Burnt eggs mind you.

“Y-yeah! Well not to brain damage, but yes to us feasting!”
“I don’t think it’s feasting if it’s breakfast,with eggs mind you, but let’s eat!”
And in unison, he and Evvryn announced “Thank you for the meal.” and began feasting.
Huh? Uhhhh…
A problem? A definite big problem. One he couldn’t just pass by on his own. And no matter how much effort he put, he couldn’t do it.
“H-hey Evvryn…?”
Shrieking by the sound of her name being called out, she answered with quick response. “Yes!”
“Well uhh, I ran into a little problem while eating…”
“Huh?”
...How can I eat if I can barely move my body?!
Evvryn scanned his body, trying to figure out what was wrong.
Until eventually, she dawned a look of Oh yeah… on her face, realizing what the problem was.
“Ha, so you’re crippled for the time being…” Flashing a smirk, she gave him a slap to the shoulder. “Shoulda told me earlier pal.”
“Shut up! I only just woke up not even five minutes ago!”
Setting down her plate, she grabbed his, and scooped up an entire egg with her spoon. “Alright little baby, here comes the plane train!💜”
“Why am I being spoon fed an entire egg?!” Effryn tried complaining, wondering why he was now being treated as a new born.
“ChaVroom! Next stop, your digestive system!!” she said in a announcer voice, as if declaring to everyone on board the train-plane combo they were going to die in a horribly yummy way.
“S-stop! Do I have to be fed like a chil-” Ump. The egg being forcefully shoved in his mouth, Effryn had a difficult time chewing an entire egg at once.
“Hmmm! Wmmhy woummmmld yommmu dom thmmis?!”
With a piping hot egg in his mouth, Effryn felt his taste buds burning from the freshly molten egg. He was sure that not many would survive this surprise attack, and to those few that did, would surely be traumatized.
“Aha, you should chew before you attempt to speak, silly!”
“Mhhhhhhh…” Managing to somehow swallow the entire thing, he takes a deep breath, letting the veterans cool down from the last attack. “I hate you.”
“Awww, ready for round two?” Smiling, she picks up the second egg but with the piece of toast instead.
“Christ anything but that! Just give me a moment to at least mentally prepare for that!!” Petrified by the horrid sight, he shut his mouth in lockdown to prevent any more casualties, even terrified by losing more than just his taste buds.

There’s no way I can eat that all in one go and live…
“Finefine, I’ll let you have a break. But get ready for an egg Blitzkrieg soon!”
“Oh boy, I can’t wait!” Effryn said in a totally not so sarcastic tone.
Being able to rest mentally assured, Effryn was able to relax. For the most part, atleast.
“So how are you feeling little champ? Any place it hurts more than another?”
“Well apart from my entire body aching sore, I feel like death.”
“Yeah...I’m sorry about that again.” Clapping her hands together, she bowed, asking for forgiveness. “Who knew I could make you mad enough that you would actually curse! That’s like, as rare as getting a triple rainbow.”
“I know it’s pretty uncommon and all, but that legendary…?”
Although it sounded hard to believe, she was right. Effryn never really said much bad language.
He thought he never really needed to, and was contempt with expressing himself without language of naughty extent.
Strange...I thought I would begin to grow like Evvryn with the amount of excessive vocabulary usage she uses.
Evvryn should have been a negative influence, so why does he barely curse?
Pondering this question brought on to him by God himself, only one answer shone through the clouds of his mind-for Frael!
Aha! If it’s for Frael, she must remain pure at all cost!!
Frael, definitely the one string keeping Effryn from being a rude mouthed person like Evvryn. If it’s to keep her purity beaming for eternity, then Effryn would cut his tongue to make sure it happens.
Thinking of the angelic being, Effryn gleefully smiled as his thoughts become sunny.
“Hey, uhhh, what the hell's got you in a good mood?” Evvryn questioned, disturbed by the smile formed on his lips.
“An angel.”
“Yeah...I should call the police.”
“Wait, what?! Do you even know who I’m talking abo-”
“-Frael.” She blankly interrupted, sounding a little perturbed. “Who else would you fantasize about?”
“W-well, I mean…maybe I have other friends th-”
“-Complete bullshit.” She said fastly, again, interrupting. “Enough talking, it’s chavroom time, then bed time.”
“W-wait! I’m full, trust me, oh God, please!!”
Effryn, practically begging for his life at this point, prayed for Evvryn to not feed him again.
“A-and how is it nearing bed time? I just woke up!?”
“Oh you silly helpless boy; you let time slip from your mind. You slept in all day!”
Before getting any time to deny what Evvryn said, she pulls out her phone, showing the time 9:21 pm.
What the...was I really knocked out all day?!
Hardly wanting to believe it, Effryn stared at the time on her phone. Reading the same numbers 9:21 over and over again. He couldn’t believe it.
But the proof was right in front of him, now reading 9:22. There was no denying it, he slept through the entire day.
“Christ...I got all that rest and I still feel sore.” He tried moving his arms around, but felt a tense shock of pain, making him stop and find a comfortable resting spot. “Can I even go to school tomorrow?”
“Probably not, bet let’s not worry about that, just rest up and eat.”
Please let it be in that exact order.
“Now say awwwwww” Lifting up the toast with an egg on top, she slowly motioned it to Effryn’s mouth.
Kill me, please!!
“W-wait, Evvryn! I promise, I can’t eat any more. Say you know what? You can have it, I know how much you adore eggs, so be my guest and have it as a treat from yours truly!”
Tilting his head with a soft gently smile, Effryn tried to use everything he learned from his sad life to get away from the burning, even using tricks from Fraels cuteness.
But alas…
“I don’t care. EEEEAAAAATTTTT!!!!”
Propelling the toast into Effryn’s virgin mouth, she was able to fit the entire meal in one swift move.
“AAAAARRRRGGHHHH” Effryn, feeling the sheer amount of food in his mouth, tried chewing the food the ignorant amount of food forced down by Evvryn. Cursing Evvryn, he uses all the energy in his body to focus swallowing the food while keeping himself alive.
I swear, I’ll make you eat this amount of Eggs and watch you choke on your own precious cargo!!! He thought to himself, before passing out after twenty minutes of egg belching and fatigue.

To Cross the Threshold
What would one do, when a star crashes into the Earth? Die, of course! Except, in Joseph's case, it was all wrong.

From there on out, he got volunteered into the crew of the Morning Star, the pirate ship he was unfortunate enough to stumble upon. With a tree for the Captain, a dragoncat for the Quartermaster, and a human, equal in height and width, as the Cook, he sets sail across the mysterious and hostile Threshold, filled with fierce abominations, rich Ghosts, and patriotic soldiers from the Glorious Metal Empire, all to figure out what the Light has brought upon his Earth that day, and to find his way back home. Warning - English is not my first language, so I apologize in advance for any inconsistencies and grammar mistakes. Please, do point them out when you find some. Updates three days a week - Monday, Wednesday, Friday. This book is about the slice-of-life-ish lighthearted adventures of Joseph and Co. Just one long bumpy road, inspired by old-school RPGs.
