Chapter 7: The Fall of Wall Maria (1)
------------------
Vincent looked at this scene with a neutral kind of face, He saw many things like this Death. And, this kind of thing is natural to him, but...
Admitting that you haven't made progress despite many deaths and sacrifices had been made even for Vincent, it was heavy and hard to swallow, burdening your back and consciousness, much less said in front of many people.
****
Then... the guy left with tears streaking down on his face, as well as the rest survey corps.
With this occurrence people tend to view this negatively and it is as said people judge these with negativity.
Vincent glanced at the departing back of the survey corps and he could see the lonely and sad back of them. Shaking his head as he resumed walking to his home.
****
"People tend to first judge everything on the surface, demeanor, or even the posture of a person..."
"A person that you see every day can be a killer or just a NEET/OTAKU."
"A person with a handsome face... can be perverted or have evil thoughts running through his mind every day or just a nice guy..."
"That's the truth and nothing but the truth..."
And the quote "Don't judge a book by its cover" that is sh*t
"Ultimately in the end... "Surfaced is as important as the Ground". And that's the hard facts."
"That's why people tend to protect themselves by creating a different persona, shielding themselves by having a strong font, etc... different methods have different endings and effects, but it all came down to being "scared"
"Everything had different opinions and conflicting views on this matter."
"But no one can change the facts that "Everyone can change, bad or good"

Entering the house... and seeing the kids enjoying themselves as Marie cooks food.
Vincent throws all the negative thoughts he had in his mind and just focuses on what's in front of him.
"I'm home..."
"Ahh! Brother Vincent is back!"
"Ahh really!"
"Ye hey! Bread!"
***
Seeing the 6 kids running around happily reminded him when he just started adopting kids in his previous life.
Such a cramp house but the memories in there are unmatchable then they grow, and he founded an orphanage and ironically in this life he got adopted.
"Such a twist of fate is really mysterious..."
They got into the dining table and set up the food, Vincent helped Marie setting up, and he then proceeded to scoop soups and distribute them towards the 6 kids and Marie too.
They eat and of course before they eat, Marie and the kids pray to the Gods, walls, king, etc...
...
They laughed, they had great fun teasing each other and after the food, it was time to clean the plates.
The kids helped from cleaning the plates and no plates have been harmed.
Vincent then proceeded to tell a story and Marie started to listen too.
It was a story about a young boy living with his family of 9 with his grandpa, 5 little brothers, 1 little and 1 big sister...
They lived happily ever after...
The End~
****
After finishing telling the story, Vincent looked towards the already sleepy kids...
Marie then looked towards Vincent and said,
"It was us right..."
"What?"
"You're story... it was about us and Grandpa Neil, right?"
"Yeah"
"Thank you for being here with us Vincent..."
"No! No! If it is not for you Marie, we will be starved to death by now..."

"Hmm. I'm working because all of you, I just wanted to have a peaceful life with the kids and with you also..."
"Yeah! Sister Marie..."
****
"Wait! It's like you're going far away such a cliché thing you're saying to you, you're just going to just accompany the kids as they sleep."
"Hehe! I'm just happy!"
"Hmm I have nothing to do... so I'm gonna walk around and maybe I might find a job..."
"Be safe then..."
Marie then took the kids to their rooms and accompanied them to sleep.
Vincent has nothing better to do, so he walks around the town.
****
Strolling around the town... Vincent spotted Paul talking to someone.
"Yoo! Paul!"
"Ohh... Vincent, why are you here"
"Have nothing better to do, I'm just strolling the town."
"Uhmm... kids at your age should play and read books!"
"Ohh! You're right then where's the closest library?"
"There..."
Paul pointed as Vincent thanked him.
"Thank you!"
"Paul who's that kid?"
"A kid with strong guts"
****
Looking around the library... Vincent then began to pull books left and right, he spotted an old book with no cover in it.
He then took a seat and read the content of it.
'Huh... sea?'
"The ocean covers around seventy percent of the planet's surface. Unlike the freshwater lakes of Paradise Island, the ocean is made up of saltwater. It contains such great quantities of salt that no merchant could ever deplete all of it in a lifetime. There are also many species of fish and other aquatic lifeforms living in the ocean that cannot be found within the Walls."
"Ignorant kind of description as expected of the Medieval Era..."
'Hmm... A mountain that is filled with snow?'
Vincent quickly got immersed in the book that has primitive descriptions of Sea, desserts, etc...
*****
"Ahhh~ I've never read this long for a long time, Such a nice experience"
Vincent stretched his arms and looked outside, seeing the sun was about to set.
Then, like a huge hammer that hit the ground an explosion took place outside the walls.
As a giant "Titan" peek inside the wall Shiganshina District...
And with a bang!
Debris and huge rocks flew around near the walls or gate of the Shiganshina District.
People have been crushed by the impact, crushed by the rocks that have been flying all around the Shiganshina District.
People panicked at this sight as someone shouted.
"THE TITANS HAVE INVADED!"
"THERE'S A MASSIVE HOLE IN THE WALLS. THE TITANS HAD ENTERED THE WALL"

8 385Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii
8 387Heart Of A Servant
"I was once a feared and respected magus. Few could be considered my equals. Alas, the day came when I was sealed in a ring’s pocket dimension by my greatest enemy. With my body gone and my soul sealed, I am now a prisoner for the rest of my life." Bran.
8 172Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0

8 201The Heavy
The Mystery Play business is a niche, but profitable market in the underground community of magical types that's sometimes known as the Occulture. Folks from the old magic families will pay big bucks to experience the sort of life that they imagine for an urban fantasy protagonist, and catering to their dreams puts food on the table. Raymond Doyle is a professional in his field- which is to say, he's the guy who shows up to threaten the star of the show on orders from an antagonist. He's the Heavy. The muscle. He's good at the job. And unfortunately, he may just have to play an entirely different part for this tour package, because the would-be detective turned up dead before he had a chance to threaten them.
