《Hunger for affection》Act I – Homes | Offer

The light of the day illuminated with fervor and without obstructions the streets and inhabitants of a busy commercial city next to a great river through which several ships of the nation passed.
This city, being next to this lively river, is characterized by being prosperous by having a good trade for all the boats that pass next to it, as well as providing by itself good agriculture.
But even with this, it can still only be considered a city of little importance, due to its young age and being so far from the capital and the border; in general, it could be considered a city with a stable but not so prosperous future.
As a commercial city and of relative importance, it can access a good variety of wines from low to high quality, which can be seen being sold and bought with spirit in the commercial area of the city, which is defined in the western part of the city bordering the great river.
In this area you can see here and there are several stores and several types of businesses, as well as several sellers shouting here and there are advertising their products or negotiating with buyers, which there were several distributed here and there are.
It is in this area, where a fat and greedy man could be heard singing aloud, on a wooden platform, advertising his product with enthusiasm.
"Come, come!" He exclaimed, "here are the best slaves in the entire empire, you are lacking a good servant to take care of your house, or a beautiful companion to spend an unforgettable night, well, wait no more, here I bring you 10 the best slaves you can find. "We have them of different sizes and ages, from the small, perfect to raise and train them to your liking or already in the prime of their life ready for any job, and above all, they are all 100 percent pure. So go ahead and buy, I promise your money will be well spent."

This merchant talked about and promoted his unfortunate products as he did every day in his life, caring for them nothing more than keeping them clean, barely fed, and wearing barely decent clothing to present them in a shame wrap.
And as every day he sometimes sold and sometimes he did not, but there were times that some of his unfortunate maids remained unsold for a long time, it was then that he put it on sale to get out of them quickly, and if this did not work he could always sell it to some brothel who always had room for someone.
Then this afternoon of the same day, this situation was presented to one of her maids who, due to her race, was not popular to sell.
"Offer, offer at half price, this maiden is a rare breed of feline beast, capable of generating heat, perfect to keep a warm night, and not be guided by her eyes by her features, she is very capable in performing her tasks In addition to being a beast, she will have more resistance and power than the others, being able to do double, no, triple the work of a normal maid, so do not hesitate and buy now. Also, since she is still a girl, you will have the pleasure of training her and shaping her as you like.
That merchant talked and shouted promoting not only her but other poor maidens, and from time to time he approached the poor feline and said threateningly.
"Look, little beast, you better not cry, start acting flirtatious and put on a beautiful smile just like her," he said while pointing to another slave who was a few years older than she, who was seen smiling at everyone who passed by "because if you don't sell yourself by tomorrow, I swear I'll sell to a brothel as a third-grade lady, and let me warn you, that third-grade girls, especially scrawny girls like you, don't last a month, do you understand?"

Hearing this, the girl without a voice in the matter could only nod her head, and in great fear put a forced smile on her face.
"This fatal, but there are those who feel sorry for this, so keep it up and remember my promise."
At the end of this exchange, the merchant, without wasting his valuable time, resumed his commercial activity, changing his menacing face, to a cheerful and friendly one as usual.
Sometime later, as if fate took pity on the poor feline, who was on the verge of collapse, a middle-aged woman approached the merchant and asked him about the feline, and after a little negotiation, the little girl was successfully sold.
"Come on little one, she will be your owner, so behave yourself and don't make me lose my face, because I swear that if they give you back if they don't kill you, I'll sell you to the brothel at once."
It was then with these words of farewells, that the little girl left in silence with the lady who carried her tied with a strap in her hands, which, upon reaching the front of a large house in the east, she said to her.
"Look girl, I'll tell you now, don't even dream of waiting for more than hard work, since I only buy you because you're ugly, cheap, and because of your beast strength."

The Ocean Flame Palace Host
Schedule: I am officially going on an indefinite hiatus. Sorry to all readers but I just don't have any more ideas. Hai Yun is the youngest Divine Rank Alchemist on the Scarlet Flame continent. He was an orphan picked up by a wandering Alchemist Grand master and raised in the Crystal Ocean Alchemy Sect. As he soon got bored of refining other people’s recipes, he started creating his own. One such recipe was of an elixir that can allow one to retain their memories through reincarnation. He thought this heaven defying elixir could bring about a new golden age for alchemists, to let them keep all of their experience after death. However it only brings about a calamity as the other powers of the martial world immediately begin lusting after this divine object. They attack the Crystal Ocean Alchemy Sect en masse, razing it to the ground. To keep them from getting it, Hai Yun devours the Elixir and obliterates his body so they can never even find another trace of it in this world. However, in his reincarnation a series of very interesting things happen… Glossary: Wuxia Fantasies ***DISCLAIMER*** I do not own any of the artwork which was used in the book cover.

8 147I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)
8 75Sir Grace Wachinga, Order of the Hatchet
Grace Howard, a tough street girl in Virginia could become a knight -- if she survives her education. She learns to fight and be a refined lady. She finds good friends, vicious enemies, and finally love and family. The Knight Riding School produces young knights capable of protecting victims the FBI and other agencies cannot. Police policies do not bind them. Carrying swords, knives, and other medieval weapons, they wear bulletproof vests, and use their horses and wolves as fighting and survival partners. I post a chapter about every two weeks, not for the writing part but for editing but because the editing process is so demanding. I give great thanks to those who have helped me learn the art and craft of writing a story, so easily told but written in blood.
