《Hunger for affection》Act I - Homes | Learn
Advertisement
The first thing Rin learned when she arrived in this ramshackle house was to see what she was facing, the first thing is to have a crazy and cruel mistress, this I experience first hand as soon as she arrives, and the second is that when looking for things to Cleaning discovered that only her and her mistress were in this house, and she would confirm this later when it was time to eat.
"Beast, come here," called the old lady, to poor Rin who was cleaning the room, which she left to go where the lady was, who was drinking in another smaller room.
"My beloved Highness, what do you want?" Rin asked with a forced smile even if it made her were her cheeks still hurt.
"Go to the kitchen and make dinner," the old lady ordered without further ado, but it turns out that there was a problem in this order, which Rin expressed.
"My beloved Highness, but ... I don't know how to cook", excused herself poor Rin, who since she was little and in all her years of service could never touch the kitchen.
But this excuse was not suitable for her mistress, since she stood up from her comfortable sofa to slap her again and scold her.
"You are a useless beast, surely you settle for eating raw meat like animals, now come."
When she finished saying this, the old lady guides Rin to the kitchen, where she would teach her to cook, her first meal, steamed buns, during this training, the lady did not stop insulting and mistreating her claiming
"The servant should know, clean, cook, some art and nocturnal pleasure techniques, but you are useless who only knows how to clean, if it weren't that I can't get another servant, I'd be selling you to a brothel.
From this moment on, the old lady would cruelly teach Rin to cook different dishes, learning her second thing with this, but it should be noted, that the situation of the house did not provide for an abundant meal and less for a servant like her, bringing with this a constant hunger in her

As the months went by, Rin aside from learning to cook, Rin was instructed in a bad way, to express herself and act as an obedient imperial servant, with the excuse of her mistress that it gave her agony to see her act and speak so horrible, learning with this, after 6 months a good etiquette as the fourth thing, but at the cost of losing her facial expression and speaking unnecessary things, reaching almost muteness.
And it was after these months where she would learn something else, a glimpse of the lady's past life, since neither drunk nor sane, she released some useful information, in addition to her obsession with perfection.
This happened when the old lady was saying goodbye to a man who came to visit, a very rare thing in this house abandoned by heaven, but the important thing was that the man during the visit from time to time savored the young Rin with his sight, and when he left, she was attacked by her mistress, leaving her in pain on the floor.
"You are not a cat, you are a bitch in heat, dirty, filthy like that bitch who took my husband from me and sent me here, from today on, you will stop dyeing your hair, shaving your ears and hiding your tail, let it be known that you are a bitch, false, hypocrite; I no longer care if they say I have a beast for a servant."
She insulted and angrily explained the insane lady, then went off to drink.
From here on, Rin did as your mistress commanded, reverting to her old beastly brown appearance after another 6 months.
In these times she began to learn something else, as always because of her mistress's whims.
"Here, play something," said her mistress, throwing her a flute, which Rin grabbed and remembering the last time how when she learned to cook, she gave in to the pain and began to play terribly.
"Stop, you're disgusting, it seems that you don't know how to play, as expected of a beast without delicacy, you only serve to dirty these delicate instruments, wait for me here," said the old lady to go aside and return with another flute.

"Listen and see my fingers, see if you learn something" and when she finished saying that, she began to expel a relaxing and beautiful melody that touched Rin's heart, even if the origin was a cruel old lady.
From now on the old lady would teach him to play from time to time, as well as give her the flute that she used in principle, explaining "This is already useless with your drool."
Too bad she had no talent and with the passage of time, she could only play, according to the old lady, a passable sound.
As well as this art, something else she learned, although she never expected it, which was accounting.
For her time, she knew that the lady had vision problems, but during the first two years that she was with her, this worsened proving her ability to read, causing her to one day tell him.
"You know how to read numbers? and add and subtract?"
"My beloved Highness, this humble and filthy servant know."
"Until finally something that you do know, well come with me."
And so, like the other times, she dedicated time to her teaching her how to keep the accounts of the house and as always, in front of any mistake, well it's a punishment.
Luckily, the accounts weren't that difficult, especially since all the money came from her brother, and most of the money that came out was drinks.
After this, she did not learn anything else, if not she polished her skills until she reached a point that her mistress almost did not yell at her.
But, during the middle of her third year this changed, as a result of when the old lady received a certain letter from her brother; From this moment on, she was more and more rabid and demanded more and more from poor Rin, leaving her always beaten and tired.
Although she did not know what the letter said, from the accounts she sensed that her brother had stopped sending her money, but she never commented on it, it was not convenient for her to do so, it would only invite pain.
But, fortunately, or unfortunately, this suffering ended after 6 months, when her mistress called her and told her.
"I'm selling to you."
"Yes, my beloved highness," Nodded with submissive and calm poor Rin who was now in a slight depression again.
"The prince's palace is buying good servants regardless of their race, good price," explained her mistress, and then comment with a strange familiarity.
"You know, I was a servant of some Marquez with a good position; After a lot of effort, I managed to win him over and be his wife; but that bastard, with time to see that he was getting old, began to belittle me, dating beauties, for my case, little could say, since I did not bear children, then One day I got angry and made a fuss and he threw me out."
"Men suck."
"Listen, if you will ever ascend to the heavens, see to it that you make Yun Goe's life miserable."
"And take care, don't let my honor and my teachings go to waste with a pathetic death."
And after these words of strange affection, the old lady locked herself in her room and wouldn't come out until the next day to deliver to a merchant to Rin, a poor slave in her adolescence, whose race would come as a hybrid beast with a human, which you might notice by looking at her furry feline ears and her tail, both covered in brown fur, a color she shared with the rest of your hairs.
An adolescent whose contortion could be described as short and thin with almost no curves, this due in part to malnutrition and a face that is arguably regular but battered by a bit of acne, but that contained a pair of silver jewels that he wore for eyes, like her fellow humans, Those, with whom she will have to live whether she wants it or not.

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress.

Risen
Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero.
