"Looks like everything is sorted out" Zero said
"The octopus dude sure left a mess of the place though" Zero thought to himself
"Attention all citizens it is safe to enter the kingdom once more" a voice announced
"Looks like all the areas around here should be opening" Zero said
"It's him!" A voice yelled
"I can't believe it's really him!" Another voice shouted
"I bet he took down the monster with ease!" Another voice exclaimed
"Of course he did, he's the mightiest hero!" Another voice mreplied
"Who are they talking about?" Zero thought
"Thank you, thank you" A man said
"Who is that?" Zero said
"Hercules spoke to us!" A voice yelled
"I appreciate you all!" Hercules said
"Hercules...?" Zero thought
"Hercules, were you the one to destroy that monster?" Someone asked
"I don't believe that was me, I just came here to assist if needed" Hercules said
"Wow, he's so honest and brave" a group of girls said
"You there!" Hercules shouted pointing at Zero
"Huh, me?" Zero said
"Yes you! Come here!" Hercules said
"uhh ok" Zero said
"Did you see the brave warrior who vanquished that monster?" Hercules said
"Do I tell this guy it was me or no.." Zero thought
"If I tell him I didn't see anything I probably won't get credit for anything but I'll still be able to lay low, but if I do tell him I can get credit for it but people may think of me as a fraud... but I need to catch up in rankings so.." Zero thought to himself
"Uh yeah I killed the monster" Zero said
Everyone gasped
"My, so you young man managed to destroy such a powerful foe?" Hercules said
"Yeah he fired some meteor and I blasted it away" Zero said

"Hey, isn't that guy just some D ranked guard member" someone said
"Yeah wait, how could someone that weak beat a level 3 monster" Another person said
"Level 3 monster?" Zero thought
"This dudes lying to Hercules!" Someone yelled
"BOOOO" the people started yelling
"You have lied to me?" Hercules said
"No I'm not, I killed the octopus" Zero said
"Man this isn't good" Zero thought
"Listen son, I know you are trying to make it big out there but you shouldn't lie about such things" Hercules said
"'My bad" Zero said
"So this is the harsh reality" Zero thought
"Never show up here again!" The crowd shouted
"people will have bias" Zero said to himself
"Hey kid" Hercules said walking behind Zero
"Uh yeah what is it" Zero said
"I know you killed the monster" Hercules said
"Then why didn't you say anything?" Zero asked
"Because with your current ranking, I'm not allowed to make claims with that.." Hercules said
"What do you mean you can't make claims about that?" Zero said
"Shh, our government is corrupt and high views can only be put on those who have been seen in action or are told as heroes, so those who truly do kind acts are overlooked and cast aside for the public" Hercules said
"Well what's the deal with that?" Zero asked
"Follow me, let's head over to the pub" Hercules said
Hercules and Zero headed over to the "Heroes Cup pub"
"Hermès, a drink for me and the boy" Hercules said sitting down
"Why of course sir Hercules" Hermès said
"Hey kid how old are you?" Hercules asked
"Uhh I think I'm 16?" Zero said
"Ah it's fine I will cover it up" Hercules said
"Wait one last thing, what is your name kid?" Hercules asked
"It's Zero as in the number, at least I think I was named after the number" Zero said

"A fine name, Zero" Hercules said
"Now, are you gonna tell me about the government?" Zero asked
"Hey! Keep it down" Hercules said
"My fault" Zero said
"The way our government works is by a king who has let the power get to his head, as only Royalty are able to be known as powerful warriors" Hercules said
"So then how the hell can I climb up my ranks?" Zero said
"It's easier said than done but, you can prove the kings sorry ass wrong and keep defeating powerful foes to show your power and become S rank" Hercules said
"I'll drink to that" Zero said raising his cup
3 hours later
"And so I *hiccup* blasted the shit out of that *hiccup* dude" Zero said
"That isn't anything compared to *hiccup* what I did, I killed a dragon with like 100 heads that kept coming back" Hercules said
"Dragons are easy *hiccup* no matter how many heads" Zero said
"Wanna *hiccup* see something cool" Hercules said
"Yeah" Zero said
"Drinks on me!" Hercules shouted to the entire bar
"And a cheer for this fellow!" Hercules said lifting Zeros arms
"YEAAAHHH!!" The whole bar yelled
Zero woke up in a booth inside the bar
"Wha.. what happened" Zero said
"What happened was you boy, had fun" Hercules said patting Zero on the back
"Wait.. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO BACK TO THE BASE!" Zero yelled
"That's no problem I can help you get back to your quarters, I'll give you an excuse, now follow me" Hercules said
"Wait do you even know which team I'm in?" Zero asked
"Oh yes, you are in the uhhh" Hercules said
"Green time" Zero said
"Oh yes that place I remember where that is, come and follow" Hercules said
"Hey is Hercules with that fraud?" Someone said
"What would Hercules be doing with him?" Another person said
"I'm gonna lose it..." Zero said
"Hey! Hey! This boy is not a fraud he simply mistook what we were talking about, he destroyed a.. different monster who fired an asteroid" Hercules said
"Oh ok, we trust you Hercules!" The crowd shouted
"And that is what fame gets you" Hercules said to Zero
"A bunch of mindless people who will believe anything you say?" Zero said
"Well if you put it that way.. kind of" Hercules said
"Let's just get going" Zero said
"Zero! Where have you been?" Crystal shouted
"Oh hey Crystal" Zero said
"And who's that?" Crystal said
"This is uhh Hercules" Zero said
"A pleasure to meet you" Hercules said
"Oh this is THE Hercules?" Crystal said
"Wait girl you seen familiar, you must be the daughter of-" Hercules tried to say
"OH WOW WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS HAPPENING GOTTA GO BYE" Crystal shouted tossing Zero back into the base slamming the door
"It appears she does not enjoy her origins.." Hercules said
"What was that all about?" Zero asked
"It's umm nothing yeah nothing" Crystal said
"Zero, a pleasure to see you back" Nova said
"Did you encounter an enemy that had you occupied for that long? That would be impossible" Flash said appearing in front of Zero
"Oh uhh no not at all I just.. got drunk and passed out?" Zero said
Everyone blankly stared at zero
"Aren't you.. underage?" Flash asked
"Well yeah but uhh" Zero said
"Oh gotta shit bye!" Zero said running away
"A questionable young man, but quite interesting.." Nova said

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
