《My Humble Adobe Of Short Stories》Letter to a Stranger

Dear Stranger Whom I Wish To Meet Someday,
Okay, this is not a very good beginning but let me start with telling you this, in advance, that I'm not very good at writing letters. Writing letters is all a bit new for me because I haven't really written letters to anyone before, so please bear with me a little. You know, today as I am writing this letter, a thought occurred to me: Why don't we write letters more often? It is such a beautiful process: You pick out the best piece of paper you can find; pour out your feelings along the lines, fold the letter neatly; put it in a pretty little envelope; seal it with wax and then send the letter off. But sadly, slowly and gradually this art is dying.
Look how stupid of me, in all of this (explaining how I am not good at writing letters), I even forgot to ask you about your wellbeing. I know you can't see me right now, but I'm definitely facepalming myself. :)) Anyway, I hope that you and your family are in good health. :) Even though I haven't met them yet, someday I hope I will.
When you write to someone you have never seen before, you start expecting a lot from them like how their personality is, what their physical attributes are, if they like eating olives as much as you do?(yes, I do love to eat a good amount of olives). But for once, I would like to keep all that aside and not expect anything. Honestly, before writing this letter, I did imagine those things but now, I know that those are pointless cause I want to see you through your eyes.
This may sound a little random, but do you wanna know something amazing. Right now I'm sitting in my balcony and writing this letter. It is around 6:30 a.m and one of the most beautiful sights behold my eyes. In the very East, the sun is rising above the horizon with red, orange and pink hues spreading in all the directions. I know a lot of people say that sunsets are beautiful but try giving sunrise a chance(if it is possible), especially if you are feeling low someday. For me, sunrise denotes hope; that after every dark day, there would be a day filled with light. And I hope that this can help you in those dull, tiring days.

Before I end this letter, I would like to apologize for if I have said something wrong or offended you in some way. And Thank You for taking out the time to read this letter. The seal on the envelope has a dried flower stuck to it from my garden, hopefully, this will remind you of me. If someday, we meet or you read this letter( no matter if it's two, four, ten or even twenty years), please write back to me.
Goodbye, for now,
Your Awaiting Stranger.

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan
