《The Love of a Sparrow (Elmont/JTGS LS)》Another Adventure Awaits
Advertisement
I woke up to a pain in my left wing. I opened my eyes, shaking my head to clear my vision. I heard whining below me and looked down, realizing that I was hanging about 8 feet in the air with my left wing stuck in the stalk. Well, now I know why my wing socket hurts. Matrix was whining and clawing at the stalk. He seemed to have heard something and and ran off. I saw my weapons bag on the ground with a few of them on the ground around them. The closest one what my sword. I began trying to get the sword with my wing to drag it over. Sadly, it was too far. But that didn't mean I wasn't gonna keep trying.
Elmont's POV:
We were tracking Isabelle again, and it seemed to be leading us to a giant bean stalk. As we got closer, something came running to us. It was as big as a bear but had a different body structure. We all pulled out our weapons but it just whined at us, pacing in front of as and turned to the way it came. It looked back at us and seemed as if it wanted us to follow it. I was the first to move, guiding my horse towards it. It seemed to be satisfied by my move cause it ran a ways in front of us and turned back to make sure we were following. It lead us to the bean stalk and we saw something more surprising than ever. The beautiful girl I saw yesterday but this time she had wings, one of which were stuck in the bean stalk. She didn't seem to notice us as she was trying to reach a sword with her unstuck wing.
"Come on. You can do it, Sparrow. One, two, three, reach! Ow, ow, ow, ow." She spoke to herself.

"My god, what is that?" Roderick asked. She looked over to us like she'd seen a ghost.
"Um, hi?" She said, unsure.
"are you in need of assistance?" The king asked.
"No, no, I... yeah, I do." She admitted.
"Alright Crawwe, you cut her down. I'll catch her." I said, getting off my horse. He did as I said as I stood ready.
"Oh, careful, careful, careful." She said as he started cutting the part that was trapping her. Once she was loose she fell into my arms. She looked at me, her eyes a dark, midnight blue. It was almost like she could see into my soul, tell me things I didn't even know about myself. There was a strange aura to her, but what, I could not say yet.
"Um, you can put me down now." She said.
"Oh, right. Sorry." I set her on her feet and she stretched her wings that looked of a sparrows.
Sparrow's POV:
It felt good to stretch my wings after that.
"Excuse me. But what exactly are you?" The king asked.
"You want the honest truth?" I asked and he nodded.
"I don't know. I was just born like this." I shrugged.
"Your highness." A guard said and pointed to an unconscious jack. I sat down and let them deal with jack. Hell get a piece of my mind later. I just payed attention to Matrix.
"Jack! Jack! What have you done?!" I stood up and walked next to jack as uncle came yelling, the guards wouldn't let him pass though.
"Who is this man?" The king asked.
"He's my uncle. Your majesty, I want to volunteer. And Sparrow will come too." Jack volunteered us.
"Why don't we bring wives and lady friends." One of the guards said.

"Excuse me? You wanna say that again? Oh, don't make me come over there and beat your mortal ass." My feathers fluffed in annoyance.
"Let's not be hasty. I think the young man should come. The woman seems to have quite the temper and seeing from the bag of weapons on her back, she may be able to use them. Elmont, didn't you say that she was the girl who gave Isabelle the basilisk tooth? Where do you think she got that? Plus, they're the only ones who saw what happened. They might shed light on this mystery." A lord said.
"Your majesty-- no elmont, Roderick's right. They might be an asset. But I would like to know where the girl got that tooth from." The king cut elmont off and looked at me. I opened my mouth to make something up but jack said something first.
"She's a witcheress." They all gasped.
"Jack, your a complete idiot! You don't just tell people that! Do you not remember me telling you about the bad reputation witchers have! Even if they save people!" I yelled at him.

This novel is a System-based sword and magic Western Fantasy with elements of gamelit (Dungeons) and eastern cultivation (The system). Genre: Fantasy, Historical, Action, Adventure, and a sprinkle of Romance with Comedy. Pacing: Slow at first till chapter 30 before becoming a rollercoaster. Known Issues: Ages of the Protagonist and allies at the start. NOTE: THE AGES IN THIS NOVEL ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THEIR ACTUAL MATURITY. THEY ARE PROTEANS FIRST. AND HUMANS SECOND. Also, if you're looking for smut, this novel isn't for you. Not in the slightest. On a fewer caps note: The age maturity thing is integral to the plot and it will be explained rationally as the books go along. You are free to guess why that is. Synopsis: Book 1 presents to you the world of Protos. Protos is the land of the blessed. Its inhabitants are of many races, but most of them have diminished in the long wars against the beasts that also inhabit Protos. This has led to humanity becoming the dominant species and eventually, all other races, including the beasts, have been banished to pockets of land where they survive on meager existences. However, Protos was destined not to be peaceful as the inhabitants could only fight off the beasts with the help of warforce. A bloodline system that allows them to activate their war potential and battle fiercely. Now, with the beasts defeated and the other races diminished, humanity - having no common foe to fight turned upon itself, for war was in their blood and they again shed their blood in rivers. As the years passed, kingdoms and empires rose and fell and eventually stabilized into an uneasy peace until - 300 years ago, the world went through yet another change. A change where the wielders of warforce now possessed additional powers that had been lost for millennia. These powers changed the face of war again and conflict, which was dying down, reignited madly. In this world was born Faustus Drayke, Scion of House Drayke - which, in turn, was the frontier protector of The Kingdom of Leon. Fate decreed him to be unimportant. His Destiny and the desperate prophecy of a powerless girl decreed that he will be an immortal. Set in the backdrop of betrayal, honor, and loyalty - Follow the tale of Faustus Drayke as he forges his destiny and becomes an immortal. For himself, he has to fulfill the prophecy. For the world, he better fulfill the prophecy. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` The inspiration for this book came from Smoke is a Path's TotRL - which has unfortunately been discontinued.

8 204YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
