《The Love of a Sparrow (Elmont/JTGS LS)》My Love, Gone
Advertisement
Sparrow's POV:
Once we got out and away from there, we took a rest. Elmont sat by himself sad that his friend was gone. I sighed and made a makeshift cross out of two sticks and a vine. I sat next to Elmont and handed it to him. When he realized what it was, he stuck it in the ground and wrapped an arm around my shoulder while i wrapped one of mine around his waist.
"His body is gone but his spirit still lives. He's in a happier, better place where there's no pain or suffering." I told him.
"Thank you." he said as his arm tightened around me.
"How can one being be so amazing?" He asked.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked back as he looked at me.
"Your just so amazing its almost unbelievable. You fight, you kill monsters, you save and protect people even though they still treat you like shit, your so smart and clever and have such a good heart and wise mind. And your so beautiful." He blurted out.
"And what about you tough guy, huh? You fight, protect people, your smart."
"But I'm nowhere near close to being like you." I leaned up slowly and kissed him softly. I broke away from him and leaned my forehead against his. He cupped my face in his free hand and kissed me again, this time deeper.
"Hey guys? We sho- oh." Jack started as he and Isabelle came over from around a tree. Elmont and i broke the kiss but didn't let go of each other.
"Pardon?" I asked after a moment of silence.
"I was, um, i was just saying that we should, uh, get going." Jack stuttered out.
"Right then. Come on." Elmont stood, releasing me of his hold after pulling me up with him. He took my hand and lead us on, following the water. Once we got to the edge, there was a sleeping giant blocking the way out.

"Roderick's handiwork no doubt." Elmont said.
"Must have sent him to block the entrance." Isabelle said.
"I have an idea." Jack said.
"What?" I asked.
"We're gonna wake a sleeping giant." He said and walked off.
"Well that doesn't sound like a very good idea."
Elmont and I quietly followed jack, who was holding a stick with a giant bees nest on it, over to the giant as Isabelle stayed behind a rock.
"This is a terrible idea." Elmont said.
"Have you ever killed a giant?" Jack countered.
"And you've killed what, one. Which makes you an expert."
"Weren't you in an oven an hour ago?"
"Oh shut up you two. Jack, I think this is by far the stupidest thing you've ever done. I love it." I snapped at the two. We were almost to the giant when it farted. I made a disgusted face as Elmont and I quickly went over and lifted the face plate of its helmet. Jack dropped the bees nest in and we ran off after closing it. We hid behind the rock with Isabelle and waited.
"Alright. Once it's clear we make a run for it." Jack said.
"Really, you don't say." I said sarcastically. The giant got up with a start and started running around like a chicken with its head cut off yelling bees. He backed up to the edge when he finally got his helmet off but tripped off the edge. We all started laughing. Isabelle hugged jack in all the excitement.
"They really would be wonderful together." I said nudging Elmont.
"But the rules." He started.
"I know. Speaking of which, we need to talk about." I told him.
"Right. Let's go." Jack said and we followed him to the edge.

"Princess, Jack, Sparrow. You go. I'll be down as soon as I can." Elmont told us.
"No Elmont we go together." Isabelle told him.
"I'm not going anywhere without that crown." He said.
"But that's not the mission. Find the princess and bring her home." Jack said.
"Well then you complete the mission. Get her to her father and leave Roderick to me. Did you ever kill a man?" He countered.
"You two start heading down. I have something to discuss with him."
"Thank you. Your one of us now Jack." Elmont handed jack a guardian badge. Isabelle hugged Elmont and the two were on their way down.
"So what's going to happen after all this is over? You know we can't be together, to rules forbid it." I said.
"Well, I don't know about you but I'm gonna resign my guardianship." He said.
"Why? I mean, you are top dog."
"What's a top dog without his lover?"
"Why?"
"Because though we've only known each other for so long, I love you. There's no doubt about that and I'd do anything for you." I grabbed him and kissed him with so much passion.
"I love you too."
"Now go. Hurry." Elmont told me. I kissed him one last time.
"Come back to me." I said, handing him my dagger I used to cut him out of the dough and started me descend. The stalk started to break and fall as I dropped from branch to branch so I jumped off and glided down to the bottom. When I got there, Isabelle and Jack were already there. Jack knew to leave me be cause Elmont was either probably still up there or dead. Matrix came trotting over and comforted me, sensing my sadness. The king came over and sat next to me, still wary of Matrix.
"As a king, I could give you everything, as a father, I can't give you enough. But I sense that what you want is something that I can't give." He spoke.
"I now have everything I need to start rebuilding my society, for I am it's Queen. But as someone told me, what's a top dog without their lover?" I said as my eyes teared up.
"I know exactly what you mean but at the same time I don't. Would you mind enlightening me."
"I have had so many adventures like this one but there's only one difference between those and this one. I fell in love. Your head guardian has made my heart fly."
"Elmont?"
"And I know those rules would forbid us from being together but not being together is better then never seeing him at all. Do you wanna know what he told me?"
"I would, yes."
"He told me he was gonna resign to come be with me. I don't see how he'll be able to now."
"I'm sorry. I'm going to have an alliance made between us. I was going to ask what you thought about that and if you'd agree to it."
"I like that idea."
"I'll leave you know. You seem like you need some time alone." With that the king left, taking everybody with him.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
