《Mastery》A Step in the life of Aziva
Advertisement
Aziva stared down through the window of the mansion. Life had been very strange since mom had met Jace. Everything had gotten better, people may think that Aziva was still a little girl naive and innocent. But Aziva knew many things, she knew what her mom did when her first not-real dad disappeared. She knew, she had seen the body but had made sure mom hadn’t seen. She knew mom was protecting her, she knew it was necessary. Many things were necessary when you were poor. Aziva nodded to herself, she knew this, she thought it was like this for all people. But then Jace came and everything changed, Aziva had started calling Jace dad really early. She had heard from on of the other street-corner ladies that if you called people certain things for long enough they would become it.
So she had started to call Jace dad, and now she was in fact her dad. She smiled as she snuck past a maid and out the mansion door. Life was good now, Aziva’s had paused as she put it on the gate that lead outside and into the city. Then she got kidnapped, mom almost died. Tears threatened to appear in her eyes, she blinked them away. No tears, never again. Jisarila was teaching her how to learn the rapier, but it was not enough. She knew it wasn’t. She wouldn’t be able to protect mom or her comfortable life this way. She had put on her street clothes, they were dirty and torn. She messed up her hair and tapped her status sheet.

Aziva nodded to herself, she knew her abilities were strong, but she had never told anyone about them. Not even her mother. Aziva disappeared in the mob and made her way to the slums. Eventually she ducked down one of the alleys and entered an abandoned house, other children gathered around her, they were between the age of two and fourteen, dozens of them were part of her little group. She eyed their tattered clothes and skinny bodies and squared her shoulders. She would make her own power, she would make sure that no-one ever posed a danger to her mom or dad ever again.

Apoch's Twilight
"Reincarnated Into My Half-Finished Isekai VRMMO Tabletop RPG" Once upon a time, there was a boy named Bull. Bull fancied himself something of a writer and game designer, and had half-created a homebrew roleplaying game for himself and some friends called Apoch’s Twilight. It was a perpetual work-in-progress, as Bull only wrote enough to fill in whatever gaps he needed to run the game for his friends. Then one day, Bull was hit by a truck. Bull should have looked both ways before crossing the street. Bull wakes up at a character creation screen, with an AI prompting him to create a character. The name of the game he’s creating a character for? Apoch’s Twilight. Say what? I plan to update weekly, give or take, while staying a couple chapters ahead for my Patrons. Thanks for reading! -- Bull
