《Re:Asura》Chapter 19: Warrior's Guild
Advertisement
[First chapter of the day. Enjoy!]
"The name's Khara. What's yours?" Khara asked, looking at the ordinary-looking newcomer.
"Asura."
As Asura and Khara chatted idly while partaking in the dishes on the table, Asura found out quite a few things from Khara. In the Blackfire Orphanage, the children are free to do whatever they want, so long as they did not cause trouble for others. They can also go outside of the Blackfire Orphanange, but they must come back before sundown. Otherwise, they will be grounded for a week.
Upon hearing this, Asura was somewhat relieved, as he had been thinking of sneaking out of the orphanage to go to the Warrior's Guild.
Also, the orphans at Blackfire Orphanage are not allowed to idle all day. Every evening, they are assigned to their respective tasks, such as tending to the garden flowers, cleaning the mansion floors, etc. This rule was made to promote cleanliness and hygiene among the children.
Lastly, the Warrior's Guild at District 4 provides free warrior training to anyone, so that anyone can be given basic skills to defend themselves against low leveled magical beasts. However, the training provided there cannot be compared to those that are provided at the various Schools around the Kingdom of Blackfire.
After finishing his breakfast, Asura excused himself and walked out of the Dining Hall, towards the mansion entrance.
"Oh my, you're going out so early?" Nanny Lan was trimming the flowers at the garden, and spotted Asura coming out of the mansion.
"Yep! I want to look around the districts. See you later, Granny Nan!" Asura smiled, and ran out of the gates.
"Eh?" As Asura passed by Nanny Lan, she suddenly got the feeling that she had known him from somewhere, but could not put her finger on it. Thinking that it was part and parcel of becoming old, she quickly dismissed the thought, but her heart still felt somewhat uneasy.

Following the directions to the Warrior's Guild that was given to him by Khara, Asura finally arrived at the Warrior's Guild after 20 minutes of walking. As he approached the massive temple that stood at approximately 50 metres in height, he could see six statues of fierce looking warriors on each side of the temple, each of them holding a different weapon. As if they were guarding the temple, the statues were all giving off an air of intimidation.
As Asura entered the Warrior's Guild, he could see multitudes of muscular men armed with weapons of all sorts. Some of them were looking at a large wooden board hung on a wall, full of wanted posters and missions such as hunting down a particular magical beast, while there were others who were shouting out at the top of their lungs.
"Last slot for a four man party to hunt a 6th level magical beast at the Valley of Magical Beasts!"
"Looking for a partner to help with a 3 star ranked escort mission!"
Pushing his way through the crowd while earning strange looks in the process, Asura finally reached the reception corner that was being attended by a woman that seemed to be in her forties. "How can I help you, young man?" The receptionist asked when she saw Asura approach the reception desk.
Upon hearing her words, some of the nearby warriors started to snicker.
Reaching into the patched robe that was given by Nanny Lan, Asura took out the jade ring and raised his hand forward, letting the receptionist take a good look at it. "I need someone who can help me identify this ring."
"Please head to the third floor, and ask for Appraiser Dior." The receptionist replied monotonously, not paying Asura much attention. Suddenly raising her head as if she noticed something, her eyes narrowed as she took a closer look at the boy, with a look of disdain on her face.
"Did you bring money?"

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?

A frail and petite girl defied the Lords to take what is rightfully hers .
8 130Luster
Growing up with her recently deceased mother’s addiction and her own struggles with gender identity, June Fujiwara was not a nice person. Gaining powers from nearly being murdered didn’t change that, and neither did becoming a mercenary to fund her transition. It took horrific manipulation, the resulting trauma, and the family that helped her through it all. Luster is a derivative work based on Worm by Wildbow (John C. McCrae) that begins prior to Worm and although it doesn't show straight away, the story is very AU.
