Advertisement
(now we have our background, lets go to our main character)
In the Kingdom of Salutem lived a caring prince, that was lovedundefined by his subjects and his people. His name was Bram, he lived trying to obtain knowledge and respect in his kingdom. He didnt care about fame or glory, he only cared about trying to help his kingdom continue prospering and having a stable economy.
Prologue 1
----Inside the palace, in the alchemy lab----
Bram: “HAHAHAAHA, FINALY. Scholars said it might work in theory, however i made it become a fact. However this invention is too dangerous, well ill keep it in the treasury and wont sell it to the other kingdoms. Might as well show it to father and mother, i bet they will go insane!
Maid: Prince Bram, The king wishes to see right away.
Bram: Hmm, Oh Great! Just the person i was looking for. Might as well take this with me and clean up.
-----POV King Jeffrey---
King Jeffrey: hmm, Bram seems to be spending more time in his god forsaken lab... he needs to go out more, maybe try find himself a girl or something.
Queen Ellise: Honey you know, how he is. I highly doubt that would ever happen. He cares more about the kingdom and his subjects more than anything else. Also he enjoys inventing things more than human interactions.
King Jeffrey: sigh....thats exactly the problem, he needs to go out more, try to be more sociable. So he wont get hurt by the people around him in the future. He needs to prepare himself. He is my only heir!
The nobles inside the room, can only smile a dry smile. All their daughters tried seducing him. Yet, they werent able to attract him. They even started rumors, proclaiming he is gay! Even the commoners know this!
Queen Ellise: well lets talk about that later, didnt you tell the maid to call for him?
King Jeffrey: Oh yes indeed, i did. commander Micheal, did you inform the maid to call my son?
Commader Micheal: Yes sire, i called for him. He shall be here shortly.
“Creek”
Huge golden doors open and a handsome young man enters. Looks around his twenties, has light purple eyes and blonde hair. Tall and slime, not to thin yet not too skinny. The man walks up to the king and queen goes down on one of his knees and says.
Prince Bram: Prince Bram, greets king jeffrey and queen Ellise.

King Jeffrey and Queen Ellise, smile with warmth at their lovingundefined son. He was never arrogant always caring and respectable, however a bit antisocial.
The nobles, nevertheless can only nods their heads at him. As in acknowledging his existence. Even though they tried more than once trying to get close to him. They never succeeded. Thus they can only curse him in their minds.
King Jeffrey: Rise son, no need for formalities. We are after a family, aint that right my queen.
Queen Ellise amused by her son antics as always smiles mischievously:
Queen Ellise: indeed, maybe a small punishment would help straighten him up a bit. How about i get one of my friends daughters to have a dateundefined with you?
Prince Brams face looses color the extent of become ashen gray, he knows his mother isnt joking. The last time she said something like, he was forced into going out with a snobby princes. Who couldnt stop talking about gossip, and the only reason she talked to him was because his kingdom is rich.....”what a dreadful memory it was, i had to escape by saying that i would be going to the bathroom however, as i went to the bathroom. I had to escape through the window. Bram shivers from that memory.....
King Jeffrey: HAHAHAHAHA come on it wasnt that bad. You didnt even last the whole dateundefined, you jumped out of the window for Gods sake HAHAHAHAHAHAH.
King jeffrey, Queen Ellise, the nobles and even the knights stationed around couldn't help but laugh.
Prince Bram, trying to change the subject as fast as possible:
Prince Bram: Dad, mom i made a new potion....
Everyone in the room stopped laughing, they all knew how powerful Brams potions are. They are worth hundreds of gold in the kingdom. Thats one of the reasons the nobles tried getting close. They wanted the recipes of his potions to start exporting it and make a fortune....However, he would not agree. Even the noble John tried, but Bram simply refused him without care. He didnt even give him face!
King Jeffrey: So, what is it this time? Immortality potion? I wouldnt be suprised, if that was it, your potions are a bit of a cheat in a way..... a bit too powerful if i might add.
Prince Bram: Ha.....well this potion is a tad bit more powerful than the rest.....its a regeneration potion. It can speedundefined up the process of healing and can even regenerate lost body parts, however thats still in theory. I havent tested the regeneration of lost limbs. However i was thinking of keeping the potions in the treasury, also why not make it a royal family exclusive thing.

Everyone in the room goes silent. A potion that can regenerate lost body parts???!!!!
Everyone in the room: WHATTT!!!
Prince Bram: hehehe....yeah....
King Jeffrey: Coughs.....This cant be sold.....Everyone in this chamber is not to say a word if they do, they will be executed by the imperial law!
Everyone nods, yet a bunch of the nobles can only start planning on how to get their hands on such a potion. Needles to say there is one noble, the one most trusted by the king, who has his eyes sparkling with anticipation. He nods at some of the nobles, he trusts signaling to them, that there will be a meeting.
Prince Bram: Father, mother id like to give the both of you these two potions.
King Jeffrey: Oh...well it sure is tempting.
Queen Ellise: You sure outdone yourself this time...however if this information leaks out i cant even imagine what would happen...
Prince Bram: Dont worry, that wont happen. I wont make more of these potions, i already destroyed the evidence of such a thing even existing in the lab. Only the kingdom treasury will have a couple sets of potions.
-------POV nobles at nigh meeting under the graveyard----
Noble Steeve: So, what did you call us this time John? Is it about the potion, you know its impossible to get our hands on it.
Noble Drick: I agree, that god forsaken prince will never share it with us!
Noble John: Dont worry we dont need him....
The room falls into silence.
Noble Steve:..... What do you mean?
Noble John: we can sell the information to the kingdom of Bellum. You know how they are.
Noble John Smiles menacingly.
The nobles think about it, the plan does sound good. However how are they going to contact the king of Bellum?
Noble Drick: The plan does sound tempting, neverthless how are you going to contact the king?
The nobles agree with Drick, the plan does sound amazing however there is that problem.
Noble john: No worries, ive had some bussiness transactions with the king. He will trust my word. Ive already sent a knight to report to him.
All the nobles smile with glee.
------POV Knight Shon at the commanders office-----
Knight Shon: Commander, im going to go to see my family. I havent seen them in a while ill be back within a week. Can i have my wage for this month?
Commander micheal: Hmm... it has been a while hasn't it. Well sure you can leave, heres 5gold for your wage this month. Try not to spend it in the brothel.
Knight shon cracks a grin and leaves without saying a word.
However as the knight was leaving the commander changed his facial expression to a cold one. He has been suspecting this knight for a while, a knight who drinks and goes to brothels!? Also proclaims he has a family outside the city? However when the commander was out hunting with his squad, he was close to the knights housing. So he decided to stop by and share some of the wild beasts he hunted. Neverthless, when he approached the house there was no one there. The place was abandoned and seemed abandoned for more than a year....Thus commander has been suspicious and has been sending out spies to follow knight Shon.
Commader Micheal: You god damn bastard.....you think, im not on to you. Going out to the kingdom of Bellum making transaction and selling our kingdoms secrets!!! Ill tell the prince, he’s the only one who is not busy.
Kinght Shon a while later is seen speedingundefined off with his horse out of the kingdom, going to the kingdom of Bellum. After several days of traveling, he reaches the kingdom. As soon as he enters the kingdom, he speedsundefined off to the castle. As he nears the castle, he gets off his horse.
Knight Shon: LONG LIVE THE KING!
Castle Guard: LONG LIVE THE KING! Cross his arm at his chest.
Knight Shon does the same, however theres a medal he holds as identification a symbol of a man with an axe slaughtering men.
As soon the guard sees the symbol, he immediately bows and opens the way.
Knight Shon soon enters the castle and goes straight to the king Ron.
As he was walking inside, the knight didn't even check his surroundings the whole time he was traveling, in spite of having been trained by the knights! Within the crowds was a single man staring at the knight entertaining palace. Without a word the man left in a hurry with a troubled face.

Redshirt: The Journey
Freedom and Order. Peace and War. Love and Hate. Hundreds of young children awaken in a damaged world, on the brink of societal collapse, witnessing the birth of an omnipotent system. Their roles are pre-determined, yet the very fabric of reality lie in their hands. The order of the world shapes them, just how they are free to shape the world in their disparate visions. Each choice, each action, each word, has consequences that reach far beyond their perception. Freedom or Order; ashes in the wind, or the gilded chains. Updates at least every Monday, Thursday, and every other Sarturday, (from 26/11/2021). This is primarily a story exploring what it means to be human, using a lens of a hopefully real-feeling fantasy world. This story is not a power fantasy or a traditional Litrpg , while it has elements of these genres, it will focus on how these tropes would influence real people and possibly Redshirt will break some of these tropes along the way. There will be a variety of different characters and perspectives, some you hate, some you love, and some that will frustrate. Just as all people do. I don't believe there will be anything overly traumatic or explicit, but it's better to be safe than sorry. There will be some heavy topics explored, the characters views do not reflect the authors; however, if there is an issue in how I present/understand these issues please do tell me, and I will try my best to rectify it.

Curious Tales: Assorted Fantastical Fiction
These are a collection of my short stories which don't feature gender bending front and center but do involve horrors, fantastical delights, and weird surprises. They may involve something as simple as a house on a swamp overlooking the dreams of the past or a byzantine battle between time travelers for what they see as the "right" timeline. And be as shiver-inducing as being locked in a school at night with disembodied shadows or as sweet as an old stuffed animal with a special secret.
