《The World is My Playground》Chapter 4 : The Plan
Advertisement
While we were waiting for Ruby to heal up, i started getting hungry and asked if there were any plants that were edible to which Ruby pointed out that there was a few bushes with some berries that we could eat.
After walking for maybe a minute, i found the berries that she was talking about. They looked like normal blueberries so i took a couple and shoved them into my mouth. They tasted just as sweet as blueberries which only caused me to eat even more of them.
Ruby - Ahem….
David - Oh, sorry, hehe. Here ya go.
I grab a few berries and hand feed them to Ruby while she is still nestled in my arm. After we snacked on the blueberries, i took some leaves and vines and crudely crafted a four small pouches to which i filled with as many blueberries as i could.
Crudely Made PouchType:bagDurability:25 / 25Quality:poorA very poorly made pouch. This thing could break at any moment.

David - Cool, i wonder how much more EXP i need in order to level up?

David - Oh, well that was helpful.
So Ruby, about these “Corrupted ones”, what are they?
Ruby - I don’t really know myself master. They just suddenly appeared from a hidden dungeon and caused a panic throughout the monster community.

David - Monster community? The heck is that?
Ruby - The monster community is an alliance of monsters that have agreed to join forces to fight against the corrupted ones as well as any other monsters that may want to do us harm.
David - So there are different monsters working together to stay alive from stronger monsters? Sounds legit.
Ruby - Yes, but recently there has been infighting within the alliance. The different monsters have been fighting over how to handle the corrupted ones and this has led to everyone fighting each other instead of the true enemy. The jungle wolves have been extremely problematic at the moment. They have been demanding that the alliance simply charge into the dungeon and kill whatever it is that is causing all of this to happen.
David - Well why doesn’t the alliance follow with that plan?
Ruby - The alliance is hesitant with following with the jungle wolve’s plan because the corrupted already outnumber us 2 to 1 just by what we can see, and who know how many more of them are in their dungeon.
David - That is a problem. About how many are in this alliance.
Ruby - The alliance is currently made up of around 80 Horned Rabbits, 55 Jungle Wolves, and 35 Vine Serpents.
David - So that makes it around 170, and if there’s a difference of 2 to 1, then that makes the enemy number at around 340 plus however many are hidden in the dungeon.
Mira - Might i make a recommendation for a plan of action?
David - Sure, whatcha got for us Mira?
Mira - Seeing as your goal is to take over this world, you could begin taming more monsters to get stronger and then use that strength to have the Monster Alliance become a part of your monster army. After you strengthen your army by gaining more monsters and using your abilities to evolve them, you should be strong enough to beat the corrupted and then take over this island for yourself.
David - Hmm, sounds like a good plan to me. Let's go hunt us some monsters.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

Genso Suikoden: Worlds Collide
The story is set in the Queendom of Falena, the universe of the JRPG game Suikoden V. Though technically a monarchy, the aristocracy holds so much power within Falena that their squabbles and power-plays threaten to de-stablise the whole country. Complicating matters is the presence of the Sun Rune, an royal artifact of apocalyptic power and one of the 27 True Runes in the world of Suikoden. The main character is the Prince of Falena, Freyjadour, who is an unimportant figurehead not in line to the throne. During one of his royal inspections, he meets Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Erza who are a part of an alternate universe (Fairy Tail) and helps them find a way back to their home. Little do they know that it's not only them who came to this world… [This is basically a novelization of the game but with different twists due to the multiple crossovers. Therefore, there is no need to know any of the fandoms involved in this story. This will read like an actual novel itself. The universe and the characters are not owned by me.]
