" So Solomon I just got back from visiting mom and dad, and they want to know when we are having a wedding. "
" Im down whenever to hold it you are, although we are going to have to do alot of planning. "
" We dont have to start now, its just weve been bethrothed for nearly six years. Mom is in a rush and even dad wants to get it going. "
" Im sorry I have just been so focused on my training. Tell ya what, lets set aside the entirety of next week and we can plan everything. Unless of course you want to wait a few more months, I just want you to be happy alright babe. "
" Thank you for setting aside time for us to sort this out. I know how much of a training maniac you are. I appreciate you thinking about me. How about you and I do next weeks date early, we can even go visit human territory or something."
" We should visit the elves, I heard they sell dead wood off of the world trees. I want to get some and maybe make a goblet. No you know what I am totally making a pipe, I bet world tree would make great flavoring for pipes. "
" Why do you like smoking so much, the stuff you smoke doesnt even get you high. Maybe if you were a weaker race you would but even then whats the point. "
" I dont smoke to get high I smoke for the flavor. Its just like how master drinks alcohol even though he cant get drunk. "
" Alright we can go to elven lands, but we are staying the night in the world tree inns. Also dont focus on working so much while we are there, it will be a date after all. Anyway how has training been, how about we appraise each other? "
" Sure appraise. "
" Appraise. "

" Damn girl, you are insanely fast. Youre faster than that douche Anus when he has sex. "
Solomon had a mix of an impressed impression as well as a I hate that dude and wish he would just die already impression.
Hearing what Solomon said her face was full of dis belief at Solomons rediculous jealousy. Though at the same time she was kind of happy that he was over protective, she still didnt want to be smothered. Though she also knew that Solomon wasnt entirely to blame since its in his being to be protective, Loretta just didnt know how to feel so she went with default dis belief.
" Are you seriously still on that guy. He has hit on me like three times and thats it. "
" He has hit on you over twenty times, and thats when I am around. I swear I am going to knock him out as soon I can. "
" Why do you care so much its not like I am going to leave you for him. I mean even if I wanted to my parents wouldnt allow it, your parents wouldnt allow it, Master wouldnt allow it. Hell Deam is the only person I think that would be happy if we broke up.I think shes just jealous of us though, I swear the way she looks at you is like a female animal in heat. "
" Oh how the hell did you make this about Deam, we dont even meet each other unless youre there. "
It was now Solomons turn to have an expression of dis belief, though in a manner similar to Loretta he went from disbelief to happiness to not blaming Loretta all the way back to dis belief.
Loretta just shook her head and decided to drop the matter while asking him to do the same.
" Yeah whatever, maybe we should go on our date earlier. Stop all this fightin talk. "
" Yeah screw it lets go. Ill grab some money off of Master if you want to prepare your saddle. "
" Sure. "
Seventeen hours later and Solomon and Loretta ride up onto elf territory, where the grass is always green and the ass is always flat. ( I tried my best to make a pun please excuse the cringe. )
" It always amazes me how the grass doesnt die on the roads around here. Anyways babe Im going to go buy some world tree wood, you go book us an inn. "
" Alright, lets meet here in an hour."
" Sounds great. "
Like this both walked onto seperate dirt roads each in search of their own goals, Solomon world tree wood Loretta a decent inn.
' Now if I was wood from an acient powerful tree where would I get sold. I doubt any street stalls would have any, or at least not enough. I guess I can ask a local. "
Solomon sees a tall djinni man walking down the grassy dirt road and decides to ask him.
" Hey, Im new around here do you know where I can buy some wood from a world tree? "
" Sure what kind of tree do you want it off of? There are various types of world trees. "
" I didnt know that, then I guess I want something fragrant and easy to carve, maybe easy to enchant. "
" Hmm then youll want some olive wood variant. That is some of the best stuff around for carving and enchanting. If you want to buy any youll have to walk about 4 blocks that way and then youll see a store that should have a few specialty woods like that. It will be fairly expensive though so make sure you have enough, the owner doesnt like people wasting his time. "

" Thank you sir, you are a huge help. Have a great day. "
' Even though I never worked with olive wood in my last life I heard that it was a pretty nice to work with. Itll definetly make a good pipe for me to use. I hope I have enough money for the wood though, itd suck if I didnt. "
Solomon follows the directions that the djinni gave him sees a huge brick and wood store. The store is a perfect mix of red brick and a bone-ish white, with a red sign on the front that reads " I've got wood. "
' What a charming name for a store, I can tell that the owner is a man of great culture. '
When Solomon walks in he is greeted by a tall thin elf. She is at least 7' tall and has very little feminine charm that one would hope from an elf. The only reason he know she is a female is her slightly wide hips and 1' long blade like ears. Modern culture was pretty wrong about elves being life loving tree huggers, the elves in Solomons new can be apex hunters, though usually they are much like humans and stay in cities. Elves also have little difference between genders and if isnt wasnt for the purpose of breeding there would likely be zero difference.
" Hello sir how may I help you today? "
" Yes I would like to purchase some olive wood of the world tree variance. "
" Well we dont have much, may I ask what you need it for? "
" I just want to make a pipe, maybe do a little enchanting on it. "
" Oh then we should have enough for that, let me go grab some blanks from the back. "
" Thank you miss. "
While he waits Solomon starts to think about what he can do for Loretta on his date.
' I wonder what I can do for Loretta on this date. Odviously I will take her out to dinner, then maybe a bit of clothes shopping, after that maybe I can give her a massage and brush her mane. She always likes when I give her a massage. '
While thinkingsuch thoughts the female elf walks back out to the front from the back. She was carrying a few blanks of wood that dont actually look that different from regular wood.
" Alright sir I have a decent sized branch that should be plenty for a pipe, it will be 7 diamond. "
' Thats another thing modern entertainment got wrong. The universal currency is Mana minerals various types of expensive gems from my old world.The Mana minerals include diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and multiple others. All are stuffed with Mana to be counted as actual currency and so that people cant have basically free money if they get lucky. Though mom and dad have told me that there are big gangs that will purchase raw minerals and then use self infuse them for easy money. I guess it can be something to look into if I get good at infusing.
" Have a nice day sir, I hope you get good use out of the wood. "
" Thank you mam I hope you have a nice day as well. Oh by the way do you happen to know any good restraunts around here, I would like to take my girlfreind out on a nice date. "
" Umm about 7 blocks down there is a popular couples restraunt. Im sure she would love it. "
" Thanky you mam have a nice day. "
' Welp I guess it is about time to to get to the town entrance in order to meet Loretta. I hope she hasnt had any problems, I know some jackasses can be rascist in these humanoid areas. Though I am sure she could sort out anybody that isnt 30 levels higher than her. I just dont know if I should take her clothes shopping or maybe I can try to find some entertainment around here, well Im sure I will figure it out as we go. '
While he was walking along he hears light clops walk up behind him but he ignores them since he knew Loretta likes to play around with him occeasionally and he didnt want to ruin her fun. And like he guessed she did mess with him a little but Solomon had to mess back.
" Guess who? "
" Deam is that you sweetcheecks? Ah shit why did you hit me Loretta? "
After getting hit Solomon mocked pain even though Loretta basically tapped him. Though any casual tap from Loretta could break a normal humans bones.
" Its what you get for your shitty joke. Trying to tease me like that. "
" Alright sorry babe, how about I make it up to you by taking you out to dinner. I heard about this decent couples restraunt rite down the street. "
" Fine lets go but I am going to decide where we go after dinner. "
Hearing that Solomon sighed in relief as he really didnt know where to go after dinner.
" Perfect, I was freaking out trying to decide where to go. By the way did everything go alright trying to find a hotel? "
" Yep everything went perfect, though I did get a few stares as is usual. "
" Well its not every day somebody sees a girl as pretty as your self. "
" You should know by now that such shallow words will not woo me. "
" Yeah but every guy loves telling his girlfriend shes pretty. "
" Fine you can have a few browney points, just because Im in a good mood. They will make up the ones you lost with your crappy joke about Deam. "
" Oh god damnit, ' Sigh ' at least I didnt lose any I guess. Anyway it looks like we are here. "
" Sweet I am hungry. "
" Hi I would like to have a table for two. "
" Your mount must stay in the stable sir, and will your date be meeting you here later tonight sir? "
" What do you mean mount this beautiful lady is my date. "
" Sorry but we dont except non-humanoids around here sir. "
" Are you fucking kidding me, how the hell is something like this accepted?! "
" Its fine Solo we can just find somewhere else. "
Loretta tried pulling Solomon away but he just shrugged her off. Solomon couldnt stand for such slights against his girlfriend after all, or else how could he dare say he loved her. Loretta being slighted is actually one of Solomons bottom lines and is a subject he has been touchy about since the first time it happened.
" No how dare they say thar they dont accept your kind here. They should be happy you come here. These disgusting pigs arent worth a single hair off your tail. "
" Solomon settle down, how are you any better than them if you are saying stuff like that. "
" ' Huff ' Sorry I know I shouldnt have said that, I dont mean it please forgive me. "
As he apoligizes a short fat male elf walks up. Solomon hopes that the elf can wrap up the rediculous problem.
" Is there a problem here sir? "
" Yeah your hostess said my wife was not accepted around here, and even called her my mount. "
" Sir that is a rule here set by me the restraunt owner. "
Hearing that Solomon looked like he was about to blow his top off. Loretta seeing her mans reaction tried once again to pull him away sadly to no avail.
" Lets go Solomon we can just find somewhere else to eat. "
" You better listen to that mare boy, else Ill have to get the city guard. "
Solomon hearing that instantly started releasing killing intent dense enough to bend the wood planks that made the restraunt.
" Do it and Ill just have my clan demolish this city. "
" You should be careful monkey or else It wont be just your little broodmare that is locked up. "
" Is that a threat fatass, you better be real careful or else food wont be only going down your throat. " ( Basically Solomon is saying he is going to shove food up the dudes ass if he says the wrong thing. )
Hearing this the fat elf turned to the female hostess that originally started the fiasco.
" Alisa go get the city guards would ya. "
" Yes boss. "
" Loretta write to mom and dad would ya. "
" Fine, but Im not calling you boss. "
" Thats fine. "
' Damn I really wish she would of, that would of went straight to the spank bank.'
Despite the serious situation Solomon still had time to joke around apparently.
"" Its done/ Ive called the guards. ""
" Mom and dad should be here soon Solomon. "
" Same for the guards. "
' God this sucks, I really should of just let it go. But what kind of man could put up with that? Whatever, it sucks that Im relying so much on mom and dad. I swear though that as soon as I am level 10 I am going to travel the lands with Loretta conquering countries, discovering the unknown, destroying my enemies. Then millions of years from now I am going to settle down with Loretta and we can become that super powerful hermit couple that trains the main character. When that time comes Ill laugh about this situation while sitting in the ruins of this country. '
" Were here Mr. Giovanni, we heard a few animals got loose form the zoo nearby. "
" Ah captain Wilfred, just in time, yes I would like you to lock up these things. They have caused quite a ruckus in my restraunt. Ill even make your next meal free. "
" You heard him boys lock these things up. Be gentle with the horse I was looking forward to a new mount, though she will be riding me more than I ride her hehehe. "
When the guard captain said that an immense pressure suddenly fell onto the surrounding area and a dangerous voice spoke out.
" I think we have heard enough Shie, what do you think? "
" Plenty. Come here kids, this will be a good lesson for you two. Most humanoids will not like or accept you two. I will take care of the two that caused you the most problems right now, but this is the only time. "
The instant Shie said that Giovanni and Wilfred both got erased from existence, litterally they were there and then they werent.
' This is so sad, I cant even take care of my own problems. Maybe I should drop that mission and just start leveling up, my body should be able to handle it a little now. '
Not knowing of his sons inner plight Han started talking to him giving him a bit of information about the country.
" Solomon the name of this country is called Earziel, dont think about getting revenge until you are at least level 30. There is a level 50 protecting this country which you wont be able to hendle until you are at least Level 30. If you dont eventually get revenge I will be very dissapointed. Now we are bringing you two back to the forest for more training. "
" Yes father. "
Han could tell his son was depressed and tried cheering him up in the only way he knew how.
" Listen Solomon there is no reason to be downcast alright, when you reach you physical limit I am sure that you will be able to handle level 9's. So when you are level 2 if you stay on the limit path and succed, you should be able to slaughter level 9's like a farmer with grass. At level 3 if you are still at it then you might be able to barely kill a level 10. Maybe, but dont count on it. "
" Thanks dad, Ill be honest I was starting to question my path, so this is very handy. Now I just cant wait to grow up. "
Solomon truly was appreciative of his fathers guidance, and felt the warmth that made him nearly want to cry. But Solomon didnt do such an embarrasing thing.
" I have been in your shoes son, the almost same exact thing happened to me when I was younger. 'Course I didnt have a girl with me, but you get the point. Until the day you are twenty I want you to go balls to wall on training skills. That way you wont have to worry about training skills for until you czn no longer progress your physical stats. "
" All right you boys done, Loretta and I have finished our girls talk. "
" We just finished. "
" Umm Loretta I would like to hold off on dates for awhile. Im going into hyper training mode. "
" I was going to say the same thing. Besides we can have dates when we rule a country or two in the future. "
Not only did Solomon grin but so did both of the parents. After all the parents could relate to the situation of their children since they experienced similar ones in the past personaly.
" Alright kids lets go, I hope you remeber this lesson. "
"" Yes Mom/ I will mother. "
" Good. "

Binary Soul
So let's say there's this girl. A young girl who happens to be a highly-trained, psionically-gifted, nanite-infused, genetically-enhanced and emotionally unstable assassin that doesn't know the concept of 'mercy' or 'holding back.' Let's say she and her imaginary friend miraculously pass through the borders of reality into an alternate universe, crash landing into a world of swords and magic aboard a starship full of high-tech wonders. Now, let's also say the first person this borderline psychopath meets happens to be her doppelganger - a highly gifted mage who happens to have a few problems of her own, like a bad temper or a bad habit of chronic self-delusion. With me so far? Good. Now, what's the on the agenda for these two different people who happen to be the same person? Settle down, start a family and thoroughly enjoy life. Maybe get married and have some kids. How about befriending a violent alcoholic or defeating an ancient evil being? Perhaps kill a few dragons and wreck a city along the way. Anything can happen around the city of Runetap, after all. It's a place where bizarre and strange things occur on an almost weekly basis. The people living there have long abandoned silly things like common sense or minding the details. A giant flaming UFO streaks above the city in broad daylight? That's just another Tuesday. The City Guard even had the form for that, so believe me when I say this. It's your loss if you mind it. This is the light-hearted and fluffy tale of Ellie and Kira as they forge their own path of absurdity and crazyness across a world that often makes little sense. Loosely inspired by the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett, even though the author hasn't actually read any of them. Contains yuri, mature themes and the author's personal views on several subjects. Explicit content is kept to a minimum.Does NOT contain slavery, rape, drugs or any other similarly heavy themes.
