《My Hermit Life》Chapter 24
Advertisement
In a certain clearing in a massive forest of Gods there is currently a free-for-all battle going on between a centaurion, two dragons, and a monkey dragon that looks oddly like a human. These four are Solomon, Loretta, Alastair, and Gabbrielle. They were currently battleing inside a formation that makes all their stats an even 1000.
" Man I thought you guys would actually be a challenge considering how old you are all compared to me. I litterally dont even have to move and yall still cant hit me. "
" Youre lucky that my stats are limited or I could break through your shitty Barrier Magic easier than an arrow through glass. "
" If I was fighting someone 1000 years younger than me I could to. "
As the two men bickered back and forth the Centaurion and the female dragon were both preparing a magic to destroy each other.
" You know children in order to call this a free-for-all you cant just team up together. "
" I know Grandma. "
The Instant Solomon said that he trapped Loretta in box of Barrier Magic. After he did that he filled the box with millions of electrical currents. While Solomon was pre-occupied with Loretta, Gabbrielle trapped Alastair using a space magic.
" Great execution sis, I guess with them incapacitated its just you vs me. "
" Yep and for this situation I specifically prepared a formation for restraining you. "
While Solomon and Gabbrielle were bantering back and forth both were preparing trump cards to take down the other person.
" Barrier Seal! "
" Space seal! "
In a surprising turn of events the match ended in a tie, with both Solomon and Gabbrielle sealed.
" Well done children, especially you Solomon, it is very impressive to be able to tie with other Legendary beasts hundreds of years older than you. "
" Thank you grandma your praise brings me happiness. "
" Why must you remain so unfamiliar with me? I have told you multiple times for the past few months to stop being so polite. "
" Then can you help me out of the seal please? "
" Why should I help someone I am not familiar enough to be unformal with? "
" Because that someone is your grandson who will put a good word in to his Master, for someone to have a "date" with. That is is grandma is still into my Master. "
After Solomon said that his grandmother waved her scaled hand allowing him to be free of the space seal.
" You can deal with the other three. "

" Im just going to release Loretta, the other two can free themselves. " Saying that the monkey dragon shrugged his shoulder and released his wife-to-be.
" You ok babe? "
As soon as the female centaur was released she glared at her man and said. " What kind of asshole betrays his fiancee? "
" The competitive kind, I guess. I can tell you are still angry, so how about we cut to the chase and you tell me how I can make it up to you. "
After contemplating for a bit Loretta flashes a grin that sends shivers down Solomons spine. " If you can hold out for five minutes against your mother with both having equal stats I will forgive you. "
The Sexy Dragon that is Solomons grandmother grins and instantly says " How about you lower the time limit to two minutes and have him verse me? "
" OOOO that is perfect Grandmother-in-law, that is the best thing I have heard today. Thank you Grandma for helping me discipline my honey. "
" Its fine child, after all us ladies have to stick together. "
Throughout this whole conversation the poor monkey boys complexion gets paler and paler, until eventually he feels light-headed.
" Alright boy-o get your butt over here, you are in for the ride of a lifetime! "
After both got into position and were ready to fight Loretta finally decided to start the countdown
" 3! 2! 1! GO! "
The instant she said go Donec launched herself straight at Solomon. Solomon though was prepared for this and held up his 6' long wooden bo-staff. When Donec was in range Solomon jabbed the staff directly for his grandmothers gut, unfortunately though his attack was side stepped. After expertly dodging Solomons strike Donec moved into close range in order to land a hit on Solo. Solomon though wasnt having none of that and instantly jumped back while sweeping his staff at Donecs legs, effectively tripping her. Solomon not being one to lose a chance tried to connect a hit on his grandmothers gut area once again. Unfortunately Donec used Space Magic while her body performed an almost physic defying roll. After she was safely on her feet Donec used space magic to increase pressure surrounding Solomon making it harder to stand let alone walk or attack. Donec using her newly gained advantage to move in for a strike towards Solomons wide open chest. Solomon would odviously not be completely helpless and used his own Space Magic to not only Negate his grandmothers but to also loosen the space around her throwing her off of her balance. Seeing Donec off balance Solomon used his Wood Magic to increase the length off his staff making the end ram into Donecs back. Seing his advantage Solomon continues attacking ferociously repeatedly hitting his grandmother in various spots. He even used his Barrier Magic to crush her while electrocuting her.

" TIME! "
When Solomon heard that he suddenly felt as though he awoke from a deep sleep. After looking around in curiousity Solomon finally decided to speak up.
" What just happened? "
" I used Illusion Magic on you boy. And I was watching the whole fight and I have to say, WHAT THE HELL? I am you grandmother and yet you still attacked me so visciously, you didnt even try to feel me up. I swear you are wierd. "
Solomon nervously shuffled for a bit before thinking up a good excuse. " It must have been your magic acting up, because I would never hit my grandmother let alone so savagely. "
" Uh-huh you know you are lucky I was being nice or I could have whooped your butt so hard your cheeks would be like pancakes. "
" Then its a good thing I have such a benevolent grandmother. Anyway, since I technically lasted three minutes you legally have to forgive me now Loretta. "
" Says who? " Said a certain female cantaur with the cutest pouty look to have ever graced the planet.
" Says my beautiful fiancee one night when she got drunk. "
Loretta having her curiosity peaked decides to humour him a little. " What are you talking about? "
" Yeah I recall that not long ago a very pretty lady got drunk and started laying down some rules. When she was questioned she even tried arresting her poor poor fiancee yelling " I am the law, nobody can question me! " I gotta say that lady was pretty wild, I wouldnt break her rules if I was you. "
" Alright alright I forgive you, but you are cooking me dinner tonight. I also want a date with just the two of us. "
" That sound wonderful. Honestly after sparring with you and my cousins so much recently I have been wanting a break. How about we meet at the shack at around 8 o'clock. "
" Alright that sounds wonderful. I will see you there. "
" Alright see ya babe. "
After saying that they both go seperate ways Solomon even walks off with a little spring in his step.
6 hours later
" Hello pretty lady, follow me and I will show you to your table. "
" Solo why are you acting like this? "
" I dont know I thought it would be romantic. I guess it didnt work though. "
Loretta after shaking her head confirming his statement decided to say " If you just act like yourself I will be happy you know. Solomon we have been together for five years you should know me well enough by now to know that I dont like that kind of stuff. I just want us to spend time together and be happy. "
" I know, but Im just a helpless romantic and cant help it sometimes. "
" I wouldnt mind it if you were actually romantic, least by my standards. "
" I could do that if your romantic wasnt hidden deep in enemy territory or killing millions of living beings or burning down entire forests. Actually though I do have something you might like. Follow me. "
After saying that Solomon smirked and started walking towards a new shed Loretta had never seen before. Loretta of course being curious followed him. After walking in Loretta could only see some lines engraved on the floor.
" What the hell is this place Solomon, this looks like some evil cult house. "
" Oh settle down just step onto the formation. "
Despite being Skeptical Loretta still did as she was told and stepped in the middle of the formation along with Solomon. After both of them stepped into the formation Solomon activated it using some Mana. After he activated the formation they suddenly appeared ontop of a mountain which was surrounded by a massive burning forest filled with the screams of hundreds of thousands if not millions dying creatures.
" Solo what the hell is this? "
" Well I figured I could try tickleing your romantic side. I set up this formation when we decided to have a date earlier, I had been planning this for awhile I figured now was the perfect time. I even made it to where we can eat a picnic while enjoying the ambiance, though the food wont actually provide any sustanance. "
While looking around amazed Loretta couldnt help but tell Solomon a few compliments. " Solomon you have outdown yourself this time. I cant believe you were able to accompolish something so amazing. Honestly Im astounded. "
" Well when it comes to making you happy I can go above and beyond my limits. Anyway lets enjoy the scenery and eat. "
Both of them smiled snuggled up on the pic-nic blanket and just watched the world burn.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

Extermination Order
So it turns out that anime got something right: If you get hit by a truck, you're going to another world. Dennis became subject to that unknown quirk of reality when crossing a busy city street (despite having looked both ways). But that was quite some years ago. He's been around this new world 'Nassur' a time or two and knows how to live a good life. He also knows that adventuring friggin sucks. So, what is a man to do in a fantasy world with a shoddy leveling system that constantly suggests getting more XP, and a condition set by the gods that you must make the world a better place? Pest extermination. But reality is often fickle. Perhaps one day it is only rats, another, mechanical centipedes with lasers. Maybe the Dark Lord needs a shoulder to cry on because his dungeon simply can't be ready in time for the adventurers he likes to do battle against. Another poor soul from Earth could appear just as dazed and confused as the day you'd first arrived, requiring a good long talk about 'hey, what the hell is this, man'. And maybe... just maybe, that thick book of owed favors comes back to haunt you. For a man who desires a peaceful, productive life, Dennis can find it rather difficult for a week to go by where something doesn't go awry. This series originally started on r/HFY, [Link] but I decided to post it here since people are so positive about it! Posting rate is, and likely will continue to be, rather inconsistent.

Soten (Book I in The Saga of Mira the Godless)
Anyone on the Isle will say Lady Mira caused the Twenty Years' War. While they're at it, they'll call her a witch, a whore, or a heathen, maybe all three in the same breath. Soten is Mira's version of the story. Captive in a Northern village, Mira expects brutality from the rough climate and harsh Northerners. Instead, she discovers a land where people speak their thoughts out loud, where women are free to be with any they desire, and those who divine messages from the gods are listened to, not burnt at the stake. Mira's idyllic new life is threatened when she hears of her brother's growing army to the south; she doesn't need rescuing; she's far too attached to the life she's building (and the lighthearted raider who is quickly becoming a central part of it). Then she meets Arik, the enigmatic Norsern king, a man who has drastic plans for next season's raids, plans that involve the sister of a great southern commander. To Mira, this is a story about love. To the rest of the world, it is a story about war. Book II: KAKEN coming soon!
