《My Hermit Life》Chapter 1 - Backstory ( Info Dump )
Advertisement
Solomon had always been a weird fellow, from the time he was born to the time he left planet Earth. The day he was born, he didn't cry, instead he looked around curious, as though he could understand everything. When they saw him the nurses and his parents thought he was mentally handicapped or perhaps dead, but they were later relieved to find out he was perfectly fine.
As he started growing up Solomon seemed to learn at a pace normal for children, but his parents would of sworn that he was knew everything but pretended he didn't. While he was growing up Solomon instead of playing would workout and even do yoga. When asked he would say that it felt good and that is why he did it instead of playing.
Thanks to his outcast personality Solomon was often bullied. Different from most bullied children though Solomon fought back and ended up breaking the bones of three of his bully's. He was no longer bullied after that. After his first fight Solomon seemed to have enjoyed the rush it gave him, so he start going around his school and neighborhood looking for fights.
This lead to him beating up multiple kids his age and older he even brought a middle schooler to tears when he was in only the third grade. At that point neither his parents nor the school could take it and sent him to a bording school. There Solomon was tortured until he was disciplined, though it took a straight year before he reigned in his real personality to fit in.
After that he was kept for a few years until he was twelve where he was eventually released. Now most would think that a child would be happy to see their parents after what Solomon went through, but not him, he distanced himself as though he was a tenant living in their house and not their child. He even got a job license and a job so that he could pay for his own food.

His mom would cry while his father resented him, but Solomon never broke. Eventually he even ran away when he was fifteen. He ended up living under a bridge for a month before he was found by police. The only reason he let himself be found was becuase the commotion it had been causing around town. Solomon had really enjoyed himself during that time, becuase he was hiding from his parents, the police, and pedestrians all at the same time.
After that Solomon's parents tried getting him to open up, but Solomon would instead talk less. They would try getting him to do things together and he would not. They once went on a family roadtrip to a family camp thing that was supposed to help family relationships. Solomon ended up walking 73.4 miles to get back to his house.
Now it couldn't be said that Solomon hated his parents. Rather, it could be said he loved them. He did however begrudge them. They had never let Solomon be himself. When they sent him to the boarding school he disliked them more. He couldn't understand why they wanted him to be tortured like he was.
Other than his parents, Solomon loved the rest of his family as well. Though, due to his odd personality and boarding school discipline, Solomon wasn't able to show his love in a normal way. He always looked out for his little brothers, and if the ever got into trouble he took the fall for them. Towards his sister, Solomon would always spend time with her. When she was practicing her violin, and nobody could stand being near her, Solomon would listen to her play for hours.
Eventually Solomon opened up a little and got himself a girlfriend who seemed to have made him more open and happy. But she cheated on him. When he found out Solomon almost beat the man she cheated on him with to death. But he was merciful and left him in a mini coma.

At that time Solomon was arrested, but he was released three years later once he turned eighteen. During his time in jail his parents would visit him once a month, his oldest younger brother would visit him once a year, his sister three times a month and his youngest brother would visit at the same time his parents did.
During that time Solomon became closer to his sister who seemed to have the same quite temper he did. She would even train without him forcing her to, much to her parent's and older brother's dislike. They were scared she would turn out like Solomon.
Once he left Juvy, Solomon got a job for a year in a library where he read likely hundreds maybe thousands of books. His favorite books apart from crafting books were books about war. Whether they be fictional or non-fictional he loved the thought of being a hero protecting the people of his nation, so he joined ther army.
He ended up spending seven years in the army. During his time there Solomon had hundreds of confirmed kills and he was even on a list for multiple countries who weren't friendly with America. While in the military Solomon's training was also brought to a new all time high, this was because he met multiple men of similar likes to him who would drive him to go harder and longer. Thanks to that Solomon reached what could have been called the peak of human fitness on Earth. He also gained many friends who he would of died for, he almost did multiple times too.
It was one of those times that Solomon had jumped on a random explosive and lost both his legs. At that time he was forced out of the army, even though he begged to stay even as only a cook. But he was rejected and forced back to the states where he lived with his sister for a year. She was happy to have him with her, but Solomon was depressed and relying on his little sister and her husband made it worse. So he spent a year saving up using his veterans check and the money he was given from the government for multiple achievements to buy a small plot of land in the country. He then hired a small team of people to make him a house out there and that was where he spent around a year.
That was until he met a girl and moved in with her. Solomon had been happy, truly happy, that was until she cheated on him. With his oldest younger brother no less.
Solomon despite having no legs had jumped from his wheelchair with only arm strength, ripped his brother from the girl an started to wail on him. He didn't kill him or put him into a coma, Solomon only knocked him out. He also punched the girl a few times while she tried pulling Solomon off of his brother.
In the end Solomon thought he was going to go back to jail, but he didn't. Since he didn't Solomon went back to his mountain home where he spent his final years on Earth in anger and depression.
Now many had thought Solomon died, but his body was never found. Thanks to rumors spread by his sister Solomon actually became a local legend. She thought that the quite but mischievous Solomon would like to be the target of children's fear. In reality though Solomon was instead summoned to a new world by a Goddess who told him.
" Solomon Ars Regis, you are not fit with your current world, instead you'd be much better suited to mine. Will you come with me? "
Solomon of course answered.
" Yes. "

8 311Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.
