《My Hermit Life》Chapter 2 - First Day ( Info Dump )
Advertisement
During Solomon's reincarnation process Angra Spentas gave him a list of creatures to choose from, to take as his parents. The list included a Fist Boar mother and Orc father. Their was also a Giant father and a Fighting Race mother. Solomon had the option to choose from Dozens of different parent combinations. In the end he chose a God Monkey father and an Ancient Dragon mother.
Hello Solomon, this is Angra Spentas. As you know I reincarnated you in what is originally my world, Spinoza. I am sure you are wondering why I would do such a thing. The reason isn't really anything deep. I just happened to be traveling through an ancient part of our universe. I noticed your world which was supposed to be the ruins of an old powerful kingdom. I noticed that what should have been ruins was inhabited by humans, I also noticed that Mana was extremely sparse. Right when I was about to leave I noticed a little baby who had a unique soul was born. That soul was of course you, I watched you grow and I developed a bit of a connection. So I decided to give you the life that you deserved. Good Luck young man, I hope we meet in the future on equal terms.
After that two more screens popped up.
Class: A job or profession that defines how you live and fight.
Ex: Warrior, a class that mainly fights in close combat
Ex: Preist, a class that prays to a god or goddess for healing and fighting power ( diferent gods or goddesses give different results as do prayers Skills: Skills are particular abilities that an individual has some proficiency in. Skills are not listed until the individual has at least novice level Mastery. Some races have inborn skills (Ex: Divine strength ( father ), Dragons Might ( mother ), DNA Memories ( both parents ) that will sometimes be passed down from generation to generation. Skill Mastery goes 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 all the way up to thirteen. The only exception to that rule are certain passive skills, and few active skills. To check your skills, Stats, race, etc. Please say status.

Saturn checked out his Status. He couldn't really make any ideas about anything. He was obviously Lvl 0 since he done anything to gain experience. His race Was a Tribulation Monkey. Angra Spentas had explained that extremely strong races that create a baby will often create a new race rather than the baby taking on either of the parent's races. She also explained his stats. STR was of course physical strength. AGI was speed and dodging ability. DEX was skill towards crafting and flexibility. INT was memory and learning speed. WIS was critical thinking and imagination. CHA was how pretty or handsome someone was, it could affect certain skills. LUCK affected how often or un-often something lucky or unlucky would happen. While most stats could be raised through training, luck could only be raised through lucky or unlucky circumstances. Though, some races had an inborn ability to raise luck through training.

After examining his stats Solomon moved onto his skills.
Tribulation Lightning - User can call upon lightning bolts that could either attack someone or temper the body. The tempering lightning could be used on user or non-users. Divine Strength - A skill that raises the physical strength of the person who owns the skill. Only granted to races that having something to do with divinity or the heavens. Dragon's Might - Dragons are beings renowned for not only their magical prowess, but also their physical strength. This skill is the personification of a dragon's might. Foot Dexterity - A skill granted only to races that can use their feet as well as their hands. Can be granted to certain individuals after much training. Mortal Martial Arts - A broad scope of the Martial Arts developed by bipedal mortals.
" It seems the only skill from my last life was Mortal Martial Arts. It's a shame that my crafting skills didn't pass over though, thankfully I still have the knowledge of all my practice. "
With such depressing thoughts Saturn started observing his surroundings in more depth. Thanks to his military training Solomon found it natural to check the surroundings while in an unfamiliar environment. Which he had done, but he discovered nothing threatening in the surroundings so he had started examining the screens. Since he finished that Solomon starting trying to gather details.
His surroundings seemed to be made entirely of wood. The wood seemed to be connected together, grain to grain. It was white and seemed to be a lot like pine wood with a yellowish tint. Furniture wise there was only a large bed that seemed to be connected with the wood that made the floor. As a matress there were leaves on the wood. Next to the bed was what looked like a doggy bed also made of leaves. By the lack of electronics Solomon determined his new world lacked technological developments. No phones, televisions, laptops, or any other such conveniences.
Once again going towards depressing thoughts Solomon's attention was drawn to voices out side the doorway. The doorway was literally a square with vines growing in it. It provided little privacy or protection, at least in Solomon's opinion.
Out of nowhere two people . . . . . . creatures . . . . . one humanoid and a dragon entered the room. The humanoid looked similar to a human, but he had long arms that hung to his knee's. He had six fingers each hand and they were all long. His feet had six finger like toes each too. The part that most set him apart from a human though was his shining golden mane of hair and pure golden eyes. His face was a mix of masculine and handsome.

The dragon was black . . . . . blacker than black. Her scales absorbed light and her purple eyes seemed to bend space. Despite knowing she was his mother Solomon was captivated by the pure and ferocious aura that accompanied the dragon from her seven bone white whiskers to the fin like tail that cut space. Her claws had clearly slain a many an enemy. Solomon was already a momma's boy.
The dragon flew to him.
" Hehehe come to mommy. I haven't seen you since I birthed you. "
" Let me see my boy. I want to see if he has my eyes. "
The dragon and monkey couple started observing the poor Solomon. Solomon was of course a toddler so his body hadn't developed much. He had a main of hair, but it was short and only slightly wavy. It was also different from his father's pure golden. His hair had purple strands that blended perfectly with his golden hair, the two colors seemed to create an illusion from how fine and perfectly they were combined. Solomon's eyes were layered with the outer ring being golden like his father's. The middle ring purple like his hair. And the sphere in place of his pupil completely black like his mother's scales. Though they weren't at the level of absorbing light.
" He is like a divine mix of the both of us. "
" What do you expect, he was created by Spentas. If he wasn't so perfect it would be odd. "
Solomon curious spoke out with a voice befitting a toddler.
" What do you mean I was created by Angra? I thought she only reincarnated me? "
" The fuck. "
The female dragon slapped her mate with her tail on his head.
" Language! And did you forget that she told us she reincarnated him? How can a near God be so dumb? "
The poor monkey had anime like tears in his golden eyes.
" You didn't have to be so mean Shie, I was just caught up in the moment. "
Shie, the dragon, felt bad seeing her mate's pitiful appearance. So she flew up and nuzzled him with her snout.
" Sorry hun. I was also excited. "
" Cute, but could ya'll explain the situation? "
" . . . . Sorry son, kind of forgot about you for a second there. "
" You were holding me. "
" . . . . "
" . . . . "
The three stared at each other for a while before Shie spoke up. She explained how beings as powerful as themselves couldn't have children easily. Shie and her husband, Han, had personally been trying for millions of years. She then explained how in their last attempt they were contacted by the Goddess of Creation, Angra Spentas, who was one of the oldest and most powerful Gods. She explained how she was willing to build them a baby using their DNA, the catch being that she would provide the soul. Meaning she could give them a soul belonging to an ancient monster older than Han and Shie by billions of years.
In the end though the two who had been desperate agreed to her terms. So Han provided semen while Shie provided an egg. Angra then used a technique and a special item similar to an egg to create a body for Solomon. Even for one of the most powerful creation God's it wasn't easy creating new life. So in the end it took Angra 100,000 years to flesh everything out. She then inserted the egg into Shie for it to naturally incubated and grown. After Solomon's body was birthed Angra then took it and put Solomon's soul into it which took another thousand years or so.
That was why both Shie and Han were so excited seeing their son. Like two gay parents seeing their adopted child who had been chosen by someone else for the first time. They had been nervous and excited.
" Hmm, to me barely any time passed at all. "
" You were probably inside of Angra Spentas's Divine Domain the entire time. For most of such domains the time is skewed from the normal world. "
Solomon nodded his head while drowsily falling asleep. It seems even his new baby body got tired easily. Solomon slowly fell asleep under the adoring eyes of his parents.

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.
