Helloooooo~

Well, I'm all vented, note: when u don't like to reade the rants... theres something that humanity invented for impatient people... it's called.... SKIPPING THE RANT
Whew~ Alllllright. Now I got the hater problem done with... Enjoy~.
-Present time-
Just a week after the national summoning, in a forest on a mountain overlooking the nearby human capital, there were some reports of something humanoid donning white-hair falling from the sky after a bright flash of light appeared at approximately around early morning.
But due to the guards patrol time-frame to be as early as that, only some people that woke up abnormally early witnessed it. And the people that did witness were too small, so it was regarded as lunatic ravings.
-Morning-
"Mmmm... (Yaawwwwwn)... what... where am I..."
(Kris)
I open my eyes slowly. Only to find another pair of eyes staring back. And these eyes didn't seem human. They were golden yellow, having a shiny luster that was almost energy like, instead of the shiny mineral kind of luster.

What I saw beyond that, caused me to take a double take.
I blinked, looked again, and instantly blushed. Why? Because those eyes belonged to a girl. She looked like a ten-year old, with waist length golden yellow hair, which covered one of her eyes.
Now, normally nothing would make me react to a girl, because the ones from before in my previous world all bullied me for Kevin. They had a dark maddened and ugly look in their eyes that couldn't be hidden no matter how much makeup they showered onto their faces.
But this girl, she was... not like an angel, but really cute... and her eyes. They weren't like any girls eyes that I had known. They were curious, but also kind-of dull. Like she didn't really have much emotion. Plus, she had an ahoge! How is that possible! She has an ahoge!
Authors note: (Basically a huge cow-lick of hair at the top of her hair)
Adding to her noticeable chest... Isn't this what Colby would call an oppai loli?!
Of course, none of this was enough to make me blush. Hmph, do you think the anti-social me would be made to blush so easily? It's the fact that... she wasn't wearing any clothes. I mean, who wouldn't?
"Um... hello... do you know where am I?"
(Kris)
"..."
She tilted her head slowly.
"I dunno..."
(???)
She quietly muttered. Hm, okay, location is unknown... I'm all alone with this girl... Wait! I'm not thinking of any bad things, don't worry. Even if she did manage to make me blush, She's only a kid, I'm no lolicon! But I'm a guy with a good heart!
I check my belts. Good, it seems that I didn't lose anything. I start spinning around my strings and focus on making something...
The girl just looks at me curiously while I spin. Wow... she's cute! ...

A-Anyway!
"..."
After, weaving for a while, I finish. It's a simple biggish... shirt thing? No wait... I alter my weaving pattern and make something... Tadah!
After about 30 minutes, I have made my first wearable thing! It's a robe! It pretty much fits the description of a Mages robe. Except that it's really simple.
I look over, the girl's eyes are sparkling, they're fixated on the simple robe I made... wow. Ah! I got a fun idea...
I toss it to her
"Here, you can have this"
(Kris)
"R-Really?"
(???)
"...Yeah, you should put some clothes on"
(Kris)
Her ahoge almost seems to stand up, if she could wag a tail, I think she would.
She immediately tries it on, and although a bit to big, I think it fits nicely. Seeing her eyes all shiny, I laugh a bit.
Then I take note of our surroundings. It's a really big forest clearing, and there doesn't really seem to be any trace of civilization...
"Where's your family?"
(Kris)
She pauses.
"Uuuu I don't know... I can't even remember if i had parents."
(???)
Hm, Okay... wait. What? I start to interrogate her. After that, I realize she's really timid and quiet... or more like, just quiet, no timidness, I finally get the gist of it after a while.
"So you just woke up around here and can't remember anything?"
(Kris)
"En."
(???)
Isn't this a little strange? This is a case of amnesia, right? Judging by the cruelty of this new world, she was probably traumatized by slavers killing her parents or some other cliche setting from my fantasy web-novels. Well, there could be a chance that she just hit her head and managed to survive in this place... I'll just pick her up and drop her off somewhere.
"Okay... can you remember your name?"
(Kris)
She seems to brighten up and recalls something.
"... En, It's Lucy"
(Lucy)
"Alright, for now, come with me Lucy, I'm Kris! I'll take you over to your parents or maybe let a nearby town's orphanage take you in!"
(Kris)
She seems to like that idea, so I guess that settles my plan. Huh, since when did I become this nice? Oh. I'm not nice. It's just... the look in her eyes isn't just innocent, it also carries a resemblance of the loneliness that I carried before I met Colby... oh. Now that's a good idea!
"Lucy, wanna be friends?"
(Kris)
"E-en! Ehehehe"
(Lucy)
Wow, She's really smiling there. Well, I guess if I just had amnesia and appeared in a dark forest, the person who appeared suddenly and decided to be your friend must be like a hero.
...
Huh? Isn't she a bit tooooo happy? It's like she's absolutely brimming with energy... w-what? Her cowlick is realllllly standing up... i-it's crackling?
All of a sudden, electric energy starts appearing on her cow-lick. I look at the sky after a huge cracking sound is heard.
I see it coming down on us... is a lightning bolt supposed to be that big? It's like, 4 times my hight and width! And don't tell me... Lucy made it appear?! ....ERHMAGHERDDDDDD!!!
"Tehehehe~ I made a friend!~"
(Lucy)
"GYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
(Kris)
That morning, people spit out their breakfasts after hearing a sound akin to a great northern Thunder Lion's roar, and then threw up whatever they had swallowed after hearing the terrifying sound that sounded like a banshee in an electric chair. (Same as modern electric chair, except powered by mana, or magic-stones)
The End! I really wanted to make someone who Kris won't be able to tsukkomi to, and something similar to a really stoic loli, so I came up with Lucy. Take a guess at what element affinity she is! XD

Path of Blood.
In my world, there are only idiots who know nothing of the true workings of the world. They only see what is shown to them, only accepting and not questioning anything. They brag about the strength given to them yet do not know how or where that power comes from. Sick of this competition for power that is unfair to all who participate, I’m tired of being given choices that seem fine to others but don’t make any sense to me. Others are blessed with supreme talent, others are born cripple; the world is unfair and that is a fact. But what if you could see? What if the world was open to you and only you? Would your life change forever? Would you become a King amongst men? OF COURSE NOT! For the heavens are fair and they shall maintain the balance of the realm, no matter what the case. Did I ask for the knowledge I was given? NO! Did I ask for the abilities I was given? NO! So then why make me different? Why turn me into a monster who sees all yet cannot participate in the competition for power that you have arranged? WHY HAVE THE HEAVENS FORSAKEN ME? From birth I saw everything, nothing could escape my sight. However, the heavens made me a cripple, they put me in the shadows and I can’t help but yearn for the light. Why am I still of the living then? Well, Why should I give the Heavens the satisfaction of seeing me give up? I will not submit to the heavens nor will I submit to the bastards that wish to use me. All I can do now is continue to rebel against everything. All I can do is continue to battle the Heavens in my heart. I shall carve out a new path for all those like me, a path that will go against the very constitution of this world. How will I do this? I do not know. But I will! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will upload a chapter a day on Royalroad (maybe more) however if you want more of the story at a quicker pace then go to fantasy-books.live. There are currently 110+ chapters of Path of Blood there. P.S - I started Path of Blood about a year ago so the first fifteen chapters have some problems character wise however I'm currently working with an editor to remedy these to make the story a better read. Anyway, these issues don't last long and since Pob is a story that rewards the patient, only those who've read till the latest will understand how good the story really is....I designed it to get better with every ark, surprises planned at every corner and the eventual ending of Pob will definitely not dissapoint, so stick around and give it a chance. :D

A Merchants Tale
Legends rise. Country’s fall. Empires wage war. But what supports these great powers, allowing them to function as a single organism. Is it the common man, Farmers and Millers forming the backbone of the land? The Soldiers and Guards keeping public order? The Wives and Widows supporting from the side-lines? The Nobles from their seats of power? Or the elusive Sorcerers who wield power untold? And what maggots crawl in this great creature, all trying to get a piece of its slowly decaying flesh. The gangs of the Underworld hidden in the shadows? The Bandits and Deserters hiding at the edges, ready to pounce on any weakness? Witches and Warlocks working their dark art? Or other Nations clawing at their neighbour’s, salivating over the riches they stand to gain from another’s demise. There is one group that belongs to neither group. They thrive on others misfortune and bring with them salvation and destruction in equal measure. They can raise a kingdom up or tear it down screaming and kicking. These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith. Merchants come in many forms, shapes and sized, some gaudy, bleeding the people for all their worth, some tricky, preferring to make contracts and debts to trap men. And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)
