《Another World and I'm still rich?》Chapter 6. The Seer
Advertisement
I walk up the stairs for many hours and when I reach the top I see a wooden door.
I reach to open it but somebody opens it for me and smacks me in the face with it.
I almost fall down all the stairs and possibly killed myself...
I see an old woman standing in the doorway
"Oh! You are here Child! Come right in!" (Woman)
I walk in and she closes the door.
"Follow me then, child." (Woman)
The old woman starts walking and opens another wooden door after we go through a corridor.
"The Seer is in that room." (Woman)
"Wait, you aren't the seer?" (Colin)
"No! I don't have powers like my grandchild." (Woman)
"Oh... Sorry for misunderstanding." (Colin)
I enter the room and the old woman waves and closes the door.
"So you finally got up here.. I've been waiting for weeks now." (Seer)
I see a young woman drinking a glass of what seems to be wine and looking out of a balcony.
"I'm sorry that I didn't get here sooner... I didn't even know of you until a few days ago." (Colin)
"It's no problem. You actually came earlier than I expected..." (Seer)
She puts the glass down and walks towards me and suddenly stops and crosses her arms.
"Hmm... My vision told me you'd be weaker... I guess my visions aren't perfect." (Seer)
"I've been training..." (Colin)
I look at the Seer and she is a tall busty woman wearing hanfu aka ancient chinese clothing... A red hanfu with dragons on it...
The seer snickers a little after she notices me staring at her.
"Sorry for staring at you!" (Colin)
I bow for forgivness.
"Ah, it's fine. I don't get many visitors and the people that come up here always stare at my beauty and don't notice anything I say until I snap them out of it by hitting them." (Seer)

I stop bowing and she comes even closer to me and grabs my hand and brings it infront of her.
I notice a very small and almost unnoticable mark on my hand that is now glowing due to the Seer I think...
"So you did get the mark... Good... That means no bad surprises for me." (Seer)
She lets go and sits on a table at the balcony and gestures for me to sit and I do so.
"I am sure you have many questions. Ask three questions only though. We don't have much time." (Seer)
"Well... What is this mark? What does it do?" (Colin)
"It's the Mark of The First. In the books it is said that everybody that is the first of his or her species has this mark. It should give bonuses over time based on the progress of the person." (Seer)
"What am I destined to do?" (Colin)
"That, not even I know. I usually know what everybody is destined to do even if they have the most complicated destiny ever. Yours... I can't. I've tried many times..." (Seer)
"My final question is... What shall happen to me now?" (Colin)
"Well... You are going to take me back to Vivian's manor until a certain war breaks out and you are forced to fight on the front lines as a soldier.
Me and Vivian wait for you for many days and thanks to the fact I cannot see your destiny I don't know if you will live or die. I only know that you will fight in the war and no more." (Seer)
"Oh... And why should I take you with me though? Wouldn't it be better for you to be here?" (Colin)
"I must come. I need to assist you in your destiny. I've had a few visions about things that include you but those visions... They were not pleasant. I must come with you to help you with those visions. One of those visions was the war..." (Seer)

"Alright then. We should go then right? We have no time right?" (Colin)
"Yes. Yes we should." (Seer)
"I don't know your name though, Seer" (Colin)
"My name is... Athestine Balcan. Call me Athy though." (Athy)
"Nice to meet you, Athy. I'm Colin Tyccus" (Colin)
"It's nice to meet you too, Colin." (Athy)
Athy gets up and walks out of the door and I follow her.
We spend hours walking down the staircase and when we reach the bottom the guards drop their jaws when she comes through the door before me.
We leave to the King's Throneroom and Athy talks to the King about coming with me to the Terafell Mansion.
The King allows Athy to go and then we go to the King's Visitor's Manor where Vivian, Silan and the rest are resting for the trip back home.
When we reach the manor everybody was already asleep because it was night and me and Athy took two vacant rooms and went to sleep aswell because of the tiring trip back down the stairs.
When morning comes up... Something unexpected happens. Something I never prepeared for or thought to prepeare for yet.

Chromesight
After three centuries, post-industrial civilization threatens to shatter. Megacorporations accrue enormous power by linking together nations turned insular in the aftermath of yesterday's global multilateralism; a reinvigorated United Nations threatens the crumbling sovereignty of state by enforcing human rights independently of member nations, and the UN and others patrol for mass destruction technologies in the ever-accelerating, ever-democratizing arms race. Another environmental collapse looms, visions of the last haunting memories and consciences of the lower and middle classes around the globe. That is the reality that virtual child Colton is rehabilitated into. A system shock, a brave new world and above all a regurgitation. Rescued from being a tool in cyberspace and grown a new body, Colton couldn't care less about the new meatspace world. He wants to go back, back to the electronic glow that was his home. - - - - This is a MyNoWriMo entry. Lesser known than NaNoWriMo, MyNoWriMo takes place in January and is otherwise exactly the same. The goal is to finish this as quickly as possible and then possibly circle back and tidy things up. In the meantime there'll be no editing and helter-skelter story planning since I didn't do it beforehand :/

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
