《Transient Fire Works》Prologue to Chapter 4: Intermission

*WOOOSH*WOOOSH*BOOM*BOOM*
'Hmm?'
*WOOOSH*WOOOSH*BOOM*BOOM*
"**BZZT*..." a voice calls out.
'What?'
"*BZZT*! Stop f*cking falling asleep and help me!" the voice roared
*Thwak*BANG*
A hard object moves like the wind and hit like a waterfall on my head.
'OW!!!! WHAT THE!?'
Holding my head, i could not help but to think, 'Why does this feel familiar?'
I open my eyes to see an angry old man staring down at me. His entire body is enshroud in a layer of darkness so i couldn't make out his shape clearly but he was clearly holding a stick pointing at me!
He turns around to get something behind him
"Hurry up and help me boy!" He shouted. *BOOM* He slams a stack of three crates right in front of me with a loud bang. "These have to be done by noon. If we could make them on time, then we don't have to worry about money problems for the month!"
"Eh? What am I suppose to make?" I ask the old man.
"Fireworks! What else are we suppose to make? Don't tell me that after you learn how to make fireworks that you no longer have interest!" the old man frowned.
"Of course not! But I-"
"Good! Then hurry up and make two hundred of them just like I taught you!" he walks away humming a merry tune.
*Open*Creak*Shut*
He walks out the front door and shut it tightly.
I really didn't know how to make fireworks. I've only read books on how to make them but never put it to practice.
"Arg... Don't blame me if i mess old man" I grumble as i separate and open each box.
I look back at hands to see that it looks a lot smaller and I was wearing toddler's clothing.

Just then, my vision turned white. When the whiteness cleared up, i saw a bunch of spheres covered in paper. I look to see my hand still moving as another voice in my head rang.
~ Make the container’s shape using desired materials which can range from **** to **** but this time it will be paper. Put the black powder in separate container. Make the stars….~
Is this my voice? How is it that i am able to do this? Why am i able to make fireworks? Also, how am i able to assemble it so fast?
A few minutes later, i could hear some sounds.
*Tap*Tap*Tap*
The foots steps could be heard as a figure entered the area I was in.
"Ah good! You're almost done! I knew you were talented! Ah ha ha ha" It was the old man. The old man was clearly proud that he taught me how to make fireworks. So it seems like he wasn't lying about the part on how to make fireworks then. But what i don't get is, if i knew how to make fireworks, why don't i know how to make fireworks before?
"I'm a little tired *BZZT* can I sleep for a bit now?" i said. But it really didn't feel like me.
"HA HA HA! Go right ahead. I'll deliver these then boy. After all, you've earned your rest." he grin widely .
"Mmmh Okay! Night!" and at that moment, I stretch out my arms and fell right to sleep. I could still hear his voice despite being asleep.
"Cute kid. Now it won't be a waste giving you the *BZZT *BZZT*....." He lay his hand on my head and i gently rubs it for a few moments and then walks away carrying the recently done fireworks in his hands and out the door.

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
