《The Reaver (hiatus)》Chapter 3 A Bear of a Time
Advertisement
Vulpine what happened? (Bellator)
Master some people are attacking a caravan. (Vulpine)
Ok I’ll hurry up. (Bellator)
After what Vulpine said that to me I put on my cowl that was made out of vicious bear hide where the mouth was covering the top and sides of my face and the giant fangs obscured the rest of my face. I did not have enough time to put on my leather chest piece and armguards but I had my leg guards and shoes on already. So I was to wearing my leg guards above my pants while my chest and stomach was exposed (AN. 6 pack of abs) were exposed showing them filled with scars from my previous battles. By the way a vicious bear is 10 feet (AN. 3 Meters) tall on its hind legs.
Ok let’s go. (Bellator)
Ok get on. (Vulpine)
Before I went on vulpine I grab my bag that had things I’m planning to sell and my pouch of money. The denominations are 100 copper = 1 big copper coins, 100 big copper = 1 silver, 100 silver = 1 gold, and 100 gold = 1 platinum. As a reference 1 gold coin can buy you a good magical sword or live a good life for a year. As I rode Vulpine I thought I might be mistrustful of other living beings beside Vulpine but, I can’t leave people to die when I could have done something.
When we made I told vulpine to stay in the bushes what I saw was 1 carriage and 2 wagons while the carriage was in the middle. The guards are having a tough time with the bandits because, they cannot fight properly. The Archers in the foliage are pinning them down while the vanguard are hacking away at the guards’ shields. There are 7 guards and around 30 bandits so the guards were at a disadvantage. I need to hurry up one of the guards are kneeling. I touch the ground and compress the earth and pull out a tower shield I repeat this process and make a bastard sword they are rough around the edges and most people can’t carry both these things at once. After this thought I dash into battle.
Sherry Perspective
We are a party at the adventure guild are party consist of 7 people Me a Knight, Bob a Paladin, Gannet a Archer, Jose a Defender, Lance a Knight, Chris the magician, and Victor the thief/knight (AN. He wears leather armor and has a shield and sword.) We are a D-Rank party we been a party for two years already so we know each other personality pretty well. The job we took was a C-ranked mission to escort a caravan through a Dark Forest the forest is a C-Ranked place with little B-Ranked and even fewer A-Ranked monsters around. As we were departing in the middle of the 5 day trip we were attacked by bandits. These bandits were smart they had archers hiding in the forest and the rest were vanguard we had a tough time we couldn’t even attack without being berated by arrows. After 20 minutes we were all tired the first one to be knocked down was Chris we knew he was going to die because we are too preoccupied with the other bandits.

Wha!?!? (Everyone)
A dark figure rushes in and smashes into the bandits and use a brown shield to protect Chris. Then the figure swings his giant brown sword and crushes 3 bandits killing them. Both sides are really shocked then he throws something at Chris that’s panting it land in front of him. Then we get a good look at the figure he is taller than all of us and he is wearing a cowl that covers his face all down his back until the back of his legs. Then he crouches and touches the ground and creates a wall in front of us. The last we see of him is him standing up ready to have a fight.
Bellator Perspective
I made it in the neck of time to save one of the guards then I made a wall to protect them. I use my tower shield to block the arrows coming my way. A bandit that I assume is the leader says.
Kill this bastard and get past this wall. (Bandit Leader?)
I place my sword against the wall and crouch and touch the floor I make a javelin and then toss it through the crowd aiming at the assumed bandit leader. I Impale 1 of the bandits and the assumed leader impaling both of them and pinning them on a tree. I pick up my weapon then charge in the process knocking a bandit down. I swung my sword crushing 4 of them the archers are shooting a round of arrows while I’m bashing a bandit with my shield I use my cowl to block the arrows. I feel the impact of the arrows but it doesn’t pierce the hide. I proceed to bash and crush the rest of the bandits. The bandit archers are still alive so I do what any sane man does I crouch and make more javelins killing the archers. This took about 7 minutes to kill the bandits. The assumed bandit leader is still alive though but, not for a long time. I force my earth wall back into the ground and I face the guards with my bloody weapons unsurprisingly I have a little blood on me. What they do surprise me though.
Perspective Change Sherry *8 minutes ago
When I saw the man I thought he had a death wish but, he probably bought us some time with his death and wall. Me and Bob check up on Chris he has a nasty gash in his arm. I walk over to the vial the man threw and identified it.

*Small Good Healing Potion
*Effect heals wounds rapidly.
I was shocked this item is very expensive even though it’s a small one it’s worth 4 Silver. I show it my friends.
Hey look at what I found. (Sherry)
What? (Bob)
*Passes it to Bob
Holy Hell it’s a potion! We better save this. (Bob)
While we are readying for the bandits to go around the wall we here a crunching sound then screaming. We stand there brandishing our weapons but, hear it again. We do this for 5 minutes waiting until we hear a strong whooshing sound about 7 times. We get ready to fight but, the wall started receding into the ground until we see a looming figure with his faced covered by the giant teeth of the bear mouth. The eyes under the hood was changing color. He also was carrying bloody weapons it’s the man that saved us. Gannet must of freaked out because, she unleashed an arrow from her bow with an *EEEP. The man blocked it with the tower shield in his left hand. We were
readying to fight him but, he said in a deep voice.
Don’t fight me help. (???)
Why should we trust you (Gannet)
I drop weapons. (???)
Surprisingly he did what he said and dropped his weapons. Also, he seems kind of dumb.
I leave now. (???)
At least tell us your name. (Chris)
Name is Bellator bye. (Bellator)
Wait! (???)
Bellator looks at the person stepping out of the carriage it’s our contractor the Elf Elder Trinity she looks about 25 and has a nice hourglass figure with big breast and long flowing blond hair.
We can at least offer you a reward for helping us. (Trinity)
He thinks for a while then he says his answer.
Me fine. (Bellator)
He starts walking away without even asking for a reward.
Wait! We can at least offer you something. (Trinity)
Fine. (Bellator)
He thinks and then he stick out his palm and hit it with the top of his hand.
Me ride in wagon to next town need supplies. (Bellator)
My inter party and I including the elder are shocked just asking for a ride to the town we are going to anyways.
*Giggle (Trinity)
My party is even more shocked the elder people call a cold rose actually giggled.
Then me and my party notice the carnage behind Bellator the bodies of the bandits look like meaty past and what we assume is the archers are impaled by earth javelins. Are eyes follow Bellator that is walking to the wagon then turns around and Whistles.
*Whistle
What we see shocks us even including the elder a wolf the size of a bear bolts and tackles Bellator. We pull out are weapons to help Bellator but, the elder stops us.
Look (Trinity)
The wolf that we assumed was mauling Bellator is actually licking him.
Down Vulpine. (Bellator)
What we hear shocks us again even the elder seems baffled.
But, Master I was worried. (Vulpine)
The elder looks like she wants to say something but Bellator answers it before she asks.
Vulpine Wolf Spirit (Bellator)
We can only sigh this person defied logic even more. Bellator jumps on Vulpine then she walks next to the caravan. For the rest of the day we are on edge.
(AN. I’m making Bellator speak like that so, he can see people true color)

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.

The Tales of Hammerfall
Raph woke up in a body that wasn't his, in a world that wasn't his own. A world where power is respected, magic is real, classes are prevalent, and monsters are normal. What he does with this opportunity is yet to be seen, but it will be recorded. These are The Tales of Hammerfall. --- Note: After writing a few chapters now, I realise how this isn't perfect. This is the first thing I have ever written and it isn't completely consistent. It may get better as I write more, please bear with me.

Deviant's Masquerade: The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
