《A Cultivation Story》Prologue
Advertisement
In the village of Eastlodge, a young man ran along a road.
Today was an important day, let me rephrase that, today was THE MOST important day of the year. Sweat dripped down the young man’s face, with even measured breathes he ran. Lean muscle propelled him forward with respectable power, for a mortal that is.
‘I can’t be late, today is the day I’ve been waiting for all my life.’ The young man thought as he continued his invigorated journey to the town center. ‘Today I’ll finally show my old man that I won’t be stuck in this backwoods for my whole life, that I won’t be relegated to a background character in the annals of history. Today is the day I take control of my life!’ With a confident, maybe even arrogant, grin the young man increased his speed.
Passing by farm houses, grain silos, and cottages, the young man was greeted by the residents of these abodes. “Be careful now Connor, you don’t want to tire yourself out. The day has barely started. What will your father think when you come home barely able to lift a bag of seed?” An aging man yelled at Connor as he passed by.
“Thank you Mr.G but I won’t be lifting any more seeds or tilling any more fields after today. Today Is the day I finally start my journey as a cultivator.” Connor responded with a laugh.
“How could I have forgotten, today’s aptitude day isn’t it? I didn’t think I was getting that old but apparently my age is catching up to me.” Mr.G said with a chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Yes sir, today’s the day!” Connor responded with a yell. Picking back up the pace Connor ran along the dirt road that lead to the town square of Eastlodge. Although calling it a town square would be generous, seeing as there wasn’t much town nor was it much of a square.

Connor drew closer and closer to the town square and the house became less and less spread apart. The wood walls and thatching roof became more and more stone walls and tiled roofs. The town square soon came into view, a crowd of people had gathered. Old and young alike had come to see the spectacle, parents praying for their children’s future, and youths brimming with vitality ready to fulfill their dreams. Yet, for most that will not happen.
The shops and houses flew by in a blur, and then they were gone. ‘Oh no, I was too distracted getting here that I didn’t bother to slow my pace down.’ Connor focused his eyes forward, his eyes widened as he realized that there was a person in front of him, actually there were many persons in front of him.
“Shit, get out of the way.” But his warning came too late.
-Thunk-
“Ow,” an unknown voice said from under him.
“Sorry,” Connor said as he quickly got up and stretched out his hand to help the person he’d knocked over up. The young man took his hand and pulled himself up to his feet.
“No problem, just watch where you’re going next time will ya.” The young man said as he dusted off his clothes. The young man looked to be about the same age as Connor but while Connor was tan, tall, and lean, this young man was pale, short, and pudgy.
“Sorry again Eric but you know how my father is, he wouldn’t even give me the morning off so I had to do all of my work before I could go to the ceremony.” Connor told Eric apologetically.
“Like I said Connor, it’s fine.” Eric waved away his apology, acting like it was nothing.

“Thanks Eric, see this is why we’re friends.” Connor answered with a smile.
“What, so you can assault me then act like it’s nothing. Whatever asshole.” Eric answered with a snort.
“Hey, it doesn’t happen that often.” Connor protested.
“Sure,” Eric answered sceptically. “Whatever, you made it on time and that’s all that matters. Now shush, the ceremony’s starting and I don’t want your annoying voice to ruin it for me.”
“Hey,” Connor said with a hurt look on his face. Eric looked over at Connor with crossed arms, they both stared at each other for a few seconds before breaking out into laughter.
“Shhhhh.” Everyone around them turned to them with annoyed looks on their faces. They both quickly quieted down, due to a potent mixture of guilt and shame.

Sylver Seeker
After fulfilling the duty all arch necromancers are tasked with, Sylver Sezari was not expecting to ever wake up again. But he did. And after crawling his way back into the land of the living, he’s alive once again. In a strange land, a strange time, and with a strange floating screen in front of his new face. Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content. -The story isn’t grimdark, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows either. There will be lighthearted and positive moments, as well as some sad ones. That being said, it’s a whole lot more light than dark. -This is a LITRPG story. Chapters are published every 2 days at 21:00 GMT. Author’s note:-It can get very GORY. I’m somewhat desensitized to gore and violence. So while the story isn’t full of gore for the sake of gore, it can get a little too descriptive.-The MC is a necromancer, so corpses and decay, and all the things that come with it, will be mentioned from time to time.-I’m a huge fan of Egyptian, Slavic, and Greek mythology, so expect quite a bit of that. That said, so much is altered, you’ll be hard-pressed to guess how exactly it is being used.-Despite being ‘immortal’ the MC can die. In the event he does, the story doesn’t end, simply time skips forward. Which in some cases is going to be worse than just dying.-I love plot twists, as much as I love red herrings and Chekhov guns. Deus Ex Machina’s not so much. Cover: https://angshumandhar.artstation.com/projects

A Wish Beyond Chaos
Knights cultivate Laws to transcend mortality. They live for centuries, leading all of humanity while ceaselessly searching for the ultimate path. Mages study Runes to control creation itself. Their lives are short, but burn with unmatched radiance, leaving marks that may never fade. Roland Crescent consumes food to continue existing. He has lived for almost fifteen years without accidentally choking to death, a feat not yet committed to chronicles and song. Five years ago, at the tender age of nine, Roland suddenly stopped dreaming and instead started seeing the imminent deaths of those around him in nightly visions. Believing himself destined for greatness, he set out to become a righteous hero of justice. But as the years passed this young wannabe savior found that his duties brought him almost no discernible benefits, whereas new burdens kept piling onto his small shoulders without end. When a longtime plan’s failure ends up opening the path to several twisted opportunities, Roland might have to finally admit to himself that nobody of importance, much less fate itself, had any regards for his heroic inclinations. Slow paced, character focused story. Gets very dark at times. Basically like Lord of the Mysteries with more comedic aspects at the start. Chapters are released Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. Average chapter length is about 4000 words, with only the first vision being noticeably shorter. Have fun reading.
