Chapter 6: The days of old
"I got back to the village about 10 minutes ago carrying the brown skinned girl in my arms, I was dead tired and damn I hated how the inn we were staying at was so far away...
It felt like I had walked for days with the amount of pain my body was in.
I got her into the bed as I was supposed to sleep in and backed away to the wall rested my back against the wall and dozed off into a deep slumber. "
Dream
"Lemons you have to open your eyes otherwise its dangerous!" ???
There in the tree is a skinny 10 year old kid, just under 155 cm he had a worried frown, light brown hair, yellowish green eyes with a small scar right under his left eye his eyes were puffing red as he was soon to start crying soon, his eyes were incredibly small as he was wearing big thick glasses, and was yelling at his grandpa.
"Grandpa help I can't get down" He had tears in his eyes but refused to cry. Lemons
"I can't help you, you climbed up there on your own, you can climb down on your own." Grandpa
"I can't it's too far I might fall, I don't want to move, come up here and help me! *uwaaaaah*" Lemons started crying unable to control himself as he was so scared.
"If you fall I will catch you believe in your grandpa. I won't let you get hurt, but you can do this your grandpa believes in you, just take it one branch at a time and you will get to the ground, I promise." Grandpa said this in a reassuring tone.

"Ok I'm coming, just don't leave me I don't want you to leave like dad, I will be down right now just don't go I'm happy if it's just me mommy and you grandpa." Lemons said with snot running down his face with tears still streaming down his face.
"It's okay I'm here, you're doing great and I'm not going anywhere." His grandpa yelled and made Lemons feel reassured which gave lemons the confidence to climb down the tree.
"Grandpa I did it I got to the place where I can jump." Lemons said excitingly while rubbing his eyes and clearing the snot, the scar that was once right under his left eye was gone.
"You better not jump that isn't safe!" His grandpa yells
"It's okay grandpa I have done this a million times~" He said this as he jumped from the tree, he lands perfectly, except for the stick he landed on, it messed up his balance and bam he smacks his face into the tree, and starts crying grandpa it hurts...
"..."
"Grandpa it hurts help me." Lemons cries holding his left eye with his left hand
Lemons turns around to look at where his grandpas voice was first originating, and he sees 2 tombstones, the one on the left read Joseph Carter Novak, loving father, grandfather, husband, and son.
On the right it read Chloe Lynn Novak, Loving mother, and daughter.
Below it said "Gabriel Lemonski Novak I know life hasn't always been easy with your father leaving but he loved you in his own way, please carry on as my loss will hurt but will also make you stronger. Love mommy"
End dream
"NO MOM DON'T LEAVE ME I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE!!!" Gabriel yelled as he awoke from his dream waking up Paul, Shiro, and The brown skinned girl who reflexively screamed after being awakened.

"W-what happened? did somebody attack!? who is she?" Paul startled, then curious
"Who are you and where are we!!! you didn't do anything to me did you, where are the goblins?!?!" ???
"Oh sorry for waking you, my name is Gabriel, I spotted 5 goblins carrying you towards Goburi Forest so I killed them all and brought you back here to the village of Qi" (Just to not confuse anyone Gabriel never entered the forest he was going to but as he got closer he found the 5 goblins killed them and left with the girl, he was about 2 minutes away from the entrance of the Forest which is where the camp the goblins made was)
"You killed goblins, was it yesterday? I guess it's not all that weird as you told the king you killed many people before." Paul laughed and looked at me smiling.
"Thank you for saving me, I am indebted to you." ???
"About that I actually hadn't killed a single living thing on purpose before the goblins. haha ha" I said with a short laugh.
"You bluffed to the king, you could have gotten us all killed!" Paul yelled at me angrily
"I know I'm sorry about that but we needed more time, 1 week isn't enough to get stronger." I apologized for lying to them.
"Umm I said Thank you for saving me." ???
"Well thats true the king is an ass, we have to keep our voices down as The guy in the red armor has been following us since we left the kingdom, no doubt he's the kings knight that was sent to make sure we dont try to run."
"STOP IGNORING ME!"???
"Oh right sorry whats your name?" I asked as I didn't want to make her mad.
"Its Ares Viltrix, I have a favor to ask my savior as you mentioned the king it made me think you have connections that may help me, my home is Northeast of Goburi forest just passed the cursed grounds of the bathalli hills.
it is a village called Gathri... PLEASE HELP ME!" Ares begs for assistance to help any survivors from the raid of the goblins.

Madness, with a pinch of salt
The kingdom of Triciella lies in a picture-perfect fantasy world, complete with sparkling magic and loyal knights and a sunny-haired, kind hearted heroine. Like all good fictional settings, she must save the kingdom from the evil powers that be, very conveniently falling in love with a lost prince in the process, and invoking the wrath of an unjust villainess. And like all proper villainesses, the infamous Lady Joanna has to find new, creative ways to ruin the life of the aforementioned heroine. But alas! Like all things bound by predestined rules, the story never goes as planned.

On a recent expedition into the wastelands, he found a peculiar birthday gift for Kiriai—an AI trainer from a centuries-old, martial arts game. Could it give her the advantage she needs? Will Kiriai win the fight that decides her future? An impossible deadline, a persuasive mentor, and her own family all stand in Kiriai’s way. If she loses, she’ll be consigned to a mundane life, but more importantly, banned from the arena forever. Kiriai can't let that happen. Combat Origin is the first book in the World of Combat, young adult, dystopia series. If you like strong heroines, gamelit/litrpg and a good brawl, keep reading. Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi. I'm hoping to connect with readers and improve my storytelling. -- Misty :) https://www.amazon.com/author/mistyzaugg https://mistyzaugg.com/
