《Tales of Ishtar》Chapter 1 Part 2 - To the Inn!
Advertisement
Along the trip to the inn, I still failed to see any sign of modern society, no light poles, and the road was still pebbles at best; nevertheless, the buildings were improving, though that’s probably because we seemed to be heading towards the centre of the town.
… That’s an unusual symbol on the walls of that… Church, I suppose? I wonder what they worship?
White banners were drapping from the church's walls with the emblem of a red crown with a balance leaning on one side carved in its centre.
Do they not like equality in this religion? It seems like a bold and unusual stance for a church to adopt.
“So then, what’s your name, little one?”
This cunt.
“Before I kick you in the balls, stop calling me little. Also, I’m Clay. What about you?”
“Leif Thorvald, pleased to meet you! hahaha.”
“Pleasure is all mine. By the way, is there a reason why no one here speaks English besides you?”
“English? What’s that?”
“The language we’re using right now….”
“Never heard of it. Where is it from?”
“How do you not know the language you’re speaking so fluently? Are you pulling my leg?”
“FUHAHAHA, do you seriously not know? Have you never heard of the Oath of Babel?”
“No? What in the world is that?”
He removed his hood and pointed to his ears, revealing two exquisitely carved earrings that vaguely resembled a spiralling tower, with a faint red glow emanating from the summit.
“Any adventurer should have these. Without one, how did you even get here?
It interprets human speech and converts it into the language the owner needs.”
WOW?! that’s actually sick. Why didn’t we have something so useful back in my world if they created something like this here??

“Here, take one. You only need one for its effect to work. It should make things much simpler for you.”
“Thank you so much. I’m not sure how I can repay you.”
“FUHAHAHA, don’t worry, they are super cheap.”
“Also, you asked how I got here? Where exactly is… here?”
He was perplexed by my stupid question.
“Ayla, in the kingdom of Tayma. See right here on this map.”
Kingdom? Is this, therefore, the past? However, we never had technology like this. And it didn’t look like any island on earth.
Wow, this is one poorly drawn map. What is even going on at the top? Have they never ventured north? He can’t be from around here either, since this is a sailing chart with a clear way to Ayla. Was this made by a toddler?? Why’s the path also so shitty.
“Thank you, I see.”

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.
