《The Creep of Fate - Dropped》Chapter 1
Advertisement
There was a village on the western side of the world. That village was apart of a small kingdom called Dyri. Inside this small village there was a certain house. It was an ordinary house.
Inside this house, there was a young kitsune couple. A silver haired male with blood red eyes with five tails, and a pink haired female with golden eyes and had six tails .
The mother was breastfeeding a baby.
The baby had vermillion red hair and ice blue eyes starkly contrasting his parents. It was a really beautiful baby it would make even young women envious.
However, The baby was odd. He didn’t cry after birth and sometimes seemed like he was deep in thought.
This baby was Lugh Neverhail.

(Looks like you’re enjoying your new home Lugh)
A voice ringed throughout his head.
“Yeah, it’s not all that bad. But what's the deal about leaving me here for three months without contact”
(Figured you would need some time to get used to your new environment and “unlocked” emotions)
Well you wouldn’t be wrong. Anyways is there anything productive that I can do while I’m this young?”
(It depends on whether or not you inherited any mana from your parents)
“And how do I find that out?”
(Just think of status and something should pop up)

Harbinger of Emma (Unlocks aspects of being a Harbinger)
(Wow, you actually inherited both bloodlines.)
“Is that rare?”
(If it was any other inheritance then no. But, the bloodlines conflict so it's something that only happens on a rare moon.)

“How exactly do these stats work?”
(Oh yeah, tens are what an average human male would have. Most of them are self explanatory. But Dexterity is your hand eye coordination and how well you can do tasks. While, agility is just your pure physical stats. For example you would use your dexterity while you're trying to twirl a knife through your fingers. Agility would be how flexible you are or how fast you can run.)
“What about intelligence, wisdom, spirit and luck?”
(Intelligence is basically book smarts. While, wisdom is knowing how to apply that knowledge. Spirit is just how attached you are to spirits. Luck is what the chance is for you to roll what you need on a pair of dice. But for example if somebody knocks you out luck wouldn’t affect how fast you would wake up. Luck is also the one exception to the ten is average rule.)
“Spirits and why is luck the exception?”
(Luck is the exception because usually everybody has a set amount of luck at birth between one to infinity and that can’t be changed. Spirits include ghosts, fairies and other forces of nature.)
“Wait, how could a force of nature be a spirit and why do I have zero luck if people usually have 1 or more?”
(Imagine for almost any natural element there is a spirit who inhabits that element. You have zero luck because Harbingers, Gods and few others truly defy Fate. And before you ask when the Gods created all the planets we decided to create Fate so it could manage all of the small fry.)
“Small fry?”
(Humans and other creatures who have no impact on the world they live in.)
My anger was boiling after that sentence. All that I did in my last life was predetermined and Freya's life and death was predetermined.

BOOM!
A gigantic explosion ringed throughout the village. Two shadowy figures dashed out of the explosion and out of the village.
“Wow Lulu sure did get angry!” said a mother running faster than the eye could see.
“Luckily we fortified our house with arrays don’t ya say Darling?”
***
(That was unnecessary.)
“YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT FATE DETERMINED EVERYTHING I DID IN MY PAST LIFE!”
(No Fate just makes it more likely for certain things to happen. For example if fate was true then there would have been no world wars. But, because people choose to alter fate world war one and two happened.)
“Was there anything I could have done to save Freya in my last life?”
(No, there was absolutely nothing that you could do without in that situation.)

“Hey, Mom what are we having for dinner tonight?”

8 614Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
8 72Kichiro's Rampage
Meet Kichiro, the son of a samurai. A social outcast, he leaves his home with nothing but a musket and a sword, determined to carve himself a niche in a chaotic world of dragons and leviathans. This fiction incorporates LitRPG elements, but it's not set in a VR. It's set in a fantastical world based loosely on East Asia in the 16th and 17th Century, when the Ming Dynasty was on its last legs, with the addition of magic and monsters. I totally stole the stat tables from Exterminatus, the author of Everybody Loves Large Chests, so let me credit him for that. I'm new to writing so please don't hesitate to criticise, and reviews would be greatly appreciated.
