“How long will it take for my Infernal and Divine Energy to be fully recharged?”
(Around 2 weeks for the Infernal energy and 1 month for the Divine Energy.)
“And just for future reference how strong is that shield?”
(Oh, that shield would have done nothing against that spear.)
“So am I weak or is he really strong?”
(You’re just really weak.)
“That sure was encouraging but how do I get my class and increase your influence?”
(Repeat after me “Emma, Goddess of the pure and untainted moon please bestow upon me a divine trial to prove my skill.”)
“What aspects do you have? Because during the prayers I say Goddess of the pure and untainted moon and with the blessing its undying love.”
(I am a Goddess of the moon, ice, love, balance, spirits and kitsune)
“How does the balance aspect work? Is it a physical balance like how balanced I am or metaphorical balance?”
(Metaphorical balance.)
“If that’s the case aren’t I talented in almost everything because everything has a balance?”
(Sorta, but for example you don’t start with the talent unlike other gods. You theoretically can be talented in everything but you also have to have a balance of the opposite of it and you also can’t be talented in everything because you also have to balance talent with lack of talent.)

“So it’s a really tedious process to maintain balance?”
(It takes along time to become perfectly balanced and that’s why my previous Harbingers died. Anyways it’s time for you to get your class.)
“Emma, Goddess of the pure and untainted moon please bestow upon me a divine trial to prove my devotion to you”
***
I immediately appeared into the white void that I was in when I met Emma. There was a list of options that appeared in front of me just like my status screen.
Class
Descriptions
Warrior
Warriors are loyal soldiers who fight in close combat
Rogue
Rogues are people who sneak in shadows whether to gather information or to kill people.
Mage
Mages are people who try to traverse the difficult path of the Arcane whether it be using the magic realm or using your bloodline to use magic
Shaman
Shamans are people who have an innate connection to the spirit world and communicate with the spirits to summon mighty spells or have the spirits inhabit their equipment to make them mighty close combat specialist
Cleric
Clerics are people who are devoted to a divine entity and use that power to either heal and make their allies stronger or use it to cast divine spells that smite down injustice
Warlock
Warlocks worship a deity of hell and use that to either summon demons or use Infernal energy to summon spells.
Spirit Knight
Spirit Knights are people selected by the spirit world to be their champion. Like Shamans Spirit Knights can use spirits to summon might spells or inhabit their equipment but unlike Shamans Spirit Knights can use spirits to directly enhance their bodies.
“Emma can you hear me?”
*sigh*
Emma didn’t respond. Hmm, I need to be able to make use of my stats and also be balanced for Emma’s aspect to be useful.

I guess there really is only one option.
“Spirit Knight.”
Right after I said that I felt drowsy and fell to sleep
***
There was a young boy on a azure blue stallion slowly trotting forward and a plethora of different spirits were all throwing flowers and congratulating him. At the end of the path there was a middle aged man, a young women and a boy all in guillotines.
As the young boy walked up to the guillotine the old man said “I’m not going to ask for you to spare me but please spare my family.”
The young boy stopped in his tracks and said “I was never going to kill your family they’re innocent.”
***
A window suddenly appeared in front of me
Congratulations

“Emma, wasn’t there supposed to be a trial?”
(There was a trial.)
“What was the trial?”
(A trial of your character.)
“Can you tell me what it entailed?”
(No. Anyways you should check your status screen now.”

8 220The Bartender at the End of the Universe
(daily updates) (cover by Weavervale) Ted is nothing special. In fact, despite his good grades in high school ten years ago, many people would consider Ted a loser. One day, Ted accidentally gets sucked into an isekai portal, but without having died he can't be reincarnated properly! Instead of figuring out a solution the eldritch beings who unwittingly kidnapped him just throw him onto an abandoned space in-between worlds. This upheaval of his mundane life leads Ted to pursue alcohol to cope only to find out he has a passion for handcrafting fermented drinks others enjoy. Trapped in-between universes, who knows who will drop in next? With his basic formula of water, sugar, and yeast, and his time machine he can craft any alcohol his heart desires. So long as the evil monsters who keep appearing bring ingredients with them. What will happen as this tiny mistake grows and grows as the space in-between feeds on the defeated villains of multiple universes? When will the smiling man's mistresses' plan reveal itself? Who knows, because this is a lighthearted adventure examining life, friendship, what it means to be good, and, of course, what the best drink in the multiverse is. Primarily a slice-of-life above all else, with a heavy dose of mystery. Feel free to skip the prologue to ignore some darker setup and just get to the fun, slice-of-life, villains meeting at a bar schtick.
8 578Force Majeure: A web novel
In the Qursan Empire, the grey walls of the city press down on its subjects. It is a highly divided society which is based on the magical strength of its citizens. While the most powerful are trained as Mages, the majority of citizens use their limited skills with essence to power the city in their assigned jobs. Jano is pretty much the lowest of the low in the Qursan Empire. A Class Ten citizen forced into transitory work after having his power restricted. When he gets the opportunity to change all of that, he takes it with both hands. Please note this is an edited version of my story ‘city of captives’. It follows a similar structure but I’ve ironed out some of the kinks. If you read that version, much of this will be similar though there are some differences. This is a slow burning progression fantasy. Please expect at least two chapters per week. I love writing this story but I do have unfortunate things to deal with like work and life outside of writing. I may be able to write and edit more than that, but it will never be less!
