《The Blood Mage》6 - The tale of a butler
Advertisement
There was once a man with the name -. He was known to be the opposite of energetic. He wasnt lazy, he just found no type of fulfillment in doing what we average people would do. He rather be ordered and following those orders than be independant. To put it simpler, he rather have one choice than multiple ones.
In his childhood days, he always followed his parent's bidding with no rewards, if his parents wanted to give him one, he would decline each time, saying they had provided him with enough satisfaction.
Growing up was a bit hard for the boy, as he was met with varying choices that would forever stay with him. This was mainly why he favoured to have only one choice.
After some time, he chose to be a servant, willingly. His parents almost disowned him if not for them remembering how he behaved when he was a child. His poor choice of job earned him many disappointed gazes from his hometown
At first, no one would hire him, as he put a high price for his employment. But then, a curious customer hired him, and was shocked to see his capabilities in action.
He could multi task without a sweat, know a myriad of culinary recipes, could do any job flawlessly, mastered several housekeeping ways, also own a high amount of charisma, and while all that, could also serve as a bodyguard for his master.
The owner was brimmed with pride, as he was the first master, this would served as a memory for the servant. Though many offered to hire him, the owner would turn them away each time. No way I'm giving up this butler. He thought.
Eventually, some desperate people came together and plotted an evil scheme to kill the owner. With a delicate and careful plan, they killed the owner. The butler was apathetic of his death, stating it was only work.

Now ownerless, many fought to hire him. He changed his master countless times, each time someone would hire him, they would die at the hands of others.
This continued even as he aged, they were all anxious that he would die soon of natural causes. This caused them to go even wilder.
Until one day, an understanding owner came, saying he knows how to end this pathetic war. He ordered the butler to end his life, which he wordlessly obliged.
Thus ended the tale of the butler. Little did he know, that the world had other plans for him. Other furry plans.

[19:27] Oxymoronic: Ever heard of escape room games? [19:30] Oxymoronic: You know, those places where you pay a hundred bucks to get locked in a room with impossible puzzles. Impossible for you, that is. Your smartass friend inevitably figures them out in seconds while you're sitting there dumbfounded, wondering where your money went. [19:31] Oxymoronic: Or maybe you are that smartass friend. [19:33] Oxymoronic: Well, I played an escape room game that even all the smartasses in the world couldn't have figured out. [19:35] Oxymoronic: I could have written a novel about what we have come to call the Babel Maze. But frankly, I'm not much of a writer. I'd much rather prefer to let the forum archives speak on their own. [19:36] Oxymoronic: Might take a few months to upload all this. Lots of clutter, lots of spam. Cleaning all this is going to be a nightmare. [19:38] Oxymoronic: That's just what internet janitors like me do.

The Queen of School
Hi there, my name is Jason Corvus, you can call me Raven. My parents really (like a lot) wanted to have a boy, so when they found out that I was a girl, they still put me a boyish name.
