I woke up, Ouroboros sleeping on my lap quietly.
“Aaaa~ That wassss a pretty good nap”
I said, as I got out of bed, shocking Ouroboros awake.
“Hisss!!!”
“Sssshit! Ouroborosss, it’sss alright! Only me”
I said, surprised.
“Hissss”
Ouroboros hissed calmly.
“Okay good, now… want to go hunting?”
I asked.
“Hissss”
Ouroboros hissed back, happily.
“Let ussss go! On a journey! Ha ha!”
I laughed as I grabbed my shortsword and club, then left the camp to go hunting.

‘Ooh, what’s this?’
I thought excitedly, as I saw a horned wolf walking around arrogantly, acting like it owned the forest.
“Ouroborossss, let’ssss teach thisss arrogant horned wolf a lesssson”
I whispered, as I prepared my club.
“Hisssss”
Ouroboros hissed back.
“Attack!”
I shouted, as I hit the horned wolf on its horn using my club.
“Hissss!”
Ouroboros hissed as it bit the horned wolf, causing it to roll around in agony.
“That’s so cool!”
I shouted, as I watched it slowly burn from the inside.
“Hisssss”
Ouroboros replied, proudly.
“Alright, let’s hunt some more!”
I shouted excitedly, as I readied my short sword and club.
“Hissss!”
Ouroboros replied, happily.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
We killed: Ten Rabbits, Four wolves, and a Goblin. Until we returned to the camp.
“I need to ssssit down for a bit. Aaaah~”
I yawned, as I sat on a log to look at the forest around me.
‘Damn, this place is fucking huge… it feels like I’m just stuck in the middle of this place… And that there’s no way out’
I thought, depressingly, as I stood up and started to cook dinner for myself and Ouroboros.
Then, the screens popped up.

“Holy ssshit, 11 more killssss, and I get the ssssecret… misssssion, done… cool…”
I said, happily.
“Wait… Ouroborosss you evolved! Good job!”
I cheered.
“Hissss”
Ouroboros hissed proudly as it slithered on my leg, tying itself to it.
“Alright then… [Ssstatus]”
I said, ignoring the large snake twisting itself around my leg.

“Holy ssshit, I’m incredibly closssse to levelling up too!”
I shouted excitedly.
“Alright then, Ssssysstem, lottery!”
I said, excitedly.

A lot of cool things appeared, but what I ended up with was… a “Goblin Hunter”
“What'sss thissss!?”
I asked, holding a card with a picture of a goblin holding a spear on it.
That’s a “Summoning Card” which allows you to summon the being on it once, permanently. Until its or your death.
The system answered instantly.
“Alright then… but, what do the ssstarsss on it mean?”
I asked, since there was one star filled in black out of six blank ones on it.
The stars signify the rarity of the card, it goes from: Trash > Common > Uncommon > Rare > Epic and Legendary.
The system stated.
“Sssso, I have a trassssh card? What’s it even useful for!?”
I asked.

A distraction.
The System replied instantly.
“Fuck off!”
I replied angrily.
“Hisss!”
Ouroboros, sensing my anger, hissed at everything around us.
“It’s alright Ouroborosss, it’s just sssomething sscrewing with me… you don’t have to get angry”
I said, petting Ouroboros as best as I could.
“You know what Ouroborosss? I’m beat, let’s go to ssssleep now”
I said.
“Hisss?”
Ouroboros hiss with confusion.
“Yes, I know that it’s only… like… Ssssystem, what time isss it?”
I asked.
3:49 PM
“Yessss, I know that it’s only 3:49 PM, but remember… we ssslept really late lassst night… ssso, we need sssome sssleep now”
I said.
“Hissss?”
Ouroboros hissed back in a somber tone.
“Enough back-chat, let’sss go!”
I ordered, so Ouroboros followed me to bed.
Where we slept for a few hours, until we were ambushed!

A Will to Recognize
What do you think it takes to live? Is it strength? Power? Magic? Unparalleled intelligence? Or are they all mere accessories to the fact that life is irrelevant? Do you have what it takes to bear the burden of life? Does life even matter? I don't know, and to be frank, I am somehow alive; I was even able to function in society at one point. It frightens me to think no one else knows our purpose: not our parents, friends, or mentors. And I can't bring myself to surrender to any religion. But I do have a direction. A goal, one might say. My wish is to one day shout on top of the highest mountains, "Life doesn't frighten me!" But that won't happen. Because I died a long time ago. ... You're still here? That? Oh it was all in the script. You didn't think I'd actually say that cringey stuff, did you? ~Daniel
8 138There's a Hero in the Kingdom
When the world has heroes that occasionally appear from another world, what impact do these heroes have? How do the people already present react? There's a Hero in the Kingdom follows the prince of the Kingdom of Sengar and his closest allies as he seeks out the newest hero that has appeared within their borders. Can he convince the hero to join in his efforts? This is very much a work in progress with the intent that it might someday be a proper series. Constructive feedback is appreciated as I would like to turn this into a fully fleshed out story for that purpose. Thank you. -Fleza Release Schedule: Routine schedule suspended indefinitely. New content to be released when deemed ready.
8 138Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
