《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 26: My Luck Sucks
Advertisement
I managed to get away from the giant douche. I then wondered around the party meeting people for a couple hours before finally meeting up with Rocinante.
“Hey Nick. so how was your conversation?”
“Don’t, just don’t. I’ve never had to exert more self control in my life. So don’t bullshit me and let's just share information.”
“Wow, he was that bad? I really am a good judge of character huh. I knew he was gonna be annoying.”
“Please stop. I am really drained so please just stop.”
After the back and forth we proceeded to share our intel. As we were talking there was a loud crash. And what we turned we saw was a huge chandelier on the floor with several people crushed. I immediately start to look around and see two people who clearly do not belong. One was lanky, had a large blond mohawk, and was in leather clothing. The other was well built, bald, and wearing sweatpants with a tank-top. The doors then slam shut with a loud bang.
“You people are now our hostages. Now get on the floor and or die in the name of the holy one. Hahahaha” Said the lanky man in a high pitched deranged voice
When one person tried to subdue him, the bald guy got in his way and punched him. That one punch obliterated the head into chunks of flesh. With that panic spread and some people tried to open the doors but they ended up just falling over for no notable reason. The rest just proceeded to get on the floor and wait for what’s to come.
During this Rocinante pointed out the tattoo on the of both them. It was a skull with a heart in the background. This was the symbol of the Genesis cult, a group bent on destruction. They have been quiet the past few years because of the imprisonment of their leader.
My luck can’t get any better.

Familiar In Chains
Familiar: A magical beast of one type or another which forms a magical bond with a mage who possesses a similar magical trait. Thus entering into a master-servant contract. Due to their abilities as a familiar, they possess all of the intelligence and knowledge of a human alongside the instincts and nature of a beast. Sourced From: My First Familiar Assigned text for third-year mages For young mages, obtaining their first familiar is a momentous occasion. Their magic forms a symbiotic relationship with their bonded mage, amplifying their's strengths and covering for their weaknesses. Often the strength of one's familiar is a key factor in how far a mage will go in their career. They are considered a necessity in the Empire of Afaron and the surrounding nations. Once familiars were caught in the wild and brought back for training and bonding. Eventually, however, the wild magic beasts were hunted to the point that they could no longer be found. Those that had been bred domestically would often produce magicless offspring. Nowadays the mages of Afaron know nothing of how familiars are bred, raised, and tamed. Once every three years, the Order of Beast Tamers come down from their mountain strongholds with caravans loaded with familiars purchased by noble families and magic academies. The Beast Tamer's generosity hides a dark truth. If you can't find a magic beast, make one. (Warning: Mild Nudity)

The Twelve
In a world marred by the supernatural, Japan suffers from its own fair share of evil and demonic disasters, with generations of shamans known as Onmyoji protecting their homeland from these forces of evil. Capable of wielding magic and using spirits of their own, these shamans were not only skilled in battle, but also divination. However, they were unable to correctly predict Japan's loss in World War Two, and suffered the punishments that followed. Persecuted and torn apart by infighting, the Onmyoji reunited under the banner of the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Seimei, one of the greatest Onmyoji to ever live. The Onmyoji began to rebuild and to regrow. Ren is the sole heir to the Tsuchimikado family, but has been unable to practice Onmyodo ever since his birth, even though he possesses the greatest ability in the family. But when disaster befalls his family, Ren has nobody to turn to, and no idea how to use his powers. As he journeys to escape the same fate his family faced and attempts to learn how to use his powers, there is only one question on his mind; as the Tsuchimikado heir, how can he save the Onmyoji... from themselves? ---------------------------------------------- note from author: I'm writing this based loosely on the very real theories of Onmyodo, and so my writing may not be a truthful or accurate depiction of Onmyodo or other related areas, such as religion, for instance. That is why, while depicted in the real world, events that happen may seem unrealistic and it may be easier to imagine it as a parallel universe that is the same as ours, but with slight differences so that my possible errors will be easier to overlook. Sorry, and thanks!

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
