《Memoirs of an old traveler:First Rebirth》Chapter 03c-Don't worry there will be more in the future, but rest for now

There is actually something like an adventurer’s guild in this world though it's called the Vagus guild, it's not really much of a true adventurer’s guild since it does have to take into concern actually being able to run and not be demolished by nobles. The vagus guild is more of a centralized office for specialized guilds to post their work and find more trustworthy individuals then the random shmuck off the street who brags about his sword arm. The other guilds have a play to hire people, headhunt people, and sell to people. People with jobs that need to be done can also come here to post offers and those that want to find jobs can along with creating a reputation for themselves since the vagus guild tracks and distributes your profile. True free adventurers are not the most common thing here since most specialized guilds offer better terms though those who want to make remain in control of their lives do find a place here as independents.
Finally priests of the many faiths do not have political authority for the most part though some high ranking members can be patricians, patriarchs, or viceroys depending on their personal deeds. There is no true almighty religion since there are quite a few gods around apparently that peddle their services. The many gods around tend to make sure that people are quite split as another god might offer more of what they want instead of who they followed before, most gods are pantheons that enshrine several gods of common cause but not necessarily common ethics. Any religious group that gets too powerful tends to get ganged up on and so things are relatively peaceful since crazed fanatics don’t last long as someone'll off them if they try anything too balance breaking. My family for instance does not have a specific patron god but allows free worship of any god from any pantheon. I have not seen any specific god or goddess being worshipped but more in general worship, this is the more common form for the people as this covers all the bases though is not as good a the blessing by one specific god.

Items in this world are graded by the Rarity system, those random household goods usually are in the common section as long as some random mastersmith does not decide to do something strange. Actual goods for combat usually are graded 1-10 based on craftsmanship and material though enchanted goods tend to be considered as well but the variety of true enchanted goods and not those that are given a simple buff like durability/sharpness but flames are rare. The more common goods with weapon only buffs of mundane level are usually called enhanced items instead of enchanted though some can cross the boundary and make things murky.
Now that I have learned the basic information fit for a noble I am now supposed to go to the next stage of training though I only know that it will involve basic ki and more advanced martial arts. But even then this is for the future so far and I don’t have a schedule for what will happen to me. Unfortunately even though I have information on the magician guilds and magic pool levels, actual spells are a no go. Even more common free magi who use the so called ‘life’ magic which is convenient for everyday life don’t share their knowledge readily, wonder what I can get my hands on in the future. Hmm I saw several references to a so called “monster surge” that occurs every twenty to thirty years or so, this could be trouble but I don’t see anything more available here to find out. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'

Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.
