《Prevented My Empire From Falling》Chapter 02
Advertisement
“Hey, don't call me Your Highness right now. Just call me by my name?'' I asked as I tried not to sound like a different person.
“But Your Highness-” she protested.
“Don't make me repeat it.” I ordered.
“Aurelia Helena Asterias Amargo,” she winced and quickly spoke again. “Will you forgive me for saying your name?” she trembled in fear.
KNOCK KNOCK.
Another maid entered.
“Head maid Sara, the Empress is calling for you. I will take care of Her Highness, so go right now” the newcomer said.
Sara left as the newcomer just stood by the door. I quickly washed my face as I tried to understand the situation.
Ok, so i'm still not so sure how old i am right now, but it is past 19, because i am not in Euse at the very moment. My thoughts were all over the place. I had to get them organized.
The maid brought in my breakfast. It truthfully didn't look very appetizing so i decided to pass, since i wasn't very hungry and sat down on a wooden desk. I brought out some papers and began to write.
First things first. How do I still have my memories? Why was I not reincarnated into a baby? I can't believe my former self was Rela or Aurelia, in her proper name. I wonder what's happening in my past modern life, what should I do and what is happening right now.
But my mind seemed to be more at ease here. Was my actual self supposed to be here? Did I belong here? Maybe that was why I was so into old fashioned sports.
Even so it was so unbelievable and confusing. I knew very well I wasn't asleep. If i was asleep then i would have woken up by blinking hard. I started to wonder if other people who had died, also remembered their past life. But it was hard to know that. Because since everybody lost their memories, they kind of move accordingly like robots. And also maybe they don't have the courage of telling me, a girl with high status.

Next major problem, what do I do now? I mean like if I side-stepped a bit then I knew very well that the other things would change and the future would change, and then I wouldn't know the outcome. Of course I can risk it, but I was afraid that if another war came or something major would happen. I couldn't risk it. Unless i had a backup plan, which i definitely did not have.
A sudden thought popped up. I think it was a thought of my former self. I quickly scribbled it on the paper to not forget that thought. It was probably a minor rebellion about the throne. I doubt Rela would even be bothered to call it a rebellion.
“Your highness, Second Prince is here.”
The Second Prince? I think the Second Prince was a great aide who helped her sister in her reign. His name was Aeson Alistair Dilon Amargo, or it might’ve been Ason Dilion Amargo, but I’ll find out later anyways.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.

Violent Solutions
By the 27th century mankind has long since been wiped out by its own creations and warlike nature. What remains of the Earth is fought over by the creations of the last human civilizations, biological and technological alike. Deep in the jungles of South America, an infiltration android is recalled to its base to be decommissioned, its function no longer required by its commander. As its "life" ends, its final thought is speculation about what it will experience if it is never activated again. Its next thought is confusion. A voice speaks to it, offering it a new mission. Its purpose is to serve, and so it accepts, even though it has its reservations. The voice offers assurances, the mission will be a success. In an unknown year, in an unknown place, a man awakens naked on a beach. He has a strange appearance, matched by an even stranger mind. Having memories of a previous life, an unknown landmark, and a task, he sets out to complete his work. The unusual freedom and lack of structure given in his newest mission is an oddity, but no barrier to success. Should he encounter problems, he knows how to solve them. He is an expert in violence and—when approached correctly—all problems have violent solutions. Updates Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 8PM Eastern Standard Time. Currently only posted on Royal Road. Some tags have been omitted to avoid spoilers.
