《The Two Stories of Frontier Online: A Tale of A Boy and A Beast (Dropped)》Prologue: Meeting the Two Brothers
Advertisement
Shuu's POV:
"Jun wake up, wake up. Frontier Online starts soon, we don't want to miss it like we did at the Beta Testing." I exclaimed, bursting into my twin brother's bedroom. Jun grumbled and pulled the sheets over his head to block out the sound, but I grabbed the blankets and swiped them from the bed.
"No sleeping, come on, Its about to start, I wonder what the Beta Testers set up for us" I spoke with anticipation. Let me explain, The game Frontier Online was a game made from the players, by the players, for the players. It allowed anyone to do anything, If you wanted to build a kingdom, then you would gather loyal subjects, create NPCs, Create and support Towns and cities, Maybe even find a religion if you want. If you wanted to be a daring dungeon creator, you would buy the land, excavate and build the floors, and spawn in monsters as well as drops. But the things I wanted to do the most was create my own type of [Unique Monster]. In Frontier Online, you could choose between the [Kingdom]- The races of Human, Elf, Beastmen, Dwarves, etc, or choose to be a [Beast of the Wild] Basically any and every type of monster that was not supported by the kingdom, (Thieves, Thugs, Bandits, Rouge Beastmen, etc are classified as [Beasts of the Wild, as they do not follow the [Kingdom]. [Beasts of the Wild] allowed you to create your own Mob, even have named bosses for other players to fight. For a [Kingdom] Player, they had to fight these [Beasts of the Wild] for drops and gold that the beast had on them to gain fame, and money for better items. For [Beasts of the Wild] Players, they had to defeat a Player, reguardless of which Faction they chose, and take their items/drops, to convert into points to grow themselves. If the [Beasts of the Wild] Player defeated many adversaries then they have the chance to evolve themselves into a more dangerous beast.

(Short explanation: Beasts- defeat things to evolve/change into a better beast.)
Jun finally stirred in my monologue and he socked me right in the face.
"You talk way to much, let me get some sleep, It starts at 12:00 Noon, It's 9 in the morning, let me sleep for a couple more hours" Jun grumbled and turned over once more.
"I can't let you do that, we need to review over the strategy guides that a Beta Tester friend of ours gave us, how can we slack when we can learn where to go and what to do" I begged Jun with puppy dog eyes.
"Good grief, you think that trick is gonna work on me, You usually play around, but for once your serious, but I made up my mind, I will wake up later, so don't bother me" Jun growled and he proceeded to kick me from the room.
I was downtrodden by Jun's neglect at the game, but I knew he was just as hyped. I sat down and looked over the guides that our Beta Tester friend left us. Opening up the book titled [Guides of the Two Sides: An up-to-date guide to [Kingdom] and [Beasts of the Wild]], I flipped through the book to the second part of the guide.
I proceeded to read the rest of the guide, getting absorbed by their words.
Jun's POV:
That bastard Shuu, trying to make me wake up early, Even if Frontier Online was being released to the general public, I am still not the person who wakes up early in the mornings. I looked at the time which was nearing 11:15. I finally pushed myself out of bed and looked at the guide that [Pierno], the Beta Tester who put this together, got for me. "Hmm, everyone starts as a novice, and to learn skills they would have to either discover the knowledge themselves or find someone who knows of the knowledge in real life, what a load of crap this is, skills will be impossible to learn" I muttered angrily but then I thought, / If the Beta Testers have been there for a month already, then they should have set the baseline for skills that each basic class can learn, deviant/variant spells, skills, and classes can be found out as well./

I then gave a laugh, "Ha ha ah, Since its a Frontier, we all have to learn new things once in a while. Maybe I can create the ultimate Berserker class or skill. That would be nice, without a plan, then playing is meaning less." I said to myself and then the clock struck 12:00, I practically bolted to my Virtual Machine to hook myself in.
"Alright, Settings check, game check, Character creation, hmm, Command : Set Name to: [Gren], Command: Race: [Human], Command: Display [Kingdom Map]" I say in quick succession.
"Map of the [Kingdom] will now be displayed, Select which Kingdom you would like to go to: Coast Empire Seshalis, The Forest Tribes of Oakwood, the Kingdom of the Middle Plains, the Underground Villages." a female computer voice spoke to me.
"Command: Start Location: Kingdom of the Middle Plains"
"Starting location will be in the Kingdom of the Middle Plains, Select the starting village:
Janu- Surrounded by tall grass, Easy to get lost in the grass, sometimes refered to as, the village in the Wheat Labyrinth.
Ocypetes- Large farmlands, main trading complex, From time to time it is targeted by plunderers.
Higal- Despite being in the plains, Higal houses a forest that is very mysterious, Rumor has it that there are treasures deep in this forest."
"Command: Set Village: Higal" I commanded with excitement, Treasures, that could start me off pretty well" I smiled to myself and I got transported into the game.

The Card Thief of Culnivar
Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.

Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique.

He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.
