《Ramblings of a Bored man》Prologue : Philosophy Master

What… does a person need to live?
Is it strength? Or is it authority, maybe even comrades..
All of those answers are correct, but one thing is missing.
Independence.
All of the former answers lead to independence, except for comrades, since they have to make up for what you lack, while the others don’t.
Whether it was obvious or not, the majority will answer, “Power”, or “Strength”.
Problem is, “Power”.
What type of power?
Authority is power, comrades are power, strength is power, intelligence is power, electricity is power, etc..
An omnipotent power?
Yeah, that might be it.
… But, contrary to your expectations, that doesn’t work.
No siree, no one have true “Power”, only, just a little bit of it, and if you utilize it well, it might make up for the lack of others, and lead to “Independence”.
Enough about that, it has become too general, hmm?
All of this was useless, just a short introduction, for what?
Yes yes, for extra lines… well how about this, I’ll write a three words, each word is in one line, now that would be enou-
No…?
Each letter on one line then-
Still no?
Fine, fine fine fine fine fine fine fine…. Let’s just stop dallying about and get to why all this introduction was written, hmm?
No… I didn’t die.. Probably?
Ha ha, jokes on you, I didn’t.
I’m an ant, just a tiny ant in this large world…
One that has actions that might never affect it, never at all, or would I?
Questions questions, you probably stopped reading at this point, if not, then, congratulations, what you just did was survive for more torture of a read, hurray!
ALRIGHT, I GIVE UP, NO MORE QUESTIONS, NO MORE SPECULATIONS, NO MORE OPINIONS ON LIFE.
This is it, the moment of truth…

I am…
A Japanese high schooler who was reincarnated into a fantasy world, got myself a harem just a year later, made the demon empress into one of my harem, then came back to my original world, the great world of technology, where skirt flipping is the norm, and my big boobed childhood friend acts like a tsundere, and many more…
Ha.. HAHAHAHAHA, preposterous, it can’t be.. A… a.. aa....a.. Another Japanese reincarnation story? NOOOOOOOOOOOO
SAVE ME, GIVE ME SALVATION!
Well, guess what, twas a lie, let me tell you the actual truth….
I am a part of the superheroes called ‘The Coloured 10’, using our great prowess, and our great mechas, we fight those who invade us, be it from a crack in space, or from outer space, by the way, I’m yellow.
But you are a man, you even said so when you said ‘made the demon empress into one of my harem’.
Good job, really, good job..
Well, YOU ARE WRONG.
IT WAS ALL A LIE, I’M DEAD!
I’VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS, YEARS AND YEARS, BUT GUESS WHAT?
Nothing..
Not a damned thing.
No reincarnation, no memory deletion, no fellow dead people to share tales with, nothing…
Insane, is what I have become.
Insanity is what anyone will become in this state, any other is abnormal, but you know what?
I don’t care… I don’t caaaaarreeee.
Everyone always had an the sane and insane sides of the coin, but the insane side was stuck on the ground with gum.
BUT IT HAS AWAKENED.
...for what?
If you ask me, being insane in moderation is waaay better than being sane all of your life.
Blah blah, come on, Random 4th Wall Breaker, why don’t you get into the story?
Just hold on, let me tell you my life story, my daughter’s, my wife’s, and the neighbor’s, it will be fun.

No! Stop him, do not let him blab any further.
Oh darn, the ‘Anti Time Wasters’ are here.
….or not.
So.. there you have it… I’m a random, dead, yet not really dead, person, who just likes to speak to himself.
..
---Chapt-
What, I still haven’t said my name yet?
This man’s name is….!
…
---Chapt-
NNOOOOOOO!
Why can’t you let me end with a cliffhanger, you filthy mongrel of a writer.
...what?
You are too bored to stop?
I swear on my dead body if you don-
---Prologue end---
Great, was that hard now?

Cymurai
In a dark future, something ancient and immeasurably powerful walks the mutant wastelands...Kensuke is a lowly ashigaru footsoldier in the Tachiyama Clan, one of the few remaining human settlements in a dark, post-apocalyptic future.

Those who remained immune soon moved into enclaves. In Japan, the feudal system revolving around the samurai class was revived, and resource wars became common.In the present, the Tachiyama Clan is under attack by the brutal Sasagawa Clan whose goal is nothing less than the total subjegation of all remaining human enclaves. Both sides take to the battlefield with human soldiers, robots, and the powerful Augmented Samurai -- cyborg warriors who do battle by plugging into six-meter-tall mecha.Hard sci-fi samuraipunk action!Posting schedule will be slightly faster in the early chapters as I have most of them ready to go.

Ruins of Dalághast
I've been writing for as long as I can remember, but I'd always been torn between different projects. That's why I decided to dedicate myself to a pretty strict schedule of writing and editing a single chapter every month since the start of 2019. This is an ongoing, work in progress novel that follows a ragtag group of sellswords as they delve into a lost city on the edge of the known world in search of their fortunes. Within, though, they find much more than they ever expected and find themselves in a race against time to unravel a mystery centuries old. For those who want to see my work months earlier than it will be released here, alongside exclusive artwork and other perks, consider supporting me and my work on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/atlaswrites
