《Lost Things》Chapter X: Just A Little Crash
Advertisement
“Don’t worry about me, I can handle this,” John said as he got Zoey’s arm off him, before walking away. He half-expected her to follow him, but nope—and that’s good. She didn’t have to bother him while he sorted things out at the end of today’s work.
Once that was done, John headed back to his house with a certain numbness in his mind. It’s probably just the usual tiredness, as he paid little attention to it—until he got inside his house, talked to Virgil for a little, and…
That was all about what John could remember before he woke up in his bed. It was already nighttime—how did he end up here? Wasn’t Virgil talking to him just then? Where did he go?
As John jolted up from the bed, looking around for any clues about what had just happened, he only noticed how his bedroom door was opening slowly.
“Virgil?” John approached the door, and he was greeted by Carson instead. Carson had a bowl of soup in his hand, and he looked worried. “What’s going on?” John asked.
“You fainted.“
“What?”
“I heard you fainting from the other room, and Virgil was all panicking.“
An awful realization had just hit John—he was just exhausted, right?
“Eh, whatever. Just get back inside. I need to get this bowl down somewhere. Virgil made this for you.”
Knowing that he hadn’t eaten anything, John ended up eating dinner in his room, with just Carson. Once he finished eating, he asked, “Where’s Virgil?”
“Sleeping.”
“And what are you doing here?”
“Virgil asked me to check on you. He’s sleeping.”
“Huh.”
As John stared at the soup in silence, Carson offered to get the bowl downstairs, leaving him alone in his bedroom. Knowing that it was getting late in the night, John should’ve been asleep already. He better wake up tomorrow, check on Zoey, and—

Carson returned just right on time. “Oh, I forgot one thing. You don’t have to go out to work tomorrow, if you know, you don’t feel like it. I could send you the letter to your guild office.”
“I’m not even that sick.”
“Eh, I don’t know. You seemed pretty miserable recently. I thought you could use some decent break.”
Even Carson noticed that, huh?

Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.
