《Sitting Under a Torn Umbrella》Burden of Expectation
Advertisement
Burden of expectation is no doubt very weighty,
It destroys aim at life with heavy casualty.
Some ambitious guardians do force their offsprings,
To choose a egregious option for career building.
They do not read the pulse of their children's propensity,
Only have a dream a daydream without having knowledge of profundity.
A student has his own perception,
To ponder over his career best option.
He wants to be a doctor or an engineer,
It is his freedom to make a choice for his future.
But who does listen to whom?
Aspirant guardians stand before them with a boom.
A young learner blooms by his inborn capacity,
No need to lay down any condition for having best quality.
Upon them, very often unscrupulous parents put down heavy pressure,
Driving by the capricious attitude and sudden emotional conjecture.
Being pressurized, the poor chaps oblige to change their option,
And at the last willy-nilly they take the burden of expectation.
As a result what comes later,
A huge frustration, acute depression and even final departure.

Polly and Drake
Drake has been searching for a job as a personal guard, but wherever he turns, he is kicked out without fail. It's not that he's terrible with weapons, or inattentive. It could be because of his obvious racial heritage. Or because of Polly. With his funds dwindling, the only remaining option is to become one of the Cursed: poor souls that work for the Dragoneye Guild. In other lands, they may be called adventurers, saviors or even heroes, but not in the White Desert. Here, they are shunned and ignored. Depraved people who forsook their humanity for money and fame. With this choice, Drake may not only fall from grace, but also become one of only a few thousands capable of unearthing the secrets of ancient times. If he could get this guardsman notion out of his head. May contain gore, violence, profanity and traumatising content. Taking another shoot at this writing business. I write for fun and when I have time. There is no plan. The story may change drastically from what it starts out - or not. We'll see what happens. Currently, I'm aiming for a Slice of Life with LitRPG elements at a later time.
