《The Life of a Wizard》Overcompensating
Advertisement
What the hell James!?" I yell.
James gives me a perplexed look. "What?"
"I told you to bring one ship with you, right?"
"Yes? And I did just that." James replied.
"Okay, but why did you bring that one!?" I exclaim pointing at the ship outside my office.
"What's wrong with it?"
"'What's wrong'? James, that ship is as big as Vale itself. For crying out loud, that thing looks like it could destroy a kingdom in an hour." I exclaimed.
"Three and a half actually." James corrected.
"I don't give a shit, James! Get that shit out of my house!" I yelled.
Winter takes a step forward. "Sir, please. General Ironwood only has the best intentions for humanity in mind."
"Not now, Winter. Can't you see the adults are talking!?"
Winter's dumbstruck by the headmaster's attitude. "E-Excuse me!?"
"You are excused."
James slams his hands on my desk. "Ozpin, this is ridiculous! Besides, the council has put me in charge of security here so I'm not going anywhere."
"Then I'll march up to their offices and shove my cane up their asses!" I yelled.
A crow flies in through a window and transforms into Qrow. "Hey I'm back and saw that big thing in the sky. What did I miss?"
"See for yourself." Glynda points at two headmasters arguing about James big ship.
"Hm." Qrow takes a swig of his flask. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say Jimmy is overcompensating."
Glynda furrows her eyebrows. "Don't be ridiculous. James is not that juvenile."
"That's not what I'm seeing." Qrow told her.
Glynda just sighs as she feels a headache coming and takes her leave before it gets worse. 'I wonder how Siegfried is doing.'
I let out a sigh. "Whatever, I've struck a deal with Roman Torchwick. He'll be our eyes and ears on Cinder's little club for a while. They've already infiltrated the academy as students from Mistral."
"So what's the plan, Oz?" Qrow asked.
I take the Gendo Pose. "Let them think they have the upper hand like before. If they want to hit us hard, they'll need to hack the CCT first which can only be done through my office." I turn to my monitor and type something. "And when she tries, she'll be in for a surprise." I had an evil grin on my face. "Heheheh..."

Qrow leans towards James. "Does Oz look a little... evil to you?"
"You're not seeing things Qrow." James said.
The dance is at full swing with the students (and some teachers) dancing, drinking, talking, and making out. Glynda, James, and I along with a few professors watch them from the sidelines. I can see Jaune with a black tuxedo with a yellow best dancing with Pyrrha who's wearing a red dress. They seem to be having a pleasant time together.
That is until Yang barges in from seemingly nowhere and tries to have her way with Jaune which made Pyrrha extremely angry. The two girls start fighting and they notice Velvet approach Jaune and spirit him away, all the while giving the two girl a cocky smirk.
Meanwhile, Ruby has this constipated look on her face as she watches on from a distance.
I am one hell of a matchmaker.
"Master."
"What's up, Siegfried?" I asked.
"The two accomplices that you told me are on their way now, without their leader." Siegfried states.
"Good." I said.
"Is it time yet?" Glynda asked.
Just then, Emerald and Mercury appear without Cinder as expected.
"Showtime." I tap my cane and vanish in emerald light.
This is just too easy.
I easily infiltrated the CCT tower without much effort, the guards "guarding" the entrance were pretty pathetic to look at; a simple tap in the back of the head was all it took.
The general's drones would have made a better challenge.
I walk up to the elevator and hit up button.
The elevator stops and doors open to the headmaster's office. I take out the Scroll with Watt's virus. He's insufferable but at least he has his use from time to time.
I plug it into a nearby port and the download begins.
"All too easy." Soon, victory will be mine.
"What!?" I exclaim.
"What do you think of my little buddy? I had him set up in case some dumbass tries to hack my computer."
I turn around to see none other Ozpin standing behind me. "Ozpin!?"
"Were you expecting someone else?" Ozpin asked.

"But how-!?"
"Plot. But seriously, did you actually think I was going to let you out of here alive?" Ozpin asked.
I stare at him before a smirk forms on her face. "No... I suppose not." Two glass scimitars appear in my hands. "I'll end your life here tonight."
"I'll take that bet. Now... hit me with your best shot!"
I charge in for an attack, but the bastard blocks it with his cane and then kicks me in the stomach. He wastes no time and sends a series of jabs that drain my aura faster then I realize.
"You've activated my trap card." I snap my fingers.
"Wait, what-" One of the gears from the ceiling falls mere inches from my head as it hits the floor with a loud thud. I didn't have time to react as Ozpin rushes in, his face sporting a large grin as he punches me in the gut with inhuman strength enough to destroy my Aura and leaving me defenseless.
All of the air in my lungs is thrown out as I begin to choke from the lack of oxygen and the incredible pain I've been inflicted.
"Pathetic. You think that just because you have a powerful Semblance, a clever mind, and a ragtag group of misfits following you around makes you powerful, right?" Ozpin laughs. "Please, you're just a kid playing villain... complete with spandex."
"You dare..." I was at my limit. This senile old fool thinks he can mock me. ME!? "YOU FUCKING DARE!!!!" I let the power of the Fall Maiden loose. "When I'm done with you, I'm going to get the rest of the Fall Maiden power and THEN I'm going to hunt down every single student in this academy and burn them at the stake!"
Ozpin stays frozen in place, likely frozen in awe and fear of my power.
"Pffft..."
What?
"Oh god, could you be any more edgy? As if the name 'Cinder Fall' wasn't enough for you." Ozpin chuckles.
"Why!? Why aren't you afraid of me!? I took down the previous Fall Maiden, I am the strongest in all of Remnant!" I exclaimed.
"Please, you must be naïve to believe that. So what if you manage to beat one Maiden? In case you didn't know, there are three other Maidens out there who are older and more experienced than you. You really think you have the strength to beat them all and take their magic?" Ozpin asked.
"It is my destiny!" I yelled.
"No. You're destiny starts right... now!" Ozpin exclaimed.
I suddenly feel something colliding with me and it sends me forward right in front of Ozpin and he pins me to the floor with his cane. I look up only to be startled by Amber coming out of shadows.
"Remember me? Yeah, you do." Amber said with venom in her voice.
"Impossible, you should be crippled!" I yelled.
"I fixed her up, good as new." Ozpin kneels and raises his hand. "And now for the finale."
I scream as I feel a force ripping my soul in half. I try to fight it, to resist it but its too strong. "What are you doing!?"
Ozpin puts his hand out and Amber takes it and yellow aura begins to envelope her. NO!
"What have you done!?"
Ozpin stands up. "Giving the power back to where it belongs (for now at least)."
"You bastard! That power is mine! I deserve it!" I yelled.
"Shshshsh... do you hear that?" Ozpin asked.
"What?" I snarl.
"Ugh, professor!" Amber recoils in disgust.
Suddenly, a burst of rose petals litter the office and red whirl turns into a girl.
"Hands up! You're under... arrest...?"
"Ah. Ms. Rose. A little late to the party and must you make such a mess?" Ozpin asked. "Could you call the general for me? Tell him the pest problem has been dealt with."
"Fuck..." I cursed.

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.

Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.
