Anthony woke up, feeling even worse every time the clock ticked. For almost a week he had been caught a flu or a fever, or something he didn't realize he was getting. He went to the doctor and got some medical prescriptions, as well as advice to rest; something he rarely did. Doctor said his illness was caused by either virus, or bad weather, or stress; something he actually had been feeling for the last few weeks.
The said weeks were a total mess, to say the least. He'd been dealing with many things, many stressful things. For once he got a speeding ticket on his way home as well as a direct, impolite warning from the police of not to use phones while driving. Sure, he realized it was a bad thing, but if anything his boss should be blamed. There was a shortage of inventory in this office supply store he worked at and his boss demanded the additional purchase to be done quickly, when the store itself didn't have much money to spend on. It was a stupid idea to accept a client's big order to begin with. Anthony had warned the boss about it but his stupid-ass thought he knew better.
Things at home weren't all great either. Just when he needed the most, the hot water in his apartment didn't work. Then he found Melina's dog, Pita took a dump in one of his beloved shoes; that fat shit of a dog. And then no one at home to clean up his messed up apartment; and neither to calm him down. Melina could, but at this point, fuck her.
Their break-up was anything but nice, and Melina was anything but kind to him. And so was he. With her poor attempt to make things right and his anger rose, things escalated quickly. Further disagreements led to Anthony finally said the magic word "I'm done!". Easy as that, she moved out of the apartment the next day, leaving him be done with their relationship.

Oh well, it was his fault to say that.
By this time, the sun had already set. Anthony's chicken soup was warming up in the oven. While waiting, he lazily walked up to the counter and grabbed his phone. He dialed his workplace asked for a day-off because of his illness and fortunately he was permitted. That fat-head boss still had a little bit of brain apparently.
Besides that he had nothing else important. There were, however, several unread messages on his group chat.
Tyler: just a quick reminder, we still gonna play tonight, right?
Marcel: yeah, the four of us still do this. Whats the max player for that game mode?
Tyler: 2-8. We still have rooms for more if you want.
Marcel: well we could invite other than the guys? Like Chrissy and Kelly? We havent played together with the girls for a while. Might as well - Simone cant tho.
Scotty: actually we can. Lemme talk to Chrissy. I am sure shes good. Tyler?
Tyler: Kelly wont be back until ten, I am afraid - hey Scotty, I thought Chrissy would be playing with Mami tonight? At least thats what Kelly told me.
Scotty: yea, but I'll ask Chrissy again. Maybe Mami would like to join as well.
Marcel: wait, whos Mami? Lol
Scotty: Chrissy's friend she met online. The three of em, with Kelly often play together. Simone might know tho - yeah, I'll talk to Chrissy. I'll bring this up again later.
Tyler: okay - is Anthony woken up yet?
Marcel: okay Scott - dunno
Anthony chuckled slightly and answered something about waking up and availability to play tonight. In the meantime, he would probably go back to bed after finishing his breakfast since he didn't need to go to work. No, that'd be a lot less productive. He should go to the gym by now. Damn, he was slacking off a lot lately, definitely gaining more than a pound or two.

In the end he decided to do things he loved the most, making videos; or in this case, editing them. Looking through his file, he did have some gameplays left untouched from yesterdays' session that of course needed editing. After a quick wash-up, he turned on the computer and positioned himself, getting comfortable. Editing videos could be a total pain in the ass, literally. Having to sit for many hours on a stiff office chair was something to be taken seriously. With his fat ass, his body might get worse. Hmm... a good massage was necessary.
Yeah, Anthony probably could use a massage, loosening up the tight knot and stiff muscles. After that he would buy lunch, maybe texted anyone to grab lunch together and whatnot. He immediately remembered that he needed to buy some toiletries and extra food stock. He'd do that after lunch. After all of that he would go home, continued his edit for a little bit, asking Melina to draw his thumbnail-
Oh shit.
He didn't have a thumbnail. He didn't have his thumbnail artist. He didn't have... anymore.
Fuck.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
