《Fall》Chapter Fifteen
Advertisement
Mikasa had for forced Annie to go down stairs and socialize with Eren so she could clean up their room. She loved Annie but she was kind of a slob...
She picked up a soda can off ground and three it into the trash can she was holding. Now that she was finished with the floor she moved on to the dresser they shared. Mikasa got the right side and Annie got the left. She began taking things off of the dresser and put them into it. She moved a folded piece of paper out of the way revealing a small lighter.
"Why would Annie have this...?" She wondered out loud to herself. She shook off a bad thought and decided it was because there were candles in the room even though they rarely ever lit them.

Meanwhile downstairs, it was the 10th time Annie had beat Eren at Mario Kart.
"You really suck at this game, don't you?" She paused the game and stood up.
"No, I don't!" He protested, "Where are you going?"
Annie shrugged, "Upstairs, I guess." She made her way to the staircase leaving Eren behind.
"Didn't Mikasa say she wanted to be alone while she cleaned your room?" Eren asked still sitting on the couch. Annie didn't respond, she just kept walking. She realized that if Mikasa was cleaning their room she would probably find her lighter.
...and her- She ran up the rest of the stairs and ran into the room.
Mikasa had made the room practically spotless. Mikasa didn't seem to be freaking out so obviously she didn't find what Annie had been hiding from her.
"Hey." Mika smiled at Annie, jumping down from her top bunk. "Are you ready to go?" She asked.
"Y-yeah." She didn't know whether she was nervous about the date or if Mikasa had found it.

"Awesome." She replied. Mikasa was wearing a black shirt with white hoodie and a leather jacket. She was also wearing shorts and her favorite converse. Annie thought she looked like crap compared to her. Annie looked amazing in Mikasa eyes, though, despite her looking how she always did. She was wearing a black t-shirt with a navy blue hoodie and a pair of shorts. Mika was glad Annie finally decided to not wear that old hoodie she had for once.
The two girls walked down stairs together, saying bye to Eren as they walked out the door.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

For now i will publish small chapters for i am not very confident in this, but as i write more and gain some experience i will release longer and better ones. Also English isn't my mother language so any advice or correction is welcomed.
