3rd person
Austin liked to talk a lot.
He liked to talk about old hobbies, interests, ideas ext.
He used to just talk to himself in the electric chair room, but since he was "friends" (gay for) eteled, he had someone else to share this with. He had talked with him for a few months, though he never thought that eteled actually listened to him, but it still liked to talk anyways.
One day, they were having a conversation as usual, Austin doing most of the talking and eteled doing most of the listening. As Austin was talking, he mentioned his favourite colour.
He stated that this said colour was black, though he had informed that it was red not long ago.
"I remember my favorite colour was.. Uhm, oh! Black! Right!-" He said.
Eteled interupted.
Austin gave him a suprised look, shocked that he remembered, or even payed attention at all.
"Oh right- Uhm y-yeah, it was uhm.." He stuttered, feeling slight tears prick his eyes.
He concerned, moving closer.
"N-No it's fi-ine I just- .. Didn't think you actu-ually payed attention. I kn-now its stupid. So-orry." he replied, his voice breaking.
Eteled was kinda suprised by his response.
He admitted.
Austin was completely taken aback by his response.
He actually listened.
No. Not only that.
He cares so much that he made a whole journal dedicated it.
Austin went from tearing up to silent sobbing, covering his face with one of his hands.
"S-sor-rry." he quietly apologised again, embarrassed.
Eteled cupped Austins head in his hand and wiped away the tears from that half of his face.
Eteled smiled at him reassuringly, causing Austins heart to flutter (GAY HOMOSEXUAL :D)
Eteled then pulled his hand away and pulled in Austin for a hug.
After awile of eteled whispering sweet nothings to Austin to calm him down, austin fell asleep, soon followed by Eteled.

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.

Author here, just wanted to say that if the synopsis did not sound as exciting as I had hoped it would be, try reading the first 10 chapters? I promise it won't be terrible! :) Whoops, forgot to mention, prologues don't count as chapters! If you've read this far, I might as well tell you what I was inspired by! However, this does NOT mean my story will be similiar in any way to the novels/stories/books listed below. By 'inspiration,' I refer to mainly how the characterizations plot devices, dialogue, conflict introduction/resolution, and thought processes are used and introduced in those works of literature. But in a way, you can interpret this list as, "if the author read and was inspired by these novels, then it's possible that we share similiar tastes, so I'll give this story a try." :) -Those Who Aspired to Become Gods: A darker fairy tale novel (My all-time fantasy favorite despite it being unfinished) -Forgotten Conqueror (Second all-time fantasy favorite) -Brandon Sanderson's The Reckoning trilogy (Third all-time fantasy favorite) -Kel Kade's 'King's Dark Tidings' -Brent Week's Night Angel saga -Red Rising trilogy -Infinite Realm: Monsters & Legends -Reborn: Apocalypse -Reborn: Evolving From Nothing -48 Hours a Day -The New World -Creep -Arrogant Young Master Template A Variation 4 -Can't Cure Deceit -Super Minion -Unparalleled -Unbound -Wake of the Ravager -Overgeared -Solo Leveling -The Tutorial Is Too Hard [email protected] -God of Money -A Snake's Life -The Snake Report -The Tower of God -UnOrdinary -Release that Witch!
