The Unclaimed Ambassador
Rewrite Progress (2022-08-02): 12 out of 14 chapters. The latest version of each chapter is always available here. A man suffering from a magically induced amnesia attempts to understand the workings of a foreign yet not so different world. His alien nature proves to be a barrier in more than the figurative sense, however, as he finds himself unable to partake or even perceive the most crucial aspects of the natives' interactions. This imperviousness makes him a useful tool in the eyes of many, securing him a chance at survival for the meager cost of his self-determination. These are his struggles as he slowly grows out of his meekness and tries to take back control of his life. Release Schedule: Nonexistent. Publication is inconsistent.
