Entry 2: Riloth 19th the 2nd
Dear Spellbook,
I don’t know why I’m writing here, but what else am I to do? Today has just been the strangest day. Everything is the same. Yesterday, I woke up dead to the world, with something that could be described as a bad hangover if the same way a kraken could be described as a big octopus. I think I was poisoned, I know I drank with Trish last night, but what did we drink? Well, whatever caused this also robbed me of any sleep, so on top of the head splitting, ear piercing pain, and nausea, I was so very tired.
That was yesterday, and today—despite falling asleep in my bedroll on the road—I woke up in my room at the Parlor, once more ill and exhausted. Is this real?
I left my room, in a daze, only for my confusion to grow deeper. I ran into Trish, and she—after mocking me for being in public in a robe and calling me an Apprentice Wizard of the Towel—acted as if yesterday hadn’t occurred. Daulf didn’t mock me, but he looked concerned and checked me over, but refused to do anything for my state, knowing that Trish and I had been up late drinking. Who knows where Roland was off to. I came back here to rest. I slept a few hours, and I still feel awful, but at least I can think a bit clearer.
Did I dream all this? It can’t be. It’s all so clear. I’ve lived this day before. Or was it some sort of vision?
That’s insane.
Right?
What is happening? What should I do?
I wish my parents were here, they’d have a plan. Well, my father would have a plan, and my mother would enthusiastically support it.

What would my father do if he were here? He’d make some theories to test. Well, he always said that the best way to come up with a good theory is to come up with a bunch of theories and rule out the bad ones.
Theories:
I am insane or dreaming and none of this is real. I am under the spell of some powerful being. This is real, the world is resetting each day and I am the only person who can remember the previous instances. This is real, the world is resetting each day and I am not the only person who can remember the previous instances
Theory one: What if I’m insane? If I am, I suppose this is all pointless since I can’t rely on my own mind to help me escape. If this is the case, I must hope Trish and the rest will find a way to save me.
The same applies for theory two. If someone is powerful enough to target me with an effect like this, I have no hope of defeating them alone. I’ll need to keep in mind that this all may be an illusion in case a flaw is revealed, but operating under the assumption that this isn’t real isn't an effective strategy of getting things done.
So how do I go about testing theories three and four? Three is probably the worst case scenario, but also less likely. Why would I be singled out for this? What’s special about me?
If this is real, four is the most likely, but in that case I may be in danger. Maybe some forsaken forces are behind this and I got wrapped up by mistake. I better keep a low profile until I learn more.
If tomorrow I wake up, and it’s the same day, I need to start trying to figure this out. Hopefully if I lie low, I can catch other people aware of the situation and get some leads.

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
