《Loser of Tarinath》Alternate titles: Question from the author
Advertisement
Hey everyone,
Still writing, but it looks like the story's about peaked in reviews, so I thought I might look at an alternate book title. A few people have said Loser of Tarinath is a terrible title, and I agree, but I was kind of playing around to see if something called that could actually do well. One of the underlying ideas of the story was to see if I could turn the name Loser into something that didn't make you cringe after a while. Still working on that part.
Anyway...titles. I'm really not a marketing kind of guy, so I'm listing a few ideas and would appreciate feedback, or even suggestions.
Oh, I have this thing for exclamation points. It's a sickness, so don't hate.
In no particular order--
Kicked in the Balls: Jake's tale
Adventures in Tarinath
Sentenced to Tarinath
Asskicker of Tarinath
(not sure this one could be posted, but I kind of liked it)
Mace to the Face: Jake's adventures in Tarinath
Heal this!
How you like them kittens!!!
(Just kidding, and no, it's not a question. Yell it like you mean it!!)
Lots of Sex!: Adventures in Tarinath
(Going for the lowest common denominator. Oh, and truth in advertising is right out. It would also be kind of interesting to see what kind of reviews I would get)
Blunt Weapons: Less blood...More pain!
Holy Fire: Feel the Burn!
Blood & Brains: Living in Tarinath
(Figured it would grab the fight junkies)
Kill them All: Problem solving in Tarinath
(Again, going for the violent crowd)
So, give me your thoughts.

Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World
The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game. In this game, Nie Yan prided himself in his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit. However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
