《Re: Pessimist》Chapter 13: A Challenge
Advertisement
"So... how are you going to get into the dragon's valley?" My sister so clearly doubted my abilities? I think it's high time to show her what a asshole with an enslaved goddess and an magical index can do.
Sophia isn't a slave, Ewan...
Oh Flare... Flare, Flare, Flare... just how in the world did you confuse us?
Now isn't the time for divine arguements, it's time for an interesting and both stupid method of getting into the valley of dragons. I've already gotten an idea which meets those requirements; I will not speak in anything other than song lyrics or song titles.
Why...?
Because this book wouldn't be interesting if he did it normally.
Book? Sophia are you writing a biography of me? If so then please omit all the parts where me and Flare talk about her mensturation periods, because nobody wants to read that.
ONE TIME! WE TALKED ABOUT IT ONCE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T THINK GODDESSES HAD PERIODS!
Yeah... go ahead and omit. If people do want to know why she's cranky for two months or so however--
Ewan, I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk about my periods to Sophia.
I'm pretty sure she already knows.
Wait... you guys couldn't possibly be unaware that we're in a book, are you?
I guess I should have expected that you were writing fan-fiction of us. So what are the pairings? Is it me and my sister? I'm pretty sure Flare has already written that. I'm still very sure that Flare is also my sister.
Sophia writes fan-fiction? More importantly; she writes fan-fiction of US?
Theories aren't fan-fiction and what I'm saying is that we're all in a book! All of--
Sophia...?
I think she suddenly had a surge of new ideas for her fiction and decided to write them all down. I am actually curious what the fan-fiction is like...

"HELLO! ALFRED ARE YOU THERE? YOU ARE CONSTANTLY STANDING COMPLETELY STILL AND IGNORING YOUR SURROUNDNIGS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DON'T SAY YOU'RE TALKING TO A SLAVE AND WIKIPEDIA!" I can't believe my sister would so rudely interrupt a conversation like that, then again if she's related to me I'm pretty sure I can expect that.
"I was talking to my Slave, Wikipedia is writing fan-fiction." Now that I'm back in reality it's time I go ahead with the new challenge I've set! Using only song lyrics I will somehow obtain the ingredients I need.
It's been around twenty minutes of us standing outside what looks like an outpost for the Dragons but it's infact the very valley I'm seeking for my materials. The humanoid guards were a bit creeped out by the fact that we've been standing here for twenty minutes just staring at them. They were quite startled when we actually moved towards them and there was of course... a long awkward silence.
"Hello." Well, it's a song. "It's me."
"You're kidding... this kid is the Dragon Elder?" This guard is really good at dropping information for me to use.
"I cross my heart and hope to die." I don't expect for this to work... but if it does then it will be damn good.
"We apologize for our rudeness,great elder!" They bowed hastily and gestured for me to enter the outpost, me and my sister made our way inside and she still couldn't believe it.
So somehow just saying three lines of song ended up with you becoming a Dragon Elder?
I think this is going to be fun.
"Just how did that work?" Sylvia was facepalming, legitmately.
"Dragons are gullibile idiots who believe whatever you tell them." That's what I can tell from this so far.

Or the dragons sensed your incredibly dangerous presence and just believed you because you only an elder would pose so much of a threat, unless of course they know about the power of Void and they don't believe you.
Oh great, you're back. So what is the fan-fiction about?
Is it me and Ewan? Because I am not comfortable having some sort of story like that with him.
You aren't in a position to be choosing men, Midget.
Well that says a lot then, doesn't it?
Yes it does, you fussy paedophile.
It was a journal.
Which you're detailing how you think every relationship will turn out since you have a love for fan-fiction.
Why did you tell us that we were in your journal?
To record your reaction.
For the journal.
Exactly.
"Where are we headed next?" Sylvia questioned, I suppose that is a good question. Where are going next?
"To the leader, since that's where you mostly get all the main quests from."
"Fair point."

It serves mostly as a template for translation. Release Date will be once a week at least. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ollowyn’s Leben begann nicht wie jedes andere. Geboren mit schlohweißem Haar wurde er gemäß alter Traditionen als Neugeborenes im Wald ausgesetzt. Dem Willen der Götter überlassen wartete das hilflose Kind auf den Tod. Doch die Götter zeigten Erbarmen. Ein Wolfswelpe, kaum älter als einige Tage, stolperte verirrt über Ollowyn. Halb erfroren und tief müde kauerte es sich an seinen warmen Körper. Als es nur Stunden später von seiner Mutter gefunden wurde, roch Ollowyn bereits wie einer der ihren. Adoptiert und umsorgt wuchs Ollowyn unter Wölfen auf. Er lernte nach den Regeln des Rudels zu leben, und kämpfte stets darum zu überleben. Mit den Jahren wurde er stärker als seine Brüder und Schwestern, jagte mit anderen Mitteln. Doch trotz tiefer Liebe für seine Familie, stellte er mehr und mehr fest anders zu sein. Er besaß kein Fell, keine Klauen und so sehr er es auch versuchte, seine Reißzähne würden nie Beute schlagen. Was machte ihn anders? Der Drang nach Antworten wuchs mit jedem Tag, bis er im Alter von sieben Jahren schließlich aufbrach um Antworten zu suchen. Doch nach tagelanger Suche und durchdringenden Hunger brach er schließlich auf einer Straße zusammen...

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.

RE:Hero
Many lifetimes ago, Roy had been offered a choice after his passing: to make a deal with a Goddess where he would help her save countless worlds from certain doom in exchange for immortality. Fearing death and the unknown that lay beyond, he took the opportunity to be sent into realms of fantasy, sometimes succeeding in his mission, other times failing, trapped in a cycle of starting from the beginning over and over again. Each reincarnation left him a little more broken, and eventually, he found himself sent to worlds where there was no great evil to fight. No doomsday looming on the horizon. Yet he still prepared himself for the worst each and every time, until he finally broke and gave up, only to find the Goddess did not allow slacking in the sacred duty he had been tasked with. Now, he seeks to free himself from his bonds. How many more worlds will he need to traverse to find the power to end the cycle?
