《Natalia's Fairytale》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Well look at what we have here, my mother thought to herself. Who would have known work would have followed her like this.
The human shish kabob in front of her was one of the assassins in a terrorist group that her team had just been assigned to annihilate. At least asshole Housing won't be able to yell at me now. My mom goes through this mantra while holding the assassin's head and laughing like a diabolical maniac. I am pretty sure that woman pissed herself out of fear or I would have if it was me. (Cue Shudder)
"It's your lucky day. You get to live", my mother says to the girl out of nowhere.
Just as my mother was releasing the arrow spell and closing the holes on the lady's body a little brown boy comes running out of the front door of the house. "Are you oka maim?", the he ask as he runs to my mother. She looks up from girl after putting a gag spell on her at the little boy a little surprised.
"You can see us?", my mother ask instead. The little boy shouldn't' have been able to see her let alone get this close. My mother had cast a barrier around the fighting space and a time stopping spell outside the barrier to keep civilians from getting involved. She kept an internal clock of all timelines of her spells and she knew she had at least 15 minutes left for the spell. This meant the little boy was strong enough to resist her time spell, and had the ability to dispel her barrier. A feat that not many could accomplish.
"Yes maim, I watched from the window. I was a little scared when my dad stopped moving and was about to run outside for help and I noticed the mean woman attack you.", the little boy explains.

"My dad told me not to tell anyone, but I'm a witch like you.", the boy proudly claims while puffing out his non existent chest.
My mother giggles a little at the handsome little boy. He has to be around 5 years old with deep brown skin a mini afro of tightly coiled hair. He is wearing a white cotton shirt and khaki linen pants that have seen better days. He shows slight signs of malnutrition, but not surprising as he is living in indentured worker quarters.
"Your dad must be a very smart man that loves you. How about you make a promise with me that you will follow your dad's advice and not tell anyone else unless me or your him tells you it's ok?", my mom told me she felt a little bad for this at the time. She had imbedded her words with maji particles so this "promise" was more or less a contract/curse that would force the child to abide if he said agreed.
"Yes maim!", the little boy eagerly agrees without thinking twice about it. I see why his dad didn't want him to tell anyone. Poor baby would've been taken advantage of. He is a little too agreeable, my mom thought.
"That's a good boy!", my mother says while patting his head, "Now I have to go and take this bad women and see why she was after you and your dad. But I'll be back this time tomorrow to talk to you and your dad. In the meantime I will put a protection spell on you, your father and your home so that no other bad people can hurt you until then. Can you do me a favor and explain to your daddy what happened when he moves again?" The little boy looked up at my mom like she was an angel and shook his head with enthusiasm.

"Do you have a mom or any siblings that I should know about?", my mom asked off handed. "No it's just me and my dad. My mom died while giving birth to me.", the little boy says with a slight frown. Not knowing what to do my mom just patted the little boy's head sadly.
Before heading to home base my mom went into the boy's home and put a protective spell on the kid's dad. She described him as the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on, and said the moment she laid eyes on him she knew she wanted this man and little boy to be in her future. My mom always had a tendency to be impulsive when it came to matters of attraction and dating. She was either overly into someone or couldn't care. Her lack of grey either usually caused for lots of heartbreak and problems, but luckily this time she would get exactly what she wanted.
Fast forward and the little boy and man was my dad and brother Thomas. My mom catching that woman ended up cracking open a huge case. Apparently that group was preparing to start a war for a demon king in the region that had it's eyes on the United States as it's new stomping ground. My mother and her team would go on to not only destroy the organization, but my mom would be the one to kill the demon king. This would later on be referred to as the birth of a hero in future records.
My mom would then go on to save humanity from many calamities. Not because she wanted to be a hero, but because she had a family to protect and everyone just benefitted. Eventually the king tried to bestow my mom with a title, but she turned him down every time. At first because she wouldn't have been able to marry my dad since he was a commoner. Then because she didn't want to deal with the politics of being a noble or put that unnecessary burden on her children.
My mother and father got married 3 years after their meeting and had me 4 years into their marriage once my mom finally beat the demon king and was on break. My father still worked in the mine until he retired and my mom would continue to work in the elite force up until I was 16. Then she decided to retire and just focus on raising her children and taking care of her husband. They had more money than they knew what to do with and with them living as modest commoners they had the freedom to do whatever that wanted to do. And they wanted to raise and spoil their amazing children and eventually spoil their grandchildren later on down the line.

The Defective Hermit
Vincent Standish had faced a lot of disappointments during the last five years. But things were finally starting to look up for him and in a big way too. While working the late shift at his second part time job, as a cashier in a gas station, on a whim he bought a lottery ticket which had a jackpot that had grown extremely large. Three days later he was astonished to find that he was one of three lottery winners. With that money he was able to retire, when he had been afraid that he would be forced work until the day that he died, or worse yet living in a cardboard box if he lost his two paltry paying jobs. Vincent soon found forty acres of land and quickly had his simple and robust dream home constructed. Disappointed in people, it was his avowed goal to be a hermit and shun the world. Too bad for his dreams that only a year after winning the lottery, all of humanity started seeing colored text messages before their very eyes, messages that warned of dire things to come.

And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Guys I have edited the prologue and uploaded it after I uploaded the fourth chapter. Although the story hasn't changed much, I have tried to make it flow smoother. Added a few more details to the life of Aarav and stuff like that. Might wanna take a look at it. P.S. - Guys this is my first story. I am trying to learn English better but since I don't have enough money for books, courses or tutors, so your criticism and support will have to do. This is my first time, so please be gentle.

Midnight Origins: Arrival
On a lush planet known as Bhar, Verun is now the leading nation in the development of the rivaled schools of Magic and Science. Having brought forth an era of peace and prosperity for themselves through the development of Magitech, The High council was eager to spread their knowledge and beliefs to the furthest reaches of the continent, with the goal of ending senseless conflicts and prioritizing advancements in Magitech and improving the quality of life. This ambition, however, is not without opposition. Most followers side with one school or another, believing it is superior in nature. This conflict dates back to the very beginning of civilization itself, where it is believed by both sides that their gods descended from the heavens, bestowing upon them the knowledge that would bring the world into a new age. And though some took great interest in their differences, others would seek to convert each other through any means necessary. That being the case, The High council, leaders of Verun, had made the necessary preparations to handle threats and attempt diplomacy between the remaining opposers. Talented volunteers were hand chosen to be among the military, tasked with protecting the nation from both internal and external threats. And although non-biological creations have improved quality of life, they are not yet capable of replacing the military. The necessary research and development for such a thing was thought to be decades away, until Councilman Eranor encountered an anomaly in his facility…
