《EverLast(Stopped)》Chapter 4- Training
Advertisement
(Note Switched the word continent with kingdom.)
Inside of Burich’s home, Hector realized that the inside looked bigger than it looked from the outside. Accepting Burich’s invitation to sit, Hector sat down on a wooden chair and began to inspect the room he was in. The walls were made out of wood and decorated with weapons of all sorts. There were axes, swords, bows, shields and other weapons.”Are these magic weapons?” I asked myself in a low murmur. “Oh no they’re just normal weapons, I just really like the way they looked.” Burich said across the room while messing with a weird machine.”How did he hear me?” Hector wondered.
“Do you want coffee?”Burich asked. “Coffee?” Hector replied in confusion, Hector heard that word being spoken by some nobles before, but never knew what it was.
“Oh, right hehe. Coffee is a beverage, you know…” He paused for a second to think.”Like tea. Im pretty sure you’ve heard of tea before?”. “Yes.”. Hector nodded. Tea was cheap and easy to make, so his mom made a lot of it.”But no, I don't want any, thank you.”
“Do you know why you’re here kid?” He asked,”Training.” Hector replied. While feeling his long white beard, Burich looked at Hector and asked,”Is there a reason you want to be a knight?”
Hector thought for a second,”To make my family proud and help them financially.”
“...”
Burich continued looking at Hector as if he expected more.”Thats all?” Burich said.”You don't want fame? You don't want Power? You don't want women?, Women!?!, hmm you are very different to the others.”,”Fine kid, follow me.” Burich said as walking towards a double door. Burich opened a door that lead outside, to his back yard.”Wow, this place is huge!” Hector said in amazement, how can someone’s backyard be this big, Hector began thinking.”If I layed down, 10 of me could lay down in a line.”, Burich raised his head, Proudly.
“Do you have a magic weapon boy?” Burich asked and Hector nodded. “Bring it out.”,
Hector began to concentrate on his dark silver ring, and in his mind he said,”Night’s Edge!”

silver light began to swirl around his hand and afterwards a flash of light appeared. The strange sword appeared in his hand as he looked at Burich. “Hmm, that is a strange sword… But how did you release it? you didnt say its name…?” Burich asked thinking.”I thought about its name…”
Hector replied.
“Voiceless release… That’s a high ranking skill… Well thats good, saves me time teaching that to you. Seal the weapon we will start training now.” Burich suggested. After Hector sealed his weapon, Burich started walking away saying,”Now give me 100 push-ups when you’re done come find me inside.” and then he entered the house.
“...”
Hector stood there, thinking desperately.”What! I can barely do 10 push ups, and he wants me to do 100?!”, Hector began to sweat. Burich’s head popped out of the door with a smile on his face and said,”Oh! you are only allowed to drink coffee. And if you want to eat, you better be finished the pushups!”. “Torture… This is torture…” Hector thought to himself and began trying to do the pushups.
3 days have passed and hector has making huge progress, the coffee made him faster and more willing to workout,”What sorcery is this?” he always asked himself. “98”, “99”, “100!” Hector finally finished and stood up, even though he had just finished he still had energy. Hector walked inside the house and spotted Burich, sitting down drinking coffee, reading a paper that was on his hands.
“Im done Teacher.” Hector said with excitement, Burich looked at him, but his face still faced the paper and said.”Go to the kitchen, to your left and eat something, and afterwards go to your room, located right next to the kitchen and take a shower, you really smell. When you feel better do 100 sit ups, and when you’re done that do 100 jump squats.”, Hector didn't complain, in fact he looked forward to these exercise. If this made him better he would be able to become a better knight and help his mom out.
Hector went to the kitchen and noticed a huge golden chicken, just now did he notice the delicious smell that made his mouth water. Beside the kitchen were rice and beans, a mountain of fruits were farther behind the kitchen. Hector quickly ate all of the food on the table.”I can’t believe I almost died of hunger!”, he said with a mouthful of food. After he was done, he took a rest and quickly went to his room.

Just like the rest of the house the walls were made with wood but it wasn't decorated, the room was plain, with just a window and a bed. He noticed a door to the right of the entrance, he figured it was the bathroom and entered it. The bathroom had a cinnamon smell to it. There was a Bath at the end of the room. Near the door was a sink with a mirror and a toilet next to it. Hector took off his shirt looking at the mirror. Hector noticed that his body changed a little, Muscles formed around his torso and arms. He examined his face, filled with dirt. His pale skin and his shadow black hair was dirty, from the training, “I guess I do need to clean up” Hector said as he walked to the Bath.
A few days passed again and hector have also finished these exercises, but this time he took a long rest after finishing them. Noticing hector was done, Burich walked over to Hector holding a bag.” Put these on.” Burich said as he took out a few things out of the bag. The first thing was a vest, and as Hector put that on he was able to feel the weight, of the vest. It was almost 40 pounds and if it wasn't for his exercises he probably wouldn't be able to wear it. He also received bracers and leg bracers the same weight as the vest and Hector was having a hard time moving. “ Now do all of those exercises with these weight on.” Burich said with a smirk in his face. Without complaining Hector tried, “1”,”2”, “Bang” He fell to the ground unable to hold up the weight, but he didn't give up. He tried again.
2 Months have passed and Hector was able to move around freely with the weight on. It was like the weight became a part of him, the weight strangely enough had no weight. Through those 2 months Hector’s body changed, even though with clothes on he still looked a bit skinny. When he took off his shirt the Muscles could be seen. Hector also got really close to Burich, and they were like close friends.”Hey Teacher are you a knight or just a trainer, and what is the current situation with the war against the demons?” Hector asks as he was laying down on the grass after finishing a few workout. Sipping his coffee as usual Burich answered.”Kid, I was one of the best knights in the our nation nation. Right now our kingdom of Nora is in war with the demons. But we arent the only want the demons wants a piece of, our kingdom’s neighbors are also our allies in the battle against these demons. Lilith and Lonz, even though they are small kingdoms as well they have strong knights.”
“Demons aren't easy to fight against, that is why we haven’t won the battle yet. The demons just like knights are ranked based on their powers, from F to S. But demons aren't always in the for of monsters, some take the form of humans and others are even special weapons.” Burich finishes speaking.”Wow… But wait… If you were one of the strongest knights in this Kingdom, why are u here, and not helping the Kingdom?” Hector asked. Burich put his cup down, something he rarely did, and his usual smiley face turned serious.” The reason I stay here and not fight is because, I lost my special weapon…”.” Why not get a new one?” Hector suggested and felt his ring get hot.
“Special weapons arent toys! and once and individual gets close to their weapons its hard to be with a new one… I tried but… None of them were like my “Golden Protector”. “I apologise.” knowing that Golden Protector was his weapon Hector didn't ask much anymore. “Now lets get back to training.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow.

Project TheirWorld: Book Two - Tatterskin
**IMPORTANT: Because I am trying to reconcile some of the consistancy issues due to unexpected changes in how I've decided to write the story, this story is to be renamed/reordered. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) is now to be concidered as Book One of Tatterskin. Tatterskin will contiune without real inturruption, though "Book Two" is really going to be the rest of the series with multiple volumes. Sorry guys! I've gone and brought the chaos of my real life into the storyverse T-T. ----- Dassah Graydon was just another human woman looking for adventure in her life when she moved to the academic floating continent, the Enclave. But while she wanted to escape her mundane reality, she quickly discovers that her life there – with the exception of all the crazy aliens and the unusual setting – was no different than her life on Earth had been. After spending a couple of months getting used to the place, she finally got the chance to play the popular new VRMMORPG, TheirWorld. As she is drawn deeper and deeper into the game, however, she begins to realize that her in-game life is far more connected to the happenings of reality than she could have imagined. Finding herself in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens her life and the lives of the people around her, Dassah must decide whether she allows herself to be a puppet, or she finds the determination to become the master of her own fate. This is a Project: TheirWorld story, and there is a prequel story, The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) but if I am doing my job, you won't need to have read that to enjoy this one. ____ The story will usually update once a week, sometime on Fridays JST. The updates on Royal Road L will be about 1 chapter behind my main WordPress site found here: Project: TheirWorld. This will change, as the WordPress site will have holiday releases and RRL will not. Thank you for reading, and the support! :) ____
