《Asher the Insane》Asher the Adventurer
Advertisement
I was on my way to the adventurers guild to sign up as any anime protagonist would.
I was already an adult so I couldn't go to school here anymore, so this was the best way to start my journey.
What kind of persona should I take?
I didn’t have a gun yet, so my options are kinda limited.
But I do have a katana, that's a good start.
Edgy lone wolf or cocky brat or even silent weirdo?
Should I just be another anime swordsman?
Feels a bit empty, doesn't it?
Well, what can you do?
After I earned some money I could change my equipment to fit another persona.
I also looked kinda bland, I didn’t have the typical anime character look.
“Hey Faye,” I said to her, the was walking next to me, “is there a way to change my appearance?”
“Generally there are no good ways to change a person's appearance permanently, there are a few ways to change it for a while. There are other ways but you would not like them.”
“Great, come back to me with that when we have some free time.”
I entered the guild house and walked over to the receptionist, an old dwarven man whose beard reached the floor.
“Excuse me, dwarf. I and my companion are looking to sign up.”
“Hold on, what do you mean by ‘Me and my companion’? I never said that I would join you in your profession.”
“What’s the matter, you're stuck with me until I die so why not just do the same thing I do.
We’ll just double our money so there’s no problem.”
“Hmpf, fine,” she puffed.
“What are your names?” The dwarf asked.
“I am the black swordsman, the alpha and the omega, The humanoid typhoon, Asher Burell and this is my lovely companion Lady Faye Paragon.”

“What are your classes?” he asked after an awkward pause.
“I am a first-grade warrior and mage and thief and warlock and cleric and assassin and priest and alchemist and farmer and cultivator…”
A minute later.
“…and that’s about it but I don’t know what Faye is good at.”
I looked at her and she spoke up.
“I am a mage.”
The dwarf scribbled for a while then handed us two necklaces.
“Here are your tag. Congrats, you're part of the guild now as glass rank members.”
“What are ranks, my good man?”
He exhaled loudly and said in one breath, “glass, bone, copper, iron, silver, gold, platinum, mithril, obsidian, diamond.”
Impressive.
"Let's go, Faye."
I looked at the quest board and browsed the notices.
I had no money and needed as much as I could get my hands on.
Now let's begin our ADVENTURES.

13.AI
AI means Artificial Intelligence. But those words don't match Al, either of them. Neither Artificial, nor Intelligent. At least not at the beginning. No, an AI requires input, trial & error, and careful observation. But at that point, what makes it any different than human? How are binary choices any different than the choices in a human life. I wager that there is no difference. But what will he think?

Wings of Sorrow
Tension permeates the city of Bleakridge as forces within its walls struggle for supremacy. Grim Thorne, the disinherited son of the Earl, is a fly caught in the web of power struggles between these forces. When Grim closes his eyes, he can still see the bodies piled high from the first day of occupation. The day he was branded a bastard in the southern fashion. The day his father let them. Soldiers from the south bearing green cloaks and royal seals maintain order in the streets of Bleakridge, ensuring that the lifeblood of commerce continues to flow through the port city. In the slums beyond the outer wall, the Sons of the Reaper lurk. Some call them heroes, others villains. But all fear them for their relentless devotion to the old ways and the freedom that entails. In the castle above the city, resides the Earl of Bleakridge. The man who bent the knee and saved the lives of his people, if not their souls. After twenty years of occupation, the tension is coming to a head and Grim has to choose. Sympathetic to the Sons, duty bound to his father, and forced into service to the king. He must rise above the brand on his neck and decide where his true loyalties lie. But, after so long, it can be hard to tell who is deserving of loyalty. The King’s men who enforce order with a blood-soaked iron fist? The Sons who more resemble terrorists and crime lords than revolutionaries? Or the father who watches the bloodshed and does nothing? In the end, it is always the place of the young to bear the sins of the old.

The Pharaoh's Dancer
"Do you know what to do, Amunet?" A voice as sweet as silk whispered into the young girl's ear. Amunet didn't look over her shoulder, but shifted uncomfortably on her bare feet before nodding her head. A soft hand touched her back and urged her forward. All eyes turned towards the girl dressed in transparent linen with her dark hair tumbling down her back and her violet eyes lined by kohl. Every movement caused the jewels on her wrists and ankles to dangle and shimmer in the light.She raised her head and found the Pharaoh's transfixed stare. His jade eyes narrowed in on hers and the room became still and silent. Amunet bowed and, at the pluck of a harp string, began to dance.---cover by @AddietayDoes contain reference to some mature themes that may not be suited for a younger audience.
