《Tales of Idiots.》3. Troll!
Advertisement
"Hey, wake-up ya lazy ass."
Drake groans and said, "Five more minutes."
.....
.....
"WAKE UP!"
Drake got up and groan. "So annoying." Drake got out of his sleeping bag and saw Lester standing in front of him scowling. "Lupin said that we have to pack up and to find a town to register at an adventurer guild and then we leave for the Lunar Kingdom."
"All right."
Drake rolled up his sleeping bag and put all of his belonging into his knapsack and filled his quiver with arrows and put it on his back while carrying his bow.
When Drake met with the rest of the group, Basil was eating some berries and bugs they found, Lester was trying to learn how to read and write, and Lupin was creating something from woods and metal scraps they found from one of the Bronach Kingdom's junkyards.
Lupin looks up and puts away his unfinished invention into his backpack. "So, we're all ready!" Lupin said while smiling.
"""We're ready."""
"Alright, let's go."
*2 Hour Later*
"Are we lost?" Basil asked.
"No, we're not lost, Basil." Lupin denied.
"Then where the hell are we then eh, Lupin ?" Lester demanded.
Lupin stopped and said, "Well, we're at um, um, um...I don't know."
"So, we're lost," Lester said. "Great, we're gonna run out of food and then get eaten by some scary monster like dragons!" Lester said.
"Relax, I'm sure we can take care of anything that comes our way."
"We're fucking bronze rank! We're barely any stronger than common thugs!"
"We may be bronze rank but we got teamwork and with teamwork I'm su...." Lupin trailed off looking alarmed. He sniffed the air before pulling out his longsword. "Something coming our way." He said.

The rest immediately became alarmed and pull out their weapons.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
Drake nocks an arrow.
Basil wields his warhammer smiling nervously.
Lester wields his daggers tense.
Sweats roll down Lupin's forehead.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
What face the four was a creature that was giant, gray, and ugly. Its skin looks like stone with moss growing, its nails were yellow and chipped. It wielded a giant club and it wore a loincloth.
"It's a fucking troll!" Lester yelled.
"RRROOOAAAARRR!!!"
The troll roared as he swings his club down. The troll missed as the four mercenaries managed to dodge.
"Troll is known to prefer human's meats over other races," Drake said as he let loose an arrow that hit but did nothing to troll.
"We don't need to know that," Lester growled as he loaded another arrow on his crossbow.
"Die!" Yelled Lupin as he swung his blade down on the troll's chest, leaving a shallow cut which slowly heals as Lupin jump back, dodging the troll's club.
"I'm alright."
"Troll have regeneration."
"That we can see," Lester muttered.
"AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!"
Basil yelled as he charged, holding his warhammer up ready to swing it down only to smacked away by the troll, slamming into a tree.
"Hey Drake, how do you kill a troll?" Lupin asked as he dodged
"Decapitation, fire and acid."
"Hey Lupin, you hear that!"
"Yeah, I hear that."
Lupin replied.
"Hey Basil, try and hold the troll down, and Drake, Lester shoot him in the eyes!"
"""On it."""
Arrows were raining towards the troll's eyes, several missing and hitting the troll's chest, arms, and legs annoying it, and the rest hitting its eyes making it howl in pain.
"WWWAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!"
As the troll howl in pain Basil slammed it into the ground by hitting its back with all of his strength, the troll struggle, and Basil yell, "Hey Lupin! Hurry up! I can't hold it down for long!"

Lupin ran towards the troll and swing his sword down, but didn't decapitate it. "Oh come on!!" Lupin complained.
As the rest watch, Lupin held up his sword and swing it down again and again, but he couldn't cut off the troll's head since its regeneration helps it heal the wounds slowly but annoying for Lupin.
"Just die already!"
*30 minutes later*
"JUST DIE!"
Lupin yelled as he swings his sword down cutting the troll's head off, and finally ending the troll's misery.
Lupin fell to the ground exhausted.
"That took long enough."
"Fuck you."
Lupin glared at Lester as he breathes heavily.
"Anyways, as you were trying to cut the troll's head, Drake and I found a road that we could use to find a town."
Lupin stand up smiling and said, "So, let's go!"
Lester nodded and said, "Follow me."
Lester led Lupin to a road where's Drake and Basil were at.
Drake point to the only sign on the road said, Riverwood, pointing north.
Lupin saw where Drake was pointing and faced Lester and said, "What time is it?"
Lester pulled his flip phone flipping it open, power it up, and said, "3:30."
Lupin nodded and said, "We still got time so let's go."
The four walk down the road where the sign was pointing as the occasional cars passed them.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

My Isekai
For those not familiar with the isekai genera, this story is about a man waking up in an unknown world. The story follows his journey and life in this world, which does not only look different on the surface, but the common norms and values of this world are very alien to the modern western mindset. How will this average western person respond to such a world, and how will it change him. For those familiar with isekai, this is a western take on a predominantly Japanese story format. It draws a lot of inspiration from Japanese isekai, but it also tries to tackle a lot of tropes that might be annoying to the western mindset. The story is not written for young boys as the story tries to take a mature take on some typical clichés and assumptions made by both the typical writer and reader of the genera.
