《Shadow’s World》69. Isis back story part 2
Advertisement
“On the day the game was released, my master starts at a village near my barrow. He was an introvert and despise people. He left the starting village and went out into the forest. That wasn’t a very smart move because they were monsters in the forest that killed him. My barrow was half of the day walk from the starting village and it took my master over a week to get there because of the wolves and foxes. They killed him many times while he was walking through the forest. It might have taken a shorter time if he would have fought them instead of trying to friend them. He tries making a contract with them but failed and got killed for it.
So, after a week of dying over and over again, he found a group of rabbits in a mellow eaten grass. He meets my brothers and sisters. Now, because they are supposed to be a beginners folder they ran up to him and attack him. Now, their attacks did no damage and my master thought they were playing with him. It turns out my master skin harder after the wolves and foxes kept biting him. With that, my master tries to get my brothers and sister to make a pack with him. They refuse. My master was confused. The reason being in the beta all you need was a contract and the animal or monster would agree to sign it. In the full game, my master needed to befriend the monsters or animals. Master didn’t have two brain cells to rub together but he was a good guy. Instead of leaving the game and going on the net to learn more about the game, my master instead starts to play with my brothers and sisters. If he would have read the manual, he would have learned that he just needed to give them some food and they would have made contact on the spot. Instead, it took a week for my brothers and sister to gain enough friend points to make a contact with master. Stupid, stupid, stupid master. I miss him so much.” Isis starts to cry. I pat her on the head. She sniffs and asks, “Where was I?” I reply, “You were on the part were your master made a contract with your brothers and sisters question why didn’t you make a contract with him as well?” Isis starts to laugh. She says, “hey, do not jump ahead of the story wait. Now, just because they made a contract doesn’t mean my brothers and sisters was going to show my master the way to our home.

My master starts training my brothers and sisters in the art of war. This is the time where he started to teach my brothers and sisters element powers. Not only that but he also made a training course. He made them jump and run through obstacles. He also made charts of different animals, monsters, and humans. He showed them their weak points and how to attack them.” “Wait!” I shout. “I thought you said that your master was stupid. Can he be stupid doing stuff like this?” Isis laughs and replies, “When it came to warfare my master was second to none. He was born in the wrong era. The place he was born was at peace and there wasn’t any need for a geranial. On the other hand, my master didn’t care about anything that didn’t contain to war. He didn’t like people but wanted soldiers. He didn’t want mindless soldiers he wanted soldiers that can react and had a sense of self. So, that is why he choose the class of beastmaster but it was a class made for him. Now after training my brothers and sisters, he had an army of 30 rabbits that can strike humans weak points and use the elements. My master took his army on a test drive. He took the 30 rabbits and attack the starter village. It was the start of a legend. An army of rabbit destroys an entire town and left no survivors. The incent became a worldwide story. The weakest creature in the game destroys an entire village not only destroys an entire village but wipe it off the map.” “ Wait, why would a game make headlines around the world?” I ask. “Oh, I keep forgetting my life is the exception, not the norm. As I said before we didn’t have wars on my planet and games became something to substitute it.

The game was called Kings. The objective was to become the king of the humans or the demons. There were other options but those were the two that the company marketed. At its peak, it had 4 billion individuals on at one time. Every few decades a new huge game comes out and most people on my planet play it every day. They didn’t really need a huge workforce everything, for the most part, was automated. The humans live simple lives, but they did love their games.” Wow, 4 billion people playing one game. “So it was a huge deal when rabbits destroy the village?” I ask. “Yes, it was a huge deal. There were over 300 people in that village and the weakest creature in the entire game wipe it off the map. How do you think people responded to this news?” I shook my head. “I bet they were shocked.” “Yes, nothing like this has ever happened before and it turns the world upside down. But there was something else it did. Because of this victory, my brothers and sister decide to show my master our home. It was a barrow with over 200 other rabbits and me.”

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
