《Forsaken》Chapter 11: Terms and Conditions May Apply
Advertisement
After leaving the Ronts Manor, I head over to the Monster Stables even though it is not yet dusk.
{Monster Stables}
I head over to Mr. Balos’ House.
Knock, Knock, Knock
Hello? Who’s there? (Balos)
Mr. Balos, it’s me, Mevirs! (Mevirs)
Mr. Balos opens the door.
Oh Mevirs! Why are you here so early? (Balos)
Well I need to ask you something important. (Mevirs)
Yes? Go on. (Balos)
I-I want to go to school!!! But that means I won’t be able to work here anymore! It hurts because you helped me out so much and I can’t return your help!!! (Mevirs)
Is that all you wanted to say? It’s fine if you want to go to school, just bring along 1 of each monster you took care of. I can easily handle taking care of monsters. I just wanted to give you this job because I can see that you have talent in this field. So please, for my sake, continue taking care of the three monsters that you will take with you to school. (Balos)
REAALLLY!?!?! Thank you so much Mr. Balos!! (Mevirs)
Don’t need to thank me Mevirs, now go out and pick 3 of the monsters and bring them back here. (Balos)
Okay!!! (Mevirs)
I rush out of Mr. Balos’ House and run to the Poultrigni first. I choose the one Poultrigni that always pecks at me since I feel a closer bond with it.
Next I head over to the Aquacertas, this is going to be a hard choice since I don’t have a particular bond. Then I see an Aquacerta that is different than the others, it is dark grey and was hidden in the mud. It is different from the others because of it’s color and also that it doesn’t have a sail on it’s back, instead it has multiple spines running along it’s back. This Aquacerta is even smaller than the others. It seems that this Aquacerta has been ostracized by the other Aquacertas. I feel a connection with it… I see myself in it… being forsaken by the others of my kind… I chose him.
Finally at the Caelups pen, I choose a special looking one. This Caelups has a silver like fur, and has blue eyes, instead of the normal brown. It seems this Caelups is the Alpha Male, it is also the largest of all of them.
I gather the three of them and bring them over to Mr. Balos’ House.
Hoohhh!!! So you choose these three! (Balos)
Yes, these are the ones I've chosen. (Mevirs)
Okay, bring them inside my house.
I have a question Mevirs, who is paying for your tuition? (Balos)
The Ronts family is, I’m good friends with Adaline! (Mevirs)
That's good, if it's the Ronts family, the school you're going to is probably the Royal Spirit Academy. They don’t allow pets there, but they do allow familiars. (Balos)

So Mevirs, will you agree to form a Spirit Contract with those three monsters? (Balos)
What’s a Spirit Contract Mr. Balos? (Mevirs)
A Spirit Contract is formed between a monster and a human, it's easier to form a contract with lesser monsters than soul monsters. There also is a required familiarity level before it can work. There are also special contracts when different conditions are met. (Balos)
Okay, I would like to form a contract with the three monsters. (Mevirs)
Then let's begin! (Balos)
An... Ma... Ri... Ga... Pak... Tes…
Balos slowly points at each of the three monsters and then points at me.
CONTRACT MEVIRS! (Balos)
As Balos utters the last few words, I feel this incredible pain on my left hand.
has received the title "Life Contractor"
Aaaahhhhhhhh!!! (Mevirs)
It hurts like my hand is burning and itches like thousands of ants are crawling!
After a while the pain is finally over…
Balos examines the palm my left hand and yells!
Oh my lord!!! You’ve actually formed a Life Contract with them!! (Balos)
What’s a Life Contract? (Mevirs)
A Life Contract is when the monsters acknowledge their master and make a contract in which when the master dies, they also die. This contract also helps the monsters to more easily evolve and grow into stronger forms! (Balos)
I look at the palm of my left hand. There are 4 circles on it. 1 in the center and 3 on the sides, forming a triangle. Chain-like images connect the 3 outer circles to the 1 in the middle. One circle is red with the image of a bird, another is the color blue with the image of a lizard, and the last is the color silver with the image of a wolf. The circle in the center looks like a vortex of red, blue, and silver, combining into the color black.
Just so you know, the three monsters can be summoned back and forth from the Spirit Realm, you just need to call upon them with your mind and they will appear. (Belos)
I focus on my left hand and I think “RETURN”. Then just like magic, the three monsters turned into color beams and entered my left hand. My palm’s symbols are different now, there is only 1 large circle with the colors red, blue, and silver circling around an orb of black.
Since you are no longer working here, I won’t pay you, but I'll give you 100 Aurnia so you can nurture your familiars. Here’s a Crystal Card, it can contain money inside of it, and even if it is stolen, no one except you can access the money inside. (Balos)
has received Crystal Card
has received 100 Aurnia from
Also can you return the key to the shack since you are no longer working here? (Balos)
Sure! Here it is. (Mevirs)

has given "Key to Monster Snack Shack" to
Thank you for everything Mr. Balos! (Mevirs)
I leave Mr. Balos’ House. I think I should return the Night Owls Inn Key before heading to the Ronts Manor.
{Night Owls Inn}
Hello! Welcome to the Night Owls Inn! Would you like to stay for a night or have a meal? (Waitress)
I would like to return the key to my room. (Mevirs)
Right this way sir! (Waitress)
The waitress leads me over to the counter, with a receptionist standing behind.
Here’s the key to Room 216. (Mevirs)
has given "Room 216 Key" to
Thank you sir. (Receptionist)
I leave the inn and I start to head over to the Ronts Manor.
{Ronts Manor}
As I walk up to the Ronts Manor, I see 2 of the guards from before standing outside the gate.
Hello! I’ve come to see Adaline. (Mevirs)
Scram Ki- I mean, welcome Sir Mevirs! (Guard 1)
Right this way sir. (Guard 2)
I enter the house and I’m welcomed by maids and butlers.
Hello? Adaline? Mr. Ronts? (Mevirs)
Mevirs!!!! You’re here! (Adaline)
SO!! Have you decided to come with me?!? (Adaline)
Yes, my boss allowed me to go to school, but I have to take care of 3 of the monsters. (Mevirs)
Where are they? (Adaline)
They are currently in my Spirit Realm. (Mevirs)
I focus on my left palm and think “SUMMON” and then the three monsters appeared.
Wow!! They are SOOOO... CUTE!! (Adaline)
She grabs ahold of the three and starts hugging them tightly.
P-Please stop, Adaline. Although they are cute, they are still monsters. (Mevirs)
Awhhh… (Adaline)
She releases the three and stands back up.
Anyway Mevirs, since you decided to come to school with me, why don’t you stay here tonight? (Adaline)
Sure! I would love to! (Mevirs)
Adaline leads me to a guest room that is incredibly nice. There is a large bed, a balcony, and even a private bathroom!
If you need anything just call up a maid or butler. (Adaline)
See you tonight! (Adaline)
There are still a few hours before dinner time so I should start to cultivate my spirit.
I position myself into the 1st Form of Emperor’s Way and I start to meditate.
…..
….
…
..
.
Emperor's Way 1st Form has reached 5%
Knock, Knock, Knock
*Adaline Opens the Door*
Hey Mevirs, Oh! You’re cultivating right now?! Well dinner is ready, please come when you’re ready! (Adaline)
Okay, I just finished, I’ll be there in a moment. (Mevirs)
I get up from my position and stretch my body before heading to the dining room.
{Dining Room, Ronts Manor}
Hello Mr. Ronts! Hello Adaline! (Mevirs)
Hey Mevirs! (Adaline)
Hello Mevirs. (Adaline’s father)
I sit down at the same seat as before.
Today we will be having a seafood dinner. We have lobster, strimp, and clam chowder. There is also a side of fresh baked bread. (Chef)
Waitresses carry out the food.
So Mevirs, have you ever eaten seafood before? (Adaline)
No, this is my first even seeing such a thing! (Mevirs)
Hahaha, seafood is usually very expensive here, but we are celebrating because both Adaline and you going to school at the Royal Spirit Academy! (Adaline’s father)
We all eat our food and it is now no longer dusk, but fully night.
I excuse myself from the table and return to the guest room. I lie on my bed contemplating many things about my life. I’m looking forward to tomorrow when I finally go to school, but I’m… sad. Why can’t I remember much from when I was younger? Where are my parents? Why did they leave me alone? There aren’t any answers to my questions… yet. If I become stronger, I might be able to find answers.
I finally sink into sleep, there is a big day tomorrow.

Vigilantes Make Us Safe: Rebel Rebel
When the world was on the brink in the 1940s a group of men and women with uncommon ability pulled the world from the brink. They inspired generations to come and led to a golden age of vigilantes protecting the world. Times change. By the early 2000s almost nowhere was willing to tolerate unregulated men and women dispensing their own form of justice. The dawn of the internet made operating in the shadows virtually impossible. Everyone thought the days of vigilantes were done but presidential candidate Richard Hughes, riding a wave of populism, has promised to bring these men and women into the light and empower them to keep us all safe. The passing of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act changes everything. All teenagers feel like they don’t fit in at times. Ryaan Asfour knows the feeling well. As part of an immigrant family in a country turning against immigrants, there’s a lot of people who don’t think he belongs. The election of Richard Hughes and the passage of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act hasn’t helped matters. Suddenly anyone who wants to discriminate can just say they’re keeping people safe and do whatever they want. Sudden popularity at school after hitting a game winning shot makes it even more apparent how much he doesn’t fit in with the rest of his world. A clash with a pair of vigilantes on his way home from school puts things in perspective. What can Ryaan do to protect his family and his neighborhood? Vigilantes Making Us Safe will follow a variety of lead characters including Serenity, Toxic, Hitbox, the Rebel and more. I'll keep the cover image and title updated to reflect the current protagonist but I encourage you to check them all out.

Re:Serpent, the Struggles of a 'Snake' to Survive and Evolve...
*Heyo, Evil Overlord here. As some may know, I am the main editor of VanZans, and his fiction, Those Who Aspire to Become Gods. If you do not know, check his work out and see for yourself. This is my first story to test my skills as a writer and a story teller. This may or may not be continued depending on my choice, and available time I have.*Hello, ghost audience, my name is Heibai. It stands for black and white in Chinese, and yes I am Asian, though I grew up in America. I was an orphan, now adopted into a rare family dojo in Chinatown in a certain state. Now I am reincarnated into a 'snake'...killed by a goddamn truck, conjured by fate's sick sense of entertainment, and died attempting to save my sister (she is not related by blood by the way) when I tried to shield her from harm, and here I am...in a new world, primitive, war-torn, and semi-corrupt. Disgusted by the contents of this fantasy world, I must survive and discover the truth to my sudden...rebirth...and find my sister if she is also here, human or not. My main goal of this story...is to fight on and learn as much as I can, and my secondary goal, to see if I can return home...human or NOT.*Might include blood and some gore
