《I Will Pave My Path With Blood》Am I Alive?
Advertisement
As I look up at the vast sky its color no different from all the other times that I have looked upon it. Yet
today in some way it looks different. May it be the fact that everyone I have everyone know was
massacred yet I feel no remorse for such. I've never really had any strong emotions that have held
deep inside of me, and the only time that I do is within the sight of blood. It fuels me, it keeps me alive,
it makes me feel like I'm not just an empty shell. Some may call me heinous or what not, while I have
no opinion on the matter. I don't care how others see me I'm the only one who can
truly know what I am.
"Sir, what may I get for you" Looking up while deep in thought I look up at the
waiter. Currently I'm resting at an inn. My new master as you may have guessed (the dude in the dark
robes). As I've chatted with him more I've figured out a few new facts about him. His name which he
bestowed upon me is Noah. Not a name that you find often. Since he was willing to share with me his
name I decided though, worried shared with him my name "Alex". To me Alex meant truly nothing, it
was just a word like any other and in looking back I wish I could forsake my own name as well.
Looking across this small wooden table I stare directly into Noah's dark grey eyes, the unmoving
nature of them are quite unreal. He tells the waiter "we will have your soup it will serve its purpose".
In staring at this man before me I realize that he truly doesn't appear to be like anyone else. He
always wears his dark long hood never showing me what he truly looks like which has me very

cautious.The waiter leaving with a short nod heads back behind the counter to prepare the meal.
Nosh then looks back at me the smell of blood is apparent in his wide grin. He then says "well young
lad I hope you don't mind your meal, but it's serves its matter nonetheless. Now you may be curious
as to where we may be heading well it's a place that I call home in many regards. I've taken quite the
liking to you, in fact you remind me of myself in my younger years but, that can be taken for what it
will.
It will approximately take us just a week to be where we are headed and I'm sure you will find
this place quite "comforting" as it may be" In ending his speech the food arrives. Both of them seem to
be cheaply made but to me it's alright I quite enjoy my soup from time to time. Taking my hand I
slowly take a sip of the vegetable soup before. It seems to be of the plain variety and start to drink it
whole. As you may not know it took us about 2 days to reach this inn and I've barely have had
anything to eat. I was quite famished. My clothes of the last were quite soiled with blood so I
happened to get a new pair. I now wear a long brown cloak and my other clothes appear to be ones of
a servant boy. My eyes dull as they always were bared no mind to my new clothes. After finishing our
meal we decided to take rest for the night for the journey ahead of us. In our room there were two
beds one for me and one for him.
As soon as we entered the room, he handed me a red bracelet and
he told me "sleep with this, it will give you all the knowledge that you will need". Not knowing what he

truly means or caring for that matter I put it and lay in my bed. Raising my hands towards the ceiling
I am witnessed towards the dilapidated ceiling above me head and the images of the scene that
occurred at my village run through my mind. You may think that in my enjoying of the carnage that
laid before me I enjoyed it that I relished in it well I did for that matter but, there is a side of me that
cares about those around me and it cares about the many friends and family I've had my entire life
but, I hate that side of me.
It's so weak. It's so detestable. It just makes me want to run an iron rod
through my body. I don't care how many years it takes but I will find some way to rid myself of this
humanity that I posses but in joining this man or creature, I will lose it he promised right? With those
last thoughts I slowly close my eyes unprepared for the dreams that followed.

Loremaster: A Progression Dark Fantasy
Serena had died a Celestial. One of the few who were meant to rule over the vast multiverse. Yet she was inexplicably reborn. Carrying the knowledge of her past life, she seeks to do what her kind does best... rule. Yet, the multiverse isn't what it once was. Mortals aspire to become what the celestials once were, through levels or classes or cultivation. New things that didn't and shouldn't exist. And these mortals are only the beginning of what stands in her way. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Warning: There will be times that morally suspect themes happen. While I have little to no intention of showing them (especially during a Writathon) things like abuse of all kinds (neglect, emotional, mental, spiritual, physical and sexual) can or be implied to have happened. These are played to the horrors such things are, and are treated with the seriousness and aftereffects it would cause. Progression + Cultivation + GameLit + Multiverse + Slow Build + Slow Burn + Worldbuilding + Grimbright + Multiple POVs = Insanity for all. This the first time I am seriously writing an original story. I will be Writing each book in Parts/Arcs (3-6) with mini arcs (3-6 in each arc). Each Mini-arc is 5-14 or so chapters. I like progression stories and I've always wanted to try and write one like a few of the web novels that inspired me. The Game Lit aspects will be more in the background, with focus on other details like dungeons, monsters, loot, morality, and so on. There will be focus on various kinds of progression. Updates 3-5 days a week (Usually weekdays). Chapters will be roughly 1000-2500 words and alternate wildly.

Eater of Spirits
Story is abandoned. There will be no more updates on it. Jarod is kind of a loser, as it goes with these stories. A tear in his reality pulls him into another world, where he gains the ability to devour spirits, the locus of magic within the world. This is far from my first foray into fiction, but it is my first time posting anything to royal road, and first time writing LitRPG. This is an exercise in putting things out there, and just writing. That means that all of this is going to be a first draft, where edits may come sparsely if there is a glaring issue or something I think should be better. Thanks for reading!

Captain Critiques: A Grumpy Pirate Review Book
(CURRENTLY OPEN)When it comes to reviews, I'm probably as harsh as the hellhole most story ideas crawl out of. I'm blunt, sarcasic, to the point and I know what I like in a story. As you can probably guess, you don't wanna take my advice if your like an overprotective mother about your story. Who am I kidding, EVERYONE is like that about their stories.But, if you could find the courage to pry the story out of your cold, crabby hands so I can give my brutally honest opinion then be my guest. Just don't try and start a fight once I provide it. You DON'T wanna fight a pirate. .................................. I reserve the right to decline stories as this will be taking up quite a bit of my time and if I say no, I mean NO. If your blurb is unreadable I will decline it. If it includes the genres mentioned in my 'Hell No' section then I will send it back where it came from.Do NOT critique the Captain.
