I woke up, as most protagonists do, and opened my eyes.
Huh, complete darkness. Looks normal.
I'll just go back to sleep now...
..Zzzzzzzz...
zzzzzz...
zzzzzz...
Huh? Wha? What's that you say? I'm supposed to be doing something?
..Zzzzz...zzz...zz...z..
Whatever...I'm getting bored of sleep anyway...may as well get up.
I put my hands up against the stone lid of my coffin, and shoved it off. I sat up, and whistled. All around, looted corpses lay sprawled. I chuckled a little.
"My, my, my, my friends, you don't look too good. Adventurer got your purse? Pft, hahaha!"
I make such good jokes. I lift myself up, out of the stone slab, and walk down the long, creepy corridor. I meet a couple zombies as I walk, but they ignore me. Well, here in the tomb, we're all dead. Having something in common helps people get along, as they say. Or as I say. Can't really remember which.
I pause to pick up a long, black coat, and whirl it around my shoulders and put the hood up. That nasty sun makes getting a tan very painful, very hard, and also fatal. How I know that?
...I shouldn't ask myself tough questions. I'll tire my poor head, and that would suck.
Suck...suck...suck...right! Like a vampire! Or a prostitute! But I really hope I'm the former! Being born a prostitute is like being born at ninety years of age, and then having a heart attack five minutes later and dying, despite all of the very capable doctors around you, who were too shocked at having a ninety-year-old coming from a fetus to actually help resuscitate you, resulting in your tragic and avoidable death, but which is agreed by all as fortunate as it would have been very strange to raise a ninety-year-old.

I step out of the tomb, and start walking through the graveyard. I pass skeletals, zombies, a couple undead rats. I really hope I'm a vampire. I check my reflection in a marble tombstone, and although it's a little disheartening that I can see myself, I at least have red eyes. I check my fangs, but they don't look any bigger than the usual human canines.
It's okay, living means believing!
I do believe in vampires, I do, I do! I do believe in vampires, I do, I do!! I DO BELIEVE IN VAMPIRES, I DO, I DO!
I open the gate, walk out, then close it, and keep walking farther from the graveyard, while quietly praying to god, or the devil, or a cactus, or a tree, honestly I'll take an insomniac at this point, I just really hope I'm a vampire.
I see a person. I rush forward, open my mouth wide, dive towards his throat-!!!
*nom*
"..."
"..."
I hold on desperately, hoping that I'll be able to drink his blood. Hoping, believing, begging...
"Uh, excuse me, but...could you stop chewing on me? I'm not into men, and I don't even know you..."
I stop trying to bite him, let go, and go into orz position. "I'm a failure of a vampire..."
He blinked at me, then asked, "You're a vampire? But you don't have any fangs..."
I sobbed, "I don't know! I really want to be, but I can see my own reflection, and I don't have fangs, I just wanna know what I am..."
He pokes me and says, "Then, why not just look at your status?"
I blink at him. "I can do that? Teach me, oh great lord!"
"Okay! Just think 'Status' and concentrate. K'?"
I nod, and think Status with all my will.
"..."
"..."
"...so, what are you? Are you a vampire?"
I don't want to say. I don't want to see. All I want is to die. What I see, displayed in bright blue letters, next to the "Race" classification is,
"Lesser Weak, Feeble, Decrepit Zombie."
"...I'm very sorry."
...
I'd rather have been born a prostitute.

Against the World. Chronicles of melancholy
An unknown accident leading to an amnesia and a twisted psyche. Forced away from his daily life, forced to play the Game, for reasons untold. To fight for his survival, to fight for answers. To become strong, to fight and survive for even the chance to find out why was this injustice done to him. The only way to beat the game is to play the game. And it must be played perfectly. Chronicles of melancholy, of an everlasting grayness, of sadness, despair and anger. A tale of a rise to power, or perhaps a fall from grace. Maybe even both, depending one's view point and final goal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello ladies and gents. I hope you enjoy reading my book as I enjoy writing it! It’s a side project of mine and I can currently only write in my free time, which is not a lot unfortunately. I do not know how many chapters a week I will be able to produce, however, the word count will be around 6000-7000 per week. If you like the story you can support me on patreon and read chapters ahead of current release. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The story might not be for the faint hearted or for those seeking an over-powerd plot guarded golden cow of a mc. The story will start out slowly and will pick up a bit of pace later on on, however, the character/s will walk a long and full of despair road. No sugar-coating in this story. Another thing to have in mind is that I currently do not have a proofreader nor an editor, so some mistakes might slip through my fingers, if you notice any such, please do leave a comment so I can fix them for future readers. Do please enjoy the story and feel free to leave reviews and or comments, I am usually pretty open and would love to answer some of your questions!

The Records of Eternity: The Traveller of Worlds
There probably won't be anything much for Traveller for the next while as I honestly don't have much of an idea of what the hell I plan on doing. While I wait for another spark of genius for this I want to get out some chapters for my other works, which I do have an idea of where I want to go. So instead of stressing myself out over this bottleneck, I will be focusing on other stories until I breakthrough. The Traveller of Worlds is a tale that tells the adventure of the young Saxon girl Millie Von Augustine, though she has another name. Millie is the eldest child of the Augustine family, a noble family in the Kingdom of Saxony. Although being a woman she was barred from succeeding her father as head of the family. In addition, she has been treated rather poorly by most of her family due to her tomboyish personality. But one day as a youth, she met someone in the woods behind her house, and this encounter would forever change her fate. Moving this to have a new chapter at a minimum of every three weeks as I have started another project full time. The cover artwork was made by Nez Illust, check their page for more their stuff. You can find more information on the universe of The Records of Eternity at https://recordsofeternity.wordpress.com/ I will also be posting any updates on how things will proceed and random other thoughts pertaining to the series on my website.
