《Duorbis: Colission of the worlds》Chapter 15: Gaiya the spirit warlock
Advertisement
Despite everything, Gaiya was a weak person. she was a 25-year-old girl trying to improve herself in healing magic. Her goal was to become a doctor. At least Ozmar thought so. Gaiya was born in the city of Limen and grew up there. Her mother and father were fishermen. Her grandfather had taught her father, and her father had taught her mother how to be a good fisherman. This family, who have been fishing for decades, realized too late that they needed more money for Gaiya to go to the Academy of healing magic. When Gaiya was given a few simple potion bottles, a spell archive, a healing history, a heart sense (a stone that serves to listen to the heart), and a mini golem, they lost all the money they had saved for their daughter's school. Her father was not a good mathematician. He didn't understand economics either. He was just a simple man who made money and bought things with that money. He was an old man with calluses on his hands from years of fishing, old hair, and white softened horns. All he wanted was for his daughter to be better than him. When her father realized that the money they had could not afford more, he went to meet with the director of the Limen healing academy. After telling the secretary, who he thought was the principal, how successful his daughter was at school, that she had been helping her family and working for years, and that she was very kind-hearted, he was kicked out. All he wanted was a little help.
Normally, the ministry of magic administration had a charity fund for such situations. But this charitable fund was going to the insatiable relatives of bureaucrats. Girls like Gaiya, who was hardworking and intelligent, but had no money, were left behind. At the end of the day, her father returned home crying. It wasn't that he was battered or couldn't find help for his daughter that upset him. The main thing that upset him was that his pride hurt. He worked with honor for many years. He raised a beautiful and kind-hearted girl. And in return for all this, the world's justice threw him into a corner like a worthless insect. He closed his eyes to his ideals, his dreams. He was just a simple bug. On that day, he and his whole family with him discovered where they were in the eyes of this cruel world. Two days later, Gaiya still hadn't left her room. She was eating dinner in her room, which was never possible for her family. Her father had strict rules, and meals were always eaten together at home. But in this exceptional case, Gaiya had lost her dreams, and her family had lost their hopes. Gaiya was crying in her room. Her eyes had grown like the eyes of a sorcerer. Because she punched the wall so often, her hands were covered in blood. It was as if her anger would melt mountains. She was shouting. This anger was neither at the Academy, her poor family, nor her unfortunate fortune. She was angry that she was no different from a helpless insect crushed under the rules created even before she was born. She was born as an insect but would not die as one. She would come to a better place by rising through the ranks of the world she was oppressed by.

She thought about it for a while and started asking herself questions. Did she want to be strong? being strong, it was very difficult to look for logic in the foggy curtain of her anger. But she realized that she did not want to be strong. If the world was hers, would it change anything? that was impossible. Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in her head." If I can't change this world, then I'll change the other world," she said. She was holding the book about forbidden healing magic she had taken from the library. She couldn't remember the last time she had looked at this book, but if there was one thing she remembered very clearly, it was that the begging spell to the spirit keeper was forbidden. In the past, people used to call on the spirit keeper to resurrect people who were about to die through certain spells. In return, they would lose what is known in the book as the great sacrifice. Of course, no one knew what it was. It was strictly forbidden to cast such a spell, and the punishment was definitely death. Gaiya knew this well. She couldn't cast such magic without knowing what she would lose for the sake of a ridiculous dream. She gave it some thought and gave up.
A few weeks later, Gaiya was spending her days fishing with her family. The Academy was now inaccessible to her. She didn't mind it so much. At any rate, she was happier. One day she went fishing with her father and mother. They had to fish more that day than on other days because they had an agreement with a restaurant. Since they had spent almost all their savings on Gaiya's equipment, they needed a lot more money. For this reason, they were working even on this day, which she thought was the most severe storm this year.

Gaiya usually stayed home in such weather, her father couldn't stand wearing out his delicate daughter. But this time, her father didn't feel sorry for her, probably because he had lost all his savings for nothing. So, in this icy weather, he, his daughter, and his wife went to sea together.
-I'm setting the sails, Daddy.
-Don't do that! Are you stupid? We are going to sail in stormy weather? Are you trying to screw us up?
-I'm sorry. I-I didn't know.
Gaiya started crying. Her father had never insulted her like that before. On top of all the disappointments, getting a scolding from her father in such weather was the last straw that had been accumulating for days.
-Everything is because of you! I am not a fisherman who would work on such a boat! I'm supposed to be a healer. We're still fishing because of your ridiculous family traditions. Whereas my uncle offered you a job to work together, and you continued fishing because of your stupid customs.
When her father heard these heavy words, he wanted to cry, but he didn't even dare to do it. All he wanted at that moment was to disappear. He wanted to die. Maybe he was praying to God inwardly. Nothing had hurt him as much as these words he had heard from his own daughter.
And at this point, as if God had listened to what he said…
A giant wave hit the ship. And her father fell from the deck into the sea. In this storm and on the moving boat, that meant death.

The Hand of Sigmar. A Warhammer Fiction.
Adebar von Bolstedt was a normal young Aristocrat once. Third son of the middling von Bolstedt line of Altdorf, capital of the prestigious Empire at the heart of the Old World, but when a quarrel with his brother escalates he decides to leave his pampered home, and soon finds himself stranded in the countryside. When confronted about his presence he claims to be led by the God-King Sigmar, but with the name of the Protector of Mankind come his responsiblities. Soon Adebar finds himself tasked with ridding a town of a mad killer, and settling some lethal family quarrels.Word from the AuthorGreetings! The Hand of Sigmar plays out in the much beloved Warhammer Fantasy setting (owned, of course, by Games Workshop). Do not fret, however, as I've made it a point to make the story digestible even to the uninitiated, and maybe even be a good introduction to the setting. This work will be shorter overall, partly because its born out of a sudden passion, partly because I thought I'd try my hand at a more comfortable story than the grim darkness of the 41st Millenium (psychotic murderer and fraudulent holyman included). Depending on how this does and my time allows more adventures may be coming.While I cannot claim the places, concepts and gods etc. mentioned within as my own, the story and all characters flowed from my own fingers.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
