《The King Of Sloth》Chapter 8
Advertisement
The capital is massive. That's really all I can say to describe it. Its walls are huge and there are so many guards, that it makes me think that they're about to go to war. They're not right? I asked James but he says he has no idea. Well whatever, I'll just have to keep a look out to make sure I'm not apart of it.
We arrived at the gates and started lining up. The lines not as long as you would think, it only took ten minutes to get to the front. Probably because it's the afternoon. Now for my first real problem since coming to this world. Identification. Apparently it costs money, which I have none of. Well James says he'll pay it for me. Although he says I'm gonna have to pay him back. I wonder, how do people earn money in this world? Besides from the obvious ones, I know of Monster Hunting, Healing (like a hospital that uses healing magic), Blacksmithing, Alchemy and Enchanting.
Out of these all I can do is Monster Hunting and that sounds like a pain. I'd rather not have to travel around, it takes too much effort. I'd rather just settle down somewhere quiet and sleep. But that most likely, will not happen. Since the only Skills I've got are used for either killing or possibly menial labour, which in all honesty I feel is worse than Monster Hunting.
Well since I'm finished thinking I should go speak with the guard.
1 Hour Later
I don't understand what just happened. At fist they were acting normally, about to give me my ID. Then they said they just had to do a quick status check. Now this is where things started going wrong, what they saw on their little crystal ball thingie was this:

At first they reacted by gaping at me, then they ordered someone else to take their places while they brought me through the city. Making me stand out in the process, I seriously hate being stared at by groups. We had stopped at some freakishly expensive house that looked almost completely deserted. They told me to wait outside and I did. For and entire half a hour. I am now currently just standing here. Waiting.
I wonder when they are gonna come back?
I stopped counting and just started dozing off, I made sure I didn't fall asleep. As much as I wanted to just take a quick nap, I new that I wouldn't wake up for a long while so I restrained myself.
It took them a while but they finally came back with some rich guy, probably a Noble. From the way he looks I can tell he wants something from me. I'm getting a REALLY bad feeling about this guy.
This is going to be such a pain in the ass.

Shared Universe with my other story, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/41575/the-archivists-petty-revenge Also posted on Scribblehub. Based on the description of traumatizing content, it's worth noting that this series normalizes tax evasion and other such crimes. Also is vaguely GirlsLove-ish.

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
