《The Egotistical Ruler [DROPPED]》Chapter 8:The Second Early Wave III
Advertisement
First off I can see whoever is reading my FF and how many and I'm honored to have over 500 views on some of my chapters and eccentric personas like xsomeblackjewx reading my FF. Also yes I use Oxford Commas, don't hate.
After opening the gate Kyle, Keith, and Katy ran out and were about to set out when they heard some cussing behind them.
Keith helped Emperor up while saying "Why didn't you tell us you were back?"
Kyle also helped Emperor up "Where were you?"
Katy said "Tom told us you were out in the forest playing with the monsters."
'Oh yeah there was these guys I forgot about them. More importantly the quest.'
-No time for questions, quick run ahead and warn everyone, there's another early wave coming that's even bigger than the last one.
Hearing Emperor's serious tone(mainly greed for the reward) the kids ran off assuming his tone meant the situation was grave.
Quest Complete, Reputation with Gerussia +50, Familiarity with the Village of Sicheren Untergang increased, LevelX2
Quest:Drunken Sprawl
Difficulty: D+
Time Limit: 1 week
Thanks to your prewarning the villagers will stop celebrating and become on guard to attacks. This will delay the early wave for 2 days and allow the villagers to hold out for a week. Convince the villagers to attack the wolves before they hit or help out in the village defence.
Reward: Based on contribution
Failure: You die or the time runs out
Effects of failure: Village of Sicheren Untergang falls and becomes a monster den
Extra: Attempting to crush the wave alone will increase the difficulty to B
'Wow the game really wants this to become a monster den but its mine.'
-I accept, I will not allow the start of my glorious empire to fall here.

Quest Accepted
'Now to prepare, if I time it right I can complete 2 quests at once. First off is my armour next is convincing the denizens to rally behind me.'
Emperor headed off to the blacksmith shack and found the partygoers sobering up and some of them taking up weapons. Schmied was laughing jovially seeing as his stock was saved from the party.
'Wait the people are still here and drunk so it should be easy to convince them now.'
Emperor climbed onto a pile of scrap and shouted over to the people.
"Listen here! Will all of just continue as you are now! Covered in dirt, disheveled and distraught little lambs waiting for the big bad wolf to gobble you up! Rise up bring the fight to them, take up your weapons, prepare them, and then cut down the enemy before they even come close! Will you forever just repair the walls and drink waiting for the day you die, or will you unite under me and fight back! My name is Emperor and I'm your future lord, follow me as I will strike down this puny wave then find the source!"
Skill use successful, Skill leveled upX2, Stat leadership created
The people cheered together and rallied together. Despite their lack of sobriety they began sharpening their weapons. Schmied also affected got up and was about to head into the forge.
-Wait Schmied, can you repair my armour.
Schmied responded "Dat's no problem 'ere we go. But it's covered with dirt n' grime especially dried blood. 'E could scrape it off but the armour is sh*t so instead e'll just melt down some scrap and patch 'er up. Should take about 4 hours 'ive or take."
'I think I'll go to sleep so I'll just recommend some adjustments'

-Well the wave won't happen for at least 2 days from the looks of things so do whatever you can. Also add on more jutting pieces because they cut up those wolves when they ganged up on me. I have a feeling I might end up in the same situation. Especially this crownlike part, it's good for my image so make it longer and shiny. People like shiny things.
"Well alwighty then, see ya later den."
Emperor was leaving when Schmied said his goodbyes so he waved in response and left the shack. The partygoers cleared out so the scrapyard was empty except for Tom who was still dancing and too drunk to be aware of what conspired there.
-Log out
Lynford got out of his Coma and thought of something.
'CLIFFHANGER'

Cymurai
In a dark future, something ancient and immeasurably powerful walks the mutant wastelands...Kensuke is a lowly ashigaru footsoldier in the Tachiyama Clan, one of the few remaining human settlements in a dark, post-apocalyptic future. Thousands of years in the past, deadly nanomutagens were released across Asia, killing hundreds of millions and transforming billions more over subsequent generations. Those who remained immune soon moved into enclaves. In Japan, the feudal system revolving around the samurai class was revived, and resource wars became common.In the present, the Tachiyama Clan is under attack by the brutal Sasagawa Clan whose goal is nothing less than the total subjegation of all remaining human enclaves. Both sides take to the battlefield with human soldiers, robots, and the powerful Augmented Samurai -- cyborg warriors who do battle by plugging into six-meter-tall mecha.Hard sci-fi samuraipunk action!Posting schedule will be slightly faster in the early chapters as I have most of them ready to go. Later chapters will take more time. That said, the outline is written and finished. I imagine the full work will top 50,000 words.Please note: The first 9000 words of this work were posted recently on Patreon (free) as part of a 30-day writing challenge.

Ruins of Dalághast
I've been writing for as long as I can remember, but I'd always been torn between different projects. That's why I decided to dedicate myself to a pretty strict schedule of writing and editing a single chapter every month since the start of 2019. This is an ongoing, work in progress novel that follows a ragtag group of sellswords as they delve into a lost city on the edge of the known world in search of their fortunes. Within, though, they find much more than they ever expected and find themselves in a race against time to unravel a mystery centuries old. For those who want to see my work months earlier than it will be released here, alongside exclusive artwork and other perks, consider supporting me and my work on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/atlaswrites
