"Now that you have become my apprentice I can show you the basics of blacksmithing." He turned and went towards forge, I followed after him, the best part about becoming an apprentice is that I would be able to improve my skills when watching Sardrock forge.

He starts by adding coal to the forge and using the bellows to get to the proper temperature to melt the iron ore, after watching him add the metal so it can melt down he then pour the liquid iron into the mold, wait for it to be a bit more solid then break the mold out, then turns towards the anvil and starts to shape the iron into a sword . I watch as he continuously goes back and forth from melting reheating the metal to shaping it with his hammer and anvil and cooling the metal, then finally honed the blade, it takes a total of 2 hours to finish creating the weapon.
He walks over to me and hands me the sword, "Take it."
"But didn't you just put your hard work into this sword so how could I take it?" I had never been a blacksmith so I didn't know why he would want me to take his sword.
"You have become my one and only apprentice, of course, I have to give you a gift." he was adamant on giving me the sword.
I ended up taking the sword and used identify on it
Iron Sword (Purple - Epic)
Iron sword made by the Divine Smith Sordrock for his precious apprentice.
Level required: 10
Attack: 20-30
Strength + 3
(Appraisal Required)
I was shocked by the sword he made, not only did was it purple grade, but it also required an appraisal, meaning that not all the stats are being shown on the sword, I couldn't get over the fact that it was purple, of course, the only negative thing about items you equip is that they glow the weapon-grade, meaning that my sword would glow purple showing people I have a purple grade weapon, making me a target for more and more people.
Fortunately for me, I am not high enough to use this sword yet, so I can avoid drawing attention from people by using a purple grade sword.

Noticing the time I decided to log off.
...
After logging off I started to prepare food for the family, my parents were watching T.V in the other room, I could hear them chatting with each other about me.
"What do you think she does in that capsule all day?"
"She's young, let her play her games for a couple of years, then she can get a job."
After that they stopped talking and continued to watch T.V. until the food was ready.
After eating food, I went back to my room and slept.
...
When I woke up, I had a shower, ate breakfast and went back into Pandora.
Walking back to the blacksmith I noticed that those people who I hadn't seen for a while were back, and they were causing trouble for Sordrock again.
"Whats wrong with you this time?" I walked up and asked them.
"Its none of your business." The lackey behind Dominator Chris replied arrogantly.
"Well it is, I am the apprentice at this blacksmith." I replied seriously, I had started to treat the NPCs with just as much respect as my parents, so when they started to make trouble with Sordrock I started to become furious.

Keeper
When I first woke up I knew only three things: My name is Reiza, I have a seed I need to care for, and a song. I was told that the forest I woke up in was mine and that I needed to take control of it and protect it. The only things standing in my way are nature itself, a bunch of strange floating boxes, and a group of crazy powerful creatures known as the forest queens. Sounds pretty simple right? It might be if it weren't for the fact that I have absolutely zero memory, but hey at least I know my name. Also apparently my enemies aren't only inside the forest. Forces from the outside got news that somthing was going down in my new home and are coming to crash my party. Can I claim this forest? Can I protect it? And most importantly can I figure out who I am and what's going on? I'm not sure but I'm going to try. Hey everyone I'm fairly new to writing novles and this is my first time ever putting my work on a site like this one. I hope you enjoy the story and would appreciate your feedback. I would ask that you read through at least a couple of chapters before leaving a rating. I know I have some trouble with grammer and how I structure some of my sentences and while feedback on that is appreciated what I would value most is feedback on the story as a whole in terms of how the plot works and if you are enjoying it or not.

Vast Asleep
The story of Kingard the Binder in the aftermath of Broken This short story is the epilogue of Broken, the second book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. It’s a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers but is set apart from the full-length narrative. Vast Asleep follows the story of Kingard, who finds himself caught in a world called Mother's realm, bathed in glowing light but strangely stuck in place. He encounters his greatson Varyan there, and learns that his experiences are likely dreams. As he grows more accustomed to the loving realm around him, Kingard remembers fear and trepidation about the face of the world, and he loses contact with his companion. This story answers the question, Is Kingard really dead? with a tentative no, and new mysteries brewing. It also raises the question, What's happening while he's awake? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Ride Awake, about Kingard's situation with the Colkh'rak. Praise for Tales of the Known World Bookends: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great! The difference between the epilogue and prologue is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing. The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact. And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well. -- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★

Carus - Libertas
participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge and also having a go at NaNoWriMo this November. This was a first draft published as it was written for Nanowrimo November 2020. A little rough around the edges, I hope to come back and edit at some point, and then continue the story on. In the grand scheme of things Elias was nothing special. Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.
