'Nothing ever lasts forever'
Help me make the most of freedom, and of pleasure. Nothing ever lasts for ever. Everybody wants to rule the world.'
my breathe for a few seconds as I prepared myself to turn around and face whoever was behind me. My vision slowly became more blurry as salty tears glazed over my [eye coloured] eyes, letting out a deep breath of the cold, autumn air. I slowly craned my head around, immediately creating eye contact with furious, brown eyes.
My heart skipped a beat as I took several steps back in shock. Jeongin's dark eyes burning into my head as I readied myself to run, but before I could, he harshly charged at me. Knocking me off guard.
Letting out a verbal grunt as my head painfully hit the leave-covered floor, Jeongin's body collapsed on top of mine as he slammed his hands besides my skull, forcing me to let out a small yelp. "You fucking bitch." He calmly said, there was an obvious undertone of cruelty to it.
I didn't reply as rain started to heavily poor, soaking the both of us as I sobbed harder. "I don't know what your fucking crying for, it's me you've hurt?!" He screamed at me, "I didn't do anything..." I pleaded as my uncontrollable sobs grew louder.
He grunted in anger as he pushed himself off the ground, tugging me with him. The only thing that could be heard was the pounding rain hailing down on us, my arm started to become sore from his tight grip as he roughly dragged me back through the forest, back towards that hellish building.
"When I'm done with you, you'll regret ever even thinking about trying to escape."

the heavy wooden door of the office, Chan looked up as he lit his cigarette using his signature silver lighter, the thick smoke filling the room. Slightly smirking as [name] was harshly pushed into the room by Jeongin. "Lovely to see you again [name]." He sarcastically remarked as he leaning forward onto the desk, his suit creasing as he did so.

[name] said nothing as she stared down at the floor, salty tears running down her face. His smirk faltered as he let out a 'tsk' sound, clearly irritated at her not saying anything. "Still fashioning a lack of manners I see."
Jeongin rolled his eyes as he stepped further into the room, his agitated state being noticed by Chan. "Something bothering you, Jeongin?" He lazily asked. I.N looked up, but didn't say anything. "Has everyone lost there voice today or some shit." Chan quietly muttered under his breath as he leaned back in his chair.
Suddenly, Changbin barged into the room. Causing BangChan to stand up from his chair in confusion. "Alright, enough of this useless shit." Changbin abruptly said, Jeongin turned his head to say something as he took a step towards him.
"Listen Changbin I-"
"No you fucking listen to me Jeongin." He sneered.
"That little bitch needs to be taught a fucking lesson, she has gotten away with everything and I mean everything. And you still wonder why she keeps resisting is because of how lenient you are with her. I've fucking had it." He finished his rambling and roughly turned on his heel and grabbed [name] dragging her out of the room.
Jeongin returned back to his furious state as he stormed out of the room after Changbin, slamming the door behind him.
——————————
my mind as I was dragged through the endless labyrinth of corridors. Fear clouded my mind and I started to realised we were going in the direction of that dreaded basement. My breathing began to become heavier and quicker as I tried to pull my sore wrist out of his tight grip, but all efforts were useless as we continued to go down the route of the basement. I.N shouting profanities form behind us, before they got fainter and fainter, until he was completely silent.

He let out an angered grunt as he suddenly stopped and spun around to face me, his fiery eyes meeting mine.
"If you keep up this little struggling act, I will make you wish you had never been born."

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
