《The Life of a Wizard》An Achilles' Heel
Advertisement
Pyrrha Nikos has been called many things in her short time on Remnant.
A prodigy.
The Invincible Girl.
Champion of Mistral.
But right now, she is the partner of Jaune Arc.
A boy that, for all intents and purposes, would not make it as a Huntsmen. Yet when she locked eyes on him for the first time, she knew there was untapped potential inside him, potential that wanted to be unleashed. But most of all, he made her feel something that she hasn't felt in her entire life.
He made her feel like a girl.
It was something she hadn't felt in... forever and it made her happy. He made her feel normal.
'"Is this love?" Pyrrha asked herself. "Am I falling in love with him?"
Since then she has been trying to get Jaune to notice her feelings, but the blonde knight was either too dense to notice or... preoccupied with a certain someone.
Still it would be nice to get noticed for once.
"Here we go Jaune. Today is the big day." I told myself as I through the garden.
After the bombshell that the Headmaster dropped on me, I wasn't sure about how to react. To think Pyrrha Nikos, the Invincible Girl, the top student in Beacon, and the spokesperson for Punkin' Pete has a crush on me.
Me!? The fraud and dead last of Beacon!?
Its, and pardon my language, a bit of a mindfuck to process. Why would she be interested in me of all people!? It doesn't make any sense. But then again since coming to Beacon, nothing's been making sense.
Especially its headmaster, Professor Ozpin.
The guy is a wizard, like an actual wizard with magic and stuff. And to top it all off, he is immortal! Then there's that weird faunus everyone's been talking about, how he always seems to pop out of nowhere only to then disappear in the blink of an eye.

Like a watchdog.
"I hope he's right about this..." I walk up to a big open area and the first thing I see is Pyrrha looking out the window, watching the birds come and go.
Pyrrha looks up and her signature smile adores her face. "Welcome back Jaune." She walks towards me.
"Hey Pyr..." God, she is so pretty. How the hell did I never notice this before? "Where's Ren and Nora?"
Nora went out to hunt for sloths and Ren went to make sure she didn't get into trouble." Ah so business and usual. Aside from pancakes and breaking legs, hunting sloths is probably Nora's favorite pastime. That or killing Grimm.
I still don't understand how Ren manages to tolerate her, let alone keep her in check.
"So its just the two of us..." I said.
"Yes, yes it is..."
'Gods, this is awkward. Come on Jaune, tell her what you need to say!'
"Hey, Pyrrha?" I call out.
"Yes?" Pyrrha said.
I take a deep breath. "I was thinking if, you know, you'd like to-"
"YES!" Pyrrha suddenly exclaims. Then, she realizes what she did and blushes from the embarrassment. "I'm sorry!"
Its okay," I told her. "But like I was going to say is if you'd like to come to Vale with me today."
Pyrrha smiles. "That sounds lovely."
"Alright, its a date!" I just realized what I just said and blush flailing my arms around. "N-not like that! I-it's not a date-date, its a friend date where you go out with someone!" I did it again. "Dammit!"
Pyrrha just giggles.
After watching a movie, going to a restaurant, and going karaoke, Pyrrha and I are sitting on a bench in the park watching the sunset.

"Thank you Jaune. I had a wonderful time." Pyrrha said.
"Yeah, me too. Though I can't believe we got kicked out of karaoke because your singing." Yeah, turns out Pyrrha is very tone deaf. Her singing was so bad that the manager demanded that we leave the building because we were disturbing the other customers.
Pyrrha blushes from embarrassment. "I'm sorry!"
I smile. "Its fine, I thought your singing was beautiful."
Pyrrha blushes like crazy. 'He... he thinks my singing was beautiful!?'
"Hey, Jaune?"
"Hm?"
"Do you love me?"
I blush madly at the question. Pyrrha is a wonderful girl, the best girl I know. She has been by my side since the beginning and there's no one I would rather have as a partner.
There's only one answer.
"Yeah... I do." I said out loud. "I love you, Pyrrha."
In response, Pyrrha leans and kisses me. It seemed like time has stopped for us and I didn't want to let her go.
We stop kissing and look at each other. "I guess this means we're dating now."
Pyrrha smiles. "Yes."
I watch from my Scroll as Jaune completed his first conquest flawlessly.
I take a sip from my mug. "Congratulations Jaune, but this was just too easy." I smirk. "The next conquest will be more difficult, that I can promise."
At that moment Glynda comes in with a stack of papers in hand. "Sir, I need you to sign these-"
"Get out!" I throw my cane and other crap at her, promptly her to quickly close the elevator doors.
Author Notes
One down, five to go.
A bit different from the usual crap I write here but not unwelcomed.
Peace~

RakhtaBhushan (Blood Ornament)
[This book has been contracted elsewhere, which is why I am not updating any more. Please contact me if you want to continue reading the story.] God King Arya defeats Agni Asura Yaman. Two hundred years later, Asura Yaman reincarnates as golden prince, Suryadev, of RakhtaPrastha. Once he comes of age, a darkness begins to lurk in his dreams. Flashbacks from his past life erode his mind, his fate "unforeseen by the gods." As he seeks to heal, his path entwines with Vidyut, his long time rival. Hardened by the cruelties of life, Vidyut embraces the dark art of Tantra, for which he is both rejected and coveted by the people of the five kingdoms. Meanwhile, the kingdom of RakhtaPrastha is facing political turmoil and rival kingdoms, while the animosity between God King Arya and Yaman/Surya's supporter, Goddess Dimuka, is spilling into the human world. Princes, Spells, Gods, Spirits, Heaven, Mythical creatures, Wars, and Reincarnation, and so much more. It is based on Indian mythology, specifically Hindu mythology. But it is an original fantasy and focus is character arcs. It has BL/Gay content. Most Surya-Vidyut interactions are in the chapters marked Surya or Vidyut. The romance in this story is slowburn. **Daily Chapter Release** Cover Art Disclaimer: The cover art is using an image from Pinterest. The art has been kindly created by Ben Arisson.

Project from December 2019
Starting chapters are heavily invested in psychology and philosophy. A story about John Keene exploring a different world. This project is similar to 'Ex Legacy' and 'Aidan Alastair'; they follow similar plots. Ex Legacy has more of a completed feel so far - it's debatable, but you are free to read both of them: Aidan Alastair: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/31409/aidan-alastair-volume-1 Ex Legacy: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/48422/ex-legacy

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).

Magikind [Original]
The third millennia, a time of change and evolution. An era, where people, through countless generations, have evolved strange powers and abilities. Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some refused to change or adapt. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin, will herald a new era for all Magikind. A story of how man could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. Disclaimer: Chapters will be edited once the first volume is done. Bear the beginning for the time being, and hopefully you can see my writing improving over time (I've learnt a lot on how to write because of this (though I'm still not perfect :P)) Proud Member of Writers to the End, WriTE The link to the pledged fictions PS. If you find the 'notes' too boring or too info-dumpy, feel free to skip them and just read the main chapters. They're there for the reader to understand Gin's world (written in the perspective of Gin). But later on, we can see some interactions between the main characters and the occasional references to his past in the notes, so it has its purpose.
