《True Ruler》My life before everything changed!
Advertisement
Welcome to Demon School Izuku-kun!
I was peacefully sleeping in my own sleeping area on a boat. It was a long time since I had a good night's rest. Every time I was falling asleep someone was screaming for me over the comm-link. Today was no exception.
???: TIME TO WORK! GET UP!
Not again...
This is getting annoyed!
What do I have to do to get some rest at least?!
It was not like I was up 4 hours earlier or that I haven't slept the night before at all... No... That was definitely not the case. If it was for me, I would still be in the bed and sleep a little longer but life is not a game and my life doesn't even belong to me at all.
Left with no other choice, I stood up and went to work. The boat I was currently on was a tuna boat and the crew was understaffed. I was basically here for everything. If you needed something I was the man to go to and ask to do it.
Did I had trouble doing stuff for others?
No, not really.
This is how I've been my whole life.
Now you might think why the heck am I even on a boat or working at my age, right?
It's simple.
Although I am thirteen, I grew up working for others!
You see, I am not normal by any means. How could I even if I was the last living dragonkin on earth. How do I know that? There is this bond between us dragonkins. We could feel each other and I felt lonely all the time. Although I was a dragonkin things were not that easy for me.
I wish, I could go back to where my descendents went...
It would be nice to see where they came and maybe meet some.

In the past humans were hunting us down because of our blood. It had healing capabilities that were straight from another world. One drop of blood could cure any illness there is. 13 drops could bring a dead person back to live. Legends says that bathing in dragon's blood could make a human immortal. I never knew if that was true or not.
Humans are just greedy.
If they were only not out for our blood...
If only they never hunted us...
Maybe I would have known my parents and seen them at least once.
Thanks to being a dragonkin, I was stronger and faster than any normal human in my age. Not only that but I could also change into a dragon from. I once did that while being in the mountain. It felt really good but I made the mistake and let some humans see me and since then there was the legend of a green dragon in the woods.
Anyways that still doesn't explain why I was on a goddamn tuna boat, right?
You see, my parents never cared much for me. Why should they? I wasn't their own child. They said they found me in the mountains while they were hiking and took me in.
Wupsy! It was never my intention to be seen but I was sure that the people living on the base of the mountain were now happy about the new tourists and their new incomes!
Of course I was grateful for that but this is a little bit too much!
My parents were lazy, lazy as hell! I was the only one in the family working day in and day out in order for my family, I mean my adoptive humans to go on vacations 365/a year.
Did I get any money from what I was working?

Nope!
Did I get food while I was working?
Not every time.
Did I always have a roof above me?
Definitely not!
So why was I here?
Because my freaking adoptive humans send me off to a boat and got the money for me. I was a S L A V E to put it bluntly.
???: HURRY IT FASTER!
I could hear day in day out!
No matter how hard I worked, they would scream at me for everything. If I wanted to take a break, I would get screamed at. If I was tired, I would be screamed at. If I messed something up because of my lack of sleep, I would get yelled at.
Why was I enduring this?
I don't know!
That was one hell of a question, I would love to know the answer too.
In the end of the day I could hear my boss say to his coworkers that I've done good.
???: That kid's good with his hands and quick on his feet.
But then came something I never imaged him to say.
???: He's just about ready to work at the warehouse.
???: YES SIR!!!
To be quite honest, I hated the warehouse. There are so many fishes. I mean I was on a tuna boat after all but these tunas were like giants!
I don't have a single clue what they were feeding them with but they were easily 2 meters long. Like these fishes are no joke.
Being in the warehouse also meant that I would need to look at them and secure them. Just being close to them meat bed things for me. I was a freaking dragon that was starving. What do you think would happen if you put me in a goddamn warehouse full of them? How did you expect me not to eat them or be tempered to do that?
This would be for sure one hell of a ride!

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

Eater of Spirits
Story is abandoned. There will be no more updates on it. Jarod is kind of a loser, as it goes with these stories. A tear in his reality pulls him into another world, where he gains the ability to devour spirits, the locus of magic within the world. This is far from my first foray into fiction, but it is my first time posting anything to royal road, and first time writing LitRPG. This is an exercise in putting things out there, and just writing. That means that all of this is going to be a first draft, where edits may come sparsely if there is a glaring issue or something I think should be better. Thanks for reading!

Faeos Book One: The Stuff of Legends
A ragtag assemblage of adventurers, scraped together by seeming circumstance, investigate the theft of an ecologically essential artifact. In so doing, they find themselves embroiled (as adventurers so often do) in the larger machinations of a mischevious gnome, a determined mage or three, and a dire threat to their homes. Based on a homebrew Pathfinder campaign begun several years ago, and still running. Faeos is one part combat, one part character building, and one part entirely justified silliness. Blame any lead character weirdnesses on my players, whom I love. Blame everything else on me. Oh, and yes, this should also be tagged "Unreliable Narrator."
