Sod's Law (Dropped)
This fiction has been dropped, you're more than welcome to read it anyway (there is sort of an ending). But you have been warned... Sod's law is a more extreme version of Murphy's law. While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome. For example, concepts such as "bad fortune will be tailored to the individual" and "good fortune will occur in spite of the individual's actions" are sometimes given as examples of Sod's law in action. This would broaden Sod's law to a general sense of being "mocked by fate". In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. - Definitions of Sod's Law on Wikipedia. The protagonist, as many before them, and many who followed, thought they were just entering a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing-Game). Unbeknownst to them however, was a short paragraph in the Terms & Conditions, that, upon agreement, would actually transport them to a fantasy world, loosely based on the game they thought they were entering. - Something anyone could be forgiven for, no-one reads them after all. In this new world, they discover that people are born with “Traits”, a System recognised, ability, skill, or talent, that they are born with. Sod's Law was not a trait they, or anyone else for that matter, would want. Pure madness follows. Yup, this is about a character transferred to a fantasy game-world with the worst luck imaginable. This is my first fiction so I apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that may be made. Hopefully it is readable, and if so please tell me! But if it's not, also tell me, but in a constructive way if at all possible? Due to the nature of the “Trait” the story will be dark in places, with plenty of gore and profanity, hence the tags. There may also be scenes of a sexual nature, but nothing full on – sorry guys but you'll have to go elsewhere for that.

The King (Kralyat)
Balhkara – a kingdom once known for its glory and beauty before corruption and exploitation left its people gobbled up by hatred and greed. Twenty years ago, that kingdom lost its last King and since then it had been slowly sinking in an endless pit of abyss. Even though no one knows how the King died and who was responsible for the royal family’s demise – story has it that the late King was betrayed by someone close. One version of the story has it that his second wife was a spy and killed him, then burned his children during the infamous “Palace Accident”. Another version has it that a maid was jealous of the Queen and poisoned the whole family. With time passing, the story twisted further and blurred in with people’s imagination to the point that no one truly remembers the initial version. Interesting enough, one day three hunters from Balhkara receive a mysterious invitation for a private mission to look for a missing person. Upon meeting the employer, they learn that the Prince of Balhkara is still alive. Will they manage to find the Prince? Will that Prince, however, return to his rightful place and restore the glory of Balhkara? A story full with adventures, moral dilemmas that creates an allegory of today’s world and its state.
