Book 1: Prologue
“Thank you for the food mister. It was delicious!”(Star)
“No problem little one. Though now that I got you food, can you tell me why you are visiting this town and why you were stuck in that tree?(???)
“That's not a problem, but first I have to ask what's your name? Mine's Mcbeth, Star Mcbeth.”(Star)
“Ha Ha Ha! Sorry kid I must be getting old if I forgot to introduce myself! Name's Diuscrucis! Now lets try this again. What is a 6 and a half foot tall, red haired, pink eyed elf doing in an adventurer town? I mean you don't look like an adventurer and with your looks and rack size I would at least expect you to have weapons or at least bodyguards. Like what size are those things they're huge?! I cup?! J?!”(Diuscrucis.)
“I will not tell you such personal information! However I can tell you why I'm in this city. You see it all started when my boss called me into her office at the “History and Fantasy Inc.” Headquarters. Which is where I work by the way…..”(Star)

* Three Weeks Earlier -
“Star Mcbeth please come to my office. I repeat. Star Mcbeath please come to my office.”(Boss)
After hearing the announcement I got up from my cubicle and went down to my boss’s office and when I got there I saw her standing next to her office window overlooking most of the city with an amazing view that you couldn't get anywhere else in the city. My boss’s name is Suzi. Just Suzi. To be honest no one in the company really knows what her full name is. She is a 7 ft. tall, red serpent slit eyed woman with black and white hair that seems to spiral outward from the top of her skull to the tip of her hair that goes down to her waist. She has pale skin and scaly black dragon wings coming from the center of her back. She is currently in her regular silver tuxedo with the top three buttons unbuttoned which I must say makes her look quite hot considering she is a f cup.
“Are you done admiring my hotness or would you not like to know why I called you here?”(Suzi)
She turned around from the window and looked at me with a stern face.
“Sorry boss I’m listening.”(Star)
“Good now do you know what “History and Fantasy Inc.” does?(Suzi)
“ We write believable and agreeable stories as history books for the world. We also write what really happened under the category fantasy so that no matter how outrageous or weird something was people would not know the truth and be able to pass them off as “just a story.”(Star)
“Good now can you tell me why we do this?”(Suzi)
“Because sometimes the truth is so unbelievable that most people would prefer to just think of it as fiction.”(Star)
Now she is looking at me with a smile.
“Good. I’m glad you got it all right. Now listen. After many years of countless attempts, the man that I love is finally willing to marry me so I need someone to take my place as CEO. I have decided to give this possition to you. Under one condition.”(Suzi)
Saying that she stopped smiling and went over to her solid ruby desk and sat down in her leather chair. She then breathed deeply and looked at me with a serious face.
“What's the condition?”(Star)
“I want you to go to the city known as Hellfire and record the history of this world. This will be your last assignment and if you succeed you will be the new CEO. if you fail, well not even death can protect you from what would be coming after you. Now do you accept? Be warned this is your only chance to back out.”(Suzi)
I walked from the door to the leather chair in the middle of the snow white room and sat down across from her. After a minute of deep thought I looked at her seriously and gave her my answer.
“Who do I have to talk to in order to learn this history?”(Star)
Smiling Suzi took out a yellow card with a velvet cross on the center and gave it to me.
“Good to hear. Now take this card and go to the city. As long as you have this card on you the buildings, the people, the animals, and even the city itself will want to reveal the truth about this world to you. One more thing, don't worry about misplacing the card as the new CEO in training it will always appear in your hand when you call for it. Good luck and don't let me down.”(Suzi)
With a resolute nod I take the card, put it in my pocket and walk towards the door while saying.
"I wont boss."(Star)
After that I spent the next three weeks traveling to the city Hellfire. Spending so much time being careful not to get into trouble, I stepped on a hunter’s trap that swung me over a tree and left me hanging upside down for over an hour.
After trying to unhook my leg from the plasma rope multiple times I heard a noise from the bushes to my right.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
“This sucks. I only caught an elf and a blood elf variant at that. Hold on kid I will cut you down.”(Diuscrucis)
“Thanks! That's much appreciated and do you have any food to share? I'm heading to the city but I haven't had any solid food in like a week.”(Star)
“No problem kid I was heading to the city myself anyway. Come on I know a place.”(Diuscrucis)
The man who helped me is a 5 and a half ft. tall tan skinned man who is in old cowboy getup with spinning stars at the back of his boots and a white feather in his hat and all. He has velvet eyes and from what I can see of his hair, dark blond on the right side and white on the left. He also has a cat tale that looks so black no light is reflecting off of it like with most things.
After brushing off the dust from my business suit I started walking after the man. We walked for several hours without saying anything until we reached the city’s outer wall that looks like a big green dome. As we approached the entrance to the city the man who helped me said that I will need to show the guards my status window before I could enter.
“Right then kid, I will see you inside the city. Evening Gentlemen. How are you?”(Diuscrucis)
“We are no different than usual sir.”(Guards)
Sir? He must be a high ranking officer despite how he looks. Oh! Now I remember the normal ranking system for most non-magic focused militaries! From lowest to highest it goes Soldier -> Hunter -> Adventurer -> Guard -> Captain -> General -> Commandant -> Overseer. I wonder which one he is? I mean he needs to be at least a Captain rank if not higher to have the guards respect him.
“Show me the first part of your status miss.”(Guard)
As I pull up my status from my inner mind to show the guard I can't help but admire the fact that they are human and look no older than 30 some years old. Usually humans can only make Guard rank after 70 to 80 years of training. I mean humans can only live for about 200 years on average but still, it's impressive.
“Of course here you go sir.”(Star)

“Thank you ma'am. You may enter.”(guard)
Saying my thanks I recalled my status and entered the city. After finding The cowboy dressed man sitting next to a stray cat on the floor, he got up and started leading me through the city and toward food. Now this city seems huge with different sized buildings ranging from 2 stories to at least 50 stories high in all different colors. The man then led me into an old looking 3 story tall tavern called “Dragon’s Rest”. It seems to be made of old stones and metal scraps and very crowded by the looks of it. We sat down at a table at the corner of the tavern and called over a waitress to place our orders. I quickly learned from all the talking around me that this waitress was the owner of the tavern. Which was interesting considering that most owners would prefer to be managers or cooks rather than be waiters. We ate our food and now we’re here.
________________________________________________________________________________
* Present day -
“So let me get this straight you came to this city to learn the history of this world and you got stuck in the tree because you stepped on my trap?”(Diuscrucis)
“Yes.”(Star)
“Then why didn't you just say that and saved us like 30 minutes!”(Diuscrucis)
“Sorry I got excited.”(Star)
“ I can see that. Anyways listen you should be more careful about what you say about your company because I'm pretty sure you just blurted out a big secret there.”(Diuscrucis)
“I did? Oh my god I did! Please forget what I just said about it!”(Star)
“I knew the secret long before you said it and besides, with that information I can tell you that the best place to start learning the history of the world will be in that old castle to the north of here.”(Diuscrucis)
“Thank you Mr. Diuscrucis I will start my search there goodbye.”(Star)
“No problem kid and good luck.”(Diuscrucis)
With that I started to walk out the tavern door but then I realized something. Why did he always call me kid? I mean I'm still a kid by elf standards but I look like a respectable 25 year old. He looked like a man who just turned 50 so wouldn't that mean he should have referred to me as miss like the guard at least? Thinking that, I turned around to look at the table we were sitting at but what I saw was an empty tavern that was covered in webs and looked run down. Not a single person, drink, or light in sight. In the center of the room was a wooden chair with a sign on it that said “Come Again Kid We Will Treat You To A Story Next Time” With that it dawned on me that I stopped hearing people's voices the moment I stepped out of the tavern. Thoroughly creeped out I looked at the sign only to read “Closed to the Living. Will open up again at dawn” With that I felt a chill go down my spine and remembered what my boss said. “The buildings, the people, the animals, and even the city itself will want to reveal the truth about this world to you.” With that I decided to listen to that strange man and head north to the old destroyed castle in the center of the city. Looking up I saw that the sun was no longer out and it was officially nightfall. Not wanting to waste time I spent the next hour walking to the castle. The only thing left of this black imposing castle seems to be parts of the walls and the main building. Everything else appears to be in ruins. Walking into the castle's main room, I saw a pot of hot tea and a shadowy figure drinking a cup of it. Suddenly sensing danger coming from this individual I used one of my few spells called “History’s Right” to see who or what this thing is.
