The Dread Captain Riggz, a name both feared and respected by many. No ship he captained ever sank, no fleet he commanded ever faltered. He took what he wanted and gave nothing back. Kindness was only ever shown towards his own. From pirate ships to modern navies, there was no battle at sea that Roland, a.k.a. Riggz, would lose. If there was a multiplayer game with decent naval combat, then the name Riggz would appear in its forums. Until, one day, in the middle of battle, Riggz’s cannons went silent, and for the first time since anyone could remember, Riggz sank. “What the hell? Where am I? Is this a boat?” WELCOME TO AESIRVALE “Le what” Updates Fridays on Royal Road and SH. This is only my second fiction, and my other one has like, eight chapters written so far, so this might suck. Please give suggestions on how I might improve my writing, and leave a comment with #Ope if you see any mistakes. I've marked all the content warnings to give me space to write what I want as I figure things out as I go.  MC is bi, although with a preference towards women. I don't intend for it to be a big part of the story, but if that bothers you, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Cover image is the USS Arizona, Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives, adjusted to fit RR's cover image requirements.
