Well this is the second chapter.And before you ask,nope still no action.
And yes happy April's fools day??
I guess I will be releasing another chapter by tonight or tommorow morning...(IST-2033)
BTW I deleted the first thread Introduction.I had planned on connection both ends the modern and the old,but felt that it wasn't required.Also I believe the first chapter was quite useless to the story anyway.
Our MC has finally reached Altine,where his adventures can finally begin. And ease read the first line of the CH carefully.it will prevent confusions in this and the next few oncoming chapters.
And don't forget to rate ...?
Cheerio!
**************************************************
It's been exactly three glorious years since I was born and exactly Two years seven months 13 days since I was sold to slavery.
I was born as an unwanted son in an equally unwanted poor family.Born as the sixth child of my parents, I was considered as a burden to their family.My mother was named Rachael and was ordinary in every aspect.Dressed in ash covered gown and apron she was responsible for handling our family.Although she never hated me, she also never loved me.My father was the village drunkard.Drunk seven out of seven days, he was barely ever home.With black unkempt and soiled hair,wrinkled face and dirty rags , stained with wine and vomit,he played the role of village drunkard very well.But he had a very nasty temper.whenever he was home, I tried to make myself absent from his view.Whenever he would see me, he would fly into rage and start beating and cursing me as a demon.You see I had silver hairs and violet eyes which were extremely uncommon even in First tier cities, forget about our backwater village.Plus adding that I rarely ever cried, he had labled me as a demon spawn and such.The name stuck and all the villagers would curse me as a demon spawn whenever they would see me.
I had three older brothers and two older sisters.All three of my brothers were employed as farmhands at the village chief's farm.I rarely ever saw them, as they hardly ever came home.My sisters did odd jobs like laundry and cleaninb throughout the village.Both were not exactly eye catching beauties ,but were pleasent to eyes.I had heard they already had several suitors.If not for their age I m sure they would have been already married.
We lived at village outskirts, in a wooden structure which barely qualified as hut.Whenever fortune favoured, I would crawl out of the house , into the forest.I already had made several animals my friends.Squirrels would greet me with their chattering and nuts when ever I would go to meet them.I also had made a panther cub my playmate.He would tag along with me, as I went on my imaginary adventures, rescuing princess and slaying dragons.My time in the forest were absolute bliss.
One day a local woodcutter saw me playing with the cub, and shouting demon spawn notified the entire village, that I had bewitched a cub and could do the same to their children.That was the last straw and I was sold as a slave to a passing slave carvan for few coppers.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Seriously?Few coppers? At least they should have paid silver for me! That day my ego was hurt a big time.Also that was the last time I would ever see my family again. As i later learnt that the whole village was masaccred by bandits few days later.I didn't had any good feelings for both my family as well as the village,so the news didn't affect me much.But for appearence sake I shed a few precious tears.
I was given to an elven women to be taken care of while on route Because we both had silver hairs, we felt an immediate kinship.She was a forest elf and also the first elf I ever met.She was a war prisoner,but how and why she was captured,she never told me.She called herself as Elisha.Although not her real name, it suited her.With long silver hairs and also the signature pair of pointed ears, she was absolutely stunning.She had sharp features which went well along with her pale skin.She was responsible for teaching me.Through her I learnt how to speak properly and not in the local village dialect.She also taught me elvish, which turned out to be quite similar to the human language. When I asked her about it she grinned and said "You will learn all about it later,kiddo"She also gave me my first name, Aeries Sylverstar, which is basically Lucky silver star in Archaic Elvish.
Throughout the trip I learnt all about the continent we were living in.The continent was called Galadas and was the largest known continent.The rest two being Vulcane and Terrestia.Terrestia being the smallest one.Our continent was once ruled by the mighty Sun Empire.The months are named on the twelve greatest Emperor of the Sun empire.Few 100 years ago,due to internal conflict between the Princes for the throne ,the empire broke into civil war.This led to fragmentation of the once great empire and also the end of its golden age.Now the continent has Five human kingdoms, One Elven kingdom and one Dwarven kingdom.The beast people live in The Desolate Mountains alongside Demonic Beasts.
The human kingdoms are always in the state of eternal conflict.Each one trying to conquer other.The current status quo is Ferros and Sol-Er kingdoms on one side and Eltena, Seraph and Angard on the other.Currently the war is in an impasse, as no side could gain a clear advantage over other.
Our village was in the borders of Ferros Kingdom and the Desolate Forest which was at the base of Desolate Mountains range.When I learnt about this fact, I felt quite sorry that I wasn't able to meet a beast man.I really wanted to see a cat-girl.The caravan was on its way to Eltena's miltary city Altine.The trip took us a whole month and we finally reached Altine on Novnus 21,the day my new life began.
