《Journeys of A Runic Warrior》
Chapter 1: Fork in The Road
This story will be told in an entirely third person perspective I do not have the confidence to tell a story from first person.
This is also to help me with my grammar skills since I know my grammar is the stuff of legends by god I know I will get insulted but please help me learn :)....that was also the main reason I put this idea off for a year or so.
Sorry if I misuse my commas sadly I\''m just really bad with my grammar....go easy on me very sensitive person.

In a very noisy and unpleasant tavern filled with joyous cries, lewd comments made by very unpleasant individuals, and various unlikable characters who could rightly be called bandits a brawl was happening.
In the middle of the crowd stood 2 men brawling one was a very big man covered in scars and muscles who had a pissed and drunk expression on his unsightly face. On the other side stood a man with emerald green hair and hazel eyes with white skin and messy hair with sharp eyes. (authors note: This is our MC obviously and he is going to be snarky and completely straightforward no info gathering just to the point brutal and vicious...main weapon is a great-sword and he will be based off my various RPG characters in games)
Locking horns for some stupid argument about who could drink more they started beating each other\''s faces in. The green haired man was swaying left and right and under avoiding the muscled mans clumsy strikes, occasionally throwing out a punch making the muscled man gasp for air each time. (authors note: Yes he is an OP MC and no I will not give out stats and I will say this the world is his playground and I will write scenario\''s where he shows off)
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Muscled man: \"Stop moving it\''s hard to hit ya\"
Green haired Youth: \"You\''d never hit me in a million years you clumsy oaf and tell you what if you can hit me even once I\''ll buy you a beer\"
Muscled man: \"Why you! I\''ll make you eat those words boys get in here don\''t give him anymore space to run\"
Green haired Youth: \"advantage of numbers eh...well I suppose it won\''t help you regardless\"
As the green haired youth said this the muscled man darted forward and with a right hook he.....missed. Everyone was bewildered suddenly he wasn\''t there, the muscled man felt a presence behind him and before he could say a word his vision went dark.
Green haired Youth: \''Dumb guy better get my sword and leave before his friends decide to stain my clothes with their blood\''
Green haired Youth: \"Barkeep charge this man for any reparations and my beverage!\" The youth laughed loudly as he walked out toward a fork in the road.
Green haired Youth: \'' Cmon Aeden pull yourself together...into the dark and forboding forest filled with dangerous beasts and adventure...or the kingdom to my left so I can join the local adventurers guild.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Thus ends the first chapters please help me fix any grammar I will also use spell check to make sure....also that last bit isn\''t a poll type thing no that is my excuse for giving his name out.
To be entirely honest just writing this is extremely stressful as I prepare for hate comments.
Answering Questions
It appears I''ve confused a few people with the first chapter. The heroes name is Aeden and as for the worlds name I have not decided yet.
As for the age of the MC around maybe 28-30 and as for the reason why he is OP well since I''m starting this story from a middle point and not from the beginning....I''ll think of an explanation later.
The last question if he has friends or BF or GF most likely not I mean maybe friends but I want no romance in this.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Now as for the contents of the fantasy I may make it like a sub fantasy type with minor fantasy aspects but still fantastical.
Oh forgot to add in I am prob gonna do a chapter...whenever I get the inspiration to I mean maybe tomorrow maybe next week I''ll try my best to dedicate to this endeavor.
Chapter 2: Onward to Adventure!
Sorry for the late I racked my brain constantly trying to figure out names not used by other fictions I hope. Needless to say I did not give an ounce of thought into the plot or anything before I dived headfirst into this :(.
I am going to take time and patience with this no daily updates too much stress. Um at most..maybe once a week prob every 2 weeks depends.
Sorry if any of this seems generic or trashy it stresses me out just thinking about how it''s seen....that and I really am not a very creative person.

Aeden: '' I could just go to the guild rise to the top and fight some dragons....I hope it puts up a fight '' Aeden said this in his mind with a jovial grin on his face as he walked along the dirt road to the Capital of the Liberia Kingdom.
The kingdom of Liberia is a poor place filled with bandits and dangerous monsters and the weakest kingdom on the continent of Shard, there is 4 kingdoms on Shard mainly human kingdoms though, hidden there are various kingdoms filled with dwarves and elves and many fantastical creatures but they keep to themselves.
Aeden''s personality can be described in a few words brash, bloodthirsty and always mad...like a dwarf except human. This has caused many debates whether dwarves can grow as tall as a human but they all ended with the fact he has no beard.
His sword was crafted from meteor ore he chanced upon, back then he was only a journeyman Runic Arts user so the blade is not as good as it could be but he etches in a new blood rune for every kill. Imagine a sword covered in countless empowering runes, now imagine a sword so powerful it could cleave a dragon in half. The sword itself is pitch black due to the ore itself and the smithing methods. (authors note: give me about a month I''ll think up a proper plot as a flashback as to why he has all this stuff)
He wears a white cote with a gold thread undershirt with black pants and sandals made from black wood from the black blood swamp lands to the far south. His attire has faint runic symbols on it to increase his agility and various attributes. It should be mentioned that Aeden is a master of Runic Arts aswell as other combat related abilities.
Aeden is walking down the road when in the corner of his eyes he sees a small glint of a dagger in the dark forest ''Bandits and here I thought this would be boring'' he thought to himself.
Aeden draws his 2 meter tall sword and dashes toward the glint swinging his blade blood spurts out of the bandit " Should be about thirty or so bandits " Aeden said with a hungry grin.
???: " Boss he killed cecil in 1 slash it was a blur "
Boss: " Just charge you louts while he''s still focused on the deadman "
Around 30 or so bandits charge at Aeden with blades raised '' unskilled trash '' Aeden thought as swung his blade and cleaved 5 bandits torsos and split them like firewood. Swing 5 dead swing against 10 dead swing swing swing like in a trance Aeden massacred the bandits.
At this point the bandits were fleeing and the boss was already dead laying in a pile of gore his last words cut off by Aeden stomping on his head while chasing down the cowardly bandits. Like a reaper he ended the lives of many in seconds.

After the massa-ahem "battle" Aedem decided to proudly wear his well earned blood into the next inn he visits to cleanup. A few days along the road and no interesting events aside from hunting the local bear population to eat, WHAT! you expect Aeden to eat weak bunnies and sad little raccoon''s dream on.
After a few more hours of traveling down the boring road large stone walls came into his vision they were cobbled together and looks like even without his swords he could punch them down. At the gates stood 2 guards wearing leather armor with a chain overshirt and a iron helm.
Guard 1: " Halt ya hav''ta pay the toll"
Guard 2: " What toll Jim"
Guard 1: " The toll issued by king Aries, 2 silver for any traveler to enter the Capital "
Aeden: '' Wretches and thieves all these guards ever want is tolls and taxes fine ''
Aeden tosses them a few silver coins and walks into town the guards don''t care they got their toll. When he entered what greeted him were paved streets and various stone housing '' Aw so this is why the Kingdom is so poor and sad ''
Aeden thought as he smirked at the kings bad spending habits.
Aeden: " Hello mam do you know where the guild is? "
Old lady: " What guild? oh right right that guild the one that kills monsters, it''s right over there the one with the sign that says Adventurers guild "
Aeden: " Oh I guess that makes sense " He said as he laughed
Aeden walked up to the building and went in instantly he realized everyone here is trash no wonder S class adventurers were so rare. He walked up to the clerk and asked.
Aeden: " Hello miss I would like to sign up for the guild I have a real itch to fight some dragons or something interesting " he said with a smiling expression.
Clerk: " First I''m a man and second fill out this paperwork and drop some blood on this badge "
Aeden: '' Oh and after all those female clerks I find the only male one I picked a sorry city to start out in '' he thought to himself with a grim expression and took the papers and signed dropped the blood and bam adventurer status.
Aeden: " Sigh noob class huh guess we all gotta start out with this can I take any difficulty mission or am I restricted "
Disapointment of a Clerk: " Yes but it''s your death if you want to we recently got an S class mission for a dragon extermination big beasty might be a fire dragon "
Aeden: " Oh that''s weird I wanted to hunt a dragon and now I can ONWARD TO HIGH ADVENTURE HUZZAH "
Clerk: '' Not right in the head oh well his funeral ''

Phew didn''t think I had it in me to write this much and keep going was worried I would mess it up I should prob click that comedy tag since it seems I''m taking it in that direction.
As always thank you for reading my vomit inducing grammar and my complete idiotic attempt to salvage my failure of jumping in headfirst without planning the story first.
I''m a bad writer I got stuck and stressed at chapter 2 lol.
Half tempted to remove this whole fiction because I''m embarrassed but I won''t that would just be silly and stupid I''d look like an idiot methinks.
