Headed by a Snake

I woke up in this world with a System and a sword. Without hesitation, I chose to complete the princess’ quest with my weapons: Arrogance. Cunning. Pride. I will lead guild Sol Invictus. Denizens of the 7 hells, respect me. Servants of the 11 heavens, know fear. Guild Invictus, know the suffering of training so you can wrest victory from the jaws of those who dare doubt you. This is a story about a snake named Tycondrius waking up in a fantasy world of swords and sorcery. There is action, violence, unapologetic murder, and arrogant displays of power. There is an emphasis on combat growth as well as psychological growth on more than a few members of Guild Invictus. There is camaraderie and also the inevitable comedic dialogue amongst manly men. There are even elements of romance and Tycon running away from terrifying, powerful women. (Did you know most female snakes eat their partners after mating?) Give this book a read. I hope some of these stories can inspire you to fight your battles with analytical intelligence, heroic courage, and ruthless lethality. Work is completed as of 9May2024. There's also a few side-stories written in Chapter 1151! The Author is working on a new story called 'I Wish You Were Never Reborn.' After four or so years of writing, my skills have much improved. Highly recommend. Here is my discord: https://discord.gg/NNbAj7N Constructive criticism and corrections welcome. Other Authors extra-welcome.

Crossbow Injury

Selvia opened her mouth to speak. 

Eventually... and seemingly with great difficulty, she managed to force out two words. 

"Was... attacked," she said. 

Her voice was so small, Coraline Heartsong almost questioned her identity. That charming East-Stateswoman drawl was unmistakably her, though. 

Illusion-type magic tended to be one-dimensional, usually focusing on vision-- so Coraline ruled that out (mostly.) 

But she still needed more information... 

Gilchrist said Selvia was hurt? 

...At first glance, she didn't have any obvious injuries. A scar remained on her exposed shoulder from where she was hit by a magic bolt, even after being magically treated. 

The scar...?

Coraline furrowed her brows. 

The scar was exposed... 

Earlier that sun, Selvia said the injury was still sore. She bandaged it up, so the pressure would keep the swelling and subsequent pain in check.
