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.

First Task of Many

Tycondrius adjusted himself as comfortably as he could on his improvised seat. 

The hatchlings had gathered. 

He wished they had not... but since they arrived, he could not leave them be. 

...Tycon cared for the hatchlings. 

He wanted good things to happen to them. 

They were kind and hard-working; their efforts deserved to be rewarded. 

They were loyal, impressionable traveling companions. 

...and that loyalty of theirs was thrice strong as battle-ready subordinates.

If he commanded them to hold the line and die... they would do so without falter. 

--of that, he had no doubt. 

Yet... he would not forgive himself if he were to waste their lives for... negligible returns. 

...It was an extreme act of selfishness, him sending them away. 

Tycon had one impossible mission. 

Each task of which was layered, demanding in resources, and carried with it a high probability of failure. 

--save for one.
