Chapter 1chapter 1: silence so loud

Out in a grassy field under a moon lid sky a pale young man with stark black hair stared at an incredibly vast and star filled universe. With many thoughts running through his head he finally came to a question that got him out of his daze. "Has there ever been someone on the moon".

The thin man that looked like someone who would be carried away in the wind if he didn't have a set of cheap leather armour on him thought about loads of things while he was alone, not that these thoughts were very deep, profound nor helpfull to his daily life. His thoughts were simply there to keep him company.

"Redrick Goldfield, shouldn't you take your guarding job more seriously. You don't want me to cut your salary again because of your laziness right?". Redrick stood up as fast as he could and took a respecting pose while bowing. "Sorry good sir Martel, it won't happen again" redrick said with an tremble In his voice "please don't cut my salary".

Mister Martel looked at the malnourished guard he would pay, a bit more than minimum wage. " I would appreciate you doing your job well, as long as you do that you will earn your deserved money. My visit to Cellin went well and I havent been in danger jet so far so dont ruin it for me and yourself while we are almost home".

Redrick felt the angry look of the old merchant that went back to sit on the tree stump he was sitting on before. Scared to anger his temporary boss even more he jolted " yes sir".

Back to his job of sitting on the stone that had a great view over the valley they were in.

This was the best place to see what was lurking around their little tent camp. The only thing he could see tho, was fields of grass with mountains that closed in on a glittering lake in the middle. The moonlight reflected beatifully on the almost flat surface, the wind was low and the only noice came from the campfire they had build.

As a kid Redrick heard stories of a Knight being given a sword with magical power by fair maidens that lived in lakes. Well he wasn't completely sure if it was a lake like that but his thoughts still remained. "Would this lake suffice as a home for a fair maiden, or an maiden in general? How did the maiden get such a good sword and why would she give it away to a man she just met? Is it because he Is a Knight, because he looks strong or is it because she is afraid of him. Or is the sword nothing to her and should the Knight actually be scared of the woman"

Redricks thoughts kept on going while Mister Martel went into his tent to sleep. The agreement that the two had made two weeks ago was quite simple, Redrick keeps the night watch and protect Martel for any danger that would come while Martel would pay, feed and let his guard sleep in the carriage during the day. Martel would wake his young companion if danger would show during travelling. 'The guy might be an useless airhead so far but it was the only one I could pay.' Martel thought. This was a lie, He had chosen Redrick for a different reason. The old man than fell asleel

The night was as long and silent as every other night. It would have been quite boring for every guard in town, Redrick was an exception in that regard. While being so emerged in thought he failed to notice that it was already the next day and the sun was shining on his face.

"Maybe I could be a Knight that gets a sword from a maiden in a lake".

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame at the tender age of ten. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too, so... He’s going to tame everything, every evolutionary line. How? Step one: survive long enough to unlock his gift. Step two: tame creatures nobody else dares to touch. Step three: become the strongest tamer the world has ever seen. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun, taming dragons and expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress. Oh, and don’t miss the cool horns. It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 #### History is said to be written by the victors. If so, how about Earth's history? Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds. Whether you seize this opportunity or not, is up to you. You are at Magus Academy, the pinnacle of humanity's ingenuity. Magic, science, and might are all within reach for those who dare to pursue them." [Scan complete - Quadruple affinity. Water, Earth, Plant, and Darkness.] "A quadruple acolyte! Only one in tens of thousands of acolytes possess this!" Thus began Emery’s journey together with his 4 friends from the furthest corner of Earth. Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Shocked voices could be heard from the people and there was some which were also filled with scorn. Grey stood dazed amidst all the noises without any reactions. One word was constantly reverberating in his head, 'How?'. 'Why, why did this happen to me?' Grey asked himself over and over again **************** Unbeknownst to Grey, something greater lies in wait in his body.... *************** Check out the book, leave a review after reading, and also your powerstones. Hope you enjoy this, and Thanks for reading ^_^ P.S: When I started this book I had zero writing experience, so the first chapters aren't that great, although, my writing quality has improved over time. Also, English isn't my first language, so there are some instances where my choice of words are not good enough for what I'm trying to portray. A heads up, the book will be using a medieval setting. My world building is not the best, but it gets better over time, so bear with me on the early chapters! P.S: Cover art not mine I just edited it.
