Twinkling eyes and rosy cheeks,
Her innocent smile brightens up his weeks.
A caring daughter and a great friend,
Her wedding he had to attend.
Arranged to become someone else's wife,
She ended up being bound to him for eternal life.
He thought her to be a lamb in distress,
Instead she turned out to be a fiery lioness.
For him, she was the synonym of love
But all she was a mourning dove.
All she wanted was to settle the score,
But his love for her was what she couldn't ignore.
All of it happened under our noses,
For it was the saga of Flames and Roses!

So this is going to be completely weird and I don't think anyone's going to enjoy this but God damn it is it my guilty pleasure!

Visual Kei is a rock or metal related movement that began in Japan and it's so far my favorite music genre if you don't know what it is I feel sad for you cuz it's amazing and it's so diverse too you can always find that one little thing that you love and you can't find anywhere else I love the genre so much and the art that goes with it and the history that's behind so many of the bands and their characters!

I love it so much that I don't think a fanfiction would do it any justice!

And then I wondered and started dreaming about if the timing was right and I was born in the right place could I too have my own visual Kei band ...and well the answer is no because I would probably suck but then I had a weird dream.

About a completely made up band in my head a few nights ago and I decided that I would use that dream as inspiration to create a story that is a tribute to not only a lot of my favorite fandoms here on Wattpad but also the visual Kei art style and a lot of my favorite bands and artists by creating my own characters based off of them.

With keeping in mind a lot of the real issues that helped to create Rock and helped spread it in Japan and the rest of the real world in particularly through the eyes of my oc's.

Both a visual Kei rockstar who goes by the synonym 'pINK!' and a random american girl from Minnesota who has no idea what's going on and their accidental and completely unexpected love story! 

With the help of my Japanese friend and fellow Visual Kei enthusiast Taru!

(And also using this story as an excuse to plug my favorite songs!)

Note: this story is a random pile of a fever dream and not meant to be good!

Yeet!

Darkness, everything was in complete darkness. 
Like million years ago, when the moonlight and fireflies were the only guide at night. 
It's quite weird, for a place where used to be called 'The city that never sleeps' be this quiet and blind, not a single light was on in this huge metropolis. 
Today is not march 27th, and this is not the Earth Hour, people don't do this to save the earth from climate change. People are doing this to save their own lives.
This is funny, before all this started, people fought with countless excuses to care a sh*t about the planet, saying that their lives would be miserable without WI-FI. And now, not only do they have no internet, they neither have electricity, water, or gas, and no one is complaining. Well, they no longer have the strength to complain… or maybe those people that used to complain are dead now, who knows. 
The gusts of wind cross the street as the breath of a sleeping beauty, the same wind traverse through abandoned cars and broken windows, and the sounds that this wind carry are no more nor less than grunts of beast and meat being chewed.
…
New Hallae is a big city, before the apocalypse, its population was over 20 million, and It was an international metropolis with great influence on the global economy, business, finance, media, politics, education and entertainment. But now, it's just another city full of zombies, and probably one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
This place isn't the home city of Charlotte, but she moved here to study in one of the most prestigious medicine universities of the country. And after she graduated, thanks to one of the friends of her dad, she found work in a really well-known pharmaceutical company, staying to live in this city that she neither loves nor hates.
Even having a great job, she preferred to rent a department on the edge of town, in one hand, it was to save money, in the other hand, she just can't get used to all those cars and horns that sounds day and night non stop.
That saved her life, because in the third and fourth 'hungry attack', the order of the inner-city districts collapsed. From those streams that she could see thanks to some links that were sent to a teammate chat group, the center of the city became a butchery —the blood, the corpses, the torn off limbs and the savagery of mutants made her, a graduated medicine student, barf.
But that's the past, a photograph for us to laugh at, like Charlotte now laugh at her innocent old self, no matter if it was just 3 months ago. Because people change, and everything does, like this little department at the 11th floor, now it has no trace of what it was before. 
That wall that used to have pictures and diplomas, now is replete of weapons and scratched maps. 
That fridge that used to have ingredients and leftovers food, now was unplugged and it's used as shelving for medicine, provision and important items. 
That door mat that used to say 'Oh no! Not you again' in a satirical way is no longer joking around, the bear trap hidden below says it all.
And even the bed where Charlotte is sleeping now, it's no longer the double bed with all amenities that she used to love so much, it was changed to a bunk bed with modification so it looks more like a cage than like a bed. Everything for 'safety'.
Since human is no longer the owner of the night, with no light or entertainment, the night is just synonym of loneliness and boredom. No matter how strong willed you are, you'll end up accepting that the most productive thing you can do is sleep. Sleep to save energy for tomorrow, sleep to ignore the feeling of starving, sleep to forget about the pain, sleep to keep hope, because in the dreams, we still have everything.
Charlotte is sleeping, sleeping like a little child, fighting unknown entities kicking and punching the air, even the apocalypse couldn't change her bad habits at bed. 
Her mother once told her, that all her cousins stopped coming to sleep over because every morning, those girls wake up with bruises on the face, the most serious even bled her nose.
But today was special, the position how she was lying on the bed got more and more strange, the way she posed her hands and arms was everything except comfortable, same with her feet and leg… Even in such weird position, Charlotte stopped moving, and slowly fell asleep deeply.

…
..
.
Standing in the middle of something with the appearance of an altar, a caricatural girl opened her eyes for the first time in this world, her appearance fits perfectly the word 'chibi', and before she could say a single word, she was pushed out by more people of her kind, others big head and small body fellows that appeared in the altar one after another.
Over the heads of these 'people', the girl could see white pixeled letters and numbers, some said proper names like 'Anthony_S.' or 'Benito_Camelo', but there are also others more like nicknames, like: 'knight_69', 'Levi_is_my_husband<3', 'Zombie_hater', 'Seya564', etc. 
Among the crowd of people, between pushes and stumbles, the girl looked up her head, it said 'CHARLOTTE#5467'. 
Once she recovered equilibrium, she could finally contemplate this new place. It was a world in black and white, but black and white in every sense of the word, no gray, no colors, just black and white. The building, the people, the sky… everything had that unique touch. And despite Charlotte have never seen something like this before, it gives her the sensation that this is exactly the way how everything must look like.
"What is all this?" Charlotte muttered.

【November 28th, 20**/Day 94 of the apocalypse】
.
Yersterday I had a dream, honestly, I should be talking about the mutant dog that somehow climbed to my department, THE 11TH FLOOR! Instead of a ridiculous dream, but my instict told me that that MMORPG-like world I dreamed with may be my only chance to recover my old life, before all these crazy zombie/mutant/Yolgho stuff... I still can't undestand how Jonathan came up with that weird name, why you don't just call them zombies or mutant? Weird dude.
.

Renly is still immersed in his own world, and on the surface, his performance seems to be so light and effortless, but in fact it's not that simple.
 
"Like Crazy" is a very special script, it will focus all the attention on the theme of "love" above, for Jacob and Anna two characters itself is not much, you can look at it this way, it weakens the character's own personality, highlighting the theme of love, increasing the audience's empathy - everyone can find their own shadow in this love.
 
Therefore, Jacob is a character without strong personal characteristics. Renly thought that it would be good to use expressive acting for interpretation, and that this work was more like a graduation exam for previous academy studies to see what level of ability he had reached; however, after entering the cast, Renly had a different view.
 
Jacob is indeed a boy without sharp edges, but the core of his mind itself can see the shadow of Drake Doremus. Simply put, Drake always believed that he and his ex-wife's marriage did not last, and he had to take more responsibility - although he also kept saying that there is no right or wrong in love, which is also the theme of "Like Crazy". But from the details of the script can still be seen, Drake deep down in the self-recrimination and guilt.
 
This also means that Jacob is not a broad synonym for "man", he is Jacob, he is a little sullen, a little inferior, a little idealistic big boy, he is a man who puts love above all other things in life, he is a man who wants to give Anna happiness but is not moving forward.
 
He is a geek who likes to fiddle with handicrafts, and every time he devotes himself to the making of furniture, he is single-minded and attentive because it makes him feel happy; he is a bored man who likes music, poetry and handicrafts, and is mostly bored to amuse himself; he is a warm man who may have just started to be curious because of Anna's unsolicited confession, but then he really falls in love with this girl who is somewhat playful, somewhat confident and somewhat straightforward, and he cannot even keep his eyes off her.
 
He is a human being, a living human being, not a combination of the broad meaning of the word "love".
 
Renly is trying to integrate his own understanding, his own reading and his own interpretation into the performance, those little details of habitual action that he doesn't want to deliberately craft, but just wants to present subconsciously, and then present the emotions accurately and precisely in an expressive acting way.
 
To be honest, "Like Crazy" is not as difficult to perform as "Buried", but it gives Renly more space to think, more space to think. In his own control, he felt the difference in the performance.
 
In that moment just now, he really became Jacob in a trance. Performing is really a funny thing, isn't it?
 
"Renly, are you ready?" Drake looked at the somewhat frozen Renly, raised his voice and shouted, Renly gestured an "ok" gesture, then raised his head and adjusted his breathing, once again into the Jacob's performance, looking at Felicity in front of him, gradually, she became Anna's appearance.
 
Felicity glanced at Renly quickly and whispered, "I'm sorry." Then she saw the corners of Renly's mouth with a warm smile, gently shook his head, the subtle movements can barely see the arc of the shake, but the corners of the mouth smile is like a spring breeze blowing gently, a childish air came to the surface, Felicity's smile could not help but to rise up.
 
She liked this kind of Jacob.
 
"I thought I understood and could comprehend, but I didn't. Do not understand at all. See only the surface, its inner repressed, precious longing ..." Anna read aloud in a low voice, some apprehension and nervousness, and some inexplicable expectation, carefully showing her most intimate inner depths to a stranger, but she could feel the warm and soft gaze, as if wide She could feel the warm and soft gaze, like wide, lush feathers, embracing herself in it.
 
She couldn't help but look up, and then she crashed into those focused eyes, and she could see Jacob's soft cherry-colored lips pull gently, outlining a boyish and doting arc, which made her heart skip a beat, and the urge to kiss it made her drop her eyes in panic, but the smile at the corner of her mouth gave away her innermost emotions.
 
"... I have never realized sometimes that the whole is more important than the parts, 'whole' is more like a luxury concept, because it is precisely the 'middle' that divides the whole into half '. One knows nothing of what is in between the two halves, your tattered fragments and my tattered fragments."
 
Jacob carefully caught the slightest change in Anna's eyes, a hint of leap in the shyness, a hint of confidence in the restraint, a hint of strength in the softness, and a hint of expectation in the nervousness, those beautiful eyes seemed to be full of stars, and the dotted light softened her whole face.
 
Jacob gradually began to become bold, no longer hidden, not looking at Anna, and even some greed to gaze at the glow in those eyes, so little by little, falling, as if from a high altitude into a deep pool, the bone-chilling cold and frictional heat makes the body hot and cold, but the thrill of free fall and excitement but all become unimportant.
 
Anna quickly raised her head and glanced at Jacob, but found that Jacob's eyes never moved, even forgot to blink, she dropped her eyes in panic, and then heard Jacob's voice with a faint smile, "I like the saying 'It is precisely the middle that divides the whole into halves '."
 
The same words came out of Jacob's deep voice, and the word "middle" became sensual, even with a little innuendo. Before her brain reacted, Anna let out a low laugh, feeling a little funny herself, "A little childish."
 
Jacob's smile paused slightly for a moment, then shook his head dotingly, "No." The magnetic voice slid gently over Anna's heart, rippling in a circle, "No." Jacob repeated again, his voice trailing off in a long trailing tone, as if it were an airplane cloud, gradually dissipating into the air.
 
Anna looked up and once again saw Jacob's deep and soulful eyes, making the whole world light up, the beating of her heart no longer panicked, but made her start to exhilarate and throb, she had to bite her lower lip, which prevented the smile from blooming greatly. Wanting to say something, but not knowing how she should express it, Jacob's unblinking gaze left her with nowhere to run and no room to think.
 
Anna pursed her lips, seemed a little chagrined at her own wretchedness, then lowered her head and began to write in her notebook, "I think your smile is lovely."
 
Anna handed the notebook to Jacob, who took it and laughed lightly after reading the handwriting on it, and then he took the pen and started writing under that line.
 
Unable to resist, Anna just gazed at Jacob, looking at the side of his face, looking at his slightly curly blond-brown head, looking at the hint of a smile contained in the corner of his mouth, looking at his long and thick eyelashes ... She tried to draw the outline of his face with her eyes, but now she could not help but fall on those eyes, imagining the clouds rising in the depths of the eyes, and then her cheeks could not help but become hot.
 
Jacob looked up and handed over the notebook, Anna froze, then took it and looked down at it. She couldn't help but freeze and couldn't believe what she was seeing. She looked up at Jacob, but saw youth and shyness on Jacob's cheeks that were tinged with a pink halo, and Anna looked down at the notebook again before her smile lifted, and it clearly said.
 
"I thought you were going to kiss me straight away. Or are you waiting for me to take the initiative?"
 
Something mute, something cute, something raw, something sly.
 
"Huh." Anna finally did not hold back, silver bell-like laughter then lightly spilled out, turned his head to look over, Jacob face chagrin regret expression, which made Anna laugh more happily, and finally let out a loud laugh. She loved this man, she was so so fond of this man, even crazy about him.
 
Turning her head, Felicity through her own eyes, can see the man with a shy smile, vision because of the pupils in front of a thin layer of pink halo and some not too blurred, she could not distinguish, in the end, this is Jacob or Renly, as if she did not know whether she was Felicity or Anna. Because, the rhythm and force of the heartbeat is so real, fierce and powerful, hit her chest vague law unity.
 
She, really, really liked this man.
 
"Cut!"
 
Drake's voice sounded again, Felicity heard it, but her eyes did not want to move away, did not want to leave, she still smiled brightly, seriously looking at the man in front of her.
 
After the shooting, the man also seems to be embarrassed by the accident just now - the handwriting on the notebook, completely their proscenium waving, the man raised his right hand, rubbed hard the messy head, the bony, long and strong fingers in the light dyed a layer of luminous light, attracted Felicity's entire mind.
 
She really couldn't take her eyes off of it.
 
Deep inside Felicity there was some panic, but worse, she couldn't tell if the apprehension was due to the stirring of falling in love or the fear of confusing reality and illusion.
 
The man looked up, the two eyes met again in the air, and then Felicity saw a flash of light in those eyes, and her heart beat faster than ever: he felt the same as she did! He, like her, had developed feelings! That gentle water-like eyes, so that she could not help but slowly fall, happy smile just upturned.
 
In a flash, the world lights up!
 
So, is this reality or a show, is this real or not?

Now, nothing is going to stop him from achieving his long-cherished dream of acting. Enter Renly Hall, a Hollywood miracle of 21st century.


Note from the translator - from me, that is.
   
"Honestly, I get frustrated too much when I look at countless subpar novels being translated day after day. So much human resources wasted. I kinda get what Qidian International is doing, but it is just, I can't bear the notion of having so many wonderful novels that belong to the Chinese platform to be left in the dust. English-speaking community should know of the existence of such brilliant works, and more so, they should enjoy them. The novel is by a Chinese dude "Qiqi Jia D Mao Mao", whatever that might mean, who wrote several showbiz novels (he is probably the best at what he is doing). It is not my work, I'm just a dude who, with the help of two free machine translators (DeepL and good ol' Google), can show you a hidden gem. Wait, you said machine translators? Sadly, yes. I can't speak Chinese at all, but fortunately, this novel is structured in a machine-translation-friendly way, like really so. Most of the time context is saved. I'm just polishing the edges with my superb (not really) editing skills, so you all chaps have a splendid experience with this good staff indeed. Actually, you can go and read machine translation or just wait for my updates. Up to you dudes and dudies. And then I go away...blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb....."

P.S.
"I am a knife for a hire. So the managers of the site can employ me for this novel, but please don't remove it. Oh, please, I'm begging you on my knees. You guys won't even think of translating this novel, and here I am "translating" it for free,.... well for the time being, that is mwahahaha!"

P.S. for P.S.
This novel does not contain the following:
Harem, definitely not NTR, stupid characters, NTR again (God, I hate NTR (secretly beating the meat for a one in hentai))

But this novel contains:
Great storyline, relatable characters, realistic situations, very fun moments as well as tear jerking ones (so much so, you will find your throat hella sore from crying all the time), surprise after surprise for the decisions that author went with.

You will have a good time indeed
WARNING! READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!

ALICE

Rule No. 2 
When the next in line comes of age, she should submit herself to the Tree of Strings and perform a ritual for the bestowal of string's power. Offering her blood into the tree's roots, she must count the blood-drops to correspond to her lineage. 
______________________________
When I was a kid, I don't have any idea what these strings can do. I just sort of see them and distinguish the black, red, and white colors. Nothing more. When my Aunt told me I'd become a matchmaker at eighteen, I ignored it. That wasn't important to me. But that was back then.
I let go of the white patch black string and sighed. The blood that drips from my nose formed a small pool on the floor. I crouched down and rubbed two palm roll tissues to wipe off the blood. What a nasty blood dripping business this is. Wrapping the string to my index finger let me hear other people's thoughts. And yet, I can't last for 3 minutes. If the timer exceeded, my nose got filled with oozy blood. But I guess I improved. Last time I check, I can't last a minute. I got better. Maybe a bit. But it's worth the shot.
In this red notebook that my Aunt left for me, complete instructions and detailed recounts of each matchmaker in our family are written plaintively. The title " To Alice" is just a disguise, to hide the secrets beneath. Whoever comes up with this is a genius. I mean seriously, this is just like Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter, except the Voldemort's Horcrux. And maybe the answering handwriting of Tom. 
There are six entries here from six different people. I'm the seventh. In my family and in this matchmaking mumbo jumbo business. If I have known how stressful, dreadful, direful, exhaustful, and other dumb synonym words that end with -ful vividly describe how much I want to punch these strings for torturing me like this - I should have never accepted it in the first place! Aaarrgghhh, why am I so dumb?! I guess this is one of those " It-was-at-this-moment-he-knew-he-f*cked-up " except that I'm a she. 
I staggered to stand up from my bed but earned myself another epic face-first dive at the floor. Again. I'm not that heavy but I crash like some kind of big hairy gorilla jumping from a two-meter-high jungle tree. The crashing sound was deafening. Enough for Milky's head to look up innocently. Come on legs, cooperate! I need support from your stick-like bones to stand up and lead me to the bathroom.
 From the corner of my eye, I saw Milky got up and stretch his paws. He jumped from his usual cat couch spot and treads his soft four paws in my direction. Meowing and eyeing me with big round blue eyes. Milky, I know you're cute and all but please leave me alone for now. Let me succumb to my melodrama self-shaming business. I'm still at the part where I blame my stick-like legs. They pretty much suck in functioning as 'legs'. Don't know what's the use for this other than carrying body weight and walking. But they still suck. 
A loud rattle at the door shackled my senses. In my downright flat body position, I can see two pairs of brown hairy sandals stepping inside. Talk about bad luck, here comes the rat.

( Winter's POV )

     THE RAIN was pouring hard and the hush of the wind strongly whispers in the tall fine trees. And I'm standing in the middle of the forest shivering in cold, lightnings visible in the gray tainted sky, the sound of thunders roaring deafening me.

    But I'm not alone in this dark woods. I can feel a pair of eyes watching me from behind, observing my every move. It sent shivers down my spine. Frightened, scared, afraid and every synonym of these words is present of what I'm feeling at this very moment. 

     My eyes widened lips slightly parted as I hear the unknown beings heavy footsteps slowly but surely walking towards my direction. Step by step, no wait, step...by step by step by step? how can a human walk on fours? then perhaps, it's not human. 

     I'm starting to shake in fear for this creature behind me. Then I hear its deep low growl, louder and louder as it goes near me. With every blood in my body I slowly...slowly spun around. Shakey hands and trembling lips I can see it's.....




*kringgggg* *kringgggggg*

I abruptly woke up and sat on my bed catching my own breath. Squeezing my eyes shut I relaxed myself. 1...2...3... I sighed and opened my eyes. I was sweating hard. Gosh it was just another nightmare. But it feels so real. I've been having this nightmare for a week now, ever since our school camp that we went hiking and I lost my track and I was left in the woods till 5 pm. It was devastating, I know.

     What do I expect I'm just a nobody at Dashford Academy. And I love that (except for the hiking part). I love the thought that nobody actually sees me, nobody notices me and nobody cares. 

      For the past five school years I've been living a normal peaceful life. You know, no dramas and all, it's just me and mah books. 

     Preparing myself for school with a simple gray turtle neck long sleeves paired with skinny jeans and converse shoes. Hep hep- not to mention my big circular anti-radiation eyesglasses. And that's my type of fashion. Simple.

    As I entered the kitchen I saw mom preparing breakfast for the both of us. Pancakes with chocolate syrup, sliced apples and fresh lemon juice.

"mornin' mom" I greeted and kissed her on the cheeks

I sat down beside her "morning honey" she greeted back and handed me a glass of lemon juice

"how was your sleep?"

"it was fine mom, I guess" I stated between drinking

she looked at me confused but didn't questioned. Mom just smiled in response.

   My mom is actually my adoptive mother. They took me in back when I was in Angel's love orphanage. Honestly mom and dad had a different child on their mind, but when mom saw a child with dirty clothes on and a runny nose which was me, she changed her mind and got me adopted.

    They took care of me like I'm their own. They gave me so much love and affection that I couldn't even ask for more. And I'm so thankful to them. In the midst of my vulnerability they were there to lend a hand.

    My dad is a neuro surgeon and my mom is a care giver. Last year dad had a car accident and left us. It was very hard for me especially for mom. It's like our other half was taken away, we're so devastated up until now we're still bringing the pain when dad left. 
   
   Mom was trying to be okay. There's a smile on her lips but full of sorrow in her eyes.

   Mom dropped me off to school before she went to work. Waving my hand as I bid goodbye " bye mom take care"

"you too" then off she goes

NOTE:
As of now, only Varchaswa is a reincarnated person. Others share the name with the legendary warriors but are different individuals. Names are inspired, characters are not.

Abhimanyu, one of the legendary heroes of Mahabharata War - the descendant of two mythological Gods Soma & Indra - has reincarnated as Varchaswa, the Second Prince of a declining Kingdom of Dwarka, on the planet 'Bhupati' of a Parallel World 'Jagat'.

On his 16th Birthday, during his coming-of-age cum awakening ceremony, he regained partial memories of his two previous live; and thus he was also able to partially recall the training he received as the legendary son of Arjuna and nephew of Krishna who had once achieved an unparalleled glory at the age of 16 in the Mahabharata War.

He also realizes that he has received the blessing of multiple Gods and has awakened multiple Elements. With the power received from his ancestors and the training he received from one of the Supreme Gods, Varchaswa is now one of the Strongest humans in this Parallel World. However, this world is plagued with evil and many powerful Demonic forces run rampant and wage war against Humanity.

Will Abhimanyu  be able to surpass his previous feats & glory? How will he be able to bring peace and justice to this world?

Classes

Fighter:
The most popular Class in AOS. Somewhat balanced between ATK and DEF, even though most players play Fighter as a DPS-Class.

Sub-Classes:

Fencer:
The Fencer is a fast-paced fighter with high mobility. But his mobility doesn't affect his out of combat stats. He is equipped with one or two rapiers. His kit is based on dodging, fast pace attacks, party ATK-buffing and long Combos.

Gladiator:
The Gladiator is a perfectly balanced Class. He doesn't focus on any attribute at all. He is equipped with a single-handed sword. His kit is based on Normal Attacks, and self-buffing. Not popular in parties, because he's not as tanky as a 'Fortress' and deals less DPS as a 'Dual Blade' or a 'Fencer', but due to his good balance of ATK and DEF he is the best choice for Solo-players.

Dual Blade:
The Dual Blade is a high-damage fighter with high ATK. His focus is on hitting the enemy with high damage attacks rather than fast paced attacks (like the 'Fencer'). He is equipped with two swords. His kit is based on high damage attacks, self ATK-buffing and medium-long Combos with high damage.


Tank:
Tanks focus on getting hit by as much damage as possible by using taunts and DEF-Buffs. Indispensable in most Raids and Parties.

Sub-Classes:

Juggernaut:
Comparable to the 'Fighter Sub-Class Gladiator'. Very balanced between ATK and DEF, but available items and Skills are focused on DEF. He is equipped with a sword and a shield. His kit is based on self DEF-buffing, Normal Attacks, taunts and small Combos. Not popular in teams, because he's not as tanky as a 'Fortress' and deals less DPS as a 'Fighter'. Not very popular for Solo-players either, because Solo-players tend to play the 'Gladiator'.

Fortress:
The definition of a guardian. The Fortress tries to get all the attention from enemies, and tank as most hits as possible, while the rest of the party deals the damage. He is equipped with a sword, a shield and heavy armor. His kit is based on self and party DEF-buffing and taunts.

Samurai:
The Samurai is a 'Tank Sub-Class' equipped with a Katana and heavy armor. He has an aggressive fighting style, which gives him a bit more damage than the fortress, but less tankiness. His kit is based on self and party DEF-Buffs, taunts, Normal Attacks and Abilities.


Assassin:
The Assassin is a high damage burst Class. Very Combo/- and Ability- dependent. Only class in AOS with ranged attacks (even though they are very weak). Even though the Assassin has a very high ATK attribute, his Normal Attacks don't hurt too much.

Sub-Classes:

Shadow Blade:
The Shadow Blade focuses on stealth attacks and attacking from behind. The Shadow Blade is not very mobile, and only has some dashes/gap closer which can only be used offensive. He is equipped with a dagger and shurikens. His kit is based on attacking other Damage Dealer as silent as possible, with high burst Abilities and Combos. His Ability to move invisibly and quietly makes the Shadow Blade a great scout and spy.

Blade Dancer:
Unlike the 'Shadow Blade', the Blade Dancer doesn't focus on silent burst assassination, but on high pace burst Abilities. He is comparable to the 'Fighter Sub-Class Fencer' but with less DMG and more burst. He is equipped with two daggers and shurikens. His kit is based on burst Abilities with high pace, dodging, and assassinations. The Blade Dancer can not only initiate fights, with his dashes on low DEF enemies, but can also get out again with dashes. He is the only Sub-Class in AOS, which can use dashes in-combat to escape.




Attributes
Combat Attributes:
The Combat Stats are Stats which influence the combat. You can get 200 Combat Stat Points by Leveling up (One Combat Attribute Point for each Level), but the amount of individual Combat Stat Points you can get by leveling up your character is maxed at 100 (E.g. A Level 200 Fencer has reached his max Agility at 100 points used for leveling up Agility, he has still 100 Points which he can now use for leveling up other Attributes). However, Equipment can get your Combat Stat Points to up to 200 (E.g. The same level 200 Fencer has a rapier with 100 Agility Points. Even though the max Combat stat points which he can use for leveling up Agility are already used, his agility is no on 200).

Attack(ATK)
The Attack Stat indicates the damage of your Normal Attacks. Most Combos, ATK Buffs and Abilities scale of your ATK as well.
Defense(DEF)
The Defense Stat indicates the damage you can prevent from Normal Attacks, Combos and Abilities. Most DEF Buffs scale of your DEF as well.
Agility(AGI)
The Agility Stat indicates the amount of Normal Attacks you can perform per second (0 Agility = 1 Hit per second; 200 Agility = 3 Hits per second). The Agility Stat also indicates the speed of your Combos.
Mobility(MOB)
The Mobility Stat indicates the speed at which your body can move, the Dodging chance. The lower the enemies AGI the higher is your chance to dodge a Hit.
Hit Points(HP)
The Hit Points (or Health Points/Life Points) indicate the amount of health you've got.
Stamina(STA)
The Stamina Stat can be compared to 'MP' in other RPGs. It indicates the amount of endurance you've got left to cast abilities or combos. Normal Attacks can be performed even without any Stamina at all.


Out of Combat Attributes:
Out of Combat Attributes start at 1 to the beginning of your game. For every Level-Up your Out of Combat Attributes are raised by 1. Can be improved by equipment.

Movement Speed(MS)
Your MS Stat is just slightly affected by leveling up or improving by equipment.
HP Regeneration(Regen)
Your Regen start of at 1 which is equal to 0.5 HP per second, by Leveling-Up and equipment this Stat can rise up to 400, which is equal to about 200 HP per second. With an in-combat Regen Skill the half of your current Regen can be used in-combat for 30 seconds. 


Social Attributes:
The Social Attributes can be used to help yourself (or others) out. It can be raised by practicing or items.

Cooking
The Cooking Attribute indicates how well you can cook. By Leveling-Up this Attribute you can cook harder meals without destroying them (E.g. you can't cook S class ingredients as a level 1 Cook).
Cleaning
The Cleaning Attribute indicates how fast and good you can clean up your (or others) home(s). By Leveling-Up this Attribute you can clean up faster.
Crafting
The Crafting Attribute indicates how fast you can work as a Blacksmith or Craftsman, and which materials you can use. (E.g. you can't use S class Ores as a level 1 Blacksmith).

This addition was created to make it easier for me to keep all the classes and Attributes in AOS in view, and I thought that you might have an easier time as well, understanding all the things which are going on. 

Explanation to all abbreviations (or words you might not understand) used:
AOS: Age of Swordsmen; DPS: Damage per Second; Solo-Player: A player who doesn't want to Party with other players, the reason for that can be differently; Buffing: synonym for strengthen or reinforce; Taunt: A taunt forces an enemy to attack the one who taunt's.
If you still got any ideas for new Attributes or Classes PM me! If I think your idea is good I will try to get into the novel.

Let me ask you a question.

        Did you ever play a game so passionately, that you were able to play it for hours and hours, without even noticing how the time passed by?

        And then imagine being stuck…

        But you’re not only stuck because you can’t get any further, but you are also stuck because you can’t get out anymore

        This is the story of gamers, or should I say brave swordsmen who fought to clear the game, to beat the boss, to be alive. This is the story of a game, the story of…

        The Age of Swordsmen

****************************************************************************************************************************************

Author's Note: First Novel I ever published here. May remind some of SAO, but yeah... It actually isn't really like SAO at all. I would appreciate any corrections of grammar/spelling errors since I'm not a native English speaker.
In addition to that, this is a 'First Draft', so I may edit a few things in old chapters when I feel like it.

"Yeah, it will be fun watching the reaction of the world."


"I can understand that you want to cause a storm in the world by the appearance of a float formation, and I will be at the center of this formation.
Well, I was prepared for this since I had the idea of making a deal with you, so what are your conditions?"

"I am unsure for now, more importantly, what is the material used as a power source in your continent?"

"Magic essence, mortal core, crystals, this three are what mostly used"

"So the mortal core can be used huh" he transmitted a mental order to the leaf-fairy to lend on Theia hands.

"How miraculous," Theia places her finger at the head of the little thing witch in return act like an obedient little child, the more she looks at it the more she can't believe this thing is just formation creature.

"I'll send you a spell so receive it and put it inside your sea of consciousness" he then sent the spell to her by mental message.

The moment Theia activated the spell inside her sea of consciousness she felt a connection between her and the leaf-creature, she felt the creature absorbing from her essence, it looks like Amon set the formation to absorb power essence from the user as a power source, Theia orders it to fly up, then to go down, then to return at her hand, it was astonishing.

"Don't people need Tao to build a formation? How can you make such a complicated formation with your cultivation level, and even if you have high cultivation is it even possible to understand more then one Tao?" it is really weird he is just at the elite realm so how can he feel any Tao?

"let's not talk about the possibility to understand more than one Tao, people need Tao to build a formation but that depends on the formation that you want to make."

"How so?"

"allow me to ask first, what is Tao?" looks like people from this world barely understand Tao

"fragments of specific laws that you can feel it at the crown realm, understanding the Tao is the gate to understanding Laws, for me, I have a fire Tao, it helps me a little in controlling my phoenix fire but that's all"

"Let me put it in an understandable way for you. Understanding the Laws means you have full access to the elements related to them if you have a "Fire Law" that's mean you can See the Fire elements, Feel it and Order it.


Tao is the same. You can See the Fire elements. You can Feel it, and you can Control some of it with hard work, but you can never Order it.


the moment you can Order fire elements is the moment you achieved a Fire Law, then you will be a Law user and will have nothing to do with Tao."

Theia took a moment to absorb these terrifying pieces of information, if what he said is true then, then they were walking on the wrong road!

"Then what about the four families?" she starts being suspicious.

"My theory is The four ancestors of the four families must have encountered a stroke of good luck, and they absorbed the space Law, I am certain they can make strong formations with Space Law, as for the formation that they make now, maybe it is their clans next generations using space Tao, and I am sure all big powers in the continent have hints about what is Tao and Law."

"So it is like that," if the four ancestors have space laws then she must re-evaluate their powers.


"But understanding a Tao or a Law won't make a formation master, I notice that you or maybe the whole world tends to connect the Tao to "the formation", but you must know, the Tao or a Law are just ingredients that serve a purpose inside a formation and can be replaced if there is a replacement." Amon arranged the table again as they set down, completing an explanation

The formation craft is a whole world in itself. The uses of formation can embrace every part of science or alchemy, magic or cultivation, or the whole concept of "civilization". It can change war results or make poor kingdom into a flying paradise, but that wholly depends on the formation master himself.

The professional masters use space Tao or Law every time they make a formation so that all the ingredients will hide in a separate space from the world and you will see nothing but a circle with some unknown runes.

Seeing the glowing runes people constantly think the Tao fills up the formation that is why it's working, but they never discover the "hiding" ingredients.

they made it a general rule in their teaching that the "Tao is the formation", the Tao masters never explain, the more Ignorance of people the more "blessing" to them, only their students or families "must" know about this. If a genius person is born and cracked the formation, it will be a disaster, that is why they never try to correct the misunderstanding. And there are more reasons aside from that.

But what they never try to explain is that "formations need ingredients besides the Tao."
and not "Tao is not always needed inside formation"
because they never know it themselves. They tried running formation without Tao but without avail.

Naturally, capable people know the Tao is not the key player inside the formation and there are other important parts, but it makes no difference. Formation craft is difficult just like Alchemy.


As for people inside the Primordial realm, it is even possible they put formation as a synonym for space Tao or something like that because of the monopoly of the four families.

"Sigh, my view for everything changed, be it for Tao, law or formation, to think people lived for hundreds of thousands of years like morons and am one of them, but when you look at it, the four families played a rule in this, they really deserve to be damned," Theia has a complicated look of sadness, anger, and helplessness. It goes without saying that it is not for the common people but for her and her family and followers.

"I don't think so, they did what any smart person should do, An ignorant enemy can be controlled better than a smart one, to take absolute control of people any successful ruler must govern their emotions and knowledge."

"Amon, you are surprising me more and more, and it's hard to believe you are only one year old, it's not about intelligence but knowledge, we Phoenix clans believe in rebirth, we ourselves undergo an evolution with a condition of burning to death to be fulfilled to evolve or rebirth from our ashes as a new person. Maybe the same happens to you. but, You don't have to tell me, I will figure your secrets one day, just wait," she looks at him without her arrogant look but a rare smile that she shows only to a few.

"Why waiting for? I'll tell you myself the moment I make you mine, and don't bring that 'I am a married woman' things to me because I don't care," Amon looked at her eyes, he really doesn't care if she is married or not, as he set his resolve to make her his woman.

"I don't believe in love or these things, but I am an open-minded person, so there is no certainty in this world, maybe one day you shall be a capable man to do what you say, maybe you will die before even trying, but for now, you are my friend, and I have never put a man as a friend," indeed she never put a man in her eyes, she is a self-made woman that only depended on herself, she gained many friends but all of them are strong women like her, she only meet her 'husband' in the king palace hall or some important events but most her time she is away from him and the palace, her marriage with him was set by her father and the temple as will the late king for many reasons.

"Very well, but I believe you will not get the chance to regard me as your friend for a long time for my existence shall be your yearning in the near future."

Amon the free spirit in his search to build power and wealth under the watch of gods and demons, they don't know if his appearance is a curse or a luck

With his great knowledge, is there anyone who can control him?

This is a selfish man’s journey to control what others have, be it their wealth, land and women

he will take All, and that is his sign
