A Bored Lich
"Screw magic, I want to learn how to do cool flips and stuff." Magic is awesome, until you've studied it for centuries. Doevm reincarnates into a human to experience the path of a fighter to its fullest and swears not to rely on magic. There is only one problem, a goddess stands in his way. She pits him against both the hero and the villain for all of eternity. How will he escape this, with magic or his fists? Maybe both? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Sorry about the spacing. Webnovel doesn't let me use enter) Winner of contest #110. I upload three chapters a week. Each chapter has word count around 1000+.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Link to my discord: https://discord.gg/tHaceja ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------While I am an experienced writer, I do make mistakes. Don't be afraid to say you don't understand something or point out an error in grammar. I read all comments. There are naturally some things I won't say. For example, if some says there's an inconsistency and I don't address it, it's probably there for a reason.
Regret
Frey's heart pounded against his chest. 'Why did I tell them so much?' he thought, instantly regretting his actions. 'Maybe I can say it was all a joke. It's not too late.' His lips quivered, trying and failing to form a fake smile. 'No, I am dealing with this now.' He pressed his fingernails into his palms. The pain kept him still as he waited for their responses. 'They're not going to believe me. They're just going to laugh. Gwen would laugh and she's…a manipulative bitch.'
"And?" Elero was the first one to ask. Frey was preparing for her to attack, curse, or yell, but her calmness was somehow worse than all of those things. He cocked his head to the side and froze for a couple of moments, trying to process that single word.
"What do you mean and?" Frey rebuked. 'That's it?' He thought. 'All the anxiety, all the pained silence and guilt, all the stress and sleeplessness; that was all for nothing? No, this can't be it. They must have misunderstood something.'
