Wandering Storm

After the fateful day, the reinforcement arrived, only to see that the aftermath of the grand battle was still untouched and a colossal body of a giant beast, whose head was in a horrible gruesome state, laying peacefully on the grass field.

After asking every single human of Derenal, they couldn’t found anything except for a few words like “Damian”, “Brown robe” and “neck”.

A few months later, after the news of the unfathomable event in the City of Derenal had spread world-wide, the Ergosia ranking was edited. An additional page was added, with the headings “Rank 0, Damian the Apprentice”.

But unlike 3 lower rankers, his appearance, his stories, his achievements and even his favorite food was recorded. At the end of the profile, a drawing of a Capri-sun box could be seen.

Back in his realm, Absolution, where a lonely little wood cabin floated inside an empty universe which was illuminated by countless illusory stars, Damian looked at the coiled horn of Zergish, whose size had been reduced to only 30cm. He took it close to the camera of his PC and snapped a pic.

Then he uploaded the pic to Etsy and wrote “Fantasy Toy for adults! Supremely coiled surface with tingling sensation of electricity!” He sold the horn as an adult toy…

But that was not true, after finishing the upload, he cloned the horn into 20 more replicas. Then he conjured a bottomless wardrobe which was used to display horns of all kinds.

“There, next to Pinky” Damian put the colorful coiled horn next to Pinky, a metallic gray skeletal horn of a powerful undead unicorn.

Closing the wardrobe, he heaved a fulfilling sigh and jumped onto his bed. He did nothing but stared blankly at the dark brown ceiling, which was made from wood, however, the veins of the logs kept pulsing faint golden lines from one end to another. Damian’s whole cabin was made from a special kind of wood, which he earned from a realm resembling paradise after helping them a heroic deed. As his eyes traced one golden line after another, his smile slowly curled upwards and muttered:

“Where should I go next, hehe…”

End of Story

( And that's all for my first ever story! Damian was created as merely a fun OC long ago, but I suddenly had an idea of this story and decided to write it. It was fun, really.

Thank you for having reached the end of Wandering Storm. I'll post my next short story next year, it is shorter than this, but better written imo. So
