Chapter 18

I walked towards the very familiar towers of the college. The bounded field around the whole building was a much welcomed reprieve from the harsh weather outside.

I carried my new sword, Dawnbreaker in my hand. I had wrapped it up with some cloth, I didn’t want an obviously magical blade shining everywhere I went. I also felt a bit awkward about putting it into my storage ring for now, I didn’t know how that would react with Miridia’s…sight, or whatever she was doing to watch ov...

Chapter 17

“You know, this is the part where either a rejection or an acceptance comes. Usually a rejection in my experience…..” I mumbled.

Okay, to be fair it only happened once, I wasn’t exactly the most social person when I was younger, and I asked a girl out. Got rejected, blah blah teenage angst.

I blinked and a moment later I was back on the ground, standing infront of Meridia’s statue. Gone was the glowing orb of light, replaced with the familiar outline of a woman I had pre...

Chapter 16

Maybe it was instinct or just blind luck that I summoned the boosted gear and used it as a shield while applying all my short-term buffs.

I was almost blown away as the force slammed into me and the stones around my body were upheaveled.

What the fuck!?

[That was interesting.]

The fuck did it just do? That wasn’t like normal magic, the world bent when it shouted......almost like a marble phantasm, but that isn’t right either. My oak flesh was torn apart at impact t...

Chapter 15

I said my goodbyes to Thorum and departed at dawn, the old cart driver was waiting for me, having paid him a for a few days to stay here.

I had a second job to take care of, the enchantments on the Companion’s weapons only took the better part of a day and I even had some supplies left. The pay was decent as well, a good chunk to add to my savings.

Perhaps I should have handled the whole things better….well I guess everything turned out well enough. It seemed like no one harbo...

Chapter 14

I started laying out various metals on the table, watching Thorum give each a keen eye, inspecting and moving on to the next.

“Okay, I think I recognize all of these, it’s been a few years since I’ve heard my Da’s talks about metals.”

“Any help is better than none.” I replied.

“Lets see.” He picked up the black ore that looked smooth to the touch. “This is ebony, very expensive, and hard to get ahold of. I hear the Orcs run most Ebony mines in Skyrim and ...

Chapter 13

I was lucky enough to catch the old man before he left on his cart. Apparently, he had spent all the money I paid him before, so he was going back to work.

That was his life, he would take travelers here and there, then shack up in the latest Tavern, spend all his coin and do it all over again.

I can’t really blame him either, that sounded like an easy-going life.

It wasn’t very hard to convince him to go to Whiterun, originally, he was going to Windhelm, but a bit of go...

Chapter 12

I happily bit into the apple as I put the books away. Urag or is it Urag Gro-Shub, is it all one name? Well, I’m just going to keep calling him Urag in my head.

Urag just gave me a grunt when he walked by. From my interactions with the man so far, that is the highest of praises this he can give.

I did read, err skim a book on the Races found in this world. An orc, how interesting. They were made out to be berserks, not in the insulting sense, but the warrior-type. I guess it’s...

Chapter 11

The library was massive, there were shelves that ascended to the ceiling, all filled with books. Beautiful, beautiful books, each one holding information on a subject I didn't know.

I found a table in a back corner; I didn't want to be disturbed. There were probably a hundred books all stacked up around me.

'History of Skyrim'

'The Aedra and Daedra, A Look Into the Divine.'

'Schools of magic, a Beginner's guide.'

The titles continued, everything I could possibly ...

Interlude 1

POV Sona Sitri.

***************

I was….not having a good day.

Where did it all go wrong? Was it yesterday, when I was blown up? No, I think I can go further back, it wasn't even when I agreed to watch over Lord Lucifer's…. bastard. Truthfully, I think it was when I was born.

Yes, everything started to go wrong when I met my sister.

I love Serafall, dearly, but Satans below, I want to strangle that girl sometimes….often.

"Sister, please." I begged, qui...

Chapter 10

I was staring over the side of a cliff, at the edge of Winterhold. I could see houses, buildings, and all kinds of infrastructure poking out of the side of the mountain, all the way down to the gorge below. Not only that, but I could also see the bridge into the College, it didn't look like it should be standing, let alone being used.

What did they call it, the great collapse?

I got the cliff notes version of what happened, but seeing it still like this was something else.

A...

Chapter 9

"Wake up." I felt a prodding in my shoulder, I was still drowsy, and my head was killing me.

"Wake. up." I heard and felt it again.

I groggily lifted my head up to look at the…person poking me. He was, not a race I had seen before. An elf of some sort, the people weren't freaking out, so I was assuming that his species wasn't uncommon.

"The fuck do you want?" He was dressed well, too well. He had a permanent look on his face that screamed, 'I'm better than you'.

"How...

Chapter 8

"What do you mean you're not going to Riften!?"

"All the rumors coming from that place, I aint going near it for the time bein."

I could only just sigh is frustration. "Look, if it's a matter of money—"

"It aint about the coin boy, did you not hear my words? I Aint going near it." The cart driver seemed adamant about staying away from that town for some reason.

"What exactly are these 'rumors'?"

"A dragon." He puffed out smoke from his mouth, tapping his pipe o...

Chapter 7

Welcome, welcome!” I heard the shopkeep excitedly shout as I opened the door.

“Greetings.” I gave a curt reply. I was getting a bit of a slimy feeling from him. He looked normal enough, nothing inhuman about his appearance if only his skin was a little dark, weird for this climate.

He gave me a once over, I would have assumed he would be displeased by my current state of dress. My clothes were a bit torn and ruffled and perhaps even dirty. But I guess under all of that they ...

Chapter 6

Oww, my fucking head. I wanted to reach up and rub it, but I found my hands bound.

“Careful there, friend.” I looked up at the source of the voice, my eyes adjusting to the scene around me. “You took a nasty tumble and hit your head.”

I heard the words, but they took a moment to register. Where was I, how did I even get here? Last thing I remember I went through a portal, and it felt like I hit something next thing I know, here I am. Were my calculations wrong? Impossible,...

Chapter 5

I was a bit giddy at my newfound toy. The red gauntlet, my Boosted Gear appeared on my arm. I flexed my muscles, wiggled my fingers and made sure to go through the full range of motions to get an idea of how it would feel.

I have to admit, this thing felt great. On the surface, it looked rather bulky, but it moved almost like a skin-tight glove. Its weight wasn’t anything worth mentioning, yet I knew it was unbelievably durable. If nothing else, it would make a great shield.

I d...

Chapter 4

Finding where Issei Hyoudou lived wasn’t easy enough. I saw him and his two ‘friends’ running home together screaming about a porn game they were going to play. Just like me, the people on the street didn’t even bat an eye at their behavior.

I think most people were well aware of this trio’s tastes at this point. It’s not that I’m a prude or anything, I’m a healthy young man, and like most my age, girls probably take up at least half my thoughts on average, I just don’...

Chapter 3

All of this was coming together nicely, but I noticed something immediately as I started working. There were gaping holes in my combat ability, I wasn’t nearly at the level of my previous self I couldn’t just Ether Cannon the moon back into orbit, nor do I have the millennium’s worth of experience to go with my knowledge that was pouring in.

Where do I go from here? I will need to begin my calculations if I truly wanted to utilize the Kaleidoscope, but some of them need to be done...

Chapter 2

As the cascading colors faded from my vision, I noticed the familiar ceiling of my home. Even without moving, my hands started to roam my body, making sure I was still in one piece. There was light peeking through the windows already, had I fallen asleep…. was it all a dream?

I brought my hand up to my neck where there was a faint burning sensation. My stomach dropped as I realized where it was from.

Memories of a previous self had flooded my mind.

There was no thunderous ...

Chapter 1

I was in the middle of class when I couldn’t help but just stare at the ceiling. People talking around me, I heard my teacher lecture about something irrelevant, but my mind was completely unfocused. Even as everyone got up and left, I was still stuck in a daze.

Was I going crazy? I knew what schizophrenia was, but didn’t that come on gradually, not just out of the blue? Maybe I took some really bad drugs…..without knowing? I know I haven’t been sleeping well, but it’s not lik...

Welcome!

My first post is just to welcome any new subscribers to my Patreon and post a little bit more about myself. 

First off, I enjoy writing. It's always been a hobby for me and I recent wanted to do a bit more with it. I usually tend to write my fanfiction involving the Fate series in some capacity, but I do have interests in other media. I try to average about 2000 words per chapter, though I think it's more important to finish an idea regardless of how long it is, so some chapters ma...
