YES!!! I made, I didn't think I would be able to make the deadline that I kept but I did. I am giving myself a high five for this.
I am changing my writing style. Mainly I going to make a pov meaning point of view style of writing than anything else with a little narration here and there. This should help in the immersion of the story.
Beast Boy's POV
As I considered my options, weighing the pros and cons of what to choose. "So, I can either be a tanky powerhouse with the Monk class or a stealthy assassin with the Scout class," I asked Raven, looking for confirmation.
Raven nodded. "Exactly. Monk and Druid make you nearly unstoppable in direct combat, while Scout and Druid let you excel at stealth and surprise attacks. Both paths have their strengths, depending on how you want to approach the battlefield."
I am wasting my time overthinking this. "I think I'll go with the Monk class for now. I want to be able to take hits and deal serious damage up close."
Raven gave a thoughtful look, maybe she was impressed by my choice. "Good decision." Hearing her say that almost made me want to high-five myself, but I played it cool.
"With the Monk's resilience and your animal forms' strength, you'll be a formidable opponent in any fight. But remember, you can always switch classes later if you need to experiment."
Feeling more confident about my decision, i nodded. "Thanks, Rae. I'm ready to put these skills to the test."
"Not now. We've had a very tiring day. Let's have some supper and think about what we should do tomorrow." Raven told me and just started walking away.
"Yeah, thanks, Rae. I was feeling a bit hungry," i admitted, my stomach growling in agreement.
After we had a good meal, we went our separate ways for the night. Raven headed to her room while I being the gentleman that I am decisided to sleep on the blanket thrown at the coner of the room.
'gentelman my ass' but since there was no point in arguing about this, so changing into a cat i got comfortable before sleep took me almost immediately.
The Next Day
I woke up to the now-familiar scent of green tea. The scent was amazing or more like it brought back good memories, well no time to dwell in the past.
I stretched, feeling surprisingly well rested. "I could get used to waking up like this," he murmured.
"You'll have to," Raven replied, sipping her tea. "I intend to have green tea every morning."
"Do I look like I'm complaining? A cup of tea every morning, made especially by a beautiful girl." Raven, glancing at me, her eyes piresing at me. That was new— has no one ever called her beautiful before.
'Is he just flirting, or does he actually mean it?' she wondered, her thoughts racing at goblin hero, it was new, very unfamiliar.
I caught the brief look on Raven's face and realized whatever I had said seemed to catch her off guard. As i glanced over at my makeshift bed, i added with a smirk, "And an amazing five-star bed to sleep in."
Raven's expression shifted, and i could almost see the gears turning in her head. I might have made it worst.
'Wait, was he being sarcastic? The entire thing was sarcasm... I see,' she seemed to realize, and for some reason, that thought seemed to disappoint her.
Raven quickly shifted back to business. "Well, we have a lot of things to do. It might be overwhelming, but we can take it step by step. Got it?"
I nodded, ready to lay out the plan. "First, we need to get your mother out from wherever she's being held. Then, we need to find a way to get me home." I lifted a finger to count each step. "And we also need to gather all the ingredients your mother needs."
But before i could continue, Raven interrupted me, holding up her hand. "I'm going to stop you right there. Getting my mother out is actually almost at the bottom of our priorities. We have other things to take care of first."
That was unexpected "Wait... What? But why? Isn't your mother in some dungeon or something?"
"No," Raven explained. "She's under house arrest, not in a dungeon. She's the most powerful witch in the kingdom. Even if the king is angry because she summoned you, he won't do anything to harm her."
"Then what are you saying we should do?" I questioned, now more curious than ever.
"We need to make you a myth," Raven said, her eyes narrowing at me as she laid out her plan.
"A myth?" I parroted her words.
"Yes. You need to show up every now and then, save some people, kill some bandits or monsters. If we do that, the whole kingdom will be talking about you. There'll be some truth to it, but most of it will be exaggeration and rumors that are passed by one person to another."
I frowned. "But why?"
Raven looked me in the eye. "The king is angry that my mother summoned a goblin, but if the whole kingdom thinks you're some kind of nature sprite, he might let my mother go. It's not guaranteed, but it's our best shot."
"Well... okay," i agreed, realizing that, as strange as it sounded, i really don't have anything else to go by, and raven was the expert here.
"So first things first. Planing." Raven took out the same papers and started to cut them up in to post it size and then started to write on them.
"Let's start. You need to do this
1. *Targeted Heroic Deeds* you need to only appeared every now and then. The less they see you the better, but not too less.
2. *Mysterious Appearances* you appear from thin air and after the day is saved you disappear.
3. *Exaggerated Rumors* unluckily this is not in our hands, as you keep doing the first two steps they rumours are gonna spread and hopefully it would be in our favour.
4. *Prophetic Elements* this rumours are gonna give rise to things like, people believing your the choose hero of a god or goddess.
5. *Symbolic Victories* at point you need to Do something amazing, like overthrow so tyrant or kill a dangerous dragon. To solidify your legend and spread your name throughout the land.
6. *Create a Mythic Persona* after all this is done. You'll be a legend, a myth.
Raven finished her explanation and waited for the green hero to say something but all she got was a look of dumbfounded.
"Any questions"
She asked me, like dude where do I start. I looked over the slips again.
"Let's start with the first one. What do you mean I can only appear every now and then"
"Gold is scarce while rocks are abundant. If you are see everyday then people won't really care. You'll be seen as a different human, special but that's it. But if you were only to appear in a gap of 5-7days come in save the day and leave. It would really drive the whole mysterious hero."
"Wait, what am I supposed to do on those 6 days that I don't show my face" i asked her. She looked at me and ever so slightly made eye contact with the blanket at the corner of the room..
"No, I'm not sleeping on a blanket all day," I said, though the idea didn't sound as terrible as I tried to make it. Imagine a life where you sleep all day—it had its appeal.
"Of course not...you'll also be hunting for food." The pause didn't help her case. "And going to the dungeon to level up."
A sigh escaped my lips. "Raven, I think I'll be going out almost every day," I said before she could respond. "Not as Beast Boy, but as an individual or an adventurer. I can't stay cooped up in this room every day."
She seemed to consider it, then asked, "How will you disguise yourself?"
i looked at her before changing into a cameleon and changing back. Then I focused on the colour changing ability of the cameleon and in no time my skin was the colour of tan brown.
"You ears?"
"I will wear a hat or an helmet".
There was now a pause as raven looked at me thinking of a new question "be careful out there"
"I will" a breath of relief escaped me, i didn't even know I was holding one.
"Thanks rae. So what do I do. I mean is there an adventure guide or something"
"Yes, there is. There are multiple types of guilds and sub-guilds that fall under the main ones," Raven explained. Seeing that she had my full attention, she continued, "Let me break down the main guilds in this kingdom for you."
#1. *Adventurers' Guild*
Raven started, "First, there's the Adventurers' Guild. This guild is where those who crave excitement and glory come together, legally. It's a diverse place, where you can find people who explore uncharted lands, hunters who track down dangerous creatures, and even animal trainers who work with beasts for combat or companionship."
# 2. *Mages' Guild*
She paused before moving on, "Then, there's the Mages' Guild. This is where all things magical are studied and practiced. It's a hub for wizards, sorcerers, and scholars who want to advance their knowledge in the arcane arts. They even have sub-guilds like the Healers, who specialize in magical healing, Alchemists who create potions, and Enchanters who can imbue objects with magical properties. People form this guild do tend to join the other quilds as a means to earn there keep."
# 3. *Merchants' Guild*
She moved to the next one, "Next is the Merchants' Guild. They're the backbone of the kingdom's economy, overseeing trade, production, and the sale of goods. They keep the markets running smoothly. The guild is divided into sub-guilds like the Trade Brokers, who handle deals, the Artisans, who craft high-quality goods, and the Transporters, who ensure everything reaches its destination safely. They're a key source of jobs for adventurers, wizards, and mercenaries alike. Speaking of which..."
#4. *Mercenaries' Guild*
Raven's tone became more serious. "The Mercenaries' Guild is different. It's a guild for professionals in combat and covert operations. Whether it's thieves handling espionage, assassins targeting high-risk individuals, or bodyguards protecting the important, this guild is all about getting the job done—no matter what that job is. It's not legal, but the king is well aware of it and occasionally uses their services."
"He does?" I asked, surprised.
Raven nodded, "If he wants someone to disappear without any trace leading back to him, this guild is his go-to."
She paused, giving me a moment to absorb the information. "Each of these guilds plays a crucial role in the kingdom's workings. Understanding them might be useful as we move forward."
She then added, "The only guild you can join is the Adventurers' Guild, and before you get any ideas, the Wizards' Guild is mostly just a library—nothing but books."
Seeing my less-than-enthusiastic reaction, she continued, "The Merchants' Guild requires you to be a permanent, active seller, and the Mercenaries' Guild is hidden. It doesn't have a building; it's all about whispers and rumors in the shadows."
"Got it, Rae," I said, though I still had more questions swirling in my mind.
"What about the other slips?" I asked, a overwhelming feeling taking over me as I look at those slips
"Don't worry about them. If you follow the first three steps, the rest will fall into place," Raven reassured me.
"So, how do I join the Adventurers' Guild?" I asked.
"Just go there and ask around. It helps if you know someone who can vouch for you," Raven said, as she started to put her slips and notes away. "Maybe someone you've helped before?"
"Yeah, I do. I met someone named Luke."
..and that's it for this chapter. Ok guys tell me what you think. should I write like this or go back to how I was writing previously.
Timothyd394 : I don't know any DnD girls, I'm currently planning to include five female characters, but I'm open to adding more, whether as part of a side quest or just a one-time encounter.
If anyone has recommendations for monster girls or anything in the DnD world, I'd love to hear them.
it would be amazing if gave me a idea of a character and how they interact with the story.
I also have an important question for all of you:
I'm considering adding more mature elements to the story, including themes of death, some gore, and sex scenes. I'd really appreciate your feedback on this since it will shape the direction of the story going forward.
Please do leave a review—it really helps the story grow!
