Vol 5: Chapter 6 – Danger lurks

Mirgia and Doroly went to the location of the nearby dungeon on foot. Despite her smaller stature, Doroly was easily able to keep up with Mirgia’s larger strides.

From the world of the Hesitant Hero: Redsan Village

In my effort to accomplish three different things at once, I’ll be talking about the world of the Hesitant Hero from time to time. The three things I want to accomplish with this are simple. I want to give myself some breathing room between chapters, which hopefully results in a better thought out story. Writing … Continue reading From the world of the Hesitant Hero: Redsan Village →

Trading inspiration for productivity

I have been writing for a very long time. I’ve likely talked about this before, but when I was still in primary school and my age was still single digits, I would go to our little writing club which I had with some other guys from my school.

Vol 5: Chapter 5 – Trouble Brewing

Mirgia woke up face down in the hay. His alcohol tolerance wasn’t what it used to be and he drank quite a lot during the cookout the previous evening.

Vol 5: Chapter 4 – Dinner Stories

Seated between Teddy and Doroly, who were both very kind to him, Mirgia still couldn’t help but feel out of place.

Vol5: Chapter 1 – Strange Lands

“Do you think he’s going to be okay?” The first thing Mirgia heard when his consciousness returned to him was the voice of what seemed to be a young child. He felt his body shake as the cart he found himself in traversed the rough road. He squinted in the harsh sunlight of the midday … Continue reading Vol5: Chapter 1 – Strange Lands →

The Hesitant Hero – The story so far

Vol4: Chapter 31 – Epilogue

The next few weeks went by relatively fast. The royal family announced Cobal and Diana’s engagement at a massive party, where nobles from around the country were invited.
