I woke up in this world with a System and a sword. Without hesitation, I chose to complete the princess’ quest with my weapons: Arrogance. Cunning. Pride. I will lead guild Sol Invictus. Denizens of the 7 hells, respect me. Servants of the 11 heavens, know fear. Guild Invictus, know the suffering of training so you can wrest victory from the jaws of those who dare doubt you. 

This is a story about a snake named Tycondrius waking up in a fantasy world of swords and sorcery. There is action, violence, unapologetic murder, and arrogant displays of power. There is an emphasis on combat growth as well as psychological growth on more than a few members of Guild Invictus. There is camaraderie and also the inevitable comedic dialogue amongst manly men. There are even elements of romance and Tycon running away from terrifying, powerful women. (Did you know most female snakes eat their partners after mating?) 

Give this book a read. I hope some of these stories can inspire you to fight your battles with analytical intelligence, heroic courage, and ruthless lethality. 

Work is completed as of 9May2024. There's also a few side-stories written in Chapter 1151!  The Author is working on a new story called 'I Wish You Were Never Reborn.' After four or so years of writing, my skills have much improved. Highly recommend.

Headed by a Snake

Tycon unwrapped the bound leathers, revealing a darkwood crossbow.

Though it was never Victorius' preferred weapon, he couldn't deny its masterful craftsmanship. On a whim, he picked it up, holding it in his good hand... its grip was comfortable and its weight, reassuring. Its worked wood and intricate mechanisms made it far more expensive than anything he'd ever owned... even his personal longbow, the one he'd sold off, long ago.

There was one thing that bothered him, though... Sir Tycon was a generally private person. He wasn't the type of person to show things off... not without reason.

It took him entirely too long to notice that the weapon's grip was left-handed.

"Sir Tycon..." Victorius gulped hard, his throat dry and his heart pounding. Whenever he faced the golden-eyed Decanus... he could never remember what it was like to be brave... "I can't wield this... with the way my hand is... I have no hope of loading it."
