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

Coraline's ears twitched. The other passengers had arrived in the hallway.

"Maisie! Are you alright?!" Captain Nikandros voiced his concern. He was heaving, sweat pouring down his forehead from the short run. "By the gods, woman-- is that blood?"

"C-cap'n! M-mista Highblade, he-- Oh, it's terrible!" Maisie sobbed.

Coraline placed her oil lamp on a desk and knelt down to inspect Arod's body.

There was a puncture wound on his lower back and the front of his throat had been slit, ensuring his death.

"Someone attacked Master Highblade from behind..." Coraline turned back towards the crowd in the doorway... "--with a bladed weapon."

"He-- he got done in by a sword!" Maisie shouted, her light voice crescendoing into a high-pitched screech, "An' the only one that coulda done it is the dragon BITCH!!"

"And I still *have* that sword, you stupid whore," Olesya growled back.
