✧ Fairly Golden Words (Golden wise words that isn't so wise nor so gold)

About Me

Hello, both newcomer and familiar faces! ^-^/

First of all, thank you for giving this book a chance. Unlike my most books that are fiction, this one is about me myself, my life. Thus you can say, this book is to let the world know me better.

This book originally named "Not-So Golden Words" as the name meant to imply that this is my words of wisdom, but might not be perfectly wise, not guaranteed to be correct or that great. Thus aren't really golden words, but it carry the glitters.

Before you continue.... You might asked, who am I?

Well, me? I am just an ordinary boy. My online name is Crimson Scythe, called just Crimson, and most often simply as Crim. I'm an author of many books - few already published in Wattpad - of many genres. Most of my works are about actions, but the theme greatly varied one to another as I try to keep it diverse. I write fantasy, science fiction, paranormal/supernatural, mystery, horror, humor, romance. Basically, I tried many things! xD

Anyway, many of my stories are actually made for video games, some very few are for manga, and if lucky enough, could be animated into anime.

As you can guess, I am a fan of video games, anime, and such thing. I'm used to be quite of passionate otaku, before the term "weeb" even existed, as anime always been part of my life, back to my childhood. I can proudly say that it's big part of what inspire me to get this far.

I'm also an artist. I drawn in anime style for ages, although creating anime/manga is not my goal. I invest my potential to create video game stories for my future video game developer team, and I'll most likely be the one who handle the art.

For over five years, there's already over twenty video game stories created in my mind. Some of them are my masterpieces that I'm very proud of, and I genuinely wish that they could become a real, successful video game series one day.

Oh, one thing before I continue.... English is not my first language and I'm pretty bad at grammar. I'm not a Westerner, I'm not from America or Europe, but Asia. I live in a place where English is not even the secondary language, let alone expecting people to be fluent at English here.

I'm Indonesian, and Indonesia inherit vast amount of culture from thousands of tribes, of thousands islands, many with their own local languages, such as the Javanese and Sundanese language that you might heard before. Even the main language, Indonesian, have vastly different grammar than English! Even with nine years of school, getting a hold of English grammar is still such a difficult task.

I would love to talk more about Indonesia and our cultural difference, but that's something for another chapter. Now let's move on to my current life.

I'm an orphan, which mean, both my parents already gone. My father passed on when I was very small, so I didn't remember much of him. My mother suffered from kidney failure long ago, and need to go through the haemodialysis treatment in the hospital at least once in a week for every week, for years, until she passed away as well, somewhere about five or six years ago.

I only got one sibling from my parents, and she's my elder sister who already got married, now having one daughter. There's a stark contrast between me and my sister, that we never could get along. At first, what was like sibling fighting slowly build into unhealthy relationship full of conflict and drama, that ultimately end my educational journey as my college life shambles, abruptly stop me in the middle of my university road, as our family issues makes me choose to stop this and start anew.

Unlike my sister, I am not so capable. I mean, she's pretty rich and I'm dirt poor, but I still rather not rely on her since she's so arrogant, bossy and rude. I decide to separate myself from her, going to another city.

You see, all this time, I live in the capital city, Jakarta. We move to few different houses around Jakarta, including to the neighboring small town called Bekasi. And when I try to separate myself, I go to another Island outside of the Java mainland, to a small town called Lampung. Sadly, no success can be found there. My family in there are so old, and although they're like my aunties or something, not everyone among there support me either.

A year later, I move back to the Java island, to a major city called Surakarta, or just shortly known as Solo city. Now I live with my old friend that you may call as Frosty. He's a historian, so his major is history, although his actual job is owning a pharmacy brand. If you wanna know how he looks like, google up JonTron. That's close enough.

Talking about job, my first job dated back to my high school life, where I tried working on a bakery that my sister owned. I never really enjoyed it because it's tiresome and the payment is really not worth it. However the job is easy, since it's just a part time stuff. On that bakery, my default job is simple, that is to process the hardened baguette into garlic bread. (You know how freaking hard a baguette can become after they kept too long? Yeah, I need to cut them down with saw-blade-like long knife)

From there, it sharpen my cooking skill, since my sister tried doing a catering job few years before I leave her, and I helped her with some of the cooking. Even now, I can totally create so many kind of cuisine with very low budget, and can even turn a leftover into delicious meal! xD

As for now, I'm not "officially" working as I'm here just to take care of the house, doing the chore and stuff. My income is still very low, not much different than my part time job at that bakery, and even lower than that one. But it doesn't bother me and I'm comfortable with this kind of life, because I can spend my time for my hobby, for things that I actually enjoy. From writing books, making various graphics, including book covers, and spending much of my time drawing in anime style, especially drawing the concept art of my stories. (Other than that, I often makes and browse memes in my spare time, lmao)

My online life was always been mainly in DeviantArt ever since my early middle school age, before high school. Then, when I get to my college, I tried to put my stories into literature form since it's the most affordable form that I can achieve for now, thus I discovered Wattpad, somewhere around three to four years ago.

Discovering Wattpad changes me in many way, for the better and the worse. Other than the intense level of unhealthy drama that I've been through on the Wattpad forum ever since many years ago, I also improved. My biggest jump was joining the FCDB, the Fantasy Character Death Battle community few years ago, to point that becoming one of the moderator. The game inspire me, open my eyes, and after gathering enough experience, I open my own community, the Epic Battle Game, or EBG for short.

I will talk more about FCDB and EBG later, but one thing that I need to say, that even now, I'm still very proud of becoming the head moderator of EBG, and consider everyone there as my family. EBG will always be my home, it will always carry all the memories, that will forever be remembered.

In case you're not aware, the old Wattpad forum closed just a month ago, replaced by the new forum called "Community" now. So, unfortunately, with grave sadness, EBG and many more threads on the old forum need to died down. However it's not the end. I promised to archive everything for future reference, and I'm still working on it even now.

Meanwhile, the new "Community" is open, but I can't be there yet until I got a computer or a decent phone to use it.

Well... right now, I DO already got the computer to use it, but it's a new thing that just arrived lately, so EBG is still inactive.

Until I can go back to EBG, I will focus on my books, at least for a week or two. That includes this book.

Anyway, that conclude a short summary of me and my life so far! :3

Next, I will go start publishing my opinions on various topic, especially one that's I'm so familiar with. However before that, I will share some of my quotes. And I hope that you'll enjoy! ^-^/
