Vivillon is a young woman whose mother forces her not to question her ancestry or who her father was. She's told she has divine powers, that people would be out to steal them, and she must get stronger to protect herself. The paranoia and anger sets in, which causes her to commit actions she may later regret.
A short story written for a class, based on the backstory of a character I played for D&D. Enjoy!

The Art Of Getting Rich Again
She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.
The Exiled King | ✔
Fifty years ago, demons invaded the mortal realm of Dargon, leaving a trail of destruction across the five kingdoms. The six Guardians of that generation united the kingdoms and fought back against the demons, scattering their ashes to the winds. Then, they vanished into legend, and with them, their powers. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? There are rumours that another demon army gathers in the fiery realm of the Abyss, greater than the first and led by a cunning mastermind whose motivations are unknown. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.
