Headed by a Snake

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. Here is my discord: https://discord.gg/NNbAj7N Constructive criticism and corrections welcome. Other Authors extra-welcome.

Excerpt

Tycon emerged from the shadows as he approached the ruined man lying in a pool of his own blood.

Barza looked up with tearful eyes at the green-haired youth. "Sir Tycon..."

It was over. He did well. He would finally be praised, "May I have... Your permission... To..."

Barza's consciousness was fading fast. He struggled to voice his final wish. He had only made it this far thanks to Tycon's training. He desperately yearned for the cold-hearted man's approval, to be granted permission to die. Only then would he be able to find peace in the afterlife.

Tycon glared down, his face contorted in disgust. "Permission denied."

⟬ An excerpt from the exploits of Leader Tycondrius of Guild Invictus, circa 1014 YK ⟭

Hello, esteemed Cultivators. Above is an excerpt from Chapter 46 that I believe captures the essence of the novel. I hope it finds you well.

This novel has a bit of many things, but focuses on a bit of magical adventure, using violence to solve problems, a sprinkle of romance, a heavy dosage of "bromance", and an honest, if flawed attempt to positively influence the newer generation in a combat profession.

Anyroad, I pray you won't have to think too hard about what's going on. I sincerely hope you enjoy your time reading Headed by a Snake.

Update 1 May 2020. If you're just joining us and want to skip ahead, you can head to Volume 2, Chapter 207. Very little background information is important, from there. There's also an appendix in 205-206 if you enjoy the minutiae behind the setting.
