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.
