Royal Road Community Magazine Contest:"The Person You Pretend to Be"--- Bad cover art done by me (using clipart) --- Blurb: Hi, I'm Gracious Sternham. I'm a Shopkeeper, a husband, a father, and more recently... a Nightblade. That last one is just for me. I haven't told anyone, and I doubt I ever will. I'm not going to do it forever and I certainly didn't set out to be an adventurer. I enjoyed my quiet life. But when Mary, my beloved wife, got sick and I didn't have the coin to get her healed up right as rain... I had to do something. Only... the something turned out to be a magical wardrobe that takes me to a place where I get quests, earn loot, and level up my randomly bequeathed class. I didn't mean to pick it... it just happened. But it doesn't matter! I'm earning coin and keeping Mary above ground and out running around with the kids. They'll never know what I did to get it.
