The Nexus Chronicles
CalVO for The Professor
The professor is one of the main characters and arguably the most important for the first volume of The Nexus Chronicles.
The professor is arrogant and hates to lose. On top of all that, they're incredibly ruthless when it comes to getting what they want. Nevermind who gets hurt along the way. It's best to stay out of their way when they're focused on something.

The cold bite of the northern wind sank deep into my bones as I trudged along the snow-covered path. Though my body was weak from hunger, and my lips cracked open, exposing the soft, red, flesh to the elements, I continued ever onward. For I was so very close to my destination. As the colossal monolith ahead of me stood waiting, dark and silent as a shadow, I could not help but think back to how I was set on this course of action.
The selling of these secrets had allowed me to amass a fortune so large that it allowed access to nearly any and all resources that I desired. Most people would be satisfied with such a large amount of wealth.
I’m not, nor will I ever be, most people.
I did try to reason with them. Truly, I did. I offered them food, medicine, and riches beyond anything they could’ve possibly imagined. They were adamantine in their stubbornness. What choice did they leave me? I offered them an olive branch, and they knocked it from my hand.
So I put them to the sword.
Phenomenal job. One note: In the final paragraph, if you could gradually have the Professors voice take a darker tone and pace as he recalls his frustration when dealing with the tribe. Something along the lines of "what choice did they leave me...? I offered them an olive branch, and they knocked it from my hand... *so I put them to the sword*
Thank you for the feedback. I understand, if you would like I can happily do another take. Thanks again.
Yes. I think that would be good.
