Chapter 566: The Words of the Wicked 4
“Huh, you look great . People might even mistake you for a zombie . ”
Looking at Constantine’s face, Luke smiled .
Luke was a nice man, just not as kind as Reina .
He was someone who believed that the wicked should be punished .
Constantine, whose body was burnt all over, tried to heal his wounds with Divine power .
However, he wasn’t able to use it .
Luke had absorbed all the Spirit Power in him and sealed off the Divine power in Constantine .
Luke had fought against numerous priests and paladins when he was called the Black Sage, so he knew how to seal one’s Divine power .
He managed to find the solution in a battle .
When priests who considered him to be evil just because they assumed that Saymon had sold his soul to the demons and was nothing much than trash, it was then that Saymon had placed a flame magic stigma on their bodies .
“If I am a henchman of demons and you are a follower of God, then who sells God and squeeze the blood out of the people who believe in that God of yours?!”
With such emotions, a huge amount of power rose in his body .
Those priests, who were branded by Luke, failed to release their Divine power .
In the case of high ranking priests, it wasn’t that effective, yet their divine power would be reduced significantly, and the power would never restore to its original amount until the stigma got removed .
And after that, most priests took considerable precautions to avoid getting branded by Saymon .
‘Thanks to that stigma, I knew that there was a ‘taboo’ that the priests would always resort to . I was too busy fighting at that time that I didn’t figure out how it worked . ’

There was something about the taboo and Divine power .
However, once he realized that the corrupt priests could handle Divine power, Luke knew that Divine power had nothing to do with faith .
In addition, during his time as Saymon, Luke wasn’t interested in the theology of Divine power nor was he currently .
It was because only one task could be perfected, and he was already proficient in magic and sword . He didn’t want another .
Also, it was involved in the behavior of the denominations of the Rhodesia Continent .
Most of the denominations considered God to be sacred and were reluctant when it came to analyzing Divine power, so it wasn’t an easy subject to study .
‘Maybe Divine power is similar to magic . Just one stigma on one’s body and that body will be unable to exert Divine power . It’s almost similar to mana getting blocked by a sealed magic circle . ’
In addition, magic and Divine power really went hand-in-hand .
It was evident that the wizards of the Holy Arthenia Magic Tower could use both magic and Divine power .
‘Divine power, magic, and aura all originated from Aether . It shouldn’t be so shocking . Hold on, then… can I handle Divine power too?’
Reina always said that she used Aether as her Divine power .
If that was the case, Luke, who had Aether in him, also might be able to channel it .
Divine power and dark magic were contradictory powers, and he could currently convert the black circle on his heart whenever needed, so there was no need for a collision .
‘Right . Rakan’s Gold Sword alone had numerous Anti-Magi properties . It might actually be easy now that I think about it . ’
Luke once again used Black Bind on Constantine .
This time, he tried to take in all of his Divine power .

Constantine screamed out of pain as his Divine power was getting absorbed .
However, it didn’t seem that well .
‘What? It can’t be absorbed? No, it was obvious that it wouldn’t happen . ’
Black Bind was a dark magic spell .
The mana aura or the Spirit power might be able to do it . However, that would only happen when the two forces collided with Divine power .
Realizing that, Luke slumped down and looked at Constantine .
‘This doesn’t seem to work . Is there any other way?’
There were two reasons why Luke was so greedy when it came to Divine power .
The first thing was that he wanted to learn about it .
Until then, he thought that Divine power could only be used by the priests and believers of God .
So he never even thought of acquiring it .
However, it was different now .
The second was that it could be critical when fighting Arsene, who is a Lich .
Honestly, neither magic nor Magi was of any use when fighting a man who lived for over 500 years .
A Gold Sword with Anti-Magi might be useful but only to a certain extent .
To take Arsene down, he would have to hit him properly with the right power .
The only answer was Divine power, which didn’t sit well with dark magic .
‘It might be impossible for me to absorb Divine power with Black Bind… Should I ask Reina for some Aether?’
Luke, who concluded his thoughts, teleported to Bremen City, where Reina was, with a burning desire for new power .

Day of Doom
A guy wakes up in the morning. That, alone, is a traumatic experience by itself. But then the sun goes out. The guy figures that it's just some freak solar eclipse or something like that. After all, he isn't exactly a scientist. But, no; The same thing happens again the next morning. And the next. The guy must now figure out what's going on. This is my 2nd fiction, written for the [Royal Road Community Magazine] Contest, with the first being something I'd rather not show you. When I started this one(a couple hours before I wrote this synopsis), I had a fair idea of what I was doing, kind of. Cover by MRMerrigan.

The Dragon & The Demon
Orenda Nochdifache-Firefist has sucessfully overthrown the Empress Xandra and broken the empire to allow the individual colonies to return to self-rule, as well as abolished the chattle slavery that had plagued the land- earning her the title of "Orenda the Reign Ender". The Knights of Order have officially won the war in a bloody revolution, putting an end to the three centuries of warfare under Xandra's leadership. No longer must people live in fear of Xandra's puppet, The Emerald Knight. But now Orenda must face the realities of her dream- the imaginary princess has become queen. And, she has a deadly secret she must keep in the form of a teenage Urillian boy who is not what he seems. Anilla is still on a never ending quest to find her dragon; her people beleive that every memeber of their tribe is born with a soul bonded dragon that exists somewhere in the world- and Orenda's little secret claims to have seen Anilla's soul before. Could he be the key to ending her quest? This work is a direct sequel to The Crimson Mage, and will obviously contain major spoilers for that work, so it might be a better place to start (though I will warn you that the first chapter of that story may be the worst thing I've ever written. Just power through it or encorage me to put up a second draft). It can be found here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21654/the-crimson-mage/chapter/307763/chapter-1

An Invisible Girl
Not all Isekai is Human This is the story of the last survivor of her race, who is offered the option to be reborn in another world to continue the fight against the monsters that consumed her species. The new world is a horrible death world. It is filled with both beauty and horror, strange sentients of various types and perhaps the most dangerous monsters ever conceived. Humans. Two aliens. two violently opposed cultures. Is One little world big enough for both of them? First note: Please don't expect immediate action and slaughter and sex. There's a lot of conversation, drama, and interaction, as she learns about her new world. Second note: This is not 'humans as monsters'. It is more like "There are monsters, but humans can make their own". Technically I guess it qualifies as a system apocalypse, but it never really hits the apocalypse parts. Third note: This IS a Litrpg and the 'classes' provide some superhero-style action, eventually. It isn't strictly superhero, though. a lot of bits are contemporary fantasy, some are pure sci-fi, and some are superhero, depending on how people choose their new abilities. The overall theme is technically sci-fi, but soft like a baby. Fourth note: there is some sexuality (not sex) involving a protagonist in a 17-year-old body. Her mind is over 50 years old, though, and the body was created at that age in order to give her 6 months' leeway to learn to be human. This is not juvenile sex stuff, as the character is fully adult, just not adult as a Human.Plus it's mostly included for humor and alien context.

Re-Ordaining of the Chosen
Alea cheerfully hummed as she descended the steps, brimming in upbeat while her colleague, Quarren Leos, shot her a look of skepticism. “So… were you right about him?” he asked doubtfully. She came to a stop for a moment, her humming falling silent before she shook her head, waving her medium length light-blonde hair from side to side. “I was wrong about him.” Quarren raised an eyebrow in confusion at the convoluted response.“But you seem quite happy?” he asked again. “Because I am. But I was wrong about him. He was… so much more than I ever expected.” Alea looked at the sky overhead with a smile. “That boy… no, that man, is amazing. I firmly believe he will come to stand on top of any adversary he faces. He is destined. He is Chosen.” Quarren snorted as he stepped past, shaking his head. “Okay. Each to their own beliefs but you’re sounding like a nutjob. That skinny twig? Everyone calls him a cripple, you know,” he shook his head.“Rumours are always false, Leos,” Alea answered with a disapproving shake of her head. “You wouldn’t know. He is so, so much more.” “I saw him with my own two eyes. I didn’t see anything redeeming,” Quarren rebutted. “Well…” Alea chuckled. “You haven’t seen what I’ve seen.” In the year 917 of the Imperial Calendar, the Great War had just ended between dozens of nations. Farrien welcomed home millions of troops and warriors with the Archdukes of Aerianne and Kanaria leading them at the forefront. Since the founding of Farrien, the Aerianne and Kanarian Archduchies have been pillars upholding the Kingdom from enemies. It was common belief that they possessed special blood blessed by the Goddess Stecia, who gifted the lineage to the first King of Farrien when he first founded the country. All were ecstatic when the current generation of the two Archduchy's, after the war, agreed to let their children wed. The excitement was short-lived however when the Aerianne Princess proved to be a dragoness among men but the Kanarian Prince was worse than even mediocre. The Prince disappeared and the wedding was shortly forgotten as society lived on. Until one day the Young Heir of Kanaria returned to Farrien a changed man, bringing demise with him. Follow the story of the Chosen ordained by the Goddess of Time as he returns to the past to right his wrongs and set things back straight again! Many thanks to xSTAYc for the cover design and various co-creative elements in the conscription phase! :p
