The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 323

Helios was surprised when he saw the beautiful lotus building from afar. If it wasn't for the metal fences around it, he would have believed that this was a high-level spiritual plant.
The lotus building looked like a blooming flower with its incredibly alluring set of petals. Helios could even smell a tantalizing scent lingering in the air as he approached the gates of the building.
"Hey! Tell me what kind of people are inside that building!" Helios said to the soldier leading them. He could not help but remain careful after witnessing the enchanting lotus building. From what he could remember, there wasn't such a building yesterday, so how could it have suddenly appeared here?
The soldier's expression darkened as he recounted their first visit to this lotus building. "Commander Helios, we were just looking for the Demon Lord around this area and we suddenly noticed this place. We were curious about it since it is the first time we've seen it here, so we went inside the gate after seeing that it's open."
The soldier had a look of awe as he continued. "After stepping inside, we saw numerous high-level spiritual plants around the lotus building and I even saw the very previous Blood Revitalizing Ginseng!"
Hearing that there was a Blood Revitalizing Ginseng inside the lotus building, Helios' eyes lit up. It was a valuable spiritual plant that could enhance one's vitality and physical body. If he consumes it, he would be more confident about his tribulation lightning.
"Aside from the Blood Revitalizing Ginseng, there was also a crystal-clear pond in front of the lotus building, and living inside this pond are a few beautiful fishes. From how they look, they seem to be of high value." The soldier said with a flushed look.

Hearing that, Helios also became excited.
"Just as we were about to pluck a few spiritual plants, we suddenly discovered Demon Lord Burlock inside the lotus building, so we immediately dashed towards him. However, just as we were about to go inside the building, two ladies block the entrance. One of them...she... she pummeled all of us and threw us out of the gates..." The soldier was embarrassed as he said that. As soldiers of Demon Lord Burlock, they were actually beaten up by a little girl who looked no older than twenty. If news about it leaks out, they would surely become a laughingstock in the whole Morlon City.
After hearing his subordinates' words, Helios frowned. "You were beaten up by a little girl? All of you? Preposterous! You shame the name of Demon Lord Burlock! Scram!" Helios shouted as he kicked the soldier's behind, sending him flying into the air.
Helios walked with large strides as he shouted loudly. "Lord Burlock, Helios is here to save!"
The gate was open, so Helios was able to go in without a problem.
"This..." His mouth went agape as he stared at the spiritual plants around him. He could not begin to imagine the value of all the spiritual plants he was seeing. Even Demon Lord Burlock whom he was serving did not have this many spiritual plants in his possession. And from how these precious plants were carelessly planted outside the lotus building, Helios was wondering what kind of person the owner would be. Does he not know the value of these things?
"Helios!" An anxious call drifted behind his ears. He was familiar with this voice, so he immediately turned his gaze towards the owner of the voice. Of course, it was none other than the Demon Lord, Burlock.

"My Lord!" Helios bowed his head as he greeted the man. He then stared at his lord from head to foot and checked whether he was injured or not. And when he discovered that he was in perfect condition, Helios heaved a huge sigh of relief as he said worriedly.
"My Lord, did someone kidnap you? Why did you suddenly disappear last night? Everyone was looking for you."
Burlock felt warm in his heart when he saw the anxious look of Helios. He was happy that he has such a loyal subordinate.
Just then, an angry voice suddenly interrupted the conversation of the two demons.
"Who is so noisy outside?! Scram or I'll break your bones!"
Hearing the arrogant voice, Helios' face darkened and he turned his gaze to the door of the lotus building. He saw two girls who looked to be in their late teens and from their appearance, they looked similar to humans, but when he saw the fish scales on some parts of their bodies, Helios was certain that these girls were of a different race.
"Who do you think you are to utter such bold words in the presence of Demon Lord Burlock?! You want to break my bones? With your pair of scrawny arms? Are you making me laugh, little girl?!" Helios glared at Meimei as he glanced at her disdainfully. He also exerted the aura of a peak stage 9th-rank Saint with the intent of scaring the insolent green-haired little girl.
"This... Helios..." Burlock's face fell after witnessing the drastic change of events. He wanted to say something, but Helios courageously walked in front of Meimei as he displayed his full strength. A broad grin can be seen on his face as he stared at the two girls.
"That... This young lady..." Burlock tried to appease the situation, but before he could say anything, a loud peal of laughter suddenly erupted.
"Hahaha! Xiaoxiao, is this guy trying to make us laugh? He is so funny! Look at his face. He looks like the cow I saw last night when I sneaked out of the building. Hahaha!" The green-haired Meimei laughed loudly as he pointed at Helios' nose.
Xiaoxiao who was standing beside her chuckled as she watched the scene with interest. A look of anticipation flashed in her pair of hazel eyes.
"You! What did you say?! Say it again if you dare!" Helios' face darkened when he heard Meimei's insulting words. She was actually comparing him to a cow? Since when did he experience this kind of shame?
Meimei glanced at him in disdain as she uttered word by word. " I. Said. You. Look. Like. A. Cow."
Burlock who was looking from behind had the urge to smack Helios. He actually dared to mess with this lass...

8 195World War Academy [DROPPED]
EDIT: Hello, as you can tell this story is dropped. reason why this is the case is that I really didn't know where I was going to take this story and really, I wasn't satisfied with how I was writing here. However I am currently writing a completely new story and with it is that I am taking some aspects from here and using the ideas on my new story. New characters, new ideas, new plot, everything is completely new. So I hope that goes well and i'll leave this story up as reference for me in the future. Thank you Akani Kizuato. An 18 year old that recently started to live on his own to get away from life. With his sister and father dead from the wars as they fought in, he tried to continue life and tried not to let it get in his way. It may seem that way but with his whole life planned out, it may not seem to be. He had been rejected from all universities within the nation despite being top of his class, which is very unusual because even local colleges rejected him. It was as if he was banned to go to any of those places but uknowingly why. As he ranted, and relieved stress on the school rooftop, he had received an email from an anonymous source saying that he was accepted into some academy, which he had never heard of before. With events that lead up to his mysterious encounter with people who are there to take him, it may be quite a ride. Cover art made in Adobe Spark.

Disclaimer: I do not own the cover photo and if you are the one who owns it and do not want me to use it, pm me and I'll remove it. Also this is my first novel, I wanna put all the ideas in my head into an actual story so I thought I'd give it a go, constructive criticism is welcome as long as it's helpful. P.s I'm not doing a prologue mainly because all you need to know about how he died is in the Synopsis, I might do a chapter with the council of God's if people want it.
8 67Ode to Freud
For those who do not understand the reference, "wish fulfillment" is before anything a term created by Sigmund Freud in the 1900's. In psychology it is a state of satisfying unconscious needs and desires by the use of fantasy and delusion. In literature it is the very base of fictional work, but also the name of a style of writing where the author sacrifices the key elements of good storytelling in order to fulfill his own psychopathic, neurotic or perverse needs and desires, usually through the use of the characters in weird and forced situations. What I meant by the title of this story is that it is a trashy, badly written, shitty story about me getting some wish fulfillment by the use of some characters and a fictional world of my creation. Not the good kind of fulfillment, since my wishes are of the bad kind and I intend to fulfill those, not yours. Also, being a total amateur and not writing a proper plot before starting are two big indicators that this story is going to go bad. I guess Royal Road call this kind of stories the "Mary Sue" kind. So, unless you are a very ugly piece of trash (at least as much as I am) don’t bother reading it. Now, if you ARE messed up on the level of a clinically depressive, lightly suicidal, lolicon/shotacon aligned morbidly obese hikikomori vermin who sold his virginity to a prostitute and is currently living at the costs of his widowed mother after expending all the money he got from his father’s inheritance, all the while masturbating furiously to beast/furry dickgirl hentai, then be welcomed. Please feel free to get a serving at my antidepressants and also at the canned tuna I have stored in the fridge. There may be some cheese somewhere, and I am pretty sure I bought some juice the other day, but I have no idea where it is. Anyway. You may dislike what I write because of all the amauteur(ish) writing, or you may not. Who knows. Give it a try and write a comment. It gets lonely writing to no one. Also, feel free to grant me inspiration not only by making comments about the world and/or characters, but specially by suggesting a music for me to listen while I write the next chapter. Be warned : I do get influenced easily by the background music I listen while writing. If you exist, of course. I'm seriously doubting anyone has read anything after the "lolicon hikikomori" thing. Also, I have a tiny dick.Just so you can feel better about yourself a little more. Or maybe I have just degraded psychologically a little more and now I am into shame-play. I wonder if the psychiatrist would increase my meds a bit if I told her about it.Hope I never get to penispanick, though! Self-mutilation, especially of the castration type, would be baaaad. After all, I do like my prostitutes. And having sex with them when I can afford it. Oh, yeah, the story. I will just write the first chapter in a few moments.Until later, b(i)each.
