The Adventures Of The Young Master Chapter 563
Advertisement
Jin Rou passed through different dimensions by a single step and after a minute or so, he arrived at his destination. It was a mountain peak far away from Jin Rou's origin. If one would look it normally, the peak was nothing but a sort of ordinary. However, if you could feel the inner energy of the place, you could see how great this mountain peak was.
Anyway, that was not the point why Jin Rou was here.
"Show yourself. I know you have been watching for so long now." Jin Rou spoke as if he was talking to the wind, "Let's save the trouble of messing around. I know where to find you, exactly."
It was silence for a moment before the space cracked and revealed a beautiful entity that could shy all of the living beings. Even though she was part of the demon race, it couldn't hide her beauty that toppled the whole realm.
Jin Rou observed her from head to toe, but there was no trace of expression in his eyes. Only cold eyes as if he was looking at an enemy.
"Fret not, I am not your enemy." The beautify voice of the demon suddenly reverberated in the entire mountain peak, "I know that I cannot be a match against you, so I won't do anything funny."
If a demon could hear this, he would probably be stumped. This existence was one of the most important figures of Great Hell. One step was equal to a thousand steps to her. Not just that, she was also a powerful being that only a few could contend against.
"If you aren't my enemy, why have you been watching me?" Jin Rou asked, "You even tried to pierce through my fog to discover mysteries, and you're telling me you aren't an enemy?"

The other party was surprised and laughed. She showed great elegance even when laughing and said, "First, let me introduce myself. I am called Demon Queen Tharis Insignia. I am one of the Insignia Royal Family of Great Hell."
Jin Rou showed a bit of surprise. He never heard about a royal family here in Great Hell. Nevertheless, he knew that the other party wasn't bluffing or anything. After all, he could detect whether a person was lying or not.
"For sure, you may have not been informed that there is a Royal Family here." Demon Queen Tharis could understand his expression and said, "It's okay. The Great Demons Camp has been suppressing us for so long now, so it's natural not to know us."
She paused for a moment and continued, "Generally, Insignia should be the ones leading and dictating the Great Hell. We have been doing it generations after generations and this realm had done well during our dictatorship. However, it ended when the Great Demons, under the leadership of Baal, overthrew our reign."
"A coup d'etat?" Jin Rou asked.
"Yes." Demon Queen Tharis sighed, "Baal has been eyeing for the throne for so long now. It's just that he still had not enough resources in the past. But it was different when he jad overthrown our Royal Family."
"If you use a royal decree and suppressed Baal from the start, this wouldn't have happened." Jin Rou stated.
Indeed, if the royal family kept Great Demon Baal in check a long time ago, things must not have gone awry like this. After all, the great demon had yet to fully have the resources he needed for the coup. It would be easy as eating to suppress him even if he was the strongest being here.

"If we did that, Baal will be weakened and the moral of the great demons will decrease drastically. They treat Baal as their one true leader and he is irreplaceable. If we did that to him, we might have faced a full retaliation of the great demons. We are no match against them, even I am not capable of contending against all of them." Demon Queen Tharis smiled wryly. She was remembering some bitter pasts and said.
"But still, it happened." Jin Rou said, "One way or another, they will retaliate. It was only a matter of time. Your poor decision made it into this way."
Jin Rou didn't sugarcoat any words and said, "Your royal family must be a bunch of incompetent beings that even a great demon could overthrow you."
The Royal Family should have been the one dictating the great demons as they were branded as tools for the war. However, it wasn't what's happening right now. Instead, the royal family was in the leash.
The queen didn't comment on this. But her silence was already understood.
Jin Rou knew that scolding the demon queen wouldn't do anything good and it'd just bea waste of time. He then spoke again, "I now understand why you are. You want my help regarding stopping, suppressing, or killing Baal right?"
The demon queen hesitated for a moment before saying, "No need to kill him. We still need him here. He is irreplaceable, even for us. You just need to seal his power for the meantime so that we can tame him."
Jin Rou sneered inside and thought that taming that great demon would be another big risk and it was idiotic. But, he didn't care about their personal matters and said, "Okay, so what will I get in return? Surely, you don't think I will do a favor for you for free?"
"Yes, I am fully aware." Demon Queen Tharis said. She didn't know why but she could feel a great pressure every time she look at Jin Rou, "I have a vital information that might help you. It is regarding a person from an unknown Treasure Clan."
Jin Rou's eyes suddenly had a flash of fierceness and the temperature got cold, "You have researched very well."
Jin Rou didn't even say to anyone about a person of a Treasure Clan to anyone here. Yet, this queen could deduce it like this. Her wits must be very terrifying. Anyway, since it's an information that might be regarding Schwal Coffin, he'd hear it out.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Domhain: A Modern Fantasy LitRPG
(Blurb) When Ardan, a teenage elf boy, is thrown into the world- his world, of distrust and tension, he wants only one thing. To live a normal life, get a job, make friends, even start a family. But either dumb luck or fate won't leave him alone. With the power of a game system and magic, he's determined to find out the reason he was picked, and what makes him special. Along the way, hopefully meeting new friends and learning some magic here and there. (Synopsis) Domhain - a world split between five nations and five unique magical gifts; home of elves, dwarves, goblins, trolls, and humans, each of them so different but in reality more alike than anyone would like to acknowledge. Twenty years ago, the humans, weakest of the five, secretly acquired powerful magic and set out for war. The united forces of the other nations stood no chance. Humanity prevailed, proving itself as the new leader of the modern world. Now, Domhain is at peace but tensions are rising again. The humans want more than their territory back. They want it all. And they want revenge. But this time, the elves hide a dark power, and will stop at nothing to wipe the humans off Domhain forever. War is inevitable. Thousands will die. And the power to stop it all falls into the hands of none other than a particularly tall fifteen-year-old elf orphan. Ever since he could remember, Ardan lived a normal, sheltered, life in an elven orphanage. On the day he's finally able to leave for good and start his independent life, something strange occurs. He is given a pill, a gift, that turns his life into a game with levels, quests, dungeons, and a... talking weapon? All of which are capable of transforming his body and the world around him. As if that weren’t enough, Ardan learns the orphanage has hidden natural magic from him, and the whole world is intertwined with it. More importantly, he, as an elf, has a particularly unique and powerful heritage. That heritage, along with the benefits of his new power makes him a target for the greed of many... With nothing but his friends and a incredibly smart sister, he is determined to find out what makes him so special. Who can he trust?

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
