How To Raise Your Regressor Chapter 19
Advertisement
From the other end of the darkness (all the chandeliers had been destroyed after all) came out the figure of a woman.
Garbed in regal robes, even the absence of a crown didn't make me think that the one in front of me was not a King.
Her hair, the silver of the night moon shining in night sky, fluttered as she made her way towards us.
Each of her steps held a majesty befitting a ruler, while her smile bore the confidence of a tyrant.
Her crimson eyes pierced through the darkness to behold our figures, and a gorgeous sword hung at her waist.
However, no matter how much of a human she looked, the two black horns adorning her silver hair were a testament that she was anything but that.
"Chaobris…" Azell muttered under his breath.
Now what? Another figure from his previous turn? What is this, a Regression Reunion?
"Oh? You know me? This should make it easier then." Chaobris stared at us. "Leave as quietly and quickly as possible. I'm sure I don't need to remind you of the consequences if you don't."
"Fine, we'll take the Shadowlord and-"
"Uh, uh, uh." She shook her index finger. "The Shadowlord stays behind."
"…With all due respect, we cannot leave without the Shadowlord." Azell remained courteous.
Which meant that he either respected this woman or didn't want to anger her at this point because she was much stronger.
"Oh my, that is a problem." Chaobris cupped her chin. "You see, I came here from a long way just for the Shadowlord. Going back without her would be a huge waste of my time. So why don't you give me some face and just leave?" She smiled sweetly.
"I'm sorry, but we cannot."
"Hmm… this is troublesome." She rubbed her chin for some moments and then suddenly released an aura full of bloodlust.
"Guh!" Noelle groaned.
The surging aura was full of her desire to kill, was creepy and seemed like it was directly affecting our souls.
For a moment, it seemed that she was the origin of the darkness surrounding us.

My vision swayed as the former throne room trembled due the sheer bloodlust that was gushing out of her.
"Well, how about now?" She smiled, but this time it didn't reach her manic eyes.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Okay, first of all, let me get this straight.
She dares to threaten me, the First Being?
A mere foetus has the audacity to stand against the one who made her very existence possible?
Does she think that just because my body is battered right now, I can't do anything?
This piece of shit motherfucker.
"Now look here- hmm?" But before I could give her a piece of my mind, our eyes met and I was forced to stop.
"Huh?"
So she felt it as well, huh.
"Who… are you?"
"I'd like to ask you the same, Ms. Chaobris."
She scowled in return, perhaps pondering over what we felt.
We detected a certain resonance between us. No, to be more precise, we felt a resonance between our very souls, as if they were… similar.
Which is impossible, because in this Universe, no one but me has the 'right' to be eternal.
But I did feel our souls resonate with each other, so there must be a connection between us, a connection I'm not aware of.
This is the first time this has happened.
"Aahhhh." Chaobris hit her palm with her fist and then smiled. "I see, I did hear about you."
The fuck is this woman talking about?
She heard about me? In what sense? And whom did she hear it from?
More importantly, she seems to know how we're related (just don't tell me that she's my illegitimate child or something).
"I see." I replied passively to show that I knew what she was talking about.
I have no fucking clue though.
"To think that I'd meet you here. The Universe really is small."
Ex-fucking-cuse me? The Universe is small?
She just insulted me in a way I never expected.
"Or maybe it was just fate."
Noelle and Azell remained quiet to avoid antagonising her but did give me looks of 'What the hell are you doing?'

"Fate, eh?" Her lips curled up into a smile. "Tell me. What do you plan to do with the Shadowlord?"
"I'm going to raise her."
"Hoh?" She raised her eyebrow. "Hehe, for what?"
"For some very, hehehehe, interesting stuff." I employed my superb acting skills to give her a menacing expression with a hint of madness hidden behind my eyes.
Surprisingly, it seemed to have worked.
"I see." She smirked. "I'll be leaving her in your care, then."
Hmm, so she knew that the Shadowlord is a female.
"Thank you."
"That aside, are you alright?"
She looked at my bleeding arms.
"I have been better."
"Would you like me to help you?"
"You will?"
"Nope."
And people say that I'm the asshole. Wow.
"Figured."
"Heh, you seem to know me well."
Well, I would have done the same. There is a reason people called me an asshole.
"It'd be hard to not know someone of your stature."
By which I mean I've never heard of the name Chaobris in my entire life.
Who the fuck names their child that, anyway? Like bruh, how much hatred do you need to have for your child to name her something like that?
"Fair enough." She giggled. "It's a shame, but I'll be taking my leave. Don't worry though; I'll pay you a visit sometime soon."
Please don't.
"I shall be looking forward to that."
Alright, time to find out how late is too late to abort a baby. Our experiment subject would be the one and only, Ms. Chaobris.
"You better be."
Wut?
She glanced at the expressionless Azell and shivering Noelle, and turned around. The next moment, her figure vanished.
"Haaaaaaahhhhh." I released the breath I had been holding- hmm?
Oh wow. Seems like my shit body was actually scared of her.
"Who was that, Samur?" Noelle asked.
"I have no idea." I shrugged.
"Eh? But weren't you two talking right now?"
"I used an advanced technique called 'lying'." I smiled. "Rather, it should be Azell who knows her."
He was the one who muttered her name after all.
"I do, but I'll tell you later." He put his sword back. "Treating you comes first."
"Oh, right."
I forgot that I was still riding a supersonic train heading towards my death.
It's so easy to forget about your injuries, especially when your will to live is lower than these two's standards for inviting a child into their Guild.
"Did you really forget?" Azell frowned.
"What? Pfft, no, not at all."
"…"
"Hey look, the clock is ticking. You want to save me, right?"
"We really need to have a serious discussion."
Hot damn, I thought my desire to live was already at rock bottom but this guy just took a shovel and dug even deeper. Wao.
I seriously hope I do not survive this.
"Get on my back. Noelle, strap him." Azell instructed after sitting down.
I did as I was told (hoping that I'd die of shame) and Noelle strapped me on his back.
"Wait, what about the Shadowlord?"
Are we really going to leave without her?
"I'll come back for her later. Saving your life is more important."
Wow, I'm touched.
"Is it really alright to just leave her like that?"
What if some dodgy wanker discovered and decided to use her for some not so wholesome purposes?
"No one can touch her without the medallion."
Ah, yes, that worked out perfectly before, didn't it? I've never seen such baseless confidence since the time a noob decided to challenge me on a game I'd spent 16000 hours on.
Azell stood up while handling my weight like a champion and dashed towards the entrance to this former throne room, with Noelle closely following behind us.
Our journey through the rest of the dungeon was once again uneventful.
However, the same could not be said for when we finally exited the dungeon.
"Put that monster down, and step back." Said the guy wearing plate armour and pointing his sword at us.
Well, well, well, if it isn't the guys who abandoned me in this forest.

8 146The Supervillain Tries Playing Games to Relax
After yet another hard day of work, William Ainsworth, a National-Level Villain and the CEO of Hound Corporation is surprised with a birthday gift from his head scientist. The gift turns out to be a VR-headset, and after some convincing, William decides to try it, joining a fantasy-styled VRMMORPG alongside thousands of other players. In this new world where he suddenly isn't feared, he finds unlikely friends and allies, including such characters as Tin, a popular girl hiding her nerdier tendencies, Track, a NEET hidden away for the good of the world, George, a military field doctor trying to learn combat and Chrys, a Superhero in-training trying to learn how to fight. At first, William wouldn't consider these oddballs to be any important to him, but after being stuck with them for long enough, they might just let him melt his icy exterior. ------- -In a world where Superheroes and Villains have existed for only a few meagre generations, this story will focus on how a stoic supervillain comes to befriend people when he hasn't ever been allowed to get close to anyone. Imagine it like a sort of Boku no Hero Academia where the big bad villain is playing the same game as the kids, which happens to be a similar game to Legendary Moonlight Sculptor. The story will take place in both the real world and the game and these plots will interact and intersect. Characters will be fleshed out as the story goes along. Enjoy!
8 237The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
