《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey
Advertisement
After buying some standard clothes in the Glerian Kingdom, Azaroth and his retainers began to walk around in the city.
They were observing the city while splitting up and talking to some people.
Azaroth knew that he couldn't count on the information he had from the Sinyalian Kingdom. Each of them talked to the people around and extracted information in their own way.
During the evening time, they all gathered in a pub. They were now sharing their information with each other.
Noah spoke first, "I met a few people and they said that we are in a city named Warrington. I ask them how can I join the army and they told me that I need to pass the test held by a general. However, there are rumors that the king wants to create a new generation of generals and thus, there will be a tournament named 'The Heavenly Dragon Battlefield Tournament' where all the talented warriors under the age of 20 will fight. The one who will win will be given precious herbs and allowed to cultivate in the outer area of the Royal Palace. He will even be assigned the rank of a captain."
Sargan spoke, "This Kingdom seems to be completely under the control of the King. There are Noble Families here but it seems that the overseers assigned by the King hold more power than the Noble Houses. However, this Kingdom's affluence is much inferior to the Sinyalian Kingdom. Unlike the Sinyalian Kingdom that has many public and private associations, such isn't the case in the Glerian Kingdom as all of them are under the king."
"However, unlike the Sinyalian Kingdom that places equal focus on Diplomacy, Music, Arrays, Martial Academies, Smithy, and Alchemy. This Kingdom focuses on the Sects, Beast Hunting and Alchemy."
Yrellea continued ahead of Sargan, "All these societies are directly under the King. Among the Sects, the most reputed is the Red Crown Sect. The other sects are Origin Sect, Black Lake Sect, Night Mountain Sect, and so on."

"As for the Beast Hunting, there is only a single association that has its branches spread all over the Glerian Kingdom. It's named Dragon Tiger Palace. And its members are known as Beast Slayer Corps."
"Just like the Beast Hunting Association, there is a single Alchemy association known as the Alchemy Union." Yrellea finished soon enough.
It was Tiana who spoke up next, "I gathered that there are not many issues in buying the property within the Glerian Kingdom. There is rarely any inspection as long as you have money."
Ralph added, "The Beast Hunting Association has one of their branches in this city. It's said that they form parties with other warriors and go into the forests to hunt the beasts. The warrior has to pay nearly 100 Spirit Coins to register and will receive a Silver Badge. As the warrior hunts more beasts, their rank will be upgraded. The Purple Badge Holders are the leaders of this organization. They are the ones in contact with the King."
The only one among Azaroth's retainers who remained silent was Laura. She hadn't gathered a lot of useful information. Most of what she had gathered had already been mentioned by others.
Azaroth didn't blame her though. She clearly wasn't talented in this field and he wasn't going to force her to do it.
He cleared his throat and began speaking. It was his turn to share the information, "From what I found out, other than the Sinyalian Kingdom, the Glerian Kingdom also has bad relations with the Lamhilion Theocracy. However, they are trying to mend their relationship in the past few months. There is also a rumor that the mines in the Glerian Kingdom had already been exhausted of their ores. According to the estimates of the experts, it would take a decade for these ores to form naturally. This is one of the reasons why the Glerian Kingdom's attacks on the Sinyalian Kingdom had decreased."

Yrellea curiously asked Azaroth, "How did you find this information, Master? I don't think an average citizen would know of it. And there is an even lesser chance he would tell it to a stranger."
Azaroth smiled in return but didn't answer her.
In reality, Azaroth sensed the aura of a 3 Star Warrior who was keeping an eye on them since they had left the clothing store.
Azaroth captured him and forcefully extracted everything he knew and killed him. He knew that this man's death was going to be investigated. But it would just be a formal investigation. In truth, the guards here wouldn't care a lot as long as this man didn't have a special identity. They would soon list it in their file and forget about it. Sooner or later, this warrior would be replaced.
If this guy had a special identity, his background would investigate the scene, so there was no need for the guards to trouble themselves too much.
And it seemed that this warrior Azaroth had killed and extracted information from was completely ordinary. So a special investigation shouldn't follow up after this.
Azaroth soon began speaking seriously, "Sargan, you will split up from me. You are going to roam the entire Glerian Kingdom and plant your men in as many locations as possible. Plant them among the merchants, generals, soldiers, sects, in the kingdom's administrative people and if possible then within some Noble Houses as well."
He then turned towards Yrellea, "You have mastered the third level of the Heavenly Poison Scripture, Yrellea, and you can defend yourself against fighters of your caliber. I'll provide you with sufficient resources. You must use them to construct a huge structure and make it a base for the Misty Flower Pavilion. Hire a couple of courtesans and teach them certain massage and cultivating methods, as well as the Hazy Awareness Technique. People's minds will be relaxed as a result of this method, and you will be able to acquire information more effectively. Furthermore, people who are subjected to this method without prior preparation will forget everything."
Yrellea's eyes widened slightly as she heard Azaroth. She muttered underneath her breath, "Will I need to actively seduce people to gather information from them?" She clearly didn't look happy at the thought.
Azaroth suddenly placed his hand on her chin and raised her face. He looked into her eyes and spoke, "I told you to teach them, not join them. You will be the leader of the Misty Flower Pavilion. You need to maintain a certain amount of prestige around you, meaning, you cannot personally involve yourself in these practices. If anything occurs then inform me immediately. I will deal with the issue."
Azaroth's words greatly relieved Yrellea. She then spoke with a determined expression, "I won't disappoint you, master."
"I know," Azaroth spoke before he recalled his hand back.
He then spoke ahead with a calm expression, "As for the rest, they will join me as I would need to supervise them for some time."
Laura's eyes twinkled with excitement as she heard that she would be together with Azaroth. Tiana showed a faint smile as well.
Yrellea glanced at Laura with a slightly envious look. She was jealous of her friend but she didn't plan to complain to Azaroth.
She knew he had assigned her an important task. She had to stand up to his expectations.
Sargan was thinking deeply about something. He asked Azaroth soon enough, "What is the name of this organization we are creating?"
"Our organization will be known as 'The League of Hell'."
Thus… Today was the day the League of Hell was officially created!

Displaced
Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats. Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality. Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways. But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests. A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible. Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level. Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves. This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand. This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence. This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia. But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever... I marked the story as having Gore, Sexual Content, and Traumatising content because it does contain a bit of all three, though not what I believe is a significant amount. Just wanted to be safe. It does contain a whole lot of profanity, though. That one is very much deserved. I post one chapter ahead on Patreon here, you can get it for a dollar: https://www.patreon.com/IrateRapScallion My Discord server for discussing the story and whatever else: https://discord.gg/uycZBbv Please vote for my story on Top Web Fiction by clicking here: http://topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=displaced Thanks!

My Second Life is an Absurdist Power Fantasy?!
"Hey, great news, kid... you're dead!" With these words, Jack Eames, unrepentant slacker, found himself staring down God, and was offered a choice- An eternal life of never-ending bliss and relaxation, OR the chance to start over as a powerful hero, fighting to defeat monsters, rescue maidens, and save this new world from another player - a villain who has been given the exact same advantages he has. ...And a couple weeks head start. The ultimate prize? The winner of the contest gets to become God of this new fantasy world, and reshape it however they can possibly imagine! The downside? Whichever one of them loses ceases to exist! For Jack, a clueless, fantasy-obsessed shut-in, picking option number two wasn't hard. Learning that being a hero takes much more than pressing buttons on a controller, and that a real fantasy world is far more dangerous than the ones in stories he loves.... well, that's something else entirely!

Medley of Fates Worse than Death
Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia. Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you? This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!About the chapters: I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :) I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance): www.patreon.com/rija Extra info (Might get spoilery): As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure. (Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.)
