Heavenly Monarch Chapter 4
Advertisement
Hmm, since it's not that different from a video game, leveling up will be easier. After adjusting my state of mind I decided to look for the steps leading out of the mountain, but before I could continue with my journey I felt the energy inside me surging. Not knowing what if I am going to self-destruct I asked the system for information.
" System what is happening to my body".
*Ding*
" Host is gathering more energy from he's surrounding due to the increase in his cultivation level"
"So the more I level up the more I will experience this"
*Ding*
" The more the host experience a breakthrough the more he will be able to feel the energy flowing around him and with each breakthrough the host also experiences an increase in his strength.
If you say so, then I won't bother myself with it. After understanding the state of my body and know that it will bring me no harm I started searching for the path that will lead me down the mountain and truly my movement became swift the more I walked, and it seems like my senses became sharper to the extent that I could hear the sound of footsteps coming from the mountain, though I could not point out where they are coming from, I knew it from the undead creatures.
With my grip on to my sword tightly, I made my way down the mountain only to come across another beast but the beast this time seems different from the bull I fought, having the body of a human, goat head, and the legs of a horse while holding a shield and a blade.

Nice, time for me to have a little training here in the mountain while finding my way out. Seeing the beast getting prepared to charge I quickly ran towards it to initiate the first strike to gain the upper hand only to see the beast swinging its blade to meet my blade head-on without backing out.
After exchanging three moves with the beast I knew this one is faster and stronger than the previous one and seem to have intelligence in combat, fighting its head-on will not give me the advantage over it unless I keep on attacking it from different angles and if his reaction is slow when defending itself from different angles. Taking a step back to create space between us before rushing to the beast but this time, I turn to its side to deliver a slash, and it connected leaving the beast with a big wound.
It's very slow in defending itself from its side, giving me the advantage. Taking another step forward, I sent out another slash only to later dusk and deliver a slash at its legs before rolling to the side to deliver a stab at its stomach leaving it open with rotten intestines coming out mixed with black blood.
After delivering many attacks to the beast its aura became weaker, and its breathing became intense, and its eyes started glowing red which signifies the activation of its skill. Knowing my attack could no longer cause any damage to the beast, I started running around to create distance between us until it will run on cooldown but dodging its attack was not easy.
After distancing myself from the beast, it keeps on chasing after me while unleashing attack upon attack, and I could barely dodge them all leading to my health running low but at long last its time on being in the rage state was up leaving it vulnerable to all attack, taking my time to attack and create a fatal blow to the beast I slayed it after wearing it down for 5mins.

Hmm, nice move, with this move leaving the mountain will become easy for me. After observing my stats I place my free in dexterity granting me more speed.
After closing my stats and was preparing to continue my journey I suddenly received a notification from the system.
*Ding*
Savage fighter beast core has been obtained
Savage fighter torso has been obtained.
What the hell is wrong with this system, obtaining beast core and torso what am I supposed to do"eat them or what".
*Ding*
"Eating the core and torso of the beast will lead to energy assault within the host body leading to self-destruct and beside it a waste to consume them for they can be used to make equipment or sold out".
After searching for steps leading out of the mountain, I discovered the day is getting dark indicating it almost night. Making haste I made my way down the mountain so far so good I have not come across any undead creatures which is good since I don't want to spend my night here in the mountain.
Unfortunately, my wish never came through for the whole of the mountain became dark, and I started feeling an intense aura coming my way, bracing myself for incoming battle only to lose the will to fight after seeing what is heading my way.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
