《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 196: Mythical Affinity (1)
Advertisement
"Who's next?" Arnold roared inside his domain. Bad-breath, Marshal, Duke, and even Asterios were collapsed next to him. The beatdown was unintentional but the aftermath was something everyone had expected to see.
It wasn't as if Arnold was unaffected by participating in the fight club. He had been punched and kicked a few times by his summons but that was the extent of it. Mostly he was suffering from exhaustion after fighting so many of his summons one after the other. He was panting like never before, especially after fighting with Asterios.
Initially, he fought Bad-Breath without his gears. His bare hands were enough to handle him, but as the opponents got stronger Arnold decided it would be wise to battle once he had his equipment on. The fight with Bad-Breath was exciting but was over once Arnold suplexed him into oblivion. For Bad-Breath, the fight was over but after watching Bad-Breath fight with his master. The others were inspired to fight as well. Dread, however, refused to raise his sword against his master and stood far away, watching his fellow summons get their ass handed to them by their master.
Once Bad-Breath had given up, Duke charged at Arnold. To Arnold's surprise, he had brought his scythe with him and began using it to attack him. Arnold thought Duke was going out of the line but hell he was enjoying it all. The thrill had consumed his head. Worries about Nicole were long forgotten now and the only thing going through his mind was to defeat his opponent.
Despite using the scythe, Duke wasn't able to put a scratch on Arnold. So he decided to take it a step further and transform into the [Undead Reaper], mid-battle. Maybe it was Duke's way to wage a psychological battle with Arnold as the reaper was the first dungeon boss who nearly killed him.

When Arnold saw the reaper in front of him, he went... Silent. Duke thought his plan worked and once again charged at Arnold, but as he got nearer to his master, Duke realised something.
Arnold was affected by the reaper alright, but not in the way Duke had expected. Instead of being tensed after seeing the reaper, Arnold was smiling like he had won a million dollars from a lottery!
"Boy, have I been dying to have this rematch! I'll finally get to kick your ass."
Those were the first words that escape from his mouth. At that moment, Arnold was no longer fighting with Duke but with the Reaper. However, Duke wasn't alone.
___
Passive sync skill: [Circle of Death] activated!
All attributes of the undead units have been increased by 15%.
___
The sync skill of the undead had activated and enhanced the attributes of his summons. But a 15% increase in attributes was nothing in Arnold's eyes. Had he wanted, he could've easily increased his strength by 150%. But he didn't, because he wanted to fight his summons using his own strength and a few gears. He wanted to whoop the reaper's a*s and boy, a*swhopping he did.
Arnold wasn't serious in the fights which followed afterwards. Marshal was pretty easy to deal with but Arnold accidentally touched his sword and well... Let's just say Marshal won't have a sword for a while. Arnold promised to make him one once the workshop was up and running, that managed to calm Marshal down a bit.
The only one he went all out against was, Asterios and Asterios did the same with him. Arnold didn't use the Vindicator but he did use both his [Enhanced Phoenix cloak] and [Vritra's Wrath] to even the grounds a bit.

Still, the battle was even more intense than earlier battles. But in the end, Arnold managed to overwhelm the Minotaur and deal a decisive blow on the Minotaur's head. After watching this fight, no one dared to fight him anymore. No one but...
"Ohh... Is it my turn now?" Natasha happily squeaked and rushed towards him. Her chest swinging left and right in symphony with her butt.
"Nope, it isn't." Arnold froze the ground around him. She inevitably slipped on the thin layer of ice and fell hard on her butt.
'Did wearing the beast collar made her stupid?' Arnold thought while Natasha rubbed her bubble butt to ease the pain, 'For God's sake, use your wings, you bimbo in the heat!'
"This is not how I expected you to make my butt sore..." She mumbled, still rubbing her butt.
Asterios thought she was done for now, but to his and all of the summons surprise, Arnold agreed to the duel!
"Fine, I'll do it." Arnold shrugged his shoulders, "But not because I'm a sick pervert, but because you saved Nina's life as well as mine. If that's what you wish for, then I'm obligated to do it."
"Damnit! If I knew about this earlier, I'd have wished for something else!" She replied, her wings flapping intensely behind her back, "Um... Master. Since I saved two lives, shouldn't I get two wishes!?"
Arnold was slowly getting frustrated, but he kept his calm, "You want to do this or not?
"Of course master. My body and dead soul are yours to violate..." She said and started removing her armour, "But I won't battle with you like a bunch of savages. Instead, we'll fight like proud and honourable Cubus do. A battle of pleasure."
The summons who was on the verge of death from exhaustion were suddenly back on their feet, smiling like idiots. Even Arnold was stunned by Natasha's vulgarity and before he could get a hold of the situation, she was already naked. Arnold hated to admit it but he was quite... har- Excited. Yeah. Excited.
Natasha slowly walked towards him. Swinging her stark naked body around. However, Arnold's senses soon kicked him in the balls before it was too late. He wanted to distract himself from his thoughts but this wasn't what he wanted to do. Regardless of how grateful he was for everything Natasha had done for him this was way out of line. Even for her.
"W-We'll carry-on with this some other time. I just remembered I have some task to complete tonight so... See ya." He said and jumped into a portal, carrying him out of his domain.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

Soul Core Online
Soul Core Online was a game that few people were interested in until after it was released, due to its odd way of handling character growth but this soon changed as people started to realise just how different this game was. Unlike many of its predecessors the NPCs in Soul Core Online acted in a way that was indistinguishable from real people and the world felt alive because of this instead of the empty and sterile cities we had come to expect, even walking down the street could give you insights to how these people lived. In my case this was the world that I had always wanted to visit and I soon found myself embroiled in the constantly changing world that is Soul Core Online.
