The Ancients World Chapter 219

{I wanted to let everyone know that I have a p-a-t-r-e-o-n with two new exclusive stories on it. One is The Aeternus Universe, and the other is a new story with a basketball system. I hope you guys will give it a chance. The link is https://www.p-a-t-r-e-o-n.com/easyread. Remove the dashes. Webnovel censors the word.}
I push open the door, and there are many maids and butlers in the room. Amelia turns her head towards us and waves us over. Sally and I both walk over and sit down in one of the several seats. Jackson continues to drink from his teacup, and Amelia looks at me. She looks happy and not stressed anymore from the challenges of the poor. "Are you planning to leave right after the wedding? I'd like it if you stuck around longer this time. That only gives me a day with you." Since the wedding is tomorrow, Amelia wants to spend as much time as she can with me.
Sally and I have revenge to get. She has been patient enough, and I won't have her wait for any longer after the wedding. She has helped me so much and provided something I didn't know I needed. It's her turn to get what she wants, and what she wants is revenge against the men who made her life hell. "We aren't going to be staying for any more time after the wedding. We already have so much to do, and I want to get started on it right away." Amelia looks down, a little disappointed. This is the second time we have seen each other.
The only other times we communicate was when we used letters, and I don't check those often enough. It hurt her a lot by not responding or checking, but showing up here and hanging out for today and tomorrow will make up for some of it. "What do you think about the new way The Pope for the church is being selected? I'm sure you're interested die to your connection with it." Jackson asks me a question I haven't really put a lot of thought into. I don't really care who becomes Pope. It's not going to stop me from doing what I want.
The church knows better by now than to bother me the way it has, and if it hasn't learned. I'll make sure they due. I see the same head maid from earlier standing at one of the butler's sides. She has a calm expression, and many are waiting for my response. "What the church does isn't a concern of mine, Jackson. I've never wanted anything to do with them, and that'll never change. More and more things are happening that stem from the church." We all hear a light bang, and I see the head maid quickly recompose herself before Amelia or Jackson turns to see.

She must be a huge supporter of the church, and me saying that must have hurt her image of me more. "I figured you'd say as much. The concerns of the mortals do not bind you. You are free to do what you wish when you wish. For example, killing a king's court. While Bellvia was a horrid place, many are extremely concerned by your actions. Many rulers are worried that the same will happen to them." I only did what I did so I could get what I needed in Bellvia. I'm not going to do that anywhere else unless the situation calls for it.
The head maid comes with another pot of tea and pours some for Jackson, and Sally also gets a cup. I look at her. Her facial expression hides her feeling well, but I can tell she is mad. "While the concerns of the people do not hold me to anything, all the problems in the world are caused because of humans. It's not my job to fix all the mistakes that have been made just because I'm who I am." I see the maids head turn towards me ever so slightly. She quickly stops and finishes what she's doing. She walks over and stands next to the butler again.
Amelia looks at me with sadness, and while I don't like causing her sadness. This needs to be said. She sees me looking at her. "I know your stance on things. I want you to keep an open mind. You can save a lot of people if you do one small thing. Sometimes, that one small thing can be impossible for a human. You have gotten so much stronger since the last I saw you. You have more power than any mortal could ever dream." Amelia speaks the truth, but my life is my own. It's not going to be determined by the people who are suffering because of others.
I lean back in my chair and sigh. Talking about politics and what I should and shouldn't do is really not something that I like to do. I pinch the bridge of my nose and try to ease the pressure in my nose and head. Everything is going perfectly for me, and my loved ones. Yet, I feel as though a great doom is heading our way. After were done getting Sally's revenge, I have several tier-up quests to do. I have two right now, but by the end of Sally's quest, I'll probably be over level 200. Making the tier-up quest count three.

The Kingdom of Avalon is the next step on the journey after Sally and I are done. "So what time is your wedding Jackson? I'd like to know at what time I need to be prepared." He smiles and explains the wedding starts earlier morning and will end in the late evening. So it's going to be an all-day event. I look over to Sally and smile. "Don't wear heels. It's going to be a very long day." She mods her head in agreement. I don't know what Sally thinks about heels, but by our fast, she agreed she must not like them all that much.
Jackson stands up and says his goodbyes. It's still morning, and I bet Amelia would love to take us on a tour of the city and all its changes so far. "We have all day to do what you want, so make it count." I direct my voice at Amelia, and I watch a huge smile spread across her face. She quickly stands up and barks orders in excitement to the butlers to get a carriage ready. Sally and I sit quietly as she takes her time and does this. I turn my head and look at Sally. "I'm sure she is going to buy us things, so be ready to pick things out." Sally gives a nervous chuckle.
While I don't mind being spoiled, it really is weird to be spoiled at my age. "I wonder what kind of exclusive things Zenith sells. I heard it was a rough capital city before the war broke out for it, and once Jackson took over, things have never been better." She has an excellent memory. I stand up and hold out my hand to her. She grabs it, and I help her up. Amelia turns at the door and waved for us to follow, full of excitement. "Your mom is one of the most energetic people I have ever met..." It's going to be a long story to explain my real mom to her. That's a conversation and a thought for another time. I pull up my quest regarding Sally as we walk to the carriage.
[Sally's Past]
[Description: Help Sally in her quest for vengeance against all the men that tortured and sexually assaulted her growing up. Help her punish the Elven Kingdom for their ways.]
[Objective 1: When the time comes, Sally will ask you for your direct help in this matter.][Completed]
[Objective 2: Once everything is done with your quest involving the Dryads, ask Sally what the first step in her revenge is.][Completed]
[Objective 3: Head to the Barony of James in the kingdom of Pleer][In progress]
[Rewards: Unknown]
[Difficulty: Legendary]
[Note: The great difficulty of this quest is the goals that Sally has set in revenge. If they weren't so great, then the difficulty wouldn't be so high.]
I should ask Jackson or nobles at the wedding if they know anything about Baron James and the Kingdom of Pleer. I have many things coming up, and new information regarding them would be excellent. I'm sure Sally is full of information, but I don't want to ask her anything that would cause memories of pain to surface. I look ahead and see massive doors that are being held open and carriage waiting, guess it's time to have so fun with Amelia. She has been waiting so long for me to show up and hang out. In the end, I kept my promise to come and see her. That makes me feel better on the inside.
We walk up to the carriages and take a seat. Soon they start moving and I look out the window to see we are heading for Zenith.

The Ancient Core: A Progression Fantasy
The title of [The Ancient One] is bestowed upon an unassuming, forgotten Core. Hidden deep underground, it lies in wait, biding its time as it learns the rules of its surroundings. Roaming beasts and unknown threats surely threaten the little rock as it sticks to the darkness, its one true refuge. This is a slow-burning Dungeon-Core fiction with a LitRPG-System. You can expect an extreme amount of kingdom-building, an more in-depth Mana-System, and a Evolution-System. Chapters are between the length of 2-4k words, though the first 50 will likely be closer to 4k. Anything after will have the average be 2.5k. I personally like explaining how things work a lot, so do have that in mind if you decide to read this fiction. Cover is credited to [Asviloka] who can be found on this thread:https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/110578 [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Quantum Cultivation - a Xianxia x Cyberpunk Story
It's 2800, and homo sapiens has reached perfection through genetic engineering and nanotechnology. All except the Purebred. They serve as a reminder of what humans once were, a benchmark for XHumans to see how far they've come. Like all Purebred, with their menial jobs, Ken eeks out a living sweeping the floors of Kyoto Central Peacekeeping. His life will change when 800-year-old Ryu appears in Kyoto, looking for a lost temple; and Aya, a beautiful hacker with a unique disease, learns that XHumans aren't as perfect as they thought. They've edited out the genes which allow for Cultivation. That will give Ken a chance to surpass them. And maybe save the world from an impending cataclysm. *** I'm an epic fantasy author, but this is my first foray into Xianxia! My day job is Chinese Medicine, and I teach Wing Chun and practice Taiji and Liu He Ba Fa, so there will be real life elements in this story. Please let me know how I can improve! *** To be published on Amazon by the end of the year. https://www.amazon.com/JC-Kang/e/B0195EMIY2

Polly and Drake
Drake has been searching for a job as a personal guard, but wherever he turns, he is kicked out without fail. It's not that he's terrible with weapons, or inattentive. It could be because of his obvious racial heritage. Or because of Polly. With his funds dwindling, the only remaining option is to become one of the Cursed: poor souls that work for the Dragoneye Guild. In other lands, they may be called adventurers, saviors or even heroes, but not in the White Desert. Here, they are shunned and ignored. Depraved people who forsook their humanity for money and fame. With this choice, Drake may not only fall from grace, but also become one of only a few thousands capable of unearthing the secrets of ancient times. If he could get this guardsman notion out of his head. May contain gore, violence, profanity and traumatising content. Taking another shoot at this writing business. I write for fun and when I have time. There is no plan. The story may change drastically from what it starts out - or not. We'll see what happens. Currently, I'm aiming for a Slice of Life with LitRPG elements at a later time.
