Divine Emperor Of Death Chapter 18
Advertisement
"Davis, since you have a powerful soul, it's also a must for you to become an Alchemist or else it will be just a waste of talent." Claire urged her son.
"Eh?" Davis had a stupid and crying expression on his face.
'Oh, that process where people make pills from a cauldron? It looks really easy to read in a novel but is it really easy to do here?'
"What? Do you even know what alchemy is? Do you know how easy it is to cultivate with pills in your arsenal? Do you how much respect the alchemists command in our continent?"
"Alright, alright, Mom doesn't have to explain all this. Just let father teach me alright." Davis replied as he already knew what kind of bullshit respect those alchemists have, those misers.
Claire immediately glared at Logan while he just looked around and started whistling as if he hadn't heard anything.
Claire then said to Davis with a not so smiling face. "Davis, your father was the fifth in line for the throne, and wasn't interested in anything other than woman and cultivation. He was pretty arrogant, so he didn't train in Alchemy at all and as a result, you see a failure of a father who can't teach you Alchemy."
"Claire!!" Logan's face was red in embarrassment. This was a dark history that he didn't want anyone to know about. If his people knew that he, as an Emperor, didn't know shit about Alchemy, they would laugh till they die.
Davis gulped, he realised that his Mom's sharp words can kill people sometimes. 'Screw the Death Note, I should have the Mom Note!'
"He stopped flirting with other woman when he started loving me. At least, your dad is very upright in this regard."

Logan regained his bearings as he gained some face with that statement.
"No worries, even though many Alchemists command respect, they can't compare to an Emperor of a Sky Grade Empire and your talent is very high which even makes me jealous. Alchemists would probably flock to have you as a Direct Disciple if they know how powerful your soul is!" Logan explained with a proud face.
"But the problem is, it is not a good thing to reveal your talent in front of the public. We have just recently survived a disaster and our overall power has dropped, even though we are a powerhouse, we must be careful enough to not fall into the plot of others, such as assassinations."
Claire pondered and said. "Then we should just invite a high tiered trustable alchemist to teach Davis in the Royal Castle, we can secretly invite him using various proxies so that even if the invite failed, he will not be able to trace back to us."
"That's doable." Logan nodded.
"Does that mean that I am not allowed to roam the Royal Capital?" Davis didn't want to bring out the Death Note here, as his parents may know about it. As for why he didn't bring it out in the Redemption Tower, he thought that place was monitored as well.
"Obviously, you're not getting one step outside the Royal Castle without your Mom and Dad accompanying you. It is too dangerous." Claire scoffed.
"Even though the Royal Capital is our home field?" Davis expressed his doubts.
"On the surface, the Royal Capital may look calm, but there are maybe many serious undercurrents lurking without us knowing." Logan explained.
"Ever since the rebellion, we have severely weakened which made the other empires send their spies, assassins and what not. There's no telling that a random person with a powerful hidden cultivation, might approach you from somewhere, only to kill you and die himself."

Davis audibly gulped. 'I've underestimated this world too much.' Even though he already knew that he was constantly under protection, he just thought it was a royalty thing.
"And I will still know where you are as I have placed a soul mark on you."
"Where?" Davis panicked and immediately checked his soul for any foreign entities.
A bright golden talisman shot out from Logan's soul to Davis's soul.
..."Here." Logan said smugly. Claire laughed.
Davis knew that he was played the fool right now. He glared at his dad and swore secretly that he will take revenge for this.
"Davis, let Mom also mark you, so that I can immediately react to any emergencies." Claire sweetly said.
"Go ahead, Mom."
"Hehe, silly." Claire was very happy that Davis didn't put any restrictions in front of her. She also gave him a Sky Grade Protective Treasure, it was a locket.
"Dad, I now want to train in Body Tempering Cultivation." Davis declared seriously.
"No, first, you should stabilize your Soul Cultivation first."
"My Soul Cultivation is already stable." Davis quickly answered.
"Then you have to wait for your body to get used to pain."
"Father, I am used to pain." Davis smiled.
Logan's eyes twitched. 'At this rate, won't he punch a hole through the heavens and ascend quickly?' He sighed.
"Alright, let me get you a tutor for Body Cultivation first, Claire will arrange you the resources that you need to achieve a breakthrough."
"Won't you teach me dad?" Davis asked sincerely.
"I'm sorry, Davis, I don't have time for everything." Logan had a difficult expression on his face.
"I understand" Davis knew that his father, as the Emperor, must have a shitload of work to do.
"Dad, what about the Esse…"
"I know, once you complete your Body Cultivation, Claire will see to your Essence Gathering Cultivation." Logan clearly had enough of his bullshit.
"Or should I just assign you anoth…"
"No thanks." Davis was more than happy to be with his mother together.
"Haha, alright, it's getting busy for me, you and Claire should rest for today .Don't make Claire teach you too much a day, let her rest for a more period of time."
"I know dad, at that time, I will be either with Clara or in the Library, no need to worry. I will take care of mother!"
Logan and Claire both smiled satisfied by his reply.
Logan then left, princess carrying Claire to her room.
Davis smiled. He also left the room and headed to the Study.
'Phew, looks like I can't even sneak out of the castle. Then I will just have to get even stronger! For father and mother to acknowledge me!' Davis had fire emitting out from his eyes. He wanted to explore this world, atleast the neighbouring streets for now.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.
