Divine Emperor Of Death Chapter 45

They immediately surrounded him from both sides.
"Surrender if you know what's good for you." Case shouted.
"Or else you can say goodbye to your life." Cooper threatened.
"Trash spouting nonsense! If you've got guts, go slay my father!" Davis laughed.
"Oh, we'll do that in time! Unfortunately for you, he just left the Royal Capital today." Case grinned.
"And you are the perfect bait for that, hehe." Cooper laughed hideously.
"Now now, don't be in a hurry. We have all the time in the world to talk." Davis had a stiff face when he said that.
"Hmph, trying to delay for reinforcements? Won't work on us brat!"
"No really, I just wanted to know who the mastermind behind your betrayal was..."
They went silent all of a sudden.
"I knew it, there really was someone behind you people!" Davis exclaimed.
"So what? We don't even care if you find out." Case said with a indifferent expression.
"What good is it if you even find out? You won't even be able to escape from us." Cooper shouted.
As he said that, he made his move.
Cooper who was behind Davis rushed at him with an incredible speed.
Davis didn't move at all, he only glanced at the back calmly.
"Hmph, weak and slow! Only useful for leeching off resources!" Cooper thought that Davis was frozen in fear.
Just as he was going to injure Davis with his weapon severely, he collapsed and fell behind Davis crashing and rolling on the ground .
[Cooper Hawkwood
Dies immediately]
He used his soul to write almost instantly just as he saw Cooper make his move.
"Uwaah, I'm just really glad that I managed to breakthrough Peak Infant Soul Stage, or it would be quite problematic for me to kill you two." Davis sighed.

"You! Who are you? You are not the First Prince!" Case dropped his weapon in fear.
Hearing that, Davis sneered. "Idiot!"
"Now then, will you spit out the truth? Or.."
Case turned back and immediately tried to escape without answering.
"Tch, coward!"
Davis still wanted to try out his newly trained powers on him even though he can't win with it.
[Case Farnwen
Immediately turns into my mindless slave, and dies when he hears my voice give the command 'Die, Case']
Just as Case tried to fly away, he stopped mid-air. His eyes turned soulless. He turned back and dropped to the ground on all fours.
"Case Farnwen greets his Master."
'Looks like no one can escape the Death's Note grasp as long as it's within my limits.' Davis thought. Although he had no idea on how long the Death Note will keep him alive, if it reached the limit then it will immediately kill him anyway, so he wasn't worried.
"Who was the mastermind behind the rebellion?"
"It was Emperor Tritor."
"Ah, so it was that vermin, now the war actually makes sense. Why did he target our Empire though?"
"The Loret Empire is filled with riches with it's peaceful disposition. No matter who sees it, it will be a piece of the pie to the empires in the continent."
..."What made you all defect to him?" Davis narrowed his eyes.
"He promised us that either we or the Hawkwood Family will succeed as the Royal Family of this Empire with his backing once we have successfully killed all of the Royal Family members. The other noble families were tricked by us into rebellion with various other reasons."
All of his replies were like an automated voice.
'Certainly mindless..'

Davis sighed as he thought. 'Killing Emperor Tritor should be father's job.'
'Sadly, I have no use this for this guy anymore…'
'Hmm… wait a minute. Didn't he say something about assassin or something?"
"You became an assassin?"
"Yes, I have become an assassin."
"Why and when?"
"After we lost the rebellion, we lost support from Emperor Tritor. So I had no choice but to become an assassin to have my revenge against the both Emperor Tritor and Emperor Loret."
"Oh? What ambition! And then, how did you two become an assassin?"
"We joined the Dark Earth Organization to become an assassin."
'Tch… Can't this guy just answer detailedly? Ah right I forgot, he is mindless. Wait! Being an assassin? Isn't this a perfect opportunity for me to collect souls to refine? Hehe' Davis's eyes glowed.
"What is the Dark Earth Organization and how does one join it?"
"The Dark Organization is the strongest assassin organization in this Continent. It's headquarters is rumoured to be situated in the Tritor Empire. It has branches all over the continent. One can approach a branch to register for being an assassin. One has to complete a mission from the branch to be a member."
"Oh, has branches all over the continent. Is there one here?" He calmly continued questioning.
"There is a branch here."
"Where is it?"
"Behind Violet Joy House, there is an entrance underground. That is where the branch of the Dark Earth Organization is situated in."
'Joy House? Isn't that a brothel!?' Davis eyes wide shot open.
'But makes sense, hiding behind a skirt is a means of camouflage as well.'
"Does my father know about this?"
"He knows."
"Eh? Right." Davis was dumbfounded but it made sense.
'Guess offending an assassin organization is a dumb thing to do.'
'The question is… Should I kill this person right now?'
He contemplated for a moment before deciding against to kill him. He didn't want to alert Logan into coming home nor did he want to have their corpses in his Space Ring lest someone finds out by any chance.
"Store his corpse in your space ring and stay in a normal hotel for a month near the Violet Joy House."
"Yes." Case proceeded to store the corpse.
"And oh, where is the Violet Joy House again?" Davis had a peculiar expression when he asked that.
Case explained that and left.
Davis made his way to the Red-Light District. This time he disguised himself as a short old man while activating his Dark Concealing Shroud Art.
Words couldn't describe how he felt while after finally arriving at the Red Light District.
Davis gulped. He could see many women with transparent and loose clothing. Various types of women with different types of revealing clothes. They were all beautiful to a certain extent without any blemishes or pimples in their face.
Davis was cloaked or else he would've been called out by an elder women to enter their brothel already.
'Do they train in some beauty technique?' Davis thought while staring at those women.
He then thought that it was a good thing that he still hasn't hit puberty or else he would have a certain problem currently in the lower part of his body.

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats. This world is just discovering the power of steam and clockwork and the occasional magic dungeon crystal, so Vonn is just in time to become a famous genius. He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.
8 69Syche: The Dark Element
In a modern world where the four elements (no, not those elements; don't stop reading yet) are controlled by the select few born with the gift, seventeen-year-old Joshua Rasgard is horribly, painfully normal. And that’s not changing. No really. He survives by his wit and acute knowledge of how adventures should go, unlike his younger brother Kael who would rather disintegrate his problems to ash. Together, they're on a globe spanning treasure hunt that is about to take a dark turn. While hunting for clues, Joshua decides to rescue an ex-superpowered-assassin named Gianna. Doing so puts a target on all of their backs and thrusts them into a global conflict not unrelated to the treasure hunt. The one thing Joshua knows is that he is out of his element.

8 94Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
