Divine Emperor Of Death Chapter 241
Advertisement
After that, there were even more batches of women and even men although they were in the minority.
But this time, the audience was quite happy since VIP room 20 went silent after that.
Davis could understand their resentment but he had no idea why the person in VIP room 20 stopped bidding.
Davis had considered saving them too but after he did that where was he supposed to leave them?
Their cultivations were low and their mentality was in an all-time low, making them vulnerable to any sweet talk, even from a suspicious person.
Even if he had freed them into the city, they would still get hoodwinked into something else without any background to protect them.
And he can't make take care of them or was he supposed to create an orphanage and a nursery to protect them?
When he thought all of this, he wryly smiled, sneering at his hypocrisy, 'In the end, I'm searching for all the reasons to not save them...'
If he had truly wanted to save them like a hero, he would've just done it without thinking about the consequences and stuff.
'Anyway, I already know that I'm not a hero, nor a powerhouse. I should just concentrate on becoming a powerhouse first before trying to save other people...'
But the fact that the twenty women sold for 70,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones didn't come off as a surprise to him.
Even Kara Moonridge, a princess of a fallen kingdom only managed to garner around 50,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones, a price comparable to a High-Level Sky Grade Armament.
It was only when the fact that she had a unique physique was revealed did her bidding value increase to a ridiculous amount that it could even be compared to Peak-Level Sky Grade Armament even though she only had a Mid-Level Earth Grade Physique.

A person should keep in mind that the cost of a Peak-Level Sky Grade Merchandise would be from 100,000 Low-Level Spirit Stone to 1,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones, depending upon the uniqueness, but that was also just an estimate.
However, from this, one could see the rarity and the value of a person's physique.
If she had a Sky Grade Physique, her price would have reached crazy limits!
But in the off-chance, if she had a King Grade Physique, then the major powers would have openly fought for her hand, even treating her with the utmost respect! Nobody would even dare to touch her or sell her off in the first place!
The auction proceeded for around half a day while introducing various items.
The auctioneer who had his eyes glowing, opened his mouth, "The next merchandise we received is a very important item that is related to one's health. Normally, this kind of item will be sold openly but as the item's background is dubious, we have decided to auction it here!"
The auctioneer removed the red cloth, presenting a pill on top of a pillbox. It glowed with crimson color, giving off a strong aura of vitality.
"This is a High-Level Sky Grade Pill, the Crimson Vitality Pill. It is a healing pill that is capable of healing Mid-Level Fifth Stage Experts from a severely injured state!"
"Although its effects are on only par with a Low-Level Sky Grade Pill, its energy is incredibly gentle that even mortals could consume it. Although they wouldn't gain any cultivation, their lifespan will increase by a hundred years, which makes it even more valuable. Plus, it is incredibly useful for treating hidden injuries in our bodies which doubles the value..."
"The starting price will be set at 150,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"

Davis's eyes finally lit up! This pill just might be incredibly useful to him or rather Evelynn to be precise!
...He wasn't going to miss this chance to buy one for her! Of course, it was to regenerate her hand which had been severed. If she couldn't reach the Body Transformation Stage, then this pill would instantly heal her back to full health.
As the bids increased, he quietly waited till there were only two of them left fighting for it.
"VIP room 33 bids 235,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"VIP room 05 bids 236,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"VIP room 33 bids 237,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"VIP room 05 bids 250,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
The increase of 13,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones left the other person considering whether to bid or not.
Actually, the price had already exceeded its true value, so only who truly needed this was continuing to bid.
Now seeing that there were no more bids, the auctioneer started to count, "Going once!"
"Going twice!"
*Ding!*
Davis who was waiting for the bids to stop finally bid an amount.
"VIP room 17 bids 270,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!" The auctioneer was gladdened and noticed that this person from VIP room 17 had never bid for a single item before.
The auctioneer waited for a few seconds again, the uttered, "Going once!"
"Going twice! ...Going thrice!! Congratulations to the person in VIP room 17 for obtaining the Crimson Vitality Pill!"
Davis nodded satisfactorily, 'I knew it! No one would be willing to bid no more than that for a pill of this level...'
Feeling happy, he glanced at the woman who curled herself up in the corner.
The woman upon noticing his gaze quickly hid her head into her knees.
His eyes twitched and the complacent feeling before totally disappeared and was replaced with bitterness.
Having a gloomy person in the room didn't sit well with him as he got used to Ellia's cheerfulness, Lucas's and Lucia's drivel before.
He had ignored her all this time but he realized that it cannot continue this way.
"Get up!" Davis spoke indifferently.
His voice resounded in her ears causing her to quickly stand up with attention.
Her eyes shone with determination while her small fists were tightly clenched although one could see clearly that those small fists were entirely trembling.
"Serve me that drink over there..." Davis pointed at the showcase where there were tons of drinks displayed.

Beneath No Sky: Chronicles of the Atmospheric Sector
After bringing themselves back from the brink of annihilation, humanity's future seemed bleak. However, it's remnants, throwing aside the old order and donning a new mantle of progress aimed to rise above their ancient disputes and go forward as one. Once the Earth reached it's natural limit, and colonies around Terra and Luna had shown promising results, humanity finally decided to make the move to the stars. Believing this to be the start of a new age, they eagerly poured across the solar system and further beyond, greeting what space had to offer with hope and optimism. It was misplaced, however, for humanity's traditional quarrels soon resurfaced and engulfed a now interplanetary empire of many races.As the Earth Empire burned and an intense depression overtook the once optimistic people, some held out hope. They theorized that their problems were born of an inherent sense of home and, in order to rid humanity, now comprising of the Terrans as well as all the other known species of the galaxy, of this burden, decided to move far away from civilized space, into uncharted depths, to start anew. Some 200 years have passed since then, and those hopeful ones have finally found a place to settle on. Firmly planting their flag in paradise, they called this untouched land "Eden" and declared the beginning of a true new age, the age of After Eden.Trouble, however, seemed to still be hounding them, as barely three years after its founding, Eden finds itself at war with a seemingly uncommunicative and uncompromising enemy that far outclasses the odd pirates they were used to facing. A new era of peace, marked by an immediate conflict. Time will tell if Eden, the Grand Experiment, truly is as great as it's supposed to be. ---------------------------------------- This is a sci-fi, character driven, military space drama. Multiple POV protagonists and lots of unnecessary detail. Somewhat psychological. My first work on this website. Cover is AI-generated, cover font is Salvar Font by Salvar on fontspace (https://www.fontspace.com/salvar-font-f42807).

The Shattered Universe Saga - Deus Vult Alpha from Omega
This is book one. Rick West, a wounded Marine with a very unique past is transported, with a significant portion of Earth's population, to a new universe. One that is shattered and yet to coalesce under a divine law. This is the story of a military man who begins the saga immature, rough, careless of other’s feelings. A young man whose focus is on getting laid, fighting, and winning at every turn, regardless of cost. He gets caught up in a strange occurrence, along with a billion others, and finds himself in an oddly familiar place where life is lived as a timed-event role-playing game. He discovers that within the shattered universe he is a Mystic Player, a Marshal, a figure of power, potential, and probability. If he wins, he may even able to wrestle unto himself the very throne of heaven. Rick starts to build his Pantheon with his most trusted companions, friends, family, and a harem of strong and talented women. He faces challenges within himself and others, and also must lead his faction into battle with men and monsters. As Rick and his companions progress through the adventure games within the pocket universe, he develops a greater understanding of his humanity and the qualities of what makes each of us uniquely valuable. He grows mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, without really noticing how he is leaving his old existence behind. Striving against him for truly ultimate power are a thousand others with the same potential, the same possibilities. All are aligned on the spectrum from the brightest of minds, the lightest of hearts, to the darkest of souls. All Mystic Players, be they Monster or Marshal, share one characteristic. They thrive in chaos. And a shattered universe is a universe in chaos. At the end of the Saga, will the winner be someone worthy of emulation and even, if it were appropriate, of worship as an exemplar of divinity. Will the title granted to the Final Victor be EXEMPLAR, or will the title be DESPOILER? That is the question.

Dungeon Crawler Katia
The aliens killed everyone on Earth...almost. Every structure, from the Taj Mahal to the lowliest lobster trap, vanished into the earth, killing everyone inside. The survivors were given a choice: Endure on the surface without food or shelter or tools, or descend into a world-spanning nightmare dungeon that is also a reality TV show. Katia, an art professor from Iceland who has given up her humanity to transform into a shapeshifting doppelganger, meets up with Carl and his cat, Donut. Together, the three fight to survive in a dungeon filled with Clarketech goblin murderdozers and pyramid-scheme fairy moonshine-makers. The above is, of course, describing Dungeon Crawler Carl. With DoctorHepa's (the author) permission I'm posting some fanfic to expand on Katia, one of the secondary characters who started off not getting as much exploration as I would have preferred. I started off writing chapters that matched up to canon except from her POV instead of Carl's; that lasted a couple of chapters before going off the rails and spinning off into a completely new story, which suggests I should really go back and renumber all the chapters as soon as I find some tuits.
