Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 286
Advertisement
After walking out of the top floor, Marcus led Vincent into the audience seats of the Arena of Life and Death. They found a relatively quiet corner and sat down.
The two of them chatted while watching the match.
Marcus suddenly asked, "Brother Fire Asura, is this your first time sitting in the audience seats and watching the match below?"
Vincent thought for a moment and confirmed that it was true, so he nodded with a smile.
Marcus continued to ask, "How is it? From a contestant to a spectator, how are you adapting to the change in your identity?"
Vincent noticed that Marcus was starting to care about him for no reason, so he ignored him. This was because Vincent knew that Marcus was the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense before talking about serious matters.
Vincent directly interrupted Marcus who was about to speak, "If you have something to say, just say it! Don't blame me for not cooperating with you earlier. I spoke from Kaeger's perspective. Your way is too evil. I can only say that your excuse is too lame. The Ultimate Evil Lord did not believe it at all. The current punishment is already at the maximum. Any more would be wishful thinking!"
However, Marcus was not angry. He just smiled and said, "Brother Fire Asura, you don't have to blame yourself. In fact, I had already guessed that the Ultimate Evil Lord would punish Kaegar like this. That is also my purpose today! Now that my purpose has been achieved, I will definitely make up for the benefits that I had promised you earlier!"
Vincent cursed Marcus in his heart. What did he mean by not blaming himself? Which eye did he use to see that he was blaming himself?
However, on the surface, Vincent still pretended to be curious and asked, "What? Your goal today is not to directly kill the Feathered Monsters, but to get a share of their business?"

Marcus said proudly, "Brother! "Don't underestimate the share. As long as I successfully intervene in the arms business, the Feathered Monsters' business will no longer be an iron bucket. At that time, I can slowly move the entire market and take the opportunity to weaken the Feathered Monsters' power. When they lose power, it will be a piece of cake for me to deal with them!"
Vincent looked at Marcus in surprise as if he had never thought of such a brilliant plan. He muttered and sighed, "I didn't think that you would be able to think of such a brilliant plan based on the Ultimate Evil Lord's hint and what he said. It seems that your mind is far above the Ultimate Evil Lord. Even his thoughts and reactions have become a part of your plan. It is indeed wonderful, wonderful!"
After hearing Vincent's praise, Marcus was immediately in a good mood. His face was full of confidence.
While he was feeling pleased, Marcus did not forget to whisper into Vincent's ear, "Brother Fire Asura, to be honest, although the Ultimate Evil Lord's words are the most powerful in the capital of Ultimate Evil, his methods are too simple and his intelligence is not very high. Subordinates like us can make good use of this high-level creature without being noticed. In the future, when our business is on the right track, we will be able to get more benefits from the evil lord sooner or later!"
Vincent just nodded repeatedly. However, he could not believe that Marcus still had the face to say that the evil lord was not intelligent enough. He dared to belittle the Ultimate Evil Lord in front of him. This was simply courting death. As long as Vincent relayed these words to the Ultimate Evil Lord, Marcus's ending would definitely be 10,000 times worse than Kaeger's.
However, Vincent would not take action at that moment because he still needed Marcus to continue fighting with the Feathered Monsters.

"Since you are so confident that you can treat the evil lord as a plaything in your hands, then I look forward to our upcoming cooperation!" said Vincent to Marcus.
"Haha, Good! Brother Fire Asura is indeed straightforward. Sooner or later, I will prove it to you! You will not regret cooperating with me!" said Marcus very boldly.
He then turned his head and secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
As a big businessman who had lived in the capital of Ultimate Evil for so long, how could Marcus be a fool and disrespect the Ultimate Evil Lord in front of others?
However, based on their previous interactions, Marcus realized that when Vincent mentioned the Ultimate Evil Lord, there was not the slightest bit of respect in his tone. It must be because of his extremely arrogant personality.
In order for such a person to look up to him and achieve the goal of the cooperation, he had to cater to his interests and also express his disdain towards the strong and experts. Hence, it became an interesting scene where Marcus silently criticized Vincent.
Marcus thought that he had won Vincent's respect with his words earlier. However, he did not know that Vincent would have personally sent him to the guillotine if he did not think that he was useful.
When the match was over, Vincent and Marcus walked out of the audience seat side by side. Both of them politely greeted each other goodbye and then turned to leave.
Marcus walked downstairs alongside the moving crowd, while Vincent turned to walk towards the quieter corridor.
After just a few steps, Vincent saw Kaeger rushing over in a hurry. He must have rushed over to check on the situation because of the Ultimate Evil Lord's punishment.
Therefore, Vincent took the initiative to welcome him and asked with a worried expression, "What are you doing here at this time? The Ultimate Evil Lord doesn't really want to see you!"
After seeing that Vincent still had the heart to remind him, Kaegar hurriedly frowned and asked, "What exactly happened? Why was our business torn apart and handed over to the Bard Race to manage?"
"You don't know..."
Vincent pretended to sigh and then told Kaeger about what had just happened. He also emphasized that when Marcus had wantonly smeared his race, he had stood up recklessly and put in a good word for him. Only then did the punishment by the Ultimate Evil Lord changed from extermination to a very insignificant punishment.
After hearing that, cold sweat broke out on Kaeger's back. He muttered and sighed, "According to what you said, if you had not stepped forward at the crucial moment, our Feathered Monster Race would have all died!"
Vincent lowered his head and sighed, "Not necessarily. Perhaps the Ultimate Evil Lord is also intending to show mercy to you, which is why he agreed to it so readily after I pleaded for mercy!"
Kaeger took a deep breath, with a grave expression, he said, "But no matter what, now that Marcus has interfered in the arms business, it's equivalent to stabbing a knife in the heart of the Feathered Monster Race. No matter what, I have to find the Ultimate Evil Lord and reason with him again. Even if the punishment of our Feathered Monster Race cannot be reduced, we must not allow the Bard Race to gain such a huge advantage!"
Vincent suddenly smiled and said, "Now that you want to exonerate the Feathered Monster Race, I have indeed no other way. But if you want to make the Bard Race pay the same price, I have a way!"
Kaeger quickly asked, "Oh? What way?"
Vincent said with a smile, "Use the same method to return the favor!"

Loremaster: A Progression Dark Fantasy
Serena had died a Celestial. One of the few who were meant to rule over the vast multiverse. Yet she was inexplicably reborn. Carrying the knowledge of her past life, she seeks to do what her kind does best... rule. Yet, the multiverse isn't what it once was. Mortals aspire to become what the celestials once were, through levels or classes or cultivation. New things that didn't and shouldn't exist. And these mortals are only the beginning of what stands in her way. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Warning: There will be times that morally suspect themes happen. While I have little to no intention of showing them (especially during a Writathon) things like abuse of all kinds (neglect, emotional, mental, spiritual, physical and sexual) can or be implied to have happened. These are played to the horrors such things are, and are treated with the seriousness and aftereffects it would cause. Progression + Cultivation + GameLit + Multiverse + Slow Build + Slow Burn + Worldbuilding + Grimbright + Multiple POVs = Insanity for all. This the first time I am seriously writing an original story. I will be Writing each book in Parts/Arcs (3-6) with mini arcs (3-6 in each arc). Each Mini-arc is 5-14 or so chapters. I like progression stories and I've always wanted to try and write one like a few of the web novels that inspired me. The Game Lit aspects will be more in the background, with focus on other details like dungeons, monsters, loot, morality, and so on. There will be focus on various kinds of progression. Updates 3-5 days a week (Usually weekdays). Chapters will be roughly 1000-2500 words and alternate wildly.

The Limits of Limitless
Author's Note: So, new author here, nice to meet you from this lovely one sided conversation lol. I was so tired of waiting for the perfect story for me so I decided to write a few of my own. These are basically just to make me happy, but if you enjoy them too that would make me happy as well lol. ______________________________________________________________________________________ So once upon a time, there was a convienent, and slightly cliche, plot device used by a somewhat lazy author.... Which in turn, created an easily made story of how a lucky high schooler posing as a hardcore gamer dies only to resurrect in a fantasy reality, meeting beautiful women, powerful dragons and ancient beings, an assortment of insanely escentric fellows, and a certain over powered ring. Journey with them as they explore the wilderness of twisted imagination. Or for you old timey folk who like their synopsis a bit tame, here you go: Jason, a senor in highschool, is slowly failing school due to not giving a fuck. Like many people now in the year 3056, he is obsessed with the wonderful invention most lovingly called, 'True Virtual Realities'. now by using his obsession with his favorite Virtual Reality game called 'Reality Controlled', which is the first and so called best Virtual Reality ever made. it was basically the all around escape humanity wished for, and he with heaven defying luck came across one of the three cheat items the game developers left for themselves: The Limitless Ring. The ring was a support type item and had the ability to grant wishes, store worlds, clone items, grant skills and easily learn abilities. But those are just a few of the things it could do. Using the ring he successfully became the "best player" and had a herd of fans following him everywhere. It was a dream come true. Until, he was killed from a power surge that fried his brain which was hooked up to the Nerve Capsule, an unsafe prototype of the Dive gear that he bought do to low funds. The end. Or so you would think.... ______________________________________________________________________________________ Author's Note: I was, to be honest, wanting to do a collab, because to me it is sooooooo incredibly boring to write by yourself since you always know what happens next, however no one enjoys a bit of friendly cooperation *sigh* so I'm forced to journey these roads alone.... 'Tis but a sad fate tha' 'is here young'un has t' bear. The cover isn't mine, all rights and stuff goes to its artist and such.

Unfortunately for John, he attracted the attention of a certain student who seems friendly enough but definitely has ulterior motives.
