Inhuman Warlock Chapter 247

He could even use a twig as a sword and cut metal with it.
Both his powers worked in synergy to help each other. Through his first power, he manipulated any object to become his sword.
On the other hand, through his other power, which needed him to hold a sword, he used that object to attack. This made him able to take on enemies even when he had nothing.
He could even use a piece of paper as a sword if he wanted.
"Otherwise, I'll have to force you to give me your car," the dark-haired man said furiously. "We are the protectors of the nation. Our getting to places is more important than you!"
"Don't worry. I know enough about you to know what kind of protectors you are. We have people like you in my nation too," Cassius replied, smiling.
"Jiang, get in the car and start it. I'll see who stops you from leaving today," he told Jiang, who nodded.
Jiang was surprised as well. It looks like the friend of Lucifer was as crazy as him.
"I'll break that car in half if you tried touching it!" The dark-haired variant warned Jiang.
Cassius smirked as he stepped aside.
"Sure. I challenge you to touch the car. After that, you can't blame me," he said smiling, but anger was evident in his smile.
He was really prepared to cut the hand of this guy if he touched the car, no matter what happened next. He really hated people like this guy. In any case, it wasn't like he was really hoping to be friends with APF.
"What's hard in it. You think you can scare me?" The dark haired man said as he arrogantly started walking towards the car.

Lucifer didn't interfere as he stood in the side, folding his arms. He had given Cassius the freedom to do whatever he wanted. As for the rest, he was going to handle it.
As the dark haired man walked towards the car, Jenilia sensed danger. She didn't know why but she was getting a scary feeling from Cassius.
As for the branch that was in his hand, it also started shining, which alerted her even more. Cassius was a Variant; she was sure of that.
'If he is giving this intimidating feeling even to me, he can't be weaker. This is a battle we can't afford,' she thought as she frowned.
"Tian! Stop right there! This is no way to talk to people we're asking help from! Get back right here!" She told the Dark Haired man, stopping him just when his hand was a few centimeters away from touching the car.
The dark haired man known as Tian stopped as he turned back, "But Miss Jenilia?"
"No, but. Come back. If they don't want to give us a lift, it's fine. We can't be thugs and act like that. Come back. We'll wait for someone else," Jenilia told Tian, not letting him do it. In any case, they were in the wrong here.
Tian nodded, even though he looked unwilling. He walked back as he glared at Cassius while saying, "You're a lucky kid."
Cassius didn't react as he started walking back.
"Luci, let's leave," he said, telling Lucifer to come with him.
As Cassius talked to Lucifer, who was standing in the distance, Jenilia's gaze fell on him.
"Hah? It's you!" She said in surprise as she ran to Lucifer.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you say you were going somewhere else?" She asked Lucifer.

Lucifer wanted to curse Cassius for bringing the attention of this girl to him.
He calmly nodded his head as he replied, "I was, but then a new meeting came up, which was in Elisium. So I got off here as well. Anyway, I'm getting late for the meeting. I'll take my leave."
Lucifer turned back as he started leaving.
"Hey, wait! Aren't we friends? Can I get a lift?" Jenilia asked now that she realized that Lucifer was here too.
Since it was him, she could ask him for help. She had helped him by giving him her laptop too, after all.
"I'm sorry, but we don't have enough seats. Both cars are two seaters, and we're three people. We can't accommodate the two of you. It's better if you wait for other cars," Lucifer said, frowning.
"It's fine. I'll adjust in your lap," Jenilia replied, laughing.
Lucifer looked at her weirdly as he frowned. "Sorry, my lap is busy too. I need to get on a video call in the car. Can't have you. Sorry for not being able to help."
"Come on! I'm kidding! Where is your sense of humor? Anyway, what I meant is that I want you to take me to the city. As for Tian, he'll come back in a different car later. See? Four seats and four people. Problem solved," Jenilia said, not giving up.
Lucifer didn't say no straight away as he found it an interesting offer. She was from the Warlock Council. And she wasn't suspicious of him.
Through her, he could get information out of her as to why she was with APF.
But there was also a problem. There were only two drivers, Jiang and Cassius. So these two could only sit in two different cars. How could he get information from her?
"Can you drive?" he asked the girl.
"Of course. What kind of an adult can be stupid enough to not know how to drive?" Jenilia let out casually.
Even though she had said such words casually, they hit Lucifer directly. Why was it that everyone knew how to drive? It looks like he really needed to learn it soon enough.
"And you're going to the next city?" Lucifer asked again.
"That's right. You can drop me off in the next city," She replied.
'Since she's going to the next city, it's not bad. I can give her lift and get some answers. After that, we can be on our way. In any case, we needed to pass it to get to our destination,' Lucifer thought.
"Alright. You can come with us," Lucifer said, nodding.
"But Miss Jenilia, how can you go alone with these strangers?" Tian asked, not understanding. "I must come with you too."
"I'm sorry Tian, but you can't come. There are no seats. I'll get going in advance, or I'll be late. You can come later," Jenilia replied. "And that's final."
"But...."
"No but! Do you think I'm a kid who can't take care of myself? I'm doing it. You stay behind," Jenilia replied as she held Lucifer's hands which had the black gloves.
Lucifer freed his hand as he walked to Jiang and Cassius and took them far, leaving Jenelia behind. He explained what he wanted to do.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

Crafter's Passion (AKA Gleaners' Guild)
2038, California. Stan is doing his mandatory "volunteer" service years on a collective farm when he encounters Thousand Tales, a game that offers immortality to the super-rich. He can't afford to have his brain uploaded like those elite customers, but maybe he can turn a profit out of the game instead of just playing it. Not as a legendary swordsman or a brilliant wizard, but as a dealer in the junk no one else seems to want. If he plays his cards right, he can draw the attention of both the farm's supervisor and the game's ruling, meddling AI. Should he, though? LitRPG. Part of the world of "Thousand Tales", a novel series on Amazon, though no knowledge of it is expected. This story is around 12K words long. I'd appreciate feedback to help write a much longer version! Updates every few days. Cover art from game-icons.net, by Lorc, CC-BY. Update! This story was originally called "Gleaners' Guild". It came out on Amazon under the name "Crafter's Passion" and has many reviews there, thanks in part to the support of RR readers like you. Thanks! It even has a sequel, "Crafter's Heart".
