Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene Chapter 192
Advertisement
Following behind the Golden eyed young man, I smiled as he took us into an elegant-looking room. Mostly composed of white, I could feel the heavenly qi of heaven and earth resonating in the air, causing me to smirk.
"It's so stupid that all those of the high class have qi, yet you still hide it."
Sending me a glance, the golden-eyed man snorted, "It's to keep the rabble in their place. No one wants a genius like you to rise. So we enforce such ridiculous rules. Change is not something we are avid lovers of."
"So I take it you are not welcoming of the spiral rings I created?" I coldly asked as Zanris poured me a glass of water that was present. It was not clear like most water but rather a transparent azure, like the vast ocean.
"Far from it, this could be a major invention. I am not just here to represent my auction house but our main branch within the central continent. We would love to have such an invention." He said as I took a sip, growing surprised at the vast amount of qi I was taking in. It was almost equal to the amount of qi I took in from about an entire day of cultivating.
"I will not be giving you the rune. Even if you mindfuck the Dwarves, they themself cannot give it to you. Soul attacks will not work on them." I suddenly informed as a look of disbelief filled the golden eye man. "I have taken precautions regarding such things. As for me... well, you can try, but I'm sure blood will rain over Midgard in the event of my death."
Bluffing with lies and truth, I relaxed, taking another sip. I spoke once more, "what is your name?"

Narrowing his gaze, he sneered, "My apologies, I am Trygve Englehart. Son of the late battle king Seral Englehart."
Humming in response, I rested my palm against my cheeks with a carefree expression, "Well, Trygve, son of Seral. Why should I make a deal with you? The word of my design has already spread throughout Midgard. I could just make a random auction and have the Vanir or Airer clan act as protection. They would be more than glad to do as such. "
Freezing like a statue, a cold atmosphere began to fill the room as Zanris simply smiled at my side. Silvia, however, sneered, "You have a lot of nerve Trygve. Not only were your actions rude and unacceptable you are starting to anger me. I suggest you remove your head out your ass and look around."
"She is quite right," Zanris commented, "Insulting a high elf of the House of Scara and someone who was personally appointed by Lord Torgeir. Even if Magni Works have a few world gods, do you really believe they would anger any of these people?"
Not saying anything. I simply enjoyed my water. In my opinion, Trygve was a fool. Believing he was the smartest man within the room. His arrogant behavior was annoying, but I didn't want to do any of the work needed. I was done with crap like this after my last 'tryst' within Pendragon. Sure I may make plans regarding killing and screwing people over, but politics was not something I wanted to deal with.
Although the ways things are looking, I will have no choice. With a cynical smile, I placed my empty glass as Zanris quickly filled it back up, "How about we start over, Trygve? It seems you believe me to be a child. While I may only be fifteen, I assure you my knowledge regarding politics far exceeds yours. Unless you wish for your own organization to kill you, I suggest you leave and return with a better attitude. "

Analyzing the horrid expression, Trygve left in a hurry, sweating bricks like the fool he was. Licking my lips, I closed my eyes, taking a big sip as Silvia burst into laughter, "he is so stupid."
"Agreed, but he is a fifth Star Elemental cultivator." Zanris carelessly stated, not showing any fear or trepidation, "That is the peak, of Elemental star and a Low-grade Nascent soul. "
"And can you kill him?" I whispered, sending the young Lilim a feral grin.
Licking her lips towards me, Zan giggled, "Master, he would not last long. I am a six-stage nascent soul and a fourth elemental star cultivator. He would have been a challenge before but now that I am a Devil. HEHE"
Smirking, I nodded, knowing all that Lilims were capable of. While they were not at the peak of demonkind like me or the royals. They could match them easily. Lilith was not known as the Mother of Demons for no reason... Although it is odd that Lilims were not considered demons but rather devils, I guess this is semantics since it's not that big a deal. Although from all the games I played in my past life, they are represented as demons.
Closing my eyes, time began to fly as I stared at Trygve through the walls pacing back and forth with sweat covering his brow. Snickering to myself, my eyes suddenly went wide as I saw a familiar face.
"Is he not the waiter that called me a simp? Ooh, that's why he looked familiar. Father and son, but why was he.... son of a bitch."
Narrowing my gaze, a cold chill filled the room, causing Silvia to stare,
"Arsene?" she called, but my mind continued raging as a vicious plan began to form.
Suddenly a knock echoed through my door as I watched Trygve along with his son step in. Bowing, Trygve apologized, "forgive me for my earlier behavior, Lord Snow... It was unbecoming."
remaining silent, I simply stared at his son with indifference. Noticing my silence, Trygve looked up before turning to his ashen son.
"So, you were not a waiter. How interesting, makes me think of what you were doing when my wife and I were having dinner? Care to explain?" I lightly asked as the air began to thin. A cold sweat began to fill the air as Zanris eyes began to glow with sin.
"I...I...I... you must have mistaken me, Lord Snow. I have never worked as a waiter in my entire life." He repisipercated in a hesitinte tone. "I am an Englehart. Doing such a thing would be..."
"Humble?" I interrupted with a smile, "crawling your way around with the rabble, but I shall take your word regarding this matter. Please have a seat so that we can discuss my terms."
Releasing a sigh of relief, I simply smiled, but Zanris was not fooled as she continued to stare deeply into her new prey.
"Oh, I almost forgot; what is your name?" I asked with an indifferent light masking the torment I was going to rain down his throat.
"Brerson Englehart."

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.

Leslie's Poems
This is a continuous collection of poems that I've written in chronological order, starting with the oldest and ending with the newest. This will be updated periodically and may have mass updates. More often than not, each poem either will be written in free verse or with zero adherence to traditional poem structure. Some poems may imply situations and actions that can be triggering or annoying, especially the earlier poems. I recommend skipping most of the ones from 2018-2019, or just not reading this at all if you feel it may hurt you. Please enjoy and read at your own discretion.

After his rebellion failed, Patrick and his team escaped to another world, thinking to be safe there, and live out what remained of their broken lives in whatever peace they might find.

With them they brought tales of war and chaos, the horrors of those who were left behind, and the ravenous hunger for blood of the Tyrant they thought they left behind. Unable to leave the new settlers to their fate, Patrick and his team take on the roles that are pushed onto them, some with enthusiasm, some with reluctance, all striving to build a better world than the one they left behind. They should have realized that portals that open once, can be opened again, and that what they thought they left behind, might one day catch up.
