Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene Chapter 204
Advertisement
"My Lord," A soft, ephemeral voice from the void sounded as I rested upon my throne. Scrunching my brow, I shivered as I slowly opened my gaze.
It had been eons since I last felt the light upon my face or the voice of the gods upon me. Gazing at the young woman shivering as her body began to break apart, I closed my eyes once more.
"Why have you awaken me, Rae," I asked in a weak manner as my qi gradually began to flow through my body, slowly waking me from my long slumber.
Sensing the little thing bleeding from its pores, I opened my eyes, speaking once more, "You may use Qi within my presence."
With a thankful expression, all the injuries upon the young woman vanished as she released a breath of relief, "My lord, I was told to inform you of the upcoming war upon the Court of Nox. A message has been sent."
Narrowing my weary eyes, I smiled in contempt, "A message? So someone has issued a challenge." I asked in a mocking tone as Rae nodded in a fearful manner.
"It was sent by The Beast King and the Sleeping Sin." She said as my weariness vanished, rising from my throne. A ruthless area flooded my realm as I glared into Rea."
"What has happened while I was in slumber?" I coldly asked, feeling something was off. Two being as strong as the Kings of Hell left a message for the Court of Nox. How can that be?"
"It...it...it."
"Woman! Stutter one more time, and I shall have you fucked by an endless horde of mortal peasants!!! speak clearly." I roared as my killing intent began to flood my palace.
Biting her lips, Rae shivered as blood fell from her lips in streams. Her legs began to wain, and her fingers began to piece into her palms. Clenching her teeth, she didn't dare look into my eyes as I started to grow impatient.

"Many things have happened, my lord. After you went into slumber after the War of the Heavens, the Court of Nox started hunting Soulbenders. With the war of Demons and Devils, and War of the Heavens, many were fearful of what would happen next, so they hunted many soul benders.
Clenching my fist, a powerful rage began to fill my mind as the Dao of Slaughter began to fuel my will. Trying my hardest not to slaughter this fucking idiot. I released a feral breath sitting back upon my thone. Trying to mask my anger, yet the more I thought, the angrier I became.
"And? What does this have to do with this so call message left by Bahoment and Azeroth?" I viciously spat with disgust. Simply thinking of the pathetic actions of the Court I once help create.
"There is a being from the abyss, my lord, that has appeared, and she is a soul bender. We do not know how but she was a victim of our hunting."
Appearing in front of Rea in an instant, I clenched her throat tightly as she trembled within my clutches, "you fucking whore, did you approve these pathetic actions? Did you also join them in hunting my kind?"
Not hearing a response, I laughed, tightening my grip around the foolish woman who was also a member of the Court of Nox. "I raised you since you were but an infant, helping you rise out of the Mortal Realm to where you are now, yet you betray my trust and started hunting my kind. Is the fear of death so great, you would do such a thing?"
Looking down in shame, I felt the urge to stomp her head into mush but resisted the best I could, releasing her throat as she gasped for breath, "continue, girl but be wary of your next words. Lie about anything, and the Order of Shadows will notify me."
"Yes, your excellency," Rae fearfully begged, "This abyssal entity known as Lilith was apparently the adopted daughter of the true King of Hell, Lord Asmodeus."

"..."
Opening my mouth wide after a moment of silence, I held no words as my mind blanked for a moment. Placing my fingers upon my forehead, I didn't bother letting my rage rise as Rae continued.
"We found during a dinner party hosted by the king of demons that this Lilith was gathering an army of Demons and Devils to declare war, joining forces with the current celestial Kings Daugther Yura and Bahoments new disciple Arsene Snow. Both are soul benders and are leading the cause for Lilith."
"However, just recently, Bahoment and Azeroth attacked... Merlin is terribly injured, Zenitsu permanently lost his left arm, and Sylvanas is dead; as for Xin, he- he Baphomet broke his soul, turning him into a retard for life. There is no helping him he...he is done, my lord."
"They said the Abyssal War as officially started, my lord." She weakly whispered as I roared in laughter.
Clutching my stomach, tears began to fall as I looked towards heaven in despair, "What have you all done. Asmodeus, Leviathan, Bahoment, and now Azeroth, Plus all the fucking kings of hell." I roared as my eyes suddenly turned cold as ice.
"My lord NOOO!!!"
Stabbing my arm through her chest with a vicious flash of my palm, I watched as she gargled over her blood. Slowly removing her heart, the Dao of Destruction flashed as I destroyed it right in front of her, killing her instantly. Watching the life fade, I turned my back, sneering in disgust.
"Get me a full report and call the three other founders of Nox." I roared as my entire palace suddenly came to life. Fear, along with my wrath, quickly began to fill the palace as I could feel millions of slaves, guards, and members of my blood racing to follow my orders.
"No need to be so frightened, Lord Aeron." A voice from the shadows said as I glared into the darkness. " Things are not so bleak. Unlike before, we have a few princes and a certain king helping us. We could..."
"Are you brain dead? Has living so long made you so dull? Asmodeus rules hell!!! Do you truly understand the implications this brings?" I spat in anger as my qi began to pulse from my body.
"Not for long..."
"Fucking idiots, is this the new generations? ZELOS!!!!! YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!!"
Flickering out of my palace, I shot into the void, appearing before a large rift filled with the bodies of billions of strange-looking skeletons. These were some of the things that once attacked our realm, and this rift was the entrance of where it all began.
"Zelos," I coldly yelled as he shot me a complicated glare.
"I too was not aware, Aeron. Had I known..."
" Who is controlling the court?"
"It's too late, Aeron; it's far too late. The war has begun, and all we can do is watch like Asmodeus is doing the same. I do not believe he will interfere, but..."
"There is always a possibility." I weakly said, gripping my disheveled hair, "I will contact the Angels; maybe they can help. And I will also go see 'him' again.
Turning my gaze to Zelos, I frown at his wear appearance, "How much longer?" I asked in a caring manner."
"Soon, very soon," He whispered in a weak manner closing his eyes. I could feel his life force fading as time began to pass, yet here he stood.
Releasing a deep sigh, I bowed, "Rest well, my friend, you deserve it. Your Watch has been the saving grace of Our Omniverse."

Anton is a great-grandfather. He is living quite a happy life, despite his advanced age and declining health… until a group of cultivator bandits moves into the area.

The Eldritch Horror Returns to Earth, but Things are a Bit Different
One day, Adam B. Windsley was in this world, and then, he wasn't. Suddenly trasported into a strange world called Lutum, Adam finds himself in the body of a small, unassuming slug, and during the course of 600 years, he evolved beyond the scope of humans, becoming one of the Five Evil Gods, worshipped by his followers and treated as a God would. But he isn't happy. And after some time reaquainting himself with humans, he finds himself enjoying their company. But, in a sudden twist of events, he finds himself back in his own world. But he is still a giant tentacle-covered monstoristy. And where did these magical girls come from?... --------- In short, this is a story focusing on a somewhat edgy reincarnated-as-a-monster kind of guy who returned back to his world on the day of his transferral, only for strange, unusual things to happen. Monsters from his past world start popping up out of the blue, and ordinary people are suddenly learning of sorcery, becoming magical girls in the process. In terms of structure, it will mostly be about what happens to Adam after coming back, but at times, there will also be chapters focusing on Adam's life before his transferred, in chronological order. In other words, very typical isekai stuff. The chapters will be between 2000 and god-only-knows-how-many words and will be released every three days at 8 am, CST. I don't actually live in America so if chapter release is off by an hour or so, it's probably either because I messed up with the time, or because I was unable to finish a chapter on time-, The artwork on the cover belongs to yours truly, I drew it myself and I'm darn tootin' proud of it, and Omni is my dear co-writer who got me this far. Couldn't do it without him! With that said, I do hope you enjoy, as I did put way too much effort into it... Enjoy!

The Blight
Ten years ago, the Blight appeared. A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning. Then the disappearances started. At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travelers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest. When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began. Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all: Those who entered the forest, never returned. ...So what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger and remembering nothing but his own name?
