Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene Chapter 267
Advertisement
Hiding the dark smile, I could not help but be impressed by the darkness within that man's soul. This is what I expect from those at the peak of humanity. The House of Scara will be my domain; their daughter is already within my hands. And they themselves will slowly fall into sin.
"Well said, but II could not have said it better myself."
"Hmph, I shall have a few hundred sent to you within the hours after set up," Torna coldly said to his wife trepidation. "Can we know the price you will ask?"
"Where is the fun in that Torna? I have never once told someone the price. When making a deal with me, simply be ready to pay the price. For that is what it means to deal with the Devil." I replied, taking a sip of the peachy tea. Feeling an endless load of qi of heaven and earth fill my dantian, I immediately began refining it. While its taste wasn't anything special, its effects were completely different.
"I shall prepare you a room within the City of Vesium. Our clan has an empty building within the center. You can use that; however, will you only deal or..."
"There will be more Items than you can imagine. And some will be exclusive to your clan. Like weapons that act like bows but shoot faster. We can prepare everything within a few hour's time." I explained, taking another sip when a wave of nausea once more gripped my soul.
Covering my mouth in haste, Zanris rushed towards me, checking up on my pulse and dantian with great concern. Waving her off, I sighed, "it's fine, just show me this city so I can begin." I hastily said, regaining my equilibrium.
"Are ok?" Siva asked with a hint of concern.

"Peachy," I replied
Not showing much concern, Torna arose, "Follow me then I shall show you where you will be station. As for your badge, we will procure one for you and Zan."
Following behind Torna, who seemed quite excited, I smirked. Coming to a large swirling vortex of azure energy within his office hidden behind a bookshelf, I turned towards Torna, who began to explain, "This is how we get around. You can only find these portals within the capital and major clans due to how complex they are. However, it's not quite stable enough to bring large items back, if any.
Taking a step in, Torna and Siva suddenly vanished into the azure portal. Turning to Zanris, who smiled, she nodded, "it's safe; just don't wave your arms." She said, leaping without care.
"And careless shit like that is how people in movies die. "
Taking a deep breath, I took a step in when my body was shot through a twirling misty tunnel. Shocked at the rainbow bridge at my side, my gaze suddenly narrowed at the entity with similar eyes staring back. Before I could say anything, everything vanished as I landed on one knee. Rising in a deep manner, my gaze grew cold and chill. Pulling out my phone, I texted Mare and Anya.
Me: Can anyone stop us from opening the bridges?
Anya: In theory, yes, but it will take a lot of time and a lot of know-how regarding space, formation, and a team of gods at every major bridge.
Mare: We could open the gates now if you feel worried.
I could, there is nothing stopping me from doing so, and it will make mass chaos, but I somehow feel like I should feel more excited about this. Hmmm, I know!

Me: No, do it when the King is speaking to Ezra.
Looking at my phone from the side, Zanris snickered, "Master is a little petty."
"I know, and I have no reason to be, but I just want to know how his face will get when he finds out that humans will no longer be the top of the food chain.
Noticing the strong looks from Torna and Siva, I placed my phone away, "it's a device that lets me communicate with people from all over the realm, and it's instantaneous." I explained, watching the sparkle within their eyes.
Hooking her arms through mine, Siva smiled, "Are you sure I cannot convince you to marry our daughter? With your help, I am sure Silvia will grow into a goddess amount those in Midgard.
"Yeah, I quite like my dick connected to my body. My wife is within the Realm of World. I am definitely not trying to piss her off. She would kill me than herself."
Pulling me along through the blasting streets, I suddenly gasped, finally taking note of the Japanese-style type of architecture. Like I had entered old japan, I shook in both joy and fright. Noticing my amazement, Siva snickered. "All of this was created by a man called Ren. He wanted to be reminded of his home, japan, so he had the entire city of Vesium remade. It was he who also gave us those cute blossoms."
Coming to a halt, I gasped at the Edo-style architecture filled with vibrant color. Turning my attention to Siva, I could not help but ask, "Where is he?"
"hmmm, He is now a sage that stays within the capital doing his own thing. Why do you ask?" Siva asked as my face chilled. "Do you know him?"
"And did he have some special power? Something that somehow separated him from everyone else?" I patiently asked, feeling excitement at a new pawn rising on my table.
Pulling arms away, both Torna and Siva stared at me in shock, "How did you know that? Only the three major houses know about that."
"Oh, little sister, it will seem you were quite busy. It looks like I have a fellow otaku in Midgard with me." I muttered with a deep smile.
"Master?"
"Arsene, how do you know about his power?" Torna coldly asked, his gaze glimmering with cold, killing intent.
"Because we are the same," I whispered in a demonic tone.
"You can copy any type of technique, and Arte?" Siva asked, making my smile even deeper.
"No, but my comprehension is one of the highest within Midgard, surpassing even the gods." I lightly stated, "That was the power I wanted."
Narrowing his eyes towards me, Torna frowned. "And your other power?"
"hmmm, you tell me his, and I tell you mine," I explained, lying through my teeth. Very few knew about my ability to adapt, and even if they did, none knew to the extent of which it worked.
"Swear to the Heavens," Torna stated
"I swear to the heavens not to lie when I tell you about my second power. However, I will only speak the truth if Torna does the same about Ren's power," I stated, laughing my ass off inwardly.
Fool! You have fallen into my trap card!

The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
