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!

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
