V2 Chapter 9-
Battlefield of Serpent Falls-
Sol grimly looked toward the Fire Titan Gorilla King, his words were like an anvil with every word falling onto the Fiery King's head.
[You wanted battle? It's right here, what are you waiting for? Or do Gods only know how to run their mouths?] -Sol
Faced with this level of provocation, how could the Fiery King remain still?
[IGNORANT HUMAN!!!! Do you think a God is an existence you can fathom? I've heard enough of your arrogant mouth!] -Fire Titan Ape King
The Fire Titan Gorilla King grabbed onto his Willow Ember Spear whose tip became doused in flames. His entire body erupted into the flames and his aura expanded and engulfed the surrounding area! This was the aura of a Fire God!
[Ahh!!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
*BOOM*
[Flaming Piercer!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
The Fiery King let out a terrifying howl as flames exploded from his feet and he dashed madly towards Sol at an incredible speed with his spear pointed toward him! Where ever he passed left a trail of flames in his wake crashing about wildly!
Seeing this, Sol's expression did not change and instead he placed the wind-horn in his runic ring and gripped the hilt of the Heavy Sword with both hands. His emerald aura in full bloom, he looked viciously toward the King.
[Ahhh!] -Sol
Sol crouched his body as both his hands moved behind him, the heavy sword implanted into the ground and was prepared for a full swing. Green Flames erupted from his feet as he twisted his body and rotated in the air shooting forward!
An imaginary image of an Emerald Poisonous Flaming Serpent covered his body as he moved to meet the Fiery King! This time, the imagery serpent had a horn on it's head! This time the imagery was much bigger, much more clear and several times more powerful than it's original [Infernal Piercing Fang]. These were the effects from ranking his Dantian up to the Second Order Rank.
[Infernal Venom Piercer!] -Sol
*BOOM*
Sol shot forward with his Heavy Sword in his hands, as the Fiery King rushed forward to meet the Imaginary Flaming Serpent!
*BANG*
*DRRR*
A terrible drilling sound echoed out as the flames clashed and Sol's attack met the Fiery King's! Surprisingly Sol took a few steps back but the King was thrown a few meters! He looked at Sol dumbfoundedly, he looked down at the edge of his Willow Ember Spear which was trembling as if it had been hit by a mountain and forcefully stopped it with his hand.
Sol then lifted a hand off the Heavy Sword holding it with one hand, he flicked it effortlessly to the side creating waves of dust to fly and a slight emerald light wave issued out cutting the ground fiercely.
Seeing this the Fire Titan Gorilla King's expression changed, of all the Ape species, his was not the one known for strength and he wasn't as muscular as the other species. However, being a God-Ranked he should have more than been able to come out on top in the previous exchange against a human of 2nd Order Warrior.
However, it was not so. The human before him possessed a terrifying natural strength, the kind that made the Fiery King gaze at him solemnly. He had now truly seen Sol as an enemy after this exchange and no longer possessed the same naive gaze. He understood he would have to fight with his life on the line if he wanted to escape and survive.

The two looked at one another and it was obvious, a fight to the death had just begin. Sol immediately kicked off the floor and charged toward him, the latter did not sleep either and approached viciously with his spear in hand his body ablaze like an inferno!
*CLANG* *CLANG*
Sparks flew wildly as the Heavy Sword was engulfed in green flames and savagely chopped down towards the Fiery King! The Fiery King and his Willow Ember Spear cloaked in flakes pierced the air to meet the blade! The Spear rotated in his hands giving even more fire power as he matched up to Sol's absurd power!
*BOOM* *BOOM*
Every exchange made the explosions engulf the entire fields in green and red fire! The Fiery King had to utilize all of his strength and his Fire Affinity to match Sol's raw power and his expression was unsightly!
Sol similarly clenched his teeth fiercely, this was not an easy run! Not only was the Fiery King powerful, but he had incredible agility as well; one that matched Sol's speed! Sol's arms felt like they were going numb from the collisions but he was not the only one and because he could see the unsettling eyes of the Fiery King it only fueled him to swing harder!
*BOOM* *BOOM*
Sparks flew everywhere, as it set fire to the surroundings and what made the the Fiery King even more angered, was that Sol attacked Fire Titan Ape soldiers in between exchanges! He would release and Infernal Acid Beam whenever he retreated and drag it in a 180 Degree angle, or he would angle himself in such a manner that the explosions created from the collisions would get a few Fire Titan Ape soldiers involved!
The Twin Basilisk were connected to Sol by the soul and knew exactly when Sol was going to release an attack in their direction and would purposefully bring the Apes toward him!
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
The carnage continued as the explosions of fire filled the air and destroyed the earth and killed anything that was within it's radius! The Gods in battle across the field couldn't help but cast their gazes over.
(Is...that really Sol?..Such incredible battle power..) -Old Black
Old Black knew that Sol was growing powerful but she had no idea it was to this extent, this made her extremely happy! She wouldn't have to worry about him dying easily and seeing the confident look on his face made it so that she could focus on her own battle completely!
(Hehehe! Rip him to shreds! Go Go Go!) -Glowy
Glowy in comparison was beaming, she wasn't surprised at all that he could show such fierceness. She remembered the time she tried to scare him and his response was incredibly cold! She knew for sure Sol was special and seeing him like this made her incomparably excited.
The Ape Gods on the other hand were surprised as they looked at a 2nd Order Warrior battling a God. Though he was a newborn God even a Saint shouldn't be able to withstand his blows, it simply didn't make sense to them.
(...Is he really a human?..That doesn't look like a human to me. It seems Yulivashjr was raising a demon inside those waterfalls) -Iron Stone Ape King
The Iron Stone Ape King looked at Sol with a dangerous gaze, the Storm Wind Ape King wasn't at all feeling well as he looked at Sol; he had a tinge of fear in his eyes.
(Those stinking mutant hybrids! I knew it! I wasn't wrong to try to flee! These guys always defy logic!) -Storm Wind Ape King

The battle continued without their thoughts and eventually returned to their own battles.
**
The Fiery King had no choice but to increase his persistence and charge strongly to keep Sol occupied; otherwise he would suffer more losses! This of course costed him all of his concentration and power! Finally the Fiery King began to see an opening!
All of a sudden, Sol's blows had started becoming surprisingly weaker until finally his arms flung backward in a defeated manner; though he still remained clenching the Heavy Sword. Sol had a surprised expression on his face as he looked at the Fiery King! Seeing this the Fiery King smiled maliciously as he quickly closed the distance and thrust his rotating blazing spear at Sol's heart!
(How could he match me in power! The thought of it is too absurd! He must have been using more than his full strength just to match me!! Now that his body can no longer sustain it, the difference between us is beginning to show! It's time to end this!) -Fiery Titan Ape King
A fire erupted from his feet and he blasted forward with his rotating spear! This time he had seen an opportunity to kill and went at it all out, an intense fire blasted out from his fur and his entire body became covered in flames increasing his speed tenfold! He immediately closed in on Sol and executed his attack!
[Burning Madness Thrust!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
However, Sol's surprised face only lasted for a second as his lips cruelly curved upward and a mischievous light flickered in his gaze! The Fiery King instantly had a bad premonition but he had faith in his technique! He wasn't a God-Ranked for nothing and instead increased the power to a maximum!
*SHLING!*
Suddenly an ear-piercing sharp sound like a blade being unsheathed rung out, Sol's both arms came from both sides chopping downwards at a terrifying speed in a scissor like manner! It was then the Fiery King had noticed the Heavy Sword had split in two and became two overbearing Heavy Twin blades!
The Heavy Twin Blades looked absolutely terrifying cloaked in a dark green glint as they lit up and gave off a deathly aura! A sharp killing intent emerged from the blades as a savage hiss echoed from them. The image of an emerald serpent enclosing on the Fiery King's neck created from the Heavy Twin Blades appeared making the Fiery King's face go pale.
This attack was a fusion of only Light and Poison, Sol sacrificed the extra damage for absolute speed! For a split second the blades moved at the speed of light towards the Fiery King's neck! The King could only shift his body a tiny bit avoiding
certain death!
At the same time his burning spear came thrusting towards Sol's heart! Sol initiated [Tyrannical Illusionist] and immediately shifted his body to the side in an abnormal manner to similarly avoid death surprising the Fiery King.
[Light Acid Cross-Fang] -Sol
*SLISH*
*SHHH*
[AHHHHHHHHHH!!!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
[Ahh!] -Sol
The Fiery King cried out in agony as the blades of emerald light cut an "X" into his chest! The Willow Ember Spear missed Sol's chest entirely but still seared a bad injury on his left arm, the bone could even be seen! Sol grimaced in pain as he once more rejoined The Heavy twin Blades into a Heavy Sword and held it in his right arm, his left arm was too badly damaged to support the weight!
Through their soul connection his Soul Beasts knew of his wound both Hydrian and Hydreas became unsightly, they snapped savagely as they took it out on the S-Rank Fire Titan Gorillas and started killing them in more ruthless ways. Vritra also coldly looked at the Fiery King and were it not for Sol's orders his; he would have already drowned that Fiery Ape in his fog.
Old Black and Glowy were God-Ranks and were able to recognize the life-forms around them even during battle, it wouldn't cost much to split a bit of attention to their surroundings and naturally they were keeping an eye on Sol and the overall situation; this could also be said for the Ape Gods.
Old Black and Glowy were incredibly angered as they smelled Sol's searing flesh, yet they continued to battle the Ape Gods and their viciousness increased! Sol told them no matter what, they should never come over and have faith in him.
The Storm Wind Ape King and the Iron Stone Ape King expressions were extremely ugly, they were counting on the Fire Titan Ape King to pin down the Dark Emerald Naga and perish along with it. Now that the human was fighting on par with the Fire Titan Gorilla King and the Dark Emerald Naga was allowed to roam free, how could they relax?
Every time they would have the upper hand on Old Black or Glowy, the Dark Emerald Naga would intervene and walk by. They didn't doubt for a second it would explode it's gas and immediately always retreated.
The poison fog created from Sol was something else entirely and they realized it a bit too late, the poison Sol had created wasn't one that was very lethal; it had another specialization. It was created to invoke excruciating pain. It was because of that they subconsciously stayed in the circle and did not question it's toxicity. Sol called this poison "Festive Night of the Skeleton King".
However, that was that and the Dark Emerald Naga's poison was completely different. Vritra's poison was designed to kill and they knew if they entered it's range, it only had to activate it's fog and this entire war would be over with the death of the two of them. After all if all the Kings died, the rest would crumble.
[AHHHHHHHH!!!!] -Fire Titan Ape King
Suddenly the Fiery King started madly screaming as he gripped his chest and fell to floor rolling around in utter agony and horror. The wound itself wasn't deep at all, however he had been hit with a direct concentrated pure dose of Sol's pain receptive poison and his nerves were going haywire!
[...You call yourself a King and a God and whine with just this?] -Sol
Hearing Sol's mocking voice the King flew up in rage clenching his chest, his eyes burning with a dreadful fire. Sol's stance was weird and different from before, his right arm was visible with the Heavy Sword facing forward; but his left arm was hidden behind his figure.
The Fiery King understood Sol was heavily wounded and had lost 50% of his capabilities by his losing the use of his arm, after all he knew the power of his strike and he saw the dreadful wound himself. The poison finally subsided and the Fiery King regained his balance shrugging off the wound on his chest.
Now that the poison had subsided it was clear that Sol had gotten the worse end of the deal and the differences were beginning to show. Sol had a terrible injury, but the Fiery King had only experienced pain and had a light wound.
Strange enough, Sol's expression had not change from start to beginning and this truly infuriated the Fire Titan Gorilla King. He wanted to see Sol in despair and agony like he had been, he wanted to rip out his throat and set him on fire and could not stand that all-knowing look from such a young human.
As the Fiery King thought these things, Sol lifted his Heavy Sword in the air with one hand and assumed a running position very similar to the one from Earth. His feet dug into the ground as damaged left hand gripped the ground and his body arched downward.
[He's going to throw it? Hahaha What does he take me for?? He think I'll stand here and receive it? Can he even lift it with his current strength? Just a bit more and I can have his head] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
Sol's eyes flashed as his pupils burned with a green fire, the serpent characteristics making themselves known. Sol immediately shot forward, the muscles in his body expanded and contracted like steel vines storing a vast amount of power! His Dantian revolved intensely as the Light Affinity and Fire Affinity merged together within the Heavy Sword!
The muscles in his right arms flared up showing their unique traits of unparalleled power and released the hilt like a glow of glorious emerald light! A green flame erupted from the hilt which increased it's speed and sent it rotating and increasing it's penetrative power and overall speed and accuracy!
[Acid Illuminus Spear!] -Sol
The flying green bolt of light seemed like the death order of a Death God as it streaked through the skies toward the Fiery King! The Illusion imagery of an Emerald Serpent bathed in a glorious emerald light emerged as it streaked toward the Fiery King!
The Fiery King's gaze become solemn as he saw this abnormal attack! He knew all too well humans capable of creating imaginary images when fighting were absurdly powerful and required a fierce sort of insight! He dared not receive this move lightly!
[Heart of Flame!!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
Suddenly a heavy thick fiery aura, stronger than he had ever produced exploded from the Fiery King as his gaze became terrifying.
[I will go all out as well, I will show you your place you abomination of a thing!!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
The Fire Titan Gorilla seemed to be the incarnation of a Flame God as his body became covered in this thick heavy lava like fire!
[Come human! You are powerful, I give you that! That's why I won't look down on you any further! I will show you the difference between a man and a God!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
His aura reached a supreme high as his surroundings went up in an inferno! The other Gods seeing this had a look of surprise as they didn't think Sol would push him so far! Heart of Flame was a suicidal tactic that made one burn at their utmost limits! The Fire Titan Gorilla had long decided this was a battle he would have to bet his life on!
*SSRRRRINGG*
The sound of the Emerald spear of light piercing the air went flying towards the Fiery King! This time his entire Willow Ember Spear was lit up in a thick flame lava, fire exploded from his feet as he rushed forward to meet it!
At the same time before the collision, Sol's eyes shined and his body became cloaked in an emerald light! Cell by cell, every single part of Sol's body became fused with the Light and Poison elements!
In a flash he shot forward at the speed of light for a split second! His body became cloaked in this aura, imaginary skulls started appearing within the fog over his body giving off an appearance of horror and evil intentions!
[Decaying Ghost Phantom!] -Sol
Sol in a flash like an green ghost appeared right behind the Emerald spear of light, which was his thrown heavy sword! He hid behind it's grandeur aura and thick light and approached like a ghost in the night! For a split second his body had became like a phantom as it moved forward blades of grass flew directly through his torso and decayed before it ever made it out!
The Fiery Titan King had his eyes focused on the incoming thrown attack and when he noticed that Sol had approached he was greatly startled, it was much too late and he decided to disregard the incoming deadly projectile! The Fiery King decided to give up on defense completely and allow the thrown heavy sword to pierce his chest all in order to kill Sol!
(Approaching unarmed?! What do you take me for?! Do you believe I'd die by this attack alone?! Foolish human!) -Fire Titan Gorilla King
He believed if anyone of them would survive, it would be him! After all he was a God and a single impale through the chest wouldn't be enough to kill him, and this was correct! His gaze became filled with madness as he changed direction of his spear!
The Fiery King's aura shot up even more as he thrust his rotating flaming lava-like spear towards Sol's chest ignoring the thrown weapon! With his spear came a terrible inferno that threatened to burn everything in it's part as it pierced the air!
[Red Star Piercing!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
One thing became sure to every spectator watching this battle, that was these ruthless and savage attacks would reveal the winner of this battle!
Suddenly a cold and detached voice issued out from Sol's mouth, loud enough for the Fire Titan Gorilla King to hear which surprised him greatly!
[Break!] -Sol
*SRRING*
(Could it be...?) -Fire Titan Gorilla King
Indeed his horrors were true as he looked at the variation attack!
(Intelligent Weapon!!) -Fire Titan Gorilla King
He had thought at most it would be a Sentient Weapon, Intelligent Weapons were used by humans and were very very rare, After all how many Gods would want to willingly put their Souls in a Weapon? Never had he expected to encounter one and when he noticed it was much too late!
Suddenly the imaginary Emerald Serpent separated in two as the Image of a Winged Golden-Blooded Basilisk Queen appeared! One could faintly see the Heavy Sword had been split in two and the Dual Twin Heavy Blades emerged and turned into the illusionary fangs of this emerald colored Winged Golden-Blooded Basilisk Queen!
The horrifying part, was that the hilts of these Dual Blades each had an eye that fit perfectly and made one feel as though they were indeed looking at a living creature! These eyes were indeed that of the Basilisk Queen!
[Noo!!!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King]
The Fire Titan Gorilla King cried out in agony as he noticed the blades changed direction and went for his neck and head! It made his suicidal attempt fail and in a fit of rage, using all his strength and speed and pushing his body to the maximum; he lifted his spear to meet them both!
*BANG*
*BANG*
All though this took time to describe it all happened in a moment, and flowed like water! It was an incredible high speed battle!
As soon as the Fire Titan Gorilla King deflected both attacks, the Heavy Dual Blades flung off into the Sky wrapped in red fire! He had won the confrontation and just as he was about to fire another strike to end Sol, he noticed an emerald silhouette had long closed in on him and was directly in front of his chest!
[Coiling Illuminus Serpent Strike!] -Sol
Surprisingly Sol's left arm which was damaged and hidden behind him shot forward! His palm lit up in an emerald light as it shot forward at the speed of light for a split second! Within it a round shell, with words scribbled on it!
(WHAT?! Was that arm not destroyed?!) -Fire Titan King
He had been caught off-guard!
*BANG*
Sol's palm fiercely landed on the Fiery King's chest! More precisely, the center of the "X" mark he cut open on King's flesh driving the round shell within it! A few cracking noises were heard!
The Fiery King was pushed backward into the sky! Though he didn't receive much damage from the strike, it still threw him off balance! Seeing this Sol's eyes lit up as he spun his body in an abnormal manner and kicked the wrist of the Fiery King's spear wielding arm disarming him completely!
(How can this kid have such battle prowess!! Is he not a young human!!) -Fire Titan Gorilla King
The Fiery King immediately became angered and his lava-like hand shot forward with incredible speed and pierced a hole in Sol's right shoulder completely destroying it! A huge amount of blood spurted out from Sol's shoulder as he was unable to dodge, however not a sound was heard!
As the Fiery King noticed Sol's gaze in mid-air of absolute coldness and devoid of emotion, he immediately became pale! Naturally this was Sol's Predatorial State that he activated at crucial moments!
*Grip*
Sol gripped onto the hand of the Fiery King which was lit up like lava, ignoring his searing hands and he did not let go at all! The Fiery King felt as if he were being held by a giant!
(What terrible strength!) -Fire Titan Gorilla King
There was not a single pained expression as Sol completely shut out that emotion! What's more, a green fireball gathered at Sol's lips as his enlarged canines condensed mana and merged poison into the fireball! A sliver of a smile surfaced on his lips as he looked at the Fire Titan Gorilla King-
His mouth produced a green orb of light which flashed brightly in a soul-like green! His Dantian charged and revolved as it issued out the commands and Sol mercilessly released his Triple Affinity attack at point blank range!
[Infernal Acid Beam!] -Sol
*BOOM*
The silhouette of the Fiery King covered in green fire flew backward, twisting in the air and collapsed on the floor! As mesh of skin on his chest revealed terrible burn marks and a fist sized hole in his chest, however it had missed his heart! Or rather he managed to dodge at the last second
[..ugh..] -Fire Titan Ape King
The Fire Titan Gorilla King struggled to stand, and blood leaked from his lips but a smile was on his face. He knew that he survived, so he thought the human was probably dead from his attack or close to being there. Sol knelt on the floor, a dark expression on his face and no one could make it out as a great amount of blood leaked from his shoulder which had a terrifying hole.
Old Black and Glowy became extremely worried and wanted their battles to end quickly and got even more savage with the Ape Gods, but the Iron Stone Ape King had revealed himself to be a Peak-Rank God just like Old Black and the battle had become a terrible stalemate between them!
Hydrian and Hydreas had not yet finished killing the Peak S-Ranks and were very much in danger themselves as the Peak S-Ranks were no pushovers either and started coming up with plans to deal with the overpowering twins!
The twins eyes had become red as their hatred boiled to the extreme and had sinister expressions! They could feel Sol's condition and knew that the attack had damaged him badly! However, deep within their eyes was a sense of security as they knew he wouldn't die easily.
[Hahaha In the end you are indeed just a human with empty words, to think you could defeat a God, how foolish. Now your end has come, tell me what have you for last words?] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
The Fiery King had a malicious look on his face as he looked at Sol, his fire had already cauterized the wounds on his chest and his expression looked better. As a God-Ranked he had quite the terrifying vitality and wouldn't be killed so easily, but this is exactly what Sol was counting on; he wanted to see his masterpiece in full bloom.
Suddenly an eerie laughter erupted, a cold and terrible laughter, a laughter so sinister it made the hairs on the apes who heard it shiver. They felt as if a serpent had approached behind their necks and gently placed it's fangs on their carotid, at the same time a horrible baleful aura and dense killing intent flooded out. This terrible laughter caused a moment of silence of the battlefield as it was just too chilling.
All eyes rested on Sol, he lifted his head and stared deeply into the eyes of the Fire Titan Gorilla King. Sol's eyes were colorful, but at this moment; it seemed dark, dark as the blackest night. This, was not the Predatory State but actual killing intent so powerful it did not fit someone of Sol's strength.
This sort of killing intent shouldn't fit a human it should be from an ancient beast that was soaked in the blood of countless souls, at least this is what most of beings present thought; yet it originated from Sol. This was also his inheritance from the ancient beast that claimed him as a descendant, the inheritance of a being that had slaughtered countless souls.
[Haha ..Hahaha ... haha First of all, I apologize, Second of all, thank you for being the first] -Sol
Sol gave a horrifying smile to the Fiery King and spoke again in this devilish tone.
[Please do not curse my name when you roam in the depths of hell, for I will give you an escort unlike any other. Today you will personally be welcomed by the undead king in the realm of the forgotten and join their ranks. Be brave little monkey, and try not to kill yourself before you die] -Sol
As Sol spoke these words, the Fiery King first became terrified and he took a step back unconsciously. For a split second he had felt that Sol was like an ancient predator in slumber that happened to cast it's gaze on him and then immediately ignored him.
The green glint in Sol's eyes were just too disturbing and it ignited his fear! Just as he was about to stab his Willow Ember Spear through Sol in fury and shame, Sol's right hand lit up a dark green; he made a hand symbol and the King felt his heart clench!
So tight!
The Fiery King fell to his knees and his pupils contracted! Suddenly a howl of anguish issued out across the battlefield.
[Ahhhhhhhh!! Ahh! Ahhh!!! Ahhhh!!!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
The Fiery King rolled on the floor and clawed at his chest as veins of dark color sprouted and bulged over his body! His howls of pain echoed out throughout the battlefield, even the other Ape Gods stared with sweat pouring on their heads! To make a God give off such an unsightly appearance was terrifying for proud beings such as them, not to mention the howls of immense pain and agony.
The loud howls continued for about 30 minutes as the Fire Titan Gorilla King possessed powerful vitality and it worked against him!
[Ahh!..Ahhh!...Ahhhhhh!!!! Kill me!! Kill me!! Kill me please!!!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
His eyes had already became red and his hands flailed about till it finally found his spear! As soon as he touched it, he sent it impaling towards his heart in a hurry!
*BANG*
However, it went flying as it had been kicked out of his hand!
[WHO?!!...YOU!!!] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
As the King looked up, he saw Sol's darkened face and could only see his eyes which were also on the border of death giving off a chilling green glint. Suddenly the Fiery King became delirious and terrified as he looked behind Sol-
Behind him, the imaginary image of a huge horrible and sinister skeleton appeared bringing about a black darkness as the day instantly changed into night! It wore black lavish clothing and wore jewels on it's bony fingers that were tinged green as if it had grasp countless souls!
It's also possessed horrifying green eyes that were much much more colder and sinister than Sol's! On it's head, a large jeweled crown made of bones sat majestically; further emphasizing the evil grandeur of this King.
On it's face, a few cracks in it's jaw made it look as if it were smiling; as it's sharp jagged teeth that glittered like diamonds showed themselves! A horrifying smile that made Old Black look like a herbivore. It's arms were stretched outward toward the Fiery King as if inviting him.
What made it even more soul-shattering was the fact that behind the frightful undead Skeleton King was a portal of soul-green color. Skulls emerged from it wailing in anguish and pain, when they nearly got out a few skeleton hands would reach out and they were pulled back in.
As the Fiery King saw this image, he had forgot to scream from the pain of the poison and could only look at this image like a child would look at it's most horrid nightmare.
[..You devil...] -Fire Titan Gorilla King
Steam rose from Sol's shoulder as he walked off leaving the Fiery King to stare at the unknown, shortly after the Fiery King died with a horrid expression plastered on his face. It was as if on his death, he had seen the most frightful existence and whether it was the poison or the shock that killed him, no one would know.

8 237Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.
8 204The Light Within the Sharingan
Mitsu Hatake is none other than Kakashi Hatake's only daughter, but what happens when she graduates from the Academy and becomes a Ninja herself? What happens when she finds herself falling for the one person she never imagined she would? Join Mitsu in her tragic and somewhat hilarious adventures through growing up, making enemies and becoming the best Ninja she could possibly be, whether that means her entering light or darkness.
