《Rise of the Lich!》Chapter 6 - Tomb of Alzu'rak Part 4*
Advertisement
Well, let’s ignore this ominous bad feeling for now. If what Yuna said is correct, I’m on the final floor of this dungeon right now. Let’s what I’ll find down here.
I walk to the door Yuna was leaning on. This huge door behind the little meat mountain that was once known as the Sword princes is covered in blood and gore. I try to push it open with my whole weight, but fail.
Does this door really have to be this big? It's at least six meters high and half as wide. I walk back a couple of meters and tackle the door with my whole strength.
* Crash *
…
Great, I shattered my shoulder and the door barley moved. After eating some more bones I decide to use magic in order to open this door, instead of breaking more of my bones. Oh yeah, while we're at it let's take a look onto all of my new spells!
Cold Chains
Summon Chains that have Cold touch infused within them, freezing the mana of your enemy.
Frost Time
Increases the damage done by Frost spells for a few seconds. 24 hours cooldown.
Ice Breath
Breath Cold winds out, which are able to freeze things. No costs.
Soul Shackle
Bind a Soul to the mortal World! This allows you to create Soulstones by infusing the soul into an empty mana crystal.
Ice Infusion
Infuse an Object with Ice, turning whatever magical or elemental damage it deals into frost damage.
By infusing a Soulstone with ice you can create a Cold-Soul
Lich Mastery (passive)
increases your Knowledge based on the Level of the skill. You level this skill by consuming Soulstones.
Interesting. The skills giving to me by my class are pretty simple and useful combat skills.
The Lich skills are pretty strange though. They all involve 'Soul Stones' in some way. I'm not sure how useful this is going to be since I have no idea what knowledge even does! I only know that high mages have this stat, but what does it do? Also, Cold-Soul? Doesn't this sound like my Title? What does a Cold-Soul do? I really need to do some experiments...

Anyway, let's get this door open.
“Freeze my Soul: Frost Time!”
After activating Frost Time, I use Ice Shards a couple of times until the door is open wide enough for me to slip right through it.
Then, I suddenly feel fear for a short amount of time until it gets burned away by the black flame of my hate. The reason this fear is obviously the 'Endboss' that stands in front of me. I have no idea what this abomination is supposed to be.
The boss is basically a huge centipede. Its body is made out of 50 or more humanoid torsos and each of his 100+ legs are made of 2 or 3 human legs and arms combined. Well I guess I now know what that madman I met a couple hours ago was doing down here.
This... thing is looking towards me right now. It actually has a single Head attached at the last torso. I don't know whose head this once was, but man was he ugly.
Did Yuna actually fight this thing? Alone?
What a fool.
I walk around the centipede in a big curve and walk towards the door in the back of the Boss room. Luckily, this door is a simple small wooden one. I open it and enter the room behind it. I find myself in a small corridor, splitting up at the end. I go the left way first. For those wondering, why left first? Because I know that the right way at the end of a dungeon is always the teleporter to get out.
After walking on the left way for a while I come across another room with an open door. The room inside is a simple study room with a lot of books and a skeleton lying on the ground. The skeleton is holding a book in his hands.
“Good day my sir! Sorry for interrupting your nap!”

…
“Sir? You alright?”
…
Okay, looks like he really is dead. I had to be sure! I don't want to face whoever made this dungeon. Well, let's take his book and take look inside.
You found the Tome of Sirius, Grand Necromancer of Alzu'rak! Do you want to Absorb it and acquire Sirius' name? Y/N
Absorb a book? Take over a name? I never heard of anything like that. Well, I guess Sirius is an okay name. Let's take it and hope I'll get anything out of it.
You took the name of Sirius! +1000 Knowledge!
Great, +1000 to a stat of which I have no idea what it's purpose is. Well better than nothing I guess.
For now, let's sit down and read those books here, it's not like I have anything better to do
This may take a while...
* Third Person POV *
Luciferius, King of the Demons is sitting on a round table. He takes a look at the other council members and frowns.
“We really need to do something about the missing spaces.” (Luciferius)
“You don't say, Fuck-Horne! And what have you planned? It's not like a replacement for Thortor is going to appear out of nowhere! And the Throne of Lust has been empty since ages!” (A small girl)
Luciferius ignores the insult that got thrown at him by the little vampire and continues speaking.
“Then we simply have to find new Kings!” (Luciferius)
“And how? They didn't just kill Thortor, they also made sure his whole race dies! And no embodiment of lust is able to survive very long!” (A Being made out of purple smoke)
“Then we just have to look for a new race to join our ranks! What about the Dulaiich? Or the Wights?” (Luciferius)
“No way the Wights are going to join us, those pale fuckers are way too dumb for an alliance!” (A small girl)
“Hm, the Dulaiich could be a pretty good option though.” (An old man)
“Ew, NO! I don't want those ugly shits crawling around here!” (A small girl)
“DAMN IT SAPHIRE! Could you stop swearing for once?! It's really unpleasant to see a little girl speak such words!” (An old man)
“Make me stop, bitch!” (a small Girl)
“Silence! We have to focus!” (Luciferius)
“Who the fuck are you, to tell me what to do?!” (a small Girl)
“She is indeed right, you do not lead us.” (A being made out of purple smoke)
“Yeah, why don't you shut up? Hihihi.” (A boy made out of shadows)
“I also dislike it to be yelled at” (An old Man)
“…” (Luciferius)
The Demon King closes his eyes and sighs, as he realizes that this going to be a long meeting.

Rise Of The White Dragon
June 15 of the year 2010, the third awakening happened. Several smaller worlds had returned to connect with the main world as living beings of different races started to appear and some people managed to connect with the origin and gain control of various powers: control of fire, of water, of wind, of air, and of earth… In the midst of all these confusions, towers that gave unimaginable powers began to appear in all corners of the world, where those who already had powers could upgrade and become more powerful or even those who did not have powers could receive powers through tests of the tower. And because of these towers, conflicts started to happen in all corners of the world by those wanting to monopolize these towers.

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)
