《Rise of the Lich!》Chapter 18 - New Power*
Advertisement
“Dragons have a very unique mating behavior. As soon as a female dragon finds a male partner she binds him to her, so that he may never leave her alone. It's pretty strange that female dragons take the lead in mating, considering that male dragons tend to be stronger than the female ones.
After binding the male to them they'll spent the rest of their life together. Beautiful, isn't it? Dragons only have one partner for their whole life! I wished we humans would behave like this... I sometimes still have nightmares about my Ex-wife betraying me.”
-From Jeff Rutherions 'Dragons are cool!'
*Sirius POV*
I slowly drift out of my sleep and slowly open my eyes. I still want to know how this works.
Hm?
Somehow, I feel like I already had this conversion inside of my head. Anyway, after opening my eyes one of the fairies comes flying towards me.
“My Lord! You have finally awoken!” (Rot)
Rot seems kind of different... Ah, my head really hurts. I can't get a single straight thought inside my skull and my vision is blurry as well.
“Sirius is awake?!” (Aya)
Was that Aya? All I can see is a blurry black silhouette. Oh yeah, her armor is black now, I almost forgot. It also looks like more fairies are flying towards me. All of them look kind of strange...
“Are you feeling alright lord?” (Grau)
“Don't worry Grau. I'm pretty sure he was just drunk or something.” (Schwarz)
“Who is unconscious for two weeks because of getting drunk?!” (Grau)
“Master really can't hold his liquor.” (Schwarz)
“Shut up, Schwarz! Stop joking around! Lord, are you alright?” (Rot)
“I'm not sure. Fuck, I feel dizzy as hell. What happened?” (Sirius)
“You just fainted! I have no Idea why, but after creating this dungeon you just fell over and lost consciousness.” (Rot)
“…I think I had a dream. Oh right. I remember again. I met ‘him’, didn’t I? Status.” (Sirius)
-Status- Name: Sirius Class: Pride Lord Level: 741 / 1500 Race: Undead Monster Classification: Lesser Noble lich Title: Frozen Soul Divine Protection: Lucifer, Primal God of Pride Attribute: Chaos (Frost, Darkness, Death) Follower: 3 Spouses None Health: 12690 / 12690 Mana: 66300 / 66300 Strength: 1259 Dexterity: 1237 Vitality: 1269 Endurance: 1262 Intelligence: 6630 Knowledge: 2932
Now that's one Nice status-screen. My stats have all pretty much doubled because of all of those levels I got. It seems like I lost my bonus intelligence though... Most likely because of the change to my class. Also, who the fuck changed my Class? Well, let's hope it comes with a few useful skills... What is this class name anyway? It sounds more like a title instead of a class.

Oh?!
My attribute changed into a Chaos attribute! Those are incredible rare. Chaos pretty much just means that you have more than one attribute. Seems like I got Frost, Death and Darkness. That's a pretty nice Combination. Death will make sure I've got minions to do the mindless work for me and Darkness will give me great destructive power, while Frost's going to provide me with utility. Let's take a look at my new Skills.
Skillname Level Noble Undead (passive) Max. Soul Devourer 490 / 10.000 Elementary Frost Magic Max. Intermediate Frost Magic Max. Advanced Frost Magic 6 / 15 Proud Lord(passive) Max. Proud Chains 1 / 15 Chaos Time 1 / 5 Soul Link 1 / 10 Soul Shackles 4 / 5 Ice Infusion Max. Lich Mastery (passive) 85 / 100 Elementary Dark Magic 7 / 10 Elementary Necromancy 7 / 10
Yeah, it changed. Let’s hope it changed to the better. Let's see what those skills do.
Noble Undead
You are more than a puny mindless minion. This skill gives you the same effects as 'Undead' but also adds a noble and dignified aura to you.
Proud Lord (passive)
Your class will grow stronger and evolve every time you max out all of its skills.
Proud Chains
A Stronger Version of Cold Chains. These Chains will not only freeze the mana of your victims but also decrease the Stamina regeneration by 4% per Sill Level.
Chaos Time
Increases the Power of all magic that is associated with your Attribute for a few seconds.
Soul Link
You are now able to put a soul into an Undead created by you. The Soul will increase the Undead strength and give him a personality. It will also allow him to level and evolve regularly. Stronger Undead need stronger souls and Stronger Souls will need Stronger Undead.
Interesting.
Proud Chains and Chaos Time are just stronger versions of the Frost Mage skills. Proud Lord seems really nice though. There are very few Classes that can actually grow in strength, so having one is pretty useful.
Now, Soul Link on the other hand is more than just interesting! So, I can't only create undead that would just simply follow my commands mindlessly but also intelligent ones? I wonder if I can create more lichs as well. Would be pretty helpful. Maybe I should start building an army of intelligent undead? Let's do thi-
“He's awake for one minute and already starts his inner monologue-shit again!” (Schwarz)
“Don't be rude! You know he's condition...” (Grau)
“Yeah! We already had this conversation! We should pity him instead of getting angry!” (Rot)

“I swear to go, I'll kill you all one day!” (Sirius)
Those fucking fairies... come to think of it, what happened with all of my followers?!
“Oi, Rot! Why do I only have three followers left?!” (Sirius)
“Because all the other fairies besides us joined your dungeon.” (Rot)
“Don't worry my lord! We will never leave you!” (Grau)
“…” (Sirius)
“““…“““ (fairies)
“Please leave.” (Sirius)
“““Never!””” (fairies)
“Anyway, what do you mean with 'my' dungeon? If I'm not mistaking bird-brain Aya over there is the Endboss!” (Sirius)
“That may be true, but you are the Dungeon Master! As long as you are alive this Dungeon will never be destroyed and every creature inside that dies will be resurrected after a fixed period of time.” (Grau)
“What does bird-brain mean?” (Aya)
“Hm? But I once found the Corpse of a Dungeon Creator inside of his own Dungeon...” (Sirius)
“Well you don't have to be the Dungeon Master forever. You can give the rights to someone else anytime.” (Rot)
“I see. So, you said I was out for two weeks? What happened to the elves that chased me?” (Sirius)
“They left after half of them died inside the Dungeon.” (Rot)
“Those idiots should have left after realizing that their precious sacred ground turned into a Dungeon!” (Schwarz)
The feeling of dizziness starts to slowly leave me and the blurry world once again becomes a bit clearer. I look closer at Rot and the others to see how they changed.
All three of them grew in size and have creepy patterns on their small wings. The pattern on Rots wings look like creepy eyes. Schwarz has skulls on her wings and Grau bones. Did they evolve? Rot notices me looking at her and starts snickering.
“Hehe, like what you see my lord? We all evolved after you did! We are Sin Fairies now!” (Rot)
Sin Fairies? Well I guess that at least means that they are all stronger now, right? I hope so, after all they are going to follow me from now on...
I have a really bad feeling about this.
Now I wonder if my appearance changed as well. I stand up and take out the small mirror I got from Rons Girlfriend. It's incredible how it's already been two month or so...
I look into the mirror and am surprised. First of all, I got bigger. I was about 180 centimeters before but now I'm at least 210 centimeters high! I'm also a lot less bony now. Well I'm still made out of bones but they are thicker, which makes it look like I'm muscular under my clothing. Speaking of clothing, I'm still wearing Rons black leather armor. It's pretty dirty and broken now... I really need new clothes.
The biggest change is my Head though. First of all, those glowing orbs that I call my eyes are now three colored. The sclera which are usually white, are black for me now. My iris is colored in a very dark purple. The usually black pupils in the center of my eyes are pale blue, almost white. My canines got a bit shorter but are still quite long.
The strangest thing are my Horns though...
Yeah, I have horns now. Five horns grow out of my head, two come out of my temples and three out of my forehead. They all curve upwards at first and very slightly inwards after that. They kind of look like... a crown? Yeah, they really do.
Interesting.
I guess I really became a Noble, huh?
All I'm missing is a powerful staff and some Royal Robes and I'm a perfect undead king!
I would also need an army or something.
*Third person POV*
“HAHAHA WHAT DID I TELL YOU GUYS?” (Demon King)
“…” (Magic King)
“…tch!” (Blood Queen)
“Hehehihihi” (Shadow King)
“Didn't I tell you guys he's going to be great?! Look at him! He enters a place, filled with minions of a Higher God and turns the whole thing into a dungeon! We need to make him a king!” (Demon King)
“That fucker probably just got lucky! He's also still too weak and doesn't even have a fucking kingdom. How is he supposed to be a king with no followers?!” (Blood Queen)
“I have to agree with her.” (Magic King)
“Oh yeah, because we are such great kings right now, huh? How great are all of our kingdoms again? Marry is the only one right now that can actually be called royal right now, so shut up!” (Demon King)
“…Well, he still needs to rule something if he wants to join. That’s our oldest rule.” (Magic King)
“Just you Guys wait! I'm sure he's going to keep on growing and also find him a place to rule over. After all man with power never rest!” (Demon King)
“Haven't you been resting for the last couple of years asshole?!” (Blood Queen)
“...” (Demon King)

Dreamer/Leveler
Zachary Trenner is a freshman at Burlington High School. Despite his mundane appearance and advanced course curriculum, something strange is happening to him. Every time he goes to sleep he switches worlds. Portals are popping up everywhere, allowing access between Earth and the world of Vera. Now he must spend every waking and sleeping moment getting stronger to fight off the [Instance Dungeons] opening on both Vera, and Earth. Prepare for an RPG fiction full of magic, action, a touch of romance, and the author's own dry humor. When the modern technology of Earth meets the medieval magic of Vera, which culture will invade the other world first? When the army rangers of the United States collide with the members of the Hunter's Guild, who will win? Updates on Wednesdays/Thursdays Cover is my own creation. Tips to reading: This is my first book, so cliches and tropes are used as the base and then expanded upon. My intention is to make it a casual read but deep if you decide to look closer. I'm not a people person, so my focus and purpose for writing this is to explore the world building and magic system, not necessarily the characters. There won't be a villian until the postgame ;) Author's philosophy: I took an professional personality inventory (through a community college back in 2018) and was categorized as a "double-checker." I'm never satisfied with the work that I complete, and never want to share it with anyone. But this book is a challenge to myself! As a rule of thumb, I will only add to the story. I can't remove elements I've already included (unless absolutely, absolutely necessary). PS, I'm a native English speaker.

To Blunt The Sharpest Claw
The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels are a series of New Fable genre novels that involve cats and dogs and high adventure and romance and espionage and food-fights and hotels and explosions and car chases. With large casts, exotic locations and an absurdity only possible in the absence of human characters, the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels blend Wind in the Willows with James Bond, though with more cafes and fewer badgers. This submission is the third title in its Morigan Trilogy, beginning two-thirds of the way through the series' longest adventure yet. Here's a quick recount of what's happened so far: When Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a Velvet Paw of Asquith, is ordered to investigate how a mysterious poet, the Ar'dath-Irr, is able to travel instantaneously around the world, two very bad things happen. Firstly, he meets Lydia, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, and secondly, the Ar'dath-Irr reveals he is intent on taking over the world. Although this second thing might be considered worse than the first, Oscar feels differently following Lydia’s destruction of a cafe, a library and his face in one afternoon. In comparison, thwarting world domination just seems easier. Along with Binklemitre, a fellow Velvet Paw of Asquith, and Lydia, Oscar infiltrates the Ar’dath-Irr’s realm of dark poetry to discover the dog not only intends wrenching the world apart but has no intention of cleaning up afterwards. As a result, Oscar decides it’s all too hard and goes home to have a bath. After lots of arguing and the sort of food fight that posh restaurants were invented for, Lydia and Binklemitre convince him that they must stop the Ar’dath-Irr for several reasons, one of them quite serious. A vibrant cast of characters collide as Oscar, Lydia and Binklemitre battle the Ar’dath-Irr and his disciples in an adventure involving exploding cafés and appalling hotels, car chases and inadvertent surgery, dreadful poetry, lots of arguments and at least one temper-tantrum, all of which draw the three into dark and convoluted corners of a world they weren’t aware existed. Moreover, any chance of sitting down and discussing things over some buns disappears when Lydia punches the Ar’dath-Irr in the face. This results in her having a psychotic episode and Oscar getting run over by an ambulance. Although Binklemitre suffers neither, he witnesses both, which is almost as dreadful, though not nearly so messy. An enormous battle ensues, followed by a dinner party and then everything explodes.
