《Rise of the Lich!》Chapter 28 - Rodario*
Advertisement
“So, with the help of my now dead grandmother or to be precisely, with the help of her documents I found out what I need to activate the artefact. It's pretty easy, really! All I need is a bit of mana, some not-too-common herbs and an adult-sized dragon heart.
Remember when I said it was easy? Well, I lied.
Who the hell was the one that created this thing again? What was he thinking? 'let's create an artefact to help dragons! But in order to use it they'll have to kill a dragon'. Yeah, Great idea. Well, we don't really have a choice. I had a long discussion with my beloved Diana and we came to the conclusion that if a dragon had to die for our love, so be it.
To be honest, the dragon should feel happy about dying for such a noble cause! Or he should laugh because it's pretty funny if you think about it, since he basically has to die just so I can have sex with my wife.
Anyway, me and Diana are going to the red mountains now. She knows a dragon who lives there and together we should be able to kill it, after all my own power also increased by a lot. I learned abyssal magic from my grandmothers’ documents and I have to say, I'm pretty good at it. Wish us luck!”
-From Jeff Rutherions 'How I married a Dragon!'
*Sirius POV*
I do not like the current situation.
It's been three minutes since the blood red orb exploded and Saxin came out of it together with an unconscious Aya clone. She didn't say anything or did anything, she's just standing there looking at me with greedy eyes. She won't eat me, right? I mean look at me I'm all skin and bones! Actually, scratch that, I'm just bones! She won't get any nutrition out of me and I really doubt I taste good.
Wait. Didn’t I already tell that joke? Am I already becoming repetitive?
The small spiders and other guards around here are also being quiet by the way. They seem to be very shocked because of the state Saxin is currently in. looks like that Aya wannabe was pretty strong, huh? I guess if nobody wants to say anything I have to start.

“So, did I manage to help you?” (Sirius)
“Oh, yes.” (Saxin)
…
I do not like the way she just said that. The hell was that? Why do I feel so raped? Has to be my imagination, right? I mean I don't even have any genitalia after all.
“So you are not angry at me or anything?” (Sirius)
“Fufufu, it's quite the opposite to be honest.” (Saxin)
“Is that so? So, we are friends, right?” (Sirius)
“Actually I would like us to be much more. Of course, only if you feel the same way of course.” (Saxin)
More? Like allies?! Yes, I did it!
To think it would be so easy to gain her as an ally. Seems like I'm a great politician! I mean just look how I read the atmosphere perfectly and how I know exactly what she means!
“Of course! We should immediately make it official! Get a contract and maybe a ceremony and everything!” (Sirius)
“I don't know what you need a contact for but I also want to start the ceremony as soon as possible! Fufufu, it will be a grand wedding!” (Saxin)
“Yeah and we wil-”(Sirius)
…
What? What did she just say? Did she say wedding? No way, right? I have to have misheard that, right?
…
Right?
Hm?
Oh, I think I really misheard that. Because right now, I have a very good feeling!
…
Why is that good feeling giving me such a bad one?
* Third Person POV *
The human capital city 'Lichtenhof' is well known in every corner of this world. After all, it's not only the place from where King Julius the second and his son Prince Julius the third reside in, but also the main seat of the Church of Light.
Lichtenhof is a huge and rich city as well as a lively one, but today everybody seems to be particularly excited. The reason is simple and yet grand. The man said to be the strongest on this world entered Lichtenhof a few days ago after all. The man is known under the name 'Rodario Rutherion' and loved or hated all over the world. His lineage is strange and extreme in every aspect.
His mother is known as the scarlet high dragon 'Diana of the West' and rules over all the dragons inside the 'Burning Mountains' which lie on the western side of this continent. His father is known as the abysslord 'Jehova of the East' who rules over the silent depths deep under the eastern seas.

Both of those two are well known and feared personalities that seemed to be once in a relationship. Something happened though and they split apart. It's a well-known fact that dragons mate for life and that the female binds her male partner to her, so it's probably only a matter of time until both of them get together once again. Many fear that day.
Rodario inhered the physical strength of a dragon and the magical powers of his father, which makes him a near perfect being. Some people respect and admire him for that, others hate him. But all of them have one to say: He is strong.
Rodario was also blessed with beauty which made him even more loved and hated. He has Fiery red hair, the same color as his mothers scales as well as a pair of clear green eyes which he got from his father. His skin is pretty pale and his build rather muscular. The only thing some may criticize is that his face looks a bit to feminine.
Rodario is sitting inside a secret room within the adventurer guild to speak about a new quest he may accept.
“I don't really want to get involved with this stuff.” (Rodario)
“What?! Why is that?! Eliminating the remaining five of the seven Dark Kings should have the greatest priory right now! We don't want another fifty-year long war, right? If they would stay together it would be impossible to strike but they split up very often and you are strong enough to take them out one on one! Well expect of the Demon-King maybe, but if the other fall he will do so as well! I'm sure! This would also give you great honor and even more fame. Is that not exactly what you want?” (Guild-Master)
“To be honest? No, not really. I'm just doing this whole adventure thing because mum and dad told me to do so. Something about getting experience and build up a good base for the future or something. I don't really want to do this whole thing any more. I would much rather go home and kick my father in the ass so he already goes and apologizes to mum! God to be so hung up about such a minor thing... I wonder how those two met?” (Rodario)
“…” (Guild-Master)
“Why are you looking at me like that?” (Rodario)
“S- sorry, too much information. I have some serious problems following you right now. So, you want to quit, right? Are you sure?” (Guild-Master)
“Yeah, I think I'll go to the east and speak to my father or something. I hope he won't be too disappointed at me for hanging it all on a nail.” (Rodario)
“I see... Alright then. It's not like I can stop you or anything even if I wanted to... but hold onto your adventurer-ID and don't make a public announcement or anything.” (Guild-Master)
“Hm? Why not?” (Rodario)
“People are really going to be depressed if they heard that the greatest hero of our time just... well, quits. So just go away instead and let your legacy fade away. This way you will become a legend instead of the hero that has forsaken the people.” (Guild-Master)
“Don't say it like that... kinda makes me feel bad. But you have good point there, I'll just do as you said. Thanks for the advice, old friend.” (Rodario)
“I have to thank you for all your hard and great work. I wish you the best of luck. Oh and before you go, I just remembered something.” (Guild-Master)
“What is it?” (Rodario)
“Someone sent you a highly-secured message. Seriously, there are more spells on this letter than mages in this city!” (Guild-Master)
The old man gives Rodario a pink letter. Rodario just simply touches it with his fingers and the spells break.
“Really... I'm going to miss you. So, what's the letter about?” (Guild-Master)
“Hm? Nothing important but something quite interesting.” (Rodario)
“What is it? Just tell me already.” (Guild-Master)
“A Wedding Invitation.” (Rodario)

The Cosmic Interloper
Synopsis: A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, she ends up in a fantasy world of full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hilarity ensues. Features: - No blue boxes or cultivation, this is not a LitRPG nor about martial arts - Hard-ish Sci-Fi meets hard-ish magic - Generally trying to keep this "rational" Rationale: My primary goal with The Cosmic Interloper is to write something that I myself would enjoy reading. Of course, that’s not the only motivation, but I think it’s the most important one for me to keep in mind, especially as the author. In fact, this whole story came about because after consuming oodles of fiction, I found myself craving a very specific type of story which I couldn’t find many examples of. Then I asked myself, “why not write it myself?” and here we are. Disclaimer: In general, while I’m not writing a comedy, I do intend for this story to be funny and a bit wacky or absurd. That said though, I am using this story as a vehicle to explore some potentially dark topics including (but not limited to) slavery, speciesism/racism, and existential questions of self, consciousness, and identity. Still, I’m going to leave the “traumatizing content” tags off, because I don’t feel that what I’ve written so far (or plan on writing) exceeds the threshold that would be necessary for me to tag it thusly. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way she views the world is not the objective truth (if such a thing even exists).
