《Godly System》Chapter 21

Chapter 21
The cicadas chirped while the birds whistled. Purple leaves gently flew in torrents under the cool sky. Spring was the season of life in the country of Mo Ai. The weather was neither too hot nor cold while small animals came out to breed, creating a mythical ambience from their melodic chirping.
"Choo!" Lin Feng sneezed from taking in a breath of pollen. His palm opened up for a purple leaf to land on it. From what he read, this should be the National Symbol of Mo Ai country, the Tree of Zi. It was truly a beautiful country.
He casually strolled along the sidewalk while relaxing his mind in this beautiful surrounding. As his mind relaxed, he began to emit out Nature Energy unconsciously.
The branches of the Tree of Zi sprang up like a gust of wind had just hit it, and began to shake as the leaves of Zi radiated purple light for a brief second.
It was mid-noon, so no one had the time to stroll the street like Lin Feng. As such, he could emit Nature Energy without caring about accidently putting anyone in heat.
The more he emitted out his energy, the more proficient he became at controlling it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there's any way to control the rate at which he absorbs Nature Energy.
Suddenly, roaring sounds of engine came from afar.
VROOOOOM!
Lin Feng looked over to see a white van with completely tinted windows speeding by, followed by a crew of police cars.
Isn't this suppose to be a peaceful area? What is this?
Just as Lin Feng was about to pay it no heed, his Lust Essence stirred as he mentally smelled a very good fragrance. It was inside that van!
He glanced at the crew that just speeded past him and crazily emitted Nature Energy out to match the rate of Nature Energy he was absorbing, causing his body to be half fused into the surroundings.

His pale skin brimmed with an ethereal green and silver, making him look like a flaming ball of green before he abruptly disappeared!
Inside the white van.
A burly man with dark skin and shifty eyes slammed on the pedal as hard as he possibly can while cursing.
"Fuck! Why are there so many of them after us!? We only robbed a bank!"
Next to him, in the passenger seat, a man with a portion of his hair dyed blond had a gorgeous, older woman within his embrace with a knife at her throat.
"Don't worry bro, we have this hostage to stall for time for reinforcements to come. She's quite a stunner too. We can have a lot of fun after we reinforcements arrive."
The man dyed hair gave a lewd laugh and shamelessly grabbed the bountiful breasts of his hostage.
"Bastards...!" the woman hatefully groaned in pain as the knife was dug further into her neck. She had curled, luscious, black hair, just slightly past her shoulders. Her face was wonderfully sculpted in a way that fully exuded a mature charm with a tall, straight nose, and hot red lips perfect for kissing. Not just that, her body was very well proportioned into an hour glass figure, ripe and ready for picking. She looked no older than a person in their thirties.
Within the police cars.
"Incompetent fucks! How did a bunch of thieves manage to kidnap the Mayor under your noses!?" A powerful, enraged voice came from the radio. "Do you bunch know what the consequences will be if her husband finds out!?"
The group of policemen could only remain quiet under the severe reprimanding. It was completely their fault. Not only did they allow for a bank to be robbed, and the thieves to escape unscathed, they also allowed the Mayor to be taken hostage before their very eyes!

"W-with the number of personnels we have, we should be able to safely retrieve the Mayor after we surround them." A strong-looking middle-aged man spoke out from the car.
"I don't care how you do it, just get her back safely! If even a strand of her hair is gone..." A slamming sound came and the radio turned off.
"Chief..." a young man turned to look at the middle-aged man.
"I know!"
Some random warehouse outside Cloud City.
The Mayor was tightly tied to a wooden chair. A duct tape over her hot, red lips while her big eyes frantically moved aroudn the warehouse.
The burly man with shifty eyes paced around the warehouse with a cell-phone in hand while the man with dyed hair circled around her like a hungry wolf.
He had a metal rod in one hand which he played with as he circled around her.
"Stop play around with her! She'll lose value as a hostage if they see her all bloodied." The burly man yelled at his colleague.
The man with dyed hair stopped, "You have a point." He licked his lips and oogled at her lustfully, "You're safe for now."
Meanwhile, outside the warehouse.
Numerous cars surrounded the warehouse, flashing red and blue lights. The chief was out of the modified police SUV with a megaphone,
"LAST WARNING! HAND THE HOSTAGE OVER!"
Silence.
"Shit! They're not listening at all." The chief angrily stomped into the ground.
"Chief! Chief!" A young police man came running to report.
"What?"
"We- we're totally surrounded!" The young policeman pointed in a direction.
The chief irritatedly look over, "W-what?"
They were just surrounding a warehouse earlier and now, they're being surrounded too. What the fuck was going on?
Various trucks and beatened up sedans created a full parameter around the police blockade and men with various tattoos and piercings stepped out of it.

Dungeon Devotee
Through all of Linaria, no dungeon holds such a grip on the dreams of men as the Eternal Depths. Hundreds throw themselves against its trials each day. Dozens survive, walking away with power and wealth beyond their wildest dreams… until they go back for more. One way or another, they all eventually feed the Depths. Edmund Montgomery Ahab has sworn to destroy it. Underleveled, undertrained, and underprepared, Edmund steps into the maw of the world’s greatest predator, a sword in his hand and vengeance on his mind. At first his task seems impossible, but with every level he earns, every piece of loot that drops, every secret he uncovers, and especially every bit of power he can squeeze from his mysterious connection to the Aspect of Madness, Edmund crawls closer to accomplishing that insurmountable feat. With nothing else to lose, Edmund has already given the Depths his life. All that remains to be seen is whether he takes the dungeon’s right back. Dungeon Devotee is an episodic serial. It will never be taken down for KU. Each chapter details a single floor of Edmund’s journey through the vast Eternal Depths, with all the levels and loot and lack of cliffhangers that entails. New chapters come out on the first of each month.

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Emperor NPC
The Demon Emperor had taken one billion lives and conquered the realms of elves, dwarfs, and giants. When the final realm of man fell to his armies, the stage was set for their world’s finale. A spire of brilliant light pierced the sky, and as the land was torn asunder, the demon emperor met his death. It was not by the hands of a hero, or goddess’ champion, but by a system developer—a creator of the VRMMO Ark World—masquerading as a god! “It’s ironic that it would be you,” said a voice in the black void of the quantum system. “Strange, that you’ve given me this quest, and stranger that I can’t do it without you.” By the power of the thirteenth system developer, the “goddess” Amarytha, the demon emperor was reborn in a new video game where his character never came to be. In the Ark World Sandbox, humans rule as gods over nations of NPCs. Through mastery of their administration commands, they hold absolute control. Only the demon emperor, liberated by the Player System, can challenge them. A crusade begins with one step. Freedom from humanity begins here! ---------------- I'm going to be upfront here. This is not an anti-hero story. So, if you've come for anti-hero you might not enjoy it. The cover art I commissioned from my friend @cyborgraptor. You can find her on twitter, or tumblr. Absolutely awesome person, and way too humble. She's also a great dps on WoW, and her and I always fought for top of the meters. I update every day, or nearly every day. I'll be updating this quickly as I bring it to parity with my other sites. Afterwards, expect 6 or 7 chapters a week. This is my only job and I approach it professionally.
