《Heretic King》Heretic King - Chapter 24
Advertisement
Well this is probably gonna be the most challenging thing since the Proficio system was invoked.
How do I escape from this crazy woman? Like I'm all for sex, but those eyes honestly creep me out. She seems way too Yan for me, I quickly tidied myself up while hoping I could get out of dodge before she could focus.
No such luck.
As I stood up she quickly followed suit, while also grasping onto my arm. As she stared at my face I once again confirmed she is without a doubt a beauty. Truly a shame.
"Eh, could you by any c-chance...let go? I stuttered mid-sentence as when I began my sentence she seemed to shudder in delight, which by the end of my words changed to an aura which made me break out in a cold sweat. I quickly used Golden Fiery Eyes on the aura.
'Yan' AuraAn aura projected by one who would fit the description of Yandere.
(System advice: If you are her target of affection, run.)
As the system reaffirmed my original thoughts and gave helpful advice; which I inwardly gave a thumbs up to, I quickly looked at her to see what was wrong with her.
"Oh, so I am gross to darling...he doesn't want me anymore...if that's the case I guess it is time..."
As I heard that the cold sweat only increased, proportional to the aura which was gradually getting stronger.
"Ah, No that's not it...um?" Now that I realized I don't even know her name, well this is awkward.
"Diana, dear. My name is Diana Stepanov." I'm gonna ignore what I heard after that
"...soon to be...Diana Crowe..."
I am gradually thinking the system is more and more of a bro for warning me from this.
"Well Diana, all I wanted you to do was let go of my arm, I can't very well clean myself off with you attached to me like this."
"Really? You're not gonna run away?"
As she said that I felt her nails dig into my arm, although I know I am stronger than her, but as most men would agree with me, Women can be very scary when they want to be.
"Haha...*gulp*...of course not, I just want to clean off the dirt and blood."
I remembered a quote from a show that had a yandere in it that could maybe apply now.
Think of your shivers as excitement rather than fear. Cover the anxiety on your face with a smile. - Kurusu Keigo

Though it gives me even more shivers of "excitement" thinking anyone could ever enjoy this.
"OK I'll help clean you..."
As I prepared to deny her, I seen the look she gave her and quickly swallowed my words.
"By the way who's the wall of meat over there?" As she said that she gave a cold look of utter disgust towards him.
"Ah, him. A couple years ago he was my brother, then he was my unwilling master. And now to me, he is just a piece of thrash."
As there seemed to be more to this than I first thought I quickly tried to get out of this conversation. Using scan I looked for anything with a semblance to a shower or bath. Quickly enough I found a large bath inside what would appear to be the former leaders residence.
As we made our way towards the bath, Diana on her own volition began to tell me about her and her past.
"Nikolai and I lived in a house in the woods with our father and mother, north east of Magadan by about 30 kilometers, up until I was 14 we were happy. Then mother and father came down with an illness. As we were poor and hunted for food mostly we couldn't afford the medicine to cure them. Then it was just Nikolai and I. It was fine at first, it began with just lecherous gazes, the occasional remark. It then began to escalate, he began slapping my ass when I passed by and groping me whenever he could. Until one day, it seems his resistance reached his limits. On the day of my 18th birthday, that bastard raped me. He took my virginity that I was saving...that should have been yours...
After that he no longer put on airs, and just treated me as if I was his woman. Once the system was invoked as we had already hunted wild animals we quickly adapted. Though the system only seemed to fuel Nikolai's arrogance. He quickly began to rape even more women, he even did androgynous men. There was no end to his depravity. Once he heard the announcement of your bounty, he began to rape even more, seemingly in irritation that a man besides him was the first system announcement. Although he seemed to hide it underneath a veil of indifference, I could tell that he really desired to kill you so as to regain his pride. Just look at him now, crying and snivelling like a little girl. Now enough about that, I will tell you about myself; my likes, hobbies and such.

In regards to food my favourite is hot pot, while for hobbies all I could do was read and hunt. Nikolai took to hunting while I took to reading. For likes, that would be...you." As she said that I got a shiver once again. Although I can sorta understand what would turn you into that. After she said that she continued to drone on about herself that before we knew it we had arrived at the for our purposes, bathhouse.
Diana's POV
As I told him my story I made sure to judge his reactions, once I had reached the bit of Nikolai raping me, I could feel him tremble in what seemed to be rage and sympathy. I felt my heart throb once more, and continued telling my story. Once we reached the bath, Thomas seemed to become very awkward, when I asked him why he told me that I was his first time. I couldn't help feel a surge of joy and a surge of something else when I was told that. 'I was Thomas' first and only woman. And it will stay that way. I'm selfish, I know. But to keep you only mine, I will do everything I need to do, even if it's crazy.'
I quickly stripped naked in front of him, wanting to assure him he didn't need to be embarrassed around me, and that I was all his.
He quickly reacted. Seeing that I quickly got in the mood, and our actions quickly deviated from bathing.
When we were finally done, I helped wash his back which he seemed to really enjoy, soon enough we were clean.
As we were leaving, unexpectedly he drew me in for a deep kiss. As I was disorientated by that he quickly led me away from the settlement. Quickly we arrived at a secluded area nearby he sat me down and then began to talk.
"I'm gonna be honest here. You creep me out. Although I say that you also turn me on, you also make me feel odd inside. Although I don't believe It's love, but I don't hate you, but I feel that where I am going, that you shouldn't tag along, although I don't know how strong you are, but in any case I don't want my issues to get you into danger."
I was surprised as I heard him say all that. First things first...I'm creepy? In what way? How could he call the cute me creepy? Though at least he said I excite him, and he might even like me. Ooh I just felt a gush of warmth both in my chest and down below. He is even worrying for me. Ah Thomas you gonna make me fall deeper and deeper.
He seemed confused as to why I suddenly started to squirm in my spot. I quickly wanted to ease his worries. So I did the only thing I could think of. I french kissed him while pulling him into my embrace. As I quickly whispered my answer in his ear.
"You can't get rid of me that easily, lover boy. You're gonna be stuck with me as long as we both live." Different to earlier instead of shuddering or flinching he instead began to return the kiss and embrace. And it once again devolved into something entirely different to what it was meant to be.
We quickly decided our next course of action, I say 'we' but I mean me. Thomas already told me after dealing with the Survivor camp he had no other immediate plans. So I made the decision. Instead of focusing on getting stronger why not travel the world, and treat the getting strong as a secondary objective. God knows that we won't be able to find peace in this world for long so 9 times out of 10 while we explore we will naturally get stronger, so why not visit places like the Eifell Tower and the Great Wall? More than likely they have become dungeons knowing this systems love of landmarks.
And so we set off on our journey of the world.
A/N So there is chapter number 24. How do you feel about everything? Especially the MC. One of the reviews pointed out about the MC's character or specifically his lack of one. Sadly that was not intentional, it just ended up that way. I have to be somewhere in 3 hours so once I get back I will put up a poll regarding our MC's character development. Also Poll on this chapter as I didn't put in a warning at the beginning of this story of sex being a part of it as it was never intended. Once again leave your thoughts below.
For now, Ciaossu!
EDIT: Whoops forgot to post the poll on this chapter... Teehee

I will not be eaten
Litchi is your ordinary Royal Road addict. She can’t resist the call of a new chapter even when she needs to work. Because of too many new responsibilities she promises one week without reading. Sadly, she cracks in three days, because of an Azarinth Healer notification. Taking out her phone she starts avidly reading. It’s just a small promise, she will try it another time. Nothing should happen. Say that to the goblin that tries to eat your face, Litchi! You should keep your promise! She was used to food jokes on her name but it seems that this time her destiny is to be eaten. ---- Hello future reader! I didn’t find a new good isekai so why not create my own? I am an RR addict and amateur writer (in French) and today I decided to publish a story. You will have my eternal gratitude for any advice or constructive comments on the story! One of my objectives is to have developed characters, duo or trio make a fantastic way to character growth. So, I will try to create a deep relationship between a few of them. The first few chapters have a lot of combat, but other characters will soon arrive. Those first few chapters are made to build tension and create Litchi's first motivations. This story has the plot written to the end and important characters already shaped. This story is short in comparison to the majority of RR fantasy stories. Update every two days until I have no more chapters in my pocket. Average chapter length: 2200 words Warning: The grammar can be bad, IMPORTANT CHARACTERS CAN (Will) DIE, contain philosophical conversation as the characters stumble upon morals dilemmas. I hope I will see you soon in the comments and thank you in advance for reading Litchi’s journey. Have a nice day! :)

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)
