AN: Sorry for the wait. Here with another chapter. Comments and reviews are welcome, more than just welcome. Thanks for reading and have a mad time.
"Why can't you take this seriously? I am trying my best yet since class started you have not even answered right."
"Right what is right, what is wrong? Do I look like I care. We have been going on like this for one month, don't you think it is enough? Let me go, I bet Roberto is worried about me."
"Don't worry time flows differently here. We have all the time we need."
"That means?"
"We can go on forever. And I intend to do so if you don't get it right."
"You are kidding right?"
....
POV Neo (poop man)
"Oh? If this isn't Neo."
"Hello aunty, is Elise there?"
"Wait I call her. Elise your friend Neo has come for you."
"Just a sec." I hear rustling noises and Elise arrives at the door
"You got everything?"
"Yup."
"Be careful you two don't wander into the Forrest."
"Don't worry mom, Elise is a good girl."
_ _ _
Of course we went into the Forrest. This is where I train Elise to become a better fighter. This is for the sake of our master Thorus. Oh, master where are you? Since you have freed me of my retardation, my life has become worth living. You have released me from hell. I will wait for your arrival and when you come back you will see servants worthy of your being.
"Elise are you ready? Have you prepared yourself?"
"One moment"
Elise takes out a doll out of her bag. This is her special doll, she calls it Thorus. Whenever she is in pain or has a rough time she hugs it. I often see her talking to the doll and doing kowtows.
Since our master Thorus left us, she completely changed. There was no day where she wasn't asking when our master comes back.
Since master Thorus vanished I have been spying his home. One day while eavesdropping, I found out hat my master is the champion of the madgod. For me that came to no surprise. I knew that master is no ordinary youth. What ordinary youth can cure me from retardation? As expected of my master, he is a profound man.
Anyway since I knew that my master is bound to have strong enemies, I decided to train Elise. I had arranged a tough training plan, in the morning Elise sneaks out of her room and runs for 10 km. After breakfast follows meditation training. Afterwards she goes out to "play".
"Are you ready to play?"
Elise gulps down her salvia before nodding with determination and putting the doll aside.
"Okay here I come, be careful not to bite your tongue."
Elise takes a fighting position.
"Here I come, defend yourself haaaaaa"
I dash of with great force leaving a small crater behind.
Coming close enough for my fist to reach I struck out with 50% of my power.
Boom
Just before my fist touches Elise she ducks just in time. My fist hits the tree behind her making it explode into countless pieces.

Not bad. Elise lunges at me from a crouching position.
"Yiaaa"
Seeing such a obvious way of counter attacking I can't help but snort.
"Humph"
I slap her attacking fist away leaving her open. Charging my palm with lots of love I slap Elise's face slightly.
*Bang. *
Elise flies like a bullet crashing into a tree.
It takes lots of time to describe, but everything happened in a blink of an eye.
"Ohh, I might have overdone it a bit. Are you alright?"
I hope I didn't left any bruises can't have her mother be suspicious, it would make things harder than it is.
After the dust clears up, I can see Elise struggling up. She coughs a mouthful of blood.
"I can still go on. Come at me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, wait a sec."
Elise spits out a tooth and smiles and me with a visible gap.

Pov Thorus (main body)
"Old man tell me were there any visitors from outside?"
"Now that you mention, a bunch of merchants just arrived."
"And why don't you tell me that sooner?"
"I didn't know that it was important."
"It is important show me the way. I want to meet those merchants."
"Of course follow me your highness."
Later at the market I can see the merchants. They are the kind going from city to city selling their goods.
A fat man with expensive clothing is advertising his products around him are a bunch of interested people. Going like ah, woah.
I make my way through the masses and arrive in the first row. The people seeing me became startled at first than they immediately bow.
The fat man noticing the disturbance looks at me with curious eyes.
"Yo, old man who did you give the permission to sell your goods here?"
"Eh? Why do I need a permission? In my life as a merchant I never needed a permission to sell my goods."
"Well to bad you are on the soil of Furor and there are certain rules."
"Who might you be?" The fat merchant asks politely.
"I am Thorus the Madman. King of Furor and champion of the madgod."
The merchant became startled and fear shows on his face.
"So- so the rumors are true. Excuse me if I have offended you. I will leave right now."
The fat old man was ordering his subordinates to pack things up.
"Wait, you don't need to leave. Come let's talk in private. I have an offer to make that you don't want to miss out."
The fat man raises his brown hearing that, but he still was a little suspicious.
"Don't worry I guarantee your safety. It makes me sad to say that since there is no danger from the beginning."
The fat merchant nodded and told his subordinates to wait.
"Old man, bring our special goods to the throne hall."
"Will be done." The oldman bows and leaves in a hurry.
"Come with me, ah right what is your name?"
"This ones name is Mahking Cash."

"Mahking Cash`? Hahaha such a suiting name for a merchant. Good good, come with me."
While leading the way to the tower , Mahking couldn't help but praise the city, especially the big ass tower.
Arriving at the Throne hall I implore Mahking to sit down.
Sitting down the merchant couldn't help but look around and admire the scene.
"So how do you like my humble tower."
"Humble bahahaha, you must jest, this tower and walls are breath taking. How did you managed to build it in such a short time, moreover where did you get the resources?"
"Sorry trade secret."
"Yes, yes. Anyways what can a King want from a lowly merchant?"
"First of there is no class system in my Kingdom. There are no nobles or stuff like that, everyone is equal. So you don't need to refer yourself as lowly."
Mahking's eyes widen in surprise.
"This- I didn't expect. Good very good this is how it should be."
The merchant seems much more at ease now.
The lift opens and the old man is walking in.
"I have the goods you have requested. There are in this ring of storage."
"Well done, you can leave."
The old man gives me the ring and before leaving bowsto me.
"A ring of Storage? Such a rare item."
"Well what's inside is much rare and I have an endless supply of it."
Mahking's brows move slightly.
Without further ado I take out the various hentai manga's I have ordered to make. The artists have adapted the style of manga drawing. The story was provided by me.
I lay down the manga's in front of the merchant. The cover is blank only the title is on it.
"Books?"
"Not any kind of books."
Mahking takes a manga and reads it title.
"Detention with my teacher? And this? Notice me senpai? Desperate Housewives?, Harem King, and this? The Journey of the Madman."
"These sound like erotic stories expect the last one."
"These are more than mere erotic stories just take a look."
Mahking takes "Detention with my teacher" and opens the manga.
"This...."
His eyes wide he looks dumbfounded with his jaw wide open.
"This this-" he flips pages faster and faster.
"My goddesses." He makes a sound similar to that of puking and a mouthful of blood is spat on the floor.
His hands trembling he lays it down gently not daring to damage it.
After wards he proceeds to study the other mangas while spiting a mouthful of blood here and than.
After finishing the magas the merchant looks pale due to blood loss. Even though he looks like that he can't stop from shaking from excitement.
"I didn't know, I didn't know that you can use paper in such a way. That you can use drawings and writing to create such a divine thing. After seeing that now I can die in peace."
"Yo, don't over do it. I still need you."
"Why me?"
"My intuition tells me that you are no simple man. Even thought you are traveling the Kingdoms to sell your goods and doing the work of an average merchant, I am sure that you are no small fish. I can tell that you are more than you present yourself. I guess that you are a big shot in a vast company that has connections all over the continent."
Hearing that the merchant showed a sincere smile.
"You are right, I am the owner of one of the biggest trading companies. The Cash group. How did you figure out?"
Mahking asks his face can't hide his curiosity.
"Your hands are not that of a worker. You never had to carry heavy cargo. Also your clothing are to expansive for an average merchant."
"Hahaha, you are right. Even thought I am the boss of the cash group, I still like to travel and meet new people."
"That is also why I chose you. I need someone that can introduce these goods too the world."
"I am more than willing, these picture books of yours will start a revolution. And I like to be a part in it."
"Good. Let's make it so, I provide you with the goods and you sell them. I want you to sell them on the whole continent, with your vast network there surely won't be a problem right?"
"No not at all."
"I am also not interested in making money so we can do 50-50 does it sound good?"
"50-50 ?" The merchant is shocked to the bones and from his excitement he starts to bleed from his seven orifices.
"Are you alright? You don't look good."
"I am alright. Puh. You are too genrouse.I must thank you this will be big business."
"Well you can go to the old man, he will do the rest concerning business."
"Yes,yes."
"Right there is something else I want you to do."
"Just tell me If you want me to go thru raging flames or climb the tallest mountains I will do it for you."
This guy..
"I want you to promote the Kingdom of Furor. You know public relation and stuff like that. I want them to see my Kingdom in a good light. Also on the books it says made in Furor, these are never to be tampered with."
"Of course, I can do that with a clear conscious. It is a pity that people see you as evil."
"Thanks, you can go."
"I thank you."
Mahking Cash leaves in a good mood leaving a trail of blood behind him.
Such a fortunate encounter. I can't wait for my plan to show it's fruit. With these mangas I can influence a lot of people. Especially the manga Journey of the Madman is about me. Of course its content are utter bullshit. It shows me as a hero that fights for the poor. In the story when I was born the birds all sung a dive tune. You know a bit of myths here and there makes the people brain washed. It is something akin to north Korean propaganda.
When the people can't get enough of my manga's than they will have a different opinion about the mad religion. Something like weeaboos will appear denouncing there own culture and supporting me.
If the opinions of the masses are in favor of me and my Kingdom than it will be difficult for the enemy kings to act.

8 265The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.

Offered a choice by Solaris, what will his life entail? Author's note: This will be my main focus during November, but I almost guarantee that it won't be finished by the time the challenge ends.
