《Even the heavens will shudder》Chapter 10 : City of Noria
Advertisement
Lucius after training for five months reached the third rank in the warrior path, for a boy who started training and was already at this level it was unheard of, but more shocking truths kept raining on him, Leyak informed him of his Demon blood that runs in his veins, Lucious is probably a descendant of a demon and a human, the proof was him controlling black energy *(Demon energy ) , Leyak was rejoiced but he also was facing a problem , if the demons knew of Lucius they would kill him because a relationship between humans and demos is taboo , nonetheless awakening his demon blood transformed his body , having two types of energy was a huge advantage .
Lucius was now in front of the huge gate of the city of Noria, previously the incident with the bandits, wehen killing them he didn’t feel anything, for him it was like killing magical beasts, Leyak explained to him why such a change occurred.
“Kid your feelings are becoming cold because of your demonic energy, we demons are existences with the same intelligence and appearance of humans but we are at the same time not like them, we don’t have strong feelings for example even If a nine years old boy slaughter a village he will not feel anything, we are a race that like to be alone and thirst for battle and blood, we compared to the others are cold blooded “Leyak explained to Lucius with a serious expression
“But it’s strange I don’t feel like I changed” Lucius retorted.
“Humph! It’s normal you are not completely a demon you are a half demon half human , the human side keeps your personality in check but the demonic energy already changed some of its traits “ Leyak answered .
Lucius was afraid of losing his former self so he immediately asked Leyak
“Master, in the future can the demonic energy control the totality of my mind?”
“Oh you’re not stupid good question, but don’t worry like I said previously you are not a true demon you are a Hybrid, you will keep your human side, but your attitude will change “Leyak reassured Lucius.
After finishing discussing, Lucius advanced to enter the city with the many people that also are heading inside, some guards are stationed but in this world weapons are not prohibited in the cities.
Lucius walked past the gate and the guards, one of the guards seeing him with his weapon on his back muttered.
“So young and already having a weapon huh “
Lucius first impression was shock then delight, the city was huge and people where everywhere chatting and walking, it was truly a lively place,
“Whoa! So many people “
“Of course brat it’s a city what did you expect?”
Even with demonic blood Lucius still had a surprised expression, Noria was a big city with roughly thirty million habitants and it was a place of commerce, merchants from all around the country come here for transactions , so stores and shops could be seen in every street .
Different kinds of people were walking, tall ones, short ones, fat ones, slim ones, handsome ones, ugly ones ext…

Lucius from birth never left his village, so he only read about cities in books, all of this is new for him, when walking he realized that some people were staring at him,
“hahaha… look at that bumpkin clothes “
“His red hair I’ve never seen this color “
“My god his clothes are dirty! “
Lucius felt many kinds of looks on him, disdainful looks were the majority of them.
“Brat kills them all, slaughter these fucking mortals!!!” Leyak was furious
“He calm down master we are in a city we can’t cause a commotion “
“How dare they mess with us, I Leyak if I had my original body would have reduced this city to ashes by this time “
“Master I said calm down, I don’t care what they say, it’s useless to bother with them “
“Humph! Go buy some clothes, and throw these tattered ones “
“Yes it was my intention anyway “
Lucius then began sightseeing, the Sirius academy Exam was in another two days so he had the time to visit some places, he was amazed by the beautiful buildings of different architectures , a shop caught the eyes of Lucius , it had a large display of clothes , he then walked inside , the shop inside was spacious with many types of clothes .
The store had many clothes tied to the wall or out on tables, the shopkeeper behind the counter seeing Lucius had a look of disdain, in his eyes with the way Lucius was clothed he had to be a beggar that came to plead for money , he immediately walked toward him.
“Hey your bothering the other clients if you came begging for clothes or money you can leave “yelled the shopkeeper
Lucius looked at him with an icy gaze, the shopkeeper seeing the eyes of Lucius shuddered, lucius then smiled and said to him.
“I came to buy clothes why would I need your money “
Lucius then had withdrawn from his clothes a small pouch inside it were many gold coins, instantly the look of the shopkeeper changed from disdain to respect , his eyes were even shining at the sight of that much gold .
“Dear customer you can look at all the clothes and you can tell me if you something your taste “
“Humph! That is why I don’t like humans they only look at the appearances” Leyak snorted in the mind of Lucius.
Lucius looking at the clothes immediately chose there was a dark grey outfit with red patterns in the form of two lines on the chest on a certain table, the outfit consisted of a robe, pants and leather black boots , Lucius liked this outfit the first time he saw it .
“Shopkeeper I will take this prepare it “
“Yeas dear customer “
The shopkeeper took the size of Lucius and ran toward a room, he quickly returned with another outfit.
“Dear customer this is your product “
“Hmm? How much?”
“2 gold coins and sixty silver coins “
“Take this “
Lucius took out three gold coins and threw them in the hands of the shopkeeper.

“Dear customer wait I will return with the change “
“No need keep it “
Lucius then headed to the change cabin and switched to his new attire, when he left the cabin the other customers were all fixing their eyes on him, with his new set of clothes he appeared elegant and refined, his long red hair was beautiful and his dark grey robe matching his body perfectly he was good looking, some female customers were dazzled by the sight, there was no look of disdain but male jealousy.
As for Lucius he was happy to have new clothes and paid no mind to the looks of others , the previously individual that looked like a beggar was now looking like a young master of a reputed clan .
“Kid these clothes are not bad, now what will you do “Leayak praised.
“I will search for an inn to sleep, I didn’t sleep on a proper bed for ages hahaha”Lucius Laughed
Lucius isn’t familiar with the city so he asked one of the pedestrians to enlighten him. He then walked in deserted alley that the pedestrian pointed at him to reach an inn named “Red leaf”, but just at that moment , two burly men appeared , in their hands swords , one of them was tall and had brown hair and the other was short but he had slit eyes and light blue hair .
“hahaha brat I heard that you have quite the number of gold coins “
“hahaha brother Zak he also have a sword let’s also sell it “
“Of course”
Note: brother is used for respect and not between real brothers here.
Lucius stared at them, without the slightest change in his expression
“The two of you fuck of, if you value your little lives “Lucius coldly snorted.
The two individuals looked at each other and began to laugh out loud
“hahahahaha brother zac he said he will kill us did you hear correctly
“hahaha yes ..Yes… this brat does he realize what situation he is in?”
They continued to laugh when Lucius disappeared from their field of view , they were startled .
“hmm? Where did this brat go? He was in front of us “brown haired man
Suddenly a cold voice could be heard behind their back.
“I told you that if you don’t fuck of you will lose your little lives “the cold voice was Lucius that sneaked behind them.
The black sword flashed and the two men instantly were beheaded, blood splattered and their heads fell on the ground.
“Humph ! Foolish ants “Leyak coldly said.
Lucius with his enhanced agility, how could two pitiful thieves resist his might? But he truly became merciless, he truly changed, if he was his past self he would only make them faint.
Lucius walked out of the alley like nothing happened in the first place.
Some people passed by the alley and saw the two corpses.
“My god! What happened here did anyone see “
He finally arrived in front of the inn and walked inside, behind the counter was a beautiful young woman.
“Welcome sir what can I do for you?” Said the young woman.
“I would like to rent a room to sleep at “
“Oh wait sir, hmm you can take the room 25, it is in the 2nd floor, here is the key “
Lucius quickly took the key and headed to the 2nd floor, he found the room easily and went inside, the room was neat and spacious for one person, it was already night so he immediately jumped on the bed to sleep.
“hahaha finally a good night of sleep “Lucius rejoiced .
The next day Lucius visited some restaurants and ate some delicious food that made from the bottom of his heart happy, in five month he only ate meat of magical beasts without taste, after that he returned to the inn and began to train by meditating, apparently the incident with the two thieves made a commotion near the inn but no one knew who killed them so the street quickly regained its calm, Lucius spent the rest of the day training.
“Today is the entrance exam, I need to know were exactly is the Sirius academy “Lucius exclaimed.
He had no choice but to ask the young woman behind the counter in the inn, surprisingly she was nice to him and made him a map so he can reach the academy without being lost, Lucius thanked her and paid the price for the room, he then headed outside and went to the academy.
After a few hours he arrived, Lucius frowned, too many people were present, but he was shocked at the sight of the academy.
“What a huge place “Lucius was surprised.
Indeed, the Sirius academy was big enough to have five thousand students every year, there was a very spacious garden and many buildings scattered in everywhere, the person who built this place was a true artist, it was beautiful, the gate of the academy was also huge , Lucius walked inside and saw a massive number of people inside but mostly children that came to take the entrance exam , many rows were seen and a the front of the rows there was blue robed individuals that were sitting behind a table , on the table a book and a cube made of crystal , that object was strange , Lucius was puzzled .
“Hmm so this is the Sirius academy “Lucius murmured.
“Humph if it wasn’t for the fact that I’m only a warrior god, I would have been enough to teach you “leyak with an arrogant attitude said.
Looking at different places Lucius realized that the exam entrance was divided in two types, the warrior exam and the mage exam, the people that were in charge of the warrior exam were red robed and the mage exam blue robed .
While looking, Lucius spotted familiar faces, and one of them was looking at Lucius dumfounded, that was the people that he encountered when departing from the silent woods , the Old man Ridley and the arrogant lady Eleonora .
“Y…you why are you here!!” Elonora screamed.
“Oh if it isn’t the young warrior Lucius” Ridley was surprised.
End of chapter.

8 1398Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
