《Flight of the Princess Sage [hiatus]》Ch 9 A Witch's Game Pt 4

Well, that was rather fun. The capabilities of the Clutches of Sin formation are slightly more than I have anticipated, which is a pleasant surprise.
Though I’m a bit disappointed that that… what was her name again? Did I even ask that? Eh, whatever. I’m a little disappointed that the girl was so easy to control with just a few suggestions and minor techniques, you would imagine that someone who probably specialized in mind-control magic would be able to fend off against it well, but… the reality is often too disappointing. I had even spent some time preparing my sophistic arguments to get her to the dark side and corner her rational mind but a bit of rough behaviour followed by some nice flowery words were more than enough. Whatever. I can always come up with some other fun things.
Speaking of which, there was a game human children are crazy about nowadays, I happened to overhear our servants chatting about it. Hm… I think I have a very nice idea, huhuhu.

High-level god Protox was enraged. Recently, he and some fellow gods were attacked by a certain goddess that before was on their side and had very good relationships with some of them even.
Her name was Thea, the goddess of order, and to Protox she was like a niece. He cared about her a lot and she respected him too, if Protox had heard that his ‘niece’ would attack him with so much hostility before that happened, he would never believe it.
Thea took the lives of three low-level gods and heavily injured one mid-level and she didn’t intend to stop, so Protox had to put an end to the massacre with his own hands, much to his grief.
It didn’t require too much time to figure out the reason behind the incident: the culprit behind the strange and disturbing activities on the Extererr mountain and the disappearance of the low-level god Werben, Lavenna Mehliac. At first, the group of deities suspected that it was her mother, Heralfia, but after a bit of investigation, the daughter was the most likely suspect.

Protox, in his fury, used his vast influence to command a few dozens of low-level and three mid-level gods to attack the mansion Lavenna resided in. Naturally, since she didn’t even think of concealing her location or running, it meant that it was likely she had confidence in her own abilities, so in order to avoid an incident like the one with Thea, it was agreed to first test the waters with a small group of low-levels.
In conclusion, after but a day after the attack, Protox received a letter with the words “The results of the game match” written on it. It appeared in front of him right out of thin air.
Protox was surprised at first but then understood that it was probably a way for the little devil to show her strength, to say that she could get them even in Pantheon and that none can hide from her. It didn’t matter to the god what delusions of grandeur the little devil possessed, he wasn’t afraid in the slightest.
He took the letter and read it, though it took him a bit of time and some investigation to understand the contests.

Not long after the mangled bodies of the fallen gods were found in the Pantheon, which caused an uproar. The witch treated the lives of the gods not much different as she would treat toys and mocked the prestige of the Pantheon by displaying such a grotesque scene there. It earned her a lot of fear and enmity from many gods of all levels in Pantheon.
A great number of them attacked the mansion where she lived but none returned and what was surprising, the mansion didn’t suffer any damage and no mortals were alarmed by so many gods descending.
It was eerie and more and more gods began to fear the witch. They all hated her but chose to do nothing. The braver ones tried to use schemes and threats but they all ended up dead, with the mocking letters left describing their deaths.
After ten months a new letter arrived, this time the contests were different from normal.
“I’m bored. It was fun while it lasted but I guess I’ll end it soon. Anyway, it was a let down you had only six high-level gods and no stronger ones. But I guess if there were stronger ones, would pose me some trouble, so maybe it wasn’t that bad. Anyway, I’m done with all of you as I have no time for games. I left a present for you all too.”
A few minutes after the letter was unsealed by the fuming Protox, the entire Pantheon went up in flames and then everything exploded, leaving only the high-level gods alive.
The highly-concentrated Divine energy left in the place after the deaths of so many deities was quick to find its new hosts in the six high-level gods, forcing them into slumber to refine it and truly make the energy their own, making them reach higher levels of Divinity.
As they were falling into slumber they were endlessly cursing Lavenna, wishing for her to suffer.
Like this the witch’s game with divinity has come to a temporary close, both parties being too busy accumulating power.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.

Sect Core
A peak cultivator is betrayed by his sect for being of common birth. The sect decides to not only kill him but transform him into a core, so they can use him for cultivation. But to get full control of all the sects formations, all of his energy has to be banned from the galaxy. In this manner, the main character is thrown into the rift in the middle of the galaxy. This rift transports him into another galaxy, where his journey to become the core of the most prominent sect begins. --- This is my first story, and the release schedule will be spotty in the beginning because I still have to do a lot of world building and thinking where the story should go. But I decided to put it out into the world to get some feedback so I can see what people think about it and maybe even get some inspiration. --- The cover image is not my own. I copied it from the internet. I thought it was cool and it suited the story. All rights reserved for the owner of the image.
