Chapter 28 - "A small talk with gods"
A week passed since the king death and a lot happened in the meanwhile.
Sarius was crowned not king but queen of the kingdom, it did shock a lot of peoples to learn that Sarius was a woman but after the fiasco that was the first prince as a king, Sarrina who decided to change her true name into her official one, was welcome with open arms by commoners and nobles alike. After her crowning, Sarrina decided to give my father remains a national funeral with a speech of apologies to him from the queen herself, he was buried beside my mother who was buried in secret by one of the noble in the castle who owed his life to my father.
Of course my family status as a noble was restored, no, our status became even higher as I became the country youngest War-chief in history and was given the title of Marquis, it wouldn't be a lie to say I became one of the most powerful man in the kingdom in strength and politically speaking. And if it wasn't enough my little sister who shouldn't have any title as she wasn't the head of the house received the title of Earl due to the fact she's the first King ranked mage of this country in centuries, and her age made the most powerful mages in the kingdom faint in shock when they learnt of it.
What is left to say? Oh yes... Mysty and Setsuna officially became my wives. Mysty kept pouting for days as I didn't gave her a ceremony but with the attention the country have on me and my family right now I seriously didn't want to fan the flame more that it was already.
And right now I was walking the stairs to reach the church of the blade goddess who became the biggest deity for this kingdom lately, since me going to pray and talk to Ymylfana was something of a holy ceremony, I was currently being escorted by a hundred priest as I walked up the stairs wearing some ceremonial cloth made of smalls metal scales who looked like little blades, at the top of it was royal guards who was currently securing the temple making sure nobody would disturb me.
"*Sigh* Was all this necessary?" (Shun)
I addressed the priest beside me who was none other than the Pope of the Blade church, not long ago he was just a nobody but now he's quite the V.I.P.
"Of course your holiness! This is a sacred ceremony! It wouldn't be a simple matter if you were to share the church with others as you pray our almighty goddess!" (Blade Pope)
If I knew it would be such a mess I wouldn't have talked about it to Sarinna and would have just prayed in the middle of the night when nobody was inside... Actually I'm not the only one in this situation as Eva also decided to go ask questions to her own god.
"Sir Fenrik!!!" (Stalker)
Geh! Not again!
Out of nowhere a woman suddenly appeared wearing fake animal ears, trying to jump on me. It was one of my stalkers, I have quite the few of them... Most being women who want me to impregnate them, this one even followed me from Mellanor.
That's seriously scary... What? What the animal ears are about?
Well... It seem some FUC... Some impolite fellow, kinda spread my preference around, strangely it had more of an impact than I first thought, yeah, because my preference was even used in politics... The queen Sarrina seem to want to abolish Beastmen and Magicalkin slavery, it would be something almost impossible to do normally, but an opening shown up at the least expected place, my love for animal ears was used to give the idea I'm a PRO Beastmen and as I am right now the most popular man in the kingdom and the one saw as a holy being since I'm the champion of the most popular faith, it gave quite the push to the new law Sarrina wanted to enforce, but it wasn't only a whim of a naive queen, our relationship with the west and east continent is quite low and human slavery on those continents is nothing rare, this law is none other than the first step to true peace between the three great clans, at least it's what she hoping for.

Anyway the result is as you see, people became quite favorable to this new law, but now all my stalkers wear animal ears in hope to gain my favors...
THAT'S GODDAMN EMBARRASSING! AND I ALREADY KNOW YOUR THE ONE BEHIND IT ARLLAN!!!
I swear I'm going to kill this guy someday!
After the creepy woman who was drooling as she saw me, was taking care of by the royal guards, I entered the church who looked like the one of Otor I saw before, but had the statue of a sword in place of the werebear one on it's roof. The inside was quite luxurious, every chandeliers attached to the ceiling and candle holders on the shrine was made of pure gold, it was quite bright inside because of that.
"Now your holiness we shall let you pray in peace, please tell us when you finished I shall prepare for your divination and for the blessings ceremony." (Blade Pope)
"Wait?! What are you talking about?" (Shun)
"Your holiness? You didn't know about that? Then let me explain to you, after you finished your talk with our goddess you shall receive a divine revelation that you will have to give to us lowly mortals, after that pregnant women shall present themselves to you in hope for their child to receive the blessing of the blade goddess, I will explain to you what to do, after that, in the meanwhile please enjoy your talk..." (Blade Pope)
*Slam*
On those words the Pope closed the door as he left the church, leaving me alone inside.
What the hell?! Nobody told me about those things! Goddammit it's going to be a serious pain in the ass... Anyway let's just start to pray for now, I just hope she won't discover I ate the Guardians and talked to them...
Calming myself by taking a long breath, I reached the shrine and kneeled in front of it in a prayer, closing my eyes slowly.
"Yo!" (Ymylfana)
"Wait what?! Already?!" (Shun)
Suddenly I was floating in a dark space while wearing nothing on me, I was back here once again... In front of me was the very same goddess I saw when I died as Rick, wearing the same weird outfit and still keeping the appearance she had at the time.
Wait if I'm a soul right now what about my others ones?!
Fearing that I just showed in the open my others souls to Ymylfana I looked around but strangely and luckily I was the only one.
"What are you saying? You prayed for three straight hours before coming here! I wanted to tease you more by making you wait longer but I got bored." (Ymylfana)
"Is that so?..." (Shun)
Guess I didn't see the time pass. Also it seem she really can't read my mind right now, I'm quite thankful for that.
"Anyway! Let's me get a good look at you!" (Ymylfana)
Weirdly Ymylfana seemed quite happy to see me and took my face in her hands like a mother would her child getting a good look at my face and looking at my body at time.
"Good! I'm happy to see you grow up quite properly! You became quite handsome too!" (Ymylfana)
Once again it was quite a motherly quote.
But suddenly before I could hide it she walked to my back and saw my scale. And her face became red in anger.
"Who messed with my son body?!" (Ymylfana)
... Wait WHAT?!
"U-Um I wanted to talk to you about that... I had a lot of question to ask you... But what do you mean by 'son' first of all?" (Shun)

As if she messed up Ymylfana gasped and took back a calm expression not showing any trace of her previous anger.
"I see... I hope you have some knowledge about what happened to you, but first let me answer you about being my son since you already found out about that." (Ymylfana)
...
"When I talk about being your mother I mean that I gave you some of my genes when I inserted your soul into a unborn baby. It shouldn't be something possible normally and it never happened with your predecessors but not only your soul, the body of the unborn baby was compatible with it, it's not much but you're something like quart blade god." (Ymylfana)
"...What? Seriously? You never said anything about that last time!" (Shun)
"Oh come on! Don't be angry and make mama sad! I'm pretty proud of you, you know?! Not only you were able to obtain two of my daughters you even made my faith one of the biggest one in this world! And I only gave you a tiny little bit, if not for that you would already have died from the curses so you should be thankful!" (Ymylfana)
Daughters... Wait a minute! If we follow what she told me and I were to be her son wouldn't that mean I slept with my sisters?! Let's seal this fact inside a part of my brain to never... NEVER think about it again! More than that I fear what would happen if Eva were to know about it!
"*Sigh* And what others effects you doing whatever you want with my body had apart from giving me resistance to curses?" (Shun)
"Mmm, the thing is that you should have saw the biggest change yourself sometime after taking hold of Mystyval but whatever messed with your body sealed it before it could shown itself." (Ymylfana)
"And that biggest change is?" (Shun)
"I gave you your own curse... Tehe!" (Ymylfana)
... DON'T PLAY THE CUTE GIRL WITH ME! JUST WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY BODY?!
Is what I wanted to shout but I can't really say whatever I wanted to her, she was must more dangerous than I first thought and I REALLY must avoided to anger her more than she was already. And wait didn't she just openly admitted she have something to do with curses?! Let's not point it out as it would give out the fact I know more about her that she think I do.
"I see... And what was the others ones as you said it was the 'biggest change'?" (Shun)
"Nothing much, just kinda screwed with your personality... Tehe?"
"... Are you kidding me?! How is that nothing much?! What changed?!" (Shun)
This time I wasn't able to contain my anger anymore.
"Oh seriously! You're a man, so don't sweat the smalls details! It just made you more eager to fight and less emotional when it come to human. Isn't that's a good thing? Without that you wouldn't be able to use Mysty curse that way as easily, and you be boring without you thirst for blood." (Ymylfana)
Now that I think of it, when I was but a soul the only changes I felt at first was the fact I gained the capacity to love and that I almost didn't felt any bloodlust coming from me anymore, not only that after being reborn the guilt I felt as a soul almost disappeared, also as a baby I was more keen of living my life peacefully until my father started training me and I discovered I was a battle freak. So it was her fault... Oh well, like she said it's nothing much, I'm pretty happy to be able to enjoy a good fight anyway, and without that I wouldn't have been able to win against Mysty or Setsuna.
"Yeah I guess you're right it's nothing much..." (Shun)
When she heard me she smiled, satisfied with my answer.
"As long as you understand! Now tell me your questions and tell me how you came to have a scale on your back." (Ymylfana)
Good she don't seem to have linked the scale with the Guardians yet.
"First I need to ask you something... You seem to have some knowledge of what happen in the world yet you don't seem to know what happened to me. How does this work?" (Shun)
"It's pretty simple, we can only know what happen down there from the prayers of our believers, so I do know a lot about what happen around you but nothing really private." (Ymylfana)
I see so that's how it work uh? I guess that the gods battle for faith isn't only a game after all.
"I see, now for what happening to my body... It happened after I slept with Mysty for the first time, the day after that a scale appeared on my back and not only that, even as I am in the middle of my biggest growth spurt my body didn't grew even a millimeter since then." (Shun)
Of course most of it was a lie, but that way I was able to talk about my immortality she would come to know either way in the future and would link it to the Guardians without directly talking about it, faking the fact I don't know anything about them.
Ymylfana frowned when she heard that, most likely wondering what could have had happened.
"I see, I did feel something was strange with your soul but to think it also affected your body that way... The fact you didn't grew since then must mean that you became an immortal at the time." (Ymylfana)
"What?! That's mean I always be a 13 years old kid?!" (Shun)
It was a long time since I acted that much.
"Sadly I think so, as for your scale... It seem someone tried to force your Dargonkin blood to awake when it was supposed to not be there to begin with... Do you know why I choose a body without mana for you?" (Ymylfana)
I shook my head in answer, not knowing anything about that.
"It's because curses and mana don't mix well together. Curses are a monstrous source of energy and power, but mana weaken curses power and worsen it's effect. That the reason why, if you were to have been born with mana the strength you would have gained as you woul wield a cursed blade would have only been half of what you gain with your current body, not only that, you wouldn't be able to wield them as much as the bad effect of the curse would be much stronger." (Ymylfana)
I see so curses are the natural enemies of those born with a high quantity of mana.
"But a body without mana is actually something really rare, every races from the three great clans are born with mana even if only a trace of it, but only those with a certain quantity of it are able to awoke their mana channel and become mage. Yet there is one exception, the hybrid, those born with parents or ancestors of different races. And that the case of the Fenrik family who are a mix of Human and Dragonkin, but, even as you should have been the last one in your lineage to inherit a body without mana, you shouldn't have obtained the Dragonkin blood like your father did or others ancestors with white hair, but for some reason you did take some of it and that's most likely the reason why your hair have such a peculiar color." (Ymylfana)
Oh! So that's why!But I really do have Dragonkin ancestors like I thought.
"The fact you inherited Dragonkin blood should be a good thing as it give you more physical strength, but the problem is that it screwed up the curse that was growing slowly in your body and sealed it, to tell you the truth you are quite lucky to have come to me with such timing, if you waited, let's say, a year more, before coming here your curse would have destroyed your body." (Ymylfana)
OH COME ON! That's what happen when divines entity keep modifying your body without asking! Next what?! I'm going to have drills in place of my balls?!
"Any other questions?" (Ymylfana)
"Ah, yes I do. would you happen to know anything about someone who would call himself the Overlord and have a name starting with 'Patri'?" (Shun)
"The Overlord is it?... I heard his remain were sealed into a relic that was kept by the Elves, but I didn't heard anything about him resurrecting or someone pretending to be him since then." (Ymylfana)
Oh shit, I heard recently about an Elf relic who disappeared, I sure hope it have nothing to do with that...
"Thank you then... I have nothing left to ask." (Shun)
"Is that so? Then let mama give you a hug before you go!" (Ymylfana)
What?!
Before I could say anything Ymylfana gave me a hug and started to gently pat my head.
I'm ashamed to say I strangely didn't hate it, far from it, it felt like I really was in my mother arms. Maybe those Guardians lied to me and she isn't actually an enemy... No! Don't fall in her trap you idiot! Arg dammit what is that?! A part of me can't see her as an enemy yet another one really hate her.
As I was deep in thought she released me, and showed a beautiful and gentle smile as she did.
"There you go, with that I unsealed your curse, you should be able to get the hang of it with time." (Ymylfana)
"I don't really feel any different..." (Shun)
"Don't worry, you will only feel something when you use it." (Ymylfana)
Good... I feared that I was going to become like when I'm in my other forms and always be under my own curse, even in my human form.
"Then I guess it's time for you to go, let's give you the divine revelation before that." (Ymylfana)
"Oh yeah I did hear of something like that. What is that about?" (Shun)
"It's just something to please the believer, nothing to take seriously... Here I go, Mortals! Your payers and offerings pleased me! For that, I shall give to five child presenting themselves to me a blessing! May your blade never rust!... And that's it! Just repeat what I just said when the Pope ask you to and it all work out, I guess he will explain to you how to do the blessings ceremony too, so I have nothing else to say! I will miss you so come see me again when you have time! Bye bye!" (Ymylfana)
Giving me the same Bye bye she gave when she reincarnated me, my mind got back into my body.
"Phew! Once again that was a lot to take at one time but at least it's done!" (Shun)
Still... My own curse uh? That could be seriously useful, I wonder if I would be able to create cursed swords. Anyway it confirmed my fear, Ymylfana was the one that cursed her daughters, their still a lot of thing that don't make sense like why the one who hold most of the curse are the Guardians and how she sealed their souls inside the cursed blades. But now I have one more lead to find out the truth, Ymylfana have the power to create curses. But what is surprising is that she didn't hid it at all... I guess it doesn't matter if I were to know about this from her point of view?
...
Let's try that curse thing out to change the mood!... How do I even use it? She just told me that I would figure it out by myself. Let's use the form changing thing as a reference and try to search my mind, if it's a part of my body and soul I should be able to use it from instinct too.
I sat crossing my leg as if to meditate and cleared my mind.
Now, let's focus and search inside my mind and body something that changed.
Using my mind as a scanner I searched around, and found a strange sensation coming from my chest near my heart.
Don't tell me the curse come from an added organ or something...
Focusing on it I felt something hot coming out.
Good, now to release it...
Wishing for it move, I was able to slowly made it slide along my veins like I was controlling my blood, and when it finally reached my open right hand I released it.
"Wow!... IT HURT LIKE SHIT!" (Shun)
As I did a small grey flame like thing appeared inside my hand, but it was accompanied with 'pain', It was like my whole body was under the effect of a phantom pain. Thankfully I only made a small portion of my curse appear as the pain was tolerable, but I seriously don't want and try and bring everything out right now. But if my own curse pained me this much I wonder what would happen if I were to touch someone with this flame...
"To think I got my hand on the worst curse of all... Anyway I should move on before the Pope dude get a cardiac arrest from worry." (Shun)
Making my 'pain' curse disappear I walked to the door and tried to open it but it was locked.
"Tch... OPEN THE DOOR!" (Shun)
*Clank*
As I shouted I could heard gear moving from the lock of the door, and it was opened by two guards showing me the Pope who paled a little from waiting that much, and an altar that was installed while I was talking to Ymylfana.
"Your holiness is everything okay? You were praying for a really long time." (Blade Pope)
"Don't worry I just had a lot to talk about with Ymylfana." (Shun)
"I see... Did she gave you a divination?" (Blade Pope)
"Sure she did." (Shun)
When I said that, the Pope beamed with joy at this news.
"Excellent! Please advance yourself to the altar and give us the words of our goddess!" (Blade Pope)
Like instructed I walked to the altar and stood behind it. As I did the smiling faces of a hundred priests and also the ones of pregnant women who was under the care of the said priests looked my way.
Wait I'm going to have to bless all those women?!
From the word of the divination I guessed what the blessings ceremony was about, but nobody told me there was going to be this much!
"*Cough*" (Blade Pope)
The Pope awkwardly coughed to tell me to go ahead and say it.
Fine! I do it!
"Mortals! Your payers and offerings pleased me! For that, I shall give to five child presenting themselves to me a blessing! May your blade never rust!" (Shun)
......
"""OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!"""
Suddenly a loud cheer was heard coming from the priests and pregnant women, as for the Pope he had his eyes wide open in shock.
"FIVES?!" (Blade Pope)
"Is something wrong?" (Shun)
"Ah! Pardon me your holiness! It's just that a God or Goddess giving five blessings at once was never it of before, at most it would be three, and most of the time only one or two if we're lucky." (Blade Pope)
"When you talk about five blessings are you talking about five direct blessings or it also mean others ones?" (Shun)
/Author Note: What he mean here is does it only include the blessing -> Goddess of Blade Blessing (Like the one Wyndy have but for the fire Goddess) or if it also involved small one like -> Blessed Blacksmith -> Blessed Enchanter, ect./
"Only direct one of course, that's why it is unheard of." (Blade Pope)
"I see... Anyway what am I supposed to do now?" (Shun)
"Yes! From now on pregnant women, follower of Ymylfana, will advance to the altar to ask of you the Blade goddess blessing, when they do, touch their stomach with the palm of your right hand, and answer them with our church motto, 'May your blade never rust', that's about it, now please go the other side of the altar and wait for them to come to you." (Blade Pope)
"Okay." (Shun)
Just giving a short reply I walked to the other side of the altar, and slowly a long line of pregnant women started to form itself under the priests instruction, the ones at the most advanced stage of pregnancy at the front of it.
After receiving the green light from the Pope himself a woman with an impressively huge belly and was most likely near giving birth approached me, as she arrived one meter away from me she stopped and did a small bow with her head as the rest of her body couldn't let her do more than that.
"I beg in front of her champion, Ymylfana dear 'Goddess of blade' bless my child." (Pregnant woman)
As she finished her own line I put my open right hand on her stomach and said mine.
"May your blade never rust." (Shun)
After giving me a smile and another small bow in thanks, the woman walked back and gave her place to another one.
That's one less... More than fifty others to go...
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
/While Shun was walking up the stairs to Ymylfana church, on the other side of the capital Eva was walking her own./
What a pain! This ceremony is ridiculous!
I was currently walking up the stairs to Xenesio church and was escorted by a lot of priests, as if it wasn't enough I was also forced to wear a ceremonial skimpy dress made of seashells.
In short I was walking a painfully longass staircase accompanied by retarded fanatics while looking like a pervert.
OH JOY! Seriously that's annoying! I just wanted to talk to the pervert quickly and make it so I never have to saw his face ever again! But they had to make a goddamn festival out of it!
"Your holiness?" (Water Pope)
"What?!" (Eva)
"W-We reached the church, please enter it." (Water Pope)
"Oh right... Sorry about that." (Eva)
While I was thinking we reached the temple door it seem.
Two royal guards opened the door for me and I entered inside, it wasn't as luxurious as I expected... The walls were dilapidated, all the lightings looked like crap and you could see dust accumulating at some corner of the church...
"Please don't mind the state of the temple. Even if our faith is gathering a lot of believers since you became know as the first King ranked mage in the kingdom since centuries, we didn't had the time to use the offerings given to us to repair the temple... Please forgive us for that your holiness..." (Water Pope)
"*Sigh* I don't care about that, I just want to talk to the pervert and change myself from this creepy dress already." (Eva)
"Uh?! Pe-Pervert?! Creepy dress?!" (Water Pope)
As he parroted what I said I started to get angry and glared at him to tell him to fuck off.
"... Please forgive me, take your time and tell us when you finished, we shall install the altar for the blessings ceremony in the meanwhile..." (Water Pope)
*Slam*
He slammed the door to close it, and left me alone inside.
Blessings ceremony? What's that?... No point thinking about it, let's pray and finish this.
I kneeled myself in front of the shrine and started to pray as I closed my eyes...
......
......
It's taking a while...
......
"Hey there! Long time no see Eva!" (Xenesio)
Tch, not like I wanted to see your face... And took you long enough! I waited for at least half a hour!
....
"If your trying to talk to me in your mind, sorry to say but I can't read your mind anymore." (Xenesio)
Oh... That's so?
"Your are as annoying as ever..." (Eva)
"Don't be like that Eva! Aren't we perverted buddy?" (Xenesio)
"Who are you calling a pervert?! You're the only pervert here !" (Eva)
"Is that really something, someone who is after her blood related brother would say?" (Xenesio)
"It's your fault he's my brother! Couldn't you have make me his childhood friend or something?!" (Eva)
Xenesio strangely lost his smile and even sighed.
"*Sigh* If I didn't made you his sister you wouldn't have come to know him, but it seem you still don't understand why I made you his sister..." (Xenesio)
"Wasn't that to annoy your rival?" (Eva)
"Yes to annoy her, but must of all to hinder her champion work and stop her plan. Sadly it seem that strong destiny isn't something you can change that easily if 'he' wasn't able to, even with my help." (Xenesio)
"What the hell are you talking about?! What plan?!" (Eva)
I don't know why but his sudden change in attitude gave me a really bad feeling about all this.
"... I can't tell you about the plan itself, just know that at the moment the current champion of the blade goddess came in contact with a cursed blade this world was screwed." (Xenesio)
"Wha?! How is that possible?! Does this have something to do with my brother being able to transform himself?!" (Eva)
When he heard that Xenesio made a jolt of surprise and looked at me with his eyes wide open.
"TRANSFORM?! Is that true?! Tell me everything in detail!" (Xenesio)
What with his reaction?! The thing about my brother being able to change his form was something I wanted to ask him as my brother was avoiding the subject, but maybe I shouldn't have, anyway it's too late.
"...Fine... I tell you! But you seriously need to answer my questions after that!" (Eva)
And so I explained everything that happened from when my brother was engulfed in flames yet strangely didn't die from it and transformed into a red-haired scaled man, and also how he had a scale on his back since then.
"... Incredible... So our last chance also happened to be the messiah... I shouldn't have doubted that guy, his prediction always come true after all." (Xenesio)
Messiah? Prediction? The hell he's talking about?!
"So! Do you know how he can do that?" (Eva)
"Mmm, I guess I can at least say that much... Your brother hold more than one soul, and his appearance change when he swap place with another soul." (Xenesio)
"Do you mean he share his body with others, but when he became red-haired he seemed the same as always?" (Eva)
"It's because every souls in his body are his own. I can't tell you too much details just know that it's something good, I don't know everything about it but it did make him immortal after all..." (Xenesio)
"What?! Immortal?! Don't tell me that mean he won't grow any older?!" (Eva)
"Uh? Uh, no he won't." (Xenesio)
...
"NO WAY! He was going to be a total hunk when older! To think I will never see him in his adult body is too cruel!" (Eva)
"That's what shock you?! *Sigh* You're an incredible girl in your one way you know? Anyway do you have other question?" (Xenesio)
What do you mean 'that's what shock you'?! I was so impatient I even tried to create a spell to see into the future! But that also mean that at this rate I will have a older body than him in some years, and when I be an old hag he still be a beautiful boy... I need to find a way to become immortal as soon as possible!
....
"I'm waiting here you know?" (Xenesio)
"Yeah, yeah, I hear you. I want to ask you about that plan and the world being screwed things, but you won't answer this would you?" (Eva)
"Nope, good thing your smart." (Xenesio)
Damn bastard...
"Then I guess I ask you, do you know anything about a guy who call himself the overlord?" (Eva)
Xenesio frowned at my question wondering why I was asking about that.
"Mmm, there was a guy like that long ago, but he was taken care of and his remains was sealed into an artifact currently held by the Elf, oh wait it disappeared fifty years ago didn't it? But it doesn't matter since it's impossible for the Overlord to revive. Why do you ask about him?" (Xenesio)
"It seem that their was someone who ordered the king to kill my family and that guy called himself the Overlord, also it seem his name started with 'Partri'." (Eva)
"What? Someone was manipulating the first prince? He did act weirdly, but... Oh! So that's it... Yup! Sorry I know nothing!" (Xenesio)
"Like hell you don't you bastard! You just talked to yourself and clearly have an idea of what happened!" (Eva)
"No,no, I'm serious, I do have some idea of what happened, but I don't know anything about this Overlord guy." (Xenesio)
"Don't try to play on words! Tell me what you know already!" (Eva)
"...Eva..." (Xenesio)
"WHAT?!" (Eva)
"Mortals! Your payers and offerings pleased me! For that, I shall give to three child presenting themselves to me a blessing! May water sooth your soul!...... Time up! See ya!" (Xenesio)
After he finished his rambling who made no sense, I suddenly opened my eyes and I was back into my body.
...
"YOU GODDAMN LOWLIFE GOD!!!" (Eva)

Reborn as a Fantasy World Dungeon
The title is a working title only, at some point, hopefully soon, I will decide on a more fitting one. Currently still reviewing the title poll results and the suggestions. My current release schedule here on royalroad, is every other Sunday at 1PM MST Chapter 28 is delayed, I am working on it still. What with the heavy snow coming to my area, so long as I don't lose power, I intend to be writing. I apologize to those following this story for the delay. Chapters 1-3 1st pass edit 2020-07-23 8PM MST.(The First Paragraph, (edited 2020-07-23)): My name is James Erikson. I am a 22 year old, Physics, Electrical Engineering double major at Stanford in my senior year. It had been a long day prepping for semester finals, I needed a good hot shower. I was on the way back to my dorm from the Green Library having returned some books on Quantum Mechanics, the Interaction of the Strong and Weak Nuclear forces under the influence of Strong Gravitational fields, and a book on the history of modern electronics. It was about 8:45 PM on Monday, November 15th, 2021, and I was getting ready to cross Campus Drive near the Student Services center, when unexpectedly, Lisa, my younger brothers girlfriend called out to me. I turned towards her, twisting my ankle in the process, and started to fall. I am looking at her face, I can see her eyes widening in shock in the street-lamps glow. I can see her start to scream the word “NO” when I am suddenly plunged into utmost blackness.
8 111The Complete Alchemyst book 2
Continuation of the Alchemyst book 1 Sometimes to be the good guy, you gotta be the bad guy. This is a story about Louis, a guy that was just trying to get along before he got kidnapped and forced to play cook by a Cartel. He's no Heisenberg, however. Now that he's out of Prison and put a beat down on some of the folks that put him away, he's facing the real pressures of Life as a single-person superpower: Everyone wants to use him for their own purposes. Along the way he's met a few girls, some good, some bad. He's looking to save the world, establish an evil empire, secure a future for the people he considers his, and maybe finally kill that damned superhero that started it all. This is not 'the boys'. Not all superheroes or supervillains are evil, The 'super' world is expanding to include aliens, magic, and the children of ancient deities and legends. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate.

(Complete) **A MATURE FANTASY** Book #1 in the Elemental Heir Series. "Your ready wit never fails to surprise and delight me, Brenya." He murmured, his lips only inches from my own.I blinked, my lips parting, as his heady scent encircled me. He licked his lower lip, running his teeth over it as his electric blue eyes burned into mine. The heat of his bare chest seeped through my thin cotton shirt, thawing my icy irritation."Even when you're being cross." He added in a low voice. He leaned closer, before I could respond, and ran his teeth along my jaw.I suppressed a moan. "I wouldn't be cross if you weren't so keen on irritating me." I said, unable to hide the smile in my voice.I felt his answering smile against my neck. "How can I make it up to you?" He whispered, planting gentle kisses up and down the column of my throat. He moved to the other side of my neck, flicking his tongue once against the mating mark near my shoulder.My hands slid up his abdomen, exploring the dips and hard lines of his muscles. Heat uncurled deep in my belly, spreading lower, and lower, until I felt my panties dampen. He growled into my ear, sending shivers down my entire body.*~*~*~*~*~*~#1 in ROMANCE 9/13/18~~#1 in ACTION-ADVENTURE 12/05/18 and 4/25/19~~#1 in ACTION-ROMANCE 1/16/19~~#1 in DRAGONS 6/9/19~~#1 in FAIRIES 7/20/19~*~*~*~*~*~*⚠️!!

8 127Errant
Amateur fighter Kestril only remembers two things about her mother's disappearance: a locket and the promise she made to keep her brother safe. That promise is all she thinks of when she jumps in front of a car to save her brother. She expects death, but instead wakes up to a looming clock tower, cobblestone streets, and dead soldiers wearing lockets just like her mother's. Kess's locket marks her as one of the Errant- people with control over dimensions and time, and the same people rumored to have captured her brother across the city. When a military group mistakes Kess for their enemy, she swears allegiance at gunpoint, hoping to search for her brother from within. Inside, Kess finds an even darker side of the city bent on killing the Errant-using any means necessary. When the murder of an important Errant soldier throws the city further into civil war, Kess uncovers a plot that could undo everything she's fought for so far. The only problem? Her brother is at the head of it. Trapped between her promise to her mother and her morals, Kess finds little use for her theatrical brawling of the past. She can only hope to find her brother before it's too late. || Update: 4/24/2022 Have decided to rewrite this novel, but will continue to post chapters of this draft, possibly with commentary.
