《Money Grubbing Demon Lord》Ch 7 Promote
Advertisement
Word quickly traveled of a Demon lording over Rotenburg. The rumors had already spread, but since the Kingdom hadn't acted, most people thought it was just a Monster Tamer. But with the death of the Lord of Esthervale, the Royal Family couldn't stay still.
But the first thing that Lord Beltos did was travel to Esthervale and spread his doctrine of Time is Money, Get Back to Work!
All trade and tourists were stopped since the Kingdom was planning on going to war. However, the original citizens and any others who realized the amazingness of the Demon Lord stayed behind.
The Thief did her best and gathered intel to help save Lord Beltos time and money. He had discovered the power of knowledge!
The powerful monsters would patrol the borders now, and most people just kept going about their business.
However, Lord Beltos was without income! So he sought other channels. He sent emissaries to the Empire and Alliance, to see if they were willing to trade. Never before had these people received the request to trade from people they were going to war with. Once they figured out what was going on, one person gave an evil smile.
The Emperor sat on his horse at the frontlines and read the letter before him. When he learned that a Demon Lord had taken land from the Kingdom and caused internal discord, he couldn't help but laugh.
Wasn't this too easy? This not only gave them a chance to remove noisy pests, but also a wedge against the war!
Sure, the Empire was founded by war mongering and invasions, but that past was long gone. The Empire became a symbol of the unity of the people. To embody that ideal was the hope of the doctrine. If they gave a hand to the Beastkin, why not Demons?

The Queen of the Fairies just scoffed and went back to sleep when she read the letter.
The Demons? They acted like they had no idea what was going on.
The Emperor sent a merchant to see what the deal was. In secret, he also sent an assassin to get rid of the Pope. If he failed, whatever. It wouldn't be the first.
But maybe it would cause a chink in the armor to be exposed, giving him the chance to strike!
Little did he know how precious the materials the Demon Lord was producing were.
***
Back in Rotenburg, Lord Beltos was bored. It would take nearly a week for the messengers to return, and he had already exhausted most of what he needed to do this past week.
So Villager B suggested a competition. There were various events, like rock throwing and wrestling, but it was mostly just stuff guys did to pass the time. This reminded Beltos of a small game he used to play as a child.
The War Game.
When he described the rules, the others replied with, "Chess? Isn't that really boring?"
But it used real people, not pieces of wood. This made for a very different take on the game.
And it for some reason became incredibly popular. Especially when the merchant from the Empire saw it. He saw a chance to make money, which made him instantly Beltos' friend.
Evil laughter could be heard from his room all night.
Followed by the words that most people here had heard many times.
"Let's get to work!"

Loremaster: A Progression Dark Fantasy
Serena had died a Celestial. One of the few who were meant to rule over the vast multiverse. Yet she was inexplicably reborn. Carrying the knowledge of her past life, she seeks to do what her kind does best... rule. Yet, the multiverse isn't what it once was. Mortals aspire to become what the celestials once were, through levels or classes or cultivation. New things that didn't and shouldn't exist. And these mortals are only the beginning of what stands in her way. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Warning: There will be times that morally suspect themes happen. While I have little to no intention of showing them (especially during a Writathon) things like abuse of all kinds (neglect, emotional, mental, spiritual, physical and sexual) can or be implied to have happened. These are played to the horrors such things are, and are treated with the seriousness and aftereffects it would cause. Progression + Cultivation + GameLit + Multiverse + Slow Build + Slow Burn + Worldbuilding + Grimbright + Multiple POVs = Insanity for all. This the first time I am seriously writing an original story. I will be Writing each book in Parts/Arcs (3-6) with mini arcs (3-6 in each arc). Each Mini-arc is 5-14 or so chapters. I like progression stories and I've always wanted to try and write one like a few of the web novels that inspired me. The Game Lit aspects will be more in the background, with focus on other details like dungeons, monsters, loot, morality, and so on. There will be focus on various kinds of progression. Updates 3-5 days a week (Usually weekdays). Chapters will be roughly 1000-2500 words and alternate wildly.

The Marauders
It has been thirty years since the end of the brutal Andromeda War. The Andromeda Republic was barely able to defeat the Zeta Empire, and its remnants retreated into uncharted space. At first, peace has been settled across the galaxy, but over the decades, the Andromeda Republic became more and more paranoid of the Zeta Empire returning. As a result, they slowly became tyrannical and started to use terrorist tactics to maintain control across the Andromeda Galaxy. But little did they know, the Zeta Empire has secretly been preparing and growing stronger to invade the Andromeda Republic ever since their defeat. With the republic going into turmoil, it is now the perfect opportunity for the Zeta Empire to strike. After the Zeta Empire returned from uncharted space on a full-scale assault against the galaxy, the Great Zeta War has started. Two years later, both factions were at a bitter stalemate. But the Andromeda Republic decided to hire a pair of former bounty hunters; a skilled sniper and pilot Bryce Kiness, and Agnar Reise, a heavy weapons specialist, to sneak behind enemy lines to find a way to end the war. Meanwhile, one of Zeta Empire’s flamethrower specialists, Kyle Savo, goes rogue and befriends a teenage prisoner of the empire named Arrua Veronis. After making a daring escape from the Zeta Empire, they come across the two mercenaries and decide to join forces, becoming the galaxy’s most daring group of mercenaries, the Marauders!
