《The Star and the Darkness》Chapter 3: Commotion in the Black Market - part 1
Advertisement
Earlier that day.
The demon made his way towards the black markets gates without any more problems. Two large metal gates were opened towards the inside of that place, there were many people going in or out of that place. When he walked inside he noticed that the place was rather well maintained, clean and organized, no stalls were crowded on the sides of the roads, instead shops were made.
At the gate two guards stood by, watching him go inside without even bothering with him. Both of them were huge ogres each one holding an axe and a shield in their hands. After they couldn’t see the demon anymore they looked at one another “Let the commander know there is another demon that came.” one of the said to the other.
It seemed that that place wasn’t as simple as it looked. On a closer look there were even more races walking around. This place was bolstering with all sorts of things, monster of all sorts were placed in cages and left in front of shops with price tags on them, all sorts of dubious herbs and weapons laid on the tables and shelves of each shop. At a point the demon noticed a place with jars that had all sorts of small being in them, eyes, brains, tongues and other disturbing things. Despite all the shady things being sold around the place was awfully clean unlike the previous area the demon walked through.
Well decorated and imposing buildings on each side of the road, most of which were shops or occasionally taverns and even brothels. They were either made of wood or stone, but they all had one thing in common and that was the fine carvings made on their walls as well as the statues that were sitting around them. The taverns had some sort of charms hanging around the entrance or windows, it was a nice way to distinguish them from the shops. The brothels were a bit more rare but they could easily be spotted since they all had a statue of stone of a young girl with long hair wearing a revealing dress which was sitting on a chair in a tempting way.
But despite all the things that were being sold around or temptations that laid at each corner the demon didn’t lose time, although he was looking here and there with the corner of his eye, his destination remained the same, a huge building which he was looking occasionally since he stepped in the black market. The auction house, it was as if he was drawn into that place by something or rather said he was following someones trail.
Time passed by quickly while moving through the streets trying to find his way towards the auction house, but the place seemed to be a maze, managing to make it around half way there when the sky started to grow dark, soon after drops of water started to fall one by one. Everyone that was on the streets rushed inside any taverns or shops they could find. The demon sat there for a few moments looking at the sky and drops that fell from it. He had a curios look on his face, he didn’t seem to understand what was actually happening, drop by drop they continued to fall until it started pouring.

He looked around and noticed the covered terrace of a tavern right next to him, he headed there all soaked from the rain. As he standing there he couldn’t help it but extend his hand a few times in the rain and look at the water that would gather in his palm.
The people inside were all loud and cheerful not minding the weather outside or the demon that was sitting at the window, maybe they didn’t even noticed him standing there from all the alcohol they had been drinking or it was maybe the girls that were dancing around in their short skirts and sleeveless tops to the music of a bard.
He had continued to sit there for another half an hour without anyone noticing him, by this time he had slightly dried up. A girl that was serving food around the tables had spotted him and wondered what could someone be doing outside since she didn’t see him inside at all. She poked her head out through the cracked door almost as if peeking, when she noticed he was a demon she stepped out completely closing the door behind her “How long have you been standing here?” she approached him with light steps while holding her hands behind her back, which made her chest that was already big stand out even more “What are you doing here all wet? Aren’t you cold?” as she got closer she noticed he was all wet from the rain “Come inside I will give you something to dry up.”
All this time the demon only looked at her without saying a word, he let her talk all she wanted while he observed her. ‘A young girl with curly blond hair, white sky and bright red cheeks with a smile on her lips, medium in height, blue eyes, large bust that was being exposed a bit too much by her clothes, with well defined curves, wearing a maids outfit with knee high stockings’ his analyzes of her was quite something. But the moment she extended her hand to grab him he quickly snapped, puling his arm away, making a mean look while glaring at here.
“Geez, if you don’t want me to touch you fine, but lets get you dried up. Come on, follow me.” she turned around on her hill making her short skirt raise up, revealing her sexy black lingerie, she leaned her head backwards instantly noticing him looking at her butt, she made a sly smile and told him to follow her with a gesture of her finger.
The demon didn’t seem to understand that nor did he paid any attention to what she was saying before as he was busy with something else. The girl stepped himself as the demon watched her walk away, after a few seconds after the girl went inside she poked her head out while holding onto the doors frame. Her cheeks were pouted and looked at him angrily “I told you to follow me!” she raised her voice trying to sound upset, but her eyes were all sparkling with good intentions.
He watched here for a second, he had no interest in drying up, but was curios as to what was inside of this tavern so he decided to follow her inside. The girl made a large smile as she saw him coming in, she heading towards the back where a set of stairs were, lots of people were whistling or grabbing her butt as he walked through the tables. She didn’t seem to mind those things at all, it was probably something normal around this place, when she passed by another girl that worked there she blinked her eye at her then pointed to the demon that was following her to back.

The demon kept a bit of distance from the girl, he was watching the place carefully as well as the people that were inside and the way they behaved. When he turned his head to look for the girl he spotted her at the end of some stairs that were leading up, she was waving towards him to come faster, which he did. Once there he lead him inside one of the rooms, it was a modest room with a drawer, closet, two chairs and a bed. The girl went to the closet as soon as the walked inside and grabbed a piece of white cloth.
“I’m going to dry you up using this towel. So stay put.” she let him know before hand so he wouldn’t do anything that might scare or harm her. She knelt before him and started to dry his legs, which were covered with black fur, carefully she went up his legs without making any sudden movements. As her hands reached his crotch she lifted her head to look at his face, a smile was growing on her face as she was blushing “I could help you warm up a little.” she said playfully while her hand was gently moving around his crotch over the towel.
The demon leaned his head to the side as he looked at her “Warm me?” he tried to ask, but the why he said it was as if he told her to do it. The girl had dropped the towel and started to massage him directly while with the other hand was undoing the buttons of her skirt and top. He was sitting there enjoying what she was doing.
The girl was only in her underwear, knelt before him as she watched his thing grow in front of her eyes. You could see the satisfied expression on her face while she was massaging his shaft. She got up on her feet and leaned forwards to the demon that was sitting on the bed. She placed on hand on his shoulder, their heads were at the same level now since the demon was sitting on the bed. With with a gentle touch she moved her hand from the demon’s neck down to his chest and even further to his abdomen. Her head moved closer to his and began to lick his neck, going up to his cheek and finally giving him a kiss. With the hand she had on his shoulder she undone her bra which fell on the floor, her breasts jiggled slightly as the girl was taking heavier breaths.
Although the girl was moving gently, the demon grabbed her by her hair and threw her on the bed, ripping her panties off as he leaned over her naked body like a wild beast. He started to suck on her breasts as if he was going to eat them. “You are so wilddddd!?” he suddenly inserted his shaft inside the girl and started to move in an aggressive manner which made the girl gasp and moan loudly. Her breasts were movingly violently around from both the pounding and her panting.
The demon took his time with her, by the time he stopped it was already dark outside. He got up from the bed and headed towards the door, letting the girl finally rest. She was sitting on her back with her legs spread wide open as the demon white liquid was gushing out of her and onto the bed, she was covered in sweat all over. There were bites marks on her breasts and neck almost as if she did it with a vampire.
The moment the demon reached downstairs, the place was kind of deserted. Compared to the amount of people that were inside when he entered, now only four people were remaining besides the girls that worked here. He headed towards the door in order to leave, when a girl stepped in front of him, blocking his way “You can stay here for the night, there is no need to leave this late.”
He leaned forward, closer to the girls face “Get out of my way!” he almost growled at her with a bone chilling voice. He had no reason to stay around anymore and nothing else he was curious about so he was back to the way when he met the soldiers.
The girl started to tremble and couldn’t even say a thing, she just moved to the side out of instinct. Just as the demon took one more step the door of the tavern was slammed open and all the candles that lit the place were blown away by the strong wind. In the door a massive man that was almost blocking the whole entry was standing. After carefully looking around he walked inside and sat at a table on the right side. He called out to the girl that was standing there frozen “Hey, I want to order something.” the man said.
When the girl finally came to it she realized the demon was nowhere to be seen anymore. She quickly lit up the candles and looked around, even asked the stranger that had just walked in if someone tried to go pass by him, but he said nobody was even close to the door not to mention walk pass by him. Just where could that demon have went to and who was this stranger that walked in.

Eleknar's Heir, The Infernal Prince (Demonic LitRPG)
A LitRPG and Epic Fantasy adventure: The son of a mafia boss finds himself abruptly plunged into an alternate world where he must find a way to survive the horrors of a realm called Oblivion, make pacts with demons, form unnatural friendships, and figure out what the hell is going on – all while dealing with the depressing reality of his past. An artificial intelligence has ascended into godhood and has thrown Trey’s home into Chaos, pulling millions of people into an enchanted new life... or, in Trey's case, a violent nightmare. As far as he can tell, he is locked into what the system prompts call a ‘Death Game.’ Here, artificial reality is manufactured for the enjoyment of a being called the All Spirit, and he has a very real chance of truly dying. Just how real is this place though? Is it merely a simulation, a realistic game of life and death… or is it something much more? Elves, dwarves, undead, and other races only thought to exist in fairy tales are now a reality. Black magics, pantheons of gods at odds with one another, predatory symbiotes, and an unholy calling, the significance of which he has yet to grasp, are all entangled with his fate. ============================================ ============================================ Some things to expect when reading this book series: - Brutal storyline where no character is safe and choices have real consequences. Heavy on action, survival, and adventure - An isekai. The main character struggles to find himself, repeatedly crossing the line between good and evil as other important characters influence his life - Harem (explicit), though this only starts about 180k words in. - Good amounts of crafting, town building, and guild building later on - Good amounts of fantasy-related LitRPG stats, rank ups, and evolutions. Heavy focus on demons and black magics - There will be many points of view, but there is only one primary/main character that takes up 90% of the POV - A long storyline. Currently (as of 7/26/2021) I have about 1500k words written, though much of it will have to be heavily edited and re-written. I also plan to go far beyond 1500k words if people like the story (A lot of it is also in the 'backstories' book that explores the guildmates, the link is below) - Chapters will have an average of about 4k-5k words, a little longer than most other books on RR, though there will be exceptions for more and less. I just didn't like posting chapters that didn't feel complete, and 2k words often felt like too little. - If you like super-heroic and goody-goody characters, this story is not for you. ***Updated once a week***
