《Heir of the Divine Phoenix》34. Bringer of Chaos [2]
Advertisement
'According to what my men said, they kidnapped this boy when they accidentally saw the Demon Empress giving birth on a forest, this is odd, however, this also means she was trying to hide this boy from the world, they say a Demon is at extreme weakness is when they give birth yet only one of my men returned...' The handsome black-haired man said as a cold glint appeared on his face.
'The Demon Empress was confirmed dead, it will probably take two to three months before the Demon King realize, then, I can threaten him with the boy so he'll give me what I want, if it doesn't work, I can at least delay him for months, if things go wrong, I'll only need to give back the boy and pay a little price...' He thought as his eyes narrowed slightly, he had already prepared if anything went wrong, alas, how could he know that because of that, his life would be doomed?
Meanwhile, Feuer finished reading as he thought out loud ''Isn't this the cause and effect? A random bastard does some sh*t and everyone life's f*cked up, how nice...'' but quickly, he shut up because many people stared at him as they said at the same time ''Shhh!''
He felt slightly annoyed since they also made a sound as they said it on sync ''Shhh nothing, shhh you...'' he said before standing up and going away, not caring about the relatively hateful stares he received by the people reading around him.
'I feel an ominous feeling...' He thought before saying on his mind ''Gaia, from now on, you're the Phoenix Guide System and you will be called Fenex, hn, so, Fenex, do you have any information about what Bringer of Chaos means? Don't state the obvious, please...'' he said on his mind while directly changing the Gaia System name to Fenex, he liked it because it simply meant Phoenix on a different language.

[As you wish, master, from now on, I'll be called Fenex, the theory Bringer of Chaos is actually correct because the Dungeons indeed power up from the chaos that is approaching, the one that created that theory simply thought it was a good name for the theory but it has a meaning: It is as you said, cause and effect, chaos only appear when a huge conflict will happen, the conflict can last for a second, a minute, a day, a month or even a year, it depends on how it will develop] Fenex, officially liking its new name, said before continuing
[Generally, it only happens when a strong figure provokes another strong figure from opposite factions like when the Human Race repeatedly provoked the Demon Race many years ago, I'm not able to trace the source of chaos, I only have this information for unknown reasons even for myself] It said, despite it sounding emotionless, Feuer could actually it had a helpless expression on it through that last sentence.
''You're such a useful system, not like unreliable ones with sentience I had read back then...'' Feuer mumbled in such low tone on his mind that Fenex wasn't able to 'hear' it, he felt happy his system wasn't unreliable.
He decided to test the Observe of the system, he looked towards a relatively big stone and said on his mind ''Observe...''
[Item: Medium Stone]
[Resistance: Extremely Low]
[Information: A random, medium-sized stone randomly picked by Master to be observed]
This was the information shown ''How do you judge something resistance?'' he said on his mind while a guess was already made before it was confirmed by Fenex [It is judged through your ability, for example, you have the ability to crush that Medium Stone easily so it was labeled as Extremely Low, a Mountain would have been judged as Extremely High, which means it is possible for you to do damages on it but you can't crush it with your current strength yet.] It said with its usual genderless and emotionless tone.

'Such a convenient thing, well, at least now I know I can't crush a mountain, what was how Wuxia novels described it? Oh, I remember, it was something like 'Crushing mountains and separating rivers', I guess? Don't remember, well, it will probably have a saying like that on the [Chnith] continent, well, probably...' Feuer thought while remembering the overbearing words those novels he had read back then, he kinda liked it.
Meanwhile, Auroria Kingdom, Royal Palace, Heinz and Celia were standing in front of the King, also known as Uncle Ale, as Heinz said ''Ale, I came to discuss seriously with you, about me and Celia...''
Uncle Ale face sunk but didn't interrupt him, Heinz continued ''I'm here to officially propose Celia, the person I fell deeply in love with, to marry with me, for that, I need your approval, her brother approval!'' he said, his eyes staring directly onto Ale eyes.
Celia saw her brother hesitant face and added ''Brother, I also fell in love with Heinz, I request your approval to our engagement!''
What she didn't know was that Ale was actually thinking 'First my daughter fall in love with his son and now my sister fall in love with my sworn brother, oh, my Holy and pure God, I need your guidance...' he thought before sighing 'Well, I have known Heinz for decades, he won't treat my sister bad, I can see through their eyes they're deeply in love, I just wonder if that rascal will treat my daughter well too...'
While Uncle Ale indeed has known the boy since he was born, he isn't sure if the boy will become a playboy that play with a girl heart, who knows? Besides, he hadn't even considered the fact that Diana may not even be accepted, he's confident about his daughter but also deeply worried.
''Sigh... I, the King, Heinz sworn brother and Celia brother, officially approve your marriage, it will happen in a month!'' Uncle Ale announced as he saw Heinz and Celia's expression changing to extreme happiness as they hugged each other ''Ok, you're approved but don't dare to hug, kiss or take advantage of my sister in front of me, bastard!'' Ale said as the happy couple quickly separated.
'My sister perfect and never tainted image was tainted...' Uncle Ale thought while feeling sad that the sister he was so overprotective was taken, he doesn't have any other affection aside from brotherly love but he still feels bitter, thinking his sister will forget him.
Celia, of course, saw his reaction and smiled slightly ''Brother, even if I were to leave the Kingdom, I would never leave you, you're my dear brother, after all, don't worry, this just means you'll have nephews and our family will be closer than ever!'' she said, Ale imagined the image of cute, little nephews running around his Royal Palace.
'I guess I'll approve it...' The tsundere King hesitantly thought to himself while imagining cute nephews.

8 149World Master
Hey! I once lived on your world back in 2056. But that was a long time ago and there’s probably no records of my existence. Or, maybe, I haven’t even been born yet… …I’m still figuring out of the timelines correspond. Anyways, I was or will be, or whatever you want to call it (maybe I am?), John Pitcher, a resident at St. Jude’s Hospital for the Mentally Ill. I was a computer programmer and my parents had me admitted there because I was convinced that I had been contacted by Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, about creating a world. Well, apparently, I’m something akin to the great times a hundred grandson of over 10 000 gods, and they didn’t want me to live an ordinary, dull life (well, except for the god of normalcy, but he doesn’t count). Set gave me three years to prepare myself. This begins right at the end of those three years. [participant in the NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] I originally had this as part of the prologue, then I realized that it made a better synopsis. Please note: this might seem a bit clunky because I haven't done a lot of writing, and this is supposed to be a kind of prequel to another story that I plan on doing in the future. I will not be fully explaining everything but instead will be explaining things in that other story. This is mainly to help fill in the lore of the world so that people will have at least a basic idea of how things function. Regardless of that, that story won't be written for at least another year, so deal with it. Note: I am using ideas from several different authors in order to make sure that this can be a proper story. You may or may not recognize where I got them. I am not writing a Fanfiction and do not claim these as my own. I will add to a list of titles below as I find myself using those ideas. World Keeper (obviously) The Wandering Inn The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound (not yet, but eventually) A bunch of others that I haven't thought of yet
