《Pandemonium of a Lazy Soul》Episode 14-The Food that Melted the Frozen Heart
Advertisement
Wait a minute, Smith never explained to me the role of memorial stone. Did he purposefully divert me, so as to avoid answering the question of what memorial stone is? Why is he so secretive about memorial stone? Even so how did he divert me? Did he use his award to somehow manipulate my behaviours to what he wished, so he would never have to answer that question?
I would have never noticed it if I hadn't reviewed the memories stored in my soul to read the documents. This means the source of memorial stone and its origins are kept in really high secret for a reason then. I should investigate on this later.
I have spent the time I was sleeping to go and review the memories of me reading in my soul. From what I have read each kingdom under the empire is pretty much self-sufficient. Therefore the empire doesn't need to provide them with anything for each kingdom, which means the empire is controlling all these kingdoms either using a secret resource that would entice these kingdoms to come under the empire, or by using raw strength to force them to come under or even both.
But now since I understand the general situation of the empire I need to find a way to transfer the virus out of the kingdom, without leaving any kind of trace back to me, along with that I have to make a Rioxin D and modify it.
The modification of Rioxin D I have to do is to make it that once the virus invades the body it will take about 10 days before it starts its attack, next is to make the ability of virus multiply faster and stop their ability to evolve. This is so that if they can multiply faster they might even evolve to the use of the antidote and get out of control to cause the end of this world and its creator, aka me.
I went out of my room earlier than usual, as I heard sound of plates and cutleries clattering, as the cooks in my house got ready to prepare the food for me and everyone else.
I waited in the dining room for some breakfast while thinking about a way to make some money. The only source of money I got is the pocket money I receive every month for being a son of an emperor. That only amount to roughly 10 chips. From everything John has saved up so far I only have roughly 30 chips or to be precise 32 chips. I need to find a source to make money, but what can I do to make some money, while at the same time not draw too much attention to myself.

While I was thinking the server came in with food. They looked at me sitting in the dining table. They usually don't see me as I only come in after the table and food is prepared on the table. There was an awkward silence as the assistant wasn't sure whether to ask me to move away while he prepared the table or to not ask me and prepare the table while I am sat there.
I spoke up not wanting to waste any more of my time "Don't bother to set the table to be fancy anymore like you do for nobles. Just bring the necessary cutleries and plates for me to eat on the table and clean the table and cutleries after I am done. Only set the table if I have guests."
"I can't do that my lord. We were always told and taught..."the server was about to reason me with why they were doing this so I interrupted him before he could even start his lecture.
"I don't care what you have been told or taught. I don't want to waste my time every day for these useless formalities. Inform the other servants and maids, from now on the not waste their time trying to do fancy things and just to try and get things done, except when there are guests. I won't repeat myself, so I presume you understand and will try to make others understand, if not then I will have to take some action."
The servers face looked conflicted, but he nodded his head and set the cutleries and plates down, then served me food. The breakfast today was a few stuffed pancakes that had cream stuffed in between, along with some fruits, few choices of caffeine drinks, and a bread with some kind of green spread pasted on top of it.
I ate some pancakes and some fruits. I left the coffee, tea and bread with the weird filling colour untouched. I turned to the server and said, "From now don't serve me any coffee or tea. And try not to make too much food next time. I don't like it when food is wasted." I said that as I stood up. It's not I hate drinking coffee or tea but never liked the taste of any coffee or tea no matter even if it was the legendary coffee made for God. I lived most of my mortal life without drinking coffee or tea, as well due to not liking it in the past.

As I was leaving the server asked me "Lord please wait." I halted and turned towards him.
His face had a slight fear in them as he saw a completely different lord to the one he served for the past 15 years. His lord always came on time for food, and never bothered to complain about food or how they worked in the past. But since the day of his awakening he didn't bother to come for food, and today when he came he made some new rules for us to follow.
The servants of the house had to rely on their master if they wanted to survive. If their mastered fired them, then they will have to go out of the palace to find a new job. A job inside the palace is much better than any jobs outside, so the servants always tried to get on the good side of their master.
"What is it?" I asked him as I saw his scared face.
"One of the new chefs wanted you to taste this new spread that he made and give him your opinion." The butler said as he pointed at the untouched food.
"What is the spread made of?" I asked
"I am not sure my lord. The new chef made new recipe this morning and he won't say the contents of the recipe. We all tried it before you my lord to make sure there was no harm. It tasted really good and the head chef asked my lord to try it." The server replied
"I see." The new chef probably wants to impress me and thus get some kind of bonus or promotion. But if all of them tasted it to the point where even the head chef wants me to taste it, it must be really good then. But the problem is all food taste like crap to me, oh well lets just give it a try. I took the piece of bread an gave it a try.
The server waited to see the teary or surprised expression that was going to appear on his lord's face. When they all tasted the spread, they all nearly cried, thinking they had been eating such rotten food compared to the spread all their lives. Few of the chefs even wanted to quit their profession for making disgusting foods all their lives compared to the spread.
Surprisingly his lord made no such expression. Could it be they used they wrong spread instead of the godly spread? No that can't be, the head chef even personally made sure to prepare the spread and bread. But why is the lord not happy with this food, when even the head chef, who has tasted one of the best foods in the empire, cried before this spread.
Even after eating the whole bread his lord made no expression. The server got worried thinking how to reply to his lord. But suddenly his lords his lids flew open, with his eyes almost bulging out. Although it was different to the expressions they had made, he is still shocked by the taste. The server sighed a relief. His lord closed his eyes before opening them and asked him "Ask the head chef to see me now."
"Yes lord" I replied before running of to inform the head chef the good news. I opened the door to kitchen as I saw the head chef standing there anxiously while rest of the chefs were preparing the breakfast for the maids and other servants of the house.
Seeing me running the anxiousness on his face grew. I stopped to catch my breath before saying "The lord wants to see you."
Hearing that the head chef shot of to the dining room.

8 94Petmaster Evolutions
This is a story about an ordinary earthling that sees the impossible and because of that gets kidnapped and introduced the the system called Odyssey which infects planets with mana to create monsters. This story will follow his journey through his trials. I do not believe in overpowered so I will not allow the MC to get to god mode. Since I started writing, the story has evolved some from chapter 1 on through as some stuff just did not make sense and in my mind the story has become clearer. Eventually I will have to go back and edit the beginning chapters to match the rest of the story but I do not have time at the moment. I will update as often as possible but I work full time, school full time, and have a 18 month old and an infant. I make no promises on time between new chapters. Honestly I did not expect people to follow the story and I just wanted to write for the fun of it and to see how the story that was running around in my head came out. I appreciate all of you who take the time to read my story and help me make it better by pointing out any mistakes I make. The only editing and proofreading I manage to do is the word app Grammarly so I miss things sometimes.
8 65The Magic Man (Very Dead)
John was a fan of system apocalyspes, so he thought he knew what coming when he got caught up in one. He was wrong. This was an apocolypse in the original sense of the word, an unvieling. There were no ravenous hordes of monsters, no genocidal tutorials, and certainly no aliens from another dimension. Just humans. So John thought, "How can I exploit this?" This is my first story, and I am writing it as I go. Dont expect a regular update schedule or much long-term foreshadowing.
8 92A Hunt Upon Wings of Shadows
Lianne has spent the last few years of her life as a nomadic monster-hunter, aimlessly taking jobs and disappearing without a trace. Her innately high ether reserves are the only thing that’s keeping her alive. After a painful yet successful contract, she receives an offer to hunt a peculiar beast from a mysterious man who- much to her dismay- pairs her with a man by the name of Sirius, a skilled swordsman with too much empathy to give out. At the same time, inside the impossibly tall walls of the divine city, a group of soldiers including a naive yet powerful girl by the name of Felicia, an exemplar soldier named Raynauld, and a scarred and aloof woman named Maria prepare to head out on a mission to deliver justice to a deserter who is reported to be in a large town far outside the lush interior of the city. However, the two groups will find that their paths will intertwine, and painful memories will push them against each other at every turn, with new monsters emerging from the shadows to pick each of them apart piece by piece. ************************** Alright, so this is the first book I've posted here, and I've been sitting on this idea for a long while. I'm open to any pieces of criticism, and I would be glad to receive tips and advice. Enjoy! Normally, new chapters come out Saturday nights, sometimes double uploads if there's a short chapter or if I feel like it. That's subject to change if I run out of the current backlog. Second note, this is the first draft, and some things (like a few characters) are going to be cut. It's still going to be the same storyline, but keep that in mind.
