《Dark Moon : Rise of The Dark King》Second Arc (His Art of War) – 13. The King’s Arrival
Advertisement
Few days have passed, the sun is shining brightly in the sky above Graywood Village.
Armie entered the bar with a vigor step, his hand holding a bag. He walked to the mission board and tore an A mission containing Ruthless Serpent's fangs request. He approached the hunter guild master who was busy cleaning the bar table and put the request paper there.
"Master, I want to take this request."
The hunter guild master's hand stopped, he turned his gaze to the request paper in front of him then glanced at Armie briefly before continue to clean the table while shaking his head.
"What do you mean by that?" Armie protested.
The hunter guild master sighed as he turning his gaze to Armie.
"Are you taking the wrong request? Or are you tired of living?"
Armie grunted.
"Are you looking down on me?" he said as he placed a bag on the table and opened it, showing two big Ruthless Serpent's fangs.
The hunter guild master's eyes widened in surprise when he saw it. He returned his gaze to Armie.
"How did you get it?"
Armie snorted while folding his arms as he put on an arrogant face and raised his chin.
"Do you doubt my ability?"
"Actually, I happened to find that Ruthless Serpent was dead. So I just cut the fangs easily."
"Looks like I've been underestimating you all this time." The hunter guild placed the bag under his table, took a bag of coins and gave it to Armie.
"Alright, this is your payment."
Armie took the coin bag and placed it in his vest. He had just turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he saw someone he had not seen for a long time. He immediately approached with enthusiasm.

"Sir Zel!"
Angel put the teacup in his hand as he shifted his gaze to Armie.
"Sir Armie, how are you?"
Armie sat at his table nonchalantly.
"I'm fine. How about you? Did you decide to go on an adventure after our last meeting five years ago?"
"More or less," he replied.
"Then what brings you back to this village? Are you bored of adventure?" Armie approached him as he hugged his shoulder with one hand.
"Or are you interested in forming a group with me?" he said as he gave him a big grin.
He gave Armie a slight smile.
"Thank you for your offer. But I have other things to do."
Armie pulled him closer, then looked around before returning his gaze to him.
"Sir Zel, let me tell you. Now, I am the greatest hunter in this village. I will not invite anyone carelessly as a member of my group," he whispered.
"If that so, then instead of being a hunter wouldn't you be better off entering the military?" he asked.
Armie released his hand and plopped to his chair.
"The military is not my thing. I like to live freely, I don't like to follow annoying rules."
"That's too bad."
Armie brought his face back to him.
"I will tell you, even though our current king is far better than King Xenos, being military is not an easy thing. Moreover, the general position is now held by four elemental spirits. If something is wrong..." one of his hands swung in front of his neck mimicking the beheading motion.
"The king may order them to cut off our heads," he whispered.
After Armie finished speaking, suddenly a man with half-messy white hair wearing a black military uniform with an adamantite badge, entered the bar. Followed by several Euphorion troops. The whole bar was shocked by their arrival, who didn't know General Frost of Euphorion?

Frost swept his gaze around him and approached his table. Armie immediately looked away in fear.
"How could he know I was talking about him? "
Frost stopped in front of his table, Armie turned his gaze to Frost fearfully.
"General, I - I apologize-"
But before Armie finished his sentence, Frost bowed.
"Your Majesty, I have come to pick you up."
Armie looked at Frost in confusion.
"Your Majesty?"
Not finished with his confusion, Angel placed a gold coin on his table and stood up from his seat. He took the black military royal blazer in a troop's hand beside Frost and covered his shoulders with it. He turned his gaze to Armie.
"Calm down, Sir Armie. I'm not a kind of person who cut off people's heads over a trivial matter."
He turned around and walked towards the exit followed by Frost and the others. Armie could only be stiffened in shock, actually, it was not just him, but the entire bar was in shock. Armie turned his gaze to the hunter guild master who was standing behind the bar table with the same expression as him.
"Did I just talk to the king?"

Epilogue
Revised version now available! Amazon paperback, ebook, audiobook, Kobo, B&N, Google In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery, they brought peace to a warring land on the brink of destruction. As the flames died, the realm needed strong leadership, and who better than the champions who had saved the kingdom? But when the people sought out their saviors... they vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl: the four mysterious companions, who together had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives, were gone—spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, never to return. The friends found themselves home in the real world, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed... except only three came back. Hi there! This was my entry for National Novel Writing Month, because why only write one series at a time? The more the merrier! (meanwhile, my keyboard bursts into flames...) I'm also the writer of The Last Science, an ongoing low-fantasy/speculative sci-fi series. If you're familiar with that, you know what to expect here: lots of character-focused drama and dialogue, not a whole lot of traditional action. However, I'm writing a bit differently than usual here, and in a very different structure, so there should be some surprises for returning readers. I hope you enjoy it! [Discord] — for those of you who want to hang out and chat. Cover art (fullsize): Path of Revelation, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli. Normally I like to do my own cover art from scratch, but I was in a rush for the contest. Might be replaced down the line if I get time.

8 128The Limits of Limitless
Author's Note: So, new author here, nice to meet you from this lovely one sided conversation lol. I was so tired of waiting for the perfect story for me so I decided to write a few of my own. These are basically just to make me happy, but if you enjoy them too that would make me happy as well lol. ______________________________________________________________________________________ So once upon a time, there was a convienent, and slightly cliche, plot device used by a somewhat lazy author.... Which in turn, created an easily made story of how a lucky high schooler posing as a hardcore gamer dies only to resurrect in a fantasy reality, meeting beautiful women, powerful dragons and ancient beings, an assortment of insanely escentric fellows, and a certain over powered ring. Journey with them as they explore the wilderness of twisted imagination. Or for you old timey folk who like their synopsis a bit tame, here you go: Jason, a senor in highschool, is slowly failing school due to not giving a fuck. Like many people now in the year 3056, he is obsessed with the wonderful invention most lovingly called, 'True Virtual Realities'. now by using his obsession with his favorite Virtual Reality game called 'Reality Controlled', which is the first and so called best Virtual Reality ever made. it was basically the all around escape humanity wished for, and he with heaven defying luck came across one of the three cheat items the game developers left for themselves: The Limitless Ring. The ring was a support type item and had the ability to grant wishes, store worlds, clone items, grant skills and easily learn abilities. But those are just a few of the things it could do. Using the ring he successfully became the "best player" and had a herd of fans following him everywhere. It was a dream come true. Until, he was killed from a power surge that fried his brain which was hooked up to the Nerve Capsule, an unsafe prototype of the Dive gear that he bought do to low funds. The end. Or so you would think.... ______________________________________________________________________________________ Author's Note: I was, to be honest, wanting to do a collab, because to me it is sooooooo incredibly boring to write by yourself since you always know what happens next, however no one enjoys a bit of friendly cooperation *sigh* so I'm forced to journey these roads alone.... 'Tis but a sad fate tha' 'is here young'un has t' bear. The cover isn't mine, all rights and stuff goes to its artist and such.
