《A New Light In Interria》Chapter 10: Moonlight
Advertisement
After we parked our cart in an empty lot, we continued to the inn. The inn is called "Fire in the moonlit night".
"The two of you remember not to do some things that are too stupid," Sophia said as we come closer to the inn
I find it difficult to understand.
"Why ?"
"Because the landlady is quite a hothead."
"What do you…"
Suddenly a bunch of people was knocked out of the inn. Their faces were covered with light burns.
"Tch. We wanted some quiet time."
"If you mean card game time then please walk out of my inn and come back when you don't want to play cards. If you keep playing that stupid game in my inn, you know what's going to happen."
Those who were beaten quickly left the inn.
"Is that what you mean?"
"Yup."
We approached the person who beat the other guys earlier. It was a muscular woman about 40 years old. Her special feature was the burning flames on her head like her hair and bright smile.
"Oh, you're the one Tim mentioned. Welcome to my inn. My name is Amae. Please forgive me for what happened earlier." She giggled while walking toward me.
"It's okay, everyone has their own rules."
"Come on, what are we doing standing out here?"
We entered the inn. The furniture inside is all made of clear wood which is quite normal. Inside there were also quite a few guests and waiters. From humans to hominoids are all here.
"So, what do you guys want?" Amae entered what looked like a bartender's winery in the middle of the main room.
"I am Hades. I want to book a room for one person to stay for 5 days."

"Miss Sophia wants to stay here too, doesn't she?"
"Right."
"There are two rooms available for one person upstairs, rooms A12 and A3. Would you like to eat at our place?"
Veene's stomach suddenly growled. Veene was embarrassed and held my hand firmly while the other two were giggling.
"Then a meal for this little girl." Amae laughed after saying that.
"…Yes, thank..you…" Veene replied timidly.
"Veene this inn has delicious food, Sister Sophia promises to treat your property today." Sophia laughed while patting Veene's head.
"Do Mr. Hades want a meal ?" Amae asked me.
"No, I'm not hungry right now. What's the total amount?"
"Your amount to pay for a room at the inn for 5 nights will be 50 iron coins, Miss Sophia's 90 iron coins will be the room fee for 5 nights and 2 meals. And every meal after that will be charged 20 iron." Ms. Amae wrote it on a payment slip and brought out two keys with A12 and A3 engraved on the table.
"My dear Amae, can you give us a little discount?" Sophia spoke confidently while moving toward Amae.
"Hmmm. The fee for two people will be deducted by 10 iron coins if you will help my advertising."
"Of course," Sophia replied.
I gave her 1 silver coin and she exchanged 60 iron coins. Only 4 silver coins and 80 iron coins left. I told myself.
"Then I go to the room first. Veene, stay down here and eat with Sophia." I walked up the stairs to the upper floor with my backpack and a few items.
"Yes, Mr. Hades," Veena replied.
I went upstairs and entered room A12. The room is quite clean, equipped with a bed, a lamp emitting a strange light, and wooden furniture. There is also a bathroom, which has a window looking out onto the outdoors. I put my backpack and some items like daggers, money bags and the clothes I bought on the table. I collapsing and thinking about what happened today.

"Calm down, calm down." I gasped while talking to myself.
Things that happened today. I calmed myself down and systematized what happened today. I walked into the bathroom. There are only a sink, a toilet, and a head shower inside. I wash my face in the sink and then look outside the window.
"Today is a long day and the days to come will be longer." I thought to myself while looking towards the two moons that slowly appear in the horizon sky, one dyed in bloody red, the other dyed in dark blue.

A Merchants Tale
Legends rise. Country’s fall. Empires wage war. But what supports these great powers, allowing them to function as a single organism. Is it the common man, Farmers and Millers forming the backbone of the land? The Soldiers and Guards keeping public order? The Wives and Widows supporting from the side-lines? The Nobles from their seats of power? Or the elusive Sorcerers who wield power untold? And what maggots crawl in this great creature, all trying to get a piece of its slowly decaying flesh. The gangs of the Underworld hidden in the shadows? The Bandits and Deserters hiding at the edges, ready to pounce on any weakness? Witches and Warlocks working their dark art? Or other Nations clawing at their neighbour’s, salivating over the riches they stand to gain from another’s demise. There is one group that belongs to neither group. They thrive on others misfortune and bring with them salvation and destruction in equal measure. They can raise a kingdom up or tear it down screaming and kicking. These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith. Merchants come in many forms, shapes and sized, some gaudy, bleeding the people for all their worth, some tricky, preferring to make contracts and debts to trap men. And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)
8 65Wailing and Gnashing
Some are born to save life. Some damned to endure it. To those who dwell in the dark, gnashing their dagger teeth with hunger, life is for feeding on, and they've just discovered an endless feast. "There are those whose teeth are swords,whose fangs are knives,to devour the poor from off the earth,the needy from among mankind."-Proverbs 30:14

8 248Reborn in The Marvel World
The story centers around a boy who has been reincarnated and as a result, can't remember who he is. The last thing he remembers before dying is fighting with his friend about which superhero franchise is better. The next thing he knows, he has been reborn as Zen Shade, a half- black, half- Japanese kid. Let’s just say as soon as he gets shot out of the womb, shit hits the fan. His new mom is not ordinary. She takes out ninjas with a magic sword right after giving birth. Zen thinks she is a badass and does not want to get on her bad side. After being born, he moves to New York and sees the Avengers’ Tower. He later realized he has been reincarnated in the Marvel world. The first fourteen years of his life were pretty chill. He learns a whole lot of shit from his mom from sword fighting to Qui control to martial arts even medicine and poisoning and he even gets a special sword that can cut through anything. One Day, he is at the bank that a super villain tries to rob. He lets it go; none of his business; he is not a hero. But, they piss him off. So, using his skills and his sword, Kurohime he beats the super villains. This gets the attention of the Principal of Avengers Academy, Old Man Tony Stark who recruits Zen to the academy. There, he meets the kids of super heroes such as Spiderman, the Hulk, and even Thor. He makes friends and enemies. Being a super hero is easy; surviving high school with a ton of super-powered, emotionally unstable teenagers, now that is the hard part.
8 281Dramione - The Accidental pregnancy
Yes it is a dramione story, set up a few years after the war. When the annual Hogwarts alumni ball brings everyone together, the last thing anyone expects is for Draco and Hermione to end up together in a bed-drunk. Lots of Dramione, baby and Draco moments n loads of fluff.Ron is not portrayed badly, I wouldn't even dream of it. There is a villain, there is mystery. My very first writing work. Go on, give it a go! Be as honest as u can in the comments if u wish to give me one?
