《The Demon Lord’s Successor》1: The Summoning
Advertisement
You open your eyes and find yourself lying in the middle of a grand hall built from black marble. It’s dark and eerie despite light coming from countless chandeliers hung from the ceiling by entrails, tied together like a rope.
“Aargh!” You jump up and realize that you’re buck naked.
“Pardon for that—your clothes rotted away some time ago,” you hear a soft female voice.
Then you see a blonde girl come out of the shadows and walk up to you. Your attention quickly switches from her gigantic F-cup mammaries covered by a disproportionally small bra to the brown curved horns on her head and legs which are covered by fur with hoofs for feet. There’s no mistake about it—you have found yourself a minotaur monster girl.
“Allow me,” She snaps her fingers and robes materialize on your body. “We must hurry! Please, follow me.”
Still dazed and confused you follow the blonde. The last thing you remember is being trampled in an otaku stampede during a convention. So what is this place? Why is there a friendly monster girl in front of you? Have you died? Are you in a coma? With any luck, you have been revived in a fantasy world.
“Things are worse than you might realize,” the big-breasted minotaur said as they both exited the hall and walked down a long, dim corridor lit by torches placed on stone walls. Some of the wooden doors barely held on the rusted hinges. “Our great Lord is already one foot in the grave and the kingdom is in ruins. It took all the powers he graciously gave me to summon you, a worthy successor.”
You both reach a heavy metal door at the end of the corridor. The minotaur girl opens the door, its hinges squeak painfully. She walks in and you follow. The room is lit with a single candle, placed on a table next to a bed of nails.

After taking a couple of steps on a squishy, slimy surface you realize that the floor, the walls, and the ceiling are all made from guts and meat. You freeze, unable to move.
“Come here, my child!” You hear a frail, old voice coming from the bed. You feel a warmth spreading through your body, like after drinking a cup of hot cocoa out in the blizzard. You are able to move again and approaching the bed you see a long, shriveled corpse. It doesn’t even have eyes in its sunken, empty sockets.
“Give me your hand!” the corpse commanded, despite its mouth not moving.
As if moved by an outside force you reach to the corpse and place your hand on its shoulder.
Suddenly you feel a surge of energy go from your hand through your entire body. You scream out at the overwhelming feeling. But it's not pain. Rather, your whole body tingles and your heart beats faster, because you feel magical power fill your body and seep into every cell of your organism.
[Congratulations you have gained a class – Demon Lord]
[Level up!]
[Congratulations! You are now a level 2 Demon Lord!]
“Take care of my daughters! Good luck.. my... son...” the corpse slowly whispers and lets out one final sigh. It is dead.
“It is an honor, My Lord!” the minotaur girl exclaims and kneels before you.

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.

Writing to waste time. May not be anymore chapters or may be 100s of them, idk yet. Thanks for reading if you do, if you don't, no biggie. ^^
