《The Demon Lord’s Successor》6: Honesty
Advertisement
For a second you do wonder if it was wise displaying your Sexomancy spells so blatantly. But when you think about it, why bother hiding it? Your sister is the daughter of a Demon Lord—a being that must have impregnated half the kingdom, judging by how many offsprings he managed to produce. Honesty is the best policy, after all!
“It seems I have inherited mostly two types of magic from my father—demon magic and perverted magic,” You explain. “One of those spells allows me to arouse several enemies at once, which is at the very least a great way to diminish their fighting ability, though I suspect it will not be as useful against strong-willed opponents.
There is a spell to enlarge a male member, in case you have a friend in need. I suspect I could find a lot of men willing to pay a pretty penny for this. Though the most powerful of all my spells might be the one that lets me submit an enemy to my will. Honestly, the possibilities are nearly limitless—interrogation, assassination or just plain torture.
There’s not much to say about my main offensive spells—I cast them, and people die. Though I was surprised about my imps being little girls. Is that the norm here?”
“No, it isn’t,” Ariadne replies and looks at the imp girls, that are sitting around a campfire, surrounded by the mutilated bodies of the bandits. The lolis are giggling and cheerfully chatting with each other while cooking meat on their daggers over the fire.
“Neither have I ever heard of such... strange magic,” Ariadne says with her arms crossed. “If my father did have such spells, then he clearly made sure to never speak of them.”
Just then all three imp girls turn into figures of dark energy that instantly disintegrate into tiny fragments. So there’s a time limit on the summons, even if they don’t die, you conclude.

“Who was that cloaked man commanding the attackers? Did you get him?” You ask your sister.
“No, he escaped, as always.” Ariadne sighs. Then her eyes snap wide open and she kneels before you. “I-I am terribly sorry, My Lord! P-please forgive my incompetence!”
“Just tell me what you know,” you say to her calmly.
“O-of course, My Lord!” Ariadne bows her head. “What little I’ve been able to find out is that he’s some sort of equipment summoner that finds fools to do his dirty work for him. Of course, every time he disappears all his “gifts” go with him. He probably thinks we have some rare and valuable artifacts hidden in the dungeons.”
“And do you?”
“N-not for a long time, My Lord. This is common knowledge for most, but some fools try their luck nonetheless. With your permission, I will set out immediately to hunt down that man once and for all. Please allow me to correct my mistake!”
"Where would you even look?"
"There is an outpost in this region, where scum like this gathers. I can use a teleportation spell to get there instantly."
You consider your options. The cloaked man has seen your magical abilities, so it would be a good idea to capture or kill him. If he uses such weaklings for his work, then he can't be that strong, but there's a chance to run into much more powerful enemies. Not to mention that he could be anywhere if he has the same kind of teleportation abilities.
"Before that, tell me—is there some sort of an Adventurer's Guild in this world?"
"A-ah, I know of one, yes!" Your sister stutters. "I've seen it once in the city where my sister lives."
You're going to need a lot of money to rebuild your kingdom, and signing up as a newbie adventurer seems like a safe way to start out. Not to mention both you and your sister could use better equipment. But isn't it too risky to go into such a populated area straight away? Perhaps it's a better idea to stay here and check your surroundings. Just a moment ago the enemy was literally on your doorstep after all.

Bloodlines
Bloodlines is the first major story set in the far larger and immensely connected universe known as Infinitum. A group of renegades and misfits take into the sky in their fancy skyship to fulfill the prophecy they don't care about and defeat the Empire they care even less about. In the process, they learn things (they would rather not) of the fucked up Universe, dead gods, and the future that holds no mercy. Bloodlines draws inspiration from One Piece. But in the bigger picture, Bloodlines is one of many stories set in Cosmere-like universe where plots stretch beyond planets and star systems and stakes are higher than godhood (like in Malazan chronicles). Currently, I am planning to finish the first arc [Bandit Arc], add 10k words interlude with some revelations, then publish a story happening elsewhere. Then I will be back to write the second arc. For now, the Fifth Region has 8 arcs planned. Officially, there are 5 regions. The Fifth Region is not the shortest but is far from the longest regions. - PS. Pay attention to flavor text. Chapters published weekly.

Reverie
Natalin thought that being a champion of the gods was supposed to make things easier. It turns out, life isn’t that simple. For centuries, the four gods that rule the land have each chosen a hero, a mage-warrior to act as eyes and hands in the world. Gifted with their Divine’s blessing, these Ascended and their successors have worked for centuries to ensure the land stays at peace. As the new Tideborn, the disciple of the sea god Efren, Natalin is expected to follow in their footsteps. Her counterpart Takio finds himself in the same boat, tasked with keeping his volcano goddess patron in check. The demands placed on them are immense, but together with their nations, they’ve managed to keep the peace. Until the crops and grasslands begin failing, sending Takio’s mountainous nomads careening towards war. Natalin’s shores fall under siege, destroying the seabound trade routes that keep their nations flourishing. When the very safety of the four champions is threatened by the growing chaos, Natalin and Takio realize the truth - their Divine favor won’t protect them. And there’s more at play in their ‘peaceful’ world than they’d thought. Cover art by Rin! Check out her work!
