《The Demon Child - Awakening》Chapter 14 - Lunch
Advertisement
Nothing exciting happened during the classes; all we did was take notes. The subjects were math and history, I was average in math, but I didn't learn anything I already knew about the past. I finished early and made way to class nineteen, which ended not long after.
Lance saw me, and we made our way towards the cafeteria. It was an open area with marble pillars around the area and about twelve white tables, each of them having four seats. Lance and I made out way towards the cafeteria and were greeted with two men.
"Hello hello," One of the men yelled in delight.
"Welcome to a place of wonder and food, what would you like?" The other person finished.
Lance and I looked at a chalkboard which was filled with dishes I had never heard of. The dishes were sorted into four boards, one for drinks, two for main meals, and the final one were for dessert. Underneath it read, 'No more than five items', which seemed o be a reasonable amount.
Lance looked at drooling as he already knew what he wanted. I quickly followed, and he began to order.
"I'll have a raspberry tart, a strawberry cake slice, and a deluxe ham sandwich," Lance ordered.
After he stated what he wanted, I quickly followed suit.
"I'll have black coffee with a... beef burger?" I listed the gentlemen, confused about the second thing I ordered.
"We'll have it done in a jiffy," The men responded in a cheerful tone before going to work.
Lance and I were gaping in awe of how in sync the two people were at making food - some of the foods like the deserts we're already made - but it was still amazing to watch. After about thirty seconds, two platters were on the counter, one was mine, and the other was Lance's.
"How did you do that?" I asked them.
"When you've been in the industry for fifteen years, you know what the other's thinking," One of the men said.
"Wow, that's a long time! So, what do I owe you?"
"Everything in the cafeteria doesn't cost a bronze rume; we serve whoever is a student in the school,"

"That's an excellent service, what are your names for further notice,"
"One of our names is Lukio, and the other is Octer, you'll figure which ones which soon," Both of them said simultaneously laughing.
As I thanked them again, I sat down with Lance by the nearest table, as the rest were taken. I took a sip of my coffee, and by that time, Lance had already demolished the raspberry tart. With joy in his eyes, he began to destroy the cake slice as well.
About halfway through he started to punch his chest and held up his glass to me. I laughed and filled up his glass with small pieces of ice which melted, like what the principal did to me. I hesitated at that moment, but Lance didn't care and quickly gulped down the cold water.
"Hahahaha! Let me guess; you barely had sugary delights in Daishin?" I asked Lance sarcastically, finally eating a part of my main meal, which was delicious.
"Yeah, we barely had anything sweet, the only thing we had that was sweet was small berries,"
"Just remember to chew okay," I took a second bite, the burger filling my mouth.
"Yeah yeah, whatever you say, your royal highness,"
"I am not a royal of Keneros, I am a high ranking noble, with almost as much authority as any royal of the area!" I took a sip of my coffee.
As Lance and I were eating our main course, I heard a 'hey punk' in the distance. I turned around hoping it wasn't Frederick, instead I found the girl that had attacked Lance earlier. She was walking towards me with two large brown haired men trailing behind her. She walked straight up to the table and stood there, giving both of us a death stare.
"You got some balls standing up to me back in the first period," The girl snarled.
"Why are you bothering us again?" I sighed, lowering my cup.
"Because you humiliated me on the first day! And I didn't get to beat that guy to a bloody pulp," She pointed at Lance.
"Too bad so sad. Could you please leave us alone? We're trying to eat here,"

"No, in fact,"
She snapped her fingers, and the boy to her right punched me in the face. I went flying and hit a pillar across the open courtyard where the students would've eaten. I got back up, with rage boiling inside of me, I used my elf eyes to look at the situation. The girl grabbed Lance by the neck, and the two lackeys were making their way towards me. I summoned my incarnate weapon, and two daggers appeared in my hands.
I felt my source of darkness returning as I ran towards the lackeys. One of them saw me coming and sent a fireball out of his hands straight at me. The other one smashed the ground, causing a small tremor. I blocked the fireball by covering my arm in ice and hovered until the trembling subsided. As I was within arms reach of the fire lackey, I stabbed his right arm and dragged down my dagger, creating a deep and massive wound.
The lackey then screeched and wailed like a banshee before pulling my dagger. He seemed all better, which confused me; I used my elf eyes to zoom in on the stab spot to see it all healed. He seemed to have my demonic healing in him, but he didn't seem affected like when I used it. I rushed at the lackeys again, this time I made sure to keep my other weapon.
I dodged the continuous attacks they bombarded me with, and I got back my other dagger which was on the floor. After that, I stabbed both the lackeys in their arms and legs, making them fall. I subdued both of them by twisting one arm each and was now able to negotiate with the girl since I also had a hostage.
"Drop him!" I yelled.
"Suit yourself, do whatever you want to them, I just want to hurt him as much as I can!" The girl yelled back, tightening her grip.
"Drop him; otherwise I'll break their bones,"
"Suit yourself, both of them are replaceable."
My anger kept growing towards the girl, then something confusing happened, the arms of the lackeys were both getting cold. I then had a flashback of when the demon that controlled my body did; it froze the demon over. I then tried to focus my source into both the lackey's arms.
As I concentrated as much source as I could, I could feel my dark and ice source slowly turning into something else, I focused on my touch of their skin, and the lackey's arms froze over. When I could feel my source reaching the elbows of both of them, I stopped. Both of the lackeys then yelled again, and I could now see the fear emitting from the girls face.
"Drop him now; otherwise I'll smash their arms into smithereens!" I yelled even louder at the girl, my ghostly tail flailing around.
She then dropped Lance, who was white in the face, I then ceased my demonic ability and let go of both the lackeys. I ran towards Lance, but the girl stopped me, she put her lips very close to my ear.
She then whispered "In five days meet me behind the school, be there or else," In my ear before she took tail and ran.
I was standing still for a second, just summarizing what happened then ran to Lance. I got on my knees to look at his face, it was as white as a ghost, but it was slowly turning back to normal.
"Lance, are you okay" I gasped out.
"I will be fine, but I think I need a break from class," Lance replied.
I snorted and carried him to the school nurse. I then went back to classes for the rest of the day and was picked up by the carriages. After I got back to Jododams place, I immediately bolted straight out of the transport and into the dead trees. After about five minutes of running, I reached where Alicia usually meditated, and to no surprise, she was there.
"Alicia…" I panted
"Shhh Dyne, I'm trying to concentrate," Alicia replied
"We need to talk about something,"
"What do you need to talk about,"
"I was able to use my demon abilities, a new one."

8 65Tentatively Slime
In a land born straight out of fantasy, where endless plains of flowers paint a rainbow canvas across the land, and winged behemoths make their homes in lakes of cold fire. Beings capable of crushing mountains with their monstrous might, creatures that breathe fire and magic and death all at once. In this land, our story begins. Hello dear readers. Long have I been a voracious book gobbler and tonight I thought I'd try my hand. However I crave acknowledgement so please leave a review, all criticism is welcome. If my meagre offerings are accepted by the book gods, (and to a lesser extent, this community) I shall endeavor to persevere with my writing, though this was done on a whim. Probably will be edited at some point, perhaps blue box chan will make an appearance. Typos are likely, please point them out if you see any. And now that you have been captivated by my enchanting synopsis, please enjoy.
8 161Starlight Antiquities
There is a place in the galaxy that deals in antiquities of all kinds, human and non-human alike. Its inventory of artifacts is colossal as is its inventory of mercs who they hire to acquire any artifact a client may wish that is yet to come into their possession. The ill-reputable business is constantly rubbing against the changing tolerance of the Union's government, and there are many security officers who would love nothing better than to vaporize the whole place with its owners inside. Yet, there are many tasks that nobody can do better, especially in the vastness of deep space where Union law is worth less than the energy needed to display it. One of its jobs involves finding an artifact that may not only hold the future of the human race but may also disturb the balance of the whole galaxy. *** While waiting for the next season of Mandalorian and the Witcher, and rewatching Firefly for the gazillionth of time, I decided to write this space-based series. The series has some litRPG elements in it, but it does not read like one. So, you won't run into any blue screens here. Yet, I wanted to use litRPG to give another dimension to this whole story and make it as unique as possible. This is a work-in-progress. Hope to keep on improving and fixing my mistakes as I go along.

8 281The Plan
An infinite world couldn’t be real, but if it was, well this would happen. Imagine a world that isn’t covered in water, but an endless atmosphere. Plates of land, named “islands”, float and drift almost aimlessly. There is no sun, stars, roof, or floor; just boundless air in every direction. Light is generated from the movement of air flow. Magical and mystical powers keep islands floating and the world full of fresh entropy. Some of these floating islands drift upwards or downwards or any combination of volatile or patterned velocities. Air flow also follows the same characteristics of islands, which generates the light and heat. In a world with no horizon, the different inhabitants struggle. Beings calling them selves deities across the endless space are countless. If you were to fall off an island, you would inevitably hit another island; if you didn’t die from old age first. Many inhabitants don’t know the land further than their own eye sight or town they grew up in. Almost all inhabitants of islands have supernatural abilities, ranging in ability and skill. Magical abilities are kept individually; and mystical powers are borrowed. Islands float because the land is enchanted by either a magical or mystical crystal. Magical islands are known for vertical variance, while mystical islands are known for vertical stability. The islands rotate around focal points, known as 'the center'. There are many 'the center', but no one knows this yet... Warning: Tagged Mature 18+ for Strong Language, Gore, Violence, and sexual scenes. Google Drive (Click here to open new window) WIP/spoilers
