《The Demon Child - Awakening》Chapter 36 - Bite
Advertisement
"My name is Lance; I will be teaching most of the basic lessons, the woman next to me is Sasha, she will teach sorcery and language lessons,"
Many of the boys in the class were eyeing Sasha, seeing them made me disgusted, an emotion which I barely felt. I was always captivated by woman's beauty, but I never showed it off as those boys did. Although I didn't mind much, the girl students seemed to mind Sasha, giving her hateful stares.
"The last one of this group is Dyestral, he will be teaching history and physical activities," lance looked around the class and looked at me. "Another thing I should add about him is that he is Sasha's fiance,"
All the boy's expressions turned to me in hate, most of the girls calmed down to Sasha, and a few of them eyed me instead. All I did was smirk and let Lance finish his speech.
"We have come here to teach you as by a program to increase students at the high school capital of Onsice; we will come back here in an hour. I will see you then."
Lance and Sasha then left through the door while I jumped and went through the ceiling, landing myself on the roof. I walked around the court, before sitting in the middle of it, practising my meditation. I counted for an hour before I opened my eyes and went into the teachers cabling, inside Sasha was sitting down on a chair reading a book.
I decided to sit down on the bed next to her, and we began to talk. I knew I was up next to teach history, next, so I left after a while and decided to listen in at the classroom. When I heard Lance finish talking, I decided to switch with him. Lance and I switched places flawlessly, and I took the teaching seat.
I got up and got some chalk which was on the desk; I began to write my name on a blackboard which was behind my seat. After I was done, I turned around and began to twirl the chalk around my left hand.

"Greetings, I am Dyestral Blutrot, and I will be teaching you history, I will not repeat myself and when I am teaching, you each have three circles, if I cross all your circles, I will teach you a L E S S O N!" I crushed the chalk in my hand.
I forced my aura, telling everyone that I was serious. Looking around, everyone went still, all but one. A fireball was hurled at my face, creating a burning feeling when it struck, melting my skin and smoke appeared in the room. My skin quickly healed before the smoke dissipated, and I looked to where it came from.
I immediately stared at a familiar face, Frederick. Even in a while, I've been away; he was cocky as ever, probably even more since I disappeared. I began to cough and look at him, seeing his very face made me sick. Frederick had grown since I last saw him, making himself look monstrous on the outside. His eyes were now a different colour; fire red somehow. After a moment of staring at each other, I began to talk.
"Now students, an attack of a teacher is considered a strike; now I believe that attack if you saw, was made by Mr Nadone, first name Frederick. Could you please state why you did that?"
"Isn't it simple? Everyone here was scared of your aura other than me, and I refuse to learn from someone who is underneath me," Frederick put his feet up on top of his desk, as he was trying to anger me, it wasn't working well.
"I see, but as you might've figured out, that was just my aura,"
"So? What about it,"
"I'm talking if I add something else,"
"Like what's going to get me to kneel,"
"I'm talking about something known as, INSTINCTS," I released my bloodlust with my amplified aura, making even Frederick close his eyes and protect himself. I took that small window of time and used my lightning source to dash and squat on his table.

Frederick opened his eyes and fell onto the floor, frightened of what I was. I looked down on him, disgusted of how he still not has changed in the short time I haven't seen him.
"You were the farthest away from that, and yet I can see you shivering a bit, isn't that right?"
"I-i don't know what you're talking about,"
"If I released that again right here, what would happen?"
"I don't know, but I would still kick your ass,"
"Still so full of spirit, but no, you would faint if I was that close to you, as many of your peers who are around you,"
Frederick looked around and noticed that a lot of people in the back row had fainted already. I already saw a lot of them act like Frederick at the small glimpses I could muster, he knew that as well, that if I can defeat someone who is like Frederick, I could also do it to him.
"Okay, open your right hand,"
Frederick did so willingly. "Now what Dyestral?" He asked.
"Now this,"
In my mouth, I bit my tongue, tearing it away, now just a bit of flesh. I put my right hand in my mouth and took it out, putting it on Fredericks and while rolling his hand up making him clutch it. I then opened my mouth, making blood spill everywhere on the table while showing that I had already regrown a new tongue.
"Strike one; if you get to three of them, it'll be your tongue in my hands, I believe you know demons have advanced healing abilities?"
Frederick nodded.
"And I don't care how much you wail, no one will heal you, unless I say so, understand?"
He nodded again.
"That's great! Now we can get back to class!" I jumped off his desk without destroying it and was back near the blackboard.
"Wait a minute, if you are going to remove my tongue for a day? Why should I be that worried as I can regrow it with a potion? You said no could heal me, but what about myself?" Frederick asked.
"I'm sorry, I didn't say that would be the ONLY thing I would do?"
Frederick shook his head and sat down, staring straight into his history book.
"Great! Now is there any other people who would like to defy my method of teaching?" I looked around the classroom and saw that no one was questioning my way of teaching.
"Well done, correct answer! Now for this lesson topic, can anyone tell me about how Dysan cheated the split of the source of energy?" A single hand went up. "You, the one who put your hand up, do you know?"
"Wasn't he made a deal with someone?" A small girl replied.
"Yes, a spirit, but one not fused with the land afterwards, he was special," I began to write with chalk on the blackboard. "His name was… He and Kirigaya turned Dysan's body back in time when Drundon split the source of energy into what it is today, creating a small space of time which he didn't exist at all. That's when Drundon split the source of energy, making Dysan the only mortal to have it, then and since, I'm surprised that you knew that, what is your name?"
"L-Landa," The girl stuttered.
"Well you did a good job, now then, do we have any more questions?"

Titan of Steel
You know how this goes; a new Dungeon wakes up, starts conjuring their first minions, and ultimately grows into a sprawling complex that adventurers gleefully plunder for treasure and experience points. This particular Dungeon knows how things tend to go too, and wants no part of it whatsoever. Instead, things go massively off the rails as the Dungeon uncovers the secrets of nuclear power, resolves to get themselves mobile by any means necessary, and immediately runs afoul of almost every major power of Terra Magnus. If the newly-minted Titan wishes to survive and thrive the situation they've found themselves in, they're going to need every single advantage they can scrounge up. This story is completed.
8 214Apollyon, The God of Chaos.
The old tales passed down generation by generation speak of a time where Heroes from earth went on to fight the Demon Lord in the Mirror Land but one person is always forgotten. A mystery person who gave the habitants of Earth the weapons capable of destroying cities with the slash of a sword and who gave the Demon's the capability of using destructive magic. With this, the mystery person caused a long cycle of war which is exactly what he wanted. It gave him power, it put everything into a constant state of Chaos and this Chaos is what kept him going. It gave him strength. This person was Apollyon, The God of Chaos. This will be a story of twists and turns as Apollyon tries to return to his former glory.

8 112The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
