《The Journey to Godhood: A Madman's Dream》Ch: 7
Advertisement
Today we had a visit from a friend of the family. It was a black haired woman named Lisa. She came to visit with her little daughter.
The little girl and I were currently in my room playing with toys. Our mothers went somewhere, Elise was suppose to take care of me in the meanwhile.
"Hello, I'm Elise. Do you want to play?"
Maybe she can become my first minion. She was still young about five years old, I could make a deep impact.
"I know what we'll do. We are going to play house. I'm the mother and you are the husband."
Why do girl always want to play house. Well domestic violence is part of roleplaying as well so it shouldn't be too bad.
Elise was pretending to make food. She put the plates on the ground.
"Here my husband I made your favorite onion soup." She fed me with an invisible spoon. I played along and opened my mouth.
I made a stern face looking at Elise with disdain.
Elise became startled.
"What's the matter husband. Don't you like the soup?"
"You dare serve me this shit? You call this onion soup? My piss tastes better than this shit. You didn't even put salt in it. And what's with this broth this isn't chicken or beef, did you use a goblins loincloth?"
"How... You can talk?"
"Humph, just because I'm a crippled you think that I'm retarded? You better not tell anybody. As I see it you have to choices, either you submit to me or I kill you and your whole family."
"You are a bad baby, what can you do..."
Before she could finish her sentence, I was pushing her down with her slender neck in my hand. My killing intend rose and I almost lost myself.
I was chocking her a bit to much and her face turned purple. Realizing what I did I let her go.
She was coughing and looking at me with fear.
"Don't think of running away. No one will believe you anyway. So did you make your choice?"
"Elise will listen, please don't hurt my family." She said while crying.
"Good, when we are alone you will call me master. Now pour me some tea."
"Y-Yes master." Her hands were trembling while she poured some tea, of course the tea wasn't real.
Taking a sip I said.
"From on you will have no childhood. You will dedicate you free time with studying and training, is that clear?"
Unwillingness showed on her face but she nodded anyway.

Elise and I went outside, outside the house there was a garden with followers and shit.
"You will now stand guard, while I'm going to train."
"Yes, master."
I stood up and casted a fire ball.
Elise became dumbfounded and her fear rose.
I changed the form of the fire ball into a fire arrow.
Next I casted a water ball while maintaining the fire ball the water ball orbited the fire ball. Suddenly the fire ball became unstable and exploded. Blasting me away, I received some minor burns. But nothing a bit of heal could fix. After I casted heal Elise asked.
"M-Master are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Disappointment could be seen on her face.
"Elise come here, I want to test something."
Elise hesitated unwilling to come closer.
"If you make me repeat myself you will regret it."
It was time to test the power of the seed of hatred. Right now I was clueless about its uses.
The power of the seed comes from my soul, so I closed my eyes and tried to feel the power. After few breaths I could look inside my soul that was darker then the darkest black. Willing the power outside a black aura leaked outside my hand.
I opened my eyes and saw the leaking power. I willed it to change form, the aura changed into a black smoke.
"What is that thing?"
"I don't know but I'm going to test it on you so stay still."
"Noo." Elise tried to ran away towards the village.
"Humph, you are courting death." I willed the smoke towards Elise.
The smoke coated Elise's body. Muffled cries could be heard until it faded, the smoke cleared and only a small skeleton was left. Shit, I had overdone it. A small soul slowly rose towards the sky.
"Her soul! I can still save her." Willing the dark aura her soul stopped but something was pulling her soul resisting my aura.
"She is mine, screw off." I put more power into the dark aura. The force pulling her stopped.
Her soul was floating in front of me, she looked at me with blank eyes.
"Aiya my dear Elise I'm sorry, your grandfather couldn't control his powers. If you hadn't run, this wouldn't happen."
I opened my mouth and sucked her soul inside me. Inside my soul there was Elise's soul. I didn't know how I did it but my instincts were guiding me, it was pretty useful since the seed of hatred didn't come with a manual.
"My cute little disciple your master has failed you."

I felt pretty bad about this whole situation. If words spread that I treated my minions like this, then no one would follow me on their own accord.
Wasting no time I took Elise's skeleton and ran towards towards the Forrest.
At day time the beast activity was low and I avoided the horned rabbit by jumping from tree to tree.
Arriving at the spot were I buried the beast cores I put Elise's skeleton down.
Digging up my stuff I put the beast cores on the ground.
There were six beast cores with the biggest one from the alpha wolf.
Since I will remake her body I could do some modifications. The new body would have more strength and a bigger mana pool. Also her new body would have much better defenses.
The beast cores and the skeleton floated in the air. Closing my eyes I imagined the body of Elise, I couldn't make a mistake so I was being careful.
The cores and skeleton fused into ball of grey. Then the ball stretched with the body becoming visible. She had the same clothes on when she visited me today. Her black hair and eyes were just like her former self's.
Then I spat out her soul, now came the most crucial part, the fusion of soul and body. Before I fused the soul with the body I had an Idea.
I wanted to leave a seed inside her soul.
Willing the dark aura I condensed it into a small seed smaller then a finger nail. The seed shot towards the soul and fused with it.
The blank looking soul of Elise was in great pain as small black fissures spread inside her soul akin to roots.
The seed nested itself in the middle of her soul, when the roots fully spread a dark aura leaked from the root and seed.
With the seed inside of her soul I had a connection with Elise. I could feel where she was, also I could control her with just my will.
I willed her soul towards her new body, willing it to fuse with the body I stumbled on to a wall. Something was preventing me from fusing her soul.
"Humph, I decide who lives or die. The heavens can just screw off." As if approving my statement the dark aura inside of me got excited, it poured out without my control and went inside Elise's body.
Suddenly Elise's body twitched, she was showing signs of life which made me excited.
"Uhhh, my head." Elise woke up from the dead.
"How are you feeling, is anything missing?" I asked not able to mask my worry.
"Hehehe, master. You did a great job." Elise's demeanor changed she had a mischievous smile on her face.
"All is good then." I sighed.
"Master how could you bully Elise like that, you are so heartless."
"I'm sorry, I didn't meant to kill you."
"Well who cares about that, since I'm your cute little disciple you will spoil me from now on right?"
"This..." I scratched my head. I felt rather guilty so I couldn't bear treating her bad anymore or else I would really be no human.
"You heard that?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Of course and when I was inside your soul I could feel your regret and grief."
Aiya, she heard, this is embarrassing.
"I hope you will tell nobody what happened today."
"Don't worry master. Elise will keep quite. Master I will follow you forever, so treat Elise well okay?"
"You cheeky brat just because I killed you by accident, doesn't mean you can be so demanding."
Elise chuckled.
"Hehehe, stop acting so cute my one armed master of babies.You were so cool when you told the heavens to screw off." Admiration showed on her face and she was blushing.
Oh no dying had a severe side effect, she broke. Her behavior was that of a spoiled and cheeky brat. She didn't even fear me anymore. The seed inside of her must also changed her greatly.
"Take this dagger it will come handy." She took the dagger and played with it.
I put my robe and linen bag back inside the hole.
"We should head back before our mothers come back."
"As you wish master." She took me in her arms and begun running. Her speed was unbelievable it was at least three times faster then the horned rabbit. I created a monster.
Not long after we had arrived inside my room the voice of my mother could be heard.
"We are back."
My mother and Elise's mother came back.
"Did you two had fun?" Elise's mother Anna asked.
"Yes, I had lots of fun. Can we come back again tomorrow."
Clever girl, I think she couldn't wait to carry out my orders.
"Of course Elise, we can come back tomorrow. Right Sophie?"
"Yes, you guys are always welcome here." I saw my mother smile for the first time since the incident. A stab of pain appeared in my heart.

Enigma's Multiverse: Rewrite
This novel was rewritten with the following goals in mind: -A 'human' MC, that struggles underneath the weight of his past emotions and slowly grows as a person as he deals with past trauma and regret. A relatable protagonist whose actions are in line with his motivations, who may be amiable or ruthless depending on the stakes presented. (Caucasian male protagonist, set in the modern world with alien 'induction' into the cultivation world.) - Competent antagonists that have their own goals and ambitions, instead of always targeting the MC for plot convenience. - An original cultivation system. - Interesting and well fleshed out enemy archetypes. - Hell mode challenge right off the bat. - Lots of action and fighting with psychological elements. - My vision of what a cultivation novel should be like. This is the rewrite of the original Enigma's Multiverse, the first version reads more like a skeleton or a first draft as it was my very first work and I've come a long way since then. A lot of things from the original will be tweaked/enhanced, so it might just end up as a completely different work. Cover Credits- Instagram @just_anime_art_things

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
