Author note: Last chapter…..for this week. Tell me if you find anything wrong. Enjoy
----------------------------------------
Ragoniad: “Joel Explain!!”
Joel: “*choke*Shtop *guhaa* talk *cough* can’t talk *cough*”
I am currently dragon gripped again, choke style. Somebody help me. If there’s something fiercer or more terrifying thing than God’s Wrath, it is the Ragoniad’s Wrath. I didn’t know that she will follow me here. I thought that she has some kind of duty or busy in her clan activities. But it seems she’s here to report something.
Frey and Gale: “Blamed?”, “Guilty?”
Oh, I forgot that she bring her two adorable little sisters along.
Joel: “Please calm down Ragoniad. I only wanted her cooperation for my mission- guha *choke*Shtop *guhaa let *cough* me *cough* talk*cough*”
I tap in her hand, yes her hand, she just one handedly grab me by neck. Damn, dragons are too freaking strong. Tap, tap tap any referees here? HELP ME . Please release me let me go. *choke*
Ragoniad: “Shut up”
Bang
The roof escapes from the tyrant of Ragoniad’s strength. A sound of [Wew] then [Crash] landing sound afterwards, hope no one was hit by the flying roof. Oh well, how can a roof made of wood or a house made of wood withstand the might of a dragon? Even me, a modified human was easily lift by her and just one hand only, though its dragon choke style. I hate dragon grip neck. God help me. Ah I was hopeless, I can only see the beautiful stars when the roof was flying away, then my brain plays a song of ‘Starry starry night’ by Vincent.
Frey and Gale: “Repent?”, “Punishment?”
The Queen and the crazy head priestess just stare at us while trembling, of course they are scared to the highest level because the great me was easily beaten by the great Ragoniad. They already know that she was a dragon. They can’t believe that the dragons before transformed into beautiful, hot, sexy and adorable Ragoniad, Frey and Gale. Almost all people either male or female will make their jaw dropped whenever they saw that transformation. There are two kinds of dragons, one is intelligent and capable living and building a society and the other is just a beast where it just move whenever it instincts told to do so.
Finally I was set free. Breath in and breath out. Hah
Joel: “Ragoniad please listen to me”
Ragoniad: “Shut your mouth and kneel”
Joel: “Yes maam but Rago-”
Ragoniad: “STAY!!”
I only nod, no more talking just keep silent. One thing that I forgot to do and I learn long time ago, whenever that my mother scold me, I just keep quiet, why? It’s because she keep scolding and scolding me for hours. The more you speak, the more you were scold and I admit that I made a mistake at time. But this time, even though I was somewhat careless and somewhat at fault and she has a right to get mad at me.
But something tells me, that something tells me that I will not be down by the tyrant of woman, I am a man I must stand on my own, a man should dominate a woman.
Joel: “Ragonia-”
Ragoniad’s glaring and terrifying eyes activated and targeted on me. Behave mode activated and I revoke my courageous words before, I am regretting to stay silent and the silent mode that I learn from Earth. Ragoniad starts to talk; now we should keep quite while pretending to be listening to her lecture.
Queen: “Ragoniad-sama, please don’t blame Joel-sama, it’s that-”

She fell silent. Oh, a referee, please keep it up.
“It’s that?” [all]
Queen: “that is?”
“that?” [all]
Queen: “The Head Priestess tells me an oracle. And I think you are that man. She said that the man who appears in 2nd Oracle is my destined man so I’m sorry if these things happen to you, Joel-sama. But I didn’t regret it since this is my first time where my heart beats faster, it’s like you are my fated one. And even if you are not that man, I will still become your life partner and I owe you a lot so”
She fell silent again. Maybe she is embarrassed? Well, her embarrass side is too cute and somewhat sexy. Why does women here are too beautiful plus hot plus sexy?
So this is done by none other than, the culprit of my suffering, I mean the cause of my punishment. It’s the fault of this crazy Head Priestess. She is the root cause of all. I move using [Adrenaline Control] and [Air Dash].
The head priestess is just doing a [Whistle Whistle] while slowly walking away. I grab her shoulder while saying “where the hell are you going?”
Head Priestess: “I did nothing, I SWEAR!! I did nothing even this body of mine will become rotten”
Joel: “Speak the truth” and I activate the [Neuro-Control] skill.
Its interrogation time and she starts telling us the truth about oracles and some important things. To sum it up, there is no specific oracle that states that I will become the husband of their Queen. She lied to her Queen that I will become her husband because the Queen is the strongest warrior in the Queendom and the priestess, also her best friend since childhood, was worried that the Queen will unable to find her man and may cause future troubles if the single Queen dies with no legitimate child.
So she does that because she was worried of her best friend and the future of the Queendom. Indeed if the Queen dies, it will cause uproar of who will become the next Queen if she has no legitimate child. Many people will claim and the Queendom is one step closer for its destruction or their extinction.
The most important information that I gather is that the oracle about the existence of high humans. Most of the people now believe that they are extinct after the fall of Tahas, their home country which was invaded by weredemons. Well I know the whereabouts of high humans and their village location, that is my original destination and they are the ones who can greatly helped me in my mission or goal. The oracle about high humans sounds disturbing though.
It states that
’Whoever finds the ancient race
Their cities will become prosperous
Just like in ancient time but beware
That they will also cause great destruction
’
This vague oracle came 5 months ago, the head priestess didn’t know if others receive this kind of oracle since Batia Empire declares war to its neighbors. Indeed this oracle was somewhat clear and vague; it brings prosperity but also brings destruction, that is clear. About the word ‘ancient race’, there are many old races here like dragons, elves, gods? and many more, it didn’t tell that race are the high humans but she believe that its them since they are gone or no one knows where they are.
The ultimate question is whoever finds them, are they surely bring prosperity towards the finder or instead will bring great chaos? Oracles are too vague, it didn’t specify clearly the who, what, how or where, the WH questions. All I can say is, oracles are vague in nature. But either way, I will find high humans to start my plans for my mission.

Joel: “Then since you say your body will become rotten if you lie, right?”
Using [Air Medium] and [Chemical Magic] and of course, some Science, I modify her body to rot. At first, she was expressionless but when she saw her body rots and her skin starts to peel off and produce some awful odor. She starts screaming and apologizing to us and to the God. She thinks that God punish her for her mischievous behavior, then she kneels down and both of her arms on the floor while saying “Please forgive me, I won’t do it again, I will be a good girl, I will be your servant for life, please forgive me” while tears flowing in her cheeks like a river.
Hah, this is a punishment to people, who play others, especially relationships. This punishment of mine is just light but for girls who value more in their body is a great, a very horrible punishment. Fortunately only us in this room, if people see us, they might think something strange about me or fear me. And they might lose their respect to this crazy head priestess. I think this is enough, it might troublesome if she will have a trauma. Hope she learns her lesson now and act according to your age. I cancel my punishment, she is still crying. The Queen came over her side and hugs her, or to console the weeping head priestess who does some pranks.
Ragoniad: “You overdo it”
Frey and Gale: “Big bro is scary you know but cool. That was cool”
Man, these twins, they always sync in speaking and sometimes I think that they have one soul with two bodies. And instead of getting scared, they say its ‘cool’? Maybe they have different taste in things? Or they are just dragons? Is rotting cool?
Queen: “Please forgive her rudeness, I will do anything to compensate for you”
Ragoniad: “Then cancel your blood contract”
Queen: “I will Ragoniad-sama”
Ragoniad: “I mean redo your blood contract for marriage”
[HUH!!!]
“WHAT!!!”
My troublesome life starts now. And how do Ragoniad finds me and starts this drama with love or comedy? Let’s rewind the time.
[REWINDING TIME SFX]
______________________________________________
“A DRAGON!!! Run!!!”
Thousands of Batia Soldiers are running away as soon as they saw the dragon colored in dark red. Many of the soldiers didn’t take shelter in the Queendom since all of the houses are made of wood or they all are just shacks which in common sense flammable to dragon’s attack, so to escape, they run outside in a speed that normal human never use before. Unexpectedly the dragon didn’t attack or use fire breath, it just soaring around in the sky like looking for something. The Queendom residents peek outside as why there’s a dragon soaring around and the soldiers that are running stop their tracks and look above. They think that this is strange since a dragon will attack anyone on the ground; well that’s their ‘common sense’.
Before, whenever they see a dragon in a town or village it didn’t hesitate to burn fire to the people and eat live humans or residents in the process. Their hard scales makes beginner magic and Medieval age weapons unable to penetrate it, with these they are called natural disasters, bringing harm to lowly people. But the people who witness this unusual situation are making questionable look faces.
One of the archers witness something from afar, two large flying creatures but a little smaller in the dragon before them, approaching in their direction.
“Two dragons, THERE!!” he points towards the sky.
All of a sudden the face of the people starts getting paler and paler. This is the first time they saw three dragons in a single day which was unusual as the dragons they know lived individually, not in group. One of the bright mages starts to think and analyze the situation.
“Could it be that these are just illusions?”
“Illusions?”
“I heard that these lowly natives can use illusions to fool there enemies”
One of the generals hears it and a small grin shows in his face. Then he commands.
“If that’s the case, ARCHERS and MAGES!!! Attack that dragon…those natives are just using illusion magic”
When all of the soldiers hear the word ‘illusion’, their confidence before returns and smiling deviously, thinking that the natives can fool them. When they finish their formation, the archers and mages starts their attack, of course, their target is the nearest dragon. They are so confident that they can beat it as it is just an illusion, what a simple minded people. At first they laugh at the dragon and shout some curses but at at the next moment, the illusion that they made up proved them wrong.
[FIRE BREATH]
“hua hua hua…help…my..my…body is burning..AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Shouts and screams can be heard of the poor soldiers who are burned to ashes. They didn’t expect that an illusion can damage them, now they realize that the dragon in front of them is the real deal. The two dragons before joined the fray, it’s like they are playing with the soldiers with fire but when the dragon’s fire touch their bodies, they become ashes, it seems humans are really came from dust and now they return to dust.
“What the hell is HAPPENING?!! IS THIS GOD’S CURSE?”
The man who spoke this line is none other than the former bandit General, he withdraws the battle earlier to save their pitiful lives from God’s Curse,( which was just a lie), even they stomp their own prides just to be alive. But now, it seems it’s too late as he can see that numerous burned corpses scatter everywhere while some just turn into ashes due to high flame temperature. His mind goes somewhere thinking that his Emperor really betrays them, he just use them as a tool and as a cannon fodder. He was angry but his anger cannot help their current predicament.
“RUN!!! Run for your LIVES!!!!!!!!!” is his last order as fire breath turn towards his direction, making him turn into ashes together with his white horse. “GENERAL!!!” “RUN!!” is the last words he hear from his dying comrades. He thought ‘I will return the favor to the Emperor someday’
3 hours later [BIKINI BOTTOM SFX]
The Queen’s army have arrived together with our MC, Joel.
Queen: “What the hell happen?”
Joel: “OH! looks like they do the finishing touches”
As they walk towards the entrance, a strong wind breeze going towards their direction and everybody felt that. Then they heard the sounds of wings flapping, they look up and found the source of it.
“DRAGONS!!! BATTLE FORMATIONS!!”, as the Queen shouted to issue her commands.
Joel: “Clam down people, I MEAN CALM DOWN!! I know them so relax okay?”
Queen: “Are you sure?”
Joel: “Ye-”
The dragon transforms in human form which makes the ignorant onlookers shock or amaze either of the impossible scene or because of her beauty and that beauty grabs me in the neck and raise me up in the air, singlehandedly.
Ragoniad: “EXPLAIN!!Dare to explain that “Life Partner of the Queen”?”
Joel: “How..how did you know about that?”
Ragoniad: “Your title floats above your head” with slightly angry face but still she looks hot.
Oops, I forgot to unequipped the title that I newly acquired. Now I am surely doomed.
_____________________________
BACK TO PRESENT TIME
Queen: “Redo the blood contract for marriage? Are you sure Ragoniad-sama”
Ragoniad: “Of course, but still you will be the 2nd wife and I am the first got it?”
Joel: “Ah, ladies. Can I have my input here-”
Ragoniad: “No and go outside first, we have to talk”
Sigh, following the orders of my beloved, I walk outside. I didn’t dare to eavesdrop in their conversation cause she will know it but I can hear that they are laughing. Just what the hell just happen there? I am really curious but I control and stop myself.
Still, this is the Queendom of Mulier, they didn’t reach the Medieval age yet. They have houses or just some shacks while others are made of wood, you cannot feel the air of Medieval here but instead the feel of stone age or iron age. Maybe they reach iron age because they have metal weapons and develop leather armors. It also inappropriate to call them stone age dwellers as they have improve system in weapon making and they are good in combat. Maybe they are advance in combat related fields?
The people are happily chatting, some are going to sleep while others doing some late night activities. This feeling, I remember this kind of feeling during black outs, which makes a silent environment and I am happily chatting with my family under the light of a single candle. The feeling to be close to nature without the hindrance of modern technology.
But still, even I have [World Knowledge] I have no knowledge in this world’s common sense or common tradition plus various ethnic groups and races which has different customs or norms, even rumors, I have no knowledge about it. My knowledge is like limited only to official facts or actual events like war, or when it was founded or who build it. It is like a history or encyclopedia book which generally states about certain things but it didn’t specifically state or do not state a minute detail. For example, it only state about a fight between two groups but it didn’t state what those people thinks or how each individual deal its enemies in a minute detail.
Maybe my skill only records official facts like general or important ideas and information while unofficial ones are ignored or to be discovered by me? Maybe True God does this so that I can learn things so that I can grow? Maybe that’s the case. If I have all knowledge to a minute or atomic detail, I may not grow anymore or become stagnant for eternity. If True God appears right now, he might say that ‘Knowledge cannot be just learned, you also need to experience it’.
Blood Contract is one of the ancient styles of contract, mostly it is use for friendship or agreement but I never thought that she will do a lifetime partnership contract. You see a blood contract is different from other contracts like written magical contracts because blood contract can make the people involved in contract change some agreement or terms just by drinking the other’s party blood again. In other words it’s a flexible term contract. Blood contract is a unique contract because it reconsiders the trust and free will of the people involved so the other party knows if the party being contracted is trustworthy or not. In my case, I think of her as a friend and partner but she thinks of ‘life partner’ which was an influence of that crazy priestess.
Blood contract also reconsiders the feelings of other party. That’s right, I was mesmerized and fall for her at that time and she may have feelings for me? There’s a big yes in there. Because of that the system behind it or the contract itself assumes that we are aiming for lifetime partnership. Sigh, I should absolutely ready myself both in mind and body and also in spirit and be cautious in taking future contracts.
But still the Queen is so beautiful and easy to love, if that’s the case, how can I love two beautiful women that makes every men mesmerized by their charm. Do I need to make another heart just for her? Man, I am confused. If Ragoniad is okay with her, I will gladly love her. Wait, is there any rules or customs in polygamy? Better asks the locals about it even I have some knowledge in it just to make sure.
----------------
1 hour later [BIKINI BOTTOM SFX]
Ragoniad: “Joel redo your blood contract”
Joel: “Okay this is final right? No more doubts or questions right?”
They all nod. Before we redo our blood contract, the three of discuss thoroughly about our relationship to each other (Me, Ragoniad and Queen Eva) and what to expect in the future and some plans. For now, we will get to know each other first but of course those two beauties are in relationship with me, it’s like preparation for marriage and happy married life. Well I’m glad that we plan ahead cause I hate troubles that might result in broken family which I dislike the most.
During our conversation, I was slightly shock that the people of Queendom of Mulier are Amayans. They have race of human and also subrace of Amayan when I use [Identify] on them, well I can see all their personal info since my skill is at Master’s level.
Amayan are ancient war race composed mostly of women, like Amazons or Valkyries but there’s a twist, they are more caring and loving towards their partners and they have an ability to know their future partner but I tried to look in their skills through my [Identify], I just cannot find any love-related skills. Weird, maybe love is so hard to understand or love is just mysterious in many ways.
Aside from their love myth, they have an AOE ability that can decimate their foes in front of them, but all of the residents here have no AOE Amayan skills, maybe I can teach them to awaken their special abilty? Let’s see how the Batia Empire feels when they face these more ferocious people. Hahaha. I will think about it.
Author note: AOE means Area of Effect, a skill that can harm or affect multiple foes or targets.
Then we started our blood contract, instead of kneeling to each other like we did before. We speak some formal words before we proceed.
“I Joel Strongfort, promises that I will never break your heart”
“I Queen of Mulier, Eva, promise that I will follow and love you for eternity”
Miss Queen, that’s a bit heavy and it seems you really made up your mind and that makes me happy. Of course, I didn’t forget that I also love Ragoniad
Then we bit our lips and kiss and drink the blood from our mouths. Man, this is so ecstatic; this is my second kiss of my life. Yahoo, is I wanted to say but after our blood contract, or kiss, Ragoniad steps before us and kisses me and then she said.
“Every time you get another girl, you will also get another [punishment] from me” then she winks.
Duly noted, ma’am. This girl is so dangerous.
After that, I make an open air bath since there is no bath in this Queendom. I added some walls and some traps and science base magic which are just optical illusions to prevent some peeping tom and peeping jerry. Then all of us entered the bath, of course I am happy because I am the only guy which was surrounded by naked, beautiful, sexy and adorable girls. I have no interest in little ones though. And I will not share what I am seeing right now, to me this is ‘heaven’.
Joel:“Ragoniad Honey, why we redo our blood contract?”
Ragoniad: “it’s because I want to share my love and I also know that she is genuinely in love with you and also the most important part….it’s a secret between us and don’t nose around about it ”
Now I am curious about the secret of those two, why I feel that I am being played and somewhat being left something important. Something’s fishy is here, she’s so suspicious, no those two are so suspicious.
Queen: “Joel-sama I know that you are strong man. And strong man must have a ‘harem’”
Joel: “Is that really the case?”
Ragoniad and Queen and Head Priestess: “YES!”
Is that so? And Queen Eva said that ‘must have a harem’. This world is really different from my previous world. The twins just tilted their heads confused about the ruckus.
Queen: “Can I …I..….touch you?”
Joel: “Of course we are kissing before..come here let’s do ‘touching’”
As I reply her question, she makes a triumphant look and sits beside me. Oh, that feeling is so good and I will not share to you where and what we do, the ‘touching’. Then Ragoniad sits on my lap, oh, that feeling of it is so good~. It seems they are in a competition. I heard there friendly and healthy completion like “Unfair”, “I am the first~” and the likes of it.
Ragoniad: “Why I feel some kind of hard thing underneath”
Joel:”Ah that’s…”
Ooops gonna control the growth of my second son or my junior.
How should I put this? This is so hard and it’s getting harder.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.

To reject whomever I want, whenever I want." Tahlisa's gaze became more intent and she moved close to her rescuer. "Say you had that power, right here, right now. What would you do?" Saelina smiled cruelly. It was a wholly new expression, yet it somehow made her features terrifyingly beautiful, Tahlisa realized.
