《Metalbound》Chapter 3- Allies
Advertisement
We talked for a while and got to know each other better. Amara was actually a princess from a lost kingdom. The Daemon had assembled an army and wiped out almost all of it's inhabitants and then captured her. The shackles were somehow blocking her power so she was greatly weakened.
The triplets were rare, since imps hardly ever had twins. They were hoping to get an evolution where their bodies fused togther so they constantly had their mind bridge. Somehow the shackles could not block the power from their connection but it blocked all other power.
Lastly was Bella. She barely talked, and I finally understood why. She was from the same kingdom as Amara, but she was the daughter of a peasant maid. Apparently the Daemon had had some "fun" in the kingdom. When the army sieged the kingdom, the Daemon killed Bella's mother right in front of her. He said that "weaklings would all die" and then invited Bella into his army.
Obviously, she resisted and fought back. Then he captured her and forced her to watch the destruction of the kingdom that she called home.
"Now, she gets to be used as a power source for her father to jump dimensions" explained Amara.
"What do you mean, a power source? I heard some of the imps saying that they would be used to power the rift" I asked.
"There is a rumor circulating that the Daemon will use a mass sacrifice blood ritual to temporarily supercharge the rift and allow his army through. That amount of power would have to be massive, and I think that he plans on sacrificing this whole caravan" said Amara.
"What?" I gasped "Surely the imps won't allow him to simply kill them".
"Like I said, it is just a rumor. However, there are some rebellious imps in this caravan. I suspect they are the ones who put you here. They are the ones with the red tatoo on their shoulder" explained Amara.

"Surely he isn't stupid. If he sees those tatoos, he will know they are plotting" I said.
"They tell him that it is a sign of strength. They say that it is earned by defeating a beast with a higher level than you" said Amara.
"How do you know all of this?" I asked Amara.
She displayed her ample chest and pointed at her face.
"I have my ways" she said with a grin.
"How many rebellious imps are there?" I needed to know how many were on our side.
"About half of the imps will fight against him, but he has 4 higher-ups on his side. They are his generals when he is away pillaging. They are at least 10 levels higher than the regular imps and have decent fighting experience" said Amara with a worried expression.
"We do have a suprise for them. He is on the other side of this wall, and he is heavily restrained. He is a very powerful "project" of the scientist. He is a little... wierd though" said Amara.
"Well then, lets get out of these shackes and start a Revolution!"I said with some force behind my words.
Amara snickered. "Melodramatic much?"

I Need Time
An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead. Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week. I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER***** Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods... Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye... Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER*****
