《Is Heaven Supposed to Be Like This?!》19. Even Acil Can be Cruel.....?!
Advertisement
It's in a readable state, but i didn't proofread it much.
going to do so tomorrow. i'm throwing the white towel and head to bed!!!
“Finally......we’re finally here......!”
Finally!
After all that’s happened, this scene right now brings tears to my eyes.
What stood before me was the gate of a mansion, or rather.....the demon lord’s castle.
It had everything you’d expect from a demon lord’s castle.
There’s the tower for the far fetched kidnapped Princess and the main building looks five times more secure than London’s Tower.
Basically, a secure fortress that happens to be painted black.
Oh yeah, we also found a cure for the guys after us.
Honestly....i never thought we’d bound this much!
They’re practically my harem now~
I’ve also took the opportunity to get to know Cheryl more.
“Hey~ Guess who’s this~?”
Ahh~
And as the sweet voice whispered, my vision went dark.
This voice....it got to be Cheryl!
I quickly turn my neck toward the person who just made my day while their hand went directly through me; and seeing her figure made me smile naturally while sending pleasant shivers throughout the rest of my body.
“I’ll know you anywhere, Cheryl~”
But before long, reason kicked in and the smile turned into a frown, and the pleasant shivers i was having turned into a cold, chill shiver that ran through my back.
Cheryl smiled as if nothing was wrong, and titled her head rather cutely as she urged me to say what’s wrong.
Uhmm...
I’m just wondering.....
Why do you have a spider lower body....?
Even if she continued to title her head even deeper with my silence, i can see in plain sight that her eight legs are twitching in different directions....seemingly from excitement....?
“Ehh~!?”
How can this be?!
Shit!
Did i fall in love with this spider girl?!
Since when!?
Damn!! i can’t remember shit!!!
Then again, this is a bit anticlimactic.
These types of situations, where you lose your memory and then regain them at a later time, is only supposed to happen when you see a super beautiful girl who happens to be the exact type of the main character!
And it usually takes a longer time as well!
Are you saying this spider girl is my type?!
To begin with, this only happens is novels...right?
If i ever saw an author who made a scene like this, then i’ll cut his fingers out just like the Yakuza would!
“Hmm....?”
M-my body....!
It’s back to that of a human’s before i even noticed it!
Even though it was a ghost’s one a few minutes ago...
Damn.
‘Cheryl’ seems to be getting impatient.
S-she’s showing me her back.
A-And now......?!
She’s raising her....butt.
“E-ehh~?! i-i’m sorry! b-but i can never do it with a spider!!!”
And as if angered by my response, a sticky, familiar White string flies everywhere.
Rather than calling it a string, its a full web.
Even though normally, a spider would only release a string.
.....Well, this is based on my limited knowledge.
“W-woah! What am i daydreaming for?!”
And as i was trying to move, my body felt like it no longer belonged to me.

And as the webs tried to bind me, a sharp pain ran through me and the whole world cracked open.
“AHHHHHH-”
And....i fell down toward the darkness.
“-HHHHHHHH!”
I jumped right out of my makeshift bed, which is just a broken down bench that i stubbornly call a bed, and shot up straight toward the ground.
“Aww!......That didn’t actually hurt...”
Well then...
After standing up, and taking a good look at the bench, i see that its covered with huge Spider webs.
And if you look a bit further, you’ll see the spider girl doing her business, and that is attacking me.
“Really.....what triggered this Change? did i curse you while i was alive....? i mean, i did kinda forgot how many spiders i killed in both Of my lifetimes....” [A/N: Remember kids, something called Karma exists.]
That being said, i really should do something about these people.
Or....i could go now and beat the crap out of that guy.
Ahh~ its that harpy’s fault for me being so tired!
She ate me.....
......SHE ATE ME!!!
Is this how a soldier feels after the adrenaline rush!?
Daaaaaamn!
“Hey Than!”
I quickly covered my mouth as soon as i said that.
That was careless of me.
I don’t want Him to know i’m here....
That trap bastard is the last person I want to tag along.
Although, having him return my weapons would be great.
“Mast--”
“Shh!”
“M-master...?”
“Be quiet for a while....!”
“As you wish, Master. This one shall bight this one’s tongue and shall be silenced forever.”
“W-woah! t-that’s too far!”
With a disappointed look, Than nodded.
I have said this many times, but ever since i came here, the abnormal people seemed to be flocking around me.
I mean, The old guy of the bar and Drake were normal......actually, remembering that guy is creating a bump in my already ruined mood, so lets just head out.
Even though i’m normal...
But strange enough....he didn’t appear yet.
Even though that spider girl is making enough noise to attract the others.
As i started to think it was weird enough, something even weirder happened.
All the guys who were trying to attack me or were attacking me froze in their place facing the same direction.
I traced my eyes alongside theirs, and laid them upon what seemed like an old man with withered blond hair.
He had beautiful Blue eyes.
Yes, ‘Had’.
They’re as dead as his bottom half, probably.
Basically, he’s an old man who’s practically dead with all the wrinkles and stuff.
Really, i’m starting to pity him.
How he can’t really enjoy this heaven.
Ahh~ i’m starting to feel like he’s my comrade!
Also, he’s naked.
And.....i can proudly say that mine is bigger.
Gramps, you lost to me!
I told you guys i was huge.
As the Gramps tottered around, he fell on my shoulders.
Or should i say, my nonexistence shoulders.
“Watch o--!”
Before i could even finish, all the girls except for Than throw themselves at the location where he should have landed.

“Ehh~ so these zombies actually have a conscience?”
“I Fear not, Master. For he is the God we were looking for.”
“......”
This old man?
Those guys, who threw themselves to the ground in order to cushion Gramps--The God of Ranks, began to lift him up and seat him on my makeshift bed.
....Even though its my bed.....
The old man, who still had dead eyes, tapped on the bed, signaling me to come and take a seat next to him.
I Planned on doing that either way! it’s my bed!!
After taking a seat, All his ‘servants’ knelt on the spot, which made me jealous.
after coughing once to clear his throat, the God began to tell his tale.
“I.....once was a very happy......man.”
You bet?
I wanna hit this guy already.
But he looks like he’ll crumble down with the slightest gust of wind...
Heck, look at all these girls!
“But then.....something happened. I met the most beautiful being in all Heaven and Hell....yet, she refused to come over to my side.”
Fuck you.
i hate you, you little fucker.
I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU
WHO ARE SO SPOILED THAT THEY THINK A FEW WORDS CAN GET YOU ANYTHING!!!
“So then....i somehow got her isolated. my plan was to offer her to join me for protection and regaining her status.....but, it seemed like she ignored me while picking a man from the streets....The anger i felt that day....!”
The Gramp’s dead eyes lit up with a flare, that of wrath.
“So then, what do you think i did next? I sent her a threat. Join me or die. I sent the most powerful being, The Goddess of Death! The one who rules over hell!! That which administrates those who come and leave the after world....!!! And yet, that man tamed her as well. And of course, with the Goddess of Death, Thanatus in his hands, i became frightened. I ran to hell, even if it meant worsening my position in Heaven. even if it means
ruining the balance of Heaven, creating chaos in the afterlife itself!! That’s how much i feared that man.”
The flare and light in Gramp’s eyes soon faltered, and faded away ever so slowly.
“But then.....i saw an opportunity!”
The man exclaimed, his eyes that regained another type of Light seemed to dance around as he looked deeply at the figures of those kneeling toward him.
“I found her in my own backyard! can you imagine that?! How ca luck be this good?! and for that, i made a deal with her.”
Gramp’s continued, and as he did, his complexion began to look better and better, until he go to the spitting image of the guy i imagined the God of Ranks to be, being called handsome would do him no fair, because he’s a person who holds a beauty that can rival Acil’s.
After the God of Ranks finished his explanation of his part of the story, i stormed right through him and toward his place.
Since it seemed....like Acil went a little bit overboard on this one, if i say so myself.
Honestly, if the guy didn’t suffer as much as he said he did, i would’ve killed him right this instant.
Though by no means do i like him.
If even a single word he says was wrong, then i’ll kill him right away.
As i walked, there was supposed to be a castle dyed in black, which would be stationed in the middle of what could only be called a fort.
but what met my eyes was none of that, but simply a small, humble house that was in the middle of what seems like a lake.
I stored right through the door, where a chair is facing it.
the chair begins to turn slowly.
And when it was positioned straight toward me, i couldn’t help but not sigh.
Trap there, began to talk, while unknowing that it was me, and no the God of Ranks.
“Oh, Welcome. i have been expecting you! i hope you don’t dislike the changes we’ve done to this pla--what, its just you, Alex.”
“Go screw yourself.”
That being said, i quickly ran toward the back of the house, while frantically looking through every room possible.
After checking most of the rooms, i came upon the one i was searching for, and that was the one where Acil was at.
It seems that she was fuddling with an invisible keyboard, perhaps still remodeling this place.
When she noticed my gaze, she raised an eyebrow and then revealed a faint smile.
“I’ve taking our revenge!”
She said while doing a thumbs up toward me.
“You....did anyone every tell you that you had a horrible personality?”
“Ehh? What do you mean....even if i do, its nothing compared to yours...”
“Really? lets see......first of all, i do not bet on my retainer’s life in a stupid bet like ‘If he can capture all of your retainers (Harem), then its my win’”
“Ehh~ but didn’t you enjoy it? i always knew you would win!”
“Second of all, didn’t you actually remodel his fort and castle to that of a place that could hardly be called a humble house?!”
“But he can restore it all later~!!!”
“And lastly. even after winning, you squeezed everything you could from the poor guy until he looked like a man in his 90s! what did he ever do to you?!”
As i said that, she blushed, which looked really cute, but i couldn’t understand why.
I mean, didn’t he isolate her, and tried to kill her?
It can’t be....did she awaken to the same stuff Than did.........?!
“I haven’t!”
“Oops, did my thoughts leak again......?”
“Lets just head home.”
“What!? but i’m going to stay here though.”
“No you aren’t! you’re still my slave.”
“But i can still get that guy to raise me up to F!”
“Well, he won’t. your only way is to pay up your debt!!”
“B-but this is heaven~! can’t we stay here~?”
“No! we’re returning home this instant!”
“T-then what about the God of Ranks!”
“If you mean Hesti, Then guess what, he’s already left for heaven to receive his punishment after leaving a couple of angels here for management!”
“Ehh~!!”

8 279Asturian Warbringer - A LitRPG on Earth
Currently releasing 5 chapters a week Luke Kells liked only one thing about himself: his green eyes. He hated getting bullied, hated being poor, hated being an orphan, hated his weakness, hated the government, hated his life. If someone had given him a button to push and kill everyone but him and his granddad, he would've done it without a second thought. Then, one day, after fainting during a beating, he woke up with memories that would change his life. Magic, martial arts, how to craft special artifacts; he knew it all. Anyone would’ve taken that path to glory at once. However, he had to deal with a lot on his plate first. To even begin walking that path, Luke first had to deal with his own psychological issues. Almost two years of brutal bullying that was akin to torture and no support from the school staff of the police had left him with a broken soul. Before even realizing he could be rich or powerful, he had to bring himself out of the mental hellhole he found himself in. Oh, and his memories also told him the Sentinel Tower would change reality in six months to protect the planet from the Demonic Horde. But that wasn’t as important as not making the local bully angry, right? A story about personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and reaching absolute glory at the end of the path. This is a slow-paced, character-centered story. If you want something faster paced, filled with almost immediate and nonstopping action, check out my other novel: Modern Awakening - A cultivation, LitRPG, apocalyptic novel.

8 187B's Grand Adventure
It has been two hundred years since the first contact with aliens from the planet Proxima Centauri. It has been about one hundred and ninety-eight since the Centurians and humans accidentally connected their computer systems together. That same year Centurian virus took over almost all of humanity's computers. This was right about the time a huge solar flare knocked out all communication on Earth. Some time between then and now secrets were revealed, like secret societies, where the nukes were being hidden, and, most importantly, that there were Fae, magic beings, living among humanity all this time. The Proxima Centurians eventually came to the now weakened Earth to 'check on' humanity about fifty years ago. Some say they are here to colonize what's left of the city-states and raiders alike. But now we focus on a young man who has earned the ire of a Centurian colony and a powerful half-Fae named Jormungrand. This young man has chosen the name for himself as B. Lovely cover art by the lovelier @azribee.arts on Instagram.
