《Saer Servitude》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Conversation with him wasn’t as valuable as meeting Tadeas so they set off on the way which they had been told to go on.
And it did not disappoint.
After taking left from the tree, they discovered a yellow house at the end of a long alley.
"Why is his house in the corner?" Saer looked around just to see walls.
"Looks like he hates visitors." Fierlo mumbled.
Saer knocked on the door after reaching at the doorstep.
Door was open.
"Come." Saer waved at Fierlo.
Inside, they saw a crystal ball glowing.
A man was behind it.
"Who are you?" Tadeas killed crystal's luminosity after spotting them.
"Oh, dear!" Saer whispered when he noticed Tadeas was none other person than he had met in the brothel.
The only difference was that he was wearing clothes now.
"You two?" Tadeas gazed at them in wrath.
A female scream came from behind. The woman swung hammer at them.
Somehow they ducked it. But the second blow was more ruthless. It missed Fierlo by an inch.
Fierlo caught the heavy crystal ball and threw it at her head.
The glass hit her head hard. It caused the sound very similar to the broken skull. No matter how serious the injury was, it had done its job.
She dropped her hammer and fell on the floor.
Then the crystal ball fell at last. Saer saw some cracks on it as it rolled towards his feet.
"You shits." Tadeas came out from his table, "You maggots kill my mistresses, injure my wife and cracked the crystal. How dare you?"
"None of them would have happened if we knew who you were." Saer put his sword down, "We apologize from bottom of our –"
"Fuck off."

"Hames, your son, sent us here." Fierlo interrupted.
"Hames' friends, huh?" Tadeas made a face. He then lifted the cracked ball, "Now I realize how much of a bad company he is in."
The woman groaned in pain.
"Hold on, wifey. It is just a bruise." Tadeas said after putting the crystal back to its place.
He helped his wife sit in his chair. To make some corrections in the pile of mistakes he was responsible form, Fierlo rushed to hold her.
"Are you okay, mam?" Fierlo asked but the dizzy feeling woman had no answer for him.
"Ser, we are here to know where Notrze Calajhan is. Maybe you can help us." Saer said while Tadeas was dressing her wound.
The husband also had nothing to say.
"You know the stakes well, don’t you?" Saer added.
"You don’t need to tell me what the stakes are. The thing is, I would never help anyone associated with Hames."
"We are sorry. We didn’t mean to do it."
"No wonder why Nortze hates cut-throats. You maggots are like glue. Inseparable. Even if you had not caused this shit, I would not have helped you. People like you are disgrace to society."
"We are here for the society. I hoped you would understand."
"Apocalypse, isn’t it? We call it Great Invasion here. I understand everything, but I don’t want to lift a finger against it."
"Finding Calajhans would also save your son."
Mrs. Tadeas gasped after hearing him.
Same expression was noticeable in Tadeas' face, but it didn’t last long.
"What kind of son robs family wealth and lets his parents starve on the street?" Tadeas' voice trembled.
"Great Invasion would be worse."
"I am sixty. My wife is one shy of fifty. We don’t have many years to look further for. I don’t care what heavy or frightening words you have in your arsenal."

"I have a light word. Kindness. Be kind to others and let them have more years to look further for."
"Kindness?" Tadeas laughed, "When I begged in street, nobody even bothered to give me a bronze coin. Nobody thought of me and my suffering. I had to live on money my wife made by prostitution till I learned this sorcery." Tears began to appear in corner of his eyes as he resumed, "You two go and tell Hames to imagine his mother sharing bed with other man than me."
"It is your personal problem. You must help us." Fierlo raised his voice.
"Never!" Tadeas was louder, "No way, whore slayers. Now get out of my sight before I call soldiers here."
Saer picked his sword, with a firm grip of fingers on rusting hilt.
Tadeas lost his breath for a second.
He lifted it high over his head, then hoisted the great sword on his back and turned towards the door.
Fierlo also followed in his footsteps.
Mrs. Tadeas locked the door tight when they were gone.

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent
8 521No Strings Attached [Rewritten]
Warning Just so you know, you better be paying attention to the chapter title or else it's going to be like travelling across multiverses. Explanation Due to a single comment made by a wonderful person, or some douchebag in real life, I have decided to create two seperate stories. A rewritten version, and the original version. The rewritten version will somewhat follow the original storyline of the original version, but will have extra content, extra side stories of course rewritten personalities. The original one will be like a rough draft of where I want the story to go. Like for instance, the original story is like the first Link from 'Legend of Zelda', choppy but fun to read. The rewritten story is the Link from any game during and after Windwaker, smooth and somewhat follows the main premise. Overall both are going to be probably terribly done but hey, I'm creating a furture and past story so what should you expect. - Styx Whatever just put up the revised description. - Ariel Edited Summary Jay W. Blu, a dashing and charming rich boy who's been spoiled his whole life. He is very cocky, has a case of egomania and isn't exactly what you call a 'Relatable Main character', unless you somehow fit one of these descriptions and then relate all you want. He had everything you would probably want if you weren't pessimistic, realistic, or chronically depressed. But as most reincarnation/summoning stories go, he get's himself killed at whatever age he was and is sent to another world. Normally, he would be summoned as something you would call a hero, but since that's to cliche by my standards he is something else. Instead of being the hero of the people that he was told about by a friend, he instead summoned as the anti-hero aka, 'The Hero of Demons'. Now he must traverse the lands slaying opposing heroes as he tries to keep his mind straight, although it's to late. There will be weird people along the journey like a fangirling war general, a hive mind and a manly magical girl? Oh well, Jay is too pure to see love anyways.
