《NO STRINGS ATTACHED》CH. 58
Advertisement
Shen decided to leave Lera and Verena arguing while he went towards the twenty fallen men. Atem went with him skipping like a little boy.
Atem: What should we do~ Oh, what should we do~ With you~
???: The Gods won't forgive you for this! Heretics! You shall burn for eternity after you die!
???: The Order will hunt you down till only ashes are left of you!
???: Death to heretics!
Atem: So, what do you plan to do with them~?
Shen looked around and saw an anthill not far. He walked to it. There weren't many ants in there...But since there was one, there would be more around. He turned to Atem and told him:
Shen: You can get them to come over here, right?
Atem: But of course!
Shen: Do it then. I will round them up first.
Atem: Yes~!
Shen walked back to the twenty men and created fireballs. He threw them at the men until they were naked. And slightly burnt but not dangerously. Just painfully. Then, he began to move them creating a corpse mountain with each man with another man's thing in his mouth. It was two birds with stone as it prevented them from speaking (at least a bit) and was both embarrassing and disgusting to them too. Dying with their comrades dick in their mouths wasn't a pleasant death option.
This was far from enough as Shen called up to Tempest this time.
Shen: Take out some of the sugared booze.
Tempest: ...Do you really want to waste it here?
Shen held out his hand without another word and Tempest reluctantly gave him what he wanted. An entire baril of booze that had been made with extra sugar. Shen began to drop the liquid on the bodies of the men. They were still very much conscious of what was happening.

Once this was done, he turned to Atem who was humming in happiness. Behind him were thousands and thousands of ants. Some more were probably hard at work creating new homes for their colonies. If you can control the minds of men, you could no doubt control those of ants and it proved useful in such weird situations...
Shen: Alright, Atem, you can do it now.
Atem: With pleasure~
The order was sent to the minds of the hives and soon the bodies were covered by ants. They weren't going to die painlessly. The trio kept on watching the poor men being devoured alive by thousands of ants.
Meanwhile the girls were arguing.
Verena: Lera! Why didn't you tell me you were going to revive the Great God!
Lera: How was I supposed to know that was Shen?! Why didn't you tell me?!
Verena: Everyone knows who the Great God is! He is the Great God after all!
Lera: I did not!
Verena: You were there when he was! Before he left!
Lera: Yes I was but I don't remember him being a Great God!
Verena: He was our vampire tribe's Great God!
Lera: Then why did you not react when I told you!
Verena: You didn't tell me you were bringing the Great God back!
Lera: I said I was bringing Shen back!
Verena: I did not know the Great God's name!
Lera: How could you not know the name of your God?!
Verena: The Great God is the Great God! Mom never told me more!
Lera: It ain't my fault then!
Verena: It is! You knew he was our revered one! You had to! Mom told me you followed him everywhere!
Lera: He never considered himself your God!
Adeline: W-well, p-please, both of you...
Verena & Lera: You shut up!

Cynthia: ...What's this about Great God anyways? And what do you mean vampire?!
They all turned towards Cynthia. That's when Lera remembered that both girls weren't aware of all the story. Cynthia had her memory of it wiped clean. Right, she was not on the side of the three demon emperors...
Lera: *cough* It's nothing. Why don't you go check on the men, Cynthia, while we settle this?
Cynthia: Uh? Well, it beats listening to your screams...
Cynthia went to the men's group only to find them grinning at the sight of twenty men being devoured alive by ants. Many ants. It was disgusting to say the least and she wasn't ready for this kind of sight. She fell down on her knees and began to vomit violently.
Atem turned around at the noise and as he saw her, he hurried to create a barrier around Shen, Tempest and the dying ones. Then, he rushed to her side and held her hair out of her face while he pat her and nursed her.
'Atem: What a blunder! I let her saw an unsightly sight!'
Atem: Cynthia, are you alright?
Cynthia: What the fuck was that, Atem?! They..- They- They were being devoured by ants! For fuck's sake! Ants!
Atem: Ok. Take a deep breath-
Cynthia: I'm not taking any deep breath! What the fuck was that Atem?!
Atem: ...Shen's idea.
Cynthia: For fuck's sake! What's wrong with you all?! How could you do this to people?!
Atem: Let's take a step back, ok? How many people have they killed? How did they kill them? Painlessly? I doubt it. They didn't seem to be that kind of gentlemen.
Cynthia: And because they are devils, you have to be one too?!
That was such an unexpected reply that Atem froze for a moment. She wasn't wrong. Just because some people did bad things didn't mean that you had to do bad things to them in return. The moral thing to do would have been to simply kill them. There was no need to force them to suffer... He could have taken the grown man's approach but ended up doing something childish.
An eye for an eye was not the way to do things if you were trying to be a good man. He wasn't. But he wanted her to see him as one. To like him as one. Since there was no way she would love the real him... So, he answered her:
Atem: You are right. I am sorry. I drowned in my hate and failed to see the right thing to do...
Cynthia: ... Stop it now!
Atem: ..Yes..
He touched her forehead and she passed out. Then, he gently took out some cushions and laid her down. Finally, he went back inside the barrier to enjoy round 2 of the show.

Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.
