Year 43 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Lynn house
(Linjian POV)
I came back a week too late.
When the Antonov reached the Holy Land of Xue, people dressed in mourning were all what welcomed us.
Hom explained me what happened, an immortal came and I wasn't here to protect the people I cared about.
Qianshan, Qianxun, Tang and...
“Grandmaaa! *sob*“ Mai
Yue is also waiting for her death in her bed.
“Don't cry Mai, this isn't a tragedy. I am ready to leave this body and go back to the world“ Yue
Her voice is weak.
“Uugg“ Mai
A lot of people came to say goodbye to the second Kin... no, to their friend. But now only five people are left in this room.
“*sob*“ Hikari
“...“ Benjamin
Both of her children had their eyes red from crying.
(Why? Why is she dying?)
[...Her time has come]
(...)
[Even if the system can extend the lifespan of humans, it is not absolute. She already was over the life expectancy of the world she was born into]
(Was the shock of losing Tang too much for her?)
[...I would dare to say so]
Again, I...
(Yue POV)
“Master, you came back“ Yue
His green eye was fighting to don't release tears.
“Yue, I...“ Linjian
“Don't be sorry“ Yue
I could already tell what he was going to say.
“This is fine“ Yue
“But...“ Linjian
“I swam in rivers, climbed mountains, ran in meadows and smelled wild flowers in forests“ Yue
It was fun.
“I saved people from spiritual creatures, protected the walls as commander, and led the people as King“ Yue
It was fulfilling.
“I made friends, I give birth to a girl and a boy and I lived my life together with my love“ Yue

Tang...
“I was...“ Yue
I can feel my soul leaving my body.
“Free...“ Yue
My eyelids close by themselves.
“Yue!!“ Linjian
“Mom!!!“ Hikari
“Mom!“ Benjamin
“Grandma...“ Mai
Watch out Tang... I'll fall on you again...

Year 43 of the Human Calendar - East of the Holy Land of Xue - Coast
(Linjian POV)
I'm under the moonlight, staring at the waves.
[...]
(...)
Two weeks already passed, but I still cant accept it.
Tang... Yue...
[...]
(...)
[I did not regret my death]
(?)
[On my last day of life, I was taking care of a patient as any other day]
(...)
[When an angry drunkard with a knife entered the room where we were]
(...)
[I barely managed to stop him from slicing the patient until the security came]
(Did he stab you instead?)
[...Yes, The last thing I remember is losing consciousness after that incident]
(...)
[But I don't regret anything, immortality is just the dream of an immature child that is unable to cope with the concept of the end]
[Even with the end in front of us, we always have something more important than death or life. You know that better than anyone]
I caress the pendant on top of my armor.
[Promises, professions, love, art, and an infinity of thing that I ignore. We human have something way more important than just standing on a giant rock in space]
More... important...
“Grandpa“ ???
I turn to face the daughter of Yue.
“Hikari...“ Linjian
The sadness is still on her face.
“Their deaths were not your responsibility“ Hikari
“...“ Linjian
(...Are my thoughts that obvious?)
[You are a simple man]
“Both of them were always grateful to you, equal to everyone in this kingdom“ Hikari

“To the first generation of this world, You were a father figure to everyone who didn't have one“
She forces a smile and walks towards me.
“Mom, dad and a lot of other people saw you like that. You never disappointed anyone“
[You may be a father figure, but that doesn't mean they were useless children incapable of taking on their own responsibilities]
“Mom died with a smile on her face and dad surely also was satisfied when he protected us“
I...
Interrupting my thoughts, she hugs me.
“Stand up once again, Anointed King. This fight isn't over yet“
...
I also hug her.
“That is right, there is no time for melancholy“ Linjian
[Now that is the spirit]
“Thanks, Hikari. Now I am ready to move on“ Linjian
With the little time left in this body, there is something I must do.
“I will put an end to the old world once and for all“ Linjian
I look east beyond the waves, towards the center of this world.

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

So 3 chapters per week unless its a multi-part chapter II) multi-part chapters come usually within 48 hours for continuity (and because they are written as one chapter for the novel's original form), without being limited from the above schedule. Cover artwork by @IntheBlackveil Maps of the Old Realms are available here Greater Map of the Realms this is a very large image (thrice reduced in size from original, but still it might not load immediately) The Old Realms - Chapter specific maps The Old Realms All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure. The Old Realms saga is only published on RR for free. It is in the author's plans to publish it on Amazon and other platforms at some point. If you see it offered anywhere else, or someone tries to charge you for it, please report him. It is illegal to sell, or take advantage of intellectual work without the author's permission.
