《Emperor of the Demon race》Chapter 14 - Strange waitress
Advertisement
“Dear customer, how may I help you!” An enthusiastic 20-year-old woman stands before Arkoluth with laughter visible in her eyes, clearly having heard what happened outside.
Arkoluth looks at the girl with confusion in his eyes. “Ah… Yes, yes. I would like to have some of your best dishes!” He blurts out, still looking at the girl confused. She has short brown hair with bright blue eyes and a smooth facial structure, she looks like an upper-class girl that would head one of the noble houses yet she stands here serving in a restaurant. “Are you the waitress here?” He asks.
“Oh? Do I not look like a waiter, dear customer?” A bright smile appears on the girl’s face as she takes out a menu and hands it to Arkoluth “I’m not sure what dear customer is thinking, but I am indeed a waitress here!”
Arkoluth takes the menu with blank eyes “I see… You look like you are someone from the noble houses, so I thought for sure you were joking for a second…”
The waitress smiles as she looks over at the demon in front of her, sizing him up as some country bumpkin with an extremely low status “This must be your first visit to Elohim, dear customer. You are in the long’s family lightning territory, all girls here with my looks are just average compared to the guardian family!”
Arkoluth nods “I see, so I have arrived in the long family’s territory… Thank you for telling me, miss. May I ask what your name is?”
“Puny demon, you shouldn’t try to eat a swan’s meat with your mere status!” A robust voice comes from the back of the restaurant as a barbaric looking man full of scars comes over and stands in front of the waitress “You should know your place and just order food and scram!”

The girl looks at the robust eyes with kind eyes as she looks back at Arkoluth “Dear customer, my name isn’t for one with your status to know. Once you have made the decision for what food you’d like to eat, you may call me!” The girl pulls the robust man’s arm as she drags him off to avoid further conflict
Arkoluth looks at the two [That robust old man feels like he’s slightly below Dhynetyh’s level… Just what is this place? I’ve learned everything there is about humans in my youth and know about the monstrous growth spurt they go through since birth but are even no-names this powerful?] He sighs before opening the menu and scanning through the contents [For now I’ll just eat… Nothing good will come from conversing in this place…]
…………….
In the northern’s middle realm Ror’iron has arrived next to Kegmoz who is deep in thought about the challenge ahead.
[So, he’s gone into silent cultivation to contemplate how to enter? Not bad.] Ror’iron nods his head in approval as he looks at the pieces of broken space. [Truly a devastating event, one cannot imagine how powerful the devas are at this moment… It is truly the only reason humanity doesn’t leave their safe haven in the east where the devas don’t dare come else during the great war humanity would’ve conquered everything with the dragon race.] Ror’iron extends his hand as he manipulates the pieces of space to come towards him and he starts observing it.
[The strength of the goblin deva… known for his terrifying control over the law of darkness and devouring, a cunning deva that has always hidden in the shadows was locked up in a mere middle realm…] Ror’iron takes out a piece from the broken space as he still feels the terrifying powers of law inside, contemplating just what it would take to control the universe to this degree.

[The devas of the north, south, west, and middle parts…. And the east without the devas but their terrifying stronghold that could kill the devas if they were to attack it… During our ventures with his highness’s army we never stepped out of bounds and only unified the west under our control to not cause the devas to unleash their wrath on us but the humans in the east have never even taken the steps to control the east… All they control is their stronghold and a few minor planets, not daring to expand for some reason… And the humans in the realms below the exalted realm are all pitifully weak? Just what happened during the great war… They are currently the most terrifying beings in the entire universe but act like cowards hiding in their turtle shell…] Ror’iron falls into deep thought as he forgets what’s happening around him.
Kegmoz suddenly seems enlightened and stands up shooting his eyes wide open as he notices Ror’iron next to him “Ah, I’m sorry Ror’iron, I didn’t know you had already returned…” He sees the thoughtful look on Ror’iron’s face as no response comes from the demon.
[I’ve finally found a way in but Ror’iron is still contemplating about something? Did I miss something? He’s holding a piece of the broken space in his hands as well and is observing some of the laws… maybe the poison is worse than I had assumed?] Worry appears on Kegmoz’s face as he just found a way to surround his body in the aura of his blood to awaken the Thar’aron’s special power to avoid the poison to reach at least the outer areas of the pieces of broken space.
Ror’iron notices something around him has changed as he comes back to reality and he looks to Kegmoz who has slightly started panicking next to him. “Have you finished the plan to enter?”
Kegmoz looks up at Ror’iron who seems to have completely turned back to normal “Ah, yes. But you were in such deep thought I might have completely come to the wrong conclusion to enter…”
Ror’iron frowns as he sends the piece of space back “What conclusion did you come to?”
“That is… I could awaken the special power of Thar’aron to unleash the law of conquest and suppress the other laws to enter since it’s been a very long time since this battle took place and although the laws are still here they are greatly weakened whilst the law of conquest would come directly out of my blood…”
“Mm, a good conclusion. There isn’t a problem with it, you can use it to enter, I’ll be going with you using my own method so don’t worry too much. If it becomes too much for you, we’ll simply go back, and you can cultivate on what you’ve learned.” Ror’iron nods as he approves of Kegmoz’s idea, although it won’t get him in very deep, it will get him to feel the true power of the laws that lay dormant inside, so he can get used to his surroundings.
Kegmoz’s eyes light up as he considers this praise from Ror’iron, finding a way inside this is far beyond what event he strongest being in this middle realm could even come close to. “Great! Great! Let’s try it right away, I wish to truly feel the might of the two northern devas!”

Chosen of Silver
In the lands of Neden, children with gates--birthmarks able to accept and hold the power of soulstones--are collected every five years, when they reach age fifteen to nineteen. It is nearly time for the newest cohort to be celebrated and then conscripted, and with that day looming, those whose lives are about to change wait impatiently for their destiny to arrive...or try to find a way to avoid it: Cal, a refugee from the nation of Caas, doesn’t want to go to Kellingherth to gain the powers of man, beast, or element, and he certainly doesn’t want to join the war efforts after that. The only things he’s dying for are a good drink, dance, and girl, in no particular order. His best friend Raff prefers his sweat to come from a hard day's training than an evening carousing and wishes Cal did, too. He wants to accomplish more with his life than becoming a simple palace sentry like his estranged father and will do whatever it takes to get there. And they are just two of many. When the tenuous peace of the realm is threatened by the arrival of an old enemy, these young chosen will likely be swept up in events rather than prevent them, but the future cannot be rushed or escaped, only experienced.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
