《Pact with a soul of hell.》Sign here!

Xavier knocked on the door. Shortly after, a weak male voice allowed him to enter.
Xavier walks into the office.
He looks to the left and right.
On a chair behind a desk, a young man reads a book.
With Xavier's entry, he stops reading.
- My lord, I wanted to look for your Highness.
[I see, reading the book] Xavier hid his disgust with a smile
Frederic tone was normal. If you're a regular person, you can't notice anything.
However, Xavier was a soul of hell.
He could see through Frederic's emotions. He was nervous. Although the surface looked calm, he was nervous.
-The brilliant minds think the same.
-I'm not worthy of my Lord's words.
[Of course, you're not worthy.]
-Frederic, my good friend. I hope this incident did not go outside the library.
Frederic was surprised.
It was the first time Xavier called him a friend.
Xavier sees Frederic becoming even more nervous.
Though he did not know what the young master was thinking, he answered the question with a weird smile on his face.
-Of course, that didn't happen.
Frederic was getting nervous.
Something is odd, it was much harder to read Xavier emotions. Even if he is a special talent, he can not figure out what Xavier thinks. It was like a completely different person.
Every single word, even the banalest, made you deny your existence.
Even if he is a special talent, he can not figure out what Xavier thinks. It was like a completely different person.
It was normal not to feel the emotions of Xavier.
It was easy for him to hide his emotions even without the energy of hell, he could do that in his old life.
In this world to read the other emotions has to release energy in the body of the target.

Xavier can do this only by seeing the person.
Frederic could not feel Xavier's emotions because his energy could not enter his body. It is too weak.
Special talents can see emotions and have an excellent memory, however, they don't have significant energy. You can't accumulate enough energy in your body because you have only opened one point.
Those who use the art of fighting can use energy to intimidate a target, but they can't use it to read emotions.
- The Assistant Frederic is a man who can do anything. Of course, he could not let that happen.
Xavier did not let him speak and start talking again:
-What do you want to do with your life? What are your ambitions?
Frederic did not know what to answer.
-If I'm with Highness, that's all I need.
Xavier puts a big, bright smile on his face.
- Frederic, that's not enough. Every man has ambitions. What is your ambition? What do you want to do in life?
Every word of Xavier was like a song. It made him tell him everything. All his dreams. It was a new feeling. It was a desire to tell him everything.
-I would like to be the disciple of a general, I want to be remembered in books.
- I want a high position in the palace, I want a beautiful woman next to me.
-I want to be a general.
Every word spoken by Frederic was told more and more quickly.
With every word, Xavier began to think it would be much easier for him.
With a big smile on his face:
-You're right Frederic! You deserve all this. And I can give it to you. I can give you a chance to have them.
-You can do this?
Frederic was so excited and have forgotten the addressing formula.

-Of course, I can do that, my good friend. But what would you do for me?
Frederic didn't consider too much. He felt the man in front of him could give him everything.
-Anything! I would do anything!
Anything was Xavier's favorite word.
-Frederic, I can recommend you to a General. Once you have the opportunity, you can do anything.
-Of course, you are a man who can keep his place there. You are a man who can earn respect.
-Of course, I am!
Xavier took his hand inside the coat to mask the mysterious appearance of the sheet.
He thought it would be different from hell, but it wasn't. The person was supposed to want to make a deal, with him and he could take out the contract.
-Frederic, I can recommend you to a general. Instead, I want you, to tell me anything without lying to me.
Frederic hesitated for a moment. He couldn't force him, to always tell the truth. It has nothing to lose. Something told him.
It was a good feeling. He can't force him.
-Friend, I'll accept your offer. I have nothing to hide from you, "Frederic said with a serious face.
-Normal, friend. Xavier said as he pushed his paper.
- Then consider the contract as a reminder of our friendship?
Frederic did not say anything about the contract. It was also great for him. He had proof.
Frederic nodded approval and signed the paper.
The fact that Frederic accepted his proposal was normal. His desire was stronger. He did not want to think too much.
The conditions were all in his favor. He wanted to believe he could fulfill his dream.
After he finished signing, Xavier stopped his smile and with a serious face:
-Tell me everything you know about the one who wants me dead!
Frederic's eyes changed color in black. It seemed a zombie.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region
