《Grinding in Vast Martial World》Chapter 5 Jinxed It
Advertisement
There were a lot of small issues that I had to deal with. A wedding, arguments, and one especially interesting thing. A young boy named Nakasato Toru who had designed a new kind of shoe and wanted my opinion on it.
The shoes were maid of three sections of wood and a bit of animal hide to form a sandal that looked suspiciously like a Japanese geta. I told him he should make a pair for everyone including my self. He turned bright red and for a second I would have sworn he was just an average red oni. He bowed several times to me and said how he wasn’t worthy of such praise. But then told me he would need a unit of wood to make all of the shoes with I told him he could have once the quarry was finished.
“Uhh only five minutes left” I said as I stretched my arms over my head.
Boom Boom The screen violently shook and exclamation marks appeared everywhere. I clicked the blood read one over the top of the mountain.
As soon as I clicked the shaking grew stronger and a large boney hand emerged fallowed by a skull and ribs. Soon half of a giant skeleton emerged from the hill before it turned towards me. Great balls of blue light shone in his eyes.
‘How dare you! How dare you build on my grate burial cairn! Give me one reason why I should not crush this pathetic sect.’ It’s text bubble proclaimed in a I presume arrogant tone.
“FUUUUUUCK,” I yelled as I tried to think. “Wait skeletons are undead. Undead are related to cold. Cold and death are both part of yin so”
‘Oh great ancestor. We mean you no offence. Before your appearance one of my children was effected by a great amount of yin qi. Could this have come from you?’

“Come on take the bait.” I said as I typed furiously.
‘So it’s like that. I released some of my qi so as to freaze you away and a child absorbed it. How interesting. Where is this child now? I would like to meat it’
‘Very well. She is Aibu Takara my doa child I shall fetch her’ I responded as I looked thru the exclamation marks till I found her and told her to come towards the skeleton. It took more than a little coaxing.
‘Very interesting the qi should have destroyed your body yet it is forced down’ The skeleton said as he gazed at Takara. ‘Perhaps I could observe you people for a time.’ With those words the skeleton rapidly shrank till it was stand at the same height as an average oni wich was still a bit taller than Takara.
‘I thank you for your generosity and kindness you have shown’ I typed to the skeleton. A little ass kissing never hurt.
‘Pft. I only spared you because it seamed like a more entertaining option.’
“THIS BASTARD!” I yelled witch caused hand to pound on by bedroom door.
“Keep it down in there!” My mother yelled in her usually annoying voice. (Author’s note: Think Howard’s mom from The Big Bang Theory)
“Sorry mom” I half yelled back at her. “Fuck back to the game.”
I had the oni build a home for the skeleton on top of the hill using all our stone and most of our wood. They didn’t seem to mind trying to appease the creature evan if it meant pushing back the wall perduction. Although I saved enough wood for Toru to make his shoes.
Once the house was built the skeleton named Kuro took Takara in so as he could teach her to use her yang qi better.
Honestly I think I might be boned. Pun intended

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.

Reincarnated as a Warlock with zero skill
My previous life was just as boring as yours. I was a marketing manager for a flooring company. The biggest challenge? Would the latest colour be called "Grey Oak" or "Oak Grey". Then, tragedy. I was struck down in the prime of my life by a negligent delivery driver and a pallet of laminate flooring - which is significantly heavier than you think. So there I was, smeared on the floor, absorbed in my own self pity. Where would I go? Heaven? Hell. Did I care? Apparently that was not what fate had in store for me. Reborn in a world of dragons and fantasy, I became a Warlock. A pretty darn important one too. The problem, I had little to no affinity to magic and I spent most of my time doing my best to avoid danger. Danger however, would not avoid me. So, with my new life as an amazing Warlock you'd think it would be easy street right? Wrong. Forces gather to move against the Kingdom I am sworn to protect and, whilst my inward allegiance is to whomever is the victor, outwardly I must lead the resistance against the invaders. With my skilled companions Asha - a mage that can actually do magic and Torg - a swordsman sworn to protect me, I can only hope that they distract the enemy long enough for me to run away.
