《Dragon's Roar》Chapter 8 Changes
Advertisement
At the time when Logan was battling, Darius and Thren were looking at him through the mirror.
Excerpts of the conversation between Darius and Thren
D:”What the! Holy Hell isn’t that the super-secret art of Ki?”
T:”Exactly. This is what I sensed when I first saw him, the talent for Ki. Well he is still awakening his Ki so maybe it’ll be a few days until I can talk to him and take him as my disciple.”
.
.
.
.
D:”Thren I know you said that it’ll be a few days but he has already finished his awakening!”
T:”That’s……ok I’ve never seen a person finish their awakening that fast. Maybe because he has already done it before.
D:”But I thought that you can awaken only once?”
T:”Oh no you can awaken multiple times but that is different. What I’m saying is the boy mentioned knowing how to fight from his world. Maybe he has already awakened in his world. That would explain his speed since he knows what to look for and what to do. But it also needs considerable talent to do so. Maybe I underestimated his talent.”
.
.
.
.
D:”Hey did you just see that! One instant he is there and the next he is not! It looks like he teleported but I know for a fact that teleporting requires a lot of energy and preparation time. What he did was instantaneous!”
T:”I’m shocked! Even I have never seen anybody use such a technique. It must be his racial ability.
D:”You mean him being a hybrid and all?”
T:”Ya that’s the only thing I can imagine having such power”
.
.
.
.
D:”Hey how do you obliterate that tough robot with a simple palm strike?”
T:”You don’t, that was no simple palm strike. That was a skill. You clad you palm in Ki and execute a palm strike. At contact you send a portion of your Ki inside your opponent and have it explode from inside out. Since Ki is basically energy armor does shit to stop it.
Only internal energy can defend against such a strike. Since the robots didn’t possess internal energy, thus the result. But that skill uses a lot of Ki”
.
.
.
.
D:”Ok he finished off the robots but he looks too tired and he just let his guard down. Rookie mistake that. I don’t think he’ll survive the surprise barrage”
T:”Don’t be so sure, kid has surprised us time and again”
D:”Did you just see that! He reacted even before the guns fired! And that looks like armor of some kind!”
T:”OK the kid obviously has great senses and also knows multiple techniques of Ki utilization. It’s decided. This kid is gonna be my successor. It’s not every day that I come across talents of such magnitude.”

.
.
D:”Ouch that stab is definitely gonna hut. Hey did he give up! He just dismissed his glove thingy”
T:”Keep watching. He has a plan, I Think”
D:”Armor and gauntlets, going full defensive huh.”
T:”Looks like he is concentrating on recovery and moving forward while staying defensive”
.
.
.
.
D:”Hey is it just me or are that knives that hit him keep disappearing instead of falling down”
T:”Yes I noticed but even I don’t know what’s happening”
.
.
.
.
D:”Oh look at that, he had been stockpiling the knives. Maybe he has a storage ring?”
T:”May be, but I wonder what he is going to do with all those knives”
D:”Obvisously go out with a bang! He’ll start throwing all knives in random directions and make a dash for the exit”
T:”Don’t project yourself on him. I think he will wait to do a counter. Though I don’t know how he is planning to take them out knives. Robots don’t have vitals where a single stab can kill”
.
.
T:”Told you he would wait for a counter. But that skill, exploding knife? I’ve never seen that nor heard about it”
D:”Meh going with a bang was a good idea too”
T:”But now he is all exhausted and I don’t think he will be able to keep moving. Too bad that he will have to fail after coming this far”
D:”Yes first time I see someone without training almost complete this test at the highest difficulty”
.
.
.
.
D:”I’m not seeing things am I? How the hell is he moving? He is supposed to be exhausted!”
T:”He looks like an undead walking. He is obviously running on fumes though I didn’t expect that too. I don’t think he will last till the door”
.
.
.
.
Finally they watch him come out the door, smile at them and faint. They honestly didn’t believe he would make it hence were wearing shocked faces.
After Logan fainted in front of them, they first healed it, forced him to drink some water and laid him on a bed to rest.
After 4 hours,
Logan starts waking up from his sleep. He groggily opens his eyes and stares at an unfamiliar ceiling. He then looks around and surmises that he was being kept in a medical room.
Logan slowly tries remembering what happened and it all comes back to him. He feels pleased for completing the test though angry at the instructor for not giving him a heads up.
He saw some fruits lying in a basket beside him and stated eating a fruit that looked suspiciously like an apple. But it tasted like a banana. Looks like the developer liked to mess around with the players.
Logan decided to take stock of the situation and opened all the notifications that had piled up during the test. They were mostly stat increases and skill improvements.

RakhtaBhushan (Blood Ornament)
[This book has been contracted elsewhere, which is why I am not updating any more. Please contact me if you want to continue reading the story.] God King Arya defeats Agni Asura Yaman. Two hundred years later, Asura Yaman reincarnates as golden prince, Suryadev, of RakhtaPrastha. Once he comes of age, a darkness begins to lurk in his dreams. Flashbacks from his past life erode his mind, his fate "unforeseen by the gods." As he seeks to heal, his path entwines with Vidyut, his long time rival. Hardened by the cruelties of life, Vidyut embraces the dark art of Tantra, for which he is both rejected and coveted by the people of the five kingdoms. Meanwhile, the kingdom of RakhtaPrastha is facing political turmoil and rival kingdoms, while the animosity between God King Arya and Yaman/Surya's supporter, Goddess Dimuka, is spilling into the human world. Princes, Spells, Gods, Spirits, Heaven, Mythical creatures, Wars, and Reincarnation, and so much more. It is based on Indian mythology, specifically Hindu mythology. But it is an original fantasy and focus is character arcs. It has BL/Gay content. Most Surya-Vidyut interactions are in the chapters marked Surya or Vidyut. The romance in this story is slowburn. **Daily Chapter Release** Cover Art Disclaimer: The cover art is using an image from Pinterest. The art has been kindly created by Ben Arisson.

8 55Affairs of Demons and Men

"Oliver Twist meets Lord of the Rings": A young man becomes aware of several things in his life and takes matters into his own hands.
8 80Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
