《ELECTUS - A tale of Peaceful Demons.》Inner Demon (1)

"If you don't explain yourself. I'm Bringing this place down along with you." Hollered Eric, both fear and confusion captivating his young mind.
Spinning a well dried out human skull on her forefinger, the strange lady spoke at a tone too low to hear properly. "I see rage has overcome the Electus' point of judgment."
Eric could hear one word out of the sentence, so with his tone lowering he asked. "How do you know I'm the Electus?"
Sure of herself, the odd lady cited. "Son I can see your veins from a mile away, such a valuable Experiment indeed grabbed my attention."
With a holler, Woldemir demanded. "Don't call my son an Experiment."
Crushing the skull she was spinning above her finger, her tone arose as she weighed in. "I see where he gets his rage from. Electus, I thought Fire has consumed your brain already, but you seem sane. How does it feel handling such power?"
"How could fire consume my mind?" Asked Mogranius this time, it's not like he wanted to make things all about him but she is talking about Fire Blasters after all.
Taking a few offences now, although off topic. The lady demanded, "Put that Shield down. If I wanted to fight I would have come to the surface and end you long ago. I'm here to warn you of great approaching threat."
Patriotic at best but, Woldemir cut her word short with a clear statement. "What can be a bigger threat than the illustratios? They are a plague to this land."
Her tone deep, intent pureish and her patience growing thinner, she detailed. "The illustratios are nothing but ants compared to the dangers as big as a Titanoboa. I hope Betzy didn't cause you trouble by the way. She is a sweetheart but she doesn't like to be woken up from her bap."
"Okay, you're a psychopath. Will you at least tell us about this upcoming threat?" Demanded Stefan bravely, hiding behind Commander Alia.
Taking this from the very key point, she confided. "I'm certain all of you are aware of the 8 Sources of Magic. The Sources indeed gave abnormal abilities to humans, but it ain't Magic. It's just pure natural powers coming from your own body."

Giving a bit of a shocker, although the Gang already knew a bit of this. The lady stated, "To put it in detail, 8 out of the 13 Continents are powered by the first Demons that managed to get here."
Shocked, unwilling to believe that the illustratios were right. Mogranius can only disagree with a high pitched holler. "So the Source I've been worshipping ever since birth, are Demons? Bullshit, you're just nuts."
Not liking how her past friends are being slandered by name, the lady bashed her point of view against these Humans. "These Demons are one of the smartest, they are of my kind but more powerful. They chose to merge with Continents so people don't die, they could have abandoned your kind."
"Alright this is getting very confusing, this is worse than understanding teleportation."
Murmured Alia while massaging the left side of her head.
Noticing her talk, the lady on the throne asked. "A Kastarian, beautiful experiment. How did you survive the great collapse?"
Staggered, Alia jerked her eyebrows up, her mouth left at a gap. Asking, "You know about that?"
"indeed!" Answered the odd lady shortly.
Noticing how this undoubtedly crazy lady is too well informed, Alia decided to ask a question that has been puzzling her for 200 years. "How did Kastaria just vanish like that?"
Remembering the main point, the obviously demonic lady stated. "That's why I called you here, great threat approaches. You think that a 15 foot hole just appeared overnight? Betzy broke to the surface."
"I officially have a phobia towards any snake now!" Added Stefan, looking back hoping that Betzy won't appear out of thin air.
Sticking to the main point, the Demon lady explained. "When we flew to your planet with a mission to turn this world into another version of our peaceful hell, we saw the constant conflict on your planet thanks to the technology we have on our own."
And had the urge to add in order to clear her kind's own name. "When we arrived here, we had a mission to turn the entire human race into modified Demons. Specifically, Peaceful intelligent Demons."

"Peaceful Demons, that's something you don't hear everyday." Added Mogranius, willing to joke even at such a time and place.
Prepared for such a joke, she added. "As odd as it sounds, it was an aim. But we did figure out that there is no way to turn the people here into peaceful beings."
Speaking before anyone else cracks a stupid joke, she expounded. "We figured that out after hundreds of experiments sadly, such a waste of time although fun. We kidnapped people and made them drink blood from the 8 other Demons, you now know those Demons as the Sources today."
Although harsh, the Electus had to add. "You're making absolutely no sense."
Unwilling to apologize for their cumulative stupidity, the Demon lady continued her narration. "We didn't know that drinking Demon blood gives the human consumes, powers. It didn't turn the people in to Demons but gave them powers instead along with consequences."
Concerned for the young boy, as he could be carrying 8 problems at once. Commander Alia asked with a shout, "Consequences like?"
Horribly accurate and well informed, the lady laid down a bundle of facts. "Every human being that gained power, had an Inner Demon to beat and it hasn't changed a bit even now 16,000 years later. Those Inner Demons will constantly try to consume your mind based on what the powers come with."
"So you mean every Inner Demon is different based on the power?" Stated Stefan the harsh fact, being the only one able to fully catch up.
The lady stood up, even though being tremendously old, her black skin adds complexion to her beauty and she can easily walk on her own 2 feet.
Her purely white hair add tremendous beauty, as they seem extraordinarily well cared for.
Her youthful face makes her look like a gorgeous and evil 23 year old lady with daddy issues, and the demonic horns above her head curled with a white colour, make her look even better.
She started talking again while walking around the Fire Shield, "Lava Controlling for example, granted by the Demon of patience, named Zirinisen. Comes with the Inner Demon he had to beat, that tries to consume your patience. Lava Controllers can burn you alive with their ability, having patience instead of going full berserk is a good test."
The group stood between the Fire Shield, subconsciously clinging amongst each other and hoping that this crazy lady won't attack. They have no nerve to have a full on conversation at the moment, impossible.
Taking at length, captivating the people in front of her, Mogranius especially to the point of forgetting that he is holding up a Shield, the strange lady cited. "Fire Controlling is a power granted by the Demon of Rage, Alasteren."
Still circling around the Shield, she properly explained. "Having faced a lot of rage control until beating her own Inner demon, she became eligible to grant blood to our Experiments, like the rest of the 8 who beat their own Demon."
Adding a big piece of the puzzle she created today, the Demon lady continued. "Alasteren brings her Inner Demon of rage to those who carry her genes, her blood. Fire Blasters have rage to face because of the genes she passed down on you humans, all of you are mutants to her Experiments."
Adding a firm fact, or theory at least about her own. The Demon lady pitched, "Throughout my years of being able to think alone, I figured that none of my 8 friends managed to actually get rid of their Inner Demons but just shunned them down to the point of them not being able to cause trouble."
Looking at Mogranius directly in the eyes, she stated. "You old man, curiosity for knowledge has over comed your rage and you've tamed your Inner demon long ago."
She stopped for a moment added with a serious, less psychopathic tone. "This kid though, rage started consuming him too soon and too quick."

Sanctuary
A girl searching for someone. A boy who lost his memories. A man from another world. A woman trying to prove her worth. Follow along as this unlikely group of people join forces to help each other accomplish their own goals in this non-epic fantasy adventure. Fair Warning: This fiction contains many of the well-known light novel tropes, though I try to give them my own spin. If you’re tired of them by now, you might want to keep away. There are no demon lords however, nor any end-of-the-world cataclysm situation that only the MC can solve. This story is more about different people coming together and helping each other out to achieve their own goals and objectives.

Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?
