《Void Emperor》Humanity’s true nature
Advertisement
When they got outside the dungeon they found the guard’s corpse missing.
“Young master,do you think he got eaten?”
There was a guardian’s uniform right where the guard was supposed to be.
“Prison Guard uniform”
+1 strength +3 stamina
“Hah,looks like human corpses dissipate and drop items too,it wont take long before humans get at each other’s throats”
And right he was,after using fireball to destroy the wall,a city burning with chaos appeared in front of them.
Building’s were destroyed and monsters were killing humans everywhere.
“So this is what the end of the world looks like huh?
Well,we need some information in order to decide what to do next”
But when they were about to head for the city centre,a screaming for help was heard which made all of them turn around.
What they saw were 4 men that had cornered a weak woman.
Looked like they were trying to rape her.
“I am sorry young miss but we are all going to die from the monsters soon,how about you have some fun with these big brothers here”
The bald one who looked like the oldest of the bunch attempted to remove her skirt,the woman was helpless.
This is what misery looked like,at the face of death they gave up Their morals and tried to rape an innocent woman.
It had only been a few hours since the monsters showed up,thats how little time it took for humans to become much worse than monsters.
“To think i was feeling bad from enslaving a bunch of goblins,tsk.
Bastards who give up their life without struggling to survive do not deserve to draw breath in my presence”
As pissed as he was,he used dark fireball instantly killing one of the 4 men.

“What do you want you bastard?
Do you think you can mess with us?Come closer and see how i kill her”
He pointed a rusty sword at the woman’s throat trying to look serious.
“Spineless cowards like you dont have the guts to take human lives,go kill them all.
They are so cringe and i cant bare it”
Adam alone was the one to kill them,all it took was one punch
He wasn’t even using any skills.
After being saved,the woman pleadingly reached for Dante’s leg.
“Please,take me with you.I will be your woman i will do anything please save me”
She even started taking her clothes off but Dante was not having anymore of this bullshit.
He hated how most humans didn’t even think of fighting back and surviving,all they wanted was to rely on others like parasites.
He took out a rusty sword and gave it to her.
“Listen to me girl,the only way you can survive is by growing stronger.
2 hours ago i was pitiful like you,but by killing some weak goblins i now got power and can even use magic.
Take the sword and kill a monster,it should be enough for you to awaken powers and survive”
He watched her crying yes for a second before continuing.
“If i take you in right now by the time i face someone strong you will probably stab me in the back,i never take chances.
This is the best i can offer you,goodbye”
He kicked her away in attempt to leave but Maria stopped him and tried communicating with the girl.
“The young master would have disposed of me if I wasn’t strong and trustworthy,he cannot trust anyone however i will give you a present if you give us some information”

The woman saw Maria as an eyesore since she thought that if Maria wasn’t by Dante’s side she would have probably become his woman,but still at the mention of the word “present” she started talking.
“All i know is that while i was coming home from work,pig faced monsters started appearing near the museum.
They kidnapped women and killed all the men without negotiating or giving any reasons”
“Reasons,are you guys stupid they are monsters?This is the survivor of the fittest.
The strong dont need to explain things to the weak”
Dante had enough of this bullcrap ,he took out his iron sword and ordered the others to keep going.
“I still have unfinished business so i was planing to head central and cut my dearest uncle in half,however.
These pig faced monsters should be orcs,in fantasy books they are monsters who focus only on warfare.
They have strong bodies but they are not very smart,so how is it possible for such muscle-heads to not go all out and plunder but only remain at the museum?
This is bothering me so get ready,we are about to go kill some pigs”
Maria took out an item from her inventory and gave it to the woman.
“Redstone explosive”
Dmg 50
Usage: 1
Work of an inexperienced alchemist.
She smiled at the crying woman and said
“This bomb could probably get rid of a monster for you,if your lucky you can kill 2 and grow in level.
Should be enough to save your life and make you stronger,good luck”

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
