Chapter 4 Punishing an Arrogant Bastard
"Ashwina what about your new dress?" I asked her compassionately with a friendly smile on my face.
Do you like it?" I queried while maintaining my complexion and body gestures. I kept my attitude in such a way to appear cool in front of this attractive girl.
Ashwina looked surprised with her new dress. Her eyes glanced down. She moved left and right checking her new look, spinning around in amazement with the current change.
"Your Majesty... this, this dress is too precious for me, how could I deserve to receive such gift from Your Majesty?" said Ashwina who was still fascinated by her new dress.
Ashwina also wondered about how Dewa Chandra Kumara could instantly swap the cloth and underwear she was wearing with a very elegant dress.
"That's a gift for you as my first servant," I replied.
Ashwina, getting "speechless" with all transformations that occurred, was shocked even further after hearing what I said.
Her eyes looked wet a bit – she held her tears and emotion back.
"If you vow to serve me, to give your absolute loyalty, then I will bestow you a life filled with bliss, everyday. Forever," I continued.
Yes, I am actually a good natured person - so I acted benevolent in front of this girl. Even so, I still had to maintain my image in front of hundreds of horned men who were lined in a formation behind Ashwina.
*Plop*Ashwina suddenly fell to her knees and prostrated before me while declaring, "Thank you Your Majesty, I must somehow repay your compassion in the future. I adore You, the magnificent one who would accept me, this dirty nobody, as your servant, Your majesty."
I will always be loyal to Your Majesty, even ready to give my life if Your Majesty demand it. I dare not to betray or deny Your Majesty's request. Let heaven and earth be the witnesses to my oath of subservience."
Both pupils of mine dilated after hearing this surprise. I smiled because this girl left me overwhelmed in superiority.
I calmly nodded before turning towards the hundreds of horned men standing behind Ashwina.
"This also applies to all of you, if you swear allegiance to me then I will ensure everyone prospers as well," I proposed
Hearing this, the horned men looked at each other happily.
"Drap, drap, drap," hundreds of horned men proceeded to prostrate themselves and banged their foreheads to the ground loudly. The banging sounds they made was so loud it made the ground trembled slightly.
I began to believe they had become the true loyal followers of Dewa Chandra Kumara, my own worshippers. Their attitude proved how these people had been genuinely respectful to their God.
"Now, let those having ears hear me! Show me the way to my throne!" Pfffttt, I almost died laughing, for some reason I acted like a God who has a throne in this world.
After all, I definitely have a throne, right? How can I not have a territory?
Immediately after the words came out of the mouth of Dewa Chandra Kumara, a few horned men prostrating in the first line began to whisper with each other.

Honestly, it is quite amusing to see hundreds of horned men whispering to each other using a very soft tone.
Unable to hold my curiosity on their whispers for a long time, I turned to my very first loyalist. "Ashwina, why do all the horned men sport confusion on their faces?"
Ashwina glanced at the helpless horned man then, the one behind her.
"Is my request too unreasonable? Am I not your God who deserves a throne?" I continued.
Ashwina then scratched her head while looking down.
"Don't tell me that I don't have a throne. Aren't I a God? I should have a throne." I emphasized my request once more because I was so curious.
Ashwina reluctantly moved, she ventured to answer "Dear God, Your Majesty, to be honest we are the people of Aghrarian who came from the lowest strata in the society. We live in a tiny hamlet, without enough resources, we find some difficulties to make both ends meet, we cannot even make an adequate living."
"We even have to pay taxes to the aristocratic Aghrarians."
"I think it's natural that the residents of the village who are currently in front of your majesty are confused by your request, because honestly the throne can never be found in our village."
"The Aghrarians have faith in Dewa Chandra Kumara who will one day appear in the form of light through the offering of virgin girls."
"However, our God never appeared after many trials conducted by all Aghrarians, both from the poor and aristocratic strata of the nation."
"None of our offerings are able to summon the God to come into this earth," Ashwina explained.
"What did you just say? Earth? Is this earth?" I was surprised, why could this be earth? Isn't this a different dimension of the earth?
"Yes, Your Majesty, the place we live in is earth," Ashwina replied.
"What year is it now?" I was confused.
"We no longer use the calendar of the human, the race living before us, but rather use the calendar of the Aghrarian," Ashwita said.
"Can I know what year it is according to the human calendar and the Aghrarian counterpart?" I asked with a growing curiosity.
"Hmmmm, now we live in year 3012 according to the Aghrarian calendar or, if I convert it, in year 2319 according to humanity calculation," Ashwina replied.
"Why did earth revert to the ancient times? What happened to the technological civilization and all skyscrapers that were once built by humans?" I was getting more confused.
"About that, I don't really know for sure, but based on historical records left by the humans, around 300 years ago, there was a disaster on earth that merged the realm of our race with the earth's."
"According to human annals, in 2019, America announced that the earth's magnetic fields shifted quite dramatically."
"Basically, the movement of the magnetic field was commonly found. However, changes in distance that occurred in the magnetic field suddenly grew at an abnormal speed that year."
"This left a number of scientists, including NASA experts, in panic back then," explained Ashwina.

Hearing the word NASA came out of Ashwina's mouth surprised me, 'how could this girl know about NASA, the US-owned space agency?' 
"Ashwina, did you mention something about NASA? How did you know about the term?" I cut her off.
"Previously, I did not know about NASA until we found historical records of earth before the disaster struck. It was issued by an agency called NASA in the human world," Ashwina replied.
I thought in silent that Ashwina's words were based only on historical records found scattered when the dimension shift occurred.
"In the 18th century scientists conducted research on the movement of the magnetic field in the North through a compass needle placed on the earth surface. Hence they believed that the earth began to move towards the east."
"However, in the 20th century, the earth's magnetic field deviated north in a very rapid movement of up to 10 Km per year."
"The movement speed of the earth's magnetic field was accelerating faster and even reached 50 Km a year."
4190
"At the end of the year 2022, there was a phenomenon of dimensional displacement inhabited by humans. The previous dimension was replaced by our dimension being then called as Fermi Paradox phenomenon."
"Our civilization had moved to the face of the earth at the time of disaster, it occurred when the earth's magnetic movement accelerated."
"At that time, We had witnessed the destruction of the earth and human race" explained Ashwina.
"Therefore, the earth's civilization and technology had been destroyed and buried in the ground. When everything was decimated, the Milky Way and several parallel dimensions around that galaxy transported to the earth. Since then, our race lived on earth until now."
I was slightly surprised by Ashwina's story.
Okay, I understand that I am now existing in the future. I, however, would not continue to listen to Ashwina chattering, otherwise the whole day could be wasted on mere chit-chatting.
Let me stop here, and I will talk again later when I arrived at their residential place.
"Stop, Ashwina, let's continue later!" I immediately asked Aswhina to stop and urged her to take me to their village. "Ashwina, let me see the hamlet where you live."
"Understood, Your Majesty," Ashwina replied swiftly.
Both of us along with hundreds of horn-headed men began to walk back to the village where they live.
# Kalingga Hamlet
Not long after, the party of God and His followers arrived in Kalingga Hamlet which was not too far away from the location of the sacrificial ritual.
"We have arrived, Your Majesty," Ashwina said.
I was surprised to see a pretty slum village scenery.
What? This village was so damn poor and dirty. Its condition was similar to the "flintstone" era, do you know what I mean by the "flintstone" era? It is the ancient era or the era Before Christ, Bro. The Jurassic era!
Their houses were limited by a large wooden fence with a gate guarded by burly men with horns.
The houses were made of wood and plywood.
The roofs of their houses were covered with straw, dried leaves, dried banana trees, and dried coconut branches are piled together.
When we were about to enter the village, the village guard immediately confronted us.
"Stop, Ashwina, why are you here? Shouldn't you be made as a sacrifice in the ritual of raising Dewa Chandra Kumara?" Said the horned man who suddenly appeared before me.
The horned man was then confused by the clothes worn by Ashwina and said, "Your clothes, why are your clothes so luxurious? What exactly happened? Where is Chief Pradana? I don't see Chief Pradana in your party, where is he?" Said the village guard while cursing at Ashwina.
Suddenly, several people from a group of hundreds of men who joined me ran and prostrated before me.
"Please forgive the attitude of our village's guard, Dear Dewa Chandra, he doesn't know that you are the God we have been worshiping all this time."
A man from our party then stood up, glaring at the village guard who had just cursed at Ashwina.
"O Guard, you are stupid, prostrate quickly, don't you know that the man in front of you is the figure of the God we have been worshiping? Hurry up!!! Prostrate !!!!"
"What!!! This man is Dewa Chandra? Do you think because this man has no horns and wears strange clothes will automatically make me believe that he is a God?" The village guard scoffed.
"Where is Chief Pradana? I don't want to be ordered by you. If Chief Pradana says it, then I will believe it," said the village guard.
I immediately got furious to see the arrogance of the village guard in front of me.
Son of a bitch, he thinks my cool jeans, white shirts and black converse shoes are weird, damn it, you guys don't know that these fashion items are the coolest outfit during my time.
Not long after, many villagers began to run near the gate and saw Ashwina in an elegant dress. She came with a strange man with no horns who worn torn jeans and a white shirt who happened to be involved in a tough debate between the guard and one of the villagers who participated in Ashwina's group.
When I was unable to tolerate what the village guard said any longer, I was immediately upset.
Don't they know that I'm a God. How could they treat me this way?
"Whosh."
I sped away again as fast as lightning and then I began to strangle the village guards who did not believe that I am the God they worshiped.
I giggled and picked the horned man up and then I gave a little “blow” to the guard and the other villagers who are currently seeing the commotion in front of the entrance gate. "This is a lesson for you all, next time use your brain when you are talking."
"Kaboom!" the hamlet guard's neck broke again, his head then rolled to the ground, his blood flowed everywhere.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Gram Bloodfeast was once one of the most powerful warlocks of his era. There was a time when he commanded armies of the undead, conquering anyone who he dared lay a path against.

There was a time when he was enemy number one, whole legions of skilled combatants storming his stronghold of ice and stone to take his head. There was a time when he decided, "I think I'm done."
