《Monarch of the Darkness》C7. First battle
Advertisement
"You... What have you done, arrghh." Shouted the bald guy angrily towards the man in darkness. He was furious because he had lost two of his followers.
The two followers behind the bald guy shivered as they watched their comrades died. All four of them have quite the same strength. Therefore, if two of their comrades got killed easily, that would mean that this guy can kill them effortlessly.
The man in the dark gave two potions to an old man and ordered him to take care of the wounded guards. Afterward, he turned back and looked at the remaining men icily.
"Impossible, you are... The weak prince" trembled one of the men. When the bald guy heard those sentences, he was stupefied. The weak prince is supposed to be a trash 2-star Origin warrior. Before, he was considered a genius because he controlled darkness Arte, one kind of Arte which rarely appears in the Zenith kingdom. In the beginning, everything went smoothly for the prince. However, as he reached a bottleneck, he tried to breakthrough many times, but it always failed. Therefore, when people knew this they stopped their praise, mocked him and called him the weak prince.
Almost all people who lived in the Zenith kingdom knew about this story!
"So what, he is merely a 3-star Origin warrior now. Both of you are 3-star, and I am a 4-star Origin warrior! I don't believe that he can defeat all of us," sneered the bald guy. He thought that his comrades died easily because they got caught off guard.
"Interesting," smiled Hayden. Two of their comrades got killed by him, and they still got the guts to underestimate him. This bunch of morons got no brains.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, come if you dare," taunted Hayden icily as he activated Eyes of Darkness. Purple-dark silhouette color appeared on Hayden's eyes, making him look more dangerous than before.

"You two encircle him. I will take him from the front." ordered the bald guy. Both men nodded and started to encircle Hayden from left and right.
As both men got closer, they waved their hands and cast their strongest skill. "Weak prince, taste the might of our combined Arte, Icefire Explosion!!"
Hayden looked unperturbed, he glanced calmly at the combined skill and murmured. Luckily, I had made some other skills when I was in seclusion before. Thought Hayden as he waved his left hand and started chanting words.
Shortly after the ice and fire Arte collided on Hayden's place, creating a massive explosion. All of the animals nearby got scared and started to run away.
"Looks like he's dead from our strongest attack brother," laughed both of the men joyously. The bald guy didn't care about their opinion and quickly cast earth Arte on himself, trying to remain vigilant. The wounded guards paled, and Nevarth clenched his fist, wanting to intervene if it was getting more dangerous. The explosion dimmed shortly after, the two men were eager to see the prince's dead body.
As the surrounding got more visible, a wall of darkness appeared on everyone's eyes. Hayden stood calmly inside without a single dust nor scar.
"Damn, he is still alive! Quick we need to stall him," swore the men as they charged on Hayden. The attack before cost them too much mana, hence they can only use some simple skills to try to stall him. The bald guy also charged forward and threw a punch towards Hayden. The punch contained heavy force of earth Arte, which many ordinary 3-star Origin warriors cannot withstand.
"Piss off, piss off, piss off!!!" Shouted Hayden furiously as he let the power of darkness flow into his hand and obsidian sword. He slashed all of the two men's skills and punched straight towards the bald guy.

The punch collided, the two other weaker men got blown away. The bald guy was surprised because the weak prince could collide with him in a contest of pure Arte strength. While the man got distracted, Hayden smiled slyly as he saw through an opening, he ducked down immediately and uppercut the bald guy's jaw mercilessly, blowing him away.
"Hehe, since you dare torture and try to kill my men, I will kill your men mercilessly," said Hayden coldly as he charged towards one of the wounded men. The man regretted, but it was useless, not long after Hayden arrived and slashed him into two.
"Noooo..." Roared the bald guy. He stood up and tried to move quickly towards his last comrade, trying to defend him. Hayden watched and smiled mockingly as he cast Dark Movement and suddenly reappeared behind the man's shadow, beheading him straightly.

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?

Adventures of one dude with an afro
...East-Blue, West-Blue, South-Blue, and North-Blue are the four seas that constitute most of the whole planet. Humanity is thriving on the small patches of land which poke out of the four seas. These four seas are separated horizontally by a humongous mountain which encircles the whole planet, called Red Line, and vertically by, the most dangerous sea known to man, Grand-Line. Both sides of Grand-Line are flanked by strips of the windless sea called Calm Belt. The eternally windless strips of sea are impossible to cross with only wind-powered ships. It might be calm over the water, but the water hides nasty beings called sea kings, not to be disturbed as the name suggests. People in this world can train themselves past any and all physical limits, only their mentality is the problem. A strong mind makes the body strong. Everyone in this world possesses this almost magical power in them called haki. There are three types of haki, two available to everyone and the last one is seen only once in seven million people. Different haki can be used to strengthen the body to even affect logia users, to predict and to foresee attacks, sense others’ prowess and even exert your will upon others. Fruits of the sea devil. Otherwise know as devil fruits, give miraculous powers to those who eat them, but robs them of their power to swim and makes them vulnerable to anything from normal seawater to the crystallized power of the sea, sea stone. Devil fruit powers are categorized into three different categories: Zoan type fruits allow their users to transform into an animal of a sort and gain their abilities. There are also human and mythical type zoans so they should actually be called transformation powers but those ones are extremely rare to the point of none existent that most just associate zoan transformations into animals. Logia fruits make their eaters become the element that the fruit was. For example, the one who eats the fire logia fruit is able to use fire in their attacks, become fire to avoid physical attacks and much else. Last but not least are the Paramecia fruits, these fruits are undoubtedly the weirdest and most random of the bunch. There are some that let you attract metal, make you slim and slippery, make your body able to split your body into many pieces, makes your body rubber, lets you control vibrations, light, pressure almost anything you can imagine. Lastly, there are two opposing factions in this world. The marines and the pirates, most strong people are part of either one. Both have their ups and downs. Pirates are free people who do whatever they want. Good or Bad. Marines are the upholders of justice in this world yet no justice system is without corruption. I closed the introductory book while frowning. "Isn't this a summary to the one piece world...?" The cover isn't mine and I am willing to take it down.
