《The Demon Lord Just Wants Some Love》Chapter 3 - Definitely Maybe
Advertisement
“What!? You too!? Why wouldn't we just attack now!?” The demon commander asks, confused and somewhat angry. He had just been promoted and he eagerly wished to prove himself. But there were no wars to be fought, all he had was the escape of the previous demon lord.
Demon General Garl frowns. “Telzen was right. We shouldn’t interrupt him while he feeds.” He says, confirming the previous demon general's words.
Demon Commander Gorland's eyes widen. “Shouldn't you at least tell Demon Lord Oezu!?” He exclaims, dissatisfied with the answer.
Demon General Garl frowns. “Oezu will tell you the same. He knows how he got his position. It’s not because he was stronger than Arias, but because Oezu recognized Arias’ disinterest. He simply capitalized on it, and I’m sure with the gentle push of His Highness Arias.” He says, trying to explain the matter to the green commander.
The demon commander’s eyes widen once again. “There it is again! Why do you all keep calling him his highness!? Was he not overthrown!?” He asks, feeling that there was something wrong with his ears.
Demon General Garl lets out a laugh. “The reason you don’t understand is because you do not know Arias. You don’t how he operates and you don’t know what he’s capable of. I’m willing to bet that even Oezu has a shred of loyalty left in him. Hell, I’d be surprised if he didn’t simply bow his head if Arias somehow walked back here. As demons, it is in our bones to resist Arias as he is the loser, and as a threat to his rule, Oezu know that he has to eliminate him, but many of the higher-ups feel the same as I; it would be foolish to be relentless, because then the rules would change for Arias. Right now, all of this is happening with some modicum of respect. But you have the balls to interrupt him while he’s feeding? Dumbass!” Garl says before continuing to laugh.

Demon Commander Gorland’s face becomes even redder than it normally was. I doubt he’s that great! He thinks defiantly.

Myriam looks at the boy from across the carriage and a smile once more forms, which was starting to become routine in her daily life. She couldn’t help but lean in and ruffle the kid’s hair once again before sitting back and giggling. The idea was slowly beginning to settle; she was a mother now. And for some reason she was always smiling, a warmness radiated from her, and a glow followed her expression. She didn’t know why, but she felt happy.
Arias frowns as he combs his hair with his fingers. Just tolerate it for now, Arias. This lady has yet to cross the boundary. I can see it on her face, there is still consideration in her actions… He thinks, calming himself.
“You’ll like it in Elmgrove. My home there is bigger. And I have family there. You’ll have many cousins to play with.” Myriam says, hoping the boy would come to accept the idea.
“I don’t want to play with children.” Arias says as he turns his head to the window.
Myriam lets out a bitter smile. “Then you can play with the older kids. They’ll teach you use a sword. Wouldn’t that be fun?” She asks, still hoping to instill some enthusiasm.
Arias lets out a sigh. Play along, Arias. Play along. He says to himself. “What about magic? Are there magic teachers at the capital?” He asks.
A big smile forms on Myriam’s face. “Oh, you want to learn some magic?” She says somewhat teasingly.
“Maybe.” Arias says with a raised eyebrow.
Myriam continues to beam. “Then what do you think about this?” She asks as she raises an open hand. Suddenly, a fire formed above her palm, then it compressed until it a small explosion happened.

**BOOM**
“What do you think about that?” Myriam says with a smug grin.
Arias’ raises an eyebrow. He didn’t know the lady was a mage. Slightly curious, he scans her body for magical energy, then his eyes widen in surprise. She’s at the master level. Not bad. He thinks, impressed.
“How ‘bout I teach you some magic?” Myriam asks, happy to teach what she knew.
Arias’ head once more turns to the window. “Maybe.” He says.
Myriam frowns before an idea comes to mind. “What about cooking? I can teach you how to bake the vanilla cake you liked so much.” She says.
Arias’ eyes widen and he turns to Myriam once more. “Definitely maybe. Baking sounds fun.” He admits. Although he preferred to eat meat, he couldn’t deny that the vanilla cake was amazing.
Myriam smiles again. Got’em. She thinks triumphantly.

8 203Lost souls: Road to Godhood (Isekai) [Writathon Participant]
In a world where mages stand above nobles and even the law, it's not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Luz and his brothers are no different. However, their peaceful lives are shattered when a dragon attacks their village. Left with no choice, Luz uses a forbidden spatial spell to save his brothers. The consequences are not pretty--he and his brothers are scattered across different realms. Luz will have to travel to places unknown to reunite his family and gain enough power to take vengeance on the dragon. Armed with a single spell that he can only cast once before his magic reserves are depleted, Luz has his work cut out for him. Being the oldest is never easy. Author note: Please be warned as the book won't be what you might expect since the early chapters of my work are more of a slice of life of an MC, trying to adjust to his new life rather than slaying monsters left and right from the get-go with accelerated growth cheat and missions given by a goddamn system that forges your path, since everyone knows: an MC needs a system that tells one how to move forward. That was a long sentence. Also, some of you might consider my chapter titles as clickbaity, while others like me might consider them: not boring titles, hehehe.
8 150Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
