《An NPC Challenges the Dark Lord(LN)》Vol 1. Chapter 6: The Ascension to Royalty of an NPC
Advertisement
Now where do I hide this Prince Gabriel kid…The world of warfare is a fitting place. Yami hates the absence of peace and so he will never come here to defeat this man too early.
“Guards who have you brought before me? This looks like a war machine…”
“Hello King Senso. You will have a new son Prince Gabriel.”
“You cannot tell me what to do! This is my kingdom! Feed him to the dragons. My four sons are enough. I do not want an adopted son that’s not born of nobility.”
“That’s very easy to arrange.”
The Game God grinned and altered the entire kingdom’s memories.
“Hello King Senso. It is Prince Gabriel’s birthday tomorrow. Your only son. What are you going to do?”
Game God changed appearance into a monk with white garments and bald with some white beard.
“Hello Elder Monk. You have come to visit at the right time to enjoy my only son’s birthday and inheritance of my kingdom. I am glad I only have one. I don’t need to worry about dividing the kingdoms amongst sons.”
“Indeed. You followed my advice by heart and only made room for one son. Your boy has a very special ability that I will fully unlock tomorrow.”
“Please do Elder Monk…I hope this ability is useful in warfare. We are in the middle of very strong enemies and far far away allies.”
“Very.”
“I also want you to become my advisor. I do not trust my current one.”
“Thank you for the wonderful offer but I am busy praying.”
The boy came into the throne room right on time to demonstrate the perfect qualities I’ve implanted.
“Our King”
The boy bowed.
“You are too nice son. You must learn to be rough like your Father.”

“That is not good Father.”
“Being good won’t help our kingdom in this war filled world! Today we are hunting to get rid of that girly personality.”
The boy will not break.
“Hold your rifle this way. Now aim the bear from afar.”
“The bear did nothing wrong Father.”
One of the guards proceeded to walk to the bear and got attacked. The King sacrificed the guard.
“Son shoot it now! One of my men is in danger, which will be your men soon! Learn to protect your own men.”
“Father he walked in on the bear…”
“Are you saying it’s the guard's fault?!!! SHOOT IT.”
This man might have been the wrong kind of father for Prince Gabriel’s angelic nature.
Prince Gabriel shot the bear dead right through the head.
“Good aim but weak resolve. You cannot be King without taking risks and killing. Killing is necessary in this world. That man had a family and he will not come back home to them because you couldn’t save him.”
King Senso brought his son to the mother and daughter of the fallen guard.
“My son failed to shoot the bear attacking your husband. Your husband died.”
The mother cried at the doorstep.
“Apologize son.”
“No! He ran towards the bear! The bear did nothing!”
The King was filled with rage and kicked the boy’s legs to force him to kneel.
“Stop twisting the story!!! APOLOGIZE.”
“I’m sorry your husband was killed by the bear.”
The mother was both sad and confused with what’s going on. The boy got kicked again.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t save your husband.”
That wasn’t the apology the King expected and so he got kicked again.
“I’m sorry I killed your husband by-”

“YES. We apologize deeply. Here is gold compensation as your husband was a great soldier.”
The boy could not understand the present he was experiencing. His memories are filled with fun and happy moments with his Father and not a single memory involved kicking or shooting a bear.
Now I know why I shouldn’t have messed with memories.
He cried later when they came home to the throne room late at night but his Father used a “non-lethal” method choking him to sleep while he kept shouting that boys aren’t allowed to cry.
I could just erase his memories again…I must ensure this boy stays pure. His state is still pure despite all that happened today.
Early in the morning, I had a chat with the boy and told him, he had the skill to take the skills of others and to my surprise; he immediately went to his Father’s room and copied his skills.
The royal party will be this evening. A gathering of strong and weak nobles of many classes. I used my sense again on the kid and he remains pure.
The party was held in the throne room.
An ability up for grabs every hundred years…the most overpowered the System has ever allowed…will finally be in the right hands of a pure angelic boy of my creation.
He was very behaved during the early part of the party where everyone is having a chat.
King Senso was the host himself and dinner finally came serving everyone red wine and the rare meals that soldiers cannot enjoy during constant warfare.
And then my senses detected pure evil. Yami must be here to crash the party but the direction is different…
The evil emanated from the boy.
The boy cloned many copies of himself equal to the number of guests and stabbed everyone but I managed to fade away.
So his father had cloning techniques, it explains all the dodged assassinations…
He took all the skills of the strong nobles. He did not obtain Resurrection and so was forced to clean up the throne room but he did gain high level memory manipulation.
He poured all his mana into erasing the existence of the dead nobles forever.
I did not expect a young boy would break that fast but it was just one day with his father going berserk…
It’s really my fault this time filling the boy with sweet memories when his Father was a war shock ruthless man.
“I’m going to save this world from war.”

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

The Czarina's Buccaneer
RELEASES EVERY MONDAY AT 18:30 CST ----- After suffering the torments of slavery, the destruction of his nation, and the massacre of his band of brothers, Rodion Kazansky craves revenge and yearns for the freedom owed to him as a proud Cossack. A lost horse and a chance meeting with the Catherine the Great set him off on a journey that will take him from the steppes of the Crimea to the beaches of the Gold Coast of Africa and back again. There he will face British slavers, pirates, and the ghosts of his past to become the bane of his enemies as the Czarina's Buccaneer. ----- DISCLAIMER: This novel acknowledges the fact that the Cossacks, and the Ukrainian people by extension, are unique and not simply a "different variety of Russians." The main character views the Russians as "moskal foreigners" and does not see himself as one. This also acknowledges the fact that the czarina deprived many of the Cossacks of their freedom, something that the main character resents.
