《Emperor's Journey》05.Asura

Vargass was still draining the blood of his prey without realising a presence of another hunter. From the darkness, a black metallic leg stepped into the hut.
The black fog was camouflaging his appearance but something shining was popping out of it. As the steps were getting closer, the alien serpent was still enjoying his meal when a bright arc came greeted the serpent.
The serpent fell with his eyes as wide as saucers without knowing how he died. As the body being split in halves, the figure picked up something from the serpent's heart. A pearl like object revealed itself as the metallic hand dug it out.
"Vargass oh Vargass."
"You're a million years too early."
"The messenger, no one shall harm him."
He spoke as he examined the pearl under the elegant moonlight. The pearl let out a bright golden light before a cobra symbol appeared on it.
"New collection. Good harvest indeed."
The sky suddenly roared as lightning appeared one after another. A strong blew the trees bend due to the strength of the blow.
The earth shook at and the city felt the quake. Landslide occured at the nearby mountain. The newly introduced energy known as Esmen was distrupted causing the generators to go out.
"So, even the heaven and the earth fear "his" revival."
"As expected from someone who had the gut to challenge God Himself."

Livius was lying face downward on a strange world and time. The place where he was standing was exactly the same crater which appeared in the film.
'Is this the crater?'
As questions were filling inside his mind, his memories started to kick in. His sight travelled through an endless cloud before he came across a tomb.
He saw a group of mercenaries firing at the spirits. Electrical current struck while the wind blew. Earth raised forming a barrier with water flowing alongside object floating on the air.

Then, an anonymous voice echo into his ear. The voice was soft yet it felt like a dark entity about to be born.
I HAVE LIVE FOR AEONS,
MY THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE IS UNQUENCHABLE,
TRAVELLING THE WORLD IS MY DESIRE,
SLAUGHTERING THE ENEMIES ARE MY WAY,
THE WORLD IS MY DOMAIN,
MY ARMY IS UNSTOPPLE,
MY EMPIRE EXPAND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD,
MY BODY IS THE EMBODIMENT OF POWER,
THE WORLD HEED TO MY WILL,
I AM A FALLEN ONE,
I AM THE DESTROYER,
I AM THE EMPEROR,
THE GREAT ASURA IS ME.
'What's this voice?'
"Stop...Stop it...Sssssstttttooooppppp iiitttt!"
The boy grabbed his head, trying to calm down without bursting into insanity yet his worst fear finally gained dominance in his mind.
Both his upper limbs were stretched backward as his face was facing the sky. He screamed from his very lungs as massive amount of pain was felt by his body.
"AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!"
The uncontrobble amount of rage began assualting into the body. A blue flame light up from his body burning his very cells while black veins began their invasion in his bloodstream.

Somewhere within the vast universe, a group of four people were sitting in a round table. There was not a single human on that table.
They were using a foreign language that no Earthling could understand. Their language tongue was even harder than most language on Earth.
"It's been while since we meet like this, my siblings."
A draconian was sitting on one of the five vacant seat with the majestic aura of a powerful king. He was staring at the bird kin, an elf and vampire entities with a stoic expression.
"Aniue, is the source of the rumor authentic?"
The humanoid bird asked the draconian showing his concern. The draconian smiled at his siblings.

"Indeed, Horus."
"Yay! Yay!"
"~Daddy, is back~."
The vampire danced happily using her arms upon receiving the news. Her two fangs were slightly visible despite the lips' concealling them.
"Tsk."
"Venus. Mind your manners."
The elf showed a slightly unsatisfied for her sister's playful nature. As she slips her tea from the cup, the aura of an elegant lady could not be surpressed.
"Oh! Looks like daddy's favourite is happy."
"Right, Susan-neesan."
"Wha...what are you talking about?!"
The female elf blushed as her sister hit the bulleyes. The panicked elf caused by Venus had led Horus to join the laughing moment.
"Oh, come on sis."
"You really miss papa, aren't you?"
The eldest known as Ryuma made a sound of clearing his throat signaling his younger siblings to stop.
"Venus stop teasing your elder sister."
"But. But. Bu-"
"No but."

In a dark world, the sound of metals clashing echoed as red liquid being spilled on the ground. The red pools mixed together forming the crimson river which flowed in a fast pace while large quantity of lifeless bodies were being piled up forming mountains.
The dark red skin figure jumped onto one of the corpses before he took a bite on the raw flesh. Blood was still fresh yet the gory scene would make any weak minded person to fall unconscious simply by witnessing it.
This red skin humanoid figure is known as Asura, a race of human like creatures which act based on their instinct. Their society follows the law of the jungle where the strong preys on the weak.
Immorality and violence are their entertainment. They had been raping, pillaging and even cannibalising throughout their life. They never had any sort of moral code.
Many races had been consumed by the Asuras whenever the latter set foot on a foreign place. They will devour everything as far as eyes could see. Famine shall came as soon as this savage race arrived at any place.
There was a mysterious race which had been oppressed by the Asura sought help from a foreign king who happened to be a passer by. This race was so isolated from civilisation to the extend that none of the king's men understand what they were speaking about.

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, 10am Central/ 3pm GMT. ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
