《Hunger for affection》Act II - Palace | Farewell
Advertisement
The hot summer days pass with relative tranquility in the lives of the two beastly girls, who since they began to share a residence, each day they were learning more skills, as well as getting to know each other more.
As one afternoon Yue suggested how much the limit of Rin's racial magic was.
"Rin, have you ever tested how hot you can get?" Yue said, stopping after writing on the floor for a while.
"No, it's hungry."
"Well, I know that, but I'm curious, so I brought you this, for you to try," she said taking out some buns hidden in her uniform, and then put them away.
"Where?."
"You don't ask and accept my designs."
"Well..." Rin said, thinking that maybe she has saved some lunch, like some servant.
"Well, now let's do this, give me your hand, and you are heating up to your limit, if I feel very hot I release it, but you continue that I will touch you with a leaf, ok?"
"Ok..."
Rin said accepting, to then take Yue's hand and start to warm it up; the pace was fast being that the second was already warm, at three it was hot, and at five it was unbearable for Yue who let go of her hand and started using a leaf, then after seven seconds, the tip of the leaf dried up, but it happened that after this, Rin decided to stop.
"It's all," Rin said
"Is that your limit?" Yue questioned.
"No ... but it hurts," Rin said showing her hands, which were red from the heat.
"Auch, I'm sorry, it's good that you didn't continue, good listening to what you say. So you can continue, but your body can't take it?"
"Umm yeah," Rin said after thinking about it.
"Yeah, well, it seems that you have a physical but not magical limit, I think that with practice you can improve, but I think you're not willing to do that," Yue analyzed.

"No, I don't like hunger," Rin said.
"Yeah, I figured it out, so I guess you're already hungry?" Yue asked to give him the scones.
"No, little time doing this," Rin said.
"How? And what did I think I was giving you at once," Yue said.
"No, it takes at least a minute," Rin explained.
"Minutes... well then I guess I'll keep the buns."
"Give me, you promised," she said, smiling.
"You ... scammer," Yue said to then give the buns to Rin and then laugh with her.
Yes, they both had fun and were amazed, as you see that Rin discovered that Yue could read and write but not this language, on any given afternoon when she was teaching Yue numbers and she asked her out of curiosity
"Rin, do you by any chance know math?"
"Yes, add and subtract," she said proudly.
"Ah, just that," Yue said arrogantly and then said, "well, I, in addition to that, multiply, divide and after things."
"Umm? But you can't read," Rin said, doubtful of her friend's mind.
"Of course I know, but the language of my tribe, you know my tribe is very smart," Yue said proudly but then she was saddened saying, "Too bad your language is not served..."
"I see..." Rin said thinking that her friend's tribe was very impressive.
Then, as a matter of fact, it did not take two sentences, for Yue to agree to teach Rin, in a basic way these mathematical operations, as well as the numbers of her tribe, which Rin hardly used since those who she knew, did the same.
They were days of warm learning, of warm exchange, of warm friendship, but just as summer ends to give way to autumn; people's routines at some point must change, and that is precisely what happened to Rin at the end of summer, when she was Alone in the yard waiting for her friend, while she saw how her finger moved with her mana, as a result of her friend's training to be 'super-strong'.

"I hope nothing happens to her" Rin thought with concern since while the two of them were heading here, she was summoned by our boss, the head servant.
These concerns were not so far-fetched, since she always remembered that every time they called her it was out of scolding or because they sold her, therefore, to face these thoughts, she decided to practice despite the absence of her friend, who fortunately would appear later before her.
"Hehe, sorry for waiting," Yue said with a slightly awkward smile.
“What did she want?” Rin asked intrigued.
"Well, this one, I was promoted! That's good, right?"
When Rin heard this, she could sigh in relief, but she immediately remembered the time she was promoted and the obscure reason why, why it caused the worry to return in her, causing her to explode saying "Tell me everything!"
"Eh, well, she didn't tell me much though," Yue started saying, and then voraciously explained her promotion.
It turns out that the phrase that the walls listen to, should not be underestimated, since the fact that she knew magic had filtered through the servant, reaching the highest levels of the palace.
Yue explained fluently that when she was told this, she was scared by the uncertainty of the deal with the mages, but was relieved when the head servant told her that it was something very good, rare, and highly requested reason for this, a concubine of the prince, requested her as her personal servant.
That would be essentially all she had to explain, but the fact of this promotion meant one thing, which brought her sadness Yue who couldn't help but filter this feeling out by explaining this reason.
"Well, as I am now going to be working deep within the palace for the concubine, it seems that it will be very difficult for me to meet you."
"Yue..." Rin said sadly as she understood this.
"Hehe, but it doesn't matter, I'll see how I strain, you know I thought about telling you that you also knew magic but, then I remembered that you didn't want to ascend, you still think that? I can talk and tell them about you so we will be, together, so what do you say to me?" Yue said a little cheerfully.
When she heard this, Rin felt excited and happy, but she came to herself, and this danger so present in her memory, was made her shut up for a long time, before telling her friend, who was waiting patiently for her.
"I'm sorry, I can not."
"Yeah, I see, it's fine, I don't blame you, then I'll just go ahead with sneaking in," Yue commented a bit discouraged.
"Yue..."
"Yes, what happens?"
"Take care of yourself, take care, take care, don't get killed, don't let them sell you, please" Rin spoke and cried who knew the things that could happen to her precious friend, and that she could not do anything, since you servant like them, They had no voice nor vote in their destinations.
For which she could only cry and wish the best to her friend, who hugged her and consented saying.
"Fine, fine, little girl, you will see that this lady will not let herself be killed, indeed, with my super cheating knowledge I will live like a queen, so don't cry."
And so it went on and on for a while until night came and the moment when she had to leave the residence, being accompanied by the voices of jealousy from her fellow residents, but among them, there was a sincere voice that said goodbye with appreciation.
"See you later Yue, my friend, please take care of yourself."

Blood Demon's Retirement
Civil War had raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor. This is not his story. The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. Thus she retired, and went and did exactly what she wanted. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace. Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy. Expect: -slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action -world building -detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then Do not expect: -romance, other than maybe some passing mentions -politics, again, barring passing mentions Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

Valor and Violence
Valor and Violence is a series of short stories following different, yet all equally colourful, characters set in the same world. Birth of a Legend, the first short, follows Captain Erskine Erwell, a newly promoted Captain in the Calandorian Royal Navy, charged with protecting his people from all who would do them harm. Great news for the Calandorian citizens, bad news for the Skjar reavers that ravage the shores in search of slaves. But when a small reaver fleet slips the net and escapes to the southern jungles of Marduk, Erwell must fight a war on two fronts; one against the raiders, and a far more difficult war against the hostile landscape. If he can't find allies in this strange land, he may end up being the one in need of saving. The first part of the second short story will be uploaded on Saturday, the 11th of June, following Ferez Ahud, an aspiring young battlemage charged with the unsavoury job of 'terminating' a rogue member of his college. But how this nobody of a mage became a fugitive remains a mystery, and when the answer is discovered, the tables are turned and the hunter becomes the prey. I'll be uploading chapters of more in-universe short stories each week or as close to, work permitting. Content Guidelines: course language and violence

And that’s not changing. No really. He survives by his wit and acute knowledge of how adventures should go, unlike his younger brother Kael who would rather disintegrate his problems to ash. Together, they're on a globe spanning treasure hunt that is about to take a dark turn. While hunting for clues, Joshua decides to rescue an ex-superpowered-assassin named Gianna. Doing so puts a target on all of their backs and thrusts them into a global conflict not unrelated to the treasure hunt. The one thing Joshua knows is that he is out of his element.

The Last Death Mage
Since time immemorial humanity has always feared and shunned what it didn’t understand. Over time this changed a bit to encompass things that didn’t conform to their thoughts and ideals. Due to humanity’s stubbornness with which the enforced their ideals many lives were lost and changed. When humanity first clashed with monsters and the beings that use magic, this trait caused many bloody fights. Over time the fights escalated into battles and full on war on several occasions. Humanity due to their adaptability and persistence won many of these altercations, causing huge casualties to the magical beings. Humanity did not come out unscathed however; many of the empires and civilizations noted in human history fell due to these battles and wars. Eventually over time humanity and the magical beings came to a sort of agreement. Magic and the beings associated with it faded into the background of history, being relegated to myth and legend. Humanity meanwhile advanced leaps and bounds once magic faded, leading to our current level of civilization. Not all magical beings were content with this, thus they did their own actions and killed or fed on humans. This has led to many organizations to be formed concerning this, on both the side of humanity and the side of magical beings. They regulate and control the use of magic as well as protect humanity from the darker things that are now not but myth to them, but there is a reason humanity instinctually fears the dark. Unfortunately there are always those that are unsatisfied by the status quo, and those that are prejudiced against things that are different. This is a story of a young man who wanted nothing more than to be normal. Unfortunately Fate and the world he lives in do not easily allow that this, thus his life changed, not for the better. Everyone has heard of or read stories about monsters and legends, heroes and villains, this is one such story. Hi, this is my second attempt at a story here, the first was before the major overhaul happened and i lost everything related to that story due to PC troubles. I hope you enjoy this if you dont please leave some constructive criticism in the comments. An Editor and the like will be needed, but I will edit as problems are pointed out and as i proof read. This story will have no set schedule, unless of course I decide to type up a bunch in succession then i will note that in a chapter beforehand. ADDED NOTE: most sexual content will be in Interludes or sub chapters with a .5 attached. Profanity and gore however shall be plenty in the actual story, though the descriptives for the gore may be added later. (For example, in the prologue that gave a hint at what happened to the MC, will be enhanced so that the gore invokes more descriptive/complete mental pictures, though it may wait.) ~Tyroth Gideon
