《The Elder Lich That Wanted Peace and Quiet》Chapter 5 The Hero That Won't STOP
Advertisement
"Why is he still HERE,"
the mansion shakes, waking Sin in his bed-chamber. A hero who won't give up is outside fighting.
"Sir, could we just kill him, that will make everything so much better,"
Sun gave a simple answer to a simple problem.
"We can't kill him, he is a beloved hero of a city. The death of him will bring more destruction than peace, it will paint us the 'evil overlord of death'."
The skeleton sighs deeply hoping to let the problem solve it's self, "How long has he been fighting."
The sadistic Moon swings open the door, "SIR, Phantom has been fighting this insect for over, NINE, HOURS!"
She tries to compose herself but fails,
"Just, give, me, the, order,"
Asking Sin with deep breaths between every word.
"WAIT, IT'S NIGHT! You are telling me he has been fighting till midnight!"
The grumpy skeleton had enough with the so-called hero, Sin marched to the front door blasting them wide open.
"Why do you fight you moron,"
Sin's patience has finally run out,
"Do you know who is coming tomorrow!"
Sin was rambling,
"You have no clue how important this get-together is, I have been waiting for ages!"
The hero was drenched in his own blood, his hair was dark brown but most of his hair was stained with his blood.
"I am Jack, and I have come to,"
Sin finishes his statement,
"Yes kill me many have but all fail."
Jack's breathing is labored, wheezing and coughing up blood from a fatal hit in his lungs,
"Please, I seek help, not war,"
his legs give out, leaving him on the floor raising his hand in one last attempt to get his aid. Jack gives in to his exhaustion, closing his eyes, the tear in his eye was made up of blood rolling down his face. Phantom relaxes into a calm state, his armor took no damage from the skirmish but one small dent in his chest,

"He is a true fighter, master what is your order."
Sin turns away heading back into the mansion, "Bring him in, have Heather heal his wounds."
Sin sat on his throne contemplating his actions,
"Never have I ever had a human ask me for help before, Moon!"
Moon seeps through the shadows of the ground,
"Yes,"
her third form has awakened. Sin not noticing her form because of stress,
"How should I handle this, Moon."
Her scheming starts, "Well master, you can always use him as a puppet, imagine all the things we can entertain ourselves with."
The adult Sun bonks Moon on the head,
"Enough with that, Moon go back to the form I love,"
Moon hiss at Sun reverting back to her first state,
"Sorry Sun, I couldn't control myself."
Sun smooths out her flames, she hugs Moon causing little burns, Moon gives a heartfelt hug back. They hug as long as they can, enduring the pain until finally letting go. Moon blushed but only her movement showed,
"Sin, the best course of action is to hear out the hero, he may help calm the attacks on the mansion."
Moon slides out of the door leaving Sun and Sin to talk, she walks the long glossy hallways. The halls were filled with paintings of a man with a black blindfold holding black flames in the left hand with a blade darker than her body. Beside him sat nine others,
"That elf looks like his queen, she is sitting right next to him."
Moon's eye catches something in the picture,
"They are married! She looks happy,"
Moon moves on to another picture, the painting has everyone kneeling and bowing their heads in sadness. In the middle of the eight sat on the floor the elf holding the man with a blindfold in her arms.

She weep over her king, "It didn't look like they had a happy ending."
Moon kept walking seeing all of the group's adventures, the last picture at the end of the hallway shows the man with the blindfold floating in the air like he has been released. Moon's focus was lost, she heard a commotion going on at the med bay,
"Someone restrain him!"
Jack rushes out of the room all delirious and in bandages tumbling through the hallway. Moon gets ready to take him on,
"Wait I don't mean to fight I just want to talk with your master."
He slowly raises his hands in the air surrendering to her, Sin opens the doors to the throne room, Sun walks out,
"My master is ready to see you now."
Moon and Sun walk into the room one dignified the other shyly moving into the shadows behind columns. Jack stumbles in, his right arm is covered in badges and on a sling. Sin starts the conversation,
"What do you want from me human,"
Sin is already on his throne awaiting his answer.
Jack swallows hard, "I wish to seek your help,"
he is stopped,
"That is asking a lot from a hero who wishes to destroy me."
The hero looks around making sure he doesn't get attacked from behind,
"Please it's my sister, she is suffering from a disease that no doctor can cure. Most magic is ineffective or does little to help,"
Sin is not an evil skeleton that kills for the fun of it but just his appearance is enough to be labeled as evil.
"Bring her here, if I have the cure I will give it to her, for an exchange."
The three watched him walk out of the mansion,
"Should we help him," Phantom had his worries.
"No, if he is telling the truth he will make it for his sister," Sin heads inside tired of today and hoping to get some sleep.

Welldark
Welldark University, one of the many schools in the universe specialized in the training of those that know the Dimensional Truth. Those that can, to put it simply, step through the veil where it is weak and travel to other worlds, no matter how far away or no matter in which parallel universe. A freshman at Welldark, Karitas aims to enjoy his university life to the fullest. Although he certainly is looking forwards to studying topics he is passionate about, what he cares most for is the building of his Anomalia - a soulbonded unit of several people that know the Dimensional Truth. It just so happens that this world-travelling ability tends to awaken in the women of the cosmos a lot more commonly then men. Harem-building hijinks ensue. This story is written in the First-Person POV. The series is written in volumes which release in their entirety on my Patreon/SubscribeStar and come to the public one chapter per month.

8 182The Lucky Dungeon Diver

8 248Theodran [A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy]
Release schedule: Thursday and Sunday at 12:00am CST. The world of Uneira is a desolate wasteland full of horrors and danger behind every rock, every bush, and every scraggly tree. Except for inside the Chalices, humanities frontiers and city states that have been protected by colossal white shimmering walls for generations. Only the most exceptional people brave the Unholy Wastes. But, inside of the Aetheline Chalice in its capital of Aethel, rank and status is determined by talent, skill, and archetype, but those that are extraordinary compete for prestige in the Pageship Games, where they’ll climb up the ranks to stardom or earn the right to carve a name for themselves in the Unholy Wastes after winning. *Magic is split up between Talents, Skills and Archetypes. It's my approach with a System like story without the system or other front-end applications of one. It's going to start as a bit of a slowburn coming of age, but that's really only for the first book. **There are three POV characters: Theodran, Modran, and Alanna.

8 189The Warden
Jake was a simple man. All he wanted was to live out the rest of his life on his family farm, a modest life, but one you could take pride in. Then Jake came into the kind of money family dynasties are founded on. Vacationing at his newly bought lake, Jake sits on his porch alone and watches as the world is ripped apart by some god-like being. This god-like being then decides that all descendants of the Gho Clan, still capable of cultivation, will be placed into a trial to test if they are worthy to return to the heavenly realm. Guess what, that inclueds Jake. Now, trapped alone in a cage made from a valley uprooted from Earth, Jake must learn to survive as everything is flooded with some energy he'd never seen nor imagined before; let's call it Qi. As everything changes, and the lines between fact and fiction blur, Jake will learn that his land, and by extension him, are far more important than anyone realizes. And the bastard who destroyed Earth? Well, he'll get what's coming, one way or another.
