《Shadow Emperor》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Alice did not know what to think of this strange boy. As she looked at his sorrowful sleeping face she could not help but feel sympathy.
She had lost her father as well, and the pain on Damian’s face and him repeating names all over again – He had probably lost family as well.
Alice looked at her grandfather, “Grandpa, I know that we can not help every person we meet, but I really don’t want him to die here. Who knows if this monster is still hunting inside this forest?”
At this moment, a talisman in Kain’s pocket vibrated, it was a message from his boss.
‘Kain, come quickly, we need help, come fast..’
He rarely received emergency messages from his boss, so he knew something major had .
‘Damn it, we have to hurry up.. But I told my darling I would help him.. Well, he has to go by himself I’ll do what I can’
With that, he drew a map on the ground, marking where they were now and where his friend was. He also left a safe route and a flash grenade if something ever happened. This flash grenade was made of a rare mineral, and if it touched something with force it would explode and blind anybody for a couple precious seconds!
Alice witnessed the emergency call, and after seeing the map and the grenade she also packed her things and left with her grandfather. Although she did not protest she still left begrudgingly.
Damian slept for another 10 hours. After a good night’s sleep he felt refreshed, and only his arms felt a little bit tingly. The pain from the day before has nearly vanished.
He looked around himself, but his saviors were nowhere to be seen. Seeing the map on the ground and the grenade he realized they had left, but who was he to complain? They had left a route to a safe place and left him with an escape tool, it was more than he could wish for.

He stretched his body before picking up the grenade and starting his journey. With a grenade in his pockets he slowly started to walk into the thick forest…
Damian had walked for an hour before he decided to rest. Currently he was resting against a tree. The tree saved him from the sun’s hot rays and it felt very rejuvenating in the shade.
Thinking of the unusual power that was inside of him, he tried to call it back. He probed inside of him, but after several tries there was still nothing.
‘Maybe I have to have this feeling again, this feeling of helplessness, this feeling of hate?’
He thought of the Shixiong Sect, he thought of Sheng Shixiong and Heng Feng, he tried to replicate this feeling of hate with all his might… But there was still nothing.
What Damian did not notice was the slightly darker hue of his eyes as he had these intense feelings…
With that he continued his way to that mysterious friend of that friendly grandfather-daughter-pair. When he was at the location where her place should be, he saw nothing. It looked like a perfect location for a hut, but currently everything was empty.
Then, he felt someone looking at him. He turned around very fast, putting his hands in front of his face as if to block an enemy’s attack. Before him stood a very breathtaking woman in her 30’s. She had long curly blonde hair, her assets were nothing but astonishing.
Two round melons decorated her chest, and the curves on her body were there where they should be. Although Damian was currently 7 years old, he still had interest in girls. In his village it was not unusual to be married when you were 10 years old, and thinking that this woman before him looked very alluring he could not help but gulp.

Oh and her legs, those long legs… and her youthful but still mature face that sized him up as if he were food.. Wait food?
“Miss, my name is Damian and on my way I met Mr. Kain and Ms. Alice, they told me to come here. I did not want to disturb you or cause any trouble..”, Damian said as he made a step backwards. This woman was deadly!
She chuckled, “Ah so it was Kain, I miss his warmth… but it seems like he sent me someone special huh?” As she said that she pushed him down and actually licked his face. “Yess, I can smell it, your blood is very delicious. I don’t know why, it is something I have never smelled before..” With that, she took Damian by his collar, took him inside her hut and threw him unto her bed…

8 311Dungeons Are Bad Business
Vee Vales has been kicked out of his home and directed to make his own way in the world. Along with his friend Alforde Armorsoul, Vee travels to the city of Oar's Crest. Once a prosperous and well-to-do city, Oar's Crest has fallen into depression and disrepair. After finding a strange stone that takes up residence in a tattered top hat and introduces itself as Reginald, Vee and Alforde decide to open a dungeon in Oar's Crest to revitalize the city and, more importantly, make some fleurs. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: Dungeons are Bad Business (DABB) is a slow burn slice-of-life dungeon core litRPG citybuilder that's focused on the day to day experience of running a dungeon. There will be some action, but it won't be the focus of the story and Vee and his friends will usually overcome their problems with their minds and their pocketbooks instead of their weapons. Since I'm participating in the writeathon, I will probably be uploading chapters almost daily for the duration of the event. Thanks for reading!
