《La Loi du Mystère [French]》Épilogue - Partie 1
Advertisement
Les geôles du Mysterium n’avaient jamais été un lieu que le Haut-Mysteriarch aimait fréquenter, même lorsque son métier d’Inquisiteur le lui avait demandé.
Et maintenant qu’il se trouvait de l’autre côté de la cellule, le plaisir était encore moins présent.
Pourtant il savait que cela ne serait que temporaire, d’un moment à l’autre on viendrait le libérer.
Il se demanda qui le maitre enverrait. Serait-ce un des nombreux espions implantés au sein du Mystérium, comme l’avait été Redaell ? Ou préfèrerait-il simplement faire appel à ses pouvoirs pour le faire sortir d’ici par magie ?
Weisz s’impatientait. Il avait rempli sa part du marché, les pistes menantes au maitre avaient été coupées nettes. Tout le monde pensait que c’était lui le véritable cerveau de l’opération.
Tempête était malheureusement encore en vie, mais il avait perdu la mémoire et ne présentait aucun danger. Lui aussi avait cru aux mensonges de Weisz. Il ne se souvenait plus de l’apparence du maitre et c’était ce qui importait le plus.
Maintenant, il lui suffisait de disparaitre et de prendre enfin le repos qu’il méritait. Tant d’années au service du maitre l’avaient éreinté.
Un bruit résonna dans le long couloir humide et une forme encapuchonnée s’approcha de sa cellule.
Weisz se leva, pressentant que sa patience avait enfin payé.
La silhouette révéla son visage et Weisz reconnut le sceau sur son crâne. Il blêmit.
— Je ne pensais pas que le maitre enverrait l’un de vous pour me libérer. Je pensais qu’il fallait être discret.
— Je suis toujours discret, dit l’assassin avec un sourire en coin.
Weisz n’avait jamais rencontré cet assassin. Il semblait jeune et… arrogant ?
Cela surprit Weisz qui était habitué à voir des assassins dociles, parfois même dénué de personnalité propre à cause du lavage de cerveau et du sceau qui les maintenait sous le contrôle du maitre.

— Où allons-nous ?
— Vous le saurez bientôt, approchez pour que je vous libère.
Weisz s’approcha lentement, pour une raison qu’il ignorait, il ne faisait pas confiance à cet assassin. C’était un comble après avoir lui-même dirigé toute une troupe de ses semblables.
Il n’était plus qu’à quelques pas de la grille lorsqu’un bruit de succion le surprit. Il baissa les yeux et trouva une grande lame en plein dans son ventre. La lame avait un aspect délirant, comme si son créateur avait voulu créer une lame qui soit capable de semer la mort rien que par la peur qu’elle conférerait à ses ennemis.
Le sang imbiba bientôt l’habit de prisonnier qu’on lui avait fourni. La lame se retira et son cerveau enregistra enfin la douleur lorsqu’il tomba au sol.
— Pourquoi.... fut-il seulement capable de murmurer.
— Le maitre vous envoie ces salutations, dit l’assassin avant de partir.

Return of the Woodcutter
Aito Walker was a self-proclaimed martial artist, a criminal, a broken man, and a fishing slave who later became a woodcutter before dying due to his heavy consumption of alcohol.With thousands of other humans, he is forcefully revived into a boundless grey space by the gods of a foreign world, Iris, to take part in a never-ending war waged against Fearmongers. A race capable of corrupting living beings and inducing fear, even the bravest of warriors cannot resist—when the Fearmongers do not kill them, that is.To bait humans into this conflict, the gods offer the mortals powers in exchange of eternal servitude and the completion of trials before finally entering Iris.Even though Aito doesn’t agree with it, he sees in Iris a chance to atone for his past misdeeds, in this fantasy world of swords and magic filled with many races, where everything seems possible.He will pave his own path despite the gods he despises trying to manipulate him into doing their bidding.Aito will start with almost nothing but his wit, a peculiar system, and increased strength—much like other revived humans.Bearing a sin—he could not, cannot, and will not forget—haunting him to this day, Aito will strive to regain what little honor he has left.He will suffer and, at times, fail. Taking advantage of his weaknesses, the Fearmongers, demigods, gods, and many others will hinder his path.But a powerful yearning will keep him from falling apart. An ever-burning flame melting away the despair and welding back the broken pieces of courage.A single desire.«I will find redemption no matter the cost.»………Or not, hun, who knows? The book isn’t done yet. Haha—SLAP!«Who put this guy in the synopsis narration?! Get him out of here and launch the warnings! Now!»***WARNINGS:— The MC is human. If you’re looking for a perfect MC, you’ll only be wasting your time here. However, if you’re looking for an MC who will LEARN, GROW because of his flaws. An MC who will try his hardest to overcome adversity, then you’re in the right place.— No harems. However, it doesn’t mean the characters can’t fool around without having love interests. A relationship isn’t necessary for people to satisfy their physical desires.— You will find a few typos, grammatical and wording issues, that’s certain. I’ll do my best to bring you guys quality content and such issues will either be nonexistent or extremely few. However, one man can only do so much. If I get enough support, I’ll hire an EDITOR that will look at the chaps with a fresh eye. And POOF! Issues no more. Improved quality. Happier author and reader. Not sure if the editor will be happy tho.— The first three chapters are fast-paced as to quickly get into the nitty-gritty but slow down afterward to give the story the time it needs to progress accordingly.— The book can, never mind, it will contain «strong» language, gore and violence.— Comedy, as you know it (and if you don’t, now you know) is subjective. So you might not like the jokes.— If you truly read that until the end you have my virtual congratulations ‘cause I sure as hell wouldn’t have done that.

8 186The Gulf
My friends call me Dege, I’m 20 years old, and I like to party. I still live on my parent’s platform, which sucks because the whole island sails to Paradisia on Monday, and Paradisia sucks. I’d much rather stay here with my friends. But I can’t afford to, because they are way more successful than me. I did just meet this amazing girl who also lives on Gulf Sails, so at least I’ll have her to keep me company in Paradisia. I just need to make sure I avoid the Gulf business mogul Elijah Braze, who I just found out is a sexual predator… and I’m his prey.
8 106Despite not Being a Hero, Saint, or Even a Demon King, I was Summoned
I was summoned to another world. Not as a Hero, not as a Saint, not even as a Demon King, but as a regular contract demon. You know, like the ones that come when you sacrifice a chicken or something on top of a magic circle. It's a bit weird, especially since I'm human, but I've just decided to go with the flow for now. Which apparently means becoming the employee of an item shop. (What's that? You want to know what cheat powers I've been given? Well, how about an inexhaustible source of mana substitute? ...Holy crap, I have an inexhaustible source of mana substitute.)
