《Path of the Conqueror》Prologue-2
Advertisement
A chaotic region with no lifeform only dangerous galactic storms. It was the beginning of everything and the end of everything. True Chaos. In this darkness, a light appeared. It disappeared to make a man visible covered in a red aura.
"Haa, this is the place where I will meet her. The location is not that romantic. Ohh she hasn't arrived yet. Aa.. damn these forces are a pain in the ass." His body was being attacked by chaotic forces trying to destroy body. He was barely managing to protect his body from them with his aura.
Then suddenly the roars of storms increased several folds. A light appeared and vanished instantly as a girl was left floating there with a barrier around her. She got close to the man to envelop him in her energy barrier.
"Aah..It feels good now. You are as beautiful as... forget it"
Think what would one do if he met the world's most beautiful person. But this girl was enchanting and pure. The boy was at a loss for words. His ecstasy was beyond any limit. The woman had beautiful orange hair and crimson eyes. Her skin was unbelievably fair. True Beauty.
"Care to tell me why you have gone to such lengths to meet me. We can't be together, I told you many times. I don't even know you." the woman said in a tired tone.
The Boy claims to be in love with her. He met her by luck in another dimension. The girl rejected him but he still tried to meet her.
He introduced himself as Zeidan Ukejul Vangrur Bane. He was the son of Duke Salius Bane of the Zinovia Empire.
The girl gave him a stare. And sighed. In her dimension, everyone was faking their affection for her just for her beauty and position. Never once did anyone care about her. But this man had risked his life to just meet her. She knew that if she hadn't come on time his body would have been destroyed by chaotic forces in mere minutes.
One month ago, Zeidan accidentally summoned a space loop using an epic artifact. And mistakenly travelled to another plane. He would have been hunted like an animal, if not for her. She met him by fate. She kept him safe and also found a way to go back. But she never asked him about who he was. Neither did she tell him about herself.
But sadly, that wasn't the case for Zeidan. He had already accepted her as queen of his heart. He wanted to spend his life with her if possible even the next life.

"You like me just because I am beautiful but not for my true self. Not you! Not my father!! Nor anyone else!!!" Her eyes filled with pain and loneliness. Tears started flowing from those pearly eyes.
In her life, everyone only cared about her beauty and always saw her as an item for political use. Even her father was using her to form so-called 'allies' and 'bloodline shit'. Not caring about her wishes, and talents. The only one that loved her was her mother but she passed away leaving her lonely.
Without saying a single word Zeidan embraced her in his arms. She didn't resist but hugged him back. She cried for several minutes.
"In everyone's life, there is a time when you are alone. It's only you, no one to cover your back. That time is the most important war of your life, what you will achieve and lose will only be yours. So, if you want others to recognise your worth, be one who achieves things alone and wins alone." Zeidan pulled her head away from his shoulders to wipe her tears.
"And if you ever want to cry like a cute baby, I am always there for you."
"I don't cry like a baby." She whispered slowly but Zeidan still heard every word.
He looked into her eyes and got caught in her innocence. Like a baby who needs nothing but love in this cruel world.
"Zeidan! Hey"
"Ahh yes."
She introduced herself as Vanessa Aragon, the third daughter of Emperor Yazmin Aragon of the Arafall Empire. This was a little surprise for Zeidan that the distance between their status was this much.
"Let's go to a better place."
Vanessa teleported them to a small domain with a mansion and 1000 sq ft of land. It was covered by a golden light and darkness outside it. Zeidan was a little shocked after seeing this. He had heard about small private domains in dimensional gaps but never witnessed it.
"It's a place between space and time in the void. Given to me by Royal mage. It's called the home domain. No one other than me can find it. Accompany me to the manor."
She took him to the living room and served him a drink rather say blood. It was the blood of a rare beast. Zeidan quite liked it. He was just staring at her with a smile. Finally, she asked.
"Why you would come to a chaotic region? Even though you knew that you can't go back on your own."

This was her mistake. When they met before and Zeidan confessed his feelings for her, she thought it was just his meaningless attraction for her beauty. So, to test him she gave him a rare crystal which could bring him to a chaotic region. She told him that if he love her then go to the chaotic region.
It was the same as declining his feelings as no sane man would ever enter a chaotic region. It was even difficult for someone like herself who has chaos bloodline to survive in this region. It was a death sentence for Zeidan. But this boy in front of him had just thrown away his life for a chance to meet her. She hadn't thought that he would sacrifice himself.
Zeidan smiled for a bit before speaking.
"When I returned to my home plane, there was a feeling of loss. My mind was just stuck on you. After some time, I thought that this feeling wouldn't go until I meet you. And there was also my old man whining about studying magic formations blab bla.. So, here I am."
Vanessa looked at him for a few seconds before letting out a little chuckle.
"Just so you can avoid your homework, you jumped into a chaotic region to get killed. Huh..?"
"Didn't I say something about loss, my mind stuck on you and you just focus on my study. Well, you know what just forget it. At least I got to see you laugh. So, it doesn't matter. You are happy then so am I."
Vanessa was in a better mood now. She hasn't even smiled heartedly since her mother passed away. Her opinion about Zeidan changed in her mind. He was now less annoying.
Zeidan also noticed this change in her mood. He started sharing his tales of himself struggling under a demanding father. How his father wanted him to be the best in every single field with his expression changing with every sentence. Always whining about the expenses he was doing on Zeidan. But from his talks, it didn't seem like he was a bad man but a dad who loved his son. Vanessa just smiled and listened to him.
"That old bastard thinks I am still a child. Hey, I am here stating my crisis and you're smiling."
"Hmm..oh..sorry.. yes, I am listening. Your father looks strict. What about your mother?"
"Haa..she died after giving birth to me."
"Oh.. I am so sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
"No, it's okay."
"You must miss her, no?"
"No, why would I miss her when I barely even know her. And yes, no matter how much of an asshole my old man is, he never actually let me feel alone with all the tasks he has for me. Well, what's the situation on your side."
"Well, actually worst than you."
Vanessa's face turned gloomy. She told Zeidan about her father barely even talked to her. Just making showing her off as a priced good in front of others. She didn't have any friends. Her mother was the last person she ever talked to openly.
His father's other two wives and consorts always badmouthing about her whenever they get the chance. Her halfsisters were always jealous of her beauty and the attention she get. Her halfbrothers always bring their friends to pair them up with her.
"Are you not affected by it? You should tell your father about this? It's absurd."
"No, it will only make things worse."
"But it's torture for you."
"Why do you stay there? I can see that you're talented enough and your potential is great. You should be able to make decisions for yourself."
"No, they don't care about that. Our bloodline is of Chaos beast that is among the strongest beasts. I have the pure bloodline of this generation. And our royal prophet has said that I will give birth to a very powerful descendent."
Zeidan understood her situation and that she was safe because of the prophecy no one would dare to hurt her at least physically. After some talk, Vanessa felt like her huge burden has lessened. She couldn't believe that she told him to come back when he got time and gave him coordinates of her home domain.
As time flew away, their bond grew more strong. They started meeting more often and spending more time together. Vanessa could feel the change in her life. Zeidan was now the only one in her life who she loved.

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
