《The Eraquest》In The Presence of Royalty
Advertisement
For the city called “ISIN”: People aged from 0 to 10: 23%
People aged from 10-20: 30%
People aged from 20-30: 29%
People aged from 30-40: 15%
People aged from 40-50: 2%
People aged from 50-beyond: 1%
Before checking on the other cities' statistics, he first analyzes these.
“Isin…about 500 kilometers away from Babel to the south.
From what I learned from father, I can explain why there’s such disparity.
The revolution happened 30years ago, considering how many people died and got infected throughout the years…And since the older the deadlier, people older than 40 are a rarity.
It Is only that the Xoom Generation was born with an immune system able to deal with the diseases caused by the hybrid gene on a higher degree. I assume they’ll live longer… Or I should say we.
But that isn’t my interest right now, for me to know the specifics of what happened long ago, I’ll have to find someone older than 40.
3% of Isin’s population. That will be hard to do…Plus I didn’t even think of how I’m going to approach someone about such thing. Valvesteen mentioned how people refused to talk about it, and that is why we have no clue about what happened today.
I don’t quite understand that, but it is true. I was going to ask Father about it, but he didn’t leave me the chance.
Plus, talking to someone you don’t know is almost a crime I don’t want anyone doing to me.
I’ll check the other cities, the one with the higher percentage of older people will be the one I may go to.
-The city of “Larsa”: People aged from 30 to 40: 12%
People aged from 40 to 50: 4%
People aged from 50 and beyond: 2%
-The City of “Nippur”: 30 to 40: 17%

40 to 50: 1%
50 and beyond: 0%
-City “Akkad”: 30 to 40: 16%
40 to 50: 3%
50 and beyond: 2%
Seeing the results, it is Akkad that has the higher percentage of old people compared to the other cities. Babel has in fact the lowest, with only 0.5% of people aged 40 and beyond!
But Levon, was still hesitant!
‘…Do I really want to go? I know nothing about these places.
What if no one wanted to talk to me about it? That is assuming they know who I am…Of course they do, I am the adopted son of the head minister of all Kush…
This can result in many things, if I ever decided to go…I’ll have to make it as secret as possible. I’ll have to target a specific person; I know some people who can help in doing that…
But first, visiting King Axel is the priority.
He might have all the answers I need; from what I remember he is the talkative type. One of the reasons why I always avoided him…
But it isn’t the time anymore, something keeps driving me to know more about this…More and more, i don’t know what it is…I just know that I must keep on going this way.
It is settled!
Tomorrow, I’ll go to the Twin temple.”
With his colored firy eyes lighting up in the darkness, his will was clear and undeniable!
….
*The first of July, 3pm in the scientific research institution*
Levon has finished his job earlier than usual, to head out towards his destination…
“You’re leaving early, what’s the matter?”. Catching him off guard, Robert calls him from behind!
Not only he’s there, but Zephyr is also next to him!
“…I have things to do.” Levon quickly replies.
For a brief tenth of a second, Levon looks at Zephyr! Resulting in a direct eye contact…Until both looked away at the same time.

Robert shifts his gaze towards Zephyr, then starts walking ahead.
“Your report had some very interesting details…I’d like to discuss them with you at the office.”
“Yes sir!”. Replies Zephyr as he followed the boss.
The fading sound of their shoes was the last thing Levon heard, as he went on his way outside the building.
‘…Why is it that he has to see me today out of all days!? And, Interesting details…What could they be…
Whatever! I don’t have time to think about this right now.’
He made sure to distance himself from the central building he’s working in, and then called his personal teleporter. Called Bruce.
Levon. “To the Twin Temple.”
Bruce. “Hm!”
Unlike any time before, he didn’t do as said right away.
“To the Twin Temple.”. Levon repeats.
Bruce. “…Yes sir.”
As always, few seconds and they’re already there. The door automatically lifts, but before Levon could get out Bruce could not contain his mouth.
“Dare I ask, you’re meeting with the king?”
Levon. “…I hope you’ll be professional enough not to tell Father Robert about it.”
Bruce remains silent for a moment and then says. “I won’t.”
He is out of the picture.
Levon is now standing right in front of the glorious Twin Temple, the tallest and most special building in Babel. Though it looks similar to other buildings, the twin aspect gives it uniqueness.
‘Now then… Here I am. I didn’t take a rendezvous, I didn’t want anyone else to know I’m coming.
Who thought what he once told me would be useful.
There is this secret passage that leads right towards his personal room. I wonder if it’s still here...
Levon starts checking the side walls of the building with his hands…After about 10 seconds.
‘There it is!”.
With a bit of force, he pushes the wall with his left hand. An invisible brick appears! Suddenly, the brick transforms into a door! Levon quickly gets inside without leaving any trace.
The door led right towards an elevator, with no floor buttons to be pushed! Meaning that it only leads to one floor.
Levon continues his mission impossible impression and gets inside the elevator.
“OOOOHOOOO! Look who’s here!!”
A loud voice cracks the silence!! Levon almost jumps from his place, but still had the presence of mind this time to recognize the voice.
“..King..Axel!”
“Hahahahahaha I was just as surprised as you are now when I saw you.”
‘…My senses are detecting that the voice is coming from less than 2 meters ratio!! But I can’t detect any vocal device in the elevator!!
How is he communicating it to me?’
Suddenly, Levon feels a hand tapping his shoulder. He turns around but sees nothing!
It gave him the creeps. Couple seconds later…
“…How did you find my new invention?”. The King immerges from the nothingness!
‘… All this time he was in fact inside the elevator!!??’ Levon says in his mind.
He’s confused, ashamed and surprised all at once.
With a wide smile and open eyes, Axel says. “Invisibility is a for sure a cool thing, but it’s just a visual trick at the end of the day.
What is more important, is the wellbeing of my dear Nephew. How are you Levon?”

The Boss of Beginner’s Village
Accardi, the World of Chaos and Glory. A well-known virtual reality game, where players could enjoy a new life as magical beings, powerful heroes or even despicable villains. The game’s programmer, our protagonist, accepted a famous web novelist’s proposal and that’s how the story ‘The Rising of the Magic Swordsman’ was born. Counting with Accardi’s finely made world settings and the writer’s creativity on its peak, both the game and the novel became tremendously popular. But before our protagonist could enjoy this popularity or plot the writer’s murder for distorting the world of Accardi, she died. And then she reincarnated, in a place incredibly similar to her own game’s world. Well, it wasn’t. She didn’t know what god she offended, but the world she reincarnated into wasn’t her Accardi, but the novel’s. To make it even worse, she wasn’t just a mob character, but actually a future member of the protagonist’s harem. And although everything was ridiculously troublesome, there was one thing she couldn’t accept: the fact that in the novel, her precious beginner’s village would be destroyed! Since one of the game’s gold rules was ‘no death at the beginner’s village’, our protagonist takes her pride as the game’s programmer to protect the village! Along the way, several individuals join her to help her goal. But as time passes by, they realized... this lass isn’t normal, is she. So, welcome to Doveshire! Hmm? Are you a powerful master traveling around? An highly dangerous wanted criminal? This kingdom’s King? Well, it doesn’t matter! You are all welcome at our humble village! However... you know, right? No ~ troubles ~ allowed~ *everbody shivers* Expect chapters usually once a week, Saturday or Sunday.

A Merchants Tale
Legends rise. Country’s fall. Empires wage war. But what supports these great powers, allowing them to function as a single organism. Is it the common man, Farmers and Millers forming the backbone of the land? The Soldiers and Guards keeping public order? The Wives and Widows supporting from the side-lines? The Nobles from their seats of power? Or the elusive Sorcerers who wield power untold? And what maggots crawl in this great creature, all trying to get a piece of its slowly decaying flesh. The gangs of the Underworld hidden in the shadows? The Bandits and Deserters hiding at the edges, ready to pounce on any weakness? Witches and Warlocks working their dark art? Or other Nations clawing at their neighbour’s, salivating over the riches they stand to gain from another’s demise. There is one group that belongs to neither group. They thrive on others misfortune and bring with them salvation and destruction in equal measure. They can raise a kingdom up or tear it down screaming and kicking. These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith. Merchants come in many forms, shapes and sized, some gaudy, bleeding the people for all their worth, some tricky, preferring to make contracts and debts to trap men. And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)
