《Undesired Power》Prologue: The Beginning 2.0?
Advertisement
A figure with red horns and dark red skin sat on a throne as he yawned. His throne had an upside-down Christian cross on the back of it. At the feet of his throne, skeletons and skulls were on the bottom of them. The figure had dark black hair, its face wasn’t shown but dark markings were covering the left side of his face, and the dark markings spread to his chest, arms, legs, and back. His blackish-red horns twitched, as did his sharp demon-like tail.
The figure had a 666 tattoo on both of his hands. Finally, the being spoke with its deep and dark voice echoing throughout this space he was in.
“Being the devil is really fun sometimes. But at the same time, it can get really boring.”
The Devil stood up off of his throne revealing his background, which was dark red flames. The flames seemed to be surrounding the space that the devil was in. The Devil was in a large room that connected to another room across from him.
The devil then spoke again, his deep and dark evil voice echoing throughout the room once more.
“It’s been so boring since you left Taida. That bastard Kami, he’s made me so bored there’s nothing to do here in hell.”
The Devil tapped his chin as he wondered what to do next. All there was in hell was nothingness; it was filled with violent demons and negativity. Sure, The Devil liked that since he was the pinnacle of evil although, if evil was done just for no reason then there was no reason to it. The devil continued to think to himself, he wondered what he could do to entertain his boredom as well as cause some more chaos.
“What could I do Mr. Satan to make this fiery abyss better?”
The devil continued to stand as he put his thumb and index finger on his jaw and began to rub. He began to ramble about ideas in his head that he spoke out loud.
“We could attack heaven again; no that’s too boring. We could have the oni’s scare some humans again, Nah we did that already. Hmm, we could change the dogs into hellhounds again, eh too easy. I need a way to cause chaos again! I crave negative energy!”
As soon as the thought of negative energy went through Satan’s mind, his pupils suddenly turned red, his pupils also now had a red-colored upside-down cross in them. He opened his mouth revealing all of his sharp demon-like teeth. A darkish red glowing aura surrounded the demon, as a laugh escaped its mouth.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA! Hmmm. How about I find a human host? Yeah, that could be fun! I could also find Taida since he’s in the human world.”
Satan said as he rubbed his chin, he wondered about the idea of it. Most of the time he would just make a lower-ranked demon possess a human, but he did want to experience it himself. But then Satan thought of a problem.
“Hmmm, if I leave, who will take my place in hell for a while? I could ask my wife Abyzou, but she already has enough to do. I heard she recently caused a bunch of women trauma. I wouldn’t want to ruin her fun.”
Satan then began to think of some higher-ranked demons in hell that could take his place while he went to earth for a while.
“Hmm, what about Abaddon, eh no he sucks. Gaap? No. Damn this is hard, too bad Taida had to go and betray me for some dumb angel he’d be perfect to take my place.”
Satan had to think of someone perfect for the job. Satan had a lot of responsibilities to do, like meeting new humans that came to hell, turning fallen angels into full-fledged demons, throwing parties in hell, and a bunch of other stuff to attend to. Satan thought long and hard about who to assign for his job as King Of Hell.
Sure, it was only temporary but he needed someone special, someone, perfect. Satan then sat down to think harder. Satan then thought to ask some of his demon colleagues, he snapped his fingers using his omnipotent power to make three random high-ranked demons appear in front of him. The three demons looked confused as hell (pun intended.). When they looked in front of them and saw the devil both individually got on their knees and bowed, and then spoke.
“Yes Lord Satan, we are here.”
“I have a question, what are the most powerful Demons besides me and my family?”
Satan spoke with a serious face as he kept his eyes on all three of the demons.
The three demons separately secreted as they looked to the ground. They were all scared to answer, they knew if they said one wrong thing they could all be killed in an instant. They didn’t answer, this made Satan even angrier as he spoke louder this time, his red eyes glowing this time.

“Hurry and answer before I kill you all and consume your souls!”
The first demon spoke with a safe answer with a nervous tone in his voice.
“No one my lord.”
After that, the second demon spoke somewhat agreeing with the first one.
“He’s right my lord you are the best.”
The third demon hesitated before answering.
“M-my father Yami.”
The other two demons thought the third demon was a fool for saying, someone other than Satan was more powerful.
Satan nodded his head as he spoke again. He spoke calmly and even smiled.
“Thank you for all your input. I thank you all, but I hate fake people. Now die.”
Satan’s eyes glowed red as he spoke, his demeanor quickly switched back to evilness. He quickly dashed over to the first two demons. He quickly took care of them and in a millisecond, he cut off the first two demons' heads. Their heads flew off hitting the floor, blood splattered around the surrounding area making the whole room covered in blood. Satan’s lower body was also covered in blood, some of the splattered blood had landed on the third demon’s face causing him to breathe heavier.
The third demon started to breathe heavily because he thought he was about to die next. Satan stood over him menacingly, the third demon awaited and accepted his fate he thought he was going to die. But instead, Satan grabbed The Third Demon’s hand and spoke.
“Stand up young man.”
The Third Demon looked at Satan confusingly as he asked a question.
“Y-You’re not gonna kill me?”
Satan laughed, as he scratched the back of his head. He spoke with a calm but still devilish tone.
“No young one. The only reason I killed those two demons was that they were kissing my ass instead of telling me a real answer. You’re Yami’s kid, right? What’s your name?”
The third demon spoke, revealing his name in the process.
“Nigotta. Sir.”
Satan smirked.
“You’re a teen, I can tell you’re around 500 years old. Anyways, bring your father up here. I have business things I want to talk to him about.”
Nigotta nodded as he then looked around, he realized that he couldn’t reach the lower parts of heaven without dying. He looked at Satan with an awkward face.
“I can’t get back to the lower part of hell, I can’t go through flames or I’ll die.”
Satan sighed, as he forgot that demons under S Rank couldn’t go through the flames that he created. He maneuvered his hand toward Nigotta indicating for him to go to him.
“Oh Yeah, I forgot. Come here, I’ll teleport you. Give me your head.”
Nigotta walked over to Satan, and as soon as he did Satan put his hand on Nigotta’s head and spoke.
“Where do you live kid?”
“Hell York.”
Nigotta responded.
“Alright, I’ll send you on your wa-”
Nigotta then asked a question interrupting Satan.
“Wait, how is my dad supposed to get up here if the flames are surrounding it?”
Satan was going to get mad since Nigotta interrupted him, but once he asked that question it amused him. It made him laugh, he then began to answer the question with a deep and evil smirk on his face.
“Heh. If he’s as strong as I remember he was back then he should breakthrough here with no problem. Now goodbye, Nigotta.”
Satan said as he teleported Nigotta away to Hell York which was a popular demon city in hell. Satan walked back to his throne, he sat on it as he smirked, he couldn’t wait to see Yami once again. It had been over a thousand years since he saw him, they used to go to school together. Their fathers also used to be friends. Originally, Yami was supposed to be king, but he won due to Satan making a comeback in the last round of the tournament. He laid back in his chair. He relaxed as he thought of his son Taida.
“I’ll be seeing you soon Taida. Then I’ll get my revenge. I don’t believe it. No way you would associate with an angel, I’ll have to see it myself. In time my son.”

Blood Demon's Retirement
Civil War had raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor. This is not his story. The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. Thus she retired, and went and did exactly what she wanted. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace. Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy. Expect: -slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action -world building -detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then Do not expect: -romance, other than maybe some passing mentions -politics, again, barring passing mentions Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. ---------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road and Scribblehub websites. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know. Also please don't be too hard on me when I make occasional grammatical mistakes, English is my third language after all. XD Edit suggestions are very welcome though. Discord

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.
