《An Ancient's Leisure》Chapter 47
Advertisement
Johnny was walking through the city alone. His old illness was acting up and he didn't want to be around anyone he cared about.
Johnny continues to walk, a lasting grimace on his face as his evil thoughts resurfaced. Everything's too damn clean. The damn yang energy continues to build up! What am I, the sun!? What the fuck am I going to do with all these good things!? He exclaims in his mind before taking a deep breath. I have to sin. I need something dirty. He thinks before walking to the red light district.

Johnny frowns. “What? How old are you?” He asks, displeased.
“18, master. Why? Am I not pleasing to the eye?” The lady asks as she caresses Johnny’s chest.
Johnny lets out a sigh. “No. It’s fine.” He says. “It would just have been better if your breasts were still developing.” He says honestly.
The lady’s eyes widen and she stands up. She gives Johnny a disgusted look. “You’re fucking disgusting. I’m not serving you. I’ve served trash before, but you’re worse than sewer trash.” She says before leaving.
Johnny lets out another sigh and rubs his head. Fuck. I think I’m getting worse. He says. Urgently attempting to suppress himself, he picks up the glass pipe and begins to heat up the purple crystals before inhaling.
Johnny lets out a sigh of relief, exhaling a cloud of smoke. That’s a little better… He thinks before his mind begins to wander. Should I rape a princess? He wonders before shaking his head. No. I’m going too far. I just need… I just need to get as fucked up as possible… He thinks before continuing to heat the pipe.
…

“Johnny. Johnny!” Lucy says as she shakes Johnny’s shoulders.

Johnny’s eyes open and he rubs his head. It felt like someone had drilled a hole into it. “Ughhh.” Johnny says as he looks around. “Where am I?” He asks himself.
Lucy lets out a bitter smile. “Johnny, you passed out on the streets. Come on. Let’s get back to the inn.” She says as she lifts Johnny up, holding him as they walk forward.
Lucy shakes her head. Over the years, as she got to know Johnny more and more, their relationship slowly faded. It wasn't because Lucy’s feelings faded; instead, it was because they began to grow steadily. Lucy had always aimed to be strong and independent, thus she found it weird. Why was she relying so much on Johnny? So, she got scared and distanced herself. Then, she began to notice it. There was a weird energy around Johnny… It sort of… pulled people in…
Lucy wondered what it could be and did a few tests secretly. She found out, Johnny really did pull things towards him. For everything around him, there was a sort of attraction, even the world’s energy was pulled in. Lucy had no idea what it was, but the thought of what it could be scared her. It was like… Like there was some deep and terrible void inside Johnny… Something that the world urgently wished to fill… As for why, Lucy had no idea.
“I, I’m fine.” Johnny says as he stands and walks on his own.
Lucy lets out a sigh. What was he doing last night? Lucy asks herself. “Johnny, are you a good person?” She asks, unable to hold it in.
Johnny lets out a laugh and looks at Lucy. “Are you serious? Why are you asking that?” He asks.
Lucy frowns. “Just answer it honestly.” She says, determined to hear an answer.

Johnny lets out a bitter smile. “Lucy… I’m beyond good and evil. I’m the love and hate between these two things, the part of them that wishes they were the other.” He says.
Lucy’s raises an eyebrow. “What does that mean?” She asks.
Johnny shakes his head. “But if you were to ask it differently… From a mortal’s perspective am I good or evil?” He says before letting a chuckle and looking at Lucy. “From a mortal’s perspective, Lucy, I am the devil.” He says honestly.
Lucy’s eyes widen.
Then, Johnny's stomach became queasy and he pukes on the side of the road.
Lucy lets out a bitter smile. If only we were all so lucky... To have such a helpless devil... She thinks, somewhat amused.

Mages Are Too OP
As one of the first players to gain access to World of Falan—the first immersive game worldwide—Roland creates his character as a Mage. However, playing as a Mage is not as fun and easy as he thought. His head even explodes after he casts the very first spell in the game. Stubbornly sticking to his class when most Mages decide to create a new character, Roland gradually discovers tricks of the trade and his unusual talent. This allows him to change people’s stereotypes on Mages and to explore the deeply-buried secrets of this game…
8 1327The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.

A reimagining of history and the world through the point of view of the Devil. The Devil will be based of what I've learned and read about the Devil not going along with a single religion's view on the Devil. The chapters will be around 1000 words, and I will post most days of the week. Please leave a comment to let me know what you like or dislike and how I can improve or how you would like the story to progress.
