《Lazy Ash》65. Engagement, Three, and Someone really hates me.
Advertisement
Gonna be a bit of a note here so yea.
First off kudos to Demonicangel as the only new reader not only to have not pissed me off but actually took up my challenge I set up a long time ago. So when I get the chance next first thing I am going to do is do a full edit/rewrite of the first two chapters. Remember they will be done to the best of my ability so there may still be problems. Note not all new readers pis me off just most.
Next you grammer nazis! (JK) I changed patriarch to matriarch but in my defense I was writing while a cop was explaining to me how my friend thought racing trains was a good idea.
Now as to why I am able to write today. There answer is I am sick and took the day off. I took yesterday off as well but I needed to catch up on a lot of things. You guys aren't the only readers. My boss doesn't believe I am sick but I got a doctors note so fuck him.
Lastly I will be able to write regularly again in about 2-3 weeks. I checked all our orders and logs and we should be done with all the back orders and bulk orders very soon. It would be one week but my boss's little shit of a son decided to operate a machine he never operated alone and took out two doors and a wall. So yea that happened.
Anyway here's the next one!
--------------------------------------------------
"MOM!" I shout in horror and anger.
I am not a person who likes the concept of marriage. I have seen how the women absolutely dominate the relationship and I have enough trouble with that as it is. Also why the hell would I give someone half my shit just because we didn't work out?
Mom hurries into the living room and stops when she notices Cindy. Her eyes take on a dangerous glare.
"Ash. Why is she here?" Moms voice had the calm deadly edge that only women seem to be able to do right. Trust me I tried men cannot do it as well.
Before I can answer Solomon/Mega answers first.
"Ah you must be Mrs. Falls. I am Solomon Hill and you already know my daughter Cindy. As to why we are here your mother invited us to announce the engagement." He says casually.
"Engagement?" At moms reply I notice her hand has a knife in it.
Not wanting to see if it could take off Solomons head I rush forward and grab her hand hiding the knife in the shadows.

"Yes. Your mother approached me about an engagement between the Laverna Conglomerate and Hill industries. We have always been fierce competitors but now with our two family's joining together we will be unmatched." Solomon says.
Laverna Conglomerate? The fuck? That's a thing!? Just what the fuck is up with my family!? I moved closer to Cindy again but not before telling mom not to kill the worlds most beloved hero.
"Mom try not to kill the guy okay?" I whisper in her ear.
"Oh I wasn't going to kill him honey. I was thinking something along the lines off molten metal fish hooks and internal organs." She whispers back.
First hope he isn't using super hearing and second I may be more terrified of my mother now. Huh didn't think that was possible but there it is. I move over to Cindy to get more info.
"So is he serious?" I ask.
"Absolutely. Your family has been my fathers biggest rival and he wasn't going to pass up a chance like this." She replies.
"So your fine that your father is using you like this? Doesn't he dote on you or something?"
"Oh I have a say in this don't get me wrong. However to say no would greatly disappoint him and after mom... *Sigh* Lets just say due to my own reasons I can't say no yet." She finishes and gives me an apologetic look.
Yea no fuck that.
"Yea you see we are going to have a bit of a problem there and probably a show so sit back and enjoy-
"Solomon! How great of you to join us!" My grandmother walks in and is followed by Alita and Inari who look slightly more pissed than I left them. The fuck happened there?
"And you must be Cindy! You are absolutely stunning! You and Ash will make a great match!" She finishes.
"Did it just get colder in here?" Cindy asks.
I look at mom, Alita, Inari, Lesley, and Aunt Sophie before I reply. Their eyes showed the answer to that question. Ciar just sat on my shoulder and looked confused.
"Yes. Yes it did." I reply.
*Whistle*"Damn Ash three girls at once? All of the total tens too? You my cousin are a master and I bow to you." Roger says outloud.
You stupid stupid idiot.
A few death glares are passed his way. "Roger dear. It's best to keep quiet on some things otherwise your aunts may have to teach you a few lessons in place of your mother." Aunt Sophie says murderously with an innocent smile.

Roger pales visibly and knows he fucked up. Serves the ass right.
"Three?" Solomon says in surprise.
"Yea no its two man." I walk up and decide to end this before it starts. "Look your daughter is hot and all but I tend to go for the older girls. Plus we have a little bit of bad blood between us so it wouldn't work out anyway. Also see these two?" I point to the girls. "They are my dates. Whatever my grams promised you, you can forget because they are who I am with (plus another four girls but no need to makes things worse right?).
Alita and Inari were giving smug looks to my grandmother who had an ugly look on her face. The rest of my family ranged from Pride (Dad, brothers, and uncles) to we will see about that (the rest).
"Ciar I need ask something." I turn to her on my shoulder and ask her silently.
"What is it master?" she replies.
"If we need to bolt will you be able to shadow port me as well?"
"Master should just let me teach you it will be much faster."
"Ok how do you-ssssssssssssssssss." She put her paw on my neck and digs her claws in. Grandma shoots me a look and notices but all she does is raise and eye and turns back to the conversation.
After the initial pain I feel her paw leave my neck and after a few licks on the wound she speaks.
"There you go master. Now all you have to do is think of the knowledge and it should appear." She says.
I do as she says and holy shit it worked. Bitch'n I can shadow port!
"Hmm it seems you are the playboy type son." I hear Solomon speak and come out of my thoughts.
"But here is the thing this will stop while you are engaged to my daughter are we understood?"
"Uhhh did you miss what I said dude? I am with them not your daughter so-
"Oh please they look like gold digging whores you can't possibly like them that much. After spending some time with my daughter you will naturally know who you want to be with more." He says as he cuts me off.
Oh you just fucked up dude.
"What the hell did you just call us!?" Alita and Inari say in unison.
Solomon gives them a disgusted look. "Oh please like you girls have any feelings for him at all. You most likely found out he was rich and heard he has a thing for "older" women and decided to get your hooks into him. Besides what would he want wit a couple of used women when he has a chance for someone pure?"
I don't think I have seen someone so offended before and I live in the age where most Americans are sensitive little babies. I grab a bag of popcorn from my shadows this was going to be good.
Alita's hands light up and my father, Chris, Roger, Ann, and my brothers all pass out. Then Inari and Alita reveal their true forms.
Cindy lets out a gasp next to me. "You are dating a Angel and Kitsune!?" She exclaims.
I am just surprised they decided to show themselves but hey I got popcorn and this will give me time to think on how to deal with grams. A part of me wants her dead but I don't know if that will get rid of the spell on me. So I need to find a way around that first hmm maybe the Angel prison. I'll have to ask Alita after she kicks Mega's ass.
"Yep. You should know your dad is fucked right?"
She turns to me and shakes her head. "Not really dad recently leveled up."
"Come again?"
"30 years ago dad said he fought someone who use both kitsune and angel powers back in Chernobyl.
Nooooooooo.
He said he didn't stand a chance but was able to collect some of that persons blood. He went to a battle sight covered in black ice and managed to find some."
No. No. No.
"All these years he has been collecting super serums and finally managed to make something that allowed him to break his limits."
I turn to look at Solomon who is surprised but still has a smile on his face. His body morphs back into its jock like shape. Then a black mist shoots out of his body and turns into black wings. I feel my own strength drop considerably.
He didn't grab my blood. Somehow the stupid fuck got the blood of Abyss! I don't remember that fucker bleeding at all! And now hes got his powers too!
Someone really hates me.
-------------------------------
Side note this is what was supposed to be added to the end of last chap but you know. Also anyone as pissed off at the ening of rewrite as me!?

Aethernea
[Best Fantasy Story Winner at Wattpad Fiction Awards 2016] ? Adventure ? Mystery ? Humor ? Romance ? Systematic, almost scientific Magic ? Strategy in Fights ? Character Development Gallery | Wikia | Official Site | Patreon | Facebook | Twitter ————————————————————————————————————- Summary ————————————————————————————————————- In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment, Kiel is a "non-mage" - a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru - a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen. Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise. Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea - the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races? In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying. And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn't difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps. A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world. ————————————————————————————————————- What do readers say about it? ————————————————————————————————————- "Aethernea is my absolute favorite read on wattpad, I love it as much as I love Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments. You have such an amazing way to make the words flow and unbelievable descriptions. Unique characters and a great story line. All the small clues and mystery in the humor and fantasy just makes the book perfect in my opinion. I read all chapters in two days! Less than 48 hours even! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next update, the world of Aethernea is so deep and well thought out, it's beautiful and magical. God I can't believe how creative you are, so many small details with so many families and stories everywhere. Purely fantastical, I admire you." - astro-logical from Wattpad "I love love love Aethernea so much! It is amazing how you created this new world with different creatures, magics, looks, illnesses, and evil! I was blown away by your explanation of the Mana pools and how to weave magic! Simply stunning really! You are one of my favorite authors and Wattpad and I am so glad I stumbled upon Aethernea because it is worth all of my time reading!" - Adriana_V_Blade from Wattpad "I absolutely am loving Aethernea so far. I am certain you belong in the ranks among J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzane Collinings, and many more great and wonderful authors. You opened up a whole new world for me, which only a few great authors have accomplished. While it's true I am pulled into each and every book, few are able to capture me to the point of inescapability. Though, somehow, you have managed this feat. I thank you for this and more! You are a wonderful author and can't wait for more to come!" - daughterofpercabeth7 from Wattpad "WOW! just caught Aethernea in gravity tales! Just when I was getting tired of most xianxia novels this appears and completely blows my mind! I really like the depth and the humorous touch you give the characters and it seems you have the storyline well thought out since you are always hinting about things in the past and the future. It has been such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in just one day and laughing my way through most of the episodes. But what keeps me so excited for what's coming is the magic system and the professions of the world you are creating.The magic mechanics have such a huge potential! They are simple but at the same time they open so many possibilities. Even though we still only understand the basics of transmutation and augmentation, I expect them to enable fights where there is need of quick thinking and skill, and not just brainless overpower of every opponent. In a way this makes me reminiscent about The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson, which are one of my favorite series ever. The thing that sets Mistborn apart from any other series is that the mechanics are so well thought out that they could be used to create a super cool triple A video game and I cannot help but hope Aethernea reaches the same level or even surpass it. I really think it has that potential. Really hope this series gets the attention it deserves. As for me, Thursdays and Sundays just got a whole more exciting! =)" - AlexMLion "Your writing is fantastic and riveting, the chapters and character flow so smooth, and it captivates the reader with the many twist and turns that tricks one mind into thinking this is about to happen, when suddenly the exact opposite happens. You truly are in inspirational writer with a brilliant mind that can see and put words into chapters and into this one truly awesome book. Thank you!" - AshleyStaar from Wattpad "I loved this story, such detailed description and accurate words, both Kiel and Elaru completely caught my attention, your writing style is just beautiful and the plot is astounding and it's just the first episode! This kind of fantasy stories are my favourite, it has a lot of magic in it, rivalry and sense of humour." - BlackWhiteD from Wattpad

Braza the Architect - Magical Crafter, Builder, and Adventurer!
This is the story of an older man who lived a hard but full life, being reincarnated into a fantasy world as a human-lizard hybrid. The new world is violent, magic is real, a game-like development system crushes physics and natural law under its ambivalent thumb, and myth and legend don't just meet, they chase you down to eat you.Follow Braza as he tries to make a very different life for himself in a familiar but ultimately alien world. In this story the protaginist will not just be a muscle bound monster. He is not a proper hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the good of a stranger, but neither is he a maniacal villain. He is trying to survive, and he is trying to give himself and those he deems himself responsible for a seat at the table of the"goodly", the "civilized" races. He is trying to create a secure home for his people, to arrange beneficial trade agreements, explore ancient ruins, decipher ancient runes, push the boundaries of magic to create a better life for everyone around him, to learn about the history of the world and the multiverse, and ultimately attempt to become powerful enough to take on a being that even the gods themselves fear. This is my first story and it blends many different elements and styles. It's a bit darker than most of what I have read on Royal Road, but even with that, I hope you give it a try, and I hope you like it!

Tentatively Slime
In a land born straight out of fantasy, where endless plains of flowers paint a rainbow canvas across the land, and winged behemoths make their homes in lakes of cold fire. Beings capable of crushing mountains with their monstrous might, creatures that breathe fire and magic and death all at once. In this land, our story begins. Hello dear readers. Long have I been a voracious book gobbler and tonight I thought I'd try my hand. However I crave acknowledgement so please leave a review, all criticism is welcome. If my meagre offerings are accepted by the book gods, (and to a lesser extent, this community) I shall endeavor to persevere with my writing, though this was done on a whim. Probably will be edited at some point, perhaps blue box chan will make an appearance. Typos are likely, please point them out if you see any. And now that you have been captivated by my enchanting synopsis, please enjoy.

Dragon Travels
Dragons. Mythical creatures that inspire awe and wonder in cultures all across the world. Wouldn't it be amazing to befriend such majestic beasts and go on an adventure with them? To be a dragon rider and live through a tale of epic proportions? Ryder, who's so obsessed with the idea that he nicknamed himself as such, certainly thinks so. Sadly, he lived in a world where such creatures only exist in fiction, and one where none of his peers or family shared the same passionate interest in dragons like him. Every night, he would fantasize what it would be like to live in a world where they do exist, and one day, his fantasy became reality. Upon landing in a new world, he found himself in the company of cheery and naïve plant dragon who was just as excited as him to be the companion of a dragon rider. After that, they encountered a worldly earth dragon, who followed them under the guise of guiding them while hiding her own dark secrets. Lastly, regarded by many as The Terror of The East, a dragon so powerful and terrifying that it's known as a demigod, lowered his pride in order to escape his thousand-year prison and joined Ryder's merry band. It isn't all fun and games as the Goddess who brought the teenager here has sent him on a mission - to rid the evil forces that had risen in the world and threaten the balance of the realm. Together with his three dragon companions, Ryder traveled across different lands as he found himself involved in the matters of both tragic and entertainingly eccentric individuals. So, if you like How to Train Your Dragon or just dragons in general, isekai adventure stories, and/or a found family-esque story with witty banters and interesting characters, then this is what you're looking for! Note: This is an anthology series, therefore the arcs are not presented in a linear fashion. There will be recurring characters and arcs that continues story threads from previous "chapters", but, for the most part, each arc standalone as a complete story, so you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series before, it's basically like that.I'm still relatively new in writing, so I would appreciate it if you'll be kind enough to provide feedback!
