《The Making of a God Slayer》Side Story: Queen of Thorns is Scared

(Lilulana, Queen of Thorns's POV)
I move my hand, making various spikes grow from inside the man. I looked around. I'm standing in an alley, in the middle of the slums of this city, the port city that is closest to the demons. I raised my hand and touched my horns, that grow from my purple hair.
I sight. I came here intending to go to the demon's city, but no ship goes there. I really want to go there... even though I have horns, I don't know if I am a demon. My mother, a vampire, said that I would find my answers here. These were her last words before she died.
So, I began my ten years journey from my pacific clan to this place, crossing from my original continent to this one. And now, I can't go foward because of this damn humans. I gazed at the corpse of the man that I just killed. A common bandit, tht tough that I would be a good sell to the slave traders.
Of course, althought I didn't concealed my purple hair, I did hid my horns, eyes and tail from the humans. Actually, I know my strenght level, and I'm sure that I'm above the first demon, Lucifer. Althought I don't know if I'm stronger then the actual demon king.
I hear someone coming on this direction... guards, eh? So someone with conscience saw this guy taking me in this alley. Well, let's get out from here before I'm seen. I jump to the top of one of these buildings, and go jumping until I land in the top of a tower in the middle of the city. From here, I can see everything.
I look at this city for some time. I was born around 300 years ago, in a clan of vampires. My mother was part of the nobility until the day that I was born. Althought she was despised because I was a half vampire, and got sick when I was born, dieing slowly over these years, she was the strongest vampire.

Probably, she was the only one that I couldn't beat in my entire life. The only one, I'm sure that I can kick the ass of some ancient dragons out there. As I was chilling on the roof, I felt someone gazing at me, So I looked back at that gaze. I could clearly feel that someone was looking straight to my eyes.
Fufufu~, isn't this one quite a bold one? I really hate when someone spies on me. I don't know who my father is, or what he is, but he gave me an strong illusionary eye power, as well a great control over my bloodlust. I'm proud that I can make a demon piss it's pants just by looking at me.
This direction... is this coming from the demon continent? It's pretty far... Even if I strenghten my eyes I can't see the shores of that place. I direct half of my bloodlust. You should feel honored, I almost never use half of my bloodlust, never found an oponnent able to sustain it.
I was too late to notice my mistake. A strong pressure hit's me, and I feel as if I am an ant being stared by a giant dragon. This... is much stronger then the bloodlust that I'm able to release! Bloodlust raises as you kill, and by bloodlust you can see if your enemy is actually stronger then you.
This strenght... this pressure... This being certainly is strong enought to destroy a whole race by himself... I would believe if someone told me if it has killed the entire dragon race in one attack! I lose my balance and almost fall from the tower that I'm standing on.
As I get terrified, the pressure stops, and I feel the gaze moving away as if it has lost it's interest. Only then I notice that I was holding my breath. What the hell was that... even against my mother I never felt this kind of pressure... It almost felt like gravity magic.

...
I have to find this being, no metter what. Even if it's extremely dangerous, I need answers, and if there's something that can look from that continent to this one and focus on me like this, it must be absurdly strong... I at least expect that it can hear what I have to say before killing me...
Onwards, to the demon continent!

8 121The fallen (?) hero and Aži Dahāka's soul fragment
I have to apologize.A certain real life problem that I thought I got rid of has caught up to me once again.I tried to continue writing, but my mind was not in the right track to do so and thus, as some people had said, the quality of the latest 2 chapters had turned from the usual "bad" to "worst". So, I reluctantly have to say that I will be away until I can sort things out.I can't say when, but I do intend to return to writing. I might lurk around to read other people's works though. I will be turning my attention to stories with "tragedy" and "despair". The five of us were summoned to this world from our clubroom two years ago to be made as heroes.Shouldn't forceful summoning like that be counted as kidnapping?Well, we chose to go with the heroes route.After harsh training and battles, not to mention all the killings, we finally defeated the demon lord.However, all those achievements literally became nothing, it wasn't just forgotten, it was erased to be totally nothing as even the written records were somehow being disposed of. I was too naive. Who would have thought that the side we have been fighting alongside with, the side we were fighting for, was the one to bring our demise?After I had to see everyone else turn into nothingness, somehow... I alone survived. Note: I will attempt to fix the grammar problem with the help of lieutenant colonel fletterman. This may delay the release of future chapter. Chapter 1 is fixed. Chapter 2 is fixed.
8 136The Kind Devil
Five veteran players of the old-fashioned but outdated VRMMO game, Orge's Bone, meet in the game for one last time before leaving forever. As real life friends, they were torn apart by certain matters, and now decided to say goodbye in the way they know best; a free for all battle royale. However, little do they know that fate has a twist to spin. As they fight it out in a folorn map, they stumble upon a secret teleport gate. Out of curioisity, they all enter it. They find a world more graphicly advanced than the current number one game, and NPCs that really don't act like they should. The game settings are similar to Orge's Bone; there are no levels, only physical strenght gains, which is gained by killing monsters and completing quests. They treat the hidden world as their greenhouse– a place to retreat when the real world treats them unfairly. But after a while, they discover no everything is as it seems– that the hidden world is far more dangerous. Michael is a cultivator whose goal in life is to change the tragic martial world, where killing is like breathing, into a land of peace. It will center a lot around how he'll change the perspectives of those around him, and how he tries to draft more cultivators to his cause, starting with the toughest nut to crack, the ruthless, bloodthirsty and easily-triggered Rector. Last but not least, with how he is met by the greatest tragedy and is forced to make the hardest choice.
