Who is next?
Riddick retracted his killing intent and returned to his place. The remaining lackeys had now understood his strength and his strength so they no longer dared to anger him again.
Time passed by and Riddick returned to his previous state of calmness, he was now wholly in meditative state when suddenly a voice rang out near him
"You are quite strong my friend. What is your name? I know every disciple who have come here to compete in Great trail but I have never seen you before. Which sect do you belong to? Ahh! I forgot to introduce my self. How rude can I get?
My name is Nile, nice to meet you. Hehe... You don't have to get angry, I am a friend."
Nile was quite friendly and his body language made everyone feel at ease. He had a pleasant smile plastered on his face and his words were refined. All of this gave people a very favourable impression.
However, Riddick narrowed his eyes as he saw Nile because he felt that something was wrong. The outer impression given by Nile was perfect but he felt a nasty intent underneath it. A intent he is all the more familiar with, "Killing intent."
Riddick smiled coldly in his heart as he saw Nile hiding his killing intent behind his friendly smile. It was useless to hide something like killing intent in front of Riddick because he can detect it almost instinctively.
Having suffered under the assault of the most terrifying killing intent for severally months in his own soul fragment. He now understood the word known as Killing intent much better than any immoral.
Usually when one is exposed to a kind of sensation repeatedly, they gradually starts to grow numb to it. But, killing intent was different. It makes you feel that you are on the verge of death so your body grows more and more sensitive to it.
Nile who was cheerfully laughing suddenly moved and a sharp sword appeared in his hands. In the next instant he stomped his legs and made a chopping motion aimed straight at Riddick.

"Humph!" Riddick let out a cold snort as he saw the chopping sword, ever since he had sensed killing intent, he had been at high alert so it was impossible to catch him off guard.
"Twist" Riddick roared and Yama who was twisted around his hand sprang like a snake and twisted around the sword practically the same instant Nile started his slash.
"Fool! Fighting a sword with a whip in closequarters. You death will teach you a lesson."
Riddick eyes only gleamed slightly as he said, "Change."
The black whip which was coiled around the sword suddenly became stiff and instantly started to twist like a python while crushing the sword to dust in the process. The whip which condensed to its grip amazingly took the form of the long sleek black sword.
The past month when Riddick trained in the Welkin palace has been the most productive month in his life as far as he was considered. In just a month he understood the change in his Qi and had also managed to grasp the technique he had gained by loosing his body to Cesar but the best among all his progress was the skill he learned after repeated instructions from Yama, "Shape manipulation ".
This was a skill which let him change Yama to a weapon of his choice. Shape manipulation is a trait present in many deva class weapons, then how could Yama, being a heavenly weapon not possess such a basic trait.
Nile stared at the sleek black sword with a small red jewel at its base in astonishment. He could not understand how the black whip changed into a sword. Though the shape manipulation isn't a rare thing in higher deva planes, in the material plane of Asgard. It was like a tale of legends.
Riddick who was nonchalantly swinging his sword said in a mocking tone, "You wanted to fight with a sword, right?"
Nile's face darkened then he smiled coldly and said, "I don't know from where you acquired such a treasure but today you will certainly die by my hands and that whip of yours will be mine."
Riddick snickered and said, "You want my weapon and you declare that you want to kill me. Don't regret you decision Nile."
"Enough talk, For a mortal like you one punch of mine is enough to shatter your bones and tear your tendons." Nile immediately tensed his muscles and charged like bull.
Riddick who was still swinging Yama threw him into the air and lowered his body while tensing his Rectus femoris muscle at same time. The pale yellow Qi in his dantian rolled like sea waves and a Qi Strom condensed in his hands as it passed through the meridian of his arm, "The brachial artery."
"Crunch!"
A loud crunching sound was heard as Riddick clasped his fist and punched Nile like a lightning.

"Boom!"
Loud explosion was heard and the dust flew like a cloud covering the two individuals. In the next instant however, a painful howl was heard as Nile limped his way out of the dust cloud. His entire right arm was split like butter and his body was covered with his own blood.
"Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!"
In the quite hall filled with no sounds except for the painful moans of Nile, the footsteps of Riddick sounded very loud.
He still walked as slowly as he can and reached Nile with his black sword in his hands. Nile became pale as he saw the black sword, he instinctively tried to fly away but the sword extended into a whip and held him by his neck.
Nile screamed as be couldn't budge the whip no matter how he tried, "Don't you dare kill me, I am a disciple of the Ling school. My head master has already signed the contract and is a part of the school alliance so you won't survive if you harm me."
Riddick laughed loudly and said, "Fuck your background. Why should I care about your Ling school when they can't come here to save you."
Riddick hand reached Nile like a death god and caught his head in a death grip. He was about to crush him when a voice interrupted him
"I would stop if I were you my friend. It seems that you know nothing about the alliance of the sects. All our masters had formed a pact that none of their students would be harmed outside the ring. Any one who dares to harm any student of any sect will be killed by the combined forces of all sects.
You have already breached the pact but I will give you face and let you go. Retreat this instant and let go of Nile."
Riddick frowned as he heard this, a pact to protect their students. His lips formed a cruel smile as he said, "Thank you for your advice my friend. I understand the issue now and I have decided on my answer as well.
I say, "Fuck your alliance."
Riddick tightened his hand over Nile's head and muttered, "Hell devour"
A simple two words which will one day create havoc around the entire world. Nile who was like a ragged doll suddenly became limp and his body dried up within a second and fell lifelessly on the floor.
Riddick who devoured Nile licked his lips as he thought, "So this is the sensation of devouring cultivation. Not bad, I fear that I would get addicted to this sensation."
Hell devour was a combined technique formed by launching both Thousand Hell prison and Soul devour at once. Thousand Hell prison had no devouring abilities while the soul devour had no restricting abilities. Individually they both had weaknesses bit combined they became a monstrous technique unrivalled in the path of devil's cultivation.
Every person who expected Riddick to back away roared in fury as they saw him ruthlessly killing Nile like a cockroach.
"Impudent!"
"Kill him!"
"Bastard!"
"For Nile."
Various roars reverberated in the hall as the disciples of various sects charged like mad people who went into a frenzy.
A tall man with large built charged first and jumped high before falling straight on Riddick.
Riddick who killed Nile smiled further and flickered Yama who was drenched in blood, the slender whip bulged like balloon and turned hard like steel. The hand grip transformed into hard steel and A hammer of death appeared in Riddick hands the instant the tall man jumped into the air.
"The next meal."
Riddick muttered as he constricted his leg muscles and swung the hammer like a blacksmith on anvil. The tall man was helpless as the speed of the hammer was far greater than his own speed, it was like a lightning in spite of its weight. The hammer came crashing like a thunder and smashed him to the floor.
Originally he had confidence that he would survive even after taking the attack of the hammer as he was an immortal while the opponent was a mortal. But, he far underestimated the strength of Riddick who had Yellow dragon Qi flowing through his veins.
The hammer was like a giant thunder and carried a force of a ton. It smashed the tall man so hard that he instantly became a pulp.
Another immortal who closely followed the tall man took this opportunity and directly slashed at Riddick with his short sword.
"Rip!"
A terrifying ripping sound resounded in the hall as the man's throat was ripped by a sharp spike. It was none other than Yama who extended himself and formed into a spike killing the immortal in a instant.
"Biiiiiing!"
A hollow sound rang out again as Riddick licked his lips, both the tall man and the other immortal became dried up corpses the next instant as the Hell devour was completed.
Gazing at the immortal who now had turned cautious as they saw the three corpses at his feet he opened his mouth and asked, "Who is next?"

Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
