*back to Dorians POV*
Well its been two weeks since we've been taking care and watching over Julian. So far there have been no more attacks, though i have been wondering why Julian doesnt have any bodyguards besides us. Not even any spec ops from the Empire. I asked the others about this and they told me,
Dag:"Its because his father is using all his resources to fight the war. He didnt want to devote any guards to his sons well being. If one of them dies, the next person in line will have the throne, he doesnt care."
Dorian:"Julian i have no idea how you can defend your dad, he sounds like one of the biggest pieces of shit mankind has to offer. -1 Faith in humanity man."
Julian:"Well besides that, i really just wanted to go to school normally, thats why i have you guys as guards. The only people who would attack are agents of my brothers and the warmongerers of Eternia."
Dorian:"Thats still not a good excuse though. If anything, that makes matters worse on the subject."
Thia:"Im gonna have to agree with Dorian on that Julian. Huh... Dorian and Julian, your names are very similar."
Dorian:"Youre getting a bit off subject there Thia. Its like you had a blond moment."
Julian:"Whats that supposed to mean?" Oh great, here comes the butthurt.
Dorian:"Where i come from, its a joking stereotype, that blonds are dumb. That they are scatterbrained and dont think things through. From what ive seen of this world however, the stereotype seems to have been carried over."That got a few chuckles from the others.
Julian:"Well we have a stereotype that people with black hair are cursed to be impotent."
Lilith:"Hes cursed, but its definately not impotence i can tell you."
Dorian:"You sure you didnt mean impertinant. You know, always being an ass and contradicting others. Having no care for social station. Cause thats how i am." Fuck the Caste system.
Dag:"Yeah that definately is how you are."
Lilith:"Your personality is like a breath of fresh air."
Julian:"More like a breath of pestilence."

Dorian:"You really shouldnt talk about yourself like that Julian. You just need to brush your teeth more." And que the rimshot.
*Badum tist*
There ya go.
Dag:"We should get going guys, the opening ceremony starts in an hour and we still need to pick our class subjects. Speaking of class, still cant figure yours out Dorian?"
Dorian:"Well its not like im gonna have some sort of Divine revelation. Well... maybe. I still have no idea. Whenever i go to my class description, i see nothing but question marks."
Lilith:"Dont joke about divine revelations Dorian. The Gods could be paying attention and choose to screw you over."
Dorian:"Are you telling me that i havnt already been screwed? Well thats news to me."
Lilith:"You know what i mean."
Dorian:"Yes love, i know. Lets get going you guys. Im eager to make my decision on my school classes."
We then head over to the academy, and i must say, talk about grandiose. How i didnt see it from far away i have no idea.
The Academy seems to have been built around one of the biggest mountains ive ever seen, maybe even bigger than Mt. Everest. And Everest is a good couple of thousands of feet tall. It is the largest mountain on earth so i guess thats a bit of an understatement. You know what i mean however.
The Academy seems to be built like a layered wedding cake, with the most amount of buildings at the bottom and eventually thinning out to a tower at the top.
Sorta reminds me of True Cross Academy from Blue Exorcist. Damn good show. But if i have Mephisto as the principal, im gonna just walk away. I dont want to deal with that shit.
Lilith:"You will stay and deal with it Dorian. Though you dont have to worry about him being the Principle. The Demon Prince Mephisto is currently on the front lines."
Dorian:"Well who is the Principle, no one tells me anything."
Thia:"Thats because you never ask anything."
Dorian:"Touchè"
Dag:"The principle is Lucifer Morningstar, the Leader of the Fallen."
You are shitting me. Satan will be my principle.

Dorian:"Lilith, after this, we are having a nice long conversation on the gods and pantheons of this world."
Lilith:*sighs*"Fine~" Dont you 'fine' me missy.
She just rolled her eyes.
I now know why my mom would get angry when i did that.
We then head to the administration building to pick our classes.
After about forty-five minutes, i finally decided on the six classes i would be having.
I decided on Magitech Crafting, Political Knowhows, Military tactics, Magecraft, Physical Combat Education, and Smithing for Amatuers.
I tell the others so and they tell me which classes id be having with them.
Id be having none of them with me in Magitech and Smithing. While id have Lilith, Thia, and Julian with me in Magecraft class, basically learning new spells and maybe even making our own. Everyone will be with me in PCE and Military Tactics class. While finally id only have Julian with me in Political Knowhows class.
Ive always wanted to make things like weapons and armor. Its one of the few things that have stayed consistant with my dreams throughout my life.
Too bad there is no, being stealthy and stabbing the shit out of your enemies or stealing from them, class.
Lilith:"We have five minutes to find our seats for the Opening ceremony, lets go."
We quickly run to the Auditorium building and barely get there with two minutes to spare. We find some seats in the back and wait for the upcoming speech.
About a minute later, the lights dim and a spotlight shines on the stage.
A tall man good looking man with white skin, silver hair, and black eyes comes out from behind the curtains. He is wearing some scaled armor and has a Morningstar on his belt. He smiles and black wings that are smoking with fire appear and flap once, causing smoke to go around the room, completely putting out the lights besides the spotlight.
Lucifer:"Good afternoon children. My name is Lucifer Morningstar and i will be your principle for the duration of your stay here at the Academy. First in, I will be laying down some ground rules, trust me theyre necessary."
Everyone starts mumbling to themselves at the predatory gleam in the principles eyes.
Lucifer:"First rule, no killing. You can badly injure or cripple someone you hate, but any killing, and youre out of the academy. The victims family will have free reign on your punishment, and if they have no family or sponsor, i will decide on your punishment."He then leans foreward looking what seems to be all of us in the eyes and says,"You dont want me deciding your punishment. Rule two, you have no political power here. I dont give a fuck who your parents or sponsors are, they have no power here, this is MY academy. So get that shit out of your heads that youre better than someone else just because youre royalty. There will be no punishment to the offender because you get put in place by the person that you thought you were better than. Rule three, treat others with respect, me and your teachers especially. This rule is for your safety, you dont know if the person you are disrespecting can beat your ass to a pulp."
I like these rules.
Lucifer:"Finally, have fun and learn. This is a school, schools are for making friends and learning usefull skills. I dont want to hear that any of your are wasting this chance you have been given. Now i hope you all enjoy your stay. Tomorrow, you will be having your first classes." With that, the smoke that is around the room, pulls inward towards Lucifer bringing the lights back on, and he disapears when the smoke finally clears up.
I then hear his voice next to my ear and he says,
Lucifer:"Meet me in my office in the Tower, i have the answers you seek."
Great, im gonna be meeting with the devil himself, next thing you know, i'll be making deals on his behalf.
Lucifer:'If you want to. Ill reward you properly as well.'
Great, the longer i go on, the more i think Attons Mind Wall is useless.
Lilith:"Its not useless Dorian, to even talk in your mind takes a lot of my focus. Lucifer is just stronger than the Mind wall."
Thanks for the reassurance.

When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Meg The Heavenly Merchant
Updates once a week.(This is a rough draft) Author's Note: This story has grown in ways I did not predict and while it still features a merchant those aspects have gotten less page time than the fighting and romance elements. I have updated the description to represent the story better) For the past fourteen years Meg has dedicated herself to walking the path of a Heavenly Dragon Knight in her favorite videogame, Tattered Realms:Chaos Age. But now the game is shutting down and everyone wants to know what she plans to do for the sequel. Meg isn't sure at first. She knows only that she yearns for the days when she could lose herself in a game without worrying about boss strategies and crushing her rivals. And when her friend suggests playing a merchant her heart is filled with the same wanderlust and inspiration that launched her gaming career in the first place. But if she isn't dominating dungeons and setting records will people still watch her play? And can she really walk away from all the fighting for a quiet life of buying and selling?

Limits
Have you ever considered, what is a Limit? Well, I have. I’ve seen people who were as strong, as wild animals. Those that were faster than the wind. Some that shined with intellect. Yet, what are the Limits of mankind’s strength, or intelligence? No one seems to know. We develop more and more, seemingly without an end. What if, someone was the smartest in the world? Would that suggest the Limit? What if, someone was the strongest in the world? Would that be the Limit? Would that make that someone, more than a Human? These are just questions, but what if I saw people reach their Limits? What if I know what happens, when you break the Limits? What if I were to tell you about it, would you believe me? (This novel is no longer published on royal road. If you wish to read more than 1st volume, head to webnovel. That is all)
