Chapter 46
POV Hejinmal, the fat Frost Dragon
Me: Of course! Please just continue to ride on me. I will lead you to my family, I am sure they would love to have your queens as the new rulers!
Spade: You think so?
This man was seriously scary! Who was he? The moment he threatened my life I lost control of my bladder and I pissed right in front of him…my pride as a Frost Dragon is now over! What if no one wants to be my girlfriend anymore?
As I flew him over the castle and into the main room, I saw father and his wives on top of the pile of treasure.
Olasird: What is the meaning of this Hejinmal? Why did you bring a human on your back.
Oh shit… should I betray Spade? No! No…then he will kill me as well. I might not be fit but I have my instincts and just being next to this man is telling my entire being to run.
Help came from an unexpected place.
Spade: Hey, you shouldn’t be too harsh on your son The reason he has me on his back also happens to be the reason why I haven’t killed him and decided to talk to all of you first. You should be grateful.
Olasird: You inferior being!! I’ll turn you into ice—-wait, what is that bead necklace you are wearing?
I knew it. Father always had a good eye for expensive things. I had a sense it was worth more than it looks but apparently it really was.
Spade: A recreated work of something I valued. Now it’s more than just a bead necklace.
Olasird: Is it? Well then hand it over and beg for your life. Maybe then I will spare you.
Father! no! Can’t you feel the difference in power? This was on an entirely different level from all the other humans!

Spade: I’ll make a deal. Swear loyalty to me and my queens and I’ll spare your lives. Also, who’s this guy’s mother. I want to make sure beforehand.
Nobody moved.
Spade: Hey fatty! I’m telling you, who’s your mother?
With a shaky wing, I pointed at the second wife of my father.
Spade: All right, I’ll make sure not to kill you then.
Olasird: How dare you mock me! I’ll kill—
Spade: Primordial Fire
There was a moment of silence and then…
*Crackle!!!* *Crackle!!!*
The room burned blue as blue fire erupted from his hand and engulfed father entirely.
Olasird: AAAARRRGHHH!!!
Spade: I’m not really smart so I thought Frost Dragons were made of Ice. Seems like you are just ice attributed. That would explain your charred scales
As father dropped down dead, I sensed a cold sense of dread down my dragon spine. If I had not submitted to him…then I would have ended up with the same fate, wouldn’t I?
Spade: Now now, don’t even think about escaping and bring all the Dragons here. If you try to run I’ll kill you before you can even scream. Except you Hejinmal, you’re staying with me.
That was all it took. The three wives took off flying all over the castle to call our family to the main room.
Spade: yeah, uh huh, please open a gate for me at my location. You should be able to cast it now. Ok, thank you.
Right afterwards, a black swirling gate opened up and a few people came out of it. They dragged my father’s corpse through the portal before disappearing again.
Spade: *sigh* looks like the rest of your family are here. Better wrap up quickly.
POV Pe Riyuro
*aaarggggghhh!*
*nooooo!*
*CRASH!!!! *
No…no…this can’t be happening.
They were dying. They were all dying. Every single one of our soldiers without exception was being blown to dust by that guy with the sword. each casual stroke must be killing at least dozens of us and injuring much more.

When our soldiers ran towards him…
*tap* *drip* *drip*
He made them into blood rain. Blood, broken bones, pieces of skin and gore was flying over the troops standing behind the ones in the front, making the scene so much more surreal. Despite this…Mihawk didn’t even get a speck of blood on his clothes.
How did such power like this exist? I was a fool not to accept the deal…at least our people would have had a hope to live but…20,000? How long would it be before we can build our numbers and strength again? How could this be…
Clan Leader: My Lords…
Me: SILENCE!!…just leave me be… pick out 20,000 of our people. They will spare them.
I had given up. There was no point in this. As our men continued to march towards their death, the swordsman was causally swinging his blade with a single hand…looking bored! BORED! When he is literally slaughtering a race to near extinction.
Enough. Whether he hears it or not, I surrender. I will accept whatever way they will allow us to survive. After all, what way was there when you were faced off against a literal god?
POV Zesshi
Black Monarch: The Elf King has gathered up his remaining troops and is headed to Kami Miyako.
Is it finally time?
Me: Does that mean…
Black Monarch: Yes. Go forth with one of the Warlords and bring back victory. He will help you along the way.
Finally…I can have my revenge against my father and the Theocracy.

8 387Ancient Bones: The Changed Ones book 1 (Post-Post Apocalypse LitRPG)
Is it truly an RPG Apocalypse... if no one can see the RPG? Generations after the Fall, Mankind has achieved a balance in a world it is no longer the master of. But your prospects in this Malthusian world are limited. Johanna Milton and her friends have an answer: delve into Ancient ruins, avoid Changed beasts and mana pockets, and salvage Ancient materials, collectibles, and trinkets to sell. It pays well if you avoid the perils of the Ancient world. But when they find the skeleton of an Ancient, their lives take a strange turn. Suddenly, Talents straight out of fantasy novels become theirs. While they try to make sense of what happens, eyes turn to them, to the four who seem to break all rules. Or are they merely following them? Because, in the Beyond where he's spent 150 years waiting, one dead Ancient knows the truth. Douglas Moore has played those games often enough when he was alive to make sense of the System that rules the Changed world. He can no longer act on his own, but he has access to the Interface. And four people for which he can bring whatever it takes to face the world. Change is coming. The Changed Ones is a slow-burn litrpg fantasy trilogy (Ancient Bones, Ancient Books, Ancient Bonds) set on Earth, 150 years after the RPG Apocalypse... which mostly failed. It is an homage to the venerable ancient RPGs of the Golden Box era, the Baldur's Gates, and many others, offering adventure where You must gather your party before venturing forth. Keywords: LitRPG, realistic setting, low-leveling, post-post-apocalypse, fantasy earth, slow-burn, secondary POVs, female primary MC, team adventure, worldbuilding. Trigger warnings: casual swearing, adult innuendo (no explicit scenes whatsoever, though). Oh, and potentially a bit of politics. Bonus content: a Litrpg Easter Egg hunt. With lots of eggs across the book, some easy, some hard to find. Current score: 6/20 (20 eggs, 6 found) Publication schedule: on hold until September for book 2.
8 243Deadlier of the Species - Book 2 of Descendants of a Dead Earth
(The second book in the Descendants of a Dead Earth series, taking place immediately after the events of A Tinker's Damn, which can be found here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/30309/a-tinkers-damn-book-1-of-descendants-of-a-dead) Deadlier of the Species turns its attention to Samara, of the Protean Clan. Recruited and trained by the clandestine Wetworks organization, Samara has left a long and bloody trail of bodies in her wake. But natural born killers are rare, rather they are created, molded by powerful entities to do their bidding in a shadow war where there are no borders, and everything comes with a price...including your soul. But now that she has been freed from her chains, Samara has a few old scores of her own to settle...and perhaps a new cause to fight for as well.

8 152Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
8 144Another Me? COMPLETE/EDITING [Book 1 of Mangle series]
After Mangle wakes up as a new animatronic, she quickly realizes they are replacements. As the withers and the Toys are trying to get along, Mangle gets lonely as the kids had pulled her apart and no one talks to her...I looked at Marionette who looked at me curiously. "Ugh...who have you got there?" He asked. I chuckled and switched on an on switch on the back of the animatronics back. Marionette stared expressionless. "Fu-Funtime Foxy?"
