《Hero? I'm assassin, but that's the same right?》Chapter 40. Ju-u-ust great...
Advertisement
Let's say that overall meeting with the demon lord was OK, Millis was given to demons and I secured the Garden, through very complex diplomatic... well I just had to ask nicely. Yep, nicely...
Anyway from the adventures throughout the demon continent two months passed, I met cute wyvern, killed it, got nice coat from it's hide. Killed some dude calling himself Demon God, though this time it was a deranged demon, not spirit. Met the Nekos on beast continent, and sang 'Nya-ha-ha and a barrel of fish' their own song with the motive 'Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum'. A lot of other minor stuff happened, but overall my vacation was rather fun. Now I am standing near the castle of... what was that again? Askonia, arkadia? Whatever kingdom it was, I stand here, proud and annoyed.
“YOU FUCKERS!!! I JUST CAME HERE AND YOU TELL ME TO GET LOST?!”
“Listen here peasant, you have no business in this castle. Get lost before-” I just snapped after it. The guard 1, who had a bad habit calling people 'peasant', got his face melted with quite strong poison. Oh right, in case someone wondering I got poison affinity few chapters before-
(Script Pyro...)
Fine, few months prior. Anyway, I started the massacre of those guards, when suddenly
“What's going on here?” King emerged.
“Hey gramps! Those idiots were disrespectful, so I punished them.”
“Who are you? Why are you attacking this place? Guards!”
“Ow, come on! Is that a way to greet the old pal? You summoned me and now try to get rid of me?” I put on my mask... over my mask. “You will perish.” Come on! I was what? Away for a few months? And now those idiots... “Come on! It's not like I killed those two trash-like beings? And where's the queen? I told that I will be back a bit later, no?”
“Kuro?” Finally that asshole remembered! “Why are you here? No, wait, what are you doing?”
“Oh, nothing much, I just came here to talk with other guys, I mean heroes. I have an info on demons, and rogue heroes.”
“Wait, rogue... you mean Elizabeth? What about my-”
“Ah, they're both dead, I guess at least. I doubt they survived my wrath if they were with zealots. Anyway that's not the reason, well part of it, but not the reason I came here.”
“Right... You should come with us.” My senses tell me this is a trap... well, I'll just kill them all if something happens... nope, better make a clone... and BIANCA!
I'm not talking to you! Meanie!
You just talked to me, no?
You! Do you know how it-
One more stunt like that, and I will place a petition to Kane, for new assistant!
Boo... meanie...
Yes, yes. Now Bianca, I need help. What the hell is wrong with this place?
Oh, it's simple. Most of the heroes died.

WHAT?! Wait, how do you know it? And What the hell?
There was a coup, and few of the heroes died while fighting.
Right... reason?
We didn't get it.
We? Who are we?
She means me, her, Golm and other minions, except Mr Peanuts. He ran off somewhere.
Oh, well he was with me. At least on one mission. Oh right, I should really make a body for Bianca. Other Me, you can create a clone for yourself, right?
Yes. But I won't be a decoy.
No, it's not what I meant... Anyway can you remotely control a clone that I'll make?
Yes, though it will be lagging a bit.
Lagging?
Up to a nanosecond, but still.
Oh, then it's OK. No really, nanosecond is rather a good response time. Oh and Bianca, is there anything to increase the power of my clones?
… There are few things I could find, one increases the amount of clones you can control, the other one amount of power they can wield, and another one allows changing their forms.
How much?
Here's the price list.
Clone Army
Passive. Costs 1 uncommon token
Ever wanted a family? Then this skill is for you, no annoying kids or spouses, you will get clones of yourself. Number of clones limited by the processing power of original.
High quality cloning techniques
Passive. Costs 1 rare token
Tired of your clones being weaklings? With this skill they'll still be weaklings, though five times stronger. Clone will have 25% of stats from the original.
Shapeshifting clones
Passive. Costs 1 uncommon token
Bored of your looks wherever you look? With this skill your clones will be able to mend their bodies. Now go and make the world a cuter place with all those not-so-Cat-girls.
Last one is offensive! I never liked to... oh wait, I really liked that one at one time... Fine I will take them all.
And... what's next?
Can't you guess? It's time for being a dick I always was! Infiltration time! Featuring brand new clones! Other me, will you be so kind?
No more than one at a time! Direct control of one is already-
Quit whining! And yes, only one, what would happen to this world if there were a hundred of me? I don't really want to imagine it.
You bet. Few more guys like you and it'll be frigging apocalypse.
… WAIT!!!
What?
If it's my clones, then... THEY WILL DRINK ALL KULPO!!!
You... that's the worst fear?
YES!!!
We're doing it or what?
Yes, yes, me good boy... wait, I mean yes, we're going to wreck this place!
What did you just wanted to say?
Nah, it's nothing. Now... where should I hide?
Hide in some dark corner, I bet everyone is blind here.
? Oh right, I have dark form. Let's go with that.
Magical darkness will save the world! Or doom it, who cares about some lousy world anyway? And 'I' walked behind the king. Har-har...
“Kuro, what is it?” and he addressed my clone.

“Hm... where are Ken and others?” And king got nervous... THAT BASTARD! I will gut him if he did something to my favorite show!
“They betrayed our kingdom.” Fuck... I think I will have to wrap it up faster. “They killed the queen and-”
“Wait a minute gramps, what happened to queen?”
“She was killed. They... they killed her.” I don't buy it. I somehow think that it's this moron who did it. “When she was-” and here is the sob story, and made rather OK for the 'despaired widow' or whatever males are called. Nah seriously, how did he get the idea heroes are behind it? Anyway with that story being told, we came upon the throne hall/room whatever it was called.
“-and that's why I ask you this. Kill the betrayers!”
“Nah, don't want to. It's politics, and I hate politics.” I sense mana... fluctations? Well there is something wrong with mana in this place... seems like... Array? “Hey, I have a question, is this some sort of trap?” and king looked at me rather... sternly?
“What are you-”
“So it's a trap. Care to explain?” and... my clone have gone poof!
“GAH!!! Bastards! What did they do to my clone?!”
Mana-blocking circle. It is made to trap magicians and block their ability to use mana.
“Well, that spells their fate. I will kill them all. Question is with what?”
You said it out loud!
Yes, I know. Oh right! I know what spell to use! Let them pray to their false gods for protection, but-
You meant corpse-god?
Whatever. I know just a spell in need of some testing.
… Is that the spell I think about?
Yep. Now let me prepare it. It'll have to charge for some time. Oh right,need to check for other heroes.
And so, the greatest hero ever walking this world... Decided to spy on the women's part of hot springs. That would be in canon, but what I'm going to do is not 'heroic' in anyway you look at it. Destroying city, even if it reeks with corruption, traitors and crime, is not the work for hero. Good thing no one will live to tell the tale.
Oh right, can we scan the place for other heroes?
Already done, and no heroes in the vicinity, at least living ones.
Then I can safely use it.
Just shout and be done with it.
Fine.
“I will crush them with the power of Love and... MAGIC NUKE!!!” Following my shout to the heaven, or better say space, I threw my hands towards the city and from them the ray of light emerged, and as soon as it contacted the castle, white light engulfed the city. Next was really loud explosion. Mushroom cloud was also there, but quickly dissipated. “Yay! It worked! Magical wave-pulse nuke is working!”
Seriously? I mean seriously? Why would you-
Magical orbital laser sounds better?
No, but-
I created this spell, I decide it's name. End of discussion.
Oh right, where was I? MWPN is working! And it obliterated the city! NICE!!! Though I wish there was something to fight me, before I obliterated that annoying place... “Damn! I forgot!”
What did you forget?
There was so much gold in treasury...
Um... I stole it.
Nice! And? Where it is?
In our inventory.
Oh, cool. Let it be there, OK? I don't really want to convert it.
Um... Pyro? You gotta see this.
What? Something the matter?
Heroes are Coming!
You, along with other creatures, were summoned to the other world in order to save it from evil demons.
Update: After learning of humans in this world, you decided to check are demons as bad as they are described by humans.
Update: After talk with demon lord, you offered the lands of human kingdom, which you previously destroyed.
Stop the war between Humans and Demons.
Possible routes: Denial, Death, Human Hero, Demon Hero, Destroyer, Peacemaker, *Hidden*.
Quest completed. Achieved:
Assassin of Kings and Gods: You killed the god of lies, and with that humans have no more excuses for waging wars against other races. Additionally you killed both kings of human countries on the continent.
Ally of justice: You gave back the land to demons, which humans stole from them millennium ago. You also killed the perpetrators.
Lone Hero: You resolved the conflict by yourself, either due to being a loner, or the death of other heroes, making you a legendary figure. All the heroes applaud you for your achievements, or recklessness.
Demon Hero: You decided to help the cause of demons.
Destroyer: You massacred whole country of humans and therefore the demons would have less casualties, unless their general is a moron. You also destroyed Another country's capital, lowering their morale to near zero.
Harem: You stud! You've done it! Too bad you can't take them with you.
Lucky Hero: Despite you doing whatever the heck you wanted, it all turned to be beneficial in some case or another. Your luck is just broken, so it will be nerfed.
NO!!! My stats are gonna be nerfed! BASTARDS!!!
Relax. Last one will be removed in the evaluation.
Oh right, what's with other heroes?
They were saved by Lilith, that half-demon girl, and brought to the demon continent to face trial. And no they won't die.
Also Ken somehow stumbled upon the arachnees, and now he has a queen in his harem. That lucky bastard!
That's... strange. Seems like I have some sort of ignorance luck, while Ken has something to do with opposite gender... so what's next?
Wait a bit. Oh and you'll lose almost all of your stats, except luck, Masteries will be of lower level, and everything else will be the same.
Wait, what?
And again with that white light? That's no fun at all!

Rotten Magic (Runic Expansion Book 1)
Nearly three hundred years ago, the wonderful city of Sogara-dai fell. Their immediate wealth crumbled as they suffered for their ignorance and cruelty, becoming cursed to be Flesh Hoarders--ones who must live by eating the flesh and magic of another individual. Once they were rejected by their brother and sister cities of their country of Vaikoln, they were excluded from the rest, hidden in the void--never to interact with the world again. Suddenly, they show in the progressing city of Yulin-dai to remind the world that they will never be forgotten. Elanya Shunra wants nothing more than to enjoy her summer studying her rare Moon Magic and leaving all the other students in the dust. When she and her best friends get trapped in a burning airport in the progressing city of Yulin-dai, after hoping to spend a productive week in the capital, Zalatine, she realizes that the exciting and relaxing summer is not turning into the thing that she envisioned, nor one that she wanted to experience herself. Rigesh Altren left his stint in the military to find solace in Yulin-dai instead of returning home to his family in the countryside. As a Rune Specialist, he has all that he could ask for, but that doesn't deter him from perfecting his illegal elemental pistols to improve his magic. Working at the Airport and dealing with his previous lover was the least of his worries after finding the badly, half-eaten corpses of his coworkers in the breakroom. It seems this was more than what he bargained for.

The Novel's Extra's Extra
As a reader, Cristopher always looked for things that entertained him, didn't matter what the "critics" said, all that matters was his own opinion on the novel, so he started reading "The Novel's Extra", a webnovel that despicts an author who is transmigrated to his own novel. It was fun and all with its own good and bad points, really, one of his favorites novels at the end of the journey, and that's taking into account the little fact that he didn't have too many things he was able to enjoy, not in that empty shell that was called life for him... Why could someone be born like that? With a void inside, an endless void that slowly consumes oneself... But... for better or worse... everything changed one day, the same day he woke up to discover he had the same faith of the author whose novel he just finished reading, becoming an extra in a novel, becoming The novel's extra's extra... /Ok, now that's the description I thought of... first of all, for those of you who are reading this, if any, a few points I have to make clear: 1. I'm not an english native speaker, so if you find anything wrong in the text, please let me know, that would help me learn, and I would be thankful for that.2. I'm writting this out of pure "enjoyment", so while I'll try to be constant, I'll not make any promises.3. True reason why I'm writing this is because I'm going through a moderate to crippling depression right now (and no, is not because anything trully bad and horrendous happened to me, it seems to have something to do with my brain's malfuctioning, among other things), and doctors told me to try writing as I enjoy reading. So yeah, this is more like a self-help excercise, to keep myself distracted while trying to be safe from my self.4. I choose to make a fanfiction of "The Novel's Extra" as I don't trully know how to write, and because I really loved that webnovel, though there are some points I didn't particulary liked.5. If you see some (let's be clear, really much) self insertion on this series, well, that may be me trying to escape reality, to which I make an early warning and disclaimer, and also ask for forgiveness, as I said before, this is more of an excercise, so don't take it too serious.6. I'll be a slow writer, as I have to still check a few things from the novel, even when I've read it like 3 or 4 times already, and because I know shit about writing a novel or a series.7. If you get to enjoy this, then that's good, I would be glad about it, maybe even more motivated, but I don't really expect this to be any good. Thanks to you all who may, or may not, be reading this novel./
