Chapter 13
Leo got his daughter back and when she woke up she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. She cried tears of joy seeing him again, apparently she was smart just like he was and had noticed that the famous rich guy had the same eyes she did. So she put two and two together and knew immediately. Unfortunately for her, her mom wasn’t having any of it and restricted her from contacting him.
After the hug Sara turned and hugged Chaos as well.
“Thank you for taking me to my daddy.” She smiled as she beamed at god.
“It was a pleasure young lady. Now be sure to behave and to take care of your daddy. You hear?” he said to her in a grandfatherly tone.
“Yup!” she cheerfully said.
As they began walking away Chaos called out.
“Wait! I forgot something.”
Turning around Chaos had a key in his hand and passed it to him.
“Take this and go to the address. You’ll find all you need there.” Chaos said as he turned and walked the other way.
Leo nodded and then left with his daughter and headed home with his guards, who by the way were oblivious of Chaos making Sara appear out of thin air. On the way home he hugged and told Sara how much he loved her and how he was so happy to have her back. She just cried and stayed in his arms and together they just hugged each other.

Back at home Sadia was cooking, even with all the money in the world, one thing she loved to do no matter what was to cook for them. Leo had let her know that his little girl was coming home and that they’d finally meet. She was ecstatic that the day had finally come, where she would finally become part of Leo’s family. Even though he’d repeatedly told her she already was, this was the last thing she needed.
As she was about to put her lamb into the oven she heard the door open. Her heart skipped a beat as she thought to herself, ‘Todays the day!’
Hurrying to put the food into the oven she heard them walk into the kitchen.
“Hey beautiful, I want you to meet someone.”
Turning around Sara saw maybe the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen. With the bronze skin that seemed to shine, hair that was tied perfectly, and eyes that made her feel safe, Sara immediately liked the woman.
“Sara meet Sadia, my girlfriend. Sadia meet my daughter Sara.” Leo introduced.
Sadia trying not to seem rude stuck out her hand to shake Sara’s hand but instead got a hug instead. Sara hung tightly around her neck and whispered into her ear, “Thanks for taking care of dad.”
Sadia choked up when hearing this while Leo on the other end had something in his eyes and had turned around. After a few seconds of quiet happy tears Sadia told them that dinner would be in a few minutes.
That night the three of them had their first family time in a long time. It was also when Leo told the two of them the truth, the truth about everything. Including who the man was, the wishes he had that were useless now, and the future. He told them about his duty now, he had to raise an empire or have all of creation fall to the invaders that were not even from their tree of the multiverse.

At the end of it all Leo was drained, Sadia wasn’t sure, and Sara thought it was all just a story. After they talked they decided it would be best to sleep on it and see how things were in the morning. That night Sadia had a dream, not one of the many nightmares with Yusef that she still had. No, this was her first encounter with a god. As she slept something pierced her veil of sleep, appearing through the darkness was an old man in a robe.
“Hello Sadia.” Chaos greeted.
“Who are you?” She asked.
“I have many names, I am the source, the origin, and the creator.” He said.
“Then you are..?”
“Yes I am, but that is not why I am here. I am here to tell you that Leo wasn’t making a story up and that he will need your help.”
“My help? How can I help Leo? He’s a genius, I’m just a lucky woman.”
“Whatever you may think of yourself it does not equate to what he thinks of you. He will need your help, not to assist but to keep him straight. Without you I fear he will succumb to the vices of power. You will be there to keep him straight.” Chaos explained.
Sadia after the last several years had always remained on the side, never feeling it was her place to share the limelight with Leo. Although her life had done nothing but improve once she joined Leo, she felt obligated to give him herself in as many ways as she could. With Chaos’ words however she finally realized her position and finally felt that Leo wouldn’t toss her aside at a moment’s notice anymore.
“I see now what you mean. I will do all I can to help him, not because you’re ordering me to but because I love him.” She told him.
“Good. Now a fair bit of warning, the worlds you will visit will not be nice. So start combat and weapons training as soon as you can.” Chaos smiled as he faded away into the blackness.
The next morning Leo woke up to a serene Sadia sleeping next to him. He always enjoyed waking up to her warm body next to his, but today he had something to do. His first objective was to go in search of the address Chaos had given him. Leo called up the head of his security division and ordered a full detail in search of the address. Three minutes later he’d gotten all the information he needed on the place, then another fifteen minutes until they began driving. Took them an hour but once they were there Leo was slightly disappointed. The building looked like a giant warehouse and in front of the building was a for sale sign.
‘What is the plan Chaos?’ Leo wondered as he looked at the building.
His security detail led him to a door where there was a note.
‘Thumbprint Reader, Get your Boss.’
Chuckling at the note Leo pressed his thumb against the door and ventured in.

Demonic Requiem | The Epitome of Evil
He feared none but himself. As a human, Elias walked a cruel path which only got more vicious as he became a demon. Born as the son of the most powerful man in the continent, but lived a life no worse than a slave. His only friend being solitude. The further he endured, the further he began to lose his humanity. Even a point came when he lost all rationality and lived as a senseless demon. But no matter the obstacle. He endured. He learned. He survived. He evolved. As the rumors of his endeavors spread, many dreaded him, many worshipped him and many bowed before him.Nonetheless, Elias continued to walk on his path. The path of a demon. As time passed, Elias terrorized the world with his evil and devious means. People deemed him as a threat who could no longer be ignored. Many empires united. They allied, and an all-out war started. But, be it the cruelty of fate or their foolishness, the alliance lost. Elias stood as the lone survivor, but alas, he lost his life from an unforeseen cause. But for better or worse, his story still seems to have not ended. Elias gets reborn back when he was young, and the path he walked once, he will walk again, but this time the one who suffers will not be him. What to expect: This story is based on the concept of "What if a villain, gets a second chance?". Hence it contains a lot of torture, torment, and inhumanity. Revenge or such feelings do not drive Elias, so it's not a revenge story. There won't be any rape scenes or incest. It's also not a story like that. But expect some cruelty and torture along the way. Also, it's a slow-paced novel. In short: A lunatic who terrorized the world with devious power and cruel means gets reborn, this time becoming even more powerful and ruthless. Link for the Cover Art:

Human in a Demon's Hide
I had recently enrolled in the military as a lowly footsoldier. Oh, before you could proceed any further, let me tell you about myself. I ain’t some patriotic soldier that’ll lay down my life for the sake of my country. Hell no! That shit is for the people with loose screws! I had only a few goals when I joined the army: March into battle, kick ass, and earn me some cash! Achieving glory on the way wouldn’t hurt. I just need the money to feed my little brother and sister. Their world is all I want to protect. The glory is for washing clean the stains that my father left on the family name. We became such a joke in the country that our mother abandoned us. I don’t know if he really did betray the country, but I don’t care. For my little siblings to suffer the same mockery and humiliation that I did is unacceptable! To protect the smiles of my only family, I would do anything. Yet, life knows to shit on you when things are just getting good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, author-san here!This is my first story, set up in a fantasy world. It's based on the medieval and steam era where magic is rare and alchemy is used widely used as a weapon by people. There would be lots of action, adventure, betrayal, tragedy, romance, etc. ahead. Warnings-The mc is a bit mean and foul-mouthed, introvert. There would be strong language and lots of monologue narration by the MC. The stories are fast-paced and progressing faster. The chapters update would be unstable, depending on my daily life. You would get fast updates... or slow.Also, English isn't my first language. So don't expect perfect grammar :( P.S. - I would like some constructive critique and feedback!It fills my motivation gauge and increases that rate of chapter/week. (/>3

The Solstice Wars
In the grey-cloaked cityscape of modern London, student William Whiteswift has two secrets: the Fae walk among humanity, and they are just as vulnerable as us. His childhood was filled with them; they spawned nightmares and episodes, dreams and obsessions. The nightmares remain, of course, but the fae are his normal. Now, he heals them, for William is gifted. When he saves a faerie -- a humanoid fae -- from an injury he can’t explain, William is forced to let her stay. Finally, he may have taken on more than he can handle; Ainsel could uproot his life in seconds. Instead, she cracks a Pandora’s box of mysteries: someone just flipped her home on its head. And because of that, she did something unspeakable. And somehow, she doesn’t want to hurt him. The longer she stays, though, the crueler his nightmares grow. Worse, governments hide secrets, too: they know of faeries. To them, all fae are monsters fueled by solstices and equinoxes. As the autumn equinox approaches, the culling agency COURT hurries to track Ainsel down. With teams across the United Kingdom and Ireland -- iron-strong despite the region’s history -- they are nearing success. A world away, their country wounded, the faerie leaders hunger for justice. In the looming shadows of war and of Ainsel’s mistake, can a human and a faerie protect each other against their own kind? Could their plight mend rifts between bitter nations and bitterer people? Or will it, like past attempts at peace, shatter? Quick note! I hope you all enjoy the Irish (Irish Gaelic) words here and there! All are defined or explained within the text. This is my chance to show off speaking it at least somewhat decently. Still learning. ;D -K
