《Re:Asura》Chapter 4: Blood Devil Shane
Advertisement
As the red-robed man soared through the skies cradling Cyrus with one hand and holding the Three Legged Crow hatchling;s neck with the other, Cyrus finally got a closer look at the red-robed man. His face showed signs of aging as he had crows feet on his eyes, and there were numerous scars on his face. The most prominent one was the scar that was vertically across his left eye. His red irises never left the horizon, seemingly to be in deep thought.
"Cawwww!" The Three Legged Crow hatchling was attempting to scratch the red-robed man's hand, struggling to get itself free. However it seemed to have no effect on the man as his expression did not change, just continuing to stare at the horizon.
After a couple hours of an uneventful flight, Cyrus could finally make out a cluster of pavilions, temples and pagodas. It seemed like even in this world, there are cultures that are similar to the Chinese from Cyrus's world. "Lord Shane, you're back" A plain white-robed young man wrapped his fists and bowed deeply to the red-robed man. Cyrus deduced that the red-robed man's name was Shane.
Carrying the infant Cyrus and the Crow Hatchling with both arms, Shane strode towards a particularly large pagoda with a signboard with golden letters "Blood Devil Residence".
"Greetings, Lord Shane," everyone that saw the red-robed man would greet him the same way the first man did. As Shane approached the pagoda, the iron doors suddenly swept aside, granting access to Shane. "Do these doors open automatically?" Cyrus wondered. There was no one on the opposite side of the doors, hence making Cyrus wonder if there was a hidden device.
"What shall I do with this child...." Shane mumbled to himself. On a whim, he had killed the Three Legged Crow, rescuing Cyrus but after a while, he realized that he had no idea what to do with the baby. As a warrior, he had spent all his time learning the arts of combat and some magic. He had never married, not to mention raising a baby. "Maybe I should ask a disciple to raise him."

WIthin this continent, Shane was well known as the Blood Devil, having dyed his originally white robe red with the blood of the enemies, all in the name of vengeance and anger. In this White Serenity School, Shane was no doubt the most proficient in physical combat.
After some contemplation, he decided to let a female disciple that had given birth before to raise the baby. He did not know whether the infant had parents, but he guessed that the powerful Three Legged Crow had already killed his parents and took the infant to feed its hatchling.
"This Three Legged Crow seems to have a higher growth rate than most Three Legged Crows..." Shane thought to himself. He had deduced that this Three Legged Crow was only 2 years old from the number of white feathers it had. Every magical beast has a feature that reveals their age. For example, a hundred year old Three Legged Crow would have a hundred white feathers, and a thousand year old Hellfire Phoenix would have a thousand feathers with a distinct pattern.
However, this Three Legged Crow was almost the same size as its mother who had forty white feathers, even though it was only two years old! In the future, it was possible for this Three Legged Crow to reach an insane size and power. Shane had decided to hand raise it as he felt that it was too dangerous to be left alone and felt that it was too wasteful to kill it.
"Doerba, send for Fourth Discple Kira, I have a favour to ask of her." Shane projected his mental power to his servant who was waiting outside his pagoda.
In a few breath's time, light footsteps could be heard from outside Shane's pagoda. "Lord Shane,Fourth Disciple Kira has arrived." Doerba's meek voice came through the gaps of the iron doors.

"Come in." At the same time, the iron doors swiftly opened, allowing a kindly looking woman that seemed to be in her thirties to walk in. "Fourth Discple Kira greets Teacher," Kira bowed her head.
"Kira, I found this boy in the middle of the Valley of Magical Beasts. I fear that his parents and village was massacred by the Three Legged Crow, and hope that you will look after him for the time being, until he is old enough to start making a living for himself."
"It shall be done, Teacher. Then this child.... Does he have a name?" Kira looked at the baby who was also staring back at Kira with his cute pearly eyes. Kira's maternal instincts were already starting to take over, thinking of the things she would do, such as dressing up the boy in pretty clothes.
"Ah... that... I too, do not know. You may name him as you wish." Shane lightly yawned and let Kira decide on the child's name. The toll of using the Blade of Grand Destruction was finally starting to catch up to him, and he wanted to take a good rest and resume his closed door training. Kira noticed his momentary display of exhaustion and was tactful enough to end this matter quickly, allowing her teacher to have his rest.
"We shall name him...."

Adventurers flock to massive crypts brimming with riches and promises of power. Heroes storm the gates of dark fortresses, their swords drawn in the name of freedom. Gods tear the heavens asunder, clashing over the fate of the realm itself. Arek cooks lasagna and tops it with a dash of finely chopped basil. Arek never wanted to fight again, but his plans have gone awry in the best way possible. After joining the Happy Sunflowers as their cook, Arek quickly grew attached to his new friends and party. After escaping a strange dungeon by the skin of their teeth, the group find themselves plunged into a struggle for power that has simmered beneath the kingdom for dozens of years. The strange power that has entered Arek and Ming seems to be spreading to the rest of the party, and none of them know what it wants. Arek's past barks at his heels, but he has no plans of going back to the person he used to be. The future seems uncertain, but there is one thing the orc knows for sure. He has meals to prepare, and, this time, nobody is going to kill his friends. All the recipes in this book are real recipes that I have personally made. The actual recipes will be included at the end of the chapter, and I highly encourage everyone reading to try them out. In addition, make sure to check out the Morcster Chef comic at this link! Morcster Chef: Reckoning is the 2nd book in the Morcster Chef series. You can read the first one on RoyalRoad at THIS link. IMPORTANT NOTE: Morcster Chef is a comedy / fantasy novel. It has equal parts cooking and Dungeons & Dragons style adventuring. It does not have: an OP / bitter protagonist, harems, excessively dark topics, or a depressing storyline. It is meant to be lighthearted. Cover art by CyanGorilla
8 215A Tale of the Golden Crown
Life is unpredictable. If you turn left, you could meet the love of your life. Turn right, and be a millionaire. And if you think you are clever, go straight, only to be killed by brick-kun and reincarnate as an Heir to a Duchy. Which is fine as long you ignore plots, rivalries and struggles for power, but even if the tales of the Golden Crown are so many as stars in the sky, they all weigh the same in the end. Follow with me the story of Leonidas, as he tries to find his way in a Kingdom at the verge of a civil war and to find out, what the rules of his rule should be, so that his own crown would not crush him to death. And of course, conquest and plots! And action! I hope… Hi! The story is a little bit inspired by CK2 and Stronghold and serves two purposes: to better my writing skills and to have fun! So, I welcome grammatical criticism and pointing out plot holes, as I would want the story to make sense for my readers too! Have fun! 31.05.2022. Currently in Hiatus, as I hit a wall in writing conversations. So I will try something else and come back later to this story.
