《The Fragile Monster Lord》Chapter 142 Faithful Gaze
Advertisement
I hadn't been posting for a single day sorry my brain is a bit burned out at the moment so the content making machine is slowing down ! I fix it in no time and get back on track !
==============================================
The ground was rough and the sun was bright shining through the big leafs of the dark trees beside us,the thick vegetation of the area never changed and small cries would sometimes resound throughout this forest giving a tense atmosphere to it.
-The rainbow dragon knew that it was his end and with his last dying breath the dragon decided to have mercy on the souls of these heroes that came to slay him,he had lived a long and satisfying life he knew that there was no place in this world that he belonged to anymore...
I narrated continuing to move on as I remembered the story from my muscle memory speaking soft and gently,clear enough for the little dragon girl behind me to hear as she listened patiently her hands tightly hung onto my chest,her breath calm and low and her eyes sparkling with a interested luster.
-Wahhh ! What did the dragon do ! He didn't die right ! He can't die !
Rimulu interjected her panicked voice showed that she was already very hooked onto the story,I also smiled because of the interest she showed and was about to continue until hobusaku shouted out.
-Lord sorron we have come to the village !
The sudden shout startled me for a slight second,it was enough to disturb my thoughts temporarily as I instantly forgot the next line of the story I wanted to tell.
Rimulu noticed the sudden pause in my narration and started to get very irritated as her legs started to swing up and down her hands choking me from behinds as she shouted out.
-What happened ! Tell rimulu already what did the dragon do !
Her attitude suddenly got very strong as she started to bicker me about the story,I tried to recall the next line,but the more I tried the more I forgot to really say rimulu also wasn't really helping since she was shaking me up from behind.
-Rimulu how about we stop here ? We already arrived at the village after I take care of a few things and we start moving again I continue the story how about it ?
I tried to bargain and surprisingly enough rimulu was considering it seriously while humming to herself whether or not she should do it or not,after a few minutes she finally decided.
-Fine ! But you have to promise to continue the story !
I didn't need to think any further and just smiled while also gently putting her down to the ground and meeting her face.
-I promise
Seeing me smile at her like this made rimulu instantly go red for a second,she seemed a bit stunned by my cheery look and started to go shy as she looked down nodding her head with her cute flushed cheeks.

-Fufu...my lord you seem to be very skilled when it comes to children your also a good cook so I bet you will be a wonderful father..fufu
Wylniva who was watching our interaction teased on the side making me smile awkwardly as a thought of me becoming a father suddenly entered my head,suddenly a image came to my mind that image showed all of the girls holding a cute little baby in their hands taking care of it and smiling at it with a motherly smile,the thought was stimulating and something I didn't need right now,not that I didn't like children I liked them a lot actually,but it was just not the right time right now and even if I wanted to,I also needed to think about the feelings of the girls the foremost since we still had a lot of things to do until we could actually relax some more.
Wylniva who was observing me the whole time laughed again,her laughter was obvious as she probably read my expression and figured out what I was thinking about,I got slightly embarrassed because of it so I decided to not give wylniva any opportunity to tease me anymore and instead raised my head for a moment looking forward towards the kobold village.
On the way here we had fought dozens or so beasts higher then usually if I had to say,the sudden influx of beasts had me a bit worried,but I immediately figured out that the reason for the sudden influx was because of the huge monster army the demon lord send through the other part of the forest which must have made quite an ruckus making a lot of monsters and beasts run for their lives and get the forest rattling for a bit,the influence was strong and even reached this area,with this I could expect high amounts of fighting going on inside the forest so we had to be a bit more careful if we didn't want to be overrun by a horde.
But because of the influx of beasts an idea popped up into my head !
I stopped in my tracks,slowly turned around towards the girls,my eyes swept over everyone this action made them quickly self conscious of themselves and also pulled their attention as they understood that I had something to say,my mind drifted towards the idea I had and I couldn't help,but smile expecting something out of this as I started talking.
-Everyone we won't be staying in this village for too long and because of that I decided that we would make a small competition well not really a competition,but a task...you will all go into the forest and catch a beast for yourself and I expect it to be alive since it will serve you as your mount !
I said,quickly following it up with an explanation of how big the beast should be and how long the task would continue which was until I was finished sorting out a few things with the kobolds and was ready to go.

While walking through this forest I slowly figured that walking was turning into a chore,it wasn't tiring the girls,but it was still a effort that we had to make which slowly drained us from our energy it was also a bit too slow and wasted precious time,which is why I thought of having the girls finally catch a beast for themselves and use it as a ride !
I had previously thought about that idea,but I never really gone through with it other then red hawk of course who I took in as a means of necessity because we were really far away from home.
The reason I never gone through with it was because I already had a lot of work on my hands adding the beasts into my party was only going to make my job harder since I just didn't have time to properly take care of them and feed them accordingly,the girls were also not ready for such responsibility since they first needed to get stronger themselves,but now that they were strong and perceptive enough it was about time for them to get a ride for themselves.
It would help them to be a bit more responsible and make them grow in areas that I couldn't teach them in,the amount of monsters that came right now was also a very good opportunity for them since it would give them a huge selection of what to get as a mount or rather companion I had to say.
There was little conversation between the girls,but it seemed like the prize that I mentioned had them excited for a few minutes as all uncertainty in their eyes was replaced by excitement it didn't take long for the first person to run towards the forest to get their beast mount after the first girl a second followed and then a third ending up with almost everyone running at the same time to get the beast mount,I watched them happily sprinting away and as I did,I noticed that hoboku was still standing here her eyes never leaving my figure with a worried flash crossing her eyes for a second.
I was a bit puzzled and wanted to ask her what was wrong,but as I was about to do so I saw hoboku moving swiftly towards me her hands suddenly holding my head on both sides and her soft lips sealing my own giving me a hard kiss.
The kiss had me thrown off and I wanted to resist lightly,but I couldn't as the pleasure started to consume me from within without any sort of warning,the kiss lasted for half a minute leaving me sucking for air as hoboku smiled at me cheekily while licking her lips tasting some remains of my saliva.
-I am sorry I was impatient...
She purred softly,stroking my back as she did so while staring into my eyes deeply,her love and lust was definitely inside her heart,I couldn't even get angry at her since I enjoyed it as much as she did even though it was a surprise,but through her feelings I could also sense something else...resolve ?
I was confused,but didn't bother asking anything anymore and just watched as hoboku moved her eyes from me and momentarily stared up towards wylniva who stood at the side,wylniva was observing this whole thing and it was kinda embarrassing with her watching us like this since it was something pretty intimate we were doing right now which I didn't want other people to see naturally,I was expecting her to have a teasing smile on her face when facing her,but unexpectedly that wasn't the case...
Wylniva wasn't smiling no,she was expressionless at the moment meeting hoboku's sharp gaze with her very own not looking away to slightest bit...watching these two I couldn't figure out what they were trying to tell each other through this gaze,but one thing I was sure it wasn't hostility....
-Hmph...you are pretty good...
Wylniva muttered averting her eyes first as she looked down onto the ground with no particular feeling that indicated she lost,hoboku simply grunted seeing wylniva look away also not showing any particular sign that she had won in any way making me even more confused at the moment as she quickly left towards the forest like everyone rest for the search of her amazing mount.
I could only watch her back disappearing inside the dark forest before asking wylniva.
-What did you two do ?
Wylniva was quiet for a few seconds before answering with a teasing tone.
-Only woman can understand such things even if I told you,you probably wouldn't understand fufufu...
She laughed with all knowing tone quickly facing back towards the entrance to the kobold village her usual playful demeanor back as if nothing happened.
I already knew that asking any further wouldn't do anything so I didn't bother with it anymore and just sighed looking at the wooden gate and watching it slowly open up to us as the kobolds on the other side made huge effort to open up.
I touched my lips for a second,feeling the warm that was transmitted through them a few minutes ago and also that foreign weird taste of hoboku's saliva that I liked for some reason.

Enigma's Multiverse (Rewritten, link in description)
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/41344/enigmas-multiverse-rewrite LINK TO REWRITE!
8 456I Was Reincarnated as Someone's Mana??
My name is Magnus Karlsson, and by a series of rather unfortunate events that I had absolutely no say in, I was killed and reincarnated. In this story, you will follow Magnus as he tries his very best to survive in a world that's been thrown into chaos, together with the man whose mana he is, Allan Woodsworth. Well, not a man per se, more of a little boy who has no idea what the fuck is going on, but, you know... I'm sure it'll be fine. Nothing bad will happen to the pair. Nope. No abandoned kids here. Anyhow. The world that Magnus has been thrown into is one perversed by the will of a great mage who, three thousand years ago, decided that it would be a great idea to infuse all the people of the earth with so-called "orbs". These magical crystals allow their handler to control and generate mana, which they can then use to become mages. Most barely use them, since the mana cost of doing such a little thing as a fireball spell is absolutely ridiculous. Said mage, Theodore Cromwell, Magnus used his resources to infuse not only humans with orbs, but animals as well, giving rise to what the mage community calls "horrid perversions of nature", but what the common folk calls "monsters". Orbs can be used for much, and it is through orbs that people keep track on their level of mana and such, and destroying the orb of a monster is A, the only way to kill it and B, a good way to absorb extra mana and raise ones level. It is such an orb that Magnus has been tranformed into. ------ To those that care, I'm very sorry about the title, it's just that, well, it's very good to be blunt about isekais like this since people such as myself search precisely for this, so having super-serious names like "The Magnus of the World of Orbs" would turn people wanting a simple and fun isekai off. I hope you give this story a fair chance! ------ Edit: IWRASM now has a deviantart page!!! https://www.deviantart.com/thefunartcorner
8 83Soten (Book I in The Saga of Mira the Godless)
Anyone on the Isle will say Lady Mira caused the Twenty Years' War. While they're at it, they'll call her a witch, a whore, or a heathen, maybe all three in the same breath. Soten is Mira's version of the story. Captive in a Northern village, Mira expects brutality from the rough climate and harsh Northerners. Instead, she discovers a land where people speak their thoughts out loud, where women are free to be with any they desire, and those who divine messages from the gods are listened to, not burnt at the stake. Mira's idyllic new life is threatened when she hears of her brother's growing army to the south; she doesn't need rescuing; she's far too attached to the life she's building (and the lighthearted raider who is quickly becoming a central part of it). Then she meets Arik, the enigmatic Norsern king, a man who has drastic plans for next season's raids, plans that involve the sister of a great southern commander. To Mira, this is a story about love. To the rest of the world, it is a story about war. Book II: KAKEN coming soon!

8 88Vigilantes Make Us Safe: Rebel Rebel
When the world was on the brink in the 1940s a group of men and women with uncommon ability pulled the world from the brink. They inspired generations to come and led to a golden age of vigilantes protecting the world. Times change. By the early 2000s almost nowhere was willing to tolerate unregulated men and women dispensing their own form of justice. The dawn of the internet made operating in the shadows virtually impossible. Everyone thought the days of vigilantes were done but presidential candidate Richard Hughes, riding a wave of populism, has promised to bring these men and women into the light and empower them to keep us all safe. The passing of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act changes everything. All teenagers feel like they don’t fit in at times. Ryaan Asfour knows the feeling well. As part of an immigrant family in a country turning against immigrants, there’s a lot of people who don’t think he belongs. The election of Richard Hughes and the passage of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act hasn’t helped matters. Suddenly anyone who wants to discriminate can just say they’re keeping people safe and do whatever they want. Sudden popularity at school after hitting a game winning shot makes it even more apparent how much he doesn’t fit in with the rest of his world. A clash with a pair of vigilantes on his way home from school puts things in perspective. What can Ryaan do to protect his family and his neighborhood? Vigilantes Making Us Safe will follow a variety of lead characters including Serenity, Toxic, Hitbox, the Rebel and more. I'll keep the cover image and title updated to reflect the current protagonist but I encourage you to check them all out.
