《YOLO?》Chapter 31

Day 1,338
Two days have passed since I've been sent to the royal palace. They sent me food so that I don't starve but other than that I haven't been really doing anything.
Day 1,340
Another two days have passed. I'm getting frustrated... How long is it gonna take for the Demon king to sort things out with his kid?
Day 1,341
The door is smashed open.
"Hahaha. Did you wait long champion? I am the demon king. I have come to grant you deepest darkest desires. MUAHAHahaha."-Demon King
A dark skinned man comes in. Now his skin isn't brown black but like actually black. He is about 7 feet and has four horns like a real demon should that is protruding from his head.
"Oh shut up dear, you're making a racket. Don't forget that I won the bet. Hehe... I've always wanted to put on that strap I bought a while ago from the merchant."-Demon queen
" *gulp* The bet doesn't count. The dwarf was our son. So our bet is void."-Demon King
"Hmph... that's not fair.!!!!"-Demon Queen
With that she storms out of the room.
"Looks like you won't be getting any tonight your majesty."-Me
"Sigh.... More like a month....."-Demon King (shakes his head in dismay)
"Hmm... Now where were we? Oh yes, your wish. Now what do you want?"-Demon King
"I want the freedom of me, Ran, Harken, Ptolemy, and Hanson."-Me
"Really that's all? Wow... you must not have a good imagination."-Demon King
"I also want these ingredient. I want to cook something one last time for the gladiators before I leave because I'm gonna miss them."-Me (I hand him the paper with ingredients)
The demon king stares at the list..
"Hmmm... This can be arranged. I'm going to be there too so make enough for me also. If you can make my wife happy with you cooking I might grant you another wish cause you'll be granting mine. *wink wink*"-Demon King
"Of course you majesty. I'll make sure you get "Lucky" by tomorrow night."-Me
"HAHAHAHA. I like you. Well. I look forward to tomorrow nights meal Gladiator of the Kitchen. I'll have these ingredients sent to you by tomorrow morning."-Demon King
With that he leaves my room.
I head back to the Coliseum and gather Ran, Harken, Ptolemy, and Hanson and tell them what I did.
"YOU DID WHAAT!!!!??"-Hanson
"Why did you do that? I want to stay here."-Hanson
"Why in the world would you want to stay here?"-Me
"To fight strong people obviously."-Hanson
"Sigh.... If you become and adventurer and travel around with me you'll meet so many strong people you'll die."-Me
*eyes sparkling.* "Are you sure..."-Hanson
"I'm positive. Now follow me and let's get these collars off."-Me
"Why did you free us also?"-Harken
"I'm forming and adventurers group with you all and we're going to be the greatest adventurers that ever existed. We are going to be told in stories for years to come. We will be legends. While the gods fade and kingdoms rise and fall we will place our mark on history and no one will forget us."-Me

Harken looked skeptical but Ptolemy was practically having an orgasm at the thought of being famous and going on an adventure.
We go to the mage and get our collars off.
"Hey guys I'm going to cook for these old chaps one last time before we leave. The demon king is gonna send the ingredients tomorrow and then we're gonna leave. So get some rest cause it's gonna be a busy day tomorrow."-Me
Day 1,342
The ingredients arrive early in the morning.
We begin preparing immediately. It is crazy in the kitchen because I have everyone working on something even the chef.
I have everyone else making pasta, all kinds of pasta, spaghetti and meat balls, chicken alfredo, penne pasta, and macaroni and cheese.
I am making dessert.The greatest dessert ever invented.... ICE CREAM.
I get a lot of cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, and strawberries.
It is such a pain in the ass cause I have to measure everything so that it doesn't taste weird.
I finish mixing everything and use ice magic to keep it in freezing temperature.
It turns night time pretty fast and the gladiators arrive in the cafeteria.
I have them all sit down first.
"As you all may know I won the tournament yesterday."-Me
The crowd cheers.
"Now I have asked the demon king for my freedom along with my friends. I have learned a lot while being here with you guys and even got a six pack. For my gratitude I have created one last meal to share with you all. I will miss you when I leave. Hey I might even come back one day."-Me
Everyone begins crying at my speech and comes to give me a handshake and hug. The female gladiators gave me lots of hugs and kisses on the cheek... Not that I'm complaining...
The doors open and the Demon king and queen arrive with their servants.
"Well it certainly smells absolutely delightful in here. Don't you think dear?"-Demon Queen
"Of course. I can't wait. I'm starving."-Demon king
He brings his own magnificent table and chairs to sit on. Perks of being a king I guess.
I serve all the kinds of pasta that I created with the help of my friends. I even serve good, aged wine.
They loved it. I never had the time to make pasta in the past because it was too time consuming and I didn't have the ingredients to make it. I'm glad that I made it for them today.
"You should be my own personal "chef" Regis. I'll take "good" care of you. Hehe..."-Demon Queen
It seems she was a little drunk on the wine.
"This was a fantastic meal Regis absolutely delicious. I have never tasted anything like you have made today. You need to give the recipe to my servants here. I must have it again. In fact give them all of your recipes."-Demon King

I take him away from the queen to talk to him privately.
"Now I'm going to put this in your wife's drink. When she drinks this within about 30 minutes she will want to go to "Bed" so badly she will practically beg for it from anyone. Now before I do this I am going to need a ship with my own crew. I will give you my cooking recipes but for 100 gold for each one. Do we have a deal?"-Me
"The demon King looks at the drug greedily. Okay but can you teach me how to make the drug also?-Demon king
"No. but I will sell you more of the drug for 1000 gold per packet."-Me
"But that is outrageous! You are cheating me."-Demon king
"No I am not. This drug will help you get "lucky" with you wife whenever you put this in her drink. And the best part is she won't remember what happened the night before."-Me
The demon king has a look of lust in his eyes...
"Okay fine. I agree to your terms."-Demon King
"Good. Now I will be stopping by your palace tomorrow. Make sure you have a good night with plenty of "sleep"."-Me
With that I leave and quickly put my plan in action.
Within about 15 minutes the Demon King persuades his wife to go back home because she is drunk.
The demon king sends his servant over to me to get the recipes.
I give him 47 recipes in total. That is 4700 gold coins. I am going to have to give him the drug in private. With that I was tired and went to sleep.
Day 1,343
The next morning I head to the Demon King's palace. I didn't notice this the first time but the castle is pretty huge. It is about the size of 10 football fields. It reaches up to 100 feet I think and the walls are all made of obsidian. It is black and sinister. Pretty badass if you ask me.
I was sent to the waiting room and I waited there for 3 hours before the Demon king arrived.
"Sorry did I make you wait too long? I "slept" well last night. Hehehe."-Demon King
"No problem. I'm here to discuss our little drug deal. How much do you want?"-Me
"I want a hundred of them. HEhehehehehe. The things I'll be able to do to her...."-Demon King
He gets a perverted grin on his face and I feel pity for the demon queen.
"Okay well first I don't have 100 of those so I'm going to need more ingredients to make more of the drug. I also need new weapons and clothes for my friends and I. I also want to inspect the ship that you are going to be giving me and the crew. I also need one of those magical bags that adventurers use. I want one for each of my companions and I need a bag to fit in over 100,000 gold."-Me
"Don't worry it can all be arranged. I will send you Demovas my servant to get what you need. I will give you the gold today. So after you make the drug for me you are free to go."-Demon King
I leave and go back and bring Harken, Ran, Ptolemy and Hanson with me to get our new materials.
Everyone looks pretty good after washing up and wearing their new clothes. We all go to my new ship.
Well what do you know? The captain of the ship is Jarkson. (the captain of the guy that brought me to the Demon continent_
It turns out that Jarkson got into debt and was now in service to the demon king. He is the captain of the ship and I meet the rest of the crew members. There are 15 of them and I forget their names quickly.
The ship is about 130 feet long and it is about 100 feet tall. I feel pretty good about it and quickly set to work on making my little drug.
I finish it in about 3 hours and have Demovas send it to the Demon king.
We rest here in the docks for tonight and finally set sail back to the human continent.
Day 1,344
We set sail early in the morning and the breeze of the ocean feels amazing.
"Yo boss why are we heading to the human continent? Do you not know what's been going on there?"-Jarkson
"No. What's going on there?"-Me
"Ooh yeah I forgot that you were slave.... Well you see about a year after you became a gladiator the Democrat kingdom completely conquered the Republicans and killed all in the royal family. Well about 2 months after that the Democrat king was old and frail and passed away. His only child the princess that got prego by the Republican prince was his heir. She did not have the power to keep the greedy nobles in check and they rebelled against her.
The entire human lands is in a state of war again. There are multiple warlords who claim to the be true king. But they are actually nobles that rebelled against the princess and everyone knows that. There is war everywhere between the warlords and there is no peace there.
The elves are not helping them because they do not want to interfere with humans and lose their own kind again in another race's war."-Jarkson
'Hmmm... so there is a problem in the humans lands.... Oh well looks like I'm going to become a king.'

8 252Sylph Resurgence
Our protagonist Kai has his mother taken away from him at a young age, an act apparently committed by demons. Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts. Kai may only be a 2nd Year student at Zion Academy, but the raging storms of this chaotic era spare no one, especially given his close ties to Adeline, the Sylph Princess. Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War. Moreover, relations between all 4 Kingdoms on the Central Continent, namely Nirvania, Miran, Cameron and the Sylph Kingdom, have reached unprecedented heights, ushering an age of peace. However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head. Even though Kai had trained hard over the past 2 years to master both his demonic and Sylph ancestry, when the battle has evolved from between mortals to that of the seemingly immortal Chaos Generals, can Kai and his fellow Nirvanians rise above the odds with their allies and vanquish the chaos?

Mark was a data analyst that had recently landed a job in a company and his life was pretty normal if not a bit boring through upon meeting a mugger in an alley his life had a drastic change not neccesarily for the better. He stopped being a sleeper and saw a glimpse of the true form of the world which opened his eyes to a new life altogether. ============================================================================================== This is my first fiction and i am loosely basing this on Mage:The Awakening rulebook. Naturally i am going to change things a bit but i don't intend to make this a novel where the main character goes around changing the whole world. It will be based on a normal guy discovering a new world while trying to find his place in it. Also please write comments warning me about things such as development speed or unrealistic relations.
