《Re: Corruption》Chapter 8: Raluca
Advertisement
So yeah I’m back, I will try to keep the 3 chapters a week that I promised up.
Btw I got some news. I will start adding POV’s of other characters, buuuut I will keep about 80% of the story from our mc’s view.
Plus this chapter will now adapt what about all of the mature stories get sooner or later (if you know what I mean)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# POV: Ronica Raluca #
Josh brought a new delivery of strong looking Hobgoblins in and even managed to buy some War Orc variant. War Orcs are evolved Orcs, thinner, bigger and way stronger than normal Orcs. They can’t even be compared to the weak Orcs.
I plan on… testing… them later, I can’t wait. Just the thought of having War Orcs, hmmmm.
Maybe I will even give Josh a reward, I know he wants one.
While I got ready to greet my new pets, Quar rushed in, the young boy really doesn’t know how to knock on a ladies door, I will have him punished later.
“My Lady, the Kings personal messenger just arrived, he wants to see you. He said King Robert will be very displeased with you if you won’t come see him now.”(Quar)
This rude old bastard. One day I will kill this old shitty man, feel his blood on my very own hands, his limbs teared, his eyes crushed and his will broke. And then I will give him the pleasure of death. One day I will get my revenge for what he did to me on that day. Just wait.
“How much time did he give me?”(Ronica)
“He said you got about 15 minutes then he will leave.” (Quar)
15 minutes… enough time to give young Quar a little reward for informing me, it was getting warm in here anyway.
Leaving him drenched in sweat I changed my clothes and got one of my slaves to tell the messenger that I will be coming now. It would be bad if he got too impatient.
The messenger was an old acquaintance of mine, I didn’t know that he ranked up to being the kings personal messenger by now, it’s a pleasant surprise to have a good friend in such a position.
“Greetings Madam Raluca. As your servant already told you, I am here to deliver a message from King Robert to you.” (Messenger)

He bowed, it’s nice to see that he still knows his place, even as a friend of mine he is lower than me in these halls of mine. The only ones I would bow to in here would be the King and the Royal family.
“If it’s the Kings will that I get this message, then I will make haste answering. Now tell me, what does he want?”(Ronica)
“No need to answer. It’s nothing that requires a decision. You will be there.” (Messenger)
With these words he handed me a small letter.
“Dave what the? This is MY home! You are not to order me around in here!”(Ronica)
I accidently heightened my voice, almost shouted at him.
“I’m sorry Roni, I tried talking Robert out of ordering you to do it, but he was very specific that I should tell you in the exact words that I just said. Please come there, or we both might lose our heads.” (Dave)
He left without another word. I was so angry at King Robert, I accidently channeled some magic into my hands, the letter which I still held catched fire.
I panicked, threw it on the ground and spilled every liquid I had near me over it. When I finally realized that the fire was already extinguished, the letter was unharmed.
The old bastard even used arachnea paper to make the letters, he really wants what is written inside.
Arachnea paper, most people don’t even know of its existence. It is the strongest paper there is, fire resistant and made from the carapace of an ancient monster, an Arachnus Magnus, a legendary being of which only all few decades one is born. The paper in my hands is worth a small fortune.
I slowly opened the letter and read its contents.
‘Ronica Raluca, hereby you are ordered to be at the Southport arena at the 21st this month. If you don’t arrive on time see your noble status and all your belongings taken.
You will be there to bid on “The Kings Favorite”. When you arrive you will be given more specific information.”
He wants me to bid on some lowly being he took a liking in? Who does he think he is? Oohh I will get my pretty little deary and show him, just how weak any monster is that is not trained by me!

-Time jump: Arrival at the arena-
A Gremlin? Am I being fooled with? Arachnea paper and a threat to get me here, just to bid on some lowly Gremlin? These creatures don’t even look good! They are nothing more than weak Hobgoblins who look more like dogs than like sentient beings.
I can’t wait to make my cute new pet smash this Gremlin of his! I want to see that look on his face when he realizes that he spent a fortune on getting us all here to buy some trash!
I didn’t even get a good place, I’m right above the door he will come out of, I won’t even be able to see him properly!
Hmph, a normal Gremlin… but that Lizard looks interesting, I never had the chance to… taste one. I will tell my new toy to keep him alive while crushing that “Tral” Gremlin down there.
(the fight between Tral, Chiuco and the Goblins now started)
I got to admit, he knows how to fight, I really want him, but he is the Kings Favorite and so I will crush him. Nothing will stop me from that.
After the two finished the Goblins, the others started bidding, when the auction reached a price of 17 Aur, I started to make my moves.
“20 Aurs, for that Lizard down there. The Gremlin is not worth such a price!”
Quietly everyone stared at me, I just refused one of the Kings direct orders to buy. If now none of the others take my side I’m as good as dead.
“21 For that Lizard lad! Lady Raluca is right, what you showed us proved the Lizards worth, not the Gremlins!” Luckily Crixus, the fat but surprisingly clever man, accompanied by an Ogre, joined me.
“*sigh* What do you wish to see then? Just say it and Tral will show his worth.” (King)
“I’ve brought a special pet of mine here today. I just got him recently, he should be more than enough.” (Ronica)
The King nodded, so I let several of my servants make my fighter ready. This will be just beautiful.
# POV: Tral #
They are arguing about my price. I wonder who will end up buying me.
I’m not particularly mad that I will be sold, a real home would be way better than the cave we live in right now, but I don’t want to leave the others behind.
The woman who looked at me with lustful eyes, let’s call her ‘Lust’ for now, got the King into sending another monster for me. I will prove my worth. Chiuco will not be needed this time, I will finish this alone.
“Chiuco stay back, I will finish this. Just wait and watch, you might learn something from it.”(Me)
I’m sure this young Lizard will one day be very strong if I keep him alive till then.
Like the others I will train him. If our buyer plans to keep us fighting in the arena than I promise you, our squad will be a legend one day. Just wait for it.
(little info: Chiuco is a lizard so when he talks it will be kind of lizardlike… or at least kinda inhumane so don’t be confused about weird spelling and so on)
“Traaaaal, are you sssure? I will beee of greaat assssisstance I promissse.” (Chiuco)
That’s the first time he said several sentenced at once. Normally he said a maximum of a few words, I already thought he was as dumb as Gur.
His voice is of a very high tone, just as you imagine a snake speaking he stretches many vocals and ‘s’s.
“Don’t worry about it. Just watch and enjoy!” (Me)
I want to fight something strong now! I want a challenge like with the Borees, a fight about life and death. This Dog eat Dog world will give me this! I know that.
Then I felt something behind the door where the Goblins came from before. It was closed again, but I felt a tremendous power, a power strong enough to crush me, behind it.
A weirdly familiar aura.
-------------------
Little info for the next day: I will soon upload an info chapter explaining specific information about the evolution and the world of ‘Re: Corruption’.
Plus I may(I’m not sure bout this point) add some of our mc’s backstory to it.

Forbidden Destiny
Two troubled teens, raised as siblings, try fighting their attraction to one another, while struggling to uncover the truly unexplainable and unimaginable reasons why their entire lives were a lie. Sky and Star were raised as brother and sister. As they got older they began to realize that there was much about them that was completely unexplainable and deliberately being hidden from them. Struggling with the feelings they were raised to believe they shouldn't have for one another, and all the pain that causes them, the two search desperately to uncover the truth about who... or what they really are. (This book is completed, so the plan was to post 1 chapter each day until the end) *This story does deal with difficult issues such as suicide, abuse and rape. Though I try to do so in the most realistic, sensitive and sympathetic way possible. So be advised that these themes are included in the book. And I hope you'll give it a chance nonetheless.* *Yet another disclaimer: Yes, there are teenagers involved in consensual sexual relationships with other teenagers in this book. Which is also a more than common occurence in hundreds of other books, shows and films, (not to mention a common occurence in real life, even though this is a fantasy story with characters who may or may not even be fully human), so if you have a problem with troubled teens behaving like troubled teens, then you probably shouldn't read this book.*
