《The Egotistical Ruler [DROPPED]》Chapter 13: The Source
Advertisement
If my cookies exceed 4 overall I shall ask to remove the "The" in The Egotistical Ruler to make it easier to find in the fiction section. Probably do it anyways even I don't get 4 cookies but anyways continue rating this FF people. The ratings make me feel good about myself, almost as much as seeing 20 people reading my FF at once after posting chapter 12.
Lynford exited his Coma and as usual made dinner. He hadn't eaten lunch so he had a large appetite. Afterwards he went for an evening jog. After he came back he noticed that it wasn't his normal bedtime yet so he went to the internet to look up stuff.
'Ooh a video about Fanatasy Chronicles has been making quite a few hits.'
Opening the video full screen Lynford was shocked to see himself give a speech to villagers and then the battle that occured just today. Confused Lynford looked at the person who uploaded it and saw the username: Stagolalicious696942. Remembering the other player in the fight Lynford decided to look up his name. He often looked up pictures so Google Images was his default search engine. Looking it up horrified Lynford and emotionally scarred him.
'Enough internet for today I'm going to bed.'
~In the morning~
Lynford got a call from his boss after he woke up.
"Lynford when you took the day off we found a street beggar wanting a job and he was a natural" said Lynford's boss
-Oh so you want me to watch over him during my shift to make sure he knows everything before you make him into a full-timer.
"No, he's your replacement, you're fired." said Lynford's former boss
The boss then hung up before Lynford could say anything else.
'Hrmm I guess I have to job hunt today'
Lynford began to dress up in his only set of formal clothes and organized his resume(pretty sure resume has an accent but I'm lazy). Right before he set out his phone rang.

The voice from his phone said "Hello I'm Kandi from the media management branch of Nintendo, are you the one with the username: Emperor in Fantasy Chronicles?"
-Yes that's me but first what does the media branch do?
Kandi replied "We create the ads for the company, monitor reactions on the media to our company, and censor negative information about us."
-Isn't that last part illegal
"Yes in your country, but more importantly we wish to use your character for an ad. We've already received permission from Stagola for his perspective and his youtube video but your perspective is far more valuable." said Kandi
-Will I get paid?
"Of course, $10000 up front then royalties. $10 extra for every 1000 views of the commercial." said Kandi as though it was a minor amount of money.
'The royalties part sounds low but if they air the commercial worldwide it'll easily surpass the upfront money.'
-I agree, let me get my account info
~15 minutes later ~
'Well now that situation is over, time to log into Fantasy Chronicles. Finding a job is unnecessary now, best to just create new videos that Nintendo likes. Thanks to Stagola I'm in their line of sight. I could kiss him if I didn't cringe every time I think of him.'
Log in
Emperor appeared and found the camp made by the villagers empty and desolate. He looked around and saw evidence of them going back in the direction they came from.
'D*mn was I gone for too long. The difficulty is unknown so I'm not going without them.'
He headed back into the forest and found evidence of a battle. He started running towards the forest more before finally finding an area full of dropped weapons, blood, and strange bits everywhere.
'What happened here were they all killed?!'

Keith "Help weird monsters came and abducted everyone."
Kyle "They flew, they came with the buzzing"
Katy "They were big"
Emperor spent some time calming them down then asked "Where did they come from?"
All 3 of them pointed towards where they believed the source was.
Quest Updated
Hidden Quest:The Missing
Difficulty: Unknown
Time Limit: N/A
The villagers of Sicheren Untergang were kidnapped by strange flying monsters. They were brought to the source of the waves. Is this the same fate as the mystery 200 villagers? Investigate this unusual event with extreme precedence lest you get captured yourself.
Unknown
'Sh*t things just got way harder'
-Let's go now that I'm here we're going to rescue them.
"With just us?" Kyle asked
-Of course, we don't have enough time to rally the other villagers. Who knows what those monsters are doing right now.
They set off towards the source. After they reached the former campsite Stagola appeared with a flash of light.
"I'm f*cking rich!!!" yelled Stagola as he appeared
-Calm your tits Parasite, the villagers were captured while you were j*rking off.
"What? Why? How? When? Who?" said Stagola in succession quickly
Emperor spent some time explaining what happened to the villagers. Which prompted a question from Stagola
"Why didn't you do anything?" said Stagola
-I was away at the time and things ended up like this while I was gone.
Stagola thought 'These NPCs are really realistic so I'm betting he was Sh*tting while it happened. He's being vague because he doesn't want to admit it.'
The group of 5 headed towards the source. The rocky terrain slowly became steeper and rockier. The sky became darker as they ascended what appeared to be a mountain or very big hill.
Stagola said "The forums say monster dens have very spooky atmospheres so this will be my first time facing a den."
Emperor silently agreed with him and continued ascending the hill. As they climbed the incessant buzzing became louder and louder. The group now knew it was the monsters at the source. Eventually they arrived at a large hole near the peak of the hill. It made the hill look like an oversized anthill or inactive mini-volcano.
"Time to spledunk" said Stagola happily while not taking things seriously at all.
Everyone entered the caves and a window popped up.
Discovered monster den: Sangre Caverns
An eerie cave with the smell of blood everywhere. The rocks on the interior glow with an eerie red hue, providing lighting in the cave. A mysterious buzzing is heard within
Benefits for discovery: Bonus loot and Experience for one week
Benefits if cleared: Ownership of the den, den options
Everyone except Stagola nervously entered further. Stagola recklessly cheered because of the benefits.
Gonna do chapter 14 either today or tomorrow morning then break for the week. Of course I'll try to post lots of chapters on the weekend to make up for it like I did today and Yesterday. FYI, today and yesterday I posted 9 chapters including this one and augmented the discussion post.

The Tower at Suthsea
Yannick is out of the game. He's retired, and that suits this old mage just fine. That is, until the Archbishop summons him and twists his arm into one last crawl through the mythical Suthsea tower; a trap-filled dungeon deep in the heart of enemy territory. Completed, for now - but I'm working on a prequel or sequel.

After he woke up from the incident, he noticed that he wasn't in a hospital, but on a bed in a small hut. huh? "Where a- why are my hands small?" Noah said with a blank face. Wait it wasn't just my hands!! My whole body shrunk! He sat up on the bed, is this a dream? He pinched his cheek, ouch! so this isn't a dream but why am I small? He glanced to the side only to find two corpses that have black bubbles on their skin. No this is definitely a dream, right?! Wake up! please? Suddenly, excruciating pain burst in his head and images started flashing, as if he was seeing memories. Magic? Elves? Fairies? Demonic beasts? Those exist here? So is this not Earth?
