《A forgotten ruler》Chapter 7 Tori's trouble
Advertisement
“People would call it tough love from your father.” (Zenith) (she’s joking with Ling Yue.)
“Oh I’m sure he is a jerk, whom should’ve died a long time ago. Those 20 dullahan I sent is enough to cause chaos. Sure humans refer to them as ghost riders. Right I don’t mind killing father, the corrupt officials or a few greedy gods.”
“Miss you didn’t think or wracking havoc just cause of that.”
“Don’t worry I have a plan and a back up one in case it all goes wrong.”
Zenith couldn’t say anything instead she watched her mistress toss a stone into the sky. As it shattered in the sky creating a fake meteor shower in the sky. When she saw the sinister smile on her mistress’s face she knew it wasn’t going to be pleasant.
“Humans calls those dullahans ghosts but the term is also wrong right.”
“Yes that they are, because real ghosts are scattered soul fragments that couldn’t move on and had lingering attachments to their previous lifetime. Though if they get too corrupt by it they turn into a humanoid monster you see in books that humans exaggerate as monsters in human form. The Abyssals are definitely better looking in the creepy department there.”
Instead of letting Zenith answer her, she called out to Yami who was listing on the side. The 15 year old girl with light green hair and a white laced dress. But if one was to judge her by her age they’d be stupid to say she was a child.
“Hi, (yawn)what’s new (yawn).” (Yami)
Yami herself was a chaos being, a God would refer to her as a chaos beast because her kind usually listens to their instincts that cries out to them. They also created a God and a universe for them to watch over or different worlds. As for why she’s following Yami because she thought it amusing and she was also avoiding her 5th younger sister. Yami always acted lazy but she was wide awake and didn’t like bothersome things.

“I sent out the 20.”
Yami’s eyes glittered as if she were a child but she couldn’t fool the two in front of her. This girl was probably older than a million years old. Her kind loved to wreck havoc and kill as they please based on instincts but she was too lazy to follow through with such a thing. Making her an exception of her race.
“Tch.....troublesome have....... someone else do it.”
Ling Yue couldn’t help but shake her head but when she mentioned the plan Yami disappeared happily.
“Level the (yawns) castle (yawn) so she says.”
She opened a portal to the netherworld easily but she still felt sleepy as she arrived by the stone walls. Yami stood in the grasslands before the castle. Actually she cringed when she saw all the decorations on the castle walls. This person must’ve been a super narcissistic bastard whom loved himself. There was even beautiful stain glasses on the window. She couldn’t help but be excited since she had never played with a castle before. But she sighed when she remembered she needed her nap after this. Yami had been the one to free Ling Yue from the witches so seeing the one responsible made her only more angry.
‘I could level the whole place but that’d be more annoying for Ling Yue since she’d have to go through the paperwork and organize the dead. How am I to explain if I did that and sent the whole netherworld to her. Stupid people make me work extra work. She’s mine to play with not for them to torment.’ (Yami)
“State your business.” (Guard A)
Yami didn’t say anything but blew off half the castle with the pebble in her hand. She nodded in satisfaction to herself.
“I’m here to punish your pitiful king for maiming her (LY) on her mother’s funeral in front of her mother. It’s also the bastard’s fault she doesn’t celebrate her birthday. Also a message to the idiotic king stop tormenting little Ling.”
A small glow came off her as she snapped her fingers and the castle walls turned into ashes. Her eyes also turned sharp as she spotted Tori. But she didn’t mind the soldiers listing their balance and breaking their bones. She didn’t care since she considered Ling Yue as her own people so anyone who went to far she will somehow punish them for it. Instead she stood there waiting as they asked the king to negotiate with her. Yami rolled her eyes when she saw his entrance of long silky silver hair and his wolf ears. This person really trying to be elegant made her feel sick. His black long winter coat draped over his gown. (You know those you see in ancient China)

“Who dares attack the underworld.” (Tori)
“Correction destroyed your castle.”
“Brat! Do you want the whole netherworld as your enemies.”
“Bah, (sticks out tongue) so much lies in one sentence. Only 12% and below belong to you and your son since his birth, the rest belong to Ling Yue. Leave her alone even if you feel threatened by her ‘fake’ king.”
“You dare call me fake.”
“Who wouldn’t after all the things you put her through. Also your sick children’s game and throwing her to the witches. A sick man indeed.”
Yami yawns as she saw him shaking in anger at her. Not that she minded an angry silver wolf demon, that’s only if it was Ling Yue.
“Say you’re a failure of a father. Maiming your own daughter in front of the other gods and goddesses making you a joke, an embarrassment. She tried to get you this dishonorable father away from her mother’s corpse. Yet you maimed her, is this truly a father.”
He nearly chocked on his own blood in his throat, how can this little girl be so sharped tongue. What bothered him was how she knew the events to even the details that happened back then. Tori never mentioned the two events (the witches and the funeral) to his own people here in the netherworld yet she threw it out into the open. In front of his own soldiers too no less.
“You really know how to slander someone’s name.”
Tori grinned his teeth as he glared at her but wanted to reason with her.
“So you say yet every damn time you see her you put her down. Ah right there was that sick game of yours.....picking up children from cities, villages and towns of all kind just to throw them into a death match in a room. Giving them weapons and saying they can’t go out unless they kill the others. The last one standing is the champion but you throw them into another room much like the one they were in before. Then you recruit them at age 18 as your loyal guards.”
Tori felt a chill when he felt someone glaring into his back. His back turned on Yami only to see his older brother Hei Feng. This brother of his gave up his throne for Tori. This was the same uncle who doted on Ling Yue. When Hei Feng heard Yami’s words his face turned dark. He had long black hair, golden eyes and pointed ears instead of wolf ears. Yami blinked as she noticed the two looked nothing alike aside from their eye colors.
Yami sat down to eat as she watched the two brothers fighting. One was like night and the other like day. They didn’t get along like water and oil. Her words only added more hatred to the brotherly bond of theirs. Though the fuse was Ling Yue herself. She popped a candy into her mouth as she watched the two pulling out their weapons on each other.
“My sisters time waits for no one. It has long past since 2nd through 4th sister died due to their foolishness. A death match between sisters to see whom is stronger is just stupidity. I will not fight 5th sister so I ran away from her. She too wanted to know whom the strongest of us sisters are. Seeing these two fight brought back unnecessary memories.”

Tale of an Anomaly

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
