《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 5: Shenzi's Path To The Peak
Advertisement
Three weeks later after Shenzi's awakening. Shenzi wakes up out of the coma he has been in for the past month. Upon waking up, Shenzi feels the unique power coursing through his body. All the way to his heart beating loud enough to match the sync of the earth's vibration.
Upon standing up and stretching his body. Shenzi's bones crackle a tune in utter happiness. Upon fully awakening Shenzi puts his hand to his chest. Unsure if there would be a gaping hole his hand will pass through Shenzi feels his chest overbearingly hard, yet smooth like going down a water slide at a water park. Shenzi clenches his fists in excitement. To his shock a pocket of air forms within Shenzi's hand blowing up like a miniature bomb.
Upon feeling the difference, Shenzi looks into the mirror in the room. In shock, his right eye has turned Purple, and his left eye has turned Golden. Shenzi's original height of 164 centimetres has sprouted up to 178 centimetres. Standing tall like a giant his Aura chilling enough to suck away someone's soul. Caring like a mother's embrace when her child is sick.
At this moment telepathic notifications ring in Shenzi's mind. "Congratulations host's Sovereign tool Tears Of Rose has developed a Sovereign's will. Due to the love of both host and his lover. This ordinary rose petal has awakened a power beyond the host's body, and spirit can contain. WARNING! IF THE HOST'S LIFE IS NOT IN A UNRECOVERABLE SITUATION, DO NOT AWAKEN TEARS OF ROSE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE"
"Congratulations, host's heart has mutated. At the current state, the host is unable to awaken the full potential of your heart."
"Congratulations, the host has awoken an entirely new path of training. Host's mental state has leveled up to Clear Surface

"Congratulations, the host has awoken a heavenly body Empyrean Retribution. The host is currently too weak right now. Empyrean Retribution will awaken abilities as the host's Insight increases
"Congratulations, host's Spiritual Intent has awoken the [Retribution's Flame], Thus becoming of the Flame element."
"Congratulations, the host has unlocked the Emperor's Intent all whose mental state is 1 level below, and 1 level ahead of the host will face a Spiritual Suppression of 50%
'Congratulations, host's abilities and future abilities will depend on the host's [INSIGHT] and [Kill Point System] For example Host's abilities will level up 1 stage when he has killed 1,000 enemies. The next stage rank up will be 2,500 then 5,000. 10,000 and so forth. Killing humans gains you 1 Kill Point, Killing mutant wild beasts gains you 1 Kill Point. For your intense hatred toward the demons of all races. Each kill gains you 2 Kill Points."
After awakening up from his stupor. Shenzi instantly regains his calm. Shenzi begins to search his surroundings. Feeling the quality more abundant and more invigorating then he's used to. Shenzi starts to readjust his body to the surroundings. Lost in his thoughts. A women's melodic voice awakes Shenzi.
"Hello, stranger my name is Reiya you can call me rei rei for short. I'm surprised you were able to survive. Although we gods and goddesses aren't allowed to intervene with you humans, the demons broke the treaty first and begun their invasion on Earth and our Holy Land."
Shenzi smiles at Reiya and says, "Thank you miss Reiya for saving my life. I must thank you for eradicating the Demons Seed that had planted itself to my heart at birth. If it wasn't for your life-saving measures, you took to save me. I would not be awake right now and have the chance to avenge my lover."

Reiya smiles but with deep guilt hidden behind it. "Shenzi I must tell you, the demons have invaded earth to the point where they're starting to enslave humankind. Eating humans when hungry, drinking their blood when thirsty, Torturing humans in old-fashioned gladiator-style combat."
Shenzi's fists clench as air pockets form. Exploding as sharp as a Glock 45. The wood chair 15 meters away from Shenzi explodes upon the fleshly body of Shenzi's Empyrean Retribution has brought him. Shenzi says in a voice heavily laced with killing intent. "Miss Reiya, you have said you gods and goddesses aren't allowed to intervene with us humans. However, since the demons have broken the treaty, I beg of you, please train me!"
Side notes:
I was gonna explain this in the next few chapters. But since I'm a rookie I do not want Filler to be what spans across like the ocean. I will make this direct now.
Shenzi's and Adria's [Tears Of Rose] can be considered as a System and not a System at the same time. The [Tears Of Rose] will act like a system such as "Congratulations, the host has unlocked [Compressed Retribution Wave]" Also [Tears Of Rose] is not a System because it does not forcefully make Shenzi stronger. Nor does it increase Shenzi's Insight or Kill Points.
Basically, the only reason [Tears Of Rose] has the ability to talk is because of the "Birthed" [Sovereign's Will] created from Shenzi's and Adria's love for each other.

I Have Even Read the Rulebook!
As all stories begin, Prof died. Yes, truck-kun had something to do with that, but also a bird, a cat and some rebar. When he was presented with with the opportunity in the Afterlife Administration Bureau to be transmigrated into a game-like fantasy world, he did something, no one ever did: he read the Rulebook. Follow Prof on his road to be rich without working, touring a whole new world without a care and witness his realisation, that despite having read the Rulebook the folks living with the System for untold millennia know more about the rules. Important notes: 1, I'm not a native speaker, so be prepared for occassional typos, iffy grammar and maybe awkward sentences. The spell check was running, when I wrote the chapters, but it works in strange ways... If you point out mistakes, I will try to correct them 2, Scheduling will be two chapters a week, posted Saturdays before noon (CET). Depending on how much new chapters I can write consistently there will be probably more but as long as I have leftover chapters, the two per week will be posted no matter what. Chapters will be around 1500-2500 words as MS Word counts it. 3, I did not and will not post this novel on another site, if you find it somewhere else, please inform me 4, The Main Character's progression is slow, there will be no Levels, Skills, Abilities, Feats, Perks and Cheat Powers raining down on him 5, I've put Comedy as a genre because of my writing style not because the novel is a comedy per se. On the other hand, Traumatising Content is there because there is a lot of speciesism - those Elves are not nice people. 6, I put a lot of pop-cultural references into the chapters, try to find them! Enjoy!

The Core of a Factory
An abandoned steampunk arms factory, in the middle of a conflict torn former state of the Empire it served, gains a soul. This transforms it into a Lord, capable of turning land into power. Beset by enemies on all sides it must figure out how to win the war its creators lost a century ago. This is a progressive Dungeon Core novel (which is to say the core will progress and expand in scale, eventually) across multiple dimensions with different characteristics (e.g. steampunk, magic, mythological). It has rationalist leanings (paragraphs of reasoning) and litrpg leanings (there are stat blocks). The core game mechanical idea is something like "what if different flavors of magic power actually did come from controlling land" and then the story is: "what if there was a flavorless (artifact deck) dungeon core". Chapters will be relatively short (my aim is that in three column format each would fit on a wide screen monitor), the first few chapters - setting up the main character and mechanics - are currently the longest in the entire series. I write chapters in blocks, and then release them one a weekday (M-F; 6 PM GMT, unless RoyalRoad's publish thing screws up) until I run out. There may be a few days of gaps here and there if someone finds an egregious error I have to re-write around or if I am behind. In general though one can read this once a weekend. I may do slight retconns and edits, I'll make sure to put it in an authors note if I do.

The image of Elvis flits through my mind and I swallow dryly. What on earth has happened? I look at the body beside me and my heart beats a few beats faster than normal. Broad shoulders, his back muscles clearly defined and pale flawless skin. His raven hair shines and the sun casts a soft light on his body. My fingertips begin to tingle. A feeling of re-membrance settles over me. My body remembers this man. But I don't know him.Smut and boyslove. Don't like it. Don't read it.The characters belong to Cassandra Clare.
