"Heh, you are just like me, lad. Traveling around while searching for something new, Haaaaa... But anyway, Gabriel, I need you to go to the Capital City."
"Huh? Why?"
"To register yourself as a noble of course, While you already have an ID, you still need to go to the Dragon Peak City, which is the name of our Capital and go to the Prime Minister office, then he will give you the paperwork."
"UGH, Paperwork..."
"I know, lad, I know."
"Anyway, how long is Dragon Peak City from here?"
"Follow the main road to the North. You will arrive there in 1 week if you on foot, but you will arrive there in 3 days if you on a horse."

"Thank you."
"No problem, Now enjoy the Party."

"I see, Thank you."
"Think nothing about it, lad."
"Then, I will go now."
"Be careful out there."
Gabriel then walks outside the Adventurer Guild and go to the Armor Shop where he greeted by the same dwarf from his earlier visit.
"Hello"
"Ahhh, Gabriel the Red Saint, What can I do for you?"
"You know?"
"Heh, every person inside the City knows about you, lad."
Gabriel blushes a little at the news, before saying.
"Anyway, Nusas, I just want to inform you that I want to cancel my order from before."
"Why?"
"I got myself some decent armor that fulfills all my need at the moment."
"I see, but I won't Return your money because I already created your armor."
"Ahhh, it's okay then."

"Thank you very much."
"Think nothing of it, and this is the reward for your help in the Monster Wave."
Gabriel then walks to the Inn and say his Goodbye toward the Innkeeper who give him a Launch Box for his Journey to the Capital City.
After arriving at the city gate, Gabriel greeted by the Guard who walked toward him and said.
"Gabriel sir, Thank you for healing me, if not for you I will never be able to walk again."
"Think nothing of it; I'm just doing what is right."
"Thank you once more, sir"
Gabriel then walked outside the gate and continue to walk to the north following the main road to Capital City. As he walked for about 30 minutes, Gabriel hears a scream coming from the distance, so he began to run toward the scream location. After running for about 3 minutes, Gabriel able to see a group of people surrounded by 30 Orcs and 50 Shadow Wolf.
He then began to summon his Sword Projection and launch it toward the Orc, who died instantly. He then began to kill the other Enemy with his Sword and sometimes using his Biological power; after fighting for about 10 minutes Gabriel and the people that get attacked able to kill all the monster.
After the monster has been slain, the carriage that gets attacked gets opened, and from the carriage coming out, a little girl who is crying her eyes out while saying.
"Please save my Daddy. Daddy is bleeding. He... he..."
Gabriel then walked past the little girl and slowly reaches the Man that has a massive wound on his chest, his power informs him the man's heart is stabbed a little and only have a little time left.
He then quickly use his power to close all the man wounds before purifying all Dark magic that residue inside the man-body. After a few seconds, the man's breath began to calm down as the man's face color began to back to normal.
"Is Daddy, Okay?"
"He will be okay."
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Promise?"
"En, I promise."
"Thank you."
"It's no problem, anyway, what is your name, little princess? my name is Gabriel D'Arc."

The Badboy Prince Just Can't Resist
"Why are you so nervous?" "I'm not.""Your pupils dilate every time you look at me. What are you so worried about, sweetheart?" He asks me, his warm breath fanning my ear. I rolled my eyes, and he took that as a response. "Why are you so afraid of me, Annalise?""I'm not," I repeated in a firm tone, trying to stop my body's temptation of leaning into his touch. "Then why can't you think properly while so close to me?" Damien's lips were now grazing my ear. His strong arms expertly pull me in, arms crossed around my waist ready to spin me back out. I despised the way he made me feel when we would dance, as if I liked being under his lead- it infuriated me. "I can think just fine." I spin myself back out, trying to take control. He chuckled,"This is why I find you so intriguing. You want to resist me, and I haven't found somebody like that before. It's quite frustrating, having someone who doesn't bend to my will."The nerve of this man!I scowled,"I'm not just going to follow your every command. Being a Prince doesn't mean you gain-""I could give you anything. A title or land, and any other girl-""I'm not just 'another girl' who will bend to your standards. I don't have time to pamper your ego as if you own the school.""In fact, I do. Thank you for reminding me sweetheart, sometimes I forget." Arrogance laced his tone, sending my fury into overdrive."I am nobody's sweetheart, especially not yours."His laugh sent vibrations through my body,"You have never failed to amuse me. I think we should get to know each other better." I felt his lips against my ear curl into a sly smirk.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Cover by @afranticdreamer#4 romance #1 royal 9-29-2020#1 kingdom 3-30-2020#3 king 4-3-2020#1 princess 4-13-2020#1 new 5-14-2020-All rights reserved -Kick back and enjoy a book with a little bit of mystery, magic, humor, and don't forget romance

Graphomurk
The gods play with the fates of people through their incomprehensible games. And what about you? Are you caught as well in the steely trap of destiny? Are you a pawn? Queen? Or maybe a future player? And what is the meaning of the game? What are millions of universes created and destroyed for? You will have to find out for yourself... The author himself is lost. There is no story, no leading idea. There is only the infinite bending of everything and anything in the name of the triumph of meaninglessness. The author just pours endless streams of graphomania on the mind of careless readers. Beware! Graphomurk! *** This is translation of Russian.

Dawn of the Epoch
Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges.Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain.Testimonials:"Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!"- Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader"This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise."-IridescentLies, Wattpad Readerhttp://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com
