《Dragon King *FINISHED*》Chapter 8
Advertisement
As soon as he appeared the guards who were at the front gate were alarmed and raised their spears about to capture and question him on where he had come from before they fell to their knees from a strong pressure.
‘I don’t want any distractions while i am talking’ Marcus thought while looking at the guards.
Marcus used magic to amplify his voice before speaking. “I am Marcus and i will give you one month to release all of your slaves or else i will begin destroying the kingdoms on this continent until you do” After he was finished talking he disappeared leaving the people in the kingdom in confusion and panic.
Marcus went to each kingdom and gave them the same ultimatum before going back to Xiwen to wait the one month.
-AUDIENCE ROOM OF THE FIRST KINGDOM-
“What the hell was that ?!” The king was flustered and yelling at the people in front of him.
“It seems that a man just suddenly appeared in front of the gates guards and before they could do anything to him they were stopped by a suffocating pressure. The man then yelled out what we just heard before disappearing again.” An imposing man told the king.
“What the hell does he mean by free our slaves or he will destroy our kingdom ?” The king was fuming mad now. Someone actually had the audacity to threaten his kingdom.
‘Is our king really this stupid ?’ The imposing man thought to himself but didn’t dare to voice it out. “I believe he wants to free all of the slaves and get their goodwill towards himself so he can be seen as their hero and they will worship him as a god” That was the only thing the imposing man could think of about why the man who showed up at the gates would do something like this for those inferior beings.

“I want this man hunted down and brought before me so i can behead him myself!” The king had thought about how he would lose the trust of his people if he didn’t hurry and capture the man that threatened his entire kingdom so he began giving orders.
“By your will my king” The imposing man bowed a little before turning around and leaving to hand down the orders of the king.
‘I must speak to the people and calm them before they begin looting and destroying the capital’ The king thought to himself as he got up and walked towards the balcony.
-ONE MONTH LATER AND BACK TO MARCUS-
‘The one month is up so i should go and check to see if any of the kingdom’s have freed their slaves, which i doubt they have’ Marcus flew from Xiwen to the other continent and scanned it with magic to find out that he was correct. All of the kingdoms have gotten themselves ready to fight and kill whoever it was that threatened them.
Marcus was a little pleased at this because this means that he will be able to destroy a few kingdoms and teach these humans what it is like to be powerless just as they have done to the other races.
Marcus started circling around a decent sized kingdom that he didn’t care to remember the name of before teleporting ever race except humans out of it and onto the outskirts of the kingdom before shielding them.
He spoke in a magic enhanced voice. “You didn’t listen to me and now you will pay the price” The people were terrified when they noticed that everyone of their slaves just disappeared and then they heard that voice again which made many faint and others to pee themselves.

The army had just started getting ready when they noticed a bright glare coming from above them and when they looked up all they could see was a massive ball of light that was as big as the kingdom before it just falling towards them. The kingdom knew at that moment that everything was over and people just began to pray for their god to take them in after death.
Marcus watched as the ball touched the ground and then just disappeared only to see a crater. If he had used that magic how it is intended which is to explode and not just disappear then the world may have ended so he made absolutely sure it wouldn’t explode. Marcus then flew down to the confused people in outskirts that were terrified to see a dragon coming towards them.
Marcus landed and then changed into his elf form instead of his human one to at least try and put them a little at ease.
“My name is Marcus and i created a new kingdom in the forbidden continent which i named Xiwen. I have already taken the hidden villages of your races to the kingdom and they are living peacefully and happily. I plan to take you all there and then i will gather the rest that are in this continent before i take them back to Xiwen. After all of that i will teach all of you everyday skills to be able to live a good life and i will also teach you skills so you can protect yourself ok ?”
Everyone was staring at him and were shocked by his words. Some didn’t believe him while others were hoping it wasn’t a lie and that they could finally be free.
Marcus teleported them to Xiwen before destroying a few more kingdoms and then he used magic to teleport all of the races except humans to Xiwen. He followed after and then teleported the ones he had brought previously to show the new ones that what he had told them hadn’t been a lie.
This now started the years and years of training and acclimating slaves to a life of freedom which was not easy but with the help of those who could accept everything quicker to help those who couldn’t and then each of the races helped by teaching their skills to their own race which they never had a chance to learn as they were slaves their entire lives.
Marcus knew this would take a few generations to finally get everything settled how he wanted it to be.

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)

8 57The Going-Home Club
At Palomar High, every student is required to join a club. Neil Velazquez is an incoming senior at this school. From the basket weaving club to the humanist society, he coasted through junior year by lurking in such unrelated, nonserious, and low-commitment groups. He's not interested in participating in any activities. He could care less, and is just looking for a place to fulfill the requirement. He's panicked that all of the easy clubs are disappearing. That's when he stumbles across the "Going-Home Club". It's a club where nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. Vector Attribution: Building Vectors by Vecteezy
8 130On the Edge of Insanity
The infernal plane… an endless expanse of scorched land inhabited by countless monsters. Many controversies surround these strange creatures; however, one thing is clear. They are evil. Corrupted beyond measure. They tread with a singular purpose. One goal in mind, to banish the light. One day a man awakens to find himself in the infernal plane. Follow Allen, as he fights against all odds to escape a place never meant to be touched by humans. This is my first original story, and I’d greatly appreciate any constructive feedback. (No set schedule. Contains mild swearing.) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
