《Evil Cultivator》Chapter 1
Advertisement
The Sword Emperor, emperor of the Ashikaga empire, with his huge might and a majestic aura was giving a speech to an arena of millions of people while standing on a large stage surrounded by guards, consisting of both peasants and nobels, with him stood the heavenly beauty, the dragon empress and the envoy of Britannia.
Within the huge crowd stood a young peasant, his parents had been killed by rebels when he was 5, and he had since barely survived as a beggar, a large reason for his survival was with the help of the daily rations of the empire provides to its citizens.
The young beggar had always inspired to be like the emperor, he had indisputable respect for the emperor, maybe it was because of the food rations or the public execution of those rebels, or maybe the emperor's undisputed strength in the whole world.
As he listened to the speech, he gradually began to understand its content, The empire was planning to attack and absorb a kingdom on the northwest border of the empire, and even further expand the empire's territories.
But both the Tsar, mighty emperor of Rus, and the Leader of the heavenly demon empire had agreed to defend if the kingdom was attacked, Intense hate for both these figures grew in this beggars heart, especially the tsar, it wasn't just him but almost all of the people present here showed anger.
The speech lasted for a whole hour as both the emperor and empress talked, and it finally ended with the envoy giving a small speech encouraging trade between the empire and Britannia and how several more pill towers were going to be built in major cities of the empire.
As the speech ended and people dispersed to their normal life for these people War had become the norm, ever since the empress become venerable rank and the empire almost doubled its military power, the empire has been rapidly expanding its territories to the point the mighty powers of the world were putting up a coalition against the empire.

The current empire was the largest in the whole world, upheld by its 2 Supreme Venerable's, it stood as the mightiest military power in the whole world of Parthia.
"BANZAI!!" a roar rang from the crowd of millions as the speech ended and the emperor announced War.
As the young boy headed towards his home, not like he had an actual house, it was just a small street-side shack.
Intense emotions surged through this young man.
"When I reach 16, I can join the army and be a small part of the empire's eternal glory." He thought.
His eternal wish was to join the army and help glorify his empire, he was an extremely patriotic youth, maybe fueled by the emperor's recent speech, his desires were surging like fire, plus he believed if he went into the army, he would have a rather pleasant life.
As he reached his home he saw that the army was recruiting young cadets to fuel its manpower for the upcoming war, unfortunately, they never accept anyone under 16, so he didn't bother, although regretful he had no option.
Reaching his small shack, he busied himself to train his body, from his shabby clothes it might not seem like it but his body was rather well developed.
Time passed and the young youth had just finished his daily exercise, his whole body was covered in sweat, making it a bad experience for anyone but he didn't mind, he was used to it.
It was almost time for the daily rations, and he was just getting ready when suddenly a sharp pain assaulted his brain and he immediately fell unconscious on the ground.
Without even knowing, he had died, all his dreams and desires left unfulfilled, what kind of emotion would this young beggar have if he knew, disappointment, anger, or maybe peace, We shall never know.

Giantslayer
Synopsis: Alain is a fledgling Giantslayer, enhanced individuals capable of killing deadly giants. But these giants are not big, they are what ancient humans would refer to as mundane animals or beasts. 'The Final Curse' as many humans call it, was a curse that shrunk down the entire human population to the size of small rodents. When the curse first occurred, the majority of the human population was eaten by beasts who are now of towering heights and sizes. But their abandoned gargantuan structures were not built for naught, the remaining humans retreated back into their now giant buildings and rebuild societies and nations inside of them. Follow Alain in his quest to right the wrongs done to his past and hunt down the elusive and mythical Elder Giants, giants capable of intellects and speech. Are they real? Alain certainly insists so despite no one believing him. But perhaps it did not matter, they were real enough to him for what they did to his family. A/N: I'm pretty new to writing creatively so I hope to improve as we move along the story. The prose I use is still fairly simple and 'plain', but I am also new to literature in general so I am hoping to improve my vocabulary as well. It should also come under no surprise that I am a non-native English speaker and writer as well. With that said, I do appreciate constructive feedback. Please don't be overly mean at least. All the chapters are rough drafts that will be edited in the future. The cover is by this user from pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4545042
