《The Archdevil's Descent》Chapter 2.
Advertisement
Demiurge laid back in his fiery throne while his crystal orbs observed the surroundings.
The endless fiery domain left by no other than his creator Lord Ulbert Alain Odle, truly a masterpiece.
He could only guess as to why the supreme beings had abandoned them. Were they dissatisfied with their performance? But then why haven't they reprimand them? Any of the denizens of the great tomb would do anything in their power to please their masters, the masters' wishes were absolute, they would do as ordered that is how they lived. They lived only so they could serve.
Demiurge lazily glanced at the kneeling lords of sin. It has been too long… too long since the last supreme being had left, far too long without commands to obey…
Over countless years they had planned for a way to follow their masters, their creators, but they could not leave this place. The tomb was forever their prison, a place from where there was no escape. In fact, they couldn't even leave their respected floors, and thus all the meetings took place via {message}, though for the past decades Demiurge only joined a few times, those few very also spent with consoling the guardians. Aura and Mare, those kids never did grow up…
Demiurge had retired to his own devices in the past millennia.
Today was another ordinary day, just like before… but then he felt something that shouldn't be possible. He sensed the presence of an intruder, a human. Impossible. — He thought, as he felt the dusty gears turn inside his skull once more. It has been an eternity since anyone managed to reach this floor. He might have to fight. The exhilarating feeling — to do something for the supreme beings — had prompted him to move as he dived into the endless magma separating the area.

…
He didn't expect to hear that the human could bring him out. He had all but given up at this point, but he would humor the cattle. If it were a false hope, then he would make sure that hell would be a vacation the intruder craved above all after he was done with him.
He crafted a contract in a matter of seconds, which the mortal signed with rather brazenness. Maybe he didn't care? Oh. — It dawned on Demiurge. Of course… A mere mortal couldn't possibly read the sacred language of the supreme beings… Well, what is done is done, that was a tier 6 spell contract, so long as one party had enough magic resistance the contract's lash back would be nullified, so Demiurge could always just weasel his way out of it if the need arose.
He felt a strong pull on his being, a primordial force that couldn't possibly be the result of his contract, as he felt the anchors holding him to the tomb weakening, he broke out in mad laughter.
One day he would return, the seven lords of sin would do a good job in his absence, considering ever since the last supreme being's disappearance no intruder was spotted, other than this human… He was sure that his colleagues of Ainz Ooal Gown would be safe.
"I am coming, my lords I will find you. I swear."
…
He found himself standing in a dark room surrounded by humans. From the looks of it they were children. Demiurge let loose his demonic aura to gage their strength, underestimating an unknown would be foolish, and he was anything but. The stone floor cracked under him as a dark crimson aura surfaced, enveloping his body in a blazing inferno.
There was terror written all over the humans' faces, and oh how he loved that. Sweet, sweet despair! He missed it dearly, it has been far too long since he could torment humans.

He couldn't contain himself and let out a deep sinister laugh.
"HA-AHH-HAHA-HA-HAH-H-AH"
He adjusted his glasses after his sudden outburst, and let the words slowly slip off his tongue.
"Finally, I… am… free."
It had its desired effect, as the humans shrank even more under his gaze.
The form of the fiend continued to grow in their eyes as everyone present was crushed into the ground under the unearthly pressure.

Magic Apprentice
Legends speak of an era where demons and gods once lived with one another. Different in nature and identical in strength, the two co-existed peacefully together. That is, until the right to govern humanity divided them. The Glorious Crusade; as it became to be known, caused space and time to be divided and the world separated into differing realms. Human civilization rebuilt itself after thousands of years, and without the gods or demons, they became the masters of their world. Yet the gods and demons remain. Time and time again, the two have constantly attempted to breach the human world and regain supremacy—Elric, the son of a grocer, was born in such an era.

I am...*sigh* a speck of dust.
Hey, I'm...well, I'm not human anymore so I don't suppose that name matters. Anyway, just call me D. Why? Cause I'm dust. Not like, "Oh, no one notices me, it's like I'm dust in the air", but like..actually just a speck of dust. Nothing exciting going on, no action packed fights or cringey romances. Just...dust. I have a little system menu and everything, like all the 'OP' protagonists, but I mostly use it for the notes feature. Like right now. So, if anyone ever sees this, like, if the System stores it somewhere or whatever, just move along. Nothing special here.

The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
