《The Devil's Parcel》Chapter 8: Surprise Visit
Advertisement
"Push" Lilith's doctor made it to her house to assist in Lilith's birth. The doctor was very respected in the country and one of the best in the continent, so needless to say, Lilith was in good hands.
In pain, Lilith said, "I am."
The doctor sees her progress, notices an ovular object is almost out and tells Lilith to "Push." With one final push Lilith lays an egg. Everyone looks at the egg with shock, and after a while, Lilith breaks the silence "Doctor, you can leave. And please don't tell anyone about the egg.". The doctor agrees to her request, gives her medicine, and then leaves. Lillia and Benjamin looked mesmerized at the egg, not knowing what to say or do, but regardless, they had to say something.
"You really laid an egg Lilith" Lillia was still shocked because she had never seen a dragon egg before. "We knew he was a dragon, but I thought only dragons laid eggs."
"Congratulations, Lilith," Benjamin hugs Lilith, virtually breaking all the tension everyone had. Lillia also congratulated Lilith on her 'birth' and decided to celebrate by having the capital throw a party celebrating the egg-laying.
"A party, really, Lillia?" Benjamin proceeded to scold Lillia for being so naive. "How am I being naive?!"
"Did you not forget that's a dragon egg? And if you did, then let me remind you it's a dragon egg."
Lillia and Benjamin kept bickering, and Lilith was getting annoyed in the middle of it. She was about to tell them off, but she noticed they were frozen; she looked around but noticed that they weren't the only frozen things. Lilith sets the egg down and looks outside her window and sees everyone, and everything is frozen from the tree branches to the people. "My My isn't he beautiful" Lilith turns around to see a man holding her egg.

"Who are you." Lilith was ready to attack but couldn't for the fears of damaging the egg
"There is no need to worry, Lilith; I just came to see Alastors child. Isn't he handsome"
"How do you know it's Alastor's child, and not to mention how do you know it's a 'he' "
"Come look at the egg. You can tell just by looking at the design of it."
"You still haven't answered my question. WHO ARE YOU."
"Arent you impatient? My name is Abel, and I have known Alastor ever since we were mere children."
"Abel..." Lilith was familiar with the name, but she didn't know where. "If you are Alastors friend, how come I haven't seen you."
"You see, I have been sealed away for quite a while."
Lilith remembers his name "Wait, didn't you fight against Alastor with Amaya, my father, and Samael."
"I did"
"If you were friends, then why would you fight him."
"We fought him because he lost control."
"Control of what? His mastery over his power has always been perfect."
"Indeed, he didn't lose control, but he was going to kill everyone."
"Why was he going to kill everyone."
"Because of you. Back then, you were by his side as his lover, but your kind didn't like that and tried to keep you away from him. You wouldn't listen, and they ended up trying to kill you, but they couldn't. Every couple thousand years, one of your kind is born with the ability to live forever and extreme magical abilities. This is the reason why your kind didn't want you to be with him. When they tried to kill you, he snapped. He slaughtered all six hundred million of your kind without hesitation. In the wake of the slaughter, we wanted to stop him, but he was too strong, and you tried to stop him, but you were nearly killed by him. After you were mortally wounded, the fighting stopped instantly. He saved you and erased your memories, and he ended up sealing me away."

"Why should I believe you."
"Because you have a scar under your left breast and on the other side on your back."
Lilith realizes he's telling the truth and asks him a simple question, "Why are you here."
"I came to deliver a message from Alastor. He says he's sorry he couldn't make it to his child's birth and don't free him from his prison until the time is right. Also, one last thing, Lilith, don't dwell on the past" Abel turns to leave. Before he does, he remembers something else "Oh yea, I also have a gift from him to you" Abel reaches his arm out. Lilith takes it, and with a surge of power entering her body, he leaves the egg where he found it and leaves.
All at once, everything unfreezes and returns to normal. The bickering continued until Benjamin and Lillia noticed Lilith wasn't there. "Lilith, where are you !"
Lilith was holding her egg on the roof of her house, thinking about what Abel told her. Lilith's emotions were confused. Can she really trust a man claiming to be Alastors friend? Who really is Alastor? Did he really kill her kind? All these thoughts were racing through her mind, and then she realized what Abel had just told her, "Don't dwell on the past." and decided to not take his advice.
Lillia and Benjamin found Lilith on the roof. "Oh, there you are, Lilith; we were worried about you."
"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about things."
The two noticed the change in her tone. "What happened, Lilith?" Lillia asked
Lilith sighed and told them about her encounter with Abel and what she was told, and endless to say, the two were worried about the implications this led to.
A minute passed before Lilith spoke, "There are way too many mysteries in this land, and I need to figure out what they are and why Alastor is in the middle of all of it."

The Only Real Cultivator
Vincent was relaxing in physics class when he and his entire class were teleported into a vast other world, where everybody called themselves cultivators and fought with magical martial arts. Vincent gained power over plants, allowing him to turn seeds into all sorts of vegetation. He ventures out into this new world filled with phony cultivators to set the record straight. He can make one declaration with absolute certainty, “I am the only real cultivator!” - You will see an overpowered main character with a cheat ability. You will see "comedy". You will see a normal guy who gets teleported to another world. You will see classic wuxia elements like Qi cultivation and alchemy. You will see grammar from a native speaker. You won't see a ruthless MC who kills everybody that offends him. You won't see harem. It's essentially everything I like about light novels, web novels, and wuxia all shoved into one story. If you’d like an unholy mix of overpowered main character, wuxia, fantasy, and LitRPG - give The Only Real Cultivator a try. 6/1/2020 edit: Some bloke plagerized this book and put it on amazon, titling it "Ancient Cultivator." tbh I'm kinda flattered that I'm worth plagerizing. Still, don't buy the book. The whole thing's available here for free.
