Ophelia, Rias's older sister was going the visit her at the ORC along with myrtille and this was a day she was looking forward to for 2 weeks due to being busy at home and will be staying in the human world for 6 months to spend time with her sister and her friends.
She would be staying at a mansion her parents bought for her whenever she decided to visit Rias.
Ophelia was awoken by a bright light in her room, she opened her eyes to see myrtille opening the curtains letting the fake sun of the underworld in her room
"Rise and Shine my lady," myrtille said gleefully
"Morning myrtille," Ophelia said rubbing her eyes
Ophelia got up and walked to the table where myrtille had put her breakfast, she sat in the chair and started to tuck into the meal that was prepared for her
"Any news on the Dead bandits?" Asked Ophelia
"No Lady Ophelia, but some people have Concluded that A wild beast or The Vampires were responsible," said myrtille ironing Ophelia's outfit
"Vampires?, haven't met a Vampire before have you met one?" Ophelia asked finishing up her meal
Ophelia walked behind a curtain, to change out of her sleeping clothes
"No I have not my lady," said myrtille looking at the ground sadly
myrtille quickly snaps herself out of it
"Oh and Lord lucifer wishes you luck on your visit," said myrtille
"How very nice of My Darling brother," said Ophelia finishing getting dressed
"What do you think?" Asked Ophelia spinning around
"You look wonderful," said Silane
"Aww thank you," said Ophelia
"We'll time to go," said Ophelia going to leave the room with myrtille
Ophelia and myrtille head down the hall in the gremory mansion owned by Ophelia's family
And they soon bump into a very large breasted woman with flaxen coloured hair and violet eyes
"Ophelia I wished to say goodbye before you go," said The woman with Flaxen hair
"Thank you mother," said Ophelia embracing her mother
"How long will you be gone?" Asked Venelana
"I'm going to visit Rias for 6 months along with myrtille," said Ophelia
"Oh I'll miss you," said Venelana looking Sad
Ophelia hugged her mother and Venelana seeing this rested her head on Ophelia's shoulder
"That reminds me of you meet any handsome boy do introduce me to them, I want to make sure they're right for you," said Venelana making Ophelia blush slightly
"M...mother," said Ophelia
"What I know you like the dangerous types just like I did," said Venelana looking at Ophelia with a smirk and one eyebrow raised
Ophelia was slightly annoyed by Venelana teasing her

"You must be off soon, I can't wait till you get back," said Venelana giving her a one kiss before walking away
Ophelia said goodbye to Venelana before leaving and Ophelia prepared a magic circle for both her and myrtille
They both stepped into the magic circle and were transported away to the human world
As Ophelia was away for her visit, Jared was out at night along with Isabella on the hunt for a Stray Devil that was causing the murders of the Town of Kuoh
Jared was unusually Silent as both he and Isabella walked through the dark alleyways and streets
"Your Quiet Tonight Jared," said Isabella trying to break the silence
"I'm concentrating," Jared said in response
"On what?" Asked Isabella
"Searching for Strays" Jared replied
Jared continued to search for a Stray to kill but after a while, He smells the sweet scent of fresh blood on the air which can only mean one thing
A stray Demon has killed a human
Jared and Isabella then race towards where The scent is coming from and arrive at an old storage warehouse on the edge of town
They open the doors to the building to see a large demon feeding on corpses of humans
The beast smells The pair slowly turning its head with parts of flesh still hanging from its mouth
"Ah Fresh meet," says the creature in a raspy voice
Jared drew his sword "Kinslayer" and point the tip of the blade at the demon tilting it slightly so it catches the moonlight which casts light on Jared's Scar
"Tell us monster why have you done this" Isabella Demanded to know
The Demon snarls at him
"Your both Not Human are you?" The Demon asked Growling and sharpening its claws on the wall
"no..." said James as his sword is covered in Red Lightning
The Demon let out a demonic laughter
"Your not a full devil either are you?" Asked The Demon
"Enough Talk monster let's finish," Jared said before taking a stance
"You know we aren't so you and I," said The demon
"What?" Said, Jared
"We are monsters you and I, I can smell your rage, hatred it is exquisite," said the demon
"We are nothing alike," said Jared
"That I'm not so sure, but tell me are you ready to meet your fate," said The demon getting ready to charge
Jared nods, and the demon lets out a large roar before Charging at the pair, but they dodge out the way Jared look at Isabella and Tells Her ready herself as she summons Void Magic in her hands
The beast readies itself once again summoning a fireball in its mouth before firing

Jared Draws its fire before ducking just in time for Isabella to fire a volley of Void Magic at the demon
The Demon to transfixed on Isabella takes a swipe but Isabella quickly disappears through a portal
The demon readies itself for an attack but looks around to see no one it looks around the room before being hit by Isabella using claws made of Void magic to slash at the demon taking it by surprise
Isabella appears and attacks the demon before disappearing using her magic
"Is this all you got, I must say I am disappointed I thought strays were supposed to be strong but you're pathetic" Isabella taunted the demon with a smug grin
"I'LL SHOW YOU THE MIGHT OF HELL AND WIPE THAT GRIN FROM YOUR FACE, said the Demon who glowed a fiery orange before two Blades of fire emerged from his arms
At this point, Jared entered the Fight and Fired a volley of his Red lightning at the Enraged Demon wasn't paying attention
(Imagine it Red)
He fired them at high speeds, shooting through the air they impacted the Enraged Demon blowing half the roof of the Warehouse off
Then Demon charged Jared and swiped at Jared once the Demon reached him with a look of fiery rage in its eyes
"I'LL EAT YOUR SOUL!!!" Shouted the Demon
"Hmph" Jared Sighed
Jared Grinned at The demon delivering a backflip Kick to the Demons Jaw and deliver a powerful Wave of Red lightning at The demon sending it flying back through the wall and into the next drop off area of the warehouse
The Demon gets up from the rubble seeing a huge burn mark on its chest, Jared seizes the opportunity and when its guard is down Dashes forward towards the demon and chops its arm clean off with a single swing of Kinslayer
The Demon then Roars in pain before stumbling backwards on one knee, Jared has defeated the Demon, with little effort pointing his sword at The Demons Neck
But The demon has other ideas and slashes at Jared but he narrowly misses and he jumps back allowing Isabella to fire a Void arrow tethering The Demon by anchoring his arm and legs to the ground keeping him in place
Jared slowly makes his way to the Defeated Demon
He then looks upon the Defeated demon, but The Demons time has run out and Lightning Surges up and down his arms
He turns it to ash in seconds as the Screams are drowned out by silence as the demon ashes scatter in the wind
Jared looks at the ashes before scoffing then turning to motion For Isabella to follow him and she nods in response then the pair leave the warehouse on their way home
Meanwhile, Ophelia and Silane arrive in a park in Kuoh with the night-time sky above them with
"It's cold, don't suppose you have a spare coat Silane?" Ophelia asked Silane for a coat
"Of course my Lady," said Silane handing her a fur coat
"Very kind of you Silane" Ophelia smiles warmly at Silane who returned the smile back
"Now where is This home My Loving Father told me about," said Ophelia looking around the place
Silane pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket Which has An address on it
"Ah here I have an address shall we get going" Silane Asked
Ophelia nods and they walk to a very posh and high-class neighbourhood in Kuoh, with beautifully built houses fit for nobility
"The Craftsmanship in this Neighbour is excellent," said Ophelia admiring her surroundings
Silane pointed out the Mansion Ophelia's father bought her for the visit
"Oh my...it's beautiful," said Ophelia In awe
"Let's get inside my lady," said Silane holding her bags
Silane Put the bag on the floor one she stood in from of the door to open it, once opened she entered the mansion with Ophelia right behind her
"I'll take these upstairs miss and you stay and make yourself comfortable," said Silane
"Want me to help" Asked Ophelia offering to help
"Oh no Lady Ophelia I'm alright," said Silane smiling
Ophelia nodded looking around the bottom floor to find a kitchen, a dining room and the main room, But then she heard a knock at the door which she looked out the peephole to see Her sister and peerage
"Mother must of let Rias know where I'm staying," Ophelia thought to herself
Ophelia opened the door and Rias Hugged her instantly taking Ophelia by surprise
"Ophelia I'm glad you could make it," Rias told her
Rias hugs Ophelia
"I'm glad to how are you?" said Ophelia
"I'm doing great, Oh there's something I'm wondering" asked Rias
"What is it," Ophelia asked putting her coat
"Do you want to join us on Stray Hunting Tomorrow morning?" asked Rias
Ophelia pondered for a bit before coming to a decision
"sure once I've settled," said Ophelia crossing her arms
Rias smiled and her answer, but before she left she forgot to introduce Issei and Ophelia
"Oh, big sis I forgot to introduce you to someone...This is Issei my new pawn and The Red Dragon Emperor" Rias introduced Issei
Who looked at Ophelia up and down
"Woah your hot," said Issei with a drooling expression
"Umm...nice to meet you...issei," said Said holding her hand out to issei which he kissed
"Nice to meet you too" Issei winked at Ophelia
"I'm...well it's sure nice to see you all again but I must get settled, I'll see you all tomorrow," said Ophelia

Goblin Artist
Cover Art by the talented SocS (https://www.royalroad.com/profile/84137) Even if I grow in strength and somehow avoid dying during a hunt or some moronic tribal war, how long can I really expect to live? Twenty years? Ten? Is this my fate? To struggle to survive every day, only to die after a dozen odd years? Rhys awakes to find himself trapped in the body of a young goblin. In his previous life he was a successful artist, but now he faces a strange new world reduced to the most pitiful of dungeon dwelling monsters and with no survival skills to aid him. His only hope comes from a single sentence he hears during the advancement ceremony: “Some attributes exceed the limits of the current race.” Now his goal isn’t just to survive. He will push through the boundaries of his species to evolve further. The path ahead is long and arduous. Especially for a young goblin trapped in a small dungeon of a dying town. In order to succeed, he will have to forge bonds with those around him and rise to the challenges waiting for him. But will stepping further into the path of a monster really bring him closer to regaining his lost humanity?

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
