《Dark Lord》Chapter 40
Advertisement
Standing in a dark room, a candle flickered, brushing light upon the figure of a haggard man. That man's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had spent days awake. His eyes looking towards the coffin lying in the room, a figure laying upon it.
Suddenly, that man smiled, a crazy smile while looking at the figure in the coffin.
"He's back, he's finally back after so long. Now I can get my revenge, now I can personally destroy him using you. Years and years I spent trying to protect your body just for the sole purpose of using you against him. I waited twenty years to get my revenge, and now he's finally back. If only you were awake, you would protect him just like you once had. But you can't. Now, I have power over you, and now, I will use you to achieve my goal."
The man walked towards the coffin, gently retouching the robe on the figure's body, his face wild and crazy. As he stared at the figure, he wanted so much to destroy that body but for the sake of his revenge, he didn't do it.
It won't be too long, just a little more. A little more time and he should have complete control of that man, a little more time and that man will be his most loyal subordinate. And he will use that man to destroy the Dark Lord. He will use his only weakness against him, he will watch as that man die a horrible death knowing that the person who killed was his most dearest.
And he, himself, will laugh as he watch the death of the Dark Lord before sending that man to follow him in the afterlife.
It was a plan that he had made, carefully changing it for the last twenty years awaiting the return of the Dark Lord. Now, he will destroy him once and for all.

Ru Lian bowed down on the ground, her body heavy with wounds as she begged for her life.
"Please, let me go! I have done you no wrong, I am just a weak woman struggling to survive in this world. Please, let me go." She banged her head on the grounds, blood flowing down from the wound.
She didn't even know how she was captured, she just knew that she was going to die before she was able to kill that wretched prince who had betrayed her, stealing her child and then banishing her to a land unknown. If she died now, she wouldn't be able to make that wicked prince accompany her.
She had done everything for that man, she should be the one by his side. She should be the crown princess, she should be the next empress. She hated her mother and her father for giving birth to her. She never wanted such a poor life, she was suppose to have been born to a noble family, powerful and rich. She should be living in riches, not living a life with nothing.
It was all because of that wicked man. He had entered the prince's heart, destroying all of her hard work. It was because of him that she was pushed to the extreme, having to put the life of her child at risk. Everything was his fault, everything was the prince's fault for betraying her love for him. They were the ones who had done the wrong things, she was the right one.
She was the one who should have rose as a supreme being above everyone. Everything that she wanted should have been hers, everything.
"Do you want to live?" RuJin, smirked, his eyes peering deep into Ru Lian's soul.
"Please, immortal being. Please, let me go." Ru Lian needed to live, but, if she was able to capture this powerful man's heart, would he be able to take revenge for her? She suddenly smiled. Yes, she was beautiful, no one could resist her, he wouldn't be able to either.

"Please, I will give you whatever you want. I will be a slave for you, and if you want, I will give you this body of mine." Ru Lian looked up, her face softened with fresh tears. A blush appeared on her face as she reached towards the front of her dress, untying it to show her chest.
On her feet now, she got closer to him. Seeing that he wasn't making a move to stop her, she smiled. Of course, her body was enchanting, this man will be hers, this powerful man will be groveling for her, and will do anything for her. That was how the story was suppose to go, she will rise amongst everyone. Then she would get her revenge.
Ru Lian reached for his arm, but before she could touch him, she screamed.
RuJin peered back with cold eyes, staring at Ru Lian who was crying with pain as she grasped her bleeding arm.
"You wanted to seduce me? But it's a shame that only one person has my heart, and that person isn't lowly like you." RuJin's eyes got colder, the area surrounding him seemed to produce a dark, dangerous tension.
Before Ru Lian could say anything, she screamed once more. Her body began spurting blood, her skin began splitting itself apart, and her face began to melt.
"No!!"
As RuJin watched her, his eyes contained no feelings. He had no sympathy for such a greedy person, she was crazy and a lunatic. He would've given her a more peaceful death had she not try such a dirty things towards her him.
When her body fell at last, RuJin summoned a clasp of dark energy, sending it towards her dead body. The dark energy surrounded her for close to thirty seconds before disappearing, her body was gone and only a patch of bones were left remaining.
RuJin turned to leave.
No one else but ShuYan would be able to move his heart. No one.
Xi Yu looked carefully at the woman before her. She could've swore that she had saw her before. She looked like Jin, could it be possible?
She needed to try her luck. If Xi Yu was correct, this would be Jin's sister, the one that would protect him no matter what.
"You are Jin's sister, aren't you?" Xi Yu asked that woman after chasing her into a hidden place, away from other people.
"Who are you?!" Mo Xin turned back, taking a defensive stance.
"You are Mo Xin, you are Jin's oldest sister." Xi Yu said once more, this time, she was sure that her guess was correct.
"What are you planning to do?" Mo Xin looked at Xi Yu with suspicious eyes, unsure who this woman before her was.
"I am Jin's old friend, I'm looking for him so I thought you were to. You are trying to protect him, aren't you?" Xi Yu asked, seeing Mo Xin's face turn into relief.
"You are looking for him too, that means that I can trust you." Mo Xin knew that Jin wouldn't trust someone who couldn't be trusted. Plus, this woman before her didn't not have any malicious intentions, Mo Xin could tell from within her eyes that stared at her.
"I am Xi Yu. I know where he is, please, follow me. I know that this is sudden, I know that you think I will betray you, but like you, I want to protect him. So join me. Join me to find him, and to protect him."

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

Old Version - The First Magician
INDEFINITE HIATUS I always seem to make these too long when I ask for peoples opinions so I’m not gonna try an exciting description anymore but instead just give you an idea of what to expect. First off, this is my 2nd attempt at a story but my foundation for this one is much better than the 1st already and I see this going much further and so far its coming together much faster and easier. So please excuse me if things are not up to publishing standards. Also I tend to confuse your, you’re and so on so sorry to people that triggers ahead of time. The First Magician follows the story of 15 year old Alex in a post apocalyptic rpg-ish world in the near future. Earth was transformed, monsters appeared and people began being able to use Ki but could not figure out how to use magic. Alex ends up becoming the first human able to use magic through a series of events and sets in motion events that will change the very future of the human race. He will be somewhat OP simply because he is the only human (at least to start, who knows about later?) who is able to use mana. Many classic RPG elements have been removed. I didn’t want the story to be like all of the other lit rpg stories on RRL but it also makes the writing easier for me hence the watering down of rpg elements. UPDATES: I am doing this to relieve stress and for fun so I will release chapters when I can. So far though ive managed to keep up with 2 most days. CONTENT WARNINGS: There will be some light language but it won't be insane. I might have some gore later on but am unsure and the same for the sexual content. Sexual content isn't super likely as I doubt I can write it well but I put the tag so people cant yell about it if I add some in the future but forgot to add the tag. COVER ART: Yes it is from the anime Log Horizon. It is a good representation of what earth looks like despite it not being many years in the future. DISCORD: https://discord.gg/s6V3hGV

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 :)
