《Demon Archon Of Naferanam》Chapter 17
Advertisement
Writer block is shitty. I'm having severe writer block towards my genshin story. Sorry about that.
When I realize that there are already so many events that I need to cover, only by that does my inspiration come again.
I will fasten the pace of the story, seeing that I need to cover for the Kasen event, Enkanomiya, Chasm event, etc. So I hope most of you didn't mind that.
Now, please enjoy this story~ And pardon this author for taking a very long time.

"How are you doing, old friend?" The lady with fox ears and wearing Miko clothes walk down from the shrine towards Camilla.
"Better now that I'm on vacation. I see you still doing your duty as a priestess? Try to hold on to that position in the name of the friendship?" Camilla said and the lady only laugh.
"You know the story, Milla. I can't exactly leave her alone after all this time."
"Yet, she is the one that decides to close her heart inside that stupid dimension of her. Acting like a child and throwing a tantrum. And now, the result of that tantrum is the so-called Vision Hunt Decree."
"Sound to me, you are the one that angry at her." Yae smirk
"Hmph. I didn't give the human a vision so she can take it away and put it on display like some antiques. So, excuse me if I feel a little irritated by that." Yae laughs at Camilla's remark.
"You didn't change much. Still the same Demon, I know. Tell me, what is the reason for your visit to Inazuma? Surely, you didn't come to fight with her right? Although, I must admit that is a tempting sight to behold."
"... I didn't have time, yet to do that. Maybe later, If I feel motivated enough. And I come here to accompany the little traveler."
"Ah... that traveler. No wonder you seem interested in her. I also would like to meet with her." Hearing Yae's words, Camilla only scoffs.

"I'm sure you already planned for that. There is only a matter of time." Yae and Camilla continue their talk under the Sakura tree. As time goes by and night soon comes. Camilla then looks at the sky far away and the thunderstorm in Inazuma.
"Something bothering you?"
"... It none of your concern, Yae. I just have a feeling that things will get interested very soon. Well, if this is all, I need to go to Inazuma City now. I can't leave those two children alone or else trouble will start brewing from there." Camilla said cooly and leave with no looking back. Yae just glances at Camilla back before sighing gently.
"You can say that Ei are acting like a child but I see that you also doing the same."
"I can still hear you from here, Yae!" Camilla shout.
"That is my intention!"

As I go down the step from Narukami Shrine. I can see Leif being surrounded by some guys and looking at the guy's eyes, I can see that they are drunk because of Leif's power.
"Lei. What did I say about using your power in public?"
"Sorry, Your Highness~ But I simply can't resist. Few of them are having quite a fine look. So I accidentally released my pheromones a little too much~" Said Leif with a wink as the guy dropped near him with hazy eyes.
"I guess a new lesson should be put on you after we return to Naferanam but before that... How long you gonna watch your guard falling down from a far, Mr. Kamisato."
Other men show up quite far away as he appears with grace. His eyes looked directly towards my eyes. Before letting out a little chuckle.
"My apologies. It's not my intention to spying on you but after my guards didn't return for a very long time. This one is tend to get curious."
"Cut the formalities, Kamisato Ayato. I know you have a business with me. It impossible that head of Yashiro commission will go out to meet with some unknown lady from a far." I said coldly.

"Oh? But I'm sure that your identity is not a mere unknown lady. Isn't that right?" He said with a cold smiling face.
"Think whatever you want. Now, I believe you already delayed me more than enough. Lei, let's go." As I want to walk away this man just swiftly blocked my path still with his smiling face.
"Now, don't need to rus-"
"If you have some business with me then hurry up. I don't have time for your game, Kamisato Ayato."
"Very well. My sister have already reached your other companion and try to convince them to help us with our problems but unfortunely, she is one hard to convince girl."
"So you want to convince me instead?" I ask bluntly. He smiled as if I already hit a jackpot.
I only look at his eyes before calmly saying, "This is your problem, right? It was your archon wishes that Vision Hunt Decree is been made. Humans didn't really have the power to go against the god wishes. The most you can do is try to convince her but even then your archon is pretty known for her tan- I mean her temper. If even the ordinary humans can't convince her all this time, what do you think a mere demon like me can do?"
"Really? Are you still gonna play this game? Oh, the honorable Demon Archons from Naferanam?" My eyes flash from gold to red as he says my titles. He chuckles when seeing that before crossing his arms.
"Beside of our Archons, you are not that discreet to appear in the public of your nation. Almost everyone demon can recognize you with your feature. As for me, you may not remember but I once go to Naferanam as a deligacy from Inazuma." He explained.
"Knowing my identity will not changed my answer."
"But why? Surely you have a power to convince Raiden Shogun to do that."
"Heh. If I really want to get involved to other nation affair then I will also played part when the Cryo Archon decide to create Fatui. We as an Archons agree not gonna involved to much towards each of nations affair. It's up to them on how to manage their own nation. As long as it's not gonna involved the lifes of our peoples or us directly. This far, I only see that the Vision Hunt Decree only happen inside of Inazuma. If that the eternity your god belief, the shouldn't you as her subject supported her through this?" I explain.
"... You do know the consequences of what happen to people that the vision have been take, right?"
"Everyone of us knows and your archon already makes her decisions. I would not get involved in this affairs as long as I could. If you still need some help, try to convince Lumine instead of me." I said before leaving him alone. Leif followed closed by and I can hear him whispering something towards Ayato before walking behind me.
As I predicted, by the time I arrive in Inazuma city, the situation is already been gloomy and everyone have been running towards the statue of Raiden Shogun have been built.
"Hurry, the ceremony will start soon. I heard this will be the 100th vision that they will taken."
"Oh my. I heard that this time, the housekeeper from Kamisato clan will be the one that have his vision seized?"
"This Vision hunt is getting ridiculous."
"Hush! Don't let anyone hear about that."
*sigh* What an interesting turn of events the moment I step inside the city. And somehow I have a feeling that I will get involved with the Raiden Shogun sooner.
"I really want to torture someone right now."
"Oh! We can turn back and have that Ayato guy as your-"
"Lei. Shut up."

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
