《My Inner Demons》Education (Ch14)
Advertisement
We walk out of the bathroom and I wait on the couch while Ava goes into the kitchen and appears to be making something. I decide not to question it and just wait.
Eventually, they come out of the bedroom, fully dressed. I clap my hands as they come out, "Wow! Turns out you guys do have a brain after all! Congratulations on figuring how clothes work!" I say sarcastically. Asch growls at me and I smirk at him. Annoying him is so easy to do, and surprisingly fun.
"Wow these clothes are light!" Noi exclaims, playing with the material of his shirt. He's wearing a backwards blue and orange cap, with a blue shirt and orange pants. Blue suits him pretty well.
"These feel like clothes a Daemos peasant would wear." Leif states as he looks at his clothes, he's wearing a white shirt, brown short pants with a green jacket thing. His shoes are odd, I believe Ava called them sandals.
"I don't like them," Pierce says disapprovingly. He's wearing a black shirt, only the shirt doesn't seem to have proper sleeves and black pants.
"Rightfully so, these clothes aren't fit for our kind," Asch complains and I roll my eyes. He's wearing similar clothing to me, he has a black and red striped shirt with a black jacket that's the same as mine and black ripped pants with similar black boots.
I asked Ava in the bathroom what my jacket was made out of and she said it was a leather jacket, I also asked her about the pants and she called them jeans. Mine are also ripped like Asch's and when I asked why she said it was the fashion with humans. Humans have some strange fashion.
"You guys are overreacting. I think they look fine." I say smiling slightly, I do honestly like how I look in my outfit. Even if it is similar to Asch's, I just wear it better. Obviously.

"Thank you y/n, honestly you guys should all learn a thing for y/n and learn to APPRECIATE free clothes." Ava scowls and I smirk at the others. That's right, I'm the sorceress's favourite what are you gonna do about it.
"Why didn't you two actually dress us? It was difficult to do it ourselves." Asch states angrily and I laugh at his childish stupidity.
"Aww was it too difficult for little Asch," I say in a baby voice laughing, he growls at me and I calm down a bit, Ava is in a good mood and I don't want to ruin it with fighting.
"Look, Prince Asch, you may not value your privacy when getting changed but I do. I was taught at school about privacy, manners, all that boring crap. And it's not considered... Well, normal, for people of the opposite gender to do what you requested." I explain to him and Ava looks over to me.
"You went to school?" She asks and I nod, "Not many Daemos get to go as education isn't valued there as much as fighting and magic. But I got requested by the school to go due to my natural behaviour to be a shithead and question anyone and everything. They for some reason liked that and I got a decent education, as well as being taught how to fight. Again, fighting is very important in Daemos." I explain and Ava nods, listening to everything I was saying.
"Well, I'm glad one of you went to school and know what manners are." Ava says happily, "Education is very much valued here on Earth. Every child from the age of 6 must attend 12 years of compulsory education, and then can seek more afterwards. Though our education system is flawed, it's still valued."

"That's very interesting, why is education valued so much?" I ask and Ava looks at me, "Well why is fighting valued with you guys?" She asks, "Well, survival." I explain and she nods in agreement, "Same here, survival. If you're educated here, you can get a job, earn money and live a good life well mostly. If you aren't it's very difficult to survive this world."
Ava walks over to the kitchen and starts to make something, "What are you making?" I ask and she continues whats she's doing.
"Mrs Oates asked me to make some PB and J's for her and I thought I might as well pack a lunch for us since I'm taking you guys out and I don't have any money," Ava explains as she starts packing the sandwiches into a box thing.
"Are you Mrs Oates pupil? You seem to do a lot of tasks for her," Rhys asks, coming into the kitchen too.
"No I'm her neighbour and she also pays me a bit of money for helping her out and since I don't have a job I do what I can. Plus I like Mrs Oates, even if she shared things with me recently that I don't want to know." Ava says awkwardly as she finishes what she is doing.
"Are we leaving yet?" Leif asks seeming inpatient. I am too if I'm honest, but I don't want to annoy Ava.
"I grow impatient as well... Where are we going?" Asch asks and I listen intently for Ava's answer.
"Long ago, before the reign of the internet, humans of our world would go out and enjoy the sun. The sun of our world gives us vitamin D. Which gives us the nutrients to be more powerful. Today, I will be taking you to the ancient ruins of the park. A place, where my parents would take me when I was younger to experience the world." Ava says in a stern and powerful voice.
"Ancient?" Noi gasps, seeming excited about the adventure.
"Yes, but they are mere ruins now. As humans rarely visit them." Ava says once again in a powerful and overdramatic voice.
"Because of the internet?" Rhys asks, "What's that?"
"That is will be a topic for another day. I'd like to introduce you guys to Earth slowly. Now you guys need to hide your horns. Once you've done that meet me outside. I'm going to give Mrs Oates the sandwiches I made for her." Ava explains leaving the apartment, I hide mine before turning to Noi to hide his.
"Thanks, sis!" He says messing with his hair to put it back into place.
"No problem!" I smile at him as I fix my own hair. Hiding my horns really makes me realize how messy my hair can be without them.

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers. I am working on it every day, so understanding would be greatly appreciated. The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx. This novel is a participant in The Writer's Pledge

There will be no violation (rape) scenes in my story. Rape, sadly, is part of our world with many culprits and victims and I don't accept to 'create' another victim OR culprit of such monstrosities, even if they are fictional. The story in general will remain on the bright side most of the time.

Good Guy Necromancer
Necromancers are murderous, repulsive, utterly ungodly creatures. And then there's Jerry. Jerry is a novice necromancer who treats his undead warmly, seeks to befriend people instead of harvest their bodies, and doesn't mind cracking a skull or two when needed. He genuinely is a good guy—too bad nobody believes him. Trying to discover his place in the world, Jerry will live great adventures. He will make friends, each unique in their own way, and together, they will travel through a variety of striking environments; from a tiny village, to the land of the dead, to a jolly archipelago, to a kingdom on a beanstalk. To save a world that shuns him, Jerry must stand against a large organization of arrogant, mighty wizards. He strives to become stronger while maintaining his kindness, only to realize that, maybe, gentle hearts make the greatest necromancers. This is the story of a delightful man in a harsh world—full of warmth, action, and wise-cracking bone puns. Chapters are usually 2-3k words, and updates are 3/week: Mon, Wed, Fri. If you're looking for another fun, action-packed adventure, check out Cultivator vs. System by yours truly, available on Kindle, KU, and Audible. But read Good Guy Necromancer first.
