《Siren's song》What... What is going on?
Advertisement
Me: ...
I was speechless once again. Like I found myself sitting at a chair and have this demon in front of me with huge eyes which were begging me to say yes. On top of that he just stood there watching me till I calmed down enough.
Sullivan: Be my grandson.
It wasn't even a question at all. He just came at me saying that. Now I was even more speechless. Did he know that I was a Siren? Did he took me away because of my voice. No wait. It couldn't be that since he said my parents sold me off to him.
Me: *sigh*
What did my stupid parents get me into?
This is... What is this even?
I am more than buffed!
Like what am I even supposed to say on that one?
He is a demon!
He can eat me up!
He can cook, roast and kill me!
Damn!
What in the world am I supposed to do?
Sullivan: I can understand that this is hard for you but I want you to know that I bought you because I want you to be my grandchild Iruma-chan.
Me: ...
Sullivan: Iruma?
Me: You for real?
Sullivan: Yes. I bought you to be my grandchild.
Me: Do you have any kids? I mean buying a grandchild is a bit...
Sullivan: I just want one soo badly.
Me: ...
Sullivan: Will you be my grandchild please?
Me: But why tho?
Sullivan: Well all my friends at the gathering are all talking about their grandchildren and I want to spoil one myself.
Me: .... Why me?
Sullivan: Because you are perfect.
Me: In what way?
Sullivan: You are not human to begin with.
Me: That obvious?
Sullivan: To most of the demons no but I do know about sirens so yes.
Me: Oh...

Sullivan: Still do not be discouraged. I promise you the best life you ever had. Otherwise I will eat you!
Me: ... ahm... do I have choice?
Really now?
Do I have one or not?
I mean he just said he gonna eat me?
I don't want to be eaten....
And I did enjoy my own life...
Why did it had to change at all?
I mean for real now why?
I don't get it at all.
Sullivan: Yes of course. I will let you decide if you want to stay here or not.
I looked at the man who was begging me to stay here. I would say if I didn't know it better which I don't that he was desperate. Somehow it did broke my heart seeing him like this. An old man who didn't want anything more than to have grandchildren without even a son. Who wouldn't want that at all in life?
A family did sound nice. I always wanted to have one but mine are well idiots and are not human like at all. They were more cruel than this demon when I was looking at them now. I mean my parents had the audacity to adopt me just to sell me off and make me work hard. Still who in the world sells their own child to be a prostitude and get basically raped?
NO ONE!
He doesn't look that bad...
I might even go with it...
I mean why not?
Yes I was a singer but if he is willing to protect me then why not...
I am sure I can find something to do here as well....
I just hope he will care for me till I die.
Am I to fast to decide this or am I just sick of my own life?

I am tired of always having to do something.
On the stage I feel alive and just me!
I wonder if they have a stage here....
If they have one, I'll say yes for sure.
Me: Ahm... is there anything I should worry or know?
Sullivan: Nothing at all. I will care for you as if you were my own flesh and blood.
Me: Is there a stage here too?
Sullivan: We do have something called devildol which basically is like a stage you were on.
Me: You think, I can get on there?
Sulliva: If you want too, then I'll see what I can do.
...
He would... I mean you would do that?!
I am in!
I don't care anymore!
If he is wolling to care for me and I can continue to sing which is more importantly, I don't care where I am.
I am in.
It might me nice getting spoiled for once.
I mean he did say he wanted a grandchild to spoil them.
Might be nice being here.
My manager is nagging at me all the time...
It's nice being on the stage but everything else... I don't know if it is really the life I wanted... It's kinda restricted.
BUT BETTER than what I was used too.
Compared to the hell I went though it's heaven.
Anyways, that's it!
I am in!
Me: Then sure. I would love to be your grandchild.
Sullivan: YES! Thank you so much Iruma-chan. You will not regret this. OPERA!
That was all he said before he screamed a name and before I knew it, confetty was all around me and another demon came in with a red cat tail and ears or was this hair. I couldn't tell and I wasn't that interrested in it.
Opera: Yes?
Sullivan: Get the room ready for my new grandchild.
Opera: It is already ready.
Sulliva: I love to hear that.
They both looked at me in a very kind way and I could tell I did a good decision. I had a feeling this might have been one of the best decision in my entire life.
Sullivan: Come on, let me show you your room.
That was all he said before the chair kinda started floating behind this man while he was walking down the hallways. You know... I could have walked behind or right beside him but nope. I was basically carried around like a king and it felt a bit too much.
Still he looked happy and since he was my new grandfather I was happy seeing him happy too.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.

The day they became Mortal
Paladins and Vampires have always been sworn enemies. While the Paladins were blessed with the power of Apollo, made to heal and to wield the power of light itself, the vampires were immortal beings with heightened senses, strength and speed. For centuries the two lived in general peace, while the paladins built their kingdom Appollis, the vampires resided in the sanguine lands of Sareth. All changed however when an unknown paladin poisoned the special water supply of the vampires with Blackrye, a plant that to the vampire's horror removed their right to eternal life. No longer protected from illness or the relentlessness of time the vampires were forced to indulge in more blood. Soon enough a war broke out between the two kingdoms, a war that would cost the life of King Barron of Appollis and the sanity of Queen Diana of Sareth. Their heirs were too young to ascend the throne, forcing the two kingdoms to hastily form a truce until both princes were old enough to rule their lands. Five years after the blood war Arrin of Appollis and Ophyr of Sareth rule their respective kingdoms, despite having been kings for a few years and heavily disliking each other due to their past, they decided to keep the truce in place. What happens however when Arrin decides to kidnap the vampire king after he unfortunately stumbled upon Appollonian terrain?

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
