《An Enchanter's Tale》Chapter 58 - Untouchable
Advertisement
“Name?” The guard at the door asks.
“Siyu. You're expecting me.” Siyu says, standing before the Blooming Flower Cult base with Frey.
The guard checks his list and nods. “Come on in.” He says, stepping to the side.
Siyu lets out a sigh and steps forward to open the door.
What welcomed them was a raucous scene, of heavily muscled men and beautiful women, laughing and playing merrily. Sensual music played in the background as a lovely lady sang the crowd a tune. Drinking, gambling, and flirting could be seen anywhere one looked.
Siyu breathes it in, then walks to find the bartender. He needed a drink.
Frey watched the surroundings with much interest, his legs following.
Siyu approaches the bar but his anxiety suddenly began to rise.
Following distractedly, Frey accidentally bumps into a man. Intending to ignore it, he kept walking.
“Watch your step, trash.” The man calls out.
The young prince’s brows furrows as the words cross his ears. Frey turns around to look at the man. He was tall, beautiful and blonde. He was young as well. On a good day, that would be enough for Frey to brush the matter off, but the way the man said those words deeply irked him. It was as if he truly believed that Frey was below him.
As Frey continues to think of it, a vein begins to bulge on his forehead as his anger rises unimpeded.
“What the fuck did you say?” Frey calls out, his voice barely containing his anger.
The surroundings become drawn into a silence, as many spectator’s eyes observe the scene.
The young man smirks. “I said watch your step trash. Lowly pieces of shit like you aren’t even fit to clean my shoes; be grateful I left it at that.” He says, without fear, without hesitation.

Frey puts his hand on his sword, already prepared to act.
Suddenly, he feels a heavy hand press down on his shoulder, and a whisper in his here. “Hold.”
Siyu looks at the man, his anxiety far above what he liked to tolerate. Siyu didn’t know what he was looking at, it was just a man, but his anxiety would not lie, either this man was very dangerous, or to touch him would be a deadly pitfall.
Siyu takes a deep breath, attempting to calm himself, and speaks out, “Hold it in, Frey. For heaven’s sake, hold!”
Hearing Siyu dissuade him, Frey’s anger only continued to rise. Suddenly a flame burst into life on his hand, tightly gripping his sword. Frey presses his eyes close, his blood rushing and his veins pulsing. It’s almost intolerable… He thinks.
“Come on.” Siyu says, pulling Frey by his shirt.
The blonde man watches them go, his smirk still lingering. “Trash.” He says, spitting on the ground before taking his leave.
The pair arrive at the bar and Frey takes a deep breath. “Siyu. Who the fuck was that? If he simply be a man, I will strike him down next time I see him.” Frey says, holding down his pulsing anger.
Siyu watches the young man’s back as he leaves the building, letting out a sigh of relief when he was gone, before looking to Frey to consider his words. Siyu lets out a bitter smile. “I don’t know, Frey. But in this world, under the heavens, there will always be those who are untouchable. If you dare to stray outside your dharma and offend the heavens you may strike him down, but your soul would be doomed to hell.” He says with a shake of his head.

Frey considers his words and takes a deep breath. “Fuck, I want to kill him so bad.” He says with gritted teeth.
Siyu lets out a laugh. “He was pretty.” He says with a smile.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
