《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.

8 122Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
8 168Mecha Dragons of Mars
It's the not-too-distant future and Earth is no more; the planet was accidentally blown up by explosives expert Cole Rapp after being deemed no longer habitable. Humanity (or at least what remains of it) has relocated to nearby newly terraformed Mars to try to start anew.Other than the recent immigrants, no signs of terrestrial life have been found on the fourth rock from the sun. But recent strange sightings and unexplainable fires seem to suggest that Earthlings are not alone. Could it be Martians, mysterious and hostile? Or is it something far more dangerous?

8 172Welcome to Devos
Welcome to a world where humor, drama, and action clash in epic tales spanning a vast continent....Welcome to Devos An anime styled medieval fantasy world featuring heroes, gods, and demons in a grounded and story/character focused series. A world where the gods of power bestow elemental abilities on those they find worthy. Welcome to Devos is broken up into parts, each part is more or less a complete story that expands the world, characters, and kingdoms of Devos. It plays out a lot like Game of Thrones where instead of a lead character you have an entire cast, each one getting plenty of time to develop over the course of the series. It is a relatively grounded, character and story-driven adventure that focuses on people of interest and their relationships with each other, their nations, and the eight gods of power. While the story features a good blend of light and dark themes it can get really grim at times. The continent of Devos is comprised of 5 territories, they include the three kingdoms of Verdun, Ashmir, and Vespa along with the territories of two demon lords to the north and south. The time period and setting are basically what you would find in a fantasy anime. There are eight gods of power which wield eight different elements and have the ability to "bless" individuals with certain abilities. Monsters roam the wilderness and the ruins/dungeons that are scattered throughout the landscape. Adventurers complete quests, hunt monsters, and explore the vast continent. We've got heroes, demon lords, gods, spys, special operations assault teams, phantom eagles, kings & queens, cursed chickens, talking goblins, and a whole shit ton more already in with plenty more coming soon.
