《Journey Of Destruction》
Chapter 0: Prologue
"I told you the map was for real james,If you didn''t come with me at the last moment you would have missed out on all these treasures!",said a 20 year old looking youth in thin leather armour to a middle aged man dressed in the same manner as him,"Oi Ryley I don''t think is such a good idea,We''re only D ranked adventurer''s....Isn''t this too much for us?,After all you got that map from a senile old man." Hearing this Ryley snorted,turned around and glared at James "Bastard! I had the generosity to share this map with you,You still try and back out now!?!?"
Recently Two D ranked adventurers James and Ryley happened to be drinking in a tavern together when a beggar like old man made a noisy entrance going on about how he found a demon''s tomb.The people in the tavern stared at this man blankly as if he was spouting gibberish.This was to be expected,As how could a demon be in Krasend,The Ever developing Kingdom of Humans that would not allow even a single demon to cross their borders,Let alone a Tomb of one,Hence this old man was simply seen as senile.Yet this man continously raved about it and had the audacity to bring out a map,Ridiculous!
Just when the tavern owner was about to kick this troublemaker out,Ryley hurriedly got up,grabbed the old man and scurried out of the tavern as if he had just heard his wife was pregnant.James sat there dumbfounded at first but hurried after ryley as he knew ryley must have believed in the ravings of the old man.
Hoping to stop his partner from making a grave mistake,he rushed over only to find ryley studying the map outside the tavern with the old man nowhere to be seen....Seeing this James face darkened."Ryley you damn idiot,How could you let yourself be scammed like that!?!" Actually James wasn''t really angry at Ryley,This duo were only D ranked adventurers and had Been stuck at D rank for 2 years.Ryley would jump at an opportunity to break to C rank.Even as ridiculous as it sounded,A Demon''s Tomb usually contained treasures and all sorts of Weapons,If the almost non existent chance that this map was Real.Then forget about C Rank,B rank would be simply too easy to reach!Ryley realized this and jumped at this opportunity.By all means Ryley wasn''t an idiot at all,He knew even if it wasn''t fake,The risks would be incredibly high as a Demon Tomb to actually exist in Krasend had to be the tomb of a Powerful Demon,not to mention heavily guarded.Nonetheless Ryley had been living as lowly a D ranked adventurer for Years now.He would rather die than continue to live in shame and mockery by higher ranked Adventurers.
He also had predicted james reluctance which only further strengthened his resolve."I won''t force you to go with me,This is akin to a suicide mission but i''ve decided either go with me on this suicide mission and get to share the loot or Stay here and be forgotten as i ascend to a A ranked Adventurer after I succeed."James bitterly smiled as he remembered his reluctance to go on this treasure hunt.They had neither run into any demonic beast,guardian or any sort of danger when they entered this underground tomb.Currently they were standing in a dark room,lit up by the torch in James hand.They were surronded by all sorts of gold and jewelry!While Ryley grabbed all he could to Store in his inventory,James face suddenly became pale,Ryley noticing the tension and eerie silence traced where james eyes were staring,What he saw left him dumbfounded..
At the back of the dark room were two peerless beauties,Both of them had perfect hourglass figures,The beauty on the right had Blue hair to her shoulders with what seemed to be an icy cold temperment and expression.While the one on the left had a fierce and sinister expression and long messy black hair that reached her waist.But what both scared this duo was that these two peerless beauties were demons..And they both seemed to be alive,unconscious but alive!"Inspect" Ryley whispered scared silly he might wake them up.

Seeing all the Unanswered parts of their status,Both ryley and james realized they were existences not to be trifled with,But why where two powerful comatose demons in a tomb for the dead.As if to answer their question their gaze landed on a black coffin right between the beauties.The duo noticed a change in the two ladies that made them freeze up.Initially the two beauties had their eyes shut,and were not moving resembling two priceless puppets with their strings cut,but suddenly the beauties
BOOM
"WHO THE FUCK DARES DISTURB MY RESTING PLACE"An immature and childish yet intimidating voice filled in the room...
Chapter 1: Awakening
Ryley didn''t bother staying there any longer as he knew standing there would be courting death.He turned around and made a dash for his life,But the hope of escaping with his life was short lived as before he could even reach the exit,his head was rolling on the floor as his body slumped down.His rolling head revealed the eyes of a man unable to discern how he died.James had the bad luck of witnessing such a grotesque scene up close,he restrained his urge to spew out his lunch and hurriedly prostated himself before the coffin not daring to look anywhere else but the ground.
"My lord i beg for forgiveness,please spare this insignificant soul" said hoping flattery would appease this demon.However he knew himself he would not leave this tomb alive.However its simply human nature to cling to life even though it is futile.
"Hahaha,You''re smarter than your other friend human,If you had attempted to make a miserable attempt of escaping your head would have rolled on the spot,however flattery won''t get you anywhere" A childish voice said.It seemed as if his words were flying right into his ears,james could not help but cower in fear.He wondered who this demon was and why he sounded so young.Raising his head slowly he gave a quick glance at the mysterious demon.
As soon as he looked upwards james felt feelings of humiliation and anger.He was begging for his life,grovelling towards a child...And a flower boy at that.What bullshit was this!?!?
Even though james is only a D ranked adventurer he has at least some portion of pride and self esteem.James could gurantee if there was a ranking for the most beautiful and sexually confusing flowerboy''s this demon would be at the pinnacle! A child that seemed to be at the age of 10,White Woman like hair down to his shoulders,eerily black eyes,a face seemed to crafted by the gods personally,And the height of 120cm.Even James could not help but be enchanted by such a sight before quickly regaining his wits and previous anger.Although he felt humiliated he knew,this flowerboy was not an existence to be trifled with. "My lord may i ask you for your name"
"Hmm......Sure.remember it well human,My name is Theron",said the demon child rather arrogantly."
"Master there was no need to introduce yourself to this bug,as it will not leave here alive." said a sweet yet cold voice.Hearing this James felt a chill down his spine.Is this really the end,james wondered.he quietly whispered

Seeing this James felt his limb''s become powerless and disabled only to realize he was lying in a puddle of his own blood.His body steadily became cold and his soul utlimately snuffed outIf you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
"Humph,A human dares try to see through me,What a joke." said theron coldly.I don''t get it,Multiple humans have intruded into my resting place before,Yet i never awakened..Why now.Theron turned to face Alice and Helen,his father''s most trusted general''s.The Ice queen and the Barbarian,A duo that were household legends among the Demon Kingdom Vazum.The two noticing his gaze towards them both bowed and simultaneously said "Welcome back Master."
Before Theron could reply,he found out the reason for his awakening..
|
You have been selected as one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Awaken O Sinner of Wrath
|
|
Dark God Of Chaos Nyarlathotep Has Chosen you as her Sinner.
Do you accept? [Yes] [No] |
[Yes],Theron agreed readily without a shred of a hesitation,A dark god personally taking you into their faction even after birth not to mention as their personal sinner,such an occurence was unheard of.The moment theron agreed,he blacked out.
Theron slowly opened his eyes to find a tall woman with black hair in a pitch black one piece dress with azure slit eyes standing less than a breath away from him.Startled by her sudden appearance he instinctively jumped back. "Are you nyarlathotep?",theron asked.As if she hadn''t heard what he asked she replied with another question,"Has anyone told you that you really look like a female,Not that i dislike it those are my favorite type of boys after all..." Nyarlathotep said as she seductively licked her lips.
Theron frowned as he heard this,before he could retort he found himself in a tight embrace."Kyaaaaaaaaaah! So cute i definitely made the right choice choosing you" Nyarlathotep exclaimed as she hugged theron tightly as if she was afraid he would vanish the next instant."You''re mine now~,All mine,my little sinner" she said in an eerily obsessive way.
"I''ll help you if you help me,Well then how about it my little Theron"

The Roles of Gods and Goddesses
Gods And Goddeses
In the continent of Ezanel,Countless Gods.Goddesses exist,and deities alike.Although such powerful beings exist some of them tend to be reclusive,or completely hidden and unknown.
However there are two types of deities,The Dark Gods and The Holy Gods.The dark gods were said to have created the dark elves,demons and beastmen and other races they created have been regarded missing or extinct. while the Holy gods were said to have created Elves,and the humans and have hidden exeptionally powerful races.The dark gods and holy gods are also believed to have a mutual hatred for each other.
When a child is born there is a chance they may become a representative of a god if chosen.If they are selected by a Holy God then, they will be hailed as a hero,If they are chosen by a Dark God then,they are hailed as a sinner.Only 7 Heroes and 7 sinners can exist at once.Once a hero is found they will be gathered and groomed by the holy church to battle against the sinners.Likewise for the Sinners but they will be groomed by themselves or the Dark Church.
Dark Gods may only choose a sinner among the beastmen,demon''s,dark elves and other races they may have created,While Holy Gods may choose among the humans,elves and other races they have created.
Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.In total there are 4 major deities that have the most influence and largest following:
Razen The Dark God Of Judgement
Ephel The Holy Goddess Of Space
Kafe The Dark God Of Fire
Davem The Holy God Of Conquest
Of course becoming a hero/sinner and representative of any of these deities will help obtain a leading position in the team of the 7 heroes/sinners,Blessings and Social Status.
Even though these four powers may have the largest following,this does not mean they are the Strongest.As The number of believers you have does not affect the deities power.However this does not mean these four powers are weak either as to garner such a large influence,The ability to interfere in matters of the mortal realm is neccesary.
The stronger the gods are the easier, it is to bestow stronger blessings,and accomplish trivial matters such as giving villagers a good harvest in order to obtain more followers.
It is not known how gods decide amongst themselves as to who can select a specific sinner/hero.
Chapter 3: Perverted Granny
"Aren''t You too childish to be a god" Theron asked while being suffocated by Nyarlathotep''s..watermelon like chest.
"Don''t be like that theron~,I''ll have you know im very mature when i want to be,plus from what i can remember i should be around the age of 708,300,Thats pretty old for a Dark God."
"Right...Let me go already"
"Oops my bad." Nyarlathotep reluctantly let go of theron,but not before taking a quick lick of his cheek.
"Mmmmmm,Now what do you say to my offer?"
Hmmm.Why does she want me as a sinner,Im sure they are plentiful of demons and other dark races that i don''t know of that are stronger than me.Not to mention i''ve never heard of the Dark Goddess Nyarlathotep,However the fact she was able to select a sinner show''s shes not to be underestimated.
"What do you mean by help you,what exactly is your objective and why choose me for it"
Nyarlathotep''s usual playful expression became one of anger and coldness for a brief moment,only to return to its original state as she gave out a hollow laugh.
"You ask too many questions Theron,however since you''re going to become mine soon enough i''ll answer the 2nd question." Nyarlathotep slowly retorted as her voice increasingly became colder.
"Its simple,my objective is t-
Inside a dark room two beauties were kneeling beside an unconscious androgynous child.
"Hey Helen when do you think master is gonna wake up" a red haired beauty said to the blue haired beauty beside her.
"I do not know" Helen coldly remarked
The red haired beauty didn''t seem fazed by her cold attitude,but as if she was accustomed to it.
"Got any idea as to why he''s unconscious"
"No."
Hearing this Alice''s eyes lit up in an ominous way.
"Maybe he fell asleep again and needs a...k-ki-ss to wake him up.." said Alice in a flustered manner.
Helen''s ice cube like expression twitched as she stared at Alice in awe as if worshipping her for a great idea.
"I agree" Helen readily said
Suddenly a violent aura began to swirl around the two beauties as they stared each other down resembling two beasts fighting over a piece of meat.
"Im sure master wouldn''t want his first kiss to turn him into an ice block,so why don''t you leave this to me Helen"
"And im confident master would not want his first kiss to be from a frivolous and shameful woman as well"
Hearing this,Alice''s face twisted in anger.
"You dare call me shameful?!!?,If i recall correctly im not the one that cuts strands of masters hair while he sleeps!"
"H-H-How did you know that,I m-mean i have no recollection of doing such a thing"
"Oh really..."

"{Obsessive} and {Stalker} say otherwise."
"I-I don''t recall obtaining that title either"
"Hmph you''re in denial,Lets end this argument by kissing him at the same time!"
"I guess i can settle for that" chided helen.
The two beauties turn to stare towards their master as they slowly leaned towards his lips,but before their lips could meet,Theron''s eyes suddenly opened.
"What do you think you''re doing" Theron asked with narrowed eyes
"Its simple,my objective is the downfall of all Holy Gods"
Theron stood there dumbfounded observing the playful Dark Goddess that suddenly become a cold and ruthless Deity as she declared her objective to wipe out the Holy Gods out of existence,Such a goal would be treated as a lofty idea even by the strongest of Dark Gods.However Theron was pleasantly surprised to find out his goals had a connection to Nyarlathotep''s objective.
"I accept."
Nyarlathoteps eye''s widened in surprise as she did not expect him to agree to such a thing so quickly.Her cold expression took a complete turn into an almost perverted grin which gave Theron a dark ."Kyaaaaaaaah~,I just fell in love with you even more,i''ll never ever let you go" acting in accordance with her words she quickly pulled theron back into her embrace still donning a perverted smile
"I''ll have to make sure to give you the best blessings a dark god can give for my cute little theron",Theron''s muffled cries from being stuffed in her chest passed by a deaf ear.
"I have a lot more in store for you than just blessings too,Im sure the 7 heroes and other sinners received the same treatment,How could i not dote on my sweet Theron~".
"I''ll have you know ron-ron,You may have never heard of me but im pretty strong ya know,really really strong!"
"I just don''t bother interacting with the current world."
Why did fate put me into this situation.I got stuck with a perverted old granny as my god parent.She acts more like an obsessive lover,Damn it all.However now i''ll be able to take my revenge,that is if i don''t die by breast suffocation before i can get to that point.If she is strong as she say''s she is,i wonder what blessing''s she''ll have in store for me.
"Hehehehe,I bet you''re curious as what i have for you,im sure you''ll love it,but first i have to bestow upon you the sin of wrath,this is the moment i would give a couple of warnings but i decded to let you have the full first time experience with no prior knowledge at all!"
"WAIT N-" Before Theron could finish sentence a blue screen popped up in front of theron as he passed out.
| You have been bestowed the Sin of Wrath.
Warning:There will be gradual changes to your personality. |
Chapter 4: Changes
A conversation that happened a while ago between Helen and Alice
"Alice how would you describe master"
"Well he''s a kid that hides behind a tough,disdainful,somewhat arrogant and cynical exterior.However he''s actually a broken child thats not as mentally sound or emotionally stable as he gives himself off to be.Nonetheless he''s able to stay calm and level headed when its needed most,He''s also a tsundere,and way worse than me in dealing with emotions in general."
"Wow...That was a way more detailed answer than what i was asking for or expecting."
"H-HUH,HELEN YOU BASTARD"
"Fufufufuuuu"
Inside a dark and empty space two voices could be heard. One raspy,deep and eerie whilst the other was the opposite childish,young and reluctant.
Theron You seek power do you not?
Yes Of course.
Then Yield.
What are you...?
I am you or soon to be you.
NO! You''re not me...
Then Why am i in you consciousness,I know you feel a connection with me.
How do you expect to avenge your parents,to lay waste to the realm of the divine?
Do you truly think that becoming a sin will make it an easy task?
I''ve lived for millions of years and I''ve never heard of anything more naive.
THEN WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO??!?!?
I know im weak,and i know that im young.
However thats not an excuse to wallow in the sorrow of how powerless I am!
H-hahahhhah.Then yield to me.
With me to aid you,your lofty goal will be much more realistic.
W-What are you!?!?
And don''t give me some vague bullshit.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
I am Wrath.
W-What do you want from me?
To become one.
I''ve never heard of a sin having a persona of its own....nor communcating with its bearer.
To not have knowledge of something does not mean its non-existent.
What''s the catch to this...
If change for the better is a catch then yes you could consider that the "catch".
Change to...?
Yourself
Others may not realize but you and i do.
Your current self will not suffice for this insane path you wish to take.
In truth,This is more of an unsealing rather than a change.
The chaos that lurks deep inside you.
No wonder Nyarlathotep chose you.
Your emotions can''t be hidden from me Theron.I can feel your hesitation,your fear,and your confusion.Throw Away such feeble and pathetic emotions
You and I
Are almost identical
The only difference is
You restrain yourself while I do not.
Free yourself from shackles of guilt,doubt,fear and hesitation.
Yield
To your True self.
The abyss lit up as the eerie voice said the last words to end Theron''s resistance revealing a transparent,unclear,irregular and monster like outline.
Wise Decision Theron.
Its voice gradually altered into a childish,arrogant yet still creepy voice identical to Theron.
I am you...
Its mouth curved up showing a sinister grin and its ominous sharp teeth.
You are me.
| You have become the Sin Of Wrath |
Side Story 1: Wrath,My Sin.
Over Thousands of Years In the Past
Desolate Realm
In a beautiful garden two beauties sat opposite each other on the grass conversing.Their sitting positions showed their contrasting beauty clearly,One pale woman exuded a grey aura of death but carried a playful and happy demeanor while speaking to the other beauty with wheat coloured skin,and a gentle and calm persona.
"Vita I bet i could defeat the Ares you seem to love so much without breaking a sweat" said the pale woman to the beauty opposite to her.
"I don''t think having your sister want to fight the man you love after you just told her about him is normal,even if we''re Gods..."
"Heh,Who wants to be normal anyway,Im far from normal and i think im great!"
"You sure are Nyarlathotep,Hahahahaha" retorted Vita as she gave a joyous laugh.
In a dimly lit room two unclear humanoid shapes faced each other.
"Taren you better not be lying to me about this,you cursed being" said a deep but clear voice.
"What good would it do me to deceive you Heinz,Can our enmity go any further than it already is? I only tell you this as we would both not want this to go any further,A relationship between a holy and dark god is the highest form of treason,simply unacceptable,PUNISHABLE BY DEATH! You are well aware this is a law shared by both of us Gods." hissed out an eerie and snake like voice.
The larger humanoid outline paused seemingly going into brief contemplation before disappearing.Leaving the smaller,slim and slouched humanoid outline alone in the dimly lit room.The mentally enroaching silence was interrupted by its abrupt and creepy cackling.It whispered slowly before disappearing as well
"I am the God of Disease Taren!,these fools cannot comprehend that diseases can come in many forms."
"Kekekekekekekeke"
(Servant of Ares POV)
Today was going on as a regular day usually would with Vita.She would wake up stroll around her castle and greet her servants which i found odd as i wondered to why a Goddess like her would bother with lower deity servants such as them.After that she would meet up to talk with her Dark god sister Nyarlathotep and visit her good friend Heinz,The Sword God.A tall,muscular and handsome man with short gold hair similar to Vita''s long golden hair that reached down to her shoulders.However as she met up with ares i noticed his aura and persona seemed different.Usually Holy Gods would naturally emit a yellow aura and Heinz was no different however today he had some ominous grey spots in his aura which seemed to steadily grow in size the more he glanced at Vita.Even though i was a considerable distance away from them,hidden in the shadow''s i could still see them as they gradually increased in size.They seemed to be arguing about something which i could not make out as if i eavesdropped on them Heinz would surely detect my presence.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
The argument steadily grew in intensity alerting me to report this to Master Ares as soon as possible,But how could i retreat without knowing what such an event would lead to,rather than reporting a speculation i settled to wait this out which i soon regretted as a fight broke out.Even though i was anxious i was not too worried as both of them were equal in terms of prowess.I also regretted thinking that as well.As i didn''t notice Vita''s unusual pale and sickly complexion compared to her usual wheat color.Before i could even realize what transpired Vita was already on her last breathe.Having seen what happened i hurriedly rushed back to Ares.
As i arrived instead of the usual polite entrance i jumped through Ares''s window.I kneeled and without waiting for his consent explained what happened.As i was cowering in fear waiting for his reponse it dawned upon me he already had left.Looking outside the window i was thankful i wasn''t the reason for his wrath.
(Ares POV)
I looked down to my beloved Vita''s pale lifeless corpse in my hands,then looked around me.All i could see was a destroyed city,corpses,scattered entrails and blood drowning out my surroundings.Nodding in satisaction at the destruction i caused i turned to look at the two gods that were the bane of my hatred Heinz,and Taren.At this point my body would not hold out for much longer.Im sorry Vita i wasn''t there for you.
Im sorry
Im sorry
Im sorry
Im sorry
Im sorry
Im sorry
Im sorry
IM SORRY!!!!
"Heinz...Taren... i swear on my soul that i will personally see to your deaths,even if its not done by my hands trust me it will be done by my intentions." said Ares in a chillingly cold voice.After saying so both his body and Vita''s faded in dust disappearing for eternity.Hearing such a threatening promise both Heinz and Taren shivered in fear.
| Due to Your immense show of Strength,Hatred,Ruthlessness,and act of Indiscriminate Slaughter.
God Of War Ares,You have been selected to become Wrath. |
Chapter 5: Becoming a Bandit Leader!
In a Dark Cave 6 men sat in a circle around a fire.Each Individual having a barbaric and messy appearance.These 6 men as a group are known by the name Black Dagger,An infamous bandit group known for their many crimes and heinous deeds.
(Jack POV)
"Oi fox how good was the loot today" said the tallest man amongst the bandits.
"The usual Boss" replied a lanky and red haired man.
Looking around at the bastards i call my men made me realize how long we had been together for.The Lanky red haired fella Fox,my right hand man.Crafty,quick witted and the smartest among us all.Then Garen although he may look like an average thief you would find in the streets.He''s actually the most wicked of us here.He''s known as the demon in human clothing for reasons i''d rather not recall.
After that comes our third member Barret.A greedy bastard who''ll drool at just the glance of money.For a bandit he has a rather handsome appearance,messy blonde hair and blue eyes giving him the appearance of a small time hoodlum and playboy rather than a member of the "Evil" bandit group Black Dagger.Although he may be greedy he knows better to put money over his brothers.
Ross.A quiet fellow,the type that only speaks when neccesary.However all that can be mistaken as a facade if you get him to drink with you.He gets louder and more vulgar than Darrel the worst of us.Speaking Of Darrel.That bastard is practically a clown with how he never takes anything seriously.However he also keeps the group light hearted and merry most of the time.Then the last of us me,Jack.I would like to think of myself as the most normal here.Although i may be the boss of things i always have a couple of laughs with my men.As we are more brothers than comrades.
Today was a relatively normal day,find a carriage of some random noble,Steal their valuables and retreat to our cave.Sometimes if we''re lucky we manage to find some women for us to enjoy.Unfortunately today was not such a lucky day.The loot we obtained was fairly average.Maybe we should change locations,the nobles we''ve encountered recently have all had average valuables and no women.As i pondered over this i noticed there was a shadow looming over us.I turned around to look to find a child in a black cloak at the entrance of our cave.
"Oi Garen looks like its your luck day,im sure that brat over there suits your tastes,she''s quite a looker too"
Hearing what i said Garen abruptly turned his head towards the cave and bared his yellow crooked teeth in show of an ominous smile as he licked his lips.
"Indeed it is my lucky day boss,maybe she might be older than she seems to be so you guys could join in too!"
"Did you just...." muttered the girl.
"Huh....Thats a pretty boyish voice you got there girlie however im sure i won''t notice that when you cry and scream for help" said Garen.
There he goes again...I almost feel sorry for this girl,probably some adventurer wannabe that got lost on their first quest.It''d be better if she fell into the hands of goblins rather than Garen,,what a shame,That beauty of hers will be ruined quite soon.Maybe if she looked older i would have taken her.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
However before Garen could pounce on her,the girl had already dashed towards Garen at a speed faster than my eye could see and kicked him sending him flying to the cave wall.
"What the fuck!?!?"
Knowing the the quick witted fox i assumed he would take care of the freakishly strong tomboy.But i was wrong again as fox creeped up on her from behind she sidestepped him,grabbed his hand and flung him towards Ross as if he was weightless leading to Fox landing on top of Ross''s short body.
(Theron POV)
After managing to escape from Nyarlathotep with my so called "blessings" i sent off both Helen and Alice to the Demon Kingdom Vazum to find the current state of it as well as general information about the continent and what had happened before our awakening.Needing gold and non suspicious clothing i headed off to find some bandits to steal from.As i was looking i happened to find a cave with 6 messy looking men which i presumed to be bandits.I hoped to complete my objective without getting my hands dirty and with just mere intimidation.However the the change of personality i had been warned of was stronger than i expected as i started to feel and notice the differences.
As i arrived at the cave entrance i heard one of them refer to me as a girl.....which i absolutely despise being mistaken as.These scoundrel''s dare call me a girl!?!?
I rushed at the one that seemed to lust after my body which he thought of as a girl and gave him a gentle kick on his abdomen which i put more power into than i intended to.Humph not that it mattered such trash deserved it anyway.These scoundrels could not seem to recognize a superior being when they see one as another bug attempted to sneak up on me.Seeing such bugs underestimate their superior i decided to give the crafty one a light throw towards the short one that stared at me in an odd way as if he had never seen a manly male such as myself.Such a pitiful bunch,how weak are they to be thrown around like this.Killing them and taking their treasures would be no fun.Plus i do need surbodinates as Helen and Alice will not be with me for a while.....Perfect!
I''ll whip these insects into shape
(Jack POV)
Still sitting dumbfounded staring at the monstrosity that threw my men around like dolls i suddenly had a chill run down my spine and an ominous premonition.The freakish tomboy rubbed her chin as if considering something which i feared was the death of us all.However contrary to my fears the tomboy pointed to herself and in a fittingly arrogant manner proclaimed
"Listen up maggots from today this moment you bugs are now under my ownership!"
"A-And if we resist?" I reluctantly asked.
"Well then i''ll just beat you till you submit Hahaha!" the monster casually replied as she gave out a maniacal laughter that i would soon grow accustomed to as this fateful meeting lead to us becoming the 6 Feared Arch Dukes Of Hell in the late future.
Fearing such a beating i gave up any thoughts of resistance.However Garen seemed to be thinking otherwise as i saw him crawling towards the monster''s leg.Before he could do anything the tomgirl stopped him with a stomp of her foot on his face as if he was a carpet.Instead of releasing a squeal of pain Garen let out a moan of what seemed to be pleasure marking this the day Garen awakened as an M.
Not a chapter
As you guys know i''ve been MIA for a while,sorry bout that just going through troublesome crap atm but don''t worry i''ll try to release a chapter soon.But for now just expect slow releases.Sorry again and thanks for the continued patience.
As for info about the novel im 300 percent sure i won''t be dropping this novel at any point in the near future unless i become a cripple or something.Before my unfortunate luck started the only things that got in my way of daily releases was being busy with school and so forth,but that wasn''t really the main problem.I just have a problem of being picky with my words or phrasing so i tend to over think to the point of insanity.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Its a habit of mine i can''t really get under control.Thats the main reason as to why my releases are weekly-ish...Haha,As being so picky with such i tend to get annoyed at myself or feel as if this is getting tedious as i spend more time on a chapter or a portion of a chapter than i would like to or have the time to do so.
Otherwise i''d have no problems.Anywaaaaaay excuse my rambling sorry for the delay and so on.If you have any questions about the plot line of the novel,or characters or anything in general go ahead and comment.Thanks for the patience agaIn!
Chapter 6: Bandit Pride!
(Jack POV)
After the tomyboy had subjugated us she ran off to take care of something which none of us knew about.Leaving us to sit in awkward silence.I felt a tension in the air but i was
too busy swimming in my thoughts to care.
Am i really going to let this happen,the prideful Black Dagger conquered by a single brat and a girl at that.Why is it that i don''t feel bothered this,didn''t i bring this group
out of the mud to where we are now.Where the hell is my bandit pride?!?!?...if fear was the real reason as to why we didn''t put up much of a fight then we were never cut out
to be bandits in the first place.Its up to me to lead this clueless bunch,Yet here i sit on my ass silent as a mouse.Heh,how pathetic.
Maybe this is for the best.Leading a group of weird lads like this was too much of a heavy load for a normal person like me,Its not like i lead them to the best life either haha
i practically made them monsters,fiends,damned criminals.I lead these kids to a path of slaughter and all sorts of evil.If someone is to blame then its definitlely me.
"You lot are sure unfortunate to have such a pathetic leader like me"
"We already know what you''re thinking boss" said Ross.
"We''ve been together too long to not know how you think" said Barret
"You really are pathetic ya bastard you HAHAHAHAHAH!" said Darrel as he let out a hearty laugh.
"We willingly sold our souls to ya you evil bastard no take backs!" said Fox as he let out a sly grin.
"I was born a demon ya didn''t touch me anything ya bastard" hissed Garen pridefully.
"Thats right...This a till the death contract,How dare i lose sight of what we are."
"We are the fiends of the night,BLACK DAGGER!"
???:Good to know i found the right people then,you''re an awfully merry bunch for a group of evil bandits.However your unrestrained way of life ends here for i have come to lay waste to you fiends!
Minor City,Panto
Adventurer''s Guild
(Adventurer Chatter/Gossip POV)
"Have you heard the news?!?"
"What is it?"
"Apparently Ranthel the SS rank adventurer took up the Black Dagger subjugation quest,we''ll finally be rid of those pests for good!"
"Is he really as strong as the rumours say...?"
"Of Course he is you fool! Why else would he be SS rank"
"He may be from some royal family or closely connected with one of those aristocrats"
"Don''t you know they can''t influence or pressure adventurer guilds,Do you live under a golem!? The most they can do is put in requests"
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website."Y-Yes right Hahaha i was just testing you! No need to take it so seriously"
"Hmph! Sure you were"
"But why would would Ranthel take up the Black Dagger Subjugation quest,Isn''t it only A rank?"
"Ranthel is a righteous knight,and a man of many morals,thats why you sewer dweller!"
Guild Doors Burst Open
"Wha? Why is a kid here?"
"How the hell would i know"
"Hold on a sec isn''t the direction shes heading to the guild registration reception"
"It is!"
(Theron POV)
I swear i gently opened this door what the hell...Tch,lets just get this over with.That should be where i register,this place dosen''t look too different from the guild i last saw in Vazum other than its on a smaller scale,then again this is a minor HUMAN city.Its only to be expected that human''s can''t compare with the great demons hmph how pathetic.
"Excuse me are you here to register to join the guild?" said the indifferent elf receptionist with the typical blonde hair but unusual snow white eyes.
"Huh,O-Oh yes!"
"Please place your hand over this" said the elf as she pulled out a square purple stone.
Ah an identification device,Nyarlathotep told me about this,according to her this gives basic information on the status of person that touches it,Usually Class,Name,Race and Age.Luckily Nyarlathotep disguised my status in advance as she knew something like this would happen eventually as this is a commonly used device.
| Name |
Theron |
Class |
|
Eclipse |
| Race |
Seraph |
Age |
|
15 |
As she saw my race an instance of shock flashed through her eyes before quickly reverting to her blank stare,however i could feel her new found reverence towards me which i didn''t pay much attention to as i found it pointless.
"Heres your guild card,as you complete quests and kill monsters your rank will automatically increase in correspondence with the quest difficutly/monster tier,If you seek for more information on our services feel free to ask,I wish you luck on your adventuring"
"Thank you" now i best return to those insects before they decide to run away hoping to escape from me as any pathetic human would.However using those maggots as they are now won''t do me any good,They''re still too weak to be of any use.Their humanity will only be a hindrace to my future plans.Considering they''re bandits and already seen as outcasts by their fellow race and practically exiled from their society they shouldn''t be too reluctant to the idea of switching sides,hahahahahaha!
