《fantasial rise [HIATUS]》


 it starts, and I rise

    I am grode, I know, weird name, I don,t know what came through my parent''s head when naming me, they only ever say that they felt as though it was the only fitting "name", anyways, I am an average student, in general, I often pass unnoticed wich earned the nickname of void phantom, always liked it, still likes it and will always do, today as usual I head to my class, passing by classmates who, for once noticed me, yay.


    should have known something was gonna happen.

 some will rise

    "what''s that thing outside guys, small green goblin like but is literally throwing fire around everywhere."


    "don''t ask us, maybe a goblin mage, da hell, why is a mage the first thing we see?"


    [void walk]


    I get the fuck outta there before they start going berserk on each others, it might not happen, but I won''t risk it. Not now anyways, let''s first see what we can do with the only versatile skill I have.


    [void mastery]


    I don''t know how to explain it, but, there is... something, in my hands, but there is nothing either, let''s try to, throw it first, shouldn''t be too dangerous... I hope


    and sooo, yeah, might need to control that a bit more, I just blew up a good chunk of the wall a little further down the hallway, glad I didn''t aim closer to me.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

    bitch 105(sarah)" what are you talking about to yourself, and, YOU blew up the wall, the void phantom, did something flashy, that''s gonna be a story for the others, anyways wanna come with me back with the other classes or ya gonna stay out there waiting for death... or blowing up more walls?"


    "gonna stay out here to gain control over this shit, hope to never see y''all again"

 others will die

    as I moved further away from sarah, I started thinking.


    "what do I do now, train with [void energy] on monsters, alone or on more innocent walls... I hate decision, they bring in too many probabilities wich is a type of math, wic is a fucking nightmare."

    no changes even though I killed a gnoll, kinda expected to see stats or at least levels to appear now.Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.


    [void mastery]


    I decide to go simple for now and try to reduce the power of the "ball" of void.


    easier than I expected, still a pain to do because you know, gotta focus on keeping most of the energy in my body, essentially preventing it''s natural flow but hey, I just do what I have to in order not to blow up the school... for now.

    new skill, guess that''s good to know that I''m doing something correctly.


    sooooo, let''s change the shape now.

 reults and tries

    at first I make the energy, longer and thinner, it doesn''t feel right to only have one,as such I try to summon another ball of [void energy].


    okay... that''s hard on the mind.


    "fine! one tentacle and a ball of pure [void energy] is my limit for now.

    alright let''s keep the tentacle out and explore a little.


    I reach for the door of a classroom on the 2nd floor, and find my first ACTUAL combat... a goblin and a gnoll.


    don''t ask me why they aren''t fighting I don''t know or care.


    seeing as they have yet to notice me (somehow) I decide to bind the gnoll with my tentacle while forming a void sphere (decided to call them that seeing as they aren''t recognised as a skill by the system).If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    the goblin realises what is happening and jumps at me.


    good thing I''m not a moron, I dodge and throw the void sphere at the goblin (from now on "it").


    turns out aiming while moving is a lot harder than I thought, so yeah, I missed and accidently hit the gnoll instead.


    but on a good note.


    I hit the goblin with my tentacle, throwing it in a wall.


    "I''ve got my tentacle back, so killing an entity bound by them doesn''t get rid of it"


    I bind the green little shit and proceed to void sphere him from a safe distance (I''m not that much of an idiot).


    that... was exhausting.

    now THAT''s more like it, next to try and find more monsters to kill.

 exploration and discoveries

    I keep moving through the school, exploring as much as possible killing small groups of monsters while experimenting a little, I managed to up my mana enough to create two tentacles and a void sphere wich has proven to be incredibly useful compared to just one.

    from what I have seen so far, stat upgrades with level ups are completely random, maybe it has to do with your class or the way you fight in order to level up I don''t know, I''m not a theorist or some shit like that.


    anyways let''s keep going, let''s go to the auditorium, if I''m right the other students should either be there or at the gymnasium... even if it has been a few hours I can''t seem to find any of them, not sure that''s a good thing.


    gymnasium... they most certainly are at the gymnasium and not in this... nest? village? not sure how to describe it. there is a little of everything there, goblins, gnolls, an orc or two.


    there is the mage.


    "what do I do, attack or ignore until I''m confident enough in my strengh to get rid of them, not sure that''s a good idea, for all I know they are building their forces for a rush or something.


    I bind two of the goblins and throw a void sphere at one of the orcs... FUCKING HELL... why do I keep missing those and hit gnolls instead.


    oh well I constrict the goblins with my tentacles while trying my best in order not to discover just how dangerous the orcs'' weapons are.


    friendly fire is most certainly a thing, that gnoll just got smacked  by an orc.


    I finallyhit an orc with a full power void sphere wich instantly kills it... but also throws back into a wall. that hurts.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    I bind the last orc and hit the goblins coming towards me with the other and decide to use [void blast] so as to not be overrun.


    useful skill I created on accident while fighting a few hours earlier, it''s basically an explosion all around me wich mostly serves to destabilize and throw back whatever is near me, with a couple sharp weapons in the air it should become quite a bit more useful.


    another I discovered is this.


    [void infuse]


    I use it in a nearby rock (bow to the almighty rock wich was created by error the first time but still blew up in an orc''s face killing it) and kick it towards the orc wich is dumb enough to let it hit.


    okay so... let''s go around the place with gobby in my tentacle.

    "FUCK WHERE IS IT!"


    there is no trace of it anywhere, no corpse, no staff, no cloak.


    I did actually footprints wich I can only assume are his and decide to follow them. I don''t care I WILL kill it.


    ...quick question brain, how do you kill a mage who is casting a spell via a weird chant simple.


    you first bind him with your tentacle, then you hit him over and over again with the other while keeping a void sphere at the ready in case of emergency.

    okay seems good, I''m a one man army basically, but it doesn''t go too well with my void energy, should have thought of that sooner.


    "oh well, gonna deal with that later, should be more useful to summon skeletons than to use a void sphere anyways."


    I go around the school''s floors only to very rarely run into monsters, wonder why.


    let''s just go to the gymnasium, it''s pretty safe out here so they should be able to come out now, if they are there, or, if they are still alive.


    I reach the gymnasium to see it being relatively empty, I have a bad feeling about that.


    schoolmate#15 "look there is omeone still alive out there!"


    schoolmate#602 "omg help him, he must be exhausted!"


    "da fuck? it hasn''t been a day yet what happened to everyone?"


    E D G Y kid#666 "dead lol."


    "sooooo, basically the entire school died, while I was out there killing goblins, orcs, a mage and raging at gnolls."The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    schoolmate#602 "come on you must be exhausted go rest we''ll make sure nothing happens."


    okay, no, just, no, they are lying, they should be too weak to fight most of the monsters if my intuition is right, not gonna sleep, pretend to, yes.


    if they try anything they are dead, or well, abandonned actually, but that''s pretty much a death sentence for them.


    "kay, sure."


    surprisingly enough they didn''t do anything


    for about 2 hours if I''m right.


    "what do you think you are doing?"


    "showing the ogre where you are, we somehow managed to make a deal with him, lure others and he protects us from the other monsters, now you should just let him kill you. better this way"


    [void tentacles]


    [skeleton summoning]


    so, with two tentacles I can summon 3 skeletons, should be more than enough to take care of the others, in the meantime I''ll keep the ogre occupied so the skeletons can help afterwards.


    I slap the ogre with a tentacle while using the other to bind his legs so as to make him fall and get a few free hits in.


    I can hear the skeletons fighting the others wich is good for me, I can focus on the ogre.


    he manages to hit me wich sends me flying to the nearest wall.


    "fuck me, I should have died from that, guess the system helps."


    I slap him a few more times before he reaches me and manages to attack.


    I can barely dodge most of his attacks and there is only one human left, surprisingly it''s E D G Y kid#666.


    I mentally tell the other 2 skeletons to come help me with the ogre while the last one deals with edgy.


    best idea I''ve had as of today, an ogre against skeletons, the ogre wins, an ogre against skeletons and someone who can bind his harms and legs while they attack, easy win for us and free exp.


    edgy finally dies but, leaves a badly damaged skeleton.


    wich I get rid of before using the remains of edgy with [undead transformation], mostly because it should give a better result than just a skeleton.


    a zombie, good enough at least ogres will have more problems dealing with him.

    pretty sure the upgrades depend on the way you fight to get a level, explains why my stats are more of a magic based but got a good boost on phisical stats, and I''m pretty sure the second level came from the skeletons killing the other 3 students, at least they were useful once in their life...death?


    anyways, it''s night and the body of the ogre should be a good warning for other monsters, let''s sleep.

 2nd day, and outside the school

    I woke up from a surprisingly calm sleep, no dreams, no nightmares nothing, kinda creepy actually.


    anyways time to leave the school and see how things are in the city.


    wait... how come I have yet to eat, seriously I''m not hungry but I haven''t eaten since yesterday morning...system?


    oh well, let''s head out and search for survivors or at least anything interesting, I wonder what kind of monsters there will be.


    everything seems to be alright so far, monsters are few and far between, a couple goblins with the rare orc, not really anything major and it all seems pretty safe out here, a couple corpses can be seen wich will be useful if I find myself getting in troubles, necromancy sure can be useful for times like these, anyways, the city is also oddly silent, not a sound can be heard aside from monsters.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.


    good thing is I can now summon 5 skeletons and still have 3 tentacles out at the same time, also, I''m fairly reluctant to let them go, they feel like another part of my body and not like just some kind of energy shaped by my will, they also became a LOT stronger, orcs die in a single hit from them.


    also, I found out that I can make my tentacles sharp and more like flexible sword, I can''t seem to be able to give void energy another form though, and it also looks like the system isn''t omniscient as it doesn''t recognise some things as skills.


    I am wondering why I can''t find anyone though. Kinda weird and really ominous to be honest.


    also, doesn''t look like the gods do anything to help, tried praying to those I know and they don''t even answer.


    anyways I wonder, maybe the army came by yesterday and brought everyone to safety, that would explain why everything is silent.


    aside from big groups of monsters I don''t have to cautious just yet and took advantage of that to take a couple bags from a store as well as food and other such things.


    for now I guess everything is safe enough for a lazy day, still gonna hunt but I plan on not doing much else.

 3rd day, better system and changes

    alright so , dawn of the 3rd day and these are my stats after a day of hunting, and a nice surprise from the system.

    I don''t really know what the race meter thing is but I''m not sure trying anything with it is a good idea, if I''m right it will bring more troubles than it''s worth.


    I can now summon 5 skeletons, a summon from [summoning] and 4 tentacles, and it''s fucking op, I mean, when I find stronger monsters it might be weaker than I thought but for now, it''s enough.


    I''m safe in this building with the skeletons and summon (goblin) at the entry wich brings in exp when monsters come too close, the skeletons also seem to become more powerful wich means, I will eventually have an army of skeletons that grow more and more powerful with each passing moments, I just need to find a castle somewhere secluded and then I can act as some kind of demon lord, or a secluded master who will say "fuck off" to everyone who comes on my property.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform.

    might as well use my time to experiment with void energy.


    I decide to shape it into some kind of gauntlet so as to maximise my damage output without weapons, if I use it I have to get rid of my summon (goblin) but it''ll be worth it in the end.

    a...3 day trial period, couldn''t they have at least warned us about this! oh well, I still seem to be pretty far ahead of the competition around so might as well secure the perimeter, who knows, maybe others will come by and we can make a somewhat secure city from monsters.


    I could really do with earth magic right now.


    wait, no, necromancy also deals with bones, I can maybe do something with that.


    I try to summon bones and have them something that vaguely looks like a wall, it''s took some time, and it is pretty small, but it at least shows that the perimeter is secure.

    </table>


    okay cool... fuck me that''s gonna be troublesome.


    let''s use the time we have to better our defences via better walls, traps and by having the skeletons go outside them to kill monsters to level up and keep the area secure. I don''t plan on staying here forever, that would be boring, but I will at least make this place into a safe haven for all races, that will be complicated but it will be worth it.

 start of a "city", system dicovery and thats it... maybe

    It''s been a few days since I started to secure the place and I dare say that it''s pretty good for now, I have about 25 kilometers within the safety of my bone walls, while my now 15 skeletons separated into 3 groups of 5 wich makes leveling so much easier and faster.


    Anyways things are going well, although I am running out of "normal" food such as cereals, fruits... I guess I will have to start cultivating whatever seed I can find and start eating monster meat, great.


    I also discovered that my summon and I can talk via telepathy, useful when threats arrive near the "city"... or now that beastmen have apparently arrived, good, at least we will have some people to cultivate the fields if they decide to stay.


    I arrive at the door, a crude one made of bones with strips of oddly resistant leather I gor from killing some kind of deer to near extinction around the place.


    (G)"How may I help you?"


    (BST LDR)"Hello, I take it you are the leader of this town, right?"


    (G)"Yes I am indeed, although it isn''t really a town seeing as I am the only person around here, it''s more like a safe zone right now, anyways, I take it you plan on buying/selling things, or are you here to maybe settle here"


    (BST LDR)"Are you actually willing to let us live here with you? usually Humans reject our people due to fear of our superior strengh, or out of spite due to us being unable to use magic, well some of us can, but they are really rare."


    (G)"Why would I not be okay with people living here, it gets lonely and it is the whole reason why I even secured this place, so of course you are welcome here, also, I am not human anymore, I became something called a [void touched], but I digress, come in and settle down you and your people, once you are ready, we should start to grow crops to feed everyone, I still have some reserves and we can wait for the skeletons to bring the meat from the monsters around."


    They start to come in and I help them settle in the houses that can still be used or create a crude tent for the others using necromancy''s control over bones and some leather.


    It''s been 4 days since they arrived and I learned that crops grow WAY TOO FAST around here, they think it is due to the lack of monsters, it apparently means that the soil around here has more mana due to it not being constantly devoured by monsters in order for them to evolve or stay alive in harsh environments, anyways, at least we are not gonna starve and some of them started to hunt or breed some monsters such as the deer I used the leather of, it is apparently called [ironwood deer], understandable, but confusing since it''s woods aren''t that hard, it''s leather is but not the woods.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

    Wow... those are a LOT of free bonuses, and they apparently apply no matter where you are as long as you are a citizen of our city for [enhanced stats] and [enhanced magic], [mana rich] however seems to be something that will attract mana sensitive people/species, that is both good and bad, I mean, it can draw corrupted spirits or other monsters like those.


    All in all, things are going great, we did run into some problems such as how much what work is paid, but we dealt with it and there are no complaints so far, thank gods for the system wich made it so there is only one currency around the world.


    Also, some people have brought to me the idea of making a church for a god or several gods and...well.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td style="text-align: center">


    you have been granted a quest : create a church dedicated to one or more god(s)

    failure : curse from one or more god(s), stats diminished by 10 points


    </td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    Because losing stat points AND getting cursed by a god would be more troublesome than anything, we started to build the church, but the god(s) have yet to be decided, some want to worship the goddess of the hunt Krya, others want to worship the god of light Rokor, and some others want to worship the god(dess?) of chaos Ralioza.


    All in all it''s a complete mess, and there are many, many more gods, and I don''t have any real clue what the blessing could be, Krya could boost the results of our hunts, or I could get a boost when using bows, wich I will never do, you get the point, could be good, could be bad, could be terrible.

 time passed city complete and new discoveries

    It''s been about 2 weeks since the system recognise our city and fortunately for me, it seems that the gods are patient when it comes to building their church, gives us time to think more about it though for now the popular choice in the city is ryonera the goddess of beasts and monsters, she is generally considered evil but if you think of the possible blessing to get from her, it might just be the best choice.


    Anyways, we are also more numerous and we don''t have any problems so far, agriculture is going good, the hunts are too, and the expansion of the city is going pretty fast, we have more space than we use, anyways, I also discovered that the monsters around here are basically scared of us, we apparently went a bit too far with the whole hunting them thing.


    It also may have gotten us a title (both for us as indivuduals and for our city).

    Safe to say we now hunt further from our city, where the monsters are more powerfull and don''t fear us.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    I decide to leave the city and everyone else for a while, I don''t like staying in the same place for too long.


    Wether it was a good or bad idea... I will let everyone else decide, on one side, I found some weird ruins with writings and images of a human-like-thing in front of an army of monsters, all bowing to it, creepy and most definitely something I will tell others about... or... maybe I will keep it to myself, could be fun, might even be an evil army... fuck yes that''ll be cool.

    The whole boost to stats and magic is INCREDIBLE, it''s almost scary anyways, next objective.


    either forcefully "tame" a monster, or become close enough to it in order for it happily become my pet, learned that it was possible from the beastmen, apparently their specialty is taming BEASTS, while demons specialize in taming MONSTERS.


    I''m gonna be a demon then.

 taming with care or hatred... or become a tyrant

    I keep walking around until I reach a small forest that is near the town, might find an interesting monster or two, hopefully a bird of some kind, could use it as a scout or maybe even ride it if large enough.


    As I reached the forest I start to hear many monsters, this is gonna be good, I enter it, keeping my guard up and having my skeletons fight every monsters dumb enough to come after us, we might be a little too powerful for this area, oh well, still free exp and a potential monster.


    curious, I''m pretty sure this forest wasn''t that big, maybe I''m lost, or the void''s influence somehow changes some parts of the world, great.


    I see a bunch of monsters ahead, a couple of birds seemingly made of water for one of them, steel for another one, the second to last one is made of jade and the last one is made of some kind of weird fluid rock thing, I found my bird.


    I mean they are pretty small and as such I''m not riding it any time soon, but it should still be useful.


    I use one of my tentacles to bind the 4 birds (a tentacle each) and come out of hiding with my skeletons.


    They look... disturbed, scared... I like it.


    "So, do they understand me or not, it would be quite useful right now."


    they look at me like they are seeing their nightmares come true, that''s weird, this bullshit title is in effect even out here, interesting, should make the whole thing easier.


    I send a strand of void energy to the water bird, if the process is similar to what the beastmen do with their beasts, it should be good.


    Refused, refused, refused, again and again it refuses.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    That''s it, I''m killing one of them, let''s go with the steel one.


    I use the tentacle around it to break it''s bones by applying as much pressure as I can, it didn''t take long.


    I try again, but once more, it refuses.


    let''s try something else, the other two birds, let''s be a bit gentler with them, maybe it''ll be more receptive after that.


    I loosen their tentacles a bit and let them move a little, but not for the water one, it probably realised that they didn''t move to much and I let them have a bigger range of movement, so maybe it''ll relaxe a bit.


    it relaxed and I loosen it a bit, but keep 2 more tentacles at the ready should it try anything.


    I try again.


    Refused, AGAIN!


    "THAT''S IT, THEY DIE!"


    I send my skeletons to kill the other two birds while my tentacles keep them from moving.


    I use this time to basically throw my void energy in the water bitch (bird).

 first dungeon? nah, first conquest.

    I just realised that watey is a literal water slave, the bloody (watery?) thing doesn''t do anything other than fight and obey me, doesn''t even have a personality as far as I''ve seen, not fun.


    Anyways, we go deeper in the forest, fight a couple goblins, orcs, the occasional ogre and WAY TOO MANY GNOLLS!


    Anyways, we run into a cave that goes pretty deep, a couple spiders, a few mantis'', the very rare overgrown bees that are fucking annoying with their BZZZZZZZZZ!


    We got out of there but there wasn''t anything valuable inside, just exp, not even a level too.


    We head deeper and deeper into the damn forest and eventually reach the center of it.


    Let''s see :


    Giant tree : CHECK

 to build an army, and protect us all

    About 2 weeks passed since we built the church and just about everyone in town has some monster traits, my skeletons,summons and some of the monsters we managed to build a friendly relationship with constantly check the surroundings, keeping us safe and warning us in case of major outbreaks (we already had to deal with a minor gnoll outbreak, nothing serious).


    I also learned that a few cities a bit further away from us have been secured, and we are more powerful than they are, by a long shot, as such we don''t even try to hide and basically parade around the place, some of our people who go over to these cities say we are known as the "monstruous city" and they do fear us.


    I also discovered that my skeletons can "evolve" when reaching a certain level of strengh and depending on the way they fight (although it is very slow and not really worth it), so far we got 4 dark knight, 2 cursed priests and 6 forgottens (some kind of assassin that can mind wipe, op).


    we decided to show our strengh even more than we already do by inviting any anyone to try and beat our soldiers, it''ll happen in 2 days.


    -little baby time skip-


    Looks like quite a few people came, most seem to think we only have the scare factor and we are in fact, weak, boy are they in for a surprise.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.


    They come, they try, they fall, they die, all day there is no interesting people out there, borring.


    "I''m bored, if anyone wants to, I''m in for a fight or two!"


    As I say that they all seem to get a weird light in their eye, GOOD, let''s show them what fear truly is.


    I step into the arena and about 5 people come forward to fight.


    "Let''s start this easy"


    [summoning]


    2 ogres appear on either side of me, lucky summon right there.


    "go on you 2, break them!"


    the ogres rush at them and attack immediatly, these guys aren''t all that bad,just too weak to really do anything to my ogres, the only thing that allows them to defeat these ogres is their number, 2 ogres vs 5 people insn''t quite fair now is it.


    "I don''t think it is really fair to fight 5vs2 now is it."


    I use some of my tentacles to bind 3 of them and get them away from orga and morgr the ogre twins, "let''s watch them fight shall we."


    with 3 of them away from the fight, the other 2 don''t last long and die quickly, I watch the last 3, let''s make this more, interesting.


    [undead transformation]


    [skeleton summoning]


    "And as mortals fell, my warriors once more rose, as the heavens fall and hell rises, my throne shall once more come, a blood soaked land shall mark my path, and my foes, shall become my strengh!"


    As I chant this aloud, for no reason at all,, their comrades rise and skeletons come, a man in the middle of an army of undead, as they cannot harm me, they too fall soon.

 heavens chant and hells deal

    It''s been 4 days since the tournament, and now our town has grown to hold humans, a few demons and some fairies, we expanded a bit more and we still are the main place to go to in case of monster outbreak.


    we also heard from the christian church (they are STILL around even after this, and they became even worse), apparently our town is "a town from wich the putrid smell of hell is everpresent, a city sinners and false gods.", pathetic.

    hell''s lord has a deal to offer.


    I have a deal for you, a new name, a new god, and a way to get rid of this despicable "church", all I ask for, is your class.

    The hell, so basically the devil wants my class (fat chance) and he will help me get rid of the christians.


    "Nope, don''t quite want to get rid of them, just get them of my back.".


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td style="text-align: center">due to you refusing the deal of hell''s lord, the heavens see you in a more favorable light and are more inclined to help you.</td>

    cool, we might be able to stay safe from the christian church for a while thanks to that,everything seems to be going well for now, no monsters, no assholes, no gods acting up, only a deal with the devil, that''s what I call a good day.Love this story?

    Anyways, the city is plenty safe soooo I say, let''s go into the forest to try and see what we can do with necromancy.


    I start by making a bone spear to give myself a bit more of attack power and a potential spell to upgrade easily later on, most likely by infusing it with void energy or shaping it further if needed, I can probably work around whatever other problem that could happen to me as of now.


    "So, what now, we are plenty safe, our army is powerful and there are no real fun things to do as of late, or, maybe...".


    I get back to the city and call the "leaders" of the races living in it.


    "Alright so, the reason why I called you all here is because I think we need to expand our territorry."(Grode)


    "Okay so, I mean, we do keep on getting more and more people coming but we still have quite a bit of space left, why do it now?"(fairy queen)


    "We are much better off having more space than is used to reside our people, more farms, mines, less dangerous training grounds for our army, it''s overall a good idea."(demon king)


    "But, it would also give people a reason to fear us, both good and bad, on one side, they wouldn''t dare to go against us because they will exagerate our strengh, on the other hand, because they fear us, they will search for "heroes" to defeat us."(human king)


    "I say, we go to war."(Grode)


    "So do I."(demon king)


    "I still disagree with it, but should we go to war, my people will help."(fairy queen)


    "I agree, let us start and unite our army."(human king)


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td style="text-align: center">The city of monsters and safe haven to all species has begun it''s war against the world, mortals fear, for it''s tyrant has ran out of fun things to do, may the world cower in his path, for the cursed tyrant has once more risen.</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    "Well, the world is now aware of our plan, let''s go."(Grode)


    "WHAT! You ran out of things to do so you decide to START A WAR!"(fairy queen)


    "I''m cool with it."(demon king)


    "What is that about a cursed tyrant?"(human king)

 a feathers fall

    We march ever closer to feathovien and we can already see their city and their army waiting for us.


    "Alright, let''s get this started, no strategy, you do what you want I don''t care, just take the city!" (Grode)


    The army charges, mages using spells, warriors going right in the thick of it, and healers keeping them alive.


    I go towards the city with the army and use my 7 tentacles to keep the oposing army away from me and using bone spears to help the army, we quickly get closer to what can only be called a royal palace and barge in.


    "Time''s up, you lose." As I say that I grab the ruler with my tentacles and squeeze him until his death.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td style="text-align: center">Due to your fast (understatement of the century) conquest of the city, you have been awarded with a permanent bonus to you and your people''s "fear factor", their capacity to induce fear in others.</td>

    As I turn around to look at my army and the leaders of the other races that joined us, I can''t help but laugh.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    "we are composed of several different races that would, under other circumstances wage war against one another, and yet, here we stand, together, united, on the same side of a war we started in order to keep ourselves safe. And, the leader of this city, sorry, cities, of ours, is a "tyrant", a cursed "tyrant"! And, to show the goddess we stand for, I DEDICATE THIS CONQUEST, AND ALL FUTURE CONQUESTS, TO RYONERA!" (Grode)


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td style="text-align: center">Your words were heard and accepted by Ryonera, [God favor] at 100%, due to your goddess being Ryonera, you have been given to power to cause 1 monster/beast outbreak when attacking a city or defending one of yours.</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    "Our goddess has heard us, our next conquest will be made even easier if needed, for she has granted us the power to cause ONE monster/beast outbreak when either attacking a city or defending one of ours!" (Grode)


    I watch in delight as our army looks even more bloodthirsty than before this conquest, if we were feared before, now, I wonder how others see us?


    Are we the big bad wolf, or are we the powerful empire that has no reason to fear the small tribes that they are.


    Am I the demon lord, sitting atop a land of demons and monsters, or am I the dedicated king, wich bares the weight of my citizens needs and safety, without giving an inch to the corrupt.


    "NEXT STOP, KILLIORA!"


    As I say these words, my army bows, as I remember the forest I corrupted.
