《The apocalypse that saved the world》


 Boring Prologue part 1

    in the beginning, there was only true nothingness, not the void true nothingness. from the nothingness came soul or will many words have been used to describe it over the ages. the old languages have better words for it, but nothing but the languages of the ancients does truly cover the realness of it, the closest language that comes close are that of the Ents ancient creatures. Although what they use are more of the length of a novel so it¡¯s not really that useful today and them being nearly extinct doesn¡¯t really help that much. also, there¡¯s not many creatures or scrolls much less actual books that explains it any more. the next concept that came too be was Impetus or the primordial energy that came before all other types of energy. later urrh gave rise to all the other energies the closer too impetus the more powerful.


    but before that soul spawned chaos and order and impetus spawned creation and destruction. the creation off and merger off these concepts gave rise to the first life or more specifically, the primordial titans and gods. not all gods were orderly. nor were all titans chaotic although only 2 titans were orderly the lord of death or the reaper from where the opposite too. the phoenix from where life spawned, and the cycle off life and death spawned not that any off the primordial where truly affected by it being immortal beings indestructible too anything but their own not that they could easily kill it taking a group too truly kill one. Not much happened since the titans would destroy or consume anything the gods tried to create. This went on for no measurement of time since there was nothing precise too measure it by this was an endless cycle of the gods and titans.


    Some ended up dead in this void until the gods managed too convince the 2 orderly titans too help the gods trap what later would be called the mad titans in what was would be known as the pit, Tartarus, the deepest hell and many other names. how they convinced them is forgotten in history but its speculated that it was a mixture off a peace agreement and lots of bribes since the 2 titans got their own realms and loyal species something they could not have done by their own.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    The agreement of the gods and the orderly titans spawned the high concepts or elements reality/space/ life/death/perception. And the lesser concepts or elements fire or heat/ water or liquid/air or gases/ earth or matter/ arcana/ mana/ corruption/ purity. Because of the creation of the, elemental realm, the godly realms, the realms of the underworld and the realms off hell. Another important thing to mention is that the lord of death swore eternal allegiance to the lord of destruction.


    The creation of the realms also gave rise to a huge number of creatures that became even more diversified due to what the mortals would call evolution. Saying that the gods created the mortals, animals, nature and so many more creatures in their own image is nothing but a lie because the primordial beings had no shape at this point. later they started taking the shape of mortals and in time being somewhat bound too these shapes due to the nature of existence or magic being shaped by the primordial energies, reality and belief. Something. all lesser life posset at this point the powers off these concepts such as belief. That shape the shape of the primordial beings was that would actually make it so. As such the primordial beings was partially forced into these physical forms but still being able to shift their form. This ended up with the primordial beings taking on the nature of what they looked like such as sexuality, life, death or reincarnation since they were truly immortal also being bound too the ravages of time or its true nature reality since time only being the perception of reality and not a true element. This would later cause them madness and depression the newfound sexuality towards mortals and their own kind. Caused the creation second generation gods.

 Boring Prologue part 2

    These new gods ended up being truly bound by the reality of the world they where born in unless they were empowered by truly great amounts of worship. Worship being an aspect of will could increase even their power.


    This were done by the hands of mortals; the empowered gods could even create their own worlds too rule over. A concept that would later be referred too as celestial worship, and they would behigh celestial gods, since if celestial gods procreated with mortals, the next generation would become lesser gods. the fourth generation ended up being called demi gods because of their inability too gain celestial power from worship. These groupings would be called pantheon¡¯s. The only way the celestials could avoid thefall in power of the next generation¡¯s, was too bred with their own. this unavertablebecame the reason for rampant incest among celestials. The celestials also spread their worship and legend too other world, too increase their power and immortality even some times killing of other pantheons orcelestials so as toosteal their worshipers and worlds.


    later the mortals would discover magic and gain the power to manipulate the lesser elements, and in rare cases even some of the higher elements, only urrh was truly limited too only the primordial gods, being the source of near endless power.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    Much later the primordial gods grew tired of their endless existence, finding it more of a curse than a blessing ironically the orderly titans were the last to grow mad, and they kept the order by killing of or throwing the primordial gods in the pit, too stop them from destroying their own creation. other primordial gods would just kill themselves or threw themselves in the pit. Much later even the orderly titans would kill themselves, after they charged their children to keep the pit. Their children being half titan and half god gave them part of the power of a primordial andthe power required to keep the pit. they would be called celestial paramount¡¯s or the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse due to their control over the pit, and superior power.that would give them a lot of privilege and power among the celestials, they gained final say in anything concerning the gods and mortals. To the pleasure of the power-hungry celestials they were mostly apathic, not really giving a shit about much of anything but their charged duty , and as such the other gods and the mortals something they had inherited from their titan fathers.


    This is the story of creation forgotten in time to all but thethe most ancient of creatures, even the true nature of the elements and existence would slowly be forgotten by most beings like the always annoying ents.

 Part 3

    this story starts on the earth you know and live in. in the 21 century a dying realm nearly having lost all magic. the world has succumbed to the lesser form of magic. technology the basest manipulation of energy even their souls grew weaker they were all dying in but a few generation not that they were aware of this fact.


    luckily or tragical as some would call it. The end or the new beginning depending on who you ask would happen.


    this is the story of an 18-year-old kid studying history at oxford university. Not a particular interesting person mostly a tragic person an average looking guy black hair average build no girlfriend, not much family being an orphan, a bit on the intelligent side but nothing truly exceptional. his name being Nathan Smith a perfectly average name. The only truly interesting thing about him is that his grandparents on his mother¡¯s side were very rich although they were also dead. On his father¡¯s side, there wasn¡¯t really any love towards him. His uncle¡¯s and cousins on his father¡¯s side being his only family but not deigning it important to take him in when his parents died. Only being 6 when his parent died did not grant him an easy childhood. being handed over too child protective services and ending up in an orphanage never staying with a foster family for being found a trouble child, he might be classified as a bit of a sociopath because of his harsh upbringing, having only little respect for others or their wellbeing. His remaining family only really started paying attention a year ago when he inherited, his grandmother¡¯s wealth something they were not at all aware of before it happened even Nathan was surprised having thought they gave it to charity. But his grandmother¡¯s will apparently left him everything on his 18 birthday, luckily he was fairly self-dependent already having pretty much grown up on his own. His grandparents had died before his parents and he had no other family on his mother¡¯s side making him inherit everything. his inheritance was made up of an old gothic mansion outside of oxford and a 7-figure bank account. He got an old caretaker called Anni Westmount to take care of it. but he did move in being a teenager living in a mansion didn¡¯t sound all that bad too him.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Some would think that would be the dream. but when you were a recently 19-year-old with no friends and a family that wanted to do nothing but leech from you, it wasn¡¯t really much of a bandage on his wounds. Saying he was average was maybe a big understatement being a depressed lonely rich teenager. luckily for him a Thursday afternoon it would all change.

 Part 4

    I had just gotten home from school. Anni had said goodbye in a doesn¡¯t really care tone only saying, she had left food in the fridge I went to the kitchen too see what


    she had made, turned out it was a casserole sadly I knew that she knows I wasn¡¯t a fan so I took a beer too placate my mood got my homework and pc too the Livingroom and


    turned on the TV. as always, the news where the never ending political garbage people discussing unimportant details never really fixing any real problems. at least I had


    a cold beer and a shitty casserole. that was when it all changed the earth started shaking things falling off the shelves the TV turning on and off, the screams ofthe TV anchors.


    suddenly the greatest pain I had felt in my life came upon me my body felt like it was being ripped apart and put back together my mind seemingly turned on and of.


    my life flashing before my eyes and, strange, unknown pictures and memories being showed in my mind, even what appeared too be a partial language, then as quickly as it


    started it stopped, I passed out. when I woke up It felt absolutely horrible, I was sore all over and had a giant headage the TV was back on, the presenters was spouting nonsense


    about it being the apocalypse India and south Amerika being overrun by monsters, thousands of people having died already and more being reported in everyfem minutes.


    people mutating, murders being committed out of some kind of racism or whatever, I stopped listening and checked the clock. apparently, I had been outfor 3 hours, turning back on the TV the president was giving a statement saying he had declared martial law, and that order will be restored as quickly as possible.


    he advised everyone to go home in an orderly fashion and bla bla bla. so, as any rational person I turned off the TV land ocked the doors and got a few glasses of whisky thenwent straight to bed.


    I woke up too my clock hammering out the most annoying tone that I knew, apparently, it was all just a bad dream so I tried to relax.


    I went straight to the kitchen too, get the same old boring breakfast when I looked at the table I saw, the strangest book I had ever seen, it looked unreal having strange glowingmoving lines, all over so as any stupid kid would do I opened it.


    I got the biggest shock of my life when suddenly there came a Buch voice from the book saying well congratulation you have been blessed or cursed with magic,


    and now you are stuck with me a grimoire former dark Sharman badass. unluckily for you this is the grimoire of a warlock so I will probably be you only friend for the


    rest of your pathetic mortal life kid, so I fainted. I woke up to a condescending laughter apparently, this wasn¡¯t some kind of illusion or some shit. so I found my self


    asking a fucking book what¡¯s your name, it answered back I¡¯m sir Godfrey the mangnificent. my only response was im not going too fucking call you sir Godfrey too which he replied


    well aren¡¯t you are rude little prick. well fuck you talking book how are you even real and what the fuck do you mean a grimoire magic isn¡¯t real. well aren¡¯t you a piece of


    work, what kind of hillbilly are you of course magic is real, have you noticed the on point talking book and the fucking apocalyptic event last night. wait was that real


    so, what is this the end of the world or something I said. well more of the beginning off a new one your world has funnily crashed into the magical world Altos andDid you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.


    your kind of got magic out of the deal. so, what kind of magic did I get. I can summon demons you said i was a warlock, I¡¯m not really into getting my soul eaten. well good


    for you kid you are smarter than you look, only morons start out doing something insanely stupid like summoning a demon or worse a succubus out of some perverted teenage


    misguided fantasy, good way to die in a horrible fashion, at least you didn¡¯t get the run of the mill grimoire you got one with a bound spirit kind of rare by the way by the way, what¡¯s your name kid.


    well I¡¯m Nathan smith and what do you mean does everyone get a grimoire and how can you even speak English I answered.


    no of course only the ones with truly great magic potential gets a grimoire, mostly too stop them from blowing up a square kilometre or worse, and of course I speak English anyone with any decent


    amount of energy can do a translation spell, and for that sake I can pretty much download your memories as your personal grimoire oh glorious master.


    ok glorious master at least you won¡¯t be boring spouting of ironic smack downs already. although the hole reading my mind is kind of disconcerting.


    so how do I learn magic or whatever. well I¡¯m basically your friendly neighbourhood usb stick I can pluck the knowledge into your head although we probably don¡¯t want to do


    it too fast I¡¯m not really into being bound to a retard and having the knowledge and having mastered it is too very different things kid and by the way luckily for


    you I can¡¯t really read your mind only past memories kid don¡¯t really want to see you perverted fantasies either, the weird looking book replied. okay I said how does the amazing


    dark Sharman Godfrey the magninficent end up as a pocket pc and when am i learning magic. well i might have pissed of your neighbourhood evil high priest kid, and well


    we should probably start about now, you are clearly not the run of the mill magic kid you are spouting of quite a bit of magic mojo which tends to attract some nasty


    creatures or worse one of those self-righteous clearly evil priest or paladin, and those kinds of goody too shoes kid.


    well not that I think you are not a bit biased on the hole bible thumpers mater but it sounds like a good idea I answered a sentence I would soon regret when I got up from the basement cowered in chalk salt and virdly vinegar.


    well that was not a horrible experience at all I clearly need a shower and large quantities of alcohol. well at least you got some decent wards down kid and learned the


    most basics of enchanting by the way thank you for rubbing the hole me not being able too drink thing by the way, what¡¯s up with the mansion and general lack


    of family said Godfrey you are not some kind of wirdo. no, I¡¯m just your run of the mill orphan teenage rich kid and didn¡¯t you download my memories. no just the


    interesting stuff kid he said. I just decided to throw him on the couch and get my shower.


    when I got back the TV was on the news channel talking about a size of the population having changed in some way becoming halfblooded something or gaining some


    insignificant magic ability or very rarely real magic compared too mine. although awesomely I¡¯m apparently among the strongest, also a bunch of Altosian


    immigrants came over which probably pissed off the anti-immigration politicians, I imagined at least the politics on the news are going to be less boring now.


    the government had apparently thought about nuking south Amerika and India that they now deferred too as the waste lands being reportedly emptied of all human life.


    but they were turned too better thoughts when the Althosians magical species threatened war not that they were very intimidated before it turned out that the wast majority


    of magical Althosian life is in connected parallel worlds or whatever.


    I guessed the thought that the chance of a series of superpowered intelligent species waging the perfect guerrilla warfare on them was kind of scary.


    I found it a bit strange that the TV was on until I realised that I threw my very annoying sentient grimoire on the couch, him being able of turning on a TV shouldn¡¯t really surprise me.


    So, the world has changed when do I get the game system and stuff Godfrey-? This is not a fucking web novel kid based on some douche bag called weed, this is as real as you and me the magic book answered. Okay you are a magic book what would you know about real. Do you remember how I told you that I could fry your brain kid might want to rethink the hole calling me a magical book and talking about weed, it¡¯s a very useful component in ritual magic he said. I¡¯m not doing weed I¡¯m not a bloody shaman or whatever you where, I don¡¯t want to end up frying my brain oh mighty Godfrey.


    Well aren¡¯t you boring and the hole shopping for magical components is also going to be necessary while you suck at alchemy. enchanting, ritual magic and summoning needs components Godfrey statet.


    I thought you said that summoning demons was stupid or what ever I said.


    Im not talking about summoning some super powerful soul sucking sex demon I¡¯m talking about lesser demons specifically imps ugly weak and relatively stupid also easy to bind and control, the best servants in the world said the magic wonder book. By the way I thought you would have servants and stuff after all you are a rich kid with a mansion.

 part 5

    Ok call the housekeeper go to school get magic stuff and buy large quantities of alcohol and food then summon evil demon stuff.


    Are you retarded kid you have no personal shielding or attack magic you also have no affiliation too an enclave so you also lack political protection. Do you want to be fucked by some bible thumper¡¯s. and go to school What are Tallking about you are a rich warlock? You need to train so get your housekeeper to buy you stuff, we are going to be making a list by the way, then you are going to fire the housekeeper, and get you some useful and loyal servants.


    Why would I fire a perfectly good housekeeper, the whole quitting school is not a bad idea though and when do I get too leave the house I said.


    You are going to fire the housekeeper because you can never trust poor powerless humans. lesser demons on the other hand has to do whatever you say and they are going to be jumping up and down, to please you since they are snacks in the underworld. Getting a leprechaun is a priority too. And the whole leaving the house thing, is when you are not weak as shit Godfrey said.


    Ok fine get powerful and stuff I¡¯m not exactly opposed to the idea I am a teenager, but whats with the leprechaun.


    Good I¡¯m finally getting through that thick head of yours. A leprechaun is not a fey creature under the rainbow, but protecting a pot of gold is not far from the truth they are greed demons. Which makes them a perfect butler for a rich kid with a mansion, although you might still want to hide a pot of gold in the basement or something to make it happy, and no that¡¯s not a joke, so get your ass moving kid Godfrey said in an annoyed tone.


    Soo like a poor little servant too the mighty book, I wrote down what he wanted then went to the phone and called the school too quiet. And made Ann get the stuff I needed. Then Godfrey the slavedriver got me too practice magic. Later when ann came by whit my stuff I gave her the money said that I needed to cancel the contract she naturally got a bit mad but nothing a little money couldn¡¯t fix.


    Then I went to the stupid book put my hand on it Godfrey startet laughing evily, then my mind exploded and I passed out on the couch.


    When I woke up it felt A fond of new knowledge in my head but as Godfrey said I really needed too practice it too gain anything out of it.


    So kid did you sleep well dident really seem all that nice, now get some food and take me to the basement we are going to summon some demons muhaha came from the book.


    You really need to practice your evil laugh Godfrey I only got a grunt in response, so I went too get something too eat and took Godfrey too the always so comfy basement.


    So, I thought this would be the part where I do an epic training montage with cool music and shit but reality was much more boring.


    So how do you do the whole demon summoning I always wanted too see a lepracon.


    Well you see kid when I told you that you would need a pot of gold i was actually serious, so we will start with some old-fashioned studying, would you turn to page 203 and get your notebook and pencil out Godfrey said.


    Dude you? Book? Whatever its empty, how would I know what page I was on, and you didn¡¯t say anything about a notebook and pencil.


    That¡¯s because I was fucking with you kid he said, and the book opened and turned to a seemingly random page on which words started appearing runes and diagrams appeared too.If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Ok whatever how do I even know Atlantean Godfrey seems odly convenient.


    Its part of the merger and no its not ecsactly odly convenient, theres like a shitload of magical languages so not really. but it is kind of weird hence we are going to check your heritage on top of your affinities.


    So, I might have merged with some kind of magic creature I seem perfectly human too me.


    Well you look like shit too me kid, but what would I know about appearance¡¯s I¡¯m a beautiful shinny book powered by the power of friendship, magic and glitter. And the hole being human you are probably only 10 or 20 % something so it wouldn¡¯t really show kid.


    Ok ignoring the twinkle star reference how exactly do we do this?


    Ten minutes of boring explanation later. Ok Godfrey so I need to draw these runes in this patern outside of the pentagram, then place my blood in the bowl along with vinegar and some incense sticks in also seemingly random places by the way how is the vinegar helpful.


    Well the vinegar isn¡¯t really necessary but I like vinegar and I can¡¯t eat it anymore, so you better got danm use it. But back on the topic yes pretty much. So get going kid.


    Ok I guess I will get going. half an hour later, totally not because of my shitty drawing skills, I place the vinegar cut my hand like some emo and say what Godfrey insist is the magical words simsalabim.


    There¡¯s a puff of smoke in the middle of the circle and a shit load of smoke appears and then a lot of weird, word/rune looking stuff appears in the pentagram and some colours and stuff.


    This seems exceptionally complicated Godfrey, does everyone use this metod. Of course not you just have shitty ingredients.


    Back on topic that¡¯s pretty decent, you got a minor affinity for life, a decent one for fire and corruption, surprisingly you also have an exceptional affinity for soul bordering on sorcery level. So Woo you just levelled up. The fact that you have an affinity for soul and corruption is pretty ridiculous considering how rare soul sorcery is, the corruption less so since you where flacked as a warlock. Turns out you are like 11% percent phoenix hence the fire and life stuff, not that those affinities are rare or anything, this thos explain your ridiculous mana regeneration and how your wounds are already closed. Also it turns out that the atlantian isent random, you are probaply a decendent of the guy who destroyed the place.


    Cool 11% phoenix I knew I was a total badass and now I¡¯m invincible.


    Well invincible is a bit of an overstatement you are pretty much just goanna heal better, not really age, and regenerate your reserves faster you are also not going to start pulling gigantic fire balls out your ass, you just regenerate your reserves faster, they are not that much bigger so while you won¡¯t run out unless you do something really big, which is pretty convenient. also there might be other small stuff. Getting back to the epic training montage I¡¯m going to teach you a bit of mage craft kid.


    Well I don¡¯t find being immortal too be an overstatement and, what do you mean mage craft I thought I was a warlock Godfrey?


    Mage craft is just the direct manipulation of the elements kid, a mage is someone who primarily use that. Getting back on track look at page 413 he says laughing the book rapidly changing pages.


    Do you even need to change page I say I only get the cringeworthy, no but its cooler.


    So, I decide to look at the page luckily, or probably intentionally its in Atlantean. There¡¯s a couple of power words that apparently helps call up the elements and other stuff.


    inumbrass dark magic power word.


    firuas fire magic power word.


    librano heal magic.


    Ok so I just say the magic words and it happens or whatever?


    No this is the theory training you are going to have too practice in the back yard later. Also the power words are only necesary in the begining, and when you wanna pull out Big stuff. so put your hand on the book kid.


    I don¡¯t really like where this is going but I do it anyways, the words are Quite literally seared into my brain or at least it feels that way. Was that really necessary Godfrey.


    We don¡¯t want you forgetting the stuff in the middle of combat do you want to spend a few hours memorising it he says. Kind of I respond. Stop whining kid, ok moving on he says the book turning pages again and a lot of diagrams/runes appear. I read the Atlantean and it pretty much translates into .


    light spell activation. lumon


    common energy shield spell. Activation shail.


    miscellaneous personal warding, passive effects mind effects, tracing magic, and scrying, resistance too curse magic and voodoo, and such things. Reveal magic spell, tracking spell. And some weird intent based connecter thingy.


    Ok why is it diagrams and runes doesn¡¯t seem spell like, besides, the power words and don¡¯t I need an affinity and stuff I say.


    That¡¯s because its neither spells nor power words you can read right, its says activation you suck at spell work so we are going to do it with spell circles/enchantment so call a guy that can do tattoos Godfrey says.

 Part 6

    What I¡¯m getting tattoos?


    Get your shit together kid you are suppose too be an evil warlock this is not a fairy tale kid.


    Fine I say cleaning up the basement except the pentagram, that I had to carve into the floor and pour iron in, an incredible hassle, but not that bad with the help of a convenient magic book. Then I go upstairs call a tattoo artist tell him that I want some tattoos done at my house, naturally he¡¯s not that keen on it until I offer him a shitload of money. always handy too be rich, he says that he¡¯s going to be there at 5 so I have about, an hour and half too practice my mage craft in the backyard. So I spend my time learning the classics fire balls, flamethrower, weird darkness carpet that Godfrey said would help with dark magic, dark shield thingy, corruption bolt that litteraly eats a tree and leaves the remaning wood weird and malformed and lastly dark spikes and tentacle stuff not at all for perverted stuff, mostly because I don¡¯t have a girlfriend or anything of the sort. 10 minutes before the tattoo dude should arrive i get a drink and a bit to eat, okay I might have become a bit of an alcoholic but it is the apocalypse or whatever sew me. I remind Godfrey too put alcohol on the list too witch he adamantly agress too saying it might get the violence and killing too start sonner. (in the story).


    The tattoo artist comes up the driveway tells me his name, not that it really matters what he¡¯s called.


    I show him what I want to get done witch he writes over on paper, I explain where I want it and get on the table. 3 hours of boredom and pain later, he leaves and I¡¯m now the proud owner of a few tattoos on my back and one on each forearm.


    So, are you satisfied slave driver?


    No, you are going to go update the house wards. the page on the bock shifts so I get too work doesn¡¯t really take that long practise makes perfect I guess. So what now? Put your hand on me I groan and do it getting a headache from getting the activation words etched in my mind but dident faint, guess I¡¯m getting use too it too. Godfrey tells me too go try out the active spells a few times turns out you only need to think these. And apparently the passive ones is on all the time, I get it done so what now.


    What now? you are nearly a genuine fucking god danm warlock, only one thing remaning until you get too get hammered and hopefully kill some stuff Godfrey laughs.


    Fine what¡¯s left to do I¡¯m getting tired of this boring shit I respond.


    Well I don¡¯t find summoning demons boring do you kid?


    No that actually sounds awesome so let¡¯s get started your glorious fucker.


    Naturally I stereotypically have to go to the basement, too do drawing, incense, blood and vinegar stuff again practice makes perfect I get it done on only a few tries until Godfrey is satisfied.


    So, do I get too summon something cool or just the imps or what, not that imps aren¡¯t cool I say.


    That depends on your iq kid, what do you think now get started.


    Cool shit then I read what I have to say and again it ends with simzalabim. What¡¯s up with the simzalabim are you fucking with me godfrey.


    No sadly not, magic is intent based so since a lot of people think its actual magic words it becomes so.


    Ok whatever I say, and say the magi sentence ending with simzalabim. Again with the smoke what¡¯s up with that I say. Followed by a voice from the circle saying oh god no not another lonely stupid master talking to himself in a voice that sounds like a Santa Claus elf. The smoke disappears and your steotypical imp appears tiny, red, wings, horns and the rest. Godfrey laughs and says yerr he is pretty stupid, but atleast he dosent talk too himself. The imps sighs and says thats always something, so are you sure you wanted to summon me the typical teenage warlock summons a succubus and gets eaten? Yes I¡¯m pretty sure I don¡¯t want to get eaten even if it is a pretty pleasurabol death so Godfrey how do you do this again I state. Do you ever listen kid the page turns read this, so I do and feel a pull and breeze coming from the circle. the imp flies to the table and starts eating vinegar while looking at the magic book. So, Godfrey? Emm he seems pretty free is that suppose too happen. Yes it is when you happen to have an awesome magic book that can bind demons too intent based contracts, so you don¡¯t have too banish and summon them all the time kid, I keep track of them at a distance and keep them under control Godfrey states. and its even bound not too hurt you and still listens too your comands.


    So imp what¡¯s your name? well I prefer not to be called an imp I¡¯m a high class imp intelligent and shit, not that high class and imp in the same sentence isn¡¯t a bit of an oxymoron, but back on track you couldn¡¯t hope too pronounce my name master, without frying your throat from using a demonic language, not that you couldn¡¯t try, although I would prefer you didn¡¯t going back to hell kind of sucks. I¡¯m by the way extremely happy that I don¡¯t have to get banished back too hell you just became my number one master, not that I have had that many. My last master called me Gary so you can do that too can I get like some imp minions too torture with work? so I can spend my time lazing about eating vinegar and seeing the sights of your world or house I guess.


    Sure, Gary I will get right on that. So, Godfrey apparently gets Gary too make himself scarce cleaning and stuff. Then I boringly do the ritual 6 times Godfrey fixing the ritual for me too get stupider imps don¡¯t really want too get more annoying sarcastic fuckers around the house. Godfrey gets the others too do stuff or what ever. kinda cool by the way demon minions, doing your bloody housework very evil overlord, much awesome.


    So, Godfrey whats next on the list. Now we get too the good part we are gonna track down a magic bar, get drunk and find out the location of a community neutral trading ground. You are rich by the way probably going to have to get a lot of money, magic shit is expensive.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    How am I going to carry a shitload of money and a magic book I don¡¯t exactly have a bag of holding?


    I don¡¯t know kid get a sport back or a suitcase or something and why do you think we are going to a magic trading ground, backs of holding are awesome. It¡¯s not like this is a video game where you have some stupid inventory.


    So, I do just that get a suitcase with wheels and everything, get Godfrey, loade up and get going. Wait I have to get a cab. What¡¯s wrong with you kid how few braincells do you have? I just ignore the endless banter and call a cab. so I get to light up a cigarette and chill in the front yard of my now totally evil looking mansion the demons flying around fixing my house and yard adding runes for, warding how fucking convenient is that whuu no more boring ward work, minions are so useful no shit people summon them despite the risk of getting your soul eaten. the new wards totally ad too the evil mansion look being, visible too even normals, the blackish and red waves are just awesome, I have never felt cooler.


    The cab pulls up I walk towards it and naturaly fall face first into the dirt and right in my victory moment. But I know bloody magic so I use A bit of fire magic too fix the dirt, water and blood on my face. being part phoenix is so cool not having to go around whit a smashed up face is awesome.


    I get in the cap the cab driver looks at me strangely and ask what¡¯s up with the magic stuff and evil looking mansion, are you a wizard harry he says. I laugh and say what¡¯s your name newly hired private driver of the bad ass warlock Nathan Smith wow I really need a name change I answer.


    Okay I¡¯m Ibrahim and what do you mean private chauffer I¡¯m a cab driver mister warlock.


    I¡¯m rich you are my new private chauffer, I¡¯m pretty sure you can¡¯t get demons to drive your car legally and I¡¯m a warlock driving would be bad for my image.


    Well the demon thingy doesn¡¯t really sound like a safe work place, so unless you can fix that I¡¯m not so sure about it, although you being rich does sound promising mister warlock.


    A voice coming from the car says we can just ward the car too keep them out if he is skittish, but a cab isn¡¯t really a decent ride kid? Wow is that a demon mister warlock I¡¯m not having one of those in my car. Not a demon Ibrahim it¡¯s a magic book called Godfrey and as he said we are just gonna ward your new Mercedes, but you just get demon warding, so don¡¯t worry the little red ones are as dangerous as a kitten when bound by the way.


    Ok magic book Godfrey I can deal with that and as long as I¡¯m not there when the magic kittens are doing their stuff, I guess I can deal with all off this. You got a private chauffer mister warlock.


    Do you have a family Ibrahim a live in chauffeur sounds cool.


    Emm the demon thing again mister warlock?


    Ohh right my parent has a vacation home up the road again I can have it warded.


    I do have a family mister warlock but the rise in the housing marked caused by the merger and immigrants maked even a small vecation home from a guy with a mansion sound good mister warlock.


    Ohh don¡¯t be worried about size it¡¯s about the size of a house in the superb being rich is awesome. can you explain the whole situation going on, pretty much been in the house practising magic all this time Ibrahim.


    Sure mister warlock what¡¯s the address? I give it to him he starts driving and explains how the problem is pretty much under control in Britain, they are dealing with the pest control that have been in various areas. The whole martial law is over hence I¡¯m working, they have put the whole magical communities under religious freedom laws and some kind of alternative culture law, they made up too placate them allowing them too relatively keep too them self and mostly police themselves with these city council¡¯s they have made you guys. still you have to follow most human laws though, clearly they had to make some exceptions tho he said. Going on he stated that the chaos had gotten as much under control as possible. its Michael worse in most non-European countries due to more religious sentiment the freedom of the west pulling through. On the global situation, its very chaotic south Amerika and India is completely fucked but the whole nuking stuff and war on the horizon stopped when the magical off worlders, crushed north Korea for not falling in line, witch apparently unsurprisingly got the UN on the job. That was pretty much the jist of it the rest was kind of boring. Apparently, it¡¯s been like 2 week what the fuck is this shit I ask Godfrey. Well remember the whole traning montage and passing out , a lot longer than you thought. how didn¡¯t I like starve to death? you have magic which helps and turns out you are part phoenix so stop whining kid. Mister magic book Godfrey sounds very wise mister warlock, you should listen too what he has too say young padawan plus part phonix sounds pretty cool and with your perception of time, much time with family, I will have indeed says Ibrahim. I just decide too light up a cigarette and get my bottle of whisky from the suit case.


    Mister warlock hey mister warlock I wake up and lock around oh you are right Im Here ibrahim. God job on that just stay here with godfrey. Wait what there¡¯s bloody wards on that building. I don¡¯t really see anything mister warlock. Oh y we probably got to get you some personal wards we can¡¯t have my driver getting sicked by some psycho normo or something, that would be highly embarrassing get a gun too Ibrahim I say. Emm sir I¡¯m not so sure about the whole buying a gun in the UK thing. But I guess the wards doesn¡¯t sound all that bad as long as it doesn¡¯t involve demons or something dangerous mister warlock. I wouldn¡¯t worry about the gun permit stuff there¡¯s the whole cultural freedom thingy you talked about and no demons or danger involved at all in those kinds of wards. You are kind of open minded about this whole magic thing except for your phobia of demons Ibrahim.


    Well sir I¡¯m a refuge from Afghanistan not really much place for whining about my situation. and protection and a good job is always nice.


    Sure, thing Ibrahim got to get going I say as I get out of the car, getting into the bank despite the whole wards thing proved kind of boring nothing really happened probably intent based.


    I stand in line as a perfectly normal citizen, walk up to the old lady and say hello. The lady answers what can I do for you young man on this fine day. I say that I want a redrawel and another card for my spending¡¯s account, I also want to set up a payment plan so I explain about my new driver and how he needs too by a new car too use. She says of course sir I will just do the paperwork for the card and payment plan it will take a few minutes. I wait until she gets back she hands over the paper work. So how much money do you want to redraw sir so I put my suitcase on the table and say enough to fill this, in hindsight probably not my best of moments. She puts up her hands and say no need to do anything rash sir long story short, guns are pulled on me and I try to explain that I wasn¡¯t robbing the bank nobody really listened, until I utter inumbrass and darkness spills forth shots are fired and is stopped by the darkness a few energy bolts are fired of from the wards and they appear to be trying to snuff out my magic hmm probably not powerful warlock proff. So chaos insures until I yell would you all shut the fuck up and relax I¡¯m not robbing the bank I¡¯m just making a withdrawal.


    Okay sir says one of the guards we are all relaxed while he ushers for the others too put away their guns. A withdrawal I¡¯m sure we can fulfil that request no need to get violent sir how much do you want.


    Well I didn¡¯t get violent you did, and I want the suitcase filled. the guards gets one of the clerks too come forth and tells him what I want jadajada boring stuff and finally I get too leave the bank how is everything so difficult, I thoughmagic was suposeto fix problems

 Part 7

    Time skip after giving Ibrahim the paperwork and his new card, I give him directions from my intent based tracking magic, too find a magic bar or whatever. Another time skip a shitload of stupid comments about my behaviour from Ibrahim and Godfrey and finally I¡¯m walking into a bar, the best moment of my entire day going through that door, I felt like the guy from Shawshank redemption.


    Not really surprising since I have the whole, detect magic thingy going on proves kind of annoying pretty girls turning into trolls, also there¡¯s like a lot of weird thingies like frog looking people gnomish people, goblin¡¯s and shit. Only about half of the people in there is human looking and some of, those have auras to. Naturally as the perfect gentleman I am. I just walk up to the bartender not commenting about the freaks. The bartenders turns out to be a dwarf like lord of the rings dwarf. he¡¯s even called Glob... something¡­ Ironfist. That¡¯s so cool I¡¯m like Gandalf or more like Saruman being evil I think. while ordering a double whisky and asking him about the magic trading ground. Turns out its underground downtown in the fucking sewer, why a fucking sewer you may ask, goblins would be the answer. Later I arrive at the sewer entrance taking my money and godfrey with me, 2 orcs are outside asking for money to enter, so naturally I throw fireballs in their face because I¡¯m a badass warlock. Godfreys only comment was im pretty sure that they weren¡¯t shaking you down, but just asking for entrance money. I just continue walking into the sewer ignoring him what would he know, there¡¯s frogmen everywhere chasing rats so annoying. a random wall whit an aura appears. Ok Godfrey what¡¯s up with the glowing wall. Just put some force in the push kid as in mana. so, I do and I¡¯m thrilled when it opens up like the one in harry potter, such cool, much impressed. Turns out the shopping district is not all fine and dandy like in harry potter though. pretty much a shit hole lots of ugly critters, ugly building only the occasional hot girl too, distract from it all, although even they have magic auras or pointed ears and stuff still nice too look at.


    So where are we going Godfrey? Magic store kid how hard is it? Well there¡¯s like a shitload of shops, Jims wand shop. Beacherybli, something alchemicals, oh Rocksmashers emporium, naturally I go for that, because dwarfs are awesome.


    So, human what can I do for you?


    Well I need a few things I give him a list that I made with Godfrey with magic components I also need suits, gold and a cool staff I answer.


    Well I can do all of that but suits? I guess I know a guy down the street, that can come fix that up for you but isn¡¯t robes more wizardly and what kind of staff do you want, classic ironwood or maybe something more exotic, hex hearth wood says Rocksmasher.


    I¡¯m a warlock not a wizard, I want black suits, and an iron rod staff also I need like a magic wallet thingy.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    Okay lord warlock, I will get right on that, what kind of iron rod do you want you don¡¯t need a focus as a warlock, not that I would dare question a warlock about magic mi lord he says looking scared.


    Don¡¯t worry I¡¯m chill and no despite being a total badass, I did not know that, so now I want a rod that spews lightning like that Zeus guy.


    Lightning like Zeus doable but highly expensive?


    Don¡¯t worry I¡¯m rich my dwarven friend. I light up a cigarette while the dwarf finds my stuff and gets some gnome guy, too take measurements for my suits surprisingly they come with the stuff in like 10 minutes.


    That will be 600 parkos for the magical gods, 2 parkosa for the suits sir, you might wanna get a back of holding for 10 parkosa sir.


    Yes, back of holding too, I say to the gnome who starts packing my stuff, leaving my new wallet on the counter along with a suit. Soo rod, books and gold?


    He goes to the back room and comes forward whit a book and a wooden case. He opens the case showing a 30 cm rod that seems too fit in the hand grip and everything I¡¯m such a genius a staff I make great decisions although it¡¯s more of a wand, but who cares it spews lightning totally badass. We only have one book about soul magic and its 50 parkosa sir, the rod is 250 parkosa with the strap. Strap? oh of course sir it¡¯s so it can be drawn from under your jacket. Only for my amazing follow-up statement that¡¯s so James bond.


    Naturally the dwarf only looks at me weirdly, so I say Okay what¡¯s the rate on parkosa my friend?


    Well its I000 parkos magic silver coins for 1 parkosa magic gold coins¡¯ sir.


    Okay magic coins not just gold and silver, so how much can I get for this opening the suit case.


    With wide eyes, he says well I will get Boba (the gnome) to count the money, and you can probaply get a dragon for a grimoire that size.


    A dragon that¡¯s truly tempting Mr dwarf. Only for Godfrey too say annoyed, im worth much more than a dragon dwarf... well that can be discussed Godfrey I¡¯m pretty sure a dragon won¡¯t give you lip.


    No but it will give you teeth kid. Touch¨¦ Godfrey touch¨¦ so no Mr dwarf sadly it¡¯s not for sale.


    Well of course lord warlock having counted the money its about 1000 parkosa sir after your purchases. Only for Godfrey too state its more like 1500 dwarf. now stop annoying the friendly dwarf, dwarves are awesome lord of the rings, they don¡¯t cheat people.


    Sr sir but he¡¯s kind of right haggling excluded its about 1200, and thank you lord but I don¡¯t really know what lord of the rings is. Only too be followed by Godfreys predictably, I told you so comment.


    Well whatever, this is getting boring would you kindly pack my stuff and fill my wallet, you can throw out my old clothes and the suitcase. Of course, sir and soon I am ready to go, cool clothes, magic rod, that¡¯s not compensating for anything under my jacket. disappointing looking back over my shoulder with Godfrey in. turns out that makes him happy says it¡¯s like being on drunks, Well that¡¯s one more problem solved x by getting Godfrey of my back. After tipping the dwarf, I was on my way I was soon back home. Gary sitting on the couch watching TV. he gotthe others to get the stuff in order, I also throw the totally stoned Godfrey on the couch too get a good night¡¯s sleep.

 part 8

    I wake up too Gary¡¯s panicked voice, so what¡¯s got your panties in a twist. Well master there¡¯s a group of people outside trying to break the wards.


    Why is there always new stuff? Can¡¯t I get I day of relaxation. Well master it¡¯s kind of their fault so if someone should get punished its them. Of course it is Gary, I say grabbing my magic wonder rod of doom, changing out from my pyjamas doesn¡¯t really seem all that important, they kind of look like robes I guess.


    I run out in the living room yell at Gary too take Godfrey with him and follow behind me at a safe distance. There¡¯s 7 people out there. 6 of they are in fucking in mediaeval fucking white Armor and swords and shields, and all the knight shit. And a guy in something that looks like a priest outfit yelling prayers and throwing some kind of white bolds, at the house wards. The wards are still there although they are probably not going to hold much longer, flaring up and throwing of energy at them not really doing anything due to the priest¡¯s wards stopping them. I yell inumbrass from the top of my lungs throwing dark bolts at them and fire a shitload of lightning from my rod. The priest wards flare up but still holds, the knights run towards me but the priest appears to be shielding them too. I divert my fire power towards one of them and manage to break through his wards but his Armor shields him. Godfrey yells at me too stop using darkness and switch too fire. So, I yell firuas and send fire bolds at him he starts too scream and falls over. I switch to 2 others and soon they go down too. The other priest changes wards, and my magic stopped working on the knight. Godfrey yelled too channel as much darkness through the rod as I could and blast the priest so I do. A huge black lightning bolt flies towards, the priest his wards breaks through his stomach and he appears to turn into a mummy. The 3 remaining knights started hammering at my mana shield, throwing me around like pinball, they break my leg in the process. I improvised and drew power from my link with the demons and Godfrey, and manage too fry 2 of them with a flame trower, but the last one only lost his helmet and half his face was burned. My mana shield faltered from a swing of his sword hitting my shoulder cutting into it. Only for a clawed hand to stab him through the neck. Godfrey yelled at me too cauterize my wounds, a highly painful experience, then just before I passed out, he yelled at Gary too do something.


    I woke up in my bed happy to have survived the fight, still I felt pretty horrible my reserves felling empty, which shouldn¡¯t really be possible because of the phoenix blood. I looked at my shoulder while I had a pretty big scar it wasn¡¯t really as big as I thought it would be, the phoenix blood probably pulling through on that at least. I got up from my bed going to the kitchen too get some alcohol, too dull the pain then I went to the living room and laid on the sofa. Godfrey laying on the table and Gary watching TV, I naturally thanked Gary for the save, but he just answered that hell sucks so it wasn¡¯t really anything to thank for.


    Well kid I guess you didn¡¯t do that bad for your first fight, but I¡¯m still pretty mad about the whole drawing from me, you asshole couldn¡¯t you just have drawn from the demons it was fucking painful Godfrey said.


    I answered well you get too fucking fry my brain regularly o evil grimoire stop whining . Well touch¨¦ kid he uttered. How come I have empty reserves Godfrey I thought you said the whole phoenix thing would fix that I said. Well kid the phoenix blood draws a lot of power from you continually too heal you, and I¡¯m also drawing power from you too fix my reserves too. At least I managed to steal their souls, whit the help of Gary. You also pretty much doubled your reserves due to the drawing from us which should have blown you up not that they were big before, cool being part phoenix hu. still I don¡¯t recommend doing it again while imps can¡¯t really eat your soul from something like that anything bigger probably would have.


    Ok don¡¯t draw power from demons. And how the fuck did you steal their soul thought you needed a contract to do that? I answered.


    Well kid since you drew from me I managed to steal some of your affinities specifically corruption and soul. Turns out soul affinity is a lot more useful for a warlock than I thought. In my experience its only really useful for water and earth mages for golem creation and advanced stationary enchantment¡¯s. Then I combined a few rituals improvised a lot and with the help of Gary I was successful, incredibly useful since I think I probably can do it again. The corruption can probably give me the ability to absorb other books again highly useful. This probably makes me one of the most awesome and powerful grimoires in existence cool shit kid.


    Ok no boring buying soul¡¯s thing, that¡¯s pretty awesome more mind searing not so much. What do warlocks even use souls for Godfrey.


    I thought you had gotten more intelligent since the whole drawing power through your bonds kid, not that it was very smart but you didn¡¯t exactly know that. And warlocks use it to summon greater demons why do you think you don¡¯t have a lepracon yet?


    Oh, I guess that should have been pretty obvious. Hey couldn¡¯t you absorb other stuff like my rod or bag of holding. That¡¯s pretty genius kid although It will probably require a shit load of energy. But since the evil fucking bible thumper had an amulet he was drawing faith power from his flock, we could probably drain them. it will probably kill them and destroy their souls, and also the amulet. whose worth a shipload of money by the way. But it¡¯s probably worth it making me more awesome. And it will also get the rest of the inquisition cell killed off.


    What do you mean drawing power from faith through an amulet? And killing of a shitload of people doesn¡¯t seem very smart Godfrey.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    A have explained before that magic is affected by will and belief, faith is a pretty powerful type of belief. And the whole amulet was probably owned by a saint or some shit, as such people they believe it¡¯s a holly artefact, it connects it with them, and not just them too their god. And killing a shitload of people, probably, its only about a hundred or so and since they have faith in the amulet it¡¯s going to draw a shitload of power absorbing the rod will probably even make the effects, even more powerful and the increase their power will make my reserves bigger, so I can use them better. You just got yourself a fucking legendary artefact level fucking up kid. It¡¯s also not like it can be tracked people will just think. it¡¯s some idiot summoning some truly powerful demon like a succubus getting eaten, and allowing it to roam for a while. So you won¡¯t get a shitstorm from it said Godfrey.


    Oh, succubus killing hundreds of people I guess not summoning one was pretty good advice. Also, I guess the whole idea doesn¡¯t sound so bad after all, I am supposed to be an evil warlock after all I said.


    Y succubus¡¯s pretty much suck, badumchi. Now get something to eat and take a nap kid you are not very useful right now. So, I did.


    Next day Gary woke me up. I got some breakfast and I felt pretty good the bigger reserve, fells very good. So, Godfrey what¡¯s the plan? Well the plan is doing the ritual too make me more powerful before any potential, remaining inquisitors manage to disconnect the amulet while they are assholes, they are not stupid enough to allow a connection too their flock in the hands of a warlock said Godfrey.


    Ok cool gather up stuff go too mouldy basement I muttered annoyed.


    What are you talking about, do you think your servants do nothing all day, they have cleaned it up already and prepared the ritual he said.


    Oh, cool Godfrey, I go going to the basement, that¡¯s now entirely cowered in runes and other stuff, so it¡¯s pretty hard not step on something important. Okay Godfrey this looks pretty ominous followed by godfrey frying my brain but I¡¯m awesome, so I would never faint.


    Well kid it¡¯s a pretty extensive ritual we are doing, now go towards the bowl in the middle, put me in the pentagram in the middle of the other artefact¡¯s and stand in the big pentagram on the right.


    I follow the instructions he gave me.


    Ok now kid you say the magic paragraph I just gave you he says.


    So, I do the paragraph it turns out to be more of a novel than a paragraph, again it ends in simzalabim. I feel a small draw from my reserves, and all the runes light up a few minutes pass, I start thinking that the ritual might have failed, but I stay quiet since Godfrey doesn¡¯t comment on it.


    Pretty soon about half of the runes turn away from mana glow, too white and the other half turns red. There comes a flood of white energy mixed whit grey rushing to the amulets. The amulets light up and the glow turns black. All the artefact¡¯s but the grimoire turns too energy and rushes towards the Godfrey and the grimoire is cowered in a giant puff of smoke, when it clears Godfrey is cowered in a lot of new glowing lines. Cool shit I say and pick up my book.


    Now you have a super legendry and awesome artefact, the ever amazing grimoire Godfrey the mighty, Godfrey says.


    I think the biggest change is your ego Godfrey I answer.


    Pff, I¡¯m like insanely more powerful, I can like do a lot of things, throw black lightning, change size, store a shitload of stuff, even soul. He states.


    Wait what I say, if you can¡¯t hold souls, where did you store the inquisitor¡¯s souls?


    Well in an object of course he says while I make it too the living room. O what kind of object?


    Look at the table kid he says.


    Wait what you stored souls in a bloody rock Godfrey. that seems kind of condescending towards their souls I say.


    What do you care kid they were bible thumpers? Touch¨¦ Godfrey.


    Now kid I¡¯m having one of the imps get a chain he¡¯s going to attach it to me, so go get some alcohol or whatever you are going to need kid.


    So, I do and make it back to the living room, the imp is still attaching the chain too Godfrey. So, I turn on the news watch the classic friends. Naturally there¡¯s a breaking news story, about how 243 people died all at the same time looking like they had died of dehydration, they had also figured out that it was done by magic. The local leader of the black enclave a guy called Nathaniel black is explaining how it most likely was done by an amateur earthen summoner, and that he would already be dead, and the demon would have been banished too hell now. Then he urges all earthen practitioners too go to the local relevant enclave too get proper, training and guidance and proper magic protocol. Then he goes on about in being a horrible tragedy and them doing everything too stop such a thing from ever happening again


    Well that¡¯s a bit bloodier than I thought Godfrey.


    Stop whining kid says Godfrey having had the chain attached around him too keep the book closed. and a longer one too probably have over your shoulder like the priest happened to have. An imp appeared whit the book on soul magic, I had bought placed it on Godfrey only for it too be absorbed by him. Now kid put me around your neck he shrinks too become like an amulet making it possible.


    I follow his instructions luckily, I was seated on the couch because I feel a horrible pain in my entire body but not my mind I pass out again.


    I wake up and say fuck you Godfrey What¡¯s up whit that I didn¡¯t even get any knowledge.


    Well you really should say thank you I fixed your tattoos. What fixed my tattoos I check my arms turns out my previous tattoos, have been removed and lines appear to be under my skin instead. Ok what the fuck is this Godfrey.


    Instead of having crappy tattoos I scripted them directly on your aura also I changed, it so all the spell scribing would come from me, instead from the crappy tattoos so now your protected from me instead of crappy tattoos, also it keeps you from leaving me too be bored, all kind of shit places since you would be without protection except in your house, I don¡¯t really want to go to bed whit you anyhow. Also, it gives you more powerful and versatile spell work so thank my powerup.


    Oh, the whole being whit you all the time I¡¯m not really so keen on, but I guess I don¡¯t really have much of a choice. The whole superpower full spell work is kind of cool I say.


    Well it¡¯s not really that more powerful kid. You really need the wizard affinities. Reality and arcana for that. True wizards are actually pretty rare most of them are just mages or witches. Although it is more versatile and the whole intend control is much better since I do it now, also you can channel and throw black lightning or just lightning bolts from your hand, also you have level up by gaining an inventory.


    That¡¯s actually very cool despite the whole lack of large power spike I say.


    Well kid getting political protection from that Nathaniel black guy, and summoning a leprechaun, should make you quite more powerful.


    The now famous leprechaun sounds fucking awesome Godfrey.

 part 9

    So, Godfrey have my minions fixed up the basement for the summoning.


    Of course, they have you were out for 4 hours¡¯ kid. I guess I shouldn¡¯t be that surprised about that at this point, so let¡¯s go get some more minions.


    So basement it is. I stand in the little pentagram after placing a pot of gold in the other one. Then I do the whole demon chanting think and poof there¡¯s a leprechaun, green suit, hat and everything kind of cool I think. So little warlock at least you provided me a pot of gold. So, what can I do for you mister summoner?


    I need a butler I say.


    Ohh a continual contract I only serve the wealthy, in that capacity a single pot of gold is not enough mister warlock.


    Well I have more gold I¡¯m also highly rich in this worlds currency, so I could get a lot more gold and the name is Nathan. Only for Gotfrey to follow up with he also just killed of an inquisitor cell and acquired there weaponry and a holly grimoire Godfrey states. and I¡¯m Godfrey a legendary class grimoire.


    I have another grimoire the dwarf said a could get a dragon from one of those, I totally want a dragon I say. Well you can probably only get a white dragon egg, for a lesser holy grimoire Godfrey follows up. Hmm what¡¯s a white egg I¡¯m not doing some shitty holly dragon I want a cool one I say.


    Well lord Nathan a white egg is not holly it¡¯s an ice dragon, and I can deal whit that kind of wealth if you can kill of people like that and take their wealth I guess you will become a lot richer. we can probably also acquire a lot more gold from holy weaponry and Armor on the black market a lot of practitioner¡¯s love too corrupt such stuff and if you have a lot of money from this world you can probably trade it for a lot of gold, since the magic community lacks this world currency if the rumours about a merger being correct. Also mi lord I¡¯m Alfred.


    The rumours a true about that. And I guess you can deal with the whole trading thingy you are probably better at it that me. And what do you mean with the whole lord thingy?


    Well lord Nathan as a higher-class demon I have too recognise a warlock with a legendary class grimoire as a lord. And thank you for allowing me to take care of your wealth I promise to take well care of it. Also my lord a dragon gets quite large in time are you sure you have the room even if you have the ability to bind that class of dragon with lord Godfrey.


    Well there¡¯s a bomb shelter at the opposite side of site of the mansion and you could just have the imps expand it I say.


    Well of course lord Nathan imps are highly useful creatures u should summon more, but what is this bomb shelter you speak of. Only for Godfrey too answer it¡¯s a fortified underground room, designed to withstand a type of explosive technological air strike. Hmm technology so crude but useful I will probably have to hire a dwarven work team we will need a quite huge place too eventually hold an adult dragon, we will also need some kind of gate too let it out at some point.


    You do what you got to do Alfred how do you even feed a dragon and hatch a dragon egg.


    Well a dragon just needs natural mana and since there¡¯s a minor leyline above your dwelling it will keep it feed for a while although we will have to make a major soul powered ritual to divert other leylines to make it a major crossing, might make a few natural disasters but you are a warlock so it shouldn¡¯t really do much too your reputation my lord, and too hatch a dragon egg you need gold and its natural element says Alfred.


    Hmm divert leylines sounds complicated, and natural disasters I don¡¯t really want too destroy my local city.


    Oh my lord the disasters would be far away and with a legendary grimoire int shouldn¡¯t be that bad, the biggest problem is the amount of souls needed my lord you might want to postpone it.


    I see the souls won¡¯t really be a problem and as long as it won¡¯t destroy my local city, a few tsunamis and earthquakes doesn¡¯t really bother me that much it¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t killed a lot of people already. But wont it cause me a shit storm Godfrey?


    It won¡¯t really be that bad kid the leylines are still very unstable from the merger so whit a bit of politics and becoming a truly powerful warlock, the whole dragon will also help a lot those things are kind of scary. also you might want to bind the leprechaun now. And get going with the imps Godfrey says.


    Oh grimoires and dragons my lord you are certainly more interesting than I thought Alfred follows up with.


    Alfred says a series of demonic words followed by I wilily bind myself too my summoner. Then Godfrey replies in demonic, and I feel the new connection and Alfred flies of. Em Godfrey what was that. Well he willingly bound himself makes him much more controllable he would have to be directly bound too you otherwise considering how high levelled a leprechaun I only really had you summon one duo too your wealth in comparison to your age unless you gain more wealth continually we will have too unbind and banish him, leprechauns are highly good at special and illusion magic. Which makes them the perfect traders, they are even found highly useful in hell among the demon lords and therefore normally very old, that¡¯s not the case for Alfred luckily since it makes him jobless, hence the willingly binding. Also there immense magic power makes them even more powerful than most battle demons that you will have to bind yourself when you get more powerful.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road.

    I get on with summoning, and soon 15 imps are bound too Godfrey.


    I Spent the next week relaxing practising magic, life magic, how too probably use Godfrey which was fucking annoying, how to use my aura tattoos to better use my other elements trough them, using lightning especially black lightning and relaxing. Also turns out soul magic is not that useful for any combat stuff I couldn¡¯t really figure out anything new to use it for. Alfred came home whit my dragon egg that we decided to place in my now enchanted freezer full of gold. Godfrey made me channel pretty much my entire reserve into the egg every night using life magic, at least it made me sleep very well. Turns out It will take a couple weeks for it too hatch even with all the life energy speeding it up.at which point I¡¯m going to have too bind it I spend some time figuring out a name and I was pretty proud of what I came up with. I feel like Alfred kind of understated what a dwarven work crew is a hundred seems like a lot but apparently, he wanted a large wall around the compound too and a moat and stuff. The whole building stuff went insanely fast, dwarfs with earth magic are pretty much insanely efficient. No surprise they can hollow out mountains. Godfrey and Alfred pretty much teamed up against me whit the whole giant wall and moat I didn¡¯t really see how a moat would be useful in the 21 century. and it It seems incredibly paranoid too me but I guess them being from a medieval world makes them a bit biased about such things. At least it will look cool which ads too the whole evil warlock look and they didn¡¯t build a giant tower like in lord of the rings so whatever. not that I think it will be useful in any way probably just a big waste of money. I didn¡¯t really see how I could afford it until I asked Alfred he said that he had converted 96% of my money too gold and that the knight stuff had sold incredibly well, apparently the various armies of the world desperately needed magical weaponry so they had a literal bidding war. I wasn¡¯t really happy about the whole 96% thingy but Alfred was pretty adamant about it, what do I know I guess he can trade it back if needed. Ibrahim came by whit the new black Mercedes that we had too enchant, also we gave him the whole personal shielding and he did get a gun not a very impressive one but still a gun. He was truly impressed by the new castle like structure, he didn¡¯t look that happy about the gigantic car park looking gate, but I explained that it was for a dragon he laughed and told me that as long as I keep the demons away from him he doesn¡¯t really care if I have a demon zoo. I didn¡¯t bother trying to convince him otherwise . We also enchanted his new house and I met his family nice friendly people not at all judging of me despite the whole evil warlock look Afghanistan must really suck.


    Godfrey also made me enchant this giant crystal metal ball thing that Alfred bought, with a giant ritual, runes and soul magic using my last soul from the bible people turns out it became like the magical version of an ai, kind of cool. They placed it on top of the house in a big metal box saying it¡¯s going to power the runic defence, and these cool looking metal gargoyle golems that I had to do annoying big rituals too enchant with runes and bind them to the ai. Turns out the crystal metal thingy was going to draw power from the major waypoint we spent like 5 days making. the ritual literally cowered the entire compound and a shitload of ingredients witch at least isn¡¯t that expensive. The imps and Alfred captured a lot of magic animals even bought some too sacrifice, they might also have kidnaped a lot of homeless people, criminals and junkie¡¯s kind of a public service really, even If it got in the news and Nathaniel having too come up with a stupid explanation blaming earthlings witch it kind of was. I also had to get naked for the ritual be cowered in blood and even more disgusting stuff. Then there was the whole chanting thingy that Alfred and the demons joined in on they even recruited some fey creatures too help after they where contractually bound too silence about It, at least we didn¡¯t have to do it for the dwarves them being done already. It also had to be done on a full moon that we had to wait 3 days for. The chanting took like 10 minutes followed by a shitload of people and animals dying seems a bit over the top evil too me but I guess it¡¯s already done I¡¯m probably not going to sleep well and I might need a shitload of alcohol too get over it. Then there was the classic smoke followed by a small earth quake and I lightning storm that hit the metal container on the roof 16 times the whole not being local thingy was a bit of an understatement but it turned out that stuff was truly local like 2 square miles local, although there was bigger disasters as long away as Denmark although only relatively small earthquakes and tsunamis though a lot of people may have died again not my proudest moment.


    I woke up with the biggest hangover of my life, so I went to the kitchen and combined some life magic with some purging thingy from Godfrey followed by him laughing at me.


    I got some breakfast, only to be interrupted by Alfred and Godfrey yelling at me that I had to come to the bomb shelter, the egg was hatching so as the teenager I am, I ran the fastest I had done in my life. The fridge was shaking so I went to open it, just too be yelled at again that we needed to do the ritual so I got going too the pentagram and started doing the ritual chant ending in simcalabim. Then I had to name him so I said alcosanero magonas delsenaroca., and the finishing on the best dragon name ever¡­¡­¡­

 part 10

    puff the magic dragon¡­¡­. Godfrey immediately started throwing a string of the most horrific swear words at me and Alfred started laughing. Godfrey even did the magical equivalent of a continual Taser at me yelling what the fuck is wrong whit you. Luckily for me the fridge exploded and a cat sized black and white scaled classical European dragon ran at me and jumped on my chest clawing me pretty badly although the tazing did stop at least. Uhh my little puff are you a cute little boy dragon, yes you are, yes you are, puff purred at me in a deep cat like voice, I could only squealing like a teenage girl although I was abruptly stopped by puff breathing his icy breath at me and drawing a shit load of energy from me, what the hell was that Godfrey I said.


    Well kid it appears that you just became the proud mother of a female dragon kid. she just fucking imprinted on you. You glorious son of a bitch he answered. Only too be followed quickly by Alfred saying wait what a dragon cant imprint on a human only a dragon. well he¡¯s part phoenix which would do it Alfred Godfrey stated. Part phoenix? You get more and more interesting every day my lord.


    Ok a mother to an apparently, girl dragon I guess I can deal with that don¡¯t we need to feed him or what?


    Of course, we do lord Nathan I will get right on that he says while he starts nearly filling half the cave whit gold and activating the runes on the cave making it quickly drop too freezing temperatures and snow and ice quickly appearing on the floor. Godfrey saved me from the cold by activating my wards. Puff quickly squalled again and started diving around in the gold.


    Ok exactly how cold is it in here? And what¡¯s up with all that gold how the hell did you get that? I say.


    Well it¡¯s close to the temperatures of Antarctica so I don¡¯t recommend going down here whiteout Godfrey. And all the gold, well after the various military¡¯s paying all that money for the knights stuff me and Godfrey might have made a lot of enchanted weapons to sell to them. They even came buy with a few truckloads of guns for us too enchant. But we are outcompeted now after the rest of the community figured it out, we just had a starting advantage the prices have fallen a lot now. Alfred says although I still recommend getting a lot more gold, dragons are pretty addicted to the stuff they tend to kill of all the dwarfs in a settlement too build their lair in.


    Well that¡¯s pretty awesome I say being rich and all, the hobbit reference is awesome too.


    It¡¯s not a hobbit reference he¡¯s being completely literal in fact he¡¯s kind of downsizing it, a dragons power and size are directly affected by how much time they spend in their natural elemental environment and how big their treasure is. Firedragons are actually among the weaker ones it¡¯s kind of hard to find an environment with extreme heat and room for treasure although the ones that do are pretty fucking scary. You might want to bathe puff in fire from time to time still don¡¯t like that name you fucking idiot by the way, it will make her like you more despite being a frost dragon since the whole her knowing you are a phoenix and as such recognizing you as her adoptive parent.


    Sure thing, get shitloads of money and bathe her in fire. Which I do only for her too squeal and jump on me conveniently my wards save me this time. Then she breathes frost at me squeals a bit more then digs herself under the gold.


    Em guys what is she doing?


    She¡¯s hibernating dragons do that. How don¡¯t you know that, do you really think there would be any life in any realm whit dragons in them if they didn¡¯t, so you only need to visit and throw fire at her every few days says Godfrey.


    Well that¡¯s disappointing I thought I would get too take her on walks and pet her I say.


    Well I guess you could take her on walks while she is still relatively small although that won¡¯t last long they grow pretty fast in the beginning becoming the size of a car in her case with the environment she¡¯s living in, then the growth stagnates and then she will grow very slowly for the rest of her life unless you get a lot more gold. It¡¯s a defence mechanism most dragons throw out their kids when they can fly hence their low numbers, despite them being pretty much ageless like you. Although she won¡¯t find it weird that you don¡¯t since you are phoenix related most younger dragons will consider you pretty much a deity since you are a lord of an element. you will even become more pure-blooded whit age becoming about a half blood an gaining a truly impressive affinity for life and fire although that will take around 3 hundred years, nothing too get your panties In a twitch over Godfrey says. Meanwhile Alfred has left to do butler stuff.


    Ok the whole halfblooded phoenix deity is at least something to look forward too. But a car sized baby is fucking awesome. I say while I leave puff too sleep.


    I relax for a few weeks visiting puff 2 times a week and bathing her in fire too her great delight and taking her on walks and petting her. although she¡¯s kind of stopped purring now hawing become the size of a cow so now it¡¯s more of a roar still cute though at least in my eyes although probably more terrifying too most people. Especially the dwarfs and fey she recently froze and then ate turns out the dwarfs made a tunnel in when building it probably thinking I was going to store precious artefacts in there or something, I guess they were right after all my precious is down there, totally not a Gollum reference. The whole relaxation was for the whole natural disaster and people disappearing that might have been somewhat my fault I did have accomplishes.


    Okay Godfrey shouldn¡¯t we get started on the whole joining an enclave thing seems pretty important I say.


    It¡¯s kind of up to you. You only really need to do it if you want too, maybe too get some more gold from mercenary work. You are growing pretty strong your defences are pretty good at this point although you are kind of lacking yourself you need to practice a lot more to get stronger demons and better at your elemental manipulation you learning some high end physical shields are pretty up there on the important list, I can only make smaller ones.


    I guess I can see your point on personal power but I would find it pretty fucking boring, holing up in here I don¡¯t have a girlfriend much less any man¡¯s dream a harem yet. Also, I need a much bigger social circle, not that you and the demons aren¡¯t entertaining. Also, I have far from enough enemies unless I truly piss of some people they aren¡¯t going to come knocking at the door and the great defences are not going to get people too throw themselves at them too their death and souls sucking. Despite the whole dragon and my still somewhat existing morals, I¡¯m not that keen on mass slaughter off the innocent even if it would please puff. also, its going too be incredible boring if they don¡¯t fight back so I¡¯m going to have too deal whit politics I guess.


    Well you are pretty much on your own with the whole politicks think, I know nothing about that kid says Godfrey.


    Of course, you don¡¯t I say that would be way too convenient fuck my life. So, of to meet the Nathaniel guy. I get the information about the whole magic registration stuff from Alfred thank god, I have a magic butler.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Then I get dressed to get out of the house, I guess sweat pants is not going to help with getting a girlfriend. Then I call Ibrahim and get going. 20 minutes of banter with Godfrey and Ibrahim later I arrive at a court house looking building whit a heavily armed mixture of magical beings and a shitload of wards although they are all under magic guises. I get out of the car and walk up to the front door getting stopped by an elf whit an assault rifle. So, what¡¯s the purpose of your visit sir? Well I¡¯m here too register with the dark enclave mister elf, what¡¯s up whit the assault rifle I thought you used bows I say. Well sir different times calls for different measures, follow me sir.


    So I do making my way through the halls passing by all kinds of creatures and a lot of humans with varying auras. We get too an office with a gnome secretary in front. The guards informs the gnome that a Nathan smith is here too register with the dark enclave. the gnome says that I can walk in registrations for the dark enclave being highly rare. So I walk in the office se the Nathaniel guy behind a desk, all the walls a covered in books I take a glance and notice that they are all about magic, I take a seat in front of his desk and pull out cigarette light it up and start puffing on it. Nathaniel looks up at me smiles and says well hello Nathan I wasn¡¯t really expecting you, evil fortress and everything I¡¯m Nathaniel I don¡¯t believe we have met. Well I have seen you on TV, so how do we do this registration deal I say. Well mister Nathan I hoped we could have a conversation before that, taking some fancy dark rum from a drawer in his desk, totally pirate like much cool I think, he pours a drink for us making my glass fly over too me to take. Sure, Nathaniel I¡¯m not really that polite at my house so I guess we can talk I say.


    Nathaniel laughs and says I wouldn¡¯t really call your dwarven made fortress that you diverted major ley lines too, killing of thousands of people too do a house. you really know how to make my job hard Nathan.


    I have no idea about any ley line diverting mister Nathaniel, but theoretically how would you know such things?


    Not really much of a stretch since the theoretical diverting as you said, was too over the fortress of a warlock. How would you have theoretically done such a think I¡¯m pretty sure it breaks quite a few laws of magic and if you look around you might realise that I¡¯m quite learned on such things mister Nathan.


    Well Nathaniel theoretically I might possess a grimoire and the merger might have made such a thing a think easier, also theoretically it might have required an extremely complex piece of ritual magic that might have involved a lot of sacrifices.


    Nathaniel laughs well a grimoire, the whole you not denying being a warlock kind of explains you blatant lack of morals lord Nathan are you even aware how rare a grimoire especially one of that power is?


    Blatant lack of morals I wouldn¡¯t say it¡¯s that all about perspective, and no I am not aware of how rare grimoires were. I didn¡¯t really think about it when I got the second one. And lord Nathan?


    Wow you have 2 grimoires that¡¯s incredible how did you manage that you must be blessed by some dark god or something he says astonished. And too explain the rarity of a grimoire, there¡¯s probably less than 50 on this planet only about 10 or so being of yours level, half of them are holy since all of them was provided by the Althosian god of mana Enamor. And having a grimoire of that level makes you entitled to the lord title. Lord Nathen


    Well I guess I have heard the lord entitlement stuff before but thought it was only among demons. But the god thing is good to know I guess. And Theoretically speaking a group of inquisitors might have attacked me one of them carrying it and all of them ending up dead I say.


    Well that explains it perhaps not that lucky after all. an inexperienced, unaffiliated, warlock, with a greater warlock grimoire is highly likely to be attacked by the inquisition they probably underestimated you do too your experience. they would probably have brought an army too take you out, since they would love to lock up a warlock grimoire in a pit somewhere you must be highly gifted too survive such a thing he says. Do you still have the holy grimoire I would pay you quite handsomely for one despite not doing me much good, just too study one.


    Then annoyingly Godfrey decided to join the conversation enlarging himself too be large enough too not look like a weird necklace. The kids not talented he just has an awesome grimoire and no of course he dident keep the grimoire, I¡¯m awesome so why would he keep a shitty useless holy one, also dragons are much cooler.


    Again, he returns to the astonished tone you have a fucking sentient grimoire I have never heard of such a thing, it explains your quite unrealistic rise in power, I thought you made a deal whit a demon lord or something along those lines, most warlocks that survive a while go down that road. And I guess a dragon is pretty irresistible to a teenage warlock, although I believe I could have given you considerably more for it he states.


    I answer of course I don¡¯t have a dragon that¡¯s ridiculous you are very funny Godfrey. And I did get my leprechaun too sell it so I don¡¯t believe you would have provided more I answered.


    Well of course you wouldn¡¯t have a dragon that would be highly illegal whit out an enclave affiliation and would probably piss of a huge amount of people even with one. Theoretically you might want to keep it under lock and keep, for a long time unless you are interested in temporally renting it out to the enclave or the military. You are truly correct on the leprechaun matter I don¡¯t really have a chance to compete with one of those lord Nathan. He says laughing.


    Well I did mostly come for mercenary jobs or whatever being stuck in an evil castle is kind of boring I say.


    Mercenary work you say I believe I can get a man of your skillset such jobs he says, moving on we might want to move on I have a council meting shortly. Sure, think he provides me with a contract to sign I read it like any proper warlock. Wait what it¡¯s not magically binding? It probably should be but the government doesn¡¯t require it and we are certainly not going to inform them he says.


    I laugh signing it well that clears up a lot of my concerns about this whole thing might have even dropped it if I didn¡¯t like the contract I reply.


    That¡¯s one of the other things that makes the non-magical contracts practical I would have a truly hard time recruiting anyone for the dark enclave our kind are pretty cellos about contracts, probably a professional hazard, He says while pouring another drink for us. Now you are officially a part of the oxford enclave, sadly one of the only 3 people that any of us would find interesting and the only warlock among those, although there¡¯s also a lot of lesser warlock, dark wizards like myself, a few dark witch covens, some necromancer¡¯s like the third member of the evil trio Azazael, and the assorted scrapple. All of which you would probably find too be pests.


    What¡¯s even the difference between a dark wizard a warlock and a necromancer I¡¯m not really that sure about grave diggers I say.


    Would you listen when I talk to you wizards use arcane and reality magic and mostly only spell craft. The dark wizard represents a lack of morals and use of summoning and darker type spells. Warlocks use a mixture of various arts mostly summoning although there, true defining feature is an affinity for corruption kid, also necromancers are awesome and they don¡¯t dig up corpses, they dig up themselves if they have any idea what they are doing. Demons the undead not really that different, not that warlocks and necromancers don¡¯t regularly go to war, mostly for infringing on hunting grounds Godfrey says.


    You should listen to your teacher young padawan Nathaniel states


    Godfrey grumbles would people stop comparing me too a gobbling with a glow stick.


    Nathaniel and me just laugh it off.


    So, lord Nathan could you do me a favour and go to the council meeting with me, Azazael isn¡¯t exactly social, spending most of his time in the crypts full of skeletons under the city. Showing of a lord warlock could do true wonders for my political powers.


    Well as long as I¡¯m allowed to smoke, drink and you don¡¯t divulge theoretical knowledge on me committing genocide and having a dragon called puff and stuff. Also, I require at least one sexy magical teenage looking girl too try to go on a date with. I say


    Nathaniel laughs and says puff? I wouldn¡¯t mention such things anyways not your mass slaughters are not really good for my political image. And there is a quite stunning teenage looking magical woman there, I will even try to be your wingman.


    Don¡¯t badmouth my dragon its awesome even if people disagree with my naming sense I find any such talk highly offensive Nathaniel. but sure, pretty lady ready to go.


    I will be careful too not offend your very awesome dragon again lord Nathan in a highly serious tone. Only too immediately say let¡¯s go robin.


    I¡¯m not your bloody sidekick Nathaniel.


    If you say so lord Nathan just keep believing.


    He says as we walk out the door.
