《Arthur "The successor of the god of time"》 [Volume One] Chapter 1 ~Chapter 1~ Beads of sweat is pouring down my face, dirt and grim is sticking on me as I hack at the walls with my pick axe, the sound of hundreds of others like me is hacking through the mine. Scars is clearly visible on our skins, some are ill and some are missing a body part or two.. If anyone could see us they would think that we are like the undead skeletons, nothing but bones out shape our bodies. Oh right I never introduce myself yet, I am Arthur, a 22 years old man. You might want to now about my last name... well I forgot it. I was born in a small city, I had a loving family, a mother and a father as well as two little siblings. To be honest it was the only thing I ever wished for. However this once blissful life came to an abrupt stop, a week before my fifth birthday, a cult of a religious group savage the city sacrificing mostly all the men and women to their god while children was sold into slavery, unfortunately some of the children was killed as well. Clearly I wasn''t one of the unlucky children...no I don''t think I should call them unlucky but innocent children who avoided something worst then death. My two little siblings was part of the many children who died, my father and mother was both killed while trying to protect them. While I watch my family die I was sack like a sack of potatoes and was sold off at an auction for three gold coins. Eighteen years pass and I have been sold a total of four times already, one of my master was a pedophile who always torture children. That part of my life I would constantly wish that I had died with my family, of course since I was a kid I didn''t have the guts to kill myself. "Hey slave! Why do you stop working!? Maybe this will teach you!" a voice sounded behind me interrupted my thoughts causing me to slightly jump, suddenly a piercing sound flew through air. "Ahh!" I cried out. A burning sensation pulse through my back as my knees buckle and kneel on both knees to ground. Pain spread throughout my body, reaching my hand towards my back a quick sharp pain increase the burning sensation throughout my body. Taking a glance at my palm I can feel and see warm fresh red blood slowly flowing down my palm onto my arms. Gritting my teeth I endure the pain and look up to only see a 6''10 well built muscular black-haired man wearing beautiful carved metal armor. "I-I am s-sorry" I barely squeezed these words through my teeth. A mocking smile appeared on his face "He he....I will forgive you, know kowtow to me a hundred times and call me god!" "God my ass.." I grumbled under my breath and stood up from the ground. I have been through enough of this life, my life is nothing but an ongoing tragedy. I have been tortured, whip to the brink of death and now I going to have to kowtow and call a mere mortal a god, Fuck this!! I will never loose my dignity! I stare the man in the face and gather the little saliva I had in my mouth and spit on his leather boots. The man proud expression turn extremely ugly and struck me with his fist towards my abdomen causing me to fall on my knees and hug my stomach as I gasp for air. "Damn you slave! You dare spat on my boots! Unworthy piece of shit! I will behead you!" the man unsheathed his sword from his waist and raise it in a high arc. With a quick slash my head was cut clean off. Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. Time seem as it slowed down. Images of my life flash flash through my mind... Blackness slowly over takes me as I slowly acknowledged my death. .... Opening my eyes I find myself standing in an endless black plane, it was quiet so quiet that it actually kind of scares me. Don''t get me wrong or anything I am not afraid of the dark... "Boooo!" "Ahhhh! Don''t kill me!" laying on the ground I hugged my knees as my body shivers. "Hahaha! Have you piss your pants boy!?" a deep masculine voice resounded through the space.. Turning around I can see a middle age man wearing long white robes laughing, laughing so hard that tears was forming in the corner of his eyes. "Who are you!?" I said with a bit agitation in my voice. "You can just call me Chronos, the god of time or father..father time, yea that''s have nice ring too it," he smiled. Almost immediately I prostrate myself to him, "I-I am s-so sorry for my rudeness!" "OK, OK get up...you making me blush," he wave his hand and an strong force pull me up from the floor. "*cough* father...why am I here? Am I dead?" I ask. "*nod* *nod* yes you are dead...but I have a gift for you.." a smile creep up his face "What is it father?" somehow I feel that this gift will be very good. Snapping his finger something like a emerald green lollipop materialized in his hands " Tada! Here is your gift." I stared awestruck at him "T-thank you?" I said and reluctantly took the lollipop. "You don''t think this lollipop is something special huh? Don''t worry it''s a gift from the god of time, me! So of course it wouldn''t be normal, now eat it," Staring at my "father" for a quick second I turn my attention to the lollipop. I never had any sweets since I was a little child, I bring my face towards the lollipop and put it in my mouth *not in an erotic way*. A sweet taste flowed through my mouth. It was the best thing I ever tasted, quickly I begin licking it more then licking turn into biting.....then it was gone. All that is left is a wooden stick. My face sunk into depression and I turn my attention to "father" with an expression showing that I want more of the delicious sweet. "Hahaha that is a one of a kind lollipop so I can''t make it again and besides even if I do you will probably die because your soul would not be able to handle it." I frown and ask"What do you mean my soul wouldn''t be able to handle it?" A huge smile creep up his face "Wait for it....." Wait why is he smiling, oh no I have a bad feeling about this....Urghhhh! what''s going on with my body. It feel as if billions..no trillions of needles pricking at my very core. Falling onto my knees I howl the most agonizing howl I can mutter. "Surprise! You have ascended to become a god! My successor! Arthur the god of time...haha that''s has a nice ring to it!" [Volume One] Chapter 2 ~Chapter 2~ At the moment I am Laying on the ground with boiling red skin as I continuously twitch and the sound of shattering bones can be heard while I am unable to utter a sound because of the agonizing pain. What was in that lollipop?. Sigh when people say the most delicious/ prettiest things is the dangerous, they was not kidding! My body feel as if I was skinny dipping in a pool with boiling water in it and my bones seem as if it was repairing itself every time it shatter which only brought more agonizing pain. *Cough* *Cough* I cough up a mouthful of blood. Why won''t I pass out already!? After unknown amount time pass of the torturing pain it subsided down making me heave a long sigh relief. Slowly getting off the ground I wipe the blood and tears from the corner of my lips and eyes. I stretch my aching body as crackling sounds of bones can be heard. "Damn...at least he could have told me! If I wasn''t used to being whip and tortured I am pretty sure my mentality would have shattered!" I said while bending forward and backwards stretching out my muscles. Looking at my body I notice that my previous rough skin is replace with silky smooth skin and the old scars vanish. Now instead of looking like an undead zombie, my body is ripped with a lean built based on speed. "Hahaha sorry my son, I didn''t know if you are going to accept it or not..well it doesn''t matter know!" a familiar voice sounded behind me. I turn and glared at the excited old man. "What did you do to me?" I ask with a sullen face. Continuing smiling, not reading the mood, he puts his arm around my shoulders "Do you dislike what I did to you?" he ask. I think for a minute and slowly shook my head "No, I like what you did to me.....but there is a price, right?" I can obviously see and feel the difference in my body from my previous body. It seem that as if I have the power to move the world! I might be exaggerating but I can tell that I''m a powerful being. "Well of course, like I said you''re going to be my successor!" he said and nods his head twice. My facial expression turn perplex "Huh? Why me? I am just ordinary slave!" This cause him to stop at a brief pause and furrow his eyebrows as if he was thinking really hard "Well....I can say that you''re just like me, at the beginning of my lifetime I was a slave as well. If it weren''t for the discovery of my ability to control time and the first generation god of time. I probably wouldn''t have live for the next couple years or so. But now look at me! I am the second generation god of time who have live for trillions of years! And now I am going to give you chance to become the third generation god of time." At least what he said make some kind of sense but why do he need a successor? If he is a god then he should be able to live an unlimited of years, I furrow my eyebrows and turn my head towards him "This have been on my mind for a while, why do you need a successor?" I ask. He once again smile "I have been waiting for that question!" He took his arm off my shoulders "watch this.." he snaps his finger and suddenly the space surrounding us started to distort and out of nowhere appearing before us is a huge lit up white marble mansion in the endless black plane. The old man without paying attention to my shock reaction, entered the mansion as I follow suit. Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. Me and The old man enter the mansion where I find a grand statue of a male figure. Somehow as I look at the figure, it cause a feeling to swell in me constantly telling me to kneel and give up everything for this figure. "Hahaha from your expression you can feel how domineering the aura is, go ahead and kneel, this is the being who created us all, the Almighty creator, Milithiru." father said as he kneel with one knee on the ground. My breath halts for a quick second. I suck in a deep breath and immediately kneel on the ground praying. This is the Almighty being who created us all, he is basically the father of everyone! Everything in this world is originated from him, now I, a new god can personally see him..well not see him in the flesh but you know what I mean. Getting off from his knees "Come on!" he wave his hand beckoning me to follow him. After walking up the stairs and a couple turns left and right we arrive in front of a huge golden door. he turns and look at me "Go ahead, push it." Hesitating for a second, I sighed and put both my hands on the door. Suddenly a luminous light flash blinding me of my eyesight. After the flash I can hear the door rumble as it slowly opens. Clearing my eyesight, I peer into the room and find nothing. No sound nor any air movement. I frown and look towards him "What is this?" A smirk was evident on his face " Just wait, the best part has yet to come." I don''t know why but I instinctively move a step or two away from his reach. Suddenly an electric charge bolted through my body. "Ahhhh!" I scream the highest pitch scream I har ever made. At that moment the ground below us begin to rumble and then suddenly pure white spiral staircase rise up from the floor into the hole in the ceiling that I didn''t even know was there. I can hear faint snickers coming from behind me. Damn! He knew this was going to happen! Ignoring my angry expression he grab a hold of my shoulders and drag me up the stairs while I am constantly groan in pain. Idiot old man! I will get my revenge! ..... At the top of the stairs we can see a long lit up hallway, still dragging me by my shoulders he started to walk through it. In the hallway we pass, there were many magnificent paintings that have a divine feeling to it. One of the painting that caught my eye was the painting that have golden gates floating in the sky on top of a white cloud with the words imprinted into it saying "By The Heavens Will." Anyways after passing through the hallway we come across another huge golden door. I immediately fight my way out of his embrace which wasn''t hard because he didn''t try fight it. "Hahaha...son, what are you doing?" the old man turn his head towards me and smirk. I felt shivers run down my spine. This man is scary! Being extra careful this time, I took at least distance of two meters behind him. Beads of sweat was pouring down my face as I said "Hahaha nothing father...go ahead and open the door." "Relax I am not going to bite. But don''t you want to know why you''re here?" I try to smile "Are you going to tell me?" I ask. "Since you asked I will tell you, we''re going to attend a special meeting" he smiled and then push the golden door open.. [Volume One] Chapter 3 Today''s Chapter:) ~Chapter 3~ The old man and I enter the room where I find six figures sitting down. I abruptly stop and curiously look towards them, four of the figures are women and the other two are men. The room is big and can fit over thirty people. At the middle is a long brown table with eight black chairs surrounding it in which six out of eight of them are occupied. I suddenly feel someone tapping me on my shoulder interrupting my thoughts. I turn my head and see the old man face full of smiles "You might want to know who they are, don''t you?" Well of course, to many strange things constantly happening...sigh about time this is over I will be a vegetable. (Note: Human vegetable) I immediately nod "Yes very much" Suddenly I can see a glint of light pass through his eyes as he said " They are just like me and you. The man with short white hair and purple eyes is Gideon, the god of darkness, and the young man next to him with short black hair and red eyes is a demon and his successor." he pointed towards the man, obvious that he was being extremely rude. He continue "The woman with the long blond hair, emerald green eyes, and pointy ears is the goddess of nature, Thela. And the young lady sitting next to her with the same features she has is also an elf and her successor. As for the other woman with ruby red hair and golden eyes is the goddess of love, Marina. And the young lady next to her with long black hair and abyss black eyes is her successor." I knitted my eyebrows together as I take in all the information , to be truthful all the women in the room is extremely beautiful especially the goddess of love.....wait,wait I shouldn''t be thinking of anything perverted. "Come on let''s say hello" the old man said. The old man and I walk over to the long brown table catching the attention of the six successors and gods/goddesses. Sitting down, I sat across from the successor of the god of darkness. His face turn ugly "Humph! Despicable human dare to sit in front of me!" clearly arrogance was in his voice. I ignored him and silently observe my surrounding. I can feel two burning gazes piercing through me with curiously and disdain. I already knew who the people who gazing at me which was the the successor of goddess of nature and love. I turn my head towards them, suddenly I can see the successor of the goddess of love face flush red while the elven stared at me with extremely cold eyes....sigh she must really hate humans..no wait she doesn''t hate humans but males in generally. If she really hated humans then why is she sitting so comfortably next to her. Seconds pass turning into minutes then hours. Silence no one spoke a word, nothing. I turn my head towards the old man and ask "Why are we here? Is this suppose to be the "special" meeting you where talking about?" He turn to me "Be patient, all those who are patient great things or luck comes to them" he suddenly said trying to lecture me with his deep profound words. At this moment a pillar of light shine down at the end of the table and appearing is a long white bearded man sitting down in a huge golden chair.. no I shouldn''t call it a chair but a golden throne with diamonds imprinted in to it. I can see the gods and goddesses bow down their heads and so I followed their example as long with the rest of the successors. "Rise, my children" a calm soothing voice resounded through out the room, lifting my head I see the man who look similar to the marble statue from the entrance of the mission. My eyes sparkled with stars. It''s him! It''s really him! The god of creation, Milithiru! A smile appeared on Milithiru face "Haha! Sorry my children for making you wait long...mmm.. it seem that you already gathered your successors. Well very good, first off introduce their names and origins...even though I already know it" The first one to stand up is Gideon, he slightly bow then he pointed towards the young lad " This is Dustin, he is a demon from the planet Starcus. He is 122 years old." After introducing his successor he sat down. Next one to stand up is Thela following the same procedure as Gideon "This is Sylvia, she is a elf from the planet Naziria. She is 121 years old." Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. Next is Marina following the same procedure " This is Selena, she is a human from the planet Earth. She is 21 years old." Finally it the old man turn to introduce me "Umm.. this is A-Arthur, he is a human from the planet R-Rulivia. He is 22 years old" My mouth gape open watching him stutter. Smooth sailing old man! Sighhh.. I shake my head in embarrassment. A distain snicker can be heard coming from Dustin mouth. Milithiru throughout the whole process showed only a slight smile. Opening his mouth, he said " Very good! So you guys should know the reason you are here, right?" saying this his gazes fall on the three of us, a faint gulp sound can be heard as I swallow my saliva. He continued "If not then I should tell you, the reason you are here is for a competition, a competition in which will decide on which one of you will inherit my powers and become the third generation God of creation or goddess of creation, who knows. Well for this competition I will send each of you to the same planet or world but in different location and will watch over each of you until I see that its enough, understand?" Everyone of us furrow our brows except Dustin who eyes was glistening, we all slightly nod our heads. A smile appeared on Milithiru face " Well OK then until I choose a world where I see fit , you can stay here and drink some wine and feel free to look around" flipping his hand bottles of wine and wine glasses appeared on the table and then he vanished. I get up from my seat to search around the mansion but suddenly a hand grasp my arm and pull me into my seat, turning my head I see the old man staring at me with a huge smile. Shivers ran down my spine. Damn! Just don''t smile! "Where are you going?" he ask. I try to smile "I''m going to look around the mansion...is that alright." He nod "Yes that is alright but first we all going to drink this wine our lord gave us." "Sorry, I don''t drink" I replied. "It doesn''t matter, it will be rude to our lord" he said. Damn! So persistent! ... Crash! At the moment I am walking in the long hall way and just knock over a glass vase. Urrrg- I cover my mouth preventing myself to vomit. Damn! The old man made me drink ten rounds of wine. It was actually a great taste but Urrgg- I stop my self again. Walking no I should say wobbling down the hallway, I turn the opposite direction from which we came. This hallway is similar to all the others. After a minute or so I come across a normal size door. I open the door and enter it where I find what seem to be a mini library. Glancing around I see a small little couch. Sighh just what I need, I wobble over to the couch and slouch down into it as I slowly close my eyes. Kacha! The door suddenly open making me open my eyes. My vision was slightly fuzzy, walking in is a girl with long blond-haired and emerald girl eyes who look very familiar. "Gena?" I murmured. My heart begin to pound violently as if I was having a heart attack. Gena was a beautiful servant for one of my old master. At that time my master was a young pure lady which I was willing to work for. The the first day I work there I met a seventeen year old girl who I had eventually fall in loved with. We both loved each other very much and I was a very happy young man until one day the king of the empire demanded that she was to be his concubine. In that instant my love life shattered into pieces, that very next day I personally saw her committing suicide after saying three words to me. "I love you" she said, those words still linger in my heart after she said this she stabbed herself in the heart leaving me with only despair. I stand up from the couch and wobble over to Gena and softly kiss her on the lips. I can feel her pushing me back but slowly stop resting after in which she start to kiss me back , suddenly my mind goes totally blank. [Volume One] Chapter 4 This chapter was kind of hard to write, so it might have tons of errors. Well here is Today''s Chapter :) ________________________________________ ~Chapter 4~ Knock! Knock! "Arthur! Are you in here?" I can hear the familiar old man voice from behind the door. I open my eyes and sit up then yawn. I don''t why but my body feel very refresh and my mind seem very clear, could this be the because of the wine I drink last night? If so then maybe I should drink wine when I''m feeling stress. And the dream I had last night was amazing, sigh...only if Gena was alive! While I was in my thoughts the door suddenly opened. Kacha! "Arthur? Are you her-" the old man and my eyes met each other. I can see that he was at loss for words as if he saw something very shocking which I didn''t know why, all I am doing is laying on the floor with a white blanket over me. Wait.... wasn''t I on the couch when I went to sleep? I must have rolled off the couch or something, yea that is the only explanation. The old man face turn sullen "O- oh my! I-I will wait until you two get dressed," he smiled a twitching smile and quickly close the door without waiting for my reply. Two? What do he mean two? At this moment I can hear a soft moan coming from beneath the blanket. I pause for a second and look down to only see the outline in the blanket of the curves of a beautiful woman. My heart begins to pound like drums. Who is this person? Don''t tell my dream was actually real..could this really be Gena? Questions rush through my head, unable to control my emotions anymore I throw the blanket off of us. The thing I saw cause me to turn deathly pale. Oh my god! Why her!? What I see is Sylvia in the nude sleeping peacefully. Staring at her body I became mesmerize to it. She has smooth white glamorous skin, perky white breast and an hour glass like body. The goddess of nature was right in choosing her as her successor. My eyes slowly wonder over her body trying to imprint this image in my head. As my eyes travel down her waist to her legs I suddenly see red dried liquid in between her legs. "..." I have to go quickly or she will kill me! I quickly stand up and gather my clothes which was all over the place. After quietly putting them on I tip toed towards the door. Reaching the door I twist the knob slowly trying not to make any sounds but the heavens wasn''t in my favor. A long squeak sounded through the room. "Huh? where am I?" Noooooo! I''m going to die! Sylvia sit up from the floor, her eyes wander around room until it finally lock on to my location. A cold glint of light pass through her eyes, she suddenly look down to only see herself in the nude, her face turn scarlet red as she quickly grab the nearby blanket and covered herself. "You bastard! You dare take advantage of me last night when I was intoxicated!" Her expression was extremely cold, it feel as if I was dip ice cold water. I immediately prostrate on the floor " I-I am s-so sorry!" it felt that if I look in her eyes a second longer I will petrified. "Shut up! I don''t want your apologizes! Sniff..you bastard took my chastity..sniff that''s why I hate all men especially male humans!" Tears was evident in the corner eyes. The feeling of guilt started to bloom in my heart, I walk up to her and was about to console her but she swat my hands away as she gnashed her teeth in anger "I can''t believe I have despicable person as you as my husband!" Husband? what are she talking about? Shit! Is she indicating that I should take responsibility and marry her!? I frown "Husband!? What do you mean husband!?" "Shut up! It''s not like I want you to be my husband. My elven race has a tradition. When a female or male elf mate they will automatically will be husband and wife." The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation."Why don''t you just break that stupid tradition?" I ask sweating bullets. She frown " If that was the case I would have already killed you in the most torturing way a long time ago!...But that is not the case, after our race females mate with their partner there will be a mark imprinted on the both of them. Once the female have the mark they will not be able to have sex with another male but him. Also if either of couple is either injured or killed it will transfer it to the their mate. So you can say their lives is connected to each other." Hearing her explanation I felt a headache was coming in "What mark are you talking about?" I ask. She took her left arm from underneath the blanket, on her upper arm show a mark of an old tree." The same mark should be on you arm as well" she said Knock! Knock! "Arthur are you guys ready? The lord gave us a signal saying that he made his decision" the old man said, interrupting our conversation. As I was about to say something, Sylvia open her mouth "Yes we are ready" after saying this she shot a glare towards me telling me to get out. I sigh and walk towards the door. I took one last glance towards Sylvia and left. .... The old man and I are now in the room each as long with the others. A pillar of light shine down indicating that Milithiru has arrive. As he appears we all slightly bow our heads. A smile creep up his face "Rise children" We all rise our heads. He spoke "Today is the day of your departure, I will send you three to the planet name Varculos. Unlike your world,Arthur. They uses Mana instead of Qi. OK I will not give you a lot of details on this planet so good luck! When you three are ready step over there to teleportation array I and enforce your mana into it, then you will be transported randomly to a different location." after saying this he vanished. After Milithiru vanish the old man walk up to me and put his arm around my shoulders "Today is the day you leave huh? Well Good luck my son and here" he grab something from within his robes and took out a bottle of wine "take this you will need it." Looking at the bottle of wine I smile wryly and grab it. It should be useful to release my stress. Mmmm....Where should I put? I furrow my eyebrows. Seeing my expression he already guess what I was thinking "I never did tell you how to control your power huh? Well I don''t have enough time for that. So I will just transfer it to you," saying this a luminous light glowed on his right index finger and then he touch my forehead. Information pass through my mind as I grasp the knowledge on how to control time. With a flip of my hand the bottle disappeared. After talking for a couple of minutes I left to go towards the teleportation array. While I was going towards the array I see Gideon, the god of darkness gesturing at me telling me to come here. At first I hesitated but it seem that he mean no harms, I sighed and went towards him. Sylvia and the other successors already left so I was alone. Arriving at his location he smile and put his hand on my shoulders " I wish you good luck and I hope that you will get along with Dustin, he really is a great kid but he is just used to being spoiled." "I understand" I replied showing no emotion He smile once again "As long as you understand. Well that''s all I wanted to say. Good luck" he said. After saying this he wave me good bye. I arrive at the array and step into it then I enforce my mana into it and instantly a luminous light engulf me. [Volume One] Chapter 5 Today''s Chapter :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Chapter 5~ Boom! The ground underneath me gave out creating a 50 ft deep crater. I look around silently observing my surroundings. At the moment I am in what it seem to be a forest that have trees at least one hundred feet tall. I spread my magic sense trying to find if there are magic beasts around but what I find are low rank beasts. Bending my knees I jump up from the crater which seem to be a good idea at first but went terribly wrong. Once I jump up from the crater the ground violently shook making dozens of trees tumble over causing more miniature craters. Sighh it''s seem like I have to get use to this body. Patting the dust off me I look up into the sky, I can see two suns slowly rising up from the horizon..."mmm this planet have two sun is that a good thing? The planet I was born had three...whatever not my problem." I said shrugging my shoulders. Boom! Suddenly a sky shaking explosion rang out into the sky causing the ground to tremble. Clamor rose as the birds flew from the trees. "Fuck! what was that!" I said slightly jumping from the sudden explosion. "Haha! I finally found you!" th-this voice isn''t it. I quickly turn around and I see Dustin floating in the sky smiling a bone chilling smile. Damn what is he doing here!? I should have known he would do something. I quickly get into a battle stance as I stare at him with caution. "What you doing here?" I ask leaking out a little bit of killing intent. "Hahahaha! What else I am here for, isn''t it oblivious! I want to kill you!" He said, an overwhelming killing intent came out of him, it was so overwhelming that it materialize into a red aura surrounding him. I can feel my legs tremble slightly, shit what an oppressive aura. "Die!" Dustin voice sounded throughout the sky. Suddenly as if an apocalypse was arriving the sky turn red. Black mist gather around him changing into the shape of swords, daggers, bows and all other weapons I could identify as it rapidly descend down upon me. Cold sweat ran down my back, lifting both my heads I freeze time. A sword stop inches away from severing my neck , if I was even a tenth of a second late my head would be rolling on the floor *Cough* "*Cough* I cough up a mouthful of blood. I jump away from my original position. Right now it feel as if millions of insects is tormenting my soul. I start time again coughing up another mouthful of blood. Bang! A 100 diameter crater was form at the spot I was originally was. I try to stand but my body would not obey my order no matter how much I scream in my heart. What''s wrong my body? "Hahaha! How do you like the curse my master gave you. Its pretty nice isn''t it. You see every time you use mana the curse will slowly eat away your soul, causing you extreme pain." Dustin said as he slowly walk to my position. Huh? When did Gideon put a curse on me? Don''t tell me it was the time we spoke before I teleported away. But how!? I never detect it. Bubbling rage rose from within me "Coward! You dare use an under handed move! You and your master are cowards" I shouted. "It doesn''t matter! As long as you die I will become the next god of creation!" he sneered, with a wave of his hand a sword is sent flying towards me. Damn! Come on move! You stupid piece of shit of a body! Pichi! My eyes open wide in shock, looking down I can see the pitch black sword imprinted into my chest. *Cough* *Cough* a river of blood pour from my mouth. I knew that my heart was completely destroyed. Darkness slowly take over my vision until it complete darkness. I collapse while hearing the insulting laugh of Dustin. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it....... Clank! Clank! Opening my eyes I find myself in an endless dark space. Did I die? No..this place is different, reincarnation? Clank! Clank! The sound of metal clashing with metal interrupt my thoughts. Turning to source of the sound, I see a pitch black human figure with no eyes grinning showing all of its pure white teeth looking straight at me as it was pin against the ground by chains. But it seems as if the chains is on verge on breaking as I can clearly see newly formed cracks. "Gege...Arthur.... Arthur... Gege" the thing call my name laughing a psychotic laugh. I don''t know why but I can feel a very strong attractive force pulling me in. I mean it''s as if my heart screaming at me telling me to break it free. I take a step, the ground below me moves as if a drop of water drip onto a body of still water. Another step then another, each step quicker then previous one before I even knew it I am standing in front of the figure. Bending down I touch the chains.*Crack* more cracks form on the chains, my mind started rapidly race. Grabbing the chains I pull slightly, small cracks became longer. With every crack an oppressive aura burst through. With a strong pull the chain finally gave out. Bang! The chain is smash into smithereens. The figure stops laughing, it look up towards me. It smile grew even wider, it then stands and faces me. It leans to me and whisper into my ear "I am you and you''re me. Now we are finally going to become one.." it said. Suddenly my vision became blurred ..... [Dustin P.O.V] "Hahaha! That bastard is finally dead! Now it''s time to find the other two and kill them but not before I have little fun with their bodies" Saying this I gather mana under my feet and was getting ready to fly off but I find something moving in the corner of my eye move. Turning around I can see the body of the insect twitching violently. "Hahaha! So you are still alive!...Huh?" his body begin to shake more and more violently. Suddenly he sat up and a sinister smirk appeared on his face. Huh? his hair! his eyes! Is this really is the same person? The insect short black hair grew to lower back length and his eyes change from abyss black to golden yellow. "Gege...Are you ready to die" He said tilting his head smiling a bone chilling smile. I take a couple of steps back, his change is too much. Just from his aura alone give me the cold feet. Not wasting time I try to fly off but before I even had the chance to do it, he appeared in front of me. "Gege...Where are you going?" without waiting for my reply his hand pierce my chest. Damn! This isn''t wasn''t suppose to happen! How could he suddenly become so strong! I can feel the life force being suck out of me. I swear I will get revenge in my Next life! "Gege...You won''t have a chance for revenge. I will devour your soul and take all your powers, Gege!" he said. How can he read my thoughts! No wait how can he defeat me so easily!? I am the successor of the god of darkness. I am the demon prince from the Zander Empire even my father couldn''t even be the bug underneath my shoe. "Master revenge my death!" I shouted as tears flow down my face on my last breath before I lost all my senses. [End of P.O.V] [Volume One] Chapter 6 Today''s Chapter :D _________________________________________________ ~Chapter 6~ [Sylvia P.O.V] (Sounds of birds chirping) At the moment I''m in the forest heading in a some random direction. When I''ve first arrive to this planet it was already night time but now I can see two suns rising above the horizon. To be honest the sunrise is really beautiful. Why does this planet have two suns anyways? Ahhh.....the wanders of the world always leave me so excited. A smile creeps up my face, this would have been a better experience if I''ve never meet that boy, Arthur. Sighh well I can''t change back time now. "Hey, are you sure the silver-back panther is around here?" a voice sounded not far away from me. I slightly pause, this forest must be near by a town or city..Should I let them see me? Well Milithiru never said I can''t meet mortals, just in case I''ll try to avoid them. Turning the opposite direction from the voice I start to walk away trying to not make any sound but.. Clack! Damn! The heaven is really against me. The sound of breaking twigs sounded throughout the forest catching the attention of the adventures. Quickly they run towards my direction without even being cautious. If I was high rank magical beast most likely they would''ve been killed because of their carelessness. Appearing in my view is three men, two in which who look to be no more than twenty years old and a middle age man who look to be about in his mid 40''s wearing low rank silver-colored armor that are severely damage. Their eyes lock onto my location and almost immediately a smile plastered on their faces. "Look what we have here boys" one of the men said with obvious lust in his voice. Sighh..Do all men just think of naughty things!? This why I hate men! In my old planet all men just use women for their own desires. Sighh it''s seem like men don''t change even from a different planet. "Hey pretty little lady come play with us. I promise you it will be the best time of your life" the middle age men said. I can feel a vain bulge in my temple. I look towards the perverted trio and leak out an extremely amount of killing intent. This cause the three men to quickly take a couple of steps back. A sinister smile creep up my face. I wonder how do I look in front of them, hehe. I really want to kill them but master say to never hurt a living entity unless it''s absolutely necessary, that''s a Goddess of Nature for you. The Leader of the trio face turn ugly and gather whatever courage he has as he step forward "So you want to play the hard way. Don''t worry I will be extra rough," a slight lustful smile was evident on his face. Hearing their leader the two idiots is filled with courage once more. Idiot trio! That''s their new names for here on out. "Idiot trio, leave or you going to regret that you ever met me!" Anger was clearly imprinted into my voice. I gather mana into the ground and instantly vines with thorns and blue roses sprouted and surrounds me. Urggghh....*Cough* *Cough* I cough a mouthful of blood. The feeling of a millions of needles pricking my very core spread throughout my body causing me to kneel on the ground. The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. "Haha like at this. It seem like she injured, hehe this should be even more fun!" ""Big brother is a sadist"" Looking up I can see the three me slowly walking towards me with lust in their eyes. With every step they take feel as if a boulder was pressed against my chest as it grow heavier and heavier. Damn pieces of shit! I swear I will kill you all in the most torturous way. Damn why is my body won''t move, don''t tell me I will be defiled by these men without even getting chance to fight back. Damn! Sniff..Sniff! I swear I will kill all of you! "Haha! Look brothers she crying.Who was the one just talking that we was going to regret ever meeting you but it seem the other way around.This going to be fun. Jerald, Herald get her and bring her to me, hehe I will make sure she have the best time of her life" ""Yes!"" Roooooaaaaaarrrrrrrr!!! In the moment of my despair an ear piercing roar vibrated throughout the forest causing the ground to tremble and trees to tumble. The expression on the three men face turn fearful as if they knew what the roar was. Suddenly a killing intent is directed towards us. I can see the men legs tremble in fear knowing that they might die today. Boom! The ground in front of us cave in as dust flow up into the air. Rooooaaar!! The beast let out another ear piercing roar, suddenly the dust instantly blow away revealing a six fit crimson red tiger with black stripes and large abyss black wings making it even more fierce. By this time the men already piss on themselves. On the other hand I grew excited as wait to watch the tiger consumed his prey. A smile was evident on my face, at least before I die I can watch these scums bags die a horrific deat....wait isn''t my fate the same as theirs. Well who cares i can always just reincarnate. "Run! Let''s go! Forgot that bitch, we can always get some other females but if we die here we won''t have that chance" the older brother said as he quickly runs, the other two brothers quickly nodded their heads as they follow suit.. Boom! Before older brother even have chance to get 10 meters away, the tiger instantly appeared in front of him and with swipe with its paw the man was bisected into two. Watching this scene the other two brothers stop in their tracks and sank down on their knees giving up ridiculous idea of running away. Not wasting time the tiger appear before them and with another swipe of its paw the brothers died with wide eyes. *Cough* *cough* I cough up a river of blood.The feeling of being stab in the heart spread throughout my body as my vision goes blurry and I desperately gasp for air. So this is how I die, huh? The world around me starts to grow silence and dim.The tiger at this time was already in front of me and with a loud roar it open its mouth showing rows of bloody pure white teeth as darkness quickly over take my vision. _____________________________________________________________ Haha Sorry for the cliff! :D [Volume One] Chapter 7 Author''s Note: This is Arthur''s P.O.V ________________________________________ *Cough* *Cough* Waking up, the feeling up of boulders weighing on my chest is spread throughout my body. ....Where am I? The last thing I remember is being stab in the heart by....wait how am I alive? Ah, forget it as long as I''m alive. Thinking of this I look down on myself checking to see if I''ve any wounds or anything, I notice that the white robes I should be wearing is now bathed in red giving off the stench of blood. There isn''t any wounds on my body which brought me to furrow my eyebrows in confusion because I know that Dustin pierce my heart before I black out. What really happen? Who blood is this? Questions keep popping up in my head but without knowledge the questions soon disappeared into the back of my mind. I inhale deep breaths trying to get used to this stench before I end up barfing on myself. Slowly sitting up from the cold hard ground, I glance around noticing that I seem to be in a cave. There is white crystals illuminating the cave making it a beautiful scenery. Ice crystals are hanging from the ceiling completing the scenery.If I had pencil and paper nothing would stop me from drawing this. Standing up I started to walk and travel around the cave trying to find the way out. As I travel inside the cave I notice the increase of white crystals which was kind of strange but I ignored it which was kind of foolish of me. About thirty minutes or so later I see in the distance a lit up open space, I quicken my pace as the feeling of getting out of this place rapidly increased. But what appear before me made my heart sink in disappointed. What is it that appeared before me you may ask? Well it won''t hurt to tell. The scene before me is actually quite beautiful but not the scene I wanted to see. Appearing before me is an open cave with hundreds of ice crystals hanging down from the ceiling and below it is an open clear lake with white crystals and purple flowed surrounding it, this would make a great seclusion place to separate oneself from the world. *Splash* *Splash* The sound of water splashing interrupted my thoughts, turning my head towards the source of the sound my mouth drop as my eyes bulge from my eye sockets. A nude alluring 6''2 female figure is swimming through the lake as her long sky blue hair floats in water behind her. I don''t know why but mind seem very calm instead of being in a state of panic. Taking a deep breath I take a step backwards trying not to disturb the lady during her bath but unfortunately the heavens wasn''t on my side. *Shatter* A white crystal by my foot was crush into million pieces giving off a very loud sound. Immediately she turn and face me as her eyes lock onto my eyes causing me to instinctively freeze. Just with a stare she can suck the soul of any man she want. A smile creep up her lip which was kind of strange because usually when a female finds out a stranger is looking at them bathing will usually either try to kill them or scream in fear. Slowly she swim towards my location and gets up out of the water. Not bothering to cover herself she seductively walk towards me which only brought an aroused feeling to swept over my body. Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. Standing in front of me she finally open her mouth " Well, well may I ask why is a god doing in my seclusion space...can it be that you want something" saying this she puff her lip. Wait....how do she know I''m a god? Well I might not be a god but I do have godly powers but there is no way she should be able to see through me. I furrow my eyebrows and look at her " How do you know that I am a god?" I ask in suspicion. A snicker escape her lips "Well since it''s a god asking I''ll tell you. My name is Fiona and If you haven''t guess already I''m an empress water dragon. The reason I can tell that you are a god is because I have special eyes and also a special body. My eyes allow me to see through mortal souls but if it''s a god I wouldn''t be able to do that. Since I can''t see through your soul then it means you are a god, but I can tell that you''re a curse god" she said smiling slightly. Hearing her explanation cause me to raise an eyebrow but once she said that last sentence made me to smile wryly as my mood turn sullen giving me the aura of a abandon dog. Seeing my expression her lips purse up "remember when I said I had a special body, well if you have sex with me your curse will be cured but it will come with a price" She said as her tranquil face expression turned into a serious one. Is she trying to make a deal with me? A god? She joking right? Well I''ll play along for now. "And what is that price?" I ask. "Well since it will be my first time you''ll take responsibility and you''ll help save my clan" she said. I can feel my lip twitch slightly hearing her said the word "responsibility", I don''t mind helping her but...wait she is beautiful though it will be nice if she part of my harem, mmm let me test her " You know I can just push you down and savage you right know" I said this while I rub my index finger down her neck to cleavage. Not being affected by this she smile " From the look of your eyes I don''t see any malicious ntent and plus gods shouldn''t scoop so low to get what they want should they." Heh...this girl I''m starting to like her more and more. "Ok, I will accept you proposal not because of saving my dignity but just to have a dragon girl in my harem," I said as I shrug my shoulders. "As long as you can save my clan it doesn''t matter" ________________________________________ Author''s Note: FrozenVoid here! The author of Arthur "the successor of the god of time" and now I''m the author of a new fiction ''Half and half'' *Boo!* What!? Don''t boo me! "Get off the stage!" *Throws tomatoes* *sniff* *sniff* my poor brittle heart.. Ahem, OK let''s get serious here. I already know what you guys thinking "Sigh...another RRL author writing two project which most likely neither of them will be finish," that is what you''re thinking but the reason I''m writing another story is to actually help spread out my imagination and to write better. To be truthful just for me to write a chapter takes about 4-5 hours and during that time I''m usually in my own world thinking of anything other than the story itself which is pretty bad....*sigh* Anyways, feedbacks and suggestion will always be welcome and appreciated. I hope you enjoyed the chapter :D
