IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.403 It’s Time to Show Them, Johan.

Down in the dining room, the air was thick enough to chew, heavy with unspoken accusations between Queen Rianna Meredydd and Baroness Elizabeth Dule. The latter shooting glares at her old friend because of her reluctance to see what the Dark Elf has done to her family and to Rianna herself. While in contrast, the Queen sat in her chair, a placid smile on her face, as she sipped her tea, her eyes closed, enjoying the morning sun.

They were waiting for the rest of Eliz...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.402 Amelia the Shadow Mage.

Amelia slipped through her window and rolled over the top of the window sill with a cute comedic-like squeak and thud on her bedroom's plush rug. She couldn't help but smile as she thought about her secret rendezvous with Ben and how she was able to sneak past her parents guards. She had never felt so alive, so free, so... loved. She knew that her mother would never approve of her relationship with a stable hand, but she didn't care. She was tired of living her life a...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.401 Rya’s Discovery and Amelia’s Magic 🦴

While Tayna and Johan were getting dressed, a curtain Dark Elf Princess was making her way towards the stables on the Dule Family Estate grounds. Any servant that spotted Rya stiffened up and bowed their heads out of respect. But they also kept a safe distance from the Dark Elf as they believe what their Baroness was saying about her. It wasn't the first time Rya had seen people afraid of her, but it was becoming less and less common in the palace, and it was a little...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Vol.7 Ch.400 Johan’s Practice 🦴

Elizabeth and Rianna were silent for what seemed like an eternity. They looked like they were in a fierce game a chess, but neither one was making a move. They were just staring each other down.

Rianna looked confident as her gaze had softened, but Elizabeth knew her friend and knew that there was a fire in her eyes that was waiting to be unleashed.

Elizabeth was trying to keep her composure as she didn't want to show her fear, but she was failing. Her heart was pounding in h...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Vol.7 Ch.399 Elizabeth’s Unexpected Guests

As the night went on and the morning sun was beginning to rise on the horizon. The city was beginning to come to life as the smell of fresh baked bread and the sounds of a cart being pulled by horse could be heard on the cobblestone streets.

Rya had just finished her bath after another long night of love making with Quin and was getting ready to meet with Rianna and Yuliana.

'Ugh!? I swear, one of these days I will make Quin's little man soft inside my pussy! Woman are s...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Vol.7 Ch.398 Devulging Family Dule Secrets

Yuliana wore a goofy, open-mouth smile that lit up her face, but she found herself rendered speechless for a long, awkward three minutes. As the silence stretched on, the atmosphere grew thick with curiosity, each guest exchanging perplexed glances, save for Rianna, who seemed to be relishing the moment. The Royal Elf's sudden quiet left everyone, except for her friend, bewildered about what was happening.

'By the Spirits! I didn't come up with something fast enough! Dirt! Dirt! Splinte...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Vol.7 Ch.397 When Do You Think You’ll Be Carrying?

Most of the day went by uneventfully as Rya and her friends went around the shops trying on jewelry, clothes, and glanced at an alchemist's potions. Amelia Dule finally was getting clothes that fit her new mature form, while Rya found enchanted laces that were meant to keep armor together from the abuses of monster attacks, but instead on armor, she had a tailor put them on her corset. This time her mana didn't get triggered when Anna was able to tighten her corset to hide her bump.

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Vol.7 Ch.396 The Beggars Can’t Be Choosers

Viscount William Lysander was back in the domain of Silverhaven in the far eastern part of Fiafyr. His lands stretch along the Azure Sea coast and his port cities are the only major hubs to trade with the Wasser Continent and beyond.

The Viscount was irritated as he was busily working to save Alaric's secret black market ventures after the Dark Elf has done so much damage in the background. From finding and pillaging the Duke's hidden vaults inside of ...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.395 All Isn't Well Around The Duke

The Divalo Manor had two-meter high steel wrought fence, with spikes at the top and bottom to keep pedestrians at bay. However, this fence was nothing more than a nightlight to the fifty golems who surrounded the Duke's estate. And the golems were waiting for someone to do something that would give them a reason to attack.

One of the golems was stationed atop the rooftop of a three story building across the street from the manor, and the golem's e...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.394 Gossiping With Friends.

The carriage moved down the streets of the Capital, and the commoners looked with curiosity as they spotted the elves in the opulent carriage. The rumors about Rya were finally spreading through the capital now that she's made more appearances outside of the palace walls. Sure they've the Dark Elf's praises from the priestesses and clerics of the Temple of Balance. And the seeing all of Iyomelka's idols with the two kneeling goddesses, Nils and Nebulus, have brought intrigue to the ...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.393 Rya’s Stubbornness and Nieren’s Cockiness

A few minutes later, Nieren and Elaine walked into Rya's chambers. They planned to meet up with Rya's new friends and they were planning on going shopping, even though Nieren thought it was stupid.

"Sis, we're ready!" Elaine called out.

They heard an audible yelp from Anna as Rya ran to hide as she pulled the poor maid into her bathroom.

Nieren's eye brow raised while Elaine was more perplexed than anything.

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.392 Hilda’s Preparation and Yuliana’s Poor Pokerface

Hilda's furniture was rearranged with meticulous care to replicate the layout of Quinus's chamber, an effort born out of desperation and driven by the events of the past few days. She had cunningly managed to introduce several items gifted by Duchess Leandra Revelia into her own quarters, all in the hopes of enacting a plan that felt increasingly treacherous as the deadline loomed near.

Among the items was a small, ornate box containing an AphroAroma Wick, designed to inc...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.391 What Is Leandra’s Scheme

After breakfast was done, Rya and Sara were in the queen's parlor. They were seated across from each other on a couch waiting for the Queen.

Sara felt the most out of place since the queen had never really given her much attention before until a couple days ago. It still felt surreal to her, no longer being under her parents rule and not having to worry about their disapproval of her decisions. She was finally free to live her own life and follow...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.390 Awkward Breakfast With The Family

Breakfast went with little issue. Sera ate her food and tried to avoid making eye contact with her sisters, especially Jemma and Eleanora as they looked at her suspiciously. The King and Queen didn't seem to notice, but Dalia had a triumphant smirk as she could same a male's scent all over her, no matter how much oils or bath salts Sera used to wash herself.

Quinus didn't know what was going on with his cousin and the Wolfkin and he glanced over at Rya to see if he needed to step in wi...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.389 Sara's Hidden Admirer 🦴

Lady Sara has always lived within the gilded cage of her noble title—duty before desire, marriage before love. But when a mysterious Mana Rush overwhelms her in the East Barracks, she loses control at the worst possible moment: in front of Sir Hewson, the knight who has silently carried a torch for her for over fifteen years.

What begins as an embarrassing lapse quickly unearths the truth neither dared to speak. Sara’s carefully built walls of propriety crack, and Hewson’s long-s...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.388 Sera Learns The Hard Way

After an hour of killing the monsters, Sera and her sisters were a little winded. Their chests were rising and falling as they tried to catch their breaths.

Rya carefully watched all of them for signs of Mana Rush and she was focused on preventing Clara and Lydia from experiencing it more than the over three. Due to both of them still being so young. Clara managed to slay one, while Lydia managed to get two of them. Elaine also needed her mana vein to grow so she helped L...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.387 Mana Farming with the Revelia Sisters

The sun began its ascent over the imposing walls of Maldura Palace, casting a warm, golden hue that danced across the dew-kissed grass of the palace gardens. Each ray of light glinted off the tiny droplets, creating a shimmering spectacle that contrasted with the eerie cries echoing from the nearby barracks. The air was crisp and invigorating, filled with the cheerful sounds of chirping birds and the gentle hum of busy insects, yet a sinister undercurrent of pain reverberated through the othe...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.386 The Queen Gets a Letter

It was a couple days after the Lydia's Coming of Age Party and the aftermath was setting in throughout the Kingdom and the King and Queen couldn't be happier. They were able to pry away their nieces from their parents, while Alaric's standing was at a all time low after the Ladies of the Court witnessed how terrible Jemma's husband was. Sera's and Eleanora's weren't that much better, but now that the Kingdom knows that they have Mage Veins, a formal declaration of divorce was sent to&nbs...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.385 Duval’s Struggle

The Sun began to rise over the capital city of the Fiafyr Kingdom. All seemed at peace. However, in the southern outskirts of the city, Tairal. Where the Prime Minister's Manor was located, things were not so peaceful.

Duval, the Prime Minister of Fiafyr and his wife, Isabella, were in their manor arguing about their future.

The results and the plan

Hey all! So, here's the plan after seeing the results of the poll. I will try to get two chapters out a week for IGIWS, while trying to get a chapter of Soul Mirror out every other week. I like to finish that volume so I'm good to continue it later once I'm in a better place to focus on working. e.i. when my kids are going to school.

As for The Reluctant Demon Lord, I will start on Vol.2 once I finish Soul Mirror.

As of right now. I will post another backlog short story, hopeful...

What should I do next?

Hey all! So, I'm still trying to adjust to life with having a second child and it is unfortunately cutting into my writing time. But that's to be expected until I can get them into school, which will be in a couple of years (cry). Anywho, I wanted to bring in you Guys and Gals in on what I should focus on next. A part of me want to go back to Soul Mirror and get that book's first Volume squared away, but I would only like to get TRDLOL going as well. Or since I got things fresh in my mind, I...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Vol.6 Ch.385 A Intruder Is Looking for the Queen.

The streets of Tairal were bustling with merchants, workers, and soldiers. The sun was high in the sky, and the air was warm and dry. It was a typical summer day in the capital of the Fiafyr Kingdom, a perfect day to relax and unwind. But, for a group of three young men and one older man, this was not the case.


Quinus, the Crown Prince, was dressed in a simple tunic and trousers, his reddish-brown hair neatly styled, and his golden eyes were alert. He was a...

MME: The Cursed VR Headset

The line between fantasy and reality has never been this pink.

Synopsis:

Robert just wanted his VR headset back. What he got instead was a bright-pink replacement his sister picked up from a strange little shop that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Annoyed but desperate, he straps it on—only to discover a game more vivid than anything he’s ever played. The graphics are flawless. The immersion is total. And then a grinning succubu...

The Forgotten Gender: Ch.21: The Sinister Mother Superior

Mother Doreth looked up at Josephine, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Sister Josephine? Are you feeling alright?"

"I-I'm fine, Mother Doreth. I just had a big meal," Josephine replied, and Mother Doreth looked at one of her best disciples with a skeptical eye. However, she didn't have time to worry about it, and the day was still young, and she needed to get Josephine out on the field.

"Very well. We can't have you slacking off. I need you to go to the market and check on...

The Forgotten Gender: Ch.20: The Every-Changing Priestess 🦴

Josephine tried to understand this concept. The knowledge of men had been lost to the sands of time, and no one had seen a man in over 50,000 years. Even though there is nothing in the books or texts on the church's teachings, Evan's masculine appearance, deep voice, and his massive cock are the perfect combination of a man. She didn't know it, but her body craved this. She didn't know it yet, but Lord Evan was going to add her as one of his mistresses,...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.384 The Goddesses Found Hope

Up in the clouds above the Capital of Fiafyr. Two panicking Dark Elf Goddesses were pacing around Iyomelka who looked like she was in the middle of a deep meditation.

Iyomelka was looking through billions of different possibilities to save both her's and Nil's Chosen Ones. None of this would have happened if Nils didn't convince Hilda to trust Leandra. But Nils couldn't help herself, she wanted to talk to Rya about saving the Dark Elves, however, Iyomelka put up...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.383 Alaric’s Delusions Of Grandeur

Alaric was walking the hallways of his manor with his hands behind his back as he looked lost in thought. Belial following him holding the box that had his teleportation ring.

The butler couldn't help but feel like his lordship was at his wits end, and Belial couldn't help anymore with his spy network being compromised by Princess Rya. Things were looking grim and yet Alaric's face was filled with excitement, which concerned the butler.

"My Lord, if I...

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.382 The Plans of a Foul Noblewoman

Hilda had been wandering the halls of the Manor looking for Leandra. The goddess told her that her the Foul Noblewomen was her only chance to save Quinus from that Dark Elf and she was going to do it for her Prince's sake.

"You?! Get the hell out of my sight you pretentious prude!" Alaric roared but Hilda didn't seem impressed as she walked inside the room with Belial running in after her.

"You must leave. My lord is busy and doesn't have time to entertain your nonsens...

Short Smut: Red Femme

IGIWS FIRST DRAFT: Ch.381 Alaric's Losing his Mind

Back in the Divalo Manor, right after Alaric's debacle, when Rya demonstrating a small piece of her true power, in front of him and the Ladies of the Court. The Duke felt a since of hopelessness that he's never experienced before. Not even the time when he thought he was going to be executed by his younger brother, King Cyndre, did he feel such dread. For the first time, Alaric was truly afraid. Afraid of being found out that he was plotting to kill Quinus. Afraid that Rya coul...
