Disciple Pictures

I used a website to auto generate the disciples for Damien, not everything in these cards is correct (e.g Akna being a 'war' mage when she is actually an ice mage since I have no clue what a war mage is.) 

Was going to keep these just lying around on my PC, but since Patreon allows image uploads I thought I could leave them here for anyone interested :)

38. Master Nightshades First Disciple

Damien's eyes widened in shock, “No wonder you learned that cleaning spell so quickly, this is going to be difficult, even for me…” He muttered while looking to the sky.

Fay had a complicated expression, was the outcome favourable or dreadful? She couldn’t discern the result from Damiens expression, which showed one of complicated excitement.

“Master… please tell me.” It had been Fay’s dream since she was a little girl to become a mage. After learning the cleaning ...

37. Tour of the Mage Tower

Damien managed to wrestle his hand from Master Grey’s fierce grip. For a man that appears old enough to die from a sudden gust of wind, he sure was energetic. Running at a speed that would surprise even Usain bolt, anyone would believe he is a lunatic escapee from the local nursing home. Damien followed closely behind and to his surprise, Fay had no problems keeping up. Although she looked exhausted, unlike Damien who always looked in pristine condition, no matter the circumstance.

Th...

36. A New Beginning

Welcome to the start of the new arc, for those interested the last arc was 60k words long (220 pages) I have the next two arc's planned out and they should be of similar length to this one.

“What a crafty bastard!” Damien gnashed his teeth in rage, he had never felt so humiliated in both his lives. “Why didn’t I think he would scam me? I was foolish, this is no longer a game. The stakes aren’t set, the playing field can be changed at any time.”

Despite his a...

35. Playing in the palm of his hand

Damien stood there with a calm expression. His inner turmoil was shrouded from the many hysterical spectators. Hundreds, thousands even, looked down upon him with varying expressions. Judging him for actions that he personally did not commit, yet continues to haunt him to this very day.

Damien just shook his head and debated internally, “Stop wallowing in self-doubt and pity, look around. If these livestock are here to witness my downfall or rise from the ashes is no matter. Feel...

34. May the Duel Begin

An exceptionally sleepy wolfkin meandered through the busy university campus. He desperately tried to rub the fatigue accumulated from a late night of studying from his eyes. His wolf ears were pressed flat against his head, showing his depressed mood.

The boy began to mutter to himself, making others look at him strangely, “I was up all night for Professor Victor's assignment, yet my Pyrokinesis is still at the D grade… if this keeps up I will fail the year and have to stay behind....

33. Sharing a Bed with Master

Within a dark room filled with barrels of aged wine, a girl with black hair silently sobbed as she clutched the edges of her dress. The room would occasionally shake causing dust to fill the air.

“When will master,” the girl muttered between breaths, “come back for me… I hate these tight places.”

Vivid memories of a horrible childhood flashed past her eyes. Being locked in a cupboard for days at a time by her mother, who endlessly screamed at her through the door, “A N...

32. Mortal Demigods

Damien swung open the window and soared into the night sky with levitation. As a B grade mage, Damien could sense the movement of mana to a certain extent but even a random citizen could feel the enormous movement of mana in the air.

The ground rumbled as the towering city walls began to rise into the night sky. Damien then looked to the center of the city and saw the Royal palace glow a brilliant blue color. It was similar to Dalon’s hands while rune engraving but on the sca...

31. Date Night

Damien opened the car door and looked at the muddy ground, deciding to protect his shoes he activated levitation and floated over towards the entrance of the tavern.

“Are you sure this is a blacksmith Fay?” Damien asked in puzzlement as he opened the doors and was greeted with a few empty tables and chairs with a bar at the far end.

Before Fay could answer a heavy bang of metal hitting metal resounded through the tavern. Damien raised an eyebrow in surprise. He never ...

30. Blood Queen

The sun gracefully dipped below the horizon, signaling the end of another day. Stall owners packed up their belongings onto wooden carts and began the journey home. Stores closed their doors and enabled cheap magical alarm artifacts and the more wealthy stores even had weak magical shields appear around their doors and windows.

Although many shops and stalls were closing for the day, taverns and brothels opened up to prepare for the long night. In a particularly popular road in the comm...

29. Duke Nightshade

Damien couldn't believe the meeting went so well. He knew the King dotes on his daughter heavily and therefore used it to his advantage. Asking for her hand in marriage was a simple way to set the bar high, and appear reluctant to receive anything less. Since the king valued his daughter's marriage so highly it was a fatal weakness, allowing Damien to bully the King into such a ridiculous deal. To become a Duke and acquire a car worth more than a mansion, all because he saved a cousin of the ...

28. The Vampire Prince Meets a King

Damien lazily sat in the car with his eyes closed. He felt his body rapidly trying to repair his wrecked mana circuits. The pain was intense, but he managed to control his expression. Imyrll was still sleeping in the front seat but Fay had woken up. She kept shooting Damien glances for an unknown reason. Could she tell how much pain he was in despite his facade? Or maybe his sleeping face is just too handsome?

As the car passed through the streets many residents stopped to stare at both...

27. Death With a Wave of His Hand

Damien emerged from the forest with a slight smile, the clearing was filled with mindless zombies that just stood still or walked in circles. Their last order from Alan was to kill the man, but he suddenly flew away!

Once Damien entered the range of a zombie, their heads all collectively looked in his direction.

“So they are like a hive mind? But with the connection lost to the ‘queen’ they are now just mindlessly following their last order…”

The horde of zombies a...

26. Adapt or Die

Damien's claws and fangs retreated to where they belonged. His bloodlust subsided as his perfect posture disappeared and indifference crumbled away. He stumbled towards a tree with watery eyes. His throat felt clogged as he gasped for breath. He tried to throw up, but nothing came out.

“What the fuck did I just do?” Damien muttered while clenching his fist tightly. “How can I just kill someone? Especially like that?”

Damien was horrified. He had sucked both Imyrll and Fay�...

25. Vampire vs Necromancer

A middle-aged man leaned against a tree while taking deep breaths.

“Ugh, my mana reserves… I can’t hold on much longer…”

His name was Alan, his master had ordered him to gather zombies and attack this location. He sourced the zombies from a farming village nearby. He killed all the annoying little kids, since they made weak zombies and would only drain his mana reserves.

Killing an entire village was surprisingly easy. He just released a low-level curse into the wa...

24. Never Awaken a Vampire's Dormant Wrath

Fay, Imyrll, and Walter watched Damien casually sit in his seat as if the battle going on outside was of no concern. Despite the soundproofing, the clang of swords, smashing of bones, and the screams of the dying soldiers outside caused them all to flinch.

Imyrll knuckles turned white from gripping the parchment of Luna Runes a little too tightly. She kept looking between the parchment and Damien. She was sure she could escape with her Spatial Magic, but would the Princess forgive her i...

23. This farce has gone on long enough

Beldroth finished up the most pressing paperwork and after lunch went to inspect the ‘recruits’. The Silvermoon clan was destroyed twenty years ago, these recruits are the sons and daughters of current or retired soldiers that have been in service to the Queen since the fall of the Silvermoon clan.

They were all in a training field on the Princess’s side of the palace. They all wore cheap leather armor and wielded wooden training swords. Some were sparring, while others were pract...

22. The Fake Elites March To Death

So I got a bit carried away today and the chapter went over 3k words so I decided to split it up into two separate chapters!

So today is a double chapter day!

(1/2)

“The Princess has requested your services, Captain Beldroth.” A royal scribe commanded from Beldroth’s door.

The tiny man looked comical sitting at such a large and imposing desk, surrounded by mountains of paperwork.

“The hell does she want? I'm almost being worked to de...

21. An Ambush of Horrific Proportions

Under the guidance of Fay, Damien emerged from the basement and was led outside. A cool winter breeze carrying the damp smell of rain assaulted his nose. In the front garden of the mansion was a group of twenty elves, all with long silver hair in ponytails. One elf that Damien recognized from previous playthroughs stepped forward and stood below Damien.

“By Royal Decree, I am here to escort Sir Damien Karles and Miss Fay Karles to the Princess, where a meeting shall be held between Si...

20. A Vampires Guide to Cheating Spatial Manipulation

After 20 minutes of searching, Damien finally located his clothes, hiding away in a servant's wardrobe.

Damien inspected the suit and noticed a bit of dust had accumulated on the shoulder pads.

“Damien robbed a nobleman while traveling to this city for these clothes, since traversing the monster-infested forests while being naked was rather unpleasant.” Damien just laughed lightly at how ridiculous the situation was. The poor nobleman fainted at the sight of Damien emerging fr...

19. It's All About Perspective

Imyrll awoke to the steady thumping of rain against the window. The room was dimly lit, but she appeared to be inside the comfiest bed of all time. She looked around the room with curiosity, but her migraine was stopping her from focusing on any one thing for too long.

“Ugh, I need some water…” Imyrll muttered under her breath and then winced at a wave of pain from trying to move. She resigned to her fate and lay back down, trying to get a grasp of her situation.

The door to...

18. Reflections of a Silver Dagger

“I swear January is the worst month of the year,” Fay muttered under her cloak. Her hands, red from the cold, emerged from her deep pockets and tugged the large hood down tighter over her eyes, trying to get any respite from the rain.

She was quickly ushered through the noble's gate and into the city. The Royal Palace could be seen in the distance at the center of the city, looming over the skyline.

Fay looked around at the almost deserted street, except for the occasional per...

17. Beware of Those Creatures of the Night, Especially Those with the Surname of Nightshade.

Mage Tower Monster Records

Page 3764 - Entry by Sir Peter Aknold, Year 820

While exploring the unnamed mountains to the north of our settlement, we discovered a weird-looking human. Upon capturing the target, we were able to gain more information.

Description of specimen:

Tall, around 195 cm

Long black hair that partially covered the specimen's blood-red eyes.

Fangs around an in...
