26) A King's True Face

Eric frowned as he moved & weaved around numerous punches & kicks, inverting gravity around him and smirking as he watched the Quartum Army bots being lifted into the air before flicking his finger downwards.

In an instant, deafening crashes echoed all around Eric as the robots were slammed into the ground, the mage looking at the army waiting at the back before raising an eyebrow as he watched the robots climbing out from the ground with minor scratches on their armoured plates...

25)A King Rescues Some Hostages

'Oh, that's not good.' Eric frowned as he continued flying around the Fiore-Bosco border, focusing more ethernano into his eyes before cursing as he caught sight of their first obstacle.

'What's not good?'

'Border barrier between Bosco, Iceberg & Fiore.' Eric answered Bacchus' question as he quickly dove down to the rocky mountains near the border, Flare unwrapping the duo in her hair and Screecher cancelling his invisibility as the three l...

24)A King's Infiltration

“So, I never got to ask. Have you gotten used to the new life of not having to live with giants?” Eric asked as he & Flare sat in a closed off room from the rest of the restaurant, Flare smirking as she took a sip of her win before nodding.

“I have. It's much better than having to dodge liters of sweat whenever the giants start training or working in the desert sun.”

“The smell must have been atrocious.” Eric joked, chuckling as Flare made a sour face and shook her...

23)A King's First Date

“No.”

“Come on~! It would be so easy with you two.” Eric whined, Guy just rolling his eyes as Bacchus chuckled & Warcry shook his head.

“You and Bacchus are more than enough for a simple S-Class job. Why the hell do you need us two as well?” Warcry asked, to which Eric just shrugged before answering.

“For man power.”

“Exactly why I don't want to go. You and Bacchus are probably the strongest in the guild in terms of pure raw power, with Warcry jus...

22)A King Faces a Dragon

“T-That's your name, right? E-Eric? Eric Creed?”

“That is me, yes. Um, do we know each other?” Eric feigned confusion since while he did know of Erza, he knew of her in another life and not like she knew of him in his new life.

Apparently, they were friends as she looked both hurt and confused.

“D-Do you not remember me?”

“Not really, no. I kind of woke up with amnesia in the middle of a forest a little under a year ago.”

“O-Oh, I see.” She mu...

21)A King Meets Fairies

“Hmm~Hhm~Hmm~Hmm~” A hum echoed in the air as Flare walked down the road towards the Quatro Cerberus guild hall, smiling and waving at the people she passed as they smiled and waved back.

“Hey, Flare! How are you doing?” An elderly woman asked as Flare continued on her path, the mage stopping in her tracks as she smiled and shrugged.

“As well as it could go, Mrs. Bian. How about you? You know you shouldn't carry heavy objects like those bags.” She spoke with a disappro...

20)A King's True Power

The air was still, birds flying about lazily as a peaceful atmosphere hung over the forest critters on the outskirts of the arena.

That peace was swiftly shattered by a pillar of scorching heat that evaporated the clouds above the arena and increased the temperature tremendously, the critters running away as a menacing aura encroached over the entirety of Oak Town.

'What the fuck?' Bacchus' eyes were wide and an excited grin was on his face as he watched Eric being s...

19)A King Goes All Out

“Remind me to never fight you in a tournament again.” Eric rolled his eyes at Rocker's mock-fright while Nobarly and Flare snickered, Leo just smirking before chuckling as he saw Eric's eyes glowing.

“You don't have to scan me over every ten seconds, you know. Despite how lanky I look, I can take more blows than these two here.”

“Oi! I'll have you know that if I wasn't injured from my previous round, I would have won the fight against this guy with ease.” Rocker exclai...

18)A King Faces a Shield

'If I know Screecher as well as I do, he's probably hiding out in an obvious place with his doll while also having easy access to a sneak attack as soon as I enter whatever room he is in. I can't charge in or wait like I usually would, so I guess it's time to actually try.' Buffer thought to himself with a frown before he sighed, running his fingers through his hair before reaching for his collar.

Taking it off, he smirked as he put it in his pants' pocket before rolling his ne...

17)A King Watches

“Really? We both know I didn't get injured at all.” Eric whispered to Flare with a smirk, but the girl ignored him as she checked him over while Eric glared at the mages snickering in the background.

“Be quiet, you. I told you that I would be your medic for the exams.” She said back and he rolled his eyes as he continued to drink his whiskey, waiting for a while before the red-haired lady was satisfied as she went back to drinking her wine.

“What's the verdict, doc?” E...

16)A King is Entertained

“Hey, don't worry man. You're good at traps & captures, but it's just bad luck that you were up against me.” Eric said with a smile as he patted Jäger on the back, to which the brute just snorted with a smirk as the other six competitors chuckled.

“Yeah, right. If you didn't have those, I could have kicked your ass.” Jäger boasted and Eric just chuckled as he nodded.

“Sure, sure, bud. Let me know if you have any other daydreams today.”

“Hey! I could kick ...

15)A King vs A Druid

Eric felt it as soon as he stepped through the threshold of the barrier in front of them, barely even registering Flare's gasp as he stifled his own.

The air felt dense and heavy, as if the world itself was trying to force him to his knees. With each moment, he could feel the air shaking with joy as pure ambient ethernano ran rampant with no care.

As far as the eye can see, hundreds of large pillars & stalagmites made out of clear blue crystals reached up to the heavens, the g...

14)A King Enters the Playground

“Hey, you're back! How was your time at the Eternal Flame?” Druwat asked as Eric walked into his office, noting how his smile was stress-free and how there was a glow of contentment & happiness around him as he floated up to his desk with ease.

“Far better than I was expecting. It opened my eyes a lot.” He said before both Druwat & Flare blinked in surprise as the young mage leaned down & gave the red-haired mage a quick kiss on the cheek as he sat down on the extra ...

13) A King Begins Training

“…Repeat what you just said.” Goldmine said with a blink of his eyes as he tilted his shades down to look directly into Eric's eyes while Bacchus & Guy just blinked in shock at the young mage's words.

“I want to go to Ca-Elum to train.”

“Oh, so I wasn't imagining you acting like a suicidal imbecile.” Goldmine hummed with a nod and both Bacchus & Guy just plugged their ears while Eric reeled back as Mt. Goldmine exploded.

“Are you fucking insane?! Did ...

76)The Trickster is Here II

“Isa, I swear if you keep on taking missions, then I'm chopping off your balls.” I sighed as Akeno growled out her words and the fact that both Kuroka & Tsubaki were nodding in agreement with her didn't make it easier.

“I know, I know. I keep on making a promise to spend more time with you guys, but it's just that everyone seems to want something from me.” I muttered with a sigh as I sat down on my bed, hearing Akeno sighing as she sat down behind me & softly massaged s...

12) A King Meets a Former Subject

“Dismissed.” Eric watched as Goldmine and his three S-Class mages walked towards his office before the young mage turned and began to make his way towards Flare.

“So, you're the Eric we've heard so much about?” Eric blinked as he heard someone behind him, turning to see Nobarly and Rocker walking towards him while the others walked back to their respectively groups.

He also didn't miss Jäger giving him a grin & a thumbs-down before walking away, both the other mages n...

11)A King Joins A Tournament

A calm silence hung in the air around the Quatro Cerberus Guild's backyard as the ground itself cracked & cratered and yet, it stopped just a few meters away from its origin point as a curtain of crimson flames danced in the air above where the ground was slowly being destroyed.

Eric tuned out the world around him as he focused on both his flames & gravity, intensifying the pull of gravity even further and grunted as he felt his feet sinking into the ground below him as if it wa...

75)The Trickster is Here I

“Is the party really necessary? Didn't we have one just two days ago before we took out the other packs?” I groaned as I sat next to Makarov, who cackled as he took a deep gulp from his pitcher of ale.

“Of course, Isaiah! Today is the day of victory of our long feud against our enemies and the day that all of the packs have been united into one! Besides, I thought you were a devil!” Makarov exclaimed with a wide grin before he turned back to the celebratories, to which I sighed...

74)The War Against Three III

3rd Person POV:
Natalia & Amelia vs Luka:
Battle BEGIN!!

Luka grinned as he easily ducked out of the way of Natalia's lunge, his body a blur as he spun & tried to cut her in half only to click his tongue as earth rose into a wall that managed to block his attack just in time for Natalia to move out of the way.

Amelia frowned as she snapped her fingers, the air around Luka warping before it erupted in a large explos...

10)A King Becomes A Slayer

“H-Hold up. Back track a bit. You're my what?!” Eric exclaimed with wide eyes and Atlas chuckled while he nodded at Druwat, who nodded back before he & the other two giants walked further away to give the two some privacy.

“Like I said, you are my son or is that so hard to believe?”

“Let's see. I don't have any wings or claws, can't breathe fire or use any kind of dragon slayer magic. Oh, and let's not forget the most important part. I had actual human parents.” 2024-02-02 22:15:58 +0000 UTC View Post

9)A King Meets a Beast

“Hey! Our wondrous heroes have returned with a successful S-Class job!” Goldmine exclaimed with a happy grin and his whiskey glass raised as soon as Eric and Warcry walked through the doors, the young mage rolling his eyes & the S-Class mage chuckling as the mages in the Quatro Cerberus guild hall cheered and clapped.

“Thank you. Thank you, but I was not involved in this. Eric was the one who did the job perfectly and he even got a special gift from the princess for it. A swe...

73)The War Against Three II

'Damn, that was probably the best party i've had in this life…but the hangover was not worth it.' I groaned as I slowly stood up, wincing at the severe headache roaring in my skull before I blinked as I saw that I was lying on the ground while other bodies, both men & women, were all knocked out as well.

“Note to self: never try & outdrink two dozen lycans in one sitting.” I whispered to myself before a frown appeared on my forehead as he clenched both my groin &...

8)A King Gets the Job Done

“How are you, Boss?” Chase asked as he walked into the small abandoned warehouse they were using, ignoring the glares their two captives were aiming at them as Dyst sighed.

“Better than earlier but still not at full health. Whoever that Eric kid was, he was skilled.”

“Is he truly that powerful?” Chase asked, Dyst smirking as he detected the frown in his tone before speaking.

“No, he's not that powerful, but he is skilled. As our information said, he's been a...

7)A King is Defeated

Sparks flew as Dante and Chase clashed, the knight parrying a stab at his throat and barely leaning back out of the way of a thrust to his chest before he slashed outwards, trying to get his opponent's throat.

Unfortunately, Chase chose that time to turn into shadows and sink into the ground, his daggers falling slowly to the ground just as he reappeared behind Dante with another pair drawn.

Dante smirked as he easily ducked under the attack while also thrusting his blade upward...

6)A King Meets His Lesser

“So, princess, these friends of yours.” Eric began as he walked at the side of Veronica through a path with trees on both sides of it, the princess in question humming as she looked at him.

“Yes? What about them?”

“Well, why weren't they with you? Wouldn't it be safer for all of you to travel together?”

“No, it would not. One is a non-combatant that dislikes violent endeavours, so Dante suggested that the two of them travel to the outskirts of Veronica &...

5)A King Must Escort his Subjects

'No damn way.' Eric thought in shock as he and Warcry walked into the room, managing to hide his shock at the sight of a large, imposing man whose body consisted of geometrical forms with sharp angles & long, wavy orange hair that reached down to his shoulders.

Dressed in a white cloak that hid his body from view with the hood down and a welcoming smile on his face, the man looked to be the perfect saint, but Eric knew different because as far as he knew, Richard Buchanan ...

4)A King's Holy Grail

“Come on! You can't slow down now!” Bacchus exclaimed as his palm flashed through the air, Eric barely able to move out of the way as he instinctively swung a hook at the other man's jaw and clicked his tongue as the drunkard easily slapped the fist away.

Ducking under a heel roundhouse kick from Bacchus, Eric's eyes widened as he realized it was a feint as the man easily switched to an axe-kick before driving the foot downwards and into the middle of his back, forcing the wind out...

3)A King's First Victory

There was no warning for the wyvern as the ground under it rose up in rows of jagged spikes, most of them not strong or durable enough to pierce its underbelly, but the wyvern screeched loudly as a few did stab shallowly into its flesh.

Eric didn't give time for it to fully wake up as a dark purple magic circle appeared in the air above the wyvern, Eric growling as he brought his hands down and the ground under the wyvern shattered as the beast was forced deep into the crater beneath i...

2)A King's First Job

“247…248…249…250!” Eric gasped out as he finished his final rep, collapsing to the ground with a relieved groan as he felt the muscles across his entire body aching after finishing his daily exercises.

“And 250 weighted handstand push-ups. Not too bad considering you couldn't even do ten push-ups when you started three ago.” Bacchus said with a grin and Eric just groaned as he gave a thumbs-up, taking a minute or two for his stamina to return before he sighed as he pushed...

1)A King Becoming a Mage

As Eric woke up from his impromptu nap, he hissed as he felt a migraine flashing through his skull before he blinked as he stared at the white ceiling above his head.

'Where…where the hell am I?' He wondered as he slowly sat upright before grunting in pain as he felt & heard his stomach rumble, the hunger nearly nauseating before he looked around and saw that he was the only one in the small hospital room he was in.

Apart from the bed he was lying on, the two empt...
