Chapter 8: A Conversation Between Two Fathers

“How is she?”

A bit after the Yin-Yang Sphere turned to its dark side and I fell asleep under the tree, Mr. Adamas returned to the throne room to find my father sitting on his high marble seat, contemplating the floor with a deep frown on his face, not even looking up as he asked Mr. Adamas the question.

“She’s resilient, and, as usual, more socially aware than one would expect from her age. To distract from her own fear, she decided to try her best to care for me.” Mr. ...

Chapter 7: Traits and Terror

“Yes!” Mr. Adamas had a big grin on his face as he moved forward, picked up Shaar, and threw the boy into the air before catching him. “My son is a little monster!”

And Shaar, in a rare showing, was giggling loudly as his father threw him up twice more.

“Okay.” My father, still with a big grin on his face, clapped his hands together. “We get it. We get it.

“But the important thing is that his elemental affinities are a good match for the soul beast his mother...

Shadow of the Soul King Announcement

Hey, everyone!

I am working to start turning Shadow of the Soul King into a series of novels to be put on Kindle Unlimited. And, to that end, I have edited the first 47 chapters of the story on both RoyalRoad and ScribbleHub, mostly to provide more clarification for anything that could be confusing and to make a couple scenes in the story better match the cover art.

If anyone is interested, feel free to go reread those chapters and tell me if I've added any new confusing points or...

Chapter 6: Affinities and Cultivation

“So, you put your hands on the orb. And then it measures your elemental affinities.”

My dad looked from Shaar, to me, and then to Shaar again, standing on the other side of a meter tall pedestal with a clear crystalline orb on top that had been moved into the center of his throne room.

Adam Adamas, Shaar’s father, was standing next to him, wearing a black battle robe and towering over my father like he towered over everyone, his steel gray eyes showing nervousness while the ...

Chapter 5: Books and Lessons

“Do you ever wonder what causes day and night?”

“No.” As the six-year-old me looked up at the giant light in the sky that was blocking off my view of the southern part of the Western Continent above us, Shaar reached out with his right hand and pushed my head down so I would stop looking at it, potentially damaging my eyes, all while still reading one of the books taken from my father’s library. “According to those who’ve done research on the nature of our dimension, the Y...

Chapter 4: Eggs and Babies

“How dare that little slut get pregnant.” My great-grandfather, the then head of the Securis branch of the Arma Royal Family, had an expression of rage on his face as his daughter-in-law, my grandmother, followed him quietly into the Royal Arma Clan’s Hall of Soul Beasts.

He was a muscular man, with fading indigo hair, glowing golden eyes, and green flames crawling across his skin everywhere his violet sleeveless battle robes didn’t cover, looking far younger than his 300 years ...

Chapter 3: Blame it on the Alcohol (II)

“Sure.” Renee summoned out the two soul beasts that lived within her soul. A Violet-Eyed Slasher Wolf—a 170 cm long wolf with violet eyes, black fur, and extra large metallic claws on its front paws—appeared on the ground in front of her and a Ruby Crystalline Sniper—a meter tall floating crystalline ruby sphere—appeared over her head. At the same time, she summoned out her two soul artifacts as well, a red necklace with a large ruby in its center appearing around her neck and a s...

Chapter 2: Blame it on the Alcohol (I)

Shaar Adamas, the bastard who twice stabbed me before I eventually agreed to marry him, wasn’t born to be the ruler of the world. He, unlike me, didn’t have the blood of emperors and immortals flowing through his veins. Instead, he was an orphan, then a servant, and then a soldier.

Eventually, however, he rose to power, and, during that rise, people started to call him by a lot of names.

The Spacetime Prodigy. The Shadow. That guy you can stab with swords all you like and it w...

“So, it looks like he’s finally ready.” Diana smiled as she walked up to Mila, her and Isaiah’s two year old son squirming in her arms.

“Yeah.” Mila chuckled slightly as her senses took in the A rank planet they were on, a completely transformed Tanavar, covered in natural landscapes filled with lush flora and fauna instead of an endless battlefield of blood and bones. And it was the center of a giant multi-galaxy spanning formation her husband had been setting up...

Chapter 374: The Power of Preparation and Knowledge

Javandra

Elandra’s automatic defenses were more intense than Javandra had expected, shaking her soul even as she killed the woman, and this made a difference.

When the Heavenly Spark Soul King teleported right behind her, Javandra was a split second too late in responding, and an Elder God ranked bone sword covered in terrifying azure lightning cut off her head.

This, of course, wasn’t enough to kill even an E rank, but a piece of the lightning covering the sword jumped ...

Chapter 371: Revenge and the Eating of Heads

Bellessia

It had been four days, four days during which Bellessia would have died over two hundred times had her daughter and the dragon not been using her for training. And she was growing tired.

She’d been burnt. She’d been frozen. Necrotic magic from death element spirits had caused her legs and arms to wither before life element spirits revitalized them. And she’d been stabbed everywhere, multiple times.

For a while, she’d been hoping her father or someone else w...

Arthur

As he watched the man’s left leg fully regenerate in a matter of seconds, even while diseases and curses ravaged his soul and his access to the power of faith was somehow completely severed, Arthur felt envious and rageful.

Laws were hard. The more you advanced them, the more tiny Law fragments you needed for the next qualitative change in their power, and every individual monster or cultivator’s affinity to each fragment was wildly different. So, the more one advanced ...

Primordius

The death bindings, combined with the curse that was randomly increasing and decreasing his soul defenses, the suppression from the universe, and the attacks from Arthur and Elandra, were bad, putting Primordius into the worst state he’d ever been in as an elder god.

Elandra

Seeing the Mistress of Oaths and Deception and the Heavenly Spark Soul King interfering in the battle again, cursing the old lightning bastard and increasing the suppression from the universe on him and only him, Elandra grew excited. Sure, they were interfering with all sides, and possibly wanted her to die as well, but Primordius was quite a bit more powerful than she’d expected, even when he wasn’t using his most dangerous skill due to the presence of the undead. So, she ...

Aaron Anderson woke up to find himself lying with his back up against a stone wall inside a large cavern, seemingly hewn from a natural cave by primitive tools.

Chapter 367: The Challenges of Crossing Ranks

Diana

As she and Isaiah took out their anger at her mother by using the woman as a training tool, it really started to hit home just how difficult it was to cross ranks to fight at higher levels.

Their Laws were almost at the same grade as her mother’s, Diana with two True Laws compared to Bellessia’s three, with Isaiah’s four Laws all almost at that stage. Diana’s energy was more than a match for her mother’s due to her extremely powerful 72 Truename Spirits Yin Yang Co...

Primordius

Primordius felt as his connection to the Primordial Thunder Universe began to weaken, and it wasn’t difficult to figure out why.

Like Primordius himself, his grandson had the Supreme God uniqueness, giving the boy extreme control over natural energy, while also empowering his stats by a factor of twelve when within his own Territory. And he had Primordius’s same class boosts to controlling natural energy as well, even while only a mortal, with several racial ability...

Chapter 365: King of Demons

Arthur

Arthur really hated Elandra. In fact, in his 72 trillion years of life, there probably wasn’t anyone he’d ever hated more.

Sadly, however, there wasn’t much he could do about her.

Born in one of the demon universes, he’d risen to power on the basis of his Law of Devour. But, more important, he’d risen to power through the use of his mind.

Back when he’d been a mortal, he’d always been part of a group, always hiding behind the large shadow of a seem...

Mila

As he could sense her and would immediately attack, watching Primordius was pretty much impossible—while the other elder gods of the Prime Material were nowhere to be found—but the senses of the undead elder gods weren’t as refined. So, for thousands of years, Mila kept a half dozen doppelgängers always watching them from several galaxy clusters away.

She wouldn’t usually focus on what they were doing, instead sending what she was seeing back to a team of dedicated a...
