What should be the next step of our Dark Lord?

Dark Lord in Chains 91

I spend a moment watching Cinder, her breaths pushing her chest out as the room continued to burn around her. It would have been the picture of a disaster if it was anyone else in her place. 

But for Cinder, flames danced around her, caressing her skin gently as if they were singing her a lullaby. 

And with her heritage, it might as well be the case. As the weird transformation spread along my body, I started to feel that the phoenixes connected with the concept of fire ...

“It’s fun to swim, right,” I said as I looked at the beautiful exotic beauty that was doing her best to stay wrapped around me — her arms wrapped around my neck, her legs around my waist — as we dragged by the raging waters of the river. 

“Are you sure we still can’t use any magic,” she shouted as I easily changed direction to prevent a painful collision, even swimming actively to go even faster. 

“Not if you don’t want to get caught by your boss afte...

I was planning to drive alone, but as I walked, I noticed a pair of cheerleaders walking toward me, the sway of their hips — excessive and exaggerated — which, combined with their clothing choice — one wearing a skirt, the other wearing shorts, each small enough to be used as belts in an emergency — left no doubt about their intention. 

Maybe Thad’s warning about cheerleaders being in a hunting mood was less of an exaggeration, and more of a warning. 

Yet, befo...

It was an amazing feeling to walk on the field under the cheers of the crowd, and it would have been so even if every moment of their cries didn’t mean more Intent for me. 

Of course, the Traits that were related to their current mood and perception had long been completed, but that didn’t mean the Intent I was gathering was useless. First, a considerable portion of it was being absorbed by my guide, who was still the only source of information I had — however flighty and unr...

After that spectacular meeting, I had expected the rest of my school day to go without an event of significance. 

That proved to be wrong. 

The realization hit me in the form of a pair of hands suddenly grabbing my arm and pulling me inside. The pull wasn’t strong enough to pull me in if I resisted, but the hand that grabbed me was feminine, with a certain milky chocolate complexion that was very familiar. 

“Hey, Naomi,” I chuckled even as I looked aroun...

I didn’t push the headmistress about the subject immediately, letting her handle the intense emotional rush it triggered for a long while before she started to answer. 

“Gods are … different,” she murmured. “I don’t know much about them much other than they are intensely linked to the Divine Spark. Some believe that they came from Divine Spark and conjure an existence later on,” she said. 

“Like their avatars, only on a larger scale,” I suggested. ...

A Gamer Adventure 213

I didn’t need to think for a long time about my next destination after I left the royal quarters, and turned toward the center of Silver Spires. 

The target of my hurried steps was the office of the headmistress, who had been waiting for me for a long while. 

However, my hurry had little to do with the patience she might have been feeling, despite the position she held or the magical power she commanded. 

On the contrary, regardless of those factors, I had b...

With the Cinder finally conquered, what should be the next step? 

Dark Lord in Chains 90

I spent some time, trying to decide on the most urgent direction to question her. Unfortunately, after her latest explosive statement, I had many directions to choose from: her transformation, the phoenixes and their strategic priorities, the objectives of the elven side, and the existence of the other dimension. 

Whether she had any idea what this mysterious Threat was — albeit the naming sense gave me the impression that she didn’t… 

Facing questions spreading to...

Dragon's Tale - Interlude 2

City Center, Rome, Italy

A man in his seventies, wearing the ceremonial toga that distinguished him from the masses that filled the streets, as a member of the Roman Senate, walked through the crowded streets of Pomerium, the holy center of the Roman Republic, the strongest bastion of Imperium. 

As an honored ex-Preator — one that didn’t carry the title ex-Consul only because he didn’t want to deal with the attention it would have brought to his plans, the kind that had...

Divine Celebrity 57

As the clock hit zero and we walked back to the locker room, a weird atmosphere filled the room, so much had an observer wouldn’t ever believe we were ahead. Offensive players were looking at us angrily like we had burned all of their houses and banged their wives on the smoldering remains. 

Our score came thanks to a last-second touchdown by one of our receivers slipping away, though that had been only possible because the opponent's defense replicated our earlier trick, unlike ...

A Gamer Adventure 212

“So, tell me, why do you think I’m here, wasting my time with you?” I said, letting amusement infect my tone as I did so, leaning against my chair even more to enjoy my comfort. 

It was a subtle and efficient power move even under the conditions where I didn’t have a barely dressed princess in front of me, leaning back on the giant pillow. 

As I looked at her beautiful visage, I knew that defining the moment as disappointing was certainly unfair — even though t...

A Gamer Adventure 211

The silence stretched once more after my answer. 

I let it linger, giving her the time to process that there was more than one mysterious organization that was interfering with the workings of her little Empire without showing the slightest respect to its supposedly-exalted nature. 

“So, which organization do you belong to if not with them,” the princess said, doing her best not to give any information, but the great difference in our current skill configuration work...

I found Nancy in the bed, still naked, the cover pulled haphazardly to the half of her chest, barely hiding her perfect breasts. Her skin shone on the crisp covers, while her beautiful red hair sprawled over the bed, giving a much-needed contrast to make it a striking view. 

If it wasn’t for the great shock in her beautiful green eyes while she furiously browsed her phone, I would have assumed it to be an intentional pose, tempting me for some early morning fun. 

Albei...

With the conquest complete, what should be the next aspect of focus? 

Dark Lord in Chains 89

Maybe multitasking was the superior option, I thought after a momentary thought even as I tightened my arms around her waist, preventing a painful collapse without the support of the wall after I took a step back. 

It proved to be a good choice. As I moved, her body lost all strength, and would have fallen down without my assistance keeping her up. 

As I walked toward the center of the room, she started showing signs of recovery. The biggest sign was the intensity of her...

Even in victory, returning to the bench wasn’t a pleasant feeling after three attempts were not pleasant, stopping just as our blood started to boil. 

Yet, with the incredible flood of Intent I was receiving, I couldn’t say that I was too unhappy. Especially the last move, sending the opposing running back away, tumbling. I closed my eyes, enjoying the sensation of channeling the intent. 

Though, not as much as the writing that appeared in front of me as I enjoyed th...

As I stood in the center of our defensive formation, watching carefully as the opposing team fell into a simple pistol formation, I couldn’t help but smile, excitement pumping through my veins. 

Pistol formation was certainly not a simple one, and hardly one I would expect them to use the first. 

It was a double-run threat, designed to allow the quarterback to decide whether he wanted to run, or wanted to hand it off to his running back, making it a dangerous weapon wh...

Dragon's Tale 96

As I managed to reach the agreed meeting location, a certain small blind alley between a butcher and a large residence, just with enough foot traffic not to make her presence entirely shocking. 

However, it seemed that our little trick didn’t work, as rather than finding her in place, I found the corner empty, but with recent signs of battle. 

She either got caught while waiting, showing our little subterfuge was not enough. 

That, or she had been caught whi...

Some decisions were difficult, requiring hours of deliberate consideration, measuring every single advantage and disadvantage to give a nuanced and careful decision. 

Some were not. 

Luckily for me, watching a beautiful yet exhausted princess saunter toward the nearest pillow in a room blanketed by her own mana, enough to blind her to any kind of spell, firmly belonged to the letter category. 

Especially since she sat down on the same pillow that I had been oc...

A Gamer Adventure 209

I didn’t leave them alone for long, of course. The moment I was out of the guards of the royal residence, I cast a spell to erase my presence and returned. 

The only reason I went through that in the first place was the number of maids walking in the corridors, and I didn’t want them panicking about my sudden disappearance. 

And, as I walked around the building and reached one of the less-defended spots — which was made easy thanks to several days of recon— I won...

It was finally Monday, lunch break, and after a long morning filled with classes, I finally picked my tray — though the cafeteria food barely had enough calories to qualify as a snack. 

I was certainly glad that I had sneaked a couple of protein bars in my bag. 

Though, as I moved, I couldn’t help but be amused by the lack of attention from the crowd. It wasn’t the first time, but still, the sensation of being ignored was … different. As the quarterback in my las...

The weird transformation that enhanced his powers and changed hers is complete. What should be the next step?

Dark Lord in Chains 88

I resisted the call of a climax while Cinder was busy handling her latest one, using the precious few seconds I earned to think freely while.

It was the best way to use the opportunity created by the invasion of pleasure. 

The first target of my attention was, naturally, the nature of the chaotic transformation my magic was going through at the moment, triggered by her even more intense one. 

A process as mysterious as it was intense.  

I closed my eyes,...

Dragon's Tale 95

I grabbed the mane of the lion tighter with my left hand, the other firmly wrapped around the heft of my spear, ready to counter any attacker. 

Not that I expected that to be the immediate response. 

The image of a man riding a Nemean lion, carrying a bloodied spear, was a scary and impressive sight under any circumstances, the kind that made the guards on the walls of the Dacian School think that it was for the best to leave the glorious experience of volunteering to th...

After the unusual study session with my new training tutor, the rest of my week passed in a weird routine. 

The routine didn’t mean easy, as almost every single hour was filled with back-breaking effort.  

Every morning, I woke up at five to meet with Coach Juana for special training. Those sessions were intensive as we worked on the same drills again and again, and she focused on fixing my technical deficiencies. Five was already early enough to make even the simplest...
