《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey
Advertisement
After "The League of Hell" had officially been created, Azaroth ordered a lot of food. He was in the mood to have a feast.
While they were eating, Yrellea's vision moved to the women on the table ahead of them. Five women were seated at that table. All of them were quite beautiful in their own regard.
And they were all sneaking glanced in their direction. It didn't take her long to realize that these women were glancing in Azaroth's direction.
She glared at them and but noticed that the women were still staring in their direction. She spoke with an irritated tone, "Master, we should change our location. Preferably a closed place. We are gathering a lot of attention right now."
Yrellea didn't mention these women at all. She didn't want to say that she was observing these women and was getting slightly annoyed.
Azaroth shrugged in response and spoke, "If you suggested this 10 minutes ago, I would have agreed. Now, the food has arrived and I am in no mood to move."
Soon enough, all the people in their group began to eat their food.
Just as Yrellea had noticed, there were many women in the pub. They numbered as much as men and most of these women were glancing in Azaroth's direction. The majority of these women were young ladies who had come to drink away their sorrows.
Azaroth's face value was quite high and he knew that such a thing was quite natural. So he was just planning to get used to such attention. It shouldn't harm him all that much.
The pub's doors burst open while they were still enjoying their meal.
Azaroth glanced at the person through the corner of his eyes.
It was a group of 3 people.
The one in the center was a youth who looked as if he had just turned 18-years-old. There was an arrogant expression on his face as he walked inside. The other two looked older than him by nearly 3-4 years.

They appeared to be sucking up to the young man based on how they walked around him.
"If not for junior brother's help, we definitely wouldn't have accomplished the sect's mission of returning with the corpse of a Savage Flame Boar. Junior brother, your sword skills and control over the Earth Element have improved greatly. You probably don't have any opponent within the 3 Star Rank. Only a 4 Star Warrior can defeat you."
"I remember young master blocking 3 attacks from senior brother. Young Master's potential is immense."
The two subordinates of this young man were speaking in a loud voice.
Nearly the entire bar seemed to understand that this young boy ahead of them had killed a Savage Flame Boar.
Killing a Savage Flame Boar was an impressive feat. Its Flame Charge attack as well as its Flame Breath attacks were incredibly hard to deal with. Its skin was quite thick and a typical 3 Star Warrior would never be able to defeat it.
If this youth had actually killed a Savage Flame Boar alone then he was truly very impressive.
The youth seemed to have an indifferent expression as he walked inside. He seemed to pay no heed to the gazes thrown at him.
However, Azaroth just shook his head in disappointment. He didn't even need to use his Mystic Eyes of Perception to know that this guy was trying to hold back his delighted look.
This guy was pretending to be an expert. And the two guys next to him were just sucking up to him as best as they could.
They had intentionally talked about their mission right after they entered the pub. Moreover, that too in a loud voice.
A true expert wouldn't need to stage such a scene. Azaroth focused on eating his food.
The young expert swept his glance inside the pub and smiled inside as he saw the startled looks of the people. Nearly all the eyes in the pub were focused on him.

He liked this feeling quite a bit. It further fed his pride.
Soon, he laid his eyes on Azaroth's table. His pupils widened slightly as he saw none of them paying any attention to him.
He focused on Azaroth and saw his handsome appearance. Unknowingly, he began to compare his looks with Azaroth's appearance and his face darkened as he realized that he didn't stand a chance.
He also noticed a few beautiful women seated at that table. Each one appeared to be a heavenly beauty, even superior to the beauties he saw in his sect.
He was irritated by Azaroth's attractiveness. And the fact that he was conversing with such beautiful women did nothing but aggravate him further.
His two senior brothers noticed their junior brother's gaze. They immediately understood the situation.
One of the two senior brothers looked at the manager of this pub and asked him with a low voice, "Who are these people seated on that table?" He then signaled towards Azaroth's table.
The manager whispered back, "Their identity is unknown, young master. They have entered our pub for the first time. The dishes they ordered are all quite exquisite. They must be quite rich."
The two senior brothers sneered in return. They didn't lack wealth as well. They understood that they couldn't count on this manager for details regarding the background of these people.
They decided to observe him and tried to figure out what their background could be. The clothes worn by Azaroth's group were extremely normal.
These weren't the kinds of clothes cultivators wore in the Glerian Kingdom. Unlike the Sinyalian Kingdom, many conflicts occurred in the Glerian Kingdom daily. All the cultivators had gotten used to wearing their spiritual clothes casually.
Naturally, the clothes were provided by the sects. The clothes these two seniors wore were extremely low-class spiritual clothes. And the youth in their group was the one wearing a red-colored robe. This robe could block an attack from even a 4 Star Expert."
Next, the two seniors checked for the cultivation of Azaroth's group.
Since Azaroth didn't want to grab any unnecessary attention, he had sealed everyone's cultivation at the 2 Star Rank. If they really required it, they could break his seal at any moment.
Thus, these two seniors sensed that Azaroth's cultivation was merely at the 2 Star Rank and was quite relieved. The only thing that worried them was that the young child in their group was also a 2 Star Warrior. They were naturally talking about Noah. But they soon ignored him.
They could deal with such a talent later. Currently, this boy wouldn't pose a threat to them.
"Give us a table behind that one." They pointed towards Azaroth's table.
Soon, the three of them occupied another table and began eating their food and drank some wine.
The young genius and his senior brothers looked around. They noticed not a single woman was looking in their direction anymore. Their vision seemed to be fixated towards Azaroth's table.
Even the men who were flatteringly looking at the young prodigy were now stealing glances at the women at Azaroth's table.
The fact that Azaroth took away all his popularity just because he was slightly more handsome enraged him greatly.
He glanced at his senior brothers and spoke with an authoritative voice, "Think of an idea for me to deal with that guy."
The two senior brothers were already thinking about it. One of them showed a clever smile as he spoke, "I do have a plan, Junior Brother. We just need to wait for some time."

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
