I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 792
Advertisement
After torturing Whitebeard's sanity with the statement from the movie 'The Princess Bride', Landon let the poor man's nerves rest.
Truthfully, he just wanted to use one of his best movie lines of all time.
It had almost felt so cool to him when he was back on earth.
[My name is Inigo Montoya.
You killed my father, prepare to die.]
He would be a fool if he never tried it out once, right?
Landon quickly captured Whitebeard and tied him up real tight before letting him hop down towards the deck.
This was the prison's newest member, so why should he kill him?
After all, he was a man of his word too.
As for the pirate organization, he would deal with that whenever he decided to head towards the continent of Morgany, since their base was there.
But for the islands that they had taken over, he wouldn't allow them to keep these islands if they followed the law.
Just like the Caribbean islands and other islands back on earth, he didn't see anything wrong with them settling there and creating their own empires too.
But the problem with pirates was that they were more lawless and evil than even the nobles.
They had kidnapped, killed and raped many travellers.
And, they also took in rogue assignments from nobles too.
.
These pirates attributed to why many innocent people have gone missing on the seas... Aside from the storms and sea creatures.
They kidnapped people from various empires and sent them to the islands.
Some islands were used to train men who would row the ships, while others were used as an auction place where pirate Captains could buy more slaves and turn them into crew members.
With time, these slaves would get twisted and also enjoy the lawless pirate life.

That said, some territories within the islands were also awarded to the top pirates in the organization.
That is, some pirates own land or territories on the islands.
And at times, many pirate leaders can one properly within the same island.
As for their base in the Morgany Continent, it was there mostly for political reasons, as well as to get a good stronghold.
Many nobles gave water-based assignments to these pirates.
If they had information that their nemesis was going to set sail, they would send these pirates to deal with the person on the water.
Even merchants did so when they knew that their competitors brought in new goods.
This pirate organization was indeed a force to be reckoned with.
But so what?
He was still going to take Whitebeard in, even if his brother was the organization leader.
.
Landon tied up his hands and feet, letting him hop around like a bunny.
Whitebeard was so mad that he almost passed out.
When had he ever been treated like this?
How could a dignified pirate like himself be made to move in this way?
If his enemies saw him, wouldn't his prestige as a fierce pirate fall?
Whitebeard grumpily hopped his way to the deck.
But all his complaints were stuck in his throat the moment he saw the deck that was filled with countless dead people.
He did this?
Whitebeard felt like it was too inconceivable!
Looking around, he also saw a few others that were tied up as well
But they appeared to be injured?
He had previously held a small glimpse of hope in his heart that his men would be able to push through this dilemma.
But now, he truly realized how useless they were.
Waste!
What was the point of spending money on them if they could be even right properly?

He sent them to the island meant for teaching the pirate's sword fighting.
But after years of classes and years of putting their skills to the test, they still couldn't even beat one man?
Wasn't this the equivalent of saying that they were trash?
More still, they indirectly slapped his face since he was the one who took their trashy existence in.
As expected, he could only depend on his brother to save him.
.
The moment they arrived on the deck, Lucia, her brothers and their men also finished up their battle victoriously.
They hurriedly made their way towards the ship that had their saviour.
"Saviour!
Saviour!
Are you alright?"
"Do you need something to eat?"
"Ate you injured?"
Everyone was fussing about his safety while staring at his black mask curiously.
Lucia bit her lips nervously and stepped forward.
"Erm... Saviour, may we see your face?
We mean no disrespect saviour."
Landon looked at their eagerness and sighed before taking off his black ninja mask.
(O∆O)
Everyone looked anxiously.
To them, it seems like it was all in slow-motion.
And the moment Landon's face was revealed, their expressions turned explosive.
"Glory be to the Gods of our land!
It really is him!
His eyes, nose and everything else is the same."
"The heavens truly want our people to survive.
We have found our saviour!"
"Saviour!"
"Saviour!"
Landon: (-_-)
.
The people jumped and jubilated merrily.
Their excitement was so great that it could set out invisible fireworks in the air.
Some cried, others kowtowed, while some wanted to rub their hands on Landon's face to get blessings from him.
Hahahahhahahaha!
After travelling for months, losing some of their people and surviving through these uncharted waters that none of their people had ever travelled... They had ultimately succeeded.
They had escaped slavery, rape, murder, storms, and even terrible sea creatures that could swallow their ship whole.
It was truly a miracle that they could make it this far with their first voyage towards their saviour.
Tears filled their eyes as they assured their comrades who died that they had finally made it.
Landon on the other hand was getting a little worried and uncomfortable with this saviour thing.
He only saved them from these pirates, so wasn't their reaction a tad bit too much?
They were crying so much that he felt like he just saved an entire universe.
He didn't feel like what he did should amount to such worship.
Or was there something else that he was missing?
.
'System, are you really not going to explain further?'
'Host, why are you asking me?
They are right in front of you.
So leave this system alone.'
'_'
"Erm... Excuse me, but why do you all call me saviour?"
--silence--
"Ahhhh!!
The saviour can speak our language.
He is indeed our saviour!"
"When her highness Lucia said that she heard him speak Roma earlier on, I didn't fully believe it.
But listening to our saviour now has only left me in shock!"
"That's right!
Our saviour speaks Roma just like a native.
As expected of our saviour."
"The heavens knew what they were doing."
"Come guys, let's praise our saviour even more."
"Saviour!"
"Saviour!"
"Saviour!"
"Saviour!"

The Radiant War
The human world is aflame with war. Nations clash with their neighbours, while the Kelvon Empire, bulwark of the human world, stands on the brink of civil war. The plans of the enemies of mankind to destroy human civilisation, to restore their own mastery of the world, are well on the way to success. The people of Helberion have vowed to defeat those plans, though. Peace must be restored between the various peoples of mankind so that they can combine their efforts against their true enemy. Even while her country strives to avoid conquest and defeat at the hands of their traditional enemies the Carrowmen, therefore, Princess Ardria journeys to Carrow to meet with the enemy King in an almost hopeless attempt to persuade him of the truth. All her hopes rest on the assumption that he in an unwitting dupe of the true enemy, but lurking at the back of her mind is the fear that he may be all too aware of the truth, that he may have sold out humanity for the promise of personal power. If this is true, then all that awaits her at the end of her journey through fear and danger is imprisonment and the life of a hostage to be used against her father, King Leothan. The Brigadier would help her if he could, but he and Malone, his former batman, are far away, each having their own missions to try and ensure the survival of human civilisation. Having completed his latest task, the Brigadier must race to join her, to assist and protect her, but will he reach her before she arrives at the palace of the enemy King? And will the Princess still have a country to be Princess of by the time she arrives there? Because even if Helberion manages to defeat the all conquering armies of Carrow there is another, even deadlier threat waiting in the wings against which there may be no defence... This is volume three of the Ontogeny series. If you haven't read volume one, Ontogeny, and volume Two, The Electric Messiah, you should read them first.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
