《A Modern Day Demon King》* Chapter 32 – The Office Ⅲ
Advertisement
At another restaurant, a party of four’s food finally arrives at the table as Reyn the gang began to eat. Halfway through the meal Zhào asks with a mouth full of food. “So, how’s the kitten you picked up doing?” Zhào mumbled.
Reyn smiles as she grabs her phone and shows them pictures of a black silky long furred cat with big blue eyes. “He’s doing quite well,” Reyn answered as she showed them various pictures of her pet cat.
Yáng smiles and says, “Have you gotten him vaccinated and natured yet?”
“That’s terribly cruel,” Zhào mumbled with a mouth full of food as winced privately at the thought of suddenly becoming a eunuch.
“Don’t listen to Zhào, Reyn. It really is important that you properly vaccinate your pet lest he catch some disease, but more importantly neuter him lest he increase the feral cat population. It is the only responsible thing to do as a pet owner,” Huáng firmly commented.
“That’s certainly. True, I can recommend a friendly veterinarian who happens to be a friend of mine,” Yáng happily interjected.
Zhào hastily wallows his food and says, “I didn’t mean it like that. I just meant it would be terribly cruel to suddenly find yourself a eunuch.”
“Now-a-days, the veterinarians don’t really cut their manhood’s off unless something goes wrong during surgery. Vets now, usually just sip the manhood like a vasectomy for any man. Technically, afterwards the cat can still get the job with the added perk that he won’t increase the feral cat population,” Huáng pointedly stated.
Reyn flashes a slightly evilly smile as she muses out loud, “Yes, that is a good idea to take my pet to the vet to have him properly taken care of and see that he is up to date on his shots.” Elsewhere, the shadow clone of Ye Ming and Ye Ming himself shiver as though someone was walking on their graves.

Zhào sighs mournfully to himself and says, “Poor bud,” before going back to eating.
“I sent you his contact information to your phone,” Yáng kindly said as Reyn’s phone slightly vibrates at receiving the message.
“Thank you, I’ll make sure to set up an appointment,” Reyn said with a chilling gleam in her eyes as she chuckles privately to herself causing thousands of shivers to creep up and down the backs of Ye Ming and his shadow clone.
The three men glance at each other as Zhào wipes his mouth clean and changes the subject. “So, anyone see the game on last night?” Zhào commented.
The subject is quickly changed as they begin to talk about the game that was on last night. Reyn quietly listens as she resumes eating and only interjects a comment every now and then. Soon enough their time is up, and they walk back to the office, content and full. However, there is a slight smirk of triumph on Reyn’s face the entire way back after reading a text message with a video. It was as if she knew something rather funny that they didn’t know about. But what could it possibly be?

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

My Girlfriend, the Necromancer
The power of the Orb cleaves the skies and shatters the earth. It heralds the advent of a new era, one where humanity is no longer at the top of the food chain and we must rise to the challenge when faced with our own extinction as a species. I could hardly care less. All I ever wanted was to love my Allie, to grow old and wrinkly by her side as I held her hand before taking my last breath on this green earth. To have our love echo through the ages, an ode to the last great love story on the planet, one that would endure the end of humanity, the breaking of the world, and even defy the dread summons of Death itself. It’s said that when the gods unleash their fury upon mortal kind, they grant their wishes. Well, crap. This is a gritty end of the world survival story with modern fantasy/romance/game-like elements in it. The main focus will be character development while stats and menus are there as a fun vehicle to empower the imagination. This is a work in progress and I deeply appreciate any helpful suggestions, so please don't be shy with input! Currently posting at least one chapter per week.
