Dragons hoard
--
Thorodan leading the group then landed first in front of me, most of the rest landed behind him while some others who didn't have any place left to land, kept circling in the air. Can you believe this.. This enormous empty field was not big enough for all of them...
{I have returned Master!!} (Thorodan)
“So i see... humm.. Thorodan...” (Michael)
{Yes master?} (Thorodan)
“HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPOSED TO FEED ALL OF THESE??????” (Michael)
To that Thorodan exploded in an unstoppable laughter.
“Glad you find that funny but that's really fucking inconvenient!” (Michael)
Of course i could send them all on rampage to the other kingdoms but there is many reason why i don't want to do that... My last conversation with Lucifer made me change my plans back then. Instead of wiping all the opposition i realized that my perfect end game needed to be massive waves of conversion... I need as many of them converting to my faith as possible...
Also the neighboring kingdoms are well aware of Thorodan's existence, and from my information, also have prepared for it by mass producing anti-dragons weapons... Sending all these dragons would only be good at wiping the small towns and villages, killing innocent farmers and the likes...
And we also need to keep in mind that these dragons can't be compared to Thorodan... They are 7 time smaller than him and a lot weaker... I still remember how the dragon hunters i met back then were fully organized and capable of bringing down dragons easily.
Of course that is only with normal dragons, Thorodan would not have fallen from that. Basically, sending these dragons to blindly attack the other kingdoms would get them slaughtered pointlessly creating another major problem in the process..
The other kingdoms know about Thorodan, so they would immediately know the attack came from me since i am the only one to ever 'domesticate' a dragon... War would automatically follow. If all the kingdoms join hands together to bring us down we could be in deep shit quite rapidly. We are now living peaceful days because we still haven't made a move yet.

My actual plans is quite a brilliant one, but all these dragons could jeopardize it all. My goal is to have the perfect kingdom, prosperity, technology, no poverty, no discrimination, no slavery... Creating a paradise everyone would wish to join.
Then in the meantime, secretly creating mayhem and anarchy through the other kingdoms, destabilizing them. The expected effect of this would be massive rebellions, civil wars, and emigration waves. Then instead of coming as invaders, i would be welcomed as liberator of the people ! Making their conversion to my faith extremely easy.
All these dragons is messing up my plans quite a bit.. How does one feed 3,500 dragons as big as elephants??? That a lot of meat i'm telling you.... Thorodan already have a group of 10 hunters hunting his meals full time. As i was starting to panic Thorodan intervened while still laughing.
{Master... When it come to dragons, you need not worry about our numbers..} (Thorodan)
“???? Da hell do you mean?” (Michael)
{Dragons are considered very rare... Yet here i am with over 3,500 of them... Aren't you curious about this fact?} (Thorodan)
“Now that you mention it... It is strange... I thought you would bring a few hundred of them max... But that doesn't change the fact that we need to feed them no?” (Michael)
{Actually it does... Dragons often spend more time hibernating that doing anything else... 90% of these were in the middle of their hibernation period, which is why their existence was unknown to humans.} (Thorodan)
“Hoooo!!! You mean i can just tell them to go to sleep?” (Michael)
{Aye! Master... When hibernating, dragons don't need to eat, they survive on residual mana in the surrounding environment. They just need holes to crawl into.} (Thorodan)
“Haaaa my dear Thorodan! I love you! You're the best!” (Michael)
{Rharharharharha*!} (Thorodan) Thorodan laughed while showing a proud attitude.
“MEN!” (Michael) I said turning around to address my personal guards who until then were looking agape at the sight, unsure whether to be scared or happy.

“HOOOOOOOO DAAAAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOO!” (Private Guards)
“Recruit everyone with ability to dig !! From today onward New Heaven will have an underground city for dragons and those who prefer to live underground.” (Michael) I said keeping in mind dwarfs and other nocturnal creatures who recently started arriving in my city.
“UUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!” (Private Guards) They then started running in all directions.
“Thorodan! I want you to select 500 of them who don't mind being ridden by soldiers. I want to start developing my air force now!” (Michael)
{It shall be done, Master.} (Thorodan)
'Guhuhuhu brilliant! With over 3000 dragons hibernating under my city... If someone is stupid enough to attack us, we can simply release them on the attackers... It would be a quick ending to their invasion.' (Michael) I am now quite pleased with the unexpected surprise brought by Thorodan.
But 500 actives dragons... That's still a lot to feed... We need tons of meat... Then i remembered something. Back then when experimenting on my 'growth' affinity i had used it on an egg, it hatched, then grew to an adult quite rapidly.
So i could most likely accelerate the growth of our livestock boosting our meat production. But me having to keep using my abilities for that reason will become inconvenient. So i need to fill as many mana stones with 'growth' as possible.
That bring another problem, mana stones... We burned troughs all those we had really rapidly. My giant magic circle for the city defense costed me quite a fair bit of them. I quickly need to send men to prospect on my lands and hopefully find a mana stone deposit where we could build a mine on top of.
'Sighhh so much to do!!!!!' (Michael) I thought as i started to walk toward the throne room wanting to complete the project: 'Field of purity'.
{Master...} (Thorodan)
“Hmm? Something else?” (Michael)
{Rharharharharha* Where is the biggest empty room in the city?} (Thorodan) He said with a smile full of teeth on his face.
“Humm... Follow me.” (Michael) I answered now very curious about what he wanted to show me.
We arrived at one of our giant underground storage room which was still empty at the moment. I turned to look at Thorodan.
“Big enough?” (Michael) I hoped as this hangar was as big as a football field.
{Hhummm This will be just enough i believe.} (Thorodan)
He then started expanding his mana all over the empty space. If took him a few seconds since the space was so big but once it was done i could feel him use his 'dimensional room' affinity on all his mana filling the giant hangar.
What he was doing is materializing something really big from his dimensional room... Something he was very happy to show me. Then slowly the mana started to materialize into something else. Something yellow... Something shiny...
The giant hangar was now filled to the brim with... GOLD! At this point i could not close my mouth anymore... I had just became the riches man in recorded history.
{That's a lot of shiny stuff !!! Hihihihihi} (Cellphone)
“[...] It... it ..It sure is, Cellphone....” (Michael)
{RHARHARHARHARHA!!!!!} (Thorodan)

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]
