Looks like my stats increased even more than before, but I doubt that that is important.
To my surprise, the Demon King's body disintegrated into nothingness. I put away the Scythe before Morgan spoke.
"That happens to all Demon Kings. Their power is in their bodies, so when they die their power is given to the next recipient. They should get their power within the day." she said as she walked over to me and leaned on my arm a bit. I was taller than her by a decent amount so it was cute.
"The bastard had it coming to him. He should have looked at the horns on my head. They were practically screaming superiority."
I said with rolling eyes. Morgan beside me laughed a bit before getting off me and walking towards the door. She looked back at me and motioned her hands for me to follow.
"It's about time we leave." (Morgan)
"Yeah, there isn't much left for us to do.."
As we said that, we opened the doors and heard scared screams from the outside. I smelled something disgusting and just as Morgan was about to walk out, I grabbed her should and prevented her from moving forward.
What greeted us was a bunch of scared shitless soldiers.
Literally. There was shit everywhere. It was as funny as it was disgusting. Morgan's face turned green with disgust as I was trying not to laugh my ass off at our failed cool looking exit.
I took the initiative and hopped over everyone, sending them all into a panic. They fled and a few of them slipped on the waste they left behind, which made me almost fall over. Even with over 6k strength it was hard to remain standing while laughing you ass off.
They had nowhere to go since we were blocking their paths, so I told Morgan to come here.

"Hop on over here Morgan. They don't want to pass us."
She only nodded and hopped over. We then walked out of the castle after passing the hallways and paths we used to get to the throne room.
When we exited, there was a bunch of people crowding the entrance. I was confused until Morgan spoke up.
"The demons can sense when their leader dies."
I looked at the huge crowd of people, and they seemed to be scared. I heard some murmuring in the crowd. Most about me having 5 horns, but my red marking were also mentioned.
I took a step forwards and they took a step backwards. I continued to walk normally and Morgan followed me and a pathway was made for us to leave. We made it through the huge crowd of what seemed like the entire city and I looked back at the castle.
"We'll set up camp at a nearby town or city. We'll wait a few days then come back to meet the new Demon King."
Morgan agreed with my point, but..
"Certainly, that makes sen-...."
She went quiet. I began to smirk at her, and she sweated in response. She knew what this would mean, and she wanted to run away. Even if she ran though, she wouldn't make it far. I am much faster than her.
She looked down at the floor and my smirk became larger.
"Ohhhh Mooorrrgaaannnn~"
She became motionless and froze up in fear. I had to hold back my laughter at this sight.
"You knowww~ I think we should get a head start on the day. We wouldn't want to waste time when we could relax the rest of the day."
I was now smiling menacingly with my fangs showing. In response to my teasing, she turned around and began walking away. I simply followed. She sped up a bit, and I followed suit. She then sprinted full force, and I laughed before going so fast I basically teleported to her, catching her.
"NOOOOOO" (Morgan)
She tried to struggle, and I replied with laughing and detainment. I then blasted off in the direction of the city with her screaming. I came across a random pedestrian who fell down in fear.
"Hello sir, do you know where the nearest town is?"
"Nonoonnonnnonnnonooonononononno" (Morgan)
After taking a few seconds to understand the situation, he replied. "There is a town called Gohrgen just southwest of here. It's rather nice. It has inns and an Adventure Guild."
I was please with his answer.
"Thank you. Have a nice day."
After saying that, morgan yelled even louder as she felt me tense up a bit then we rocketed off faster than sound towards the southwest. Just like before, she dipped in and out of consciousness and I couldn't help but laugh at her. She was definitely going to be pissed at me, but it was funny so I didn't care.
----------
After jumping and jumping, blasting off every time I hit the ground we neared the town of Gohrgen. Morgan seemed to get used to the speed a bit as she passed out less than before. when she saw the town, he eyes lit up. Within a few seconds we arrived at the town.

I didn't know where to land, so I landed in the forest a decent distance away from the town gates.
Morgan slipped out of my arms and landed on the floor, hugging it. She sure is glad to be on the ground.
With tears in her eyes she yelled at me.
"How could you, you bastard!"
While laughing a bit, I replied: "Because it was funny"
With puffed cheeks, she got up and walked towards the town gates. She didn't run. She would honestly probably puke if she ran. A dragon that is afraid of heights, huh? Hehe..
I caught up with her and we walked. I was a few feet behind her, as she was still mad at me. She would get over it soon. I just wonder how she'll handle it when we have to go back.
Note: Keep in mind this is a Demon town. With demon guards, and demon residents.
I landed pretty close to the wall, so we didn't have to go too far. After like 5 minutes of walking in silence we reached the gates. One of the guards saw us, at the watch tower and turned around, shouting something.
The gates opened and a guard came out. He looked at us, and before even speaking he ran back inside. I tuned in to hear what they were saying thanks to my Hearing Passive, and I was able to hear two voices.
"Captain! Captain!"
"What's wrong? Is it a human invasion?!"
"No, there is a dragon-kin here with a demon that has five horns!"
"What? Let me see..."
After that, it was footsteps that were running to the gates.
"They are coming and bringing the Captain. It's about you being a dragon-kin and me having 5 horns."
I said that as I realized that my tail way swaying behind me. He didn't see my tail because of my positioning, but if I left it out they would find it. So, I wrapped it around my waist like a certain prince with a scouter after his planet was blown up.
Right after doing that, the Captain and 3 others ran out. After huffing a bit and with a shocked face, the Captain spoke up.
"Ah.. We welcome you both, please follow us so we can answer any questions you have."
I nodded while Morgan just eyed the Captain, looking for any hint of hostility.
We walked with the Captain through the gates and into the town. It was quite lively, and from before I landed I looked at it. The town was pretty big. As me and Morgan looked around, it was almost comparable to Tandspes, the capital.
We followed him as he made a sharp right towards a section that was probably his office. He told us to sit down politely and he took a seat himself at his desk.
"So, What would a dragon-kin and a... demon, be doing together and coming to Gorghen?" (Captain)
There was a brief pause before Morgan answered.
"Me and my master Lor-" (Morgan)
I hit her in the head lightly, but enough to stop her talking and cause her to rub her head. The captain raised his right eyebrow towards my action and her words, but kept quiet.
"Me and ..Lorne came to visit Gorghen after doing business in the capital. We have to wait a while before what we need is ready so we came here to relax." (Morgan)
"But the capital is a few days away. Why didn't you just stay there at an inn? (Captain)
Before Morgan could speak, I spoke up.
"We both want to register at the guild. Our friend who is a blacksmith told us to come here while he was finishing our weapons since there was an Adventurers guild here."
The captain's eyebrows raised in understanding, and he shook his head to himself before speaking with a smile.
"I see I see.. Well, Mr. Lorne, you should take those fake horns off or you'll attract attention." (Captain)
sigh
"These aren't fake."
"Eh?" (Captain)
"They are real. See?"
I said as I began tugging on them. He was surprised and barely kept his composure.
"Ahhh....." (Captain)
God dammit I broke him.
Morgan was quietly laughing next to me. Great.
"So, Captain, we should be on our way. We'd rather not take up all of your time."
I got up and Morgan did as well. The Captain just replied with noises that sounded like an 'Alright' and we left. I smiled a bit, and we left the barracks and headed to the store district.

Regarding The Life of A Certain Fallen Noble
.. ...Every paths leads to the same destination... Five Saints, five Kings, seven Sins. One entire plane in agony. ..Chaos must reign... In days long past, several Mage Kings cut a path of destruction everywhere they went. Cruel experimentation, the creation of monstrous creatures, the tearing apart of families and mass genocide...There were few crimes the mad Mage Kings didn't commit. As the Five Saints were summoned in desperation by the races of the world, everything was already at it's darkest hour. When the fighting was over, when the Mage Kings were gone and the Five Saints had returned to their planet of origin, a World Council was erected to keep the the delicate balance from falling apart. Many eras pass. Lyle Greyborne. Current heir to the powerful Greyborne family, the only son of Adarian and Alyssa Greyborne. With the maroon hair of his Greyborne ancestory and the exceedingly rare golden eyes of his mother's Bathory clan, Lyle's talents can only be described as terrifying. These, along with his personal status, make him desired by many. After a young Lyle begins a relationship with one Sophia Alderton, two years pass by. Then a lack of trust coupled with a certain misunderstanding leave the two estranged and left on a sour note. But Lyle even still retains his friendship with Cecelia, Sophia's sister. With Cecelia, his loving sister Iris and Melanie--A young woman who recieved his aid some time ago--Lyle is content to pass the days in peace and idleness. Well, when he's not completing harsh missions from his combat instructor, that is. But this peace is ruined when Lyle's father tells of a mysterious group hell-bent on causing war between the human and demon continents. Later, when his father involves him and his sister in an incident resulting in Iris being put in mortal danger, Lyle makes a decision which could very well cost him not his life... but instead his soul. His status, his loved ones, his dignity as a human being... All these may soon be lost. His life isn't his own. Not anymore. He can only brace himself for the things to come and hope he makes it out with his sanity intact. ******************* EDIT- Author Note: Another thing, the cover photo is not mine. Obviously. It's just a picture I found one day at DeviantArt and thought that the two shown in the picture looked like how I imagined Lyle and another character to be. Simply put, it was convenient in various way and I also loved the art. From my understanding is is from a collaboration between artists Chocobikies and Pinlin. Here is a link to where I found the original http://pinlin.deviantart.com/art/Linked-456655669

Divine Progress
Progress is a dubious god. After failing him, three people are banished from modern times and sent to another world. Seemingly out of place, Christoph is snatched from his own time and plunged into a world of violence and magic with no deity to lend him support. Instead, Progress has seen fit to curse him with an eternal hunger for magical energy. Branded as a demon, he must fight for survival while battling the servants of the god who sent him there, struggling against the 'gift' that Progress bestowed upon him and the past he sought to abandon. Can he make his way across the lands and gather enough strength to survive without the blessings of the Divine? Or will the gods bend him to their will, breaking him if he seeks to resist? This is not a short story, and the plot will take many twists and turns before Christoph's journey comes to a close. After all, it is not the destination, but the Progress that matters in the end. Like many other stories on RoyalRoad, this is my first piece. Feedback is more than welcome, so please leave a reply if you have a comment or question.
