《Rise of Demon King》Volume 5: Chapter 40: Ending (Part 1)
Advertisement
The Great Ones, the ethereal protectors of Kalkan Kingdom uttered in unison.
As far as species goes, Great Ones were of the same kind as the gods that are worshipped in the human world.
But there was a key difference between gods and Great Ones.
In human world, gods have taken control over everything to the point that even the fate of an individual was predefined.
Great Ones, on the other hand, had next to no involvement in what the mortals did within this world. Rather than gods obsessed with control, they were mere observers, but with a single, yet crucial role.
The role in question was the Selection of the Demon King.
A good leader can make a kingdom, but a bad one will destroy it.
Long ago, the First Demon King, Arin Draco, having reached the end of her lifespan, asked the Great Ones for a favor.
She asked them to find a worthy demon to pass on her power and to be the ones responsible for selecting the ones who will become the Next Demon Kings.
With some hesitation, feeling pity for the demon-kind, Great Ones accepted her offer, and thus, the cycle of the Demon Kings was created.
More than nine hundred years passed since then.
So far, there were fifty six Demon Kings.
Some managed to rule in peace, yet many were corrupted by the power. Overall, it was a miracle the Kalkan Kingdom was still standing in one piece.
But for the sake of survival of demon race, the one who shall lead them, the King, is necessary.
Of course, that did not mean each one of the Great Ones did not have favorite or a demon they hoped would succeed.
But since no demon was perfect, there were some cases of bitter disappointment.
Great Ones observed everything, with their boundless sight, observing the actions of leaders of demon clans, judging and evaluating each one….seeking a demon that could unite all the clans under a single banner.
The Selection was for the purpose of weeding out the ones who were unworthy, with the Trials playing an integral part of it.
But that did not mean that only Trials mattered, everything that happened in between them was keenly observed by the Great Ones.
The time had come to inform the demon-kind of the Third Trial.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.

Broad shoulders, his back muscles clearly defined and pale flawless skin. His raven hair shines and the sun casts a soft light on his body. My fingertips begin to tingle. A feeling of re-membrance settles over me. My body remembers this man. But I don't know him.Smut and boyslove. Don't like it. Don't read it.The characters belong to Cassandra Clare.
