If you guys may share some your thoughts on characters or side stories, I would love to hear them out!
************************
Chapter 40 –Desperate.
I had a wide grin on my face. Transformed back to normal human form.
[Bartholomew]: You almost got me! Duchess von Raden, you are lucky to have warrior of this caliber and a dragon by your side.
[Luna]: Thank you my king.
[Bartholomew]: We will solve the monster problem for once and all. All kingdoms are preparing for a war, but this time we will be the ones attacking. In future, I’ll call upon you to aid me in the conquest of Cursed Lands. Until then you are free to rule over Wallington domain.
Bartholomew Beaumont announced the war preparation plan and conquest of cursed lands to all of his subjects.
[Luna]: My king, I wish ask you for a favor!
[Bartholomew]: It hasn’t been ten minutes and yet you need my help… (He smiled)
[Luna]: My familiar, Aslan wishes to go back to his world and as much as I have understood from his story neither Aslan nor Gorn were dead when they were transported to void. You are personally looking after the progress in Landgrave, so can you please enlighten us in matters of magic that could him being sent back to his own world.
[Bartholomew]: Why would you want to send him back?
[Luna]: I do not want to force him to stay against his will.
[Bartholomew]: You should go to Landgrave tomorrow, before departing back to Wallington house tomorrow.
[Luna]: Thank you, my king!
We rested in palace’s guestroom reserved for Luna. The next morning after the breakfast we went o Landgrave. Observatory was inside the forest. As soon as we plunged into a thick forest, which made me forget about the mere existence of civilization - it felt so untouched and primordial. We reached observatory after twenty minutes of walk. I had heard of observatories back in my world but never been to one. I wasn’t into science much. Landgrave was mostly used for scientific study of the atmosphere. They were mainly forecasting weather conditions of the continent. It was used to predict when the weather will be bad in on Cursed Lands and to calculate approximate time inhabitants of the Cursed Lands would move. What struck me was the underground base under the observatory. It seemed endless. There were lots of magicians, scientists working on different projects.

We were greeted by Lin, who was a renowned magician of the Marlings Kingdom and vice-director of the Landgrave Observatory. He showed us around to introduce Luna about the Landgrave Observatory and what it was used for. Luna explained him about the conditions of our summoning and whether I would be able to travel back to my own world. I thought they would not be able to answer but Lin didn’t even think about anything, replied back…
[Lin]: There are two possible ways for Aslan to get back to his own world, first is for him to use the portal created by Dark Magicians of the past. The second option is standing beside you. The Dark One could do it, if he wanted.
I turned to face Gorn. Our eyes met, and he turned his face towards Luna with a wide devilish grin on it.
[Me]: Where is the portal?
[Lin]: Somewhere in the Cursed Lands.
[Me]: No exact location?
[Lin]: No, it has not been used for millennia. The only clue what we have about portal is that its usage has been described in some books from different sources and they overlay.
[Me]: It means, I have to look for something that may not even exist?
[Lin]: Why don’t you ask the Dark One?
[Me]: I have different plans about him!
I was not thinking that everything will be going smoothly, but finding a portal with a questionable existence put me in doldrums. We left observatory soon after. Luna’s carriage was waiting for us at palace ready to leave. We departed royal palace and traveled back to Wallington house.
On the way to Wallington house…
[Luna]: You seem perplexed!
[Me]: I am! Won’t you? Won’t you be stressed out if you were stuck in the same boat with someone who massacred your loved ones, your home and you couldn’t even touch it? You killed your uncle and cousin for killing our parents. Do you think I loved my family less than you do?
[Luna]: I didn’t mean it that way! I’m…
[Me]: I’m sorry Luna. I shouldn’t have let my emotions take over me. I’m sorry…
My elbow joints on my knees, I had my face pressed onto my hands. I was feeling desperate.

Path of Blood.
In my world, there are only idiots who know nothing of the true workings of the world. They only see what is shown to them, only accepting and not questioning anything. They brag about the strength given to them yet do not know how or where that power comes from. Sick of this competition for power that is unfair to all who participate, I’m tired of being given choices that seem fine to others but don’t make any sense to me. Others are blessed with supreme talent, others are born cripple; the world is unfair and that is a fact. But what if you could see? What if the world was open to you and only you? Would your life change forever? Would you become a King amongst men? OF COURSE NOT! For the heavens are fair and they shall maintain the balance of the realm, no matter what the case. Did I ask for the knowledge I was given? NO! Did I ask for the abilities I was given? NO! So then why make me different? Why turn me into a monster who sees all yet cannot participate in the competition for power that you have arranged? WHY HAVE THE HEAVENS FORSAKEN ME? From birth I saw everything, nothing could escape my sight. However, the heavens made me a cripple, they put me in the shadows and I can’t help but yearn for the light. Why am I still of the living then? Well, Why should I give the Heavens the satisfaction of seeing me give up? I will not submit to the heavens nor will I submit to the bastards that wish to use me. All I can do now is continue to rebel against everything. All I can do is continue to battle the Heavens in my heart. I shall carve out a new path for all those like me, a path that will go against the very constitution of this world. How will I do this? I do not know. But I will! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will upload a chapter a day on Royalroad (maybe more) however if you want more of the story at a quicker pace then go to fantasy-books.live. There are currently 110+ chapters of Path of Blood there. P.S - I started Path of Blood about a year ago so the first fifteen chapters have some problems character wise however I'm currently working with an editor to remedy these to make the story a better read. Anyway, these issues don't last long and since Pob is a story that rewards the patient, only those who've read till the latest will understand how good the story really is....I designed it to get better with every ark, surprises planned at every corner and the eventual ending of Pob will definitely not dissapoint, so stick around and give it a chance. :D

In the year 2022, one year after the Z-20 Virus outbreak, all of humanity had been infected by the virus, and their bodies reacted differently. The majority of the humans turned into zombies, while the minority turned into ability users. Some didn’t change into either. They were powerless in comparison, as even feral zombies were more powerful than an average human. At 20 years old, Yang Zhang was used as a scapegoat and kicked out of his town; a medium-sized shelter base used to protect humanity from the ever-growing threat of zombie attacks. Scared and powerless against the harsh world infested with zombies, he stumbled upon a squirrel that ate the brain of a dead ability user and began discharging electricity constantly. He realized that he could use this newfound information to protect himself. “That’s right!
