Hello guys , I’ve read your comments, and I can’t stop laughing =))
Those theories about Andel and his arachnophobia are actually hilarious ... Unfortunately not too accurate ...
Well ... This chapter marks the beginning of the new arc ...
I am sure that the action will surprise everyone because of the sudden turn but bear with me...
One more thing to add , someone asked if Andel had more seals except the ten first generation Alpha type ... Well , I did mention that he actually has 13 seals so ... Yeah, he does ...
Without further ado , enjoy !
Purgatory arc : I know a shortcut
“Mea , why the hell is this thing so slow ???” [Andel]
“Unfortunately, Andel – sama we were caught in the aftermath of your S rank skill and over 90% of this ship’s energy has been drained . The remaining 10% will be enough to get us back to the Arachne clan , but it will take a little longer!” [Mea]
“Uhhhhhhh ....” [Andel]
It has been 48 hours since I came to this world ... Now I am travelling together with Hecate and Mea towards that spider filled territory of nightmares ...
Before leaving , I created a magical shield over the temple like building . If I ever decide to go back , the formulas and symbols that constitute the summoning circle will be a great help . And it can be used as the shelter in case of emergency .
Furthermore, I donated to king – san a total of two hundred billion gold coins . Those were the reward from Central for the information provided and are going to be used to deal with the aftermath of Elenair’s invasion ... Well ... I did keep one billion gold coins for myself just in case ...
I did actually want to keep more , but my Soul Storage has only 500 cubic meters . From those , half are occupied by the items I bought from my former world and the rest is filled with Gold ...
As for the twelve kids from Earth, I did actually give them a little gift before leaving together with the words : “From now on , you shall decide your own future !” . They seem quite intelligent, so I am sure that they will be OK ...
One more peculiar thing actually happened ... I don’t really understand why , but after I drank Hecate’s blood yesterday my fear of her Arachne form disappeared completely ...
Before I couldn’t even watch her half spider body, but now I don’t have any problem even touching it ... Of course , if she allows me to touch her . Obviously ... I am not a Maou after all ... Oh, wait ... I am !
One surprise after the another , not too long after I promised her to help , she transformed into a human form ... It looks like for the Arachne clan using your real form when you ask for favours is the minimum acceptable courtesy ...
Well ... Good that this rule doesn’t apply to me as well ... If I were to release my true form , even for a second , things would get bad real fast !
Advertisement
Is not that my mentality changes while I have my real powers released or something like that , is just that I can’t actually control my energy, and everyone around me is in danger ... So , in the future , let’s avoid going all out unless it is absolutely necessary ...
‘Hmm ... Ahh ... ’
“Eh ?” [Andel]
“Andel – sama , you shouldn’t touch there ... ” [Hecate]
‘Ups ...’
“I’m sorry ... ” [Andel]
“It’s OK , after all, I am Andel – sama’s slave !” [Hecate]
It might sound pretty bad, but all I’m doing is checking Hecate’s spider body ... It looks like changing her body is as easy as breathing so , whenever I want to study her , all I have to do is to ask to change in her spider form
Since I am not afraid of her anymore , I try to figure out what changed . Without to much luck so far. I tried to touch Mea’s spider form, but I can’t even look at her without shivering ... I ... Don’t understand !
Uhhh ... Still ... I really hate that word ... Slave ...
Upon agreeing to help the Arachne clan , I shall receive 50% of the clans treasury , the position of Great Elder of three of the total of nine islands that form the clan , together with five million disciples as my direct underlings and Hecate as my slave ...
To be honest , I think this is a horrible deal ...
First , I don’t need anything from their treasury ... I already have more than enough gold with me ... Secondly, the position of Great Elder seems like a pathetic attempt to make me part of the clan , but that is too much of a hassle . Thirdly ... What the hell am I supposed to do with five million Arachne disciples ? No thanks man !
As for the slave thing ... I never liked the idea of slaves. From my point of view , everyone should at least have a degree of control over their life ... In this world becoming a slave means that you lose your free will and any of your master's orders are your life ... That is to ... Cruel .
In this conditions, I came out with a solution ... When I meet Hecate’s father , the head of the Arachne clan , I shall refuse everything that he offers to me and instead I will ask for Hecate to become my first wife ...
I know that we just met , but so what ? I like her , she doesn’t hate me so all is good .
While making this decision , I took into account the memories absorbed yesterday using Blood History ... She was always alone , her only friend being Mea . She doesn’t have any boyfriend and has never loved anyone before . So there are no problems in that department ...
So it’s decided ... First I will annihilate everyone that dares to stand in my path and then I will get married to a beautiful Arachne ...
Hell yeah , sound good !
----------------------
“Meeeaaaaaaa ... Are we there yet ???” [Andel]
“I don’t want to be disrespectful Andel – sama , but the answer to your question is the same that was the last fifty time when you asked me : NO ”[Mea]

“Uhh ... ” [Andel]
OMG ... This thing is slower than a snail ... Although we are actually flying with over one thousand kilometres per second , when the destination is over two billion miles away , it is still too damn slow ...
I didn’t want to do this because , so far , it had not been tested in this world , but this trip is too damn annoying ... Still, it should work ... In the worst case scenario , nothing happens ...
“Hey Mea , stop this ship for a second ... I know a shortcut !” [Andel]
“Eh ... What do you mean by shortcut Andel – sama ?” [Hecate]
The one asking me for detail is actually Hecate that is now resting in her human form ... She must be quite tired considering that I have been inspecting her spider body for over eight hours ...
‘Grin’
“I will show you !” [Andel]
Both of them looks a little sceptical , but Mea stops the ship in the end ...
In the next moment , ten snakes eating their own tail appears on my hands . Those are my ten first generation Alpha type seals .
“Release !” [Andel]
‘Ehh ’ ’Huh.'
It seems that both Mea and Hecate did not expect this development and utters a short cry after which starts getting a little further away from me ...
With a ‘Ching’ noise the ten seals shatter only to reform themselves in the form of a necklace around my neck . Two big horns grow from my forehead , my hair and eyes turns crimson, and a long robe made out of liquid blood red fire covers my body .
This is my Partial Form .
One funny thing about this form , if I encounter a strong enemy and end up exhausted , my robe , which is made out of Astral Energy , will disappear in the end leaving me completely naked .
“Uhh ... Andel – sama ... Why did you ...” [Hecate]
She is shivering ... It looks like it will take her a little longer until she gets used with my current form , but there is no rush .
‘Smirk’
“Like I said , I know a shortcut !” [Andel]
I take a step forward , raise my hand and with a finger pointed in the direction where the Arachne clan should be , I release my full power .
“Forth Revelation : Space Warp !” [Andel]
In front of me, space itself starts distorting and soon a pitch-dark hole appears in thin air ...
I look at Hecate with a smile on my face .
“This is my Forth Revelation . It creates a sub-dimensional tunnel where space itself is shortened . Using this , we should be able to get to our destination in a matter of minutes . ” [Andel]
They look at me with blank faces . Then they look at the dimension whole and back at me ...
“Mea , what level was that skill ?” [Hecate]
“S ...” [Mea]
“I see ... ” [Hecate]
Uhh ... Why are they so surprised ? I mean they already knew that I could use S level skills ...
“Andel – sama , could you please tell me just how many S level skills can you use ?” [Hecate]
“Uhh ... Sorry , but I can’t use that many ... Only five ...” [Andel]
.................
...............
.........
“Mea , you did not hear anything . Andel – sama can use only one S level skill ... Al the others are B+ level ! “[Hecate]
“Understood Miss Hecate !” [Mea]
.... Is it really that strange that I can use five so-called S level skills ? Those are not even the strongest abilities that I possess ... But for now, I should keep that a secret ... Is not that I don’t trust Hecate , is just that , considering the standards of this world , she might faint if she knew what I am actually capable of .
“Mea ... ” [Andel]
“Y-yes Andel – sama ...Right now !” [Mea]
The ship enters the sub – dimensional tunnel ... Everything around is dark but light can be seen in the distance . That is the exit . Good . Finally, this annoying trip is going to be over .
------------------
Seven minutes later , we finally exit the sub – dimensional tunnel ...
“Uhh ... “
There is something strange here ... The ground is barren and filled with lava lakes and rivers . Here and there can be seen a few ruins that look ancient ... But the thing that surprised me the most is that the quality of the energy in the air is different ... It’s clearly ... Superior .
“I am sorry Andel – sama but ... I don’t know where we are ...” [Hecate]
“Mea ?” [Andel]
“Well ... This might be ... But no , there should not be lava ... Or ... No , there are pink clouds ... ” [Mea]
Before I manage to understand what actually happened , a heavy voice came upon us from the sky.
“Ho ho ... What do we have here ?” [Heavy Voice ]
A big demon like creature , with four arms , one big horn , red skin and bulging muscles riding a creature that looks like a Lion combined with an Eagle descends in front of us .
Well , his form is not that surprising, but his size is ... Humongous ... He must be at least two hundred meters tall, and the Ligle (this is what I’m going to call that creature from now on) is even bigger than him ...
“Welcome to the Purgatory Realm poor lost souls . I am Gargran , the executioner that rules over this area . From now on you shall burn your sins in the fires of purgatory for eternity . Ha ha ha ha ha ! “ [Gargran]
Hecate and Mea look terrified ... But in my mind, there is no fear , just a question that I can’t suppress anymore ...
“ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME ? AGAIN ???” [Andel]

Ebony Chitin - Adventures of The Hive
Ebony Chitin - Adventures of The Hive is a story centered around a Hive mind bug elf, and her favorite human-dwarf mutt Richard. The story will shift perspectives between the two, as well as other members of the Hive. Follow along on their adventures for; the friends they make, the enemies they slay, and the questions they seek to answer. Thank you for reading, as always. ^.^ Afterword: Hello there everyone, and welcome back those that have already read the first story. If you are new, don't worry too much about the first step of the series. Truly, this second part aims to cover most of what was done there. Those that have read it will know a few secrets and plot points before we see them. Though it shouldn't detract from your reading of this one. Honestly, the first one was a bit rough, but do as you will. I will warn that this will tackle some serious topics and might end up getting rather explicit in terms of what is done or seen by the characters. There is a bit to cover, so I'll explain what I can between chapters without overloading anyone, hopefully. -Cover Art drawn by Cozie [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Slave 53: The Phoenix
Azgarth is a violent Warlord from a planet where everyone feared him, a man that never lost a battle whether it be from his enemies surrendering or dying. After entering a wormhole, this once infamous man had his memory completely wiped. He was enslaved under the name 53. The great comet arrived one day and gave 53 an extremely rare animal aspect, the Phoenix. Having a rare animal aspect puts people on the fast track to power in this world. Will 53 show the same brutality as his former self? Author: So there will probably be a lot of changes when I start hashing out the whole classes and what not. I'm not planning on this to have statuses or anything like that, but when people 'lvl up' is probably going to be something like ascending 1, 2, 3, etc. With each ascension they are many times stronger, for example, someone who hasn't ascend at all would be at 0, but someone with a 1 would be about 5x stronger than someone who is 0 and so on. It would take a long time to reach each one. With the red colored marks which represents fire, I have a couple ideas with what I want to do, in a way a battle royale, as this continent they are on isn't very large, but all four elements are on it (or more, I might add light, dark, and some others) but all the humans have red, while a different alien race has blue (water), brown (earth), and grey (Air). The color of the mark they have influences how they feel about each other, a example of that would be if a red saw a brown, then they would naturally feel a disgust about each other, and if they killed someone from a different color they would gain way more life essence which is needed to ascend than they would killing someone from their same color. The last thing, I'm not too sure about the main character yet, as I like the whole idea of a memory wipe, I almost think it'd be more entertaining to have the guy slowly regain all his memory, then just becoming his normal self again. If that's the case I'll have to change the title of book. The original idea was this guy would keep the name 53, and his prior self named Azgarth is sharing his body, as in he can talk to him and give him advice on things since he doesn't want him to die since he is sorta like a split personality sharing the same body. Looking at it now, idk if I want this guy to be named 53 forever. Warning: A lot of dark content in the book, especially in the flashbacks.
