《Sun Collector》Chapter #8 Deep Sea King
Advertisement
"I knew mister was a dishonest man from the moment I laid eyes on him," she said
I was just testing if she was dangerous, but it seemed like she was just a kid.
"It's related to my ability that I got when I turned 16" while I sat down against the fence.
"So you have a numbers ability that's no fun. I'm only 14 but my ability is way cooler than that."
True her ability was way cooler than mine. Wait how did she have ability without even being sixteen? Didn't that make her extremely dangerous because she could ask for an ability that went with her current ability?
I closed my eyes even though I was already wearing my sunglasses.
"Well aren't you a little monster? My eyes are closed so you don't have to stay invisible. Not like I could see you on with these glasses anyway.
"Papa said that I should never turn visible outside of the mansion and that my power is better kept a secret," she said,
Man, this girl just kept getting scarier I thought to myself.
"So how exactly did you get this ability to hide," I asked.
If I could turn invisible to the rest of my life would be a breeze.
I could simply imagine myself being a wanderer of the world nobody could find me and Id never have to eat. On the inside, I threw my hands in the air and shouted a "perfect life."
"I heard from the maids that when I was in mamas belly she ate something called a thousand changes shark," she replied
I didn't even know what that was but it meant that there was no invisibility power for me.
"What exactly is that?" I asked
"Papa said it was part of deep-sea king that they had found dead."

She just went from a little monster to something far scarier. I wonder if she even knew what a deep-sea king was? I only knew what it was because I read some books in the library.
They were heartbeast that had taken over an area of the sea and made themselves a king. The difference between a king of the shallow coast or a deep-sea trench was huge. But every deep sea king boasted its own unique ability that it had evolved to become king of an area.
"Even if that's how you got your power I know you need mana to use something like that," I said
"I know stupid that's why dad got me this cool ring and put it on my heart. It bubbles and makes the blood in my heart warmer and if I have enough warmth I can go invisible," she said
So she has an ability ring too, of course, she does I thought sarcastically. There were to options for me I either had to silence a girl younger than me or make her fall for me.
That was the only way to protect me otherwise just talking to this girl would cause me to have a gruesome end.
I looked at the number on my arm and it had ticked up to 10. An evil thought crossed my mind if I could touch someone could I set off a sunspot inside of them?
I stood up and walked towards the grooves in the ground until I was sure I was standing in front of the little monster.
"I can give you something cool its sort of like a piece of me. Do you want it?" I asked
"Mister is a scoundrel and a liar why would he give me anything good?"

"Fine it will be a trade then. I'll give you my present first what do you say?" I said
"Depends on what you want from me scoundrel." She replied curtly
"I want to be able too to touch your heart," I asked
"Your funny mister, that's the one place I would let you touch. My heart is where all my abilities rest so its been strengthened beyond belief," she said
I put out my hand and waited for too feel a sensation. Strengthened beyond belief huh. Is it stronger than a miniature sun? I thought with a smirk.
But then again I was a gambling man after all. As soon as I felt a sensation on my palm I immediately released my mana that I had saved up into her heart. I had saved up about twenty. I felt a shudder course through my palm.
When my mana passed by the ability ring that was spinning around her heart a name popped into my head.
Mana Regrowth Ring
I instantly regretted not setting off a sunspot with all my mana. This was perhaps the greatest monster I would ever meet in my life.
It wasn't mana regeneration or mana spring or mana generation. It was mana regrowth, the world had gone insane. She had a Deep Sea King and a mana regrowth ability it was almost like they were trying to create an Empress Sea Human or something.
I guess I really was just a frog in a well

The Demon King Absolutely Has No Attachments
Welcome to Akoras Online, where the power lies in your hands. This sandbox virtual reality MMO has gained a dedicated community, but it has a catch: those who die in battle have their stats reset. Spending all his time on the server to escape his shut-in life, Kas is the only long-time player with a death counter of 0. However, his social skills are also a big 0, so he's condemned as the cold-hearted “Demon King”. Now, the number of players who actually like him is also 0. (Which is fine. He enjoys the peace and quiet.) However, Kas' dreams of being left alone are banished over and over by challengers with various grievances against him. Among them is Gabriel, the celebrity "Hero" of Akoras, who has just as much time on his hands as Kas. Seriously, Gabriel tries to fight him a lot. It’s getting kind of tiring… Wait, this guy isn’t even in high school yet! The (not-so) idyllic trials of a Demon King and a Hero, with a raging faction war in the background. Now updates on Tuesdays, with the odd chapter in between.

Another Terror Infinity Fan Fiction
This is my first time writing anything on rrl. I've been a reader for a couples years now and decided that I wanted to give it a shot. I might not finish this story and the releases will be eratic but I'll try to get at least one chapter out on Sundays but if I don't have time it obviously won't happen. The title of the story should tell you everything you want to know about it. I welcome all criticism and hope I can provide entertainment for whoever reads this.
