《ELECTUS - A tale of Peaceful Demons.》Snow Ignites
Advertisement
"Sire. Have you gone insane? What did those Demonic Ignites do to you?" Asked Zar's Personal assistant after Zar left the center and made his way up to his Castle again.
Zar didn't feel the need to explain to his subjects why massacring and raping innocent people is bad. Yet he couldn't blame them. The Chapels of the illas have convinced the people rather well that Ignites are Demons from the depths of hell.
Having rather believable theories at the back of his mind, King Zar did not feel hesitant to explain but at first these thoughts ran through his mind. "Much like the fact that my Grandfather isn't a God, Ignites aren't demons. This was all a plans of Xakro illustratio l."
And of course he wanted to talk it out with Seer as well, normally Zar would behead anyone who says something this stupid to a King but Seer is important, he isn't royalty but is a good friend. "Seer. I'm going to ask you a question, use your logic here with me. Don't be short sighted like the common folk."
Seeing that Seer is listening, although a bit confused that his King did not have an outbreak of rage, King Zar continued. "The second Era started in Ignis when the war between Ignites and illustratios ended. They all settled in to co exist, well more like they've got more land than they wanted even thought the Continent ended up being split in 4 Countries."
Although confused where the King is going with this, Seer has read the history books enough to know exactly what piece of information links with it and he did not spare to tell. "Right, but there were minor groups of people in our motherland who were Ignites and the majority wwrw illustratios."
Seeing that Seer is catching up, with a smile Zar shouted. "Exactly." But of course has more to say in order to back up his own words. "And the other way around here in Occidentis Ignis. There used to be more Ignites here with small groups of illustratios as well. But they co existed although most prefered their actual officially claimed motherland."
"What is your point sire?" Seer asked the obvious, this History session is nice but how exactly does it link with what Zar just declared in the Kingdom Centre?

And finally, King Zar added the portion that doesn't add up, doesn't link. Even the illustratian History books failed to conceal or sugar coat these facts, perhaps over looked? "If they were able to co exist in considerable harmony throughout the Second Era for around 1,832 years, why did everything change once my Grand Father killed the Electus in her own Castle?"
But of course, even if the History books failed to conceal it, the illas Chapel has formed rather believable facts for those few who knew such scarcly spoken royal information. "Because he took her powers, to use them for good. To kill Ignites."
"Exactly, that's what the books say. But if the Electus didn't kill innocent citizens, and even threatened two countries to remain neutral with our motherland, how exactly did she use her powers for bad?" This information is rather hard to process, the past Electus no doubt sounds like a Hero here.
Landing the last bit of information that settles everything in place, as he saw Seer trying to comprehend everything, he added. "If not anything, she prevented a Snow Ignite uprising. They would have eaten up Meridionali Ignis if it wasn't for Akareas. The Snow Ignites and even the Ignites weren't in the same alliance as us, yet she helped."
Adding a bit of History that signifies relations, Seer spoke. "Ignites and Snow Ignites didn't co exist with each other, not to mention illustratios."
Afterwards he started debating with himself, thinking and murmuring. "If Ignites are as bad as people say they are, regardless if they like the Snow Ignites or not, they would allow the war due to the opportunity of overtaking weakened forces after."
"The Electus kept everything together." He interrupted Seer's self debate, and shared what made Seer completely believe that this is all a sham. "My Grand father killed the Electus, launched an attack against all three of the other Countries after. Why weren't the Ignites demons before that attack?"
This convincing part of information led Seer completely clueless but at the same time revealed a lot of valuable information that links together. "I...I suppose. Well. I mean. I think…" He was struck speechless.
"There is nothing to think, the Ignites aren't demons. If anything, we would consider Xakro a demon. He had magical powers, and so did his son and grandson. Do you think the Grand King is a demon?" Of course using common illas phrases can be used to the King's advantage as well.

"Of course not sire. He is a hero." Seer spoke clearly once more, his tone arising.
Wiggling his finger in front of Seer, the King expressed with a small sigh. "A hero. No. But not a devil either. Magical powers don't have to do anything with hell, it's just Propaganda my Grand father payed priests to do."
Finally admitting to his missdoing or best called misinformation. "You might have a point Sire."
And once again returning to reasoning, signifying a smart mind Seer stated facts. "But as that fool from Crutal Kingdom said, leaving the illustratian alliance will leave you vulnerable to attacks. Do you really think you have what it takes to withstand possible attacks from dozens of Kingdoms?"
He is prepared for this fact as well of course and he isn't planning to play stupid either. "I got word that the Snow Ignites are revolting as well. I'm not certain of the situation but all I do know is that they invaded the Capital Kingdom and beheaded every illustratio in that domain. We won't be attacked anytime soon, the Grand King will be busy."
Shocked how he didn't receive such information before the King, Seer asked with a mild shout. "The Snow Ignites revolted?! How! They lost every Kingdom. They can't simply attack the Capital Kingdom and win."
Raising his hand with a displeased face, wanting to ask Seer to not shout but at the same time he didn't ask. The King expressed, "I'm not certain of the whole situation, but somehow they were able to withstand many attacks after claiming the Kingdom. Leaving the attacking Kingdoms without soldiers."
"To attack the Capital and win is one thing. But to withstand many attacks. There must be something more to this!" Seer indeed still remained shocked, he is still trying to comprehend this information but is half failing.
"There might be, I'm not certain. But all the Soldiers our motherland had to spare, were sent to Septemtrionis Ignis. If my father or any other Kingdom here choses to attack the most populated Kingdom in Occidentis Ignis, they would need to consider the losses that even the Capital Kingdom in our motherland can't provide much help for." His explanation adds one big piece in the puzzle regarding his actions.
It isn't certain since when he figured out this plot, but now is surely the best time to declare independence and grow.
But to Seer who works based on statistics and charts, he still questioned the King's decision. "The Capital Kingdom in our Motherland had over 40,000 illustratios living on it, not to mention the other Kingdoms having a decent amount of population as well. How could they not help?"
"Have you forgotten the 100 year long civil war? You are talking about how big the Capital was over 200 years ago. Many illustratios died while fighting against Kingdoms still not giving in to the revolution." King Zar helped Seer recall these facts, not to mention what's happening now with the Snow Ignites.
Stating another point of history, he became confused how the population did not rise. "It's been a hundred years since we declared Victory upon Occidentis Ignis. Our population started spreading well before that kid almost forced Crutal Kingdom to a collapse." Of course a little bit of hate still remains in him.
"That is neccesarily a bad thing for us, for Pameres Kingdom. Also, the Electus is indeed a powerful boy. I'm sure my father already has plans for him, otherwise he wouldn't send that fool to Lan Zhe." Knowing his father, Zar already isn't really a fan of what he might be plotting.
Getting back to the main point, he explained to Seer what he is doing here and why is doing it. "I have a goal, to help Ignis turn back at what it used to be and even better, to achieve those goals I'll need the assistance of the Electus sooner or later."

Natural Alchemist
Will is poor. This is a fact he does not like about himself. Even back at his home village he was considered poor, but poor in the big city means something completely different than poor in a small village... It means ten hour days of hard manual labor with barely enough money to survive, and poor living conditions. He's sick of it, and desperate for change. Perhaps that was what made him decide to spend such a large portion of his savings on a mysterious potion from that beggar... That, and it seemed so special when he held it. But ever since that day, he's been having the strangest dreams... And the work is really starting to take a toll on his body... Author's Note: I wasn't sure which mature content warnings I should put on this novel, as I'm pretty much pantsing the story. I'm putting them there mostly as a percaution, but also to not limit myself as to where the story can go. This is my first time writing and publishing anything substantial. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Transmigrated as an NTR’ed protagonist.
WARNING!!! The mc of this novel is weak(mentally) and thus unlikable. The story also has a tag SLOW-PACE. Which means there won't be a lot of actions going on from the get-go.Erlig, a senior in a respectable college lived his whole life without knowing such a word as trouble. Stable life with no accidents, great parents, and a good friend. Gaming was his hobby.But when he tried a new game something happened to him.He was trapped in a new world as the protagonist of this game. The worst is that he was cuckolded, humiliated, and beaten down. Not knowing how this happened he now forced to live a different life.Those things, that looked like fiction in the game turned out to be much more real. He is forced to confront the dark and grimy world that looks much harsher than what he always saw. The only things that left in his changed world, is his meager knowledge of the game and his, own, self.Given such a miraculous opportunity, he is forcibly taken out from his bubble and placed between a choice.To break and fall or to forever change his fate, his life, and everything around him. A little description to give a better understanding of what this story is about. It's my vision on a fusion of Korean fighting manhwas and Korean r-18 romance manhwas with the protagonist that is not typical to those particular works.Author's note: As this is my first novel and English is not my native language any criticism would be appreciated. Release schedule: At least one chapter every week.I also post on Scribble Hub and Webnovel.
