《Monarch of the Darkness》C7. First battle
Advertisement
"You... What have you done, arrghh." Shouted the bald guy angrily towards the man in darkness. He was furious because he had lost two of his followers.
The two followers behind the bald guy shivered as they watched their comrades died. All four of them have quite the same strength. Therefore, if two of their comrades got killed easily, that would mean that this guy can kill them effortlessly.
The man in the dark gave two potions to an old man and ordered him to take care of the wounded guards. Afterward, he turned back and looked at the remaining men icily.
"Impossible, you are... The weak prince" trembled one of the men. When the bald guy heard those sentences, he was stupefied. The weak prince is supposed to be a trash 2-star Origin warrior. Before, he was considered a genius because he controlled darkness Arte, one kind of Arte which rarely appears in the Zenith kingdom. In the beginning, everything went smoothly for the prince. However, as he reached a bottleneck, he tried to breakthrough many times, but it always failed. Therefore, when people knew this they stopped their praise, mocked him and called him the weak prince.
Almost all people who lived in the Zenith kingdom knew about this story!
"So what, he is merely a 3-star Origin warrior now. Both of you are 3-star, and I am a 4-star Origin warrior! I don't believe that he can defeat all of us," sneered the bald guy. He thought that his comrades died easily because they got caught off guard.
"Interesting," smiled Hayden. Two of their comrades got killed by him, and they still got the guts to underestimate him. This bunch of morons got no brains.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, come if you dare," taunted Hayden icily as he activated Eyes of Darkness. Purple-dark silhouette color appeared on Hayden's eyes, making him look more dangerous than before.

"You two encircle him. I will take him from the front." ordered the bald guy. Both men nodded and started to encircle Hayden from left and right.
As both men got closer, they waved their hands and cast their strongest skill. "Weak prince, taste the might of our combined Arte, Icefire Explosion!!"
Hayden looked unperturbed, he glanced calmly at the combined skill and murmured. Luckily, I had made some other skills when I was in seclusion before. Thought Hayden as he waved his left hand and started chanting words.
Shortly after the ice and fire Arte collided on Hayden's place, creating a massive explosion. All of the animals nearby got scared and started to run away.
"Looks like he's dead from our strongest attack brother," laughed both of the men joyously. The bald guy didn't care about their opinion and quickly cast earth Arte on himself, trying to remain vigilant. The wounded guards paled, and Nevarth clenched his fist, wanting to intervene if it was getting more dangerous. The explosion dimmed shortly after, the two men were eager to see the prince's dead body.
As the surrounding got more visible, a wall of darkness appeared on everyone's eyes. Hayden stood calmly inside without a single dust nor scar.
"Damn, he is still alive! Quick we need to stall him," swore the men as they charged on Hayden. The attack before cost them too much mana, hence they can only use some simple skills to try to stall him. The bald guy also charged forward and threw a punch towards Hayden. The punch contained heavy force of earth Arte, which many ordinary 3-star Origin warriors cannot withstand.
"Piss off, piss off, piss off!!!" Shouted Hayden furiously as he let the power of darkness flow into his hand and obsidian sword. He slashed all of the two men's skills and punched straight towards the bald guy.

The punch collided, the two other weaker men got blown away. The bald guy was surprised because the weak prince could collide with him in a contest of pure Arte strength. While the man got distracted, Hayden smiled slyly as he saw through an opening, he ducked down immediately and uppercut the bald guy's jaw mercilessly, blowing him away.
"Hehe, since you dare torture and try to kill my men, I will kill your men mercilessly," said Hayden coldly as he charged towards one of the wounded men. The man regretted, but it was useless, not long after Hayden arrived and slashed him into two.
"Noooo..." Roared the bald guy. He stood up and tried to move quickly towards his last comrade, trying to defend him. Hayden watched and smiled mockingly as he cast Dark Movement and suddenly reappeared behind the man's shadow, beheading him straightly.

Cornucopia of Hope
The graduating class of Hope's Peak Academy has been kidnapped sometime after their graduation ceremony. They wake up in a beautiful, plush mansion with no idea where they could be other than the name Our Mansion of Plenty. The physical barriers of steel plates and locked doors might not be enough to cage them, if it weren't for the malicious mechanical fairy calling itself The Fey and ruling their new lives with an iron--albeit tiny--fist. While being kidnapped is bad enough, the fact that this fairy brat is telling them to kill each other is definitely worse. Apparently, murdering one of your fellow victims is the only way to get out of this luxurious mansion. But nobody would do that...right? Cornucopia of Hope is a non-canon killing game completely alienated from the the canon universe of the Danganronpa games. The things borrowed from the games are as followed: Hope's Peak Academy, and the structure of 16ish hyper-skilled teenagers trapped in an enclosed space and being subjected to a motive, a murder, an investigation, a trial, and an execution of the presumed killer. There are no spoilers, tie ins, or previous knowledge required of the series to read this story!

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
