《Verlorene Seele(dropped)》I Am King
Advertisement
Avitus keeps cursing and swearing after the monsters came through the portal. He keeps asking us to run away, but he himself does not seem about to run.
" Avitus! What are you doing? We have to get away before something happens!", I urge him.
" Chill Lukatiel, just run away, and let my men handle this.", Avitus grins towards me, whilst putting his ear pieces into his ears.
Something is amiss, how can he be so calm? He is even listening to music! And what did he mean by 'his men'? Suddenly I am grabbed by my arm.
" Lukatiel!", my friend Judah pulls me back to reality," Forget about Avitus! If he wants to die so badly, then let him die! We need to get to a safe place, away from this mess!".
The knight behind the monsters slashes at Avitus without warning.
"HA! Is this all you can do?! SO SLOW!", Avitus mocks the knight as he dodged his blade. Though Avitus claims the knight is slow, my eyes could not even see him move from his original position. I realize that something is seriously wrong, all the time i've seen Avitus, he never seemed even the slightest bit athletic.
He had a pretty face, was a good height for a guy around here, around 1.7m, and was slim with broad shoulders. Athletic is the last thing i would describe him as, he would be a model more so than an athlete.
So how, how did he dodge the blade, and even doing so without the slightest hint of fear on his face?
The knight suddenly jumps at me, if i were a normal human i would've been sliced in half by now. Luckily I'm not. His actions seemed as slow as a snail compared to the speed of which me and my men train. Seeing that he was about to do an overhead slash, I sidestepped to my left as he was holding the longsword in his right hand.

As a follow up, the knight twisted his blade mid air and sweeps it towards me. I immediately jump backwards. I tap my earpieces and conjure up communication magic. I contacted my private army situated back in my castle in the other world.
" Send in the fanciest group to m location, the one that uses rapiers and always wear their coats and ties. I have a couple corrupted i my school.", after saying that much, I cut off the spell.
3...2...1...0.5... ahh finally. I counted the seconds to the arrival of my troops. It may seem riduculous to normal people but since i have them use a special magic which is fueled by 3 whole mana engines on their helicopter like vehicles, the can warp between the two worlds without meeting much resistance.
Five fancy looking soldiers jumped down from about 50 meters in the air. When they were a meter off the ground they activated simple propulsion magic and blast through the ghouls and proceed to form a subjugation magic circle.
They intend to stop the knight? Question him? I'd rather just finish him off, I know they can do it, I gave them knowledge on powerful magic and techniques to forge the strongest, sharpest, most magically conductive swords. Each one of them has enough power to go toe to toe against a stronger knight.
" Seize your USELESS mad charge at our lord!", one of them shouts as magical chains appear from under the knight and forces him into a kneeling position.
I cringed at that. It's just so cheesy. Maybe I should force them to wear high tech 'power suits' and give them magically fueled mini rifle sized rail guns.
I walked towards the knight, summoned a single edged two-handed guardless long sword(maybe i will draw the swords if i ever learn how to post pictures and stuff). The sword had the length of a katana and the blade curves outwards at the bottom, it is completely black and has a fuller running down both sides close to the spine of the sword.

I hold the two handed sword in my right hand, I usually hold most swords in one hand s that i can still cast magic or use my powers with the other hand.
I casually meander towards the currently kneeling knight.
And behead him.
Avitus just... he... I try to wrap my head around all that just happened, a space ship came through a portal, people jumped from a great height and suddenly killed all the monsters and called Avitus their lord? Then he... he summoned a sword from nowhere, like magic, and... he... cut the knights head off. There was no resistance as the knights head came off, no blood...
Avitus suddenly turns around and stares at me.
" Who... What are you?", I nervously question, I now know he wasn't a normal person from the way he acted, the way the people who used magic addressed him, the way he killed the knight.
" Me?", Avitus ponders the question.
" I am king. And call me Alzeid from now on."
----------
Ahh lesser action from the main character than i wouldve liked, i had to show off his private army after all.
On the next chapter! End of the world?!

Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
