《Solitude's Requiem》A Impish Imp
Advertisement
I take the card out of the undead orcs body. A lot of demons seem disappointed that the fight ended rather quickly, or perhaps because I'm not the easy prey they thought I was. I look at the source of this fight.
The imp seems to be rather delighted with how things turned out. He gives me a thumbs-up as if saying that he did me a favor. I respond by quickly grabbing that little arm. He's visibly surprised and quickly starts giving small pained squeals.
“Ah auw stop sir, please sir. I'm begging you.”
“Why should I? You could have gotten me killed.” I say focusing some blood magic on my arm which boosts its strength.
“Of course not great, sir. I know you would win.” He says, trying to suppress his groans.
“That's quite easy to say.” I answer not impresses by his excuses.
“I don't have a second card, so I think I will just kill you.” I say while forming a spear of darkness.
“NOOOOOO, PLEASE!! PLEASE!! I CAN HELP YOU!!” He says panicking.
“How?”
“Great sir wants to get stronger right? I… I…. Know someone who can help, mister!!”
“Why would you think that?”
“I can see information about people great sir. I don't believe great sir has any soul abilities, yet you captured his soul. Of course, I can be wrong..... And you're very strong already, great sir… PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!!!” He says, clearly panicking.
'If he's speaking about seeing information, then that means he has appraisal?' I think before appraising him myself.
-lesser imp-
Name: Randyl
information:
[insightful]
[Troublemaker]
[Willing servant]
[Grovel]
[Expert pickpocket]
I frown, seeing the information about the little troublemaker. I decided to look closer at the information about the willing servant, as the rest are self-explanatory.

[Willing servant]: This being has out of his own volition decide to be in servitude to another.
'That does deem to make sense' I think to myself, looking even more disappointed at him.
“Why are you looking at me like that, great sir.” He says, on the verge of crying.
“Who is this person that can help me?”
His face immediately brightens, seeing his chance of survival rise.
“She's my mistress, great sir. She is a powerful seer who lives in the lower district.”
“Lower district?”
“Are you new here, great sir?”
“Yes”
“Will you let me live if I explain the districts, almighty sir?”
“Your chances of dying will be lower at lea.....”
I couldn't even finish my sentence before he starts rambling.
“You see beautiful and powerful sir Lucille's Light has 5 districts: The abandoned district, the blood district, the market district, the upper district, and the lower district.
The abandoned district: This is the district where failed experiments get dropped off. You know like weak chimeras or chimeras who can't be controlled.
The blood district: Is the district with all the arenas. It's basically the place to be if you're looking to make a reputation or if you are looking for a place where everybody wants to kill.
The market district: is the district where the most commerce is. people tend to avoid fighting there seeing that some shops are protected by strong demons.
The upper and lower districts: These are more like the living quarters of Lucille's light. Lower demons tend to live together in the lower district and stronger ones in the upper.
Was, was that an acceptable explanation, sir?” he says, stuttering nervously.
My gaze softens from anger to my more normal “I don't care” face as I drop the little imp. He desperately tries to calm himself before finally standing up.
“Lead the way”

Right as Rage
Only 15 years have passed since the miscreant god, Villi, stole magic from the gods and gave it to mortals. In response the mortals seem to be doing their best to squander this gift. The Kingdom of Abrune regulates it, the church of the Sacred Hierarchies outright condemns it, but one 'wildman' from across the sea begins his journey after being cursed by it. Vakdragnar's curse manifests when he loses his temper. It has driven everyone he’s ever cared about away from him. Out of options and money, he travels to the city of Tirough and quickly finds himself on the wrong side of the law. He is persecuted despite his intentions to do good. How can you stand against evil if everyone you’re trying to protect thinks you’re the villain? And if this curse is truly a part of him now, what if they’re right? **************************************************************************************************** Right as Rage is a story I’ve been excited to write for some time now. I hope everyone is as excited to read it. This story is going to be told over several arcs, with each arc containing 7-12 chapters, and an interlude or two each. I plan on submitting new chapters once a week on Tuesday evenings.

The Queen of School
Hi there, my name is Jason Corvus, you can call me Raven. My parents really (like a lot) wanted to have a boy, so when they found out that I was a girl, they still put me a boyish name. When my father was alive he always wanted to go to Tyndall Quantic Soren high school, but to the common people it was known as an elite school, but in reality, it is a school for those who are more than simple humans. My mother told me to fulfill his last wish and go to that school, but I am not that excited about it. Well, whatever. This time things seem more complicated than before, and I have no idea how long this time will last.

Sage Fall
Out of hiatus, but with a hitch. . Read most recent "chapter", Status Update, for more info. Trapped for thousands of years. Betrayed by the ones he held dear, the ones he called family. Finally set free by happenstance, Amrin sets out to find the ones that locked him in the heart of a mountain. Find the answers he's been asking himself while conscious within the darkness. The world has changed in his time away. Learning new things, meeting new people, struggling with questions he may never get the answers to. He will journey through this new world and search for the "family" that betrayed him and figure out why they did it. If they did not have the answers he was looking for, there would be consequences. *This is a VERY HEAVY story driven fiction (read: can be slow!). There are some sections of action, drama and soon/eventually, mature related content (sexuality and gore). There are going to be sections with lots of text and little dialogue. There's going to be sections with lots of dialogue and little descriptive narration. ***Word of warning and advice. To save yourself the potential disappointment! The MC is mostly a pacifist! If you're looking for a super OP protagonist that uses his powers to get what he wants and to hell with the consequences, this story IS NOT for you. There are times when it should be obvious why, other's it's only implied. Either way, if you are expecting "shoot first ask questions later" mentality from the MC, regardless of how powerful he is, save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the readers and commenters of my story. It's all the positive feedback and comments that really give me the motivation to keep going. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. So, again. Thank you!
