《I should care because?》Conspiracy
Advertisement
In all honesty she had never done this before, but she had read about it. If there was any time to try it it would be now, and if didn't work then she would always hide.
They charged at her again and she waited till the last moment to dodge it, making them stumble yet again. She then quickly placed a distance between them so that if it didn't work then she'd have some time to run.
She concentrated and focused on him. When he rushed at her again, his sword already in a position to slice at her. She quickly raised her hands (imagine zombie position with hands in the front), by then the crimson moon had slowly started to fade. Nevertheless it still worked. The mysterious assailant collapse due to too much blood going to the head. Blood gushed out of his mouth, nostrils and ears. It was a rather horrifying sight even Silence grimaced a little when she saw it.
Surprisingly, or perhaps unsurprisingly the assailant was none other than Skylar, the crown prince.
'The prince? But he couldn't be that stupid now could he? He's known for his intelligence and no doubt has many assassins that he could order around. There must be something bigger going on. For now it cannot be discovered that it was I who killed him, if I value life.'
With that thought she quickly drew the blood from the ground, using the last of the crimson moon's power scatter it into the air as thin as possible. What was left was a very pale looking, slightly blue colored skin with hints of red along his face. She had to wait around an hour for the effects of the blood moon to dissipate before carrying him with the help of the winds.

First sleep I had in about a hundred years.
I know right? It was rather refreshing.
Oh dear, you killed the prince?
Well you certainly aren't the first one to do so.
Say, how long do you think that she'll stay alive?
Probably a long time, she's smarter than the others.
But no matter how smart you are one mistake could cause her to die. Remember the time when Arnold died by falling from a cliff?
That was pretty funny, though what a waste of good talent.

"Did you find the bastard child?" a quiet but commanding voice sounded though the room.
"Yes your majesty."
"Good good, I'm afraid this child of mine is too controlled by that emotion of his. It won't be long till he makes a mistake that could cost him his life," fully unaware that he was already dead. He let out a sigh,
The Queen isn't a good influence either, actually encouraging the feeling of 'love'.
"What are we going to do with the blood moon your majesty?"
"There is nothing to do, we don't even know what is coming."
"Do you have any new information about Silence?"
"Yes your majesty, she seems to be in good terms with the Vyrkas and is rather beautiful."
"She revealed her face?"
"Yes your majesty."
"I wonder what caused her too do that.....you may leave."
The spy silently left and it wasn't long before the kind was alone.
I worry for our future, if the bastard child isn't cooperative then perhaps I'll have to pass the crown to the Vykras.....ah, that's only if I'm really desperate. Suppose I have to place the decree just encase I die.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'It won't be long till that child is dead,' the Queen thought. Unlike what most people believed, Skylar wasn't her child, his real mother died at childbirth. But it isn't enough, she is still surrounded by strong people. Though.......the Crimson moon changes everything.

"Alert the Sorcerer that it's nearly time."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why did it have to be this body out of all the other ones in the world? It's weaker than a commoner! She can't even stand to kill a rabbit! Is the gods playing jokes on me? Tsk tsk, the only things good is the fact that she has powerful people surrounding her. But the fact that she has light magick is rather troublesome, though I supposed I'll have to figure out how to use it to my advantage. I suppose it's good since it would most likely hide my dark aura. I have to lay low for now though, this is a different world from my previous one. Though a few more days of waiting is nothing if you have waited for a hundred years already.

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him.

He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats.

He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.
