《True Ruler》Dragon flames!
Advertisement
???: "HEY"
I ignored the call and began heading to the gates until I heard another hey. First time I was way too deeply staring at the letter I was reading out loud and thinking how this probably could have harmed me but not kill me.
???: HEY!!!
I turned around to see who was calling out and was meet with no other but the guy who was supposed to have the speech instead of me.
Ohh great....
What does he want form me?
Me: Yes?
As soon as I turned around I was meet with a huge fireball. Needless to say that I dodged it thanks to my instincts as a dragon.
Me: WHAT THE?!!!
He came closer to me with red flame dancing around his open hand.
???: My name is Asmodeus Alice. I was supposed to be the one to make the speech! You scumbag stole my position because of your relationship with the principal!!!
Me: Aahm Alice-kun...
Alice: They say you are strong... Only the strongest and the fittest can survive here.
Wait wait wait!
What is this?
Survival of the fittest?!!!
Is he challenging me?
The moment he said that I could hear a huge crowd cheering and I was left speechless.
Me: Since when were there so many people here?
Alice: I called them here to take off your fake mask! Now before everyone's eyes prove that you are better than me! Show me what you got!
Just like that he began making a huge fire ball and threw it at me. I could have dodged it easily but I had enough. If he wanted to challenge a dragon then so be it!
All I did was stretch out my hand and absorb the flames that he threw at me. One could call this witchcraft and it probably will also be my defense if my grandpa asked me how I did that.

Alice: My flames... You think I am not worth a damn..
Me: No that is no-
Alice: and feel sorry for me, huh...
Me: Alice-kun liste-
Alice: HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME THAT MUCH!!!
The moment the flames were gone and I was standing there without even a single scratch, I could see his confusion and shock morph into pure anger. In the next moment he made a sword out of flames and began charging at me.
Alice: I'll slice you into pieces!!!
He came running towards me and all I did was simply get angry. If there was one thing we dragons didn't like then it was to be belittles or our dignity to be tarnished and he was stepping over my line of patience. I never attacked him until now and yet he is so persistent as to not even hear me out.
Enough is enough!
Me: You want to see some true flames?
I stretched my hand up to the sky and summoned my black and blue flames. The moment I did that they I could see his eyes go wild and him palling completely. I then closed my hands and touched the ground. My flames immediately came out like a huge serpent ready to attack its prey only to vanish in front of his face leaving him speechless. However these flames were not everything. I put my dragon essence into them so that if he was to look the snake into its eyes he would see a dragon and learn true fear.
Were my flames always black?
Huh...
I can't remember them ever being black...
Welp.. probably something to do with the demon realm.
The moment the flame vanished he stood there for a minute before falling to the ground unconscious.
Me: My my... was this too hot for him?
All the crowd did was only cheer for my victory. I however couldn't stop but feel guilty for making him pass out just like that. Seeing as it was my fault, I went ahead and picked him up in order to have a couple of students tell me where the infirmary is. Naturally I put him there and immediately went for the principal's office since it was close by.

Me: Grandpa...
Sullivan: Ohh what a great show this was!
Me: No it was not!
Sullivan: Oh yes it was!
Me: HOW WAS THIS GREAT?!
Sullivan: For example the display of your black and blue dragon flames that only royal dragons can summon.
Did he just say dragon?
I misheard him right...
Me: hahaha dragons don't exists.
Sullivan: Unfortunately they don't anymore. You are the last one and from the royal bloodline by the looks of it.
Me: What funny drink did you had today?
Sullivan: There is no denying it Iruma-kun.
Me:...
Sullivan: Don't worry. I won't do anything to you. In contrary you are my grandson and I will protect you. However I want you to know that there is no need to hide your dragon origin.
Me: How did you know?
Sullivan: I had a feeling that you were different the moment I meet you. The display of those black and blue flames only made it clear to me that you were no human.
Me: Will you abandon me now? I can understand it if you will send me back.
Sullivan: I won't do such a thing to my precious grandson.
Me: Huh...
Sullivan: I don't care what you are. You have a splendid character and I went to such length to get you because of it.
Me: I see...
Sullivan: Now then. I won't tell anyone about your little secret unless you want me too.
Me: I would appreciate it if you don't do that. Also do you know what happened to the dragons here? All the dragons on earth were hunted down because of their well qualities and essence for humans.
Sullivan: Unfortunately I don't know it for sure. They say that our ancestors went to a different world in order to establish another great culture.
Me: So they went to earth and met the humans...
Sullivan: That seems to be the case.
This was when the door to the room was slammed open and Alice-kun came in.
Me: To- Alice-kun!
He ignored me and walked over to me before he stopped and bowed to me.
Alice: Just Alice
Me: Okay. Ahm Alice.. Please stop bowing.
Alice: I was a fool to have challenged you just like that. On top of it I heard that it was you who took me to the infirmary.
Me: It was only natural to help you after I made you faint.
Alice: According to demon law, the loser belongs to the winner!
Me: Alice, there is absolutely no nee-
Alice: I submit myself to you, Iruma-sama. Together we will rule the school! Let's make them all kneel and bend their will under our command!
Me: .... Please don't say that!
Alice: Who will be our first target?
Sullivan: What a nice ally you gained.
Me: Grandpa! Not you too!
Sullivan: Oh I will be looking forwards to see how you will be concerning my school!
Alice: There is nothing that can stop us!
Me: Cut it out! I just want a peaceful life!
Alice: I would be happy to burn every single piece of garbage coming our way that will come into the way of our new peaceful life!
Me: What did I get myself into....

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.

Philippines in Another World (Because Japan is too OP. Please Nerf)
This is the Philippines, the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It is a country of sunny weather and sweet smiles, where life is relatively simple (unless you are into politics) and where people are friendly and warm. However, it is not without flaws.For instance, Philippines suffer corruption in the government like other developing countries as well as decades of insurrection. The rich only gets richer and the poor gets poorer, while since time immemorial the country's denizens have this habit of hating their presidents and loving foreigners more than their own countrymen. It seems nothing has changed much since the famed EDSA Revolution of 1987.The year is 2042. Philippines has reached economic growth comparable to South Korea in 2022. Still, elite families control the government and social justice remains dismal. The younger population became increasingly materialistic while their parents are becoming more and more irresponsible. The problem has shifted from "how to decrease population" to "how to make spoiled kids' and parents' ass off to work".In terms of military power, the country has acquired considerate amount of firepower but remained one of the weakest in the ASEAN region thanks to politics. Worse, China and the USA has declared war against each other after a diplomatic blunder thanks to the incompetence of their respective new presidents. The world is doomed to a world war 3 while the Philippines was caught unprepared for war. Instead of finding solutions, politicians in the Philippines continued to blame their political enemies while the CBCP called everyone to prayer, hoping that God would make a miracle that make Philippines somewhat immune to nuclear weapons. Ironically, the prayer got answered in a way that is unimaginable....

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
