"My Lord," A soft, ephemeral voice from the void sounded as I rested upon my throne. Scrunching my brow, I shivered as I slowly opened my gaze. It had been eons since I last felt the light upon my face or the voice of the gods upon me. Gazing at the young woman shivering as her body began to break apart, I closed my eyes once more. "Why have you awaken me, Rae," I asked in a weak manner as my qi gradually began to flow through my body, slowly waking me from my long slumber. Sensing the little…-

Tearing my eyes from the Tome of Sin, a book I had read over the endless cycles but had yet to grasp fully, I turned my attention to the young boy before me. Narrowing my gaze, I nodded, "Are you ready?" I asked, staring at the dark light glimmering from the man I called my brother. "I am. The seal has been created." He replied with a hint of anticipation, "Shall we head to the Court of Nox? I am rather anxious to fulfill my deal with Asmodeus." Releasing a deep chuckle, I couldn't help but pat his…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" Opening my eyes to torment, I released a screech that resounded, tearing apart my throat as I stared down at my naked figure. Two large rusty hooks could be seen piercing through my shoulders, hanging me up like cattle. Feeling the hot tears trail over my cheeks, I shivered as a warm liquid ran from my legs." R...rave help me." I begged, clenching my eyes shut, wishing this was only a dream. Yet, as the hours began to linger, my reality only grew grimmer as my wounds began…

Staring at Arsene talking with Lilith, I felt a little out of place. Especially when He told me about my obvious weakness, it would be a lie if I said I didn't resent Arsene a bit. It was childish, but I was not too full of myself to agree. I was not that adept at schemes like he was. I loved schemes, but I could not handle them on such a big plain like Arsene and father. While I could think ten steps ahead, he was a hundred steps in front, already planning my next hundred steps as well as his.…

I didn't need to do this, but I felt rather compelled to help out the Nines. In contrast, I could give two shits about the demons and Devils. The Nines themselves were different. Like the darkness, it deserved my respect. Noticing Ezra slowly becoming colder, I wondered if she would take my advice. Not everyone can just be a good king. It takes dedication and skill, depending on what kind of king you wish to be. Lilith and I have no interest in ruling over the Nines, as in the end, complacency is a…

I was totally not fooled. No, I have definitely seen him before. Pondering for a moment, I didn't say anything again as the Jarl suddenly passed gas as the folds of his fat began to quake. "Damn, that was a good one." He bragged with a hint of pride," So, Snow, I want your Relic." "So does a few billion people," I replied, my mind still trying to recall as I coldly analyze his every gesture. With a slight radiance of my eyes, I frowned as nothing appeared, not even so much as a shimmer of soul…

The entire audience grew still as the dead with a heavy heart while my soft cold laughter rang out. The sound of a pencil drop could practically be heard as I arose, causing my lovely wife, Lilith, to smile in amazement, "I didn't know you could play." "You could say, this skill was something I never had to practice. I have always been a master in regards to playing the piano." I replied lightly, bowing in grace towards the audience as Lilith and the others followed in suit. Suddenly a wave of cheers…

Chapter 197 - Masquerade Opening his eyes wide, Trygve gasped, "When Arsene said he had a wife, I did not think she would be this sweet and innocent. Lady Freya must have surely blessed you. " He complimented as various onlookers sent a glance towards my wife. "Surly you jest, Lord Trygve." Lilith humbly exclaimed as she tightened her arms around mine. "I'm afraid not, my dear." The familiar voice of Kandis rang as I turned to his lion shape mask. "In all my years, I have never heard such a voice. Lord…

Hearing the sounds of rain falling over the carriage, I sent a glance towards the lifeless eyes of Silvia, sighing, thinking about my past. Looking down at my palms, I sighed, "So will I ever regain my memories of what happened." "Never," Lilith coldly stated, "Your outer soul was destroyed; you will never regain those memories again. Unless that person was able to gather parts of your outer soul essence, but even then, you will only retain fragmented memories. Pictures of the past, or half words…

Curling my lips, I pulled Lilith into my arms, "Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. She was the little shy girl that helped me out in the forest of Serem. Who would have thought our path would cross once more." "I was just as surprised," Lilith whispered, snuggling into my arms, losing her earlier coldness, "I have high hopes when I arrive in Asterion. Do you think I should wipe their memories?" "Hmmm, no, do you have the boy's father's soul... In fact, do you have all the mercenary's…
