The Hero King CH 18: CONSPIRACY
Where there was light, there, inevitably, lay the presence of shadow, of darkness. A kingdom, no matter how strong, how lawful can never be without its own form of darkness and malice. Born out of the malevolence of the privileged few, who think that they are entitled to everything as if it was their birthright, the rotten — dark smudges of a kingdom formed into creation. The slavery system — a thing of the past. A thing of such horror that… it was hard just to even look back and reminisce about the state it had imposed on society. Thankfully, the horrible system had been reformed in the hands of the hero king. Mars, during the full length of his life, gave his all in slowly but surely improving the conditions of the slaves, the cursed reality they found themselves in. Nowadays, all slaves were the shared property of the kingdom and as such, hurting them was equal to damaging the kingdom's property and their honor. An offense that was punishable by death. Alongside some other such
The Hero King CH 19: DAILY LIFE
The grating sounds of sword clashing against sword, resonated deeply in the hanging garden of the tower of babel. Sparks flew, and exchanges were made. In the middle of the clearing stood a ring, there… two people were fighting. No hesitation reflected in their moves, matching speed, strength, and skills in a macabre display, trying their utmost to best the other and emerge triumphant. One of them, a young golden streaked, and blonde-haired boy, was sweating profusely due to the unceasing combat that followed till now. An extremely focused expression, however, persisted on his handsome face, his body precisely evading the blows and murderous slashes of his opponent. Still, he didn't stop there, answering his opponent's relentless strikes with equally brutal attacks of his own. The other person, a sapphire blue-haired young woman, clearly slightly older than the boy, had a much more relaxed expression and overall body language during the length of the exchange. Still, her gait was f
The Hero King Chapter 20: WEAK TO STRONG
As always his discussions with Lilith were a little stiff and straightforward. He didn't mind it to be honest. He just missed the days where she would just hold him and smile and laugh when he was still young. 'I need to make our relationship a bit better.' If you asked him if he loved Lilith in a platonic way he would answer with a humongous no. It wasn't just her body, which was hot as all hell, that attracted him to her. But rather her selflessness in caring for him and the ones she loved. 'I am truly blessed in this life. Once again, whichever god or goddess who sent me here, thank you from the bottom of my heart.' This time he was sure it wasn't just his imagination, he wondered if it was the laughter of the deity he was praising or not. Focusing once again on Lilith who was throwing a questioning glance at him, he shrugged lightly before changing subjects, "Can you make a little time for me? What about some light sparring? I have some time before my lesson with my teache
The Hero King Chapter 21: BATH AND POLITICS
Sol was still in a daze after listening to Lilith's story.Still, it didn't last long, "I understand." He simply answered with a smile full of confidence.Whining would change nothing. If he had the time to complain, then he should just use it to become stronger."Sooo… Why are we taking a bath together."Sol was once again in his bathroom, though, this time, the only ones present were him and his aunt Lilith.Currently, Sol was sitting on a low stool with a towel over his lap hiding his genitals while Lilith crouched behind him and was washing his back."No particular reason. I just thought that it has been a long time since I took a bath with you. The last time I did so was when you were eight? Time flies so fast."Sol simply nodded and lowered his head when she poured a basin full of water over him."I can do the front alone, now it's my turn."Lilith didn't answer and simply turned her back towards him while removing her towel from her back and holding it in place, protecting her
The Hero King Chapter 22: GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY AND RELIGION
"Your conversation with Little Lilith was particularly interesting."Sol made a deadpan face, while he looked at Edea, at the way his teacher brought up her peeking habits to him.Still, he nodded. He was rather happy about his discussions with her and every time managed to learn some new things he didn't have a complete grasp on.Edea smiled before waving her hand in the air, mana gathered at the tip of her fingertips, and soon a spherically shaped holographic map was slowly formed in front of him."But she is right. It's necessary for you to always have a better grasp of the world."It wasn't the first time he saw that map. After all, it was the map of the known world."As you know, our world is a body made out of 30% land and 70% water. We have a worldwide population of nearly 2 billion and a ratio of 3:7 men to women."Each time Sol saw the map, he couldn't help but fall deep in thought. Even though the formation of the continents was a little different, this map really made him t
The Hero King Chapter 24: BAD TIMING
"Why? Simply– because I love you, Edea."He did not add anything, neither did he embellish his words nor sugar-coat them."So what if you think you are worthless and without any redeeming qualities? So what if you hate yourself? So what if you find yourself to be weak and disgusting?"He spoke in a strong voice full of emotions and conviction, while a deep golden aura slowly but surely began to emanate from his being covering his form.Edea reeled in shock, the moment she saw that aura. It was without a doubt...'Mana? Moreover, it’s with an attribute?'Even Mars only awakened prematurely with attributeless mana. It was the norm. Humans were simply unable to have an attribute before making a contract.But, the moment Sol’s usually sky blue eyes changed into slitted golden ones. She immediately understood,'He awakened his dragon blood.'Sol, who was also about to continue his tirade, immediately stopped as he felt the new source of energy circulate throughout his body.He looked at hi
The Hero King Chapter 25: INTERLUDE 1: THE GIRL AND THE GREAT WITCH
She could not really remember, but the oldest recollection of her memories was without a doubt the panging feeling of hunger and the sickening feeling of overwhelming hatred. It was a deep and disturbing feeling that gnawed at her insides and made her unable to sleep or think.During those times, as only a ten-year-old girl, she survived by eating scrap and leftover trash and by fleeing or hiding from most adults, especially males.During those times, there was no kingdom nor did there exist a royal family. People of all races fought over their faiths and tried to indoctrinate their teachings on others. Humans were a prime target for those so-called indoctrinations.They were used as weapons…. they were used as tools…. they were used as mere toys.She hated recalling those times.During those times, human life was cheaper than garbage. A bit of food was incentive enough for people to kill each other over it and every day tens of people laid dead in the bleak streets filled with darkne
The Hero King Chapter 26: INTERLUDE 2: THE WITCH AND THE KING
Why is it so difficult to keep on living, without gazing anywhere but straight ahead?A question without an absolute answer…An asymmetrically splendid pipe organ was placed on the stage of a small concert hall.The melody produced with grave notes was truly majestic and splendid.It rampaged as if rupturing the hall from the inside.In the lonely concert hall, a fantasia was played by the highly famed musical instrument.In contrast to the giant-like organ, the instrumentalist was comically small.She looked no older than a very young girl.Her hair was colored white. Her dress mirrored her hair. Her doll-like skin, almost as though lifeless, was also of a pale white color. Furthermore, she wore long white gloves, made of satin and silk, that stretched to her upper arms.Only the color of her eyes that were a unique contrast of deep gold and blood crimson, shone in the dark shade of the room.Displaying her small delicate fingers, the cool girl was entranced by her own musical perfor
