Waves crashed on the harbour wall as the sea breeze blew. Birds cawed high above, circling the harbour. Ship workers were seen all over the area, banging nails on ships, sweeping the decks and floor, brushing the side of the ships, and transporting goods among many others. People were bustling to get on the ships and others were waiting for theirs.However, they all stopped whatever they were doing when a commotion suddenly arose. People pointed fingers and took pictures on their smones. The commotion came from a man with golden hair with blue and gold dichromatic eyes. He wore a blue shirt and a red jacket over it. He also had a backpack on him. The man was surrounded by knights that cleared the way ahead of him.Beside the man was a tan skinned woman who wore a headpiece that veiled her head and face except for her eyes. Her clothes were decorated in gold showing her wealth and authority. Her eyes were almond shaped and light brown in colour. Her body was slender yet had beautiful c

There was a castle made out of smooth sandstone standing in the middle of the city. The castle’s area alone covered a fifth of the entire city. Knights were posted all around and on the walls and were also patrolling in groups within the castle’s premises.A carriage tattered in golden colour arrived at the front gate of the castle. The knights escorting the carriage opened up the carriage door and formed a line all the way to the gate. Matthew got off the carriage. He changed out of his hoodie and was wearing his usual jacket now. It took an entire night to get here.A lizardman in white robes and a turban on his head came out of the gate and walked toward Matthew. He was probably an important figure in the castle. When he was close, he stopped and kneeled.“Lord Dragunov, please follow me inside. Her majesty Queen Cleopatra is waiting.”Waiting? She sure got up early just to see him. It was literally just after dawn.“Lead the way.”“Yes, sire.” It was only when Matthew said so that

A pirate ship had engaged in combat with the merchant ship. Thanks to Matthew and Afro’s involvement, the pirates were subdued with ease. They were tied up and brought onto the main deck of the pirate ship.“Thank you for your help, sirs.” The captain said to Matthew and Afro after they threw down the last of the pirates.“You’re welcome.” Afro said. He was currently in his shark form. His shirt was torn and only had an oversized white shorts.“Ugh! Who’d have thought a Dragon Emperor would be here?”“We were fully equipped to handle this.”A couple of the pirates whispered to each other.“Oi!” The captain stomped the deck and shouted. “You are either going to tell me who sent you, or you will be food for the fish!” The captain was incredibly furious and scary.“Ha! As if we’d tell you!”“We’re loyal to the captain!”“Is that so?” The captain picked the pirates that spoke up. “Then I suppose an example would suit you better?” He dragged the pirate to the edge of the ship and held him

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Shima said as he walked side by side with Matthew.They were walking in the palace and passed by guards that were on patrol. All of the guards saluted them as they did.“You didn’t have to come personally.” Matthew replied.“When my guest is someone as esteemed as you, as king, I believe only I am fitting to accompany you. Aside from Lady Cobalt of course.”Shima Melcros, the king of the Cobalt United Kingdom. He was a blue scaled fishman with a slender stature yet defined muscles. He only wore a kilt made from beautiful translucent jellyfish-like material and had a golden ribbon resting on his shoulders. On his neck were five pairs of gills. His hands and feet were webbed like a duck’s and fins on the forearms and on his hind legs. Shima had yellow fish-like eyes and his ears were fins. His hair was blue and reached his shoulders.“What brings you to my palace?” Shima asked.“Well, I was just stopping by to meet Cobalt originally. But since all route

600 years ago, there was a great war that shook the entire world. Unlike the World Wars on Earth, the Scarlett War was not a conflict of multiple countries against other countries. It was a conflict between one country against all others.This story took place about two years before the war.Leviticus Scarlett was a half human half demon. He was always treated unfairly because of his origin. His mentality was strong and endured the abuses, until a certain event happened and made him snap.He came alone and was floating above the ocean where the Kraken dwelt below. They struck a conversation before the fighting began.“Why do you come, O king of demons?” The Kraken asked.“To kill you, ancient one.” Leviticus answered.“I know of your strength. You are not someone that I can defeat, that I know.”“Then why not surrender and die a quick death?”“You are too arrogant, king of demons. You should learn that your way of achieving your goal is pointless for the people will never agree.”“I o
