All Chapters of The Demon Empress’ Revenge Quest: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

THE bustling city square of Valgard overflowed with spectators as it was a special day. Some onlookers were calm, while the others were enraged. Everyone was gathered to witness a rare spectacle in the Kingdom of Lumienar.The commoners and even the royalties were present enjoying the pleasant afternoon weather as they waited for dusk. It was a public execution where the condemned was bound tightly to a wooden stake waiting for the perfect time to be executed."You used forbidden magic and betrayed the kingdom!" Everyone said almost in unison."You tried to poison the crown prince! Treasonous witch!" Another shouted and threw a rock.It hit Sera's head that she heard a light crack. Blood cascaded down her face. She looked like a complete mess. Her disheveled black hair that was usually adorned with precious gems were unevenly cut. The expensive fabric that she normally wore was muddy and torn. As if she had no trace of nobility. Even her fair skin was full of bruises, as she was heavi

THE maid looked at her with concern as she witnessed her purple eyes filled with hate yet her lips twitched up to smile."Princess, why are you smiling?"Sera turned toward her. "I finally understand something liberating. What's your name again?""Agni… my name is Agni. I've been serving you since you were little. We are of the same age, Princess. Have you forgotten?""Listen Agni, Nesca is truly gone. I'm a different soul residing in her body."Agni didn't know what to say. She'd like to think that the illness did this to her mistress that was why she played along."O-Okay," Agni agreed even if she was hesitant.The wind outside the chamber howled, shaking the dark windows of the dilapidated cabin in the midst of the Cloud Forest."Let's keep this secret, Agni. I will live as Nesca from now on. And I will get the justice she deserves and take back everything that was stolen from her!" Sera was determined."Princess, are you not afraid?" The maid's voice trembled.Sera turned and stro

NESCA was hesitant to leave but she had to return to the cabin. Agni must have been hell-bent trying to search for her, knowing she might die."I will have to leave now to get another batch of herbs since you consumed everything. I'll let you rest."She returned to the spot where the Moonstalk grew, only a few had left. Nesca knelt beside a cluster of glowing silver-leafed plants and gently cut the blinking stems."System, is this enough?" Nesca asked while placing the herbs into her satchel.[Host has gathered additional seven Moonstalk Herbs. Quest requirement fulfilled.][Additional herbs may be collected for future use.]Nesca smiled with satisfaction and heaved a sigh. "What a good start. Something is going according to plan. For now, my health is the priority. The other things can wait."Along the way back, Nesca had an idea to test the legitimacy of the system."Hmm, let's give it a try…"She looked around the misty forest before placing her hand against the thick bark of an an

"TELL me your name, Apothecary." Nesca asked after his diagnosis."My name is Bram. I'm a senior apothecary in the imperial palace." The old demon introduced himself."What prompted you to pay a sudden visit? Was it because you were so sure that I died?" Nesca inquired dangerously.Bram averted his gaze. "Forgive me, Princess. I'm just following an order. My rank is low, I cannot question such a task."He clutched his medicine bag and opened it. The faint scent of herbs filled the small cabin as Bram carefully arranged several bottles on the wooden table.The old demon apothecary moved slowly, his wrinkled hands slightly trembled as he organized the medicinal ingredients he had brought. While Nesca kept stretching her arms as the system's voice echoed silently in her mind.[Daily Quest: Complete 300 squats.][Reward: +5 Vitality, +3 Strength.]"And here we go again…" her face looked determined. Although her body was still far from being strong, but compared to when she had first awa

THE chilly gust of wind in the Eastern Region of Darantha swept through the Cloud Forest surrounding the dilapidated cabin. Nesca could feel the vast improvement in her health after completing the fourteen-day task given by the system.Nesca's steps were now steadier. Her breathing was no longer as labored as before, and her pale face had regained a hint of color after days of following the system's harsh training. Her usual alabaster skin turned pinkish now.However, the system showed no mercy.The translucent blue screen appeared before her eyes again while she was collecting wild berries near the cabin.[Minor Quest Activated: Hunting Training][Objective: Hunt and defeat living creatures within the Cloud Forest.][Purpose: Strengthen host's stamina, combat ability, and survival instincts.][Reward: Beginner Weapon Set.]Nesca stared at the notification with a tired expression."Are you serious?" she couldn't believe it. "I barely recovered from exercising every day, and now you wa
