Malikul threw the book on the table, gritting his teeth in anger. His veiny hands brushed his hair to the back, eyes pierced through all his subordinates. The atmosphere inside the small room was tense. Four other people that were inside quickly looked away, afraid their mere gaze would get on his nerves. They wanted to prevent such.“Psst, Wan.” A buff male with average size leaned toward some other male.“What?” Wan turned his head and leaned in.“What is wrong with him?” That raspy voice inquired.“Shadow.”One word is all it takes to make them understand.Everyone was clear on why Malikul was moody.“But why?” The only girl in the room crouched down near Wan, leaning her head on the table.“I don’t know myself.”“He has been reading the book quite diligently. Don’t tell me…” The third male, one with curly hair pointed his chin at the book on the table.Wan nodded and affirmed it. “She is inside the book.”The raspy man gagged, unintentionally loud, and almost made Malikul turn hi
BANG! BANG! BANG!“My Lord! My Lord!”“Open the door, My Lord!”“Please!”“We have urgent news.”“Not urgent, it was urgent news!!!”“Please, we have more news!”BANG! BANG! BANG!“MY LORD!!!!”Both Amino and Ryuzaki stared at the locked door with mystified expressions on their faces.BANG! BANG! BANG!“MY LORD!!! WE NEED TO CONSULT OUR NEXT MOVE!”“LORD AMINO! OUR FORTE HAS BEEN ATTACKED!”“LORD RYUZAKI! WE NEED YOU TO MOVE OUR SOLDIERS TO THE FRONTLINE!!!”BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!“Huh~” Both of them blew a tired blow while leaning their back on their respective chairs.BANG! BANG! BANG!“My Lord!!!” All the vassals slammed their fists against the door or knocked mercilessly with their desperate voices calling them out. Yet, both Ryuzaki and Amino collectively ignored their desperate call.“What should we do, Lord Amino?”Amino just placed his elbows on his working table with a blank expression.Ryuzaki sat on the settee, leaning his back and propped his elbow on the edge of the hea
Alberu Spearman.He was the backstabber of Country C. The elf and his entire bloodline used to serve the leader of the Burning Town, when greediness took over him, he wiped out the informant so that no one knew where he was hiding.Even so, he was still living a good life solely because those leaders couldn’t easily leave the territory as they had to maintain the sacred fire that surrounded the town. The fire acted as the protector and only recognized the people that were recognized by the owner.Not many could enter, and even few could escape.Not until the ruling of the latest lord - Lord Shadow.She was by any means far too dangerous and different from the rest. She was different. For her, the selection to the throne was totally noteworthy. She was appointed by an oracle who was also the highest authority one could get.And usually, the lord from the oracle was so much different and beyond vicious. By looking alone, she was indeed the lord of the oracle.Decisive, menacing, wild, a
TAP!A half-naked body, wearing only pants and messy hair appeared in the middle of the nothingness. The black wings coated with red-ish color were fluttered a few times in confusion.His barn red eyes shifted around as his body spun around as well.“Where the hell am I?” He muttered, flapping the dirty air around to make his eyes clear.But then, he remembered the first few pages of the book. Shadow’s reaction was so hilarious. She was so angry and cursed him and Wan out.What in front of him was nothing but a wasteland. And if he wasn’t mistaken, he knew this land too well. According to the description in the book, this place used to be a grave.“Country D.”There’s nothing within his vicinity. His eyes couldn’t pick a single decent form to make him understand everything or anything, in that matter.No humans.No living things.It was just a wasteland all around.“This is getting comical.” He brushed his hand against his hair while the other hand rubbed on his bare skin. “What the!
“Hah~!”“Hah~!”“No… more…”“Hah~ help…”Some were rolling on the dirt with their labored breathing. Body drenched with sweat, the sights were hazy, the heads felt like it could split into two and the over sensitiveness made them suffer most of the time.“More! More~ MORE!!!” The roar of the lord echoed in the training ground.All the fallen soldiers were trembling like weak leaves. Their bodies reacted when the shout resonated within them. Trying their very best, they rose from the ground, one eye was shut while the other was half-opened with quivered orbs. “Don’t be so weak-minded!” Shadow stomped the floor.Zruuu~RUMBLE!!!The ground cracked and violently shook.The poor soldiers that had definite stamina were now stumbled on the floor with their chests huffed heavily up and down.Amel, Conan, Samuel, Hashim, Mina, Naomi, and Sabrina who were in the same training ground and experienced the same training regimen weren't quite as tired as the others. Even if they did, their pride w
“Who are you…” Yet, Sabrina stuck with one question.The greatest. No one could do what she did. No one else but her. “She is THE Lord of this world.” Sabrina plopped on the ground with so much elegance as her eyes were full of admiration.Shadow didn’t look in her direction but it was okay.“Sabrina! The archangel is greeting THE lord of this world, Your Majesty Shadow.” She kneeled on one knee and stomped her knuckle on the ground with the other arm resting on her knee. Mina and Naomi gasped for the second time.“Right now, I am renewing my pledging to you, My Lord. I am, the servant of the god will pledge her loyalty to the O Greatest Her Majesty Shadow. My life is yours and your command is my soul.”“Oh… are you sincere, my lovely dearest archangel? Are you speaking the truth to me? Are sure about your decision… my lovely Sabrina.”“I am certain of my decision… my lord.”“Oh…” Shadow looked amused, her lips curved up although she didn’t necessarily look at Sabrina. “You pique
Amino brushed his fingers through his hair, feeling over the edge. His vein popped out at the side of his head and around his neck.“What is this?”“We have just heard the news.” Ryuzaki placed his elbows behind his back, striding along the busy shore.Currently, Amino and Ryuzaki’s people are lodging the boxes inside a few hundred ships. Ammos, destructive weapons, bombs, and many more were lodging inside the ships which later would glide across the sea toward the neighbor country; Country C.He had his own reason why he painstakingly traveled across the sea, passing Country B just to be inside Country C. It was impractical but Shadow’s target was them, not the country itself. So, his country was unlikely to be invaded by her.Country A, Country B, Country C, and Country D.Two of the four countries had no leaders. Now, the borders of one of the countries were closed from the inside, preventing others from entering or escaping.It was none other than Country D.Amino wrinkled the re
Three days later, a couple of tired bodies fell on the ground with shaking and convulsing bodies breathing heavily.Except for Shadow, no one could even stand straight or look straight into her eyes. Sadistically, Shadow curved a satisfied smile wider than she had ever done and emitted such a cold pheromone.Sabrina was already standing and trembling. Her face was covered with blood, her eyes flickered at Shadow warily.“Have fun yet, my beloved sister-in-law?” Shadow delved her hands inside her pockets.“I am. How about you, sister-in-law?” A good-natured Sabrina is gone. “... your body…”She didn’t have to look at her own body to know what Sabrina was talking about. Her body was covered with newfound scars created by Sabrina. Thankfully, it didn’t pierce any vital organs or it would be a hassle to recover.“I love those scars.” “Hah!” Shadow smacked her forehead while the other hand curled inside her pocket. “You are as shrewd as ever, Aisyah.”“You're as artful as ever- ugh, siste
