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
The Hero King CH 23: OPEN HEART
"By the way teacher. Don't you have something to explain to me?"Currently, Sol was reading a rather thick brown-covered book titled dangerous zones in the world.It was a rather interesting book written by one of the angels living in Slothstein.Edea, meanwhile, was elegantly sipping on her tea when she heard his abrupt question.Intrigued, she put back her cup on the plate and threw a questioning glance at Sol as she queried for him to elaborate,"I mean, what kind of spell do you always use to make me forget about confessing to you?""By the way, I wrote a memo about me asking you this question today. If after reading this I remark that I have not asked about it I will understand that you did something to me."An awkward silence permeated between the two. Sol didn't even bother lifting his head from his book as he flipped another page.Still, even though Edea couldn't see his face, she could feel that he was quite angry with her.'This is the first time right?'She was quite surpri
The Hero King Chapter 27: GOOD OR BAD NEW?
"So, if I understand well, Sol might get kidnapped and gang-raped by a bunch of Witches if your conjecture about his gift is proven.""I am too old to deal with this shit."Lilith sighed as she pinched her brows while she sat on the chair next to Edea. Sol and Edea hide a snicker at Lilith curse.They were still in Edea's world, but after her revelation, Sol decided it might be wise to bring Lilith here."Okay. I understand. Firstly, " She stopped cursing under her breath before finally raising her head, "Congratulations on awakening. It came a little earlier than I thought it would but it's alright. Now we just have to test your capacity and then wait for the opening of the Astral realm.""Thanks. I must visit Camelia tonight. So I will also ask her to test me."It was impossible to know one's own capacity through normal means. The only way was to use a special device the church had the total monopoly on.No one could replicate it since it needed Castitas divine blessing to work."I
The Hero King Chapter 28: SILENT STEPS
In one of the innermost rooms of the church, a ritual was happening.Despite being completely devoid of any decoration, the room seemed to be covered in a holy atmosphere.In the middle of the room, standing over a large concentric circle in the form of a pentagram, Camelia could be seen with her two arms stretched and bleeding from the slit made on her wrists.She kept mumbling about a blessing from her "mother" as she bathed the circle, that was drawn in a special chalk, with her own blood.This blood, even though it was seemingly coming from a human, had a slightly golden hue.Her expression was as pale as a sheet and her breath was getting weaker. Still, she did not stop.Next to her, a young blonde-haired girl wearing a blue knight armor had a worried expression as she opened and closed her mouth again and again but still didn't voice her worry.She knew that any words getting from her could disturb the entire ritual and since Camelia had been bleeding herself out to the limit of
The Hero King Chapter 29: CROWN'S SHADOW
Sol frowned a little at the fact that she could slip past all his senses.'Perhaps it's because I am still not used to it?'It wasn't impossible. He just obtained mana recently and he certainly didn't get the total control of it.Still, he didn't wish to create excuses for her."Sol, you awakened?!" Milia immediately closed the door behind her as she exclaimed in surprise."Indeed." He answered calmly with a smile. Now that it was discovered there was no reason to hide it. "I just awakened it this morning, during a discussion with teacher.""Incredible!" Milia walked fast towards him and took him in a hug as she giggled in happiness.Seeing her like that made the suspicion of Sol abate a little. He smiled and he also hugged her in turn."Thanks. It also made me really happy.""Should I reward you?" Milia asked with a sensual smile as she slowly trailed her finger over his trousers.Sol didn't need to be told explicitly what kind of reward she was talking about. He debated a little and
The Hero King Chapter 30: FIRST FRIEND
Sol slowly opened his eyes as he once again appeared in the special teleportation room belonging to the church.This time, it was a private meeting between him and Camelia so he had no reason to wear particularly special clothes. Though he did make the effort of dressing nicely by wearing a simple black and white cloak over his white suit.'I did not feel sick this time.'A wide smile plastered his face. He had always hated this form of transportation because of the resulting sickness. Now it seemed that he did not have to worry anymore."Welcome, your highness."Other than him, ten others were present in the room. Though the hair color of one of them, in particular, caught his attention.'Blonde hair and blue eyes? And–an armor?'Those two colors were the sign of someone blessed. Genetic had absolutely nothing to do with it. Children wouldn't inherit this particular set of colors. The only way to obtain it is to be blessed or recognized by one of the goddesses. As for the armor, it d
The Hero King Chapter 31: SAINT FALL (1)
It didn't take long for Sol to reach the innermost room of the church.Even though he came regularly in the church, it was the first time he came to this zone. Along the way, they had met many patrols and inspections, showing just how important this place was.commentSol marveled at the scene carved on the black and white gate. A woman with fourteen girls behind her, all of them wearing golden robes on the white side of the gate, facing them was another woman wearing a bright red robe on the black side of the gate. Every one of them had no face, giving the scene a strange, creepy atmosphere."Mother order and the fourteen goddesses against Chaos."Chloe's voice brought him back from his fascination. It wasn’t the first time he saw such pictures and he also knew what they represented. But he wasn't particularly interested in talking about religion right now.What bothered him right now was the enormous amount of mana he could feel from the other side. He nearly asked Chloe about it be

The Hero King Chapter 70: SAINT
The gentle calming music of a harp echoed soothingly in the large dining space. In the middle of the pristine white room people, guests of today's event, sat on either side of the relatively large table. The Supreme Daughter being the only one sitting at the helm of the white wooden dining table.The stirring notes of gently plucked strings, resounding like the angelic hymns of heaven, were also the sole source of noise in the eerily quiet room. Even though the group currently dining was quite sizable, they ate in perfect and utter silence.At the head of the table sat Camelia, resting on her comfortable seat, on her right sat Sol, and on her left the Duchess Milaris eating away with elegance, the scowl never leaving her otherwise glorious face.The rectangular table was clearly divided into two camps, two sides at a silent war of stares, with Sol's side of the camp being quite empty. Still, this did not seem to bother him in the slightest.The table was filled with delicious but ligh
The Hero King Chapter 69: DISCUSSION (2)
He echoed out loud in absolute bewilderment.From the situation, he could somewhat guess what she meant but he wanted to hear her explain it, without that there was no way he'd be able to believe the presumptions his mind reached on its own.A sad smile, full of melancholy and pain, formed on Lilith’s face; saddening further seeing his incredulous look."Do not underestimate the means of a woman. Do you know this saying? Beauties are the bane of heroes.”Lilith didn’t dare to enter into details, just thinking about this wretched memory made her heart hurt, and made it hard for her to breathe."I do not wish for you to meet such a stupid end like your father. Your father was very poor at handling women. How to say this… He was too dense? Too easily flustered by women? I never understood why despite all his power he became a total mess when facing a person of the opposite gender."She sighed sadly, remembering about Mars and his foolish antiques when it came to women, she continued her
The Hero King Chapter 68: DISCUSSION
Hearing his sudden question, Lilith, who was about to eat her meal, narrowed her eyes to slits; myriad emotions filtered through them before she elegantly put down her fork and knife, resting her gaze at a serious Sol, more serious than she had ever seen him before.She knew for a fact that this question would be coming her way sooner or later and in fact, was surprised it took so long.Silence settled between the two as Lilith searched for the right words to answer Sol, to explain what he desired to learn. She wished for nothing more than for him to understand her woes and the grounds behind her actions.Before getting pregnant with her daughter, Lilith had never been interested in motherhood and she believed that she was far from the perfect example of what a mother should and could be.Her life was a battlefield and she was a warrior, motherhood never came close to the nature of slaughter and destruction she cultivated throughout her life.Thus, the inevitable happened when her chi
The Hero King Chapter 67: HELL HAS FURY
Having cummed thrice from Milia's passionate and meticulous attention, Sol had fallen asleep almost immediately. The day's tiredness, and the mental strain of the pleasure he received, coupled with the strain of the passion-filled exercise was just too much for him to do anything but immediately shuttle to the realm of sleep. However, for some unknown reason, as the light of the sun, filtering through the curtains, shined on his shut eyes and began to rouse him from his deep sleep, he felt a wet and warm sensation surrounding his lower body, specifically his hardened meat-slab. Slowly rubbing his heavy eyelids, still drooping with sleep, he looked at his crotch, and immediately, identified the source of the pleasurable feeling originating from his pleasure organ. “Good morning, your highness.” Milia looked up at him with a gentle and slightly lecherous smile, but for some reason, his underwear was pulled down to his knees and his morning wood was held firmly in her dainty hands, s
The Hero King Chapter 66: ORDER
In this world of fantasy and magic, Seven Kingdoms stood tall. Each of them, named after one of the seven sins, each of them representing one of the seven races inhabiting this world.Among them, there was the race of humans, and their kingdom was called Lustburg, named after the most hedonistic of all the sins, the sin of lust — representing the relentless passion and prolific desire the race representing it, humans, instinctually held.Presently, in a luxurious room situated at the very top of the royal palace of Lustburg known as the tower of Babel — a tall tower clad in the colors of white and gold, and stylized with archaic artistry — a young blonde-haired man could be seen sleeping soundly in a grandiose circular shaped bed, large enough to hold four or five people and still have enough room for them to sleep comfortably.“May I enter, your highness?”Whatever dreams the young man might’ve been experiencing were broken like shattered glass as his eyelashes faintly quivered, the
The Hero King Chapter 65: WELCOME BACK
What followed was a simple speech where Sol talked a little about himself and his wish to make the kingdom stronger and better. The usual rubbish.He now understood a little why politicians always lied during elections. The populace didn't care about the truth. The truth was heavy and full of bleakness.What they needed was someone who could make them dream. Someone who could promise them better days ahead. That was also why religion was always popular no matter what era.Well, this was just his opinion based on his experience.After the speech followed by the applaud, Sol's role was pretty much over. It was just noon and he had until the evening before having to go visit the Highland family. As such he decided to go to the quarters in the tower of babel with Lilin.After welcoming her, Sol immediately began discussing with Lilin about her adventures."For the first few weeks, I just stayed in the kingdom."From what she said, she didn't simply leave without any plan. She stayed in th
The Hero King Chapter 64: SPECIAL CHAPTER CHRISTMAS: BLAZE AND MARS
Under a shed in the hanging garden, a beautiful red-haired woman reclined on a rocking chair, a large white blanket covering her as she observed a young man busy himself around.White snowflakes fell like petals of a flower from the sky but thanks to a special barrier none of it entered the garden but instead drifted aimlessly around it, giving this sight a mesmerizing feeling.Sighing, the red-haired woman asked, "Why don't you let me help you, you know that I just discovered my pregnancy two months ago right? I still have between twelve to forty months before giving birth."At the end of the day, even though she looked like a human and had reproductive organs compatible with humans, she wasn't one. She was a dragon. A mythical creature mainly made out of energy rather than flesh.For the fetus to mature completely, it had to absorb her energy until saturation. The longer this went on, the more talented the baby would be. The problem was that during this period, the mother would be s
The Hero King Chapter 63: SPECIAL CHAPTER: DOUBLE MASSAGE
(AN: Those events happen few days before the tournament.)Sol was currently resting in the church after having fled from the training with Lilith. He didn't mind being trained harshly, but he also needed to relax from time to time.“To think Sol fell asleep so soundly, that crazy Lilith must really be tiring him.”“Indeed. However, his sleeping face sure is cute…"While Sol was still in the middle of his dreams, two women entered his room, enjoying the sight of his sleeping face.One was Milia, his maid and the other was unsurprisingly Camelia. They were now sitting next to Sol, watching him as he sleeps.“Nevertheless, for him to not even wake up with two people so close to him. Perhaps Lilith isn't training him enough?""This isn't the case. I assure you that his highness senses are incredibly sharp. It's just that he doesn't consider us as a threat and as such his sense didn't wake him up.""Fufufu~! I see. In short, he felt at ease next to us."It was truly incredible to see a Mai
The Hero King Chapter 62: INTERLUDE 6: GLADIATOR
"I see, so you are Setsuna."In a large room, a blue haired little girl could be seen standing in front of a blonde haired woman.'Incredible! So this is the daughter of Castitas. How powerful.'It wasn't the first time she had met someone at the level of a ruler. But compared to her father, or even her uncle, the woman sitting with a faint smile in front of her made all her instinct scream in submission. She had to give her all to not simply roll over and show her stomach.Seemingly noticing her discomfort, Camelia showed a smiled in apology before dispersing the silent pressure that was filling the room."I am sorry. Your father was someone I respected very much. Hearing about his potential demise is something truly sad and I lost control of my emotions."Setsuna lowered her head at the mention of her father. Her eyes reddened as she fought to hold back her tears. No matter how far she had fallen, she was still the princess. She refused to show such a disgraceful sight to a stranger
