Black String of Fate

"Is Fate the excuse of the forsaken, is Free Will the delusion of the chosen?" Such was a question that Xavier, the Demon King, never had the chance to ask himself. As he lay defeated, awaiting his death, he wondered about the wretched life he lived. 'The hero who killed me, the one who held the same ambitions as me. We both wanted good for the people, for the world. We are both two sides of the same coin, yet, fate decided that he will be the one the light will shine on. Perhaps it was me too, perhaps it was my karma for flowing the rivers of blood with my sword. But still... It was fate that squashed the humanity in me first! Damn fate, if I had one more chance, I would've lived for myself more, I wouldn't have taken this arbitrary role of being a necessary evil... This world, this game of destiny... It can burn to ashes for all I care.' As he sunk into the cold embrace of death, a certain [REDACTED] heard his dying wish with amusement and cast their die, reversing the wheel of time one last time and going all in on him on a risky gamble with the stakes of their world. ************** Discord Server (fixed): https://discord.gg/rZhT6zdp2f Author is on a break, exams are coming soon.

Negotiations with the Master Mage (1)

Inside a dining hall arranged by the training arena, 2 old men and a little boy were having their lunch. More accurately, the two old men already had their fill, and they were watching the little boy somehow devour the 7th plate of dish that was enough to fill a whole family.

Finally, after finishing that plate and chugging a jug full of fruit juice, Xavier made a content sigh and looked over at the two guests.

"Sorry for the delay, the food tasted especially great this time."

The older of the two laughed and said,

"Of course it would, you had burned so much of your energy that even shit would taste good to you."

"Haha, who knows? I've never tried it."

The two swordsmen lightened the mood with such a disgusting joke during lunchtime that Zorak felt weirded out. He cleared his throat to grab the attention and began by introducing himself.
