I don't even remember writing it... I think the novel needs exorcising
"This ring is one of a kind and will only allow the true owner to wear it. I had these made in secret. Even the gods couldn't have watched my actions."[1]
Yeah, don't ask to pirate my work so openly friend.
I would say, maybe just wait for it to be on a free 24 hour day for you, it's 2 fast passess because I write more than those 1,000 word chapter authors.
The Empire's forces retreated in desperation—trampled by faceless horrors bringing darkness and death to these once beautiful lands.
Only the most courageous stood in defiance, forming a last defence to buy the people time to flee—fighting until the final embers of hope burned out.
A man stands with a silver sword, like a beacon of hope to those around him. He roared with all his might drawing his blade against the overwhelming enemy!
"You face Lancelot, Sword of the Empire! "
These horrors tested the Lord's grit and loyalty in the final moments.
"Should my blade break, I will use my body!"
The knights had fallen, broken swords for their tombstones, and lords fled, betraying the Empire to survive.
"If my body breaks, I'll use my Soul!"
Lancelot, the sword of the Empire, fought alone.
All hope seemed lost.
"And if my Soul fails..."
What could a single man and his army do?
He fights against the dark tide, blade in hand, heart on sleeve.
"I will sell myself to the devil for revenge!"
But he was too weak, too fragile.
The last Lord of humanity stood against the enemy.
Lancelot was a master of the sword, a mortal, neither a God nor a Saint.
Miracles were beyond his reach.
Now only a broken man impaled on his own destroyed throne.
His blade shattered—now, like rose petals, it was scattered across the charred ground.
Lancelot's soul was fated for the abyss as the light faded from his eyes.
His last ounce of resistance used staring at the man who betrayed the Empire.
Now with only the desire to kill, crush and seek revenge smouldering inside him.
Now unwilling to die and desperate to fight once again.
He desired to fight for the people who supported him.
Lancelot refused to surrender, to fall like this.
As quietly in the abyss, a voice whispered to him.
It tried to entice the Lord, ignite his desire to win and fight again.
"If given a second chance, to relive your life with a different choice... Would you Accept?"
Blood gathered in his throat, forcing him to reply in his mind.
A frail and broken voice
'There is no reason to ask, of course!'
"No matter the cost?"
'Even if I were to lose everything...'
'If my people can live on. I would sacrifice everything I have!'
"You will no longer be the same, a monster, twisted and vicious."
"Will you still accept?"
The Lord's heart ached, taking great pride in his humanity.
To lose that caused his mind to falter.
Finally, out of power, unable to speak or reply with a trembling arm.
Lancelot reached out.
Towards the raspy voice.
Towards the abyss.
Towards a new future.
[So you would accept after all...]
'I must accept.'
'I must stand tall.'
'I must not break.'
'Because...'
'I am the Lord of humanity!
[Nay, you are the king of demons]

A sudden app invite completely changed Shibuya Rai's life, allowing him to bid farewell to his ordinary days of misery and poverty.
He was currently shouldering immense debt and suffered due to his mental health. Suddenly, receiving this gift awoke something inside him, a desire to improve to reach higher.
Fate had allowed him to turn his rubbish reality into a magical world of power, money and women.
So Rai took it with both hands, desperately grabbing this golden treasure.
Entering the Eternal Dungeon.
"Pride, a dangerous sin, but I take pride in overcoming that danger."
A young man suffering from amnesia awakens inside the murky basement of a slave merchant's store—finding he has become a Savant, a fancy name for combat slave.
He looks around to gather what kind of life he led before or to see his reflection.
Yet there was nothing but a group of half-dead, lifeless men laying around and dark iron bars locking them inside.
However, he did not feel fear or show despair as he should but rather became calm—only with a slightly confused face did he look around once again.
He could see strange images, colours followed by an ethereal whisper that seemed friendly, telling him what each colour meant as his only thoughts were, "Who am I? How did I get here?"
He closed his eyes, listening to the approaching footsteps before the old iron door slammed open.
A girl entered with golden hair and blue eyes; after watching the men momentarily, she pointed to them and shouted.
"I'll take them all! They will do great for our little wargame!"
The Slave Master seemed nervous upon looking towards the Silver-haired young man clicking his tongue. Now realising it was a mistake to place his ill-gotten goods here.
Suddenly, as the girl began to make a deal with the Slave Merchant, a small whisper sounded like a devil in the young man's ear.
'Do you want the power to live again?'
'To seek freedom?'
'To survive the Hell you are about to face?'
The young man looked around for the voice before it spoke again.
'I can grant you a chance of freedom, do not waste it.'
He could only laugh bitterly as a blue screen appeared before his face, the light illuminating his eyes as he gently spoke with a soft, ethereal voice.
"I don't know my name or past... but freedom... That sounds great!"
