Min held two babies in her arms, her eyes teary as she looked at her children. The two infants looked near identical to each other. Silvery white hair, black and red eyes, blue skin, and chubby faces.The only noticeable difference between the two was that one of them had a tiny p.e.n.i.s.
"Miliana and Drakkus, my son and daughter. Look Eliana, you have a brother and sister," Min said, using Ellie"s real name for once.
"Yeah," Ellie replied, as she sat on the bed next to Min, a big smile on her face. Dralu stood close to them, looking at his family. A satisfied smirk adorned his face. Today, he had a son!
Living with a family full of l.u.s.tful females was tiring for the man, so having a son he could teach and raise made him happy. Not that he minded that he always had a source to relieve his libido.
"I can"t believe you had twins! Now this place will be full of children. Akon, my Kira, Leo, and now Miliana and Drakkus," Kemah said. Leo was the son of Rina. Since the two silblings who raised him as parents both lived at the brothel, he, too, liver there.
Min, Kemah, and Ellie were happy that it was so, since they"re children would have another playmate. Kira and Leo were very close in age, so if Rina and Lina stayed at the Moonshine Garden for a long time, they"d no doubt grow close in relationship, too.
Indeed, everyone was happy with life. But deep in her mind, Min worried. Soon, she"d have to return to being an a.s.sa.s.sin, return to danger.
She did not want to risk dying and leaving her family alone, but she knew there were things she had to do. She knew she had ability, and she didn"t want to waste it. She was conflicted.

In the distant parts of the Empire of the Elven Kind, far away from Rymalona, there was a raging battlefield. Hordes of monstrous beings charged through the fields, tearing up the earth itself in their wake.
In their path of destruction, stood a much smalled group of armored knights, standing in a tight formation. Their sword flashed and monsters fell, adding to the many, many corpses that littered the ground. But now matter how many, they slew, more came.
The hordes of monsters fell back as far as the desperate soldiers could see. One after the other, they fell. Countless armored corpses were mixed in between innumerable monster carca.s.ses, although in much smaller number.
They were outnumbered more than ten to one, yet they fought bravely. But this was a battle where victory was impossible.
One after another, the men and women died. Soon, they were no longer able to keep their formation together. Thus, in one swell swoop, they were annihilated. Yet the beasts and monsters paid no heed to the corpses of their fallen enemies, instead charging onwards to the distant wall.
With speed higher than that of any man, they charged through the gra.s.sy plains, crashing into their fellows in their disorderly march. Soon, they arrived at the walls, climbing up them like they weren"t even there. The archers put up a feeble effort to save their home, but within minutes, they had all been slain.
An orchestra of screams and death wails ensued, followed by a deadly stillness.

Within a palace, higher than any tower or spire, in a hall, golden and white. A man with white hair, reaching even farther than his ankles was seated. His dress was a white purer than snow, with extremely thin, glowing golden lines forming an exquisite pattern around it. The threads were so thing that the only reason they could even be perceived was because of the dazzling glow they exuded.
Yet, those glowing runes were nothing compared to his dazzling eyes! They radiated a frightening power, their light alone enough to illuminate the entire hall!
A man dressed in golden armor entered the great hall. As soon as he opened the colossal door guarding the throne room, he felt an almost scorching heat envelop his body.
He immediately went down on one knee, and pointed his face to the floor, his eyes shut close. Without saying a word, he waited. Several long, painful seconds pa.s.sed.
"Speak," a G.o.dly voice reverberated through the entire room. The golden knight gulped, before forcing his words out.
"Another city has fallen. The hordes continue to ravage throughout the southern parts of the Empire. The people down there are growing more and more frantic," the man reported.
A loud sigh came out of the radiant king"s mouth. He loved his people, but he could not protect those outside his capital.
"Send the Akaziel. Have them eradicate every horde they can find," the glowing emperor spoke, his voice radiating with power.
The golden knight was taken aback, almost unable to believe what he"d just heard.
"T-the Ak" he mumbled, but he quickly came back to his senses
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The knight finally saluted, before making his way out, as quick as he could. Reporting to the emperor was always a horrifying experience.
"He"s sending the Akaziel. That means he"s finally taking this threat seriously," the knight mumbled. Not many knew of the Akaziel, but those who did, all did so in fear.

Author"s Note:
Well, that concludes book 2. With my current plans, book 3 should be more action packed and Min fully grasping at her destiny.
The threat of the Grand Dungeon is growing ever more apparent with the southern parts of the Elven Kind in a state of chaotic turmoil. Min has a big family now, but she"ll have to realize that if she wants to protect them, she"ll have to risk everything. Only through gaining power and unlocking her true potential as a Child of Darkness will she able to keep those she loves safe.
Mysterious, extremely powerful players are being revealed, doing what they can to save their world, but strange, unknown limits keep them from acting personally.
Tell me, what would you guys like to see in this next book?
And if you want to support me and my writing, please do consider visiting my Patr3on, where many rewards are available.
For $3 per month, you"ll get access to all the art I"ve ever commissioned, including a short hentai comic, where Min and Dralu have some fun.
For $5 you get access to two other series I have written, but that I haven"t published yet. There are two books from the Avatar of Terra(previously Earth Cultivator) which is a cultivator story set in the future with some interesting elements. The third book is almost finished and will be released on Patr3on very soon.
The other is Prison World, which is set in a dystopian future, where if you commit any crime, you get executed. The twist is that instead of actually losing your life, your mind gets uploaded into a virtual world where you can live out your next life. Our protagonist is a young woman who commits petty theft in desperation, and ends up being born to a family of farmers. However, after living in the world for more than a dozen years, war breaks out. Soon after her eighteenth birthday, her farm gets attacked, and she gets enslaved, becoming a s.e.x slave.
After living some time in slavery, a threat to her life becomes apparent, and she has to choice, but to escape. With the darkness of her owner looming over her, she runs into the nearby forest, where she eventually meets an old Necromancer.
Book 1 of Prison World is available on Patr3on, while book 2 has only just been started. After I finish book 3 of Avatar of Terra, I"ll focus on Prison World.
I"d originally planned to get book 1 of Avatar of Terra edited last month, so I could finally publish it, but then I ran into a rather financially expensive situation, so I had to postpone. But I have a stable job now, so I"ll soon be able to afford to spend the money I need.
After the books are edited, you"ll be able to get the full book on Amazon or Patr3on, or read it one chapter at a time here, on Scribblehub, and one Webnovel.
My Patr3on page can be found here: was a longer than usual Author"s Note, but it seemed appropriate to explain all my stuff at the end of a book.
Thanks for reading, and see you next book!
