Forsaken Immortals - Chapter 196 - Befriending The Geniuses

Welcome! If you want to jump in without any spoilers, feel free. Otherwise, here's a story primer, with a list of more specifics on what to expect from my work further below.Our story follows a fallen knight haunted by his past, in a world afflicted by war and supernatural wounds. Alken is the Headsman of Seydis, an executioner tasked by the divine powers of his homeland to hunt dark sorcerers, warlords, and traitors of all varieties, lest they drag the world into calamity.Once a paladin, this role ill suits him. Forced to cross lines that shake his beliefs, tempted by dark forces, and seen as an ill omen wherever he wanders, his path is often a bloody one. The longer he spends in the shadows of his world, the more he comes to realize just how many have been disenfranchised by the existent order. During his lonely battles through a land haunted by the restless dead and ancient magics, his journey becomes increasingly strange and personal.Enter a realm where the dead stir in every shadow and brooding demigods wage a millennia long war for a ruined heaven, where blessed knights wield gilded flames and sorcerers battle with weapons forged of their own souls. Enter a world of faustian alchemists, of saintly demons, and of time-weary elves.From Oathbreaker you can expect— A setting heavily inspired by Forgotten Realms, Planescape, Fromsoft games, and authors such as Michael Moorcock and Kentauro Miura. — A first person POV from an older protagonist who already knows a lot about his world’s history and cultures, who shares this information with the reader as it becomes relevant.— A mix of action adventure and quieter moments where the focus is on character development. Lore is shared piecemeal, usually only as it relates to a particular arc or character beat.— A heavy focus on mystery, both with the setting and the protagonist. The main character’s backstory isn’t shared up front, and a lot of the narrative involves learning about him a bit at a time, either from his own narration or other characters interacting with him.— A semi-soft magic system where many mages manifest unique powers tied to their own soul, or gain unique powers through eldritch pacts.— Romantic elements. These don’t crop up much until later in the story.— A variety of supernatural beings, such as elves, vampires, gargoyles, chimera, and trolls. Many are familiar, some are not, and most of the familiar ones have my own twists put on them.—Nobledark fantasy. This means that the world is often themed around tragedy and horror, but it’s not dedicated to being gritty. There are elements of high fantasy intermixed with the scarier stuff.—Episodic arcs. Each story arc usually has a specific locale and antagonist or set of antagonists, but certain overarching plots tie them together.— A long running narrative. I don’t have a specific projection of how long or how many arcs or books, but you should expect this to be equivalent to a long running serialized work.This is my first web serial! I hope everyone enjoys it. For trigger warnings, readers should beware that there are some heavy topics in here. When I think something might upset certain readers, I’ll put a warning in the author notes above a chapter. If I miss or overlook anything, feel free to let me know in the comments! I am currently publishing the same story on my wordpress, which is linked below and in my profile. I release three chapters a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Thanks for reading!(I originally had a link to a wordpress, but I'm in the process of overhauling that space. It's not a priority since my readership is all here, but just in case anyone noticed and was wondering)

Revenge

In the desolate backyard, the sister-in-law was lying on the ground in ragged clothes, looking at the brightly dressed woman surrounded by people on the porch with red eyes: “Ma Ningyue, you framed me, you will die!”

She smiled slightly: “Look at what my sister said, why don’t I understand at all? Since I married into the palace, I have devoted my heart and soul to my sister. My sister is empty and lonely. I will find some men for my sister; my sister’s drug addiction broke out. , I sent Wushi powder to my sister; it is not convenient for my sister to serve my brother-in-law, so I found a few maids for my brother-in-law… In this world, is there any younger sister who is as considerate as me?”

The concubine’s lungs were about to explode, and she wanted to kill her with a sword, but she didn’t even have the strength to stand up, so she had to bow her head in resignation, and big tears rolled down her face: “Let me go… Please, Let me go…”

“Let you go?” A gorgeous smile appeared on her clear face, “For the sake of our sisters, here is a divorce paper, take it.”

Sister Shu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she was finally able to leave this devilish place! You can finally start a new life!

“However, it’s not yours, it’s Auntie’s.”

The concubine fell from heaven to hell in an instant!

She smiled sweetly and said: “My aunt has been dismissed from the house by my father.”

“Ma Ningyue, she is your aunt!”

“Yes, yes, she is my aunt. She crawled on my father’s bed, killed my brother, plotted against my mother, and sold me to others to pave the way for you. I remember all of these! She is old and has bad legs. , I was afraid that she would die of starvation and freezing to death outside, so I specially found a good place for her, where she can eat a bowl of bad rice as a coolie for six hours a day, how about it, isn’t it good?”

The concubine was trembling with anger, every blood vessel seemed to be twisted: “Ma Ningyue, don’t be too arrogant, my brother is a son-in-law…”

She smiled coldly: “My brother is gone, will I let your brother live?”

Sister Shu was so angry that she passed out!
