    Chaos filled the world¡¯s most popular MMORPG "World" chat. A figure with long black hair was sitting in front of its PC; the PC didn''t look old or new, it looked normal. However, what didn¡¯t look normal was the gamer''s hand speed, accuracy, and flawless rhythm; it was so graceful that it left afterimages. His hand movements had no sign of crudeness or clumsiness. In front of him was an ever spinning screen, changing rapidly and abruptly from first person (fp) to third person (tp) without any warning, but if this show of skill made anyone dizzy and numb, then one would feel cold sweat dripping down his back when the screen paused on an incredible image: a mob of 300 players, 1000 dark soul soldiers and one gigantic dragon overlord fighting in a battle royale, human archers killing both devil soldiers* by raining arrows on the beasts, dark purple golems* tanking the dragon and fighting the humans, while the huge monstrosity was sweeping left and right with its cold sharp fangs. The battlefield was a symphony orchestrated by mages and archers, warriors and paladins, beasts and golems, creating a magnificent balance in the chaos. Holy lights and dragon breaths illuminated the scene, frost arrows and fireballs exploded like fireworks, but this balance was fated to be broken by the one and only...balance breaker.

    *******

    "Hey, did you finish the mob at your end?" I asked

    "Why are you using complex expressions while talking?"

    "Don''t know,¡± I said, ¡°just answer me."

    "Well then, I lost the chance to say this, but whatever, "hmph, took you long enough, I finished long ago."" She said with a change in tone.

    "Okay, whatever, just don''t be stuck at 150 for life; it''s tiring waiting for you."

    "But... but it''s too hard. Grinding through one billion exp is idiotic; who the heck designed this game?¡± she replied, ¡°ah, in fact, I know, probably someone as crazy as you, grindphile."

    "Being crazy suits me just fine."

    "Tch, you''re no fun."

    The girl in front of me is Miyuki, a blonde haired, tsundere-in-preparation, beauty with luscious roun-. You know what? I''m not going to shit myself describing her, just insert whatever stereotypical character you have in mind and it would do the trick, okay? Sigh. Let me give her some credit: she is smart, well smart is kinda relative, so if I say she is smart, you can think of her as a world class genius who can become the richest in the game in the span of 6 months and notice all the game mechanics in double the time I spent. Hey, I''m a monster, so it''s not fair to compare with me.

    Now let''s talk about the main dish; the person who shocked the world over and over with his talents; the one who surpassed the boundaries of Darwin''s theory. Me- Oniyama.

    Yeah, you noticed it right. My name is evil, no matter what way you look at it and I admit that whoever named me must be a crazy good fortune teller as, even I, can''t think of a better name. To put it bluntly, I''m an asshat; if I see someone about to be crushed by a car, I would spit in his face... Well, there is a reason for that; I got sued by a fucking asshole who I saved just because I broke his ankle while saving him, so I guess this example doesn''t count. Now for the next example, if I saw someone get bullied, guess what I¡¯ll do? Yeah you guessed right, I would join the fun... Sigh, there is a reason for that too; a long time ago, I saved the sorry ass of an idiot snotty boy and after I hoped everything was finished, I got framed as the bully. Thinking back, I really wasn''t some kind of devil; maybe I was just a misunderstood philanthropist who didn''t know what was happening around him, an innocent soul going with the flow, a fucking handsome one at that.

    Well, that was the past me; the sad one who had many social interactions repeated over and over like an NPC dialogue until one day when I saw the truth of this world.

    Many fictional novels talk about traumas and shit, but that''s just some random BS people spout when they have the same amount of knowledge toward the subject as the amount of fucks I give to the world. Let me tell you how to become like me; the secret is as follows...

    You get up and wait for the school bus. On the way to the school, remember the rough draft of the discussion you heard, the talk you had, and, generally, everything that happened that day. The next day, you do the same thing and notice that nothing has changed. Repeat this process countless time... At some point, something will snap on your mind and you will think ''fuck this shit, I''m out!!!!¡¯

    It''s just that I did what I said above unconsciously, so I¡¯m bound to be more stable than someone who forced himself.

    As many should have concluded, I treat people as NPCs. I don''t really give a damn about relationships, they can come and go like the wind. I don''t evade interactions, but I''m not searching nor trying to keep them either.

    But enough of the gloomy talk, let''s talk about... games. Ah, games, best thing this shitty world has ever created, always coming with more challenge and always satisfying my ego. Now, even the world¡¯s most popular MMORPG has been conquered by me; they gave me some chuunibiyou names like balance breaker because of that final battle. In fact, it''s simple to be as good as me; you just need my wits and will for character build and a normal strategy to win against all odds. So first things first, let''s talk about the game itself.

    This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

    AlphaRealm Online surpassed Dofus, Wakfu, Black Desert, Guild wars 2, world pf warcraft and League of Legends (I know it''s a moba, but whatever). Its popularity went past impossible margins to the point it made the heads of every economist go numb, but it did, in truth, deserve it for its impossibly good graphics, mobility, and lack of lag. It also attracted many users because of its diverse combat gameplay, as it takes every imaginable place as a battlefield: be it the far horizon, the deep ocean, or the unfathomable space; there are always quests to complete and monsters to hunt. There is even a heaven map and a hell map for the fans, but they kinda don''t matter. Now, many would be thinking, ''how in hell does that even matter for the problem at hand.'' For those guys, I would first say "Shut the fuck up. I do what I want," and second "Wait for me to finish dumbasses."(Sorry, but it''s Oni-chan, not me). So, yeah. This kind of world that gives complete maneuverability is the best to grind one''s skills. You can go from a super noob to a super expert in matter of few months. Well, that''s if you have a high ability to adapt, but whatever. Afterwards, it only comes down to what quests to do, what player to scam, and when to kill steal (ks). Then you''re done; now you have a crazy avatar.

    Well, I believe I made you wait long enough. Let the battle royale guide begin.

    First off, if you''re battling two armies and a huge beast, wait until the beast''s hp is at 15% to start. If it''s a normal three way fight with all armies, wait until one army has 15% total hp.

    Next, target the weakest army, never the best. When you target the weakest enemy, the other army will think of this as an opportunity to kill them in one fell swoop. Of course, they won''t put their guard up against you and that''s when they became dumb. Backstab them and kill as many as you can. The weakest army will be confused for a second, but they¡¯ll remember that you killed some of them and they will try to kill you. If they don''t, then that''s for the best, but it''s unlikely. Now that they are both trying to kill you, start buying as much time as you can before fleeing. The stronger army will definitely backstab the weakest and kill them in one fell swoop, but they will find a nice surprise afterward.

    Third, the general of the stronger army will notice, after the initial celebration, that his army isn''t as strong as it used to be. While he was fighting against you and the other army, the beast wasn''t just standing there dumbstruck; it killed as much as it could in its berserk mode. The angry general curses both you and fate for his stupid mistake, but even if he didn''t focus on you, the result would have been the same. After the general notices his mistake, he will try to hurry and finish off the beast who has 8% hp left now, so that when you try to ambush him, he will still have enough men. As the beast''s hp reaches 3% you should start ambushing the army. At this point, they should be 70-80 man strong. You start killing a path from the beast to the general. Of course, the old fox will know what you''re trying to do and he will change the formation accordingly, but by doing so he will switch from an offensive formation to a defensive one, a stupid move when you''re against an overpowering enemy with 30-40 men. At this point, the beast will probably go insane and use an aoe ultimate skill. You, predicting this outcome, will get the hell out the moment you notice a change in pattern. After the aoe the army is no more and you can go kill the beast that¡¯s stuck doing an aoe skill with only 1-2% hp left.

    End of the guide.

    Ah, now that I think about it, I should really have written some kind of guide. I would have definitely struck it rich, but whatever, I''ll do that in the next update. Speaking about the next update, maybe I should go buy a new PC; this one is probably not gonna cut it with the massiveness of the next patch.

    "Eh, Miyuki, I''ll be going for a stroll."

    "Ah, okay, Oni-chan."

    "Stupid jokes will always be stupid jokes. Whatever I''m going now. I hope I won''t meet truck-chan on the way."

    I definitely should not have said that. Just as I went out of the house, a random idiotic robber bumped into me. With noises and cries in the background, I thought, as the image of a truck got closer, ''What a clich¨¦ and rushed way of dying. Come on god, you''re better than this right. Oh wells, to those other noobs in the back... it might be a cool one... NO WHAT THE HELL, THIS IS TOO RUSHED FOR GOD''S SAKE!!!!! PLEASE AT LEAST DESCRIBE MY LAST MOMENTS PROPERLY AUTHOOOOORRRRRR!!!!!''

    And as darkness engulfed me bit by bit, a warm sensation surged from my core. They say death''s hands are cold, but the hands I''m feeling now are definitely not.

    "Welcome to my domain, billions of earthlings. I am god. And I''m here to offer you a chance."

    Damn you fucker, couldn''t you have waited for me to finish my supposed last words.

 Chapter 2 gods library

    Sorry for the jarring changes of pov and styles you guys will experience. I tried editing and I messed up. Check last post to understand.

    Ch 2

    As all the gas like forms in front of Oniyama flailed around randomly, shouting in panic while the random blurred god was standing high in the sky after dropping the bomb on everyone, Oniyama was thinking.

    Okay, let''s organize our thought process-

    "What''s going on?!"

    Everyone is in a state of panic, dammit. Wait, this guy called himself god before, right? He also said something about the summoning, is this the legendary hero summoning every novel in existence write about-

    "Mommy" A little girl cried, as everyone was but a blurry deformed gas figure, one couldn¡¯t see here. But from her cries and unsteady, hasty steps one could imagine her frantically crying rivers of tears as she searched for her mom.

    No, in here there is people of all ages. From what I can see, there is at least a couple millions of them as I see no end. So this is not a hero summoning, unless every creature in earth was one. So wait, why did this guy-

    "Impossible!!"

    Maybe, just maybe this is a test. Wait, what are the other possibilities, I can''t corner myself with just one idea and be stuck with it. There is the possibility of being some sort of problem in our universe, but then... why would god even care, there is countless other than ours if I believe the black hole theories-

    "What kind of joke is this?!!" An angry large man shouted.

    Ah, everyone is in a state of panic. I can''t even see their faces as we''re all just random gazes meshed together. For some reason, no one is merging with anyone. Oh well, wait... wait, wait, wait. If this is a test, no, it doesn''t matter if it isn''t. This god guy already said that we are given a new chance. A new chance to what, to live? If that''s the case, aren''t the probabilities of this being the prologue of a reincarnation extremely high right now. Then, ah dammit. Those fuckers will come.

    "Maybe this is the so called community dream. "

    "That''s harsh bastard. They''re already dead, no need for further help." said Oniyama under his breath.

    Ah, humans are always like this: greedy, ugly and selfish. They would destroy you even if it means their doom. Sigh, dammit. Now, whoever heard him is sure to be hypnotized. Another "quality" of these creatures we call humans is that they are so fragile, they can easily be emotionally swayed. I too, was that way...

    "Maybe he is right. I also heard about that."

    And here goes nothing.

    "Guys, please do as this god say and choose a leader. We need someone to guide us so that we keep our rights"

    The bullshit is coming. Here we go once again.

    "Guys, we just need to go with the flow. We''ll eventually wake up."

    Is this a plagiary of the first guy? Haha, stupid humans.

    " HERECTICS!!!! GOD IS LOWERING HIS ALMIGHTY SELF TALKING WITH YOU AND YOU IGNORE HIM!!!!"

    Wow, that was pretty good. A religious faction now, I''m impressed.

    ..

    "Silence!! I, your god have given you a new chance. Earthlings!! You, have lived thousands of years believing you''re unique. That there is no other sentient being in existence other than you. Some of you even denied the fact that divinity exist. But the Almighty one and only god decided to give you another chance. His almighty self decided to reincarnate you. But not only that, he also gave you unlimited access to the godly library for 30 years. Strive for power, and shock the worlds!! For now, you''re dismissed."

    As the pseudo god finished speaking, everyone was utterly confused. The mist surrounding them in this white space was finally lifted to let everyone see a magnificent, immense golden white dome. For some reason the misty floor stayed the way it was, blank and dirty white. In front of the impossibly huge mass of gazes was the impossibly big dome and behind them was but white nothingness. But Oniyama didn''t care about that much. As he and another couple thousand people rushed inside, leaving the other dumbstruck idiots still believing they are in a dream. Some might think that if one stayed close to that god, he might get some benefits. Plus when everything is said and done, everyone still have a whole 30 year to get done with the info search thingy.

    Well first: If you were to try starting a conversation with that bastard god, you''ll only get your ass kicked and soul shattered. As it''s obvious that he is only a steward for a greater entity. Probably some kind of godly organization or sect. Couple that with his inferiority complexes and you got yourself a perfect example of a fucker.

    Second: while the stay in here will be 30 years for everyone. We don''t know if there are several copies of the same book in the library. If by chance it wasn''t the case, the situation that will arise is pretty obvious. The truly useful ones will be picked up first, and will stay on the possession of the first owner the whole stay. No one want the others to have the same advantages as him. This is how humans always were, selfish, greedy and hypocritical.

    Well for Oniyama, he is mostly doing this because it''s gonna be a rare currency in after some time pass, thus it will give him multiple benefits. So being the first to start the search is a must. He also need to leave the rest by a large gap. I mean, hey, this is a dome meant for 7 billion people to fit in comfortably, one can only imagine how big it must be. So it''s extremely easy for one to just lose his time being lost. If he just ignored this opportunity, how will he face himself in the future. Plus, he like being solo. So trying to get as much stuff as he can is a must. No one know when an economy will actually be "created", so he need to get as much material as he can.

    As the leading pack entered through the door. The several kilometers wide, half moon shaped entry caught Oniyama''s breath. Endless charm and prestige was given to it by a holy luster. In fact, just this one door''s charm was so divine, that even the heavenly palace from the legend will pale in comparison. Probably the work of this one true god''s aura.

    "Hello and welcome ladies and gentlemen, I''m the a.i. created by god master, type: info giver, code name: Yuki"

    This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

    ''The references here have been so obvious and forced, that I can only sigh in disappointment at this one true god''

    "Master created me for the sole purpose of serving you chosens. I have been waiting for you! If you need any kind of information, you only need to think about it and I''ll give you what you need" the voice could be heard from everywhere, so no one could pinpoint where it came from. But from the tone, I could tell that it was a female''s

    ''What kind of infos are you eligible to give me'' Oniyama formulated his thoughts as fast as he could. ''I already wasted so much seconds gasping in awe. Can''t waste anymore.'' Or so he thought.

    ''Everything but infos consisting of the working of the system, or things that I don''t know''

    ''Ok. Can you please give me some basic information about the world we will be reincarnating into.''

    "Ok"

    ''Success''

    "So, the world you, and the rest of the chosens are going to reincarnate into is called, as easy as it might sound "The World", not really too fancy right. Well that''s kind of misleading. "The world" is the name of the whole universe. But for your planet''s name, that can be left for later.

    And as you might or not have guessed, it''s a world where the strong is right, and the weak is wrong. A martial cultivation world that your kind surprisingly predicted. The rank are as follow

    Baby stage 1 ->10

    Adult stage 1->10

    Martial practitioner stage 1->10

    Martial expert stage 1->10

    Fundamental Building stage 1->10

    Core holder stage 1->10

    For the rest of the ranks it doesn''t really matter too much as you''ll know when you get there. There is also another way to get stronger other than qi cultivating, and that''s by being a mental formation master. The levels here are less complicated than before as there is no real cap. You can just go from lvl 1 to infinity, but that doesn''t really mean anything as the best formation or array master is only at level 50, and that''s after living for 2 million years. Of course these information are only specified to your universe. In other ones there is obviously stronger array masters.

    There is also many other way of cultivation. But those are too mysterious, and more importantly, incomplete. So you could just not consider them if you want."

    "... is that all?" Said Oniyama a little bit disappointed.

    "Well, I could go on forever talking about the politics of this world. How the world is divided, and whatever historical event that happened for the past whatever millenniums you want. But are you sure? You''re gonna know about this either way when you reincarnate"

    "Hmm true, it''s gonna take long, so please tell me where the soul related techniques are first. And if I need to satisfy some requirements before practicing them. Only then can you continue with the history lesson. Or is it that there is no actual technique in that world"

    "In fact, they do exist. As for the soul secret technique department, it''s 100 kilometers from here to the left. And for the needing to satisfy some prerequisites part. Well you can do that there. As those are mostly just the ¡°needing to master a certain technique¡± type of prerequisites, or be powerful to a certain degree type of requirements."

    "Thanks, but that doesn¡¯t say anything as there are hundreds of floors, so which one"

    "All of them"

    "... Well that explain quite a bit of things"

    As Oniyama ran through the endless corridors subdividing the dome, while she endlessly talked about the history of my to be homeland, he recalled the information I got from that discussion earlier. He usually do it this way so that he get a complete final conclusion.

    ''So first, this a.i. isn''t simply an info giver, but also an info holder, what do I mean by that? Well it''s pretty simple. If it was but an info giver, every answer she would have can be summarized in four words "this book is there". But she gave information on the world that I will be reincarnated into, infos that she normally shouldn''t have had, meaning she is not just a library a.i., but either a game master or a copy of a game master.

    Second, she has free will, I asked her to give me infos about "The World", and she chose to stop when she wanted. Not because of the system apparently, as she continued when I told her to do so.

    Third. One should never ask direct question like "Can you please give all the infos about the fire techniques", that would just lead to a bug, that will on its turn result in a warning and a system update. I will experiment on that afterward. As for how did I know that. It''s pretty simple. If it were me, I would have done it this way.

    Fourth. Slip tongues aren''t counted on the red zone, as she gave me information about the cultivation world without me telling her to do so.

    Fifth. Using questions like "would it be wrong if you help me understand this?" is best when trying to get infos about the system without triggering a bug. but they can''t be overused as this place is created by god, and not normal developers.

    And so, we can conclude that this one true god give ways to bypass the system without being lazy. As it will be no challenge. Here is a new info about OTG.''

    As Oniyama''s inner monologue continued, the duo approached the soul department, Yuki was still talking about how the loyal general Asgard turned to be a treacherous enemy spy who killed thousands of people dethroning the king and dumping the power behind him. He gained the "loyalty" of the numerous organizations such as the assassin''s and merchant''s guild given to him by the other country.

    ********

    Well, it seems that even after all the editing I made, word still found enough to cover the whole page LOL.

    Well, i''ll be having all these chapters go through word check for now. For the more complicated mistakes which word can''t notice......we''ll leave that until later

 Chapter 3

    Ch 3

    ''Whoa! As excepted. This scenery is really breathtaking, but guess that''s to be expected of this one true god guy''

    What Oni-chan said, in fact could at best be called a huge understatement. Putting in a bad way, it would be just complete bullshitting. As even without describing how finely structured and decorated is every inch of this 200 mile radius department. Just imagining 100 floors of books put together will make anyone gasp a cold breath

    ''Well, I''m not here for sightseeing, let''s see..''

    "Yuki-chan, Is there any soul strengthening secret technique here. If so, please tell me also whatever technique that may go together as a support with this kind of martial art."

    "Hmm, yeah, in fact there is a countless number of them. But judging from the way you talked, I can guess that you want the best one even though it comes with its risks. And you want me to help you by pointing out books that will help you dramatically reduce the side effects, right?"

    "Well, yeah. That''s right. But wow, you really understand things rapidly. At least with this I can just shorten conversations that should take a whole five minutes to a sentence."

    "No please don''t do that. It will be very tiring. Now let''s return to the subject.

    Well there is one technique or maybe two that come to mind. In fact you can just think of them as a set, since they work together pretty well. They are called "Extreme Soul Purify" and "Extreme Soul Enhance". But to be able to master them, you need to also learn some soul adaptation methods like "Zen" or "Chinese meditation". I for one would recommend the trilogy of the Soul Lord, as it basically sum up the multiple kind of adaptation methods existing across the multiuniverse."

    "Hmm, it would be kind of interesting to know why would someone bother writing this kind of experience in a book."

    "Yeah, he did it for his lost clan. As this one was well versed in soul meditation methods, making them produce world shaking geniuses constantly. But like you should have guessed by now, their kingdom betrayed them. Because of paranoid and greed, multiple clans and families crumbled. It''s the same story with this clan. Sigh, when those two cursed emotions combine, it always spell a tragedy."

    "Yeah, I kinda know that better than most, but whatever, cough..cough, so where were the books again"

    "The 56th floor, 720 meters to your right."

    "Thanks."

    ******

    As I started reading the trilogy, I noticed that some words are "brighter" than others. I mean, when you open the book, the first thing you see are those words. So the curious me asked if these words are some kind of base or check point. As every text between two "bright" words explain the former of the two. These words don''t need to be some conceptual ones like "Equality" or "Democracy", but can be adverbs or adjectives or even pronouns. The text afterward will give insights on when, where, how, what and why are those verbs used. When I told Yuki about that she laughed, and just said that it''s just some basic understanding.

    Damn, this is the first time that I''m made fun of,. Remember this day a.i. number 01, there will come a day where I''ll repay today''s favor a hundred fold.

    "Well, if I were you I would prefer to start practicing rather than spouting nonsense. Those other idiots won''t just wait for you finishing your drama"

    ''Damn! Did i just do something I hated in every novel''s MC, this me! Impossible! Can''t believe it!!... Sigh, before I have mental breakdown, I think it would be better to start forging my soul first.

    ...

    In the blink of an eye, one year already passed. At first, when I got those two techniques. Yuki told me that it might be better to start purifying my soul before starting enhancing it. A kinda pointless statement as I would have done that either way, wait... is there even someone idiot enough to do it backward, I mean seriously? Just thinking about it for a second will let you tell that it will be incomparably more difficult.

    If you start purifying while your soul is already the size of a planet. Just how much time, pain and effort will you need to spend to do that? Either way, it seems that as expected, my talent in this field is monstrous. But how would it be otherwise.

    There is another way to say "Soul talent". It''s basically just how clever you are, and how much experience do you have? Can someone beat an out casted gamer, who constantly think about the meaning of life, and sharpen his mind with strategy games. Making even supposedly pay to win game free to play. That''s an achievement few in history would have dared to be cold about.

    That''s why in this twelve months, Oniyama already half finished the trilogy and already purified his soul to an impossible to reach level. But the quantity is still quite low, so it can''t really be compared to those immortals of the legends, I mean, hey? He doesn''t have the support of their qi cultivation level. Neither their never ending pills. He could create those pills in the time he have left. But it will be kind of pointless, as those immortals already have ridiculous grandmasters alchemist by their side, and in these 30 years, even if we consider the possibility of him having the talent of one true god himself. He will barely be able to do that.

    This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

    That''s why Oni put that as a secondary objective, and concentrated on making his soul familiar with every element in existence, how? Well he just bunched up all basic elemental skills and created some dummies who will turn the infinite yuan qi in the air to pseudo harmless elemental energy. The reason why it''s just pseudo and not truly harmless energy. It''s that even with all the preparation he made, wishing to die from pain is a natural result for anyone who try something this reckless.

    And for why didn''t he just focus on one element at a time. It would have been way more effective and less painful. The answer to that should be: Does he look like someone who have the time for that? It''s pretty normal that he would familiarize himself that way as it will be an automatic process. But if he start giving every single element the focus that he need, how will he get any advantages over others?

    First and foremost, he should get his basics down, and have a rough understanding on how to proceed when he will start cultivation on the true world. Only then will he have a head start compared to others, for how will he do that? It''s pretty simple.

    He only need to acquire knowledge from books talking about the experiences of those immortal experts. and couple that with his own personal experience, both theorical and the practical one. And that''s exactly what he is trying to do as he finally succeeded in making a mortal body that will host his soul for the next 30 years. I mean, he can''t just start cultivating in his random gas form, right?

    In this one year, Oni chan accumulated far more knowledge on the human body than any kind of best doctor in earth.... Well he kind of already had his basic down from back in his past life, coupled with the unlimited knowledge he have access to. It would have indeed been pretty weird if he didn''t.

    "Finally, I''m done with this, it really took up quite a bit of time, Now I can finally start cultivating, Yahoo!!!!"

    No one can really blame Oni for his outburst. As the feeling he has right now, is the same as when you level up after 3 month of grind. A feeling of immense satisfaction.

    "Oh well, no need to be too excited, my first objective is strengthening my soul, now we will know what kind of benefit will it have on my talent"

    The reason why Oni was so obsessed about his soul is pretty simple. When he will reincarnate, what will be the thing that will pass over? Unless you have a profound case of retardness, you would have answered "his soul". And damn, you are right. The only thing that will always let him be what he is, is his soul. And not even the supposed one true god will change that. As it is written within the basic rules of the world(world is in this case used, in his general meaning, like the multiuniverse, but a tad bit bigger, as it kinda cover up all existence), so if he was gonna waste his time doing something, it would be better if he train his soul.

    Of course, he wouldn''t just forget everything else. But it doesn''t matter as the process of purifying his soul with his inner flame, and enhancing it with soul force, is a repetitive and automatic process. So while not as effective as focused one, automatic training still bring much benefit. The proof to that would be that if his soul wasn''t as strong as it is now. He will be like the other idiots still thinking of a way to start cultivating with no head or tail on how to start.

    "Form before your master, vessel of the apocalypse, death harbinger, MY PERSONNA!!"

    As Oni-chan finished chanting, a cluster of bone and dust started spiraling before him. As time passed, a handsome black haired, blue eyed, sharp nosed figure started appearing from head to foot. The body in front of him was that of 197cm tall, slim, with well defined muscles man. The ears were a little bit pointy making one think of the legendary elf race. While the black wings in his back will make one confused, as such a contrast shouldn''t happen. Because of the eternal war between elves and demons.

    "I guess I kind of overdid it, but the inside is the same as that of a human, so it doesn''t matter. Plus it''s cool, so it''s a thumbs up on that. Also, is it just me, or did I use the word ¡®kinda¡¯ way too many times¡­ oh well, whatever"

    As Oniyama finally finished his nonsense, his golden soul started entering the vessel at an extremely slow pace. It''s not until 2 hours later did last speck of his soul enter "his head".

    Guys I''ll edit later, now I''m just too tired to do so (wanted to post at least one chapter before new year)

    Ps: it''s 23.30 here

    Finally edited it. Yeah the later mentioned meant 25 days from now(or before, I don''t really know) lol

    Ps: sorry guys. When I reread this chapter, I noticed how much of a spit to the face it was. I can''t believe I had to edit every sentence. Wow

 Chapter 4 Cold

    Ch 4

    "Cold... this place is cold... why is this darkness engulfing me... why is there no one beside me... is this really how it''s supposed to be... cold... this place is.. cold."

    ******

    ''Sneeze'' " I didn''t know that I was this popular, so that even in death someone talk about me.

    "Oh, well, now that I finally adapted to this body, let''s start cultivating... but first let me do some tests"

    As Oni said this, miniscule traces of qi started entering his body through his pores, but this seemingly harmless energy, produced soul crushing pain throughout his body, the kind of pain even someone who struck by lightning twice in a row, would shiver just thinking about it, but who was Oniyama? Was he someone who will give up just because of some little pain, his pride as the number one gamer in the world wouldn''t let him even if he wanted (total bs here, he is now crying like a bitch, but let''s save him some face), this kind of deep rooted arrogance wasn''t something that physical pain can subdue. As time passed, the originally thin as hair channels, widened one step at a time. At first, the pain was extremely intolerable, but afterward, his meridian and pathways adapted, and while the process was certainly still painful, it''s worlds apart from where he first started.

    "Sigh, finally finished, Damn! I did think it would be an arduous task, but for it to be this nerve wrenching, the bastard who made this system was certainly an S one.

    "Well, since we finished opening the first pathways, we might as well start cultivating now."

    As Oni mumbled his chant, multiple white specks started surrounding him, as if attracted by a magnet. These specks, while twinkling like stars from afar, were in fact full of impurity, and that''s why Oniyama wasted two hours for each cluster, refining them. The result was as predicted. The strands of qi were still full of impurity. Not as much as they were before, but still. However this problem wasn''t something he needed to worry about right now. As even if he accumulate tremendous amounts of impure qi, he can still return later to refine them. And so continued his "life" for the amount of time he had left in the library.

    In those 29 years, Oniyama experienced multiple challenge in his path of cultivation. Of course, he didn''t forget about his soul, and trained constantly. He even wasted 2 years on it, just because his soul reached such a high level that it couldn''t be refined nor familiarized with elements, while leaving his training on auto-combat mode (a reference for browser games players). That period of time was probably the most painful and mentally stressful one, as it''s a known fact that the soul is the most fragile part of a being. But the results were well worth it, as his soul already surpassed the core holder realm by at least two levels.

    For the array master part, Oniyama already reached the 19th level, coupled with his peak core holder cultivation level, the destructive potential he have is impossible to imagine, truly heaven breaking and earth shattering. The reason, why his achievements in the array master part is way higher than cultivation, is the fact that his body is rapidly decaying, his meridians are already half shattered, and his channels are one push away from turning into dust, but that''s to be expected. Even if he had knowledge enabling him to create a body, that doesn''t mean he have the capacity to create meridians and channels able to escape the chains of time, and withstand the force of heavenly qi, if he could do that, wouldn''t he be able to stand head to head against god, if it is just medicinal knowledge?

    The most important benefit he got from those 30 years, wasn''t in term of power of soul, or cultivation and formation master level, yes true, going through those level in real world afterward will be a breeze as he won''t have any bottleneck. But that''s not the best thing he got, what was, were the profound insights in the laws of the elements. For the twenty years of life he passed on earth, Oniyama was mostly wasting his time contemplating and comprehending the laws of life, on why did things turn out as they did, and why is he always disappointed. But in this life, Oniyama knew that such questions are pointless, as whoever have the stronger fist rule, so why should he think about those things, shouldn''t he focus more on how to change his life... Like heck. Things like those are easier said than done, comprehending the law of the universe basically became a part of his daily routine. But not being able to stop himself from doing so doesn''t mean he can''t change his hobby to something that will help him in his plans, thus our current situation..

    ''Finally reached the "one with space" stage, sigh, this one really took up quite a bit of time, so let me recall. I now have mastered the 5 basic elements, space, a little bit of comprehension toward time, and gave birth to 5 fusioned elements, which are:

    lightning(fire + metal)

    Wood(earth + water)

    Mist(water + fire)

    Ice(wind + water)

    Magma(earth + fire)

    ...

    Yeah, totally something that I will conviently think, when I just finished my training''

    "The 30 years access has been finished, it was great serving you master." (Yuki)

    "It was my pleasure. But Yuki, we have been with each other the past 30 years, but I still didn''t get the honor to see you, don''t you think it''s a little rude letting me just talk with just a voice" (Onliyama)

    "Master, I would have loved to.. but I can''t comply with your request.. at least not yet.." (Yuki)

    "I see, so you also have to fight your own battle. In that case, I won''t say any cheesy line, but just promise me to win no matter what" (Oniyama)

    "That''s already a fact, don''t worry" (Yuki)

    "... that was a dead flag, yeah, just right there.." (Oniyama)

    "Euuh? Ahh!! What should I do?" (Yuki)

    "Don''t worry, mentioning the death flag, nullify it" (Oniyama)

    "Sigh, I felt like my heart have stopped beating." (Yuki)

    "Chuckle"

    "Hey! You just laughed right there, right? You definitely did!!!" (Yuki)

    "It seems that all this death flag thing took a toll on your mind, just rest, and you''ll certainly be better" (Oniyama)

    "Don''t try fooling me! Wait, that''s not most important, How can you be so shameless!!! Your ability to turn black to white, and white to black in a instant, basically rival those bad princes from the novels." (Yuki)

    "I will take that as a compliment. Oh! Well, it seems that I overused your hospitality, for the library itself to teleport me." (Oniyama)

    As Oniyama said that final line, his body as if a mist, started disappearing, like if it was never there.

    "Cold..."

    ********

    Hi, Author here, as you might have noticed, I''m basically Mr. Noob author, my grammar is half decent at best, and my use of punctuation is terrible, so I would be forever grateful, if you could point out my mistakes(I know there are too much to count, but pls I''m begging you T-T)

    Ps: on another note, you sure have noticed that I was talking about something is cold or whatever right. The reason for that is that it''s extremely cold here, and being close to the beach doesn''t really help it ( no I''m joking, the reason will be clarified afterward), so yeah good afternoon to you , or whatever, I''m just saying good afternoon because it''s afternoon on where I''m at.

 Chapter 5

    Pov random guy

    My name is Mashihiko, and like the whole population of earth, I got dragged up on this messed up insanity. I lived my whole life as society wanted, I had no conflict with anyone, and lived the fullifying life my parents and society promised me. If I were to describe myself, I would say that I''m normal, just your average 165cm tall, a little bit fat and unhealthy looking worker. There was nothing important enough to write stories about on my school life, a normal guy with average score, no fancy ideas in his head, and just some bruises in his body from bullying, but those guys got what they deserved, as no one of them got any good career, just let them rot on their mafia shady business. Hope police catch them soon, so that I can see them suffering.

    All in all, my life has been as boring as it can get, but that changed,.... for the worse. As I were going back from work late at night, I saw some guys talking in a civilized manner about some last game or whatever, so as the good citizen that I am, went to instruct them on how such hobbies will burden them, and that it''s idiotic to play games at their age (all in all, he was just laughing his ass off on them), but how could I have predicted that they will just ignore me, such rudeness. As I was just about to rebuke them on their manners, I noticed from the side of my vision a truck rapidly approaching them, I tried shouting at them, but the words didn''t come out, I tried running to push them, but my feet wouldn''t budge, at the end I just thought that they deserved it. It¡¯s karma playing its role, who am I to stop it?! But if someone were to tell me at that moment what would happen next, never in hell would I have believed him. The truck that was about to crush the poor guys into meat plop, suddenly shifted its position and turned toward me. I didn''t even have the time to contemplate my death before darkness engulfed me. ¡®What an unfair death¡¯ were my last thoughts.

    "Welcome to my domain billions of earthlings, I''m your god, and I''m here to offer you another chance."

    "Huh?"

    "You lots have died, your entire race exterminated from the universe, but worry not as you will have another chance."

    "Huh? What is this guy saying, is he nuts? But true, normally I did die, but then... how?"

    "Guys, I think this is the so called collective dream, it''s extremely rare, but it''s the only logical answer."

    Within the numerous cries, I heard that voice, yeah, it''s true, I did indeed read something about that, normally it would end in some few hours. Oh well, that guy seem intelligent, and have more capacities, it will be better to stick up with him, right?

    After that, an impossibly enormous crowd of what I think was souls, flooded the surrounding of the charismatic voice. He also looked like a randomly put together colorful gazs, but I''m sure that if we take off that cover, we will see the charming figure of a handsome leader (funny how he take the soul as the cover and the body as the core).

    "Guys, like I said before, this is possibly a collective dream, drawn from our collective consciousness, I too didn''t believe it before, but compared with the other only possibility, it''s much more logical and believable, I mean who would believe that everyone on earth died?"

    As the charismatic soul finished its speech, laughers filled the area, I too did the same, as first: it helped extinguishing the feeling of anxiousness, and second: why would I go and try being different than the mass? Illogical.

    "Please, be quiet, if one million soul start laughing at once, you can imagine how loud it will be.

    So like I said before, the chances of us really being dead doesn''t even exist. I''m saying this so that you wouldn''t misunderstand what I''m about to say. When you''re in a collective dream, the risk of backlash is monstrously high, so by no mean go against the courant, I hope that I''m clear enough, whatever that pseudo god say, you do it, else there is a high chance of forceful disconnection, which in best case will make you a retard, worst case, well you can more or less guess what it is. So with this said I hope that we will have some fun with each others before going on our ways. And in this short lapse of time, please consider my suggestions for yours and our security."

    (Even I am impressed with this guy''s skills, don''t know what kind of insight I got to write this)

    What a great man, or women, don''t know, but this kind of charisma, coupled with his honesty. I have been checking if he misguided us somewhere in his speech, using the knowledge I got from my social and economical studies, he/she is clean. He didn''t think up some lie like "if you don''t do what I say, there is a high chance you die", but even if he did, we, as society armed with knowledge aren''t like some ignorant country bumpkins. I didn''t think that our society which started hosting more and more shameless and deterrent people, still have these kind of saints, our government should take some cram classes from him/her.

    "Silence!! I, your god have given you a new chance, Earthlings!! You, have lived thousands of years believing you''re unique, that there is no other sentient being in existence other than you. Some of you even denied the fact that divinity exist, but the Almighty one and true god decided to give you another chance. And it¡¯s not just reincarnating you, he also gave you unlimited access to the godly library for 30 years. Strive for power! And SHOCK the worlds! For now, you''re dismissed."

    Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

    As that pseudo god finished his savage, uncivilized and enraged speech, the mist covering the already white as marble area, revealed a humongous palace like library into view, the finesse of the art covering it, the dragon and fairies statue decorating it, gave off an otherworldly, holy feeling to it, as if we were in front of the nine heavenly palace, or the fairy castle at the end of the world tree, the realistic feeling, and the urge to prostrate myself, was a hair away from making me forget that this is nothing but a dream, sigh, such a beautiful sight, but I can only feel it for a tad bit of time.

    "Suddenly, I feel like this is not a dream, I wish this is not a dream, the chances of this being a dream just dramatically lessened. But whatever if this is a dream or not, it will definitely leave its eternal trace in our mind, for how long we will still be in existence. This fairish sight make me want to relax and just leave everything be. But when remembering that a backlash might still happen, i think ''if the backlash will happen, it wouldn''t matter even if I tried to not succumb to it, but if it won''t, it would be such a waste to not use our time to its fullest in this story like journey''. But.... I''m sure you have a different mindset, true this place is mesmerizing and all, but would it matter if we die, no, that''s why I won''t succumb to this mermaid enchant like feeling, and I, and you will all stay awake for our future and safety."

    What is a true leader? This is a true leader, a person who will selflessly throw away even his principle for the safety of all.

    "Like I said, don''t throw away the hope of this not being a dream, if this is truly a godly library, then the youths and the pursuer of knowledge will certainly choose dying rather than missing up on this opportunity. Of course I''m no dictator, and have no qualification to be one, thus, let''s see if, this is a dream or not"

    And so we entered the library. At first, I was surprised when I heard a voice in my "head", but after confirming that everyone heard the same thing and consulted, with that charismatic person who named himself as Alan, we reached the conclusion that everything we see here is true, that this is no dream, bur reality, when we hit this conclusion, some didn''t dare believe it, but after calming down a little, we knew that this is true, the reason why we could is probably related to Alan taking the lead at first, but even with it, when we realized that we truly died, the atmosphere couldn''t help becoming gloomy, for that, Alan just sighed and said, that we human are weak creatures, but knowing our weakness, and not losing them is what make us strong, such wise words. The funny thing is that if someone else said it, I would have just thought of it as funny and nothing more, like I thought Alan is definitely special.

    With the course of time 5 years has passed, like we thought, this definitely isn''t a dream, call me weak if you want, but I still clinched on the hope that this is but a dream, and afterward my life wouldn''t really change. In this period of time, we accumulated a massive amount of knowledge. Some as Alan said thought that with their knowledge at hand wanted to stir an emute and exile him and thus started criticizing him, saying that he only want to use us for his own benefits. To that, our lord Alan didn''t even frown, he just said that if they think so, why don''t they go out from our group, starting another one, but they got greedy and said, that the knowledge we suffered years for getting is in his highness''s hand, and if they go out, they would just have given their support for free. To that Alan just told to take whatever they want, but secret techniques that the community worked for are off limits, and so they just did as told and left the warehouse clean. Our lord is really too kind, if I were on his shoes, forget about giving them anything, just for the fact that they started an emute, I would have drained their souls, but that just solidified my loyalty for him even more.

    And so years passed, and the final date approached, thus we made a gathering, and promised that once reincarnated, we would go to the center of the world, create a guild or organization named ghost hands, and spread our name, so that we, as friends created by the bonds of fate may see each other once again.

    ********

    Author''s note:

    I kind of rushed the pace at the end of the chapter, initially, I wanted to start some kind of confrontation between this faction, and our MC, but the story itself rejected the idea. But who knows, I may do a little flashback later, anyway, I tried to make their story more deep than just some guys being tricked by a douche bag. Don''t worry, the douche bag part will come a little bit later.

    Ps: sorry for the guys who wanted to see the mc''s hype train, bit I promised a pov chapter, and I don''t break my promises.

    Pss: sorry for the late release, but I had a busy week, and an even busier one is awaiting me.

    Pss: I will edit this in around 3 hours, so if you noticed some mistakes pls point them out in the comments below

 Chapter 6

    Ch 6

    Society nurture personality. If you see someone who is schemes a lot, the most appropriate guess shouldn''t be that he is of scheming nature, but that his society encourage scheming. Our society encourage stupidity in the form of education. My society encourage domination by being at the top.... Strength, influence, wealth, intelligence, those are all paths of the conqueror, whatever you choose in between doesn''t matter."

    **************

    "Warm... this is too different from the usual coolness, ... warm, is this the warmness of a mother''s womb.

    If I''m able to think, that means that at least all my vital organs have fully formed, and my brain is already strong enough to handle complicated thoughts. I should be around 6-8 months old. Well, since we''re on our mother''s womb, might as well check what I''m able to do."

    After he said that, Oniyama(will be changed, srry in advance for the confusion) "willed" to search the body. His divine will started checking every nook and cranny of his mother''s body.

    "Sigh, it seems that I''m born in a pretty poor household, but it''s for the best. At least I wouldn''t need to worry too much about someone finding out something abnormal in my physique."

    The reason why Oniyama made this statement is, his mother''s meridians are all congaed, her channels metaphorically accumulated dust over the years, and are basically unusable.

    Good thing he gained consciousness while he is still connected to her, the process of unclogging her meridians will be much easier, while he can know where are her limits.

    And so for the next three months Oniyama used all his time unlocking her meridians and accumulating qi in her dantian, making her go up from Adult level 1 to the threshold of martial practitioner, the reason why he didn''t make her breakthrough, is for fear it might cause her and him some harm, as the change in realms isn''t like with the levels.

    When you go up from adult to martial practitioner, the very essence of your flesh, skin and bones will have drastic change, and comparing the physique of someone who just broke through to martial practitioner and someone at the peak of the 10th level adult, is basically blasphemery in and of itself. So one can only imagine what kind of pressure will the baby and the mother need to go through at that point.

    Now that we finished talking about the mother, it''s time for the baby to shine. In these 3 months, Oniyama wasn''t so idiot that he will just focus on his mother and leave himself out.

    When manipulating qi, and making it go accumulating in the dantian of his mother, there is always some residues qi left, that the dantian rejected, the reason for that is that the dantian can only absorb a limited amount of qi on every go, this also vary from one person to another, and that''s what is generally call "talent".

    Of course the qi Oniyama gave his mother is extremely pure, he refined it to the point where not even a trace of impurity can be seen, so the residues of such pure qi will also be pure. Now to make thing easy, let''s think of qi as some kind of powder, the higher the grade, the better is the explosion. Same concept here, that residues qi, if not taken away immediately, will wreck havoc on the body of the poor women, such as even her bones won''t remain.

    That''s why Oniyama, almost immediately absorbed that residues qi from the channels connecting him with his mother, that qi is used to refine slowly at first, and only picking pace later, his bones, flesh, skin and bone marrow, his every being is destructed and reconstructed, to be more powerful than ever, vital places like the brain, and the five vital organs are imbibed with qi first, so that they become stronger and more resilient, to be able to endure the process of destroy and reconstruct. And thus Oniyama went up three levels on the first realm of dragon body art "dragon pulse".

    This system is different than the yuan qi gathering one, as while the later accumulate qi in the dantian, to afterward boost the power of the body, by engulfing the body externally with qi. This process boost the defense, offense, and agility of the practitioner. But the first one rely on strengthening the internal and external parts off combat with qi, which make even their non qi based techniques extremelly terrifying, they actually don''t lose one bit to the Yuan qi practitioner.

    "Hmm, should I still practice my soul strengthening methods. At this point, I''m already at the state of "the result of one week training is but another drop to an ocean", so it''s probably better for my body to catch up a little bit, that way my training speed would also take up the pace. Talking about souls, I wonder how Alan-chan is doing"

    Super clich¨¦ annoying flashback incoming  echo~echo~echo

    It was when I just broke through to the Core stage level that our most beloved scammer Alan-chan visited me. When I was breaking through, I didn''t think that it would cause some kind of commotion, that''s why my hiding formations weren''t really too complex, but Oh! Boy how I was wrong, 300 hundred kilometers have been engulfed by my black as night qi, the powerful undulation broke out some vibration that covered the entirety of the domain.

    I was so flagblastered. How could this be, this kind of phenomena shouldn''t happen until the breakthrough to the true deity realm, I''m still 6 realms away from that. It''s only after, that Yuki told me the reason why, it seems that the purity of my qi rivaled a lesser deity''s one and that''s way the breakthrough was so spectacular. Of course, this doesn''t mean that I suddenly have the power of some deity level master, the most that my pure qi could accomplish for me, is fighting against someone who is a realm above me, of course, that''s taking in account that he have the same control as me and the same techniques. So yeah, it''s still pretty op, but think about it, 7 billion guys have came over to the library, do you seriously believe, that even if the whole world is idiots, those writers that have emphasized the importance of the purity of qi wouldn''t go by their own teaching.

    Either way, at that time a torrent of expert have flooded the surrounding, making it seem like if today there will be some kind of announcement, and the crowd have reunited to hear the king.... yeah I''m being kind of arrogant.

    "Ehh, can you guys tell me, why have you all came here, is there some kind of party going on, if so pls invite me in, I''m so excited."

    "Is this guy truly the one who caused such a commotion, impossible, but.. his qi" mumbled some.

    "Now, now, don''t be so stressed, let''s sit down, have some good wine and talk about life, you lots seem good wine buddies" said Oniyama as his gaze examined his surroundings.

    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

    ''Well, hierarchy seem to be already on function, just ten years, and you guys already got yourselves a country, good job men, really,... oh wait, that guy has some happy go lucky aura around him, not only him, others also have it, but.... they also have a not even knowing his situation slave''s expression, slave+ happy go lucky, what was the answer to this equation.... ah, got it! Interesting''

    "Ah, srry guys, but could you please form some kind of teams and choose a representing dude, as I really can''t talk to you all at once."

    "Worry not, each of us several factions already have a leader, could you please tell us what faction are you the leader of, mister..."random guy1

    "Oniyama"

    "Yeah, mister Oniyama"

    "Well, I''m kinda solo player, and I like being solo."

    "Eh, from any country do you hail from mister Oniyama, I''m talking about earth" random guy2

    "Ehh, noob."

    "Pft" (random guy n1)

    "Hehe" (Alan)

    "Mister Oniyama, you may be powerful, but don''t be overbearing, you wouldn''t want to invoque the wrath of our New world faction." Random guy n2

    After seeing that everyone started mocking his plot, random guy n2 was obviously enraged. No one has ever put him in such a shameful position in both worlds. That¡¯s why he became a little bit like an arrogant na?ve kid thinking he is the best in the world. Random guy n2¡¯s plot was of course to make Oniyama feel more related to him as random guy n2 knew that our mc was Japanese. Him being an ex politician with good reputation made him think that getting to converse with Oniyama and have know about his past and such will make this op solo player be more akin to join his New world faction, but Oniyama obviously saw through the trick and so did everyone on scene. Oniyama may have had no problem with it if he was the same as before.  He wouldn¡¯t have even made the poor random guy n2 in this embarrassing position, but he isn¡¯t. He already changed and stopped being the same, all of this because of that day. Or should I say those 2 days.

    "Huh? Mister, you seem a little bit stressed, some problem at job, if you can''t really talk like a civilized man, I wouldn''t mind sending you out"

    "Mister Oniyama, please don''t mind this old dog,  he always spout nonsense to the point where we stopped giving an ear to what he says." Alan

    "Yeah true, please don''t mind lord Oniyama"

    "Now, now, of course I didn''t mind (more like, I''m confused on why would anyone create a body this old and unhealthy looking to stay in), so could you guys please tell me what bring you here."

    "In fact, when your excellence broke through, the heavens darkened in this holy domain, and the earth shattered, to the point where even those at the extremity of this godly library felt the immense pressure, truly, this was heaven''s ceremony for her chosen one.

    We, as the talentless persons that we are, have been stuck on the middle fundamental building stage for ages, and can''t advance further, the only thing that we can do is hope, that your wiseness give us some guidance" Alan

    "Please!!" all said with great fire burning in their eyes, you could see the thirst for power masked by the faked reverence they hold toward Oniyama.

    "Hmm, could you please, you young gentlemen tell me your name."

    "Alan, lord"

    "Your suck up is way too forceful. When you tried to show my might, saying heaven darkening and earth shattering would have been enough. What you should have focused on, on your speech is where were you stuck, why, the feelings you experienced, all in all you should have stated some facts, more real than emotional, that way, you would have given your speech some kind of sincerity and honesty."

    "Such wise words, this one feel shameful for displaying such meager skills"

    "Better, but still not enough. Now stop or else I''ll get angry."

    Afterward, an awkward silence filled the air, making me think about just brushing them off, but...

    "We have an offer.." Alan

    "Oh"

    "You give us some pointers for half a year, and we give you anything that you regard as precious other than our souls." Alan

    "Okay, I choose you, the rest can fuck off."

    "Mister, please reconsider, our faction hold much more information, and recourses than them. You as the experienced master, should know how difficult it is to change spiritual energy to material one , and refining it to become a treasure."

    "I said fuck off, because I thought it would take less time that way, but if you don''t want that, I can always kill everyone here." Said Oniyama with a grin akin to a devil.

    As our mc said those words, without hearing any further complains, everyone scrammed, afraid of enraging further this supreme expert.

    "Sigh, finally some peace of mind. Alan, could you please stop thinking that it''s because you took the lead in the discussion of before that I chose you, it''s annoying."

    "Huh? How did..."

    "It''s written all over your face, now shut up and listen. When you go back to your faction, you would create multiple teams, each one of them specialized in one random domain. At the end of each year, you will have them meet me, I will just copy their memory, so don''t worry. For my end of the deal, I will just give you these words: the reason why you''re in a bottleneck is because your body is decaying, it''s better to just create a new one and transfer the qi, it would take 3-7 years for you to completely drain out the energy from your last body depending on the purity of your qi, last but not least, purity and soul are good for one''s health, now scram you too. Still too soft, tch"

    With those final words our cool mc kicked Alan''s ass to the point where a space rift was formed and Alan teleported to the other end of the library.

    And thus continued both Alan''s and Oniyama¡¯s life, both benefiting from each other for the next 20 years.

    End of the super clich¨¦ annoying flashback.

    "Oh, it seems that I will be born soon"

    "Wa waahhhh!!!!"

    "Oh, what a strong baby shout, it seems that this little one will be as strong as his mother."

 Chapter 7

    Ch 7

    The yushi''s clan head, yushi lin''s Pov

    Once upon a time, our Yushi clan was an overlord in this region, our fame spread far and wide in our Alash country, and even the kingdoms next to us.

    Our clan have produced many earth shattering talents, which have stood as the pillars of the kingdom.

    But, as if all of this was but a mirage, our clan has slowly declined. At first, we were still strong as a sect, and so have our ancestors protection, thus no one dared plotting against us.

    But, like every other good thing, our prosperity days has came to an end. When our protectors died of old age one by one, several other military clan started ganging against us.

    It started with just economic pressure, but as the time goes on, our Yushi clan, as a dying dragon, started weakening by the day. And the other clans weren''t shy either, as they emitted even more pressure.

    At the end, they just killed basically everyone, took out all of our ancestral treasures, took out our ancestors from their tomb, to absorb their source energy.

    Fortunately, some disciple predicted this outcome, and ran away before the massacre happened. Our clan''s head at the time gave them our clan''s true heirloom, so that our line can still have a path of the living.

    But we couldn''t really state out our name, thus we couldn''t really use our influence to gather up power. So we tried staying low key as best as we can, but in the process, we started losing our already weakening power. To the point where we can''t even ruke a small city like moon town. It''s

    really quite hilarious how fate foul humans.

    Fortunately, it seems that the son of the prophecy will come out soon. As the legend says, a new born baby will show his power on the mid of the night with a crimson moon. The vessel will have its power increase by leaps and bounds, and the world qi would gather to pay its respect, and the crops would triple for eternity. All of the prerequisites have been checked. Yuki''s strength have gone from the 1st adult level, to the peak of the 10th level, making her easily as strong as our ancestor. In the whole moon city, probably not even 5 have the power to match her. The yuan qi''s density has reached an impossible ten times the amount it was before, boosting the speed of our younger generation enormously. It also isn''t possible to detect from outside, making the chances of someone with ill intents knowing about it even more slim. Of course there are still spies in our clan, but I already fed those with some other false information, making their report lose any form of credibility. Afterward we just hid Yuki for around one month. That way even if they send someone to check, they would find nothing.

    The story says that the child of the crimson moon, would have crimson red eyes, dark hair, and a cold and proud aura around him. It also says that he will bring us to even higher stands than what we were.

    2 months have passed, and the birthday is approaching. 1 month ago, we got news that the spies placed by the other clans have gone out. Thus there was no need to keep hiding my wife.

    "Lin! Come here, your wife is gonna give birth now. Stop stressing!"

    "I''m not stressing aunt, just too excited"

    "Yeah, whatever, just come quickly.

    Here is the baby"

    "Waa whaaaa"

    "What a strong shout. He will certainly grow up to be as strong as his mother."

    ''Like I thought, the marks of the blood moon children are definitely there, we only need to wait to check up on his hair.''

    Normal Pov

    ''Ah, finally, it started to become a little bit irritating, staying in the same tiny place with next to no ability to move.''

    "Wa wwaahaaaa!!"

    .

    .

    .

    .

    What did you expect? I need to play my role here, else my stay wouldn''t be what I would like to call comfortable.

    ''Oh well, this kind of gaze isn''t one predicting good future, WHY IN THE HECK OF EARTH ARE THEY GIVING ME THOSE FANATICS GAZES?!!!''

    Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.

    "Stare..."

    ''So let me recall. When I reincarnated, I was in my mother''s womb, around 6 months old, afterward I... ah well that kinda explain everything, but even then, it shouldn''t really mean anything more than being a good luck bringer, and someone with possibly monstrous potential. But wait, if my prediction are good this should be a poor family, since mother''s cultivation was barely acceptable. There is also the possibility of this world''s requirement being too low, or that I was given birth by a lowly branch family... oh whatever, I will find out eventually.''

    "So, Lin, what will you name your son."

    "Hmm, his traits are calm as still water, but they hide within their depths monstrous flood dragons, waiting for their opportunity. Okay, I decided, I will name him yin xian wei, or little yin for short."

    ''Yep, like I thought, I don''t understand anything. Ah, that ass of a god didn''t even give any book to master the languages, everything was in thoughts form, well that make it even more challenging, and more fair. At least those who reborned in royalties wouldn''t know where to get their benefits, until they are over 6/8 months old, one year if they are dumb. In that aspect, I''m having a head start, with my powerful soul, my logical and analisation abilities are out of this world, I would probably only need less than 3 weeks, one month if I''m lazy to have a rough grasp on this world''s language. Well at least this country''s. Hope that as time passed the dialects didn''t differ too much. Humanity has been cornered in one place for millions of years, now that they broke free, it doesn''t mean that they will automatically start using different languages just to piss me off, right...''

    Once upon a time, in a world named ***(don''t remember if I already wrote the name, so I won''t chance it) Humanity has been driven to a corner by an ancient specie, demonic lords. This powerful race had natural affinity to most elements in the world, with an acute one to chaotic darkness. They also had physical properties so absurd, that even a newborn child have more than enough power to one-shot an entire army of regular humans. But those trivial things matter not, as what made so fearsome wasn''t there enormous potential, great number or elemental affinity. What made them terrifying was their royal clan. In this family, even the most talentless newborn child had the power of a fundamental building stage, making him able to slaughter as much human country as he want. The reason for that, is that at that time human potential was wayy too weak. Their natural affinity barely excised, and the most powerful expert they had was but a peak fundamental building stage, with no good offensive skills to complement it. All in all, humans were really pitiful. But these Demonic lords for an unknown reason didn''t kill them, but gave them ways of meditation, and planted the seed of martial arts within them at the sacrifice of their emperor. At this age, still no one had known why.

    "Hmm, can you guys pls stop with your stares, it''s getting annoying."

    "Oh! Look how cute. He is trying to talk with us."

    "Lin! Don''t be silly he is just a newborn child, how could be talking, haha."

    "Hmm, that''s true, but he is definitely a genius, look how focused are his eyes!"

    "That''s normal, he is YOUR child after all."

    "Oh! Don''t mention it. You were even greater than I was, but let''s drop the depressing talk, this is the birth of the blood moon child, My child. Everyone should feast for the entire week!!"

    .

    .

    .

    .

    "My child, you''re going to be a great man, but mother only want you to be happy. So live to be happy, and let your happiness overflow your friends."

    **********

    Yeah I kind of got confused when I wrote the end of this chapter, as I wrote the beginning one week ago. So if there was some unnecessary info dump, or if I didn''t mention something, pls point it out, as when I was continuing, I probably would have thought that I already mention it.

    And pls rate comment and review.

 Chapter 8

    Ch 8

    Author Note: Sorry guys, I know that the pace is slow and everything, but that''s just how the story is flowing. I''m not a super author or anything, just your random noob writer, thus I can only fill the gap of infos by putting some povs, or flashbacks, it help me not giving you too much infos at one go, but in return, it make the story go at a snail''s pace.

    *******

    And as father said, the whole family feasted for the entire week. Well, that''s what I deduced when he made that grandiose shout, and the whole family feasting afterward.

    Our family may be a poor one, but at least they know how to party. Barrels of wine have been finished in matter of seconds. Huge demonic beasts around 3-4 meters have been roasted whole, and everyone was happy and merry.

    I guess the birth of a luck bringer child does bring happiness and hope. Every member of the clan have been summoned, and they invited all the rival and friend clans, each of them expressing their "heartfelt" happiness, and wishing our family a powerful successor.

    Of course, some were surprised and suspicious on why did our family go this all out with this party, but they merely shrugged it off thinking that it''s for the better, as it''s our family''s recourses, and how to spend it depend on our clan, but if these were spent on investment, naturally they would have had another view on the matter.

    An odd ten days have passed, and only then did our family finish celebrating at the cursing of the rival families, thinking why didn''t we spend even more, would it have mattered?!

    Of course, on those ten days, I didn''t show any abnormal behavior, and constantly supplied mother with world qi, albeit this time I didn''t dare go all out. Thus I delayed the breakthrough of mother, and just worked on building her foundation. At this point, she would probably pass as a heaven sent genius, her channels and meridians was already special from the beginning, and I knew that until later when I was making her cultivate because her channels were at first too damaged.

    "Lin, I think that my breakthrough to the martial practitioner realm is near. Please make sure that no one disturb me, I''ll be cultivating now."

    "Are you sure,..... that thing might resurface.."

    "I made up my mind,.. the terror in my heart, and the terror in my dantian... today I''ll get rid of both of them."

    "Yin Xian is still a child, he still didn''t even feel love. Are you sure you''re gonna risk it? He would definitely be sad and it will haunt hil for a long time if you die."

    "That''s why I''m not gonna die, and that''s why I''m gonna do it, I don''t want him to see me dead,...but what I don''t want to see most, is him seeing me dead while still alive."

    "You care for our child more than for me sob~sob.."

    "Hehe, I''m sure you understand my choice more than anyone in the world, that''s why I fell in love with you."

    At that instant, a complicated gaze surfaced in Lin''s eyes, it''s as if he was thinking ''I''m not really all that strong''.

    When Yuki noticed the gaze in her husband''s eyes, she leaned toward his ears, and her rosy lips murmured

    "..Sorry, this is my own selfishness, but please, hold on... so that I can too."

    When Lin heard this, his muscular frame, as if rejunivated, straightened up, his face cracked in a smile and said

    "Of course, my wife is this strong. How can I, Lin fall behind!"

    "Haha.."

    ...

    Afterward, Lin cleared the pavilion, and told everyone that Yuki is going to have an important breakthrough and no one is allowed to come near her chamber, unless they are eager to die of course.

    "Little Yin, sorry... your mom may not be there to see you, I hope that when you grow up you will be healthy, you will have many girls around you, and friends that you can rely on. Be strong, as no matter how I wish against it, only the strong are right in this world, only the strong have the right to protect those close to him.... and lastly... be happy.

    Ahhh!!!"

    As Yuki said those words, black torrent of devilish qi started gushing out from her body.

    The black tentacles of qi ravaged her inside with so much force, that it would have driven any battle hardened solider to the limit of insanity and back.

    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.The pain was akin to be cut from the inside by millions of knives, while being burned by hell''s fire. The pain she was experiencing was so absurd that she thought this was all an illusion, because such torment is simply impossible to imagine that it''s real.

    Normally this kind of pain was impossible to experience because one would die before even reaching half of its current intensity. But, the devilish qi wasn''t causing fatal physical injuries, the main weapon of this qi is its mental properties.

    It basically can kill someone from pain before he even have the chance to react to it. But Yuki wouldn''t die just like that, she refused to do so. The deep tenacity, and somewhat pride was stick to her bones, never to be moved. She has a child and a husband that wait for her, How could she possibly let herself dying here?!

    In the meantime, Yin Xian was frantic. Others may have not noticed the weird qi disturbance, and probably just got an ominous feeling, but how could he not?!

    His soul has already been trained to the immortal level, and got near perfect attunement to all elements, forget about now that he is close to the source, even if he were ten thousand mile away, he would still feel it clearly.

    At this moment, he is trying to trace to who the qi is, and couldn''t help but get even if just a little bit shocked. He still don''t understand completely this world''s language, he basically barely understand 15-20%, so he couldn''t immediately know that the devilish has some connection with his mother. But now that he do, he hurriedly used soul force to scan the entire territory of the clan, and pinpoint the exact location of his mother, afterward, he hurriedly gathered the surrounding world qi. The reason why his reaction was so frantic and desperate, is because his mother provided him with warmth, a warm that he never felt for dozens of years.

    The warmth his mother provided him and her genuine care, has been  extinguished by the cold barrier he created across the years completely but a glimpse, this wisk of warmth that entered his being, was the sole to do so for who knows how much time, and that''s why it left a huge trace. Yin Xian was always thinking of ways to get close to that warmth, his entire being carved it, but he was always disappointed. At some point, he just gave up. But now that the answer is close, that his possible goal is within reach, it''s going to die away just like. NEVER IN THE F**KING EIGHTEEN HELLS OF EARTH!!!!!!

    The world qi he started gathering a while ago, finally reached a reasonable level. He started purifying it, and attuning it to the most docile form of holy light, so that it can calm that devilish dark qi.

    The process took half an hour, and Yin Xian could only imagine what kind of pain Yuki experienced. The little bit of rationality he had left, was the only thing that stopped him from biting his lips to the point they rained blood. The others would be panicked, and may make him lose focus.

    After Yin finished his preparation, he immediately controlled the holy qi, and made it go next to Yuki. Afterward, he slowly cornered the black qi that was now like a black tornado around his mother, and made it regress. The mini-storm that was raging in the room, destroying any form of decoration, finally died out, and the black qi that was storming outside Yuki, has returned to her body.

    Afterward commenced the slow and tedious job of focus all of the negative energy inside his mother''s dantian. Of course, he made sure first that she stop feeling pain, by a semi martial soul skill, called "soul relax", the name might be odd, but the profoundness of the skill is unfathomable. All in all, the process took around 2 hours.

    In those two hours, Yuki fainted halfway. But that doesn''t mean that her strength didn''t soar. Her already pure as a saint qi had an even further refinement, bringing with it massive qualificative change. And when all the holy qi reached her dantian, she suddenly broke through the realms, and got up from an adult of lvl 10 to a martial practitioner of level 3. Yes, she didn''t only broke through realms, but also broke through 3 levels afterward. One can only imagine the amount of qi that was in her dantian.

 Chapter 9

    Ch 9

    After the incident with my mother, She stayed in bed for 2 days.

    When she finally opened her eyes, father was sitting next to her bed with a worried look in his face that instantly transformed into a grin, when he saw her opening her eyes. He, of course didn¡¯t want to let her see a gloomy face first thing after living through a near death experience.

    As Yuki tried shaking off the feeling of dizziness, her lips murmured.

    ".. what happened..."

    "En, it seems that you got over that certain death trial, as expected of my wife. Now for the scolding part. Please, never do that again. This time I was really lost on what to do." Said Lin with a worried look on his face. Even if he wanted to trick his own emotions to cheer her up, his love for her still took over. How could he remain impassive.

    "...hmm, yes husband, it would definitely be the last time. Never again will I do something as crazy as that." While Yuki was saying those word, the meaning that they held was more for her own self than directed to Lin as she was only trying to convince herself that her ¡°all out¡± behavior will end with this incident. She didn¡¯t think that the backlash of the devilish Qi would be this fearsome. In the past, she tried several times to go against her fate, to try and cultivate. At most it would be just her passing away, or having some internal injury that will heal after a month. But what she didn¡¯t take account of is that when she went through the cultivation levels, she wasn¡¯t the only one to become more powerful,  the monstrosity in her dantian also did. I mean, the source of the dark qi is residing in her dantian, so it¡¯s only logical that it will feast on the qi that entered.

    "Sigh, it seems that you understand. Our child need you the most, so please don''t do something as risky as that in the future. Going face to face with death is my responsibility, how would I consider myself a man if I couldn''t even do that." Said Lin as he hugged between his thick arms, the slim and frail looking figure of Yuki.

    "En, my husband is the strongest¡­ but I can''t lose out to you by too much." Said Yuki as she tried to change the subject.

    "Of course!" said Lin happily. He was already tired from all the stress accumulated worrying about his wife¡¯s well being. If not because of that promise, he certainly wouldn¡¯t have let her do something so dangerous. So changing the subject was for the best to him as well.

    ***

    (Author Note: I would be using En as a mean of affirmation from now on, as hmm doesn''t seem to give the image I want to convoy)

    As the days went on, 2 months passed without my noticing. In these couple months I tried my upmost on solidifying my foundation.

    When dealing with the abnormality that mother faced the other day, I got some insights on how to refine my qi to an even further level. The trick was to create a shock between heaven qi and elemental one, both should have around the same level of purity for optimal result, as my tests concluded.

    The result is at the same time a mix between the two, but not quite at the same time. To understand what I mean, one should understand first what is heaven qi.

    Heaven qi, or yuan qi is basically the qi that create balance between the yin and the yan, holy and cursed, male and female, basically it''s just the principle of balance made into tangible energy.

    When checking all the elements in existence, they either fall under the category of yin, yan, or yuan, so it¡¯s either neutral or one of the two extremes.

    The last time, the shock between the devilish qi, and the holy qi gave birth to a higher tier Yuan qi. When those oppressive forces clashed with each other, the yuan qi inside Yuki''s dantian was gradually upgraded, and it''s only after it reached a considerable amount, did the residues qi, that metamorphosed from holy or devil qi to yuan qi, enter her dantian.

    The process that I went through this time is slightly different, because if we trust what the trilogy of the Sun king say, a single attribute qi is way better than just some half-assed balance. When we absorb what we call Yuan qi, we only absorb it from the surrounding air. How can air have but a single attribute?! It''s just a random mess of different elements.

    To reach true balance, one need to accurately, and precisely create shocks between his own qi and all the elements in existence. You need to do that in a back and forth manner. To explain what I mean, let''s take an example: if you started with pure light element, afterward you need to immediately create shock between your qi and pure dark one. If you start with holy light, then you do the same with cursed darkness. If you go with fate, then it''s chaos next. With this, I hope you understood.

    Now the question isn''t what kind of benefits would achieving true balance give. It''s impossible to imagine. But do you know what''s even more absurd to fancy. Well, it''s how much time you would need to waste to do it. If we don''t take into account the time you need to travel between planets to get the environment you want. You would need around 1000 years to finish. Of course that''s if you''re a genius, as many wasted millions of years of their ¡°life¡± trying to do it with no real achievement.

    If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.

    That''s why for the time being, I would only focus on yan based attributes. The process would be agonizing, true. But the benefits are worth it. Plus, when my core is formed, all the qi will be stored inside. Thus no rampaging qi will go through my veins. But in the meantime, hell is awaiting, sigh...

    And so the 2 months have passed. In this period of time, Yin Xian proceeded through the whole baby realm and was in the verge of broking through. As he already planned, the clash between yan qi and his own heaven qi did marvelous job to his total battle power and his overall qi purity. As for the question of where did he find any elemental qi, as there is no pure energy source around. The answer to that question would be his elemental affinity, as his powerful soul and natural affinity give him the ability to get only one type of qi from the surrounding. The process was pretty tedious as his body is still young, weak and non-adapted to elemental qi, but he was still able to get his qi¡¯s purity to crazy high level. The concept of purify then enhance that was used in his soul training work with qi also. That¡¯ why Yin Xian hold so much importance to make his qi as pure as possible first and only then work on his cultivation level. This is commonly called in the martial art world as ¡°building the foundation¡±.

    As Yin Xian was about to break through, he made  decision against that at the last moment. He know that with the high purity of his qi, a breakthrough from the baby level to the adult level won¡¯t be as normal as he should be¡­

    And this event that he was so impatient about finally arrived. The royal ambassador was coming to test the potential of  anyone that was less than one year old. If the rumors say true, a prophecy should have been told by the royal oracle.

    "On the year of the crimson moon, a new generation shall arise. This one overshadowing the lords of heaven and hell. But between the hero stories, a godly being will go against fate. This one should overthrown the true one as stated in the ancient testaments. This one''s name should be "the crimson moon child"."

    ''Whoa, that''s some serious case here. Is everyone in this world chunnibyou. But, that suit me fine. At least I can just say the name of my skills out loud with no one thinking of me as an idiot.''

    The day the ambassador was supposed to come was near. Everyone was preparing to host his excellence* with utmost care. Ladies have been prepared to satisfy him, and man hunted fierce beasts to feast on, most of them were at the adult stage.

    The streets have been decorated, and every house was filled with lamps enlightening the dark sky. The multiple clans governing the city were competing on whose territory would be the most satisfying for the ambassador. To these low level cities, a royal ambassador was basically god himself. How could they not do their upmost to host him well?!

    The most awaited day has finally arrived, and the streets were filled to the brim with people like they never were. Everyone was watching with heated gazes the far horizon, awaiting the arrival of the ambassador''s carriage.

    And like expected, they weren''t disappointed. A huge horde of horned demonic horses came to sight. The horde of demonic beasts was galloping with such speed and ferocity, that the sandstorm they left at their trail was enough to cover the sky. Each and every beast had a majestic aura around it, making it cold to the rest of the universe. Their red skin gave them a one of a kind fiery appearance, that would make even the most aloft prince''s blood boil.

    Even with this formidable surrounding, the majestic carriage of the ambassador didn''t lose out even one bit of its luster. The immense carriage was decorated by golden dragon statues coiling around it, and two obsidian lions trying to snatch the crown above the carriage. This was the emblem of the imperial room, the ¡°royal Stigma¡±.

    "Wow..."

    "So pretty!!"

    "Lord Ambassador is so mighty!!!"

    "Wow, that''s extravagant."

    "Shut up, or do you feel the absolute need to die."

    "...sorry.."

    "THE AMBASSADOR''S CARRIAGE HAS COME!! MAKE PLACE!!!"

    As the voice of the speaker stopped, the entire crowd scattered, afraid of spoiling the mood of his excellence.

    ******

    * I don''t know what title I should have given him, thus I went with that.

    Next chapter should come in 10 hours

 Chapter 10

    Ch 10

    "Calm down calm down, I''m not just gonna disappear, hahaha" said the ambassador as he got down from his carriage.

    The fats in his face bulged out, and saliva was coming out of his mouth like a torrent. Sweat covered his already messed up face, and his little legs looked extremely disproportioned with his round body. He was really in a such pitiful state that even frogs would sympathize.

    As the gazes of the crowd got complicated. Struck between licking boots and being horrified at this appearance, an awkward silence emerged. Luckily, the higher ups had good reflexes, and started a discussion with this monstrosity.

    "Lord ambassador, you really bring us joy, that our old frail bones might find unbearable. Let this lowly me guide your excellence through the city" said the clan head of the fang clan "Fang Kiu". His smile as humble as it can get, while his eyes masked a flash of shrewdness.

    "Oh, well, then I will give you this honor."

    "This one will be forever grateful, your excellence."

    ''Is that shitty bastard really thinking that this kind of suck up would help him in any shape. This fatass can''t take care even of himself, how could he give you anything.''

    "Father, I shouldn''t worry about your behavior right?" said Yin Xian as he forgot about his own age.

    "Huh, who just talked to me." Said Lin confused.

    ''Shit, forgot that I''m still a newborn. Let''s just ignore things for now.''

    "Hmm, am I hearing things? Maybe just the pressure."

    ******

    After the whole suck up was done. Lord ambassador named Xin Ley finally decided to "honor" the fang territory with his presence.

    "Sigh, that was hard. Damn, if someone told me I would someday have that much emotion at once, never in hell would I believe him. Fortunately, between disgust and shock, there was some kind of weird balance that let me keep my cool." Said Lin with a sigh, a cold breath was sucked up as he brushed off the cold sweat accumulated on his forehead.

    ''For once, I agree with you pops !''

    "Oh, well. Being disgusted is one thing, and keeping formalities is another. Guys, I don''t want any of you to show a hint of disgust. Anyone who spoil the mood of that pile of crap is gonna be tortured then executed. Else, I don''t know how to keep that lord calm." Said Lin with a serious face. He had to make sure that no unpredicted event happen.

    "Yes, sir."

    "Good luck, sir."

    "Yeah, I would really need that."

    Father had two position within the clan. The first one was of course the Clan Head one. The second one is a little more special, as not every clan head hold it automatically. It''s the first general position.

    A first general needs the approval of at least 11 out the 13 great elders of the clan. This one have supreme authority over both the elite army and squads, and the armies of the ¡°dark side¡±, like assassins and spies. He also have a position a little bit higher than a clan head. In the case of a clan head being the first general. His authority is then only second to the ancestor(s). Not even the authority of all the elders combined can overthrow his words.

    That''s why, when the solders salute him, they don''t say "understood, lord", but use the military one "Yes, sir."

    "Lin, those guys from the fang clan. I feel that they are scheming something." Said Yuki with a worried face, she made sure to whisper close to Lin¡¯s ear so that no one hear.

    ''Wow, is that it. Can''t you predict what''s going to happen. Are you guys serious. You know that they''re aware of your abnormal speed, and can''t think of what reaction they would have on that.

    Man, it seems that I need to do everything in this family.''

    This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

    "En, now that you say it. It''s true that they were a little bit too focused on having that pig visit their territory first."

    "Husband, I think that it''s for the better to be on guard. If the need call upon it, let''s take out valuables from our treasury to bribe him."

    "... Why do we need to do that."

    "..Lin... I have such an urge to just shoo you off, but for the sake of face, I will explain things to you.

    Those Fang clan bastards are going for a bribe war. Whoever leave the most impact on that pig will probably take control of our blood moon city."

    "What?!! But, shouldn''t an ambassador be neutral and not use his authority in the matter between low level clans." Said Lin disheartened, he always had a pretty simple vision of the world. Even before, when he was still part of his old team he was still simple-minded. Now that he held the position of clan head for years, he do have a not to be underestimated set of tricks under his belt, but he still didn¡¯t have that distrust at sight reflexe.

    "......."

    *******

    After a long time of explaining, and convincing Lin of what is happening in the shadows. Yuki finally got a break and was going to sleep a little in her queen size bed. This one had a mostly red bedcover, stripped with golden tissue. There were also various drawings, mostly on the corner, of dragons, vampires, fairies, and many other creatures symbolizing power and nobility. Overall, it was a fairly decent bed, that one would wish to sleep even one night on.

    "Yuki Xian. My name is Andre Landerbert, and you have no right to question me."

    As a mysterious voice filled with killing intent filled the room, a suffocating feeling pressed down on Yuki''s chest and soul. It seemed like if a mysterious power hold her soul like an egg, afraid of destroying it, but nonetheless using enough power to crack it.

    "Yuki, what I''m about to do to you is called a metamorphosing spell. After I finish, shit will probably look sexy next to you, but there is a reason for that.

    Those crap shit Fang clan are afraid of you, afraid of your growth. That''s why they will leak th information that you''re a late bloom cultivation genius to that dickhead Xin Ley. This guy, as greedy as he is, will probably fancy you, and order Lin to give you to him. The question isn''t what will Lin do, it doesn''t matter, both choices are death ends. Thus we can only create a third one. If you look like shit, not even that pervert will dare to have eyes on you."

    "En" said Yuki a little more eased up than before.

    "But, don''t you think that it''s a little bit humiliating. And it''s not like we''re out of options, you can still kill that noodledi*k Xin Ley."

    "You''re getting a little bit too greedy, but it doesn''t matter.

    Yes, I indeed can kill that vig*nassores Xin, but can you bear the consequence. If I kill him, you guys have a 100% chance to be doomed."

    "True... but sir, your methods save no face."

    "I''ll give you ten minutes to tell your husband, and some trusted persons. Be sure that even if there is a spy in the higher ups. He should have no chance of telling the Fang clan in time. In fact screw that, whoever you tell this secret, you stick an assassin close to him. Give those boys green light against anyone who act suspicious. Kill immediately."

    "Ok.. with this, we will at least know who is a spy."

    "Yeah..."

    *********

    Author note: sorry for the late chapter. I can only blame my laziness, and novels on wuxiaworld being too good.

    The reason why I stopped this chapter here, is because I had no idea on how to switch between scenes, without having that piece of theatre feeling.

 Chapter 11

    Ch 11

    After finally shooing off my mother. I started laying with my tiny body the array formation. I had ten minutes to break through the adult realm, but first off I needed to put down a concealing array. The breakthrough between the baby rank and the adult one, is usually an everyday situation, as no phenomena appear like in latter ones. But for me, things aren''t so simple. The purity and density of my qi is already ten thousand time those at the same level. So the breakthrough to the adult realm for me would be even stronger than a normal breakthrough to the martial practitioner realm.

    I sat down on the queen sized bed cross-legged, smelling the scent of my mother. The aroma filled my noses like the purest honey. Is this the scent of truth. (LOL)

    As I focused on my dantian, a wave of qi pulsated like a heartbeat, running through my veins. The pulsations continued for around a minute or so, gradually intensifying. And as the final pulse surged out, a storm of blue qi gushed out of my million pores.

    If seen from the outside, this action would definitely have been as badass as it can get. But for me, it was just a torment as exaggerated as kirito''s achievements. I gushed my teeth as hard as I can, while thunderstorms ragged out outside my body. This scene is definitely a rip off dragon ball¡­.

    As Yin Xian was stuck in his delusions, the concealing barrier was painstakingly holding the vibrations in. Every time it looked as if it¡¯s going to crack, the array would hold on by a hair''s length. It''s obvious that even Yin wasn''t expecting his breakthrough to be this intense.

    ''Damn, if even the first breakthrough is this insane, the next ones will create international level natural catastrophes.''

    What Yin Xian didn''t know was that it''s precisely because it''s the first breakthrough that it caused such a reaction. The Yuan power in his dantian was turned into pure yan one. While not as crazily pure as a qi that have been forged by all the yan attributed elements, Yin''s yan qi was purer by dozens of time than any so called pure yan body genius. The body was adapting now to such drastic changes, so that it leave no future problems

    As time went on, cold sweat dripped of Yin''s forehead. This reaction was in contrast with the extreme heat surrounding him. The ten minutes limit was already at it lasts drop, and the storm of blue qi didn''t show any sign of stopping.

    ''Damn, it seems I need to go with plan B, at least I was smart enough to create a recording array in those two months.''

    For Yin Xuan who spent 30 years in god''s library. He can tell that formation arrays are definitely complicated, but not the way common people think it is. The process to create an array formation consist of three steps.

    The first one is to have a high enough understanding on the subject of your array. If you''re trying to create a rank one fire spell array, you need to have at least basic understanding of burst laws. If you are trying to create a mist one , you need to know how water evaporate and how can it stay at low altitude.

    The next step is creating a complete spiritual version of the array with spiritual power in the inner space. This one is like a portal dimension that your soul own, it has its own ecosystem and such, but most people and even array masters don¡¯t have full access to it until later levels. In this virtual inner space, one can''t just create a rough draft of the wanted formation. In fact, even just a tiny bit of error in this process might result in serious backlash. That''s why there is a limit on what kind of array you can do, depending on your level.

    The third and last step is the least important, as you only need to find a metal with spiritual properties. While this kind of material may be rare in a commoner''s house, a little clan of no national importance would have an overflow of it. Of course just low grades ones, but they still do the job.

    In this concealing formation array, Yin Xian only used black iron. While it certainly have spiritual properties, but it''s just barely. That''s why the array was a breath away from getting destroyed by a mere breakthrough.

    Either way, as Yin thought back to the recording array. He injected a bit of his soul force on the hand sized chunk of black iron.

    "Ah!!!" screamed Yin Xian in agony.

    ''Damn, it hurt. Note to self: Never lose focus while having a breakthrough.''

    *****

    In the meantime, Yuki just finished telling her husband and some generals about her so called "plan". She told them, that because of her unnatural breakthrough, she got spiritual ability. She also convinced them of her "intuition", and how it''s of absolute importance that she metamorphose herself into a dark brown monster filled with fats, and its face suffering terrible acne.

    Lin, of course was disheartened. Leaving aside just how humiliating for him it would be if his wife was disfigured. What would pain him the most is how humiliating for her it would be. That¡¯s of course after Yuki convinced him of what¡¯s actually happening, because at first he didn¡¯t even dare believe it. But after seeing Yuki¡¯s serious expression, he gave up and said that it¡¯s not a problem. If her intuition was right, then we would have escaped a calamity. But it wasn¡¯t, then it wouldn¡¯t be that much of a problem. But while he said that, he was still pained in the inside. For Lin a damage done to his wife is more painful than ten thousand the amount done to him.

    But as the saying goes ten thousand wish won''t stop a raging torrent (self made xp), Lin can lament all he want, it doesn''t change what need to be done.

    As Yuki returned to her room, pain welling up on her chest as the sad look on Lin''s eyes flashed in her mind. A voice cold and dark filled the space.

    "Stop. Yuki, did you do what I told you."

    "Yes, I informed 23 high graded persons, Lin included. And told the vice master of the dark assassin''s hand what need to be done. I didn''t stop to see the process so that I can return before the time limit."

    Afterward, an awkward silence filled the air.

    "....."

    "Ok, here is my next order. I''m going to create an array. It might give rise to a disturbance, so I want you to stay outdoor for a while. When I finish, I will inform you."

    "Understood." Said Yuki, a little perturbed about that awkward silence of before. She questioned herself if she did anything that spoiled the mood of this ¡°Andre¡± person.

    ******

    ''Sigh, that was close. It seems that my prediction of the discussion was quite accurate. As expected of me.''

    As Yin Xian sighed on how hard it is to keep his actions a secret. The raging energy was slowly reaching its peak on his dantian. As more and more qi pulses surged through his body. His 5 organs, bones, flesh and qi were being strengthened at an alarming speed. His skin was turning as resilient as bronze, his flesh contained energy to pierce giant boulders, and his bones became stronger than steel.

    When trying to strengthen one''s body, there are two different type of areas that are most difficult to train.

    The first one being the internal organs, like the heart and the liver. This is common knowledge.

    The second one aren''t so, and little pay attention to them. They are the various muscles in the human body. While many muscles are developed everyday, and are easy to train, most aren''t so. The muscles that are impossible to train like those at the ears or the nose are the most noticeable ones. There are even more muscles in place normally thought of as just skin. Those muscles are only trained when quenching them with qi. The result of training these kind of muscles is an overall boost in agility, strength and mobility.

    As Yin''s overall power increased by leaps and bound. The qi pulsation became even more fierce. The originally already pure, blue fire qi had gained a trace of divinity in it. This trace was barely noticeable, but it already hold enough suppressing power to overcome anyone on the same realm. Of course, that''s taking into account that they don''t have the same kind of power.

    When the trace of divinity appeared on Yin''s qi, the pulsation in his dantian gradually decreased their intensity.

    One hour passed, and Yin''s strength was still increasing, until it finally stop at 200 thousands jin. In the process of breakthrough, Yin didn''t only breakthrough realms, but also got up from adult level 1 to level 5 in matter of minutes. This kind of speed, placed in any plane will be terrifying to the extreme. Even those young masters of the divine plane might not necessarily compare. But if the fact that a newborn baby, barely two months old is a level 5 adult rank would shock anyone silly. One would probably choose castrating rather than believing that this same guy has the power of a level 3 martial practitioner.

    "Finally. But damn, the pressure of this pure yan qi on this fragile body is impossible. It''s basically a miracle that I didn''t need the support of medicinal pills to go with this rate of improvement."

    "Yuki, you can enter."

    ********

    Author Note: I wrote this chapter part by part, at regular interval. So if it''s not flowing well, please do tell me, so that I word things in a better way.

    Ps for those thinking that Yin could have had a breakthrough anytime he wanted. I will just say that he only reached the peak of the baby realm ten days before the arrival of the lord ambassador. And that everyone was a little bit too excited to sleep.

 Chapter 12

    Ch 12

    As Yuki entered, the terrified look on her eyes slowly disappeared.

    ''Well, it seems that this plan was big fail, lol...Sigh, oh well. I just hope that nothing was damaged. Now it''s time to explain things to mother.''

    "Sorry Yuki, it seems that the chaos I caused terrified you. I can only blame my lack of control."

    "There is no problem, master Andre."

    "Now, now, Yuki. You don''t need to use honorifics. Calling me Andre is fine."

    "Ok, Andre."

    ''Whoa, how did she change her attitude this suddenly.''

    "So... Yuki, are you prepared."

    ".... would it even matter?!"

    "Not really. But to just for the sake of formalities, I needed to ask you."

    "Sigh, let''s start already. Hope that this story don''t reach the ears of little Yin when he grows up. Else I don''t know how to explain myself."

    "As they say, If it¡¯s fortune, it¡¯s not a disaster. If it¡¯s a disaster, it¡¯s unavoidable. There is no use worrying about things that aren''t in our control. As if it''s not meant to happen, it won''t. But if it do, we won''t be able to change the outcome, no matter what we try."

    "En.." said Yuki a little bit confused.

    "Sigh, well, it seems that we wasted enough time. Yuki, please come near me."

    ".. I would like to... but I can''t see, so...."

    "Ah, sorry about that, my bad. ... You know what, just stay close to the door. It doesn''t really matter."

    "Ok..."

    As the long conversation finally ended, Yin Xian started infusing the various chunk of black iron prepared before hand in a six heads star formation with golden qi. These pieces of black iron got a black luster around them, making one feel that they hold mystical power above the realm of mortals.

    This black luster continued lingering above the pieces for around half an hour. Suddenly, a golden radiation came out, as six golden pillar of the heaven stood out, drawing a circle surrounding the six heads golden star. Fortunately, these pillars were limited by the concealing formation from before. Surprisingly, the concealing array was effortlessly holding the radiations in, unlike when Yin Xian broke through.

    This otherworldly scene, where pillars of heaven illuminated the dark room, was abnormally short. As if it was a prank made by the heaven, it left any viewer with a sense of unsatisfaction thinking ''Damn, this is too anticlimactic''..... if one really thought that it''s a prank with just what happened, it''s left to everyone''s imagination what they would think of the upcoming scene.

    When the golden pillars disappeared, and the luster that the black iron had, dimmed. Dust covered the room. Normally there shouldn''t have been any dust on the room, as it''s cleaned every 12 hours, but the turbulence that happened today, made any particle stick to a surface, cover the air like a mist. In the center of what should have been the six heads star array, a hazy figure was slowly getting up.

    "Cough..cough.. what happened?!"

    "Haha, it seems that the formation worked, though I don''t know if that''s something to rejoice about or not.... the array was a little bit... too effective.."

    "Sigh, should I even look at myself on the mirror."

    "Nah.. better not, it will leave you with some weird psychological trauma..."

    "..."

    *****

    Damn!! Sigh...To think that I, Lin would need to put up with having my wife turn herself to a monster, so that our clan can survive. That sh*thead whatever was his name (I seriously forgot his name T_T lol), will probably find it annoying that a women he set his eyes on, was engaged with someone else. Sigh, if this was at the time, where our name frightened the heck out of even the imperial room, forget about what is happening today, even to our lowliest disciple, there wouldn''t be anyone who would dare to look down upon him. Sigh, if my cultivation wasn''t crippled, and my core not destroyed. With just me, being an overlord sect in this region would have been piece of cake.

    A shame that the glory of our past wouldn''t help us on the crisis of our present. I better think of a way to make the process of making that asshat lose interest in our clan as smooth as possible.

    "Sir, the lord ***** has come."

    ''F**k, are you joking with me.''

    "Okay, I''ll be coming soon. Sorry, but I''ll have you wait outdoor for now."

    "My pleasure, sir."

    ''How is there any pleasure with that, damn can''t you choose your words a little bit better.''

    Lin can rant all he want, the problem at hand won''t be solved naturally. Of course the clan head know that, and that''s why he chose to stay in his lock room. He needed to regain his cool and think of various strategies, so that he can adapt to the random changes of the ambassador.

    ..

    "Guide the way."

    "Understood, Sir."

    As Lin and his guardian walked through the magnificent corridor, covered with various painting of expert using their mastered martial arts filled with profoundness. The eyebrows of Lin have been constantly furrowed. His brain have been working nonstop on how to please this mysterious lord, making one rethink their position toward this seemingly silly clan master. Lin might not be someone who easily see the bad in people. But once he do, they usually don''t have a good ending.

    ''Let''s see. What kind of information do we have about this guy''s character. First, he is from noble origin, and have a position as an ambassador, he must be eccentric, arrogant, and a scheming guy. If not, that would have been easily noticeable from the expression of his subordinates. Since they ate always fearful, there is a high chance that he is the overbearing type.

    Second. If we take what we thought about on the first point as a basis. This guy must be greedy. Once someone lose his chains from the position he got, things like being easily upset, or being greedy and envious comes hand to hands. So, if we show any part that make him believe that our clan have some kind of treasure, even if not true. We are through fully finished.

    Now let''s think about what kind of information does he have his hands on. First, let''s think about things that the common people knows of. If I were him, I would probably ask some random servants questions like "did anything interesting happen lately". He is searching for the blood moon child, so he is sure to ask things like those.

    So, what does everyone know. First, the arrival of the royal ambassador, and...... well nothing, really. So that marks a dead end on this path.

    Now for the second path. The schedule of the royal ambassador, is as follow.

    Visit the fang territory

    Visit the Yushi territory

    And finally the Tengu territory.

    So, as Yuki mentioned, that Yin Xiwen (finally remembered his name, yahoo  (sorry, it seems that I didn¡¯t lol, his name is Xin Ley hahaha)) will probably get to know of the crazy progress Yuki had. Since he is not an idiot, he probably won''t think of her as a late bloom genius, but a potentially crimson moon child''s mother. If that is the case, then I can only hope that he is no spy from another country, or someone who hold a grudge to royalty. But if not, what Yuki did, can be considered as the perfect counter-measure.''

    "Ah, Mister Lin, finally got the chance to see you. If my eyes aren''t playing tricks on me, I say that you are even greater than the rumors make you to be. A genius martial artists, and have a beautiful genius women. One can''t help but be envious."

    ''.... haha, it seems that I over thought things, this guy, can''t he be a little bit less obvious.''

    "You over praise me, this humble one can''t be considered even a waste compared to your dazzling brilliance."

    ******

    Sorry guys for the late release. But I was little bit tired these days. And there was also the grand release of tmw. I think they caught up to the raws.

    I''ll edit later

    For those confused about why is his qi golden, while I clearly stated that it was blue before. It''s just that the color of the qi doesn''t mean the purity, but just the element that it belong to. In this case it''s the holy element. Naturally, a qi that is just golden because he just infused with it a trace of holy spiritual power wouldn''t be close to be compared to a genuine golden holy qi.

 Chapter 13

    Ch 13

    After the usual blabla of flattering, Xin Ley (Yeah, reread ch 11 and found his name, I was lazy to do that at first. Guys, don''t ask me to edit it out. It''s too funny) that for some reason I thought was named Yin Xiwen, finally returned to the subject.

    "So, mister Lin..."

    "Oh, how honored am I, to be called that way by his excellence. But please master Xin Ley, calling me Lin, or little Lin is fine by me."

    "Okay then little Lin..."

    ''.... can''t you guys be a little bit more smooth with your changes of character...''

    "As I said before. Lips came to my ears telling me interesting things about your wife."

    "Master Xin Ley, if there was anything that displeased you, I''ll go teach her a lesson right here and right now. In front of you, if that ease up your wrath. But, I ask you please to hear me out. My wife is as dignified as fall''s leave, and as noble as snow. She definitely wouldn''t do anything dishonorable."

    "Now now, little Lin, did I ever say anything about her doing something dishonorable. You shouldn''t come to conclusions hastily. And even more so regarding your wife..."

    "Little me understand, little me was wrong. I hope that I didn''t irritate Master Xin Ley with my foul behavior."

    "Hahaha, no worries, no worries."

    Afterward the two laughed "happily" and "heartedly". Lin continued on the discussion while leading the way toward his wife''s room. Every time Xin Ley tried talking about Yuki, Lin easily change the subject, and start talking about various other problems, like how the new generation hold so much potential, and how will the balance crumble with arrival of the blood moon child.

    ''I don''t know how did the name of the hero stated in our clan''s legend, came to play in the oracle''s prediction. But I do know that this guy doesn''t need to know about it. If my child is really the crimson moon child, then his future achievement should be impossible to imagine. He might even reach the core formation stage, before the age of ten. At that time, I can proudly announce that he is the crimson moon child. And Yin Xian at the time will be powerful enough to stop anyone''s scheme on killing him.

    Now he is like a blazing little sun, while being as fragile as a lion''s cub. Our clan can''t protect him. And before the capital even intervene, he might be slaughtered. At that time no one can prove if he really was the blood moon child or not.''

    "Little Lin, I''m really envious. They say that your wife, Yuki is as graceful as falling snow, and as pure as the moon. And I was wondering if those rumors were true. I mean if such an earth shattering beauty was so close by, and I couldn''t even see her. Wouldn''t that be the greatest shame."

    "Cough.. cough, sorry." ''You''re in for a good surprise. Ah, man, I can''t believe I''m rejoicing because of someone seeing my women in her current form'' Lin thought

    "What''s the matter little Lin?"

    "Nothing master, It''s just that I believe that one look would talk more than a thousand word."

    "Huh?!"

    "Let''s go, Master Xin Ley. Yuki''s room is in front of us. I can only hope that your excellence would be generous enough not to tell anyone about what''s going on."

    "Come on little Lin, no matter how incomparable your women is to those in the capital, you can''t...... " as barely opened eyes, that looked more of fissure rather than eyes, stopped on the fugure laying on the bed. The fats around them stiffened as they were about to pop out of their socket.

    The scene of a balloon with popping eyes would certainly be humorous, but once they trace with their gaze what those weird eyeballs looked at, their smile would stiffen.

    In the queen sized bed, a women was laying on the red pillow. She was around 23 years old, her body was swollen and crinkled, her legs had cellulite, legs were chubby with visible spider veins, she had many pimples and blackheads on her back and neck. She was bow-legged and flat-footed, with a reddish color around her belly button. Her lips were dry and pale, and her breath smelled like a rotten skunk when it had died. She had two bunions on her feet, arms covered in lesions, and her breasts were misshapen, one was smaller than the other. (Sorry, I had to copy small parts of this description from internet. But it was mostly what I wanted to tell, so it''s not like if it''s just a blind plagiarism. Again, sorry)

    "I take back what I was going to say. Are you guys conducting some kind of human experiments?!!" Said Xin Ley in a high pitched voice, it was apparent that he was frightened beyond his wits.

    "I wish" said Lin dryly, his tone carried a sense of self-mock, "my wife was, as everyone said, a proud daughter of the heaven in terms of look. But she had an illness that no one could treat. She only had herself to rely on, if she wanted to get rid of the monster in her body. You see, Yuki had terminal devil qi dantian. Any qi that entered her dantian, will become ice-cold and savage in nature. It will destroy her veins, bones, skin and body, if she tried to break through a realm.

    Three months ago, my child was born. Everyone was happy as Yuki went through a whole realm, while the baby was in her womb. Everyone thought that he was a luck bringer, and that he would become a youth sage, with impossible potential when he is born. My wife thought so too...

    One month ago, Yuki was behaving strangely. She was often absent minded, and a resolute and somewhat dark expression flashed on her face from time to time. I should have noticed that something was wrong, that she was going to do something dumb.

    Unfortunately, the dumb one was me. I was ignorant, and useless. I should have known my women the best, and that even at the price of her life, she wouldn''t let her son see her with that demon in her heart. That she would have definitely go against her fate in a final showdown, trying to break through to the martial practitioner realm. Even though the devilish qi will rampage in her body.

    Fortunately, or is it? She survived the ordeal, and became the second martial practitioner on the city. But the price was the state she is in. She said that this was the price she needed to pay. That we don''t need to worry as she will only need two months to recover. But how can I feel alright, while my wife have to go through such an ordeal for a whole two months. How can I stop my heart from bleeding when I see her, as she turned to this monstrosity. I, Lin, have gone through heaven and hell but never found a pain this sharp and oppressing!!"

    "I understand my friend. But little Lin, in this situation, you can''t help but feel fortunate, as normally the victim of such syndrome have everlasting repercussions. For your wife to only need two months to recover, this can only be considered as heaven''s gift." Said Xin Ley, as the fats on his face danced like the waves on the ocean. But he innerly thought

    ''F**k, what kind of shit did I just see. Hurry, burn it with fire!!!"

    "Grand master Xin Ley have insight, little me is dumb, please don''t mind this little one." Said Lin as he hurriedly made the most humble face he possibly could.

    I don''t know how my mind work, but it''s definitely not the right way. For a chapter I sometime need 5 days to complete, and a double release come afterward like it''s nothing.

 Chapter 14

    Ch 14

    Wow, just wow. You really can''t judge a book by its cover. To think that father is this sly. Well, he kinda have no pride, but it doesn''t matter. As long as he wins, who cares. But really, I''m shocked. Never would I have thought that this guy who looked like a stereotypical all muscles-no brain warrior to be this scheming.

    Oh, well. Father has done his job. It''s my turn to do mine. Let''s return to my room, I already used more than the time limit this plan gives me. I hope that nothing goes wrong at this point. Mother, sorry, but our hopes lean upon you.

    *******

    Yuki''s Pov.

    Sigh, finally.. This should have finished the job right.

    "Andre, everything should be settled now, right? Could you please undo the spell"

    "...."

    "Andre, are you here?"

    "Andre, this is no joking matter. Please undo the spell!"

    "Sigh, did this guy just disappear forgetting about the spell, or what?"

    As time went on, I started getting used to my new physique. I still had the feeling that I''m wearing some baggy clothes and wrinkled skin. But I tried distracting myself thinking about how will Lin act with Xin Ley. But it wasn''t that effective, as I knew he would do just fine.

    And so passed the week needed for Xin Ley to depart. Don''t ask me how I relieved my basic needs... you don''t need to know.

    ******

    Lin''s Pov

    After showing lord Xin Ley the state my wife is in. He hurriedly asked me the way to the toilet. My heart hid a mixture of rejoice and sadness, as the sight of my wife really pains my heart.

    After around half an hour, the fat body of the ambassador finally rolled out of the bathroom. His face was pale with traces of a green liquid on his huge lips.

    "Sorry lord, this little one is a failure."

    "No worries, no worries hahaha, it''s my bad for not controlling myself."

    "This little one is really a waste."

    "Hahaha, don''t worry little Lin, let''s go to the main plaza. We need to attest the younger generation, yours seem mostly interesting."

    "Haha, you over praise them, lord Xin Ley."

    As the duo laughed, their feet took as destination the main plaza that was east of Yuki''s department. The main plaza was at the central place, and was filled to the brim with people. There was noise everywhere, as everyone discussed how much talent their offspring show. The reason for that is not as someone who knew about the mass reincarnation would think. Many would believe that the next generation is just the 7 billion earthlings reincarnated into new bodies. It''s impossible. The reason for that is that even when talking about the new generation of this world, the number is still in the trillions. This world''s name is Ronghe Shijie, and as the name imply, it''s the merge of multiple major worlds. How can the population of such a planet be small?!

    When the one true god decided to destroy a whole world, give its denizen enough power boost and head start to make the power balance in Ronghe Shijie crumble in a mere century, he didn''t forget about the true childrens of this world. While reincarnators like Yin Xian have an enormous boost in term of knowledge and experience, the other guys from the same generation had all special bodies that make their future limitless. Pure yang or yin bodies are just the bottom of the food chain. There are some newborns whose talent is the same, if not better than the royal family of the demonic lords. They are born with their core already formed. Of course, their qi core don''t hold that much qi. But the process of gathering it to the point where its comparable to a true level 1 core holder take but 3 years. This speed is so frightening that even those families who had close ties with the demonic lords millions of years ago, can''t help but be dumbstruck.

    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

    That''s why this generation, be it reincarnators or natural child of this world are sure to be full of heaven breaking monsters. The common populace couldn''t know what is happening in the realm of gods, but could at least see that their 1 year old child, have power of 50000 jin, which shouldn''t have been possible even if he had 40. Thus the current situation was created.

    "To all childs and parents, please form a line so that the lord ambassador can test your or your child''s talent!"

    Following that shout, the whole mob as if manipulated, orderly formed a line of more than 100 people. Parents and child had their gaze on the front building, where the lord ambassador was sitting in a chair, in front of a wooden table carrying a blue crystal head sized orb.

    "Please, make your way one by one to the lord ambassador."

    The first person was a 1 year old boy, his hair was dark and messy, and his eyes were hazy and unfocused.

    Xin Ley told the child to punch him, and so he did. His parents were flagbasttered and couldn''t stop him in time. Fear emerged in their eyes, as they thought that they were finished. But against all odds, Xin Ley didn''t mind at all, and just said

    "Quite good, your talent is pretty good even in this generation of miracles. If you were born 10 years earlier. You might have been considered a monster among monsters. The crystal ball say 100000, do you know what that number means? It''s your strength, as of now, you have 100000 jin force, you can go to a 3 star academy."

    ""Thanks lord ambassador for your benevolence"" said both parents at the same time. Relief naturally emerged from their eyes.

    "No worries no worries" laughed Xin Ley, with his everlasting dancing face fats.

    *****

    And so continued the test for another 4 hours. In the end, the majority had the ability to go to a 2 stars academy while only 10 had the ability to go to a 3 stars one. As for a 4 stars academy, only a baby 6 months old, who had a pure yin body could enter it.

    "Hahaha little Lin, you guys¡¯ descendants are really scary. In my time, if even one of them appeared, a huge ruckus would have been made. Especially that pure yin child. In this region, only 3 pure bodies have been found. Hahaha"

    "Hahaha we old dogs should really step aside for the next generation. When I see those disciples, I can only shake my head in shame."

    "Hahaha, by the way Lin, I still didn''t see your child. Strange rumors have been circulating around him." Said Xin Ley as a sinister grin appeared on his face.

    *******

    Author note: No No and NOooooo!! I didn''t just make everyone on the world powerful, just so that Yin Xian don''t become op too easily. There is a reason for that, and you''ll know it in around 1000 more chapters. Nah just joking, but it''ll probably be around 400 chapters before things start making sense

    Like always rate comment and review

    Ps: if you guys notice any mistakes, please do tell me so that I notice it too

 Chapter 15

    Ch 15

    Sigh, Father. You underestimated the oppenant way too much. You have always been thinking that the infos regarding my mother didn''t spread to the mob. You also had the misconception that the ambassador was but an officer who got his position by corruption.

    You have underestimated the royality way too much. Do you seriously believe that the imperial room don''t value strength? If so, how did it protect its territory? Even if no one in this country valued force, the royality still would.

    It''s absolutely impossible for an ambassador who represent the royal family to be weak or foul. He just treated you as one, and had this little play for no reason whatsoever. Oh God, thank you for your gift. At least you left me with access to how the world of cultivation work in the library. Else, even I wouldn''t be able to do much in this situation.

    But before doing anything, I need to make this b**ch lose track of me.

    "Young master, please don''t run around everywhere. If master Lin or lady Yuki knew that you disappeared from my view. I won''t be able to hold face in front of them." Random maid.

    "Wa whaaa!!!"

    "Young master, please don''t cry. Here, here..."

    ''Sigh, now I''m really stuck. Oh, well. Since there is nothing to do. I might as well meditate. I still didn''t open the third eye, so I can''t really see this maid''s cultivation, but if she is not at the martial practionner realm. Just the density of the yuan qi should make her lose consciousness. Hope that it don''t take too much time.''

    And so Yin Xian continued meditating, while the maid was both amused and astonished by his pose.

    Meanwhile Lin was standing in front of Xin Ley dumbstruck.

    "Now, now master Xin Ley. My son is but a three months old baby. How could he be the subject of any rumor."

    "Haha, well that''s a matter of course, he is still young after all. But, if I remember well, age wasn''t really a requirement to be tested."

    With this said, Lin''s face turned serious.

    "For that. I''m sorry master Xin Ley; but my son caught a strange illness. Sometimes he is devoid of any trace of qi, it''s like if he wasn''t even a living person. And other times he have bursts of intense and pure qi, that forget about me, even our ancestor get frightened by. That''s why I didn''t dare bring him to the test. We still don''t know what kind of reaction he will have toward any contact with qi."

    "Hoh, interresting. Don''t worry Lin, the royal family have records about such a phenomena. If I''m not wrong he should be a hero. Rejoice little Lin, your son''s futur is truly limitless."

    ''Damn, how could such a coeincidence happen. Now how can I explain things to him, when he understand that everything I said was bullshit.''

    "Now little Lin, please guide the way" said Xin Ley, that for some reason, the fats on his body weren''t as noticeable as before. And a sinister aura emanated from him. The kind of "Everything went as planned" aura.

    ''Damn, he got me. Now I can''t even change the subject or make him drop the matter.''

    "Ok.. please, master Xin Ley, I will guide you. Hope that even tho my offspring is ill, he won''t disappoint."

    "Of course, now. Lead the way." Said Xin Ley, impatience clearly shown in his voice.

    ********

    "I finally got her to sleep. This ****, how can she withstand it for so much time. Is she a martial practionner. If not, she is at least a high ranked adult realm. Wait? How can a maid be this strong. Mah whatever, even if she were some kind of hidden ace of the clan. It''s not like she will do anything against me. Even the fact that she is unconscious or just bluffing doesn''t matter right now."

    As Yin Xian said those words, he hurriedly moved his tiny feets toward the entrance of his departement. He already left a tracing array on his father.

    The reason why he just left a tracing one and not a recording one, is because recording arrays, no matter how tiny, are more easily recognisable than tracing ones. As to create a tracing array, you just need to take a little portion of any spiritual metal and leave within it miniscule traces of spiritual power. But for the recording array, you need a compelete throughout spiritual formation sealed in the piece of metal. Thus the size of the metal chunk shouldn''t be too small.

    A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

    "Damn, I don''t know how did the situation escalate so I can''t really formulate a plan.

    For now let''s just leave a communication array at the entrance. Afterward I''ll go quickly intercept them. Hope that they are not just having a silent trip. Else I really don''t know what I should do."

    In a hurry, Yin Xian ran toward the direction his father was taking. The distance between them was around 800 meters, a pretty long one. As Yin Xian hurried, only his shadow and afterimages could be seen. One could easily notice the physical abilities his pure qi and dragon body level 3 gave him. If compared to those children with the same talent as demonic lords. His talent wouldnt be way too off.

    "Here they are, finally!!"

    As Yin Xian''s gaze turned toward the two figures. They were liesurly walking side by side, as if they were close friends, but.....

    "Fuck, I should really start shutting the hell up. It''s twice that it happened, really F**K!!"

    The two were walking silently, with slow steps. As if they just got out of a friend''s funeral.

    "Sigh, whatever. It''s not the time to be complaining. I hope that my sneak abilities are good enough, so that they don''t notice me."

    As the trio approched Yin Xian''s departement, the newborn''s brain was constantly working, trying to find a solution to the current problem.

    ''Now, let''s calm down. First of all, the discussion they had before was definitely about me. As they are now going to my departement. While I wonder why I don''t live with my parents, it doesn''t matter now. I''m going off topic... There is the possibility of them just going to check my talent. But since I''m this supposed crimson moon child, father probably want to keep my identity a secret. But then why isn''t he trying his best to stop Xin Ley from checking me. The only possible answer is that father pushed himself into a corner. It might be a lie that turned against him, or that he just lost an argument with the ambassador. But then if he just lost an argument, he can still use the atrition war strategy, but he doesn''t dare. That only leave the first possibility, as he will probably be afraid to be dug even deeper in shit.

    Now how to help our super idiot Lin that I have no way of communication with. Using spiritual force to do telepathy is the same as telling Xin Ley "I am here and I don''t want you to hear what I''m saying". So the only thing that I can do is make them go elsewhere. Good thing that I left a communication array at the entrance, at least then I can shoo them off while bei g as vague as needed. I should probably say something like "I have sent your child to his mother. His special case get controlled when he is around her.".... Damn, there is also the possibility that I''m compeletly off topic with the spectial case.. What should I say? What should I say?!!...... Wait! Why am I driving myself into a corner?! There is a simple way to deal with these kind of situations.

    "Ah, we finally arrived. Little Lin, why is your child living in a departement on his own. He is still 3 months old."

    "Well, you see about that...."

    ??? "Little Lin, I''m Andre. Your child is with his mother. Some kind of strong spiritual resonance happened between them."

    "Who are you?!"

    "A pavillion master of the true Yushy clan...Little Lin, you really did a good job on perserving our bloodline." Said Andre, affection clear in his voice.

    ************

    This chapter should have been on 2 hours ago. But cram school started half an hour earlier than usual so I couldn''t post it.

    Ps: will you believe me if I said that this turn of event was compeletly out of my expectation. When I first started this mini ambassador arc. I thought that it wouldn''t take more than two chapters. But at the rate things are going on. It will probably be 10 chapters or more.

 Chapter 16

    Ch 16

    "How?! Everyone should have died at the time..."

    "Lin, don''t show this pathetic state to lord ambassador. I will explain everything afterward. For now, just go to Yuki''s departement, Yin Xian is there."

    "O..ok..."

    "Let''s go little Lin. While I find it a little bit rude to be talking with just a voice, it doesn''t matter for now. What do, is going to your child''s side immediatly. I''m pretty interrested on him."

    "O..ok.. Master Xin Ley..." Lin was obviously still in a daze. But how could he be not?! He suddenly know that there is a survivor of the great calamity that happened to his clan, but can not even ask what happened. His heart is in complete turmoil after this turn of events. One could only wonder what kind of reaction Lin will have, when he will notice that this Andre guy doesn''t even exist.

    While Lin was still in a daze, Xin Ley next to him was grinding his teeths and mumbling

    "Tch.. damn, who is this Andre guy. I feel that the rules of the game just changed without me noticing. Oh, well, Whatever. This is just to kill some time, no need to go overboard."

    The duo continued their march, while the noises in the background gradually faded away..

    ******

    ''Oh, well. Now, I at least have some time to prepare myself. Let''s see:

    First: Any plan that requiere the assistance of father is put down. His mind is already in deep slumber and extremely muddy. The shock from "knowing" that a clan member from the old clan is still alive must be quite great. So yeah, I can''t really do anything while still  thinking that father will probably understand what is going on. And that he will react accordinly.

    Second: The distance between my departement, and the departement of my mother is around 500 meters. Normally this distance should be quite a long one for commoners. But for cultivators, it''s still within the norms. Seeing that there is many detours in the way, it might take them around 2 minutes to around 3 minutes to arrive to mom''s room. In this amount of time what can I do... Wait, I still have the metamorphosis spell. Hahaha, how could I forget about something so simple. Now I only need to check if a baby''s body can withstand the pressure. But it should be fine, I already quenched my internal organs with qi afterall...''

    *******

    ''Sigh, what''s happening to this world... is it real... Was there really a survivor from that time... but then how? .. the betrayal from those scumbags....''

    "Little Lin... litlle Lin?... LITTLE LIIINN!!"

    "Huh??! What''s going on?! Ziki''s releases take too long.... what happened?!"

    "Hoho, nothing. You just seemed way too off tracks, and wanted to warn you. You were just about to step on that cute little child."

    "Huh?!" As Lin turned his head down, his eyes meeted a pair of cute, watery, sparkling puppy eyes. A child was clinching to his leg with a mixture of emotions in his face. Adoration, shyness, cuteness (I know that it''s not an emotion, but it emanted from his face. So just let it be) and a little bit of fear combined together into the cute little child''s face.

    "Ahww! Sorry, little child. What''s your name."

    "Hmm, are you clan master, mister.. ah sorry I meant Sir!"

    "Hahaha don''t worry about such fancy things. Yeah I am Lin, the clan head. Now that I introduced myself, it''s your turn."

    "Mister, you seemed preoccuped. Is something the matter."

    Stolen story; please report.

    "Hahaha little child. It seems that little Lin''s child is ill. So he told me to cure him." Said Xin Ley

    "Wow!! Is uncle a doctor!! So cool!!" Said the little child while his eyes were sparkling. If anyone saw this scene, he will think that a little sun was hiding inside the lad''s eyes. They were shining to that point.

    "Hahaha, well technically I''m not a doctor. But I''m someone better than that, so you can just think of me as such." said Xin Ley, his eyes couldn''t help but showing a trace of pride in them.

    "So cool, Uncle Master Xin Ley is so powerful!!"

    "Hahaha, it''s nothing, nothing I say hahaha"

    "But uncle, why is little Yin ill. He already started saying some words. Shouldn''t he be healthy to do that." Said the little guy, confusion appearing in his eyes.

    "Oh?! Is that true little Lin?"said Xin Ley, a glint of interrest appeared in his eyes.

    "How could it be? Hahaha, he is but a 3 months old child. Hahaha"

    "It''s true uncle, but let''s leave it at that. Now could you tell me about little Yin''s illness, I''m really curious." The gaze that the little guy used as he spoke could suck the world. Anyone who saw it who feel as if they were trapped in a spider web. The kind of feeling that you have no control over your body.

    (Author note: yeah, like you have guessed, this is a reference to hyouka.)

    As Xin Ley''s eyes had contact with the kid''s gaze, he felt as if a black hole suddenly appeared and sucked him in. This kind of feeling wasn''t born from spiritual force, or was the effect of an array. It was just pure charisma and royal aura that binded anyone in its trap.

    ''What a terrifying talent. I have seen multiple heaven defying geniuse this yeat, but no one had this leader aura around them. Oh, whatever. If what little Lin said was true, then it doesn''t matter even if I told him."

    "O..ok.., calm down first. Well, you see. Little Yin have this weird symptom where intense qi burst out of his dantian, and some other times he is just devoid of. I''m here to digognise him and see what can be done."

    With this said, the absorbtion feeling the kid gave was gone. And the serious expression was substitled by a happy go lucky face. His cute and fine little lips opened and said "thank you uncle."

    ************

    Sometimes strange things happen. At first I was going to have Yin Xian transform to a random body, and say that this was Andre. The scene with the kid was at first there just to add some humor. In the end I forgot that I was writing about the little kid and thought that this was Yin Xian transformed. At some point I noticed that something was wrong, and was just about to erase the part. But then I thought "wait, what. Will I just erase this part and push myself back to the corner I was in." In the end, I just went with the transformation to a kid, since it''s much easier to go with that (just imagine if I made Yin transform to tge man called Andre. Every move he make will be supciscious to the eyes of Xin Ley)

    Now for another topic. You guys might have noticed that I am the one who started "Opness is good for your health". The reason why I stopped that story is because I couldn''t think of anything better than a d**k kamehameha, other than an interspactial d**k battle. But I have some ideas, so if you want I can still continue doing that story. Although it probably won''t survive more than another 20 chapters.

    Ps: wow, I didn''t notice that the chapter was so short.... sorry

 Chapter 17

    Ch 17

    ''Hahahahahahamuwahahahahaha!!!! It''s my win. Xin Ley, you really are one hundred million mile away from me. Lol. Who is idiot enough to show his true color, while the game is still on the middle part. But I''ll give you some credit. You at least, with all the handicaps I had pushed me into a corner. A shame that it didn''t even last a quarter of the game.''

    "Uncle, sorry but I should go now. Else my parents will be worried."

    "Now, now. Of course my child" said Xin Ley with a gentle smile on his face. The contrast between his expression and face structure was so big. That even the most hardened manwhore would vomit.

    After seeing the little kid go happily toward his parents, Xin Ley mumbled

    "What a strange kid. Now remembring it. I didnt tell him my name. So how did he... Ah forget it, I''m just overthinking things."

    "Is something the matter, Master Xin Ley?"

    "Nah, nothing really. But what a strange kid."

    "Strange?.."

    "Yeah, he is a little bit strange. Well whatever, Little Lin, could you please lead the way. I still didn''t get the honor to visit your child."

    "A..Ah! Haha of course, of course"

    ''Damn!! And here I thought he would lose interest''

    In the meantime, Yin Xian was undoing his spell. The six pillars formed the usual sixheaded star formation. And his already small body became even smaller. The dust that as always covered the backyard revealed little Yin''s baby skin. It had a rosy and fresh feeling to it, as if you could just go eat it raw. His already cute face became even more devastating as his puppy mode became a default one. His face that overflowed with cuteness suddenly became a shrewd one. A grin appeared from end to end in his baby devil face. Anyone who saw this will be flagbasttered as they will think that this character came straight out from a comedy for children. Where the main character a baby, play jokes on all the adults of the house.

    "Sigh, maybe I should stop with those flashy arrays and just create normal ones. Sooner or later, it''s gonna bit me in the back. By the way, I should also think of restoking black iron. I already used all the stock I prepared before hand on my multiple hideouts."

    As Yin Xian said that, he hurriedly dashed toward his mother''s departement. He breezed through the tall grass and falling green leaves like the wind, while his gaze focused on the two storey, traditionnel chineese buiding. His shadow appeared swiftly, to instantly disappear afterward as he jumped up of the tall grass to land on the mini stone road leading to the buiding. He dashed left and right with his short statur so that no passing eyes could notice him.

    "Huff, huff... While I may have a pure to the extreme qi, and a strong physical body. This body is afterall a baby''s. I shouldn''t let it endure too much of a pressure.

    "But either way, I finally caught up to them."

    ...

    Meanwhile, the duo Lin and Xin Ley was slowly approching Yuki''s room. The two were talking about some of the political struggles of the region. And the mysterious downfall of multiple great sects at once, when suddenly...

    If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.

    "Hiss"

    "Schhhhh!! Did you hear that?!"

    (Schhh= the sound of telling someone to be quiet)

    "Hear what?"

    "Someone went past us, his stature is probably small as I only saw a shadow."

    "Is that right? I didn''t feel anything"

    "Be quiet, I''m hearing a noise again.."

    "..."

    As the duo approched the source of the sound, their steps gradually leaned toward the window

    "..m.."

    "Did ypu hear that?"

    "Yes.."

    "..m..e.."

    "Meowwww!!" A cat suddenly jumped in from the window. It was a small cat around 2~3 months, it''s fur was black and it''s eyes screamed "Please stroke me". But Xin Ley wasn''t amused at all, his round face became red from anger, while veins started appearing on his forehead. He was basically a rip tomato as he finally breathed out the steam that was rolling in his lungs. His gentle weird face finally reappeared as he gently carresed the little thing''s fur.

    Lin didn''t say a word as he knew if he did, Xin Ley might really explode. Plus Xin Ley''s suffering was relief and rejoice for Lin.

    "Let''s go, we already wasted enough time as it is" said Xin Ley, trace of anger and shrewdness flashing on his cold eyes.

    "Yes, master Xin Ley..."

    "Just call me Master Ley"

    "Of course master Ley, this little one shall comply."

    The two continued together with their steps the short distance that they had to make to reach Yuki''s room. For some reason, this distance of 1km and something in total that should have been a breeze seemed abnormally long in the eyes of Xin Ley. If the lord ambassasor was a little bit more experienced, he would have known that this is a sign that many things happened on this trip, and that the new variables might turn the table against him.

    "Yuki, I''m entering"

    "..."

    "Yuki, are you awake?"

    "..."

    "Yuki?!"

    "Just enter, Yuki is sleeping" ???

    "Who is it?!"

    "Wow, did you really forget about my voice this easily" said a shadow as the doors slowly opened up.

    "I am Andre. At your service."

    *********

    I wanted to make this chapter way longer than this (at least 600~700 more words), but the ending was so fitting that I didn''t dare ignore it.

    If you guys want another chapter, I need to see at least another serious review. And tons of comments, they make my day.

    Ps: I made that random sentence about ziki on last chapter, but no paid it any heed. Did Ziki already got forgotten, he was one of the pionner writers in this site. If you guys don''t know him, you can check on google Eye of Adventure. And no, he didn''t pay me so that I do ad for him.

    Pss: who noticed the horror movie reference. If you didn''t, well it''s my bad ant it seem that I''m just a noob comedian too. Well in every horror movie, this black cat always appear. So yeah, I made a reference on that.

 Chapter 18

    Author note: yeah, this time I''m also posting one in the start. Reason why, is that fewer people read author notes when they are last thing than when written first.

    So yeah, I''m going to do it fantasia way and tell you comment. I can tell that by seeing the number of view increasing, while the number of comments don''t that you are slacking off. I love comments, so do comment. Go reread the other chapters and see what you like and what you don''t and comment about it. Don''t just stay silent.

    Now that I finished my rant, please enjoy

    Ch 18

    "My name is Andre Landerbert. At your sevice."

    "You...you.."

    "Oh well, little Lin. Didn''t you get over the shock already. Make one wonder how you stayed as clan master for all these years." Laughed the appearing tall figure. Light reflected its sharp facial figure and well defined muscles that appeared under its thight black shirt. The sea blue and deep red coat that Andre worn was complementaring perfectly the dark shadows he just got out from. The picturesque scene would make anyone be in a daze.

    "Oh! If this isn''t mister Andre." Said Xin Ley

    "Ah! Mister Xin Ley. Sorry for my rudeness earlier. It''s just that I could only use a communication array to warn, without making any ruckus."

    "Of course, of course. The identity of master Andre should be kept secret afterall."

    "Hahaha, you make me sound cooler than what I am. It''s just that too much attention sometimes get in the way."

    "Hahaha." The reason why Xin Ley had such a change of character, is because "Andre" demonstrated that he is an array master.

    While this profession might seem normal for any of the 7 billion reincarnator, it isn''t the case for him. As far as Xin Ley is concerned, Andre is someone from the older generation. An array master is normally an existance as far as the sky for lowly clans. Even the royal family should treat an array master with respect if he reach a certain rank. Of course a normal rank 1 or a rankless array master is just an insect for Xin Ley. But when Andre used a communication array last time, Xin Ley didn''t detect even a trace of spiritual force. This mean that the control Andre has over his spiritual energy is monstruous.

    As one go up in rank, so does his control over spiritual energy. The reason dor that is that his understanding over spiritual energy become deeper.

    For example: a level two array master can create a rank 1 spiritual array while leaving minimum traces of spiritual force. A level 3 can leave none. That means that Andre who left no trace of spiritual force is at the very least a level 3 array master, or at least have the same understanding as one.

    In both cases, Xin Ley can''t afford to offend him. Not because of the strength of a level 3 array master, but because of his connections. Let me ask you a question: Other than the elixirs that alchimists create, what is the most useful thing for a warrior in a battlefield? Unless you had a profound case of retardness*, the answer should have been written clear on your mind "arrays". Be it speed boosting arrays or attack arrays, or even formation that upgrade the destruction potential of your martial techniques, they are the one that turn the tides of battle. The amount of people who would dream about having a favor owned by a high level array master can''t be coubted by normal means. That number definitely doesn''t lose out to those wanting to be favored by an alchemist.

    (*I just reused something that belong to the cult of dark craziness. Hey, it''s mine so it can''t be called plagiarisme)

    "Hahaha, well. Where is little Yin" said Xin Ley, his eyes full of worriedness.

    "Now, now. Master Xin, don''t be impatient. He is sleeping next to his mother, he is still a child after all." Said "Andre" as his finger pointed toward the queen sized bed. The room was dark as the window were closed and the curtains were down. The red tissue they were fabricated with left place to a strands of light to pass through. The few objects illuminated had a red luster around them, making the room have a sacred feeling emanating from it. The bed was pretty far from the entrance, so one can only see two figures sleeping on it, one big enough to be called an adult, and a small and tiny one next to it. If one saw this scene from afar, he would definitly think that nothing was wrong. But by using any qi recognasation(?) method, be it third eye or just six sense, they would know that there was no life energy emanating from the child.

    A human has 3 kind of energy, first one is qi, and it emanate from the dantian and go through the channels. The second one is mental/spiritual energy and it emanate from the soul and reside between the eyebrows. The place where mental energy is situated is commonly called energy centre. The third and final energy is life energy and it reside on the heart and the liver and go through blood. The first two energies are easily useable, but the third one isn''t. One need a profound understanding of nature and its law, the cycle of life and death, and also use special secret techniques to use it. Normally if one have all the above stated requirement and use life energy, his life span is used. If he do not, then it''s instant death, there is no other outcome. Of course that''s unless a being stronger than one true god help. Or if the whole world had a misconception about life energy.(winkwink **)

    Normally, this kind of trick would definitely not work on Xin Ley. He already reached the stage above core holder and became a Soul law practitionner. He already unlocked his third eye dozens of years ago and is close to form divine threads. With this kind of experience, it would be weird if such a trick worked on him in his optimal state. But that''s the problem, he is not on his optimal mental state. He has been too focused on using his prediction abilities, that he forgot to use brute force. Normally even if he is too caught up on his thinking, he will still use his third eye to check if everything was normal. But now, the existance of Andre as an actual person has been deeply engraved in his mind. The apparance of spiritual arrays on a weak clan that should have none. The talk they had at the entrance of Yin Xian''s departement. And the reaction that Lin had when he knew the identity of Andre served their purpose now. The Andre landerbert that should be an escalated array master, never in hell would Xin Ley think that he would play a trick on him.

    "Well, you guys aren''t here for me, right?"

    "Yeah, sorry. I''m here to test little Yin''s talent. Can I go check him."said Xin Ley sheepishly

    "Hahaha, no problem. The little lad show quite a bit of talent. Take care of him." said Andre with a meaningful glance.

    "Now, master Xin, little Lin. I wouldn''t waste your time any further. Let''s enter."

    "Things should be as master Andre wants." Said Xin Ley with a relieved and expectating look on his face.

    "Wait for me, I''ll wake him up." said Andre as he returned to the vicinity of the room. But as he made the first step, suddenly an enormous burst of qi englufed the whole building. Earth vibrated and vases cracked, as cries of shock and surprise rang out through the building. Lin''s face was shocked and surprised, to become afterward numb and hopeless. An aura of "I don''t care about what''s happening anymore. You guys clean up your own s**t" (well that was pretty describtive for an aura). Andre''s face revealed a huge grin, that instantly disappeared to be replaced by a look of shock and surprise. Xin Ley, while not as shocked as the other two, was also pretty surprised. He then tried using the third eye, but before he even did that, "Andre" stopped him saying

    "If I were you, I wouldn''t do that. The qi he is releasing is a chaotic one. If you openly have your qi contact with it, unless it''s a special holy qi, you will only have your vein corroded and third eye half destroyed. But if you want to take your chances, then I don''t mind."

    What "Andre" said was in fact not a lie. Or at least not compeletly. The qi that has been released is indeed a chaotic one, and if being in contact with, the syndroms stated are indeed true. But that only work for practitionner at the very begining of the core holder realm. At that point, their qi is finaly stabilised and condensed and their third eye just formed. That''s because the purity of the chaotic qi Yin Xian condensed in the puppet wasn''t that high. It''s true that having your contact with chaotic one with no preparation is basically asking for a beating. But one must remember that Xin Ley is a Soul Law pratitionner, many don''t even know that such a realm existed, forget about seeing one.

    After hearing the warning, Xin Ley was of course supcisious, but he still didn''t dare use his own third eye. That''s why he hiddenly sent a qi message to his subordonates. He told them to go immediatly close to Yuki''s room and use their third eye. The reason he thought of for such an order is that he need to ascertain something.

    Of course "Andre" predicted such an action and he acted as if he didn''t notice anything. He already checked Xin Ley''s subordonates, and they were all around the early stage to the middle stages of the Core Holder realm.

    "Sigh, his bursts of qi seem to intensify with each fit. At this rate, it''s to be seen if he will live past 1 or two years." Sighed Andre

    As those words came out of Andre''s mouth, time dillated for Lin. He felt that all of this was surreal, his mind stopped all contact with his body, and his eyes became unfocused. His complexion froze on a weird stance, and all in all he looked as if he was no more a human. His mind felt that this was all a dream, the most nightmarish dream he ever had. The lie that he thought up on the spur of the moment became reality. A weird sense of guiltiness englufed his heart. He didn''t want to believe it, that his child is not going to live more than a year, he absolutly didn''t want to believe it.

    ''How? How could this happen. Wasn''t it just a lie. How come it turned out to be reality. This Andre guy said that with each fit my child''s bursts become more intense, and that he is not go... wait what?! With each fit. Why did he say with each fit. Normally any attack would have a frequency of 15 minutes at the maximum level. If it was anything less than that it wouldn''t be called a fit but continuous bursts. I just saw Lindy searching for Yin Xian 20 minutes ago, when I was going to welcome Xin Ley. Then was it at that time that Andre made little Yin go to his mother''s side. No, it''s impossible. If that was the case, we would have found him there when we checked up on Yuki....... this whole thing seem setted up.

    '' As Lin reached that point in his thinking, he turned his gaze toward Andre, only to find the devil staring at him. Lin''s whole body shiverred, and his hair standed on end. The cruel look on Andre''s face slowly turned into one saying "good job, you finally found out, now shut the f**k up if you know what''s good for your health."

 Test chapter: Side Story

    Author Note: Yeah guys, it seems that I''m actually not dead lol. Oh well, I had a pretty busy week and I''ll explain everything on next chapter, it will be the main line this time lol. So yeah, I said test chapter in the title because I''m not totally sure this side story should be put here hahha, so yeah. If you guys find a little bit annoying I''ll just post a link in chapter 18 that will make you go to ch 19 without going through the side story.

    Btw, I thought about this side story for a long time and thought that it has a pretty good potential as a prequel. So if you guys want it as an actual prequel that will both answer your question, cover the plotholes, give more depth to the MC and above all be enjoyable. I don''t mind making it on its own.

    Side story

    Hi, my name is Oniyama. A pretty weird name right? Hhh, I asked both my parents separatly why, and they just told me to wait and see... weird right? Oh, well that does not matter. Everyone in class think of it as pretty cool, and I got hilarious friends thanks to it. Who am I to say anything about it in this case? But this is not of much importance right now. What is, is the fact that this is the last day of class, sigh. Finally...

    "Wow, finally! That was long enough. Hey, Oni-chan. How the hell does time pass so slowly when you actually want it to pass rapidely. Does it compress, lol"

    ''This is one of those friends I talked about earlier, his name is Henry.''

    "Like I said before, stupid jokes will always be stupid jokes. It won''t change if you said it in a different time. Einshtein would have called you an idiot. And for that time compressing thing. How the hell would I know?!" I answered the completly serious Henry.

    "Wow, as harsh as ever. Can''t you just let it go. By the way, what was that Einshtein thingy." said Henry while a curious gleam flashed in his eyes.

    ''Wow, this Henry guy is as energetic as ever. But, his company is comforting... surprisingly''

    "Sigh, just go google it..." said Oniyama in an exesperated tone.

    "Okay, no problem.." said Henry with regret showing in his eyes. He knew that this friend of him is pretty bad with people.

    "Srrr srrrr"

    "Okay, the class has finished. Even though you''re in holidays, please remember to revise your lessons. Laziness isn''t accepted in our international Institut  of computer engeneer." Said the not even pretending to be caring prof.

    ""Yes, professor!"" Said the whole class. Everyone knew that they''re just bullshitting themselves, but they still mechanically responded.

    ''Sigh, it seems that NPC infection is still contaminating them. Both the students.. and the profs.'' Thought Oniyama as he went with trouble through the crowd that was blocking the classdoor. His eyebrows frowned a little at the irritation caused by this disorder, but his facial expression froze immediatly and the noises that were drumming in his ears became just background music as the he heard Henry speak...

    "Huh, wow that was pretty odd. Why was everyone responding in such synchronisation. You would think that they were going on auto, and only a program was controlling them." Said Henry in a confused tone.

    "..So...you too...... but you can''t" mumbled Oniyama.

    "Huh?! Did you say something?" Said Henry his eyes shining like safir, and his gaze sucked one in.

    "Eh?!.. No, nothing. Just that.. didn''t you already notice it. This was always the case, the profs upholding their duties saying to us "STUDY", and we doing our part of the contract saying "Yes, prof". That way is more convenient for both of us, and no one is in a bad position. That''s how it always was, and that''s how it should be." Said Oniyama with certainity, a cold look in his eyes. But if someone randomly cracked his head open and saw his thoughts....

    ''This is wrong... this is not how it should be...'' his thoughts are as if a dark sea englufing his body.

    "Eh, so that''s how it always was..." said Henry, clearly not convinced.

    "Yeah..." said Oniyama with a sigh, his thoughts were in turmoil and a rebellious feeling he started his best to subdue was building up in his chest. The dark see that was pressing on his ribs started showing sign of a wirhlpool forming, the water around him started boiling as if a millinium old volcano was waking up from his deep slumber.

    "But, don''t you think that it''s weird, that it should change" said Henry, his face showing great resolution.

    ''No, please... Henry, stop''

    "Why?" Said Oniyama, his cold look still stick to his eyes, while his eyebrow started to twitch and frown. The masked trace of pain that were impossible to detect before became more visible.

    "I mean, these kind of automated back and fro in our everyday conversation close to programed. Isn''t that way too boring, having to repeat the same thing everyday for the rest of our life. That''s why I told you "Shouldn''t it change?"" Said Oniyama''s friend, his look spoke about great earnesty and a concluding tone took over his voice.

    When Henry''s final word came out of his mouth, Oniyama stopped in front of the university''s main door. He turned around, looked at Henry in the eyes and said.

    "Why would what I actually think even matter" said Oniyama, his face serious and his mind finally calmed down. The volcano that was about to erupt was forcefully shut down and his inner space finally returned to its originally cool state. Oniyama wasn''t the type to dwell on his emotions too much, he may get aggitated here and there but he easily forget about it in matter of minutes if not saying seconds.

    "How could it not matter? Aren''t we in a society encouraging innovations and youth''s ideologies? Doesn''t it emphasize the importance of every citizen''s word?" Said Henry earnestly, his look was wide and he had a satisfactory smile plastered on his lips. The look in his eyes would make you think he just won a challenging fight.

    "Sigh, you''re such a brat. Look at your face, its like a baby who finally got a toy." Said Oniyama with a sigh.

    "Hehe, well you know me. I like taking everything as a game." Said Henry sheepleshly

    "Sigh, oh well, it doesn''t matter. Do you know why I did that metaphor with the child" said Oniyama with a meaningfull look as he continued his walk.

    The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

    "Huh? Wasn''t it to express how I take everything as a game." Said Henry confused.

    "Well, partially. But that''s not the important part, what is, is that only childs get to have complete freedom. There is no need for them to go on an automated talk." Said Oniyama flatelly.

    "Well, yeah. But... I can''t really start playing the child now, I''m already 22, hahaha"

    "Yeah, but who ever said that you need to be a child to avoid having to deal with automated discussion. When talking with me, is your mind actually going afk!" Said Oniyama with a sharp tone.

    "No, of course not. But, what does that even have to do with the fact that everyone actually go afk as you said, hahaha" laughed Henry wildely. Multiple gazes took the duo as their destination, but Henry didn''t really care.

    "Let me finish first, can you answer this question: Is there anything that is truly meaningless?" Asked Oniyama.

    "Well, no I guess. I mean you can prove that something actually have a meaning, but how can you prove the opposit. At most you can prove that you can not prove it." Said Henry as a matter of course.

    "Good answer. There is nothing meaningless in this world, now can you find the meaning behind those pattern of talking." Said Oniyama as if leading Henry to an answer.

    "Hmm, no, nothing really." Said Henry.

    "Okay, then. Please imagine what would happen if there was no pattern in discussion. Try thinking about any situation where you actually needed to use them." Said Oniyama patiently.

    "Hmm, sorry but.... No wait, now that you mention it. It''s true that it does help when starting a discussion right?"

    "Yeah, you got close to it. What those pattern do is actually taking the role of main guide lines, or some kind of check point that help you win some time to complete the discussion normally. Now you see why it doesn''t matter if I was against it, that''s because it''s necessary." Said Oniyama concluding the discussion.

    "Hmm, yeah. That''s logical, but whatever my home is in this turn point. See ya ingame." Said Henry in a happy go lucky tone

    "Yeah, okay" said Oniyama a little dejected.

    As our black haired, 180cm tall mc turned around and was going in his own way, a blond haired beauty appeared from behind the green leaves of the decorative trees. She asked.

    "Was it alright, to fill him with bullshit like this."

    "Oh, miyuki. A pleasure to see you, are those guys still stalking you."

    "Sigh, please drop that matter, it''s not even funny at how high of a level they can go with their retardness. Now, returning to the question in hand.. are you sure you don''t want to tell him the truth." Said Miyuki with a michiveous smile.

    "Sigh, I''ll do the same thing I did to him, to you now." Said Oniyama while shaking his head.

    "Ehh!" Exclamated Miyuki disheartned.

    "Tell me what is the age of Henry?" Said Oniyama while grinning mockingly.

    "Grrr, are you sure you wanna play this game. Those guys may be sticking to me like a horde of lions, but that might be you for different reasons in the blink of an eye" said Miyuki angrily.

    "No, no. Okay, calm down, ok ?" said Oniyama trying to be as innocent as he could. Having to put up with THOSE guys just for a little conflict, absolutely not worth it.

    "How did you even put a smiley in Rl (real life)" said Miyuki confused.

    "Huh? What are you talking about?" Said Oniyama confused.

    ".... no, nothing"

    In the meantime, the author was laughing maniacally "muwahahahaha"

    "Ok, we''re getting off subject here. So, can you please answer my question now?" Said Oniyama.

    "Eh... ok, I think that he is 22 this year." Said Miyuki after thinking for a little bit.

    "Yeah, he is 22. Now, can you tell me what is the age where our personallity are fixed" said Oniyama, trying his best to keep a neutral facial expression.

    "Hmm, if I''m not wrong, it should be at the age of 19/20. Ok, so you basically mean that Henry have already a fixed personallity, and if you try changing it, it will have some pretty weird repercutions." Said Miyuki as her face brightned up.

    "Well, yeah. But that''s not all, Henry while reaching that point in his thinking wasn''t trepassing past the red line. In fact, he was pretty far from it. He was talking about society and what shit... eh, please don''t be angry.." said Oniyama as he finally remembered he was talking with a girl.

    "No, I don''t really mind." Said Miyuki, surprised that Oniyama actually care about his image.

    "..then as I was saying, Henry may have reached that point in his thinking saying that there is too many automated things happening in our society but that''s it. He don''t have any rebellious feeling and his personality isn''t as easily affected as I was, so his mind is already limited by those chains and can''t break free, thus he can''t really notice the flaws in what I was saying." Said Oniyama.

    "Ehh, I ''was'', that actually say things. Now I think that this should be asked now, else with your dead inside personality, you won''t ever respond to me. So do you actually love..." as Miyuki was about to continue her talk, the look in Oniyama''s eyes stoped her. Those dead fish''s eyes that don''t dare to feel emotions were telling tails of torment and agony. She didn''t dare say anything else as she knew that what she hoped for is still in the realm of imagination.

    "I don''t know" said Oniyama while avoiding eye contact with his girlfriend. He was confused, confused by this situation and even more confused by his emotions.

    "Eh?!" The answer that she never thought about hearing, actually came out. It was as if a giant slap coming from the other hand of the world made her head go numb. As if a roaring thunder was unleashed next to her ears. Oniyama never actually expressed his emotions, it''s as if he was void of them. The fact that he is doubting himself now about his emotions, is such a giant step that it can actually cross the heavens and earth compared to his usual state.

    "Oh, well whatever. I am going to watch anime now, I''ll play a little bit later. Call me before dinner." Said Oniyama as he tried to change the subject.

    "Yes, of course" said Miyuki happily.

 Ch 19

    Guys, so many things happened this week that I don''t even know from where to start. Guess what was the first dominos to be pushed which started this serie? Yeah, it''s the chapter that for some reasons disappeared. Sigh, that was a 3k plus chapter. Oh, well returning to the story. When I finally finished that 3k chapter who by the way took me 6 hours to write I was excited to post it for you all to read. That excitement was supposed to wash away my tiredness and accumulated stress, sadly that wasn''t the case. As when I tried to copy paste that chapter, I accidently clicked on delete before copy. And that was the begining of Armagedon. I was just burned out, all that accumulated stress of the week came at one go and I just wanted to sleep. When I tried writing a chapter the next day, those emotion I felt were no longer present. I couldn''t even remember with what did I start the chapter. And nothing new came to my mind to write, I was just blocked...

    That''s when I thought "screw this, this is just wasting time. Let''s play some online games and continue writing when I get an insight." That was a Big miss. I should have known myself better than this, and that if I start playing a game I automatically go on crazy mode and only sleep 4 hours a day. It gotten to the point where even a head gm of the said game asked me to become a gm. I don''t know if I should have accepted, but once I did, my schedule became abyssimal lol, only slept 4 hours in these two days. My eyes are so filled with visible blood veins that you would think I messed up my sharingan. Now the big question is, how did I have the time to write this chapter.

    Well your sincerly kazumi guy is a highschool student, he is in his third and final year. I don''t know if you guys have the same educationnal system that I have, but at the end of highschool we have this big test that we call BAC, in some states it''s called hgs or something like that. Hope that helped you understand what I''m talking about.

    Now you will probably think what does this have anything to do with gming, well it has all. I just used my bac as an excuse to get back to you, yeay!!! Well I say excuse, but it''s not really, I do have a Bac this year so I might disappear from here too.

    For those waiting the continue of opness is great for your health, remember that I need to finish this first book on this story which have now an unknown date. So yeah just forget about that next week or so thing, it was just an estimation of what would take me at the time. The datas have changed and so did the schedule... I should really shut up sometimes hhh.

    Well, like always. I beg you to not comment. I love not comments, they are not what make my day. When someone said that I liked this part or that this part felt bland, I feel not like if there is some kind of spiritual interaction between us readers and writers. So please do not comment!!! (Lol)

    Now without further ado, enjoy(lol this intro was as big as one of my shortest chapter hh)

    ***

    Ch 19

    "Sigh, such a shame. A pure body such as this is a talent second only to those demonic lords of the legends. Even without my third eye, I can feel through my body how cold and chaotic is this energy" said Xin Ley with a sigh, regret appearing on his face for such a loss.

    "Huh?! Well, if this was the first heaven breaking talent that I saw dying young, I would have definitely sighed with regret. But I saw far too many young deities suffering from such a disease and dying young. No, maybe calling it an illness isn''t right, it''s more of a phenomena" said Andre while looking at the roof, he seemed as if recalling something and he just drifted off to the realm of nostalgy.

    "A disease?! Do you mean that this actually happened before!" Said Xin Ley, suddenly both surprised and interested.

    "Yeah, do you know about the terminal devil qi syndrom?!" Said Andre as he just got out of his own universe.

    "Terminal devil qi?! Are you implying that little Yin has THAT syndrom?!!" Said Xin Ley, clearly bewildered. His usual cool demanor shattered completely, and the aloof position his rank gave him was no more. Clearly the words "terminal devil qi" contained meaning that could shock the world.

    "Hoh? So you know about this phenomena" said Andre with little interest showing in his eyes. As his gaze that was constantly locked in the roof shifted slightly toward the fat figure that was in his left. His plastered lips cracked into a little smile before disappearing again.

    "Yeah, the royal records tell tails about how this disease killed so many heavenly childs, and how it''s possibly the doom that happened to the demonic lords. Some believe that it''s a curse, some a test, but there is one thing that they share in common, and that is.... never did a contaminated child live more than 3 years." Said Xin Ley seriously. His tone was quiet as if telling a secret, and his voice vibrating. Clearly the matter went by far through the boundaries of his capacity.

    "Huh? So you guys know that much, I wasn''t expecting that.

    Either way, you got most of it right. Their have been no record in this world about anyone who had this disease but survived. But in others, things aren''t quite the same. Huhaha.." Said Andre while trying his best to hide his laugher at the end. It was an unnecessary move as Xin Ley was thinking about something else.

    ''Seriously, how come a level 3 array master know this much. An array master of that level might be good in the royal court, but it''s nothing exceptional. There is a whole circle of 13 elders made by just level 3 array masters working for the king. How come he knows more about it than the king himself... Wait, I only assumed that he is a 3rd level array master because he could use low level techniques with no waste whatsoever, but this only give him a minimum classement of 3rd level. His actual battle power is in fact... unknown.''

    "Okay, Little Lin, why don''t you thank mister Xin Ley for the open minder. The stuff he talked about is a notch above everything else you could find in this country." Said Andre trying to tease Lin, he knew that the poor guy was still dizzy from all the emotions that filled his chest at one go.

    ""Huh?! What''s happening..."" said both little Lin and Xin Ley at the same time. It seemes that the little joke Andre wanted to play was more effective than predicted.

    "Sigh, you two. Losing focus like this, you guys really need some more experience." Sighed Andre as his hair and coat were moving graciously with the wind.

    ""Eh.. h.hehe..."" The two were quite embarassed as the thoughts in their head made them not notice the ever strengthning wind.

    "Oh whatever, let''s leave it at that for now. By the way little Lin, let me ask you a question: Why the hell were you being such an ass licking bastard, I thought that you were the head strong and charismatic type." Said Andre as he dropped the bomb with giving no actual care in the world (the bomb has been dropped RUUNNN)

    As Xin Ley heard Andre''s talk, he nearly chocked to death. He felt as if his life span was cut by half with the shock he just recieved.

    "... Head strong....charisma.... seriously?!" Mumbled Xin ley.

    Opposite to Xin Ley''s shock, little Lin''s face was bright red. The now already strong wind was as if trying to cool down his head. He knew that his attitude today was shameless, that it was completely out of his character, but who could blame him. He is but a lowly adult realm, even when he was at his prime he was still but a middle core stage master. How in the world could he even try and compare himself with a Soul Rule master? One should know that when Lin was just born, the Yushi clan was already on a critical state, it was but a breath away from being destroyed completely. The Yushi''s downfall was a couple of years after the birth of Lin so he couldn''t really develop any arrogance or pride. A Soul Rule master may be a great excistance for a core holder from the Yushi clan, but never in hell would he keep his head low in front of him. But Lin''s own feeling of belonging to the Yushi clan were minimal at best, he lived his life trying to work things out for himself and any teaching that his parent could have possibly gave him to give birth to any kind of pride were already forgotten by time. That''s why for him, a Soul Rule master was a frigthning excistance. No forget about him, even if the overlord of this sword valley region was to be here his reaction wouldn''t lose out in shamelessness to Lin''s, because even if by some chance you got the idiotic idea of offending a Soul Rule master, you still wouldn''t be retarded enough to offend the power behind him: the royal family.

    "Wow, from your reaction Xin Ley, it seems that what I said was an euphemism hahaha" laughed Andre, he liked teasing Lin but seeing the reaction of Xin Ley, he couldn''t help but lose himself laughing.

    ".... Little .." mumbled Xin Ley.

    When Lin heard Xin Ley mumbling, his whole body froze and thoughts of suicide were coming one after the other.

    "Sorry I didn''t hear you" said Andre as he made sure to focus this time on talking with Xin Ley, the now strong enough to irritate Andre made his eyebrows twitch, while paper accumulated close to his legs. His never bending legs worked as a ****** stopping the current of paper from flowing. Multiple loud noises of glass and decoration cracking.

    "Crack"

    "Bam, tss"

    "...little.. me.." mumbled Xin Ley with a higher tone than before.

    "Hmm, sorry but I didn''t hear you well, I just heard something that is little and nothing more." Said Andre as he tried to make Lin even more embarassed. In fact he already knew what was happening but he still made this whole comedy just for the sake of driving Lin out of his wits.

    And as expected Lin was even more red than a tomato, in fact he was so embarassed that his head started sinking between his shoulders.

    "I said that he started calling himself little me for god''s sake....." said Xin Ley with an exasperated tone. It seemed that the combination of Lin''s obvious ass licking and the irritation caused by Andre was taking its toll on his mental state. Xin Ley may be an experienced Soul Rule master but that doesn''t mean that he have complete control over his emotions. In that aspect even a random nerd might be able to beat him, but who can blame him, was his training course including sociology?!

    "....... did you say that he called himself little me?" Said Andre as if he was shocked beyond belief, but on the inside he was laughing so maniacally that one wouldn''t believe that he could mask such sharp emotions.

    "Yeah...." said Xin Ley looking accabled, the fats in his face were stretched out in a wavy manner as the strong wind made him look like an old tired dog.

    "Is that true Lin, by the way where are you trying to run to" said Andre as his head turned in a robotic way toward Lin, his grip as strong as steel landed on the poor man''s shoulder and made his whole body straight, not able to move even a little bit.

    The look on Yin Xian''s father was priceless, he was basically begging to let him off. His ears were becoming blue from the sharp diference in temperature between his body and its exterior, this diference was caused by the now frosty wind that should have frozen any normal human by now.

    As Andre saw his father''s complexion his inner wild laugher was but a breath away from coming outside.

    "Little Lin, I do understand that the diference in power between you and Xin Ley should have made you feel inferior. I also understand that your position in the clan make you need to mind your words and attitude in front of a royal envoy. But...but... little me HAHAHAHAHHA!!! Did you just go full little me, great you. Oh wise lord or something like that hhahah..." laughed Andre.

    "In fact.... yes, he did that" interrupted Xin Ley, he too was enjoying teasing this junior. The disposition he had should have made him look like the cool detached type of character, but the wavy fats on his face made the whole situation just even more hilarious.

    Contrary to Xin Ley''s mood, Lins was pretty bad. The embarrasment was turned into anger and his dizzy head became clear. He was like a bullied child that just snapped and thought "STOP, Enough is enough".

    "Okay, you guys laughed as much as you like, now it''s time to stop. By the way the weather is pretty bad today." Said Lin completely serious.

    "Hahah, man couldn''t you think of a bettee execuse than this, right Xin Ley? Hahha" said Andre as he continued laughing, he was so drunk on his trolling that he cut all other connection to reality.

    "Eh.... n..no..ib(in)..fant(fact)...th ..weat..iv(is)..truly...bad" said Xin Ley as the now enough to crack the walls wind was pressing on his face.

    "Huh? Now that you said it, it''s true that I felt that the wind was pretty bad today. How the hell is there any wind in a closed room by the way" said Andre surprised.

    "There is a sandstorm behind you  Andre. No, in fact more than a sandstorm, it''s more like a glassstorm hahha" laughed Lin as he tried to get back his revenge from earlier.

    "A glassstorm, hmm that sound pretty dangerous hahah. By the way can someone tell me why is there so many random mirrors in all of the rooms that I entered. Do you guys do some kind of ritual with them goddammit!!" Shouted Andre exasperated as his voice was becomming less and less understandable because of the disturabance.

    "Eh, I''m getting pretty mad now. Andre can we seal this qi and ne done with it." Said Xin Ley who finally remembered to make a qi membrane around his body to defend against the wind.

    "Hmm ok, no problem with me. Xin Ley, can you please condense the surrounding chaotic qi around little Yin''s body. Just make it be as close as his body as possible, no need go form a membrane around him." Said Andre.

    "Even if you told me to do so, I still wouldn''t have done it. That''s like throwing away my life, even touching devil qi with my own spiritual force is pretty taxing, forget about controlling it." Said Xin Ley, clearly not pleased to do the job assignated to him.

    "Sorry about that" said Andre with a helpless smile on his face.

    "Sigh, no real problem. My qi is still taking quite a bit of burden away from my shoulders." Said Xin Ley as if he didn''t mind, but if one could see through his eyes they would notice a seriousness that is of such a contarst with his usual chubby appareance.

    "Ok, let''s start now. The sooner the better with this type of things" said Andre as he started focusing.

    "Can you guys please start already, I''m gonna freeze to death if this continue" Shouted Lin as loud as he could. In the back of his feets traces of ice started forming, while his qi veins were being vioated by the rampaging qi. He was trying his best to counter it with his own qi, but hi efforts were quite futil.

    "Ok, ok. Here eat this pill, it will help you buy some time for us, I don''t want you to become disabled just for like that." Said Xin Ley as he gave Lin a golf ball sized red pill, a strong medicinal fragnance could be felt from it.

    "Thanks" said Lin gratefully.

    "No problem" said Xin Leyvas he concluded the discussion. Andre was focusing on his task for a long enough time, and he don''t to miss the timing else the synchronisation he had with Andre will disappear and time will be needlessly wasted.

    Beads of cold sweat dripped out of Xin Ley''s forehead like a waterfall as he tried his best to make his spiritual force engluf the whole room with all the qi disturbance in the way. As he controled the surrounding chaotic his qi through the spiritual web he already created to push back the running away chaotic devil qi. The whole process of condensing the devil qi took around 5 minutes to complete.

    Andre who was already done with his preparation switched his focus to Xin Ley. Just when the fat lord finished condensing the qi Andre took complete control of it and started pouring it bit by bit in"little Yin"''s qi vein. He made sure to not be overexcessive as even a little deviation may make the whole body disappear in but an instant.

    As time passed, the pool of sweats surrounding Andre became bigger and bigger. Going through the veins may be an impossibly precise task, but it couldn''t hold a candle against needing to make someone else''s qi go back to its dantian. He needed to push in no more than enough qi and that is several time. There is no actual pattern which make trying to become used to it useless.

    "GRWAHH!!! AHHHHHH!!" A heart wreaching and soul breaking scream resounded from outside. Ghosts and gods were scared out of their wits as the sharp as a knife cry resounded through the whole palace.

    "..Xin Ley... I don''t care about what actually happen to your subordonates or what you are thinking and planning. For mr those things are of little importance.... But just know, if they make me lose focus on such an importance next time. It won''t end with just a mass execution." Said Andre as a thick killing intent englufed his the room. His black eyes seemed like a black hole able to suck you in, and their inside was as if hosting a devil waiting patiently for his meal.

    "...s.sorry.. understood" said Xin Ley shivering. He may be an esteemed Soul Rule master going inhendred in the whole country, but what of that? If he is a Soul Rule master, isn''t Andre in his thinking at least a level 3 array master. A Soul Rule may beat an array master on 1on1 battle with no preparation before hand, but that''s it. He can beat him, but can he kill him. An array master, even if we''re talking about the laziest in the universe always have an agility boost array at the very least, plus their mobility in air as they''re using spiritual energy to fly are two factors that make an array master, if not completely overpowered by his oppenant be too difficult to kill.

    This is the reason why the royal teachings always emphasis on the fact that offending an array master is basically courting death, because if not immediatly killed, with their influence they will easily make you go through endless suffering.

    "Ok, enough said" said Andre as he tried masking his bloody eyes, and his internal injuries. When losing focus while using spiritual energy, the blacklash is proportional to the strength of one''s soul and the effort they''re making. Andre was pretty lucky to have focused on his soul for those 30 years as with the task at hand, the blacklash shouldn''t have been as simple as some internal injuries.

    The process afterward was without troubles as Andre''s inner state returned to the normal. Andre still had the body of a baby so it can''t really take that much stress, having to use the metamorphosis spell for so long was already exhausting enough so going through the blacklash already went past what his body could handle.

    "Sigh, that was pretty damn long enough, right Xin Ley?" said Andre grinning.

    "Yeah... true, itbwas pretty exhausting" muttered Xin Ley while avoiding eye contact.

    "Hihihi, oh well. We finally finished, I''ll be going now. Sorry little Lin I can''t stay too much here I have some troubles to deal with for now." Said Andre while appologizing.

    "Huh? How could that be..." Said Lin, he may be pretty pissed at Andre for now, but he still believe that he is the missing link needed to understand what actually happened at that time with the clan.

    "Sorry, mayb...." as Andre was about to execuse himself, a huge Boom was heard from behind.

    ''Boom''

    ''Fuuuu''

    "What''s happening, what''s this pure yang energy?!"exclamated Andre

    "Like if I know, by the way let''s get the hell out of here before...." Just as Xin Ley was about to issue his warning, a hot wave of energy englufed the whole building burning everything in its path.

    "...we get burned, I guess that was pretty late." Said the now black as charoal less fat lord.

    "Yeah, more like WHAT IN HELL WAS THAT?!!" (Andre)

    *************

    Author''s note: oh, well that was a pretty long chapter lol. Sorry guys, I had some exams this week(around 5 or 6) and I had to revise all the lessons we did this whole semester. So yeah, I actually made this chapter and the other test side strory between studying maths and physics lol.

 Chapter 20

    Sorry guys if anything I say seem weird, or if there are any missing words. I have been sick for the past 4 days, and my phone was damaged pretty badly. Hope that it is repaired soon (this part is to be forgotten as I just got my phone back. For those interested, I first wrote this author note 3¡Â2 weeks ago hahha). So yeah, this is my first time after 2 to 3 years to type out a chapter in pc, don''t know if that will help me or just bug me (in fact, it did just bug me. The proof is the latenness of this chapter. I''ll probably have my pc used just for spell checking. As I don''t see a mobile microsoft word version. Microsoft writer does exist, but there is no spell checker)

    Ch 20

    "Well, well well...... The heck happened there?!"  Said Xin Ley, voice empty of hope. Nothing was making any sense and it seemed as if god was playing a stupid joke on him.

    "I really want to know as well..." said Andre with a dead voice.

    "The heck care what was that super booom, how is my little Yin is what I want to know" said Lin, faking to be angry as he ran toward his "child".

    "I would advise you against i..."

    "BOOOM"

    Before Andre even got the chance to warn Lin, this one was already blown off 2 meters back of his original position.

    "Ahhhhhhh!!!!!" Screamed Lin as golden flames started burning the upper half of his body.

    "Quick, use devilish tomb water." Ordered Andre. Xin Ley was pretty surprised to know that this mysterious master actually knew what was on his possesion.

    "I would have done it even if you didn''t tell me to. But, how did you know that I had it on me?" asked Xin Ley. His round body hopped toward Lin who was still in misery.

    "I didn''t, I just knew that every high grade dude in your country should have this object on hand. An imperial order or so." Said Andre as he recalled the moments he had spent on the godly library. He tried as much as he could to dig out of Yuki the highest possible amount of information about the political situation of this world.

    The continent he is actually in is by far not the strongest. One couldn''t even think about something interesting in it even if he spent decades. Bu that doesn''t mean that Andre had a little amount of knowledge about it. That''s why he knew about the state of war this country is currently experiencing. Plus the importance of Yin attributed items for its security.

    "Mr. Andre, could you please tell me who gave you this information." Said Xin Ley, even the fat in his chubby face couldn''t diminish the seriousness of his expression. An imperial order is to be of absolute secrecy. There shouldn''t be anyone other than the king and his trusted subjects to know about it.

    "Sigh, I shouldn''t have said that. Xin Ley, could you please forget what I said. Don''t want to dwell too much on this subject. Let''s just say that a country that you don''t even need to know about is backing me. It holds no ill intention to this kingdom so don''t worry about it. In fact, you guys might benefit from its interference." Said Andre looking as if embarassed. He already knew about what was going on in this country, and how interested were the guys over at the strongest continent, Saykin. Thus he was using this knowledge to create this whole bullshit story. It''s really weird how but a bunch of bs got him so far...

    "ok I''ll stay quiet. But please don''t do anything idiotic. Having you as an opponent in the battlefield might be of oppressing nature, but if there is no other choice then...." Sighed  Xin Ley and said. His usual happy go lucky tone was turned of. Instead,  the grandeur of a royal ambassador was felt from his speech.

    "Don''t worry, don''t worry... there won''t be any move from us. Well, at least for now... Hope that you guys do your preparations. With that out of the way, how is little Lin? Is he still alive" Said Andre as he leaned a little bit next to Xin Ley. This one was blocking with his body the figure of the muscular Lin.

    "As you see, he is alive and kicking" said Xin Ley as he made space for Andre to see the demortified figure of the poor father.

    "Ouch... I guess that hurt, right?" Said Andre, not looking sorry at all.

    The disfigured Lin had a hideous scar digging through his face. His ears gushed out viscous liquids while his eyelashes were evaporated. He was lucky that he managed to create a qi membrane the moment he heard Andre talking. That''s why his injuries were limited to a disfigured face and a charred torso. He got no internal injury as the golden qi wasn''t particularly harmful. Else even if he had ten other lives he wouldn''t have survived for enough time to have Xin Ley save him.

    "...ouch..." mumbled Lin, as he fell into deep slumber seconds after.

    ''Good job, father. You really did great. Now that we setted up this whole comedy which by the way went wayy beyond my expectation, I think that we''re done with this smart ass'' thought Andre as his eyes warmed up seeing the "heroic" sight of his father. For some the sight of a father randomly getting burned, slapped and bitched around all over the place would be pathetic, but for Andre it wasn''t. It was in fact far from it, as only a truly courageous and smart person will be able to pull off the script that Lin was able to play. A person who won''t care about the world''s opinion as he do what he think of as right, is a person worthy of respect.

    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

    "Oh, well Mr. Andre. I think that I should say this to Lin but seeing the state he is in... oh well, it seems that I overused your hospitality, sorry for that. I need to go check on the other clans, hope that you will excuse me." Said Xin Ley as he heaved a sigh of relief. His weak old heart recieved too much shock in this short period of time, and he was completely drained out.

    "Sigh, sorry for all the inconveniences we had you go through, lord Xin Ley." Said Andre with a faked trace of regret.

    "No worries no worries" said Xin Ley with his everlasting big smile. His chubby face gave him a kawaii impression way different from his usual perverted looking demeanor. "But, should I really not worry about what you said before. Can we keep contact. That way I know what to expect" said Xin Ley with a trace of fear showing on his face. He was a close to be full fledged perverted idiot, true. But he still had his own feelings for his country, he can''t just see danger heading for Sylvia* and stand there waiting for things to happen. In fact, the only reason why he still didn''t try killing Andre was because of the "friendship" bond he created with this array master in this short period of time.

    There is also a more pragmatic reason as for why he had no extreme reaction. A super angry random fight wouldn''t only be detrimal to him for already stated reason, Andre is an array master after all. But it will also be for Sylvia, as the country backing this mysterious person seem to be overpowering. If it''s a country able to back a possibly level 4 array master, it should at the very least be a notch above his. If it wasn''t even really trying to create any trouble, then by taking Andre as an enemy he would have spelt doom for Sylvia. But if it was planning against them, then he would have just accelerated the process. Plus having Andre as an ally might save him. So it''s either an absolute win if he choose to be a friend of this mysterious master, or an overpowering defeat if he choose to go against him. Only an idiot wouldn''t know what option to choose.

    "Oh well, good bye" said Andre with a tired voice.

    "En, ah. By the way, that metamorphosis trick you pulled there was pretty good. You had me surprised when I saw the state of Yuki. But since that other clan already told me tails about her beauty, it was easy to guess what actually happened once I knew that there was an array master here. That was a good decision, if it was any other envoy, no, in fact even me would have done some nasty things if she caught my interest. This is but a shitty clan in a weak city after all. Well, I guess it is not so much now that I know about you hahaha. But then, I wouldn''t have done anything if you just showed me the potential of little Xin hahaha" Laughed Xin Ley wildly, he regained his usual composer and chubby appearance as the trace of pervertedness that flashed in his face disappeared.

    ''Sigh, are you serious Xin Ley, I thought that you were better than this. Do you really think that you would have cared about the potential of little Xin if you already did the deed and cooked the uncooked rice. You would have only thought of him as a threat to be rid off as fast as possible. That''s why I did all this shit, wonder why it turned out this way. It was supposed to end with just him seeing mother and going insane. Ah, so tired. This body already went past what it could handle''

    "Hmm? Why are you silent all of a sudden?" Asked Xin Ley

    "Nah, just a little bit tired. I''ll go sleep for a while" Said Andre with a sigh.

    "Have a good sleep then, mister Andre" Said Xin Ley as he left the heavily damaged room.

    "Thanks.." said Andre as he slept next to Yuki. His body as time passed regressed to his original baby state. The little Yin of before started disappearing, and a doll took it place. After a little bit of time passed the doll automatically turned into dust and only a bright piece of black iron was remaining.

    In the meantime, Yuki was still soundlessly sleeping.

    *Sylvia is the country he is in as of now. Don''t know if I already named it before with another name

    Hey guys, sorry I was on physics class as I was finishing this chapter so I couldn''t really do an author note. Now I can, so let''s begin

    First, for the time that I spent before posting this chapter. It actually wasn''t just wasted time. I thought that I had noticed a possible plot hole earlier chapters so I went to checking them. I am talking about my qi system, I thought at first that if little Xin did what I actually said then there is a high chance that he would die. But after much debating I thought aboit a way where he have a 100% chance of living and not damn destroying his dantian. I could have just editted the hlwholr true process in, but decided against and thought of using it at later chapters.

    I also edited the chapters from 1 to 14 and I hope that they are more readeable

    By the way, I left some hints on possible future event s all over the place. Both in the editting and when I first wrote the chapters. So let''s play a game and see if you can find them

 Question that are left unanswered will be answered here

    Okay, I have seen that some of you were confused and I guess that it''s my bad. I actually never tell the whole information as I use the limited 3rd person. This style of writing give me the possibility of having the reader attached emotionally to the characters but at the same time can''t let me express full ideas. My rhythm also impose a certain lapse of time where I need to tell ypu as much as I could without info dumping. But my inexperience play the biggest role, so I''m sorry on that.

    First: Why did Yin Xian wait for the ambassador to come so that he break through?

    Well, it is pretty simple. Know that what Yin Xian actually attempted to do when purifying his Qi by familiarizing it with elements was a nwver seen before case. He has no damn idea what could happen as even god library (at least the first level of it) didn''t have any record on it. There is so many unknown variables that he couldn''t risk breaking through while everyone''s attention was on him. If by some chance his parent or anybody actually knows that Yin Xian broke through the baby realm, for Yin Xian it would have been a catastrophe. What kind of reaction will they have? When will the other clans know about it and what would there reaction be? How limited will his planning options be now that he is a recognised geniuse? So many variable and such great risk for no benefit.

    That''s why Yin Xian waited until some kind of major event will either camouflage him completely,  or at least take the attention out of him.

    2: Why an ambassador, what is he doing here?

    I already talked about the profecy wayy back then, before the ambassador even came. That''s the reson for Xin Ley''s parade through the region. But if you want a deeper understanding of what is actually happening, then I''ll have to talk about politics and what''s actually happening behind the scene. Well kinda (I''m not going to spoil you or anything, will just talk about the reson why he came to crimson moon city, which could be written in the story on one line).

    Let''s say that you''re a king, and that you know that by the end of the year a hole bunch of crazy monsters will be born as children of your country. You also know that other countries will also experience the same changes. And by consequent,  the country you''rw wagging war with too. The smartest decision you could make is to immediately send royal envoys all over the country to have a better under standing of the new overall level of your country. This give you multiple choices as you could change your politics and the royal student course that the next king will be going through. And obviously make him adapt to the new changes. You will also have a bigger time span to adapt your political reflexes as the datas that you''re working with as a basis had a radical change. You would aldo send spies to the country you''re wagging war against but that''s for later.

    Notice that I give importance to the War, this wad a hint.

    3: Why are the son and mother duo aka Yuki and Yin Xian thinking of Xin Ley as a disgusting pervert? Why is he actually nice? What''s going on here?!!

    Let me just tell you guys that you really don''t pay attention to the details. Notice that whenever I said disgusting fellow and was talking about Xin Ley, it was either from Yin, Lin or Yuki''s perspective.  I also talked about him that way frm limited 3rd person kinda like ( said Andre as he was contemplating the disgusting figure of Xin Ley) but note that I only said that because Andre should have already said something like ( Xin Ley, that disgusting pervert). Note that these exemples aren''t in the story and are here just to give a better idea about what''s going on. My MC isn''t that idiotic of a fellow, he be full of prejudice but still.

    The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

    Now let''s talk about why the trio actually THOUGHT of Xin Ley as disgusting.  Well, let''s just say that this is a world where steong eat weak and that if you lived in a medieval setting thing such as fucking a married women and then killing her husband and her whole clan were of second nature. Just watch Game of thrones anf you''ll understand. In fact, there is no need to talk about a medieval setting. Just today''s society give room for fucking the homeless, if you don''t believe then just go to the getto or whatever you guys in your country call it and you''ll see things you wished never seeing.

    As for the actual personality of Xin Ley, then I would say that he is close to a mix of a random comic character, jiraya and chogi. Plus a medieval touch of natural blood and gore as it should be Lol, he is a royal eblnvoy who lived his life like a tenryubito after all.

    The misunderstanding was already cleared up in the story, but since there was no scene describing it I''ll just say it here. (My character lack too much emotions, and therefore lack regret which oblige me to give no thoughts about the misunderstanding. He normally wouldn''t even think about it. Yes he is that egocentric)

    4: Who is Andre?

    The MC who made himself change appearance through the metamorphosis spell, and created a character for himself as time went on and by bullshitting everyone.

    5: If the MC is Andre then who is little Yin

    By this question, do you mean the term little Yin. If it''s that then little Yin stand for Yin Xian. But the little Yin that the other characters talked about (meaning Lin and Xin Ley) was but a doll created by the true Yin Xian as stated in the last chapter. He actually created a Yin attributed piece of black iron and just had a regulating array formation control the force by which the Yin Qi was actually emitted.  As for where did he find the pure Yin Qi needed to concentate it on a chunk of black iron, well I would just say that you need to remember the residue Qi his mother ejected on her breakthrough.  He actually amassed quite a bit of it and left it in a place that I would talk about in the next book. By the way, the piece of black iron was basically as big a rock but even then it turned to dust immediately after finishing its job. Inside the doll of course as it wasn''t noticed by anyone.

    As for the yan Qi stone. Well it''s the stone that was shown at the end of the chapter. Yin don''t have that much yan Qi to spare and that''s the reason why it was but a burst type formation thatbhe used.

    Now comes the doll and I would only say. GO REREAD WHAT I WROTE TO DAMN UNDERSTAND I ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF CREATING SOMETHING FROM JUST QI. As for the actual process, well it''s a clear spoiler so I won''t say anything.

    6: Why was there a burst of yan qi qt the end?

    Little Yin have yan qi. How could he explain this fact whilr they know that he have terminal divil Yin Qi

    7: why was then any need for that all yin cold sonething chunnibiyou part

    Well, I would just say that Yin/Andre needed to leave a big impression on Xin Ley as he will need him afterward. And having just a burst of Yan Qi coming out of his "body" would only make Xin Ley think that the poor boy detonated himself and that''s it. Yin needed to rise tension with whatever was on hand. And what did he had most of? Yeah it''s his mother''s Yin Qi.

    8: Who is little Xin?

    I just misspelled little Yin and wrote little Xin. At some point it became an habit for some reason.

    Well please do ask any question that you have in mind. If I can''t reply without spoiling then I''ll say "I can''t reply". If I can, welI I will

 Book 2 chapter 1

    Ch 21

    After the whole ordeal with lord Xin Ley was finished, my family had a period of prosperity. This little break helped in building a base for the new blood. The junior generation had so much more potential, it would be a waste if they couldn''t exploit even half of it. Fortunately, fate seemed to smile upon us. The black iron mine which was our main souce of income, surprisingly had multiple great veins of Yin attributed metals. It was called "cold iron". As for the reason why did they only discover it  now, well.. that''s a secret.

    In the short span of two years, my power upgraded by leaps and bounds. I was already in the middle of the martial practitionner realm, with a power of a level 2 core holder. At this point, I was by far the strongest in the city; probably even the region. I actually focused on building my foundation as much as I could, but between thinking of the long term amd getting immediate benefits, one shouldn''t go to either extreme. You only need to plan things out, see what is vital for you and work toward it.

    For me, the problem wasn''t the far future, neither was it the near one. It was the middle. For I, being the person who waste the least time in the world, should probably be a level higher than most by now. And if I remember well, I was still few levels higher than the other top dogs in the godly library; the artificial bodies they created at first were of low quality and thus decayed easily. That mistake gave me enough time to set a gap between us, that miraculously lasted until the end of the 30 years given to us. By having already experienced the multiple higher levels, I got enough understanding enabling me to easily pass through the stages. Plus, I had no drawbacks as I didn''t use any forbidden technique or such. This boost in speed should have probably gave me more than enough time for me to use to build the best foundation.

    But, this head-start will only be of short notice. You need to remember that I am in a pretty poor clan. A clan with a mysterious history behind it, yes, but still a damn poor one which will give me a bad handicap. Ah, to see those idiots wayyy worse than me, but having such a benefits. Sigh, it''s really the only thing that can stir up my irritation. But, I guess that it was always this way, be it in game or in real life money always talk.

    Sigh, those fuckers should be soaking in medicinal herbs and qi boosting pills by now, truly dammit.

    Oh, well. Thinking about what benefit they are enjoying right now wouldn''t give me anything, so let''s forget about that. Sigh..

    "Hey, Yin. What are you doing here?" Said QuingXu

    Ah, this is my friend. Another chosen or so, let''s just go with reincarnator. As for why do I have a friend, I already said that I don''t really try to keep contact with others? Well, I also said that I don''t run away from it either.

    "Nothing much, just wasting the little bit of time that I can freely use." I said while not changing my sitting position. As I bathed in the rays of the sun, my soul was cleneased and body rejuvenated. The purple qi of the east was at its strongest, but I didn''t dare consume it as I already made my qi into a pure fire one. Adding the holy attribute of the sun into it will only serve as a hindrance.

    "Hey, master. Is it alright if I wasted some of your time." said Xu-chan under his breath. The "master" he was talking about earlier was obviously me, don''t know why he call me that way.

    "If it''s you, then I guess that it''s of no problem. But before that, I''m gonna show you a place that will be your training center afterward." I said as I got up from my little nap. The grass underneath my feet tickled me, as my 1,2m short stature dashed toward the back of the main building.

    "Yahoo, thanks sensei!!" said QuingXu as he followed me with his full strength. His speed is a notch above everyone, so he might be a wind or lightning attributed. That will be good, as, if I believe what he told me, he actually stayed solo for the whole time in the godly library. He don''t like being used, or so he said.

    "Sigh, as excited as ever. But, can you please drop the sensei. It feels too damn wannabe for God''s sake!!" I said a "little bit" irritated at his overuse of half backed japanese culture.

    "Hehe, oh well I''m bound to be excited, you said that you''re going to give me a training center after all."

    "Give you, did I really say that? I just told you that you''re going to use it as a training center, not that it will be yours. If you don''t show any potential in the lapse of time I will give you, then you will have to fight for it yourself. All the other guys in the clan will be your rivals"

    "Heeh, b..but Why? Sigh, oh well fighting for things might be good for a change." Said QuingXu "well, that''s how things always were" he mumbled. His last words were of such a low frequency that even with the noise clarity of the surrounding, Yin Xian couldn''t hear it.

    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

    As we dashed through the main building we found ourself in a barren land, void of any recources. Seem like this one was just for mining purposes, but since there was no one working or any trace of work for that matter, one can''t say for sure.

    "Oh well, it''s here" I said as I was finally able to catch my breath. I may have extraordinary muscle power and qi, but my blood circulation isn''t that great; old habits die hard.

    "Eh? Master... there is nothing here.." said QuingXu confused.

    "Ah, in fact there is. Can you tell me where do we stand" I said as neutrally as I can; if I don''t kill this habit of mocking anyone I see, I''m going to have my ass kicked when THAT girl comes around.

    "Well, let''s see" said Xu-chan as his expression turned slightly serious. He is quite like me, we both take challenges pretty seriously; that gamer blood run through both our veins. "first of all, we''re close to the main building of the clan. The hall where all transactions are made. Next to it, at 500 meters from here, there is the black iron mine, or more like the cold iron mine for now. So, then the.... wait, the cold iron mine, isn''t that spanning to here too. Do you by some chance mean..." said Xu-chan as his baby face brightened up. His short 1.05m stature seemed particulary excited as his little chibby hands danced around. If someone saw him in this state, never would he think that he is a reincarnator. Maybe that''s an effect of his body, since for some reason I too seem too happy go lucky than usual.

    "Yeah, the training center will be the mine. As we will use the abnormal level of yin qi to train both our adaptation, and speed up our body training." I clarified whatever point he might have missed in his deduction; a bright face never really tell anything.

    "But then, why did we stop here for..." his words were cut out by my pointing downside finger. My evermasked behind my back left hand dropped a sound making array. My left foot backshooted it a pretty far away distance as my pointing downside right hand turned into a tightly shut fist. BOOOOOOM!!!!

    It seemed that little Xu wasn''t prepared for the explosion as he lost his balance in midest the falling, giant rocks with a big shout. Hope that no one is beneath us -cross fingers-

    The fall was but of few seconds, but I''m sure that for little Xu it should have been as long as animes make them to be, hahaha. Oh well, let''s check if we killed anyone as we fell.

    "Hey, is anyone here"

    "...."

    "Seem like fine, yeay, at least with this I won''t have to waste time being reprimanded by father" as I finally got to sigh in relief, a weird shriek made me jump out of terror.

    "Ahhh!! My ankle. Damn it, I think that it broke!!" Screamed QuingXu. Good thing that I actually had that sound masking array cover us.

    "Seriously, you should already be at the middle of adult level by now. How can your ankle possibly be broken from a random fall?!"

    "B..but it hurts.." said Xu-chan with big watery eyes. If anyone saw him, he might think that he is one of those moe characters of the legends; I knew better than that.

    "En, ok. Then you just stay here and wait for help. I''m going to train for a bit, you can''t since your ankle is broken after all, right?" I said as my figure started disappearing in the shadows of this cave. I already knew that he was only doing this to start making me bit by bit think of him as a student; he doesn''t need to do that tho.

    "Hey! Master, please come back I''m sorry. I will never try to do it again." Said Xu-chan as genuine fear started emerging from his. Who could blame him, there is nothing but darkness in this cave and no one will ever search as far as here. As for will I come back, are you damn kidding him, he know me better than anyone muwahahahaha.

    "Get your ass the hell up and come here, if you don''t want me to leave you there that is" I said as my steps didn''t stop even for a bit. My hands were as ever crossed behind my back, and my short stature made even more difficult to distinguish between the various shadows haunting the cave.

    "Ok ok, here I come" said QuingXu as he dashed with his upmost speed. It seems that he was scared out of his wits. For some reason, he was never chill with dark places, guess that it''s just because of his body.

    "Wow, what is...this?" said QuingXu while gasping at the faeric scenery. As the torrent of pure water flowed down vericaly from the waterfall,  crashing down on the water source, blue light illuminated the scene giving the scenery a holy and pure feeling.

    "Ah, this. Well, it''s our new training center."

 Book 2 chapter 2 the first fight

    Ch 22

    "Whoaaa, sensei you''re so cool" exclaimed Xu-chan at the top of his lungs.

    "How did you even reach that conclusion, it''s not as if I sculpted this place from scratch" I said with a low voice as to not make the roof crumble. This area hasn''t been mined and by such don''t have any pillars supporting it; any echo might make it crumble.

    As my steps hastened, my feets cruched the brambles and vines beneath it. Multiple insects like dragonflies roamed around, showing how pure is the water as they drank from it.

    "Dragonflies are indicators of the high purity of a water source. You can drink from it with no problem at all, I already checked in the godly library before and it seems that it also hold true for this world."

    "Oh, thank you for the info master. I never thought to check any survival guide type of book in that place. I bet that no one other than you did." Said Xu-chan with reverence showing in his eyes.

    "Heh, no one did? Hahaha. I know that even if earth was even more disappointing than what I thought it was, there is at least two persons which would have thought the same thing that I did. But, since I already experienced the crazy competition of those korean, chinese, pinoy gamer. I''m sure that there is many others which would have thought the same." I said as memories of the distant past flooded my mind. Ah, if there is one thing that this world actually lose out in against earth, it would be the lack of games.

    "Pinoys?" Said QuingXu confused. But that''s normal, this name is rarely used. Plus the random racisme that Eu players hold for them make it even rarer for it to be pronounced.

    "Filipinos, they are filipnos" I clarified.

    "Ah, so you''re talking about the everlasting overlords of browser mmos, haha" laughed Xu-chan wildly, it seems that he have quite the story with them.

    "Oh well, being nostalgic is good and all, but let''s not waste time anymore. Ah, it seems that we reached our training place"

    "Wait, what are those shiny, dark blue rocks" said QuingXu as he pointed with his index toward the dark blue crystals littered around the floor. An everlasting cluster of fluorescent rocks covering the floor and enlightening the space.

    "Oh, that''s the famous cold iron that everyone was talking about. It''s just that this one is more pure, more...devilish"

    "Devilish, what do you mean by that?" Asked Xu-chan in confusion.

    "Hmm, are you familiar with the devil yin qi" I answered

    "Hmm yeah, the host of such a desease can''t go past the adult level, else the devil qi in his dantian will rebel and destroy his body, anhhilating it from the inside. All records of such a syndrom have all one thing in common and that is all those who have been victim of devil qi were heaven breaking geniuses. This fact led to a misconception: Anyone that host this cursed qi is fated to not live past 4. The reason for such a thinking is that each one of these host was a geniuse who reached the limit of the adult realm before the age of 4." Announced Xu-chan as if reciting an encyclopedia.

    "Yeah, you saved me the trouble" I said as I took out a hand sized rock, played with it a little, and then crushed it. The yin qi that was sealed within finally broke free as the temperature of the room dropped sharply.

    "Brr...cold..." mumbled Xu-chan as his body was shivering all over; his skin started to become numb while his brain was ordering his body to adapt.

    "Oh, already surrending. But things just started to be fun" I dashed with all my speed as I thrown a right hand uppercut. My timing was too off as I had to go back so that it connect. Obviously, Xu-chan dodged it. I tried jabbing a little so that I get some hold on my body, but they were either too slow or too soft.

    Seeing me in this state, QuingXu regained some of his confidence as he throwed a punch to my face. I easily dodged it as my body leaned to the right side. I closed in so that he won''t any room to dodge as I swinged my right hand to his left cheek. I made sure to keep the level of my qi the same as his so that it would be as fair as possible, and also so that I train my control over it.

    ****

    As time passed, my control over my body became more refined. There was little to no waste in my movements after some time passed, 2 hours to be exact. But if my adaptation could be called monstruous, then Xu-chan''s would be in the realm of the impossible. His wild attacks leave almost all of his body as an oppening, but for some reason I get the feeling that if I ever try to hit him then I would be the one who would be in the losing end. His attacks are completely suicidal, he would basically sacrifice his whole body to kill you.

    "Huf..huf..." I was already tired, too damn tired. Making a damn neet do this much work, are you fucking trying to kill me?!!

    Bruises covered our ankles, elbows, arms and face. No place in our body was left untouched as we forged our bodies through fight. I dashed toward Xu trying to do a tai boxing elbow blow, I boosted my speed by a fire combustion to have him lose his timing to block it, it connected.

    As his teeth were falling out of his mouth covered by blood and saliva, and his body losing its balance leaning to the left side, I do a low kick so to finish a combo. His knee made cracking sound as it slightly deformed. Normally, I would have been too scared to do this, I mean, why would I go to such lengths. Plus it''s my first fight, so I''m not used to the sight of blood, and the sound of bones cracking. But I knew better. I knew that if I were to be soft against this guy, then dying might not be so bad of an outcome. Xu-chan is completely different in his fighting mode, it''s as if he was a different entity than the usually shy boy.

    After I finished my combo, Xu-chan rapidly regained his balance. I tried to do a 360 spin kick, but as I knew that such a slow hit would only get me killed, I used the same trick as before to boost its speed. The result was a sonic rotation that made even me dizzy. I tried my best to control my output as I accurately aimed toward his head, but something was amiss. His usual wild composure disappeared to give place to a cool, unfocused one; I knew what was going to happen.

    As the front of my foot was at but few centimeters away from his left cheek, Xu-chan suddenly disappeared from my view. I knew that this was going to happen and already predicted his next course of action. He probably had an adrenaline rush which made him have temporary instant reflexes. The only oppening where he could disappeare into is beneath my still flying right foot. In less than 0.6s, he would probably be already behind me. I needed around a whole second to finish my move as that qi push made my body quite hard to control. Then that only leave me with one choice.

    As Xu-chan disappeared out of my view, I made sure to prepare a focused fire platform in the space where my right foot will land. I had a fire barrier ready behind my back, to feel instantly afterward a force push me from behind destroying it. As I turn around the first thing that caught my eye was the figure of a blood eyed, savage looking QuingXu. His whole body was covered with more or less deep cuts, ones reaching even the bone. Some of his joints were deformed, but he standed tall as if he didn''t care. As I saw the state he was in, thinking "how the heck did this training reach such serious margins?!", my right foot finally landed on the focused fire plateform. As my leg fingers touch it, the platform explose giving birth to a shockwave strong enough to propel me toward the 2 meters away Xu. He probably didn''t predict my reflexes to be this good as a surprised expression emerged from his face, but I knew better than to underestimate him. I created two focused fire balls both in his right and in his left side. My crouched position made it so that he can''t go past me through any oppening. This leave him with two options: Either fly away or back dash. The first one being impossible as I already knew his level and he can''t even afford to jump as it will take too much time, forget about flying. Or go back where there is a nice surprise behind him: a wall.

    As predicted Xu-chan tried back dashing to get out of my check mate. But noticing the wall behind him he bitted the bullet and side dashed toward the right. The focused fire ball immediately ignited to let him experience a shockwave propeling him toward me. He tried adjusting his position so that he can use this gained cynetic energy to help him give an evem stronger attack than his usuals. But, did he really think that I would give him the time to do that? Before he even finished balancing himself, he was already in my fire range. Multiple punchs, kicks and balls of blue fire qi bombarded his already messed up body. I only stopped hitting him after I was sure that he lost consciousness.

    "Huff.. huff. Dammit what the heck? Is this guy some damn monster" I cursed under my breath as I had no energy left to speak. My consciousness also drifted away as darkness started engulfing my vision.

    ********

    Author Note: hi guys, it''s been a while that I posted a double chapter. my release speed also dropped down drastically, but that''s because of the many things I have to do irl. Also, I''m going to play with you a little game: if I recieve more than 10 REAL comments in this chapter before the next one is up, and one other review. Then in the next few days, I might go back to my super wawawa release speed (at least a chapter a day, if not then 2)

    Btw, this is actually the first fight in the serie Lol hahah. Talk about being slow paced hahaha.

 Book 2 chapter 3 and different reactions

    Ch 23

    After my tedious battle with Xu-chan finally ended, I gave both ourselves a break so that our wounds heal. Trying to keep our parents from noticing our miserable state was the hardest part. Remember that we are still but 2 years old little boys, our parents barely see us as anything older than a toddler. With the little to no time that I had, I just accelerated the regeneration of our face''s skin as that is the most noticeable place.

    Xu-chan was still unconscious by the time I finished healing both of our facial wounds, but that''s normal as when I hitted him, I made sure to not be soft else I might have been the one unconscious as of now. As Xu-chan was still in deep slumber, I rushed back to my father''s room to get some alcohol. No one was there as expected because father was usually just hunting in the desolate forest. He said that he lost all of his pride when he had to deal with both Xin Ley and Andre; this is detrimal for his future progress. So to get back his pride and dignity, he went to the desolate forest fighting wild magical beast of the peak adult level. Mother advised against it numbers of time, she basically begged him to stop his foolishness. But he made her remember when she decided to go against her own fate, thus she stopped. She already knew that he was not going to listen, she knew that he was a stubborn guy who won''t just leave himself to rot away, but she couldn''t just see him facing danger without saying anything, or so she mumbled in her sleep. A man has his duties, and a wife has her own, she can only wipe her tears waiting for his return and praying for his welfare.

    "Now, now. Where do you keep your stuff father. By the way, I still need to ask you why the heck do you sleep in a different room than mother''s. Oh, well let''s leave that for another time. Now, if I was father, where will I keep my drinks." I mumbled as my hands searched beneath father''s bed. My fingers touch something hard and cold, Bingo. I take out the bottle of wisky, or "the heaven burning drops of god" as they call it here, it''s too long and a damn mouthful so I''ll just go with wisky. The bottle had no campany name written on it, because of obvious reasons, there is no campany in this world. Maybe some businessman from earth will create one.

    "Ok, my job here is done. Let''s get back to Xu-chan. Ah, it''s really my good fortune that I made it an habbit training with Xu-chan the whole day. Well, mother call it playing, but who cares" As I took out the bottle I dashed back to the mine. Father''s room was closer to the main building, and by such I didn''t have to go back to the main entrance of the mine. It was already such a hastle to exit it from the main entry unnoticed, going back from there would be too risky. I jumped in the pit I created earlier, my body bounced between the rocks emerging from the surface of the hole. I was already too much of a mess to try and jump the whole 15 meters with no support whatsoever.

    As I finally reached the surface, I ran toward the still unconscious Xu-chan. Ay, it seems that I went too overboard, or maybe this is a blacklash of that wild mode of his, normally that kind of speed should have been impossible at his level, guess that he just turned off his limiters and now he is suffering from exhaustion.

    "Sorry man, this will hurt like hell" I apologized as I poured down alcohol on his wounds. Maybe one would think that this process is unnecessary, but know that the imunity system of a practitionner is only automatically strengthened when he reach the martial practitionner level. I might be safe of infection, but he isn''t.

    "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! It hurtsssss!!!!" Screamed QuingXu in agony. Gods and ghosts'' shriek paled in comparison to this cry.

    "Hang in there, hang in Xu-chan.  This pain shouldn''t be sharper than the one you felt as I beated you up." I said with compassion. I''m sure that if he was in any conscious state, then he would have beated my ass up to no end. Best way to show your compassion to someone: make him remember the times where you beated him up Lol.

    As his strangled cries transformed into moans, and then into hic-ups, I was doing my new daily routine of 10000 side kick, 10000 low kick, 1000 360 spin kick. I noticed that I use my legs more than my hands as these were too accustomed to gaming. I still do 10000 normal punch, but there is no variety in it; in a fight, they''ll probably just be used for feints or when I use qi.

    It was already sunset when Xu-chan finally finished his routine of waking up, screaming in pain, then losing consciousness once again. By that time, I also finished my training regime. As we both went home, two figures in different places went to bed exhausted. One because of a whole day of training, and the other... for some reason.

    At dawn on the next day, I got up from bed to start my usual qi cultivation session. I might be interested in my body training, but I won''t neglect my qi cultivation. Plus, for some reason one can only absorb a certain amount of qi a day, the rest of the time used on it is for refining purposes. My cultivation session take around two hours a day, and since I refine my qi as I absorb it, I have no need for wasting anymore time on it.

    As the pure qi of the east showered me, a refreshing sensation pulsed out through my body. There was no purple qi at this time so I could absorb it with no trouble. The holy element is shown mostly at 12.00 where the sun is at its highest.

    "Master, should we go to our training place." I was at my usual cultivation place: the training court. This is where the senior cultivators train. There are many facilities in here, but they are all low graded stuff.

    "Wow, you''re still going at it. Yesterday you were in a worse state than Bill Maplewood. You were that messed up. And you still want to go at it." I said as my usual habbit of doing bad sexual jokes.

    "Wow, that was a pretty bad joke. And why Bill of all things. dafuq are you comparing me to a pedo damn phile." Said Xu-chan disheartened.

    "Haha don''t mind, don''t mind. It''s just that I prepared a pretty hardcore training, so I am not sure if you''re really going for it."

    "Hardcore? You kinda messed up my conception of hardcore yesterday, so how is it? Less hardcore than yesterday or more" answered Xu-chan truthfully.

    "Haha, well yesterday was an exception as you went full gohan ss2 mode. But you can think of it as pretty similar hahaha"

    "Pretty similar.... sigh, oh damn"

    ******

    Haha, like I predicted, the quota wasn''t reached. Now we will do another game. I want but one other review, that''s the only thing you have to do to get that little pack of one chapter everyday for A whole week. (Never said when that week will be, but I promise to not do that in another 1k year bs)

 Book 2 chapter 4 and start of hype training

    Ch 24

    After Yin Xian basically told QuingXu that he is going to die, the duo went back to their training center. As usual they reached their secret place using the pit, as going back to it from the entry of the mine would be too supcisious. As for how did no one find that random hole in the middle of nowhere. The reason is that Yin Xian filled that hole using earth elemental spiritual energy to connect the pieces of rock he is trying to fill in with the gap, and the surface of the pit. That way, no one feel anything supcisious. As for why did no one notice it before the pit was filled. Well, who will be so interested in a land barren of life, the normal training center is at the other side of the main building and that''s where everyone usually gather.

    "Eh, master. Will we be doing the same thing as yesterday? I mean, there is nothing really to do here." Asked Xu. But his confusion wasn''t baseless, there was nothing other than devil qi that could serve as a training material in this "secret" place of theirs.

    "Oh really. Well, if there is no training material we''ll create our own. Can you see that waterfall?"

    "Well yeah, I can but... will withstanding that puny pressure do anything. We''re way past that level of training." Said QuingXu assured of his propositions.

    "Hoh, well aren''t those some pretty confident words you have there. Hope that you do remember them as you go through the training I prepared for you. Haha" laughed Yin Xian as little drops of saliva shot out of his mouth, he tried covering it for lack of respect, but remembering his motto he stopped caring about it. His habbit of mocking everyone he meet resurfaced as he made QuingXu create the very trap he was going to fall in. It seems that those distant memories of the past were close to be forgotten as he wouldn''t have dared to do so in earth. The reason was obviously HER.

    "Xu-chan, do you see those cold iron rocks thingy?" Asked Yin Xian with his everlasting light smile.

    "Yeah.." said QuingXu confused, he didn''t get the hints that his master was conveying to him.

    "Well, you take them out, go to the water source, submerge it in and CRUSH it, okay?" Said Yin Xian as a matter of course.

    "Nope, not okay at all. How the heck do I crush it?!! It''s cold iron C-O-L-D D-A-M-N I-R-O-N, Okay. It''s not something that you can just come and crush for no reason whatsoever as if it''s made out of bread." Shouted QuingXu hysterically. The randomly impossible situations this master of his made him go through, had him gone completely out of character. He is usually the shy and servile type of person, but what Yin Xian ignited on him was the spark of rebellion that no one managed to catalysis.

    "Hmm who knows, maybe the same way I did" said the little master with an amaranthine, termless mocking smile. His, made anyone bear a feeling of inferiority deeply engraved in the chest.

    "oh, so you''re saying that I should just be awesome and do it, right?" Asked QuingXu with a deep sigh. One can see him buckling under this master of his'' unreasonable requirements.

    This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

    "Wow, you just compared me to the things I hated the most. I feel insulted. Oh well, in fact you don''t need to be super darky awesome to crush this cold iron. Note that I said THIS damn cold iron, as these rocks are newly formed and are basically just a fragile containers of devil Yin qi. The ones that are at the beginning of the mine aren''t, so don''t try your luck in crushing them." Explained Yin Xian with great "stoicism". This so called patience, however, was not going to last long.

    "Okay, that''s good. You understand now, will you please do what I said and fill water with Yin qi. I have a nice surprise for you afterwards." Continued Yin Xian with little restraint.

    After the little master finished speaking, QuingXu didn''t waste anymore words as he started crushing stones within the lake, pouring down devil Yin qi in the process. As time passed, the bored past-gamer started purifying his qi. At this point, hours of training might not show any significant progress, but it''s only by adding up those little bits that a gap between competitors is formed.

    After a long enough time passed, Yin Xian had QuingXu stop crushing stones. By this point, his hands were close to bleeding from all this monotonous process.

    "Okay, that''s it. Great job Xu-chan and thanks for the hard work. We may start the true training now. Let''s go closer next to the waterfall." Said Yin Xian as he finally got up of his sitting position.

    "Okay, sure... wait, wasn''t that shit you made me do the hellish training you were talking about?" Said QuingXu as he finally sobered up of his dazed state. Just having to crush those rocks for 2 hours made him worned out mentally,  one can guess what would happen if he is pushed any further.

    "huh, what the damn heck were you thinking? What did you think was all these preparations for? Maybe just for the sake of swag?" Asked Yin Xian with a mocking look in his eyes. He pitied the young child for what is going to happen to him, but laughed his ass off at his reactions.

    "Swag, lol I didn''t hear that for 32 years now, right? Oh well, let''s get done with this shit." Said QuingXu as he recalled the memories of the distant past.

    "You might not want to get so careless with your language. Else, you might have some troubles with your parents." Reminded Yin Xian.

    "Yeah, I''ll remember that" replied QuingXu.

    ******

    Author Note: ok, it seems that no one posted a review. I actually waited for so much before writing this chapter for it, but alas. Oh well, who cares about that now. So here is the deal: if I don''t get a review before posting a chapter, well it will end on a cliffhanger. Yeah, kinda like this one, I had you hyped for the training for so long but just decided stopping right before it Lol im evil.

 FYI

    Hi, kazumi here. You might have noticed the lack of updates this last few weeks (or more like months) well,  I had too many things going.

    First, I got a mentor, no, in fact two mentors, so I am learning from the Yandere darkling and DarkSun. Both are masterful authors that I respect enormously.

    Second, edits. I am trying to edit the first chapters. If you noticed, the quality of the first few ch raised enormously and some of the confusion was cleared up.

    Third, edits. This time, it''s not my story that I edited but multiple others. I check the latest updates now and then and help some authors out.

    Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

    Fourth, I am working with a friend of mine in a collaborative project. I don''t know if this had been done before, but I became a co-author of daemonikuto the great go... let''s drop the nick name and go with daemonikuto.

    Here is the link to the story I''m working on

 Book 2 chapter 5 and water dragons

    Ch 25

    After QuingXu finally calmed down, the duo went on their way upclose to the waterfall. With unsteady steps, QuingXu walked through the distance between the most right extremity of the source and the waterfall.

    Upclose, QuingXu was englufed by the scenery. The sheer volume of water crashing down, and the successive loud booms made him rethink if he really wanted to do it.

    "So, it''s pretty easy, right?" Trolled Yin Xian. He liked taunting QuingXu* as that showed more and more of his hidden personality.

    "Of course that it''s pretty eaass... no, who am I kidding? Hey, damn you, why did you do that? Taunting me like that, you knew that my bragging personality will kill me. Are you trying to get me killed" exclaimed QuingXu as he put all the blame on his master. QuingXu was usually your random normal boot licking person, but Yin Xian pushed him to the extreme. This young master in front of him was shrewd, too shrewd. He just had him pushed beyond the boundaries of his capacity once, and QuingXu''s true personality was shown. At this point what was the use of boot licking, everything was already seen through.

    "haha, okay. Let''s stop teasing you, else you might blow up from the stress. Damn, wow, you really don''t have that much resistance." Said Yin as he approached QuingXu slowly.

    "Haha, thanks for the compliment. Oh well, now, what should I do?" Said QuingXu relieved that his master will finally stop annoying him.

    "Ah well, nothing really. Just try not to die" said Yin Xian as he pushed QuingXu from behind.

    "Ahh!!" Screamed as he was thrown, only that an another shriek sounded out as he made contact with water.

    "TOOO DAMMMN COOLLLDDD!!!!!" Screamed QuingXu.

    "Hahahaha, if it''s just cold then you''re pretty lucky. Wait for the devil qi to come in and you''ll see hahahaha" Yin''s sinister laugher would send shiver down the spine of the devil. As his eccentric, ecstatic laugher sounded out, QuingXu was starting to panic. The poor boy wasted no time cursing his master for he had better to do. With all the power he could muster, he tried channeling his qi with haste in his vein. He had to counter the devil qi while it still didn''t propane, else he is in some real trouble.

    As QuingXu finally located where the devil qi was mostly concentrated, he tried pushing it with his own qi out of his body throughout his pores. The devil qi was still englufing him from outside while it slowly ravaged its way through his channels. He tried narrowing as much as he could his pores, but the process was nerve stirring and heart wrenching. The devil qi outside his body had hard time penetrating it, seeing this QuingXu was overjoyed. He tried pushing as much as he could the devil qi stuck on his veins. The process was slow and tedious, but it was everlasting and invariable. This made him sigh mentally in relief as he can as time pass get this atrocity out of his body.

    Time passes and two hours are in the blink of an eye wasted. QuingXu reached the final process of having the devil qi kicked out through his pores. But then, he noticed a problem.

    ''I can''t open my pores''

    Yeah, QuingXu can''t possibly open his pores. The reason for that is the surrounding devil qi. If by some chance QuingXu decide to open his pores, all the surrounding, accumulated devil qi will engluf him, destroying him from the inside. But if he don''t do something and fast, all the devil qi that the lake hold will surround him and carve a poth through his narrowed pores. The result of that would be his death.

    As time passed, the surrounding devil qi made more and more pressure on QuingXu. To relieve that, he used a bit of the mass of qi he used to push the focused devil qi to stop the the surrounding qi from entering. He started pushing every little bit of cold qi that entered by his own, thus he tired out very easily.

    Seeing his doom near, QuingXu started thinking of ways to save himself.

    ''Think, what can you do QuingXu in this situation? If I open my pores then I will be automatically destroyed, there is no other possibility. The devil qi surrounding me became so dense that it started creating forms. Is that a blue dragon that I''m seeing? Oh, damn. What to do, what to do. Wait.. hey, I already stopped the devil qi from entering. How did I do that again? Yeah, I just counter balanced it with my own qi, right? What if I do that outside my body? Wouldn''t that stop the incoming devil qi from even getting close. Okay, let''s try that.''

    After organizing his thoughts and reaching a conclusion, QuingXu started channeling his qi once again. He made sure to only save enough for keeping the devil qi inside him in check. As he had his qi egress from his body, the expected phenomena didn''t happen. The qi just puffed in a smoke. He tried focusing more on having it keeping a stable form, and it worked. He could stop a small mass of qi from becoming a puff of smoke. As time passed, his control over it became better and he could handle bigger masses.

    You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

    In the meantime, Yin Xian was just sitting diagonally on the ground watching his apprentice englufed by the water dragons. These were but the forms and images the devil qi take, but that was the scariest thing about it. From immemorial times, dragons were the epitome of strength and ferocity. The images that the qi form never lies, this devil qi is weird. Does that mean that this qi is the epitome of ferocity, no qi is that arrogant. There is also the fact that since it could form an image, it''s that it hold a part of consciousness. No qi that hold even a rough part of a consciousness''s dust isn''t dangerous. No matter if it was holy, cursed or anything, it''s synonym of death.

    As time passed, he noticed some golden dots forming around QuingXu''s body. At first it was but a tiny little one, but as time passed, it became bigger, afterward a second dot was created. After seeing what''s happening, Yin Xian finally stopped lazing around and focused on what''s going. ''So you finally got it'' or so he thought.

    Yin Xian seeing that QuingXu was in a juncture, started preparing himself. He started channeling his qi and making it form a blue fire membrane around the water dragons. He had to make sure to get the timing right with QuingXu, else the devil qi will overpower any kind of defence that Xu-chan might create. That''s why Yin Xian only surrounded the water dragon as to weaken them afterward. He also had used a chaining technique he learned in god''s library to support the membrane. Everything will be unleashed whenever QuingXu is ready.

    As time passed, QuingXu finally got complete control over his own qi. He created a membrane around his body that would block the surrounding devil qi for a while. This membrane was close to his pore so it was supported by them. The devil qi''s only way of entering was through QuingXu''s pores, so it was concentrated there. And since the pores were tight to the extreme, they relieved the stress the qi membrane would have had to go through and by such it didn''t break. QuingXu calmed himself down, he had to make sure that nothing would go wrong. He repeated in his mind the process that he would go through countless times, everything was perfect. QuingXu didn''t spare any half particle of dust worth of qi as he pushed the surrounding devil qi, an oval shaped membrane enlarged as it pushed the roaming dragons. Contrary to his expectation, the dragons easily overpowered it. As QuingXu was giving up all hopes, and as the membrane weakned, Yin Xian gave a helping hand by chaining the beasts. As the shriek of the water dragons sounded out, QuingXu''s membrane regained its strength as it pushed the abnormalities farther away. Seeing that he surprisingly and abruptly got the upper hand, the young boy opened up his pores as he pushed with whatever qi was left in him the satanic devil qi inside him.

    "Craaaa wwhahwa!!!!" Dark blue dragonic figures appeared out of his body as they cried in agony, dissipating seconds after.

    Seeing that his apprentice got rid of the devil qi inside him, Yin Xian rapidely used a pulling array to get him out of the devil''s den. A gold lion sign appeared in front of him as the poor young boy was pulled out of the lake.

    "Huff... hufff.." mumbled Xu-chan tired. He took deep breaths to recover his energy. "Thank you for helping me out" The attitude QuingXu gained in these few days stopped showing as he felt gratitude toward this master of his. But he immediately collapsed afterward with a ''tud'', certainly because of exhaustion.

    "Sigh, sleep well. You''ll need all the energy and rest you can possibly get for what''s to come. We''re way past the stage of waterfall training,  hahaha, you will know the terror of a waterfall after you wake up, little kid" laughed Yin Xian. His sinister laugher resounded with the everlasting booms of the waterfall on the background creating an eccentric mix.

    Author Note : here is the chapi as promised. Now give me comments, I feed on them!!! Hunger!!!

    Also, I got two reviews since last time so I''ll do a week of bing writing (not this week), so yeah, isn''t that great.

 Poll

    Okay, after talking with my mentor for quite an bit and meditating on the subject myself for a while, I reached a conclusion. My story need some rework. By rework, I don''t mean just editing some chapters here and there or something like that, I mean restarting a new fic with the same name. Why? Well the reason are pretty obvious. My pacing, like most of you noticed, it''s damn slow like hell.

    Confusing events. Like tons of you said, there is tons of confusing things about my writing that you might as well skio the whole thing.

    God''s library, I didn''t touch that thing plot wise at all. That arc after some serious revising prooved to need more than 10/15 chapters of its own. There will be down grade of power problem that will be more accentuated, but that arc need some serious revising and I''ll try to not have you get the feeling of restarting over as much as I can (suggestions are welcomed here).

    This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

    The profecy need some revising. I thought about it and it seems that it didnt convey what I wanted.

    Oh, well. Normally this should be a poll, but since I''m noob with that it might not work. If it doesn''t, then you guys just post a comment telling me "rewrite the whole thing" or "write next chapter please"

    *****

    Hmm I noticed that some of you guys thouggt that I skiped important details and gave important actions no explanation at all. If possible can you point some out, so that I don''t do the same mistakes as in my first attempt.

 Probably the last FYI

    Oh well, it''s been a while. Guys, from the result of the poll, I can say that you want me to rewrite the whole damn thing, that''s good. But, if you have read my author notes, you should have known that I have exams closing in. I can''t really just say fuck it, I don''t care about my life and continue writing at an impossible speed. I already wrote a good chunk of the first chapter (around 3000 to 4000 words) and it''s of a good quality, at least I hope. Also, I knew from this experience how hard it is to rewrite, write is simple, rewriting isn''t. But, worry not, by the start of summer I should start posting regulary (I should have already gotten my grammar up a few levels and got some actual experience) so yeah. I''ll leave you with a sneak peek and you guys tell me if you were hooked or not. I''ll do a poll this time too as for some reason that work better than just asking for comments. You are welcome to comment tho, in fact, Please I''m begging you to comment!!!

    Sneek peek

    The gates of Hell opened to let heaven see the Armageddon it was hiding. The 18th level of hell hosted a theater of war in its core. The windy desert was tarnished red, fluids dotting the sand as a four-way onslaught raged on.

    Human archers rained down arrows, covering a bloody dragon and skewering others on the field. Dark purple golems tanked the dragon while it swept left and right with its cold, sharp fangs. Apocalyptic beasts roamed the killing field, bloody flesh struck between their cruel teeth, crushed bones beneath their paws. The battlefield was a cacophony of mages and archers, warriors and paladins, beasts and golems, all creating chaos that seemed to form brief patterns of order. It was like the lines of a waltz described from nothing so much as blood and death and violence.

    Holy lights and dragon breath illuminated the scene, providing a backdrop of color and percussion. Frost arrows and fireballs exploded like fireworks, adding high notes to the melee. And yet, all this delicate harmony, this tenuous back and forth was fated to be broken, as another variable was added to the equation.

    The dark purple Hell gates opened once again. The land bowed and a sharp crack could be heard. The earth quaked, and a cloud of dust billowed out from the pressure. A tall figure covered in red armor and clenching a black sword stepped up. On the right side of his chest was an insignia of a black dragon; an emblematic sign of the dark knight class.

    This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

    The dark knight took a deep breath and his lips cracked up in a smirk. He bathed in the killing intent engulfing the air, the resounding cries of warriors and the malicious roars of the beasts. This is where he belonged, this is his domain.

    The time for contemplation was over, no need for further thoughts. The dark hero dashed forward towards the battlefield. The battle front approached rapidly. Scorching hot wind dried his skin, the clangs of swords engulfed his ears, and the sight of crushed bones and splattered guts filled his eyes. The knight felt his blood boiling, he couldn''t control his smile as it turned malicious, full of vice and blood thirst.

    His legs pumped, trying to reach his element faster. He kicked off from a rock to jump over a chasm to the fight. As he flew over the outer edge of warriors, battle cries resounded beneath him. "Clang, clang," the sound of swords clashing entered his ears. As he landed, his black sword reflected a red luster as it severed the neck of a human paladin. Blood gushed out, covering the semi-masked face of the dark knight, and the corpse landed with a ''thud'' like a cold lump.

    For a second, the knight paused. Its crimson red armor reflected the rays of sun. This silence lasted but one moment before the battle cries and killing intents reigned over once more. The dark knight turned around feeling someone closing in from behind. He looked behind only to be surprised by a holy knight raising his great sword high in the sky with both hands, crying revenge for his fallen comrade.

    The dark knight seeing the sword closing in, waited for the perfect timing. The sword slowly descended and the dark knight still waited. It''s only after it gotten as close as it could that the dark hero used a skill and teleported.

    "Huh?"

    The holy knight was confused as his sword, which was supposed to drip blood, never connected. Where its target had been, only a puff of black smoke remained.  The shadowy figure reappeared behind the back of the paladin, diagonally upward. Dark knight thrust the tip of his sword towards the neck of his dazed holy counterpart. Next moment he followed it with a horizontal slash, cutting him open. Blood rushed out as the knight dropped, never to rise again.

 RETURN!!

    April''s fool

    You felt it, right? That burning rage welling up in your chest. That frustration driving you to the border of madness. Well, take that and multiply ¡Á1000 and you''ll know how I felt after I got up and found 4 votes. How can I know if it''s really catchy or is it just you guys not wanting me to feel bad with that much vote. What I will say next isn''t an April fool. If I resleep and by the time I get up I find 10 votes, I''ll not only accelerate the process of rewriting by getting rid of other useless things (helping others edit/review/proofread) and focus solely on rewritting. I''ll also post another sneek peek. This time too, no spoil. Oh, well. Like I said, go vote!! And get rid of that laziness

 Im back and this thread is no troll

    Hey guys, I''m back. I''m not sure how many people will read this thibg after my disappearance, but I guess that those who did will love to hear this news. My finals are over, I am free, and I will finally be able to continue writing.

    I am halfway done with the first chapter and it''s already 5k long, I expect it to be at around 12 k once I finish it, this should give you quite a bit to read considering the fact that my chapters ranged between 1.5k and 3k. It is really hard to change to this style, but I''m slowly getting used to it.

    I won''t promise you guys a chapter tommorow or something like that. Forget about the favt that I want my first chapter to be the best thing I can create as of now, I am tired. I have been studying non stop for my exams for like two months. I, thankfully, passed my exams with no problem so kudos for me on that. But, I am reciebing the backlash now. I need some time to have fun and no longer care about anything. However, don''t worry, my break should take around a week before I continue that little chapter and gift you that booty.

    One last note would be, I will announce the start for my rewritten story here and continue posting my ideas and such. I will keep this thing updated specifically for you guys who stuck with me through thick and thin. If anything you wish from the original to stay, just say it here, I will definitely do so if it doesn''t co traduct way too much with my plans.

    Anyway, finally back.
