In a few days, it was finally time for the Alchemy Convention to start. This famous event that resounded through the entire Ethren Empire was held by the Thousand Pill Palace Branch.
Davis and Evelynn left the residence and headed to the east region of the second level, entering the Alchemy Convention which was hosted in the huge residence of the Thousand Pill Palace's Branch that spanned over 400 square kilometers!
That meant a single side of the four sides stretched over 400 kilometers if the residence were to be square-shaped!
Not only were there buildings, but there were numerous grounds that spanned over kilometers to host competitions, exams, and other such activities. The Alchemy Convention took place in such paved grounds rather than inside the buildings which were home to numerous alchemists and other official activities.
Some buildings were allocated to host the thousands of guests who attended the Alchemy Convention from far away. Furthermore, it would also increase the safety of the alchemists who are visiting.
Although assassinations were rare, a banquet or other such festivities is the best time to kill a person secretly through poison or other such covert methods. Hence, it was always decided that the Alchemy Convention would be held on the paved grounds outside the official buildings from time immemorial.
That said, Davis saw numerous materials being dragged in before when he came here to take the examination, mostly construction materials, hence it could also be said that the Alchemy Convention hosted shops in makeshift buildings constructed on both sides of the paved roads like a festival set-up shops.
Davis wore a purple patterned robe that had six stars etched on it. The Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist Robe which could even help him defend against Sixth Stage Cultivators. He walked in dressed up smoothly while his long blonde hair remains left free, making him look considerably handsome, like a free spirit with the extra smirk on his face.
To his right, holding his hand is Evelynn.
She wore a luxurious purple robe that emphasized their look as a couple. She tried a new hairstyle whereupon her long combed green hair rested on her right shoulder like she had side-swept her hair to the right. She didn't leave her left empty as she pinned a purple lotus-like flower, making her look extremely lovely.
Nevertheless, she still kept some bangs across her forehead as she had noticed in the past that Davis had twirled her bangs with his fingers on many instances; intimate instances.
When Davis entered the huge gate along with Evelynn, he displayed his newly obtained alchemist token plate to those two guards and gained entry under their momentarily surprised gaze. He didn't need to do that since he was already wearing the Alchemist Robe but since the guards had stopped him last time, he felt that they might stop him again.
As for Evelynn, they let her in on the grounds that a Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist could bring two or three friends, companions or even servants with them. Davis learned about this even discussed the specifics of the Pill Convention with Alchemist Andred.
So, he decided to bring along Evelynn to the Alchemy Convention, mainly for her to keep him company and to broaden her horizons.
Evelynn initially declined, thinking that she would bring trouble again but Davis explained otherwise and convinced her.
As for crass and lewd people who would try to be rude with his wife, he believed that in a convention such as this where every person's actions would be judged, they wouldn't dare to be rude to a woman as that would ruin their reputation in the social scene.
Even if someone were to be daring enough to trouble his wife, in his eyes, they would just be courting death.
As for his father and mother, he left them to their devices since he too wanted to spend some time with Evelynn. In the future, perhaps, he might not be there for her anymore, hence, he made it a point to rather treat her nicely and satisfactorily.
Abruptly, he turned to look at another woman who suddenly stopped to his left. He blinked his eyes and spoke, "Are you coming with us or move about solo?"
The woman whose waist-length hair gave off a dark purple glow just took a step forward and walked into the crowd, leaving them behind. This woman was none other than Princess Isabella who received an invitation to the Alchemy Convention as the Conferred Queen.
Indeed, after the day he had bound the Peak-Level King Grade Formation to himself, an entourage from the Thousand Pill Palace Branch personally came to their residence to invite Princess Isabella.
He wasn't surprised that she was here, but wasn't her attitude a little cold? 
'If she keeps this up, then I will make it difficult for her to learn Soul Forging Cultivation.' Davis inwardly laughed as he felt like teasing her.
Nevertheless, it was just a fleeting thought as he really didn't think that way.
When he looked back, he could see that there was a commotion occurring because of the Conferred Queen's appearance. Even the two guards who were usually blank, had their eyes still beaming with a strange glint while gazing at her figure.
Indeed, beauty along with strength accentuated a woman's worth in a man's eyes manyfold. Though there was a lustful desire in their eyes, but there was also awe, inferiority, and fear, curbing them from even approaching her.
Only the entrance remained crowded since many people were entering at this time. They all had their gazes on Princess Isabella and some had even noticed him talk to her as they were looking at them too.
However, since the Conferred Queen didn't look or talk to them, their attention on them was short-lived as it returned to the Conferred Queen.
When Davis gazed back at Princess Isabella again, he saw that a few people who wore seven starred robes come to personally greet her before they led the way for her.
'Mhm... Low-Level King Grade Alchemists in the immediate vicinity are personally inviting her... It seems that her popularity in this city will increase from here on out!'
Davis mused inwardly and then he also doubted that if she didn't talk to them on purpose.
'Right, she likely doesn't want to bring us trouble... So she stayed clear of us? But then why did she stop beside me for a moment?'
Davis pondered for a moment but couldn't find the answer. He could only shrug and walk on the red-carpeted paved road with Evelynn.
As they walked, they crossed the red carpet road and reached a ground that had many alchemists and people of other professions were roaming around.
He even saw an eight-year-old child running around, followed by other children, visiting the stalls that were set up along the pathway, hosted by many Alchemists who were at the Earth Grade.
He couldn't tell which family they were from but judging by how they behaved without care and respect, he mused that these children were all from peak powers, having enough status and wealth to enter this Alchemy Convention.
Earth Grade Alchemists only had small or big stalls set up for them while Sky Grade Alchemists had their own ranging from a single hall to plenty of halls depending upon their level.
If he set up a shop, then he too would receive benefits from the Thousand Pill Palace Branch but he mused that they would pale in comparison to his precious time in which he could gain numerous knowledge by seeing all kinds of pills and broadening his horizons.

Synopsis :
Traversing into another world, Zhang Xuan finds himself becoming an honorable teacher.

Along with his transcension, a mysterious library appears in his mind.

As long as it is something he has seen, regardless of whether it is a human or an object, a book on its weaknesses will be automatically compiled in the library.

Thus, he becomes formidable.

"Emperor Zhuoyang, why do you detest wearing your underwear so much? As an emperor, can't you pay a little more attention to your image?"

"Fairy Linglong, you can always look for me if you find yourself unable to sleep at night. I am skilled in lullabies!"

"And you, Demon Lord Qiankun! Can you cut down on the garlic? Are you trying to kill me with that stench?"

This is an incredible story about teachers and students, grooming and guiding the greatest experts in the world!

***************************************************

POSITIVE REVIEW :

I must admit to not expecting too much when I started reading this. It felt like it would be your standard transmigration novel. And it certainly is in most ways. There's a cheat ability of some kind given the MC, there are tons of people who underestimate him and use any chance to belittle him, etc.
However, what I find sets it apart is its humor, the attitude of the protagonist and the side characters. The people that spout nonsense at him are very quickly subdued, usually in very funny ways. Most of them usually quickly understand that he is better than what they assumed and go on to respect him (unless you are one of the more dense main "antagonists") for what he displays, rather than go on for chapter after chapter of chastising him without the MC revealing his hand.
Other novels of this kind I end up just quickly scrolling through chapters to get to the good part where the protagonist proceeds to the face-slapping. Library of Heaven's Path has lots of minor face-slapping incidents that build up to the BIG face-slapping incident that I just finished. It's glorious.

CRITICAL REVIEW :

Okay, this novel has good and bad points.

Good points:

Characters (at least initially) seem interesting

Having the protagonist as a teacher seems like a novel idea

A somewhat light tone and some comedic situations are peppered between the face-slapping contests

Translation was good

Bad points:

Characters are pretty shallow and fill very few types of stereotypes:
 The "you-dare?!" type of misfit who was born to oppose MC in every action
 The "hmmph!" snob woman whose beautiful complexion enchant everyone but MC
 Side characters who are despise the MC but as he opens his mouth then they become speechless
 Students who have been miraculously cured and now have their cultivations soaring the heavens

Stupid MC who has everyone jerking him off because oooh he's so good ahh so smart... But he has ZERO merits as his knowledge is obtained via a cheat. The worst part? He thinks he's the shit.

His teachings are stupid as his cultivation. There's no wisdom, it's like you're learning skills from a game's NPC. There's no development, no bad aspects, he just writes a book that makes his student become the shit. like he think he is.

When there isn't anyone jerking him off, then it's time for the face slapping. And the face slapping isn't as fun as Emperor's Domination as ED's MC at least put effort into his cultivations, share some wisdom and treasures to his followers but no, in this novel you'll see stupid people throwing their faces into MC's face. And the worst part is that everyone is so senseless stupid, I can't believe a society with only half-brained people can be formed like this. There is no common sense, no sense of politics or intrigue. No, my name is Misfit-48, you stepped on my toe, prepare to die! *gets destroyed*

Really, this is like the author read Martial World, Against the Gods, I'm really a Super Star, Ancient Strengthening Technique, Sovereign of the Three Realms and Anciently Godly Monarch, put them into a blender and put into a plate that was a school. I don't say this novel is worse, but it isn't any better than any of the previous mentioned ones.

As you can notice I wrote more about the bad points than the good ones. Well, that's because this isn't a very good novel. Read this while you're in the toilet cultivating.

"Research assistant mission, published by Mentor Han Yunfeng. Long-term recruiting low-level Mystic assistants. Requirements: read 'Mineral and Plants Glossary, Edition 20077', proficient with Flame Control Technique! Those willing can come for an interview. The reward will be discussed in person!"
'Mineral and Plants Glossary'? Fang Yuan searched and found that it was an introductory book. Furthermore, there were thousands of them!
As the galaxy was vast and boundless, new species were being discovered all the time.
Unfortunately… there are only pictorial descriptions. Without seeing it in person, there's no way to trigger resonance and determine the needs of the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique, Fang Yuan thought regretfully. He then checked out the comments below the mission.
…
"Scam! The most that we learn now is the flora and fauna edition for Planet East Dragon. Who would try to remember those of the entire galaxy? Even seniors must find it impossible, right? There are no credits either!"
"Although the Flame Control Technique isn't expensive, it's standalone. There are no continuations. Who would waste their energy on learning that?"
"The poster above me is a fool! The Flame Control Technique was a must for low-level ancient alchemists. I am from the pharmacy department and have trained in the technique. I remembered the glossary and went for the interview with Mentor Han Yunfeng, but his requirements for the Flame Control Technique are too high. The mentor only accepts masters of the technique… I didn't make the cut."
"What a big revelation!"
"Mysterious senior passing by, just smiling…"
"That Mentor Han Yunfeng is known to be stingy. The credits awarded are extremely few. He didn't impart any dao arts or spiritual techniques either."
"Wow! The poster above me is really brave. You're not afraid of a teacher giving you trouble!"
"It's all right. I'm anonymous…"
…
"It looks like the requirements are high, but the rewards aren't much. He's received a lot of negative feedback."
Fang Yuan browsed again and found that the price of the Flame Control Technique was at a low thirty credits. As for the 'Mineral and Plants Glossary, Edition 20077', it was a public resource that he could read without paying. He made his decision immediately.
"Almost all the other missions have a cultivation level requirement, and there aren't many that are suitable for beginners. This one didn't mention a specific cultivation level requirement, so let's give it a try!"
He searched and found out that although the Flame Control Technique was a standalone technique incapable of further progression, its reviews among the low-level pharmacy students were very solid. He nodded and made the exchange.
"So pharmacy is the ancient alchemy equivalent? I've seen some drugs and tools on sale on the school website… If I learn this, I could make some money…"
Fang Yuan received the information, and the Arcane Smart-Brain immediately formed the psyche model, mastering the spiritual technique. 
The interaction between his smart-brain and his True Spirit produced a fundamental change, the fusion of terrifying calculative power and supreme intellect. He absorbed the information in the Mineral and Plant Glossary at an incredible pace while walking along the road. 
By the time he arrived at Han Yunfeng's door in the teachers' housing area, he had memorized thousands of books.
This mentor stayed near the core of the zone, and it was visibly different from Lü Songyang's corner house near the periphery. It was a three-story courtyard house with a garden.
Fang Yuan walked up to a lion carving on the main door and talked into it, "Teacher Han Yunfeng? I am Student Lin Meng, here for the research assistant mission!"
The lion's eyes flashed red. Fang Yuan was prepared and immediately strengthened his Breath Holding Technique. A man's gentle voice emerged, and the main door opened.
"Come in yourself. I'm in the living room!"
Fang Yuan entered with large strides. Walking through the pebble walkway in the colorful garden, he arrived in the living room.
"Please take a seat!"
The traditionally decorated living room was full of dark wood furniture that gave off a thick and extremely refreshing herbal scent.
A young man wearing traditional clothes with hair reaching his waist was sitting cross-legged on an almond-yellow cattail hassock in the center of the living room and looking at a pill furnace in front of him.
It was a real pill furnace! It was bronze with three legs and two handles. Patterns of ancient beasts covered its surface, and flames were burning underneath.
Fang Yuan found it hard to take his eyes off of it. This kind of pill furnace must be an antique? It should really be given to a cultivation museum. The pharmacy students now synthesize all their drugs in the lab directly. With a smart-brain monitoring, they can calibrate proportions with extreme precision!
"Your name is Lin Meng? And you're a first-year?"
Han Yunfeng used his spiritual will to look up Lin Meng's information and frowned.
Of course, he did not see through Fang Yuan's disguise.
In fact, Fang Yuan's Breath Holding Technique (Modified) was only capable of dealing with this kind of initial inspection.
After all, the teachers did not have mental disorders. Scanning someone with their spiritual will on the first meaning was the norm, but constantly monitoring someone with it would be psychotic.
As long as he made it through the initial inspection, he could use the normal Breath Holding Technique in the future without any problem.
I'm also lucky… This Han Yunfeng seems to be at a similar cultivation level as Lü Songyang, both below ten!
Level ten was equivalent to ancient cultivation's Golden Core stage. By then, the Breath Holding Technique's grade would be too low, and it would be easy to spot something amiss.
Fang Yuan soon labeled Han Yunfeng. A researcher ill-versed in external affairs, but his status is higher than Lü Songyang… 
"Although I'm a first-year, you didn't specify any cultivation level requirements on your mission. It appears that this mission doesn't put too much emphasis on cultivation level either. I've also memorized the Mineral and Plant Glossary, and I have some experience with the Flame Control Technique."
"Oh? Is that so."
Han Yunfeng was a bit skeptical. He hit the pill furnace with a Dharmic formulation.
Rumble!
The pill furnace rumbled, and an opening appeared. Vapor that looked like rosy clouds rose from the opening, carrying a strong medicinal scent.
Three different colored pills flew out and landed in his hands. "Then tell me… what were the ingredients used in these pills?"
His expression showed that he was waiting for Fang Yuan to make a fool of himself.
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he answered straightforwardly, "The pills' vapor looks like clouds. This is formed after Fire Cloud Sand has risen, so Fire Cloud Sand is one of the ingredients. The medicinal scent has the smell of roses mixed with musk. This is caused by the Whirling Flower Powder… I don't know about the other materials!"
He had intentionally not revealed everything.
"Good! Very good!" Han Yunfeng was slightly excited. "To think that you know even these kinds of transformations in nature. It looks like you weren't boasting about memorizing the glossary. To be able to determine two ingredients, you have very solid fundamentals. The remaining ingredients are Golden Bodhi, Yellow Cloud Beast's blood, and Black Water Mystic Crystal!"
"Understood, Teacher!"
"You have no problems with recognizing materials, so let's check your practical skills now…"
Han Yunfeng stood up from his cattail hassock. "Come and try this bronze cauldron. I've spent a great deal to make this cauldron according to ancient methods!"
"Okay!" Fang Yuan sat down on the cattail hassock cross-legged and skillfully activated a technique.
"Flame Control Technique? Your execution is extremely smooth. Good! Very good!" Han Yunfeng's eyes glowed upon seeing just that.
As expected, the ancient cultivation cauldron is too rigid. Controlling it is ten times harder than executing the technique alone!
Fang Yuan silently made a move, and his hand seals moved at lightning speed. "Rise!" 
Whoosh!
The flame that was about to die out suddenly grew tall, as though it had devoured some sort of fuel.
Strands of smoke licked the bottom of the cauldron before dividing and dancing around the cauldron like little flame snakes.
Suddenly, all the flame snakes amalgamated into a single body and turned green. The flame that was originally red suddenly turned green.
"Pure green cauldron fire? Good! Great!"
Han Yunfeng stopped Fang Yuan. "To be able to control the Flame Control Technique to the extent of producing pure green flames, not even many third-year and fourth-year pharmacy students could accomplish that. Hard work won't get you there, but talent will! Have you self-studied this information? How about choosing the pharmacy department?"
"Teacher!" Fang Yuan rolled his eyes in his mind. "Can we discuss the reward for this mission?"
"Oh! Right, right…" Han Yunfeng patted his forehead. "As you can see, I am researching the ancient ways of alchemy. I hope to compare it with the modern methods of making drugs and write a paper… As such, I need an assistant to watch over the cauldron fire!"
"I see!"
Fang Yuan nodded. He understood that the other party required someone to play the role of an ancient alchemy boy.
Of course, he would need to know how to deal with small accidents by himself.
"However, hasn't ancient alchemy died out already?" Fang Yuan voiced his thoughts.
"Yes, many ancient cultivation techniques have been proven to have low efficiency. A long time has passed… Modern pharmacy leaves the handling of the cauldron entirely to the smart-brain, and it can determine the exact effects. The success rate of making pills is at ninety percent. All we have to do is to infuse spiritual power and use spiritual will to harmonize the drug according to the smart-brain."
The Scientific Cultivation Method had proved that a cultivator's spiritual power and spiritual will were the catalysts necessary to synthesize pills. They were irreplaceable and indispensable.
Without this step, the smart-brain would have long industrialized making drugs and pills.
As such, for pharmacy students, the most amount of practice went into controlling their spiritual power and spiritual will, and cooperating with the smart-brain to produce high-quality pills. 
"The pharmaceutical industry is far beyond being comparable to the ancient ways. As long as there is enough spiritual energy and spiritual will, cultivators in the Qi Refinement stage can produce Foundation Building and Nascent Soul level pills. People can even jointly concoct pills. In theory, with smart-brain's assistance, as long as there are enough low-level cultivators, they could achieve Essence Soul or even Soul Transformation level alchemy techniques… Of course, this hasn't been realized!"
Han Yunfeng said frankly, "But the way I see it, there must be some merits to the ancient alchemy methods. For example, some top-tier drugs can only be produced by high-level pharmacist cultivators because they must be infused with Aural Dao! To put it another way, natural methods… are like… high-tier brain development drugs!"
"I see!"
Fang Yuan nodded. It appears that top-tier drugs are precious not only because of the ingredients, but also the difficulty in making them. Even the smart-brain can't do it. Only top-grade pharmacists can, but with a low success rate.


This is the story of a boy who lived a secluded life in the mountains, tending his farm, rearing his fish, and dreaming his dreams. Eh? Did I suddenly conquer all worlds and become the big boss? Or am I still in a dream?

"I found this island 3 months ago and immediately bought it for you," he said as he coughed a little. "This is my wedding gift for you. Come, let me show you around."
Finland was still dumbfounded when they entered the beachfront villa. Caspar led her to a very spacious bedroom arranged like a room in a palace. The huge sliding glass doors opened into the infinity pool facing the beach. If these doors were opened, fresh air would flow into the room. It also provided the room with very good lighting.
"This... is… beautiful, Caspar..." Finland whispered when she saw the view from the room. On the terrace of the room, facing the infinity pool, there was a large rattan cabana for two with soft cushioning. It was the perfect place for sitting and reading while sunbathing.
"I'm glad you like it."
Caspar hugged Finland from behind and buried his face in her hair.
"Are you serious, you really bought this island three months ago?" Finland asked in disbelief, "Three months ago you haven't even won the bet to kiss me."
"I know you will be mine sooner or later," Caspar whispered, "When I found this island, I considered it a good sign."
Finland smiled at that. She knew Caspar could easily buy things he liked. He bought the Continental Hotel because he liked the restaurant, then he bought Atlas Corp because he wanted to fire Noah Jannsen.
So, why not buy a whole island as a wedding gift?
Finland was happy because some of the purchases made by Caspar were because of her. She felt loved and spoiled.
Finland and Caspar were actually not alone on the island. There was the middle-aged man who welcomed them, a butler, several staff, and two personal bodyguards.
However, these men were very good at being discreet and they gave their master and future lady all the privacy they needed. Caspar and Finland felt as if they were alone on the small island.
Everyday food and fruits were available, and the villa was perfectly cleaned. Finland felt very happy. She never thought that she would be able to experience the rich people's way of going on a holiday.
"If we're not here, is there anyone on the island?" Finland asked one day when they were reading a book by the infinity pool.
"This island is offered on a 'private island' website, so anyone can rent it for parties, honeymoon, etc. The butler and staff stay here to take care of the villa and the guests. It's a shame if this place is left empty. It will deteriorate quickly, because we may only come here several times a year for vacation. " Caspar explained.
Finland was tempted to ask what other assets were owned by Caspar. Didn't the man say that he had given his heart, his life, and his everything to Finland? She wanted to know what 'his everything' would include...
As if reading Finland's mind, Caspar suddenly gave her his phone.
"I don't even know what exactly all my assets are. If you want to ask about my property and whatever I own, you can contact Stanis. I've lived for too long so it's hard to keep track of everything I've bought and owned." He shrugged his shoulders. "If it's really big or new I will remember, but there are so many properties I own that I don't even know I have. I once saw a very nice colonial house in South Africa, and when I asked Stanis to buy it, he told me the house was already mine! Apparently, I bought it decades before for the same reason."
Finland laughed when she heard Caspar's story...
It turned out that even super-rich people have their own problems, she thought.
"You seem to trust Stanis very much," Finland said later. She changed her mind about asking him about his assets because now she realized it might be too much work. "Are there other people you trust besides him?"
"There are many people I trust," Caspar said. He placed the book he was reading on the side table and poured a glass of prosecco for both of them, "Stanis is the head of my household staff - you will meet him in Germany or Spain later. He is the one who selects all the people who work for me. Besides Stanis, of course, there is Ben. They are both the grandchildren of my trusted aide who is now dead; their grandfather was very loyal. He died trying to protect my parents during the war. Their father worked for me his whole life, also very loyal. Then, of course, I have several bodyguards, two of them are Alchemists. You've met Jadeith... "
Finland gasped, "Jadeith is also an alchemist? But he looks so much older than you. He's like in his 30s."
"I have told you that the peak growth of every human being is different. Jadeith stopped aging when he was 35. Actually, I'm much older than him, Jadeith is only 120 years old..." Caspar chuckled while sipping his wine. "I carried him after he was born. He's Flora's child, so he is my nephew."
Finland did not expect this at all. Jadeith… was Caspar's nephew?
"So, why does he call you 'Sir' and not Uncle?"
"Because four of my other bodyguards do not know that he is my nephew. He wanted to work professionally." Caspar answered. "Jadeith is my nephew. Then there are four bodyguards who are former members of the world's elite forces, and one more female bodyguard who is also an alchemist. Her name is Famke. She is a special girl who helped me in a lot of covert operations. Maybe someday you can meet her. Famke is currently quite busy working on personal projects."
Female bodyguard? Suddenly Finland felt her chest tighten. It turned out that Caspar had a female bodyguard… and he said that she was special... a special girl who was also an alchemist who can live forever...
"Why do two alchemists want to work for you? Aren't all members of the Alchemist clan rich and powerful?" Finland asked curiously.
Caspar shook his head, "Of course not. Just like not all Asians like to eat rice, not all Alchemists are rich and powerful. Some are smart and able to store the knowledge they have gained for hundreds of years to accumulate wealth, investment, and power. However, some don't use this privilege well. It makes no difference if you live 200 years or 50 years if you are a lazy learner and have poor time management skills. "
"Oh... are there many Alchemists like you?" Finland asked, curious. Initially, she thought that all Alchemists were rich and powerful like Caspar. Apparently she was wrong.
"There are five influential families in our clan. These families have been active in the alchemy community since the first century. When my grandfather finally found the immortality formula, the world alchemy community appointed him the leader of the Alchemists clan. When he passed away, my father took over… and now me. You will meet the people from these five families and many others at our wedding." Caspar rubbed Finland's hair lovingly, "I can't wait to introduce you to Flora and Aldebar. They will definitely like you."
Finland smiled when he said that. She also wanted to meet Caspar's family. Four months ago, aside from Jean, she had no one. Now, she had a loving partner, and next month, she would have a husband, a sister in law and two brother-in-laws (Aldebar dan Louis).
She would instantly have a family; a large family even, because Flora had children and grandchildren. She truly never imagined this before.


*How do immortals live in the modern world? One had been walking the earth for 438 years without ever falling in love. The other one couldn't get over the only woman he loved, even after 100 years.

He swore to one day rule the world and decide on which humans got to live. In his book, 'only the good, the strong and the intelligent should live'.

***The wealthiest tycoon was an immortal who was raised in the ivory tower by his overprotective parents. One day he decided to go undercover as poor photographer to make friends with regular people. Alas! Scheming people tricked him to sleep with the most notorious golddiger in Berlin whose only goal in life was to marry a wealthy and powerful man. When she was pregnant with his child, the undercover tycoon wanted to take responsibility but still pretending to be poor. Will he finally let her know that he was wealthy?

Jack Nox was standing in line, under the blazing sun. His face looked like the Niagara Falls, sweat pouring down.

"Just a little longer. I can almost buy the new Vr game Battle World. I'm definitely going to shower after this," he said with great difficulty.

There were five more people ahead of him in line. They were all sweating like him. Today was the release of a new Vr game, Battle World. 

It was a fantasy game like you all would expect, but there was one major difference. There were no classes. That may seem boring, but that missing piece left a wide variety of opportunities open.

One of those opportunities was that there were no class restrictions on skills. This meant that you could use any skill you wanted. This led people to believe that they could be the hero that they always wanted to be, wielding a ridiculously large sword for some reason and blast enemies with showy magic.

The developers though implemented a completely new idea to keep people from being ridiculously overpowered without the skill restrictions.

You had to learn them manually. For sword skills, you would have to train with your sword for days before you could get a basic skill like Cleave.

With Magic, it was even worse. You had to study the theory behind it, understand how the magic circles worked, and memorize the chants on your own.

Same goes for every other skill like Blacksmithing, Enchanting, and many more.

But this too left open even more opportunities. The main draw of the game was that you could create your own skills.

You would first have to have a plethora of knowledge first and experiment for months, but it was possible.

And that is what lead us up to this point where Jack is currently buying his headset. 

Jack Nox
Strength:Abysmal
Dexterity:Pretty much an amputee
Wisdom:Average
Intelligence:Pretty Good. Wish I could insult.
Vitality:Almost like he's already dead
Skills/Spells:
[Studious][Hard Worker]

If you thought that we were already in the game and the stat evaluation was an asshole, you were wrong.

This was Jack's evaluation of himself. He wasn't an arrogant person so his own bias didn't affect the evaluation.

He was 5'8 and had messy black hair with blue eyes. He was 18 and had just finished high school. He was extremely pasty and almost looked like a girl. He had slightly above average looks, but not enough to make people turn their heads.

The reason for that is that those looks didn't enhance his male features, it only made him look more like a girl.

People often mistook him for one, but he was used to it now, so he no longer have a shit. Although sometimes he would get sexually harassed, but the face in the men's face when they learn he's a guy is always worth it.

He was just weird that way. Instead of talking back and getting into a fight, he learned a new way to fight back, one that didn't even need him to lift an arm. Back to the game anyways.

He didn't want to be something cliche like a warrior or mage. Although there weren't any classes, the types of skills you had would definitely define what you were trying to be.

He wanted to be one of those lifestyle players that didn't participate in combat. He wanted to be an alchemist. 

This occupation was probably the most demanding out of the rest. He would have to study the properties of his ingredients, their effects and how they effected each other when put together.

Luckily, when you began the game there was a library in every town and city. They weren't the usual type of library either. They were quite literally, towers of knowledge.

There were multiple floors in each library. The smallest libraries would have at least nine floors.

Each floor up had better and more valuable to information in each. The bottom obviously being the very basic and beginner skills.

These books weren't for free though. They were actually quite expensive just to rent. There was even a few for entering the library. Of course, you would also have to pay to go to higher floors.

As an alchemist, although it would be a hard profession to advance in, it would still bring in large amounts of money.

If you thought about it, most people would try to go for close combat type skills, because no one liked studying. This was the biggest difference between Jack and other people.

He had fun gaining more knowledge. Cause after all, knowledge is power.

To him, this was the perfect occupation. He didn't need any physical strength. He just needed to buy ingredients and it down in a lab experimenting and making potions.

Although one of his real life skills was hard worker, that was only mentally, not physically.

There was one other major drawback for alchemists. It would take a mountain of money to support their growth. 

The knowledge for alchemy cost the most money out of all the different types of information.

After scrolling through the Battle World website and rereading it all, Jack finally turned off his computer and started walking towards his bed. Bills scattered across the floors. The actual reason he wanted be an alchemist was so that he could pay his bills. He had no shame and already asked his parents for money, but they refused. The struggles of being poor.

He took the wet towel that was wrapped around the back of his neck and tossed it into his laundry basket, falling short a few feet.

He looked at it for a few seconds, seemingly straining his mind, almost like he was trying to use the force to move it, but gave up and laid down on his bed, inserting a disk into his Vr headset he had bought a while back.

Pretty much dropping it on his head, he laid down. Who made headsets this heavy! 5 lbs! Jesus take me now!

[Logging In...]

Email:Weak@ssB!tch@middlefinger.com
Password:Asterisks***Yay

After a few seconds, a voice spoke out.

[Please Enter a Name]

"Jack," he said boorishly. Who needs something creative? It was practical and that was all that matters. 

Want something poetic? Well that's a different novel. Want something edgy and cool, but sometimes questionable? Well that's a different novel. Go read one of those instead of you want a better name.

[Please Choose a Race]

Although there were no classes, there was still some customization at the beginning. The first step was choosing a race.

There were five races in Battle World. Human, Elf, Dwarf, Beast-men, and Demon. They all improved their respective aspects. Humans had the highest intelligence related bonuses. Elves had the highest wisdom related bonuses. The Dwarves relation was vitality, the Beast-men's was dexterity and the Demon's was strength.

Strength would increase the amount of force you could output, dexterity controlled your speed and flexibility, vitality controlled your defense and health points, wisdom controlled your magic points, but also increased your judgement skills, and intelligence controlled your ability to manipulate mana and comprehension abilities.

If you are wondering how these stats can affect your judgement and comprehension skills, the game basically gave you subtle hints to help you. These hints become not so subtle at higher levels.

You would think Jack would pick human like all the other boring protagonists out there.

But instead, he chose to be an Elf. When selecting a race, it would give you your main racial bonus. Basically a passive skill meant only for your particular race.

To make up for the lack of customization with the lack of classes, they also added multiple racial skills to choose from.

There were three listed in front of him.

[Arcane Vision]-grants you the ability to see mana particles.

[Fae Ancestry]-Increases magic points by 10%.

[Nature's Friend]-Increases Life type magic affinity by 10%.

All three were good skills. Although Arcane Vision didn't seem that useful, it was actually better then the other two if you wanted to be a mage.

Allowing you to see magic particles in the air would increase your ability to manipulate them. Otherwise, you would just have to imagine what they are and use your imagination only.

But with Arcane Vision, you can also use your eyes to help you, increasing casting speed tremendously.

It would also help you see where magic particles were most dense, which would allow you to position yourself in an even more advantageous position.

Compared to Arcane Vision, the other two skills were like pebbles on the side of a road if you wanted to be a mage.

Although most players would have chosen by now, it actually took Jack five minutes to come to this conclusion, thinking of the types benefits, each skill would give.

He would of chose Arcane Vision even if he didn't think about it. The other two were useless to an alchemist.

Now came the next step of character building.

[Please Choose a Sub-Race]

Every race had three sub-races. This would allow you another racial skill to choose.

The Elves' Sub-Races were Wood Elf, Dark Elf, and High Elf.

Wood elves were more orientated towards close quarters combat, while Dark Elves leaned more to the side of Witches and Warlocks, debuffing or strengthening it's targets.

The High Elves were built as casters. They were made to spew spells like a maniac. This was obviously useless to alchemists, so he was going to choose either the Wood Elf or Dark Elf.

Eventually he decided on Dark Elf. Having an affinity with buffing spells would make it easier for him to learn them. Having these types of skills would lower the risk of death if an experiment going wrong.

If he wanted to make money as an alchemist, he needed to make some unique products. The only way he could do that was through trial and error.

The three passive skills displayed in front of him made him think hard.

[Trickster]-increases affinity with debuff type skills by 10%.

[Helpful]-increases affinity with buff type skills by 10%.

[Summoned Aid]-grants you the ability to summon an aid the same level as you. Cannot participate in combat.

Summoned Aid was a silk that would be greatly beneficial to him. It would be able to assist him while doing experiments, but it wouldn't be able to save him.

It would increase his efficiency, but not his safety. During in Battle World would reduce your level by one. That may not seem like a lot, but leveling up was hard in Battle World.

Although he hadn't experienced it yet, he could make some assumptions based on his knowledge of the game already.

First off, the lack of skills would significantly limit what players could do to a monster of the same level.

They would have to have a tremendous amount of skill to be able to beat a monster of the same level without the extra damage from a skill.

Second, although monsters aren't as intelligent as players, their stats are 1.2 times higher then same level players.

The only way to bridge the strength gap was with skills, or good equipment.

The third factor that would make leveling extremely difficult was that players were also to afraid to die.

This would severely affect their judgement in the middle of a battle, making them overly cautious or out right stupid and get themselves killed anyways.

The solution! Don't kill monsters. There were other ways to level up. Skills would provide experience when learned and ranked up. Production type professions could gain experience from successfully manufacturing a product.

As an alchemist, there was no need to fight monsters.

Going back to the point of which passive skill to choose, he finally decided on Summoned Aid. It could, in some situations, still save his life. For example, he could use it as a human shield from an explosion, or as a human shield from a ranged, melee or magical attack. He could even use it as a test subject and also a human shield!

One other benefit of Summoned Aid was that it didn't have any cost or cool down. The downside was that it didn't have any combat ability.

Selecting Summoned Aid it brought him to the final decision he had to make.

[Please Select a Talent]

Talents basically gave you a bonus in any field you wanted. There were talents like Nimble Fingers that increased attack speed. There were also talents like Blessed that increased the amount of healing you got.

The one Jack decided on was Observant. It increased his attention to detail so he wouldn't miss anything and would be able to sense the signs of danger before they even happened.

Finally, his character creation was over. It was time for him to enter the game for reals. Sadly, you couldn't alter your appearance in this game. If you could, he would have made himself appear more masculine.

A bright light blinded him as he was brought into a forest filled with giant trees, the size of skyscrapers.

Those trees had houses in them, linked by suspension bridges made of wood. On those bridges and in those homes were elves.

It wasn't the sun that blinded him though. The foliage was so dense that it would actually be pitch black. The thinking's that blinded him where the beautiful magic lanterns that lit up the dark lands that the Dark Elves lived in.

When he could see again Jack looked around. There weren't many players walking around the streets like in other games.

They were either all in the library, or training in some dojo or something. 

But unlike what some saw, he could see bright blue particles floating around in the air. There were also some of different colors. Some red, some green. Probably relating to their respective element.

The first thing Jack did was open his Status Menu.

Jack Nox
Lvl:1
Strength:1
Dexterity:1
Wisdom:3
Intelligence:1
Vitality:1
Skills/Spells:
[Arcane Eye][Summoned Aid]
Talents:
[Observant]
 
As you can see, there was a tab for talents. You would be able to gain more talents every ten levels. This seemed to be to generous to the players, but it actually wasn't generous enough.

After all, people were still people. Most people didn't even know how to fight properly, let alone fight for their lives. Even if this was just a game, just acting tough wouldn't help you in anyway.

It might incur the wrath of the many though. 

He had two more points in wisdom because he selected Elf, which gave him a bonus point in Wisdom, while Dark Elf gave another. Wood Elf would have gave a point to Dexterity while High Elf would have increased Intelligence.

Finally, he summoned his aid. It was a little fairy. One foot tall with a wingspan of two feet. It was a dark type fairy, with black wings and red eyes, it looked like a little vampire.

Jack smiled.

"I'm finally in! If I manage to get at least one gold, that would be enough for me to pay for the next three months rent!" Jack exclaimed.

He desperately needed money. He needed to make it fast. He had two weeks time to make some cash, otherwise he would be evicted.

The conversion rate from the in game currency to actual money was 5:1. Five bronze coins to one dollar. He needed 1,500 dollars by the end of the month. 

In the beginning, you start out with twenty bronze coins. You should already know this, but 100 bronze coins makes a silver coin and 100 silver coins makes a gold.

He needed to turn his twenty bronze into a fortune. The first step was to go to the library and maybe learn something.

The library was pretty easy to spot. It was in the thickest tree imaginable(yes thick). It seemed to tower even higher then the other trees.

Walking up to the hollow that was the entrance, a message appeared in front of him.

[Entrance Fee 1 Bronze]

"Already taking my money? Greedy Bastards," Jack complained.

Paying the fee, he was left with nineteen bronze. Walking into the hollow, he saw rows and rows of bookshelves.

There were also tables, but they were filled with reading players. Looking around again, he spotted the front desk.

Walking up, he spoke to the dark elf librarian. Behind her was a mirror, he didn't know why, but it was there. Looking into the mirror he saw himself.

He was a little different then before. He had long, pointed ears, but was pretty much the same. The only difference was that his eyes were fully black.

He had the same skin color though. What? Just because he's a Dark Elf doesn't mean he had dark skin!

"Excuse me?" Jack asked politely.

Although he seemed like an unruly person when he entered the hollow, he was still polite and had good manners.

He wasn't a mess like some other people. The main reason he was agitated was because of his lack of money.

Although he wasn't arrogant, he wasn't going to be a philanthropist and be all kind. He just wasn't an asshole.

"Yes?" the Librarian asked.

She was a beauty. Of course she was. This was a video game. Long dark hair as well as, coincidentally dark skin. Racist game developers.

Her eyes, dark like the abyss, just like his.

"Could you tell me where the basic alchemy knowledge is?" He asked.

"Sure!" She said happily,"it's over in the twelfth section."

"Thanks!" He responded with a smile before leaving.

Walking past the isles of bookshelves he finally happened upon the Alchemy section.

Looking at all the titles, he finally found the ones he wanted. 

[Basic Ingredients and their Properties]
[How to Extract the Essence of Magic Plants]

He needed to know all of his ingredients like the back of his hand to be a successful alchemist. He also needed to know how to obtain plant essence as those are used to strengthen potions effects.

Although the website didn't provided much, it still gave him basic information.

"Hopefully I can get enough money to not get evicted!"

Jack Nox is about to get evicted from his apartment. He doesn’t have a job, mainly because he doesn’t want to end up as a dead end office worker, and sets his eyes on a new Vr game, Battle World.

This is the story of a poor boy trying to get some cash. Literally just for the cash. Who cares about relationships?

(This is my first time writing so please be gentle with me. My ego might not be able to handle it!)

Young-Hoon and Semi were friends from childhood.

Although it wasn't intended—beginning from a junior high school, they went to the same high school and university, it was a friendship that has been going strong for a decade.

And there weren't many differences between them even if they were of different sexes, it was all thanks to the common interest they had in the 'game'.

The two of them were known to be game lovers.


In the Lordship hall of Pyro Manor.

Semi, who noticed Young-Hoon walking from a distance shook her head.

"Yah, can't you come here fast? I asked you to eat rice and come here, did you go farming the rice?"

"Huh, this is fast enough, you eat rice in 10 minutes?"

"What 10 minutes? I can have food in just 5 minutes."

"Ha… just words, don't bother…"

Semi was a hardcore female gamer. For her, Kailan had the highest priority in her life.

Semi's love in Kailan moved higher level as her classes were related to virtual reality.

Semi held onto Young-Hoon's hands and dragged him.

"Ah, move quickly and stand in the line. There are already dozens more who are in the line."

"Yeah? Front of the former office?"

The reason the two of them had come to Pyro wasn't so different. 

Today was the day when the 'Dark Summoner office' was completed.

And the place where the first former office would be build was the Pyro.

The two of them began to move quickly, and system messages popped up in front of the Young-Hoon.

Tring – 

[Summoner user 'Semi' has invited you to the party.]

[You have successfully joined the party. Current members: Seima(Lv 229), Zerojun(Lv 235).]

According to the notice that was posted on the official website of Kailan, a warlock and a summoner must be in a party state in order to be able to change to the fusion class 'Dark Summoner'.

So, Semi applied for the party and Young-Hoon accepted it without saying much. 

The two of them stood behind a few more and waited for the former castle to be completed.

Semi opened her mouth with excitement, 

"After the fusion class, you have to summon the Hargasus. Hehe!"

Yeonjun smiled and responded,

"What, want to control the 'descend' too?"

Semi nodded her head vigorously.

"Of course! Like Ian, even I want to swipe the monsters while using a spear!"

"What a story, spear huh? Forget the Hargasus and learn to control your pets first. It's a bit too strong..."

At the condescending words fro Young-Hoon, Semi retorted,

"I'm not like you! I'm the queen of control!"

"Good luck."

"Look carefully. Once I get the fusion class, I will move the level of my character to 250."

"I request you to do it."

"Once I get to the level of 250, I will put in the membership application request for the Lotus Guild right away. Hehet!"

Young-Hoon who listened to the words of Semi, shook his head while saying,

"Huhu, Ian has ruined a lot of people…"

Though he was just making fun, Young-Hoon was just plain irritated at Semi.

Ian and Hoonie, the duo's fusion class were really great. 

'I really wish she doesn't get into Lotus.'

While the two of them were struggling.

Woong-!

From the sky above, a green energy came down and began to wind up near the former office building.

Tring-!

A world message came up in front of all the users who were accessing Kailan.

[In the Pyro Domain of the Center Continent, the first 'Dark Summoner Former Office' has been completed.]

[The information of the facility of the Dark Summoner office will be shared.]

- - - - - - - 


Dark Summoner Former Office –

Classification: Former 

Location: Pyro Domain (1782, 897)

Manager: Robert (NPC)

Facility Level: Lv 1 

Entry condition: Lv 200 or higher summoner/ warlock.


The lions of Kade who have been trapped in the Devildom for years came to find freedom. 

The Dark summon Maikel came out of his trap, and then entered the world of ours, and various other dark summons which followed him will appear all over the place.

And now the dark summons have settled in the city because if Cadesh, who wants to gain the power of the dark, will also come here!

This is a facility that can be converted into a fusion class.
(Available only for summoner and warlock class.)

The Fusion class; as a dual class, are separate classes from the existing classes of the summoner and warlock. And won't interfere with any other working classes.

- - - - - - 

After the world message had come up.

More than half the people in the line began to move away. 

"Ae, what? There was a level limit?"

"Sh*t, not liking it! They should have posted it on the official homepage that there was a level limit."

"Ah… this sucks!"

Users who were at the level of 200 were out of wits. 

It was a disaster as they didn't know about the level limit. 

But thanks to that, both Semi and Yeonjun were smiling.

"Jeu, Nice! We can go in 20 minutes earlier thanks to it!"

Because the length of the line had gotten shorter, they could enter the office much more quickly.


*              *             *


Division 107, of Devildom.

The Institute of Cervian.

As the corner of the institute, a man was squatting and concentrating on something. 

[From now the Magical Beast Transmute will start.]

[Do you want to set the legendary monster 'Syakelic' as the main body?]

"Set it."

[Do you want to set the legendary monster 'Syakelic' as the 1st material?]

"Yeah. Okay."

[You can set additional items for the beast.]

The message came up with an inventory window, and Ian picked up a higher level of magic stones with nervous hands.

'Please… I've put up the highest grade stones, I need to succeed.'

And while adding the high-grade magic stone, another message came up.

[You have added 'Higher level magic stones' to increase the durability.]

[The chance of success will increase by 10%.]


Ian's clam face wrinkled.

'How does a higher level of stone only proved 10% of success rate?'

Ian was doing infinite tries to create a myth class. 

Since there was no time to conduct the quest separately, the following days until the wars were all done, he decided to try out the beast alchemy.

And Ian who managed to master the skills was in the 10th level and reached 50% of understanding how it works.

But the problem started now.

From now on, if the legendary materials of the monsters weren't used, he wouldn't gain anymore proficiency.

So he tried to use the legendary monster 'Syakelic' that he had saved.

But he had failed three times, so it was reasonable that his hands were trembling.

Every time he failed to achieve success, one piece of the set was blown away. So till now, he had blown up three material of Syakelic's.

Ian had only eight more chances left.

[If you have set all the materials needed for it, start the process.]


The two of the items that were selected flew a little high off the ground, and the white stone in his hand went between the two ingredients.

And Ian joined both his hands as if praying. 

"Please… god…"

Bbookbbook who was seated next to Ian opened his mouth that was full of meatballs.

"Master, make a girlfriend for me bbok."

That was a serious request from Bbookbbook.

But, Ian who was way too focused on what was happening in front of his eyes, hadn't heard it that clearly.

Ian reached out to the materials.

The two hands reached out to the Syakelic soul stones floating when magic started to come out of his hand and untie the two of them.

Khuoo-!

A red gust of wind surrounded the Syakelic's with feathers. 

And from the gaps between the feather, white light started to come.

And after it, 

Maybe Ian's prayers finally reached the gods, system messages emerged along with a burst of white light. 

Tring- 

[Successfully completed the 'Beast Transmute'!]

[Increased the master of the 'Magical Beast Transmute' by 7.5%.]

[Flexibility grade: C +]

[Since the grade couldn't reach B, the monster's rank doesn't rise.]

[A legendary monster 'Keakelic' was born.]

[For the first time, you have succeeded in the legendary beast alchemy.]

[The fame has increased by 100,000.]

[Increased the mastery of 'Magical Beast Transmute' by an additional 15%.]


Kiyaahhh-!

Huge wings appeared in front of Ian's eyes.

Unlike the Syakelic, which had the original Saekaman, the Keakelic had a refined pattern of wings.

And with that Ian expression turned a bit disappointed. 

'I guess my greed was a bit too big, expecting a myth class right in the beginning.'

From the soul of two legendary stones, one legendary monster had been created, but the result wasn't entirely bad. 

The proficiency of the alchemy which had been stagnated at 50%, had gone up 22.5% in a single moment. 

Thanks to it, Ian's Beast Transmute level was at 10 with 72.5%.

 Of course, thanks to the successful legendary creation of Ian's the level was raised by 15%, even the 7.5% of growth wasn't less.

If the 7.5% of increase could be done another four times, then Ian would be able to reach his ultimate goal, Level 10 MAX.

And once he managed to the MAX level, he planned on using Behemoth, the Marion Khalifa and Balrog to make a monster of his own.

The Balrog wasn't still decided, and the egg of the Behemoth seemed a bit unlikely to wake up.

'Going back there is something I need to think about.'

Ian opened his imaginative part of his brain and later decided to open the information of the monster that he just created.

It was a legendary class monster that he managed to create for the first time, which made him want to check.

Unique Ability

* Dark Flight (Passive)

In the dark, the movement speed increases from 0 to 50% and becomes transparent by 50 to 100% (depending on the degree of darkness).

When avoiding the enemy attacks in the dark, it absorbs all the damage for 1 second.


* Blood Feather (Cooldown time 2 minutes)

Keakelic's feathers turn red for 10 seconds, and after the duration is over, they blow off all the hundred of red feathers and cause unforeseen damage to the enemies within the radius of 10 m.
(The feather damage is proportional to the damage that Keakelic receives during the Blood Feather duration.)


* Vortex of Darkness (Cooldown time 10 minutes)

A dark vortex made by the Keakelic sucks in all the enemies within the range.

The vortex lasts for 10 seconds, and every 0.1 seconds it puts 20% of damage on the enemy within the range. 

And, the one who is absorbed into the center of the vortex adds 150% damage per second. 

It is a monster who was born because of the user 'Ian' who used the Beast Transmute.

It appears similar to the legendary Syakelic, but the beak and claws are much powerful.

Ian who read through the information of Keakelic lost his calm.

"Sh*t! What kind of nasty sh*t is this?!"

The level 1 abilities were surely better than his legendary pets in the past. 

However, Ian didn't want to invest time and raise it from level 1.

"I'm not sure, I guess I'll just take back the materials for the beast…"

Ian, who had been in deep thoughts for a while, decided to dispose of the Keakelic.

"Maybe put in an auction house. It's a legendary monster after all and has two huge wings, I can get 20 million gold."

At the recent auction site, there have been a  lot of monsters that were presented by the Asmodian users.

The price range for those were from 10,000 gold to millions of gold!

However, no one has seen a hero rank, so if a legendary rank made an appearance in the auction, then 20 million gold would be sure to come.

But the next day.

Ian didn't realize then that his guess was completely wrong.

The world’s largest scale virtual reality game, ‘Kailan’.

A well-known gamer in the virtual reality game community, Ian.

He reset his lv 93 character to obtain a hidden class… but the class he chose was the most useless class in Kailan, the summoner? On top of that, a call from his professor leads to a mental breakdown! To avoid academic probation, he must level up to the same level as his reset character in two months!

As a foot-long baby fish, the maximum liquor Lil Pea could withstand was between one to two drops. The basement in Becky's house once stacked at least 10 tons of spirits, and even though the vats had been removed, there was a still a strong smell of wine. Lil Pea became woozy in no time. When she finally left the basement, she was still groggy for a long while. She conjured a pair of sacred flames and giggled, offering the flames to anyone she saw. In the end, Nangong Wuyue found herself out of options. She summoned an aqua sphere and put the little one inside of it.
Seeing Lil Pea making flames with her hands, Becky found it incredible. "Mr. Landlord, looks like your daughter's learned many things, eh? Sanba taught her?"
Hao Ren forced a smile and looked around Becky's living room. The last time he was there was more than a month ago. However, due to their busy schedule and a series of major incidents, it seemed as though time crawled. He felt at home when he finally saw the familiar Hollettan style surroundings and the mercenary girl. There were some changes in Becky's house; the most eye-catching one was the addition of a 42-inch LCD TV in the center of her living room, and a laptop on the writing desk next to the TV. When these two things sat among a pile of exotic furniture, the contrast was nothing short of artistic…
Meanwhile, Becky had already informed Ophra about the arrival of "reinforcements" through a dedicated magic communication device. She then turned to greet them, "Everyone, please take a seat while we wait for Marshal Ophra to arrive. It's a big deal this time. Let's lay out our plans before we do anything."
Everyone was seated and the maid brought refreshments to everyone. The maroon-haired maid had probably come to work at Becky's home recently. She was an unfamiliar face and seemed to be very curious about the strange guests who emerged out of the basement. From time to time, she quietly observed these people from the corner of her eyes as they chatted jovially with the "Legendary Mercenary". Hao Ren gave the maid a friendly smile. He then pointed to the TV and computer in the living room. "You have a very rich life here. Have you gotten used to using them?"
"Yeah, now my life depends on them." Becky smiled. "Thank you for sending these things over. The life of a noble here's totally horrible… There are feasts and cocktail parties all the time, sometimes the King would summon me to discuss some really serious business that I can't understand. It's not as fun as going to the ruins and risking our lives in the past."
"Who was the one bursting with excitement about being a noble back then?" Lily teased. "And, boasting for hours in banquets all the time, without needing to drink a single drop of water."
Becky twisted the corner of her lips. "The excitement has worn off. Now I'd rather watch cartoons than go to those parties."
Y'zaks was studying Becky's TV and computer curiously. He noticed that they were placed on modified traditional Hollettan furniture, but to accommodate cabling and parts, they were carefully modified so that cables could be routed from the underside of the furniture to a sparkling alchemy device nearby. Y'zaks was full of curiosity. "You didn't use the generator that we gave you? Why did you change the equipment?"
"The generator was too noisy and it experienced a little problem. The dark elven technicians haven't been able to fix it even after fiddling with it for days. So, I got myself something more innovative," said Becky proudly. "This thing's linked to a magic circle behind the house. I asked the vice president of the Mage Association to make it, modify the magic formula of the lightning trap, and improve the energy cycle as well as the supply mechanism. That way, it could produce a stable current output. Then, using druse to produce the voltage regulator and transformer, coupled with an alchemical AC-DC converter... the power supply problem was solved."
Hao Ren was dumbfounded. He did not understand how that magic worked, but he could somehow see that Becky had seemingly done an incredible thing!
Just as he expected, Becky continued, "We also have many awesome alchemy technologies here. They're applied in things like long-distance communication, public lighting, ventilation ducts and the drainage pumps used in mines. However, their applications aren't that common. Nevertheless, some scholars call this energy conversion system that the vice president and I made a… Control on Energy Standards. The King's going to allocate funds to study this thing… Why are you people staring at me?"
Lily sized up Becky, saying, "Finally someone's done what traverser should do. So apparently you're the protagonist?"
Becky was confused. 
Meanwhile, Hao Ren lamented quietly. He had been going around worlds with his bunch of weirdoes, traveling to countless alien planets. By that standard of traversing, they were already at the apex of the definition, yet they had not done a single thing a traverser would have supposedly done—build alien infrastructure, conquer the world, hold alien exercises, even spread paper-and glass-making as well as metallurgy. Hao Ren had always thought that his was the true style of a traverser; little did he expect to see the real template of a traverser to actually be Becky herself. He could not help but recall the moment Becky arrived at his home; she said she would like to start an inter-world trade and build up her influence...
"You're on the wrong boat." Hao Ren sighed as he patted Becky on the shoulder, lamenting, "You'd at least be a protagonist in any other team, and live to the end of the script."
Becky still could not make head or tail of it. 
Bored, Nangong Wuyue went to fiddle with Becky's laptop. She was curious to know what website a person in the Otherworld would surf. After scrolling a few pages, she shouted, "What are you doing browsing Taobao in this world?"
Becky plastered a smile on her face. "Just for fun… Can you bring over some food factories the next time you come?"
"Let's not talk about that now. Shall we focus on the matter of the Cult of Origination?" Hao Ren smiled and motioned Becky to be more serious. "Haven't you heard anything on your side? Any progress?"
Speaking of the Cult of Origination, Becky turned serious. She sat up straight and winked at the servants in the living room. The servants immediately closed the door and left. Only then did Becky say, "Let me start from the beginning. After you left, the whole continent started a campaign to hunt the Cult of Origination and other similar cults. Holletta was not the only one at it. The Northern Empire and the surrounding tribal countries were doing the same."
"That's quite a scale." Vivian was a bit surprised. "Wasn't it supposed to be confined to Holletta?"
"That's because two major events attracted the attention of all the people in the world. The first event was the two 'miracles' you did, i.e. lifting the Volcano of Dusk and the Giant Tree of Life into the sky. The Disciples of Glory took that opportunity to spread the news, saying that the power of the goddess had returned to the world and began to punish the heretics; they took this opportunity to launch a crusade against the Cult of Origination. The second event was the Royal City assassination incident. The post-narrative of this incident was that the goddess had intervened directly with her divine power to protect the Pope, thwarting the spell of the cult instantly. However, this incident still shocked the countries in this world. As you know, the Disciples of Glory is the only recognized Orthodox Church in this world. The Pope is deemed the pope of the whole world. His attempted assassination shocked the believers all over. Whether they like it or not, all countries in this world started to hunt the Cult of Origination," said Becky, revealing a smile. "The incident has transpired in a way that's a little beyond our expectation, but overall, it's in the right direction. The Cult of Origination has developed their influence outside the Kingdom of Holletta. They remain mainly active in Holletta because most of the relics of the goddess are in the kingdom, but they've also established a number of strongholds outside..."
Speaking of this, Becky took out a large map from under the table and laid the map open. There were many small dots on the map. Becky pointed at the marks. "The Northern Empire has discovered that a spinoff of the Cult of Origination, the Holy Church of Origins, has spread to the Darzin Province. There are secret altars and activities of the Holy Church of Origin in the werewolf tribal nation, the dark elven enclaves, and Eventide, the city of the Blood Clan. To tell you the truth, even the Pope was shocked. Marshal Ophra has also lamented that the Cult of Origination is becoming scarier than ever, that they're like a thousand-year-old thorn (a plant native to Holletta); the part above the ground may not be very obvious, but underground is an endless web of roots. But fortunately, people all over the world are joining efforts; they're almost done digging up the roots."
Lily looked at the map and said, "Becky, after not seeing you in such a long time, you suddenly look like an expert with the map."
Becky scratched her hair and smirked. "With this prop in hand, it's easier to get close to her when she's here."
Hao Ren had expected this. He could not help but sigh. "You're really persistent, eh? I think you two should just become lezzies."
Becky blushed. "Marshal Ophra is an ancient species and she's highly drug-resistant. It's not easy to drug her…"
Everyone was shocked beyond words.


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants.

Ron and the others presented the new method before Pollux and unsurprisingly, he was surprised. Just thinking of the implications if the kids actually managed to do it, it was enough for him to be shocked and surprised for a while. ``You kids have to stop giving me so many surprises all time. It' not good for my old body to be shocked all the time.'' Listening to Pollux's words, the kids just smiled and laughed at his antics. They all knew how proud Pollux was of them. Even if they were one of the kids who joined later, no one was ever ignored or mistreated in Pollux's presence. After getting a little bit of direction from Pollux, the kids went back to their schedule, wake up, exercise and then converge at the previously decided House. There they practiced their Potions, Alchemy, Runes and Spell casting abilities. They and their families knew how big of an advantage the Runic Tressures made by Ron were and they did not want to waste it. Besides Ron, who had started learning basically since he was born. The others weren't something to look over as well, the eldest three, Bill, Charlie and Percy could all cast Wandless and Chantless Magic and the others were getting better every day. They could all now make Third Year Potions without the safety measures and could even make some High Level Alchemical, Runic and Magical Treasures without any help.

Everyone of course specialised in particular areas but they never let the other areas fall behind. Besides studying normal Magical Subjects, they also learnt about Wizard Etiquette and History while also learning to duel with and without Magic. All of these different lessons were spread across the week and gave them time to focus on making the products for their shop and work on the Werewolf Animagus Project. A few months passed and whilst they made progress, they weren't close to a proper result. ``Ahhhh! The testing of all these different methods takes so long! Why can't we just get one result that works right then and there?!!'' ``Exactly! Why do we come up with so many methods all at once?! If we know something isn't' going to work, why do we still test it?!'' ``I can't wait for this to be over.''. Hearing the frustrated shouts of the three youngest kids in the room, the others just smiled and went back to testing the different Potion recipes and combinations of spells and materials. Luna, Ginny and Astoria were young but the environment they had grown up in made them much more mature than other kids their age. 

They grew up surrounded by hard working and genius people and none of them were slackers despite their young age. Although they were shouting in frustration a minute ago, they were back on the table, looking through books, trying to come up with another Recipe or Combination to try. It wasn't just them who was frustrated by the lack of success, they were geniuses who hadn't seen failure for a long, long time. But their grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts were all there for them, in success and failure. Another reason they kept going back to try each and every method they could think of was the fact that they weren't doing it for fame or money, they were doing it for family. They all knew how amazing and talented Remus was but that talent was buried beneath the fact he was a Werewolf. They all hated how Remus felt unworthy of his status and how they literally had to force him to go and meet his father. Although the meetings became frequent after Lyall Lupin became a member of the Grandparent club, it was even harder to see Remus beat himself up. The Wolfsana Potion helped this situation immensely but it did not cure it and thus, the kids persevered. After another few weeks of trial and error, Hogwarts Holidays came around and Bill and Percy joined the kids once again. 

After hearing about their adventures at Hogwarts like how they helped the school deal with the Boggart Issue, the kids didn't think too much about it. They already knew about the Cursed Vaults at Hogwarts and unlike the original timeline, Dumbledore only held one position in this one, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was able to deal with most of the situations very quickly. Not to mention, he had help from the Ministry and several Wizard Families. After hearing them tell their adventures, Harry excitedly said, ``We already know most of that stuff! We should be discussing where we go for the holidays this time!'' everyone was excited about once again going around Europe, vising the different properties owned by their families and just having a good time. And they had plenty of good times but they were still working on their project. And with Bill and Charlie joining them, they had another two minds to source ideas from. But most of their time was still spent playing around the Mansions and Villas while going around the Magical and non-Magical Markets around the areas. 

Every time they visited a new area, they always went to the local equivalents of Diagon Alley and they would always find new and interesting books, Ingredients and Materials. Each and every one of which almost always gave them a few ideas about the Werewolf Cure and even other projects they had going on at the side.
