This journey involves my answering of 365 creative writing prompts in a desperate bid to overcome my laziness.
The prompts come from https://thinkwritten.com/365-creative-writing-prompts/ and I write one a day.

THE SITUATION RIGHT NOW: I've gotten over the majority of my laziness. I'm unlikely to update this much. It's pretty much complete. The novel I'm working on is Dark Seas Leading Demise

In short, by sending out all this kind of stuff that is not useful at all, Zhou Xuan can not only save a lot of time, but also be appreciated by the uncles and granddaughters in the village.

Kill two birds with one stone

"I'm definitely a cleaning genius"

Zhou Xuan quickly acted according to the plan, clearing out all the worthless things in the Zongmen.

Then, greet the uncles and uncles in the village to come over and make a point.

"Ding"

"Total score of the current Zongmen environment 3 points"

I have to say that Zhou Xuan's plan has made great progress in stages.

After the worthless stuff was sent out, although the carefrees became much more empty, the spacious environment was undoubtedly more comfortable.

The overall score also jumped from 1 point to 3 points.

"Next, it's all on my own."

Folding up his sleeves, he took brooms, wooden buckets, rags, etc. Zhou Xuan didn't waste a little time, and devoted himself directly to the cleaning.

Night is already deep.

There are countless clear glows on the moon.

At this moment, five hours have passed since Zhou Xuan began cleaning.

Although tired enough, his whole body is sore and numb, but Zhou Xuan's "war result" is undoubtedly extremely brilliant.

The floors and walls of several halls were polished by him.

Numerous furnishings have also become orderly.

The worry-free faction is completely ruined and renewed.

"Ding"

"The total score of the current Zongmen environment is 5 points."

"Congratulations to the host, complete the difficult task, and get a counterattack of the lower grade."

"Within 10 minutes after the use of the Xiapin Anti-Wound Charm, monks below the fifth level of true vigor, all forms of killing punches, kicks, knives, sword stabs, poisoning, etc. on the host will remain intact Ground to hurt him. "

After a series of system prompts sounded in his mind, Zhou Xuan felt that a red spell appeared in his space ring.

This spell is very simple, small and similar in style to the previous one.

It's just that the light spot it shines on is the word "anti-injury".

"That is to say, as long as I use the anti-trauma, others will hit me, and it will become his own hit."

Zhou Xuan's eyes brightened and she was pleasantly surprised. "The effect of this stuff is absolutely amazing."

Obviously, Zhou Xuan was very satisfied with the rewards for the ordinary and difficult tasks.

The successful completion of two consecutive times also boosted Zhou Xuan's confidence and thought that hell-level difficult tasks could be challenged.

So, after shaking his spirits, he began to urge in his heart.

"System, show me, hell-level missions"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xuan's eyes appeared with a golden text.

Currently groundable missions

It 's ridiculous that there is n't even a decent disciple, so please ask the host to recruit a suitable disciple as soon as possible

It is required that the qualifications of the disciples recruited shall not be lower than the top grade.

Time limit of three days

Mission Reward Extreme Temple of Heaven Junior School Construction

"This hell-level difficulty is too exaggerated."

After reading the mission description, Zhou Xuan's smile instantly freezes, and her face is irreplaceable.

The reason is very simple. After Zhou Kong, the patriarch of the creative school, was deceived by heavy begging sons, the worry-free school was reduced to the laughingstock of major gates within dozens of miles.

I don't know how many people sneered at the carefrees.

I'm just afraid that no one wants to join.

It is conceivable how difficult the carefrees are now

During this time, despite Zhou Xuan's best efforts, he even cheated, and even promised to send a rock candy gourd every day, he still could not recruit one of the most ordinary disciples.

As for recruiting a disciple who is not inferior to top grade

Ha ha.

This is basically the same as saying that dreams are not much different

Qualification and quality, what is the concept

To put it simply,

Possessing top-quality qualifications is definitely a genius who is one of the best

The worry-free ancestral ancestor and prestigious Zhou Kong, who are so famous for more than ten years, are just Chinese-style qualifications.

And well known.

As long as a qualified genius grows up smoothly, he will definitely be able to dominate a town in the future and become the object of admiration by countless people.

Therefore, once the qualified genius appears, it will cause a lot of madmen to compete.

Under such circumstances, I would like to ask, where can Zhou Xuan have the opportunity to recruit a talented disciple who is not inferior to top grade?

"This, system, are you making a typo? It should be that the qualification is not lower than the lower grade," Zhou Xuan asked with a bit of hope.

In front of Zhou Xuan, a paragraph of text appeared again

Task description is not wrong

Please bear in mind that not everyone can join our carefree

In addition, given that our worry-free faction is the most compelling sect of the Yanhuang continent, the current worship fee for this sect is Xiapin Lingshi, which changes at any time according to the status of the sect.

According to this rule, the system has set up a wooden sign in front of the mountain gate for notification, and the host must not change or void it without authorization.

"Bai Zong Fei, 1 Xing Pin Ling Stone"

Taking a sigh of relief, Zhou Xuan was already shocked and his entire face was stiff. "This, this is a bit exaggerated."

No wonder Zhou Xuan would have this reaction.

You know, a good spirit stone can be worth two hundred gold.

In the area around Qingyang Town, the most powerful 3-star Zongmen Boxing faction, Baizong fee is only a small amount of gold.

The one-star worry-free worship fee is 100 times higher than the three-star worship

If such an outrageous thing is known to outsiders, I am afraid that on the spot, I will doubt whether the head of Zhou Xuan is crazy.

"In three days, I want to find a person with a qualification above the top grade, but also willing to pay a lower grade spirit stone as a disciple of worship."

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Xuan's face was filled with helplessness, "Even if I have the ability to perceive qualifications, I'm afraid there is no hope."

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuanwei only secretly began to pray. He has helped the grandmother to cross the road and accumulated the character that can erupt once.

Otherwise, his first hell-level mission can only end in failure.

"Anyway, sleep peacefully before talking"

The next day.

The gentle sun shines on the earth.

Tete, Tete, Tete.

An elegant carriage is now on the road to Qingyang Town.

"Hundred flowers are blooming, birds singing and dancing, the scenery here is really good"

On the carriage, a teenager who was a little closer to his sister-in-law in temperament was looking through the curtains and was too lazy to admire the beauty of the outside world.

"Master, it's Yingge Yanwu, not a bird song." An old white-browed man in the carriage couldn't help but correct it.

The strongest invincible Zongmen system. There is a mysterious and strange Zongmen. This sect is very small, but its rules are amazing. Even heavenly pride of God's quality comes to worship, and he is rejected. Someday. The overwhelming suzerain suddenly announced to the public that "there is a lack of miscellaneous people, who would like to come to me, me, and me" For this miscellaneous

(I'm gonna talk a bit about my personal journey so if you guys are not interested, then just skip to the tips.) 
Like many normal teenagers, I had gone through an awkward phase. Sad thing is, I went through it in grade 9, so most of the people in my high school still remember my awkward phase. (I'm in grade 12 now.) But after looking at pictures from that dark time, I realised that my face didn't change at all. It was my style, my mannerisms, and my hair. I also found a deeper meaning in those changes. So here's what I found that made the difference between awkward phase me and glown up me:

1. A fail proof hairstyle is plain, natural hair. 😻 Also try all lengths of hair by cutting it to shoulder length first (or longer if you are scared) and then growing it out. See which stage you like best. (I don't think this would work with afro hair. I've never had friends who have afro hair.) I love a YouTube video for tips on this. Please comment to let me know if you guys are interested in it

2. Try to get contact lenses. 👀 I know some people suit glasses. I personally don't. But getting contacts really helps if you have oily skin and glasses just keep slipping down your nose. Or if you are like me, with 800 degrees myopia, then ditching heavy glasses feels so good. Getting contact lenses also allow me to go crazy without worrying about it flying off my face. 

3. Don't use makeup for the sake of using makeup. Use it according to your needs, your face, and your style. Also, keep in mind your overall outfit. Sometimes, a loud outfit with a loud makeup can take over your body and hide you. You want people to see you, not your makeup. Of course, there are exceptions such as creative makeup. 

4. Be mindful while shopping. 💸Just because something looks good, doesn't mean it will look good on you. Also avoid fast fashion to save up for more quality items. Always check for the quality of fabrics, the color scheme of your closet, and what you usually wear. If you don't wear skirts, don't buy a skirt. I also love a YouTube video for tips on this. Please comment to let me know you guys are interested. 

5. Work out.💦 You don't have to aim for losing weight or gaining curves. Working out enhances your metabolism, the lines on your arms and legs (makes you look extra sexy), and improves your complexion. You will radiate from the inside out. Working out doesn't have to be tiring or tedious too. You can try dancing, cycling, stretching (splits are cool!), etc. 

6. Commit to a hobby.🔥 Mine would be piano, which I started playing when I was three. During my awkward phase, I wasn't practicing at all and I was embarrassed to tell people I had been learning it since I was three and I actually have certificates for it. REALLY COMMIT TO A SKILL PLEASE! Also, don't underestimate the amount of money your special skill can bring you!! I received 500RMB once for winning an award in a writing competition, plus 100RMB for being a volunteer at the award ceremony. XD

7. Please listen to your mother when she says you look bad.💯 She's probably right. I can't express how many style mistakes I made because of not listening to her. 

8. Be more reserved. 😶Talk only when you have something meaningful to say. My awkward phase consists a lot of me blurting out dumb, hypocritical, ignorant, and sometimes offensive things. I think this is why I didn't have friends. Also, if you are not sure if your opinion on something is right (as in, in consideration of all perspectives and not on an ignorant basis), ask questions. It's always fun to get to know what others think. But if you don't have the ability to recognise your ignorance, then I can't help you. Only time and maturity can help you at this point. 🙄

9. Take care of your skin.💦 Depending on where you live, you might not need a skincare routine. Taking care of your skin does not necessarily means buying products and putting them on your face. Taking care of your skin can be applying body lotion, washing your face with a simple face wash as soon as you get home (gets rid of pollutants), clipping your bangs up for sports (avoids forehead pimples), not touching your face, etc. 

10. Do your eyebrows.💯 If you are born with perfect eyebrows, don't touch them. But I had a uni brow. For beginners, personally I feel like it's better to use a small brow shaver instead of a tweezer. It does not hurt as much and if you fail, your hair grows out faster. If you can afford, get your brows done for the first time at a salon, then follow the shape at home when it grows out. 

These are the tips I have. Hope you guys liked them. Please give constructive feedback if there's anything I can improve. Thank you for reading, lovelies!! 💋

"Momo... hurry up!!.... we're going to be late!!" Yelled Linda, as she rushed towards the newly constructed building within the school premises.
Little Momo and her, were on their way towards the chemistry laboratory.
Today, they were taking Chemistry 3.
Ever since the beginning of April, they had been taking 6 main courses:
•Biology 1 (Classes of living organisms)
•Math 4 (simple variable math, like find X)
•Chemistry 2
•Chemistry 3 (introduction to lab science)
•Physics 1
•Phyno 4
Apart from these ones, they also had other fun and creative courses that occurred once a week... like:
•Arts & Craft 1
•Ethics & Morality 1 
•Health & Hygiene 1
•Literature 1
•Music 1
• And Physical Education 
Another surprising thing for the students was that this year, the school had created a Student Council body based on the votes from the students.
Also, each class had a class monitor and deputy class monitor that's entrusted in assisting the teachers in class, aiding the weak students, roll call... and so on.
No matter what amongst the 2 leaders, one had to be female and the other male.
Generally, once the winners for both the Male Group and female group emerged.... the students would then vote between the 2, and choose who should be the class monitor or deputy class monitor.
For the biology class, the students were taught the basics like: cells, microbes, plant systems, animal systems, invertebrates and vertebrates.
In short, they were taught about all the classes of living organisms.
Of course for Math 4, they focused on simple variable math... like 5x=10, find X.
In that class, they focused on understanding one to two variable equations..... which were usually linear equations.
For chemistry 2, the students would still focused on reactions, atoms and so on.... but now with the use of calculators, they had begun learning about calculating molecular weight and so on.
Of course just so that the students could breathe a little, music, literature, physical education and arts & craft were essentially a must.
In short, this semester was a busy one.
Today, Linda and little Momo were heading towards the Chemistry Lab in the new school building.
Once they got in, they immediately climbed the stairs until they arrived at the 3rd floor... where they were greeted with a large group of students outside the lab.
The area was bustling with busy students.
Friends greeted each other with hugs or playful punches, while others had their eyes glued on their books as they continued doing assignments that were due in the next class.
Some already had their lab coats and safety wears on, while others were busy wearing theirs on now.
In fact, everyone was doing their own thing as they waited for the class to begin.
Instantly, the duo opened their bags and quickly pulled out their neatly folded lab coats and safety items.
For this class, everyone was required to wear their lab coats, gloves, rubber boots, and goggles.
Linda looked at her watch and knew that it would soon be time for them to go in.
And right on queue, Mother Kim and teacher Gophen opened the lab doors from instead and ushered the students in.
"Morning Teacher Kim!"
"Morning teacher Gophen!"
"Morning teacher...."
"__"
Everyone greeted their teachers, as they walked in and immediately found their usual spot.
The Laboratory was massive, with several working slabs, cupboards with equipments stored in them, and a small storage room at its front.
Linda and Momo immediately spotted their other group members, and rushed over to join them.
Ever since the beginning of the semester, they had been put in groups of 5.
Apparently, these people would be their lab partners throughout the entire semester.
"Alright.... before we begin, you all know the drill.
In front of each group, are 5 question sheets.
You all have 7 minutes to answer them.
Remember, no cheating and no copying.... these small tests make up 20% of your final grade.
Now.... Begin!!"
Linda immediately flipped her question sheet and got to work.
For this Chemistry 3 course, they had 1 theory class on Tuesdays, and 1 lab session on Thursdays.
And at the beginning of each lab session, they would have mini quizzes that would test them on what they had learnt in their Tuesday classes.
Chemistry 3 was a course based on Laboratory work, so they had to know about the equipments in front of them, safety lab hazards and so on.
In fact... Ever since the students knew that these questions were 20%, they had taken them seriously
Linda filled her name and school number on the question sheet, before proceeding to answer the questions.
The questions were straight to the point, and easy to answer if one was paying attention during lectures.
And just like that, time flew by quickly... 7 minutes later, the quizzes collected back by teacher Gophen.
And the papers were collected, Mother Kim began distributing the Lab manual sheets for today's experiment.
.
"Alright.... before we begin our Laboratory experiment, let's recap on what Teacher Winnie has been you all in Chemistry 2." Mother Kim said.
The students immediately took out their books and writing materials.... While others flipped the pages of their books to the last pen-filled page.
It was important for the students to know about what reactions they were going to perform today, hence it was good for them to recap on what they were previously taught.
"So as usual, let's look back on what you all have been learning so far.
I need a few examples of chemistry around us... anyone?" Mother Kim asked, as she waited for the students to raise their hands.
"Yes Filipa?" She said, while pointing at a little girl at the front of the room.
"Air is essentially chemistry, because it's constantly undergoing a chemical change.
For example, we breathe out carbon dioxide and take in oxygen... so air is always changing.
Also... air undergoes changes whenever smoke is released in to the atmosphere by burning, hence it's part of Chemistry."
"Correct!!.
Any other examples of Chemistry around us?" Kim asked.
"Our bodies."
"The ocean"
"When we make bread."

"This skill is so powerful that it's incredibly disgusting." This was the only statement Aurus could let out after reading up on the description of the newly fused skill. Nonetheless, on the inside, he was looking at the skill in awe, wondering as to what the limits of skill fusion could be. Not only that, he was also pondering as to how he could make this newly fused skill a trump card of his in the upcoming battle.
After fusing the three skills that he thought were all useless into one skill that was actually incredibly powerful, Aurus could not help but have expectations for the skill fusions he was about to do next. Indeed, with the realization that he could create intrepidly strong skills, Aurus was now hooked on fusing skills together.
Whoosh!
Opening up the Skill Fusion screen once more, Aurus commanded the system to change the list of skills he was looking at to compose of all of his skills, not just limiting himself to active and hybrid skills. If active and hybrid skills could be fused, then why not passive skills as well?
To be honest, after his first successful skill fusion, he started throwing skills into the Skill Fusion screen at random, only obtaining prompts from the system that informed him that the skill combinations he threw in would not work. It also informed him that the skills that were going to be fused together should have some relation, or else fusion would not even happen. Surprisingly, there was no downside to fusing skills randomly, just wasted time.
After that, he also tried fusing skills with the Ruler skills he obtained from the inheritance. Of course, a prompt appeared in front of his field of vision once again, informing him that Ruler skills could not be fused as they were tied to a title of his. To be on the safe side, the system also informed him that he could not fuse two Ruler skills together. Obtaining a prompt like that, Aurus could not help but think that the system had some level of awareness.
After obtaining those prompts which told him about the limitations of skill fusion, Aurus decided to look at the list of skills once more, taking those words of advice into consideration as he made wiser choices this time, instead of just fusing random skills together willy-nilly, hoping that the fusion would succeed.
And so, a few minutes later, after being bombarded with prompts, Aurus used the Skill Fusion screen once more. This time, with the skills he chose having some relation to them.
"System, fuse [Flux Chiliocosm], [Chiliocosm of Spirit], and [Stick-Flux Unification] together," he commanded the system, slightly trembling as there was a chance that the fusion wouldn't go through. Nonetheless, he was pretty confident that this skill fusion would work as all of them were related to his energy source. To be more exact, the vessels where he holds the energy.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Not long after, three skill names appeared on the Skill Fusion screen, each and every one being the skills Aurus mentioned for the system to fuse. A few seconds later, these skill names started to faintly glow as a prompt appeared in front of Aurus' field of vision not long after. Reading through the prompt, Aurus could not help but radiate an aura of happiness as he muttered to himself in glee, "It finally worked!"
Ding!
'Would you like to fuse the three skills together? As all three of them are of the same grade, 5 of your levels shall be consumed.'
"Of course, I do," Aurus replied without hesitation, with three motes of light appearing inside his mind once more not long after. They collided once more with one another as usual, eventually melding into a giant ball of vibrant light. A few seconds later, a notification appeared in front of Aurus' field of vision, informing him of the newly fused skill that had just been created, as well as the fact that his level had dropped down to 9.
Ding!
'Skill Fusion is successful. The passive Species skill [Supreme Spirit-Flux Chiliocosm (Special)] has been created.'
Of course, since this was a new skill he had obtained, he could not help but read through the skill description, muttering praises in awe as to how amazing the effects were on the newly fused skill.
Ding!
_________
[Supreme Spirit-Flux Fabrication (Special)]
Grade: Transcendent (C)
Birthed from the fusion of three skills which served the purpose of containing a strong yet plentiful energy, this skill expands the limit of how much energy, energy being Flux Points, this skill could hold. As a resonance has formed between the three skills, a superbly great amount of FP can be held at once, as well as the fact that a great amount of energy can be regenerated at once. Not only that, the effect of the energy is also enhanced, allowing the user to exert more power into their abilities.
>Increases efficacy of FP-based skills by 30%
>Reduces cost of FP-based skills by 30%
>All that come close to the user gain a 15% increased energy regeneration rate buff
FP Capacity: 20000
FP Regeneration Rate: 500 FP per 10 seconds
________
"Tssss…" Aurus could not help but imitate the sound of sucking air between the teeth, aghast from the effect of the skill when comparing it to the effects of the three separate skills from before. "Although the amount of FP I can utilize is halved thanks to the Spirit Energy Core, that's still 10000 FP I can use at once! If I had that amount while I was making the Spirit Clone, I would've been able to create a Rank 1 Animate clone instead of Rank 0!"
As he continued to think about the possibilities of having a lot of SP, he could not help but say, "Then again, starting out as a Rank 1 Animate by relying through the system would probably be a worse choice than starting out from Rank 0 in the long run."
"Anyways, moving on." Placing these thoughts in the back of his head, he then continued to look at the list of skills that weren't fused yet, trying to formulate a skill fusion that would use up more than 3 skills as that would definitely result in an incredibly powerful skill.
A few seconds later in his attempt of formulating such a recipe of skills, he could not help but notice four Class Skills that were around the same line of thought, being around the manipulation of Flux for greater power. Well…at the very least, that's how Aurus interpreted it.
Looking at the Skill Fusion screen once more, Aurus commanded the system, "Fuse all of the active skills regarding Flux."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, four intangible threads of light, that came out of Aurus' body, made their way towards the Skill Fusion screen, filling up four spaces as the four of them glowed with vibrant light not long after, a decent contrast to that from the skill fusion before.
Aurus could not help but notice it as well, asking himself, "Is the amount of light emitted by the skills in the resonance proportional to the possible power of the skill?"
He tried to recall the amount of light that was released by the first skill fusion he did, slightly surprised that it emitted a bit more light compared to the fusion of energy storage skills.
Ding!
'Would you like to fuse [Unworldly Flux Weapon Fabrication], [Unworldly Flux Armor Fabrication], [Third Heaven Flux Enhancement], and [Grand Flux Samsara] together? As all of these skills are of the same grade, 8 of your levels shall be consumed.'
"Hoh? 8 of my levels shall be consumed? Since a fusion of 3 skills cost 5 of my levels, then a fusion of only 2 skills would cost around 2 or 3 levels? I'll have to find that out later," Aurus muttered for a bit after reading up on the cost of the fusion. Nonetheless, he accepted the prompt, dropping his level down to 2 afterwards. Of course, he used up a portion of his unused experience once more, getting back to max level in an instant as four motes of light appeared in his mind.
Unexpectedly, while the four motes of light collided with one another in an elegant yet vibrant dance of sorts, Aurus could not help but hear a dragon's roar resound from the collisions, with it becoming more frequent the closer the four were going to fuse as one. Eventually, the four had fused into one entity of light, illuminating Aurus' mind in a vibrant light as multiple dragon roars resounded not long after.
Ding!
Which was followed up by a notification sound.
'Skill Fusion is successful. The active Species skill [Ancient Modular Flux Equipment Fabrication (Epic)] has been created.'
As Aurus read up on the notification he had received, he could not help but gasp in surprise, forcing himself to stay silent as he did not want to startle Fenrir and Charisa, shouting inwardly in extreme glee instead.
"An Epic skill! I can't believe it…I actually obtained an Epic skill!"
As Special skills were stronger variants of normal skills, Rare skills being stronger variants of Special skills, Epic skills were on a higher level compared to them. Once a skill had reached the Epic level, even if it was a Mortal skill, it would still output power equivalent to that of a Transcendent level skill, or better yet, a Divine level skill!
Although Aurus had obtained a lot of Epic skills back in ISE, Legendary skills even, this was the first time Aurus had obtained an Epic skill in his current life, which was based on ISE. Of course, since it was his first Epic skill, he was quite excited to read the skill's description, bringing it up not long after.
Ding!
________
[Ancient Modular Flux Equipment Fabrication (Epic)]
Grade: Transcendent (C)
Birthed from the fusion of four skills that specialized in the usage of Flux for greater power, a skill that could surpass the power of a lot of skills had been made, allowing the user to forge equipment out of the user's Flux. Not only that, the skill also allows the user to create modifications to the equipments made in terms of effects, even allowing the equipment to be given out to other users.
>Grade Range of Crafted Equipment: Grand to Mythic

>Attachable Set Effects to Crafted Equipment: Rejuvenation, Arcana, Damnation, Fortress, Vitality
>Types of Craftable Equipment: Physical, Magic, Ignition
FP Cost: 500 FP
________
If Aurus had eyes, those eyes of his would definitely twinkle like a million shooting stars due to the sheer amount of awe and reverence he had for this skill. Not only that, multiple ideas for trump cards started to pop out of Aurus' mind due to the great amount of modularity Aurus could do to the equipment.
At the very end of his thinking session, Aurus could not help but mutter, "If this is what skill fusion can give me…why don't I fuse up even more skills?"
And so…that's what he did.
…
While Aurus was basking in the feeling of obtaining a lot of ideas, as well as greater combat power due to the fusions he was doing, something different was happening within a certain portion of the Celestial Plane.
Celestial Plane, Kurohana's plane.
"Success." Kurohana could not help but lightly chuckle as she looked through the white orb in front of her, looking at Aurus, who was currently fusing up his skills together.
While looking at Aurus, she raised both of her hands into the air, manifesting a few threads of green light that went towards the orb not long after. These threads were infused with the Law of Natural Flow, which Kurohana had asked for permission to manipulate as she did not want to be berated by Phatia again.
As she looked at the green threads slowly meld with the orb, displaying Aurus' surroundings, a light smile appeared on her face as she said in a slightly proud manner, "Finally, I removed that invincibility skill from his skillset. With him not having that skill, there would be greater chance for him to lose in the upcoming war that's going to happen, forcing him to recuperate. While he's recuperating, with the help of the threads I infused, that will make someone find him and use him as a weapon!"
"I'm a genius, a true genius." Kurohana could not help but laugh after going over through her plans. Not long after though, she continued to look at her orb, letting out a sigh as she muttered, "To be honest, I would have definitely waited for a year since that would allow Aurus to mature even more, increasing the nurturing speed of the weapon. But due to the plane's current circumstances, I have no choices but to do this."
As she said this, she could not help but recall the war that happened back then in the Celestial Plane, which killed off a lot of Lesser Gods, but allowed a decent number of Lesser Gods to become Greater Gods in the process. Nonetheless, the memories of the Divine Demon War to Kurohana was something she did not want for others to experience, which forced her to hasten Aurus' fate of becoming a weapon.
"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stop him from forming a Spirit Clone." Kurohana sighed as she panned towards another section of Erudinia, the orb displaying an old yet wise-looking man drinking a bit of tea. She could not help but slightly frown as she continued to talk. "If he did not craft a Spirit Clone, then the strength of his soul would boost the nurturing speed of the weapon even further. Unfortunately, it seems that someone in my world has become aware of my actions…"
She let out a sigh not long after, muttering, "If I had the time to do so, I would definitely eliminate this fellow, but I have to focus all of my efforts to getting Aurus crafted into a weapon as fast as possible. The weapons I've crafted, although having a high grade, don't have enough power and affinity to fight against the demons."
"Only with a soul like Aurus' soul would I be able to create my true masterwork weapon, a weapon that can cut through anything and everything."
"By then…I would also be able to fight against those that plotted against me. Just you wait."

If you're not a fan of fourth wall breaking (which I'm also not a fan of), please try and get past Chapter 5 because that's when the novel truly starts to shine. This note will be removed once I edit out the fourth wall breaking.
----------
Under a planned twist of fate, Aurus was struck by a bolt of lightning, forcing him into the reality that he was never going to be able to play his favorite game ever again.

Fortunately, as if luck was on his side, a goddess took pity on him and gave him the choice to reincarnate as a stick? As to why she gave him that choice, I don't know but he still picked it anyway!

Witness the adventures of Aurus and his path to becoming a tree or probably something else. I don't know, I haven't planned much.

Cover by: yueyi

[Natta Blades (Grade 2)]

Damage: 17-23

Effect 1: [Bleed]- Applies the bleed effect when hitting the target's skin. Deal 1 damage every 5 seconds for 1 minute.
Effect 2: [Pairing] - Natta Blades exist as a pair, without their twin blade, reduced the weapons stats and effects by 50%

Li Wei crouched next to Ranger Oleg's body and picked the two daggers. They were unexpectedly Grade 2 equipment! The Natta Blades were an excellent pair of weapons but they paled in comparison to Li Wei's Dark Runic Swords. He swiftly placed them in his inventory and continued to search Ranger Oleg's body.

To his disappointment, there were no more valuables aside from the ring at his finger and the keys to open the graveyard. Having been playing the role of the gravekeeper, Ranger Oleg did not wear any rare equipment. 

"Just too bad... But I hope your brother won't disappoint me."

Li Wei picked the ring and the keys and made his way to Mage Oleg. 

[Skull wand (Grade 2)]
Intelligence +1
Wisdom +1

Skill: [Summon Skeleton]

[Summon Skeleton (level 1)]
Summons a skeleton to fight for the user for 3 minutes. All the stats of the skeleton are equal to the caster's wisdom.
Mana cost: 60
Cooldown: 2 hours.

"What a powerful wand! I was so lucky he did not use this skill!" exclaimed Li Wei. In the hand of a priest who invested a lot in Wisdom, even at this stage, they could summon a skeleton with all stats set at 25. The skeleton would be much stronger than any players or even NPCs at that level.

[Magic Silk Robe (Grade 2)]
Armor +3
Magic resist +7

Skill: [Mana absorption]

[Mana absorption (level 1)]
A passive skill that increases the user's mana regeneration rate.
Mana Regeneration +1/second

"No wonder he was able to cast so many skills. He could regenerate so much mana... It is even better than my [Tear of Fairies]."

Li Wei sent the two pieces of equipment in his inventory and continued to loot.

[Boots of Gelor]
Armor: +6

Skill: [Blink]

[Blink (level 1)]
Instantly teleports the user a short distance away.
Teleportation distance: 3m
Mana cost: 40
Cooldown: 10 minutes

[Aquamarine Trousers]
Magic resist +10

Skill: [Refresh]

[Refresh (level 1)]
Instantly refreshes the cooldown of a skill whose cooldown time is less than two minutes, including itself.
Mana cost: 30
Cooldown: 2 minutes.

Li Wei's eyes widened. What a deadly combo. The Aquamarine Trousers combined with the Magic Silk Robe formed the ideal set of equipment of a mage. "D*mn, I could have been in so much more trouble. Fortunately, he did not blatantly attack me when I was close to his brother."

"Such a pity I am not a mage... These items are so good," exclaimed Li Wei. He looked at the pieces of equipment in his inventory with envy. They were all tailored for mages, however, Li Wei still decided to change his pants for the [Aquamarine Trousers] and his boots for the [Boots of Gelor].

Both items outclassed his previous equipment. He continued to search for more loot but unfortunately, Mage Oleg only had two more rings. He did not have any leg guards, gloves, armguards or hat.

Li Wei briefly looked at the rings but quickly lost interest. He could not take off his [Ring of Chaos] and the ring with [Earth Wall] was still very useful to Li Wei. Unfortunately, the Mage's pendant also exploded after activating its skill earlier.

These were all the equipment Mage Oleg had but aside from that, Li Wei also found an old yellow book in the mage's robe. It was already clearly damaged by time. However, when Li Wei grabbed it, he obtained the following system prompt:

[System prompt: You have found a tome containing the knowledge of the skill: [Roots of Magic]. Do you want to learn this skill? Once used, the tome will be destroyed.]

[Roots of Magic (level 0)]
Mana cost: 0
Cooldown: 5 minutes
Effects: Decrease the mana cost of all skills by 30% and decrease the cooldown of all other skills by 20%
Note: Roots of Magic will be automatically canceled if the user tries to move his legs or is affected by a strong crowd control effect

"D*mn... Another item useful for mages..." complained Li Wei. He thought he struck gold but in truth, all these items were not suitable for him. However, they would still be valuable and would bring him a large sum of money when sold.

"This should be it."

Li Wei stood up. The quest had been completed. He did not need to spend the night here since he now had the keys to the gate of the graveyard. However, as he was about to walk out of the house, Li Wei's gaze briefly landed on the small opening next to the hobs from which Mage Oleg came out.

"Now that I think about it. Since they have been robbing graves, they should have a few good things in there."

He hesitantly went through the small opening which led to a small cache. As soon as he entered, Li Wei was momentarily blinded by the glistening sight. The cache was filled with gold coins and jewels.

After plundering the graveyard for weeks, the twin brother accumulated quite a bit of gold and items. They did not hesitate to sell the items to the black market and had accumulated a small fortune by doing so. They were planning to run away very soon to enjoy their gold in a different town but unfortunately, the sole beneficiary of their shady business would be Li Wei.

[System prompt: You have found a hidden cache. Do you want to automatically add the following items to your inventory: 592 gold, 20 Grade 0 Jewels and 20 Condensed Crystals. Note that non-craftable jewels have already been converted to gold.]

[System prompt: You have found the Quest item: Chalice of Harmony. Do you want to accept the quest: The long lost Chalice.]

[Quest: The long lost Chalice]
Return the chalice to the church at the capital of an empire.
Reward: 10000 exp and a follow-up quest.

"This... This is too great! I knew the rewards for completing the quest would be huge but I did not expect so much!" exclaimed Li Wei. Without hesitation, he agreed to both system prompts. The cache was emptied in an instant as Li Wei's inventory became full.

He looked at his inventory with interest. He now had 619 gold, much more than any player could hope to obtain through normal means. The Grade 0 jewels were materials that could be embedded into weapons. They were not very useful to Li Wei as only Jewellers could use them and this profession could only be unlocked at the capital. As for the Condensed Crystal, they immediately attracted Li Wei's attention.

[Condensed Crystal]
Consume to obtain 1000 exp

Li Wei was delighted. The harvest this time was huge! He was about to use the Condensed Crystal when a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

'Since all these items were essentially robbed from the graves, will I get into trouble if I do not return them all? They should all belong to rich NPCs and their families might come after me... The Condensed Crystals coincidentally give me the exact amount of exp I would have obtained if I submitted the quest.'

He was in a dilemma. The harvest looked too good to be true and after thinking for a while, Li Wei came up with a potential scenario. In the end, he chose to not touch the Condensed Crystals yet. He would first go to the Warrior Association and see whether they would ask for the items. 

'If it was a subjugation quest, it would have been fine to just take everything but this quest is a bit different. It is better to be safe. Using them now won't have much effect anyway. I need more than 40 thousand exp to level up again.'

Li Wei was about to leave the house when suddenly, two system prompts sounded:

[System prompt: An emergency quest has been issued: Save the warehouses!]

[Quest: Save the warehouses(Unique)]

[Information]

The warehouses of Verdan Town have all mysteriously caught fire. Help the guards put out the fire and save the food stored in the warehouses

Task 1: Go to the well near the warehouses and help the guard put out the fire by carrying buckets of water from the well to the warehouses.
Task 2: Save the items still in the warehouses.

Reward: 100 exp per item saved or 100 exp per bucket of water carried

Note: This is an emergency quest. Players do not have to participate. Not participating in any emergency quest will worsen their relationship with the citizens of the town.

[System prompt: An emergency quest has been issued: Find the arsonists!]

[Quest: Find the arsonists(Unique)]

[Information]

The warehouses of Verdan Town have all mysteriously caught fire. The guards have identified that the incident was man-made due to the fire's abnormal resistance to magic. Help the guards find clues about the arsonists.

Task: Find clues about the arsonists and report to the barracks

Reward 1: 20000 exp for each clue given if the arsonists are caught.
Reward 2: Alternatively, players would receive a mysterious reward for arresting the arsonists by themselves.

Note: This is an emergency quest. Players do not have to participate. Not participating in any emergency quest will worsen their relationship with the citizens of the town.

"What? What on earth is happening outside?" exclaimed Li Wei. Having received the system prompts, Li Wei was certain that all the players have also received it and considering the negative effects of refusing, everyone would definitely participate. 

"This is bad." Li Wei briefly looked at his character window. His fatigue was already at 54. It was quite high and after passing 60, his stats would be affected. He was reluctant to take part in the quests but he knew all the other players also had high fatigue levels. Some might even be in worse shape than him.

He quickly left Oleg's house and went to the entrance of the graveyard. In the distance, he could already see part of the town brightly emitting an orange light. He took out the keys and opened the gates but at that moment, two more system prompts sounded:

[System prompt: An emergency quest has been issued: Defend Verdan Town!]

[Quest: Defend Verdan Town(Unique)]

[Information]

The scouts caught sight of a wave of flying demons. They should arrive at Verdan Town in the next ten minutes. Help the town defend against the demons

Task: Go to the barracks and enroll yourself for the night. Assist the guards in killing the flying demons

Reward: 10000 exp 

Note: This is an emergency quest. Players do not have to participate. Not participating in any emergency quest will worsen their relationship with the citizens of the town.

[System prompt: An emergency quest has been issued: Escort the Royals!]

[Quest: Escort the Royals(Unique)]

[Information]

The aim of the flying demons is the Earl's castle. The Earl has ordered for his two sons, the 6th prince and the 7th princess to be evacuated.

Task: Go to the barracks and volunteer to escort one of the four characters during their escape to the next town.

Reward: 10000 exp 

Note: This is an emergency quest. Players do not have to participate. Not participating in any emergency quest will worsen their relationship with the citizens of the town.

"What is this? Two more emergency quests? This cannot be a coincidence. Is it an event? Did somebody trigger it?" 

...

In the middle of the night, Skywalker rushed across the streets, wearing his trusty cloak. "Are you sure we made the right decision? There is a quest that has been released to hunt us!"

Dark King bit his lips. "We knew something like that would happen but as soon as we leave the town, everything will be fine. Nobody will know that we were behind this."

Followed by a group of players, the two players went into a dark alley where a cloaked figure was waiting for them.

"Sir, we have done our part of the plan. As you requested, we swapped some of the fruits for the explosives and put them in the warehouses. At the same time, my men have set the other warehouses on fire. They should be on their way here," solemnly said Dark King.

"Hmmm." The cloaked figure took out his cloak and nodded. If Li Wei was here, he would immediately recognize the cloaked figure as the old identifier!

"You did well. This should have caused enough chaos to split the guards." The old identifier nonchalantly pressed onto one of the bricks behind him. It activated a secret mechanism; with a muffled cranking noise, the wall behind the old man slid open.

"Follow me. Everything you asked for has been prepared. We also prepared an escape path as you requested. However, it is also being used by our men to infiltrate the town." The old identifier guided the players to a secret warehouse where countless boxes full of potions were waiting for them.

Dark King grinned as he saw the glistening potions. At the same time, he received a system prompt:

[System prompt: You have completed the quest "Cause chaos", 100000 exp awarded.]

In an instant, Dark King leveled up to level 18. He received an absurd amount of exp just for completing one quest, allowing him to completely skip level 17. Furthermore, he was not the only one, all the members of Exodia, currently in Verdan Town, received the exact same notification.

The rewards were bountiful. He also got all these boxes of potions that would further increase the stats of his guildmates. However, this quest had a huge risk. If they were caught, not only were they guaranteed to die, they would also suffer in the future as they would be labeled as criminals. This quest was a high-risk high reward quest!

"Dark King. Will our guildmates be fine? They are still running away from the guards. They might get caught," murmured Skywalker.

"Since when did you start to worry about your guildmates? A few losses are inevitable but the majority should be able to make it here. Send them a message and tell them about the brick that opens the wall."

Dark King swiftly commanded the players who transferred all the potions to their inventory. He was delighted. With the massive boost of power they have just received, Exodia should not have any trouble settling in a nearby town. At worst, if they were caught, they would be able to make a name for themselves at the Dark Cities.

The old identifier nodded as he noticed all the potions were gone. He pointed at one of the dark tunnels. "This is the exit. It leads directly outside the town."

However, at that moment, a dark figure emerged from the tunnel, followed by several other men.

The old identifier's eyes lit up. "Gogius! It has been a while. You are still as ugly as the last time I saw you."

"Old man. Time was not very kind to you either. Who are these guys?" asked Gogius as he took off his hood.

"They are the little helpers I found to cause some chaos. Some of the guards of the castle should have left to deal with the fire and with the incoming wave of demons, the castle would be even more defenseless," said the identifier.

"Good. Let's move quickly then. Our goal this time is the Eye of Mydas. It is one of the jewels found in the treasury of the Earl. According to the Messenger, it is a very powerful item that would be useful for the Heir of Darkness to release his third seal. He has already dispatched the flying demon corps to help us with this task."

"Got it. Looks like the faction is sparing no efforts in getting the best materials for the heir. Any regular jewels would have been alright but they are going for the best of the best," commented the old identifier.

"Do not question the orders of the Messenger." Gogius took the lead as several cloaked figures emerged out of the tunnel.

Dark King and the other players froze as they observed the long line of powerful NPCs making their way out of the secret tunnel. 'Looks like it was the right decision to not oppose these lunatics'

At that moment, a voice sounded next to Dark King. "By the way, Dark King. I have a proposition to make. Since you have already helped us cause chaos, why don't you help us in our next task?"

I've never really written about myself before. I don't know if it's cause I don't really value myself enough? Or because I'm not a narcissist? I think I over think myself.

Can you tell I'm a little odd? Well I've never really wanted to do anything, not anything worth value anyway. I mean I've got no skills to speak of, this is really the only thing I really enjoy. Except for other... slightly less acceptable things. (if you catch my drift)

I am a writer, and not a very good one. But lets get into this.

I love writing, when I was a highschool student I found it as a kind of... escape. writing that first story helped this shitty Author through a lot of deep shit I will get into later.

So, ever heard of Wattpad? Well that's where it all started for me. I was introduced to the app by a mutual friend of mine, lets call her H. She was writing Adult stories, use in the business call... Smut. it's kind of like fifty shades of grey with terrible writing. She asked a Friend and I to read it, and I did. But the first thing that was on my mind was that I wanted to do that.

NO NOT WHAT SHE WROTE ABOUT. I wanted to take a crack at writing, English was one of my favorite subjects in school. I loved reading but had an average reading level. So, I set up a Wattpad account. My first account has a pretty weird name, all because I rushed it.

I needed a name for the app, I was too embarrassed to go by my real name. So I used my Ps4 user name. RedisDead, but I fucking spelt it Readisdead. That was my first account.

Now the only time I had ever tried my hand at writing was in the 8th grade, creative writing section of English. Plus it was a short story, so I was running on ideas that were pretty, cliche. 

Story Number 1- Prince of the Sun and Moon
I wanted to say that this story does not in fact, have anything to do with the sun or moon. I wrote this because I was on an Anime binge, specifically magic Academy ones. Remember the magic Academy thing, that will be a main concept for my other "creations" later.

I don't really know what to say about this one, it's one my first stories and was my first attempt at fantasy. Let me tell you, I can't get enough of fantasy. Nothing makes you feel better about your sad life than creating a new one for your imaginary characters to run wild in.

Thinking back to how I was then... I feel bad, I was going through a lot of emotional problems. 

I was a shut in, I can't say for certain what happened but one day I just decided I would rather stay inside my room then go outside and play. I never really made friends, but being bullied by everyone in your grade can cause that. People were always nice in highschool though, I think they might have felt bad. Or they were making themselves look better infront of everyone else. Being nice to the weird kid, congrats.

So, you can guess that if I didn't like those people you bet your ass I never felt attracted to anybody. But I did fall for a new kid. 

Will call her K for now. That smile... she was weird, but a hot kind of weird you know? She was quirky and funny and had a face that made my heart melt like butter in a microwave. She was chubby too, like a cute little marshmallow.

But looks can be deceiving. Wish I would have known that before falling in love but hey, does anyone?

She wasn't always a terrible person. But my class has a way of bringing the worst out of people. Or maybe it was my fault? 

Fuck, if your reading this what would you say K? I need the answers but we don't talk.

okay, lets look at this from my perspective.
She was always nice to me, I mean REALLY nice. laughing at my stupid jokes and always greeted me with a smile. But my dumb idiot brain did register that SHE FUCKING LIKED ME!!

Okay so eventually she started wearing longer sleeved jackets all the time, she started acting differently. Started ignoring me occasionally, called me annoying and being rude.

Then I saw something that broke my heart. Her arms, they were sliced up. Not alot but still, she was cutting. I expressed my concern for her but she gave me the cold shoulder. 

A couple weeks go by and she skips school here and there I don't see her, then the day that makes me hate myself. Now I promise you, she did not kill herself. This is not one of those stories.

I'm excited she's back at school and I see her again. I catch her when she's taking off her hoody and... She lost weight, alot of weight.

It finally hit, she's dealing with depression. But why? Did someone call her fat or something? 
This pisses me off, I'm a pacifist by nature at this point but I'm ready to throw down.

But now that I have a little more clarity on the situation, I sometimes think me. 
See a couple months later I make a new friend. Call this guy... F.

He's tall and actually funny once you get to know him. He's actually still one of my closest friends.

I introduce F to K, they hit it off and eventually start dating. I kind of stop talking to F because he starts dating the girl I'm in love with but that's not important.

what is the fact that a month or two into them dating that K tells me something. Something that spirals me into a deep depression for a long time.

K-"So do you like me?"
Me-"yeah your one of my best friends!"
K-"you know what I mean like LIKE me. Because when I first met you I had feelings for you."

What the actual fuck? She's dating my BEST FUCKING FRIEND and tells me this shit? Not cool man, is this some kind of way to torture me?

Ever since they got together she seemed to be back to normal. So I was happy, but deep down I wished I was him. Comment if you ever felt like this. I would love to talk to someone about it.

Honesty? I felt pathetic, worthless. If I had worked up the courage I would be the one getting kissed. I kept telling myself I wasn't ready. But forget how I felt, lets go back to K.

she had suddenly lost weight. Alot of weight, treated me different.

Is it my fault? Did she think I didn't feel that way because she was slightly over weight? She dropped the weight because of me. That's how I felt but right now, I know that's the case. She didn't really care about me or F all she cared about was herself. Get all the attention she believed she needed. She had Mommy issues. 

Think I'm being harsh? She straight up cheated on F and broke up with him. Then to make matters worse... She ran away for two weeks.

This unfortunate series of events destroyed F, he hated himself. Let's put the kind of man he was into perspective. He didn't take shit from anyone, he liked to laugh and was happy to make others laugh. But when she ran away from home he locked up.

I'm not using names on purpose, because I don't want people who I know to read this and get mad. But I want to tell you this, the human heart is fragile. 

I say this because we laugh about it now. F, I'm glad your alive man.

F was five feet from killing himself. He went home the day he found out and dug out his dads old 45. He was ready to pull that trigger.

F is a strong ass dude, he managed to put the gun down. Put it away, he's only ever told me this. So for the sake of my friendship... Don't read this F. 

Well. That's all for now my friends, I'd tell you more but I think it got a little dark there.

Kind of a set of me talking about... well me and my Boring life as someone who found a way to cope with life by writing

Draco's lips twitched vigorously. He felt like his horizons had been broadened. 
As a Legendary Tradeskill, how could he have been so naive as to expect any other outcome? Even Magical Engineering swallowed Aether Crystals like they were water, much less Scrivening. 
Draco suddenly understood why the lore for Boundless had been structured in the way it was. If players were to play in a world like the old era, there would be little room for growth, because the NPCs would own everything. 
Epic and Legendary Tradeskills required truckloads of Aether Crystals to function, so by establishing the lore as every single Dragon getting slaughtered, it put the world into an Aether Crystal deficiency. 
With this, it didn't even matter if a player was so outstanding that they received an Epic or Legendary Tradeskill as a fair reward, because it would severely limit how much they could benefit from it and thus a proper balance could be kept in this section of the game. 
But how could the AI have predicted that a beast like Draco would exist? Even if it somehow could have accounted for bloodlines before this, what were the chances of a Serpent God Inheritance member possessing the affinity of a genuine dragon? And a Black Dragon, at that?! 
Even that would have been fine because without bloodline compatibility, they couldn't learn Draconic skills or spells before Update 5. However, Draco had gone to spray his DNA over the AI wickedly. 
Not only that, but he had also abused his future knowledge with Eva's help to discover the only remaining White Dragon on the material world, who had an entire global story event revolve around her once players reached the higher Ranks and began to encounter True Gods. 
All of that went down the drain once Hikari was 'captured' by this vile beast, who proceeded to lay his monstrous claws on her fair skin. 
If it was just that, the AI could have swallowed the bitter pill and re-organized the events of the quest. However, the fellow had then built his bloody settlement over the Aether Mine and used it to form his current City-State. 
His claiming of Hikari led her to grant him the Aether Production passive skill, paving the way for Draco's ensuing evil. 
Afterwards through the fellow foolishly underestimating the immensity of the heavens and earth by playing with the Aether Conversion Orb in the Anomaly Realm beneath the Aether Hall, his Aether Production had been upgraded to the Aether Conversion, which was even stronger than what Hikari possessed. 
He had become a factory for Aether Crystals, and just selling a batch he had spawned over the course of slightly more than a week had made instantly turned him into the world's richest man. 
However, there always had to be balance in life. He had gained the Magical Engineering and Scrivener Tradeskills which were huge Aether Crystal sinks... 
This had been designed to act as a limiter on the Tradeskill's productivity in order to prevent the crafters under this category from becoming far too potent, especially on the NPC's side. 
At the end of the day, Boundless was a game for players, so they would be given better treatment and a higher priority. 
Draco sighed and let it go. He had come here to test the validity of the Tradeskill in order to craft some items and get a hand for its procedures. Once he raised its level with his accumulated Tradeskill experience, everything would become better. 
As such, he paid with 1 medium-grade Aether Crystal to have both Sword Skill 1: Inclined Slash and Sword Skill 2: Parry converted. 
A progress bar appeared beneath both Tradeskills, signaling that it would take 3 hours for the conversion of each of them. 
Draco frowned at the long duration, but attributed it to his low Tradeskill Rank. If he went higher, it was likely that he would be able to shorten this process to mere seconds. 
At least for the basic Tradeskills, higher level meant less time and resources, so it should be no different here. 
In the meantime, he rested his tired mind by mediating in the silent library. He felt his lapsing concentration solidify and his headache begin to diminish slowly. 
The other Tradeskill masters occasionally glanced at their lord who had been silent ever since he entered, with his eyes dazing into the air. They wondered what was going on with the fellow. 
Not only that, but he suddenly began rubbing his temples and whispering expletives under his breath. Such a thing would be inaudible usually, but in this silent atmosphere, he might as well have been yelling. 
Many of them felt their faces redden, because some of the combos Draco used were truly too amazing. They, who were 'intellectuals' who would never reduce themselves to uttering such profanities were naturally exposed to the dark side of the world. 
Many of them were awed. One could actually put such vulgar words together to achieve such a critical hit? Wow! I must try this on that enemy of mine… 
Caff! 
Of course, this was just a passing thought, it wasn't like we would do such things in reality, hahaha! 
After the two techniques were converted, Draco's mind had recovered by 90%. This had taken 6 hours, meaning that the day was almost over. 
However, he wasn't bothered. By spending such a great amount of effort recording his first 100 techniques, he could slowly convert them over time. 
That was another thing, the conversion timer. As Scrivening didn't require one to be at a set location, he could easily pay for the conversion anywhere and have it work in the background. 
So, he could fight, explore or craft while the conversion was going on, maximizing his efficiency. He had chosen to meditate because his splitting headache prevented him from doing anything else. 
However, it had largely recovered now, so he had no problem. As such, he decided to continue the process of Scrivening and learn what its end result was like. 
First, he checked the converted techniques, and saw that they were presented like a skill book in his mind, with their details highlighted. 
 
｢Sword Skill 1: Inclined Slash – Active Skill 
Rank: Common 
Effect: Swing one's sword in a 45° angle to inflict severe lacerations. Deals 20% sword damage on contact. 
Cooldown: 5 seconds.｣ 
 
｢Sword Skill 2: Parry – Active Skill 
Rank: Common 
Effect: Enter a defensive stance that parries a single attack from an enemy wielding a similar weapon. 
Note: This only negates damage, but not the physical force of the attack. 
Cooldown: 10 seconds.｣ 
 
Draco was extremely impressed with his sword skills. They were the first ones he had created, a basic offensive slash and a defensive posture to resist one attack, but they had been further amplified by the conversion. 
20% sword damage on the first one was almost on the level of an Uncommon skill. Not only that, but the cooldown was great, only 5 seconds! 
An average swordsman with this skill would really be crucial in a raid. He could deal 20% of his sword damage every 5 seconds. This was almost as good as the Common Rank Fireball spell which dealt 15% fire damage every 7 seconds. 
If it wasn't for the Sword Skill requiring one to be within arm's length from the enemy, it would be even better than a similarly ranked magic spell! 
As for the second one, it was even better than the previous one because it negated physical damage from one attack every 10 seconds. 
Of course, the attack had to originate from a sword, and even then, it only negated the damage, but did not removed the physical force of the attack. 
Still though, it was an extremely good skill for PvP fights between swordsmen. The one who had this skill would easily wipe the floor with another. 
Draco nodded with satisfaction. Both skills could be used by many players and NPCs of the world, meaning that it would have a great selling value. 
Paying 50 Low-Grade Aether Crystals was equivalent to 50,000 platinum, but if this skill was mass produced and sold, one should easily be able to recoup costs... eventually. 
After all, the AI would have to be very foolish to create a Tradeskill where unless one had many cheats like Draco, it was impossible to profit off it. 
If that was the case, why not just slap "for Draco's use only" on the Tradeskills and let matters rest? 
Draco went to the third screen, which was to pen the skillbook itself. Here, the options were to prepare the ink, prepare the paper and then Scriven. 
Draco selected to prepare the ink, and found that a new pop-up appeared, asking him the Rank of the skill he was choosing to pen. 
He chose the Common Rank, and then a list of materials was shown to him. Aside from that was a detailed process of how to prepare the ink itself. 
When Draco saw the materials, he slapped his forehead. Most of them were Common Rank materials that could easily be acquired. In fact, many of them were already present in the Rank 7 Castle. 
He understood everything now. To make a skillbook at a certain Rank obviously required materials of a similar Rank. How could he use Legendary materials to make a Common product? 
Of course, this logic only applied to writing Tradeskills. Engineering was a Tradeskill were one could make even a Common Rank war weapon with Epic materials, much less Magical Engineering. 
However, it was the end result that mattered. A creation from something like Magical Engineering could warp reality itself, and also could be used by multiple parties. 
Skillbooks could only be consumed once and then they were gone for good. Basically, it was like comparing a printing press and a car manufacturer. Which one cost more to make, a newspaper or a car? At the same time, which one sold for more, a newspaper or a car? 
Draco nodded and called over Darnia again. The pretty, yet young Head Maid entered the room of solemnity, attracting the various gazes of the fellows working here. 
After a long day of work, getting to gaze upon a beautiful woman was truly a pleasing sight, so they took this chance to take a break. 
Naturally, the old woman who managed the library harrumphed unhappily and looked away. When she had been at that age, she was 'naturally' an empire toppling beauty herself, but time was merciless. 
After receiving Draco's orders, Darnia went to collect the necessary items posthaste. In almost no time, she went down to the storerooms and collected some lamp black, honey, some gum arabic as well as supporting materials. 
Draco thanked Darnia and selected to begin crafting the ink. The process was not too complex at all. Since he was making simple black permanent ink, it was simple for the early stage. 
First, he mixed together the egg yolk, gum arabic, and honey. The end result was a strange smelling and yellowish-brown liquid that was extremely viscous. 
Honestly, it looked like someone's diseased phlegm, but Draco didn't want to think about it too much. He made sure to slowly stir in the lamp black, adding it to the yellowish-brown mix. 
Suddenly, the color became pitch-black and the funny smell changed. Now, it stank like good old ink, a very familiar smell that anyone who had gone to school would know with ease. 
The final product was a thick paste that could be stored in a sealed container. However, it wasn't usable yet, because there were some extra steps that needed to be taken. 
Draco took the shavings of a low-grade Aether Crystal and mixed it with the paste, which made its black color glow with a certain magical shine. 
Now, he had the necessary ink to write skills and spells! 
He quickly stored it in a metallic container. Since he planned to make a single book, he had only made two servings of the ink, meaning he would have to make more later. 
Draco inspected his creation. 
 
｢Special Ink – Material 
Rank: Common 
Use: Scrivening｣ 
 
He nodded his head with satisfaction. He would work on the paper next, as he would need to bind it into a book form in order to function properly. 
As for the paper, the process was even simpler than the ink. All he needed was some common rolls of papyrus that hadn't been treated yet. 
He then unrolled and cut rectangular segments to form sheets. Draco used his subjective magic to form a miniscule wind blade that vibrated at a high frequency, so it acted like a razor. 
It was attached to the tip of his index finger and was about the length of his fingernail. With his mechanical accuracy from Control's Body of Godliness, as well as his Void of Perfection's ability to perfectly measure everything within its domain, his incisions were no different from modern day machines. 
He cut out 20 pages of paper, since that was the limit for Common Rank skillbooks. It didn't matter whether it was word or picture heavy, 20 pages was the maximum one could have. 
Draco then used some more Aether Crystal shavings to treat the pages, though he melted these shavings into a syrupy form before applying them. 
After that, the paper glowed with a healthy color, like it had been infused with the breath of life. He then bound them together using some string made from a Rank 3 monster called the Ferrous Spinner, which was a spider that made metallic webs with high tensile strength. 
Next, he used some sturdy, yet soft cardboard to form the cover, sticking the pages to its spine with a supporting material called Gerald's Glue, which seemed to be a material created by a fellow called… Gerald. 
Anyway, it was quite useful as it had the best adhesion available in this world for a simple product, and Draco was able to tie off the process with its help. 
He then painted the cover and spine with a light brown color, adding in some aesthetic designs he liked. Naturally, he repeated this process for the second book, right down to the very same colors and ridges. 
After both were done, he then moved onto the Scrivening process. Funny enough, this one wasn't as hard as he thought. 
He just had to follow some "on-screen" prompts. Basically, just like with the Personal Workstation, he entered an Augmented Reality situation where he was given a 3D guide to follow in writing the book. 
With his very same mechanical accuracy, this was a cinch. Within no time, he had filled the book with all the necessary details of the skill, it even needed some diagrams to be drawn in it, amusing Draco to no end. 
After this, the ambient Worldly Energy was dragged into the book in torrents, creating a small tornado in the room. All the other Tradeskill masters were stunned out of their minds when they encountered this. 
Just now everything had been peaceful, how did things become so chaotic in just a few seconds?! 
Many could only scream or cry when their hard work over the day was pulled into the whirlwind and destroyed. The fortunate ones had just started today while others had been working on this for a month. 
When the torrent subsided, Draco gazed at the book with a smile. It looked no different from a typical skillbook, and his inspection proved that. 
 
｢Sword Skill 1: Inclined Slash – Active Skill 
Rank: Common 
Effect: Swing one's sword in a 45° angle to inflict severe lacerations. Deals 22% sword damage on contact. 
Cooldown: 4 seconds.｣ 
 
Draco looked at the other Tradeskill masters and shook his hands. "Report your losses to Darnia and I shall reimburse you all. I also apologize for any damages or losses incurred." 
His words mollified them greatly. Most would ignore them and leave them to sort themselves out heartlessly, but at least he had apologized and promised to reimburse them. 
While it couldn't recover the precious time and effort that had gone to waste, it was better than being ignored completely. 
"I'd advise you leave the area, as I have one more product to make." Draco warned with a light smile. 
Hearing this, his audience fled the library as if there was a fire on their bottoms. Once bitten, twice shy! After being victims of their Lord's "work", they were now fearful of his presence. 
Draco only smiled before Scrivening the details for the second sword skill in his repertoire. After he was done, another mini-tornado spawned in the library, which made the old woman pound her chest in pain. 
Many of the books here had been ravaged by this beast who called himself 'Lord', yet he didn't even have the guts to look her in the eye so that she could glare at him with hate! 
Of course, Draco wouldn't dare to look at her. After almost destroying the library, how could he have the face to gaze at the librarian? Even Qiong Qi would quietly leave with his tail tucked in. 
 
｢Sword Skill 2: Parry – Active Skill 
Rank: Common 
Effect: Enter a defensive stance that parries a single attack from an enemy wielding a similar weapon. 
Note: This only negates damage, but not the physical force of the attack. 
Cooldown: 8 seconds.｣ 
 
Thanks to the Legendary tools he used in penning the skillbooks, both of them were slightly stronger than they were assessed to be, and he hadn't even activated the enhancement feature yet! 
Draco sighed and took both books into his inventory before blinking away to his personal room. He dared not walk around too much in case the old woman attacked him with her slipper. 
It was a good thing too, as a hate filled scream echoed out in the library as soon as he left. 
Draco returned to his room to see that both Eva and Hikari were waiting for him. After going through their usual routine, they returned to share updates on the progress of the city as well as Roma and Zaine's pregnancies. 
After that, Hikari stated that she was ready for yet another egg, but Draco gave some excuses about having a headache and pretended to quickly fall asleep. 


Draco had risen to the top of the world through his exploits in the legendary FIVR game, Boundless. 

After years of intense conflicts between his guild, Hellscape and the guild of his former infidel lover, Darkrow, things came to a head when Draco conquered all. 

Now, nothing stood in his way of total conquest within the highly acclaimed second world of mankind, as he intended to fortify his new empire.
 
Unfortunately, a timely assassination sent him back into the wheel of time for reincarnation, but not even the Gods gave him peace of death. 

Thrust into the past, Draco realized he'd been given a second chance at life to start from scratch, with all the knowledge of over fifteen years of almost absolute power in Boundless.

Now, his path to glory will be far shorter and filled with more bloodshed than Hades could handle.

WARNING: If you're the type to be triggered easily, please do not read.

The language learning course which tested the ability of the students' minds to read, and comprehend a certain text, acknowledged the variety of literary pieces across the world, expressed one's sentiments, and viewpoints through creative writing, and gave up a speech to the public with a required self-confidence and charisma had conquered the class of Yeats.

"English Time!" a classmate exclaimed.

"Ugh. Why on earth..." Noah said, lying her head onto the armrest.

The teacher had arrived with her male student who assisted her to carry on her stationery materials and left afterwards. 

She expressed her warmest greeting to the class, "Good morning, everyone."

"Gooood Morningggg, Ma'am Rhea," the entire students responded in dullness, deliberately prolonging the words.

"Again, good morning, Yeats."

"Good Morning, Ma'am Rhea! We are happy to see you today!"

The teacher nodded, and commanded them, "Okay, you may now take your seats."

"So Yeats, in this period, we would be having an activity, and I'm sure you would definitely love to hate this one."

The students plastered a counterfeit grin on their faces as they listened to their teacher's introduction. It looked as if their incoming task would be an "easy yet a lazy job" for them.

"You will be composing an original poetry! Isn't beautiful? A form of art of regurgitating all your personal experiences, feelings, aspirations, and showing off your ideals and visions of the world around us by using a piece of paper and a pen. What lies ahead of our future? Who shall be the one to pass this on for the next generation. It's only you, the young ones. As our beloved national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal quoted, 'The youth is the hope of our nation'," Ma'am Rhea Azuela dramatically spoke, and her fists were firmly closed.

Everyone groaned with the exemption of Ma'am Rhea whose energy was trying hard to somehow radiate the entire classroom.

"Hmm... Okay, you only have two options: To create or not to create. My role as a teacher is simply taking down of your grades and morals in your report card. If you want a failing grade, why not? I'll give it to you. Other than that, what does youth always say? You only live once, eh? So, I won't stop you from not submitting your requirement," Ma'am Rhea shrugged.

"Anyways, for those who wished to conform to the task, listen up. Before you start writing, I would love to give a bit of a background about our today's lesson. I'm sure most of you familiar with them. We've known different lyrical poems, epic poems and etcetera. Now, I'll ask you. What is haiku? Anyone?"

"Just give me a gist of it."

Students were staring at each other's eyes, and no one dared to speak. Few were looking at the white board. Most were avoiding an eye contact from their instructor. Some of them were gaping at the outside of the room. Ma'am Rhea whined and continued.

"Guys, you have to talk. Remember, this is an English class. You have to hone your communication skills. How are you going supposed to learn if you don't utilize your mouths? Ha? Come on. No answers are wrong in language. It's more on thoughts and ideas that we should express. You should be engaging more on interaction. And pretty please, let's help each other out. Don't leave me hanging guys, Okay?"

"Now, any thoughts from this group?" she asked, looking at the first row. Ma'am Rhea was about to choose her lucky victim when one of her students raised her right hand, "Ma'am."

"Yes, Miss? What do you think? What is haiku?"

"May I go to the comfort room?" the wench replied.

Some of the senior high students were retaining their soon-to-be-bursted laughter. Ma'am Rhea sighed, and said, "Yes, you may."

The young lass stood up straight, and said, "But, If I am not mistaken, haiku refers to a five-seven-five syllable count in a one three-phrase stanza. It is also originated in Japan."

"Again, thank you for your permission, Ma'am."

The schoolgirl went to the school comfort room, leaving the entire class in amusement. Ma'am Rhea snapped her fingers to get back her little ones' focus.

"That's my girl! She got it right. Finally, someone saved you from danger, eh?" the teacher cunningly grinned, and the student were then relieved. 

"And since this is a surprise activity, you need not to compose a haiku. Still, it is included in your quarterly exams. Instead, I challenge you to write a poem. Freestyle. Whether you want to have your piece that consists of a rhyme, or a regular meter. It's up to you. Make sure it has three stanzas. Do you understand me, Yeats?"

Dassah lifted up her hand up, and called, "Ma'am."

"Yes, Miss Dassah?"

"What would the topic be about?" the student asked.

"Hmm... Good question," Ma'am Rhea nodded, and began considering a great theme for her class's written poetry. Suddenly, a brilliant idea popped up. She smiled and responded to her student.

"It should be based on your personal experience. For example, your bonding with your family and friends. Maybe you want to write about your life as a student, and whatsoever. The sky's the limit."

"So, any questions?"

The class replied, "None."

"Okay. You may now start. And please let me check your composition before the bell rings whether it is done or not. I'll give a plus point and a secret award for those who could create a finished piece," Ma'am Rhea announced, and sat down on her chair to relax her voluptuous legs.

"Ma'am, what is the reward?" one man asked.

"It won't be confidential anymore, if I'll tell you, mister," she said.

The students proceeded writing on their mandatory art work. Creative juices were flooding up inside of their right brains. Tearing papers were echoing everywhere in the section. Loud mental groans from every school teens dominated in the class. Frustration mixed with determination to make a possible masterpiece were obviously transparent on their hopeless faces. Dassah who eventually ended her write-up stood up from her armchair, and submitted it to her English teacher. 

Ma'am Rhea was impressed, and took her ample time to read her three-stanza poem. As she perused Dassah's work, she smiled in delight.

"Miss Quinn."

"Yes, Ma'am?"

"I have a dumb question," the instructor said. She glanced at her unknowing student in mischief, and continued her talk.

" Are you in love?"

"NO WAY, MA'AM," Dassah yelled at her teacher. Her classmates instantly shifted their gaze at the two. She became flustered, and softly spoke, "Umm... Sorry, ma'am. I was just shocked. But, no, I am not, ma'am."

"And what makes you think that I'm uh..."

Ma'am Rhea replied, still smiling, "In love?"

Dassah slowly nodded in embarrassment,"Uh-huh."

"It's just my assumption. It seems the message of your poem conveys about a clichè romance like this love at first sight kind of scene. Ah. Reminds me of my first young love,"  Ma'am Rhea Azuela said, feeling the nostalgia of her past teen era.

"And, what's even more interesting is that I instructed you to have a poem that talks about your life encounters." Dassah's teacher continued.

"Then, I thought I might be wrong, so which is why I asked you."

Dassah again nodded as an abiding servant, and the English teacher spoke again herself, "So, mind if I ask you the story behind this piece of yours?"

"Um... Sure, Ma'am. But, it already says it all," Dassah said.

"It's basically this. I met a guy at a convenience store, and I did not forsee anything that we would see each other for the second time around. And for me, I was happy it happened for the both of us."

Ma'am Rhea could no longer hide her squeals, and let it out without any reservation.

"Oh, ignore my giggles. The story was too cute. But hey, Miss Quinn. This is your prize," she commented, and gestured her to move closer. Dassah came near to her instructor in obedience.

"You'll present it to the other class."

"Ma'am?!" Dassah exclaimed in terror.

"Shh... Don't tell anyone," she warned the young lady.

"But, but..."

Ma'am Rhea smiled, and said, "You may go back to your seat, Miss Quinn."

Dassah heaved a sigh of defeat, and move herself back to her armchair.  Floating her countless regrets of submitting her poem, the young lady had enough of the trap, and let the situation sail by itself.

Dassah Quinn had left no choice but to stay with a perfect stranger. Yearning for someone who would help them get out of trouble and leave the olden storage room is her gleam of hope. 

In the course of incarceration, Dassah unexpectedly entailed herself in a scheme of discerning the nondescript man, One One.
