After Deku left, I went to shower. The hot water was streaming over my back and I hissed when it reached the three large cuts on my back. I had Hero training in two days and wondered how to hide them from the others when we were changing. Then my thoughts wandered to Deku.

"You haven't changed at all in that matter. You haven't matured. You'd still recklessly hurt someone's feeling."

He was wrong. I had never told someone to kill themselves afterwards again. It was no longer fun to me to break people. I didn't even understand anymore why I thought it was fun in the first place. Not after Deku vanished and people deemed him dead.

Yeah, I was still crude, taunting and shit like that, but it was part of my fucking personality. And people around me knew I was simply explosive. I wouldn't actually want to kill someone, no matter how often I said so. I cared about some people and I genuinely wanted to become a Hero and beat villains' asses.

I wanted Deku to see that for himself. I wanted him to know I was fucking better than my old self now. And maybe he'd turn back to before just a little. To happy, optimistic and friendly. I couldn't fucking undo the damage I had done, but maybe I could try to fix it a bit. And if not…

No, I fucking would. Heroes didn't fucking give up. Even if I had to yell that damn motto, "Plus Ultra", out loud, I wouldn't give up, dammit! No matter how much damn pain and endurance it would take, I would get Deku out of the ditch I left him in. And that's a fucking promise.

When I woke up the next morning, I had overslept. I quickly got ready, rushed to school and came into the classroom two minutes after the bell. Aizawa-sensei had the unbearable urge to inform me about my tardiness. "You're late, Bakugou." "Yeah, I fucking know that. Sorry." I dropped onto my chair and saw all of my classmates staring at me. "Stare at something else, you dumbfucks!" My teacher sighed. "Language, Bakugou. Now let's start class."

Discount Pikachu and shitty hair immediately came up to me at lunch, while I was still gathering my stuff. Discount Pikachu spoke up first. "Hey, you okay Bakugou? You look like shit." I scowled. "Why fucking thanks. Better than looking like you fucker." Shitty hair exchanged a glance with the charger, then he came a bit closer. "We're serious, Bakubro. You're somewhere else with your thoughts all the time, and you seem… Somehow beat up."  

I hissed. "I'm fucking fine and now scram. You're annoying the hell out of me." Charger lifted his eyebrows. "Are you not coming to lunch with us?" I shook my head. "No. I'm fucking tired and I don't need any damn human interaction." I had had a hard time sleeping yesterday, because my back hurt like hell, which was probably the reason I had overslept.

Dunce face shrugged and left the classroom, while shitty hair gave me another concerned look. When I raised my brow at him, he left aswell. I wanted to be alone, because I needed time to think without a chance of a random sociopath strolling into my house.

While I thought about tactics to get Deku a little saner, I had undeliberately begun to draw something on a piece of paper on my desk. Another line and another line, dots and curved lines… Suddenly I noticed what I had been drawing. It was a sketch of Deku. The old one, judging by the wide smile and the freckles I had drawn.

I flicked my tongue, stood up, threw the drawing away and went to the bathroom. When I passed by one of the bathroom mirrors, I noticed I actually looked like shit. I was pale, had dark eyebags and my hair was messier and less spiky than usual. If that damn nerd kept me up until midnight again, I would fucking murder him without remorse. Would solve a couple of my problems at once.

------- 3rd person POV -------

Kirishima came back from lunch, and noticed Bakugou throwing a piece of paper in the garbage can and leaving the classroom. The redhead had wondered what was up with his best friend for a few days, so he got curious and got the paper out of the trash again. He unfolded it and saw a rough drawing of a boy with curly hair, freckles and a wide, happy smile.

"Why are you picking up trash?" Kirishima's friend Kaminari showed up behind him and stared at the drawing. "Who's that?" "I don't know. Bakugou drew it and threw it away, but I feel like I've seen the guy on it somewhere before." Kirishima stated and Kaminari nodded. "Me too. I didn't know Bakugou was gay, though."

Kirishima gave his blonde friend a questioning look. "Gay? How did you jump to that conclusion?" The blonde grinned at him. "It's obvious! Bakugou behaves weirdly and draws some random guy. He just has to have a crush on that boy!" Kirishima laughed and discarded the paper again. "You and your stupid ideas!" But he knew Kaminari might have had a point.

"Something's off with Bakugou…"

After vanishing for a few years, Katsuki Bakugous childhood friend Izuku Midoriya shows up again. Rather changed and out for vengeance. In order to fix what he had broken, Bakugou makes a deal with Midoriya- which turns out to be more than a simple deal.

Yuan Xinyi came from an ordinary family, but because of her grandmother's illness, she needed a lot of money to pay for her medical expenses. She had just graduated from university and had not found a good job, so she came to apply for a job as a waitress. If it were not for the high salary here.. She would not have come either. Compared to an ordinary restaurant, this place was at least 3,000 more.
She was jealous of those girls. They did nothing but enjoy the glory.
She was also jealous just now, which was why she acted impulsively.
She still needed this job. That was why she lowered her voice. This was only temporary.
After the few of them had their meal, Qian Shuishui decided, "it just so happens that I'm in the limelight during this period of time. I'll directly go public with my real estate company. Since that's the case, I also want to get involved in this mess. "
This was a huge risk, but she was not afraid.
"No way? Your Small Company is going public now? Moreover, isn't it a competitive relationship with your father? " Mu Zilin was speechless. What was Shui Shui Shui Up to now He was even clearer about the real estate than his own brother.
"Our company's construction format and all the safety systems. I am confident that it is a little better than other companies, and the price is not higher than theirs. In comparison, our company is the first choice. We mainly do circuit safety design and garden structure design. It is not considered a complete real estate. It is just an idea of mine. "When you choose the first set, I will give you a discount. " Qian Shuishui looked at Mu Zilin with a smile.
Mu Zilin shook his head, "how can I afford it? But I remember that my dad said that he would buy me a set, for me. I'll discuss it with my dad then you can take it to see the house and introduce it to him. "
"Of course. This place costs a lot of effort. " She had basically invested all her money into it, just waiting for it to be sold. At the beginning, she would ask the elders around her if they had any needs, a total of 50 sets.
Uncle Jiang wanted a set because he liked the environment and design there. Moreover, Jiang Li was going to school now, so there were only twins left at home. They were still young.
"I know. The hard-earned money is all in there. But, you are also amazing to be able to make so much money. " He was also impressed by Qian Shuishui. Moreover, those circuits were designed by her herself. Even the professor praised them and wanted to study them.
Ma Chengcheng reached out her hand, "well, my parents are coming over in a few days. Actually, they also want to buy an apartment in Beijing. Can you bring us to take a look? "
"Sure, I'll give you a discount as well. Shanhe Ridge will be open for sale next week. This week, I will only bring my friends, relatives and elders to see it. "I only pulled out seven sets. The number isn't much. After all, I still have to consider the future development of the company. " One set was about 20 million yuan There were a few small-scale households, but they also cost about 16 million yuan. Because it was in the suburbs, it was cheaper than in the city. However, according to the environment, it wouldn't be much cheaper.
Elder Li and elder Hu were very supportive. They directly set the price and didn't intend to see it. The two elders didn't want a discount and directly asked for the original price. It could be considered as a show of support for their disciple. Moreover, it wasn't bad to find a quiet place to retire.
After the agreement was made, Ma Chengcheng's parents arrived two days later. Ma Chengcheng didn't waste any time and made an early appointment with Qian Shuishui. Qian Shuishui then drove over to pick up Ma Chengcheng and her parents. When she saw Ma Chengcheng's parents dressed in branded clothes, they looked.. They were the more expensive ones. "Hello, aunty and uncle. "
"Hello, Shui Shui. We've heard about you from Chengcheng. You're so young and you're already starting your own business. Look at Chengcheng, you don't know anything. " The Rich Lady looked at her daughter and was a little dissatisfied. She didn't even look at how young she was She already had the ability to compare people. It was infuriating.
"Hehe, actually, Cheng Cheng is not bad. She's starting a small business now. Take it slow. We're all starting out. " Qian Shuishui didn't think that Ma Chengcheng was bad. After all, everyone had their own path.
Ma Chengcheng's parents thought highly of Qian Shuishui. They were helpless against their daughter's disappointing performance.
Ma Chengcheng was also shot while lying on the ground. "Dad, mom, we're going to take a look first anyway. Moreover, Shui Shui designed the place over there. The price is the best for me. Let's take a look first. What's there to compare? Shui Shui has always been very good. "
"Then why don't you learn from her? " Her mother scolded her daughter.
Ma Chengcheng said in a fit of anger, "Hmph, are you blaming me? "
When they arrived at the mountain and River Ridge, the entrance was a very regular security booth, and there were already people standing guard. The surroundings were all tall fruit trees. Although the snow and frost fell on them, they gave people a very neat and heroic feeling.
They drove into the mountain and River Ridge. The road was spacious and clean, and there were plenty of cameras. There were also large mirrors at the corners. They also planned out the roads for people to walk on in order to avoid some safety problems on the road.
There was also a place in the middle where people could exercise. The car drove over and stopped at a villa.
"there are only these two buildings. Take a look. This place belongs to the inside. It's quieter and it's cooler in summer, " Qian Shuishui introduced.
She brought Ma Chengcheng and her parents in. "This is number 39. The three floors of the interior are 233 square meters. There's a parking space. "
"Wow, it's so natural. " Ma Chengcheng's mother immediately liked this place. Moreover, there was a small pond. It was really suitable for retirement.
"The surrounding fences are made of structures that are not easy to climb, and there is a layer of small electrical wires on top. If you violate the alarm, electricity will automatically be generated, and the alarm will automatically sound. "Look around, there are cameras. The Management Office will have special people watching. " This was a safety facility.
Then, Shui Shui pointed at the hillside behind them. "It's also very difficult for people to walk on the hillside here. We've tested it, and there's basically no way. "
"Then what's the difference between the other one and this one? " Ma Chengcheng's father asked.
"The other one is small. It's about 200 square meters and has a parking space. The location is also quiet, but the size is a problem. However, the small one doesn't have such a big yard. " She took them to the next room to take a look.
"The small ones are all well-decorated. There are only five small villas. The styles are divided into two types. One is retro style, and the other is modern and fashionable style. It's also suitable for a small family to live in. It's relatively warm. " She opened the door of villa number 37 and walked in.
Ma Chengcheng's mother pointed at this place. "Let's do it here. I prefer the small-sized ones. Although the large ones are big, there are only a few people in our family. We don't go with our parents-in-law. "
She looked around. "It's really retro, but it doesn't make it inconvenient. "
Ma Chengcheng also liked this set. "Shui Shui, this design is not bad. "
"It combines many styles, but many people will like retro-style decoration. " Qian Shuishui smiled. She was very happy to see that someone liked it.


She was a combination of a high iq scholar and a black-bellied prince charming. She was a one-on-one, two-on-one, two-on-one, absolutely refreshing, and she was welcome to jump into the pit.
She was a young and famous physicist from a future world.
He was the eldest son of a modern wealthy family.
When she was in a plane crash and became a modern-day second-generation girl, she was proficient in drinking. She was also ranked last in her studies. At home, her elder sister did not love her, her younger brother hated her, and her parents did not care.
In the circle of Friends of the rich second generation, they also looked down on this idiot.
He was noble and elegant, the idol of all women.
It was said that Qian Shuishui was a bad student, and her mind was empty every day.
It was said that Qian Shuishui was a bad girl, playing with boys'emotions
It was said that Qian Shuishui was a bad girl, and she was good at eating, drinking, and playing.
Then please tell me, who is this woman in front of me, leisurely drinking coffee, and reading the physics report in a foreign language with great interest?

When Lin Sanjiu spun around and jumped back to face the intruder, she showed some hint of a feline's agility and precision.
As she tightened her jaw, she glared straight at the intruder with her large amber eyes.
From a glance, Lin Sanjiu could see that the intruder wasn't a resident of Red Nautilus.
The residents from Red Nautilus had a very particular vibe that made them stand out. Since they dwelled in a highly developed city, their horizon was broader. They were very friendly, and their outfits were so bizarre that the word odd was a modest description to represent their daily costume. However, due to several reasons, such as fluctuation and unstable supply of resources, problems faced when applying for visas, and tyranny dictatorship, most—if not all—of the residents of Red Nautilus were relatively sensitive, and they always had the anxious expression on their face. 
The intruder that stood in front of her, however, didn't have any of those characteristics, and instead, he seemed to be pretty lax.
He was wearing a plain colored, not-so-clean trench coat that covered him like an enlarged bamboo hat from his neck to his ankles, leaving only a pair of black canvas shoes exposed to the air. His skin was fair. He had a pair of bright red lips, two distinct brows, and two bright beady eyes. There were a few veins that bulged from the back of his palm, and when he tilted his head, his bob-cut style hair cascaded down, making it even more difficult to distinguish his true gender. 
From a first glance, this young lad had a typical look. The only thing that wasn't normal was his two pointy, elf-like ears. That particular detail stood out and confirmed Lin Sanjiu's conjecture that, like her, he had also been altered after going through the distorting mirror. 
Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell whether or not he came into this pocket dimension via Red Nautilus, or if he came from another apocalyptic world. She had never heard anyone mentioning this person to her before. The thing that worried her the most was that she couldn't gauge his combat capabilities.
He wasn't a gloomy, deep person like Puppeteer, nor he was a rough, brilliant person like Hei Zeji; he was normal. Like a pool of clean water without any impurities, nobody was able to discern any useful information about him.
He didn't falter in the slightest even though a fierce woman was staring at him and managed to hold his sloven demeanor and a warm smile on his face. When he talked, his voice was very soothing to the ear and somehow effeminate, "Oh, I'm sorry did I scare you? Don't worry; I'm just passing by."
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the mirror behind Lin Sanjiu, seemingly giving Lin Sanjiu a hint that he was going through the mirror and that she was blocking his path.
"Should I ask him for some information?"
Biting her lower lip, Lin Sanjiu didn't make any sound. After having a good time of tousling with herself in her mind, she moved aside.
Perhaps she was just paranoid, but her gut feeling told her that if there was a person she should never pry for more information, that person had to be the young lad in front of her.
Right now, the mirror was very near to Lin Sanjiu. If the intruder was somebody with trust issues, he might have asked her to move away a little bit more, but the young lad wasn't. With a bright, beaming smile, he nodded politely to Lin Sanjiu and walked toward the mirror, confidently.
This was the kind of confidence that flowed naturally from a perennial winner.
"He must be pretty full of himself," thought Lin Sanjiu.
In the mirror, a portly version of that young lad walked in the opposite direction toward him. Very soon, they met each other.
The room inside the mirror chamber wasn't large. When the young lad passed by Lin Sanjiu, he stopped, turning his head to face Lin Sanjiu and said, "Since destiny has brought us together, why don't we do fate a favor and exchange names? I'm Ji Shanqing, and you?"
It was the kind of normal request that nobody would say no to. After pondering for a while in her heart, she then replied, "I'm Lin San—"
Much to her surprise, she couldn't utter the word "Jiu," from her mouth regardless of how hard she tried. The word just stuck in her throat refused to come out as if something bad would happen if the word ever slipped from her lips. The young lad was a bit blown away. Apparently, he couldn't understand why a girl like her would take on a name like "Lin San." Despite that, he maintained his civility and responded, nodding in the process, "Well, nice to meet you. And, good luck!"
Then, Ji Shanqing touched the mirror and vanished.
"Oh, he's gone."
"You're Lin San?" Mrs. Manas popped out as soon as the young lad disappeared into the mirror, "May I ask when Miss Lin San changed her name?"
"Oh please," Lin Sanjiu was caught in between laughter and tears, "Do you still remember the [Scrooge McDuck Power]? Anyway, I haven't the faintest idea how it happened, but the word "exchange" seems to have triggered the effect 1, the one about I'll be getting a discount on any trade. Thanks to the effect, I couldn't even spell out my name completely. What a joke."
Mrs. Manas couldn't hold herself and burst into a peal of laughter. She even choked on her saliva—as if she really had some—and coughed twice.
"Judging from how happy you are," Lin Sanjiu let out a breath, "I can assume that the experiment went pretty well?"
"Well, I won't say it's bad, but the result is favorable to us." Mrs. Manas calmed herself down and moved on, "I didn't expect it to be so successful on our first trial, to be frank. Anyway, the whole process of atomization has been successfully recorded."
"So what should I do next?"
"Nothing; you don't have to do anything at this moment," said Mrs. Manas confidently, "Right now, let me analyze the data. I'll extract the changes and process of the atomization and reconstruction processes. Next, you may use your consciousness to stimulate the process. Of course, you can't stimulate the atomization process, but I think it's enough if you at least could learn how to control the mutation caused by the "Neuhume" genome."
"Okey-dokey," replied Lin Sanjiu halfheartedly since the task wasn't truly tough, and she was quite confident with herself in controlling the "Neuhume" genome.
As if she'd sensed a change of attitude in Lin Sanjiu, Mrs. Manas continued, with a stern tone, "But first, you have to put away your skeletal wings. The mirror chamber is too small for them, and we'll be in trouble if they accidentally crush any mirrors here," She wasn't happy with her, so she tried to talk even more seriously to knock the thing into Lin Sanjiu's head, "I believe that at this point you should see the light why Horse-Face wanted you to break the mirror, no? Try to think about it; each of these mirrors is a particle reconfiguration transmitter, and they can be activated simply by touching them. This means that if you want to break them, you have to touch them, so here comes the question: What would happen to you when the atomization took place as the mirror shattered into pieces? Have you ever consider your chance of surviving? Even if, for God's sake, you have survived the atomization process, what would you be at that time? Would you be still considered a human?" 
Lin Sanjiu folded her wings even tighter after listening to what Mrs. Manas had said.
When Lin Sanjiu finally realized that a mirror controlled her fate of staying a human or turning into meat pulp, all her hair stood on end.
"Better that Horse-Face prays to God that he will not meet me again," Lin Sanjiu cussed under her breath, "Otherwise, I swear the next time I see him, I'll crush him through the mirror."
Back to the story, aside from putting her wings away, she still had to look for the mirror chamber that holds the grand prize.
She was clueless as to where to find the grand prize, and all she knew was that the grand prize resided in one of the mirror chambers. If she continued to roam through the mirror chamber without proper planning, she thought after a year; she might still be here, running like a headless chicken locating the grand prize.
"I can't employ the [Higher-Consciousness Mimicry] now, can I?" Lin Sanjiu asked. Although she knew full well that it was impossible, in her heart, she was hoping for a green light from Mrs. Manas.
"Are you kidding? Of course, you can't! After one time mimicking Nüwa, your consciousness and vitality are dropped to zero. Put aside other things, what would you do if you were in your weakest state and something bad happened? So, no. Never you think about it." Mrs. Manas refuted. 
"Guess I have to depend on my pathetic tiny brain to think of a way, then." Lin Sanjiu sighed as her eyes swept across her surroundings.
Similar to the previous three mirror chambers, she couldn't tell the exact shape of this particular mirror chamber. Aside from the three mirrors overhead and the two under her feet, there were sixteen other mirrors that formed the walls. 
When she first time came across the diamond building, she found that the building wasn't quite a perfectly crafted diamond. Rather, it was more like a zagged, shapeless, and twisted ball. 
"So I can assume that the mirror chambers inside the building were built according to the irregular ball?" Her brows knitted together tightly as she seemed to have caught something useful.
She lifted her eyes and studied the mirror which Ji Shanqing used to leave just now.
The young lad pointed to the mirror behind Lin Sanjiu the second he arrived in this mirror chamber, and he hadn't in the least considered going through any of the other mirrors. Wasn't that just weird? With the knowledge that you would turn into what you had gone through, a healthy man would've thought twice before choosing the one he favored the most, right?
Not to mention that somebody was standing in his way to the mirror he had chosen. However, Ji Shanqing did the unthinkable; he didn't change to another mirror and instead braved through the possibility of getting into a fight by asking Lin Sanjiu to move aside.
Why would he go as far as that? Unless he had a solid reason that he must go through this mirror.
Lin Sanjiu's gaze jumped back and forth in between the "exit" Ji Shanqing had chosen and the mirror that he came from. Suddenly, she realized that the two mirrors weren't quite facing each other directly. Nevertheless, that mirror Ji Shanqing went through was the only mirror that could be counted as the opposite of the mirror where he came in.
"Could it be!"
Suddenly, the scales fell from Lin Sanjiu's eyes, but she didn't have enough time to think about it. A female voice resounded in the silent mirror chamber, startling her.
"10,9,8,7,6..."
"Damn it, the countdown!" 
The time was running out fast, and she didn't have enough time to do her marking with her blood. Hence, she attempted a different tack. She crouched down and punched the mirror under her feet. When she saw the crack on the mirror, she hastily charged toward the mirror that Ji Shanqing had gone through.
It was only a blink of an eye, and she fell out from the mirror on the other side. This time, she had turned into a stumpy and plumpy ball.
Glancing at the mirror chamber from a new eye level, the mirror chamber appeared to be larger, but she knew it was just her eyes playing tricks on her mind, and she could only attribute this misconception to her new height. As she had shrunk to nearly half of her original height, she needed an extra few seconds to get herself used to see from a lower level. 
After she had enough taking in the structure of this mirror chamber, she strode, without any hesitation, toward the mirror opposite of her. As she walked, she didn't forget to put on her shoes.
She already had a good grasp of Ji Shanqing's method. It could even say that she thought in the same way as Ji Shanqing.
Although all the mirror chambers had different shapes, their structures were limited by the area and space of the "container" outside. Hence, they could only line in the shape of a sphere, albeit it might not be perfectly round. 
At the same time, being "sucked" into the inner region from outside insinuated that the first mirror chamber, which was the starting point, must be near the outer wall of the building while the first mirror she came in should be pointing directly at the center of the diamond building. 
At this time, all she needed to do was to figure out which of the mirrors had the largest angle with the "entrance mirror." Then, by following the angle, she would find the first "corner." When she found the first corner, that meant that she had located the mirror that had the highest possibilities of aligning on the same side as the "entrance mirror."
However, there was a deadly flaw in this method, and she couldn't apply the same method after she entered the second mirror chamber. Although tracing the "edge" was the golden rule of this method, if she was no longer walking by the edge, it meant that she had lost her only guideline and the consequence was that she would definitely lose her way in the mirror chamber. 
When Lin Sanjiu finally returned to the mirror room she first entered, she knew that she had walked around the diamond building already. Indeed, this method was a bit tedious its was the best method she knew in existence if she wanted to find out more about the diamond building.
Regardless of the consequences, she should go through the mirror opposite of the "exit mirror" starting from the second mirror chamber.
Back then, she didn't think that much when she first entered, and she basically randomly picked any mirror based on her gut feeling. By right, she shouldn't be able to return to the first mirror chamber anymore, and she shouldn't know about the angle theory; however, the fortune goddess hadn't abandoned her and smiled upon her because she met Ji Shanqing.
Clearly, the androgynous young lad was utilizing this method to proceed further into the diamond building, so all she needed to do was retrace his route, and she would definitely found her way back to the edge.
Then, once she arrived there, she would be on her own.
Since the shape of the mirror chamber was asymmetrical, it was tough to find the mirror that sat perfectly opposite of the "exit mirror." There were times where she had to take out her [Female Bondage Rope] to measure and figure out the correct angle. At this point, Lin Sanjiu felt relieved that the person who had lost his or her dog leash had refused to buy her bondage rope.
After she had bitten her finger a few times, she suddenly had realized something.
"Why don't I use the knife!" Lin Sanjiu suspected that the idea of using the knife to do her marking never came across her mind was that her brain had been occupied by the maze-like mirror chamber, "Jesus, I almost run out of blood…"
After she drew a crooked "13" on a mirror, she marched toward the mirror opposite her.
After familiar darkness had engulfed her, she was stunned when she opened her eyes.
Ji Shanqing's exquisite yet androgynous face swam into her sight. He no longer had the amiable expression and his face was clouded with anxiety and worry.
"Seems like both of us are using the same method, huh," He understood everything the moment he saw Lin Sanjiu. Then, he sighed, "We're both wrong. The path ends here and we can't proceed any further. Look at it yourself."
This was a mirror chamber built in an isosceles shape, and Lin Sanjiu came out from the bottom of this triangular shaped mirror.


Lin Sanjiu is a normal woman in modern-day society. Everyone admires her outstandingly handsome, gentle, and rich boyfriend. However, Lin Sanjiu feels vaguely afraid of this "perfect" boyfriend. She's always felt that her boyfriend looks at her like she's a tasty piece of meat...

The transformation happened one night. Sanjiu got into an argument with her boyfriend, and he finally revealed his true colors. As it turns out, he was a being with special abilities from an apocalyptic world who wanted to eat Sanjiu to help him evolve. To his dismay, he ended up being the one killed by Sanjiu with her hidden abilities instead.

However, Sanjiu's troubles don't end with her dead boyfriend. In fact, the world she resides in is starting to go through unusual changes. This world is becoming a scorching hot hellhole...

The figure watching as gaseous flames approaching her was unable to move until the moment that flames almost touched her. Using space to teleport a figure came to the edge of the barrier she had created herself.
'I have to break the barrier' Not letting despair take over her, the figure began to use as much energy as possible in his ability: space pandemonium.
The surrounding space began to shake as if it were close to destruction with two great powers crashing into each other.
"Thinking of running away now? I'm sorry but I won't let you go." William, who had completely changed his attitude, said coldly.
The flames around him started to spread all over the place.
"Since you were so nice to show me such a strong law skill, I should return the favor, right?"
Before the figure even managed to say that he didn't need to demonstrate any skills, William broke her confidence completely.
[Laymanship: Called from the outer underworld.]
The gaseous flames form to gather in William's body.
The flames now conveyed despair and fear, in addition thin layers of ice began to form on the destroyed ground.
"what is it?"
Putting together all the pictures she had the picture took the words out of her mouth.
From William's shore a black skeleton began to emerge.
1 meter ... 2 meters ... and so he grew to 5 meters
The lower parts of his body were made of gaseous flames that were connected to William.
When the skeleton placed its empty sockets in the direction of the figure, its 2 pairs of arms stretched out towards it.
Using the remaining energy to dodge the skeletal creature's attacks, the figure lasted almost 15 minutes, but after so long teleporting from side to side the figure proved unable to do anything else.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt at all." William, who was already pale, said these words between his lips.
The arms finally managed to catch her, but unlike what the figure thought she felt nothing when the skeletal arms touched her, but what she saw afterwards terrified her.
The ribs of the skeleton opened to form something that looked like a mouth and inside there was darkness, darkness was moving inside the rib cage and sometimes it came out looking like tongues.
When the figure saw that image it froze.
"No, please I beg you."
Disregarding the words of the figure, the skeleton continued to bring the woman closer to her 'mouth'
Struggling so hard the woman didn't even notice that her hood had fallen off.
A creature that could not tell whether it was female or male appeared.
The eyes of that were crystalline blue and in addition the eyes of the creature had no eyelid remaining eternally open. Fish green scales covered the whole face, instead of hair it had a fin also green with blue. furthermore, a red hexagonal crystal rested in the middle of the forehead.
The creature was quite strange, but William, who just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible, paid no attention to the creature's appearance.
"Please ..." The creature was already inside the skeleton's rib cage, the creature seemed to be swallowed by the black gas.
The creature tried to fight for a few seconds before it was completely engulfed by darkness.
After the creature died, William quickly returned to normal.
The gaseous flames started to disappear and the skeleton started to retract, rapidly decreasing in size, the skeleton quickly disappeared.
William used the isolated space of the dimensional ring to take out a white pill.
As soon as he swallowed the pill his left arm started to grow again. First it was the bones, then the fibers that form the muscles, veins and finally the skin.
His arm quickly returned to normal, but his skin, which was already extremely pale, got even worse.
"Damn it, I have to rest for a few minutes before I leave here." He could use an energy pill, but the pills worked like medicine, the more he used the less effective it became.
Sitting on the destroyed ground, William waited patiently.
******
Inside a room made of green crystals a large throne made of the same material wants the rest of the room.
Sitting on the throne a man almost 2.0 meters tall, with dark blue hair and Golden eyes with armor made of golden scales covered almost his entire body, removing a part of the chest that was completely opposite, the man's façade features were quite striking.

he was watching 8 red mirrors in front of him, the man sitting on the throne frowned when he saw one of the mirrors breaking into several small pieces.
The small pieces turned into a reddish liquid that disappeared into the greenish soil.
"Someone with two spirits? Or does he have a spirit with two laws?" A deep voice came out of the man's mouth.
* BAM *
* BAM *
* BAM *
Three loud knocks sounded at the door of the room.
"Your majesty, the empresses are here for a conference" A servant warned from outside the gate.
"Let them in."
The gate opened, outside a curtain of water separated the hall from what existed outside.
Two women came out of that curtain of water.
The one on the right had dyed black hair with magenta eyes, her body and face were perfect, golden armor hid the perfect attributes she possessed.
The same can be said of the woman on the right.
Her eyes were blood red with her hair, even though she was a stunning beauty she still gave a sense of danger.
As soon as the two approached the thrones they knelt down.
"Emperial Husband"
"Emperial Husband"
When the two entered the room the man changed from an expression of anger to love and affection.
"You know this is not necessary, but I am curious about the reason for your visit to the throne room." If any of them wanted to talk to him they could wait any other time, even in bed after a passionate night, he would most likely be more open to any suggestions.
Knowing that the words they would say next would infuriate the emperor, they both decided to get on their knees.
"Your majesty, the fissure is in a weakened state, it will probably last just a few more days before it closes again" After the words left the red-haired woman the room was startlingly silent.
"Haah ~. I think this is the first time I feel angry to see you two, I have no one to discount when my wives come to deliver the message." When the wives will hear a sad sigh, they thought they had heard it wrong, but then, only a cold spine appeared.
"Ask for a board meeting." The man leaned against the throne and put his hand on his forehead.
*****
In the supreme covenant palace,
A total of 2 chairs were floating in the air, one was doing, while the other was being occupied by a middle aged woman.
Under these two chairs, another 12 also floated, all 12 seats were being occupied.
The room was in absolute silence until the woman in the top chair started to speak:
"If we are sure these 10 attacks are connected ... all astral spaces are gone, can we say that it was carried out by the last devourer?"
At the mention of the devourer a man who was in one of the twelve chairs shivered.
"I think it is unlikely, everyone died at very close intervals of time, unless he manages to control time or space I don't see how it is possible." After a moment the elderly woman's silence continued. "No, I don't think it is possible , a total of 3 victims were in the Bhm galaxy. "
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged woman in the top chair said:
"200 years old and we still have no answer. That child has become a being ... terrifying."
The other people in the room could only agree with the woman's statement.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, something changed humanity, receiving legacies from a time that is long gone. Humans now have special abilities, some even with powers strong enough to change the universe itself.
Follow william on his journey to completely dominate everything he wants.

They changed their clothes inside the palace of these two old aunties, Beauty and Discount. Since these two female cultivators had severed ties with the outside world, the only mirrors they had in the palace were bronze mirrors. Standing in front of the mirror, a single glimpse of his reflection out of the corner of his eye was already enough to make Wang Ling instantly want to die… Hm, no way was he letting anyone else see him like this!
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal praised Wang Ling while he clapped his hands. "Brother Ling, it's the first time I realize how cute you are!"
Wang Ling was wearing the blue Daoist robes and the red veil which the female cultivators had used to cover their faces. The young man in white had never expected that they would suit Wang Ling so well.
Before he could fish out his phone to take a picture, Wang Ling gave it a light glance out of the corner of his eye, and it instantly crashed.
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal froze with surprise before his expression immediately turned pitiful. A picture of Ling Zhenren in women's clothing wasn't something that happened everyday… as a collector's item, it could be worth cities. Unfortunately, the intent was there, but he didn't have the guts to follow through. He had only wanted to check the time when he had taken his phone out just now… Mm, just to check the time! In the end, this small action had rendered his cellphone completely useless.
He sighed in his heart, took the phone out of his pocket, and removed the SIM card and memory card. "I just bought this phone."
Wang Ling glanced at the phone; it was the latest Pear model, which was thirty centimeters long.
The young man in white then dropped this broken phone on the two female cultivators on the ground. "Sorry we've offended you. This phone is useless now, but it may work again after some repairs… and even if it's beyond repair, it's still more useful than a cucumber."
Wang Ling: "…"
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal: "Brother Ling, we're pretty much good to go… yet I still feel like we're forgetting something."
As he said this, the young man in white shifted his gaze to the fruits on the altar table in the palace. He crooked his fingers, and grabbed two apples that flew at him before stuffing them down his chest. He then turned to Wang Ling. "Brother Ling, do you want any?"
Wang Ling: "…" Drop dead!...
At the same time, in the underground palace, the Daoist in red frowned slightly. "Have you locked onto the intruders?"
Immortal Mansion's Daoist robes were customized with special materials, and these materials could act as verification codes. After intruders entered Immortal Mansion, the Ice Crystal Array could be used to lock onto their auras and immediately track them down.
"We have a rough lock on them, but…" replied the eastern branch chief.
"But what?"
"There seems to be some people missing."
The eastern branch chief raised his hand. Spirit light sprung up below his sleeve and several scenes were projected in the air. "Master, these are the pictures that have just been transmitted by the holy array. They are all in different locations. The female cultivator's Daoist name is Cailian, and the man with a gourd on his back is Immortal Toya, who has been the talk of the cultivation world in the last few days."
"Hm, I know both of them," said the Daoist in red.
"As for the other three… one is Luo Chuang, the owner of Fatty Luo Metalware whom we tried to capture before but failed; the other one is Lightning Dharmaraja, who currently controls the only remaining holy relic, the godly thunder inheritance. The last one…" The eastern branch chief shook his head as he looked at the image. "I don't recognize this person. I have people looking into his identity at the moment."
"You said there were people missing?"
"Yes, Master, there are indeed some who are missing," said the eastern branch chief. "All these people revolve around that Great Death-Courting Senior, and the rumor is that there is a person called Ling Zhenren with him. He is the owner of this peach wood sword."
"Hehe, that's interesting. These two are probably the toughest of this lot to handle. But these are all minor issues."
The Daoist in red narrowed his eyes as he looked at the eastern branch chief. "I've now found the sword spirit most suitable for becoming a sword soul. In order to produce the ultimate godly sword, whether it's the sword spirit inside or the sword body, everything about it has to be the best. Since I already have the heavenly materials for the sword, I need an experienced smith to do the final forging."
Eastern branch chief: "Master, you mean…?"
The Daoist in red smiled slightly. "Before they come charging in, I want you to capture that Fatty Luo and bring him here."
...
After stepping past the spatial wall, Fatty Luo and Dharmaraja happened to end up in the same team. As soon as they landed, they could sense the array guardian spirits rising up.
"This is probably the power of some magic weapon, I'm guessing a spirit sword. Drawing on the power of the holy array, it's summoning the spiritual bodies to come together to form the array guardian spirits."
With just one glance, Fatty Luo had already guessed it. Gazing in the direction of the array guardian spirit's appearance, he probed for auras with his spiritual senses. "Is that… Ling Zhenren's aura?"
"Should we meet up with them first?" asked Dharmaraja.
Fatty Luo analyzed the situation. "We're not in a hurry. I reckon that those array guardian spirits will be killed instantly… Our priority right now is to hide ourselves. This holy array is not an ordinary one, and I'm guessing that Immortal Mansion uses it to search for auras and track down intruders."
It could only be said that Fatty Luo was Fatty Luo. His vigilance far surpassed an ordinary person's in situations like these. His pretty history of robbing tombs wasn't just for show. Even if he was large in size, he had a deliberate mind.
The two of them took refuge in the palace on Sanyuan Road, and found a hallway to camp out in.
Immortal Mansion's group of palaces could be accessed from anywhere. At that time, it had already given the order to capture the intruders, so as these two individuals entered on one side, they could sense countless Immortal Mansion disciples moving around on the other.
Dharmaraja felt his scalp turn numb. "Do you think there might be something else here?"
"This isn't a tomb… but of course that doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't any ghosts around," said Fatty Luo.
"Then should we light a candle in one corner and recite 'To seek the dragon through obstacles'[1]?" said Dharmaraja.
Fatty Luo: "…"
They took shelter in this relatively inconspicuous narrow hallway for a while.
After a moment, Dharmaraja frowned. "Why are all the disciples of Immortal Mansion female?"
Hearing his question, Fatty Luo was struck by something. "Dharmaraja, did you notice that those array guardian spirits were focused on attacking just Ling Zhenren even when this bunch of female disciples were blatantly moving around outside? I believe that the Daoist robes they're wearing are probably a marker which helps the holy array to lock onto invaders."
Dharmaraja: "So, Brother Luo, your meaning is…?"
Fatty Luo answered earnestly, "I think we can dress up as women."
Dharmaraja: "…"
Dharmaraja: "Brother Luo, it's a great idea… but are you sure those Daoist robes will fit us?"
Fatty Luo: "…"
[1] This is part of a recitation which the protagonist uses in the Chinese fantasy tomb explorer movie 'Mojin: The Lost Legend.' If the candle goes out, it's a sign that ghosts are present in the tomb.

Fangzheng said, "This Penniless Monk needs a sturdy fish net and two sturdy metal poles."
Old Wang was immediately taken aback. "I can understand the fishing nets, but what are the metal poles for?"
"Master, impressive. You still need metal poles to defend yourself? Don't worry. With that single kick alone, it was enough to scare off Brother Snake and the rest. It's unlikely they will find trouble with you again." Shao Chong believed that Fangzheng was buying things for self-defense purposes.
Fangzheng didn't explain as he said, "It will be used to do something, but not to fight."
Shao Chong nodded slightly, but he didn't believe it one bit. Prior to this, he believed that Fangzheng was only an ordinary monk, but after that kick and with his purchase of fishing nets presumably to catch fish, he had already categorized Fangzheng as someone like the Flowery Monk, Lu Zhishen, in the Classical Novel, Water Margin. He thought, "This is a monk who is a mad hatter…"
Old Wang didn't ask further and said, "I don't have what you want in my shop, but there's a steel welder across the street. You can get him to make you two steel bars. As for the net, I have many types. They are all over there. Pick one yourself."
Fangzheng nodded and walked over. There were nets all over the floor, but what surprised Shao Chong and Old Wang was that Fangzheng chose the roughest rope net!
Old Wang asked with a face of embarrassment, "Venerable One, you don't know how to fish, right? That's not a fish net. It's a net used by me to store goods."
When Shao Chong heard that, he burst out in laughter. "Master, didn't you notice? This net's ropes are about the thickness of a finger. The holes in the net are about the size of a palm. Where are you going to fish with such huge holes?"
Fangzheng smiled. "Who said that This Penniless Monk was going to go fishing?"
Once he said that, Old Wang and Shao Chong were stunned… If you aren't net fishing, why are you buying a fishing net?
Fangzheng didn't explain and immediately made the payment. Shao Chong asked for Old Wang to give a discount since it wasn't really a fishing net but an old net used to haul goods. Old Wang shook his head in exasperation and gave Fangzheng a discount before selling it. Having been in business for so long, this was the first time he had encountered such a strange customer. Fangzheng had come to a fishing accessories store to buy a net, but not for fishing! That wasn't even important; he even bought it despite knowing that it was old…
However, Old Wang couldn't be bothered either. Anything that earned him money was good business, regardless of what the customer bought.
Fangzheng stored away the net and headed across the street to the steel welder. The welder had a rod with a handle, and he welded the net onto the rod according to Fangzheng's wishes. Instantly, this strange item became a huge netted scoop for scooping up fish. However, the net was just too big… Unless one was trying to scoop up a huge marine creature like a shark, it was completely useless.
Shao Chong kept following and watching. He was responsible for bargaining, but the more he watched, the more confused he got. What is this monk going to use this thing for?
"Master, what are you using this item for?" Shao Chong finally couldn't curb his curiosity as he asked.
Fangzheng chuckled. "To scoop up a mermaid."
"Mermaid?" Shao Chong was taken aback before he smiled wryly. "Master, stop pulling my leg. Although Dawu has a river, it's a freshwater river. How can there be mermaids…"
Fangzheng said, "What you might not be able to scoop up isn't necessarily something This Penniless Monk can't scoop up either."
Shao Chong still wanted to keep asking when he heard Red Boy say, "Since my Master said that he can scoop it up, it definitely means he can. Stop blabbering and just watch the show."
Shao Chong rolled his eyes when he heard that. Although he didn't verbalize it, he had come to a conclusion. Fangzheng was definitely trying to use smoke and mirrors. Ignoring the fact that there were no mermaids in this world, they would be in the sea even if they existed. Could this monk be going downstream into the sea? With this in mind, Shao Chong stopped talking and just followed behind. He wanted to see how the duo was about to catch a mermaid!
However, the more he walked, the more puzzled he became. Why is this monk walking back to the commercial district?
Shao Chong's mind was filled with questions. Just as he went over to inquire, he saw Fangzheng stop suddenly and look up at Shao Gang who was leaning against the window on the third story.
Shao Gang laughed. "Master, have you bought your fishing equipment? Eh? This net of yours is really special." Shao Gang was also puzzled. 
Why would this monk end up buying something like that when he was buying a fishing net? Has this monk gone silly from being a monk? Doesn't he have any common sense when it comes to catching fish? But even if the monk is unaware, Shao Chong should know that, right? Did this fellow just watch idly as this Master got swindled? He pondered if he should berate Shao Chong later.
Before Fangzheng could speak, Shao Chong shouted. "Brother, Master bought the net not to catch ordinary small fish, but he wants to catch a mermaid!"
"Pfft!" Shao Gang spewed out a mouthful of tea and laughed. "Mermaid? Haha! Master, you must be kidding, right?"
As the two brothers shouted, the merchants around heard the commotion and either peeked their heads out or leaned against the window to watch the show. A few passers-by shot Fangzheng a glance and were immediately attracted by Fangzheng's clothing. After all, few people wore monk robes these days. It was also rare to see monks walking on the street. Furthermore, this monk was rather special. Ignoring his white monk robes and shiny bald head, wasn't he a little too handsome? Many chicks took a second glance, pissing off the male partners beside them! But soon, the chicks were attracted to the super huge scoop that Fangzheng was carrying. The net had a diameter of a meter and was two meters long! With Fangzheng carrying it on his shoulder, it was difficult for him not to attract the attention of others.
Furthermore, Fangzheng still had an adorable kid following him. They basically attracted everyone from young to old.
However, when the crowd heard that Fangzheng was about to scoop up a mermaid, they immediately started laughing.
"Haha, this Master sure is interesting. Ever since he came, our street has turned rather lively. He swindled a cheat and beat up scumbags. Now, he's catching mermaids. Tsk. I wonder what trick he will pull off next." The female sales attendant in the clothing store from before chuckled.
Her boss was attracted once again. When he saw Fangzheng's appearance and his employee recounting how the net was meant to scoop up a mermaid, he immediately shook his head. "This monk sure is capable; unfortunately, he's an idiot. Scoop up mermaids? He really can fantasize. Enough, Little Zhang, stop watching. Although he's quite handsome, his brains are lacking."
"Oh, come on, Boss. Let me watch a little while longer. I find this monk rather fun. There's no one in our store anyway. I'll stop watching if customers come," Little Zhang said.
The boss shook his head. "Alright then. I'll watch the idiot and amuse myself as well."
Many people had similar thoughts. Although there were many people on the commercial street, each store didn't get much business individually. Some stores were even empty… Since there were no customers, the bosses didn't force their employees to do anything. They allowed them to watch the show and were rather humane.
As for the passers-by, some shook their heads, took a photo, and posted it on their WeChat Moments: "Encountered an idiot. He wants to use that net to scoop up mermaids. Wishing him the best of luck…"

Terry walked through a small hallway with a sack full of sixteen-thousand gold pieces in hand. He stopped at a desk that had no line. He walked past a bunch of doors that were all numbered. Mages watched Terry with wide eyes probably due to the vast amounts of gold he was carrying.
A woman in the same uniform as Beca stood behind the desk, "Hello are you looking for housing?" She questioned.
Terry smiled and nodded his head, "Yeah I can go for some sleep." His eyes felt heavy and his body sluggish. He hadn't slept since he was at the Trader's Inn.
She nodded her head with a smile, "Of course which room do you want we have our basic room at twenty gold a week. Advanced for 40 gold a week. Our high-end rooms are 80 gold a week. Our best rooms are 160 gold a week which are restricted to class A and up mages."
"Well I'm class S I think. So I'll take one of the best rooms you have." Terry said with a weak smile.
"Oh, you are? I just haven't seen you here so I assumed forgive me." The receptionist said seemingly tapping her fingers on a desk and waving her hands until her eyes widened, "Oh... your right. The new Tome Finder is pleased to meet your acquaintance and your job history. Impressive for only being here one day. Slaying ten dire rats and a lich amazing."
Terry scratched the back of his head and smiled, "Thanks."
She did a few more gestures and returned the smile, "Alright I can get you a high-end room we have one available. Would you be paying weekly or yearly? If you are paying yearly it is a fifty percent discount."
"Discount?" Terry questioned with a cock of his head.
The receptionist laughed shortly, "It just means it'll be a bit cheaper. It would be three thousand eight hundred and forty gold pieces if you would like to pay for the year."
Terry lifted the large bag of gold over the counter, "Sure... I should have enough in here." Terry said dropping the gold letting it hit the desk with a loud -THUD-.
"Impressive," She whispered untying the top of the bag pulling out a handful of golden coins. She began to count handful by handful, "We've definitely been needing another S rank mage we've been getting backlogged in our S rank requests as Dragoncaller and Phoenix doesn't do as much as they should be." The receptionist spoke while counting.
Terry laughed lightly, "I see. Well, don't expect me to do too much more than they do. I'm still pretty new."
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that if you do a task more than once every two weeks then you'll be doing more than them." She took a few more coins out of the bag and smiled pushing the bag back to Terry a small pile of golden coins sat in front of her, "There we go three thousand eight hundred and forty coins. Perfect." She reached under the desk and handed Terry a key, "This key will take open the door down the hallway and to the right. Your name will already be posted on the nameplate of the door."
Terry nodded his head taking the sack of gold coins it felt quite a bit lighter Terry thought to himself as he tied it back up. "Alright thank you." He said walking off with the key in hand. He took a right at an intersection and walked past two doors one's plate read Dragoncaller the next Phoenix and his name was on the very end, Terry. He smiled to himself putting the key into the door and turning it. The door opened right up.
Terry had stars form in his eyes as he walked in the room was bathed in a gentle white light. A small hot tub sat in the corner with a large mirror mounted on the wall across from a gargantuan bed. He walked in closing the door behind him with a smile on his face, "It's nice." He muttered.
"It is," Erebus responded.
Terry smiled wide, "it's much better than what I'm used to at the orphanage... my own bed my own... everything."
"Of course... There is something you need to know."
"What is it Erebus..." Terry was quiet for a moment, "But first I really don't like calling you by that name how bout E?" He walked over to the bed and laid down.
"If that's what you wish... What I wanted to tell about is the soul gem you carry in your pocket."
Terry reached down grabbing the gem out of his pocket looking deeply into it, "Yeah? What about it?"
"I know you are still pained about what happened to her and you feel like it's your fault. Which it is.... but as you get stronger and gain more control over our powers you can bring her back... back the way she was."
"Really? That's.... that's really good to hear." Terry muttered putting the gem back into his pocket. He looked over at a small table that had another mirror sitting on the desk. "Why would I need two mirrors?" Terry questioned sitting up from the bed. He put his hand on the mirror it lit up lightly in vibrant white light.
The mirror began to speak a distorted voice spoke, "Hello, REGISTERED USER what would you like to order? A list of five different boxes with different food items was listed they were, "CHICKEN, BEEF, SEAFOOD, PORK, VEGETARIAN"
"What is this?" Terry questioned looking at the mirror for a few moments until reaching out for the STEAK button. A few more buttons popped up but Terry stopped reading them and started clicking through them to see what would happen. 
The distorted voice began to speak again, "One STEAK dinner with STEAMED POTATOES and TEA price THIRTEEN gold pieces. CONFIRM?"
Terry hit the confirm button and the mirror turned black. "Hmm, odd thing. He laid back on his bed closing his eyes slowly falling asleep. Terry awoke with a start to a knock on his door, "C...coming." He said groggily standing up walking to the door. Upon opening, he was greeted by a young mage boy in a suit and tie, 
"Here's ya order sir." He was pushing a trolly covered in a white cloth with a plate with a dome lid over it, and a pitcher filled with ice cubes and a smooth brown liquid. "It's thirteen gold, sir." He said his smile widening a bit. 
"Oh... hold on." Terry turned around counting thirteen gold pieces out of his bag that laid on the floor next to the door. "Alright. Here ya go." Terry handed the gold pieces to the young boy and took the dome plate and the pitcher. The boy walked past with the trolly. Terry turned around noticing a table with forks and spoons and a small glass. "That wasn't there before," Terry said with a chuckle walking over to the table.
Terry sat down and began to eat, 'I could get used to this.' 
Terry didn't leave the room for a whole week. Why would he? He had everything he needed. His one personal bathroom behind a door in the back of the room food and as much entertainment he could want with the mirror across from his bed. 
Terry slept with a smile on his face he wore fresh clothing that he was able to order through the mirror his burned tarnished clothing was scattered around the room lazily. He woke up to a loud knock, "I didn't order anything." Terry said to himself getting up walking to the door and opening it.
Dragoncaller also known as Darryl stood at the door, "Hey Terry I have a mission I want to go on with you."
"What is it?" Terry questioned scratching the back of his head.
"Another Tomefinder." Dragoncaller said with a smile, "It's S rank so we'll both get four k gold pieces though you probably don't need it I heard about the big payday you got on your first day. Crazy how that works."
Terry smiled, "Yeah... I'm game where are we going?"
Darryl returned Terry's smile and it slowly contorted into a smirk, "The orphanage you came from. I should have known there was another one there."
Erebus chuckled in Terry's head, 'So, she was found.'

In a world of magic filled with mystical creatures and plagued by powerful monsters dubbed golems, a young teen finds a book of powerful magic that will change his life and maybe his world forever. Follow the orphan Terry as he grows in his new life as a powerful mage... or more.

"This.." Yusif mumbled. ".. My warehouse? Then it's been 10 years already? Damn.."
He stood up, giving the warehouse a good look, even if it was just that. An empty warehouse, with a few rows of bright lights attached to the ceiling, and nothing else aside from a comparatively small console at the other end of the space.
"It's a bit bland." He observed. "Better than nothing though, I guess. Woulda been nice if I had this before." He made his way over the console, wondering aloud, "And here must be where I customize it?" The screen came alive, displaying an interface reminiscent of the one he first saw.
[Jumpchain Supplement: Cosmic Warehouse]

It isn't very inviting, as empty and boring as it is, but maybe you can change that a little. Here's a budget to redecorate. +150CP]
"How thoughtful." The screen changed once more. "Let me see.. Electricity. Sure, Plumbing? Yes please." He began spending his CP.
"Med bay. Definitely going to need that. Free shelving, steal. Portal? Replaces the key with a portal.. Sure, why not." He tapped his chin, wondering what else to purchase. "Terminal, sure, I'm bound to lose track of all the things I have. Oh, right, Food Supply. Don't want to starve. And then, I guess Extra Space." As he purchased that last one, the warehouse doubled in size around him. "Nice."
Yusif looked through the options, ultimately not finding what he was looking for. "I guess I can't bring Talia with me just yet. It's gonna suck having to get used to life without her, but I knew this was a possibility.."
He sighed regrettably, and returned to his shopping, something that never failed to improve his mood. "Housing for whenever I just.. Want to live in my interdimensional warehouse. Forcewall, don't want anyone getting inside without my permission. And, Robots I guess. Why sort myself when I can have brainless servants do it."
The warehouse changed around him, shelving, two rooms appearing side-by-side, the console he was already at growing in size, and a few humanoid robots by the shelves. When he made his final purchase, the screen moved on to the next section.
[Jumpchain Supplement: BodyMod]
[Want to look different? With this, you can change your "default" body for all future Jumps. Note that your choices scale with age, so muscle definition and body build may not be as prominent depending on how young you are. If any future Jump causes you to change into a different species, you will appear as that species' equivalent body type. If you have a light, muscular build as a human, you will find that you will become that species' equivalent of a light, muscular build.
To help customize your body to suit your tastes, you are given an operating budget of 600CP. Have fun!]
[Choose a body type: Body types provide a base to work off of, a starting point from which you expand. You can skip taking a Body Type, instead using your normal body as a base.]
The four listed options were 'Bodybuilder', 'Athlete', 'Charmer' and 'Bestial', but Yusif chose none of theme, instead taking the option to use his already existing body. He was already quite happy with it, especially the strength and muscles he built up over the years. They each even cost 100CP just to pick one, which helped his decision, even if he was just being stingy.
The next section listed stats and perks, with the stats being: Strength, Endurance, Speed, Dexterity, Appeal, Shape and Sense, and the perks being Height, Endowed, Winged, Ever cleansed, Flexibility, Color, Metavore, and Genderswap. To upgrade a stat, it would cost 50CP and they had a max of 4, while the perks had varying prices, but mostly being around 100 each.
"Hmm.. All of my stats are already high enough, except for sense. That wasn't something I could upgrade." He used 200CP to improve that to the max, which improved all his normal senses by over triple and would supposedly let him hear/see outside the normal spectrums. He next upgraded dexterity to max for another 200, as that was another stat he couldn't improve. "Mirrors edge level parkour? Badass moves, here I come." The last thing he bought were two purchases of the flexibility perk, because yet again, it wasn't something he could improve upon in Ark, and he didn't find the others very useful, even if swapping genders sounded fun.
The moment he confirmed his final purchase, he passed right out, and after what felt like only a second for him, he was awake once more in the Med bay. The first thing Yusif noticed when he came to was his sight. It was so much more clearer than before, that it took him nearly a minute to get adjusted, and he guess that when he started the next jump, he'd have a similar experience with his other senses. Aside from that, although he didn't immediately notice, his balance and anything related was improved to amazing levels, as was his flexibility. He could literally bend his finger and touch the back of his hand. It was freaky.
After getting out of bed, he checked out the rest of the warehouse--which amounted to basically just the housing-- and returned to the terminal, finding it on a different screen.
[Welcome to the next jump, Jumper! Next jump: RWBY]
[Remnant, a world where people wield the light of their souls, Aura, and nature's wrath given form, Dust, to fight back against the encroaching darkness of the soulless Grimm, twisted monsters resembling bone covered animals. Four Kingdoms stand strong, points of light against the night, but so very easily snuffed out should the forces of destruction overwhelm them. Human and Faunus live in a world, broken an beautiful, yet so torn by danger from without and from within. You enter a month before the events of RWBY Season 1.]
"..RWBY? Good thing I ended up watching it. Seems like a shitty place to be without any meta-knowledge, but a pretty good one with it. Its got cat girls too."
[Locations: You may freely choose your starting location from the options below.]
"Oh, goody. I won't have to leave it up to fate this time. Already know where I'm choosing though."
[1. Kingdom of Vale: The central country, home to Signal Combat Academy and Beacon Hunter Academy. Grimm presence is contained to the Emerald Forest, Forever Fall and Mountain Glen. Patch Island is west of here.
2. Kingdom of Vacuo: In the far west. A land of harsh, desert-like conditions, their Hunter Academies are more casual in outlook, reflected in their lack of uniform. Flavored after Asia, probably.
3. Kingdom of Atlas: In the far north. Schnee Dust Company HQ resides here, and their Hunter Academies have a more militaristic focus, as seen in their uniform code. Their military is highly cyberized, focusing on robotic infantry and support.
4. Kingdom of Mistral: In the far east, home to Sanctum Combat Academy, and Haven Hunter Academy. Flavored after Mediterranean empires, and their attitude is more upper-class, seen in their speech and uniform.
5. Menagerie: The country to the south-east, where the Faunus were shipped. A high concentration of Faunus live here, and humans are looked on with suspicion and distrust. High White Fang presence here.
6. North-Western Country: Shaped like a dragon. There is very little here in terms of civilization, aside from the occasional nomad or hideaway. Grimm presence is extremely high here. Don't know why you'd pick this.]
"Yeah, my decision doesn't change. I'll take Vale as my startling location. All the others blow."
[Backgrounds:
Drop-in: You know the drill, new jump, new world, new problems. No memories or family, and whether this helps or harms is up to you.
Student: You've trained yourself to enter Combat school, and are preparing to enter Hunter academy.
Criminal: You've had a nasty past, running the streets or the alleys of some city or other, but have turned over a new leaf.
Military: Coming from a military family, you've pushed yourself to get where you are, and shown progress.
BONUS. Faunus: You're a little beastly, aren't you? Gain free nigh vision, a cosmetic trait and quirk of some animal, and a lifetime of derision and suspicion. Can take with any background. +100CP.]
".. Be a furry for 100CP. Is it worth it? Yeah, sure. Then for my actual background.. Military seems like my best option, for combat at least, so I'll take that."
[Catalogue: Purchase your Perks, Weapons and Items.]
"Here it is! I'll say it again, this is the only part that matters. First thing firsts, the free shit."
[Abs (Free): You are more aerobic, physically fit and dexterous than before. You also favor midriff bearing outfits and puns.]
[Iconic Outfit (Free): One set of personalized casual wear with a symbol representing who you are.]
[Iconic Theme (Free): You first hear this song when you do something amazing, then every time things get serious. Others can hear this if you wish, but won't find it strange. How bizarre.]
[Scroll (Free): Think a smartphone, but with terrible wilderness reception, video camera, messaging and more!]
[A Guide to Grimm (Free): Teaches you how to punch monsters to death. Also grants a bonus to punching other monsters to death in future deaths. Master this and you punch so good, they explode! They might not die, but they will be in pain!]
"Next, the drawbacks."
[Marked (+100CP): The Grimm smell the strength of your soul, and target you above others when it comes to battle. Be prepared to pull in more than your weight in petty scalps.]
[Dust Allergy (+200CP): You now become itchy in the presence of dust, and should you become exposed to it, by contact or proximity, require medical attention. If you ingest it, prepare for a prolonged hospital stay.]
[Hunted (+200CP): You're being hunted jumper. They person hunting you isn't guaranteed to be an actual hunter, instead being anywhere from the level of a crippled old man, to a rookie hunter fresh out of the academy.]
[Actually Hunted (+300CP): You're really being hunted now jumper, by a group this time. They're also guaranteed to be at the level of a Hunter Academy student. Good luck.]
Finally,
[Inverted (+400CP): Whenever you feel immense rage or pain, a secondary persona will take over who has none of the restraints you do. Basically got the hulk in you minus the strength. He won't kill your family though if that's any consultation.]
The were all manageable, even if that last one was a tad worrying for Yusif. "My pain tolerance is already pretty high, and well.. I guess I'm kinda prone to getting pissed. It'll be fine though. I can control myself. Probably. I should stop talking." He grinned briefly, "But now, it's shopping time. Ooh, what's this? Variable Weapon?"
[Variable Weapon (Free/-50CP): It's a thing that turns into another thing! One gun and one melee weapon, together at last. For 25CP you can import weapons, at no decrease performance! 50CP for more upgrades.
Heavy (-25CP): Now its bigger than you are! And a lot stronger than you remember. Can not be taken with Streamlined.
Streamlined (-25CP): You've made it lighter, smaller, and no less delicate. Can not be taken with Heavy.
Etcetera...]
"My claws! At least I can bring those with me.. And I'll pair them with two Tek Pistols I suppose. Now for the upgrades.."
The first upgrade he purchased was Alt-Alt Mode, giving the weapon a third form, which he set to the Tek Railgun. Yusif didn't understand how that would work, but didn't question it. He next gave it Aura Focus, which did as it suggested and allowed Aura to be channeled through it. There was also an option to do the same with Dust, but he didn't thing that would be a very good idea. The final upgrade he gave his Variable Weapon was Concealed, which gave the weapon the ability to fold in on itself, becoming smaller and hiding from metal detectors. It amounted to a total of 250CP, but Yusif found the price worth it.
His next purchase was another weapon, but one that he couldn't help purchasing.
[Xanthine (-400CP/Military Discount): What looks to be a big thermos, this set of expanding exoskeletal armor links into your bloodstream, cutting Aura costs at least twofold. While active, you can wade through bombardment, suplex train carriages, mold steel, project shields, etcetera. Keeps drinks at perfect temperatures. Come with carrying case for extra plating and weapon points.]
He imagined this would be his trump card if he ever ended up having one. Even with the levels he received in Ark, he wouldn't be able to 'suplex train carriages' at all. It was also cut down to only 200CP with the discount, and would pair very well with the next purchase he made.
[Aura Implants (-800CP/Military Discount): Experimental Aura 'Cores' implanted in major joints and nerve clusters, allowing you to leech and store excess Aura. You can also do Aura intensive actions, such as enlarged astral projection, wirelessly wield weapons, fire concentrated Aura 'bolts', and create shields that do more than just cover your body. Hard limit of five times aura exists to prevent aneurysms and cardiac arrest. Also become hardier to disease.]
It might have been expensive--not as much as it would have been without the discount--, but Yusif found it to be more than worth it. The two combined would probably allow him to take on basically anyone in the RWBY verse, aside from the brother gods of course, and that wasn't just him being cocky. "Please don't nerf."
Next,
[Combat Ready (-600CP/Military Discount): Hundreds of thousands of simulations, scores of attack patterns, dozens of weapon variations. If this doesn't see you through a fight, then I don't know what will.]
A completely broken perk, that was yet another discount.
[Payback (-600CP/Military Discount): The light of your soul has given you the ability to avenge yourself in conflict. By taking in enemy damage or attacks, you can convert and keep it as a sort of damage multiplier.]
This would be his semblance, and a very useful one in Yusif's opinion.
[Awakened Animal (-200CP): A domesticated animal, way out of the league of regular animals, capable of fighting Grimm by your side and crazy combo attacks. Free import of any animal companion.]
This made him smile. He couldn't have Talia, but he could at least bring Shiro. Yusif wondered just how he would explain his acquisition of the massive griffin though.
[Remnant Arcana (-600CP): As a side effect of your studies, you have become a master codebreaker, mystery finder and translator. You learn dead arts twice as fast, and cast magic arts better for it too. Subsequently, your aura pool doubles.]
And with his final 50 CP,
[Sweet Ride (-100CP/Military Discount): Gain an Aura-powered vehicle. Yes, you can import an old vehicle for free. No it can't be something like a VTOL. Cars, motorcycles, that's what you're licensed for. On the plus side, the vehicle will also be able to channel Aura.]
He chose to import a custom made Tek Motorbike he had Talia create. It took nearly a half a year, but it was every bit worth the wait and many hours were spent riding across the island.
Before pressing the finalize button, Yusif briefly stretched his arms over his head, muttering "Off I go." He confirmed everything, and like last time, his vision promptly became covered in darkness, and in the next moment, he was gone from the warehouse.

A half-way-there psychopath enters a jumpchain. Nuff said.
First world: Ark (Short Arc)
Second world: RWBY

A family inclined to kindness and charity would grace the descendants.
Thanks to one small act of kindness,
by providence she comes across a grateful friend;
Fortunate that her mother,
has done an unperceived good deed….

Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor…
Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road?

Clouds of rain float on eastern winds as new vines start to blossom.
Though drums of war roar too loudly and their brilliance has been lost,
a green grass carpet greets the sun by the break of morning.
Let us wait for the yellow leaves, a few gourds are harvested.
