The journey of a demon through this world of Cultivation and Magic.

There was one day left until the commencement of the final examinations. 
The high school students were finally done with the intense revision period that had spanned across a few months. Now that there was only a day left, they decided to use it to relax, let loose and get into the mood for the examinations.
Everyone had begun placing their focus on the final examinations, including the media and the public. There had been numerous reports about the examinations and the entire nation had sunk into the exam mood.
Wen Xinya headed to Floral Lingo Pavilion in the morning for a full body essential oil massage which lasted for two hours, after which she felt extremely refreshed and energetic.
She then drove to Lishan Mansion where the roses and Chinese roses were in bloom. They were bright and vibrant. There were also some grapes hanging all over the vines, and she reckoned that they would be able to savor the ripened ones soon. 
Wen Xinya gently pushed the door of the study open to see that Si Yiyan was sitting in front of the desk and reading some books which he seemed to be engrossed in. 
It was not the first time that Wen Xinya had encountered such a situation.
Wen Xinya took lighter steps and walked towards Si Yiyan stealthily before covering his eyes all of a sudden. She then spoke in a strange voice, "Guess who I am."
Si Yiyan pulled her hand and held it in his before pulling her towards the side. He then placed her on his lap and teased. "You're getting mischievous, eh?"
Wen Xinya stuck her tongue out at him and thought to herself, How was I being mischievous? I was just telling him to make a guess. How petty. He exposed me so soon. 
Si Yiyan held her in his arms and rubbed her body affectionately.
Wen Xinya began to discover that Si Yiyan's body was getting a little arm, though she was unsure if she was just hallucinating. "What book were you reading just now? You were so engrossed that you didn't even realize that I had entered." 
Wen Xinya then pretended to grab the book on the desk. 
Instead of stopping her, Si Yiyan hugged her affectionately and said, "Hmm, it's a very interesting book. Good that you're here. Let's read it together." 
Wen Xinya opened the book right away without even taking a look at the cover. At the instant that she caught a glimpse of an erotic page, she lost her rationality and got dumbfounded! 
Wen Xinya stammered and spluttered in disbelief. 
She turned around in a robotic manner and stared at Si Yiyan with a deadpan expression as if it was extremely unbelievable. Si Yiyan looked rather refined and classy, yet menacing and standoffish like a snow lotus. He was genteel and sophisticated like a poem.
Is he really not that lecherous Martian?
Staring at the deadpan expression on her face, Si Yiyan burst into laughter uncontrollably. 
She seemed to have forgotten that they had read the Kama Sutra together on the night that she had gotten drunk. They even experimented the different positions while reading. 
Wen Xinya blinked her eyes that were a little dry and sore before casting the book onto the desk as if she had gotten scalded by the erotic illustrations. She turned shy and sneered. "You… you're actually reading such stuff in secret… so much for being well versed in Confucian studies. Where has your etiquette gone?"
Whenever she was shy, her eyes would glisten and she would blush red like a tomato. There would be a vibrant, rosy hue on her face that could not be achieved by blusher. "Confucius can't be bothered about romance. Without sex, there will be no passing on of generations. Without love and lust, the human race would cease. I'm just doing what humans are supposed to. That's why I'm doing my best to learn the precious information left behind by our ancestors." 
Wen Xinya was immediately stunned speechless. However, her face was still burning hot. He would never fail to sound so self-righteous when talking about such stuff. "You're just being unreasonable." 
Shaking his head, Si Yiyan said, "No, I'm just promoting social harmony."
He was just twisting logic. 
Wen Xinya widened her eyes and retorted. "What does this have to do with social harmony? Don't spout nonsense."
Dear, where's your shame and dignity? Shouldn't you save some face for yourself? 
Si Yiyan said, "A harmonious sex life is determined by the happiness of a family. And according to the conclusion deduced by American scientists, women tend to get anxious, frustrated, rash and easily irritated whenever they're sexually deprived. They would also end up in familial conflicts and develop illnesses and health conditions like premature menopause. That would lead to financial problems as well."
He casually picked up the teacup and took a sip. 
He continued, "Men… tend to face tremendous stress and end up being frustrated, angry, and even develop an inferiority complex because of his sexual frustration. During such circumstances, men would tend to make mistakes, like cheating on their spouses… Look, familial harmony is essential for social cohesion. How can society be cohesive without familial harmony?" 
Wen Xinya seemed to be getting a little confused. "Even if that's the case, what does social harmony have to do with what you're reading?"
Wen Xinya was extremely muddled up because of Si Yiyan.
Whenever they debated about that issue, she would feel duped and have her thoughts manipulated by him. Her intelligence would decrease monetarily. 
Si Yiyan burst into laughter and said, "After reading this, we'll have a better sex life, won't we?" 
Wen Xinya nodded hesitantly. 
Si Yiyan nibbled on her earlobe gently and said, "Once we have a good sex life, we won't have any familial issues and our family will be blissful and harmonious. Wouldn't that help with making society cohesive?"
Wen Xinya was greatly amused by his explanation and she felt that no one would ever outargue him. "Go ahead and continue with that bullshit! You can't hide the fact that you have a lecherous personality beneath that gilded exterior."
"Don't tell me that sex is a shameful and lecherous thing to you? You must know… that I'm learning this just to make life better for you." Si Yiyan wrapped an arm around her waist and groped her tender flesh.
Wen Xinya pinched him and chided. "Lecher!" 
Not bothered at all, Si Yiyan said, "Let's take a look together."
Wen Xinya turned red immediately, and the images of her behaving hysterically in a drunken stupor flashed through her mind. She felt a strong urge to cover her face and scream. How could she have forgotten about that? 
He's so despicable! 
She was at a loss for words to describe him. 


Originally born from a wealthy family, she ends up leading a vagrant life for fifteen years. However, when she is eventually found by her family, she falls into another devious plot and eventually dies tragically. 

Fifteen years after her rebirth, ravenously raging for revenge, she tears down the hypocritical mask of the foster daughter who had taken her place, and reduces her greedy stepmother and stepsister back to their original sorry states. 

To the jerk's profession of his deep love for her, she only has one thing to say, "Get the hell out of my life. The love you speak of humiliates love!" 

Regardless of the appearances of you monsters, I’ll take in it my stride with my capability, building a business dynasty of my own, sitting in the depths of my riches, bathing in the glistening limelight of the world. 

A certain rich empire's CEO: "Don't mind me. I'm just leaving my mark here to declaring my possession rights; I’ll wait patiently for you to grow up!" The queen's mighty return with commercial warfare fully within her grasp, she navigates the power struggles with skill and verve. When it comes to scheming conspiracies, all she has to say is, "Who are you again? Don’t even bother!"

"Where am I?"

After stepping out if the portal with all of his memories erased in a whim.

Tai Cheng started analyzing the situation bestowed on him, he also started observing his surroundings.

His observation led t the conclusion that he stumbled in a forest. 

Confused to the fact that he suddenly got here. Everything that relates to the Transcendent Realm has been removed from his mind. Even his memories of his past life has been erased imparting only modern knowledge. With his mind in deep thought, he forgot that he was naked wearing nothing.

"Sh*t I'm naked!!"
Tai Cheng swore as he realizes that he is not wearing something. Then he heard something fell from near his back. He turned around to see a Duffel Bag and a rifle.
"A bag from the sky! with a rifle too!!"

Tai Cheng was surprised to see that a Bag and a rifle has fallen to the sky.  Tai Cheng approached the bag and unzips it. Tai Cheng saw Essential needs for a person to function in their very normal lifestyle to which my situation is not a very normal situation.
The bag contained Food, Water, Two pieces of clothes, and ETC.
The Current Tai Cheng from the distance might look like he is a Homosexual man.

Seeing clothes, he immediately put it on. Later on, He finished putting on his clothes. He then reached out his rifle to observe it.

"HmmHmmMhM, I feel like this a carbine, More in importantly, A M1903 Springfield rifle"

From what he remembers this gun is used in World War I. It uses

Little does he know that he had modern knowledge from his old world. Just by Surfing through the Internet that he would attain information needed for his current situation.

After observing the rifle Tai Cheng was finding a good spot for him to sit on. He also picked up his bag and maybe find something valuable to it.

He searched his bag putting everything aside he found three letters.

" Oh, a letter to whom it kay be?"
He opened the letter and started reading the contents.

When he started reading it he saw the contents of some bit of information about him. Him knowing that he does not know more about his identity is quite a problem already.

The Content Shown in the Letter:

Dear Tai Cheng

          If you saw this letter and the other two it seems that you have obtained your things. Well, the letters I sent you to have the purpose of informing you and your psychic power. It may seem difficult and confusing not knowing what happened to you. Do not worry about this cause these letters that I sent have the purpose of helping you. First of all, is that you died in your last life and came to Transcendent Realm for your reincarnation.  You talked to me and you created miracles for yourself caused by your good karma. There is a catch every soul that passes through the Transcendent Realm erases their memories through their reincarnation. 
______________________________________________

Reading the first paragraph of made Tai Cheng understand a bit of his situation. He became curious about who this being is and what world did he arrive at.

"I feel uncomfortable and it's a bit cold" Tai Cheng muttered to himself 

While reading the letter Tai Cheng felt a bit cold and uncomfortable. He started to wonder why? but then he realized he is not wearing any clothes that could insulate his body.
"Shit!! I forgot I'm naked" Said Tai Cheng

Tai Cheng immediately reached out his hands to pick the backpack. He saw a bunch of shirts, Khaki pants, Underwear, A red Flannel, And a well-tailored Gabardine Overcoat.

He quickly wore all of the clothing leaving only a number of shirts. He continued reading parts of the letter.

2nd paragraph of the letter
______________________________________________

     You may be aware that you have the psychic element that circulates in your body. I may be able to inform you that every element has a skill tree. You can only access your skill tree while being in a state of sleep. There you can analyze your skills and find the best ways to make them improve a lot. I'll also note that the psychic element is a very unique element that controls all types of elemental energy. You may become one of use someday.

______________________________________________

"Cool but I really need to move I may have to stop reading right now it's already afternoon and the evening is coming close"

Satisfied with the information. Tai Cheng Decided to stop reading and prepare for his traveling. He will only read the other letters in the next days.

"I'll pick my backpack and rifle then I'm going"

He picks up his backpack and rifle and walks towards the bushes. walking in the forest made Tai Cheng felt a soothing sense of relaxation. Not being aware that he is in a Mountain forest.

"Ahhhh, it's been a while since I've been this relax"

"Even though I do not remember my past life this soothing feeling is really freshening my mood"

"It seems in my last life I was constricted in living my life, we'll I might promise myself to live better in this life"

With all those thoughts in his mind, he continues his exploration through the forest. 
______________________________________________ 

a while later it was that the evening is near and he had known he has not created a fire. essential for living he has not created fire. Even though he could just use pyrokinesis but he did not muster the requirements for this skill.

"The night is coming near I need to create as soon as possible"

Tai Cheng went to woods and picked up plenty of firewood and timber. The only thing he needed now is to make the fire. 

"Luckily, the bag contains a match, we'll thank you for the one who gave this to me"

Tai Cheng then proceeded to arrange the firewood for its fire to last long. He then sparks the match to his timber this creating fire as he knows it.

"I thank someone who gave this match without the match I would be working ass off again"

He sits to the ground and moves near to fire. He then opens his backpack and continued reading the letters.

______________________________________________

      If you do not know the world you are in to. The world is Rim this world is like your old world but with a big difference between them. Rim contains magic and technology yet having both made them uncivilized and chaotic. With this, the people of this world are not unified yet there is still a number of civilized nations around this world. Some nations are still stuck at the primitive age of humanity while some have reached the modern age. For a tip, I suggest that you Tai Cheng Must travel around the world if you want to make a fulfillment for yourself. well, that's all I can say now. I may also suggest opening those two later they contain some good shit for ya.
  
                                             --Carol

______________________________________________

"So this world is Rim, huh, this world feels like those worlds in that game called Rimworld"

"Tsk, I'm in Real life not in a Game but at least I'm gonna experience adventure at some point in my life."

While in thought Tai Cheng felt that he is being watched but did not mind it as he was in thought. In the bushes near the place where Tai Cheng camped there is some creature that is hiding there to observe Tai Cheng.

It looked at him menacingly, it looked like it was going prey on him. 
Seconds later the creature started to move quietly in the bushes. In the process of doing so, it made the rustling bushes move in an uncommon way. There is no wind so why would the bushes be moving. This alerted Tai Cheng.
He put the letter in his pocket and said something.


"!!?? Hm did I hear something?"

Gen was a high ranking god that was praised by the Hivemind God a.k.a The Creator. Due to his excellent creation and evaluation of worlds.

But an attack from the titans led into the destruction of his worlds. As a result, he lost many of his powers and turned into a wandering god.

So he took his skills of evaluation to help fellow gods in need of advice. 

Welcome To The Tale Of The World Reviewer.

Alexander woke up and started to look around his environment only to realize he was in a cave which shocked him.

Alexander " I thought i would be in a hospital on account of the whole reincarnation and all"

Alexander after realizing he was a kid of about 12 - 13 years old and checking out his body to make sure everything was all right looked around the cave and found a note.

Note: 

" Alexander when you read this I'm sure you should have realized something went wrong well truth be told you are still in the Dc World just the Dino age so all you have to do is live long enough ooooooohhhhhh and that shouldn't be a problem for you because with your body without limits because if you keep training your body at some point your body will stop ageing all together it's a perk of your meta gene plus you have the library of heavens path so coming up with a martial art capable of strengthen your body should be a simple task by the way as an apology for messing up i have also given your body two times the  level  of wolverine's Healing ability.

                                                                                                           - Sincerely Old Man God :) "

Alexander sighed after reading it but he still thanked god for the extra ability because he knew that ability would give him and almost 100% Chance of survival even if the Meteor that took out the dinos fell he would still survive and grow stronger .

First thing Alexander did was to find out what were the current limits of this young body and after finding that out and resting for a good 10 minutes to catch back his breath he went out of the cave in search of water and food .

Three Hours after Alexander left the cave he came back with fruits of all shape and sizes and a make shift flask with water in it. after putting what he gather onto a big leaf on the floor he also brought back he sat down cross legged and entered the Library of Heaven Path pr LHP and got to work coming up with a speed reading technique that could speed up the time he need to read the books to come up with Techniques .

A whole week later he finally created the ultimate speed reading technique called:

[Pinnacle Speed reading Technique :

Read 1000 books in the time it takes you to read one book while also maintaining  the information you have absorbed.

Flaws : 0

 Alexander ' that took sometime ... well with this it's gonna be easier to compile new books and at the rate I'm mastering it, it should be 100% mastered in about another week . Now i need a Technique for physical training , one for meditation so that i don't go insane with all of the years i have to live and being alone ughhhh just thinking about it give me a headache and who know i might be able to gain new powers because of my body's physique and one for combat technique even if i know how to fight from my previous life , it's not bad to have a perfect technique  with no flaws. Now let's start .'

So Alexander commanded his library to bring forth the relevant books needed to develop his three essential manuals .

[5 years later]

Alexander now 18 years old had finally completed his essential techniques to survive in the Dc World.

[Battling Asura Diamond Body Technique :

Flaw : 0
Currently Mastered: 25% ]

Alexander was very happy with these three manuals ,For the last five years he spent preparing the compiled manuals by reading millions of Millions of books , but while doing so he also achieved many other goals which can help his future plans . 

First of all his current strength was enough for him to lift up a 2 ton boulder easily , after he realised this he started using the boulders to speed up the tempering of his body , he also started to hunt some dinos cause he figure he was in this era for god knows how long so he might as well have some delicacies plus he didn't have to worry about poisons because he found out as soon as his body realizes it was poisoned it kicks his meta-gene and regeneration into overdrive .

All Alexander really has to do after he gets poisoned is find a safe place to sleep and by the time he wakes up not only is he fine he has also built up a tolerance to that certain poison . The Cave now has dried meat and a lot of water to go around so for now Alexander decided to just train and battle every day and when he gets a certain amount of strength he will start hunting sea creatures.


[10 Years Later]

Alexander is now in close combat with a a T-Rex his thought process was that he wanted to have some T-Rex meat before he went to have some food from the sea and that is why the battle has been on going for the past 6 hours .

Buttttt.  

Alexander decided it was time to finish this fight so he made a Swift dash with his bronze sword sharpened to an unimaginable degree and ran under the T-rex and with a practiced slash he left a bone deep cut on the T-Rex causing it to fall Alexander using this as a chance ran toward the head of the T-Rex and summoning all the strength he had he hacked at the neck of the creature , then after a few seconds the T-Rex's head fell to the floor with a heavy Thump.

Alexander : " Damn you were a bitch to kill but now that you are dead i shall use your life to make sure I survive and live well so thank you ." 

Alexander looked at the Sun now going down and got to work dissecting the creature.

Alexander Vongola was reborn into the dc world with 5 wishes but the god kind of messed up and sent him way way way back in time to the Dinosaur Era Watch as he Dominates this era and the next while building the most earth shattering Family on earth.

At this time, Yun Xiangxiang did not know that although this small wish was intended to distance herself from this family, it ended up forging an unbreakable bond between them which would only grow stronger over time.
At night, Yun Xiangxiang couldn't take it anymore after not bathing for a few days. Previously, a nurse had already asked her if she needed help in rubbing her body.
However, Yun Xiangxiang did not like the thought of others touching her body. Other than her face and limbs, nobody had ever touched other parts of her body before.
Her hair felt a little oily as well. Yun Xiangxiang asked Shu Yun to help prepare her clothes. After having her dinner and reading a book for a while, she proceeded to take her stuff to the toilet.
"Nobody had used the bathtub before. You may use it." Song Mian raised his head from reading his documents and told her.
"Thank you." Yun Xiangxiang nodded politely.
There was a bathtub in the bathroom. Shu Yun had already told Yun Xiangxiang before that this was Song Mian's private ward.
No woman had ever stayed here before. It was also Song Mian's second time visiting this place. There was also no woman that had ever visited him before, so the female toilet was still brand new.
Other than the cleaners that came to clean the toilet to kill germs and replace daily necessity products, no one else had ever touched or used the toilet.
No matter if it was in a hotel or other places, Yun Xiangxiang never liked lying in a bathtub.
The only exception was the bathtub in her private room, where she could confirm that she was the only one that came in contact with it. Now that she felt weak, and this bathtub was new, she was not reluctant to use it.
As she turned on the tap water, she also opened the cupboard attached to the wall. Inside were a few traditional looking ceramic flasks, which looked exceptionally special. On it were labeled showering skin conditioner, hair shampoo, and a flower essential oil.
Yun Xiangxiang took it and smelled the scent of it. The smell was very mesmerizing, and while the scent was not thick, it was not plain either. It was just at the right spot, which made a woman unable to resist the temptation to smell it.
During her past life, Yun Xiangxiang liked to use an organic white rose essential oil brand. Although it was expensive, it was a really good product to use.
Yun Xiangxiang considered herself knowledgeable in the field of essential oil. However, she was not able to determine the scent of it.
However, since it was placed here, it meant that she could use it. It would be such a waste to not use such a good product.
These kinds of concentrated essential oils would damage the skin if she put too much inside, so she dropped just a few drips into the bathtub.
The bathtub was filled with hot air, with a fragrance circulating the steam. Yun Xiangxiang just finished cleaning her body, and was feeling very tired. The bathroom was airy and warm, which was the perfect temperature. Without realizing it, Yun Xiangxiang dozed off in such a comfortable environment.
After almost an hour later, Yun Xiangxiang still hadn't come out yet. Because of how good the soundproof system was, Song Mian did not know the situation inside.
"Knock knock…" Song Mian knocked the bathroom door lightly.
Yun Xiangxiang was shocked by the knocking sound, and opened her eyes in fatigue. She then realised that the water had no more warmth. Luckily, the weather was warm, so the bathroom was still warm as well.
Yun Xiangxiang forcefully stood up, and covered her body with a towel as she was coming out from the bathtub. All of a sudden, her legs suddenly felt weak, and her whole body fell down.
"Ugh…" Although Yun Xiangxiang managed to grab the sides of the bathtub at the very last second, the leg that did not manage to step out from the bathtub was seriously sprained. The sharp pain caused her eyebrows to frown.
The knocking sound was still ongoing. Yun Xiangxiang knew that the soundproof system was very good, so she held in her pain and walked to the side of the bathtub, and pressed on the emergency bell.
As soon as the emergency bell rang, Song Mian somehow managed to open the door. He immediately pushed the door, and entered the bathtub. At this moment, someone else had also rushed into the room with panic written all over his face.
Song Mian looked at Yun Xiangxiang who was in the bathtub, and gave out a cold order to the person who opened the door. "Spray, ice bag, bandage."
Yun Xiangxiang already tried her best to wrap herself up using her towel in the bathroom. However, her painful expression made Song Mian step forward and carried her.
As he carried her, the first thing that came to his mind was "So light".
As Song Mian carried Yun Xiangxiang back to her bed, someone had already brought a medical kit over.
Song Mian held onto Yun Xiangxiang's feet and looked at her swollen ankle. He then spun her ankle in a special way. Surprisingly, Yun Xiangxiang, who was feeling tense, did not feel the pain get worse.
"No bone fractures, no dislocations."
An ice bag was given to Song Mian, which he then placed over Yun Xiangxiang's ankle.
Song Mian was very gentlemanlike. Other than the bottom of her knees and her head, her other body parts were covered very tightly by her blanket. However, Yun Xiangxiang was in a bare state, and a man was holding her leg. The cold ankle was a great contrast to the hand holding her ankle.
This made Yun Xiangxiang uncomfortable.
"You go out first. I'm still here." It was as if Song Mian saw Yun Xiangxiang's discomfort, he ordered the doctor who sent the medicine to go out.
"But your injury ..."
Before he completed his sentence, Song Mian quietly stared at him. He immediately stopped talking, turned around and left silently.
"Just let the nurse help me ..." Yun Xiangxiang said softly. Although he did not look any different to a normal person, and he even carried her for a while just now, she knew that Song Mian was still recovering. Who knows if his wounds would have any problems later.
If this person with prestige ever suffered any problems, she would not be able to handle the repercussions.
"Your blood sugar is too low. Next time, don't bathe for more than half an hour. Before bathing, you can eat a piece of chocolate." Song Mian interrupted Yun Xiangxiang's thoughts to prevent her from feeling awkward.

He went in to look at the traces just now. Yun Xiangxiang just slipped. However, the leg that was sprained wasn't the one that slipped, as the bathroom had a floor which was slip-proof. This could only mean that Yun Xiangxiang slipped because she lacked energy to support herself.
If the legs are weak after showering, it was either the bathroom was not airy enough, and too much carbon dioxide would cause it. Otherwise, the other reason would be because of low blood sugar.
"Okay." Yun Xiangxiang nodded, and remembered what he said seriously.
Her serious look caused Song Mian's lips to curve softly. "I'll ask someone to give you the medicine tomorrow."
"Thank you." Yun Xiangxiang would never reject the offer. She held her life dearly, and also loved to be healthy.
The atmosphere got better all of a sudden. As Song Mian's gaze laid on Yun Xiangxiang's hair which was covered by her bathing hat, she called Shu Yun in and asked her to blow Yun Xiangxiang's hair dry.
Although it was just a small sprain, but Yun Xiangxiang still felt weak on her limbs, and did not force herself to move. She was super grateful for Shu Yun's help.
After Song Mian placed the cold towel on her leg, he pressed on the swollen part with the suitable strength for about half an hour, and sprayed a medical spray on it. After that, he used a soft but stretchable bandage to bandage her ankle. After that, she lay down on the bed with two pillows supporting her ankle.
"Lie down for half an hour." Song Mian told her. After that, he stood up and brought his own stuff into the bathroom.
Yun Xiangxiang was prepared to feel painful for one or two days. However, she did not expect the feeling of uncomfort to disappear after just half an hour. Even the swelling had completely disappeared, as if she had never sprained it before.
This caused Yun Xiangxiang to feel shocked.
"Don't exert too much force over the next twenty four hours." Song Mian told her before saying, "Sleep early, and good night."


Yun Xiangxiang was a well-regarded celebrity in her previous life. 
This life, she wants to be a proper actor. 
Have a good reputation, rather have nothing than everything and not rely on the words from her fans. The products are quality. Firmly plant her own feet to the ground and only rely on herself to take the throne, step by step. 
Yet, she accidentally got entangled with a world-class big shot.
Ever since then, the world-class big shot followed her on Weibo. He would gift her advanced technological goods for protection. Create rings that no one else can wear but her. He would glorify her family name so he can go through fire to watch over. 
Until he finally embraced her, "It's too dangerous for you. You can only be safe if you become my wife." 
Yun Xiangxiang: ...


Getting onto her bed, Jiali made herself comfortable, moving her body until she was seated against the headboard. Grabbing the pillow that was nearest to her, she clutched it close to her chest. Having a system, being in an alternate dimension, she could barely wrap her head around it all.

Burying her head into the pillow, she closed her eyes and started to listen to what this so-called system had to say:

[This system, as well as others like it, was created in dimension D4 13.41.92, official name Qū qí bǐng. The dimension Qū qí bǐng has advanced farther than a lesser human like yourself could ever imagine. The humans have in the dimension of Qū qí bǐng have evolved far past the need for flesh and blood. There is a more intricate explanation, but this system doubts you would be able to understand. The first evolution of the humans of Qū qí bǐng was becoming energy, after that, the energy transformed into what this system is now.]

"So a system is basically an evolved human," Jiali stated.

[Yes, this system is what humans will become after 3 billion years of evolution.]

Jiali was in awe, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, that after billions of years humans will evolve into invisible systems things. She had always thought that there would be a giant earthquake sinking all the countries in the sea and the humans would become mermaid-like creatures.

As if reading her mind the system said:

[That scenario is probable, not every dimension will evolve the same way the dimension Qū qí bǐng did. For example, dimension S2 43.76.34, official name Bǐnggān, the humans there evolved into bird people.]

"How did you know what I was thinking?" she asked, wrinkling her nose at the thought of the system reading her mind.

[Right now, we are connected at an internal level. You have the option to change that, but as of right now, you do not have enough points for that.]

 Rubbing her forehead with her hand, she asked, "What do you mean points?"

[Please save your questions until this system finishes explaining why this system is here.]

"Alright," Jiali said while clutching the pillow closer to herself.

[After evolving from energy to systems, we learned that we need to feed on achievement to survive, the bigger the achievement the longer we can go without feeding, because of that we systems help lesser dimension humans, who are so passionate about their dreams that even at their last breath it is the only thing they can think of.]

"So my achievements in cooking will feed you, while you will help me fulfill my dreams, basically a win-win situation?" Jiali asked to clarify.

[Yes. That is correct. Since this system's last binding it has gone 500 years without needing to feed. ]

Putting the pillow to the side, she rubbed her eyes trying to take everything in, "Are there different kinds of systems for everything?"

[ Yes, there are systems that specialize in all kinds of different subjects. Anything you could imagine there is a system for it, from acting to zoology.]  

"And you, are a system that will help me come to the best pastry chef in this world?" Jiali asked.

[If it was just this world, the achievement gained would be too low, this system will make you the best pastry chef in at least 364 dimensions.]

"Why only 364 dimensions? I'm not greedy or anything, just curious." Jiali said.

[In most dimensions, humans live longer than the 100 and so years in this dimension, you will never be able to catch up with those chefs. At this point in time.]

Jiali wanted to ask what the system meant by 'at this point in time', but decided to put it in the back of her mind for now. All she knew was that she has a second chance to follow her dreams of becoming a pastry chef, and she wouldn't let it go to waste.  

"What do you need me to do?" Jiali asked, with newfound determination.

[The first thing this system needs you to do is agree to accept this system fully. This system couldn't ask you earlier since you were deceased at the time.]

"What would happen if I don't accept?" 

[If you don't accept this system than this system will unbind itself from you and you will die once again. Do you not accept?]

Shaking her head quickly, she says, "I do accept, I do!"

After the words passed her lips, a series of beeps echoed through her mind, before a glowing blue interface popped up in front of her. This surprised her because it looked exactly like something that would be in a video game. 

[You are fully integrated with this system now, you may now see your stats.]

Still, in a surprised stupor, Jiali slowly reached out her hand and touched her name that was glowing on the almost transparent screen in front of her. Once she did, the screen changed and her full profile was on display.

Name: Fan Jiali
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Mental aptitude: 5/300 [Social Adaptability, Planning and Administration]
Physical aptitude: 4/50 [Physical Strength and Competence]
Achievement: 0/5000
Skill: Novice Baking
System 122211 Cooking Evaluation: Beginner 

After reading her status, she became curious about what the words by mental and physical aptitude pertained to. Clicking on them she began to read:

Physical Strength and Competence: Any job in the culinary world requires long working hours. For pastry chefs, the physical demands are much more requiring early morning duties, possibly at the break of dawn. The work may extend well past late evenings where most of the time you will be on your feet in a hot kitchen environment. Having a lot of physical stamina is essential along with the strength that goes into mixing and manipulating pastry.

Social Adaptability: If you believe that there are no customer interactions involved in the job description of a pastry chef, you couldn't be more wrong. In your role as a pastry chef, you will have to work on your social skills so that you can deal with customer requirements and be able to introduce new desserts in the restaurant that you work in.

Planning and Administration: Menu planning, inventory management, projections and developing recipes based on customer insights require strategic and organizational aptitude. In addition to that, time management skills are equally essential to acquire. Compliance with safety, hygiene and kitchen regulations is also something that a pastry chef has to be well versed in.

Once Jiali finished reading the description, she knew for certain that these are things she would need to become a successful pastry chef. As even more determination flowed through her, she asked, "What do I need to begin, system?"

As the question left her lips the transparent blue screen changed and a mission appeared:

[Mission 1: Become a certified pastry chef: How can you call yourself a  pastry chef without a license? Time limit: One Week. Reward: 400 points & 1 achievement.]

Anna was sitting outside of the house observing the village, there was something that was troubling her.
"I decided to follow you and your ideals…yet I this village is close to my heart. I feel bad when you want to let it suffer…" She started a conversation and slowly turned at Aron.
"You…What happened to you?" Anna saw Aron's change; it was subtle like previously. 
"This is something…I cannot speak about. Don't doubt me. You made your choice! I am fair… Those people will receive their chance in the future. They can decide their fate. I can make the village flourish and I can destroy it." Aron couldn't help them for pretty smile, and he needed strength and money. The weak Samaritan won't secure future for him and his followers.
"Ok. We need to depart soon. Do you know how to ride a horse?" There was a possibility of carrying her on his back entire way, still it wouldn't be comfortable for both of them.
"No… Horses are rare in poor settlements. We had few in village. It was years ago and I didn't have a chance to ride one." Horses stolen from bandits were waiting for their first task, so he decided to slowly implement them in his journeys. 
"Wait here for a moment." Aron rushed into another direction to summon horses outside of her sight. 
A few moments later, he came back with pair of horses. 
'I had few horses in my previous life. Riding isn't so hard…I will try to teach her.' The previous life allowed him to experience many things, and his company was controlling many industries with success. His wealth was gigantic and he could literally buy anything he wanted.
[Skill Horsemanship generated]
Aron displayed her how to mount, ride and control horse. They spent some time and finally Anna could ride horse without his assistance. Anna had some necessities packed in bag, so Aron threw put it on his horse.
"Let's go!" They couldn't travel at maximum speed because of her, so it was peaceful and slow journey.
"What about you and Ian?" Aron decided to ask about simple matter, he knew that Ian still feel something for her. The question was simple. Does she still have some feelings for her lover from the past? 
"It's matter of the past…I have child now…and I am widow…" She started to use excuses to change topic, still Aron knew their secrets.
"You have child with Ian and you buried your fake husband…." She didn't expect him to know such things about them. 
"Don't lie… Tell me if you feel something to that moronic blacksmith." Aron wanted to check if there will be any problems in future. They were important subordinates and if they started argue about every matter because of their unresolved feelings, he would be forced to make some steps to prevent this situation.
"I…still love him… but I am currently widow and he…has a wife…" Tears appeared inside of her eyes, he reminded her about her deepest sorrow.
"Why don't you fight for your love? Are you afraid of villagers? Let me know if anyone bothers you. I will take care of it. You are one of my people! I won't allow anyone to bully you!" In his previous life, he used nano technology to control most of his subordinates. This time, he wanted to try to build the stable master-servant relationship between him and his subordinates. 
'I might control them a little, but I will give them some personal freedom.' He spotted some hypocrisy in his own plan, still there was no other way. Trust and control, it was best way to create healthy organization.
They finally reached the Amber Village, and his fame was faster than him. People already knew about his deeds and many watched him with respect.
"You will live in my mansion. We will talk about your job later." There were many things, and he wanted to do right now. His papermill was working for long time, so there should be big amount of paper accumulated. Clay Village was producing bricks and he wanted to check their quality.
'I was thinking about some entertainment…' Creating something to relieve stress of stupid villagers was pretty easy but hard at the same time. His first choice was simple board games like chess or Ludo. 
'I will prepare those things later…' There were many things to do and stress reliever was thing of lesser priority. 
The paper mill efficiency was great, it produced enough paper for many books. First priority was elementary knowledge like math, chemistry and physics. Aron decided to work on couple books about breeding animals, taming, and archery. His knowledge in those fields was good enough to guide people. 
'I forgot essential part… Most of people cannot read…' Reading in middle ages was rare skill, simple farmers didn't have a need to learn such thing. 
'I need to teach those people…at least reading and writing…' Writing books would be pointless if there was none to read them. 
His decision was simple, use Anna to create class to teach people reading and writing. Aron promised 1 bag of wheat for every person that decides to start learning those essential skills. People who manage learn the skill will receive additional rewards. 
'I will have bricks…I need to create cement.' He had all necessary ingredients for this substance, buildings made of concrete and bricks were way better than simple wooden shacks.
Cement is pulverized limestone, oysters, freshwater mussels or seashells that has been heated to high heat to remove CO2.
Concrete is a mixture of cement, water, sand and gravel.
Mortar is a mixture of cement, water, sand and lime.
The couple of able men got to grind limestone into powder, it will heated up later into cement. He lacked oysters and mussels, still it wasn't so necessary for simple cement. 
'I need to go to city. There are many things that cannot be found around villages.' His wealth was pointless if it couldn't be monetized or exchanged into new things. 
His next target will be conquering Red maple Village, and finishing matters in Copperhead Village. He needed to train his professions to become even stronger.
'I think Carl and Anna can cooperate on teaching new generations.' It was definitely easier to teach kids than adults, and the reason was simple. Children have bigger learning capacity, but they don't have prejudices against the world. Adults have baggage of experience, and they belittle any literacy as it's not necessary for survival.

Chapter 43. The Secret Of The Hourglass, Part IV

Translator: Khan
Editor: SootyOwl


He also mentioned that he had received the gift, so that meant that he would not return it. 

'What does he want to talk about in person?' 

Again, Aria hurriedly and excitedly called for Jessie.

"Jessie!"

"Yes! Miss!"

"Get the letter paper and a pen! I need to write my reply letter!"

Facing her visible urgency, Jessie hurried to bring the paper and pen. As soon as she put them down, Jessie felt complicated feelings as she looked at Aria, who wrote the letter in a careful manner. 

It was a great pleasure for her to regain her beautiful, bright demeanor, since she had been a little nervous lately, but the problem was that it was Oscar who had given her joy. Of all people...

Before she announced the sender to the public, she came to Aria, so only Jessie knew the secret that it was Oscar's letter. However, it was only a matter of time before that information would catch Mielle's ears through their constant exchange. She didn't think there would be any big trouble because Mielle was friendly and benevolent. On the other hand, she was somewhat anxious. Jessie hoped nothing would happen. 

Aria, who wrote an answer in a clumsy but neat style, ordered Jessie to seal it.

"So, send it back to Oscar."

Jessie was so flushed that she sealed the letter tightly with wax as red as her cheeks, which resembled fresh peaches.

Although she could not see what was written inside, with Aria's urging words, Jessie sensed intuitively that the contents would have a bad effect on the mansion.

* * *

Aria either played with the hourglass or immersed herself in reading, unmoved as her birthday neared.

The most enjoyable of all the things she did was to order a good selection of tarts and macarons and then devour them in five minutes. She smiled at Jessie, who was speechless and astonished, then turned the hourglass over and brought time back to before she had eaten everything and repeated the process.

'What could make me happier than eating a lot of delicious food than turning back time to when I hadn't yet eaten?' 

In addition, she would sometimes fill up a bottle of water and go into Mielle's room and pour the contents on her head.

Mielle's face, wide-eyed with embarrassment, was extremely eye-catching. It was somehow pleasant to have Emma's fierce hostility behind her.

'You treat me like a wicked woman, so I'll do something really bad and show you just how bad I am.'

At first, Aria grabbed her by the head, asking her to confess the truth, but she was almost taken into custody as Mielle shouted, "You are insane!" It was not easy to get a full confession out of someone when there was no confession to make yet.

Wouldn't it matter if she poured water on Mielle since she had encouraged her maid to do so in the past? No, it would be OK if she turned the hourglass over.

Of course, if anyone found out about it, they would probably say it was a worthless action, but it was a small pleasure for Aria's dull daily life. She wanted to resolve the sorrows of the past.

So, as usual, she played a small mischief on Mielle with the hourglass and tried to savor the tea afterward. At that moment, Jessie, who had gone to the bookstore to check if the book Aria had ordered had come in, returned with a bright face.

"Miss! I've got the new book!"

"Really? It came in sooner than I thought."

Aria's face brightened as she accepted the new economics book. There were numerous books on economics in the mansion, but they didn't match Aria's standards.

She had tried to understand them somehow in the meantime, but it was impossible for her to comprehend even one page. So, through Jessie, she ordered the bookstore to find a new, easier book, and fortunately, she was able to order a basic economics book that was ready by very young noblemen.

"Miss, would you like some tea?"

"Please."

Since it had been a while since a new book had arrived for her, Aria soon became absorbed in her reading. The reason why she had gotten hold of the economics book was very simple. She needed background knowledge to talk to the count about his business in the future.

There would be a limit to her simply releasing information without any knowledge. He might doubt the source of the information, and her credibility would also drop.

Knowledge of economics and politics was essential because she intended to build her own business in addition to releasing information. That was because there was a limit to sticking to someone's sweet honey. If she were to be discarded, she would lose her head again.

'If they compare a woman to a flower, they treat her like an ornament, but if she has the power to impose herself like any other male aristocrat, she will be treated differently.'

She had heard of such a female aristocrat in the past. She remembered sneering at one, saying, "She doesn't know herself," but it was Aria who hadn't known herself.

'So, now, I have to figure out who I am and build up knowledge.'

Aria was preoccupied herself with reading the new book for a while. No matter how basic the book was, it took her tens of minutes or even hours to turn a page in the absence of a teacher.

Aria, however, did not give up, reading the same page for several days as she tried to understand the contents.

'I wish I had changed my gender when I returned to the past.'

If that had happened, she would have gone to the academy like her half-brother and received education on various topics because it was essential for a male aristocrat to complete his studies there.

Having been born as a pretty woman, she thought there would be nothing to be envious of, but now, she thought that having a pretty face was poison. She hadn't gotten a proper grasp of reality thanks to those who had praised her beauty. She hadn't known that the praise was fleeting, like petals falling off a flower.

She had been looking at what she didn't know for a long time, so Aria, who had started getting a headache, touched her head. Jessie, who brought her a new cup of tea and some dried fruit, waited in the corner and glanced at her.

When Aria noticed that she had something to say and looked at her, Jessie asked what she had been thinking lately.

"Well... miss. I'm sorry to bother your reading, but can I ask you a question?"

"Tell me."

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a quick chat to cool off her head. Aria lifted her cup and answered after taking a sip of the warm green tea.

"Do we really need to simplify your birthday party? I think we can make it a little bigger..."

On her first birthday after her entry into Count Roscent's family, they had invited musicians and entertainers from various fields and had a splendid day.

In particular, when Jessie recalled the screaming and cheering from her master during the magic show when the magician took pigeons out of a hat, she asked again, "Why don't you invite a magician?" 

She seemed worried that she might be scolded after making that simple suggestion.

"No. Just invite a few acquaintances as scheduled, and I'll have a quiet lunch."

Birthday parties were also a showcase of wealth, power and personal connections, so most aristocrats prepared colorful and splendid parties, but the present Aria did not feel the need for that.

It was clear that she, who was a Roscent only in name, would be a laughing stock if she held a big party that was not within her means. Even if it was a place to show off wealth, an excessive display that did not match her level would be laughed at.

"Just be careful about the food. Prepare sweets that would be loved by young ladies of my age."

"Yes..."

She remembered having parties that were grander and more colorful than Mielle's in the past. Even though she had known that she had been criticized from behind for being the blood-sucking parasite on the Roscents, she had had no choice but to do so because she had had nothing.

In those days, she couldn't have borne her jealousy if she hadn't dressed herself up and shown herself that everything was all right. Unlike Mielle, who had grouped herself with great people, there had been nothing for Aria to put forth.

To beat a villainess, you must be even more evil than them.

Aria is killed unjustly by her sister but along with the turn of a illusory hourglass, she is reincarnated 5 years into the past.

She will now live for revenge, revenge against those who drove her into her death. This is the new life she has chosen.
