Devin Thomas was just laying down for bed after binge reading light novels on his favorite app when...

Chin Ju sat down within the Soul Ortation Array spirit circle waiting for it to start-up. He had waited for a full 20 minutes before anything happened until a yellow dim light started to circle around him. He looked toward the other participants that were around him, it seemed that none of them were seeing anything as they were all acting normal as before. He then looked toward the people in the crowd that were showing the same reaction, but when he was watching earlier there was no yellow light, so why is it different for him?

'Is something wrong?' A thought quickly went through his head, but before he could say something the scenery around him already changed.

The yellow light enveloped his body leaving no trace of the people or the crowd that was in front of him. When the yellow light started to fade away enough so, where Chin Ju could see past it, everything was gone.

The only thing that he could see was that it looked like a wall surrounded him on all four sides, almost as if he was in a box. Inside the box a brim light shined out of one of the corners, barely able to keep light within the room. There also seemed to be a forest within the small box with a couple of trees, rocks and twigs.

Chin Ju walked toward the closest wall and touched it trying to see if he could break out, but all attempts were futile. He quickly realized that he was trapped within the Soul Ortation Array.

"Wow this is amazing just a second ago I was within the Soul Dividing School, but it looks like I'm in a completely different place now!" Chin Ju thought that spirits truly are amazing. Just a couple of symbols with some yellow light, and he's somewhere completely different.

"Rooar"

Chin Ju turned around to quickly found a black figure on four legs staring at him. Almost a wolf, but there was no fur on the creature. If anything it's appearance was barely there just perfectly suspending its body. Without any warning the creature started to rush at Chin Ju jumping into the air with its mouth wide open.

Chin Ju was first surprised, but it quickly went away as fast as it came. He ducked down making the wolf figure go over his head as they both switch sides. Chin Ju looked behind him as he quickly started to run at the wolf figure not giving it the chance to attack again.

He had ran up to the wolf hitting it in the back left leg with his right foot putting all his body weight into it. The wolf figure bent both of it legs slightly to absorb some of the impact from the hit, but while it was binding his legs Chin Ju arched his back. Bringing his hand down, and to grab one of the rock's off the floor. Making his hand come up while holding the rock, he made it collided with the wolf figure-head making it fall over to its side.

Chin Ju had brought his leg up and stomped on the head of the wolf figure, making it disappeared. "This  Soul Dividing School, truly is amazing not only did it take me somewhere else, but it even made creature to fight me. Brother was not kidding when he said that it was like making something out of nothing."

"Rooar"

"Rooar"

In thin air another wolf showed up slowly forming its self, but this time another two wolf's follow suit. Making three in totaled, it took fifteen minutes for all three to finally finish through. Chin Ju had plenty of time to attack but what is the point? This is a test to see your power, not to kill something that not even able to attack back.

Two were roaring while the other was already charging at Chin Ju. He threw the rock in his hand to the wolf that was already charging him. Seeing the rock the wolf dodged to the left, getting out-of-the-way, but when it dodged it quickly found Chin Ju right behind it.

Chin Ju moved along the side of the wolf getting out of its view. He then jumped on to the back when he got close enough, wrapping his arm around its neck putting it into a head lock. The wolf tried tossing Chin Ju off, but the grip Chin Ju had on it was not losing even a little. Like a snake the grip seemed to only tighten harder the wolf wiggled Chin Ju off.

"Whosh"

Before Chin Ju could finish it off the other two wolf's had already caught up, one of them jumping into the air trying to bite Chin Ju's neck. While the other was keeping its distance ready to pounce Chin Ju if he jumps off. Even though the wolf's were barely solid that didn't mean they weren't lethal. They had an attack formation that was ready to attack Chin Ju at every turn.

Seeing this, Chin Ju nudged his body, enough where his feet could land firmly onto the ground. Still having the grip on the wolf, he threw it at the other one in midair. He then moved his body down to the ground grabbing a stick.

While he was doing that the two wolves that were in midair landed onto each other landing right next Chin Ju. He grabbed the stick that was in his hand and rose it above his head to then bring it down on both wolf's, striking them.

"Puff…"

Both of them at the same time disappeared out of thin air. The last wolf that was watching all this started to back up a little when it meet Chin Ju's eyes.

"Wow, there almost living things! They don't bleed, but they breath, and when you kill them they disappear. If I ever truly meet one of these spirits I have to learn from them if possible." Chin Ju just couldn't get over these amazing spirits are. Excitement ran though Chin Ju thinking of the new possiblies of this world. 

Chin Ju ran up to the last wolf raising both of his hands together making a V-shape out of his arms and slammed them onto the top of the last wolf head and just like that the last wolf disappeared.

"Huff.."

"Huff.."

If someone were to see Chin Ju right now they would be frighten for a 13-year-old just ruthlessly killed without blinking an eye, but what was truly scary was that he was smiling. He's breathing hard, but he still has a smile on his face.

While Chin Ju was breathing heavy he was looking around him, waiting for the next enemy to show up. When out of no where the air around one spot started to spin making a small tornado. Tossing leaves and sticks up into the air, but to Chin Ju it felt a light breeze.

'Strange normal that would be enough were ill be struggling to stay on the floor but here its like a nice breeze.' Chin Ju couldn't imagen how that was possible.

After a twenty had passed the tornado went away dropping all the leaves and sticks. Standing in the middle was a creature with black armor covering its body with a flat head that had two red eyes. Its sharp teeth were showing that could easily cut straight to bone. The creature was the size of Chin Ju only being the size of a kid but still to Chin Ju that was no different then being a full-grown adult.

"Wow, it can even create an Armor Flex that can only be found in hot areas." Chin Ju has spent most of his time trapped in a room making pills in the way of the medicine. There's been times were they bring 20 to 80 book recording places with information on its terrain and animals. Making Chin Ju very familiar with the plants and animal because some animal can carry very rare medicine on them.

"Its on the first level to Earth Realm." Chin Ju smile grew even more with his fighting spirit. Besides the fight with Lan Xai at the gate he hasn't actually fight anything with cultivation of any sort. 

The fight with Lan Xai was just where he had to hit him which to Chin Ju wasn't even a real fight. If Lan Xai were to know that he wouldn't know rather to cry or to laugh, because of that fight he lost miserably.

The Armor Flex scraped its left leg across the floor ready to charge Chin Ju lifting its head up and down. Chin Ju also getting ready, he reached down grabbing a rock in one hand, and in the other grabbed a sharp stick. With a tree spreading the two the Armor Flex has to run around it or go through it. Either way Chin Ju will be prepared for both outcomes.

Armor Flex bolted to the left side of the tree running full speed kicking up dirt behind it. Chin Ju also ran to the right cutting off the Armor Flex until there was five feet from the two. He then took the rock and throw it as hard as he could into the right eye of the Armor Flex.

The Armor Flex turned its head from the rock slightly enough to dodge it, but who's his opponent? Chin Ju used that opportunity stabbing his left foot into the ground making enough momentum to make a sharp cut to his right. He then took the stick, and stabbed into the knee cap of the Armor Flex.

Making contact with the Armor Flex the stick split into two half's, not even leaving a scratch into the Armor Flex. The Armor Flex turned around and slammed its body against Chin Ju sending him flying into one of the near by trees.

Upon impact the tree split just like the stick that hit the Armor Flex, but unlike the Armor Flex, Chin Ju was throwing up blood and a couple of broken bones. If this was a normal person just getting hit by the Armor Flex would be enough to kill them ten times over, but Chin Ju has a God Body how could it not with stand it.

Chin Ju took his hand to his mouth and wiped away the blood leaving his smile behind it. Right now he looked like a child that would hunt your dreams. He has blood all over him with a smile covering him, and he's only 13. How would that not be enough to scare someone?!

Chin Ju realizing that a stick wont kill it. He switched back to a rock that he got off the ground, but instead of charging the Armor Flex he instead hit it against another rock making both break into pieces. Shacking his head no, Chin Ju grabbed another normal rock, but before he could hit against another rock the Armor Flex charged straight into him.

Chin Ju dodge to the left running away from it. He took the distance that he made and took the rock hitting it against another, but he did the same thing shaking his head no. He then repeat this progress seventeen times with the Armor Flex right behind him and when he had enough room he would hit the rock against another. Finally when it was right he grabbed one of the broken pieces he made from the smashing the rocks. Inspecting the piece that came out it that had a sharp edge running across from it to one end to another.

With the Armor Flex charging this time Chin Ju didn't dodge he instead ran up to it head on. When The Armor Flex was three feet away Chin Ju jumped into the air hopping onto the back of the Armor Flex. Then with his sharp rock he started to hack at the neck of the Armor Flex there is were its weak point is located.

Chin Ju had watched the Armor Flex while he was running around, and he saw that were the Armor Flex turns its body parts its armor around that area well be very weak. So, with all Chin Ju strength he raised the rock and repeatedly started to go for the neck.

What was the Armor Flex, its categorized as a beast how could it be that easy to beat, it tossed and turned around hitting its body against stuff, but it was no hope. Chin Ju already had his legs wrapped around the Armor Flex neck. Even as the Armor Flex was running its body against other stuff making it hit Chin Ju legs it was no hope he wasn't losing his grip even a little.

Finally the beast stopped and fell over with Chin Ju right under its body. Chin Ju tried to get out from under its body but all attempts were no good.

'I have to kill it.' Chin Ju remembered that every time they died they disappear, so with barely any room to move his arms he got them far enough were he could do one final swing. He first sat there for a while getting his breath back then he unleashed the final move.

Chin Ju was the only person incapable of cultivating within a side branch of the Chin Sect where he was abused and locked up to make medicine pills.

Until he met the person that would change it all giving him the opportunity to cultivate, and make him different for the rest of his life.

With this new profound power Chin Ju now had a chance to change his destiny and make his own path.

Follow along as Chin Ju goes against the heavens and turns the ground up.

"I need to go to the library"

Will sighed as he placed a book back on the shelf in the library in his room. Looking at himself in a copper mirror Will laughed.

His hair became darker by a few times, there were even some slight gold streaks in his hair.

I wonder were these gold streaks came from? Anyways, it's been a long time since I have seen my appearance, it's funny though, I was expecting some gigantic change to my appearance and it's only darker hair and some gold streaks. For some reason I actually feel disappointed.

Flexing his muscles in the palm sized copper mirror, Will grinned. 

"At least I am in shape now, it's a nice confidence boost being able to flex some nicely formed muscles"

Looking at the small library in his room Will sighed.

I need to learn more, I guess I have to contact Cecily.

Will left his room and found a maid to contact Cecily after walking around aimlessly for hours, it didn't take much time for Cecily to show up with a curious expression on her face.

"Why did you call me?"

"I would like to visit your library, not for martial arts since they aren't compatible with me anyways"

Asking Cecily about visiting the library, her face took a strange expression when he mentioned going to the library, her face only calmed down when he clarified that it wasn't for martial arts.

"I didn't take you for the scholarly type?"

"I need knowledge in this different world you know?"

"Follow me"

Giving him a curious look, Cecily tried to pry slightly to see what he was looking for. Will's eyes seemed to glow slightly with laughter as he looked at Cecily and gave her an answer that had perfect logic. Not being able to find anything that hinted to hidden intentions she could only lead him to the library.

….

After a day in the library..

"SO MUCH TO READ!"

Looking at the massive library with it's massive shelves surrounding him from all sides, Will felt like someone should have warned him. 
He felt as if he was lied to, the first few rows were all he could see when he came in. It wasn't until after he finished reading the first few rows that he noticed the true size of the library.

One thousand! He's already read one thousand stone tablets, books, and scrolls! Not one thousand of each, just all together, still!

What he read isn't even half of the library!

Rubbing his storage ring between his fingers, it took Will several minutes until something in his mind clicked.

Times ten learning enhancement! Add that to my first learning enhancement potion, that'll probably be a terrifying level of intelligence! I can definitely finish this library in two days after!

With a huge grin on his face he emptied several ingredients from his storage ring, some were just regular herbs that help with focus and blood circulation, while the rest of the ingredients included some pieces of metal and beast parts.

With this I can definitely make such a powerful potion without losing consciousness!

Several moments passed when an extremely powerful scent that caused ones mind to push beyond it's limits wafted out of the library.
….

Some nearby chickens that were digging away at the grass squacked in fear as they felt a buzzing in their minds. Looking around them a bright flash was noticeable in their eyes as the looked at each other with a human-like questioning gaze.

"Come on little chickens~ It's time for dinner and some of you look nice and fat!"

Squack!

….

The scent that wafted out of the library quickly faded as Will drank the potion he made, his body shook several times as his eyes started to glow from the increase in his mental power.

Digging into the next row, Will could hear a faint screaming which he quickly threw to the back of his head.

….

"Stop! I beg of you! Show mercy!"

Screaming while being chased by a bunch of chickens a fatty was panting with snot dripping from his nose as he looked at the chickens in fear.

You might wonder how anyone living in a sect could be chased by chickens without fighting back? It was mentioned before that the sect also has a city of it's own behind it's walls, so there are normal people, or people that haven't been able to make much progress in their cultivation.

This fatty is just a normal person.

The fatty that was previously eyeballing a couple fat chickens with saliva pouting out of his mouth is now being chased by those very chickens and their families.

Even more frightening were the several chickens brandishing knives and other small items that can be used as weapons in their beaks.

In their eyes a mocking light could be seen as if they were telling the fatty "You think we look nice and fat!? You seem like a five star meal all on you own!"

Some onlookers who usually come up and grab some chickens when necessary weren't left out, as soon as the group of chickens noticed the individuals a handful of weapon wielding chickens split from the group and started to pursue them as well.

Screams of fear and extremely sincere apologies towards the chickens could be heard in all directions as the weapon wielding chickens locked onto their targets and took action.

With chaos happening in all directions the fatty was pursued up a hill and up a tree as he shook in fear, looking at the chickens failing to get up the tree the fatty laughed and mocked the chickens between pants.

"You damn!…..Chickens....Fucking…..Flightless!…. Can't even…..get…..up….tree!"

The chickens feathers ruffled when they heard that and glared at the fatty with a very human-like mocking expression as they started to jump onto each other's backs.

Realizing what was happening the fatty's face paled until he looked like a ghost, he turned in preparation to jump from the tree only to find a drop into a deep abyss behind him.

"Noooo!!!"

The chickens let out clucks that sounded like laughter as they started to reach the branch the fatty was on.

An Lin's white robe danced in the wind, and he remained tranquil and calm in the face of the Holy Trinity Fiendcelestial.
He pointed a finger toward the sky, upon which the entire sky was lit up by a golden, divine glow, and everything in this world seemed to slow down and become more sluggish.
This effect also acted on everyone's senses, including those of the Holy Trinity Fiendcelestial. It too felt as if everything within this world had slowed down, and even its own fearsome speed of movement appeared to be as slow as a snail that was crawling uphill.
The dragon head and phoenix head looked up into the sky involuntarily, where the clouds had parted to reveal a divine sword.
The divine sword's radiance lit up the entire world, and countless tiny chains bound themselves over the sword. The chains had the appearance of golden stars, and they obscured the sword so that no one was able to see what the sword truly looked like.
"Ring…"
A sharp ringing erupted across heaven and earth, and it was like a piece of heavenly music to everyone's ears, but a sense of extreme fear welled up in the Holy Trinity Fiendcelestial's heart upon hearing it.
It immediately half-knelt onto the ground as it roared and clamped its hands over its ears.
When it raised its head again, they discovered that the divine sword had well and truly descended upon this world. The hilt of the sword transformed into the heavens, controlling the will of the sky, while the blade of the sword transformed into the earth, sealing and restricting all evil creatures.
Boom!
Boundless, inexhaustible sealing power surged directly from heaven and earth toward the Holy Trinity Fiendcelestial. The countless golden chains bound their body, and the power of heaven and earth pierced through their chest before beginning to seal away all of their powers.
The anguished wails of the dragon head and phoenix head slowly diminished as their awareness grew more and more blurry.
A pair of crimson eyes suddenly opened before staring up into the sky.
The human head had awoken, and it stared up at the divine sword in the sky with shock and horror. "Ahhhh! It's so terrifying! What the hell is this? Brother Phoenix, Brother Dragon, save me!"
However, there was no response from the other two heads. The only response was a golden sword projection that was imbued with paramount power.
The golden sword projection pierced through the human head before merging into its body.
The human head's eyes rolled over again as its head lolled to the side before it fainted.
Another pillar of green light, which was imbued with the power of heaven and earth, descended from the sky before enshrouding the Holy Trinity Fiendcelestial's body like a green cocoon.
The divine sword vanished and silence resumed.
A white-robed man remained standing in the air, and his entire body seemed to be glowing with a dazzling light.
Everyone turned their eyes toward him with differing emotions. However, one emotion was constant among everyone, and that was reverence!
"Such a technique should only belong in the heavens. Mr. An Lin is truly an exceptional talent who is able to summon the power of the heavens!" Su Wenjun exclaimed in admiration.
"So this is An Lin? I had thought that all the legends about him were surely exaggerated out of proportions. But seeing him now, I can clearly see that those legends do not do him justice!" Long Kui was very headstrong and very rarely expressed admiration toward any men, but she had been well and truly won over by An Lin this time.
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying's eyes were rippling with emotion. "A temperament that allows him to remain calm in the direst of situations, and powers that allow him to flip heaven and earth on its head with a single gesture! A man like this presents such an overwhelming sense of security!"
Bai Ling opened her mouth in an attempt to also chime in with some compliments of her own, but she found it too embarrassing, so she quietly shut her mouth.
An Lin clasped his hands behind his back as he pondered how he was going to wrap things up. However, a voice sounded in his head again.
"Ding ding ding! The Realm Creation Evil Vanquishing Sword's third technique, God-Slaying Strike, is ready! You can flex when you're ready!" Black Spirit Snake's joyful voice sounded.
An Lin blinked in confusion upon hearing this.
God-Slaying Strike? He hadn't prepared any lines for an attack like this!
However, he had no way of contacting Black Spirit Snake, so he could only make something up on the spot.
He pointed a finger toward the Holy Trinity Fiendcelestial before speaking in a slow voice, "I have one more sword strike known as the God-Slaying Strike. It summons the power of the Heavenly Dao to strike down anyone who dares to stand before me. Even a god would fall to this strike!"
Everyone's expression shifted upon hearing this. They were astonished that he still had something up his sleeve!
Bai Ling's expression also shifted as she looked up at An Lin with confusion in her eyes.
Whoosh!
A golden divine sword fell from the sky and parted the entire heavens.
It was imbued with boundless sharpness, and everything in its path crumbled before it even descended. This was a true killing technique; it was a sword strike of a God of Slaughter!
An Lin was still pointing at the Holy Trinity Fiendcelestial when he suddenly felt an extremely potent sense of impending doom engulf his entire body.
He immediately knew that something was amiss, and he looked up at the sky just in time to see a golden bolt of lightning pierced through the sky at an extreme speed before tearing through his divine body and puncturing his chest!
This was indeed a God-Slaying Strike. However, it had descended to slay War God An Lin!
"Pwah…"
An Lin felt as if all his internal organs had been pulverized by this sword strike, and the divine sword forced his body to crash onto the ground below, where it left a massive crater before dissipating into specks of golden light.
Heaven and earth suddenly fell completely silent as everyone stood rooted to the spot in shock.
What had just happened? Had An Lin accidentally directed the divine sword toward himself?
Or could it be that An Lin wanted to emulate the Holy Trinity Fiendcelestial's self-mutilation?
The golden light dissipated.
A lithe and graceful woman who was wearing a black dress and had long, black hair that danced in the wind was sitting on top of An Lin.
She held a large golden sword, which punctured the right half of An Lin's chest, and a hint of a smile lingered on her face.
"An Lin!" Bai Ling's expression shifted drastically as she charged toward An Lin.
Even Da Bai, Su Qianyun, and the others ran toward An Lin from the distance!
The woman snapped her fingers and a spatial barrier of over a thousand feet in radius enveloped the two of them.
This spatial barrier seemed to be indestructible, and even Bai Ling was unable to break through it.
"Black Spirit Snake, could you take it easy on my back? It hurts…" An Lin said with difficulty.
"Hehe… was it satisfying to flex like that?" Black Spirit Snake chuckled lightly as her serpentine lower body wound tightly around An Lin's arms and waist, creating an inescapable bind.
That's right. The woman who had suddenly stabbed An Lin was none other than Black Spirit Snake, who had allowed him to flex earlier!
Never would An Lin have thought that his flexing would screw himself over in the end.
"Please forgive me, Black Spirit Snake!"
Even though he didn't even know what he had done wrong, tears still welled up in An Lin's eyes as he implored with a sincere expression.
He knew that Black Spirit Snake had already spared his life and wasn't really trying to kill him. Otherwise, the divine sword would've sunk itself into his heart instead of the right part of his chest.
"A price has to be paid for using my power to flex…" Black Spirit Snake's lips curved up in a smile as she slowly withdrew her sword before putting it away into her storage ring.
Blood gushed out in a frenzy from An Lin's chest, but Black Spirit Snake very thoughtfully placed a beautiful hand over the wound on his chest to prevent excessive blood loss.
"What do you want from me?" An Lin asked with a resigned expression.
"I'm not asking for much…" Black Spirit Snake inched her ridiculously beautiful face toward An Lin's ear as she whispered, "I want your egg!"
An Lin's entire body shuddered upon hearing this.
So that was what she was after!
Outside the spatial barrier, none of the Return to Void Stage mighty figures could hear the conversation between Black Spirit Snake and An Lin, but they could see Black Spirit Snake reaching around for the White Fox Divine Box on An Lin's back!
They finally understood what was going on now. That mysterious woman was also after the phoenix egg.
Wasn't that what everyone else was here for as well?
How dare she skip the queue and reach for the egg ahead of everyone else?
"That b*tch! That's my egg!! I have dreams of drawing the smile of the Death God on that egg!" Duan Hunzi clutched his face with despair in his eyes.
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying clasped a hand over her chest. "My heart is bleeding…"
Crack…
Black Spirit Snake opened the White Fox Divine Box, and the phoenix egg appeared before her eyes.

Jide stared at Musa in shock while Nnenna looked at him like he was an idiot. Musa just smiled at them waiting for this news to sink in.

Nnenna bravely stated, "Musa there are no mages. It's just stories that Jide reads in books, you know make believe."

"Ha ha ha ahah. And I suppose you know everything and have been everywhere in your many years of experience. Let me tell you something, Nnenna, the amount of things you don't know could fill a library the size of this town." Musa said a tad bit vindictively. 

"Now, there is a lot of conflicting history. Some stories say that this is how the world has always been while some stories say the world was different before or has even changed more than once. All I know is about our present world and not the ages that have passed. Mages are humans who have inherited an amazing ability. I will start with the general abilities and then go into the specifics. Generally, all mages are physically superior to regular human beings. They are stronger, faster, keener and live longer. They also heal faster and are usually even smarter when they are in control...I will get to that later. Now to the specifics. Each individual mage has an element they have an affinity, which is not determined by your mageline, that means, it is not hereditary."

Musa paused to grab a book that Jide had never seen before. It was made of exquisite material and was a thick tome that looked prestigious.

"This is the book of my mageline." After Musa said this, the kids were surprised again. "Yes, I am also a mage and my element is darkness. A mage's element gives the mage addition abilities beyond their general stats. For instance, my darkness ability is called dark sight which means I can see clearly even in pitch blackness. However, even if two people have the same elemental affinity, they may or may not have the same ability. For example, people with the fire element could have heat vision, which means being able to see the heat given off, or heat generation, which means their bodies can generate more heat in cold weather or what is called burst, which allows the mage to explode with greater physical abilities for a short amount of time. Finally, two different elements may have similar effects as both the earth and metal element can grant increase sturdiness."

As Musa explained all this, he passed around his mageline tome to Jide to view. Jide took the tome with quivering hands but also excitement as which kid wouldn't want to be special. This feeling was doubly exciting for him being an orphan.

But before Jide could get carried away with his thoughts and while Nnenna was getting a bit jealous but also curious to read the tome, Musa said in a serious voice, "But being a mage, and the effects of the elements, has it risks. Mages have problems controlling their ability... and controlling themselves. For instance before I learned to control my sight I would get splitting headaches in bright light. And...and I still have problems with control hence..." At this, Musa glanced at an empty beer bottle.

The room became very quiet with Jide looking at the tome, Nnenna staring at Musa and Musa watching the empty bottles on the floor.

"Musa, even if I believed everything you just said...why does that have to mean that Jide is a mage. I mean he is not physical stronger than me." Nnenna said, avoiding saying that Jide was weak instead. 

"The ability usually manifests when entering your teenage years and that is because that is when you start getting nourished by the elements. It is the nourishment of the elements that provides the improved physical abilities and it differs from element to element and even among elements." Musa responded.

"So what is my ability." Jide finally asked.

"Now, that is a good question. If my guess is correct it is one of the rarest elements and abilities. Your element should be time and your ability is called clairvoyance. You see possibilities of the future. Now what is most important is making sure your vision does not come true or those strangers, whom I suspect are also mages, do not realise what you can do. I think the best thing is for you to pack what is important to you and bring to my house so you can run at a moments notice...I am sorry, my ability is not really for open, upfront confrontations against other mages... so this is the best plan I have."

The two males continued planning while Nnenna, who was sceptical, was advised to be ready as well and if possible get her family to travel.

...

Back at the inn, as Uncle Emeka was complaining about his nephew not doing his chores for supper, the old man was alone in his room as Nze had gone out to find Danjuma and Osaze. He was dressed only in a wrap around his waste while he did a complex exercise routine as slowly as possible to tense and flex all the muscles in this body.

He was covered in scars from head to toe with a particular scar near his heart that it was a mystery he survived. However, what was most remarkable was that the sweat that formed on this body was reabsorbed.

Much later, when he was done with his exercise, Nze walked into the room. 

"Master, I didn't find them but I left a message where we agreed they should start searching the ruin by tomorrow. We will definitely find it this time and then you would make does old men pay."

"Enough, don't talk about them...those old monsters are no easy meat." Nze's master croaked.
 
"I didn't see that boy." Nze added.

"I know you want to grow our strength as much as possible but we will not need to resort to kidnapping awakening mages. When we find it...people will flock to our banner."

The old man looked up with glee while Nze watched him with worship.

Jide finally returned to the inn just before it closed. At this point, Nnenna had already been home and was talking to her parents, trying to convince them to take a trip with no luck. She was sent up to her room and didn't even notice that the sphere had grown to the size of a babies head. Outside the inn, Musa was a shadow in the darkness, keeping a vigil.

...

Meanwhile, a gigantic man, who seem to be at home with nature, was squatted on the ground observing a scattering of sticks, leaves and stones that directed him to a note stuck in a tree. After reading it, he returned to his camp to his companion, who was playing with a couple throwing knives. 

"It's time to work."

After the last epoch humanities connection to the magepool has been severed and no one has seen a magical beast since. 

It is the era of the internal mages as the nature of magic is now limited to the body. 

External mages who could harness the magepool and affect their environment are a thing of rumours and, even the internal mages, struggle with control...

....however, there is a legend...a legend that once a mage binds a magical beasts... this connection can make the impossible possible...

...And in a small town in the middle of nowhere, two children stumble on a discovery that will change their lives and their world forever.

The warm fire crackled in the fireplace beside me, as I sat back in my comfy chair in my dark study. I flipped through the pages of my tome before I sat it down on the small table beside me.

 
I had finally finished reading everything in Loci's personal library when I decided to activate the console of my Faith System.

 
Two rotating circular constructs popped up in front of me their circles of divines runes turning and intertwining together like abstract gears.

 
I stuck my hands and forearms into the constructs, then gasped as I felt the sheer power of being connected to the Faith System, of seeing the whole of Ethereal's Creation.

 
Then the rush of my followers' mana hit me. 

 
It. Was. Exhilarating. 

 
The sheer POWER of having so many mortals praying to me.

 
As the rush died down I got to work answering prayers, seeing my mortal followers through the faith construct.

 
......................................................

 
Jay Night The Immortal Emperor of Humanity sat on his throne, speaking with his Imperial Advisor.

 
Jay, "Are you sure you don't need me to intervene?"

 
Imperial Advisor, "Your Imperial Highness, I can assure you that we have the trade deal with the dwarves handled. 
There may have been a few hiccups but we have it under control."

 
Jay, "Huahhhh, very well.
What happened with the Wildes Slave Rebellion in the Regal Empire?
Were our agents successful?"

 
Imperial Advisor, "Yes, the rebellion was a success. 
Your agents have also managed to safely guide the former slaves into the Wilde Kingdom."

 
Jay, "Good.
Now about the Colonies on the Southern Continent."

 
Imperial Advisor, "Everything is proceeding smoothly the conflict from travelers coming through the Worldgate has ceased, thanks to our military and the World Gate is completely under our control.
As long as our settlements stay a mile away from the World Gate, the Gate Keepers take no action."

 
Jay, "Good.
Appoint my Eldest Son Imperial Prince Wilhelm as Regent of the colonies.
It should give him important governing experience, not that he'll need it."

 
Imperial Advisor, "Yes, your Imperial Highness."

 
Suddenly a guard burst through the doors to the throne room and yelled, "Your Imperial majesty a D-D-DRAGON has appeared overhead!!!!"

 
The doors closed behind him once again are opened this time by a first-generation sentient fire dragon, in her human-like form.

 
Her appearance was that of a beautiful voluptuous ruby red-haired woman with pale skin, horns of smooth ivory curled around the crown of her head from the back their tips pointing forward. Her forearms, hands, lower legs and feet were covered in ruby red scales, where one would have nails she instead had dark red talons. From above her buttocks between the top edge of her cheeks was a long arrow tipped dragon's tail covered in ruby red scales. From her back sprang forth two massive ruby red dragon wings.

 
Her irises glowed like fire around her black narrow slit-like pupils as her eyes scanned the throne room and locked onto The Immortal Emperor Jay Night.

She grinned revealing he large fangs on her top and bottom rows of teeth.

 
With a sultry and sensual voice with a passionate edge she spoke as she approached his Imperial Highness, "I have been searching long and hard for a worthy mate, when I heard news of an immortal human, immune to magics and with strength enough to kill an Advent of Ethereal himself.
Oh, how this news made my loins purrrrr.
And now finally! 
I have found you!
So now I only have one question for you, you wanna mate for life?"

 
She finished with a horny grin as she had managed to make it all the way to his throne and mount his lap.

 
She caressed his face, with the back of her hand, as she stared into his eyes and waited on his lap for his answer.

 
With serious and focused thought Jay thought of how over millennia he always outlived his wives only his children and his loyal vassals who managed to cultivate sufficient mana to prolong their life, there to comfort him in his grief. 

 
He thought of how his last wife died a century ago and how he may finally have a chance to marry a wife he won't out-live.
Thus with a tired heart, hope in his soul and a thoroughly excited member, he said one word, "Yes."

 
He then proceeded to deeply and passionately kiss his new Empress, as he proceeded to take her on his throne, while everyone else awkwardly exited the room.

 
It was later known that the dragon's name was Rasha a wild dragon who had never left the Western Continent and knew not of the dragon settlements on the Northern Continent.

 
It was through her that many dragon-kin on the level of an Old Dragon's dragon-kin offspring were born, though their mana affinity was lower than such dragon-kin they made up for it in sheer physical power and innate energy resistance. Although they did still have high mana affinity thanks to their mothers blood in their veins it just wasn't as high as an Old Dragon's dragon-kin offspring.

 
................................................…

 
I watched through the Faith System as a young elven woman ran from a group of elven bandits in the forest near where I once seeded my first demigod child.

 
I loved helping these kinds of worshippers because when I finally did intervene they gave even more mana throughout their lifespan in their prayers than any other.

 
Truly the mana from life-saving gratitude was most delicious.

 
I watched as the woman ran through brambles and thorns tearing at her dress and the bandits slowly cornered her.

 
When it was clear there was no way out and the bandits encircled her she kneeled and began to pray.

 
All I had to do flex my will and a beam of mana from the Faith System crashed down onto the bandits.

 
I relished the feeling of the woman's mana as her gratitude funneled through her prayer.

 
I exhaled and looked down at the elf woman and realized the whole situation had gotten my blood pumping.

 
I looked down at the elf woman noticing her astounding beauty and my mind filled with lust, as I decided to descend and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

 
I descended from the sky somewhat slowly in a beam of blue light.

 
The elf woman bowing in worship the feeling of her mana further heightening my lust.

 
I lifted her chin and spoke sweet nothings into her ear as her eyes glazed over in reverence as I took her right then and there, her mana further heightening my pleasure. 

 
................................................…

 
Before returning to Deus I hovered above the atmosphere staring at the Eastern continent, I brought up the console of my Faith System linked to it.

 
Through the Faith System, I saw a group of beautiful human women disrobing as they danced at night in the light of the dimmed Styx.

 
They had worshiped me and called out my name in a circle of divines runes, fine wines and expensive fruits surrounded them within the circle, as they offered themselves to me.

 
Relishing the opportunity I descended into the forest on the rural east coast of the Human Empire.

 
Once descended I partook of the pleasures the mortals had to offer.

 
................................................…

 
I watched the "God" Razyl from the darkness as he partook of the women of his cult, making sure nothing went wrong in the process.

 
When they were done and the false god had ascended back to the forbidden world, the women put back on their robes and formed a group walking into the forest back toward the settlement.

 
As I followed from the shadows one broke off from the group with some excuse to the others and walked towards me into the darkness.

 
I spoke, "All according to plan?"

 
The woman, "Yes he never suspected a thing.
That fertility potion you whipped up has already done its work I can feel it.
I'm already pregnant and I didn't even have to wait three days for his seed to fertilize my egg."

 
"Good.", I said

 
I reached out toward her stomach, red energy crackling between my fingertips.
Already I could see the sign of her stomach becoming distended. 

 
I spoke again, "The child should be born within the month."

 
The woman caressed her stomach, smiled and said, "Hail Or'crox."

 
"Hail Or'crox.", I replied.

I have this story on Webnovel.com Scribblehub.com and Royalroad.com I have deleted my series on Tapas.io I am on P A T R E O N, besides these websites I have not published this story anywhere else.

Ethereal.

A Primordial Storm.

A Hyper-Sentient Being A God?

No.

But his creations seem to think so?

Whole worlds sculpted from his own body.

Countless denizens living and breathing on and within his worlds.

Immortal Powerful Overseers descended from one born in the primordial Origin.

Massive Guardians Dragons that birthed all dragon-kind.All serving you, all look up to you.

Yet you say no, you are not a God.

Because I am not.

I can be hurt.

I can be killed.

I have limits.

My Power is Finite, not Infinite.

Thus I am not a god.

I used to think It was only me in the void, but I am not alone.

"Eksperto?" Nagulat si Zhang Xinjie. Maroon namang ilang magagaling na pangunahing manlalaro ang kalabang hukbo pero isinama na ni Zhang Xinjie ang mga ito sa kanyang mga kalkulasyon noong inayos niya ang kanyang hukbo. Hindi dapat madaling daan ng ilan lang na pangunahing manlalaro sa kanyang progresibong bumabagsak na pandepensang pormasyon.
Sa tamang daan na pinapangunahan ni Ye qiu. Maiintindihan ang mahirap na pagpigil sa mga kalabang hukbo sa panig na iyon pero anong eksperto ang agad na makakalusot sa kanilang mga depensa? Noong una, plano ni Zhang Xinjie na pumunta sa kanang bahag para personal na kalabanin ni Y Qiu. Matapos ang sandaling pagaalinlangan, pinangunahan niya ang kanyang Misty Mountains sa kaliwang daan.
Ang mga depensa sa kaliwa ay nawasak na. Kinuha ni Zhang Xinjie ang lahat ng makikita niya at madaling tumingin sa paligid. Napunta sa isang direksyon ang kanyang paningin. Bahagyang natulala si Zhang Xinjie. Ito ba ang laro o ang Alliance? Nanaginip ba siya? Ano bang petsa ngayon?
Talagang tinignan ni Zhang Xinjie ang kalendaryo, taon, buwan at araw. Nasiguro niya na hindi pa nawawala ang kanyang mga mata. Hindi ngayon ang araw ng Propesyonal na labanan. Kahit na ito nga, hindi dapat siya makakaramdam ng pamilyar. Dalawang karakter sa harap niya ay may ibang pangalan at ibang equipment pero ang kanilang mga hugis ay tumpak sa imaheng nasa isipan ni Zhang Xinjie.
One Autumn Leaf. Dancing Rain.
Ang Best Pair ng Glory. Kahit na hindi naipanalo ang Kampeonato ng Glory, palaging napapanalunan ng dalawnag ito ang award ng walang kahit na anong kompetisyon. Mayroon din kanya kanyang tandem ang ibang team. Maaaring lamang sa nakakarami ang mga tandem na ito pero talagang hindi sila papantay sa tandem na ito. Kada may pagmimilian ng Best Pair, ilan ay maaaring magkaroon gn boto pero hindi nga rin masasabing paligsahan ito. Ang pinakamalapit nilang kalaban ay Ghostblade Dou ng Team Void na sina Li Xuan at Wu Yuce. Pero hindi aabot ang kabuuan ng boto nila sa kalahati ng boto na natanggap nina Ye Qiu at Su Mucheng. At sila na ang pinakamalapit. Maaaring mas malalim pa kaysa ibang manlalaro ang impresyon ni Zhang Xinjie s tandem na ito.
Dahil karibal ng Team Tyranny ang Team Excellent Era. Sa unang tatlong taon ng Glory Alliance, dalawang team ang nagharap sa bawat isa sa Finals ng tatlong beses. Sa pangawalang Final ang pinakamatindi. Sa kasamaang palad, tatlong beses na natalo ang Team Tyranny at tatlong taong magkakasunod ang nakamtan huling tawa ng Team Excellent Era, Ang pinakamadilim na parte ng kasaysayan gn Team Tyranny ang tatlong magkakasunod sunod na kampeonato ng Team Excellent era.
Noong dumating si Zhang Xinjie sa pang apat na season ng Team Tyranny. Madali niyang natanggap ang kasabihan ng Team Tyranny: Matapang na umabante. Talunin ang Excellent Era. Talunin si Ye Qiu.
Sa taong iyon, sa wakas nakamit rin nila. Sa pangapat na season sa finals, natalo ng Team Tyranny ang Excellent Era. Talagang isa si Zhang Xinjie sa rason ng kanilang pagkapanalo. Sa taon na iyon bagong manlalaro rin ang dumating sa Excellent Era. Siya at si Zhang xinjie ang naging parte ng tinaguriang Gintong Henerasyon. Ang pangalan niya ay Su Mucheng. Isang babae at napakaganda rin. Sa puro lalaking Glory Scene, talagang maganda ang kanyang pagsalubong rito.
Ang ikinakislap pa ng mata ng lahat ay hindi lang pandekorasyon sa gilid ang magandang babaeng ito. Ang pagkakaisa niya at ng Mala Diyos na si Ye Qiu gn Excellent Era ay napakaganda na para bang iisa lang ang utak nilang dalawa. Maaaring nanalo sa kampeonato ang Team Tyranny, pero hindi maitatanggi na sa dalawang ito ipinarangal ang Best Pair.
As for Team Tyranny, although Zhang Xinjie and their ace player, Han Wenqing, coordinated well with each other, Clerics played a support role on the team, limiting their scenes shown together. As a result, it appeared as if they had fewer moments of brilliance.
For the next three years, Zhang Xinjie saw these two win the Best Pair award again and again. Team Excellent Era was Team Tyranny's rival. Even though neither of them appeared in the finals again since that season, the sparks between them never lessened.
Who could have a deeper impression of this Excellent Era duo than Zhang Xinjie? Not even Han Wenqing did. After all, Han Wenqing had fought against Ye Qiu alone during the first three finals. Even after Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng paired together, Han Wenqing still attached more importance on Ye Qiu.
Ever since Zhang Xinjie had entered the Alliance, the foe he worked hardest to defeat was these two. Losing to them was even worse than losing ten other matches for Team Tyranny.
He had an extremely deep impression of them. Zhang Xinjie didn't know how long he had spent studying these two. As a result, although it may have just been a glance, he felt a sense of familiarity. In the blink of an eye, One Autumn Leaf and Dancing Rain appeared in his mind. He soon cleared his mind and saw that this Battle Mage was called Let There Be Light, while the Launcher was called Chasing Haze.
Chasing Haze.
As Ye Qiu had begun to receive all sorts of attention, this name came up frequently from the big guilds. There had been a lot of debate over who actually played this Launcher. However, her relationship with Ye Qiu wasn't shallow. This was the one point everyone agreed on.
Who was she?
Zhang Xinjie had always suspected.
He soon got his answer ten seconds later.
Su Mucheng. The person playing was definitely Su Mucheng. And that Let There Be Light must be Ye Qiu.
Ten seconds was more than enough to make a definite conclusion. Don't forget that these two had won Best Pair four years in a row and that they beat their closest competitor by enormous margins. If they weren't so unique and unmatched, how else
could they have won the award year after year?
Their coordination together couldn't be replicated.
Even though One Autumn Leaf was still a part of Excellent Era and the one behind the character, Sun Xiang, was also a top-tier God, there was zero synergy between him and Su Mucheng.
In these ten seconds, Zhang Xinjie was certain that these two were Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng. There was no mistake.
The Battle Mage charged forward while the Launcher provided support. The coordination between these two was the same as ever. No matter how bad Excellent Era's records may be, these two had never changed. Even though Ye Qiu had left the pro scene for seven months now, when the two appeared together on the battlefield again, Zhang Xinjie felt like nothing had changed. This was why he checked the data.
"Flex team, to the left!" Zhang Xinjie decisively ordered.
If Ye Qiu was on this side with Su Mucheng assisting him, this side should be where he should emphasize all his defenses towards. What was going on with the right side though? Maybe Ye Qiu had guessed what he might set up, so he had formulated a counter for it. Did he want to use the brief advantage seized to decide the entire battle?
However, there was still time to adjust.
Zhang Xinjie was confident. He had come with Tyrannical Ambition's elite troops this time. Their coordination and strength were better than the temporary team that he had come with last time. When he switched which side the flex teams would support, he had explained his actions to the right side. He believed that these in-game players wouldn't make any huge mistakes.
"Pull back." Zhang Xinjie ordered.
Even though he found which side he should prioritize, he couldn't just ignore the right side! To what extent had Ye Qiu planned ahead? Zhang Xinjie couldn't wait to see. He decided that both sides should pull back, so he could get a better picture of the situation and command both sides at the same time.
"Clerics, focus. Knights, forward. Use Provoke and Roar to CC Let There Be Light and
Chasing Haze. Troops, go between these two and attack. Try and split them up. Focus your attacks on Chasing Haze for now. Qi Masters, use Cloud Grasping Fist whenever you find an opportunity." Zhang Xinjie gave a string of orders, completely towards these two. He had to admit that this Best Pair was scary, but Zhang Xinjie was sure that he could deal with this pair, which he understood well. If it wasn't for the enemy side having a lot of troops as well, Zhang Xinjie wouldn't feel like this Best Pair would be a threat.
"Right side, continue pulling back a bit more. Flex team one, team two provide assistance on this side. Disrupt their attacks from the side." Zhang Xinjie paid attention to the left side, while also taking note of the right side.
Flex team one and two faithfully completed his instructions and struck from the side. The effects were outstanding. A tear instantly formed in the enemy troops. It looked as if they would break. The two team leaders were excited. They planned on penetrating deeper and completely splitting apart their troops. Zhang Xinjie saw the positions of their troops after being split apart and suddenly felt his heart leap.
"Team one, team two, retreat! Don't go any farther!!" Zhang Xinjie hastily shouted.
But he was too late. The two team leaders impatiently charged in. When they received Zhang Xinjie's warning, they didn't dare to hesitate and immediately retreated, but the other side's ruptured formation suddenly snapped back like a pair of scissors, pincering them. The players, who had been scattered, returned to attack, giving the two teams a difficult time.
Fortunately, Zhang Xinjie's warning had put them into a retreat already. If they had gone any deeper, they would have certainly been wiped out. Even so, team two lost six players and team one was was practically destroyed.
"How did things turn out like this?" Zhang Xinjie was astonished.
His move to attack from the side had been a decision based on the current situation of the battle. No matter how great Ye Qiu might be, there was no way he could have predicted so precisely that this battle would turn out this way. The other side had clearly lured them in deep. That was a very fast and directed reaction. It wasn't something an in-game player could easily accomplish.
A normal player might be able to react based on the current circumstances, but such a quick countermeasure and such adept awareness was something only a professional player possessed.
At this moment, Zhang Xinjie saw a Mechanic on the right side. His equipment might be poor, but he was very skilled. Anyone with some skill could instantly tell him apart from the rest of the troops. This person wasn't only attacking. He would fight and then stop to move a few steps from time to time. The places, where he moved to, were places, where he could see the battlefield.
"Mechanic… It can't be?" Zhang Xinjie suddenly felt his head begin to hurt.


Sa isang larong online na Glory, si Ye Xiu ay kilala bilang isang mala-Diyos na manlalaro't walang kahit na sino man ang nakakapantay sa karunungan niya sa laro. Gayunpaman, dahil sa ilang mga dahilan ay nasipa siya mula sa kaniyang team. Matapos lumisan, siya ay nakahanap ng trabaho bilang tagapamahala sa isang Internet Cafe.
Sa mga sandaling binuksan ng Glory ang kanilang ika-sampung server, siya na may halos sampung taong karanasan sa laro ay muling magbabalik. Kasama ang alaala ng kahapon, at isang hindi kumpleto't self-made na armas, ay muling magsisimula ang kaniyang daan papunta sa tuktok!
Matapos ang mga madugong labanan, at nakakasindak na patayan, sino ang nagnakaw ng aking kadakilaan? Sa ilalim ng bagyo’t delubyo, magiging para bang hindi nawasak ang aking mga pangarap.
Sa liwanag nito'y hindi mababalutan ng kadiliman ang daan. Sa ilalim ng mga mata ng lahat, dito magsisimula ang aking daan para sa kadakilaan!



Jessy went down to the core in his father's workplace. She found her father conducting a meeting with his men in the holding point of the mining ground.
She sat down on the chair at the back.
Fifteen minutes later, her father was done with his talking and dismissed his men.
Hector saw his daughter and approached her. "Jessy, where's your mother?" he asked.
Jessy greeted his father with a quick hug. "It's just me, Father."
"You want to see me in action mining the gold, eh?" Hector smiled at his daughter fondly.
"Not really, Father. But if you allow me I can spare a few minutes watching you while you work, that would be pretty interesting," she said.
"Okay, let's go!" Hector said.
Jessy walked beside his father as they go deeper into the tunnel of the mining site.
"How many years before the supply of gold will run out, Father?" Jessy asked curiously.
Hector looked at her daughter pondering about her question. "I have no idea, if we can no longer see any gold deposits around here then that will be the end of the mining business here. So far so good, every time we dig new tunnel there's always gold everywhere, the supply of gold here is endless, but I know that one day it will end somehow...somewhere."
"Dad, the reason why I'm asking you about this is we need huge money to sustain the clan's needs, once the rest of the 5k vampires will relocate into The Habitat, the population will explode, the more people living in that place the more the financial strain will balloon up. And you know... those single vampires will marry one day and have children of their own. You understand what I mean, Father?" Jessy said.
Hector nodded his head. "Of course I understand what you mean my child. The King, the Queen and I already discussed that matter two months ago. The royal couple had invested a lot of money in several business ventures run by Ruth and Ruby's company through the years just for this single purpose. Once the royal couple finally turned into mortals and acquired mortal identity then those businesses will be transferred into their names. The profits from those businesses will fund The Habitat to keep it sustainable in the long run, besides, as long the gold will exist in this ground we will keep mining it so that we can have enough gold reserve for future needs," Hector explained.
"There's also new building being currently built in The Habitat and it will serve as a school building imitating the human beings school so that the children can have a proper education and they can easily be integrated into the mainstream society," Hector added. "The classes for children will start in the next five months and Ruth's company hired humans teachers to educate our kids. Once the children will start high school and go to college they will be attending the normal school, that would be six to seven years from now."
Jessy smiled. She never had normal schooling when she grew up, she learned a lot through reading, browsing the net and with one on one teaching from her teacher online. That's the only exposure she had when it comes to proper education.
"So, Father...what will happen if the outside world will know of the gold deposits down here?" Jessy asked in a worried voice.
Hector wore a grim face. "The core is a top-secret among the vampires, only trusted individuals know of the gold deposits here. Once this information will leak into the outside and will reach the greedy individual's radar, everyone will be clamoring to find this place and they will start raiding this mining site and you already know what's gonna happen next, we will have more enemies than we can count on our fingers, chaos will ensue for sure. It's has been known that humans have a greedy nature, they will do anything for money."
Jessy was silent for a moment.
"When everyone is relocated to The Habitat, will you and your men continue mining this gold site?"
Hector nodded his head. "Yes, of course. As long there is gold underground and there is a demand for gold then the mining continues until no more gold left to harvest."
"But you and mother will go back to the mansion and travel the world, how can you still work here?" she said.
"I won't be traveling the world every day, only a few days, probably three to four times in a year...then the rest of the days I will still be working here. I will train someone to supervise the mining site while I'm on vacation. When that time comes, I will be implementing the new rules, they will only work five days a week so that the workers can have two days rest to spend with their family and loves ones. As of now, we are working round the clock here in rotation because there are too many idle vampires who love to work, they're getting bored out of their minds, the mining site is one place they love to flex their muscles with."
Talking with her father is entertaining but Jessy has to go back to the clinic 'coz her break time is already over. "I love talking to you, Dad, but I can no longer continue sightseeing within the tunnels because I need to go back to the clinic. I'm actually here to ask something from you Dad..."
Hector gave her daughter a quizzical looked. "What is it, child?"
Jessy whispered something into her father's ears. "I need some gold father, the finished product... the polished ones," she said.
"Why?" he raised his brow.
"I'm going to give them to Adam so that he can bring the gold to the jewelry maker and make a gold bracelet for my hands and my ankle...you know girls stuff," she grinned.
Hector smiled. "Ah, okay, no problem. Come with me to the polishing area. There are lots of gold in there ready for sale or be made into a piece of jewelry," he said.
They went back to the holding area and entered a door. Inside the room, there were bags and plastic storage boxes were the refined gold products were stocked.
Above the table are golds of different sizes that glittered under the light.
"Wowww!" Jessy's jaw dropped. She'd never seen so many golds in her lifetime. They looked golden and shining brightly...so dazzlingly beautiful! She ran her hands on the polished metals.
Hector picked up a small black pouch and placed it in his daughter's hands. "Here you go, you can put many golds as you can in that pouch, it's all yours," he said. "You can come back for more if you want..."
Jessy grinned from ear to ear. "Thank you so much, Dad!" She began filling the pouch with gold until it nearly burst out from its content. Jessy put back the excess gold in the table, she looked at the pouch, feeling satisfied she's ready to leave.
"I will go back now to the clinic, Dad, bye!" she said.
"Bye daughter!" Hector said.
She planted a kissed on her father's cheeks and teleported into her room in the facility. Inside her room, she placed the golden pouch beneath her clothes. She will give some of the gold to Aston's family so that it can help sustain them for the time being because Suzanne still has no permanent job.
It's the least she can do for Aston's family.
She went out of her room walking briskly towards the clinic.

Two Years Later

"Are you sure about this?" Father asked.

"Yes father." I replied.

It has been two years since I've come to this world, two years since I became Christina.

These past two years have been kind to me.

Now standing at 4 feet, with silver hair, porcelain skin, and eyes as dark as night. I have abused the devil's natural talent for shape shifting and turned myself into a true loli in a white Gothic dress.

Loli is justice.

In terms of power, I have grown exponentially. As it turns out, Power Manipulator's charges do recharge, albeit at only one per day. And that means infinite power-ups.

Full elemental manipulation, temporal and spatial manipulation, conceptual manipulation, causal manipulation, barrier/boundary manipulation, biomancy, healing, and bunch of other powers.

My body is tougher and stronger than post-series Sairaorg. My speed is faster than Vali, and my power is comparable to the Oroboros Dragon and the Dragon of Dragons.

Only Father knows about these fact.

I have received my Evil Pieces a few months ago, with my queen, rook, and two pawns being mutated.

Now it's time for me to gather my peerage. And I'm not limited to this universe only.

Kaleidoscope, a power on the same level as Power Manipulator. It allows travelling through dimensions and multiverses. The original version being wielded by a certain Bloodsucker who pushed back the moon only allows travel and manipulation of local dimensions, and the ability to connect with alternate selves. My version allows me to travel to other realities.

These past few months, I have used all my charged to make and boost this ability. Effectively slowing down my growth to a near halt.

"Just be careful." Father once more engulfed me in a hug.

"I will father." This time, I didn't resist and waited until he released me.

With a nod, I willed my power, forming a portal that shimmers in a kaleidoscope of colors.

"And remember, return after a year. I don't care if you still haven't finished forming your peerage, or if you have any unfinished business. Promise me you'll return."

"Yes father. I promise on my name as the firstborn daughter of the Satan Asmodeus."

"Very well, good luck Tina."

With a nod, I took a step into the portal.

And emerging in a scene of bloodbath.

"Hey, hey, hey, Are you a demon missy? You are too pretty to be a demon?" A deranged voice asked me.

Ryuunosuke Uryuu, a crazy psycho killer and was supposed to be Master of Caster in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

'Was' being the key term. With a flex of my magic, the command seals jumped from his hand to mine. And with a flick of my finger, Uryuu's blood skewered him from inside out.

Now for the summoning.

Using the power of the 'Hole', I punched a hole through space. A page from a book fluttered from the hole and into my hands. I promptly dismiss the 'Hole'.

Then, I placed the page into the center of the circle. Changing my energy into prana, I inject it into the summoning circle made by Uryuu.

And since I always wanted to do this...

"Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill
Let the vessel be filled five folds
Simply tearing one asunder for every filling"
I hereby proclaim,
I shall attain the virtues of all heavens
I shall embody the sins of all hells
If you adhere to my will, to my reason
Submit to the beckoning of the Grail!"

With a flash of light, a colorful book materialized into the center of the circle.

"Hello to the wonderful you! I am Servant Caster, Nursery Rhyme! Let's make this a happy dream!" A childish voice emanated from the book.

"Likewise, Rhyme. May I call you that?"

"Hehehe! Silly Master, you can call me anything you like as long as it's cute!"

"Ah, I'll call you Rhyme then, and you can call me Chris."

"Okay Chris!" The book bobbed up and down.

"Now, let us leave. All this blood is ruining my mood."

With that, I turned and left the house with Caster trailing behind me.

"Rhyme, follow me in Astral form."

"Okay Chris!" motes of light covered Rhyme's form before disappearing.

With a flex of my power, a large hole is space appeared leading to the mountains in which I went through.

A few seconds later and I collapsed the portal.

"Rhyme? You can come out now."

With a flash of light, another me has appeared but with a black and violet dress.

"Yes master?" Rhyme titled her head.

I materialized a tea table and two chair. Then, I materialized two cups of coffee.

"Join me?"

"Oh my! It's tea time!"

"It's coffee. I can change it to tea if you want."

"I would very much like that Chris!"

Very well heathen. Be thankful you are cute.

With a wave, Rhyme's coffee turned into tea.

"Now, let us plan for this war. Tell me, do you have any wish?"

"A wish... I wish to be remembered, to not fade away..."

"Hmmm... And what if I tell you I can fulfill that wish?"

"Hehe. Surely you jest Chris."

"No, I am serious about this." I placed a queen chess piece onto the table. "This is a queen piece from my peerage, this will help you live on without the assistance of the grail. I can help you become a legend that everyone will remember. In turn, you will follow me."

"Is it truly?" Rhyme eyed the queen piece, curiosity and disbelief reflecting on her eyes.

"You don't have to answer immediately." I sipped on my cup of coffee, Rhyme doing the same thing with her tea. "Now, let us talk about the war."

"I will follow Chris as long as it's fun!"

"Oh it will be fun alright! Tomorrow eve at the dock, all servants will be gathered, it will be the perfect time to strike!"

As the moon hung above the clouds, two young ladies were having a coffee/tea party.

Elric Blackmore was an ordinary guy who died. Or was he?

"Met with the Spiral of Origin, transmigrated as a Satan's daughter, gifted with one of the most overpowered cheat, I must have been Buddha in my previous life!"

Now living as a devil, she travels the multiverse in search of adventure and companions!

Notification: Arrival – Ground Floor - The Elven City of Hometown

Details: The Elven City of Hometown resides at the bottom of the World Dungeon. The city is all that remains of their civilization after their homeworld of Titania was purged by a phenomenon referred to as the Green Madness, an extinction-level event.  Hometown is the last bastion of the fallen race of the Elves; as such, they are profoundly possessive and guard it carefully.  A sprawling city, all players may find whatever they need and more to prepare themselves to enter the varying dungeon floors on their quest.


  Within the Elven City of Hometown, the air smelled of burnt ozone as Luca materialized into existence.  His arrival scarring the steel of the reception platform with black scorch marks.  The glare of an unfamiliar sun beating down on him as people moved around on their errands and business. The sounds of a city bustling with life. Awestruck Luca did nothing as he looked around in wonder at the magical city.  
The platform Luca stood on appeared to be in the middle of a glossed and polished cobblestone plaza.  He looked around and saw eight shimmering portals arranged in an octagon while stores and service shops ringed the area. Everywhere Luca looked, the impossible seemed to exist. Minotaurs walked freely while dwarves haggled with street vendors, and other races Luca could not recognize seemed to scurry between one thing and the next.  
   With a soft pop, Luca watched as others materialized on the platform in the same way he did, though none left scorch marks. Sobbing and wretched, humanity had joined him. Bleeding men and women crowded him. Each marred by quickly healing wounds, and though Luca could surmise the cause of their misery, he found himself unable to extend any sympathy towards them. Unable to identify with them, Luca chose to ignore the lot of them instead.To most of the passerby, it was business as usual, just another group of traumatized humans arriving in the World Dungeon. 
 With a harsh cough, Luca rolled over onto his belly. The weight against his back uncomfortable, itching as if something lurked beneath his skin. The pressure mounting as Luca struggled with an unfamiliar feeling of something different about himself.
  A wave of nausea hit him, and Luca had to suppress the urge to vomit, bracing himself on his hands and knees as he fought back the bile that was rising from within his stomach.   He failed in the endeavor, wiping the pale yellow froth from his mouth as a delicate hand touched him on the back, asking with a feminine voice, "Hey, are you ok? You don't belong with them."
 Luca angrily batted the hand away, lashing out in pain. He didn't respond to the question as the emergent wings protruding from his back accelerated their growth. Spreading out in a wingspan greater than his arms. The development didn't surprise him, not after everything he had seen and experienced over the last few days.   The people all around him on the platform backed away in fear, and Luca shied his eyes away from them in self-revulsion, not wanting to see the way they cowered towards him
Just as he was embarrassed by the terrified looks of those around him, Luca was equally embarrassed by his reaction to the woman's touch.  He turned his head, trying to get a good look at the woman who had attempted to show him a bit of kindness.  Her ears tipped, and elven, he saw her moving through the crowded reception platform heading down the road towards a group of shops. Luca tried to follow her with his eyes but quickly lost sight of her on the street.
  Disgusted with himself, Luca pushed himself off the ground. He struggled to maintain his balance, not from inability but from unfamiliarity. Luca's legs buckled from strain and atrophy as he attempted to gain his balance. The newfound weight on his back, making it more difficult.  Hunched over with his legs shaking, Luca smiled, realizing he was walking again.  The good mood ruined with the reminder left by soft feathers brushing against his face. 
  Turning his head slightly, not wanting to fall over, Luca was reminded of w what the weight on his back had been.  Wings had sprouted sporting black feathers, and as he looked, an intense urge within his shoulder blades caused him to flex a muscle he didn't know existed.  The effort forcing the black wings on his back to flap as his body rippled with muscles Luca had never had before.  Even without the wings, Luca looked radically different than the withered and crippled child he had been.
  For Luca, judging the changes was difficult in the absence of his reflection. The only thing he noticed aside from the wings he now bore was the smoothness of his skin. Fair and unblemished, not a sign of marring on the surface, his skin no longer a pale white, but now an olive hue. 
  A look of wonder lit up his face.  Standing tall, he flexed the phantom sensation that moved his wings.  Working to familiarize himself with the changes in his body.  "Amazing,"  he thought.  Moving one wing and then the other moving as he worked to familiarize himself with the modifications to his body and build up muscle memory.
  
 Above the platform, a lamplight turned on, the halogen burning green, and a loud series of pings were broadcasted from it as another blue screen appeared before his eyes.
