Chapter 180 - Discovery

"Is this really happening to us? Oh my goodness...! I can believe it is true and all the second thoughts that I had before was all just a figment of my nightmare." a young wife named Angel exclaimed to her husband.

"I feel that we all could have a better life over here. Look...! There are plots of farmlands here and those houses were all of the same design. They are arranged in such an orderly manner. Pinch me, honey... I must be dreaming of all these." Angel once again blurted out as she can't contain her joy and happiness within her heart.

Their two children were in tow and were also delighted to see a bright atmosphere around them. When the families initially arrived, they were unable to see much of their surroundings as they were dead tired after travelling for many hours.

There was weird contraception in the waters as they cross the bridge. A contraption that looked like a waterwheel but it is running by itself with no mill attached to it. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the waterwheel was actually drawing water for the farmlands.

"This village has a windmill and a waterwheel but not doing any milling and its main purpose was to draw water for the farmlands. How ingenious would that be...!" Aldershot, the husband of Angel announced when they finally see everything clearly in the daylight.

"Oh look, Mummy, Daddy, the water is being spread all over the farmlands. The water seems to be shooting upwards and watering it slowly. Wow... This must be a new thing and this is the first time I've seen this...!" the teenage son was pointing to the water that was misting over the farmlands and this brought forth a spectrum of colours over the lands.

"Yes, it is true. It is a new innovation I'm sure. This way no one needs to water the plants and that waterwheel does it for them all day and all night long." Aldershot voiced out his opinions and Ashworth that was minding them spoke up, "That's one of our lord's innovation."

"Not only does it help the people here, it also helps the crops to grow faster...! Imagine with this new devices, the crops would always being watered and this helps them to grow healthier...!"

"It's like springtime in summer...!" Ashworth concluded while the family nodded in agreement.

"Dear, look at how neatly the houses are arranged. The houses looked rather quaint and it's of the same size throughout...! Do you think its fine for our families?" another family named Accrington pointed out ahead.

"Yes, honey. Those houses looked all the same throughout. The thing is why are the houses built higher than the ground? Does it mean that when the rain comes, the ground here would be flooded?" Abe asked as he pointed out to the nearest houses when he had crossed the bridge along with Ashworth.

"Ah... Let me explain these houses. When a house is in the ground, it will absorb the cold and moisture thus making the house interior to be cold and musty, right? This elevated house means you need to remove your footwear before entering and wash your feet."

"See the earthen jar next to the doorway? There's water in them and that's where you get the waterr to wash your feet after removing your footwear. Trust me, you will know the reason why. There's no bed but there are 4 pillows per house."

"The floor is covered with a woven mat and most of the time you would be spend sleeping on them. The houses have no windows and you can have the option to leave the doorway close or open by using a partition inside."

"Come, Aldershot, you may take this house. Accrington, you take the one next to it. These would be your permanent homes. There are a few pairs of flip-flops inside the house. It's meant to be your footwear around the plage from now on. We wear our shoes and boots only in winter."

Ashworth showed to his feet and everyone was surprised that they didn't realise that Ashworth was not wearing shoes at this time but a pair of closed-toed open-heeled pair of flip-flops.

"If you are unable to wear them, especially the kids, please exchange them with Lady Heather. She is the one who oversees this flip-flop projects for our village." Ashworth pointed out and he took out the 4 pairs of flip flops near the doorway and handed them to the Aldershot family.

"Change into these and hang your boots on sticks inserted onto the ground with it. This prevents any creepy crawlers from entering your boots." Ashworth hands the flip-flops and they changed their boots into it.

The feeling of those feet being unrestrained being in the hot pair of boots made such a great cooling feeling after being replaced with a flipflop. They washed their feet after following the instructions of hanging their boots invertedly on a stick.

"This is one of the handicraft projects by Lady Heather and this is available in adult, teen and kids size and there's even for men and ladies too."

"I suppose it's going to be in for trade soon too by next week. Marcel would be the one who would quote the price and what the ladies at the weaving production area would do is to make them into these for sale."

"Wwaahh...! This flip flops would be on sale and we are wearing them? Do we need to pay for them?" one of the Accrington asked but Ashworth replied that all these products belonged to them.

"This house, this lot belongs to you. And there's always something for everyone here. Just ensure that there's something that you possess in this village. When your children decide to have a family, they would be given a house to start their own family....."

Ashworth spent some time telling them about the rules and regulations, the morning meetings and nightly conference. Ashworth advises the two families to have a rest after washing up. He also explained about the potties and where to dispose of them properly.

"Alright, be seeing you during lunchtime then. I'm off to my work station now. As your senior peer, I would be your mentor for two weeks here and after that, you would be on your own independently."

"Our Lord may need to meet each individual family to record inside the census and properly induct you in this community." Ashworth explained as he was asked how long he had been in this village, in which he simply replied, "Within a month when this is encampment was initially set up. Burns and I were the first families to be inducted hereafter the pioneers and followed by 6 of the miner families and 6 of the Irish Travellers.

Ashworth then bade them rest as he would be returning to work as scheduled by the Industry Minister Ben. "Remember, wake up at lunchtime then...!"
=*=
"Wow... This village is really something. Even though it looked small before entering but then I think it would take more than half a Shadows length to walk all around it...!" 

"Yeah, the village's lord is kind of young, don't you think? Even after he had told us a story of how this village came about from being a simple encampment until this date, but he manages to accomplish it within 4 months...!" 

"Yes, and there were only 12 members in the encampment before and now it had more than 200 citizens... Not too shabby I think." 

"Don't you see how many bakeries this village had? 2 bakeries and 20 ovens... My heavens. This village does look simple but its function is that of Beverley...! We have 200 over people in this village and it is only 1/25 of the population of Beverley."

"I am from Flamborough and its only a fishing town with 900 citizens only. Its a sleepy town and the port had about 4 fishing boats. 2 would be going out every 12 hours and return with a load of fish and another 2 would go out thereafter."

"Oh, I am from Barmston and there's nothing much for me to do there in the town. It is a sleepy town, I'm not sure what is the trade there but people are busy doing physical trade like jewellery, fur, silk and other cloth materials there."

The chatters among the families continued and as the senior peers reminded them to rest and then come forward for lunch, they complied and followed what was being advised. The flip-flops were being exchanged within each other to ensure the children have the right pair.

Heather was meeting the families while one of the ladies were pushing a handcart to make the exchange for the right flipflop. Upon seeking Heather, the ladies curtsied and the men bowed as they regarded Heather as the First Lady.

"Hahaha. Skip all those formalities. My husband prefers those who don't bow or curtsy too often or else how would one's work complete in this manner... Hahaha." as she went about to meet the families and exchanged the flip-flops.

"Don't lose any of those flip-flops okay? This is my handicraft project, you know. Each of these costs money... Hehehe. I intend to sell it for 10c for the adult pair, 8c for the teenage pair and 5c for the children's one." 

"So all these are money, so don't lose it and appreciate them... " Heather laughed and joked with the new families as she made exchanges for those feet that does not fit into the flip-flops to the appropriate sizes.

"Excuse me, milady. It's true that we do not have a wage while working here?" asked one of the family, a Bendemeer. "Not entirely true, if one had money where would you spend it? This village is basically free for all its citizens, food, house and clothes. On top of that, education is also free for the children."

"As for the wages, please ask senior peers, they may give you the answer since they too are not getting any wages at all. But for your general knowledge, if our village here achieves 3 objectives, each household member would earn 2s per month."

"The first objective is to have a nett income of 100 gold coins a month, the second objective is to have all 3 trade routes from each of the zones and lastly our village here becomes a kingdom with at least 5,000 citizens."

"I am not sure if we can fit 5,000 citizens here in this village but the other two objectives are within grasps. How many family members do you have and what are the ages?" 

"My husband and I and my two daughters aged 14 and 12. Both are able to work since they used to help me around to clean the chimneys, chop firewood and so on." the wife of Bendemeer explained. 

"That's good. What Gracehaven need is more hands to churn out those items that are of benefit for Marcel the merchant to bring to his town to sell."

"Right now we make building materials and some important stuff like clay bricks, rocket stoves, woven mats like the one your house have now, hunting bows plus other weaver handicraft products."

"Later after lunch, you would meet us and from there we would be able to know what you could do to help in this community. Since we have a new bakery open, we may need another 10 bakers there." Heather explained and the new families were listening with jaw-dropping expressions as they never realised that this village actually employs 20 bakers at a time!

Is this a village or a full-fledged town?

During the period of 1337-1453, a terrible war broke in Medieval England and that period was called (Hundred Year's War) and a huge turmoil ensued between the England and France with the involvement of rebels as well as opportunists. 

Prince Audemars Macleod, a descendent of King Richard Macleod of Darlington had barely managed to escape with his life when the Manor he was living in was besieged by rebels in 1440, when he was just barely 18 years old.

Let us travel through time and relive the experiences of this young Prince as he was forced to 'banished' and survive with some followers they entrusted their lives with him.

Little did he realise that he was actually living in the past of his future and had no recollection of anything except when he was narrated by a Seer that had been inducted as a permanent resident of the town he founded later.

*This is a fictional world. Most plants, vegetables, fruits and certain animals didn't exist in England that time.

*Almost all novels start off with a system. This does not reveal any hint of a system until you get to almost halfway through the novel. 

* Mobsters are included in the later chapters of this novel too. 

*This is a slow grind so bear with it as the storyline develops. Thank you and happy reading...

I jolt up in my cot drenched in a thin layer low sweat. I huff out air as my eyes search wildly around my campsite; searching for something which was never there, to begin with.

Not anymore at the least…

While closing my eyes I take a deep breath, then push the sheets from my lap as I rise to my feet. I brush a hand through my unkempt hair which had fallen free into my eyesight.

I bring my gaze up to the moon, and put a hand below it. Not even a few hours now. The thought passes through my head as I lower my hand.

I walk not even a few feet before a rustle of leaves causes me to snap towards its direction. And without a second thought, I grab both my short-sword and my ash-coloured mask.

Another rustle echoes through the trees as I tighten the masks two straps into place. I then take in a deep breath before unsheathing my blade.

And as if seemingly cue an arrow flies free from the treeline and I spin right as it reaches me. Yet, once my gaze returns to where the arrow had been fired from; four figures loom just outside of the clearing of my camp.

"Ha-ha, look at the moves of this one?" One of them yells out.

"Seems it ain't gonna be a'easy as we thought it'd be," another snickers.

I let a little sigh free, just a small group of bandits, nothing more. I bring my blade closer to my face, then angle it as if ready to lunge at my opponent. Just bandits, nothing more…

You have not been found yet.

"This one's using 'er left hand? Ya do know what 'at means boys?" One states as he steps out into the moon's light revealing not only his heavy set of armour, but also his brandished single-edged blade.

"What-- not gonna talk? Ain't ya know it's rude not to speak when spoken to?" The one farthest to the left throws his nearly empty bottle of ale not that far from me. However, I remain completely still, unmoving to there little theatrics.

"I think she's all stiffened up, could ye be scared of our little merry group? Ha-ha?" The one to the farthest right begins to laugh, him being in the lightest of garbs; with it mainly consisting of leather pieces but mainly just commoner's clothing.

"Well, I think this'll be easy, and definitely easier if ya'd lowa' that blade there, hmm?" The heavy set man takes a step closer, and tries to reach towards me. Leaving his other arm to fall slightly towards the weight of his long-sword.

"Opening…" I whisper and he tilts his head a tad bit, however…

In slight gap that his wrist had created in his armour; my blade cleaves straight through.

His eyes widen through the slits of his helmet as my blade rests back into its ready position. A howling scream escapes from him as both the blood from his wound begins to gush, and his severed hand hits the leafy forest floor.

And as he grips the nub of hid forearm he falls to the ground screams non-understandable words. Yet, not any of his three companions take a step closer to me, which causes a slight smirk to arise upon my face.

"Th-that… what–just–happened?" The lightest man questions, seemingly stunned.

"Y-y-you, you monster!" The semi-plated man growl turns into a war-cry as he begins at me.

"Rage… Opening…" I whisper once again.

"DIE YOU BI–" Shink…

I dunk-spin not only past his swing, but also his flawed guard. Then my blade runs deep into the back of his throat… and his body falls as he gurgles upon his own blood.

A little giggle accidentally slips past my mask as the last two come hurdling themselves at me. I let my blade droop down to my side as the first one reaches me.

His war-axe flies over my head I flip my blade from my left hand into my right. And plunge the reverse blade into his open backside. He grunts before I pull the blade out, then he screams in agony.

"You are the only one left?" I grin as my muffled words reach the frozen man just out of reach.

"Who, what--are--you?" His facial reaction resonates nothing but fear.

"Names are not of the matter at the moment," I grin. "Wouldn't want any loose ends?"

His face freezes up as I flip the blade upright, then bolt towards him. Yet, instead of diving right at him, I slip past him as he swings wildly in front of him.

"Opening…" I whisper one last time as my feet come to a halt.

His arms go limp as I plunge through his lower spine, causing him to yell out in anguish. And so, I drag the blade across his throat and in seconds… he lies lifeless.

Then I turn to the handless goon, who seizes at my gaze.

"P-please… please, please don't kill me!" He whimpers.

"I care for your kind the least… think you're powerful, until you're place has been presented to you." I downcast my sword once more as I put one foot on his chest.

He grabs my ankle as if to pull me off of him, while simultaneously begging for life.

"Your begging disgusts me…" I push the blade down into his jugular until the guard touches his neck.

I then have to jerk the blade free from the earth. To carried away… I think to myself as I begin towards my travelling pouch. Then proceed to pull free the cloth which, although covered in filth and grime, I sit and wipe my blade clean.

I will have to sharpen this once again, I grumble as I pick up the sheath, and as soon as it clicks shut, I lie it next to me and look at the light starting to peak.

"Time to move…" I state before looking down at the carnage lying before me. "Right… a few coins wouldn't hurt."

I pull my mask free from my face, before flipping it to face the blood splotches. Which I easily wipe free… yet, before I put the mask onto my hip, I trace the two main deep slashes.

One across the left eye, yet the mesh behind it had been repaired, some damages we keep…

Isn't that right Claire… a tear rolls down my cheek and hits the second mark with goes from the lower left cheek to the where the bridge of the nose would be.

"I miss you," I kiss the forehead of the mask.

In the lands of gods and myths, legends rise and fall. This is the legacy of Brynk, and her travels across the planes of reality and myth. And equipped with the memories of her loved ones in one hand and a blade in the other, she'll end the one that stole them from her.

We went out of the study and proceeded to the dining area. The food was already prepared on the table so I went to assist Sophie to her seat. She smiled at me and sat down I also went to my seat which was at the other end of the table, which was annoying. 

I took my seat and smiled to Sophie. "Let's eat elder sister, I have something to discuss with you later."

"You can say it while we eat brother, so it will not be to silent while we eat. It kinda feels lonely if there are no sounds at all." Said Sophie.

We started eating our food while I started the conversation.

I nodded. "Alright. By the way elder sister for the next meal can we be seated nearer? You know it is kinda weird if we eat with just the two us yet the distance is so large. And when we took it is very awkward, because we need to raise our voices."

"You are right I will tell them after so we can be closer when we eat. I like that we are closer when we eat." Said Sophie.

I smiled at Sophie letting her know of my ideas for the house. "Elder sister, I have some ideas so the house will be able to keep operating. But I will need startup funds for the business."

"What kind of business would that be brother?" Asked Sophie.

I started explaining. "It is a new kind of food that I would like to introduce along with it is a new beverage. I am sure that it will be likeable by the commoners and even the nobles."

"Really? Then you can have the access to the money of the house brother. I trust you. I would also like to have a taste of it first if it is really as you say." Sophie said excitedly.

I nod my head saying. "Thank you for the trust elder sister. I promise I will not let you down. After lunch, I will ask Katrina to bring some other servants with her to buy things needed to make the food and beverage."

"Alright brother." Said Sophie happily.

After the conversation we were almost done with our lunch. Finishing up I called upon Katrina to instruct her on the things to buy. I specified to her the ingredients needed for a beef patty and also ingredients for making a hamburger bread. I also asked her to look for grapes and apple so I can make the juice drinks accompanying  the burger. Katrina then called a few other servants and went out.

I turned around and saw Sophie waiting for me. "Elder sister have you been waiting there all the time?"

"Yes, I was happy seeing you that way. It seems that my brother is really smart." She smiled.

I smiled back at her. "I just know a few things. So what are you gonna do now elder sister?"

"Nothing much, I do not much things in a day. Even in the morning it was like that." She said with difficulty.

Looking at Sophie I started thinking. (It seems that my dearest sister's daily life was really lonely. With no one to spend with it was even more sad. I need to change her mindset. Maybe if I give her a goal then she would be much more livelier.)

I said to Sophie. "Then why don't you  join me in training elder sister?"

"Training? Why do you keep on training Kei?" She asked.

I smiled then said. "I train to become strong. If I am strong then I can protect what is precious to me. I can protect you."

"Really you would?" Asked Sophie.

I nodded at her. "Yes I will. Well, why don't I show you so you would know, it is better for you to see with your own eyes what I can do after I trained."

I took her hand and led her to the courtyard. Vanessa followed behind us. After we arrived she stood at the side and I started warming up. A few minutes of warm up then I was ready.

I looked at Sophie. " I will start now elder sister watch closely."

"Mmm." She replied.

I started with a slow run, then accelerated slowly. I ran to the wall of the courtyard gaining speed. I can hear the gasped and screams of Sophie and Vanessa. As I reached the wall, I did a vertical wall run the followed by back flip. Without rest I dashed again along side the wall did horizontal wall run then a side flip. I continued with a series of flips and rolls. I made it even more artistic so I would catch the attention of the two. Continuing, I did my free running on the wall trees and as a finale I ran up the wall to the 2nd floor balcony then did a flip from the 2nd floor landing with a roll then stood up just a few meters in front of Sophie.

I smiled at Sophie and asked. "Well, what do you think?"

Both Sophie and Vanessa were wide eyed and their mouths were both wide open. It seemed that they were shocked. I cannot blame them, even in the modern times free running even leaves people's mouth hanging, what more in this era.

"Wow! How did you do that brother?!" Asked Sophie after blanking out for a few seconds.

I said to Sophie with a bright smile. "Training elder sister, training. With training you can do things that you have not done before. You can push your body to the limit and do things normal people cannot do."

"You mean that if I also train I can do that also?!" Sophie asked while her eyes were sparkling.

I nod and said "Yes you can." (She took the bait!)

Chapter 15. Daedongyeojido, Part II

Translator: Khan
Editor: RED
 

4.
The destructive power created Kim Tae-hoon's fist was enormous yet horrifying. The wall crumbled like a cookie. Splatter! The parts of the wall fell to the floor like a piece of a cookie. 

'Ah!'  However, Jang Sung-hoon was not surprised by Kim Tae-hoon's fist. All he could see was a ball of translucent vinyl through the broken wall. 

Tap tap!  Kim Tae-hoon took the plastic bag out of the wall and immediately handed it to Jang Sung-hoon. Jang Sung-hoon accepted it carefully and began to release the plastic. After the plastic was removed from the skin, a luxurious blue roll of silk appeared. 

'It's not a common silk.'  The silk itself looked like a very high-quality product. The texture was the same. Jang Sung-hoon's touch revealed that the silk was not a relic, but quality silk that was not cheap. Yet it was nothing compared to what was hiding inside the silk. 

"… this is so ridiculous." 

A book was revealed within the silk. It was an old book, which could be looked to a normal person as an ordinary book. 

'How could this be here?' The letters written on the cover of the book in black ink were enough to make Jang Sung-hoon's mind go dark. 

Daedongyeojido 大東輿地圖 

"… it's Daedongyeojido." 

Daedongyeojido. 
What kind of explanation was needed? 
It was the most precious thing Gosanja Kim Jeong-ho had seen in his whole life, and it was also a heritage for future generations. For them to explain and evaluate it would just be ridiculous. 

"It's different from the Daedongyeojido that I know." 

"This is the wood-block printed version. To be exact, the Daedongyeojido was made of wood blocks. The Daedongyeojido we see in the textbooks was combined from each wood-block printed version made of wood-block like a puzzle. And this is… probably an unpublished wood-block printed version," Jang Sung-hoon explained. 

At that moment, he recalled the rumor that a wood-block printed version of Daedongyeojido that was not released to the world was floating around. "I heard a rumor, but I thought it was fake…" 

But honestly, when he heard the rumor, he thought it was false. Those kinds of rumors were everywhere, and if it were a wood-block printed version of Daedongyeojido, it would not be just a thing floating around by just rumors. If it were real, very big hands would have moved to take it. 

But the rumor was true. And the owner was Baek Sung-taek! 'So he kept it in the wall. Yeah, it's worth keeping it in the wall. A thief can't trust a safe.'
 
Jang Sung-hoon, who held Daedongyeojido in his hand, asked in return, "How did you know it was in the wall?"
 
His Eyes of the Black Snake only saw something in detail, but there was no such ability as seeing through.
 
It meant that he did not have the ability to see through the wall. However, Kim Tae-hoon, as if it were perfectly natural, punched the wall without any hesitation.
 
"That's the only part of the wall that has a different texture."
 
"Different texture? Did you see it with your Eyes?"
 
Instead of answering, Kim Tae-hoon's eyes turned black again. With the Eyes of Black Snake, he looked at the wood-block printed version of Daedongyeojido which Jang Sung-hoon held in his hands.
 
==[Daedongyeojido]
- Relic Grade: Grade 4
- Relic Value: Special
- Relic Effect: The location of monsters are displayed on the map.]==
 
Jang Sung-hoon also immediately took out his smartphone and confirmed the ability of Daedongyeojido.
 
Jang Sung-hoon, who had confirmed its ability, began to flip the pages of the book carefully, with his surprised look.
 
Flip-flip! With the sound of turning over the pages, he scanned the great map of Daedongyeojido, which was divided into pieces.
 
At the same time, he began to combine the pieces of the map mentally. It was one of his talents.
 
A person who was not capable could not make counterfeit goods. He had to be able to make counterfeit goods that could deceive others; when he saw the original art, he could recall it perfectly later and then recreate the same in reality.
 
It was not difficult for Jang Sung-hoon to complete the integrated map in his mind while looking at the broken pieces of the map.
 
Flip! As soon as Jang Sung-hoon saw the last page, the map was completed in his mind.
 
"This map is a kind of map nucleus." He quickly figured out its characteristics.
 
"A map nucleus?" Kim Tae-hoon put his head a little to one side. The game term was not familiar to him.
 
Jang Sung-hoon began to explain for him. His fingers began to scan the wood-block printed version of Daedongyeojido again.
 
Soon his hand stopped, and he showed the page to Kim Tae-hoon. A lot of red and orange lights were clustered on the map which was broken to pieces.
 
"This is the map of the place that is now Bucheon."
 
"These lights…"
 
"... mark the monsters."
 
"In detail."
 
"It marks the monsters around, starting with the owner of the map. It's like a radar. It can show small things close by, but those far away can only show big ones. The small ones here mean the weak monsters, and the big ones mean the powerful monsters."
 
One question came to mind when Kim Tae-hoon heard this. "What's the highest level of monsters we've ever seen?"
 
"There is a dark blue light on Mt. Halla and Mt. Baekdu in Jeju Island."
 
Dark blue meant that there was a monster of the same grade as the dragon at the beginning and the end of the Korean Peninsula.
 
That was not good news.
 
It was a kind of evidence that this world had become so much more miserable than they had imagined.
 
But there was something else they had to worry about right now; an orange light and a red light were moving on the map!
 
That meant the monsters were moving!
 
"Take only what's important."
 
"Yes."
 
5.
 
It was Brown Goblins, attacking the cleaners who were working the road cleared by Kim Tae-hoon. They were familiar monsters to the Mac Clan's soldiers and Bang Hyun-wook.
 
"Everybody, get on the truck!"
 
A Brown Goblin itself was weak. An ordinary armed adult man could sufficiently deal with it.
 
Kieee!
 
The problem was that Brown Goblins moved under the command of a Hobgoblin, not individually. Moreover, the unique spell of the Hobgoblin took away the pain and fear from Brown Goblins.
 
The monsters who lost their pain and horror were terrifying over the imagination. The ferocious waves of the monster groups, numbering more than a hundred, destroyed the fighting spirit of those who faced them, before the fight.
 
"Awooo!"
 
In front of this scene, Bang Hyun-wook used the Howling power which he had acquired by eating the monster stone of a Black Wolf given by Kim Tae-hoon.
 
He dashed toward the Brown Goblins running at him, with the Howling. It was to earn some time and to express his confidence at the same time.
 
"I'll kill you all!" At the shout, Bang Hyun-wook's Energy churned. The Energy made his whole body grow stronger.
 
Except for Kim Tae-hoon, he had the highest stats in Strength and Health among the Awakeners. Therefore, being stronger than before would be a terrifying thing for the Brown Goblins that had to face him.
 
Moreover, he was wrapped by the leather armor of the Black Orc.
 
The leather of the Black Orc was not as strong as the leather of the Black Snake, but it was not the leather which the teeth or the nails of the Brown Goblins could do anything to. Therefore, the battlefield that Bang Hyun-wook threw himself into was like a free batting practice for him.
 
'Free batting is that you set the ball and hit it with a bat, free.' 

There only difference was that a Brown Goblin's head was in place, instead of the ball.
 
Bang! So Bang Hyun-wook started to go crazy. Meanwhile, the Mac Clan's soldiers in the truck also passed Bang Hyun-wook, and began to pull the trigger at the approaching Brown Goblins.
 
Tutu! Now their shots were controlled, not wasting bullets, and not pointing guns at allies. No one was as frightened as before and just fired blindly toward the Brown Goblins.
 
"Kieee!"
 
Of course, the Goblins that ran into controlled gunshots began to fall rapidly. Nevertheless, the rush of Brown Goblins gradually narrowed the distance to the truck. There was no stopping them. They seemed to be getting faster every time they stepped on a dead colleague.
 
Kieee! The same was true of the anger in their eyes. The death throes of their companions fanned their anger. 

It was a featherless arrow from somewhere that reversed the situation.
 
Swish!
 
The movement of the arrow that appeared was similar to that of a skilled person sewing beads. The arrow began to move like it was sewing the heads of the Brown Goblins.
 
Bloosh! The running Brown Goblins began to fall to the ground like puppets with cut strings, some falling on them and others falling on them again, then a wall was made.
 
Kieeek!The remaining Goblins fell to the ground, piling onto the bodies of their fellows. It was total chaos. In this ridiculous situation, the survivors were surprised at this absurd jaw-dropping scene, but not for long.
 
"Wooooooow!"
 
There was no reason to doubt who created this ridiculous sight.
 
"Master! Master is here!"
 
The main character was like a savior to those here now. A real Messiah.
 
There was no one who would not be proud at the appearance of their savior.
 
"Master is here!"
 
"Kill them all!"
 
So now the eyes of those facing the Brown Goblins began to burn. The spirit they created reached the Hobgoblin, who was commanding the Brown Goblins far away.
 
Kirr kirrk!
 
The Hobgoblin shuddered at the spirit that crushed the madness it had created. It was its last act. 

His shivering head fell to the ground. A well-prepared Sword had sliced through the Hobgoblin's neck. At the same time, the pain and horror taken away were returned to the Brown Goblins.
 
Kiee! Kii, kiii! The Brown Goblins, again feeling pain and horror, began to run away speaking weak death throes. 

Bang Hyun-wook looked at the Goblins who ran away silently, and he saw Kim Tae-hoon, who came back after finishing everything.
 
6.
 
Jang Sung-hoon carefully wrapped Daedongyeojido and the writing of Choosa Kim Jeong-hee with silk. However, he didn't need to. When they became the relics, they gained new lives. There was no need to worry about them getting worn out. But he could not dare do otherwise.
 
'I never thought I would get this treasure.'
 
To mistreat a relic which could be only described with the word 'treasure' dared not be done by those who devoted their passion and dreams to art. 

Jang Sung-hoon prepared a bag to put the precious treasure in. The bag was also a bag containing important things that he always had to carry.
 
"Eh?"
 
 For example, it had a crystal glass decorated with gold that contained red liquid.

The world has changed and so have the people.

December 31st, 2016 – the day before New Year's. Kim Taehoon was just casually shopping for groceries at the large store. Monsters suddenly appeared out of thin air. With the highly trained skills that he had gained from his previous occupation, he starts to hunt the monsters down and manages to win, saving countless people who were also at the mall.

But there are more and they don't stop coming.
Will he be able to survive until the end? 
Will he be able to beat the countless monsters that only seem to get stronger?
And will it just be monsters that he has to worry about? 

The journey of Kim Taehoon, The First Hunter, begins.

Editor's views  - from Ekdud

The First Hunter is a short Korean, action-fantasy novel situated in a post-apocalyptic world. Monsters start appearing out of nowhere and people are unlocking strange powers. Those who unlock such powers are called ‘Hunters’, ones with the strength to kill the monsters. To fight and survive, that is their goal. Society crumbles and the world burns.

A very fun novel that dives into the plot almost instantly. The novel is interesting in a way that it depicts a lot of human nature and what people would do in a situation such as this is quite an accurate manner. The character development is also very good as you get to learn about the characters, their backgrounds, and their stories. All in all, this is another novel I’d recommend to a lot of readers who are interested in reading fantasy and gaming novels.

**A licensed novel from Munpia**

With 50,000 yen I had significantly more options. However, I earmark a significant portion of that money for rent. There was a dorm/hostel near the outskirts of the city that was super cheap, but I had written off any places I would have to pay too much for. It's popular with students who move here for school specifically UA. Kids will move here months before the UA test then leave. Either because they didn't make it and no longer need to be here. Or because they did make it in and therefore can afford a better apartment. This means outside of summer it sees very little business. It's right next to the train station if I get a train pass or I can continue to run everywhere. But I should be able to get a room there for 30,000 a month. In the morning I have some free time before meeting back at Kawaguchi's office. I think I'll go rent a room there at least for this month.

My night is incredibly unproductive as I don't know what I can productively do. I head the dump/beach looking around for anything cool, but it is just a dump and without some serious digging I couldn't find anything. I spend most of the night just relaxing by the ocean. Thinking about what I've done so far. What I will be doing.

There's nothing forcing me to be a hero, but I'm not going to be a villain especially with the power structure that the league of villains has. Also, they're basically just anarchists with no real goal besides overthrowing hero society. Not that I think it's perfect or even good. Just thinking about Endeavor makes me furious, but the solution isn't to replace a bad system with no system or an even worse system. With Villain eliminated as an option that leaves Hero, Civilian, and Vigilante. Vigilante is out because it's like being a hero, but with none of the legal, financial, or training support just worse than being a hero in every way. I guess you're hypothetically more free with methods, but heroes are already pretty free to do whatever they want. As long as someone poses a clear and imminent danger a hero can kill or maim them with no real legal repercussions. They don't for a moral reason and because it makes them look bad for the public. But the fact that heroes can do that means there are very few of any benefits of being a Vigilante. Then the final alternative is being a civilian. Which poses 2 problems first I'm only marginally safer. I'm still pretty likely to run into villains during their attacks, however, now they'll be taking me by surprise. I won't have any information and my most legal recourse is to run away. I'll only be switching chasing danger as a hero for danger finding me as a civilian. That's not to mention hiding away as a civilian might cause me more forced drawbacks for my next jump.  The 10 years of being significantly disadvantaged are enough for me. I know with all of my physical and mental abilities I have abilities equal to or greater than most quirks, but I have nothing truly exceptional at the moment. I'll have to handle people with moderately strong quirks intelligently working around their specific weaknesses. Then there are people with truly strong quirks like All for One or One for All. I need to figure out some way to compete with powers at that scale or at the very least find a way to reliably run away from them.

As the sun starts to rise I go on a bit of a shopping spree. I go to a pharmacy/corner store and buy essentials like toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, etc. Then I go to a cell phone carrier and try to purchase a plan for a flip phone with texts and calls only. That kind of plan was cheap back in the early 2000s but now that plan doesn't even exist. Cellular data is so ubiquitous I can't even find a plan without it. For 3,000 yen a month, about what I was expecting to pay for the flip phone with only texts and calls, I got an older model smartphone with 20gb of data a month. Happy with my phone plan I set out towards the out of prefecture student housing. Its run by a surprisingly nice old couple renting the building after their kids moved out. This time of year is usually their slowest time and this year is especially bad. As in no renters at all bad. The new school year just started, so the kids who were accepted to nearby schools moved into nicer and closer buildings. The kids who weren't accepted just moved out and back home. I look around and the only thing really wrong with it is the location. The room I'd be renting is kind of small. Just enough room for a bed, desk, closet, and dresser. However, even though it's small it is an individual room. Plus it has communal amenities. Large shared living room, bathroom, laundry room, and kitchen. I need a place to stay and this place isn't bad so I pay for a 30,000 for the month. My room technically isn't safe from being rented to someone else next month or even to me but at an increased price, but I've got a couple of months before that starts becoming an actual concern. And when my money situation becomes a bit more stable I'll sign an actual lease.

After filling out some paperwork I drop off my stuff in my room get a quick shower before heading back to the offices for day two.

A jumpchain multiverse exploration story. Where the main character will be travelling world to world across different popular media.

This is my first foray into fiction writing. Especially long form story telling, so I apologize for the quality and hopefully I'll get better.

The Feng Ji Dojo had a special cafeteria. Aside from providing work meals for the staff, it also provided nutritional meals for the students.
Of course, you had to pay extra for the nutritional meal.
But with a big client like Meng Fan, Yang Feng wasn't going to make him pay the extra fees.
Nutritional meals were healthy, of course. Beef, chicken breast, fish, shrimp, broccoli, corn, and assorted vegetables. There were also fruits. But the flavor… Meng Fan was not used to it.
Wu Tong had prepared a similar meal for Meng Fan before. It had been specifically catered for Meng Fan's 'figure' at the time by a cousin of hers, who claimed to be some sort of a nutritionist.
If he had followed the nutritional diet she'd recommended, he would have lost weight fast. However, Meng Fan refused. It wasn't because he thought it was troublesome, but because he couldn't let go of the mouthwatering food he loved so much. He had relied on his terrifying exercise regimen to get to where he was now.
"Iron God."
Long Tao and Ah Bin were eating alongside each other. After a few bites in, they couldn't help but begin to gossip. "Are you really dating Shan Jin bro?"
Meng Fan shook his head. "Nope. Didn't her office silence the rumors?"
"Then what's your relationship?"
"What's she like in person?"
Once the first question came out, an avalanche of questions followed. What followed was even more curiosity. After all, several people were curious about their relationship. Usually, they'd only talk amongst themselves, but this time, they met an 'informed person.' They couldn't let this opportunity go.
Meng Fan's head swelled. "Uhm, can we talk about something else. Like, how did you guys meet? Did you grow up together? How did you feel when you first learned each other's names?"
Hearing Meng Fan's question, the two went sour.
They finished eating, took a break, and began their afternoon lesson.
Meng Fan had paid a lot, and since he'd asked for a personal trainer, Yang Feng had found someone else to substitute his afternoon class. Ah Bin and Long Tao were getting used to being practiced on as well, so he was able to adjust the combat class and incorporate the two as well.
Toward this, Ah Bin and Long Tao had no complaints. Yang Feng's physical combat course was not cheap; they would essentially be attending a free lesson.
Besides, Meng Fan had a certain charm about him. Even if the two would spend the afternoon being flipped over and over again, they were still willing to spend time with him.
After all, being body slammed was part of the combat experience.
Once you get used to being slammed by the Iron Hero, it would be difficult for other people to flip you.
Hm. Although this thought was a bit excessive, it was what the two genuinely believed.
Of course, in the physical combat class, it was definitely not required that the two be flipped while just standing. They were free to flip Meng Fan too, but they couldn't lift him at all.
After ten minutes, Meng Fan was experienced in body slamming and even felt a rush of joy when he performed one successfully.
Moreover, actual physical combat was somewhat different from practice.
During practice, the practice partner stood in front of you to receive your attacks. But in real life, the opponent can dodge your attacks, which require Meng Fan to spend more time on his offense. Once he was able to snatch the person, he'd still have to adjust his posture.
The difference was not big, but Meng Fan's snatching abilities became too strong because of his Hand Speed. Meng Fan would snatch wherever he pleased with lightning speed and, as long as they were standing in front of him — regardless how much they tried to dodge, or whether Ah Bin had a white belt, and Long Tao had a blue belt — he would reach them. Unless they turned and fled, of course.
Although it took Meng Fan longer to adjust his position and posture, the opponent he snatched could only wait until he switched his position to be flipped.
He was too powerful; there was no use struggling!
As Meng Fan gained physical combat skills, the two realized Meng Fan's adjustment speed increased as well.
After forty minutes, he was basically able to snatch and body slam his opponent right away.
"This won't work!"
Yang Feng muttered to himself from the side. The more he watched, the more it felt like he was practicing techniques instead of physical combat. The two practicing with Meng Fan were not enough to hold him and looked like wood poles as they neared the end of practice.
Yang Feng also discovered Meng Fan's specialty; his hand speed.
He was previously aware of this attribute, but it had gotten even faster over some practice.
The speed of his snatches...
Yang Feng clapped his hands and gestured for Meng Fan to pause. "Take a break. Next, I'll teach you the submission technique. Your hand speed is very fast, and this suits you more. It will immensely increase your combat abilities."
Meng Fan heard this and felt slightly disappointed. He thought Yang Feng would step up and fight himself. To be honest, Meng Fan's ego had inflated greatly from this round of combat. But he really felt Ah Bin and Long Tao were quite weak and not enough for him. At least when he did a body slam on them, he was scared to exert strength. If it had been Yang Feng, flipping him would be much more satisfying.
Of course, an inflated ego was one thing, but he wasn't arrogant enough to face off against a Brazillian jiu-jitsu black belt. If Yang Feng held back and only practiced strangleholds, Meng Fan was confident he could win.
To be honest, Long Tao was not weak at all, possessing a blue belt. He had begun learning boxing before starting Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Normally, he could do a one-vs-three or four with no problem, and that wasn't an exaggeration. Because of his foundation in boxing, he had neared attaining a purple belt more than a few times.
Only, it was unfortunate he ran into an unreasonable guy like Meng Fan.
Long Tao felt like Meng Fan could reach a brown belt level if he tried.
But to Meng Fan, the biggest disappointment was still the System!
Coupled with the actual combat throughout the lesson, he'd flipped and been flipped over a hundred times. But still, the system didn't trigger any wrestling related tasks.
Where's the promised experience!
Wasn't it supposed to trigger a task once he tried something?
He even persevered and kept going, too!
He had decided to train temporarily so he could deal with the "trip to Singapore." But more importantly, he'd done so to trigger more tasks.
Did the System really not have any wrestling related tasks?
Or had he not done enough?
But up until now, there hasn't been a task that was this difficult to trigger. If one existed, it should have awoken long ago… Maybe there really wasn't a wrestling title.
Meng Fan could only swallow his disappointment and adjust his attitude. Based on his current conditions and knowledge, he'd already gained the strength that took ordinary people years of practice to achieve. In comparison, his old self was even able to stop the hijackers before his rebirth, even more so now.
Alright. The cost of his hard work back then was very high as well.
Meng Fan was looking forward to learning about submission.
After resting, Yang Feng began the lesson.
Snatching came in handy during submission as well. Basically, it was the 'how to grab' part that needed to be taught. Yang Feng had explained this method and asked Meng Fan to test it out, analyzing him during the process. He'd focused on teaching Meng Fan how to dodge while snatching as well, when Meng Fan began to snatch at him, causing Yang Feng to speed up this part of the lesson.
Yang Feng was helpless as well. There was no avoiding Meng Fan's snatches!
He felt even more helpless than when he tried to flip Meng Fan. He could blame the latter on Meng Fan's weight, but what's his excuse for being unable to dodge Meng Fan? He was too fast?
After skipping this part, Yang Feng also increased the difficulty. He was out of ideas. He was worried Meng Fan wouldn't be able to control his strength and hurt his opponent, so he began to teach him joint locking techniques. This would teach Meng Fan to use joint locking to overcome his opponent and also teach him what methods could cause injuries. He didn't have to use blind strength; after all, Meng Fan was strong enough to break someone in half!
"These six are the easiest basics for submission. You already have accuracy and speed, so it should be easy to learn. If you want to be rough... uhm, let's hold back from that for now."
"As for submission, you can use it in combination with the throwing techniques, before or after is up to you. Next, we will talk about how to combine submission and takedowns."
"The throwing and takedown techniques I taught you before only showed you how to flip an opponent. But it is not enough to win. There are many ways to make your opponent surrender. In both judo and jiu-jitsu, they are collectively referred to as submission. The 'sub' comes from the word for sleeping space, or a bedroom… And bedrooms feature locking techniques..."
"And then let's talk about the capture; this time, it's about encapsulation. This method can also be used to overtake your opponent. Most opponents won't be able to handle the pain in their joints and surrender. Of course, in BJJ, the capture technique is more often used to increase your snatching precision. After successfully using the capture technique, the success rate of your takedown will increase."
He had explained a lot, all of which required a high level of rational understanding. They then started practicing. This time, Yang Feng didn't ask for Long Tao or Ah Bin and decided to demonstrate to Meng Fan himself.
He was still worried about Meng Fan overexerting. Especially because Meng Fan now had to combine it with the takedown techniques too, and he was worried Ah Bin and Long Tao couldn't take the force. The practice had been divided into two techniques: capture then takedown, and take down then capture. Then, they practiced capture then takedown then capture.
Thump thump.
He couldn't escape his fate of being taken down by Meng Fan. After practicing a few times, Meng Fan was able to successfully grasp the capture and takedown. Meng Fan was so strong that Yang Feng couldn't even use his chasm of escape strategies, afraid of a novice like Meng Fan overexerting when he broke free. If that happened, he would really be in trouble.
Everytime Yang Feng was grabbed by Meng Fan, he'd choose to thump the floor.
Soon, the sound of thumping could be heard from outside the practice room.
Practicing martial arts was similar to practicing sports. Several movements and actions were very easily misunderstood. Like how the easiest way to suppress an opponent was through the riding position, followed by the semi-riding position...
"Ding!"
After practicing for a bit longer, an alert suddenly appeared in his head.
"Ding! You've triggered the task [Thousand Hand Snatch]."
"The task requires you to properly use the snatch technique 1000 times against an opponent."
"Upon completion, you will receive the title [Thousand Hand Snatch] (Snatching abilities +10, Hand Speed +3)."
There was only one Task Phase, and he would gain 100 points from finishing it.
Thump thump thump!
"Let go!"
Yang Feng pounded the floor several times as Meng Fan ignored him. Habitually, he tried to struggle, but Meng Fan was firmly pressing him down. Immediately, cold sweat started to drip from his forehead, and he could only cry out for help.


To reward Meng Fan for his bravery before his heroic death, the cosmos rewarded him with a 'system', sending him back in time to three months ago, alive.

'The only problem is, I need more information: what differentiates a good Qi affinity from a bad one? If I don't know that, I can't increase it'
'Better think about that tomorrow.'


Adam woke up just as the first sunrays entered his room.
"They told me to come before sunset, so I still have some time until then, what should I do?"
'I could search for a library but I don't think that they'll have one since books are supposed to be expensive in such a backward civilization.'
"AAAARGHh Fuck it."
"Why couldn't I just be transported into a Science-Fiction world, Fantasy is so lame if you're poor. Fuck my life."
Looking at his Customization Menu, he checked the requirements for the changes he would want to make in the future.
1. better balance – 30 Soul Shards
2. 20/20 vision – 75 Soul Shards
3. stronger bones – 200 Soul Shards
4. better immune system – 500 Soul Shards
("Soul Shards" has a really awkward abbreviation)
He still had 40 Soul Shards from back then.
'I guess the only thing I can do now is to upgrade my balance.'
'But it's going to hurt, and I don't want it to hurt.' *sigh*
As he selected to improve his balance, the pain arrived.
A thousand needles seemed penetrated his ear while a huge gong was making him deaf.
His eyes seemed to pop out but at the same time forcefully pushed inward.
Comparing it to the previous pain he felt from those transformations could not be done, as it was something wholly different. His entire skeleton reverberated like a pulled guitar string while his eyes and ears were constantly attacked.
Even after 1 hour it still did not stop.
Finally, after the brightest sunrays of the day infiltrated his room could he relax.
His bed was soaked in cold sweat and veins on his forehead popped out looking like they would explode at any given moment.
He was free, finally.
After that he jumped and landed on his right palm seamlessly, he could now freely control his body in every way while maintaining perfect coordination and not falling down, the only thing he needed to do now was to overcome his fears of suddenly misplacing a hand and breaking his neck, but with his strong body he didn't have to fear too much about that.
It was a natural feeling as if his whole body was in his grasp.
In his P.E. lessons where they had to do a front flip off a trampoline he always felt disoriented when he did it, he did not know where he was and did not know how he would land. Now it is a completely different story, not only could he easily do a front flip from a standing position, he also knew when to stop rotating thanks to his new enhancement.
"Hehe." Grinning stupidly he lets out a little chuckle.

After that, he went to the Grey Wolves.
Apparently, the transformation took long enough that the sun was already near the horizon by the time Adam got to the gate of the Mansion.
Again, he pushed it open and entered the estate, there were some people training on a field beside the mansion but the person he saw yesterday, who stood behind Scarface was not there.
Therefore, he went up to the door and knocked.
Very soon, the door opened and Scarface head popped out and he looked at Adam.
"Boss, the rookie is here." He turned around and said loudly.
"Tell Shaine to prepare the duel." 
From the top of a flight of stairs came and imposing figure of a man, tall and handsome, older than Adam but younger than Scarface, like a mature university student, which goes to the gym regularly.
He had short black hair and a jawline that stood out, he had stubbles instead of a beard.
He had a sleep deprived look but was brimming with energy as if even less sleep could not get to him. 
"Follow me." He said as he strode to the training grounds.
"Shaine! It's time for a duel." He shouted to which Adam cracked up and had to hold himself back, he truly did not expect that.
Some old guy who was training with a halberd turned around and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Gramps was inflicted with numerous scars spread on his body but not his face; it was completely free of scars.
He was with a mustache and his hair already began to turn white.
"Mmh, another rookie?" he asked the youth. There was no disrespect or disdain in his voice.
The youth just nodded to that question.
"Lord Alexander, I'm already old, couldn't you have picked another captain to test the rookie?"
"It's because I trust your evaluation the most gramps, besides you still fight like a tiger."
Shaine sighed and put away his halberd, he strode to the middle of an open field and waited for Adam.

After being transported into another world Adam Miller finds out that he has the [Customization Menu], a system that lets him modify almost anything. 
So what is he going to do?
Will he become a six-armed Asura?
Or will he modify himself into becoming a real furry?
What will he do?



Disclaimer: This novel DOES NOT feature furries!

Sigh...well first of all she needed to get out of this dangerous forest as soon as possible! At least after she managed to escape, she would then thought about how to survive later.

"Mao Mao i have finished~" Li Shi Ying scretched her sore body and walked up to the still sitting Mao Mao.

"Mm! That's good!" Just as Mao Mao said so, his stomach growl with a loud sound. "Growwwllll"

Mao Mao cheek blushed with shame as he flustered to cover up his huge belly.

Li Shi Ying witnessed these cute action of Mao Mao couldn't help but giggle softly. 

"If you want to eat than lets go to a river. You can catch some fish there and i will take a quick bath" Li Shi Ying patted Mao Mao back and signaled him to took her up to his shoulder. She was quite tired to walk on her own.

Mao Mao grinned and took Shi Ying on his paw, then he placed her on his broad fluffy shoulder. Li Shi Ying hugged Mao Mao neck to prevent her fell from his shoulder. 

After Mao Mao was certain that Shi Ying was safe, he stood up and walked slowly toward the nearest river.

10 minutes later.

Mao Mao brought Shi Ying to a nearest river. The river was a clean and beautiful one. You could saw many small fishes were swimming happily there. Li Shi Ying searched for a rather secluded spot to take a quick bath. Shortly after she found a spot behind a big rock. Li Shi Ying told Mao Mao to catched fishes for himself and also for her. She was hungry too you know! 

Li Shi Ying walked unhurriedly toward the river behind a big rock. She was ready to stepped into the river but she saw something lying on the grass not far from her place.

That...seemed like a human?

Li Shi Ying saw a man lying on his belly with a rather sorry figure. She didn't see any wound on the man's body but he seemed to be in pain.

Li Shi Ying pondered for a moment before decided to take a quick look over the man.

When Shi Ying approached the man, she could saw that the man was wearing a black chinese robe with a golden cloud pattern on it. There was a golden hairclip on his dark green long hair. She couldn't see his face because his face was currently facing the grass.

The man was clutching his chest and was panting heavily. His face was flushed red and he was sweating a lot. 

Li Shi Ying thought that the man must have a fever so she slowly squatted down beside the man and she touched the man cheek with her palm.

Hot! Li Shi Ying inmediately retracted her hand when she touched the man's cheek.

This man was burning hot! He must have a high fever! 

Out of kindness, Li Shi Ying tried to woke up the man before treating his fever. Well she wasn't a doctor but at least she could compress the man's forehead with wet cloth or something.

Li Shi Ying poke the man shoulder a few times but the man only groaned in response. She was quite impatient and she tried to shook the man's body or she could flip his body over to gave him a compress.

But, unexpectedly when she touched the man shoulder to flip him over, the man hand grabbed her wrist tightly and in a very short time, he pulled her over and trapped her under his body.

BRUK!

Li Shi Ying two hand were grabbed tightly by the man above her head. She was surprised and of course she struggled to free her tied hand while cursing "Damn! Release me!! I only try to help you!!" 

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from his grip. Her wrist started to get hurt because the man gripped her wrist too tight! 

At that moment, she finally could saw the man appearance. The man's white skin was turning red and he was still panting with a heavy breath. His eyes were hazy and blur like he was unconscious. He kept gulping and his eyes darkened.

This...what a beautiful eyes! 

That is what Li Shi Ying thought at the moment. The man's eyes were golden. His eyes were so beautiful it made her slightly dizzy. His eyes were deep and you couldn't read anything in it. 

She...at that moment felt like her body was sucking into his eyes. His almond shaped eyes were sharp and cold. His gaze unconsciously made her shudder in cold sweat.

Wh-what kind of eyes are these?? S-she she felt scared but also charmed by it.

The man face was as handsome as hell! His sharp and tight jaw, his stunning eyes, his sexy lips, straight nose and fine brows everything made this man the most handsome man Li Shi Ying ever seen in her life. Even her favorite idol Cai XX YYY, wasn't as handsome as this man.

When Li Shi Ying was mesmerized by the man pair of golden lizard-like eyes, the man was also struggling to kept his sanity.

Watch how she rules over the world without having a single bit of cultivation energy in her body! 

But, can someone please tell her how she suddenly became the Dragon Prince's wife? Momma, she wanna cry!!! 

This is a perfect story for those who are bored with the usual cultivation novel. 

Warning: Smut scene in chapters 7-9!! If you don't want to read it, just skip those chapters. 

If you like to read perfect grammar then this book might not be your cup of tea, but I'm still learning. So, it will become better in later chapters. 

Other project:
1. The CEO's Office Boy is a Girl (completed) 
2. 101 Days To Date Mr Target (coming soon)
