What will happen between the two ? Will they rekindle their friendship ? Or will they develop something more ??

Space-Time Vortex to God-Devil Plane, 5 years Later

Five years went from the moment when the Holy Niflheim Empire left their homeworld, which was Low-Grade one, and went towards the broader and wider world out there. Not many things changed from that moment. Some of them changed though, for example, the construction of the Orbital Strategic Defense Fortress or O.S.D.F. was already almost done and only a few months were missing till the end of the construction. 

Another change was that several people were now undergoing Sacred Devourifiaction Process, namely, they were one of Lucien's future wives, Itori. Then there were two Holy Imperial Knights, Shen Tatara, and Arima Kishō. The last person undergoing the Sacred Devourification Process was surprisingly Madko Akira who was together with Holy Imperial Knight N0.3 Zelilios. 

Lucien was spending most of his time peacefully at the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory either training his Kenjutsu or reading books. He got a lot of free time and because of that he pondered a lot about their own cultivation system and compared it to the Divine Warrior Cultivation System rather often. 

"So you are saying that our cultivation system is our advantage and disadvantage at the same time?"

Aksed his grandfather Azrael as they both were in the training field of the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory after sparring. Both of them were resting after good spar and were waiting for their stamina to recover. As proper battle maniacs and as their race was battle race, the spar was something like deathmatch for other races. Even Lucien was all bloody and had many injuries who were healing at a visible rate. 

"Yes. The biggest advantage of our cultivation system is that it is stable and fast, which is a very rare and strong combination. We only need enough resources to refine our bodies and increase energy reserves to reach another realm. At the same time, this is also our disadvantage as for example we don't gain any additional abilities for our bodies as we refine them further. Compared to other body refining system, we obtained strength and speed of cultivation, but forsake any other abilities. This is the conclusion I have reached."

Said Lucien to his grandfather who was looking at his pitch-black scythe in his hands. After some time of thought, he looked at Lucien again and started talking.

"That may be the truth, but even so we have enough possibilities to balance things out. The first thing we need to ensure is the fact that every Sacred Devourer Ghoul is dual-cultivator and cultivating both energy and body. Another thing, I feel would help us greatly is focusing on the Dao of Weapon as a sword, spear and so on. Thanks to that we could reach a terrifying amount of power and together with our strong bodies and energy cultivation, we could balance out the lack of special abilities."

It was certainly the truth that compared to the Divine Warrior Cultivation System, which had special abiláities like Nascent Soul and others, their won cultivation system was severely lacking something like these. Even so, his grandfather now spoke good point. Even though it was a disadvantage, it could be balanced out with their energy cultivation and Dao of Weapon. Many members of their race were talented in the Dao of Weapon.

"Yes, that could be a good solution for the problems our race have. I still need some time in completely comprehending the Lesser Sword Dao. I have been in seclusion meditating already for two years and I have managed to comprehend almost half of it."

Dao of Weapon was a very powerful method, and Lucien just touched the gate of the true Dao, as he still didn't even reach the Lesser Sword Dao Realm. Even though he just scratched the true Dao, he still touched the realm of the Lesser Sword Dao and was close to comprehending and mastering the Lesser Sword Dao. Thanks to that, his combat prowess rose up considerably.

He spent some time reading various books with common knowledge about the Akashic Multiverse as he lacked many and many knowledge. At first, the first year he spent mostly with his future wives, Seira and Itori. After Itori went to the Sacred Devourification Process and Seira went to train more. 

After that, Lucien focused firstly at cultivating his body to increase his RC Level and then also, learning Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū sword style. Thanks to that, his Kenjutsu bloomed and also, managed to touch the Lesser Sword Dao. 

"Grandfather, how much have you progressed with your own Lesser Scythe Dao?"

Asked Lucien curiously as he talked more with his grandfather about weapon Doa. Now, in these days, there weren't many people who managed to comprehend and master entire Lesser Weapon Dao. They could be counted on one hand. 

"I have comprehended and mastered the Lesser Scythe Dao some time ago. Now I would have the power to kill Initial-Phase Marquise-Rank. Information we have about the God-Devil Plane are indicating the presence of the Pinnacle-Phase Marquise-Rank cultivators. Though the place we are heading, the Aizhouma Universe didn't have any particularly strong cultivators, there could still be some potential good fights."

Said his grandfather Azrael. In a meanwhile, Lucien looked at his record to see the percentage of comprehending the Lesser Sword Dao.

The year 1990

"HEHEHE! Finally, I received the letter from Hogwarts…I'm so happy! I need to go and get Ali and Alf to ask them if they can accompany me" said Drake in a happy tone after he received an Owl which brought a letter from Hogwarts. He knows that his dad is the headmaster but even so, he needs to receive these formalities. He went to the living room of his house and suddenly a five-coloured cat of his size appeared in the middle of the room and fell on his lap, with a wave of his wand that was with him he felt the distortion in space and used "Arresto Momentum" to decrease the fall of his cat to avoid smashing him or breaking anything from the room.

"Hey Z, where did you go? I was looking for you?! "asked Drake to the Zouwu beast. The Zouwu started snuggling on his lap while opening his mouth. 

"Oh, so you went to eat, nice, nice!"

Drake started to pet the cat behind her ears and started to think about the 2 years since his 9th birthdays. He thought about how difficult it was to master the basics of Legilimens and Occlumency but at least he could already see the through the muggles thoughts and few Wizards with weak minds. He can also protect his mind against weak Legilimens spells too. He still remembers when he went to follow Hagrid in secret and discovered a passage to the muggle world and he had the idea of training Legilimens on muggles. Of course, when he returned home, there was his Dad and the prime minister of magic waiting for him. He was grounded for 1 month without using magic and his wand, hat and bag was confiscated. 

"Damm…I just don't want to be grounded ever again…it was the worst days of my life, well if don't get caught doing some pranks…I won't get grounded hehe!" said a rumbling Drake with a little evil smile on his face. Z started to shake her head while looking at him like "Oh please, just grow up already!!"

Another memory appears has he thinks about all the time he spent with Z his Zouwu beast, she started to grow and with her, the powers to warp space started to manifest and with it countless broken objects. The pranks he made to the muggles world when she escaped with him…oh it was simply too funny…and one more time the punishments were ready when he arrived home...it seems he was always caught by his Dad. 

He also thinks about how he uses his time-turner to have a few additional hours. He only goes back in time at maximum time 5 hours a day and not all days…since time laws a very strict and ageing is one big problem too. Even with these limitations, he looks older than a typical eleven years old boy.  Well at least he could master the basics of alchemy and his magic garden already has few magic plants inside it. He also discovered that alchemy is connected to potion-making and chemistry, a muggle science.  Because of this, he asked his dad to buy a few basic books about chemistry, biology, electronics and computation. With this knowledge, he could finally make some panaceas to cure some diseases and other things to calm down some beasts or to attract them. He also started to get some ideas to increase the efficiency of his experiments without spending much mana or time to do it.

He also trained in healing magic. However, to use it you need to spend a lot of magic and have perfect manipulation of it. He still hasn't achieved perfect manipulation and practising it would leave him spent for a day. He started to read some anatomy books from muggles to understand better the human body, of course, he knows that wizards and muggles are different. But most of the body is equal, except for the capacity to use magic. As he keeps thinking about the three years that passed by, Alina and Alfred returned home and see their master with an absent look.

"Young master are you okay?" asked Alina.

Drake come back to his senses and responds

"Why do you still call me young master? You are free elves now, I asked dad and he permitted me to free both you. You can call me by my name."

"We know, young master and now has free elves we want to continue you to call you young master, you can't order us now heheheh! Replied Alina, followed by a nod of Alfred.

"So, why did you call us here young master?" asked Alfred.

Drake walks to them and delivers them the letter he received. Wendy grabs the letter and opens it; she lets Alfred see it too.

..........
"Oh, it seems it was your dad who personally wrote your letter of admission" commented Alfred.

"Yeah…" replied an absent-minded Drake.

"This will be very easy for a young master; you will have a very easy time. You also have all the items here" said Alina while she finished reading it.

"Yeah, so I wanted to give you this news hehehe!" 

"Well thank you, young master. By the way, I see that Z manage to come inside without breaking anything" said Alina while she petted Z in the head, she clicks her fingers and a small piece of fresh meat appears in her hand and she gives it to Z.

"You two just spoil her too much" complained Drake.

"So, little Drake, how are the rest of your beasts?" asked Alfred.

When Alfred asked this question, Drake started to think about how he got his beasts, the first one was when he went on a trip with his dad, Alfred, Alina, Newt, and Tina. To New Zealand, and when they were travelling through the mountains and found a bunch of illegal hunters attacking an Antipodean Opaleye female Dragon. When we arrived there, we fought the illegal hunters and captured them but unfortunately, the mother dragon was dying already. According to Newt, it seems that she just delivered her baby dragons when she was attacked. Newt took them and gave me one and I called her Jade. 

Another monster that I have it, is a Swooping Devil, offered by Uncle Newt in my 10th birthday. I called her Greenie…yup all females...and finally, I have 3 headed-dog given to me by Hagrid since he had two of them. 

As Drake still thinking about the past, he woke up with Alina and Alfred waving their hands at him.

"Sorry…I was thinking about these 3 years…well, they are fine, only this guy manages to get out from the suitcase" said a nostalgic Drake.

"Young master should not be thinking about the past, but the present. So shall we go to the Gringotts bank in The Leaky Cauldron" said Alina.

"Yeah just let me grab my magic hat," said Drake, in these 3 years, he also managed to control the magic hat. He can summon with just a though objects from it but not living things. Although the objects need to be a certain size and weight...with a little magic he can summon anything directly from his suitcase.

"Okey" replied both Elves.

This is a story about a boy who was adopted by Albus Dumbledore during the first wizarding war against The Dark Lord Voldemort. Follow him and his friends, beasts and other stuff on the adventure.

P.S I don’t own the harry potter franchise or anything related to it. They belong to the J.K. Rowling and her associates.

Author notes: 
1-	This is a story that will be during the time of the cannon of harry potter. The MC will be maybe ½ years older than the trio.
2-	There will be romance and probable harem but only later. Since I don’t think 11 years old kid will start to think with their d*** at that age. And the romance will be built not like those typical harem novels where the MC sees a beautiful girl and start to f*** her.
3-	The story will be restricted (18+) of course because this will have mature content…I will warn in the titles thou.
4-	Finally, I’m noob writer…and I started to write once but I failed…since I started my master degree. The schedule will be erratic

"Could it be that herbs of the precious grade and above can't be directly consumed?" Qing Shui mused. He knew that people in his previous world actually consumed things like 100-year old ginseng with no ill effects!
　　Qing Yi patted Qing Shui on his forehead and gently said "Herbs of the common grade can be directly consumed after slight processing, but of course the percentage of medicinal strength one can absorb would only be about 10-20%. The majority of the leftover medicinal strength will be wasted. Naturally, there are some exceptions to this. When herbs are aged 500 years or more, the herbs can no longer be consumed directly. If you ignore the safety restriction, and are set on doing so, instead of helping you, the herbs will cause great harm to your body. If the herbs are of Precious Grade or higher, directly consuming it may even lead to one's death!"
　　"Ooo, then how about the herbs that cannot be directly consumed? Maybe there is a method for us to absorb the medicinal essence inside of them?" Qing Shui speculated. As the thought about it, the alchemy profession suddenly appeared in his mind.
　　"Alchemist!"
　　Seeing that Qing Shui seemed to be extremely interested in the alchemy profession, Qing Yi gave a detailed explanation "The herbs that cannot be directly consumed will need an alchemist to concoct them into pills. Using various methods, after extracting the herbal essence and finally coagulating them into the shape of a pill, they will be able to prevent the excessive loss of medicinal strength! And thus, in this way it will also be more beneficial for a cultivator to consume the pill concocted, rather than the herb itself."
　　So that's the reason why. Qing Shui understood it better now. Initially he thought that directly consuming a herb would at most only lead to a miniscule loss in the amount of energy retained. He originally thought that because the body wasn't able to absorb such a large amount of energy in one go, the excess energy would be dispersed as waste. He never expected that for herbs graded Precious or higher, the excess amount of energy would cause one's body to explode, leading to one's death!
　　"Mother, since herbs and medical ingredients can be divided into grades, what about alchemists? What is the difference between the pills created by a 3rd ranked alchemist and a 5th ranked one?"
　　"The higher ranked an alchemist is, the better the quality of his concocted pills will be. Obviously, a common ranked alchemist will find it almost impossible to refine and concoct pills of the Precious Grade." Qing Yi replied.
　　The ranks of alchemists was somewhat similar to the classifications of herbs. It was only slightly more complex in comparison. Common, Precious, Jade, King, Royal, Emperor, Saint, Divine. These 8 grades of spiritual herbs were comparable to the 8 different alchemist ranks. The only difference was that, for alchemist, each rank was further divided into 10 levels. Eg. Common-Ranked Alchemist of the 10th level.
　　"Hmm, it is actually the similar to [Western Fantasy]. The higher the rank of an alchemist, the higher the quality of concocted pills. However, I still do not know when I will be able to master the alchemy arts gifted to me by the Ancient Strengthening Technique. I wonder… If I concoct pills based on the ancient recipes from the Ancient Strengthening Technique, what grade will they be?" Qing Shui's eyes gleamed with a light, he was getting more and more excited about becoming an alchemist!
　　"The Situ Clan from Hundred Miles City wants to buy all the precious graded herbs from our Qing Clan. Could it be that they are hiding an alchemist?" Thinking back on how arrogant Situ Bu Fan acted, as well as that cold glance of Shi Qing Zhuang when she was introduced by Situ Bu Fan as his fiancee, Qing Shui could not help but clench his fist. Pieces of the puzzle began to fall in place inside his mind. "Could this be the reason why Qing Shi Zhuang was forcibly betrothed to Situ Bu Fan as his fiancee, despite her unwillingness?"
　　Qing Yi looked at Qing Shui in shock. This child… his power of deductions are almost godlike.. She smiled and rustled Qing Shui's hair and said "Your guess is correct, the reason why the Situ Clan is so illustrious in Hundred Miles City is because one of Situ Nan Tian's sons has broken through to the Jade-Ranked Alchemist level."
　　"Just a Jade-Ranked Alchemist, and yet he dares to be so arrogant?" Qing Shui exclaimed in displeasure.
　　Hearing that, Qing Yi almost coughed out blood. Using a bit of force, she tapped Qing Shui's head and said "What do you mean with 'just a Jade-Ranked Alchemist' `Do you think there are plenty of alchemists? Even in the entire Hundred Miles City, the amount of reputable alchemists can be counted on a single hand. Although the one named Lei from the Situ Clan has only reached the 1st level of the Jade-Ranked, he naturally has the ability to be arrogant!" Qing Yi giggled, half in humor and half in consternation at Qing Shui's ignorance.
　　Qing Shui gently shook his head and smiled, seeing Qing Yi happy made him happy too.
　　Only in front of Qing Yi would Qing Shui appear to be a child… A simple and naive little child.
　　"Since being an alchemist is so revered, why doesn't the Situ Alchemist leave Hundred Miles City and go to some other bigger cities to develop? Why would he want to limit himself?" Qing Shui could not understand.
　　"Hai, do you not understand the theory behind 'one would rather be a big fish in a small pond compared to a small fish in a big pond'? Over there, his status is akin to a diamond. Out there in the vast world, he may only be a piece of stone." Qing Yi explained.
　　Qing Shui finally understood!
　　"With a status of a 1st level Jade-Ranked Alchemist, he was nothing compared to the stronger alchemists out in the world." Qing Shui was getting more and more excited about the prospect of heading out into the vast world of Kyushu. It was a pity that he still did not have sufficient strength. The world outside could be fascinating, but also dangerous. Qing Shui did not want to throw away his life for nothing!
　　"Yeah, although people usually say that alchemists have terrifying might. The alchemists they are referring to are the alchemists that are King-Ranked or higher. Because those who are able to concoct King Grade or higher pills are usually Xian Tian Cultivators!
　　Qing Yi's words jolted Qing Shui out of his contemplation. "Xian Tian? A cultivator at the Xian Tian realm could wipe out Hundred Miles City with just a flick of his finger. Not to mention a Xian Tian Realm Cultivator who was also an alchemist. Just being an alchemist alone already grants one a revered status. In addition to the fact that he is a Xian Tian Realm Cultivator, to also be an Alchemist? Even the City Lord would have to show him respect!"
　　Being an Alchemist is so awesome! After all, they spent every bit of their time delving into the arts of pill concoction, sometimes even to the point of neglecting their own cultivation! If everyone could easily concoct King Grade or higher level pills, how could the alchemy profession still be considered as the profession with the most revered status?
　　"This profession truly has strict requirements needed to train in it. To produce King Grade pills or higher, one would need to be at the Xian Tian Realm. Only at the Xian Tian Realm will the cultivator be able to use their Xiantian Inner Fire to aid them in pill concoction!" Qing Shui and Qing Yi had already arrived at their own courtyard in the midst of their discussion.
　　"Although it is exceedingly tough to breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm. If I want to reach the stage of a Common, Precious or Jade-Ranked alchemist, will the requirements also be as difficult? After all, in Hundred Miles City which has a population of over 1 million people, there are only a few Jade-Ranked alchemists." Qing Shui mused.
　　"The main point is that training to be an alchemist is very tough, the prerequisite is to memorize and understand everything inside the books , and . Just this initial step alone is considered a barrier, these three books restrict 80%-90% of the people who want to become an Alchemist. It is insufficient to merely possess determination. Memorization skills and a high level of comprehension are both extremely important as well!"
　　"Only after completing the initial steps of memorizing and completely comprehending the essence of these three books will you be considered a Medical Physician. If you truly want to become an alchemist, you will need to seek out a master. Only with the guidance of a master alchemist will you be able to learn the true alchemy skills, such as essence extracting and pill concoction techniques."
　　"For pills concoction of the Common Grade to Jade Grade, the process is known as Essence Extracting. Only after you have reached the Xiantian Realm will you be capable of concocting King Grade level pills or higher with the use of Pill Concoction Techniques.
　　"Oh, I see.. Mother, those 3 books which you mentioned earlier, can I find them in our library?" Qing Shui eagerly asked.

A human warrior cultivating the Ancient Strengthening Technique has transcended dimensions and arrived on Kyushu. Together with twelve ravishing beauties with looks that were unmatched in their generation, will he be able to stand on the summit of this world?

This novel is about the main character, named Qing Shui, who transcended dimensions and arrived in the Kyushu continent. Storms of blood and wind, resulting in corpses and bones strewn about are extremely common here. The young warrior Qing Shui forged ahead in his path to cultivate, using 10 years to train himself, only to seek vengeance for the one who had forsaken his mother!

"Could it be that herbs of the precious grade and above can't be directly consumed?" Qing Shui mused. He knew that people in his previous world actually consumed things like 100-year old ginseng with no ill effects!

Qing Yi patted Qing Shui on his forehead and gently said "Herbs of the common grade can be directly consumed after slight processing, but of course the percentage of medicinal strength one can absorb would only be about 10-20%.

"This profession truly has strict requirements needed to train in it. To produce King Grade pills or higher, one would need to be at the Xian Tian Realm. Only at the Xian Tian Realm will the cultivator be able to use their Xiantian Inner Fire to aid them in pill concoction!" Qing Shui and Qing Yi had already arrived at their own courtyard in the midst of their discussion.

"Although it is exceedingly tough to breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm. If I want to reach the stage of a Common, Precious or Jade-Ranked alchemist, will the requirements also be as difficult? After all, in Hundred Miles City which has a population of over 1 million people, there are only a few Jade-Ranked alchemists." Qing Shui mused.

"The main point is that training to be an alchemist is very tough, the prerequisite is to memorize and understand everything inside the books <Continental Medical Annal>, <10,000 Herbology Encyclopedia> and <Herbal Combination Formula>. Just this initial step alone is considered a barrier, these three books restrict 80%-90% of the people who want to become an Alchemist. It is insufficient to merely possess determination. Memorization skills and a high level of comprehension are both extremely important as well!"

"Only after completing the initial steps of memorizing and completely comprehending the essence of these three books will you be considered a Medical Physician. If you truly want to become an alchemist, you will need to seek out a master. Only with the guidance of a master alchemist will you be able to learn the true alchemy skills, such as essence extracting and pill concoction techniques."

"For pills concoction of the Common Grade to Jade Grade, the process is known as Essence Extracting. Only after you have reached the Xiantian Realm will you be capable of concocting King Grade level pills or higher with the use of Pill Concoction Techniques.

"Oh, I see.. Mother, those 3 books which you mentioned earlier, can I find them in our library?" Qing Shui eagerly asked.

"What is this thing actually?" Frowning, Qin Yu examines the flaming red crystal in his hands carefully. "This crystal is unusually heavy and even radiates flaming red rays of light. The crystal itself is also warm."

Qin Yu has seen quite a lot of treasures in the princely mansion and has also read many books at Misty Villa so there are only few treasures on the Qian Long continent he still does not know about. However, when it comes to this flaming red crystal, he has absolutely no idea what it is.

Qin Yu drops the flaming red crystal. It causes a bang as it falls on the ground. Obviously it is shockingly heavy.

"Let's test its hardness first. This crystal is so heavy, moreover, that rock-shattering palm strike of mine couldn't break it, so it should be very hard." Qin Yu forms a claw with his hand then executes the Eagle Claw Art technique. He fiercely grabs at the flaming red crystal.

A loud metallic noise rises. The flaming red crystal does not get even a scratch.

"Ss ~~" Qin Yu takes a deep cold breath. He feels the 5 attacking fingers tingling. That claw strike was executed with his entire power yet he could not even scratch the crystal therefore it is easy to imagine how great its hardness is. Qin Yu frowns and thinks. Suddenly he turns around and says: "Xiao Hei, you come and test how hard this crystal is."

Xiao Hei shakes its head a couple of times in excitement. With a wave of the wings, it flies up then dives down. Using those sharp claws it grabs at the crystal ruthlessly.

A loud metallic clatter rises again but the crystal still does not get even a scratch. Xiao Hei lands on the ground and gives Qin Yu a wink, looking very disheartened as if it feels aggrieved because its claws have been defeated.

Qin Yu is dumbstruck. Only after a long time do his eyes glitter with excitement: "Ha-ha, I struck it rich. I struck it rich. Xiao Hei's claws can even tear black iron easily like paper. Their hardness can match Xian-grade weapons'. Since even his claws can't break the crystal, it's at least a precious forging material. Well, let's test again with the Yuchang sword."

Whizz!

Qin Yu makes a wave with a hand. A shaft of black light flashes by, hacking fiercely at the flaming red crystal. A clang is heard. Holding the Yuchang sword in his hand, Qin Yu looks at the flaming red crystal before him in excitement: "Such a huge piece of first-class ore is definitely a priceless treasure. Perhaps it can even be forged into high-Xian-grade weapons."

The Yuchang sword is a low-Xian-grade weapon.

Ores have to undergo many complex processes to be finally forged into weapons. But weapons are much harder than the ores they are made from. For example, the meteorites from which the Yuchang sword was forged would definitely not be able to withstand the chops made with the sword. Even the Yuchang sword cannot leave a mark on this flaming red crystal therefore its hardness must be at a shocking level.

Not even middle-Xian-grade ores can remain unblemished after being chopped at with the Yuchang sword, then how can this flaming red crystal?

"This is high-Xian-grade ore or perhaps … even better." Qin Yu's eyes shine. It is simply impossible for normal people to imagine how much a martial art expert craves for a first-rate weapon. Qin Yu, of course, has been dreaming about an absolutely excellent weapon.

The crystal itself is already so much harder than the Yuchang sword, if it is forged into weapons, then…

"Xiao Hei, let's return to the villa." Qin Yu takes off his coat and covers the flaming red crystal with it. Then he lifts the crystal up in a hug. He also knows that he cannot let everyone know about such a treasure as this crystal. Even though he does not mind, he knows the rules of the princely mansion. In the mansion, even weapons of the Yuchang sword's caliber are kept in secret, not to mention this much more precious flaming red crystal.

Hugging the 2000 jin crystal, Qin Yu immediately runs back to Misty Villa. Perhaps only he, who is so extraordinary, can carry this crystal.

At Misty Villa, Qin Yu walks out from an underground secret room in a relaxed manner.

"Carrying 2000 jin back from the depths of the forest was really a bit tiring." With a smiling expression on his face, he moves his arms about. Having obtained such a treasure, Qin Yu is in high spirits: "If father hears about this, he'll definitely be delighted."

With a smile, Qin Yu goes toward Lian Yan's habitation. Suddenly 2 people are approaching him from behind. One of them is a young man who is a bit taller than Qin Yu. The other is a delicately pretty young girl dressed in green. The young man is very robust while the young girl has dainty facial features. The most attractive thing about her is that air of delicacy.

"Brother Yu." Seeing Qin Yu, the green-clad young girl's eyes immediately brighten. She quickly runs up to him. "Brother Yu, this time you've already gone out for almost several days. Why don't you see me for a while?" The young girl mutters.

"Xiao Lu, wait until I'm free, I'll definitely spend more time with you." Qin Yu tenderly strokes Xiao Lu's head.

This green-clad young girl is none other than Xiao Lu and the young man beside her is Tie Shan. The brother and sister have asked to become Lian Yan's disciples. Xiao Lu does not like fighting or killing so she has only been practicing her internal technique and usually spends her time piping. The jade pipe on her waist was given to her as a present by Qin Yu.

"You're always saying when you have free time, but you're always busy. Brother Yu, why can't you take a break?" Xiao Lu looks a bit discontented. Her brother Yu usually says he will spend time with her when he is free, but heaven only knows when he will have free time.

"Take a break?" Qin Yu is slightly startled. From age 8 to age 18, the number of breaks Qin Yu really took can be counted on the fingers of one hand. He has always had a single-minded determination to train hard so that he can help his father as soon as possible and become a capable assistant to his father.

"Xiao Lu, don't fool around." Tie Shan reproves her then turns to Qin Yu and says with a smile: "Xiao Yu, you're looking for Master, right? He's taking a rest in the courtyard."

"Good, then I'll go find Grandpa Lian first." Qin Yu bids them a farewell then goes toward Lian Yan's place.

Xiao Lu, however, follows his back with her eyes. She slightly wrinkles her nose and says: "Brother Yu has always been busy. When will he ever have a rest?" Xiao Lu has been staying at Misty Villa for nearly 5 years so she naturally knows how hard Qin Yu trains.

"Xiao Lu, don't say that. Xiao Yu is different from us. Even though he's East Vanquishing Prince's 3rd son, he chose external practice, the most painful path in martial arts. I remember when I first came here I saw him shoving his hands into iron grains!" Tie Shan seems to be recalling that scene he saw. Shoveling iron grains could only be used as a form of training after Qin Yu's finger strength had reached a very high level. If he had used iron grains from the beginning, his fingers would have been finished.

Tie Shan's eyes are full of wonderment: "Shoveling iron grains, his fingers must've hurt as if pierced by needles. The nerves of the fingertips are linked with the heart. Xiao Lu, you simply can't imagine the pain he had to endure. However, finger strength training was only one of the numerous forms of limit training he underwent every day. From dawn till dusk, every form of training he did challenged the human body's limits. His body has always been enduring the torment of defying limits. And he's been training like this … since he was 8."

Following Qin Yu's back with his eyes, Tie Shan has nothing but admiration for him.

Following Qin Yu's back with her eyes, Xiao Lu's eyes glisten.

In her heart, brother Yu is always carefree, big-hearted, and warm like the Sun. However, this brother Yu, despite being East Vanquishing Prince's son, has been experiencing those utmost tortures to the body since 8 years old.

Despite having the Meteoric Tear, if Qin Yu wants to make use of its positive effects, he also has to train until reaching a physical limit. He has to train his fingers until they hurt as if broken off. He has to do deep squats until his legs have muscle cramps and his head is pounding … Only when he reaches a physical limit will the Meteoric Tear release its fantastic power.

If he wants to get something, he has to pay first.

In order to reach his current level, Qin Yu has paid a lot, an awful lot.

In Lian Yan's courtyard, Lian Yan is lying in a deck chair, drinking tea and enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

"Grandpa Lian."

As soon as he hears Qin Yu's familiar voice, Lian Yan smiles to the point where his eyes start to narrow. He turns to Qin Yu and says with a smile: "Xiao Yu, it's so hard to see you. It's still light now, yet you already returned from training." Lian Yan is always unable to suppress his delight when he sees Qin Yu, just like how a grandpa can never help rejoicing at seeing his grandson.

Qin Yu goes up to him through the door of the courtyard. He wants to find a forging expert to handle that flaming red crystal. Naturally, when he wants to find a forging expert, the 1st thing he thinks about is to ask Lian Yan.

In a galaxy far away, there is a kid with an innate inability to practice internal techniques. In order to gain the respect of his father, he resolutely chooses to follow the more difficult and painful path of practicing external techniques. As the years go by, he grows up, but what really changes his life is a mysterious meteoric crystal stone — the Meteoric Tear. This stone fuses with the young man’s body unnoticed, and he seems to undergo drastic transformations as a result. After that, everything is changed. Eventually his father knows that the son for whom he hasn’t really shown a lot of consideration possesses astonishing abilities. And there’s a lot more to come.

When he returned from the world river, surprisingly, the beast crystals and lion tiger beasts that Zong Shou and the others had on him didn't need to be handed up.
Zong Shou found it surprising. That final grade 9 beast seemed to be afraid of something, retreating by itself.
Was it some elder from within the sect that helped scare it off?
Or was it afraid of the strength of his dharma?
Although he didn't understand the situation, it was a good thing to be able to protect these things.
Each of the baby lion tiger beasts could be sold for a sky high price. As for those beast crystals, just the grade 9 lion tiger beast core was worth a huge amount.
As for soul stones, they were directly shattered by his one origin white sword.
Returning to the Merit Hall to hand in the mission. This time the deacon Fuwu had a dark and sunken face.
When Zong Shou took out his small heaven and earth bag and handed in all the obtained materials and beast crystals--pouring them all out in the small building-- the deacon's face was extremely ugly.
"Great great senior master, cheating isn't right!"
Zong Shou was delighted, he would always hear such words once every day.
"What cheating? Didn't you all check the things we had on us before we left?"
"But, but…"
Fuwu hesitated, looking at the people in front of him with a doubtful gaze.
In just half a day, there were thousands of grade 6 beast crystals and close to hundred grade 7 and grade 8 crystals ended together.
...Furthermore, there was an extremely pure metal element grade 9 beast crystal!
He knew that Zong Shou's sword path was exquisite. Even Jueyu was defeated by him. He could be compared to half a grade 9, but it was only half. It was impossible for him to defeat a grade 9 beast.
This was why this great great senior master Zong must have definitely cheated! Only, he couldn't manage to think of how he cheated.
Zong Shou's face had sunk down, putting on a face and coldly scoffing. Fuwu was helpless. After carefully calculating, he wrote the numbers beside Zong Shou's name on a leaderboard, changing it to 2.37 million. The total merit points were close to half more than that of the name behind him.
Zong Shou calmly looked at it. Then, he exclaimed. There was one more name on the list which was actually that of Shui Lingbo's.
Yesterday, she was nowhere to be seen but today she had already popped up. 150 thousand merit points, just behind Fangwen and Xuexi.
It wasn't that these 2 people weren't as strong as him. The former needed to take care of the palace whilst the latter was in deep cultivation--to make up for those 20 years of time where he didn't focus on cultivating.
That woman also returned back to common people palace?　
He was thinking that way in his heart. Fuwu suddenly leaned on his ears and said happily, "Great great senior master! Elder Han has ordered that you can quit this world river cleaning matter. He says there is a more important matter for you…"
Zong Shou was delighted. However, his expression didn't change, flatly acknowledging. Then, he squinted as he looked towards Fuwu, waiting for him to continue.
It was naturally a joyous matter not needing to clean the world river. However, the important matter after, whether or not he should take up the matter would be up to his mood.
Today, it could be said that he had forcefully completed the mission, doing his duty for the common people path. That old man Hanfang couldn't command him anymore.
Fuwu didn't speak about any specifics, just passing a jade letter to the front of Zong Shou.
"Elder Han said that if great great senior master accepts, this it would be for the best. If not, then he will find someone else. You can ponder about it, please give a reply within a day."
Zong Shou was shocked, receiving the jade letter. With just a slight use of spiritual sense, a decent sized information wave charged into his mind.
Scanning carefully, his brows furrowed, "So that is the case!"
Just thinking for a moment, Zong Shou kept that jade letter into his sleeves.
"I, Zong Shou, will accept this matter!"
The matter was simple. It would take 3 days to and fro, and it was also along the way. It didn't seem like it was a tough matter, it was within his ability.
What was most important was the last sentence which said that after the matter, he could relax for the next 5 years.
Walking out of the Merit Hall, at the corner of his eyes, Zong Shou sharply noticed a red person flash across. He didn't know where it went.
"That should be your senior master Fairy Lingbo? Am I that scary?"
Zhao Yanran also looked out, her face extremely weird, wanting to laugh but not daring to. She knew that Shui Lingbo's senses were sharp and remembered people who offended her. He could only muddily reply, "Disciple doesn't know! Maybe great great senior master has seen it wrongly…"
Zong Shou laughed to himself, but he also felt a little worried. He didn't dare to offend this explosive Fairy Lingbo. The corner of his lips curled up as he made his way away.　
Separating from Zong Yuan, Zhao Yanran and the others, Zong Shou headed straight for the method teaching Pavillion and technique teaching pavillions. During this half a month, whenever he was free, he would run there to use those 3 million merit points to exchange for all the sword techniques and secret techniques that he was interested in.
He didn't go just for those of high grade. On the contrary, he started to look from grade 2 techniques. Starting from low to high, from shallow to deep.
In the last life what he paid attention to most was the foundations. However, due to him being alone, his foundations were not considered stable.
At this moment, the common people vast habitat books were a giant treasure to Zong Shou.
In the past, he would totally understand one book, comprehending it fully before exchanging for the next.
However, today he just breezed through. Forcefully remembering all the words and pictures and that was that.
In the next 3 days, he did the same thing. Close to a thousand of books that he had never seen in the last life were memorized in his mind.
On the day when Zong Shou used up ¼ of the 3.2 million merit points, a spiritual sword and 2 agate stone black boxes were sent together to the 1st Courtyard A.
The sword was called broken Tan, grade 9 spiritual sword. It was something Zong Shou custom made from the sect for 100 thousand merit points. The top-grade artifact blacksmiths in the sect were in charge of crafting it.
The quality was high, 2 grades higher than that fire yin sword. However, since they didn't have enough time, it was unable to get even higher.
However, if he created a magical treasure grade weapon, he could probably only look at it and not be able to use it.
The entire sword was black and white, looking a little weird. It also had a sword sheath, a total of 2. When he was Tanqiu it would be broken Tan, the sword was blue. If he was Zong Shou then it was the white sword body, the same as the fire yin sword from before.
As for what was within those 2 agate stone boxes, it was a set of needles, a set of flying knives which were what Zong Shou exchanged with merit points. 　
The former had 365 golden needles which were all grade 6. Alone it wasn't strong and it didn't have anything special about it. However, it was tough and fire-resistant, tough to melt.
It could form into a spiritual formation, not only gathering fire and lightning element spiritual energy, but it could also greatly increase the strength.
It was what Zong Shou was going to use to cast lightning blaze thousand flash.
3 days ago, during the battle against the beasts, the grade 3 flying needles he used were all destroyed.
Even the most tough ones were unable to last more than 4 breaths before it was melted. If not, his lightning blaze thousand flashes would last for longer and have much stronger killing strength.
If he used this set of flying needles, it would definitely feel good to use it to kill and burn people.
As for that set of flying knives, it was also called cloud flame. It was the strengthened version of the grade 3 cloud flame flying knives. A total of 64 of them which were all grade 6.
The amount of merit points spent was several times that of the golden needle.
Even that agate stone jade box was also specially made. The moment the flying knife that he nurtured to the extreme was hidden within, it would be able to maintain the peak state for 10 years.
It meant that the number of flying knives he could use could be increased by several times.
That night, he slightly refined the broken Tan sword. On the second day, Zong Shou left common people vast habitat, using the teleportation jade letter to return to Gantian Mountain city.
Renbo was really skilled, managing the city and its direct cities in an orderly manner. Although the cloud continent had many dark currents flowing and the war was imminent, it was still really peaceful within the borders.
Qiuwei, Hu Qianqiu, and the others were experienced in army matters and great generals on the battlefield. The other ten generals during Zong Weiran's era were also skilled and had great skills.
The 400 thousand expansion of troops was already mostly completed. All the border troops were all equipped with spiritual weapons and spiritual armor--silently getting into positions to prepare for the war.
There were 300 more people in the blood cloud cavalry. Now there were 4 million spiritual arrows that were accumulated.
Everything was completed in an orderly and secret manner.
However, Zong Shou knew that it wasn't all good news.
1 message was from Kongqi Sect which was that Qiaohan was unable to convince the sect.
Lingyun Sect and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect were investigating where Kongqi Sect crafted spiritual artifacts were going to.
Apart from the amount of spiritual artifacts bought by Gantian mountain, they could confirm that Kongqi Sect had been cooperating with Gantian Mountain in these few years.
During these half a month, they were purposely repelling and ostracising Kongqi Sect.
"As expected, this world doesn't lack smart people…"
Zong Shou laughed in disdain, not bothering at all. He wouldn't care even if Lingyun Sect found out. The real killers were the blood cloud cavalry.　
The wings were already formed. Even if Lingyun Sect found out about their presence, there was nothing they could do. It would only affect the amount of benefits they got from the war.
With Lingyun Sect's skill, they would retract back their head which had just stretched out. This was not what he wanted.
The 2nd matter was that the situation within Pill Fountain Sect was a bit weird.
Old man Mingdan had not shown himself for a long time. The ones in charge had changed to several elders.
That Li Yuandan seemed to have a little power.
However, no matter how Xuanyuan Tong and he persuade Xuanyuan Yiren, she wasn't willing to come back.
Zong Shou felt a huge headache. He thought about it for a long time and was still unable to solve the situation. He couldn't take the initiative to run up right…
However, he needed to be wary about this matter. He at least needed a way to protect Xuanyuan Yiren's life.


Zong Shou awakened from a dream and realised that he had crossed into a world 10,000 years in the past. An era before the God Emperor appeared.
What is a God Emperor? Invincible in all parts of the universe, the ruler of the world!
Zong Shou who was half human half monster, with such a weak body, would begin his journey here. To rise up in this bloody and heartless era, onto a path of lustful life surrounded by beauties, looking down on all life with disdain.

Now pleased with the fact that he already felt stronger just from his first day of lessons, Lance wasted no time while back in his room and began reading more about alchemy so that soon, he would be able to try and start down that trade. 

And so, with many new goals in his mind, and teachers who wanted nothing more than for him to succeed, Lance continued as a student for two years and would only learn about new clan affairs through letters delivered to him. 

As expected, Lance was able to breakthrough into the 1st rank as a mystic after only the first month of his training, while now he was very close in breaking through to the 2nd rank. However, what shocked everyone who was paying attention in the Griffin Academy, Lance was able to in this time, also break into the 2nd rank as a warrior. 

The Griffin Academy, preferred students to remain lower ranked mystics, so that they could be well above average during each breakthrough, however, even with this in mind, Lance's willingness to spend all day into night training and becoming stronger and researching more, has allowed him to grow his strength a a normal mystic student at a different academy would without such shackles. 

Over the two years, Lance was now able to create 1st grade medical pills using the cauldron that the academy provided to every student. Due to this, Lance was able to build a small amount of wealth, while bartering with the teacher in charge of the school's finances to allow him to purchase materials at a low price. 

It was looked down upon by many jealous students, but because of his physical strength as a 2nd rank warrior expert, Lance was able to spar with mystics of the 2nd and 3rd ranks without falling too far behind. Each spar usually ended with Lance running out of strength from being bombarded by countless spells, or him getting close enough to his opponent in order to land a critical blow. 

With the help of Lily, Lance had learned more about the human anatomy and was even given some books on demonic beast's anatomies. With this level of knowledge, Lance's healing type techniques and skills became even stronger and more effective. However, Lily made it clear that he was still only a beginner as far as being a light elemental mystic was concerned. 

After attending both the introductory class in the morning and training with Lily in the afternoon for one year, Lily put in a request for Lance to allow his schedule to be altered. She understood half way through the year that Lance wanted to become a dual master and was showing very good progress in this regard, so she wanted to support this. 

Therefore, the dean also approved for Lance to spend his mornings training with his swordsmanship among other basic exercises which most experts of the warrior path would do daily to keep up with their training, while in the afternoon, Lily would help teach him many different light element skills. 

Some of these skills were of course for healing himself and his companions, but there were other types of basic skills that Lily wanted to teach him including creating a ball of light in order to light up a dark area, to even skills using the light element in more unconventional ways. 

And of course after dinner for several hours before falling asleep, Lance spent that time working on his alchemy skills and research. It was a normal speed of growth for an individual who wanted to become an alchemist to reach the level to create 1st grade pills within the first two years, but since Lance wasn't focused on this all day every day, it showed that he actually had what it took to genuinely succeed in this type of trade. 

Due to his recent breakthrough into reaching a one hundred percent success rate with creating 1st grade pills, Lily told Lance that he could take one week off from attending her class and should use this time to celebrate his success over the past two years. At first, Lily wasn't very fond of Lance, but seeing him grow at such an astonishing rate, allowed her to warm up more to him and care more about his well being and future. 

Now that it was a full week later after discussing this with her, Lance was now eagerly training his swordsmanship in the morning and was excited to see Lily once again to see what type of new training she might have in mind for him. He was now like a sponge that constantly absorbed information and was able to pick things up right away. 

This was not unusual for someone of the mystic path, because mystics were forced to become more in tune with the natural environment around them. In this regard, it allowed mystics to use their intelligence and mental capabilities for a much longer period of time.

With his clan declining quickly, Lance has no choice but to do what many experts choose not to, become a dual master; training as both a warrior and a mystic.

Only by becoming stronger on a much harder journey, would Lance have the opportunity to not only assist his clan, but to take one step closer to immortality!

"Should we go? Ginny's down there!" It was Harry's voice.
Ah, I must be having a vision of the altered future.
Alex could see everything clearly now. It was Ron and Harry standing over the open entrance to the chamber in Myrtle's bathroom.
Ron spoke, "You remember what Alex said, a Basilisk is down there!"
"Yeah, but she said I defeated it. We can't wait anymore Ginny is down there, dying!"
Ron hesitated.
Shit.
A look of horror dawned on Alex's face as she realized what her reveal caused. Before they didn't truly know about the basilisk. They had a clue from Hermione but what if Alex's involvement changed Hermione's curiosity and ability to find out the truth. The Harry Potter story plot is fragile and based on a series of delicate accidents. Alex may have revealed the ending but the courage to fight along the journey slacked because they knew how it would end. They found out that everything turned out fine and they were heroes. They must have figured that the ending was set in stone so they put no real effort into their search.
Ron looked guilty. But he still hesitated, he muttered harshly under his breath, "Bloody basilisk down there!"
Harry finally looked determined, he gave Ron one last pleading look. They seemed to share the same thought because Harry jumped in and right on his tail was Ron.
Alex's vision swirled and changed. She was watching Harry and Ron crying over a corpse. Ginny's corpse. She lay dead at their feet. Harry looked over to the journal on his left and a young Tom Riddle who was laughing at them. Harry stood and ran towards the dead basilisk. He grabbed a tooth and stabbed the journal. Just like the story should be. Except, because of the boy's hesitation. Because of Alex telling them the truth. Ginny was now dead. Alex felt tears slide down her cheeks and she closed her eyes.
She opened them to find herself in her dorm. Her hair was sticking to the sides of her face with sweat. She sat up and saw the sun just barely over the horizon.
"What cowards. I've really fucked the timeline, and this time it cost Ginny's life."
Alex noticed her roommates were still asleep so she decided to take her shower before they could interrupt her, or run away in fear.
After taking a shower she put on her pants and tucked in her shirt. She left her new Slytherin loose around her neck. She wouldn't get in trouble but a strict teacher would yell at her to tighten it back in her old world. Thinking back to her old life she had a new resolve. She had to save every life she could possibly save, so people wouldn't have to suffer painful deaths as she and her brother had.
She grabbed her school bag and walked out of her dorm room. Nobody was in the common room so she didn't have to interact with anyone. She got out into the dungeon hallway.
Alex had a destination. She had a goal now. She was headed towards the Griffindor tower to scold Ron and Harry. She passed a few students who decided that the floor looked more interesting than watching where they were going, so she witnessed some students walking straight into walls.
She passed a first-year Griffindor student with a black eye being supported by two other students with busted lips and red cheeks. Those students ran away from her in fright. There must have been a fight in the common room, she could hear the commotion from outside the painting. Another two students with messed up clothes and black eyes rushed out the painting not even bothering that Alexis entered right after they left.
What she saw surprised her. Her brother standing over another student with Harry Potter holding him back so he couldn't hit the student again. Peter looked furious. Alexis knew the argument must have started over her, otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry.
Nobody noticed her entrance so she hid behind some students watching. The kid on the floor shouted, "You both are bloody cursed! You're evil! You shouldn't even be in Griffindor! You belong in the dungeons with the snakes and that wretched sister of yours!" After he said that Peter broke out of Harry's hold and started beating the boy's face. Alex stepped forward and the students she hid behind coward away from her at the sight of her white hair. She passed Harry and gave him a nod of thanks. He stepped back.
Peter was still beating on the boy until now but Alex placed a hand on his shoulder. Peter immediately stopped. He looked over his shoulder and saw his sister. He stood up and kicked the boy away. Peter and Alex were the same height so when they looked at each other their eyes locked.
'Stop hurting people based on their small words. They can't hurt us.' Peter read my thoughts again. He nodded and fixed his sleeves that he had previously rolled up. Harry handed him his bag and Peter and Ginny left the common room together. I stopped Harry from following him. Naturally, Ron stayed with Harry.
Some students in the common room were waiting for more action but were disappointed when they saw Harry and I get along well. The common room was soon empty.
"Boys, I need to speak with you about a change in the timeline."
At the mention of the timeline, they both stiffened.
"Ginny dies."
"What!" They both yelled at the same time.
"Hear me out," They stopped talking, "You boys knew what was in the chamber this time so you hesitated to jump in. This hesitation was the last bit of time that let Ginny slip away."
"So because we hesitated, Ginny died." Harry was dumbstruck. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he hesitated. That wasn't Griffindor of him at all.
Ron looked pale again. The thought of losing his baby sister was unbearable for him. He looked determined to change his sister's fate.
Alex interrupted their thoughts, "I've decided to help you take down the basilisk."
"How? It's not like there's a book for how to fight basilisks. Is there?"
"No there isn't unless you want to count Gilderoy Lockhart's fake books then no. I want to enchant a weapon that will aim for certain parts of the basilisk so I can blind in first. I'm thinking of a bow and a set of arrows. I need to know what weapons you boys think you can handle. So I can make you some suitable equipment."
Harry answered for Ron and himself, "We should both be able to use our wands, thanks though."
"Suit yourselves." I shrugged. It's not like I'm going to let them die, they just won't be much help in the fight.
"That's extremely difficult! You're just a first-year how can you know how to enchant anything?!" Ron seemed unable to believe Alex's claims that she could make a suitable weapon for fighting the basilisk.
"I think you forget who you're talking to Ronald. I'll see you boys, later. Oh, and thank you Harry for trying to help my brother."
"No problem."
I left their common room and headed to the library to look for Hermione. Alex wanted to ask her if she knew any books or a section of the library dedicated to researching different weapon enchantments. Although Grindelwald taught her a lot about enchantments they were most deadly and aimed to kill humans. She needs enchantments to kill a basilisk.
She spotted Hermione at a table surrounded by books on Herbology.
"Hermione."
"Huh? Oh, Alexis. Nice to see you here. Do you need anything? Books?"
"Yes, actually I need to know if there's a book here about enchanting weapons. And if there's anything here about killing a basilisk. I've decided to help you, Harry, and Ron to kill the beast."
"Oh. I was going to research basilisks but when you told us we end up winning I stopped. The section for snake research is over there and right next to it are a few books on weapon and armor enchantment. Have you decided you use an enchanted weapon to kill the snake?"
"Yes. Thank you, Hermione. I'll be going now."
We waved bye to each other and separated. The sections she pointed to were in a dark corner of the library and tinted window was the only source of light. I had an hour to kill before my first class so I sat at the window seat and grabbed a book on how to kill different snakes. There wasn't a mention of how to kill a basilisk, just to avoid getting into contact with them.
I read for the rest of the hour. I left the book on the shelve and headed toward the great hall to get my timetable.

Alex headed towards charms for her first class. She was able to avoid the crowds this morning but she wasn't sure she would fend off the spotlight during her classes.

Twins who died in 2018, murdered by their parents. Get transported in the bodies of the two Grindelwald children.

I have never been at the same school long. In kindergarten I was in one school. Then in 1st I moved to a different school. In 2nd I went to another, and in 3&4 grades I went the same school. In 5th I went to the same school as kindergarten. In 6th I went to an IB and in 7&8& currently 9th, I went to a really good school that everyone in the city wants to go to. 

I wasn't all that upset at switching from the IB to my current school because I could be in the current school until I graduate high school. But around 6th grade I learned the lesson that karma was trying to teach me, but I went about correcting the mistakes the wrong way. 

I shut my self down. I slowly closed my self off. Turned into an introvert. I went from that dirty minded, wild, fun, moody girl to a closed off, shy, quiet, book loving, heartless and cold girl. It was hard. In 6th grade I wasn't that bad, but when I transferred to 7th it got really bad. I couldn't even make eye contact. It was awful. I would stay away from everyone and read my book. I would get lost in my own mind. Even to this day, my mind is my safe spot. I started to call myself, the new me; and the wild girl, the old me.

Even when I was the old me, I always loved books. I love getting lost in a story that makes me feel like I'm on a cloud. I like to call it book drunk. When I get book drunk, I barely register what I'm doing. Like a robot. I get good grades from memorizing what's taught and stuff, but I barely notice it. I sit there in class and think about my book and fantasy's. It's a wonderful feeling. 

In 8th grade I made a really good friend, I call her Kimmy; as in Kimmy Gibler. My step mom came up with it because Kimmy always acts like Kimmy Gibler from Fuller House. Sure I had friends in 7th grade, but the only thing we had in common was the Harry Potter books so I distanced myself from them. To be honest, they were boring to me. Like I care about make-up, boys, and all that junk. To me that's all useless.

My birthday is in the beginning of the year, it sucks because I'm always one of  the oldest; either at home or at school. I never get a break. Well anyways, a few days before my birthday I entered this amazing world. I slowly became an otaku! Today I am really deep in the otaku world. I opened the doors of yaoi, the hardcore and softcore. I have no regrets.

Kimmy doesn't understand me at all. She is really strict with her religion and she has really strict parents. She thinks yaoi is gross, it's infuriating. But I just learned to stop bringing it up. She locked the doors yaoi and threw away the key.

Do you believe in karma? Well, the main character of this short story does. Read how karma affects her life. How she gets punished by her mistakes. See how her lives changes over and over again. First love, family feuds, oldest of many siblings, and a hard life for the lead. There are no names in the novel. I’m not very good at that stuff, sorry about that.
