Just an idea I had, feel free to build off it!

Hi. This is the author, Seventh_Sin, here. This is the first original novel that I want to publish on Webnovel (that I'm actually using free time to write) and I'm hoping for some feedback on my work. Actually, this is not the first novel I've published, but my first was an experiment with a story I wrote two years ago. This will be the first novel I'm writing in my free time.

However, this is not going to update a lot because I'm a student, pretty young actually, and I have 7 exams to take at the end of this school semester: three grade-level and four advanced courses. To work on this novel and keep up my grades is going to be hard for me, so I just wanted to warn readers (if there ever will be any). 

I'm releasing the prologue but it'll be a miracle if I can ever upload chapter 1. 

I don't really have much free time, sorry...T-T

When all hell breaks loose...which side will you be on?

TLDR: As with every end of a book, I will be taking a break and will resume posting on 12th November 2018. I know, it's a longer break than usual, but since it is the end of Act One, I think it should be justified... Oh and since this author thoughts is really long, it really is a too long didn't read, lol.

Hi there guys! Linodo here! WE FINALLY MADE IT!!! We finally made it to the end of ACT ONE!!! *Confetti pops!* Haha, that's right, these first four books are actually part of one act. I know, I know, if it took me about five to six months to complete one act, how long would it actually take for me to finish the entire story?! Three years? Five years? Or should I go full Oda and write it for twenty plus years?

Well, joking aside, I didn't plan for my writing to take this long. If you followed me from the start, you would have known that I wrote Book One in just one month during my semester break. Naturally, the chapter length and quality of writing have been steadily improving (at least in my opinion), so there's that, but the real issue that I have is time management. As a final year university student, school is my full-time job. The most important thing that I must focus on is my school, even if it means decreasing the release rate of Spirit Immortal. And let me tell you, it sure was a challenge. University courses were tough enough, now I have even less time to study and do assignments? There were even times where I just wanted to write an apology letter to you guys and drop the entire novel altogether. However, there was no way that I could do that. Why?

Because I love writing.

I don't know why, no matter how stressed I am, when the clock ticks ever closer to 11 pm, I look forward to when my chapter to go live so that I can see how you guys liked it. You guys don't know it, but there were many days where I would refresh my latest chapters just so that I could see your thoughts about the chapter. In fact, I might be refreshing this chapter right now! Hahaha! So don't be shy to leave a comment or a review about the novel. Let me tell you now, the fear of an author isn't a negative comment or a negative review, the true fear is that no one reads your work.

Before I go in depth about the things you guys really want to know, let me tell you a little bit of my background. As many of you already know, I am an avid anime fan and got into reading web novels because I wanted to read light novels (the source material of a significant portion of anime). To tell you the truth, I didn't like reading books growing up. That's why my English is somewhat lacking as compared to most authors. I did, however, love watching shows/movies/cartoons. I watched many Chinese/Hong Kong dramas, American movies when the K-Wave first started I'd even watched Korean dramas. But, my one true love was still anime. I grew up watching Inuyasha, Shaman King, Naruto, One Piece, Katekyo Hitman Reborn… The list goes on… 

The peak of my anime obsession came when I was about 13-15. Those three years, I probably watched like two-three hundred anime titles, and that's when my life really changed. I watched timeless pieces like Code Geass, FMA, Cowboy Bebop, Fate/Zero, Hunter X Hunter… I delved into comedy anime like Baka Test (which I finished reading on Baka-Tsuki), Daily Lives of High School Boys, Seto no Hanayome, Seitokai Yakuindomo, Niichijou… I had even watched Shoujo anime (even though I was not a young girl) like Seitoukaichou wa Maid-sama, Ouran High School Host Club, Kimi ni Todoke and thoroughly enjoyed them.

However, up till that point, watching anime was just an entertainment hobby of mine. Only after I was exposed to Slice of Life anime did my opinion change. I first watched Angel Beats, and when the ending came, I found myself in tears. I was amazed at how a single storyline could affect my emotions that much. Following that, I binged watch several Slice of Life anime. Air, Kanon and so on. One day, at the peak of my obsession, I discovered a little title called Clannad. I soon discovered that it was by the same company that made some of the titles that I'd watched before, so I went into it with some high hopes. And well, season one was touching, but it was well within my expectations, after watching Angel Beats and whatnot. However, Clannad had something that the other titles did not. A second season. Curious, I thought, well why not?

Boy, was I not prepared for that fucking second season… Clannad: After Story destroyed me. If any of you haven't watched it, stop reading this post and go watch it now. I don't care if you drop my story, I'm just content that I had enriched your lives by letting you know how awesome After Story is. For the first time in my life, after watching a series, I felt empty. I felt as if there was an endless void that ripped my heart in half and that feeling lasted for a solid week. Ever heard of feels train? Clannad: After Story is like getting run over by the feels train while the conductor used the feels bat to hit you every single second. So, once I was finished griefing, I thoroughly reflected upon my experience. How could a story, that had no living creatures in any part of its production, tear me into shreds emotionally? Then, I had an epiphany. It was all about the story. You see, all forms of entertainment that I enjoyed, movies, dramas, anime, manga, light novels, video games, they all had one thing in common. They all had a story. It sounds stupid to say, but it was something that my young mind had pieced together. So, a slight flicker of passion started to burn within me. I wanted to write stories that made people feel that way.

As I grew older, I started watching many more mature animes, like Kara no Kyoukai, Death Parade, Death Note that all had a theme of morality behind it. Instead of the emotional train wreck that Clannad had put me through, it made me question the existence of everything, something that very little Hollywood or Chinese/Korean/Japanese drama ever could. Also, let me shout out a little-known anime called "The Legend of the Legendary Heroes." Severely underrated in my opinion and I can't seem to get my friends to start it. Perhaps you guys would after reading through this post. :p

I wanted to be like Maeda Jun (writer of Clannad, Angel Beat and Kanon) and write touching and thought-provoking titles, and what better way than to write a web novel? Naturally, I'm nowhere near the level of Maeda Jun and the folks at Key, but I'm trying my hardest. After all, how could I climb Mount Everest without taking the first step? If I could make you guys feel even a fraction of what I felt after watching Clannad: After Story, then I'm content. 

So yeah, before this turns into an anime recommendation section, let's talk about the pacing of the story, which was a significant issue that had been brought up by multiple users. As a novice writer, I'm still trying to figure out when I should speed up the pace and when there should be more exposition. At the start of this novel, I had a more direct 'tell not show' writing style which is something that I am still trying to fix till this day. Furthermore, I feel that my writing has a systematic structure that had been ingrained into me due to my numerous years of schooling and learning how to write reports, essays and whatnot. That's why I have been reading multiple successful author's works, trying to find the best style that fits me. Trust me, I have been researching. I read many successful works and analysed their styles. I took time off going to social events just so that I could read/write more. After all, I want to improve my writing. I want to deliver the awesome story of Spirit Immortal (I'll get to that later) in the best possible writings to you guys. In conclusion, my writing style still is a work in progress, and I hope that you could bear with me as I continue my experimentation.

Okay, now that the soapy stuff is out of the way, let's discuss the actual story. This is something that I don't often do in Author's Thoughts or any comments in general as I am not a good secret keeper. I'm afraid that I might accidentally divulge everything, in an accidental comment or otherwise. So I'll try to be very careful here.

The theme of Act One is family. Or to be more precise, what is a family? This is something that I had deliberated on for years, even before I decided to become an author. In Chinese culture, there is this saying, "Blood is thicker than water." I'm sure many of you who are frequent readers of eastern fantasy have come across this quote. However, one day I asked the question. Is blood really thicker than water? Why is it that just because someone is related to you, they must be closer than anyone else in the world? That's how the idea of the orphans came about. I wanted to explore the relationships between children, who have no clue about whether their related or not, and see whether they can be as close as real family. Furthermore, I wanted to see if the adults that adopted them, in this case, the First Elder, the Instructor, etc. would treat them as if they were their own children. And I tried to show you guys that they genuinely loved for the orphans, albeit in a flawed way.

Let me give another hypothetical example. A child was adopted as a baby by a foster family. The child was loved for, cared for and even treated as the most important family member by those who had no blood relations to him. However, one day, when the baby is grown to be fifteen years of age, the biological mother demands that the foster family hand over the child back to her custody. Is it truly right? If we're going by the doctrine that "Blood is thicker than water," the child should be reunited with his mother. However, she is no longer part of his 'family.' There had been no ties of love, memories shared or anything that could bind the two together. The foster family, which had treated him as their own son, is now his true 'family.' That's why when Shin found out about the truth of the Awter Clan, he didn't go full on rage mode and vow to kill everyone who had the Frie Clan's blood. It was because even though he is the heir of the Awter Clan, in his mind, he had no ties to it. 

Junius, on the other hand, is the polar opposite. He loved his family and would do anything in his power to reunite the orphans with their rightful 'family,' those that shared the blood of the Awter Clan. Although his purpose is righteous, his methods are flawed, which led to the unhappy circumstances in 'The Unfulfilled Promise.'

And now… We are finally addressing the elephant in the room. I'm sure many of you who read the last chapter are just dying to wait for me to talk about this. The deaths of Ariel, Lily and Linus. 

When I planned out the entire story, this was the turning point of everything. Ariel's death. The promise that had been made in chapter one will forever remain unfulfilled. I had actually run into some issues when I first started to write book four. A problem that no author should have… I didn't want to kill off Ariel. I had grown too attached to her antics, and I wanted Shin and her to remain together and become some sort of power couple. I had even toyed with the idea of re-planning the story from scratch just to keep her alive. However, the more I thought about it, the more it would ruin my beautiful ending. If Ariel lived, the ending wouldn't make any sense. So, I stuck to my guns, and I wrote the initially planned story, as much as I didn't like to. I'm sure that there will be many who will dislike my choice to kill Ariel and might even drop the novel altogether. And that's fine. I can't force you to read my story anyway.

I'm sure you guys can tell that I try my best to avoid the Wuxia/Xianxia cliche storylines that follow the same arc over and over. However, that, in turn, means that my writing style has to flesh out many details so that you guys can follow the story. So bear with me on that. Each Act will follow a theme. For instance, Act One's theme is family and Act Two's theme is… Well, read to find out!

The future of Spirit Immortal is unknown, even to me. I will be starting my internship soon and possibly, a job offer might come. Once I have the job, there would be so much less time for me to write so I don't know if I can continue my daily releases. Especially since I'm not getting paid to write and this is essentially my hobby. However, I promise you this, as long as there are readers, I will continue to write. I just love the story too much to just walk away. I will try to finish the story within two-three years, but as it stands now, I don't know if that's a reasonable estimate. So, who knows what the future would bring?

Alright, I shouldn't talk anymore lest I accidentally leak my entire storyline to you guys. To be honest, I have been dropping many hints about the end of Act One, and I'm sure many of you caught on early. In truth, I had also dropped subtle hints about the final ending in many of the chapters. I wonder if you guys have picked up on some… 

If you like the story, feel free to leave a review or a comment in the latest chapter, especially for my readers on Webnovel. I don't get notifications if you post comments on older chapters so I won't be able to respond. Please don't ask questions hinting for spoilers. As I explained earlier, I'm not good at keeping secrets so I will ignore the question altogether.

Thank you for supporting Spirit Immortal! Do leave a comment or review that tells me how you think about the novel! I hope that you have a lovely week ahead! Till next time! :D

Over a million years ago, the first human contracted with the first Spirit. Ever since then, Spirit use has become commonplace. Humans used Spirits to carry items and start fires. Eventually, even start wars. Thousands upon thousands of years past and one day, one human did the impossible. He transcended his mortality and ascended to the realm above.  

In the present day, the Frie Clan was once a great clan of the Himmel empire. However, a devastating battle ten years ago crippled the clan and their numbers dwindled. To make up for their loss, the upper echelons decided to adopt young orphans and nurture them to become a future pillar of the weakened clan. Shin was one of those orphans. 

Although picked up by the Frie Clan, not all is smooth sailing for Shin and the other orphans...

"Look, he is the lord!"
"He is so young… wait, its that… a cane?"
"He is crippled?"
"So young and in that condition…"
A lot of people were surprised by Alfonso's appearance, it was understandable after all, not every day you see a young man with a cane and an eyepatch.
"Ar-are you really the lord?" Asked someone among the crow.
"Yep, I am" Said Alfonso.
He looked at everyone and walked slowly to the platform, he had a smile on his face, however, his steps were firm and steady.
"As I was saying, welcome, everyone, to Wasteland Valley, from today onwards, you will be living in this beautiful land, as you might have heard, this land was unfertile and dead, however, with the efforts of everyone here, we made this land alive once again, feel free to see it for yourself later; everyone here will have their own house for free, don't thank me yet, because this benefit comes with a condition, all the people above eighteen have to work, as what work would be? That would depend on your abilities, however, don't worry, every job has its own benefits and you will have a fixed schedule, so you won't have to work overtime… as for those below eighteen, they have two options,  join the army or enroll  in the university, those who choose the later one will have a one year period to show result, we will provide the best teachers we have and materials, however, if you don't show the results that I expect, then, you will have to join the army and pay a fee to the university, so choose carefully, if you want more details, the university will open in two weeks, you can ask Susana, this young lady right here, who is the director of the University" Said Alfonso while signaled Susana, who made a small wave with her hand.
"Wow! Another beauty!"
"IT'S THAT PRINCESS SUSANA!? WHY IS SHE HERE!?"
"The education program sounds interesting… maybe I will give it a go"
"Pay a fee if you don't achieve what they want… Hmph! Sounds like a scam"
Different opinions could be heard; however, Alfonso didn't mind, he just listened for some time before signaling to the crow to shut up.
"As for the adults, I will give you a basic education for free, you can assist the night courses for adults if you want, however, don't forget that there are a lot of benefits, monetary speaking, if you have a certain degree of education, there would be an annual exam that will indicate your level, if you have a good result, then, I will provide free university education as well and you will have the benefit of not having to work because we will provide the meal for you and your family, what's more, those who finished their university education program can postulate to administration positions on the ministries, monetary speaking, that's way more than labor works" Explained Alfonso.
Everyone tried to process the information.
"That's it for work and education, as for security, you may already notice however, I will still tell you, Wasteland Valley DON'T TOLERATE CRIME, the wolves and the little girls will patrol constantly Wasteland Valley, if they catch you breaking the laws, the punishment will be severe, if you don't believe me, hehe, just try" Said Alfonso in a playful way.
Everyone gulped saliva.
'What an evil smile' Though Everyone.
"As for major crimes, well, the one in charge of those will be Deferio and the Spartans, come here Deferio" Said Alfonso.
"YES, YOUR HIGHNESS!" Shouted Deferio.
"Deferio, tell them what the major crimes are and what will be the repercussions" Said Alfonso.
"AS YOU ORDER! IN WASTELAND VALLEY, THERE ARE THREE MAJOR CRIMES, THE FIRST ONE, MURDER, IF YOU MURDER SOMEONE, NO MATTER THE REASON, YOU WILL SUFFER DESMEMBRATION, EACH OF YOUR LIMBS WILL BE TIE TO A HORSE AND THEN… WELL, YOU GET THE IDEA" Said Deferio.
 Everyone was scared by imaging such a horrible way of dying.
"SECOND! RAPED! NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE A WOMAN OR A MAN, THE ACT OF FORCING SOMEONE TO HAVE SEX IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN, THE VICTIM WILL MADE AN ACCUSATION AND THAT WILL BE HANDLE BY THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE, IF YOU ARE FOUND GUILTY, YOU WILL BECOME THE SLAVE OF THE VICTIM, ALL YOUR FORTUNATE AND POSSESSIONS WILL BE FOR THE VICTIM AND YOUR PENIS, IN THE CASE OF THE MAN, WILL BE CUT, AS FOR WOMAN, THEIR BREAST WOULD BE CUT AND YOUR HAIR WILL BE BURNED, THE VICTIM IS THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREE YOU, HOWEVER, THERE IS A WARNING HERE, IF YOU FALSELY ACCUSED SOMEONE, THEN, YOU WILL HAVE TO GIVE ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS TO THE VICTIM AND WORK AS A SLAVE FOR THE PERSON IN QUESTION, HOWEVER, YOU WILL ONLY HAVE TO DO THIS FOR THREE YEARS" Said Deferio.
Some men touched their crotch in pain while other girls touched hugged their breast.
"THIRD! AN ATTACK TO HIS HIGHNESS! THIS IS THE WORST CRIME THAT YOU MAKE! IF ANY OF YOU TOUCH A SINGLE HAIR OF HIS HIGHNESS, THEN, I WILL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE DEAD! THAT'S ALL! " Said Deferio.
Alfonso touched his face, this wasn't part of the plan…
"Not even a single hair…"
"Scary~"
"I-I almost touched his shoulder when he was walking, please don't kill me!"
"Deferio…" Said Alfonso.
"I did this for them, your highness, after all, if they touch you, not even all of us, Spartans, will be able to stop the wrath of miss Demeter" Murmured Deferio while looking at Demeter who was smiling innocently.
"…Good job" Murmured Alfonso.
"*Cough* anyway, now you have heard it, I want my people to live as peaceful as possible, that's why, I have strict norms in terms of crimes, speaking of which, what I despise the most are burglars, so, although is not a major crime, I WILL BE THE ONE who dictates the punishment for robbery, believe, you don't want that" Said Alfonso firmly.
All of the people in the crow were surprised by these norms, after all, it was not so often that lords and royalty cares about crimes so much, in fact, some lord had their own groups of burglars.
"ITS THAT'S YOUR JUSTICE?" Someone on the crow shouted out.
"Hmm?" Alfonso looked at the one who shouted when he took a look, one old man with two teenagers, one small black-haired girl and one handsome young man were behind the old man.
However, what surprised Alfonso the most was the name that the system provided when he looked at the old man. Alfonso smiled and say
"That's right, my friend, you have any opinions?" 
The old man climbed the platform and looked at Alfonso straight into the face.
"Let's discuss your justice, young man!" Shouted the man with excitement.

Alfonso was a historian of earth who suddenly appear in the body of Alfonso Lockheart, a fallen prince that is the Lord of a formal city known as the wasteland valley, with infertile land and losing the protection of their god, the wasteland valley is land that is destined to be destroyer by the extreme weather and the attacks of beast.

Alfonso was in a despair situation; however, he wasn’t destined to fall in this land, that is because....

[The supreme sovereign system welcomes its new host, with the help of the Greek gods as your allies, you will become the new sovereign of this land!]

Oh well, here I am after going totally MIA. Um well, reread the first few chapters if you want as I have changed some bits up to about chapter 4 I think and then I have done some small pretty much unnoticeable work on the other chapters. 

Well, now that we are in this world crisis situation with a lot of things in a mess the reason why I'm even writing this message chapter is because while I haven't started today, only been fixing old chapters I am considering starting to write on a new chapter tomorrow. We'll see how I feel tomorrow but I just thought it might be relaxing to just sit down and write for once. Well, I normally go about my free time reading or playing games. I do have an exam scheduled to do distance on the 3rd of April that I do need to study for and my apartment is in a heap of a huge mess so I do need to clean but....

Ah the worries of a university student in troubled times. I do live in the riches Nordic country of Sweden but with this pandemic, there is also an economic crisis with it.

Anyways I want to quickly actually explain some other stuff about my uni life. My University has four reading periods and six exam periods, there is an exam period, or reexam period at the end of August and after that reading period 1 starts at the beginning of September and lasts until the middle-end of October. At the end of October is the first exam period during Halloween. The second reading period starts at the beginning of November and ends in the beginning-middle of January but there is also and reexam period before Xmas. 

In the middle of January is exam period 2 and reading period three starts by the end of January to the middle of March, that period I just had. Now by the end of March is the third exam period and after that by the beginning of April to the middle-end of May is the fourth and last reading period. and of course the last but not least exam period at the end of May and beginning of June.

Each of my reading periods normally has 2 courses each and this is the case for the upcoming reading period. Out of the two courses I got a message from the teacher of one of them that he has built up a plan for us to do distance studies all the way until summer, this is a big responsibility for me. 

My University switched to distance as soon as the Swedish government announced the recommendation on March 17th and my exams did get pushed back by a week.

Why do I tell you guys this? Mainly because I want to.

Anyway, don't put too high hopes put there might be a new chapter coming out soon.

She was reborn into a world where immortal cultivation is a thing after dying on a mission. Awakening her memories at the age of 5 she wandered the continent, sought revenge for her dead family and reached the peak after over 100 years.

After reaching the peak one could choose another world to travel to. Among them, was Earth!

Updates unknown, just started 1st year university.

This story is also posted on Wattpad, royalroadl.com and maybe in the near future sakuraidreader.com

    And another thing is groups made to not do anything or just the most powerful group, in the Wizard and Witches world all leaders in the whole world once a year holds a grand battle in another world or so how it's told, this event was only allowed from Adults to Seniors in Middle School. I was only a few months till I reached senior and it was necessary to go to the event at least three times, I didn't want to go but for the amount of time it was more like you can skip it once or be the humiliation and receive the honor in the future. There is known for a lot of adults and many competitors in the event they have three separate courses Adult, Children and, Free-for-all. The adults earn a lot from doing these battles with their lives and Childrens compete from all schools for the honor. The free-for-all is, of course, those of all ages can join and the reward is both honor and a wish granted within the leader's agreements.
  All that seems great but I was not interested in anything no matter what, everyone knew My team was gonna be picked to go to the event to represent my school. The school picks out at least ten teams in the school and twenty students to join the event and the students have to work hard cause if they are not picked they are forced in the future or dropped out. Lucky for them I haven't joined many single competitions and all were ended in a draw or no score. Gladly my grades were good or else the school would have done something, I wouldn't know what they would do although I wouldn't care now. As a school disciplinary team and leadership, I was offered a chance to help out in the event as one of the special group.
  I did took the chance to go for my family and told my friends they were supportive as long as I told them all the details when I got back. That day was in two months, Everyone on the special team was to get prepared. We were assigned to a specific Senior student, my partner was Kim a senior one of the students who were forced into the competition it seems by his expression and his record of never been in a team and finishes his battles with simple tricks. I knocked on his training room, once I opened it I saw him sleeping by a window with a jacket on his head. I saw him and pick up the jacket, "hi I'm going to be your so-called 'Spotter' until the competition is over" he was listening and still kept his eyes closed it only creaked that his eyes were open and gone back to sleep after my speech. I put the jacket back on his head and went off. Once I came back the guy was still asleep, I put the cold water bottle next to his face he reacted "Hey! WHAT THE HE-" he saw the water bottle and looked at me "Oh it's you again, I thought you left"
"No I just went to wake up" bumps the bottle on his shoulder "You thirsty?" he looked at the bottle then at me and took the bottle "Yeah thanks I guess" he drank the bottle to wake himself up more and got up, "You gonna start training?"
"Yeah" goes to the workout room and starts stretching and doing gym workouts, I went along and did gym workouts myself although there was a big difference with each other strengths. I used light weights and he used heavy but I imagine he doesn't care as long as I'm not in his way. I observed quietly from a distance, he stopped after two hours of workout and sweating he gets a towel nearby and I went up and grabbed my water bottle and a small towel from my pocket and pat myself down lightly as I wasn't sweating much. He went outside the room to the room before and grabbed a book to start reading and later fall asleep it seems, I used my tablet and read books saved on them. He seems to be the classic type, after fifteen minutes I woke him up after refrigerating and filling up his bottle halfway putting on his forehead. Like before he was startled and drank the water and went straight for the magic room with the book, "What are you using the book for"
"To read of course" I couldn't tell what he was up to but he placed the book on his head and meditates, I thought the guy came to the magic room to practice but as I'm watching I seemed to feel a sense of magic in the air. I could guess he's controlling his magic and increasing it. he did this sweating shows and I was right I left him for this for three hours, I walked up to him with a water bottle and he looked at me for a few seconds and took the bottle, "The day is over, what are you gonna do now?" His stomach growl "Eat" I chuckled a little and gave him a piece of bread. A while ago I left to get food, I didn't what he liked so I simply got bread "This will last you to the walk to the cafe." he looked at me and go up "Thanks" he grabbed his stuff and changed himself, not long I went myself to the cafe. I ordered the usual snacks and he bought my food, I took the snacks and sat down wearing earplugs and eating. I was not affected by sitting by myself the boy just so happened to sit diagonal from my seat. I didn't know his idea but the day was over I no needed to be with this guy but I just ignored it as the music that was playing made me relaxed, once I finished eating I got up and left school. I went home without a problem, my parents spoked and congratulated me on being one of the first in the special group at the competition. They decided to go and pick me up and watch the tournament. 

Hi! It's Flixie here, I'm the main character a born pure-breed witch, I have a feeling I'm gonna fall in love soon. Don't miss out on the adventure she has on her upcoming of age, meeting new seems very confusing.

2 weeks passed. Aariv was back in Patliputra. He had defeated the Chera and Pandya kingdom. He once again took away all the administrative rights from the royal families and just let them live with some personal guards. They weren't allowed to hire more than 5,000 men.

He was currently writing books. He knew that soon his kidnapped philosophers will arrive and will want to see what they were offered. He buried himself in work and wrote more than a thousand books. He had created a small paper making factory for this purpose. 

He also felt that the city was too cramped for making all the new workshops and factories. Hence he decided to start planning the city out. Also according to the history, the river would change its path in the future, submerging the whole city.

He needed to make cemented riverbanks to stop that from happening.

After writing books about every field that was withing the understanding of the current humans, he put them in a library. The library was quite big and a major part of it was underground. There were separate cabins for people to site and do their work without getting disturbed.

He also finished writing the constitution. Now he needed to promote it to people. Most of the population was illiterate so he needed to use Kautilya's men and people from local administration around the country to announce it to the public on a regular basis.

He hired stonemasons to make big stone edicts in hexagonal shape with their faces having the constitution carved on it. On the top of it was the Mauryan emblem, 4 lions sitting with their backs touching each other and their faces looking in 4 directions. The edicts were 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide. 

He put them in each town center or any other public gathering in the empire. The constitution laid down the framework demarcating fundamental political code, structure, procedures, powers, and duties of government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles, and the duties of citizens. It also stated the fundamental responsibilities of the elected government.

It promoted JUSTICE, LIBERTY, EQUALITY above all. He also wrote the book of law, It was a comprehensive book intended to cover all substantive aspects of criminal law.

He was going to bring democracy in some years but still he didn't abolish his own powers. He wrote a special case in which if the state fails to fulfill the fundamental duties and has become corrupt then Aariv Maurya has the right to dissolve the government and take things into his own hands and no one can remove this clause from the constitution by any means. He knew that in some years when he disappears from the public eye and starts acting from behind the scenes, the people will forget about this clause. 

He limited the special right to himself as he didn't trust all his descendants to be good people. There was bound to be a rotten apple every once in a while.

This was going smoothly but as more people found out about the constitution, trouble started to come.

Aariv had not mentioned castes or gender in the constitution, he had just used words like 'mankind or humanity'. The people from lower caste were very happy with this. This meant that they would not be treated differently but there existed some people from Brahmin and Kshatriya caste who disagreed with it as it decreased their status and authority.

Hee was sitting with Kautilya, Chandragupta, and Black in the private meeting room.

"What should we do about the possible riots?" Kautilya asked with a tense face.

"I am sure that there are some people who are trying to influence others and start riots. Just arrest them and trial them according to the book of law. We will increase the surveillance and guard patrol. It will probably take some years to let them accept all this." Aariv said.

There was no social media so it was not easy to organize a riot or a protest. He was not going to introduce internet and communication devices to the public till things aren't back to normal.

He left the meeting and looked for Surupa. He was going to give him books to let him study architecture and he was also going to hand him the job of extending the city. The first thing which was going to be made was the huge palace, the palace would not be just the residence of the emperor but also have administrative block, courts and stuff. It was going to an administrative hub.

He found Surupa in the library.

"Your highness, this is unbelievable... all this knowledge and to think that a single person wrote all this," Surupa said. He was overwhelmed by the knowledge Aariv had.

Aariv smiled and sat down on a chair. 

"This is just a small branch of a big tree. I know many more things, but current people cannot digest all that... that aside, I've come here to assign you a job," he said.

Surupa straightened his back and asked about the job.

"I want you to design a big palace, with courts, halls, and many offices. It will not just be the place where I will live but also the place from where the administration will work. The residential part should not be accessible to the other areas...." Aariv said, he also told him about his other requirements like he wanted a very big basement.

Aariv then got up and took some books with him and gave them to Surupa. These books consisted of knowledge about constructing big structures. He then introduced him to bricks, cement, concrete and how to make a strong foundation for a building.

he knew that he would need to do many new things to make the construction easy as he understood that the whole empire will heavily invest in building infrastructure in the future.

He also established the world university and started the first class. Anyone could enter the courses free of cost and they must complete the studies. The courses currently offered were very few and were mostly professional courses that would prepare people for new upcoming changes and jobs.

Aariv was going to introduce heavy machinery such as Excavators, Backhoe., Dragline Excavator, Bulldozers, Graders, Wheel Tractor Scraper, Trenchers, Loaders. But he was troubled because he didn't want them to run on fossil fuel. He needed to start working on his fusion reactor.

...

2 months passed and Aariv worked in his room, he made the frame of the fist-sized fusion reactor. Now he just needed to go out and try to get it struck by lightning to jump start it. Once it starts, then it would be self-sustainable. He had also selected 10 men with exceptional intelligence, they were all introduced by Kautilya. He taught them about the basics of electricity and how to lay lines and connect the whole city. 

He then ordered them to lay wires underground around the city. Juno was also continuously working on making things with the help of her matter manipulation. Now that everything was ready he just needed to go out and find a thunderstorm.

While he was working on a fusion reactor, things in the empire were drastically changing. Many arrests were made and people were punished. Most of the people understood that there was no going back now. They had no other choice but to accept the constitution, however, the discrimination was still rampant. Seeing that Aariv created the department of police. He reduced his army and changed them to the police.

He believed that the army should not aim for quantity but quality. Hence the new department was made, many new people were appointed, rule books were issued and finally the police started to do their jobs. The citizens were told that they could go and report any crime to a policeman and the police were obliged to help them.

All this required a lot of money but money was the least of his worries. 

The world college was also working efficiently but the college lacked infrastructure. He called Surupa to start designing universities, prisons, police stations, and hospitals. Aariv's main goal was to improve the living standard so that people could focus on other things than just surviving.

Surupa came to Aariv's office to show him the designs for the palace/office.

"Your highness, this is what I designed," he said and laid down the designs.

Aariv meaningfully looked at it and was quite pleased with it.  He knew that it was not possible to make a skyscraper yet as he lacked skilled labor so he had to make amends with what he got.

"Very good. I like it, you can start organizing workers," he said. 

[Pictures of how the palace will look are in discord]

Aariv had already set up sites for making bricks, cement, and other necessary things for construction. 

He then headed out to start up his fusion reactor, after all, he still needed to make heavy machinery. 

He headed east, where the thunderstorms were ongoing. He ran as fast as possible. He could feel that the more he used his powers the stronger he would get but the rate of increase was very slow.

After running for a day he reached the place. The sky was covered with dark clouds and it was raining heavily. The deafening sound of thunder could be heard multiple times every second. He knew that his fusion reactor was very conductive in nature but still he needed to do something to make sure that lightning struck it.

He started throwing it in the air again and again, in the hope that it would attract lightning. He kept on doing that for a day and when Strom started to move away, he followed it.

After 3 days Aariv was starting to grow impatient, he screamed in irritation and jumped in the air with the reactor in his hand. Just then an eye-piercing light came close to Aariv, His last thought was.

"F*CK ME"

Then everything blacked out. The lightning struck Aariv. Although he had the strength of 100 men, he was still nothing compared to the mighty lightning. He wasn't seriously injured but the top layer of his skin had burnt down.

He fell down on the ground and groaned in pain. His body was constantly healing itself, draining his energy. After 3 hours, the pain finally stopped, leaving Aariv energyless. He knew what happened to him and started to channel natural energy from outside to his body, trying to recuperate the lost energy.

After half an hour he stood up, full of energy. He looked at his body. He felt significantly stronger than before. He had a feeling that he was near a breakthrough. 

Aariv cleaned the remaining bits of his clothes and searched for the fusion reactor. He looked around and finally noticed a blue light on the ground.

"HAHAHAHA... YES...YES"

What if "THE GREAT FILTER THEORY" was real and the filter was not something supernatural but a WAR.
.
A war that spans the whole universe.
Only the strong and advanced can survive.
.
(The Great Filter theory says that at some point from pre-life to Type III intelligence(galactic civilization), there’s a wall that all attempts at life hit. There’s some filter in that long evolutionary process that is extremely unlikely or impossible for life to get beyond. That stage is The Great Filter)
.
In the year 3500A.D humans had colonized all the moons and planets that could harbor life in the solar system. But then the Earth was attacked by an extremely advanced civilization and all human life in the solar system was destroyed.
.
Aariv Hector, the last human to die, was reincarnated in 320BC as son to an Indian Emperor, Chandragupta Maurya. With his old memories and newfound powers, he is to shoulder the great responsibility of saving humanity. 
.
But what would happen if the ancient gods and mythical monsters were real too and how will Aariv deal with them?
.
He has 3800 years remaining before the Doomsday.

When Victor finally reached King's Campus, the sun was already up and the school was already bustling. Victor walked through the entrance beneath a banner that read 'King's Campus Open House. All Are Welcome!'. Victor finally got a lucky break. Today was the open house of the local school, and the Finder informed him one of his grandchildren studied here.   
Like lower campus everywhere, King's Campus took in children in the primary and secondary school age group. Not only do they teach all the relevant courses of education, the school also train the children in their talents. These are magic, science, martial arts, and of course superpowers. 
Victor have mixed feelings about being here. Being in a school again brought back memories, and not all of them were good. All round him, kids were running around, and in many ways, this was where it started for him. The cruel reality of the superhero world was that powers equaled status. Having a superpower, no matter how weak, was a dream everyone possessed. However less than five percent of the world's population were born with a power. They were the lucky few. They were the 'Heroes'.
For the remaining ninety-five percentage of the world's population, they were the mucks of the world. Forever second-class citizens of a world where only some selected men could fly into space and shoot lasers out of their eyes. For some of these people, it was unacceptable. They also wanted to step into the world of the powers, and they did what they could to enter the world. They trained their bodies and minds in anything that could give them an edge over ordinary men and women. This had been the way for centuries and a few succeeded. They were so exceptional in martial arts, magic, or technology that the people and governments had no choice but to give them the title of 'Heroes'. 
Most failed, and Victor was one of these failures. In his youth, he wanted to be a hero. Born without a superpower, he did what everyone else did. He trained. He wasn't very smart; he had no talent for magic; but he was big, strong, and tough. In school, he enrolled into one of the numerous martial arts clubs and devoted his life to the fighting arts. It was not enough. 
There was always someone better. Someone stronger, faster, or more technically sound than him. Every year he applied himself but when he graduated from lower campus, none of the hero academies invited him to enroll as a student. The writing was on the wall. Victor was never going to be a hero. Even though there was no route to his dream, years of practice had given Victor skills. With these skills, he became a villain. 
Victor walked through the main administration building and saw the inside of the campus. The campus was spilt in two with the primary and secondary schools on different sides of the campus. According to the report the Finder got him, his grandchild was only eight years old, so Victor headed towards the primary school building. It was a big light-blue five storey building with its own basketball court, and football field. The primary school also had its own carpark. A carpark that had been converted into a staging area for the open house. 
As he approached, Victor could see that the children had already prepared for the open house. Stands had been built, and the children were manning them. More than a few adults were around acting as chaperones and Victor didn't stand out that much. Tattoos didn't mean much in a world where a man with light blue skin was considered the greatest hero alive. It didn't take long for Victor to notice how the stands were divided.  
Schools operated open houses in a bid to bond with the local communities and as such, the schools always try to showcase their best upfront. The best meant those students with superpowers. 
Stalls operated by clubs with super-powered members took prominence with them being front and center. Stalls operated by students with science and magical gifts were at the sides and the martial arts stalls were at the far end. Victor took care to look at all the students while walking around. With so many children around, he could miss his grandchild and that's the last thing he wanted. It turned out to be a needless worry. One of the kids Victor saw was surrounded by a glowing red outline, and a message visible only to Victor appeared. 

Task Complete. Please return to the formation for the reward. 
Name: Zachary Woo Liu Yang
Relation: Grandson
Occupation: Student 
Power: Magic (Low)
Attribute: None
Recommendation: Zachary's ability in the magical arts is low and he has no talent in cultivation or science. However, he currently has a strong interest in the study of runecraft. It is the System's advice that the best route for this descendant is to study the magical art of 'Enchantment'. 

Zachary Woo! That was his name. The task was complete, and Victor knew he should just turn back. He has a death sentence hanging over him and he should just leave and clear the task. He also needed to ask Reunion about this recommendation that popped up. She didn't say anything about that. He could always come back and see the kid later…if ever! The kid most probably didn't know Victor was his grandfather. Heck, his mother might not know who he was! It wasn't not out of the question. Victor should just leave. He knew all that and began walking towards his grandchild anyway.

Sweet Fist was a joke. He has no superpowers. He was merely a guy with some martial arts who dress up in a costume with a candy theme. He said stupid things like 'Sweet Dreams' and 'Choco Punch' when fighting and was an embrassment to the supervillain community. He has just been released after spending twenty years in prison. 
Now he got a System, and the System informed the villain that he had many kids and even some grandchildren. The System want the villain to reunite with his family. Failure means death. Only one problem; Sweet Fist never knew he had kids. How was a bad guy supposed to reunite with a family he never knew existed?

Angele left the room together with Alu, walking down the tunnel once again. He began seeing people wearing gray robes walking to and fro, most of them greeting Alu. Some smiled and spoke with him while some just nodded their heads without speaking a word. After walking for about 100 meters, he faced a large, black wooden door in front of him.
 
PONG!
 
Alu knocked hard three times; the door opened a gap that would let one man pass through. Angele peeked through the gap and saw a huge underground cave inside.
 
“Let’s go get your supplies first,” Alu spoke with a low voice as he turned his head to Angele. Angele nodded, following Alu through the door.
 
Angele felt much better after walking into the door. He saw a huge cave that would easily fit an aircraft carrier inside. There were many holes, passages through the wall that twisted around the cave. Angele could see people wearing gray and white robes there with some entering the holes. It was highly likely that those holes were entrances leading to other areas. A huge 3-level glass chandelier hung over in the middle of the cave; many oil lamps sat on each level. It was the only thing that illuminated the cave.
 
“This way.” Alu led Angele, who continued to follow from behind, toward the left.
 
The ground wasn’t decorated at all and the roads were made of stone. Everything had become light yellow-colored under the large chandelier. The two’s shadows shook and dance on the bumpy walls, seemingly mysterious and strange. They entered another path once again and then walked into a hallway. There were several people waiting; all of them had people without robes by their sides.
 
Alu talked to one of the men before taking Angele to wait at the end of the line. It took them several minutes to enter the door at the end of the hallway. Various types of linen bags and wooden barrels were inside the room. An old man who had a goatee was sitting behind a desk by the door, holding a feathered pen in his hand. On the desk were a small notebook, a candle stand, and an ink bottle.
 
“Alu, another one?” the old asked after laughing.
 
“Yea, he just arrived here today. He came here by ship, so it took him a long time to get here,” Alu said with a smiling face.
 
“Tell him your name, stage level, and talent level,” Alu said to Angele after turning to him.
 
“Angele Rio, 15 years old, stage 1, talent level 2.” Angele stepped forward after nodding.
 
“Talent level 2, better than nothing.” The old man nodded, and he wrote down something on his notebook.
 
“You got a trophy?” the old man asked.
 
“Yes,” Angele said before handing over his ring to the old man.
 
The old man scrutinized the ring, his expression changing several times. In the end, he had a piteous expression as though he was feeling sorry for the item.
 
“Such a pity. Agility Boost Ring with a high-level spell. If it’s complete, it will be considered as a mid-level enchanted item at least. It’s from the past, at least 500 years old. We were still referred to as a college back then,” the old man said.
 
“Well, I’ll take the trophy. You’ll be exempted in your entrance exam,” he continued speaking as he grabbed a small gray pouch from the ground.
 
“It’s your basic pouch.” The old man handed the gray pouch to Angele.
 
“Thank you.” Angele carefully received the pouch.
 
“One gray apprentice robe, one stage 1 wizard apprentice badge, one emergency magic stone, and your wizard apprentice number card. Don’t lose any of those. There’s a clean spell enchanted on the robe. It will clean itself once a day. It costs ten thousand gold coins outside, so don’t break it. Otherwise, you’ll have to reimburse it using magic stones or record points,” the old man said.
 
“Understood,” Angele replied. Alu toured Angele to the dormitory area, classrooms, laboratories, gardens, and various places after obtaining the supply. He led Angele back to the first hallway after everything. Angele thought of how the whole school was akin to a secret base underground. It was huge and its depth was unknown to Angele.
 
“First course is free. Make sure you make it count. Take care, my job here is done.” Alu shrugged his shoulders and left after. He disappeared at a corner by the end of the hallway.
 
Angele took a deep breath before he walked to his new master’s room and lightly knocked on the door.
 
“I’m the new apprentice, Angele Rio. Master Liliana, may I come in?” Angele asked politely.
 
“Come in, please.” Liliana’s voice still sounded like a young girl. The door opened by itself right away. Angele walked in and the door closed by itself. His new master was writing something on a paper using her black-feathered pen.
 
“Here for the free course?” Liliana raised her head and asked. Angele saw her horrifying face once again, the bronze pocket watch embedded in her left eye still ticking.
 
“Yes.” Angele attempted to use the chip to analyze her attributes, but some unknown power hindered the chip from doing so.
 
Liliana smiled. However, she looked like she was crying to Angele. She moved the items on the table, making an empty space. She then put several things on the desk, but Angele didn’t know where they came from. From left to right, the items on the desk were: a red banana-like fruit, a fresh eyeball of some animal, and a black leather pouch.
 
“The one on the left represents the basic shifting skill I’m good at. The eyeball in the middle represents the fundamentals of advanced dissection skills, while the last one represents biology. These are the options I offer, you can choose one to learn for free. You have one minute to think about it,” Liliana smiled as she said.
 
Angele nodded. He started thinking while looking at the three items. Liliana didn’t feel restless, only sitting there as she waited.
 
“One minute,” Liliana said. Angele hesitated for a second. With a serious look on his face, he placed his hand on the black pouch.
 
“I’ll go with this one,” Angele said while looking at his master. Suddenly, the pouch started shaking as a swarm of black insects came out of it. Angele became surprised, immediately drawing back his hands. The insects were black, looking like medium-sized roaches. The pouch was, but the number of insects came out of it was great. In just a short time, they were all over the desk.
 
Angele’s hand that made contact with the bag felt itchy. Liliana was still smiling toward Angele, whose face was pale. She took out a small mirror and placed it in front of him. From the mirror’s reflection, Angele saw blisters all over his body; his arms, neck, and face all full of blisters. The blisters were large, shiny, and full of red pus.
 
“That’s your choice.” His new master’s smile looked mysterious. Angele touched his face with his hands, but he could only feel nothing, only the flatness, and smoothness of his face.
 
Angele’s face was pale; his mouth and nose stank. He saw a black human-like shadow in Liliana’s right eye before he plunged into darkness. When he recovered his vision, he found himself in deep water. Though there was a white light over his head, he could see nothing around. It was dark and cold, even making Angele feel suffocated that he could barely breathe.
 
Angele tried to reach the light above him, yet something was pulling down his feet as he sunk. He looked down only to see pure darkness. He felt like he would never come back if he kept sinking.
 
‘It’s an illusion…’ Angele kept convincing himself, but he couldn’t stop the growing fear inside of him.
 
“You should come back.” Liliana’s voice echoed in his ears.
 
“The knowledge has been transferred into your brain. Go back and drink a potion that will help you stabilize your mind. This transfer spell has been harmful to you. Make sure you don’t get any sequela,” Liliana said.
 
“You can go now,” she said as she waved her hand.
 
Angele, who was soaked in sweat, tried to calm down. He bowed and opened the door.
 
Angele left right away. Recalling the transference, the first line of the knowledge in his brain said: Necromancy.
 
******************
 
The following days, Angele attended the free courses just like any other new wizard apprentices and went to the library after classes. He went to the sections open to stage 1 wizard apprentices. He focused on several different subjects such as Dissection, Neuroscience, Fundamentals of Negative Energy, Spell Models, Source of Mentality, and Fundamentals of Pharmacy, basic subjects, and many different languages. Angele could learn all of those for free.
 
Angele finally understood the meaning of the word ‘Ramsoda’. In dragonish, it meant shadow and death. The most well-renowned researches the college had ever done were about necromancy and curses. The school had been considered to have the best shadow spells in the Wizard world.
 
The free course he chose was Necromancy wherein the main focus lied in studying the negative energy’s impact on living beings. It was the core of utilizing spells created from negative energy, which was something he must learn. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to build the model for the negative energy spells. This course was one of the most expensive courses in the school considering how dangerous researching negative energy was. Because of how high the expenditure would be for someone to take this course, Angele was thinking of trading Necromancy knowledge with other wizard apprentices.
 
Angele learned the fundamentals of spell utilization from the basic spell model book. One had to use mentality to build the spell model and release the energy using a special method. Some spells even required certain materials as catalysts.

P.S. This has become a serious problem so I have to put it in the synopsis: First, I would like to thank everyone who spends their time reading this book. Second, I just want to say that this is not a WMW (Warlock of the Magus World) copy. TWW finished two years before WMW started.
