Just a bunch of writing assignments from school that I thought I should post on my Wattpad.

When everything was ready Ting started his hack. Ting's fingers furiously typing away lines of code. When Ting located the registration system he noticed that the firewall for it was weaker than the other parts of the website.

After about five minutes of breaking through the firewall, he found that to make an account all he needed to do was to enter a username. After he created his account, he was instantly redirected to a welcome page. Now to log in the website provided a link for him to enter his account instead of hacking through the firewall and creating an account.

["Mission: 'Create an account on HackersHaven' has been completed."]

["You have been awarded 1000 System Credits and 15 EXP for completing the mission"]

"Good, good, I got more System Credits I could use for improving on my hacking abilities when I want to enroll into courses." He thought as he stared at his screen.

He was greeted by an introduction to the use of the website and the rules. The website informed the user that they can accept assignments and that they will be graded by how well they did and how fast they completed the assignment; the hackers are graded by the person who created the assignment.

The hackers would need to give their bank info to the site and through the website they would be paid. When the people create assignments they pay first to the HackersHaven website then after the assignment is completed the money gets transferred to the hacker and the website will take a slight commission. 

And of course theses contractors identities will be confidential; the website will not divulge their identities.

On the welcoming page after having read the rules. Ting noticed there was a hackers ranking system on the website. The website showed the top 1000 hackers currently on their site. Of course, some can choose to hide their alias.

The other pages on the website showed its rules, policy, account settings, and lastly assignments. Ting noticed that there was another page but he couldn't click on it it just wrote 'Coming Soon'.

Ting didn't know what was coming soon but that is something for the future him to worry about. Ting remembered that Swiss Bank accounts are relatively safe. So he went online and created an account. Soon after he had gotten himself an account he went his account settings and found the banking number. 

He quickly entered his new banking information and afterward opened his system menu and went to see if there were any missions he could accept relating to accepting assignments and he quickly found a mission directly interconnecting with accepting assignments.

Mission: ["Complete Five Assignments On HackersHaven"]

[Description]
Successfully complete 5 assignments 
[Hint: Do your best!]

[Rewards]
5000 System Credits
55 EXP

[-Accept-]
***

Ting instantly knew this mission was the one he needed. Therefore he didn't hesitate and accepted the mission. This way he would be killing 2 birds with one stone.

["You have accepted the mission 'Complete Five Assignments On HackersHaven'"]

After Ting accepted the mission, he went to look at the assignments. The page had all kinds of assignments ranging from hacking a social media account and saving their chat messages to hacking into a computer game and messing their servers and stuff.

Ting listed the assignments in terms of reward money. He found that the one at the top rewarded 500, 000 USD. But it was too hard for the current him. The assignment was to hack into a new virtual reality game MMORPG: Quasar Online. The game was introduced a couple of years ago by a game company, it was an MMORPG game and their servers are really protected. They have multiple teams ready to stop any hacker that is detected at a moments notice.

However, since he hasn't hacked yet, besides in the course he took. He chose one of the assignments for saving someone's social media messages.

On the website, when he accepted the assignment it gave him more details.

***
Assignment - Retrieve a copy of Huang Fei's chat messages
Status - Ongoing
Category - Affair
Reward: 250USD
***

After Ting read the assignment info he quickly got to work. Because the faster he retrieved the chat messages then the happier the client, hence the better the rating they give him. 

He went to the website that the target uses and started hacking away. Furiously typing lines of code, there was some resistance from the firewall and Ting tried to find a back-end door. However, he couldn't find any that quickly due to his lack of experience. After a few minutes, he finally found one and silently entered.

Thunking that Ting had stopped, gave Ting a breather and some peace of mind. The social media's cyber team quickly found some other people trying to infiltrate them so they went over there instead.

When Ting entered through the back door, he quickly searched Huang Fei inside the database for his email and his password. He also left a hidden backdoor for himself after he left. He learned how to do so from the course. It was pretty useful if he needed to hack them again.

After Ting left he quickly entered the email and password, luckily the user didn't have two-factor authentication otherwise he had to hack and infiltrate his targets phone.

After he logged in he copied all his messages. What he found was quite disturbing. He read some of the conversations he had and it turned out that he was going out with multiple women. From his conversations, Ting made a guess that each woman thought that Huang Fei was loyal to them. 

But he couldn't care less for this piece of garbage. And so after he logged out he went to the HackersHaven site and used his link that the website provided and accessed his account. He then went to his accepted ongoing assignments and quickly summited everything he copied.

-

Earlier in the morning, Fei Yuan had suspected that his boyfriend was cheating on her. She found that more and more that her boyfriend was going out early and coming back home late. 

Fei Yuan was living with her boyfriend starting last year, at first she was quite happy when she slept with him. However, she didn't give him her first, because she wanted to give it to him when they get married.

But a few months after they started living together she noticed some changes and that he left early and came home late. At first, she didn't think much about until it got frequent. She heard of hackers accepting money in change for their help. The website she had heard was HackersHaven. 

When she first arrived at the website she was quite nervous that it was or of those scam sights so she created a temporary bank account and loaded 1732.67 yuan (250USD) since the website calculates the reward in USD. After giving her banking information she quickly wrote her boyfriends social media account information and posted the assignment.

After she posting the assignment it was early in the morning hence she quickly got ready and ate her breakfast before heading to her job. She wasn't young anymore and joined the ranks of society. She had a full-time job like any other individual. When she had a lunch break she went to find out if anyone had accepted her assignment. She realized that it had accepted and was dumbfounded when she read that it was already completed.

Afterward, she saw received all her boyfriends chat messages from the email she provided in the contact information and was dumbstruck. She instantly screamed startling many of her colleagues.

"Fei Yuan, what's wrong?" One of Fei Yuan's colleagues asked.

"What's wrong is I chose a piece of *%^# as a boyfriend!" Fei Yuan roared. "I'll be taking the afternoon off.

She quickly stormed out of the building after she requested for a 1-day leave. She quickly went home and waited for her boyfriend, Huang Fei to get home. She wasn't even in the mood to eat dinner until she kicked him out of the house and severe their relationship for good.

-

At 10:00 PM Huang Fei arrived back home. His attire was a bit messy along with his hair. Who knows what he had been up to today. But Fei Yuan could guess as she blushed and instantly became furious.

"You piece of dog #%^*, you dare to have multiple women? You are the trash of society. Now pack up your things and get the hell out of here!" Fei Yuan quickly came up to Huang Fei and gave him a couple of slaps to his face.

"What are you talking about babe?" Huang Fei tried to calm her down and tried to rebut her. "I haven't done a thing to anyone yet."

"YET? You already had!" As she read out his conversation out loud with a woman word by word.

***
Huang Fei: "Hey babe, you can't wait can't you? [5:34AM]

Other woman: "Heh, is that what you're thinking about all the time? [5:35AM]

Huang: "Haha, I can't help it you're just too beautiful." [5:35]

Woman: "Let's meet at the usual place. Then I'll see what your punishment will be" [5:37]

Huang: "Alright see you there <kissing emoji.>" [5:39]

Woman: "<kissing emoji>". [5:39]

[END OF CONVERSATION]

***

"HOW DID YOU GET THAT!?" Huang Fei shouted he was surprised, how did she get his chat messages.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Take your stuff and leave! Fei Yua shouted back.

As Huang Fei left with his things. Fei Yua felt like she forgot something. "Oh well, I am starving right now. I'll try to recall it later."

-

Meanwhile, Ting was quite tired and went to take a nap but found himself waking the next day. He quickly checked how his client ranked his performance. But found out that they hadn't even ranked him at all.

He thought maybe they would rank him later so he quickly scrolled through the assignments for one he feels that was worth it.

He was standing in an empty space. A beautiful and pleasing voice sounded in his mind. As he turned to he saw a wavy shadow of a beautiful woman looking at him.

"System check-up..."

"Retina scanned, ear lobe scanned, brainwaves analysed, identified as a new user. Account created for the new somnium technology."

"The identity and bank account information have been bound to your account. You need to have a thought password set to the account to modify any of your personal details. You can do it right now or later at any registration office of the alliance."

"Do you intend to set it now?"

"No", sounded his own voice as he thought about it.

"No issues detected in brainwave activity until now. Running a small test to confirm that there are no issues with brainwave activity."

He felt drowsy and the world around him went in and out of focus. Then, everything went back as it was.

"Test completed. No issues found. You are free to browse the alliance virtual reality network. All kinds of purchases are allowed through the helmet."

He was immediately transferred to a large circular hall. It was quite spacious with a large number of counters. He walked to one of the stalls.

"Hi, this is the somnium technology's introduction hall. Temporarily the game vita-nova can't be accessed. Other V.R. games don't support the features of the somnium technology. All other facilities available. This hall is similar to the alliance virtual reality hub. Any queries or specific location you want to be transported to?" asked a pretty female attendant at the counter.

"I would like to explore the Blyth medical technologies," answered Robert.

The V.R. technologies of the alliance had advanced to a state where every organisation which had a website also had a V.R. site where they could explore the options provided by the organisation and even explore many locations virtually.

A display immediately appeared in front of him with the search results for Blyth medical technologies. As soon as he selected the official V.R site, he was transported to it.

It was different than the traditional V.R. experience of a console where it was really hard to find a good angle of view they wanted or a V.R. suit where one had finer control and feel the world. But this had a much more natural feel to it.

"This is just like I am actually standing in such a place. This is what virtual reality is actually supposed to be," he thought.

As he was exploring V.R. site, he was suddenly informed that he was being logged out of his account externally and then, he got up as his helmet was removed by the attendant.

"So, how was it?" asked the attendant.

"It was very immersive. I thought the V.R. suit wouldn't be much different from this, but this is definitely more natural to feel. I would definitely recommend this to others," said Robert to the attendant. He was really impressed by the technology.

"I am glad to see that you enjoyed the experience. The new somnium technology is not only employed in the V.R. helmets but also in the V.R. cabins going to be released on the 1st of February. The cabins have better sync with the game and as all cabins have, allow you to consume nutrient fluids through them providing you a longer gaming experience," said the attendant.

"I am not really into gaming, but thanks for the offer," said Robert understanding that the attendant was trying to make a sale.

"Oh! Are you interested in the gaming helmet? We are having a special offer today. We provide you warranty for an additional two years on the usual three years. Also, the ones bought here can connect to the internet and access all V.R. sites from today," said the attendant.

Balthazar knew that the somnium technology would become extremely popular. Most online software services, educational and training services, interactive videos would become somnium V.R. technology in the future. Even some freelance operations and software development would use the somnium technology for daily work. He decided to best get a cabin as soon as possible.

"Any offers on the V.R. cabin?" asked Balthazar who was right beside Robert.

"The V.R cabins could be pre-ordered with the same offer. They will be delivered to the address you specified by Metis technologies. It is considered to be excellent for gaming and it also monitors your vitals during use."

"I would like to buy a cabin. Could you please quote the price," said Balthazar to the attendant?

"The original price is 5 million. We are having a discount of 10 percent for the pre-order. So, you can have it 4.5 million credits," replied the attendant.

He quickly conducted the transaction, providing his home address to deliver the cabin. Robert was extremely surprised that Balthazar had bought a V.R. cabin. He knew that Balthazar had dabbled in V.R. games during college but didn't expect it to be to an extent that he would purchase a V.R cabin.

"You bought a cabin? You plan to be an active player in the game, when you are serving in the military?"

"It got three months of recommended leave and I am not planning to be joining till May. When I leave, I can just leave it to the workshop for Rudra and the others to use," explained Balthazar.

"You know what? Seeing you even I am tempted to get one. I am going to buy a helmet myself."

Robert got a headset and they left together with it. They carried on to the combat coliseum like they planned. The combat coliseum didn't always have aliens fighting one another. Its original owner were pet trainers and they were the ones who organized the fights. More than half the time, it was them having their pets perform tricks and feats.

Both Robert and Balthazar weren't that interested in these as much as they were in the fights. On finding out that there would be no more fights for the next two hours, they went to the shuttle. Soon, they were back at the Blyth mansion.

"Entora city wasn't as fun as I expected it to be," confessed Balthazar.

"Maybe we had very high expectations of it since childhood and now that were have grown up, we were kind of set for disappointment."

"So, what now?"

"We have about 2 hours till 5 p.m. meeting with Salazar. We can try out his assignments before the evening runs."

"As good a thing as any. We need to do it sometime."

They headed off to the herbariums and soon found themselves searching uprooting plants and separating the bark, stems, roots and other parts and packed them up. They needed to move them quickly to Salazar's lab and work on removing poison out of them and also refine them.

They managed to quickly put them up in their backpacks and reach Salazar's lab in 15 minutes. Processing these materials to extract the poison could be done with automatons, but Salazar had specifically asked them to do the entire extraction manually so that they would have decent amount of practice and could be able to do it even in isolated and unfriendly environments.

They spent more than an hour repeatedly doing the same. They extracted enough to clear off their assignments for the next couple of days. After they were done, they quickly went back to the mansion and went to the racetrack. They finished their daily exercise and decided to call it a day.

As Balthazar reached his room, he got a message from Salazar informing that he would be having direct combat classes for half an hour daily from tomorrow onward.

"Well that would actually be something useful and might quicken up the pace of the training," thought Balthazar. "It had been awfully boring and monotonous the past few days."

He contacted Robert and came to know that Robert go the same message from Salazar. The sun has set, and he was decided to go check up on the cyber cafe. He soon reached the cyber cafe and was greeted by Slaine at the complex.

"The network technician from the nearby internet service provider had just finished updating the optics and ports of the place to match the internet requirements for the somnium V.R. headsets," informed Slaine.

"We could have had the 3rd and 4th floor also done with, if not for the hassle that man caused," said Lizzie coming from behind Slaine.

"Yeah. But Rudra came, informed the crowd that you owned the place and go talk to you. He managed to quell the crowd," said Slaine.

"Who came here? What did he want?" asked Balthazar.

"It was as you warned me. There were a Jack and Oliver Blyth, who lead the crowd claiming we were using their employees. If I hadn't come over to inform that you have paid the severance and informed them that the civil force would prosecute them, if they didn't stop the ruckus, it could have gone worse. The internet technician was quite flustered when he saw that a Blyth was against us. But we managed to convince him that as a Blyth owns the cyber cafe, it wouldn't be much of an issue," said Rudra coming out of the manager compartment.

"Even Oliver came here? I only expected that Jack would try and make some unnecessary trouble. Don't worry I will handle it," said Balthazar assuaging their worries.

"Not an issue at all. We already expected a bit of trouble from your family when we decided to get out of the cyber cafe. Moreover, it is all good publicity for our cyber cafe," added Rudra.

He spent a few more minutes at the Dreamz Cyber Space and played a few V.R. games. Then, he spent some time with Rudra, Lizzie and Slaine discussing the possible floor plans of the 3rd and 4th floors.

When Rudra and his team were a part of cyber drome, the cyber drome provided most of the equipment from their guild or bought the equipment. But now they had to get them all on their own. This required them to have a proper workshop and gaming studio which they decided to have in the 3rd and 4th floors.

He also told Rudra that he bought a V.R. cabin that is going to be delivered at his home and he plans to check it out. When he returned back to the mansion, he had Jack and Oliver waiting for him on a couch at the main hall.

Jack was staring at him fuming with anger. "Same old Jack!" thought Balthazar.

"Hi Jack," he greeted with a smile.

"You shameless coward. Finally, you come back to the mansion. Where have you been all day long?" said Jack in a loud voice. He successfully managed to gather the attention of the people in the hall. But most of them knew him and just carried on with their work after they saw who it was.

"I am a busy man, Jack. Where I have been is none of your business," replied Balthazar calmly. Balthazar knew Jack from childhood and knew that as long as he replied calmly it would infuriate him and he would loose his calm and it definitely seemed to be working even after 5 years.

"How dare you?" started Jack spewing spittle out of his mouth. "I have been waiting at your complex for a lot of time with Elder Oliver. And all you don't even tell us where you were gallivanting."

"Gallivanting? That's what you do with your fellow boozehounds. Don't confuse yourself with the rest of us," replied Balthazar. "You idiot. You are the last person that gets to criticize others of gallivanting," he thought.

"Do you think the same of me?" said Oliver joining the argument. Oliver was one of the members of the Elder council. Balthazar hardly knew much about him. But he never expected an elder to join Jack's pretentious rants.

"Frankly speaking Elder Oliver, I don't know much about you to make any kind of assertion. But I have to confess that I am a little disappointed. If you wanted to actually contact me, you could have simply sent me a message instead manually searching for me like a cave man from ancient ages. Nevertheless, could you tell me why you wanted to meet?"

Oliver's face hardly changed when Balthazar retorted. "He is definitely more composed than Jack. Well, he is an elder that is minimum requirement," thought Balthazar.

"I had Jack try and contact you. But it looks like you had blocked his id on your device," said Oliver.

"Of course, I make it a point to block booze addled ranting gallivants. You could have surely contacted me directly," replied Balthazar.

"Well, Jack is the co-owner of the cyber drome. So, I wanted him to handle the issue. I am just here for support," said Oliver. He hadn't expected Balthazar to be so calm and undaunted in the presence of an elder. Now, he realized that Jack would probably not be able to force Balthazar to do anything.

"Ok Jack. What issue did you have with the cyber drome? What did you want me for?" asked Balthazar looking at Jack.

"You poached my men. You are openly recruiting from my cyber cafe. And you think that it is fine to do so?"

"One I offered my friend Rudra a job as he was dissatisfied with his current position and salary. I openly offered jobs for my new business. If the applicants were satisfactory, I allowed them to move and work for me. Just like in any other business. If you wan't them back, offer them something better."

"So, you agree that you knowingly caused my employees to work for you, causing me to be unable to run my cyber cafe. It is against the family code to directly fight against one another's business. I will have to challenge you for the right to.."

"Oh! Shut up. Please" said Balthazar cutting him from continuing on with his ridiculous speech. "I never agreed to knowingly cause you to loose employees or fight against the cyber drome. I just setup my own business with Rudra. I never forced anyone to join me. It was all consensual and I can prove it. It is just sad that the cyber drome was maintained so bad, that the minute another business was opened your employees decided to quit it."

"But, but,." tried Jack to defend his position but he couldn't get a proper argument.

"Now that we have established that I haven't broken any family code, let us talk about you. You had a great chance to expand into the V.R. cafe business for the past six years. But all I see is that it had deteriorated to a far worse condition than it was five years ago. Even if I didn't set up a V.R. cafe, anyone who had an idea to set one up would have caused the same. Just be glad that I managed to keep it within the family."

Balthazar clearly specified publicly that he had not forced anyone and also that he had paid the severance fees. So, Oliver as an elder couldn't reprimand him. But his son Jake, is someone who was not satisfied easy. Balthazar knew that Jack wouldn't let it be. If Jack couldn't challenge Balthazar, he would try something or the other to his cyber cafe to force him to challenge.

"I had better nip this issue in the bid to avoid any further troubles in the future," thought Balthazar as he thought out a simple plan. If he challenges Jack now and Jack loses the fight. Then he could directly use the family rules to force Jack to not compete with him again.

Thinking along those lines, he said, "Cousin Jack, if you really want to challenge me for a fight to stop me from starting a cyber cafe. You can do so. Just don't search for random excuses but simply bet me for an amount equivalent to the cyber cafe. I put an amount close to 100 million credits into the venture. You can challenge me with something of equivalent value."

"I will also earn some money in this way," thought Balthazar as he smiled inwardly.

The Future: Mankind developed technologies of warping space and interstellar travel has been a common occurrence.
Technological advances improved human lives in many ways and led to longer lives changing their livelihood in unexpected ways. The relentless pursuit of science made humans reach many unseen heights and wonders of the world.

Greed of humans led to rapid and unconstrained expansion till they finally faced an unexpected obstruction in the form of intelligent alien lifeforms. The sudden halt to the human age of expansion by the unknown creatures in their own phase of expansion had led to wars and crime.

We delve into the live of Balthazar, one of the heirs of an ultra-rich family. The world of politics, treachery, war and assassinations.

0900 House of Tempest, Day 3
Normally if someone were to wake up to the sight of two demons lurking over their bed it would be a cause for concern, not so much in this case.  Two small heads, topped with tiny horns, peeked at Nix from the side of the bed.  A tail could be seen swaying back and forth over the shoulder of the closer one.
"Morning."  Sasi perched her chin on the edge of the bed, her curious eyes were full of mischief.

"I was supposed to say that!"  Rabi hissed at his sister, his face looking downtrodden.

Sasi patted his shoulder in a gesture meant to console him."Sorry, you can tell him about the ice on his feet."

"Nix!  Your legs and feet are completely enclosed in…"  He trailed off, his lips curling in a snarl.  "Sasi!  You did that on purpose!"

"Did what?"  Sasi gave him an innocent look, causing her sibling to stomp out of the room.  The Speaker for the House of Tempest hopped up on the bed and nudged the sleepy-eyed Nix.  "Why are your feet frozen?"

Nix shook his head, lack of sleep made his thoughts cloudy.  He stared at his legs for a moment, letting the sight of their ice encasement register.  "Good question, they weren't like that when I went to bed."

The fire mages hand glowed with flames and with a quick motion he freed his legs without lighting the covers on fire. He rolled out of bed, his yellow eyes continuing to focus on the ice.  Last time something like this happened, it was a result of his curse.  Was this another Khione attack?

A loud banging from the common area drew his attention. "Nix!  Hurry up and get ready!  Rabi has brought you a breakfast tray."

Sasi's head turned toward the doorway.  "We were going to eat downstairs!"

Rabi's laughter could be heard from the common area.  "Rabi has changed the plans!"

Sasi glared at the doorway for a moment before turning back to Nix.  "He did that on purpose!"

"Seems likely." Nix agreed and started getting ready.

0930 Colonial Virtual Reality Lab, St. Paul, Mn
Six Month Assignment: Glory Jones [Probationary DRP]
Name: Cadlyn  Belle, "Cadie"
Age: 24 [Level 125: Minimum level for Everspire]
Skillset: Shotguns (42), handguns (45), and melee combat (53).
Vocation: Freelance Caravan Guard
[Biography]
Cadie is from the Dhou province in Mid-Everspire.  Her family are well-respected members of the Four Corner's Merchant Guild.  From an early age she decided that the merchant life wasn't for her.  When she was old enough, she started accompanying her family's caravans as a guard.  She enjoyed the work and soon sought employment on the larger Caravans servicing all of Mid-Everspire.
Personality Traits: Strongwilled and Loyal.
Glory continued reading, there were a lot of details regarding her childhood and family.  "Is this a good one?"
"Very good."  Director Obrien received the assignments for the six-month dive.  She read all of them before interviewing each of the DRPs individually. "The key takeaway here is that she is independent, that gives you a lot of leeways."
Glory continued to read while Hara briefed her.  There was even a picture of herself with her family.  "Oh.  I'm cute!
Hara nodded in agreement.  "I'll give you the same advice that everyone receives from me.  Immerse yourself before you attempt anything."
"Right." Glory read the guidebook a few times.  Spend time with your NPC family, talk to your childhood friends, and get to know the area where your character was raised.  "The skillset is perfect.  I assume Balto took my background into account?"
"It does to a certain extent.  You must have said all the right things in your questionnaire."  Hara fixed her brown eyes on Glory.  "Be careful.  I once had an assignment like this one."
"You did?  What happened?"
"I was killed.  My first three assignments were all terminated when my character died."
Glory frowned at the thought.  "Shit.  I don't want that to happen to me.  Any preventive measures?"
"Unlike player characters, DRPs [Deep Role-Players] operate without a safety net. "  Hara handed her the packet.  "Get your butt to the viewing room."
Glory nodded.  The viewing room was a collection of events from your assignment's life that could be watched and studied.  Everything from your first love to the kid who beat you up behind the barn.  In the next week, she needed to saturate herself with information.  "Cadie, 24 years old, caravan guard."
Hara smiled and nodded.  "Concentrate on the four-corners.  Those are the provinces of Dhou, Vespri, Lana, and Mocai.  Your character isn't expected to have much knowledge outside of that."

0930 House of Tempest Training Yard Day Three

Nix held a training blade in each hand, there were three Nether Mages directly in front of him, spaced at intervals of five meters.  They were to alternate casting [Uncilliary] at him while he attempted to block.

Chiba stood behind him, once against she chose to start the day in her 'goddess' form.  "I want you to alternate blocking, left blade then the right blade.  Use your footwork to put yourself in the best position."

Nix swiped the blade in his left hand and nodded.  "Shouldn't we switch to another spell?"

"Yes, but not yet." Chiba's lips curved in a smile, it was nothing like the creepy old man smile she usually wore.  "There are steps Nix, Master Beta will be here this afternoon to lend a hand."

The exercise started and very quickly Nix understood the need for footwork.  Because they were working with three mages, he would often be obligated to attempt a left bladed block coming from the far right side.  The trick of it escaped him and he continued to fail opposite side blocks throughout the next hour.

Chiba watched patiently, not commenting.  She could have told him the key, but learning and creativity were part of the process.  Fifteen minutes into the second hour, he finally figured it out.

Yelti has cast [Uncillary]

After blocking the middle cast with his right hand, he found himself out of position and facing Talot on the far right side.

Nix has activated [Ghost Step].
His blade flashed into the gap and flicked the spell to one side.

Chiba clapped from the side of the training yard.  "You can use Ghost Step and Flight of the Gryphon to position yourself.  This is the reason I developed the movement to start with."

Nix paused and looked at his master.  "You developed Ghost Step?"

"Of course.  I am the "Beautiful Genius" after all."

Nix shrugged, developing your own movement technique was an impressive feat.  "Let's keep going."

Nix worked until Beta and Wind showed up, unexpectedly the Gemini thief was accompanied by Wilo, the Air Lord companion to Ronnie.  "Is Ronnie here?"

Wind shook his head. "Wilo hangs out with the King quite a bit."

As if to emphasize the point, the buzzing dragonfly wings of Wilo hovered in the air, the tiny gecko was sitting her shoulder.  They circled overhead and then disappeared over the Manor. Soup stared at them as they flew away.

"Looks fun right?"  Nix scratched Soup's soft tummy.  Sasi assured Nix that Soup would be safe while in the House of Tempest, so Nix allowed her to explore freely.  "I'll take you flying later."

The Qi family siblings were busy during lunch so the group ate in one corner of the training yard, helping themselves to a large platter of different meats, cheese, and fruit.

Nix noticed that Beta would touch Wind often.  Small gestures that ended with her hand on his arm or brushing her knee against his.  It was no secret that they were a couple, but it was obvious that things were going very well.  "What's Mtui having you do nowadays?"

Beta sighed unhappily at the mention of her Breach Commander. "Thanks to a certain guild, the threat from the Nether is gone.  No more undercover assignments, or prison breaks."

Nix laughed at her expression.  Whenever she was bothered, her cheeks would turn red.  "In all fairness, you didn't break out of prison."

Chiba frowned when she remembered being chained with Beta in the Nether prison and unable to 'self-soothe'.  "He's right, the Rat-King broke us out."

Beta's petite face wore a tiny smile. "Obviously, you've spent some time behind bars."

*Cough, cough*  Nix cleared his throat and drank from his glass of ice water.  "Nothing going on today then?"

Beta shot Wind a sly smile.  "Well... How about you and Chiba accompany us after training?  There is a parade planned.  All sorts of dancers, and musicians will be making their way through the streets."
Nix hated parades, ever since he was a child and got lost for several hours.  "What's the parade for?"

Beta's pink eyes sparkled with excitement. "Now that the cities are connected again, the Dragon City Masters are restarting an old annual tradition."

"I see," Nix replied. "Is anyone from Inferno walking in the parade?"

Wind shook his head.  "Nope.  No one even asked us."

"Even though it was Inferno that put them back together."  Nix shook his head slightly.  "I'm out."

Chiba frowned at her apprentice for a moment before facing Beta.  "Fine, Nix is out but I'm in!"

Wind let a slow breath out, a group of four was much better than three. "You sure Boss?  I hear the Dragon Masters have had these elaborate costumes made, they'll be the last group walking through."

Nix shrugged.  "Bunch of silly peacocks."

Chiba raised an eyebrow.  "A what cock?"

Nix hid his interest by stuffing several pieces of cheese in his mouth.  He had met each of the Dragon City Masters during the link-up process.  They ranged from the amiable Tai'Qui to an incredibly arrogant ass named Jargon Kane.  He happened to be the Dragon Master of the City linked directly to Solomon City. 

Nicholas Phire was sentenced to life in prison without any possibility of parole.  Because of the mercy of a lonely prison guard, a new world is presented to him.  Nix finds himself in the Virtual World of Colonial with a hundred-year assignment as Lifestyle player in the Gladis Hub.  Will Nix stay in the remote village located on the polar Ice Cap?  Or does adventure await for the man whose life was supposed to be over?

Back on Planet Golden Gate…
The round trip had taken him close to a month. The twenty-four spaceships that Han Xiao had taken returned to Base No. 1. The pillaging ships were smaller in size, and after modifying the messy coating on their exteriors, these were absorbed into the assault fleet.
The Crow Grade ship was on the same grade as a Violent Falcon Grade battleship, so it was stored in the hangar. After it was repaired, it could be put into use.
Including those spaceships, Han Xiao had close to a hundred spaceships under his fleet. It was divided into four divisions. One was the strategic core division that was made of the Fortress Grade flagship alone. The second was the battleship division formed by Violent Falcon Grade and Crow Grade ships, in charge of guarding and direct combat. The third was the assault fleet formed by the seized DarkStar assault ships and the galactic pirate pillaging ships, with speed superiority. The fourth was the rented carrier spaceship division used to transport manpower.
As for the BlackLight Stealth, it was for Han Xiao and Han Xiao only. Made by the Federation of Light, its grade and performance were way ahead of all other spaceships in the Black Star Army. Also, Risda was not willing to let too many people use his body.
Watching the last spaceship being parked in the hangar, Han Xiao had Phillip close its gate and locked Sykes and the other captives in the secret cell of Base No.1.
This cell had been built from an extremely strong alloy, covered with many automatic weapons such as cannons, nerve gas, sedative injectors, large vacuum gravity field, and many others. Inside the walls were many mini cameras monitored by Phillip at all times. The security was extremely tight to prevent the captives from escaping.
Because he had extracted the Super-Gene of those captives every day on the way back, they all were weak, including Sykes.
Since Calamity Grades were able to recover much faster, Sykes received special treatment. His production rate was more than five times that of the others.
Han Xiao had stored hundreds of Ability Potions that were categorized. Some were for his own use; some were sold in the faction store.
The interior of Base No.1 was filled with bridges like a beehive. As Han Xiao walked on the streets, players could be seen everywhere, getting used to the new Main City.
Many people looked at Han Xiao. He was a renowned NPC in the eyes of the players, and he was the leader of the faction. When the players saw him, they all felt a sense of closeness to him, and quite a number greeted him, to which Han Xiao nodded back in reply.
There were many issues in the faction waiting to be resolved. Han Xiao checked through Sylvia's homework then returned to his room. He took out a concentrated nutrition bar and started chewing while settling these issues.
The first issue was to clean up after the missions carried out by the many players.
Other than Planet Sunil, most of the players carrying out missions around the Garton Star System had completed and returned. This was the first large scale hiring event for Black Star Army, so Han Xiao took it quite seriously. He told Phillip to filter out the problematic records in it and browsed through them one by one.
Of course, not all players were doing well. Some of the players had a rather low mission completion percentage. Furthermore, there was even a small group of people that messed around and completely messed up the mission, sullying the name of the Black Star Army. For the former, Han Xiao told Phillip to send a sincere apology to the employer on behalf of the Black Star Army. As for the latter, the Credibility Rating of their mercenary profile was deducted, and the grade of the missions that they could accept was lowered.
Since Han Xiao wanted to expand the Black Star Army with the help of the players, he was prepared for the problems that came with it. The issues now were all small problems. The effect brought by the players was much more beneficial than detrimental.
The first large scale hire event stabilized the name brought by the Godora award ceremony.
When looking for mercenaries, the employers in the Garton Star System all chose the local Black Star Army as their first choice. The Mercenary Alliance recognized the Black Star Army's position in the Garton Star System as the top of the industry and provided them with a continuous supply of high-quality employment missions.
The result of this was that the business of the Garton Star System mercenary industry was practically monopolized by the Black Star Army. Although the population of a Star System was very high, not many people needed mercenaries. The freelance mercenaries in the Garton Star System suddenly started to notice that they could hardly find high-quality hires anymore. The list given to them by the Mercenary Alliance consisted of most low reward jobs.
The freelance mercenaries were very jealous of the business enjoyed by the Black Star Army. Many people had realized that if the Black Star Army continued to grow at this pace, the available jobs in the Garton Star System would all be finished sooner or later, and the new jobs would then be taken by the Black Star Army as well. Then, the freelance mercenaries could very likely end up with no job, which was a very horrible future to think about.
The rise of the Black Star Army could not be stopped. The freelance mercenaries had to choose one of three paths. First was to not care about future developments and continue doing what they were doing; second was to leave the Garton Star System and find jobs in another place; third was to request to join the Black Star Army.
Quite a few freelance mercenaries took the third path. The Black Star Army was increasing in size and had an extremely good name, and since Black Star Army was on its way to monopolize the entire mercenary industry of the Garton Star System, joining them did not seem like a bad choice after all. From the victims of the Black Star Army's rise, there could be some who benefitted from it and enjoyed the Black Star Army's businesses.
In Han Xiao's plan, there was a part of it that included increasing their name with the players in order to attract freelance mercenaries. After the players joined, their size exploded to hundreds of thousands of members. The facilities of their base were mostly complete, and they had ample funds, so he was not planning to control the Black Star Army's number of members. He told Phillip to filter the background of the freelance mercenaries that requested to join, who then deleted some that were clearly incompetent and were there just for the easy missions, leaving those who were skilled and had good records.
About 7,000 freelance mercenaries were left after the first selection.
However, this number was still not decided yet. Han Xiao told Phillip to send a notice to those mercenaries to come to Base No.1 for an interview fifteen days later. Some would be disqualified again, and only the ones who remained after that would be recruited by the Black Star Army.
Recruiting more freelance mercenaries was a very important step of the Black Star Army's expansion.
The second issue waiting to be resolved was also related to the players.
After the first independent hiring event, these players were more familiar with the galactic environment and mission flow. Many players shared the difficulties that they met during the hires on the forums.
Han Xiao paid attention to these problems. In his previous life, he had also experienced the stage of not being used to the new environment after first entering the universe, so he had expected this. He knew about most of the difficulties the players faced.
As early as one year before Version 2.0 started, a part of his machinery production line had been building support items, which were intended to help with the players' ability to carry out missions.
Now that there was finally a demand for this, Han Xiao planned to put these mechanical items into the faction store as well. The timing was perfect—the players were just done with their first hire, and most of them had to return to Base No.1. The sales were definitely going to rocket.
…
In the store area of Base No.1, many people were going in and out. This was the place with the highest player density.
Although they could shop online through Phillip, they could only see the physical item at the store, which was also the collection point.
Many players used their latest earnings to buy equipment.
At this time, the faction store suddenly refreshed. A number of new items were placed at the top of the list with a very visible 'NEW' sign in their top right corner.
"New items so soon?"
"Let's see what they are."
Every update to the store would attract attention from a large number of players, and this time was no exception.
Di di di…
The sound of communicators rang continuously in the crowd. Many people took out their communicators to take a look. It was Phillip's supporting program that announced the update of the store, which could be browsed through the pre-order list.
Very soon, players realized that the new items were surprisingly not combat equipment.
They looked at the introduction of the new items.

The players faced complex environments while carrying out the missions. The mission requirements varied, including but not limited to infiltration, pursuit, mining, scouting, assassination, combat, and others. Sudden developments often occurred.
Although these mercenaries added by Han Xiao were not equipment that heightened one's combat capability, they could allow one to adapt to many situations. These were tactical items that could efficiently increase the players' ability to deal with accidents, enhancing their performance as mercenaries.
The technology used in these machines was not advanced, but they were things the players needed very much. They were cheap, useful support items.
For machines such as the turret, they were something that Han Xiao had created long ago. He had been using the turrets, but only now did he sell them to the players in large quantities. He was not yet selling the more advanced electromagnetic turrets and energy turrets but gunpowder turrets. The average level of the players now was around seventy, so the gunpowder turrets were still quite useful.
Some Mechanic players at the time could also build some of these products, but in terms of quality, cost, and price, their products were grossly inferior compared to those on the Black Star Army store.
These functional items were just right for the new needs of the players.
"These seem very useful."
"I was just about to accept a job. These new items came right on time."
The players were pleasantly surprised.
Not only the players in Base No.1, but the players who were on Sunil or doing missions on other planets also received Phillip's notification. They were all very tempted.
Especially the 200,000 players in Planet Sunil. They were dealing with the Catastrophe, so they had to deal with the complicated wilderness situations and even clear out the underground Prophecy Stone Mine. The addition of [Worker Bee Armor] was absolutely perfect.
Stock was limited, and the players hastily bought what they needed. The prices of these new products were very low, so their demand was high. Within twenty minutes, the inventory was cleared out, and many who could not buy them pre-ordered the next batch.
The players were used to the special 'Growing Faction' attribute of the Black Star Army. They felt that the reason that these new items appeared was because the players of the Black Star Army had worked together to develop the faction. Looking at the new items of the faction store, many players felt a sense of achievement.
…
After adding these support items, Han Xiao observed the sales. Since they were functional items, their price was low and affordable. Nonetheless, the entire inventory was sold out within half an hour. His funds rose nonstop as the players' money flew into his personal account.
This sale had made him an astonishing total of 6,600,000 Enas!
Including Noriosse's investment and the income from the last sales, Han Xiao had a total of 44,000,000 Enas!
This was a lot of money.
"Funds are abundant. With this money, I can build my Mechanic Army any way I want." Han Xiao was very content.
With so much money, if he was the only one using it, it could last him a very long time. However, of course, these funds had to be used to operate the Black Star Army and support the Black Star Army's expansion.
The blueprint that Han Xiao had set for the Black Star Army's development was gigantic. He planned to use the Garton Star System as a foundation, choose dozens of important NPC resource planets, and keep building sub-bases. He would turn the Garton Star System into the Black Star Army's headquarters, controlling the mercenary business there tightly or even monopolizing it.
Then, he would expand the business to other Star Systems and build sub-bases in other Star Systems, expanding step by step. Many parts of this plan required a lot of money, such as adding a large number of spaceships, recruiting, building partnerships with more organizations, and so on.
The identity of a mercenary group was just a stepping stone; Han Xiao's real target was to develop enormous military power, like Bloodshed Land.
The funds required for this blueprint was a number that he could not calculate or imagine.
The only thing he knew was that the money that he had now was far, far from enough.
His mission was heavy, and the road was long.
"This won't be completed within a short time. The sales route is already built anyway, so profit will keep coming. There's no need for me to be too tight on spending."
Han Xiao smiled. He took out his communicator and ordered a large number of materials from the raw material provider that he had been working with.
Finally, he had some free time to strengthen all his combat equipment to the Calamity Grade standard!
"Let's hope something like the Purple Snake Space Pirates incident doesn't happen again…"


What do you do when you wake up and find yourself inside the very game that you love? 
What do you do when you realize you that you have not only become an NPC - you have even been thrown back in time to before the game even launched! 
What will happen when our protagonist's two realities coincide? 
Han Xiao was a professional power leveler before his transmigration. Using his past life's knowledge, Han Xiao sweeps through the universe as he prepares for the arrival of the players. This is definitely not your typical transmigration novel.

Everyone who was focused on the Cannes Festival heard the news. In foreign countries, not a lot of people were interested, but indie film fans knew that Qin Guan had won the Best Actor Award of the 56th Cannes Festival.
He was the third Chinese actor to get that award after Ge You and Liang Chaowei. Everyone wanted to toast to that.
Qin Guan’s female fans went crazy online. His fan club was expanding at a high speed. His official fans were as many as 100,000. Most of Qin Guan's acquaintances were frightened. They hadn’t expected their son, fellow classmate, and friend to win the award. Only the word "f*ck" could express their sorrow.
...
"Got it!" Rongzhi shouted with sparkling eyes after working all night long. He had finally found out who Blaire, the freelance writer of The New York Times, actually was.
Then he discovered his apartment address and IP address through the local network station. Finally, he invaded Blaire’s computer.
Counterfeiters always saved the original photos or documents in a folder that they never opened in their whole lives. Rongzhi found Blaire’s secret in an encrypted folder.
"Show me your secrets. OMG is waiting!"
Rongzhi rubbed his hands happily. Then he opened the folder and checked it out.
"What the f*ck... What’s that?" Current affairs… Entertainment gossip… Rumors... Real news were twisted into completely different reports.
There were 40 fake reports in total. Blaire had been publishing them in The New York Times for more than a year. It seemed that The New York Times, the newspaper with the highest sales volume in America, published unverified news quite often. Blair was a frequent writer of the newspaper. What a joke!
If the chief editor was careful, he could have found the loopholes. However...
Emboldened by his initial success, Blair had continued his unscrupulous fabrication.
Rongzhi took an excited breath and copied all the proof. Like a dedicated professional, he sent it to both Qin Guan and Vivian. As soon as she got everything, Vivian posted it on OMG, complaining openly about her idol.
Yes, that’s right. Complaining!
Qin Guan's romantic life was discussed heatedly on the forum by people interested in gossip. They were all really happy about the news.
In America, such stories were common among both ordinary people and stars. Female fans though, who tended to be perfectionists, couldn't accept that.
Childhood sweethearts? You cheated on her as soon as you won the award! Besides, that girl was not even beautiful!
They had a unique opinion on Chinese beauties. They preferred dark skin and thick lips, so Li Bingbing did not match their taste.
The story changed really quickly though, when everyone found out about the fake news fabricated by The New York Times. It was unbelievable! Now everyone knew about the fake news published by the most popular newspaper in America.
In a few minutes, the netizens had gone crazy. The striking news were on OMG, where everyone gathered to spread it.
In 10 minutes, the editors of all the mainstream media and portal websites had heard. Phones rang again and again. Will Ryan, the chief editor of The New York Times, rushed into his office.
The directors of all the sections were crowded inside, although it was not working hours.
"Talk… Anyone got through to Blair?"
Ryan rubbed his temples tiredly. The aggressive, achievement-oriented man was in big trouble.
"According to our technical staff, the material online is real. Blair is a fraud."
"We have to make an announcement tomorrow to correct the fake news..."
"Blair stole information from other media. Now we have to negotiate with those writers and publishers."
"The victim of his latest story was the Cannes Best Actor winner. His lawyer has sent us a letter..."
The calm, efficient man seemed overwhelmed by the bad news. He lowered his head, and then looked up again. Before he could say something to his startled staff, the phone rang again.
"Chief editor, you have a call from the board..."


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

Noone's gaze was trapped within the deep blackness of the dark elves' eyes. From the first moment Noone had looked over, he quickly realized that this thing was staring past everybody and right at him.
Noone discretely checked to see if anyone else had noticed. So far no one else in the room had seemed to catch on. Everyone's gaze was on the dark elf instead. Noone quietly stepped behind Tobias, not breaking eye contact with the smiling figure in the cage.
Noone's heart thumped in his chest as he moved. The woman's eyes were purely trained on him and they followed him as he moved. He stopped moving so he wouldn't bring any more attention to himself and observed everyone around him. Noone was beginning to feel that these weren't her eyes anymore, instead the expression on the dark elves face was lacking any of the emotion of a sentient person.
Only a few moments had passed, but everyone in the room had turned so anxious that it felt like minutes instead. General Armuu unceremoniously cleared his throat, eyes wide as he stared at the dark elf. "Alright. Everyone. Get out. You have your assignments." He said without leaving any room for argument.
Tobias's eye's tightened as he stared at the general. The feelings he got from the captive was more than enough to make him consider sticking around… however, he took a glance back at Noone who had discretely stepped behind him.
"I have my own duties, I can't afford to get caught up in something strange." He thought to himself frowning. Finally he nodded and, against his better judgement, turned his back on the cage and left the tent practically dragging the rest of his party out with him.
Giving a final glance at the woman in the cage, Noone quickly left the tent before anyone could notice her eyes trailing his silhouette.
Unbeknownst to Noone, the smile which had been on her lips – wide and full of mischievous malice – was quietly etched into a corner of his thoughts. "What in the world was that thing?" Noone thought to himself. Once outside of the tent, he was finally able to breathe. The amount of pressure those eyes had caused to envelope him left a cold feeling on the back of his neck.
Noone looked down at his hands. For some reason, they were shaky with adrenaline as though his body had just been through some life-threatening experience.
"W-What was that? Tobias?" Sally was the first to break the silence which had taken the group. Her composure was on the verge of being completely broken. Tobias brought himself out of his thoughts and his gaze softened as he looked at the disheveled Sally. This was not a fault of her own, Tobias knew. The pressure from the dark-elf had been too much.
Sally was extremely devout, and her sensitivity to things that went against the good gods of life was especially keen. She had had no time to prepare herself against the thing in that cage, and nothing had ever made her feel like that thing had.
Even the usually carefree and carefully neutral Rae was frowning from the experience.
Feylin and Sarah had got off relatively easy. Feylin was too young and low level to be extremely sensitive the way Sally was, and Sarah had the protection of Hoar which had strengthened her mind against certain types of influence.
Noone said nothing, however he couldn't stop thinking about why it had been staring directly at him. Was it coincidence? Noone took a deep breath calming his heart.
Tobias stood with his arms crossed considering a lot of things that he didn't make known to the group. Eventually he could only slouch slightly in defeat, having no answers.
"Whatever occurred in there does not concern us. We are here to subjugate the dark elves and use the portal back to the capital. Everything else is a matter of the army and Cinapul." He said with a sigh. "We have our assignments. See to it that you don't cause trouble. Raelith, you take charge. I will take Noone and Sarah with me to the front."
Rae nodded her head and gave a gentle pat to Sally's and Feylin's shoulders, motioning for them to follow her. This wasn't her first rodeo with an army, so she had a general idea of where the medical tents would be set up.
Noone and Sarah followed Tobias silently, weaving between tent after tent and watching the going-ons of an army encampment as they pushed what had occurred just moments before out of their thoughts.
This was the first time either of them had experienced an army. Sarah knew what to expect from what she had heard living in the common realm her whole life… but Noone was gradually becoming completely overwhelmed by what he was seeing.
Every person he saw was dressed in some manner of uniform and carrying a weapon. There was the exception of a few freelance individuals who did not fit in with the rest.
It was loud. It was rambunctious. And everywhere Noone looked he could see a mix of young newly trained soldiers to battle hardened militants.
There must have at least been just less than a thousand individuals. 
Noone grit his teeth. Around 800 people specifically trained for battle? What kind of concept was that? And this was just for subjugating a small town of dark elves, he thought. When two countries go to war… how many people does it require? How many soldiers? How many... die?
He thought about what the magic council had told him about the last epoch-tribe war… an entire nation numbering innocents in the millions perished.
What about the current oncoming epoch-tribe war? They had said they were trying to negotiate with the golden-body tribe… but what if it doesn't work out? Will everyone he has met so far just become ash… like Tapestry?
He had been in the common realm for a while now and Noone had come to understand that there was truly no shortage of humans in the world. Even other races outnumbered Noone's conclave by multiple folds.
What once was the entire world to Noone - the ten thousand residents of Tapestry - was now only some remote, forgotten, and inconsequential gravestone at the edge of the world.
Noone's head throbbed and his body swayed suddenly as a pounding wave of nausea overcame him. He clutched the pendant which hung from his neck, squeezing it tightly in his hand. He sent power coursing into it, forcing the pendant into a submissive state as he gasped a breath.
Again…? Noone thought. His jaw tightened as he looked inside the pendant. The figure within the ice was as lifeless as usual, but Noone noticed the ice containing it had melted slightly since the last time he checked.
"This is the second time the bedeviled will had put pressure on my consciousness." He thought to himself. "The first was when I was in front of the magic council…. And then this time." He quietly contemplated the pendant and the will inside of it as he followed Tobias, no longer paying attention to what was around him.
"It seems to want to influence me by pushing my mind towards the cold and cruel thinking… and it does that when I'm already distracted with similar thoughts." Noone considered his options. "What would happen if it succeeded? Would I become like before?" He thought about what had occurred after he inherited the common heritage. 
"I think… no matter what that would be a bad thing."
He quietly tucked the necklace behind his shirt again and continued following Tobias until they had arrived at the edge of the encampment, closest to the base of the mountain.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for whoever is in charge of the front line? We were sent here to join." Tobias spoke to a man in a well-kept but worn uniform – obviously an old hand. After a minute of talking the man pointed Tobias to a drinking circle nearby along with a rough looking dwarf who sat next the circle but drank on his own. 
Tobias thanked the man and they all walked over to introduce themselves.
Noone was reminded of the process they went through with Novrada, the dwarven woman who was in charge of the caravan security. All in all, there were no hiccups except for a few stares Noone received from the nearby soldiers. Even in an army of almost a thousand, Noone's presence was enough to draw attention to him.
Many people who saw him couldn't help but feel that he looked like a carved marble statue come to life, with an iron-axe and all.
When Noone introduced himself to the dwarf as a fighter, the dwarf quietly scoffed as he looked up at Noone and mumbled something about the Cinapul army having nothing but brutes. It was a weird sentiment for a dwarf, Noone thought.
Soon the three were shown to a crowded tent and given three cots to sleep on.
"When will we begin the assault?" Tobias asked the dwarf who merely shrugged by way of response.
"Whenever the scouts finish a full report. We have been here for a week and it shouldn't be long, but the dark elves know we are here which slows us down by quite." The dwarfs thickly accented voice clarified for Tobias.
Having a paladin on the front lines was a huge boon to their strength and as such the dwarf would not be shy about appeasing Tobias's curiosity.
Tobias nodded but said nothing. Obviously, he had his own thoughts as he looked towards the mountain.
From the look in Tobias's eyes, Noone thought he could sense an ire from the paladin. He scratched his chin in thought. By this time night was quickly approaching, and the three prepared themselves for the next day.

What happens to a world of Magic and Dragons when a cultivator bursts into their universe? What about when a cultivator is raised right under their noses?

How do Wizards and High Elves, Dungeons and Dwarves, fare against an unknowing cultivator and the Laws of the Universe?

Epochs ago an Immortal left his inheritance behind on a dying plane of existence. 

Now, at the edge of what was once desolate world, the immortals inheritance is about to make himself known. And his name is Noone.

An original cultivator of his world, unguided, and unrestrained.

Noone is the powerless child of a civilazation locked away at the edge of the world. When tragedy occurs, and his world is turned around, he inherits the Will of The Ancestor. An ancient legendary being who protected the conclave of Tapestry, until the desolate world above would become re-inhabitable.

IMPORTANT: This is a long-form narrative. If you don't enjoy slower-paced world building then this isnt the novel for you.

NOT: a systems/reincarnation story

Sorry for making you guys wait, I had to revise the entire novel after deciding on a better timeline, online classess takes up the first six hours of my day with an occasional extra hour for assignments(it's really six but I'm the last second kind of guy). Anyway, I have not dropped this book and I don't plan to in the foreseeable future, at least until the story has finished at least one arc(I originally had a plan for the first three but I scrapped them after having difficulty in mixing three different universes with their own timelines). 
Really sorry, if you want to drop this because of the erratic update rate, I understand. If you decide to keep reading, plot suggestions are always welcome. 
Note: This chapter will be deleted after I finish chapter 1
