Writing prompts from me to you. I personally cant write well, might aswell share ideas.

[Natta Blades (Grade 2)]

Damage: 17-23

Effect 1: [Bleed]- Applies the bleed effect when hitting the target's skin. Deal 1 damage every 5 seconds for 1 minute.
Effect 2: [Pairing] - Natta Blades exist as a pair, without their twin blade, reduced the weapons stats and effects by 50%

Li Wei crouched next to Ranger Oleg's body and picked the two daggers. They were unexpectedly Grade 2 equipment! The Natta Blades were an excellent pair of weapons but they paled in comparison to Li Wei's Dark Runic Swords. He swiftly placed them in his inventory and continued to search Ranger Oleg's body.

To his disappointment, there were no more valuables aside from the ring at his finger and the keys to open the graveyard. Having been playing the role of the gravekeeper, Ranger Oleg did not wear any rare equipment. 

"Just too bad... But I hope your brother won't disappoint me."

Li Wei picked the ring and the keys and made his way to Mage Oleg. 

[Skull wand (Grade 2)]
Intelligence +1
Wisdom +1

Skill: [Summon Skeleton]

[Summon Skeleton (level 1)]
Summons a skeleton to fight for the user for 3 minutes. All the stats of the skeleton are equal to the caster's wisdom.
Mana cost: 60
Cooldown: 2 hours.

"What a powerful wand! I was so lucky he did not use this skill!" exclaimed Li Wei. In the hand of a priest who invested a lot in Wisdom, even at this stage, they could summon a skeleton with all stats set at 25. The skeleton would be much stronger than any players or even NPCs at that level.

[Magic Silk Robe (Grade 2)]
Armor +3
Magic resist +7

Skill: [Mana absorption]

[Mana absorption (level 1)]
A passive skill that increases the user's mana regeneration rate.
Mana Regeneration +1/second

"No wonder he was able to cast so many skills. He could regenerate so much mana... It is even better than my [Tear of Fairies]."

Li Wei sent the two pieces of equipment in his inventory and continued to loot.

[Boots of Gelor]
Armor: +6

Skill: [Blink]

[Blink (level 1)]
Instantly teleports the user a short distance away.
Teleportation distance: 3m
Mana cost: 40
Cooldown: 10 minutes

[Aquamarine Trousers]
Magic resist +10

Skill: [Refresh]

[Refresh (level 1)]
Instantly refreshes the cooldown of a skill whose cooldown time is less than two minutes, including itself.
Mana cost: 30
Cooldown: 2 minutes.

Li Wei's eyes widened. What a deadly combo. The Aquamarine Trousers combined with the Magic Silk Robe formed the ideal set of equipment of a mage. "D*mn, I could have been in so much more trouble. Fortunately, he did not blatantly attack me when I was close to his brother."

"Such a pity I am not a mage... These items are so good," exclaimed Li Wei. He looked at the pieces of equipment in his inventory with envy. They were all tailored for mages, however, Li Wei still decided to change his pants for the [Aquamarine Trousers] and his boots for the [Boots of Gelor].

Both items outclassed his previous equipment. He continued to search for more loot but unfortunately, Mage Oleg only had two more rings. He did not have any leg guards, gloves, armguards or hat.

Li Wei briefly looked at the rings but quickly lost interest. He could not take off his [Ring of Chaos] and the ring with [Earth Wall] was still very useful to Li Wei. Unfortunately, the Mage's pendant also exploded after activating its skill earlier.

These were all the equipment Mage Oleg had but aside from that, Li Wei also found an old yellow book in the mage's robe. It was already clearly damaged by time. However, when Li Wei grabbed it, he obtained the following system prompt:

[System prompt: You have found a tome containing the knowledge of the skill: [Roots of Magic]. Do you want to learn this skill? Once used, the tome will be destroyed.]

[Roots of Magic (level 0)]
Mana cost: 0
Cooldown: 5 minutes
Effects: Decrease the mana cost of all skills by 30% and decrease the cooldown of all other skills by 20%
Note: Roots of Magic will be automatically canceled if the user tries to move his legs or is affected by a strong crowd control effect

"D*mn... Another item useful for mages..." complained Li Wei. He thought he struck gold but in truth, all these items were not suitable for him. However, they would still be valuable and would bring him a large sum of money when sold.

"This should be it."

Li Wei stood up. The quest had been completed. He did not need to spend the night here since he now had the keys to the gate of the graveyard. However, as he was about to walk out of the house, Li Wei's gaze briefly landed on the small opening next to the hobs from which Mage Oleg came out.

"Now that I think about it. Since they have been robbing graves, they should have a few good things in there."

He hesitantly went through the small opening which led to a small cache. As soon as he entered, Li Wei was momentarily blinded by the glistening sight. The cache was filled with gold coins and jewels.

After plundering the graveyard for weeks, the twin brother accumulated quite a bit of gold and items. They did not hesitate to sell the items to the black market and had accumulated a small fortune by doing so. They were planning to run away very soon to enjoy their gold in a different town but unfortunately, the sole beneficiary of their shady business would be Li Wei.

[System prompt: You have found a hidden cache. Do you want to automatically add the following items to your inventory: 592 gold, 20 Grade 0 Jewels and 20 Condensed Crystals. Note that non-craftable jewels have already been converted to gold.]

[System prompt: You have found the Quest item: Chalice of Harmony. Do you want to accept the quest: The long lost Chalice.]

[Quest: The long lost Chalice]
Return the chalice to the church at the capital of an empire.
Reward: 10000 exp and a follow-up quest.

"This... This is too great! I knew the rewards for completing the quest would be huge but I did not expect so much!" exclaimed Li Wei. Without hesitation, he agreed to both system prompts. The cache was emptied in an instant as Li Wei's inventory became full.

He looked at his inventory with interest. He now had 619 gold, much more than any player could hope to obtain through normal means. The Grade 0 jewels were materials that could be embedded into weapons. They were not very useful to Li Wei as only Jewellers could use them and this profession could only be unlocked at the capital. As for the Condensed Crystal, they immediately attracted Li Wei's attention.

[Condensed Crystal]
Consume to obtain 1000 exp

Li Wei was delighted. The harvest this time was huge! He was about to use the Condensed Crystal when a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

'Since all these items were essentially robbed from the graves, will I get into trouble if I do not return them all? They should all belong to rich NPCs and their families might come after me... The Condensed Crystals coincidentally give me the exact amount of exp I would have obtained if I submitted the quest.'

He was in a dilemma. The harvest looked too good to be true and after thinking for a while, Li Wei came up with a potential scenario. In the end, he chose to not touch the Condensed Crystals yet. He would first go to the Warrior Association and see whether they would ask for the items. 

'If it was a subjugation quest, it would have been fine to just take everything but this quest is a bit different. It is better to be safe. Using them now won't have much effect anyway. I need more than 40 thousand exp to level up again.'

Li Wei was about to leave the house when suddenly, two system prompts sounded:

[System prompt: An emergency quest has been issued: Save the warehouses!]

[Quest: Save the warehouses(Unique)]

[Information]

The warehouses of Verdan Town have all mysteriously caught fire. Help the guards put out the fire and save the food stored in the warehouses

Task 1: Go to the well near the warehouses and help the guard put out the fire by carrying buckets of water from the well to the warehouses.
Task 2: Save the items still in the warehouses.

Reward: 100 exp per item saved or 100 exp per bucket of water carried

Note: This is an emergency quest. Players do not have to participate. Not participating in any emergency quest will worsen their relationship with the citizens of the town.

[System prompt: An emergency quest has been issued: Find the arsonists!]

[Quest: Find the arsonists(Unique)]

[Information]

The warehouses of Verdan Town have all mysteriously caught fire. The guards have identified that the incident was man-made due to the fire's abnormal resistance to magic. Help the guards find clues about the arsonists.

Task: Find clues about the arsonists and report to the barracks

Reward 1: 20000 exp for each clue given if the arsonists are caught.
Reward 2: Alternatively, players would receive a mysterious reward for arresting the arsonists by themselves.

Note: This is an emergency quest. Players do not have to participate. Not participating in any emergency quest will worsen their relationship with the citizens of the town.

"What? What on earth is happening outside?" exclaimed Li Wei. Having received the system prompts, Li Wei was certain that all the players have also received it and considering the negative effects of refusing, everyone would definitely participate. 

"This is bad." Li Wei briefly looked at his character window. His fatigue was already at 54. It was quite high and after passing 60, his stats would be affected. He was reluctant to take part in the quests but he knew all the other players also had high fatigue levels. Some might even be in worse shape than him.

He quickly left Oleg's house and went to the entrance of the graveyard. In the distance, he could already see part of the town brightly emitting an orange light. He took out the keys and opened the gates but at that moment, two more system prompts sounded:

[System prompt: An emergency quest has been issued: Defend Verdan Town!]

[Quest: Defend Verdan Town(Unique)]

[Information]

The scouts caught sight of a wave of flying demons. They should arrive at Verdan Town in the next ten minutes. Help the town defend against the demons

Task: Go to the barracks and enroll yourself for the night. Assist the guards in killing the flying demons

Reward: 10000 exp 

Note: This is an emergency quest. Players do not have to participate. Not participating in any emergency quest will worsen their relationship with the citizens of the town.

[System prompt: An emergency quest has been issued: Escort the Royals!]

[Quest: Escort the Royals(Unique)]

[Information]

The aim of the flying demons is the Earl's castle. The Earl has ordered for his two sons, the 6th prince and the 7th princess to be evacuated.

Task: Go to the barracks and volunteer to escort one of the four characters during their escape to the next town.

Reward: 10000 exp 

Note: This is an emergency quest. Players do not have to participate. Not participating in any emergency quest will worsen their relationship with the citizens of the town.

"What is this? Two more emergency quests? This cannot be a coincidence. Is it an event? Did somebody trigger it?" 

...

In the middle of the night, Skywalker rushed across the streets, wearing his trusty cloak. "Are you sure we made the right decision? There is a quest that has been released to hunt us!"

Dark King bit his lips. "We knew something like that would happen but as soon as we leave the town, everything will be fine. Nobody will know that we were behind this."

Followed by a group of players, the two players went into a dark alley where a cloaked figure was waiting for them.

"Sir, we have done our part of the plan. As you requested, we swapped some of the fruits for the explosives and put them in the warehouses. At the same time, my men have set the other warehouses on fire. They should be on their way here," solemnly said Dark King.

"Hmmm." The cloaked figure took out his cloak and nodded. If Li Wei was here, he would immediately recognize the cloaked figure as the old identifier!

"You did well. This should have caused enough chaos to split the guards." The old identifier nonchalantly pressed onto one of the bricks behind him. It activated a secret mechanism; with a muffled cranking noise, the wall behind the old man slid open.

"Follow me. Everything you asked for has been prepared. We also prepared an escape path as you requested. However, it is also being used by our men to infiltrate the town." The old identifier guided the players to a secret warehouse where countless boxes full of potions were waiting for them.

Dark King grinned as he saw the glistening potions. At the same time, he received a system prompt:

[System prompt: You have completed the quest "Cause chaos", 100000 exp awarded.]

In an instant, Dark King leveled up to level 18. He received an absurd amount of exp just for completing one quest, allowing him to completely skip level 17. Furthermore, he was not the only one, all the members of Exodia, currently in Verdan Town, received the exact same notification.

The rewards were bountiful. He also got all these boxes of potions that would further increase the stats of his guildmates. However, this quest had a huge risk. If they were caught, not only were they guaranteed to die, they would also suffer in the future as they would be labeled as criminals. This quest was a high-risk high reward quest!

"Dark King. Will our guildmates be fine? They are still running away from the guards. They might get caught," murmured Skywalker.

"Since when did you start to worry about your guildmates? A few losses are inevitable but the majority should be able to make it here. Send them a message and tell them about the brick that opens the wall."

Dark King swiftly commanded the players who transferred all the potions to their inventory. He was delighted. With the massive boost of power they have just received, Exodia should not have any trouble settling in a nearby town. At worst, if they were caught, they would be able to make a name for themselves at the Dark Cities.

The old identifier nodded as he noticed all the potions were gone. He pointed at one of the dark tunnels. "This is the exit. It leads directly outside the town."

However, at that moment, a dark figure emerged from the tunnel, followed by several other men.

The old identifier's eyes lit up. "Gogius! It has been a while. You are still as ugly as the last time I saw you."

"Old man. Time was not very kind to you either. Who are these guys?" asked Gogius as he took off his hood.

"They are the little helpers I found to cause some chaos. Some of the guards of the castle should have left to deal with the fire and with the incoming wave of demons, the castle would be even more defenseless," said the identifier.

"Good. Let's move quickly then. Our goal this time is the Eye of Mydas. It is one of the jewels found in the treasury of the Earl. According to the Messenger, it is a very powerful item that would be useful for the Heir of Darkness to release his third seal. He has already dispatched the flying demon corps to help us with this task."

"Got it. Looks like the faction is sparing no efforts in getting the best materials for the heir. Any regular jewels would have been alright but they are going for the best of the best," commented the old identifier.

"Do not question the orders of the Messenger." Gogius took the lead as several cloaked figures emerged out of the tunnel.

Dark King and the other players froze as they observed the long line of powerful NPCs making their way out of the secret tunnel. 'Looks like it was the right decision to not oppose these lunatics'

At that moment, a voice sounded next to Dark King. "By the way, Dark King. I have a proposition to make. Since you have already helped us cause chaos, why don't you help us in our next task?"

TMS is now well and truly ended.
Thank you Islinda for giving this story a chance for a contract. I hope it proves well for Webnovel.
To all TMS regular readers and supporters. I won't name you individually to respect your anonymity.  With my deepest respect, thank you for your time, interaction and support.  A story can be written.  It's only when it's read that it becomes a tale. 
And I won't forget those from Tapread and Wattpad who gave Hinata and Eiji's drama a chance when it was there.  I've been blessed.
Here is an omake about its own small journey to close the curtains. 
---WPC #46 - To My Sunflower's Journey---
A moment of nostalgia as I look back to the contest that helped me form the concept for this story. Otherwise, I would've never written it.
---[[Writing Prompts Contest #46:Fall in Love with a Soldier
"Believe it or not, the only way we kept in touch was through letters. We would write to each other about our days, about our lives. They were all innocent letters, but they were amazing because it gave me an insight into how simple a person he was."
What it feels like loving a soldier?
"When you fall in love with a soldier, you fall in love with your country; when you fall in love with a soldier, nothing is set in stone on your end. Plans can and will change at the drop of a hat and planning ahead is impossible.
Though all that is true, so is when you fall in love with a soldier, you've found the best there is.
When you fall in love with a soldier, you've found someone who not only loves you more than his own life but loves his country more than his own life as well.
When you fall in love with a soldier, a kiss is worth a million dollars, and no expensive gift can compare.
When you fall in love with a soldier, you've fallen in love with someone who appreciates having a bed, running water and warm food.
When you fall in love with a soldier, you've fallen in love with not who you've prayed for, but someone so much more.
Thank you, God, for letting me fall in love with my soldier."

The winner of my prompt was a book that is now on hiatus. No other entries qualified. At the time I didn't realize that having votes was the rank qualifier. So my book was instantly disqualified.
Despite not making it past the car park, so to speak, I kept this story going. I had moved it to Wattpad and continued to post chapters there.
I entered it into a Wattpad community award, and had eventually won the award for Historical Fiction, but never received the prize for it. 😆
That's okay. Knowing that my writing was enough to be a winner in a judge's eyes was cool. It won over some quality stories as well. That was a prize enough for me.
After some time, I started posting the story to Tapread where it picked up read interest there. Then I got a ping from Islinda who liked the lone chapter I had left on the book page.  
This story has been a blast to write. I'm proud of what I've been able to achieve with it. I have no regrets of what I leave behind, as I have given my best shot.
♥♥
Arigatōgozaimashita.  
Until next time. Take care.♥


Hinata longed for his Eiji to return from war. Alone in the idyllic countryside whilst other areas of Japan were torn asunder. One day, he receives a letter from his lover filled with the scent of sunflowers and his undying love for him. Followed by official news of his presumed death at Iwo Jima. Heartbroken. Yet determined to honor his promise to Eiji; to live the life they were unable to live together.

Eiji fought honorably for Japan at Iwo Jima. He fell injured in a banzai charge to be classified as dead. He recovered with the aid of an American lieutenant, who escorted him back into the mainland for espionage work. His one chance and hope of return to Hinata's side.

A compelling risk of a war story set at the end of the Pacific War, 1945. Two sides of the war, on Japanese soil, are shown from the individual perspectives of same-sex lovers Hinata and Eiji. 

More than a boys love. This story is an emotional drama, revealing heart and souls of people surviving America's assault on Japan. The consequences suffered at war's end.

Draco's lips twitched vigorously. He felt like his horizons had been broadened. 
As a Legendary Tradeskill, how could he have been so naive as to expect any other outcome? Even Magical Engineering swallowed Aether Crystals like they were water, much less Scrivening. 
Draco suddenly understood why the lore for Boundless had been structured in the way it was. If players were to play in a world like the old era, there would be little room for growth, because the NPCs would own everything. 
Epic and Legendary Tradeskills required truckloads of Aether Crystals to function, so by establishing the lore as every single Dragon getting slaughtered, it put the world into an Aether Crystal deficiency. 
With this, it didn't even matter if a player was so outstanding that they received an Epic or Legendary Tradeskill as a fair reward, because it would severely limit how much they could benefit from it and thus a proper balance could be kept in this section of the game. 
But how could the AI have predicted that a beast like Draco would exist? Even if it somehow could have accounted for bloodlines before this, what were the chances of a Serpent God Inheritance member possessing the affinity of a genuine dragon? And a Black Dragon, at that?! 
Even that would have been fine because without bloodline compatibility, they couldn't learn Draconic skills or spells before Update 5. However, Draco had gone to spray his DNA over the AI wickedly. 
Not only that, but he had also abused his future knowledge with Eva's help to discover the only remaining White Dragon on the material world, who had an entire global story event revolve around her once players reached the higher Ranks and began to encounter True Gods. 
All of that went down the drain once Hikari was 'captured' by this vile beast, who proceeded to lay his monstrous claws on her fair skin. 
If it was just that, the AI could have swallowed the bitter pill and re-organized the events of the quest. However, the fellow had then built his bloody settlement over the Aether Mine and used it to form his current City-State. 
His claiming of Hikari led her to grant him the Aether Production passive skill, paving the way for Draco's ensuing evil. 
Afterwards through the fellow foolishly underestimating the immensity of the heavens and earth by playing with the Aether Conversion Orb in the Anomaly Realm beneath the Aether Hall, his Aether Production had been upgraded to the Aether Conversion, which was even stronger than what Hikari possessed. 
He had become a factory for Aether Crystals, and just selling a batch he had spawned over the course of slightly more than a week had made instantly turned him into the world's richest man. 
However, there always had to be balance in life. He had gained the Magical Engineering and Scrivener Tradeskills which were huge Aether Crystal sinks... 
This had been designed to act as a limiter on the Tradeskill's productivity in order to prevent the crafters under this category from becoming far too potent, especially on the NPC's side. 
At the end of the day, Boundless was a game for players, so they would be given better treatment and a higher priority. 
Draco sighed and let it go. He had come here to test the validity of the Tradeskill in order to craft some items and get a hand for its procedures. Once he raised its level with his accumulated Tradeskill experience, everything would become better. 
As such, he paid with 1 medium-grade Aether Crystal to have both Sword Skill 1: Inclined Slash and Sword Skill 2: Parry converted. 
A progress bar appeared beneath both Tradeskills, signaling that it would take 3 hours for the conversion of each of them. 
Draco frowned at the long duration, but attributed it to his low Tradeskill Rank. If he went higher, it was likely that he would be able to shorten this process to mere seconds. 
At least for the basic Tradeskills, higher level meant less time and resources, so it should be no different here. 
In the meantime, he rested his tired mind by mediating in the silent library. He felt his lapsing concentration solidify and his headache begin to diminish slowly. 
The other Tradeskill masters occasionally glanced at their lord who had been silent ever since he entered, with his eyes dazing into the air. They wondered what was going on with the fellow. 
Not only that, but he suddenly began rubbing his temples and whispering expletives under his breath. Such a thing would be inaudible usually, but in this silent atmosphere, he might as well have been yelling. 
Many of them felt their faces redden, because some of the combos Draco used were truly too amazing. They, who were 'intellectuals' who would never reduce themselves to uttering such profanities were naturally exposed to the dark side of the world. 
Many of them were awed. One could actually put such vulgar words together to achieve such a critical hit? Wow! I must try this on that enemy of mine… 
Caff! 
Of course, this was just a passing thought, it wasn't like we would do such things in reality, hahaha! 
After the two techniques were converted, Draco's mind had recovered by 90%. This had taken 6 hours, meaning that the day was almost over. 
However, he wasn't bothered. By spending such a great amount of effort recording his first 100 techniques, he could slowly convert them over time. 
That was another thing, the conversion timer. As Scrivening didn't require one to be at a set location, he could easily pay for the conversion anywhere and have it work in the background. 
So, he could fight, explore or craft while the conversion was going on, maximizing his efficiency. He had chosen to meditate because his splitting headache prevented him from doing anything else. 
However, it had largely recovered now, so he had no problem. As such, he decided to continue the process of Scrivening and learn what its end result was like. 
First, he checked the converted techniques, and saw that they were presented like a skill book in his mind, with their details highlighted. 
 
｢Sword Skill 1: Inclined Slash – Active Skill 
Rank: Common 
Effect: Swing one's sword in a 45° angle to inflict severe lacerations. Deals 20% sword damage on contact. 
Cooldown: 5 seconds.｣ 
 
｢Sword Skill 2: Parry – Active Skill 
Rank: Common 
Effect: Enter a defensive stance that parries a single attack from an enemy wielding a similar weapon. 
Note: This only negates damage, but not the physical force of the attack. 
Cooldown: 10 seconds.｣ 
 
Draco was extremely impressed with his sword skills. They were the first ones he had created, a basic offensive slash and a defensive posture to resist one attack, but they had been further amplified by the conversion. 
20% sword damage on the first one was almost on the level of an Uncommon skill. Not only that, but the cooldown was great, only 5 seconds! 
An average swordsman with this skill would really be crucial in a raid. He could deal 20% of his sword damage every 5 seconds. This was almost as good as the Common Rank Fireball spell which dealt 15% fire damage every 7 seconds. 
If it wasn't for the Sword Skill requiring one to be within arm's length from the enemy, it would be even better than a similarly ranked magic spell! 
As for the second one, it was even better than the previous one because it negated physical damage from one attack every 10 seconds. 
Of course, the attack had to originate from a sword, and even then, it only negated the damage, but did not removed the physical force of the attack. 
Still though, it was an extremely good skill for PvP fights between swordsmen. The one who had this skill would easily wipe the floor with another. 
Draco nodded with satisfaction. Both skills could be used by many players and NPCs of the world, meaning that it would have a great selling value. 
Paying 50 Low-Grade Aether Crystals was equivalent to 50,000 platinum, but if this skill was mass produced and sold, one should easily be able to recoup costs... eventually. 
After all, the AI would have to be very foolish to create a Tradeskill where unless one had many cheats like Draco, it was impossible to profit off it. 
If that was the case, why not just slap "for Draco's use only" on the Tradeskills and let matters rest? 
Draco went to the third screen, which was to pen the skillbook itself. Here, the options were to prepare the ink, prepare the paper and then Scriven. 
Draco selected to prepare the ink, and found that a new pop-up appeared, asking him the Rank of the skill he was choosing to pen. 
He chose the Common Rank, and then a list of materials was shown to him. Aside from that was a detailed process of how to prepare the ink itself. 
When Draco saw the materials, he slapped his forehead. Most of them were Common Rank materials that could easily be acquired. In fact, many of them were already present in the Rank 7 Castle. 
He understood everything now. To make a skillbook at a certain Rank obviously required materials of a similar Rank. How could he use Legendary materials to make a Common product? 
Of course, this logic only applied to writing Tradeskills. Engineering was a Tradeskill were one could make even a Common Rank war weapon with Epic materials, much less Magical Engineering. 
However, it was the end result that mattered. A creation from something like Magical Engineering could warp reality itself, and also could be used by multiple parties. 
Skillbooks could only be consumed once and then they were gone for good. Basically, it was like comparing a printing press and a car manufacturer. Which one cost more to make, a newspaper or a car? At the same time, which one sold for more, a newspaper or a car? 
Draco nodded and called over Darnia again. The pretty, yet young Head Maid entered the room of solemnity, attracting the various gazes of the fellows working here. 
After a long day of work, getting to gaze upon a beautiful woman was truly a pleasing sight, so they took this chance to take a break. 
Naturally, the old woman who managed the library harrumphed unhappily and looked away. When she had been at that age, she was 'naturally' an empire toppling beauty herself, but time was merciless. 
After receiving Draco's orders, Darnia went to collect the necessary items posthaste. In almost no time, she went down to the storerooms and collected some lamp black, honey, some gum arabic as well as supporting materials. 
Draco thanked Darnia and selected to begin crafting the ink. The process was not too complex at all. Since he was making simple black permanent ink, it was simple for the early stage. 
First, he mixed together the egg yolk, gum arabic, and honey. The end result was a strange smelling and yellowish-brown liquid that was extremely viscous. 
Honestly, it looked like someone's diseased phlegm, but Draco didn't want to think about it too much. He made sure to slowly stir in the lamp black, adding it to the yellowish-brown mix. 
Suddenly, the color became pitch-black and the funny smell changed. Now, it stank like good old ink, a very familiar smell that anyone who had gone to school would know with ease. 
The final product was a thick paste that could be stored in a sealed container. However, it wasn't usable yet, because there were some extra steps that needed to be taken. 
Draco took the shavings of a low-grade Aether Crystal and mixed it with the paste, which made its black color glow with a certain magical shine. 
Now, he had the necessary ink to write skills and spells! 
He quickly stored it in a metallic container. Since he planned to make a single book, he had only made two servings of the ink, meaning he would have to make more later. 
Draco inspected his creation. 
 
｢Special Ink – Material 
Rank: Common 
Use: Scrivening｣ 
 
He nodded his head with satisfaction. He would work on the paper next, as he would need to bind it into a book form in order to function properly. 
As for the paper, the process was even simpler than the ink. All he needed was some common rolls of papyrus that hadn't been treated yet. 
He then unrolled and cut rectangular segments to form sheets. Draco used his subjective magic to form a miniscule wind blade that vibrated at a high frequency, so it acted like a razor. 
It was attached to the tip of his index finger and was about the length of his fingernail. With his mechanical accuracy from Control's Body of Godliness, as well as his Void of Perfection's ability to perfectly measure everything within its domain, his incisions were no different from modern day machines. 
He cut out 20 pages of paper, since that was the limit for Common Rank skillbooks. It didn't matter whether it was word or picture heavy, 20 pages was the maximum one could have. 
Draco then used some more Aether Crystal shavings to treat the pages, though he melted these shavings into a syrupy form before applying them. 
After that, the paper glowed with a healthy color, like it had been infused with the breath of life. He then bound them together using some string made from a Rank 3 monster called the Ferrous Spinner, which was a spider that made metallic webs with high tensile strength. 
Next, he used some sturdy, yet soft cardboard to form the cover, sticking the pages to its spine with a supporting material called Gerald's Glue, which seemed to be a material created by a fellow called… Gerald. 
Anyway, it was quite useful as it had the best adhesion available in this world for a simple product, and Draco was able to tie off the process with its help. 
He then painted the cover and spine with a light brown color, adding in some aesthetic designs he liked. Naturally, he repeated this process for the second book, right down to the very same colors and ridges. 
After both were done, he then moved onto the Scrivening process. Funny enough, this one wasn't as hard as he thought. 
He just had to follow some "on-screen" prompts. Basically, just like with the Personal Workstation, he entered an Augmented Reality situation where he was given a 3D guide to follow in writing the book. 
With his very same mechanical accuracy, this was a cinch. Within no time, he had filled the book with all the necessary details of the skill, it even needed some diagrams to be drawn in it, amusing Draco to no end. 
After this, the ambient Worldly Energy was dragged into the book in torrents, creating a small tornado in the room. All the other Tradeskill masters were stunned out of their minds when they encountered this. 
Just now everything had been peaceful, how did things become so chaotic in just a few seconds?! 
Many could only scream or cry when their hard work over the day was pulled into the whirlwind and destroyed. The fortunate ones had just started today while others had been working on this for a month. 
When the torrent subsided, Draco gazed at the book with a smile. It looked no different from a typical skillbook, and his inspection proved that. 
 
｢Sword Skill 1: Inclined Slash – Active Skill 
Rank: Common 
Effect: Swing one's sword in a 45° angle to inflict severe lacerations. Deals 22% sword damage on contact. 
Cooldown: 4 seconds.｣ 
 
Draco looked at the other Tradeskill masters and shook his hands. "Report your losses to Darnia and I shall reimburse you all. I also apologize for any damages or losses incurred." 
His words mollified them greatly. Most would ignore them and leave them to sort themselves out heartlessly, but at least he had apologized and promised to reimburse them. 
While it couldn't recover the precious time and effort that had gone to waste, it was better than being ignored completely. 
"I'd advise you leave the area, as I have one more product to make." Draco warned with a light smile. 
Hearing this, his audience fled the library as if there was a fire on their bottoms. Once bitten, twice shy! After being victims of their Lord's "work", they were now fearful of his presence. 
Draco only smiled before Scrivening the details for the second sword skill in his repertoire. After he was done, another mini-tornado spawned in the library, which made the old woman pound her chest in pain. 
Many of the books here had been ravaged by this beast who called himself 'Lord', yet he didn't even have the guts to look her in the eye so that she could glare at him with hate! 
Of course, Draco wouldn't dare to look at her. After almost destroying the library, how could he have the face to gaze at the librarian? Even Qiong Qi would quietly leave with his tail tucked in. 
 
｢Sword Skill 2: Parry – Active Skill 
Rank: Common 
Effect: Enter a defensive stance that parries a single attack from an enemy wielding a similar weapon. 
Note: This only negates damage, but not the physical force of the attack. 
Cooldown: 8 seconds.｣ 
 
Thanks to the Legendary tools he used in penning the skillbooks, both of them were slightly stronger than they were assessed to be, and he hadn't even activated the enhancement feature yet! 
Draco sighed and took both books into his inventory before blinking away to his personal room. He dared not walk around too much in case the old woman attacked him with her slipper. 
It was a good thing too, as a hate filled scream echoed out in the library as soon as he left. 
Draco returned to his room to see that both Eva and Hikari were waiting for him. After going through their usual routine, they returned to share updates on the progress of the city as well as Roma and Zaine's pregnancies. 
After that, Hikari stated that she was ready for yet another egg, but Draco gave some excuses about having a headache and pretended to quickly fall asleep. 


Draco had risen to the top of the world through his exploits in the legendary FIVR game, Boundless. 

After years of intense conflicts between his guild, Hellscape and the guild of his former infidel lover, Darkrow, things came to a head when Draco conquered all. 

Now, nothing stood in his way of total conquest within the highly acclaimed second world of mankind, as he intended to fortify his new empire.
 
Unfortunately, a timely assassination sent him back into the wheel of time for reincarnation, but not even the Gods gave him peace of death. 

Thrust into the past, Draco realized he'd been given a second chance at life to start from scratch, with all the knowledge of over fifteen years of almost absolute power in Boundless.

Now, his path to glory will be far shorter and filled with more bloodshed than Hades could handle.

"Dragon's Blood Elixir?"
Lu Changkong took the satchel from Ni Yu, who had been exhausted. It still had fifteen Dragon's Blood Elixirs in it.
Ni Yu nodded feebly. She was a little depressed.
Others took elixirs to improve themselves, while she almost died from taking these elixirs…
She almost could not breathe…
Not until then did she recall how the Young Master had warned her before she had taken the elixir. The side effect of Dragon's Blood Elixirs turned out to be so severe for her.
No wonder he did not let Ning Zhao and Yi Yue take any.
Lu Changkong took one Dragon's Blood Elixir from the satchel. Observing the crystal red Dragon's Blood Elixir, he noticed that it had three patterns on it, which moved like small snakes.
"This elixir…"
Lu Changkong fixed his eyes on it. He could feel that the energy contained in the elixir was powerful.
"Young Master said these elixirs are used to build foundations. They can give martial arts practitioners a solid foundation and improve their strengths," Ni Yu said feebly.
"Young Master refined these elixirs in person. It only has a moderate side effect."
Lu Changkong was stunned. A moderate side effect?
Was she serious?
Looking at Ni Yu, quite limp at the moment, Lu Changkong was a little speechless.
"Lord, let a subordinate take one first," Luo Yue said seriously, cupping his hands.
"Now that since the Young Master refined these, they must be harmless."
Lu Changkong did not refuse. He gave Luo Yue the Dragon's Blood Elixir.
Luo Yue was not a Grandmaster, but he had been stuck as a first-class martial arts practitioner for many years.
Luo Yue put the elixir into his mouth without hesitation.
Soon enough, something was changing in him.
Beads of sweat formed in his head, and then he felt his blood was boiling.
Luo Yue took two or three steps back, roaring in a low voice.
It seemed like energy was gushing out of every pore in his body.
Lu Changkong turned serious when he sensed the tumbling Qi and blood.
Luo Yue's eyes were bright and clear as if a jiao dragon was tumbling in his pupils.
"Lord!"
Luo Yue roared in a low voice.
He turned aside suddenly and threw several punches in a row.
An unreal shadow in the shape of jiao dragon gushed out and hit the white jade rail.
The stone rail was smashed into pieces.
Suddenly, Qi burst from Lu Changkong's body. He stopped those stone pieces from flying all over.
He also looked excited.
Luo Yue had just realized a breakthrough!
And it was not an average one. It was a heavenly breakthrough. The power of that punch could even be compared to Lu Changkong's attacks!
After all, Lu Changkong was a martial arts practitioner who had refined Spirit Qi!
"Young Master said the Lord could use these elixirs to train a team of guards, and they could be Beiluo City's trump card."
Ni Yu's lips drooped down at the edges.
She was upset. Why didn't Luo Yue fart after taking the elixir, while she farted in such a shocking manner?
"Good. Good. Good."
Lu Changkong's eyes lit up when he had heard Ni Yu.
"Use Dragon's Blood Elixirs to train a Dragon Blood Army. Together with the cultivators trained in the Dragon Gate in the Secret Realm… Such an army will absolutely be invincible in the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Lu Changkong said, closing his fist.
Next to him, Luo Yue was feeling uncomfortably hot, but he was as excited as Lu Changkong.
"Old Luo, you and Luo Cheng will be the Dragon Blood Army's generals! You will lead the army to protect Beiluo and White Jade City!" Lu Changkong said.
Luo Yue knelt down on one knee. Cupping his hands, he answered, "Copy that!"
******
Lake Island, Beiluo.
It was late and dark.
Sitting straight in the wheelchair, Lu Fan stopped before the rail. He was gazing at the stars in the sky, like an old monk in meditation.
Lu Fan was focusing on the system page at the moment.
[Host: Lu Fan]
[Title: Qi Refiner (permanent)]
[Refined Qi Level: 3 (progress toward Refined Qi Level 4: 1,000/10,000 wisps)]
[Soul Strength: 85 (exchangeable: 0)]
[Physique Strength: 6 (exchangeable: 6)]
[Spirit Qi: 900 wisps]
His Spirit Qi had reached the maximum amount of 1,000 wisps. He was qualified to level up to Refined Qi Level 3.
In fact, Lu Fan had been expecting Refined Qi Level 3 for a long time.
Lu Fan got 20 Available Points when Li Sansi had reached Internal Organs Realm. The Torch Dragon became a heavenly dragon descendant, so he got 10 extra Available Points. Lu Fan added all of the 30 points to his Soul Strength, and that was converted to more than 800 wisps of Spirit Qi. Together with the Spirit Qi he received from the breakthrough of Li Sansi, Nie Changqing, and Ning Zhao and the Spirit Qi he received from the many cultivators born in the eight Dragon Gates, Lu Fan's Spirit Qi finally reached 1,000 wisps.
["A high-rise building needs a solid foundation. Congratulations, Host. You have achieved Refined Qi Level 3. Your Spirit Qi stock has reached 1,000 wisps. Phoenix Feather Sword and ten seeds of random species of Spirit Weeds awarded."]
["Host has achieved Refined Qi Level 3. Spirit Qi Deployment range expanded, self-recovery ability strengthened (Spirit Qi, Soul Strength, and Physique Strength), and the method of manufacturing Spirit Stone awarded."]
The system prompts kept scrolling down before Lu Fan.
The prompts were about the prizes Lu Fan received.
Lu Fan was pretty satisfied with the prizes he got this time. He was even a little pleasantly surprised.
He threw a careless glance at the prizes. Spirit Qi Deployment range expanded and self-recovery ability strengthened—these two were enough to evoke excitement in Lu Fan.
His Spirit Qi Deployment range had covered more than half of Great Zhou's territory.
And now, it had been expanded again… Would it go beyond the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Lu Fan would try it when he had the time.
The benefits of a strengthened self-recovery ability were beyond doubt.
But what made Lu Fan most pleasantly surprised was the method of manufacturing Spirit Stone.
The appearance of large numbers of Spirit Stones would shock the world. The circumstances for cultivation would also be changed entirely.
Spirit Stones functioned similarly to the warriors in Secret Realms that Lu Fan created, but there were no killings or life-or-death situations involved. In fact, cultivators could easily take in wisps of Spirit Qi from these stones.
The efficiency of training cultivators would also be improved.
That was what Lu Fan valued.
The more cultivators were born, the more wisps of Spirit Qi Lu Fan would get, and the faster he would refine Qi.
It would not be a dream anymore to refine 100 levels of Qi.
He contained his excitement.
Lu Fan opened his eyes.
It was late in the night. The wind was a little chilly.
Leaning against the Thousand Blades Chair, he calmed down little by little.
His Soul Strength reached 85 points. Because of that, he felt his mind was clearer and more powerful.
However, Lu Fan felt like he was stuck.
"There could be a quantum leap in Soul Strength… Maybe 100 points will lead to a quantum leap," Lu Fan said in a low voice.
His fingers were tapping on the armrest of the Thousand Blades Chair.
He figured he should speed up the refining of Soul Strength.
He could try to set up the second strategy in the Heavenly Go Manual.
"Phoenix Feather Sword?"
Lu Fan's eyes narrowed.
The prize he got for reaching Refined Qi Level 2 was the Spirit Pressure Chessboard. And now that he had reached Refined Qi Level 3, the prize was a Phoenix Feather Sword.
Buzz…
He shifted his consciousness.
An extremely mysterious force that seemed to involve the laws spread throughout.
The great Dao was roaring.
The void was being torn apart.
A dark opening appeared with a dreadful power. A loud phoenix chime came out of the opening.
A long red sword was floating before Lu Fan.
"The sword is called Phoenix Feather."
An airflow caused by a Spirit Pressure stirred Lu Fan's hair.
Lu Fan's eyes were very bright, with the sword reflected in them.
The sword did not have a handle. It looked like a phoenix's tail feather, and it released extremely dreadful energy.
"Interesting. Does this go with my Thousand Blades Chair?"
A light flashed in Lu Fan's eyes.
["Phoenix Feather Sword (defective): Heaven Level High Grade Spirit Tool, made of phoenix's tail feather."]
The introduction of Phoenix Feather Sword evoked more interest in Lu Fan. This Phoenix Feather Sword turned out to be defective.
A defective sword was already of Heaven Level and High Grade. If it were complete, would it reach Ground Level?
The new prize made Lu Fan wonder what on earth was behind the system.
However, with his current strength, he certainly would not be able to know what was behind the system.
He always said it was fun to fight the Immortal. It did make some sense. In Lu Fan's eyes, the system was just like an Immortal.
Lu Fan looked at the red Phoenix Feather Sword and then waved his hand gently.
A red light flashed by. Descending on the right armrest of the Thousand Blades Chair, the red light pushed the silver blades on the armrest aside.
The silver blades Lu Fan refined were only Earth Level Low Grade. They certainly were not a match for Phoenix Feather Sword, so they had to concede.
Lu Fan put his hand on the red armrest. He felt the Thousand Blades Chair had been totally changed.
The Phoenix Feather Sword seemed to have become the leader of the 1,000 blades that comprised the Thousand Blades Chair.
Lu Fan breathed out.
He fixed his eyes on another prize, seeds of random species of Spirit Weeds.
Lu Fan still remembered how the ten Heaven Facing Spiritual Chrysanthemums made the Spirit Qi on Lake Island nourishing.
And now, he had new plant seeds.
He raised his hand to hold.
Then he spread his hand. A green seed called Biluo Peach Blossom lay still on the palm of his hand.
"Peach blossoms…"
"The peach blossoms on the island died not long ago. Now I have these seeds."
"Well, only having chrysanthemums on the island does look a little ugly. The peach blossoms will add some flavor to the island."
Lu Fan smiled.
He shifted his consciousness.
Instantly, ten seeds floated before Lu Fan.
He raised his other hand. The long sleeve of his white robe slipped down. He flicked the ten seeds gently with his long fingers.
The ten seeds flew out immediately in the shape of flowing light.
There were chrysanthemums on one half of the island, while peach blossoms on the other half.
Those peach blossom seeds have been sowed.
They broke through the soil right away. Madly taking in Spirit Qi, they started to grow. Taking root in the soil, their branches extended, and green leaves grew out.
One by one, the buds popped out on the branches, waiting to bloom.
In an instant, the Spirit Qi on Beiluo Lake Island became richer and more nourishing.
******
South County.
At daybreak…
Tang Xiansheng had changed into some luxurious clothing and got onto his luxurious carriage.
"Yimo, do you want to accompany your father to the capital city?"
Tang Xiansheng looked at Tang Yimo with affection.
Tang Yimo was wearing a poker face. Tang Xiansheng's intention was obvious. He wanted Tang Yimo to go with him because he needed the latter to ensure his safety.
However, Tang Yimo did not reject his father's request.
Tang Xiansheng told some maids to send many satins and silks and valuable jewelry to his mother and his sister.
Tang Xiansheng even went to his mother's room to talk with her.
Tang Yimo, lying on the roof with a weed in his mouth, saw how happy his mother and his sister were.
That was why he agreed to go to the capital city with Tang Xiansheng.
"Okay," Tang Yimo said.
Tang Xiansheng was pleased.
Tang Baiyun cupped his hands at Tang Xiansheng with respect.
"Yun'er, put effort into expanding the South Manor Army. When I come back from the capital city, I hope the South Manor Army will grow to 100 soldiers."
Tang Xiansheng told Tang Baiyun.
Tang Baiyun nodded and then bowed.
Tang Xiansheng did not say more. He told his servants to prepare his luggage. Then he told the coachman to set out for the capital city.
Tang Yimo was riding a red horse next to the carriage.
South County Mayor Tang Xiansheng went to the capital city in person.
This news spread far and wide as soon as he left Nanjiang City.
Tang Xiansheng was famous for being too afraid of death.
However, Tang Xiansheng went to the capital city in person. Although he had never accused the Imperial Advisor in public, some of his actions actually echoed that of West County.
Once he went to the capital city, if the young emperor imprisoned him brutally, Tang Xiansheng would be half dead.
After all, the capital city was not under Tang Xiansheng's influence.
Therefore, many people did not understand this move of his.
However, some people smelled danger.
Tang Xiansheng might have gone to the capital city to deal with West County and North County…
South County had never meddled in the wars between Great Zhou and West County and North County. But now, South County was finally going to participate.


A young man sat on a chair and looked out at the ocean. With one wisp of Spirit Qi, he could point anywhere on this vast and expansive world, pointing at any place that didn’t look right.
Someone once became the last one to wield a knife that could decapitate huge dragons and bathed in dragons’ blood. Someone once loved treating others to chicken soup, so he kept nine phoenixes in his backyard. Someone once sat lazily on the top of mountains as his words flooded river banks, and his qi could hold a million soldiers back. Someone once moved mountains and shifted hills with just one brush, his paintings so captivating it could enchant immortals and deities. That year, the warmth of spring made the flowers bloom. They were merely an ordinary butcher, a bookworm, a chicken farmer and a poor artist. This is the story of how a Low Level Martial World Continent was transformed into the Ultimate Fantasy Universe. 


Zhang Guan looked at the golden icon in the system. Judging from this skill description, this is a magic skill. Increasing the recovery speed and recovery level of tissue damage can be regarded as an extremely abnormal plug-in.

For this skill, Zhang Guan has been waiting from September last year until now, and it took more than ten months to complete this task and obtain this skill. Zhang Guan felt a sense of relief at this moment.

While Zhang Guan was still glad that he had completed the task, a new task appeared again.

"As an athlete, physical fitness and competitive status are very important. Through the system, you can check your physical condition and competitive status."

After the system prompts, a single red and blue bar appeared above the system

"What's this, blood bar and magic bar? What's the matter? Will it kill me if there's no blood?" Zhang Guan immediately looked over and found that the red bar represents the physical condition, and the blue bar is the competitive state.

[Physical Fitness]: 68/100

After all, Zhang Guan has just participated in a race, and his physical fitness must be consumed, so his physical fitness should not be full at this time.

The full grid of the competitive state is also out of 100, and Zhang Guan now show:

[Competitive State]: 51/100

Related prompts appeared immediately.

"Physical fitness can be restored by rest, and the recovery status is also directly linked to the rest situation. For example, a sleep will restore more physical energy than a sitting; encountering a harsh competition environment will also increase the speed of physical energy consumption, such as a competition in a hot environment will consume more physical energy than normal temperature; the normal physical condition is 80, if the physical energy exceeds 80, it will enter a state of physical fitness, strength and speed will increase; physical state 60 to 80 can be normal activities; physical state of 40 to 60 will enter the tired state, while the physical state of 20 to 40 will enter the fatigue state; the physical state of 0 to 20 will affect normal actions; if the physical state is 0, you will lose consciousness and enter the state of shock, commonly known as' tired dizzy.

"The competitive state requires the athlete to improve according to the actual situation. The competitive state has to be higher than 80 for the hyperactive state, which can be considered super-level during the race; the competitive state between 60 to 80can be used normally during the race; While uncompensated mistakes will often occur in the competitive state from 20 to 40; when the competitive state is less than 20, all skill effects will begin to decrease; when the competitive state is 0, all skill effects are invalid. "

Zhang Guan immediately understood that his current competitive state is only 51, which is in a state of abnormal play. He must improve the competitive state to more than 60 to run his normal level in the competition.

The system immediately popped up the next dialog box.

"Do you want a way to quickly improve physical fitness and competitive status?"

Zhang Guan felt that this sentence gave him a very familiar feeling as if many advertisements had similar slogans. But then he immediately thought that the system's tone is a prelude to the promotion of goods.

"Of course, there are ways to quickly improve physical fitness and competitive status. You can restore your physical fitness and competitive status through the system by exchanging physical recovery potions and status recovery potions."

[Mission Task]: restore your physical condition and competitive status to 100.

After the system prompts, a shop icon appears in the system.

"Sure enough! There are even game malls! I knew that the sentence was just for selling things. And it was still a task. It seems that this is forcing you to buy that health recovery potion and state recovery potion. This is not the setting of the Qian Online Game... Forget it, let's see how to buy these two potions first! "Zhang Guan secretly said.

Zhang Guan immediately entered the store and found that eight items in the store can be purchased.

[Small physical recovery potions]: 10 physical recovery points, 10 for one skill point!

[Medium physical recovery potions]: 20 physical recovery point, 6 for one skill point!

 "In this way, a small skill point can restore 100 points from a small potion. Buying Chinese herbal medicine can also restore 120 points. Buying Chinese herbal medicine is more cost-effective. Isn't it more cost-effective? "

Zhang Guan then looked down.

[General health recovery potions] 50 physical recovery points, buy 3 for one skill point! 

"So one skill point can recover 150 physical strength, which is more cost-effective than the previous two. Looking at the following, the general physical recovery potion set, buy 10 for three skill points, and buy 10 get 1 free, which is equivalent to spending 3 skill points to buy 11, which can restore 550 points, which is equivalent to using one skill point to restore 183 points, this seems to be the best value! "

The other column sells potions of state restoration.

[Small state recovery potion]: recovery state 5 points!

[Medium state recovery potion]: recovery state 10 points!

[Large state recovery potion]: recovery state 25 points!

[SALE]: "The big state recovery potion set, three skill points 10, buy 10 get 1 free!"

"Why does the small potion recover so little, one skill point to buy 10, the price is the same, but the effect is only half of the physical potion. The medium state recovery potion is also a hospital, recovery state 10 points, one skill point can buy 6. while the big state recovery potion can restore 25 points, one skill point can also buy 3. 

Zhang Guan calculated a little, and buying a big potion set is the most cost-effective, but the price of up to three skill points makes Zhang Guan very hesitant. Also, the effect of the state restoration potion is only half of the physical restoration potion. Zhang Guan speculates that this is probably because it is easier to restore physical fitness than the restoration state, so the physical restoration potion is cheaper than the state restoration potion.

According to Zhang Guan's understanding of general online games, consumable items are the most expensive items in the game. Nowadays, consumable items also appear in the system of all-round athletes, so the demand for skill points will inevitably rapidly increase.

...

After the award ceremony, Zhang Guan gained two more skill points.

This competition is not only the National Athletics Grand Prix, but also the China Athletics Open, so Zhang Guan won two championships in one competition, and therefore also won the honorary awards of two national championships, and received two skill points.

In addition to the remaining skill points from before, Zhang Guan now has three skill points. However, Zhang Guan did not rush to complete the task to fill up the state. Good steel should be used on the blade. Instead of completing the task now, it is better to wait until the competition to fill up the state at that time. You can complete the task and get one good grade. Besides, Zhang Guan is reluctant to spend precious skill points to buy potions.

The next day, the news that Zhang Guan broke the Asian record again quickly spread throughout the country. The sports team immediately sent a congratulatory message and hoped that Zhang Guan could continue to maintain and bring a good state to the Olympic Games. Also, the association rewarded Zhang Guan with another 300,000 yuan.

...

The Olympic Games is undoubtedly a gluttonous feast for spinach companies worldwide.

Ladbrokes Group is the world's largest gambling company, and its odds can reflect the level of the team or athlete. The reference value of the ranking should be more interesting than the analysis of major news agencies. At the same time, Ladbrokes' information collection and data analysis are also the most advanced in the world. Among the more than 60,000 employees of Ladbrokes, except for the betting station staff and basic administrative logistics staff, the rest are information collectors and data analysis engineer.

Liu Feiren is undoubtedly the most beautiful national player on the track and field event. Ladbrokes gave him a 1 to 3 winning odds, second only to the 1.57 odds of American veteran Alan Johnson, and ranked second.

Compared with the 110-meter hurdles project, the 100-meter trapeze battle is undoubtedly more eye-catching. Among the athletes participating in the 100-meter war in this Olympic Games, all of the athletes were Olympic A-level athletes, Ladbrokes also has given the corresponding odds.

Zhang Guan is naturally one of them.

On the day the game ended, the news that Zhang Guan once again broke the Asian 100m record has reached Ladbrokes' data analyst.

Williams, the director of data analysis for the Olympic track and field events, came out of his office and said to the staff in the partition outside: "Gentlemen, I just received the news that the Asian record for men's 100 meters was once again refreshed. The new record is set by the Chinese Zhang, who is 0.01 seconds faster than last year. "

"Asian record, how much is that?" Someone immediately queried on the computer, and then said: "Only 9.99 seconds, even if it is 0.01 seconds faster, it is only 9.98 seconds. Boss, shall we change the odds?"

"A result of 9.98 seconds is possible to reach the Olympic finals, but it is impossible to win a medal." Williams then asked: "What are the odds for Zhang to enter the finals now?"

"Yes 1: 4!" Someone answered immediately.

"Change it to 1: 3. If more people buy, you can reduce it properly. We can't lose money. Also, cancel his odds of entering the semifinals." Williams said.

"What about medal odds and championship odds?" A young man asked.

"Oh, my God! Little Tommy, are you kidding me? Do you think the Chinese can win the Olympic 100-meter sprint? Even the champion?" Williams laughed as he said.

"Okay, Tommy, although the result of 9.98 seconds is not bad, it is still far from the Olympic champion. You still have to pay close attention to the odds of Jamaican Powell..."

In the Olympic Games, the men's 100-meter sprint event if you can reach within 10 seconds, it becomes safer to enter the final. If the result is running more than 10 seconds, you have to depend on luck to enter the final.

If you want to enter the semifinals steadily, you probably need to run out of 10.10 seconds. If you run out of 10.15 seconds, you can enter the semifinals as long as your luck is not too bad. If you go beyond 10.15 seconds, you also have to get into the semifinals with luck.

Zhang Guan ran within 10 seconds twice in a month, so according to the prediction of the gambling company, Zhang Guan should have no problem running within 10.15 seconds in the Olympic Games. If he runs well, he can run into the final in 10 seconds.

As Ladbrokes adjusted the odds for Zhang Guan to enter the final, other gambling companies in Europe also quickly followed up and lowered the odds for Zhang Guan to enter the final. As for Zhang Guan's winning odds, there is no slight change. No one thinks that Zhang Guan can win the Olympics.

This is not my original work, I just wanted to continue this novel so I’m translating it on my own free time. Please Enjoy

He pulled up his stats with a thought, and quite a few of the information on  the A.I. Chip’s screen was refreshed.  [Beep! Discovered high-grade cell structure. Simulating… Host has absorbed  large amounts of life energy. Vitality increasing!] [Beep! Host’s soul has been  strengthened. Spiritual force crossed bottleneck, reached Half Moon!] [Beep!  Host’s stats have changed. Regathering info…] It was after these messages that the A.I. Chip showed Leylin’s new stats.  [Leylin Farlier, Rank 5 Warlock. Bloodline: Kemoyin Emperor (Complete form).  Strength: 76, Agility: 62, Vitality: 176.9, Spiritual force: 2003.5, Magic  power: 2003 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force). Soul  force: 200, Half Moon.] Leylin had long since expected a rise in soul force, but the huge increase in  vitality gave him a great surprise. 

With a treasure like the phoenix egg, raising his soul force wasn’t an issue.  It was just that his body couldn’t keep up. 

It was funny now that he thought about it. Most Warlocks’ vitalities surpassed  the growth of their spiritual force, but he was different. He progressed much  too quickly, to the point that his spiritual force advanced by leaps and bounds  and left his vitality far in the dust. 

‘A Half Moon truesoul, and such soul force!’ Leylin focused on his point mass.  His truesoul was perfectly round as before, but the cold light of his soul  force already occupied over half of it. ‘A truesoul like this is very powerful,  but in comparison to a rank 6 Magus, it’s quite lacking…’ 

Leylin sighed, thinking back to the truesoul of the Blazing Flame Monarch that  was like a scorching sun. The soul force seemed to have solidified. A truesoul  like this could be said to have reached a peak, and could exist for a long time  even without the Magus’ body. 

Soon after, he couldn’t help but burst out in laughter, finding himself too  greedy. The path of a Magus was one of accumulation. Not only was the Blazing  Flame Monarch of a higher rank than he was, she had spent tens or even hundreds  of times longer than he had on searching for the truth. He was confident that,  once he reached Breaking Dawn, his truesoul would not be second to hers. 

“And this…” Leylin began to check all his profits. He’d been assigned many  treasures from the attack on Düz City, a portion of the holdings a rank 6  organisation had amassed over time. Whether Morning Stars or even Radiant  Moons, everyone would go green in envy at such wealth. 

And yet, these things were all additional items to Leylin, not something he  paid much attention to. What he was more interested in was the information  recorded in the A.I. Chip. 

“Soul splitting technique?” Leylin glanced through a document in the A.I. Chip  while muttering to himself. He’d gotten this terrifying technique that could  split apart a Magus’ truesoul when he’d taken advantage of Melinda earlier. 

This technique could separate a truesoul into two parts, forming individual  bodies that could think for themselves. It could also be used to discard  unnecessary emotions or memories from the main body of a Magus, an  extraordinary effect. 

“Sometimes, psychological issues can be a hindrance to the advancement of a  Magus. This technique is even better for Warlocks. Perhaps Offa and the others  would be more than willing to take out all their wealth in exchange for this…” 

Leylin stroked his chin. After obtaining this truesoul splitting technique,  they could strip off the berserk emotions from their bloodline instability by  placing it in another soul. To some extent, this was a way to completely cure  the Warlocks’ bloodline instability. A rational Warlock still retained their  advantages but had no weak points. It was a terrifying thought, but it had one  small issue. 

After the truesoul was split into two the separated soul was, in some way, an  individual body of its own. It could even become like Melinda, forming a will  of its own and becoming hostile towards the original Magus. 

However, because they had originally been one body, Magi could not just  destroy this parted soul, or else their truesoul would be affected. They could  only choose to banish the soul or suppress it, which would leave a danger lying  around. 

‘Whatever it is, this technique is very valuable. If not for that being an  emergency, Melinda probably wouldn’t have given this to me…’ Leylin thought  about Melinda. The female Magus had initially been one with the Blazing Flame  Monarch, but there seemed to have been some issues when splitting the truesoul  which led to her returning for revenge. 

‘She’s lost part of her energy and bloodline, and is also facing issues from  the cracked soul which haven’t been solved yet. It’ll be difficult for her to  recover to her original strength…’ Leylin’s eyes flickered. 

This was a situation he had intentionally created. The conscient of the  original Flame Monarch was done for, and Melinda had to heal the wounds to her  body and soul. None of these were easy tasks. It would be a miracle if she  could even remain at rank 6. 

Leylin thus concluded that the Blazing Flame Monarch’s organisation would die  down for a very long time. After gaining control of the body, Melinda wouldn’t  be the same as the Monarch was before and it was unknown whether she would come  after him in the future. He’d made the best choice in the situation. 

“A.I. Chip, show me the database on the Blazing Flame Monarch!” Leylin  commanded. Immediately after, a large file was projected in front of Leylin,  the information within an incomplete mess. 

Leylin hadn’t just devoured his opponent’s flesh and blood with his innate  skill. He’d also managed to absorb her memories and her comprehension of laws. 

However, due to a lack of time, the memories he had were incomplete. Yet, they  were good references for the A.I. Chip. 

Leylin’s eyes scanned through these incomplete memory fragments and came to  the deepest ones. The few fragments here were like crystals that gave off a  majestic aura, emitting burning hot rays of light. 

Given that this was how the information was being displayed within the A.I.  Chip’s database, it aroused Leylin’s interest.  [Beep! Comprehension of the laws of fire incomplete. Unable to scan and  present as data, host needs to perform a soul force probe.] The A.I. Chip’s  explanation rendered him speechless. 

This was the bit on the comprehension of laws that the A.I. Chip had separated  from the remaining memories in the bloodline Leylin had forcefully obtained.  However, it was currently in a strange state that even the A.I. Chip could not  decipher. 

“This is the issue of having different power systems,” Leylin sighed. 

In his view, the world was one complete existence that had various focuses.  His previous world was one that focused on atomic studies. 

The Magus World, on the other hand, was a world of energy and laws. 

In reality, there was only one real world. Atoms, energy and laws were all  just the same thing viewed from different perspectives. These differences in  perspective allowed Magi and the people of his old world to come up with  different conclusions. 

The A.I. Chip was a result of microscopy, and it could not decrypt things like  the comprehension of laws. It was only something to be expected. 

However, with its continuous upgrades and the establishment of the database on  the soul, the A.I. Chip had made continuous progress. It now accepted the  embodiment of energy and laws. 

Leylin was very confident in the learning abilities of the A.I. Chip. Some  day, it would be able to analyse anything in the universe, becoming the best  tool to search for the truth with. For now, the current ability of the A.I.  Chip to store the comprehension of laws separately already left Leylin  satisfied. 

Though it could not be sent to him, perhaps comprehending laws himself was the  best way to go about it. 

Leylin closed his eyes. Half Moon soul force spread out from his truesoul,  making contact with the scarlet Law Comprehension Crystals. 

*Rumble!* A vast current gushed forth, and Leylin felt like an ordinary being  standing amidst a flash flood in the mountains. 

Terrifying force weighed down on him from all sides, pushing and pulling at  him with immense power. Many different scenes flashed before his eyes without  end, detailing the comprehension the Blazing Flame Monarch had towards the laws  of fire. 

The red fire elemental particles seemed to be magnified a million times over  as they appeared in front of him, their mysteries being unveiled layer by  layer. Never had he felt as close to the fire element before. 

This feeling came and left very quickly. In a few seconds, Leylin regained his  senses from this comprehension.  [Host’s brain waves in a peculiar state. No records in database!] [Beep!  Host’s blood flow rate has increased. Increase in energy wave radiation.]  [Beep! Host’s fire elemental affinity has increased. Aptitude has been slightly  strengthened.] …… 

The A.I. Chip’s new prompts caused a smile to appear on Leylin’s face,  ‘Comprehending the laws of fire can increase soul aptitude on top of increasing  my elemental affinity?’ 

Leylin had never worried about his elemental affinity. His foundations were  not half bad, and he’d never misstepped. Through the advancements in and  strengthening of his bloodline, his control over darkness and fire exceeded  that of most Radiant Moons. 

However, his original soul aptitude was only at grade 3. Compared to grades 4  and 5, or even special geniuses, he still had a ways to go. His few  advancements had only pushed him to the peak of grade 3. 



Leylin is transported from an advanced technological era into a medieval world— except there’s magic. Equipped with only his quick wits and an A.I. chip fused to his soul, he sets out to become the most powerful magus the world has ever known. In a land divided into the Light and Dark Magi, the weak can either be cattle or disposable slaves. Only the strong can determine their lives, and only they have the luxury for virtue. Yet strength is only a tool for Leylin, like any other. His goal, in the end, is his own.

An awesome MC — that’s what happens!

A scientist’s goal is to explore the secrets of the universe, and this is exactly what Leylin sets out to do when he is reincarnated. Dark, cold and calculating, he makes use of all his resources as he sets off on his adventures to meet his goal.

Face? Who needs that… Hmmm… that guy seems too powerful for me to take on now… I better keep a low profile for now.

You want me to help you? Sure… but what benefit can I get out of it? Nothing? Bye. 

Hmmm… that guy looks like he might cause me problems in the future. Should I let him off for now and let him grow into someone that can threaten me….. Nahhh. *kill*

At the sudden barrage of questions, Lily calmly says, "Calm down, calm down… I'll answer all your questions as of right now. Earlier, you had cleared the Startup Quest, which prompts more information to be released to you. First of all, in this world, other than different professions, there are also cultivators. Cultivation is essential in this world, even if you were to become something like an artist. There are just some things that you can't accomplish if you are lacking in True Energy! Think of it kind of like electricity! It powers things."
"The Mind Tempering Sub-realm is as its name states. It's a sub-realm within the Body Tempering Realm. The Body Tempering Realm is one of the 3 major realms. Within it are 5 different sub-realms, the Skin Tempering Sub-realm, the Bone Tempering Sub-realm, the Eye Tempering Sub-realm, the Mind Tempering Sub-realm and finally, the Heart Tempering Sub-realm. This realm is to build up the foundation of the body in preparation for the second Realm.���
As LIly spoke, Lin Ke had started wandering through the city. There were only a few parts of the city that were densely populated with many people walking through the streets, some other areas of the city were less packed, but only had houses upon houses. 
Lily continues, "There are 2 other Major realms, the Soul Cultivation Realm as well as the Mortal Ascension Realm, but the information for those realms is beyond your reach right now."
Lin Ke thinks back to Master Sal. He had been giving off the vibe that he was some kind of master. "So what Realm is Master Sal in?"
Lily thinks for a moment. "Err. I didn't pay attention to him…" She says sheepishly.
Lin Ke is speechless. "How can you not pay attention in that situation? How…"
Lily tries to defend herself. "Hey! It's not my fault! You were the one who threw me to that stupid little girl who doesn't know how to treat a cute little creature like me! I knew she would be rough! I could see it in her eyes!"
Lin Ke, trying to gain back the advantage in the conversation, switches the topic. "Alright, then what's my prize for completing the mission?"
"Ehem." Lily clears her throat and from out of nowhere pulls out a pair of glasses and puts in on. Then she pulls out a sheet of paper and begins to read. "Congratulations Host, for finishing the Startup Mission: Embark on the Road to Glory. Mission Rewards are the following: 500 Low-grade Chaos Stones, 1 Mid-grade Chaos Stone, granting of a Bone Tempering Sub-realm cultivation level, along with the opening of your personal spatial storage space. The level 1 spatial storage space offers 4 cubic feet of space. Extra features for the space are purchasable at a price. Would you like the rewards deposited now?"
Lin Ke's eyes brighten. 'Those are some good rewards! I get cultivation levels for free? That's amazing! That means I don't have to waste time cultivating myself! Plus I get so many Chaos Stones too! I was downright broke a few moments ago! Not to mention the spatial storage space thing. Sounds pretty neat.'
"Yes, give me them now."
Lily crumbles up the paper and says, "You have claimed the reward for the Startup mission. Your Chaos Stones have been deposited in the spatial storage space. Apply cultivation level now." She gives him an odd smile. "Good luck! Hang on, it'll only take a moment!"
Lin Ke's vision darkens for a moment, everything fading away, the street he was walking on and faded out of his sight.The only thing he could see was pitch darkness. Suddenly, a few words appeared in front of his eyes. It said, "Startup Process Beginning…"

Preparations Complete… Will Host please prepare himself.

Starting Countdown. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5…

Lin Ke gets a very bad feeling. 'What did Lily mean when she said to hang on? Why is this telling me to prepare myself?'

3, 2, 1… Beginning Process.

Suddenly, he felt sharp stabbing pain all over his body. It was also if lightning had zapped him from the heavens. His skin felt all tingly and itchy. However, he couldn't move his body at all. This lasted for only 5 seconds, but already caused Lin Ke to feel very uncomfortable. 

The Sign changes. "Skin Tempering Sub-realm Cultivation Applied. Applying next realm.'

Lin Ke screams at himself. 'There's more? Why didn't it apply it all at once? What is this torture? How is this a reward? Before he could think anymore, the pain came again. This time, it was a bone deep pain. It felt like his bones were breaking apart at their very seams. Lin Ke could barely think straight.
After what felt like 10 years, his vision finally clears. Lin Ke looks down at his hands. They are perfectly fine, his clothes were also fine. However, Lin Ke realizes something vastly different. He felt a type of strength he had never felt before in his body. He felt a mysterious form of energy flowing through his body, one he had never experienced. It was quite a magical sensation. His skin felt smoother and looked as if it glowed, and his muscles felt full of strength. 
"Hey! Move it kid! Why are you standing in the middle of the street looking up into space? Get out of the way!" An impatient voice yells from behind Lin Ke. This was when Lin Ke realized he was still in the middle of the street.
"Sorry, sorry." Lin Ke quickly apologizes and moves to the side. "Lily, why didn't you warn me about the pain?" He looks at Lily, who was on his shoulder… Not on his shoulder. Lin Ke was bewildered. "Lily? Where'd you go?"

Lin Ke, a famous online artist, suddenly died one day from a rock that flew out of the sky. Turns out, it was a unlucky accident by "God", so as "compensation, decides to give him another chance at life. Together with an obnoxious white cat, he trudges along his own path, to become the best artist possible!
