This is an "extra-ordinary" love-story between a human and a Grim Reaper. HINDI po ito puro KILIG-KILIG lang dahil MALALIM po ang hugot ng plot nito, maraming ganap at maraming characters. Mala-teserye pero ASTIG ang galawan. Kung game ka sa isang KAKAIBA at ROLLER COASTER na experience. PUSH mo na besh! Add mo sa library, DOWNLOAD mo at BASAHIN MO NA, NOW NA!

DISCLAIMER: May mga *SPG* chapters so may "snu snu" (sexual/erotic) content. Kaya pasintabi sa mga minor! This novel is R-18. I don't encourage you to read this. 

Marami din po kayong mababasa na CURSING words. Hindi po ako nagpi-filter. This is a MATURED story, if you're not comfortable with it, I understand but that's part of the narration and one way to express the feelings and voice. 

✔️ Female MC: I highly promote a strong independent woman who knows what she wants in life, with ethical values, loves her family, and most of all GOD-fearing. Although the cliche "damsel in distress" is still in the story because it's part of her character development. (being strong doesn't mean you have to be a bad-ass physically). I had designed my characters unperfect because nobody is perfect but only me! Charot! 

✔️ Male MC: He's a bad boy, abusive, complicated and super POSSESSIVE! Minsan nakakainis, pero madalas siya ay KAKA! 

As in naKAKAkilig, naKAKAtense at naKAKA-wet... sa eyes kasi paiiyakin ka niya. Charot! He's super evil and hard-headed pero bigyan mo lang siya ng chance kase... magaling siya sa kama! WAHAHAH! Ready mo na besh! Everything in his character are intentionally designed because it runs in his blood. You will know more about him in the story.

✔️ INTENSE silang magmahalan kasing intense ng "love scene" at "action scene" so may FOREVER hindi lang sa EDSA! Susuka ka ng rainbow sa saya at kilig! 

✔️ The story possesses a lot of bloody,gruesome & thrilling action scenes. (VIOLENCE) So better prepare yourself. Madugo, ma-aksyon at nakakaloka! Medyo creepy pero pinapangako ko na mag-e-enjoy ka. Maraming SUPERNATURAL beings and I describe them in detailed. Pagaganahin ko ang imaginations mo! Mapapa-gym ng bongang-bonga ang utak. Magkakamuscles at abs ang mga brain cells mo! San ka pa?! PAK! GANERN! 

✔️ The emotions of my characters are very detailed. Prepare your heart because I like you to feel what they feel. I desires to bring you inside their world. (Ganito po ang style ng writing and descriptions ko. I'm very keen on details) I want you to have a GREAT experience so I suggest you hold tight on your seat while reading this. Mag ready ka ng popcorn. Baka di mo mabitawan once masimulan mo. Hehehe

✔️ Strong and deep plot: Maraming TWIST, MYSTERIES, SUSPENSE at TURNS! (With left, right and U-turn) Expect that this story will PLAY with your emotions. Bipolar kasi si Author. LOL

✔️ Maraming readers ang nagsasabi na para daw itong Teleserye, Series or Movie! Mehehehe. I'm very flattered, so thank you, guys! Labyu all! Xoxo

✔️ GOOD GRAMMAR! I'm not saying it's perfect pero maayos at hindi po jejemon basahin. (Ako lang po ang nagpu-proofread at wala akong professional editor) Because I believe in the saying that a quality story has quality grammar. I, thank you! Bow!

✔️ May aral na mapupulot so ikaw na bahala mag-assess kung ano ang matutunan mo dito! May exam po at the end of the story so mag-review ka! 100 items, right minus wrong! Passing grade is 85 percent! 

ALL THE STATEMENTS ABOVE ARE BIASED OPINION FROM ME. Syempre, ako ang author nito. LOL. Your appreciation with this novel will still depends on your taste and preference. Iba-iba naman tayo ng gusto at ayaw. So kung magustuhan mo, VERY GOOD! Pero kung hindi naman, okay lang din. I understand, pero PLEASE lang ayoko ng bastos na readers. Nambabara po ako ng bastos!

[That One Class at The End of The Halfway]

The homeroom teacher was once more furious. Her class was doubtlessly the worst of the six eleventh-grade classes. And the most problematic. Most of the teachers who got the responsibility to teach this one class seethed in anger or stressed to the point of near-death. 

Like a den of demons. Or one of the barbarians'. 

Yet in the midst of the chaos, there was an absolute angel residing there with the demons. Ironically, the angel was the real demon, while the people in that class were just normal human—

"Don't narrate your story like that. It's weird to listen to it." 

—Although the word 'Ghost' suited him much better. 

"You can't be serious, can you? You're not going to give this as your assignment, are you?" 

"I'm thinking a great way of creating a story. But I got stuck halfway, so I decided to write a fanfic of my ordinary life." YueChen threw his pen to the desk, leaning back on the chair. 

"It's not a fanfic???" 

"Might as well just be."

"..."

The angel had very few friends, one of them was a small-bodied girl named Yun MianTi. This girl was two months younger than YueChen, yet she treated the older boy her little sibling. 

MianTi, wanted to be a psychiatrist, and pursued her dreams. One flaw of hers that didn't fit with their surrounding: a big fujoshi of BL. 

She even watched a number of (papapa) gay movies! 

....

While the only Yang in the class was certainly dirty-minded innocent-looking boy, he never actually touched any of BLs other than books. Giving him a graphic version of forbidden love wouldn't do any good, so Yuan Ji went against any visual (papapa). 

Yang YueChen accidentally taught Yun MianTi a new vocabulary (papapa), MianTi gave him brief information of her movies. 

/"The seme *beep* the uke with a ruler... But got it stuck because he use glue as lube."/

And Dong Shi Shui Shen swore that he could see his vessel's smiling face cracked as though he was an old wall.

Sinful!

Hearing her talk about forbidden loves made Yuan Ji scream and cover his ears. It also made YueChen's ears started to ring again. 


Yuan Ji, "...."

Yuan Ji, "I thought I told you not to say a word about it again..."

[Xiao JiaWen Got A Boyfriend]

She stared at her phone, smirking and giggling, mother by her side. 

"I can't believe it!"

"Try to lure him, he might confess."

And being the usual confused child YueChen always been, he only ignored them.

"God!" They both shrieked in glee.

"He really confessed!"

Oh... Yang JiaWen got a boyfriend. That boy who chased her since elementary school. Now that they're both seventh graders, he managed to get her. 

YueChen nonchalantly flipped his phone, "What are you two fussing around? Being all ecstatic just for a boy." 

JiaWen gave him a cross look, frowning. "Well, Gege, you yourself are single for good. You don't have the right to comment."

"If you count international relationship, I'm not single."

She stuck out her tongue, "Huh! Try get a real girlfriend in your school! You can't do it, right?" 

YueChen only sighed, his sister took it as a sign of defeat. She went back to discuss about the boy with mother. 

YueChen glanced at them, thinking, "Xiao MeiMei a... While you went out to get yourself a boyfriend, I've already scored myself a husband." 

But he kept the thought to only himself.


[What Most Of Us, Fujoshi, Wait For]

Author: Sorry for the disappointment, but I don't think that YueJi would happen (the papapa scenes)

Readers: *gasssppp*

A: Since YueChen is an ace—

R: Nooo!!! We demand the scenes! 

YueChen: Why don't you just write the ball scene for making up?

Yuan Ji: Or the first kiss?

A: But it's canon, in later chaps. The extra is basically trash dump of not-in-the-plot stories. 

YC: ....

YJ: Since YueChen isn't going to be alive next arc... Does that mean that I got a new partner or what?

A: I'm not spoiling any of that.

YJ: Then let me call A-Die for a moment. I'm certain that she's love to have another sandbag to punch or hit with a pan. 

A: Don't you dare.

YC: You killed me.

R: Seconding Yuan Ji

YC: I sound third.

A: Alright! A tiny spoiler! 

Roughly the second chap or the third, Yuan Ji would meet another main character. A low-profile DiYu ruler. You can't expect a graphic papapa scene for the first arc, but YueChen had tried once with Yuan Ji (ended up in being kicked in the stomach because YueChen suddenly lost the urge). With this new MC, Yuan Ji had few *cough**cough*. Guess who bottomed? 

YJ: That's real brief. How helpful.

A: Well, I said tiny spoiler. 

YC: Why do you have to mention that failed attempt???

A: I do what I want. 


Bye for now, but wait for us: There's one more extra.

BL novel! Everything in this novel is fiction!

『You saved me once, I'll repay your kindness...』

Gods exist, so are Ghosts and Demons.


Both the Water Deity and the young 'ghost's life changed after the fall. 

Yuan Ji didn't expect that he'd possess a teenager's body when he was casted out from the heaven for the nth time. Yang YueChen didn't expect a day where he would be having a friend by his side. 

Now the tricky, sharp-witted Deity had to work together with the naive boy to regain his lost memories and ascend to the heaven. 

Who knows, something else also bloomed in their short shared life....

Necropolis of Heart 
Chapter 7

Author's PoV 

The next day in school 
Morning 6:30 a.m.
[(A/N): - It is the school which I go to. It's in my locality of Mira Road, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.]
As Anna entered the school, she looked up to see the large school logo board that read in big bold letters 'R. B. K. School', owned by the Kanakians. She had only one thought in her mind. How is Ma. 
[(A/N): - In India, we have many names for mother like Ma, Mummy, Mom, etc.]


As she entered, she looked at her watch. It read 6:30 a.m. There were 7 more hours she had to spend before she could pay a visit to her mother. Her first class was advanced Math. Believe me, math in 12th grade was a really difficult thing. But with her mind, even a primary student could do the most difficult question in the 12th  grade maths book. She was a genius. She was a multitalented being, lacking nothing but luck. Luck had decided to play a trick with her. 

Anna's PoV 

Oh! How I wish we had a free period. Our math teacher, Miss Susan, wiped out my mind, leaving a brain wash condition in our class. However, with my luck, that could not be possible. I decided to bunk the class, as it is I won't be able to pay any attention to whatever Miss Susan was going all about. As if paying attention would do me any good. That thought made me scoff. 

After a whole lot of long, uselessly spent 7 hours, the school finally ended. I decided to go home to freshen up a bit then meet Yuvi. After that I'd go to visit Ma. 

I quickly took a bus from the bus stop near my school and got to my destination. The bust stop near school is one minute on foot and to the one near my home, it was a five minutes walk. Once I reached home, I noticed that the house was a complete mess. Great. JUST GREAT. Now I have two things to clear. One, my room and another, my mind. There was too much on my mind so I decided to read until I sleep after coming back from the hospital. 

I look at the calendar hanging from my kitchen wall. It read 27th of June. It was just one day since Ma was in coma. I just wished that the three months passed by soon enough for me to not notice. But then again, with my luck, it was just something I could never ask for. 

I just realised that I did not have an extremely important thing with me. Money. Money has a way to take things unto itself. I thought remembering the line from our English Literature chapter 'Hearts and Hand' by O. Henry. He was one of my favourite writers. I had read his works in my school academic English Literature books. 

I did not earn money and did not have Ma's account information to take money from mom. There was only one thing I could do. Look for place that gave work to a 17 year old, unqualified girl. That was near to impossible since I was still hadn't graduated, but I guess my 10th Board certificate could probably do me some good. 

I looked at my wristwatch. It was 3:00 p.m. already. I decided to go to Yuvi's place. 

Since I was already late and missed my bus, I took a rickshaw to get to her house which was a good 4 miles away from mine. I only had 3000 rupees in hand. The rest was in my joint account with mom. Since I was still a minor, I couldn't access to the money in it, whatsoever the reason might be. That had really ticked me off. Now I had to spend my money extra cautiously so that I wouldn't run out of it before getting a part-time job. I could always ask Yuvi for some money but it never really felt right to do so. She was already going out of her way to help me with the conditions in hand. I could not rely on her anymore or I'll be vulnerable. Again. 

With time ticking by as I sat in the rickshaw, wind blew all over my face making me realise how tired I actually was. I wasn't able to get a wink of sleep last night with all the thoughts of Ma, money and as my past and it's thoughts haunted me. I did not want to go back to my old self again. But if I was forced to, if I didn't have any other choice but to go back to the past to save my mother, I won't hesitate to do so. Even if it meant making me feel like a body that doesn't have a soul. Or should I say... 
a heart. 
**********
So? What do you think? What is the past that Anna's had that she never wants to return to? Any guesses?
Shout-out to all those who read but don't vote nor comment. Please do alright. My whole life depends upon this. 
Wait. What? No, not life definitely but yeah, surely my happiness does. Please comment on how you like the story so far.

{Earlier known as Necropolis of Heart}
"You are not going back to the old ways, are you?" Asked she. 
"...maybe" I whispered. 
----------
A girl who lived her whole life trying to hide and run away from reality. 
What will happen when she faces it?
What will happen when she is told about a secret powerful enough to destroy thousands and more people?
What will happen when a secret, if not revealed- able to destroy the world- is kept hidden, with only her knowing what it is?
What will happen when a secret is revealed, which no one knows, except for those who have either seen it...
or experienced it. 

Read to learn about the harsh reality of a girl's life. 

Did I say life? I take it back. It is rather a hell on earth.

Who says she doesn't get hurt? She just doesn't show. 
Who says she isn't ever in pain? They just don't know.

—————

For those who might be confused about the original one and the recreated one, please read this one as I am the author of the original book but some problems occurred and because of that, I will be uploading here on my new user. All new chapters will be uploaded on “Necropolis of Heart”. 

This is my first attempt at writing a book so hope you readers like it. Votes, reviews and comments will be much appreciated.

TLDR: I will be taking a break from the eighth to the thirteenth of May. It's a shorter break than usual since the book is quite short. So yeah, see you in five days. 

Yoyoyo! Pondayo! How have you all been! I've been doing great, thank you very much!

Alright, first things first, the reason why this book is short is because of the contents of the story. I only wanted to write something about the Summit, since it was such an integral part of the overall storyline. The joining of the three superpowers and the rise of the Black Masks signifies the second act of Spirit Immortal. Furthermore, it has finally set the tone for future books where the Black Masks gets to take centre stage, instead of academy rivals or competition between nations. 

There's one vital aspect of Book 7 that I wanted to get across to you guys though. And that is the existence of Lukman. When Shin first awakened his innate spiritual ability, the power to create and manipulate water, it was set that he would learn from a sand-wielding counterpart in a later book. That's why Shin hasn't been experimenting with his first spiritual ability for all this time. He just wasn't shown the way just yet. Of course, that's all going to change, and in Book 8, I finally get to write him as the badass that I'd always imagined he'll be. 

So don't worry, the pace of the story will speed up now. I know I've made that promise many times before, but this time, it really is the case. Everything will now revolve around Shin's potential and strengthening as a character. 

Also, Shin's meeting with Longyu Tian and the Luminaries from the Lantis Republic. That was a key focal point of the book that I've wanted to highlight. I'm sure many of you have guessed it by now, in fact, some had already figured it out since he awakened the Sovereign Koi, but Shin's Spirit isn't as innocent as it seems… Stay tuned to find out!

Oh, and Book 7 is also a homage to many Wuxia shows/comic books that I'd read/watched growing up. The most obvious one would be Jin Yong's books and a comic book that my uncle follows and reads to me sometimes, 'Oriental Heroes.' Also known as, Long Hu Men or Dragon Tiger Gate. I'm not sure if any of you had caught on, so I'll explain it one by one. 

The first one would be the names of the five main Master Sects of the Kori Federation. Dragon Tiger Gate, Shaolin Temple, Emei Church. These three were homages to the Wuxia background that I've read, while the other two, Khan Tribe and Dalgeom Sect, are mostly my own creations. Yes, yes, Khan is part of the Mongolian lore, but let's not get into that just yet. There's bigger fish to fry.

In many popular Wuxia fictions, the Shaolin Sect and Emei Sect were two prominent organisations. Shaolin Sect always had upright and moral men, while the Emei Sect only admitted women into their ranks. The martial arts that they used, like Brahmadhvaja Kittichat, are mostly taken from the fictions that I've read. For instance, Golden Bell Shield, Varja Body and the Iron Shirt technique are all Shaolin Sect's martial arts.

Lorian Yang's Yang Sun Spirit is actually a play on Xiao Hu from 'Oriental Heroes' and Xiao Hu's Jiu Yang Shen Gong, which literally translates to Nine Suns Divine Technique. Just like Xiao Hu, Lorian Yang creates nine suns around him, which gives him superhuman strength, regeneration and 'Qi.'

So I tried playing around with the Wuxia techniques that I know and were in awe in and placed them into this novel. Hoped you enjoyed them! Yes, yes. I know I hadn't added in popular martial arts like the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Yijingjing, the Palm of Buddha and so on and so forth. But honestly, do you guys really want to read a never-ending tournament where Luminaries from each nation showcased all of their moves? The whole point of the tournament was to create an atmosphere where Shin and Lukman could spar so that Shin could learn how to manipulate water from him! 

Alright, I'm so pumped up to continue writing Book 8! Let me spoil something for you. The ending of Book 8 was something that I've planned long ago. Even before I came up with the name Spirit Immortal or when I conceived of Shin and Ariel! How, you ask? Why don't you read and find out?

See you in the next book!

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

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

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

11:45 am.

Nathan and the young man arrived at the Village Hall.

It was a two-story building made up of wood and stone.

'His stats seem to be average…'

On their way here, Nathan was observing the young man. 

One of the things he did was increase his speed only a little bit -- he didn't want to tear his sacks and end up wasting precious time picking the nuclei. 

Nevertheless, it showed that the young man moved like a normal human.

'But I can't be sure yet. After all, some of them are capable of creating things using the nuclei…'

"This is the Village Hall. Come," said the young man as he made his way to the entrance.

Nathan followed suit.

"By the way, you're really strong. Despite having carrying those things, you can still move normally and fast. If I had even half of your strength, I would leave this village and travel around the world or perhaps even participate in the Holy Night Ceremony as well."

'Travel around the world? I wonder what type of monsters or magical beings outside of this village. Also, he would participate in the Holy Night Festival? Does that mean it's safe? But thinking about what happened earlier…' Nathan thought. "It's nothing --"

"There's one more traveling mercenary left?" It was a woman's voice.

"G-Good evening, Priestess," said the young man as he quickly offered a bow and his cheeks blushed.

'Priestess?' Nathan looked at the woman referred to as Priestess.

It was a beautiful and pure-looking Caucasian woman with red hair and eyes and looked like she was still about 16 years old. 

She was wearing a crown made of white flowers, a long white robe that covered her entire body and touched the ground with intricate golden symbols and patterns embroiled on it, and gold pieces of jewelry. 

Some of the symbols Nathan couldn't make out of, while the others represented the shape of leaves and feathers.

"You should thank God that I was ordered by the High Priestess to return here and pick something up. No one is left here inside the Village Hall. Everyone, the Village Chief, the other priestesses and elders, all went to the Holy Temple to conduct the ceremony. Follow me right away for the marking."

"Wait. What --" Nathan was about to ask some questions regarding the ceremony but after thinking about the warning from the System earlier, he decided not to and just followed the woman to one of the rooms. 

"I'll just wait here," said the young man and waited at the hall.

Nathan was brought to this spacious room. In the middle, there was a white orb sitting on top of the pedestal that was about 4ft high.

"Place your hand on the orb."

Nathan put down the two large sacks of nuclei on his left hand touched the white orb.

The moment he touched the white orb, it shined brightly with this blinding golden light. 

He also felt this intense burn on the back of his hand.

Seeing the golden light, a warm glint flickered on the priestess' eyes.

"Ugh!" Although Nathan was stronger compared to non-Chosen humans, especially for those who didn't even increase their level, his sense of pain was still no different from every other human.

He tried to pull his hand away from the orb, but he couldn't.

'What the hell is happening?!' 

The orb continued to shine and the back of his hand continued to burn.

The process lasted about 5 seconds when the light emitted by the orb dimmed down until it returned to its previous state, the burning sensation vanished, and his hand free.

"What the fuck was that?!" Nathan shot an angry gaze at the priestess.

The priestess offered a deep bow.

"Please forgive me, oh powerful one. I didn't know you were a Chosen One."

'These people are aware of Chosen Ones?' Nathan squinted his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"The orb will only emit a golden light if the traveling mercenary is Chosen One. To those who aren't, the orb will emit a white light."

"And what about this?" Nathan pulled out the glove of his left hand and showed the golden mark printed on the back of his hand.

The golden marking was a pentagram of some sort with some strange symbols that Nathan had no idea about.

Truth be told, he felt like an animal being branded for some sacrifice.

"That's a marking from God, showing that He has granted you His divine blessing to enter the portal at the Holy Night Ceremony."

'Blessing?' Nathan scoffed. "What if --" He was about to ask what if he entered the portal without having this mark or what if he refused to enter the portal but was afraid it was against the rules. "Tell me about the rules and where can I trade the nuclei I brought."

The priestess looked at the two large sacks on the floor. One of the reasons why they, the villagers, looked forward to the Holy Night Festival was because of the nuclei that were an important tool in their everyday life.

"The rules are simple. Killing, stealing, using of magic with the intent of causing harm, and causing chaos within the village is prohibited and punishable by death. Also, now that you've received God's blessing, you have no choice but to enter the portal or you will face the wrath of God. As for the nuclei…"

"Wait! Wrath of God? What the -- You didn't --"

The priestess pulled out a ring from her finger and gave it to Nathan.

"Take this ring. The ceremony will start in about 15 minutes from now so the people in this village are heading to the Holy Temple to attend the Holy Night Ceremony, which includes the shop owners so no shops will be opened until the ceremony ends. I will try to ask the High Priestess to delay the ceremony for 10 minutes. That ring represents us, the Priestesses, so the shop owners will have no choice but to open their shops for you."

'I've been duped…' Nathan frowned as he held the ring on his palm. It was an ordinary golden ring with an insignia in the form of a feather imprinted on it.

The look on the priestess was so sincere that it didn't look like she was lying about facing the wrath of the so-called god she was referring to.

'Looks like I have no choice but to enter the portal, huh,' Nathan thought. "I didn't catch your name."

"When we joined the Priestesses, part of our vow is to discard our name in honor of our God. You may refer to me as Priestess, oh Chosen One."

The Priestess bowed once more.

"Sure, sure. Whatever."

Nathan didn't mind the respect, but he felt a bit weirded out from being called "oh Chosen One". Even with his petty pride and all, it seems a bit too cheesy for him.

He picked up his two large sacks of nuclei before going out of the room while the priestess followed from behind.

When he got outside of the room, the young man was still waiting at the hall.

"I will be going now. May God bless you in the Holy Night Ceremony, oh Chosen One," said the priestess before leaving Nathan and the young man.

"What are the shops here that are vital to the traveling mercenaries who are about to enter the portal?" Nathan said to the young man.

Given that he had so little limited time left, despite the fact he still had so many things to ask and investigate, he decided to ask right away about the vital shops that could help traveling mercenaries before entering the portal.

"Umm… There's the Blacksmith Shop, Item Shop, Magic Shop and the Tavern. They're just right outside of the Village Hall."

"Show me the way."

"Okay."

*** 

The young man brought Nathan to the Magic Shop first.

When they got there, there was a skinny old man and a young kid already preparing to close down the shop to attend the ceremony at the Holy Temple.

The old man noticed Nathan and the young man.

"I'm sorry, but I'm already closing to attend the ceremony."

"Wait!"

Nathan took out the ring and showed it to the old man.

The old man looked at the ring and recognized the insignia.

"Forgive me for my transgression. Please enter my humble shop, Great Chosen One."

'Heh~ This ring is that effective? Plus, it seems people have high respect for Chosen Ones. I must admit, I kind of like them compared to the ones outside of the Divine Tower who think they're my equal.' Nathan thought as he entered.

Meanwhile, the young man who was acting as Nathan's guide was wide-eyed from the revelation.

Not only did the priestess gave Nathan her ring, but Nathan was also a Chosen One. 

As for the reason why the magic shop owner knew Nathan was a Chosen One, it was really simple. The Priestess will only give special privileges to such beings.

The young man has heard stories about the Chosen Ones among the traveling mercenaries before.

According to what he has heard, their overall stats are higher compared to the ordinary traveling mercenaries. Moreover, although they only had one skill, each of their skill is unique. And in most cases, almost cheat-like so they usually have a lot of nuclei to spend on. 

And given that nuclei are an important tool they use in their everyday lives, in the eyes of the people especially for the business owners who cater to traveling mercenaries' necessities, the Chosen Ones are viewed as the best customers.

'I should've realized he was a Chosen One right away when he was carrying those two large sacks filled with nuclei…' The young man thought.
 
The place was filled with books placed on shelves.

"Please have a look at our collection of spellbooks."

Nathan abruptly stopped and looked at the old man.

"Spellbooks? You only have spellbooks here and nothing else?"

"Yes, Great Chosen One. This is a magic shop after all. But the spell books that I offer are useful for your companions --"

"Use--" Nathan was about to curse before realizing something. "Hmm… Given that you know I'm a Chosen One, do you know a way that I can learn skills or upgrade my Chosen One skill?"

"As far as I know, it's not possible. However, the world is full of mysteries so there could be a way that I'm not aware of."

"Useless!" Nathan said as he stormed out of the shop.

"Thank you for gracing my humble shop with your presence, oh Great Chosen One!" The old man said with sincerity and offered a bow to Nathan.

"Thank you!" The young kid who worked at the magic shop offered a bow as well.

Outside…

"Is that the Blacksmith Shop?" Nathan asked the young man.

"You're one of the Chosen Ones? Wow. May I --"

"Not now, I don't have much time!"

"I'm very sorry. Yes, it is, Great Chosen One."

When they got to the shop, it was the same as the Magic Shop. 

The shop owner, who was an old man with a robust body, and a young man who looked like his son were closing the shop to attend the ceremony.

The son noticed Nathan and the young man approaching.

"I'm here to check your shop." Nathan flashed the ring right away.

"We're closed already. Go away!"

"Do you see this ring?"

The son looked at the ring on and recognized the insignia.

His eyes widened and he ran to his father.

Nathan stepped inside the Blacksmith Shop right away.

There were medieval-type weapons and equipment displayed around the shop.

He approached one of the items and touched it.

'[Grade D]… [Unawakened]… What?'

He touched another item.

'[Grade D]… [Unawakened]…'

He touched another item.

It was also [Grade D] and [Unawakened].

'What the fuck is this shit?'

"Great Chosen One, how may I be of service?" It was the owner of the shop.

Author's note: I took some ideas from the novel [God and Devil World].

This is my very first novel. So, the chapters will be short. *winces* Sorry about that...



I would like to make a few things clear to all my future readers...

First off, my home language isn't English. So there will be some grammar mistakes. I try to fix as many as I can, but they'll still be there. "Oh boy, now they're going kill me...", *clears throat* R-r-right, on to the next point.

I started writing because I love stories and I have a lot of ideas stuck in my mind. When I was younger, playing with my dolls helped me to get the stories out of my mind. But since I gave my dolls away, I got stuck with stories always in my mind. So I thought to myself "what the heck, I'll just write these ideas down" And so my ideas gradually started to form a story.

I also started to take my writing a bit more serious because I would like to improve my writing skills. I ask that if you come across a mistake I made to please point it out. That way, it helps me to learn from my mistakes and write better.

I've recently started to draw my own pictures for my story. All pictures used in the story are my own. I'm not very good at drawing but it's fun and helps me to actually see the world I created with my own eyes.  So I hope you'll like them even with their many flaws! :-)

Also, I'm a grade 11 student and I'm writing in my spare time. Thus my story is progressing very slowly. *sniffle*



I kindly ask you to bear with me.

Please let me know what you think in the comments. (Plus, seeing some comments will help to keep me motivated)

Well, I hope that you'll like my novel!

*This book contains some mild violence*


Update schedule: 1 chapter per week

Learning how to read has been easier than I expected. The alphabet here has ten letters which indicate sound like "A" or "O" and five letters which indicate sounds like "R" or "K". Those letters can be made into characters which can make up words like putting together "HA" "P" and "PY" makes up the word happy. There is more than 100 characters like those and some of them are even their own words. It took me about half a year to remember all of the letters and after a year and a half I was able to completely memorize the most important characters. Now I can read basically every book I get my hands on. I even got a story book for my first birthday. I was a little worried when I got it, because books are expensive, but I heard that grandma and her son gave my mother a discount when she bought the book. Aparendly seeing a one-year-old read a book made more people interested in reading and they had gotten more books sold even to commoners like us and not only nobles.
My mother still goes to the market daily and takes me with her. She of course leaves me at grandmas care so I can continue reading. Grandmas eyesight has gotten bad so she leaves me to read by myself now. She says that she enjoys hearing me read and is happy when I come and visit her. I really like being with grandma too, but I am scared that she won't be here for that much longer… Then I'll just have to be happy as long as she's here! Reading story books ended for me when grandma stopped reading. I wanted to learn about the world around me and to do that I had to read actual books about science. I read books about biology, I read books about math, I even read medical books until  grandma found out and took those from me. I understand why she did that. Those books reminded me of a scary word. It's a word no one likes and a word that everyone is scared of. Death… The disappearance of someone. "After you die no one will remember you!"
 I wonder who said that... Death is the one thing I don't really want to learn about. Mostly it's because that would lead me to religion and I don't care for that, but also because I'm scared. No one wants to die. That is something that will always be true no matter where you are. Religion I don't really have a problem with. Here you become a part of a religion ones you are at  the age of five. That's because many children die at a very young age and so they can't really be considered "Humans" here. It is sad, because you can't let them go to the "Other world" as they say, like you can do with probably in the religion. Also you can't bury them. Those are the rules and we live by them even if it is sad.

A little girl is born to an original family in historical times. For reasons she does not know, she has been given a lot knowledge and she has a very good understanding of everything around her. Having knowledge is still not something that an original girl I her times should have and it brings her nothing bus bad luck.

The sun hadn't even cleared the horizon before Rykar and Loki excitedly dashed out of the room fully equipped as though ready for war. With Rob in tow, they quickly scanned their bracelets before descending the lift and venturing into the forest of bookshelves.

Being recognized immediately due to their extravagant masks, a librarian silently began to trail behind them with a silver cart after informing them that he would be waiting on them and willing to answer any questions. History, mathematics, statistics, culture, science, weaponry, biology, farming. Walking through just two of the hundreds of bookshelves, they were already baffled as to which topics to explore while recited the titles of any books they pointed to on the shelves.

Growing annoyed of the aimless searching, he took the initiative to turn towards the librarian. "Excuse me, where can we find books related to exploration? Mainly focusing on geography, animals, plants. Information on fragments and worlds, along with travel information are also needed." While speaking a thousand times more refined than usual, he straightened his back while attempting to put on a façade of someone who could actually afford his getup. 

It didn't even take two seconds of thought before the woman smiled and lead them just a few shelves across. "This row, along with the next two, house books which are mainly focused on the world around us, the sea of stars and more of the commonplace flora and fauna. Please let me know if there are any specifics you are interested in and I will do my best to help."

Like kids in a candy store, the twins no longer even asked Rob any questions as they pulled books off the shelves and looked at the covers with glistening eyes. There were an assortment of designs, some very abstract, while others giving a clear idea of the contents of the book. Plants, animals, mythical looking beasts, stars, swirling clouds. These books were piled up on the cart one after the other while the more blank and dull designs were put back on the shelves without suspense.     

It wasn't long before there was a second librarian right next to the first, along with a second trolley due to the first being too full. While one went to take the first set of books to their study, the second was also half full when the next question came from Rykar. "Where are the story books? With generals and armies!" 

Barely containing his excitement, he only calmed down slightly when Rob tugged his shoulder to get him to stop skipping while they followed the librarian across the shelves once again. 

"Just these shelves?" He asked when they arrived at a quieter section of the library. This was a walkway dozens of metres long and with books lining the sides, yet it didn't seem to be even a drop in the ocean compared to all the shelves they had walked past to get there. Despite the grand scale, Rykar seemed disappointed that they only took up such a small section, even with this much already being enough to keep him occupied for years.

"No, this whole section is. From this isle, to the end of the wall. This is allocated to the both factual and fictional based stories and poetry." The librarian corrected. 

Almost on cue, the twins once again went into a frenzy, picking all the fancy looking books and especially those with plenty of pictures, illustrations and diagrams within. It took the longest hour of Rob's life before they finally went back up to their rooms after having sent up four trolleys of books between the two librarians tasked to them.  

With their first meal already set up on the table, there was no suspense as Chance got them to finish eating before gathering around the table once again.  

Without allowing them to dive straight into their story books, Chance first took the opportunity to go through the books related to the world around them and before selecting one to read between them. With the book in hand and the twins at either side, he read through the book slowly. Without rushing or ignoring any of their questions, he pointed out the letters and words as he went, making sure that he explained how the words were formed and giving them an understanding of the mess of shapes sprawled across the paper. 

Amazingly enough, as many of the key words were repeated, the twins were already able to see some patterns in the shorter and less complex sentences, piecing together one or two words within a sentence by the end of the first chapter which came to amaze both Rob and Chance. They were practically sponges when it came to learning anything! 

It took till noon to go through the first two books, with barely a break even to get a drink as Chance started feeling his throat get sore with the incessant questions from the other three in the room. Most of the questions they asked, he was just as clueless as them towards the answers. Despite this, their horizons were expanded again and again as gasps of astonishment often broke the flow of reading. 

The world system within the sea of stars was the easiest to explain, with a simply yet meticulous way of categorizing the grade boundaries. The sea of stars was virtually endless, while constantly expanding and growing around itself. Changes would occur at every and any moment, oftentimes throwing entire solar systems into chaos before reforming themselves or simply becoming desolate space. 

Ever light within the sky, usually referred to as stars, were actually entire worlds! The light being emitted from them was actually a form of energy which was emitted from the condensation of energy which forms their world boundary. This 'world boundary' was a form of protection and isolation which served as the benchmark of a planet becoming a world.

Before this boundary was formed, planets weren't even qualified to me mapped out by official channels oftentimes, as they were still classed as being within development and may be abandoned at any time. Grace, the planet they were on, was a perfect example of this.  

Despite the habitable atmosphere for life and civilization, the planet was all but devoid of energy, potentially requiring up to a thousand years before accumulating enough to support its cataclysm, propelling itself to form its own boundary while expanding dramatically in size. 

Generally, after each cataclysm, a world would increase its grade by one, however, there have been many cases of a world going through a small scale cataclysm. While this would still cause its barrier to develop and increase its size, this wouldn't be enough to qualify the world for the next grade. There was no glorification for this, it was simply referred to as a failed cataclysm. The cons of this situation often outweighed the pros, as each cataclysm requires a much vaster accumulation of energy compared to the last. 

Omega, the largest and only recorded rank 9 world was literally at the centre of the sea, with the rest of the sea expanding from the centre around it. Due to the pull gravitational from Omega, the larger the planet, along with the strength of its boundary, causes the more prosperous worlds to congregate towards the centre of the sea. 

Contrary to their initial expectations of the larger worlds being in the centre and the smaller ones being on the periphery of the sea, the worlds themselves were surrounded by other planets and worlds, with the orbits of which crossing over and switching zones often. This all caused the sea to have a volatile nature with each world usually supporting the flow of various smaller ones within its influence.

All in all, where they were now, on an offshoot planet under the control of the corporation 'Grace', there were living on nothing but a grain of sand within a sea bidder than they could imagine.

Their only reason the company invested in this planet in the first place was due to the naturally formed fragment, which only needed minimal investment to stabilize its eco-system. This was essentially getting two worlds for the cost of one, while providing a safe and secure environment for the essence fruit plantation. Despite its size, it was apparent that the plant was only in its initial stages, with the growth of the plants and replantation of a portion of the fruits from each harvest, the project would sweep through the rest of the fragment in its entirety. 

The reason they were slowly picking off the escapees was because there was no rush in the first place! They were literally stuck within the same cage they thought they had gotten out of and eventually they would have no place to go along with the expansion of activity. With the escapees serving punishments, this would prompt order and stability within the camp, providing a new bottom tier and giving those already working there, a sense of superiority. All this came at the price of a few workers 'escaping' every month due to the security 'dropping their guard'. 

They thought their sense of the world had expanded, until they moved onto some of the basic geography and found out that not only worlds, but cities were classified by the grade system also. What was laughable, was that the 'city' they were living in was actually an outpost for the expansion into this planet. It honestly didn't even quality as a grade one city, without many of the basic systems in place to even function as one. 

By the time lunch rolled round, it felt as though the informative books they had been reading were more like story books and fantasy works. Their expectations towards leaving the planet and venturing onto Grace were actually dulled by the context of the book, leaving them skeptical to the possibilities of it all. 

"Rob, pick a book for them to read through for the next hour or two. I need to go get something but ill be back in no time." Chance patted his stomach while donning his mask and gesturing to the others to do the same before as he made his way towards the door. 

"Where are you going?" Loki asked. He felt it weird to only be a day into their 'study' yet Chance was breaking the rule he set for them, not to leave the library. 

"I have to get back to the sewers and pic something up. I would have brought it earlier but it really couldn't be helped." He sighed as he made his way out but it didn't take long for them to busy themselves as Rob threw a book towards Rob. Catching it reflexively, he found himself holding a thick tomb with its cover depicting a dragon breathing a jet of fire towards a knight in full armour. 

"This one." Both twins grinned excitedly. 

What is a moral compass?

When does good turn into evil and when is doing the bad things for a good result, the right thing to do? 

Is 'justice' righteous or should it be to 'live and let live'?

if surviving means becoming a sin itself, should you accept death? 

Is it wrong to sacrifice a million strangers for one you hold dear? 

Two youths, twisted and guided by their environment and encounters, find themselves as the eye of the eclipse proliferates with them at the very centre. 

Trauma and hardship can forge the most unbreakable characters, but in that process, there is a fine line between unbreakable and utterly broken beyond repair.
