Li Lu was gone, Alan was left alone in the street, he shook his head and decided to visit the imperial city, after all, it was the greatest ruling power on the continent. Alan didn't know much about the mainland and the others surrounding the Jiang mainland, he had learned a little about it from Feng Chan, but he never knew much about it, he intended to go to a library to read all the books and find out. 

Alan soon learned that there was the imperial library which was accessible to everyone, there were no martial skills, just books on the history of the continent, the outside world, conflicts, and others. Hardly any practitioner went there because being informed was not worth much in this world. 

The imperial library is free, it means that everybody can go in, when Alan entered, he was shocked, because there were 7 floors and each floor contained hundreds of thousands of books, it was impressive. 

"System, can you transfer all the information from the books to me on this floor? "Alan wanted to ask this, because reading hundreds of thousands of books, or finding a single book that talked about what he wanted would take a very long time. 

[Soul strength is strong enough to handle reading 25,000 books every two hours.]

Alan was a little surprised, he figured he really needed to increase his soul strength, the stronger his soul was, the more he would become a high-level alchemist, even though with every major breakthrough the soul increased, the soul was still a weak point of many a cultivator. 

Alan's soul had never increased since the beginning, his soul was already as strong as a martial lord since he had awakened the bloodline of the Dragon God. This was a great advantage.

"System, transfer the information from 25,000 pounds to me. " Said, Alan. Suddenly an impressive amount of information appeared in his mind, Alan was suffering a little, it was the limit of information his soul could bear. After a few seconds, Alan had all the information in his 25,000 books. They were books on the history of the continent, the greatest talents of the last 100,000 years. There was a lot of information. During the two hours, Alan decided to increase the strength of his soul by cultivating the technique of the divine soul, his soul would become stronger, moreover, the recovery was faster. Within one hour Alan had fully recovered his soul power, he did the same thing after every 25,000 books read. 

Two days later, Alan was resting in the library, he had all the information from the 7 floors of the library, they had learned so much that even he felt surprised. As Feng Chan had told him, there were 2 other continents next to the Jiang continent, but what Feng Chan didn't tell him is that the 3 continents are at war with the continent of demons and magical beasts, it's a continent 3 times bigger than the 3 human continents, they've been at war since the ancient era, there are demons who cultivate demonic techniques which are often inhuman techniques, there are also magical beasts in great quantity which are under the orders of the demons. This had surprised Alan. He had even read that the three human continents do not make war against each other because they have to fight against the demonic continent and if a human continent fights against another human continent, the demonic continent will attack and it will be the end for the three human continents. 

It also had an earth-sky ranking, the earth ranking regroups the best geniuses or warriors of the realm heaven under 60 years old, there were 1000 places, and the sky ranking regroups the best warriors of the continent, who are often martial emperors, there were also 1000 places. 

He also read that the youngest genius to have reached the realm of the martial emperor is the Saint Ming sword 15,000 years ago, he reached the martial emperor at the age of 48 years, which is extraordinary, he was called the holy sword in the Jiang continent because it is said that his sword could cut everything. He was a lonely person and few people have seen it, the only time he appeared and shocked everyone was in the sky ranking, he was only 50 years old and yet he managed to rank 1st in the sky ranking when he was only at the beginning of the martial emperor, while the top ten are mostly at the top of the martial emperor. This had broken all logic, nobody knew his talent, nobody knew his origin, but it was someone who had made his mark on his lands and conquered them.

To be ranked on the earth rank, you have to go to the gladiator arena, those who want to train and win rewards without being on the earth rank can fight by signing a pact of life or death, they will either fight against demonic beasts of their level or a man of their level. This was very popular in the imperial city. As for the earth ranking, you didn't have to kill, you just had to make your opponent abdicate. Alan read that the youngest genius to enter the earth rankings was only 10 years old. It was a talent that turned the world upside down. When they measured his talent, seven golden rays pierced the sky. This genius had caused a great war against the demonic continent, he didn't want to let such a genius live, otherwise, they will be doomed.  It is said that he died during the war. 

Alan sighed, there was so much talent, he wondered if there would be such a genius in this generation. 

Alan smiled and then walked out of the library, you could say that now nobody knew the world better than Alan. All the herbs of alchemy, metals, weapons, ancient places. Alan knew it all. 

Besides, Alan had made a great breakthrough

[Soul Cultivation] Early-stage teenage soul]

His soul had risen to a higher level, Alan was happy, his soul had become much stronger. On leaving, he prepared to go back to the inn and then to participate in the earth ranking, he was very curious about that. 

When he entered the inn, suddenly a cry of distress resounded.

"Alan, I'm sorry, please don't leave me, I'll never do this again, I don't want to lose you, I want to stay with you. " Said Li Lu with tears in her eyes. 

" Huh? Why are you crying? Why are you feeling sorry? Has something happened? "Alan asked a lot of questions, he couldn't understand why Li Lu was like that.

"You disappeared for two days, I thought you'd abandoned me because of my behavior. " Li Lu said sadly, bowing his head...

"Why would I abandon you for that, I was at the library reading. " Said Alan while caressing Li Lu's head. But he thought she really was a demon. With such a crying beauty, Alan felt sad, with a face like that, many people will rush to protect her. 

"You're not lying? "Li Lu said, looking up.

"Silly, why would I lie... Anyway, let's eat, I'll make you taste human food. Alan smiled as he left.

Li Lu muttered as he watched Alan leave.

"Yan Fei told me to be like this, even though I was afraid he'd really abandon me. For now, it's okay, I have to follow his advice! "A surge of determination passed through Li Lu's eyes.

He was a genius, but not in the martial arts. His father abandoned him, his brother poisoned him, and his mother was imprisoned because of him.

Is his fate linked to this? No, he doesn't want to.

[Ding! The host has shown courage and great determination, you are blessed by the Dragon God]

3 or 4 chapters per week

I am not English and the English language is not my strong point!

The relationships between loved ones might not always be pure and simple. 
The elders might have given the best resources to nurture their younger generation, but it could have been an investment, one that they were expecting returns from. 
It was not to say that all family relations would be so cold-hearted, but undeniably, such situations did exist.
Shi Qing smiled reluctantly. "Qiao Nan, don't you think that you've made it sound too horrifying?" She was just told that despite being in their uniforms, some of the soldiers in the army might not strive for excellence and there were grey areas that she did not know of in the past. Now, Qiao Nan was telling her that there was such an ugly side to the relationships between relatives. Like the soldiers in the army who just learned English, Shi Qing found it difficult to adapt.
"Horrifying?" Qiao Nan was amused. "I know you like to read. Let me introduce you to this author. You only have to read all of his books to know if I have been exaggerating."
"Do you mean the books written by Lu Xun[1]?"
"Yes, that's right. You can look for them yourself." The reading articles in their syllabus were too positive. Those articles that were thought-provoking were not in their reading lists, and they had to look for it by themselves. 
Shi Qing was not someone who would procrastinate. 
Qiao Nan had mentioned it to her that evening, and the next morning, Shi Qing went to look for Shi Peng. "Dad, do you have time? Can you find someone to buy me some books?"
"Books?" Shi Peng looked at Shi Qing with interest. "What books do you want? Humanities or science? One is marked by the company one keeps. In the past, you will not even do your homework during summer break, let alone reading books. It seems to be good for you to have made such a good friend."
Actually, Shi Peng did not care if his daughter did her homework or not. He felt that what mattered was her attitude. 
His daughter was smart. Since a young age, she was quick to learn new things and she had good results. As her father, Shi Peng was worried that having a smooth-sailing life might not be a good thing for her. 
"I am interested in Lu Xun's novels and psychology books related to social relations. Get more of those for me."
"You want to read those books?"
"Yes!"
Shi Peng's palm went cold. He placed it against the warm teacup. "Did Qiao Nan recommend you to read these books?"
"She gave me suggestions." It was up to her to read or not.
Shi Peng had a serious look. "Are you sure you want to read these books?"
"Yes. Dad, I just realized that having good results does not mean everything in this world. Life is much more complicated than that." Life was unlike doing problem sums, especially science topic that only had one correct answer. It was either correct or wrong. "Dad, I want to grow up. It's time that I grow up."
"There's a price to pay for growing up."
"But you can't protect me forever."
It was for the longest time before Shi Peng answered. "Well, in the afternoon, I will get people to send the books over. There's no harm in reading more books." In the end, Shi Peng relented.
Shi Qing's eyes lit up. "Dad, thank you." Thank you for caring and protecting her all this while, but she had to grow up.
"You have indeed grown up." Shi Peng sighed. He knew that Qing Qing thanked him not only for the books but also for being protective of her.
To Shi Peng, it was simply because he wanted his daughter to have those that he did not have. He did not expect that his daughter was able to stand up for herself and did not need his protection. Perhaps this was his greatest blessing.
While Qiao Nan was working hard on her homework in the afternoon, Shi Qing dumped a stack of books onto the table that Qiao Nan was at. The pen that Qiao Nan left on the table bounced from the weight of the books. 
"Hey, did your dad get you all the books from the library?" Qiao Nan curled the corners of her lips at the large pile of books on the table. "Even if you want to read up, you should take things slowly. With this stack of books, isn't your dad worried that you may be frightened off by them?"
"That's our style. People from the Shi family give their best efforts in whatever they do. Anyway, there's still three-third of the summer break left. I have all the time to finish these books. I can definitely finish them." After she finished reading these books, the first thing she wanted to figure out was none other than her family. 
She wanted to understand why her grandpa sided with Qiu Chenxi. 
"I will cheer you on." Qiao Nan let go of the pen that had been bounced off.
Shi Qing placed a few of the books in front of Qiao Nan. "These are yours."
Qiao Nan took a quick glance. They were sociology and psychology books. "I do not plan to read these books."
"That will not do. We are good friends. We should share weals and woes." These books were theory-based and were dull and dry. She had to get someone to read it with her. It was boring to read books by herself. But it would be different if she had company.
Qiao Nan shot Shi Qing a sideways glance. "When did we become friends? I have no idea at all."
"Now you know."
"Since we must share weals and woes and seeing that I have so much homework to be done, shouldn't you help me with it?"
"Hey, you have done much more than me. When it comes to homework, I am so much behind you. If we are to share weals and woes, it's you who have to help me with it." Actually, she never did her summer break homework. She felt that it was a waste of time.
Qiao Nan felt like slapping Shi Qing. No matter what she said, Shi Qing would find ways to take advantage of her. 
Qiao Nan picked a book and flipped through a few pages. The paper quality was particularly good. Some of the books were even imported. They were as good as the books that Zhu Chengqi gave her. It would be difficult to get these books on the market. "Are you able to understand these books?"
Shi Qing scored fairly well for her English, but having good results in high school did not mean that she would be able to understand these English books. Even for her, though she only flipped through a few pages, she would need a dictionary to be able to understand the contents.
"Oh yeah, this is for you." Shi Qing pulled out a book from the stack. It was as thick as the wooden headrest in ancient times. She passed it to Qiao Nan. "Take your time to read it. It's okay if I don't understand. It is fine as long as you can understand them. By then, I can simply get you to tell me the contents of the books!"
"Oxford Dictionary?" Qiao Nan's expression darkened. Did Shi Qing intend to treat her as a translation tool? 
"That's right. It is not that easy to get this dictionary now. It is the 1995 edition. You have to make good use of it." Her father had taken this from his private collection. 
"The 1995 edition of OALD?" Qiao Nan had heard of it.
"What's OALD? I am not too sure. You can take a look at it yourself." Shi Qing did not understand anything that was beyond their English syllabus in school. As for the edition of the Oxford dictionary, she was clueless. Shi Qing was in a slight panic when Qiao Nan mentioned OALD all of a sudden.
[1] He was a leading figure of modern Chinese literature.


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"

A book store in Konohagakure
Menma was about to go to Ichiraku's when he bumped into Naruto. He frowned at Naruto and said, "Watch where you are going. Anyways, where are you going?"
Naruto smiled widely and said, " I am going to the bookstore. You want to accompany me?"
Menma said, "Well, I have nothing to do so I will accompany you."
So the two of them went along to the bookstore and Naruto went to the section containing Master-Jiraiya where he met Kakashi. Semingly, both of them were searching for the same book. They bumped into each other just in front of the latest release in the Icha Icha series.
Naruto first saw him and greeted him, "Hi Kakashi Senpai. Its been a long time hasn't it senpai. Anyways, I am searchng for the latest release in the Icha Icha series. Did you find it by any chance?"
Kakashi looked surprised and baffled. He asked, "You are actually looking for it? Who else knows about this hobby of yours?"
Naruto said, "Perhaps tou-san. No one else"
Kakashi said, "You should be careful with it. There are many who oppose the great books."
Naruto nodded and said, " I agree."
Kakashi looked at Menma who was staring at them as though he knew nothing. Kakashi asked, "Well, Menma, what are you here for?"
Menma answered, "Ohhh, Naruto asked me to accompany him so I just came along."
Kakashi sighed. He told Naruto, "I am unable to find the new Icha Icha release. Where are they keeping it?"
Menma looked surprised that they didn't notice that the book was right in front of them. They were searching up and down, every nook and corner of the store for a book right in front of their eyes. He wondered what was so great about this book they were searching out. He took the liberty to say, "Hya, Naruto, Kakashi-san, the book you two are searching for is right in front of you guys." Saying so, he smiled.
The two of them exclaimed, "HUH!"
They looked right in front of them and there were only two copies of the book remaining had all been burnt by ravaging angry Kunoichi who kind of disgusted the books. Naruto and Kashi each teleported and shushined to the books, and picked them up and sighed a sigh of relief that the last copies were safe in their hands.
Naruto said, "I don't know why people dislike these books. These are few of the greatest books ever published and they burn it down. I really don't understand them."
Kakashi nodded in agreement. He said, "If in the worst case I become the Hokage, I shall ban the burning of these books so that all of us can read them happily."
Naruto smiled. He said, "That would be the greatest thing ever."
Meanwhile, Menma took Naruto's copy and read a few pages. He threw it back at Naruto who caught it with grace. He turned towards Menma who said, "Hya, I don't understand why you guys are talking like his about the book. In my eyes, this is just smut."
Naruto blinked in surprise. He said, "Well, read it from the first installment. Then give your opinion. If you want, I can hatch you up with a copy of all the installments."
Menma took a few steps back and said, "Hya, keep those books to yourself. I don't want to get burnt by Kunoichi."
Naruto sighed and said, "You yourself will come to me asking for a copy one of these days. I shall e waiting for it." He grinned widely. Menma did not like when he or Tou-san grinned. It gave a very very creepy feeling.
Kakashi said, " Now now, the two of you have team placements tomorrow if I am not wrong. Now you two should go back and get prepared. You might end up in unusual teams tomorrow. Ja ne."
Naruto smiled and replied, "Ja ne, Senpai."
Kakashi then shushined to the cashier, paid the price and left. Naruto said, "Menma, lets get going as well. We shall have a long day tomorrow." The both of them went to the cashier, paid for the book and went out. They then went to Ichiraku and had five bowls of Ramen each. They then left for their home. Upon reaching the Uchiha clan compound they were recieved by Izuna. Izuna was astounded by the book Naruto was holding in his hand. He asked in surprise, "Why do you have that book in your hand?" Menma smirked at Naruto. He laughed slightly and said, "You're busted"
Izuna nodded and said, "You would be, if Mito were here that is. I went to the bookstore to get myself a copy of this book when I saw many Kunoichi burning these down. Mito was one of them. I couldn't believe it. The first day and they burn the books apart. How did you get a copy of this?"
Menma's jaw dropped to the ground. Naruto said, "I was actually lucky to get a copy. There were only two copies of it remaining. I and Kakashi-senpai both were searching for it together. It was thanks to Menma that I got a copy. You can read it if you want." Izuna sighed in relief. He looked at Menma and said, "Thank you Menma. I have been waiting for the release of this book for months together. You will not believe just how unhappy and depressed I was when I saw that many people burning it down. Can you imagine how depressed ad angry you would feel if people burnt down your favorite Ramen? Yes, that is exactly how I felt."
Menma wa unble to believe his senses. He knew he would feel bad if someone burnt ramen in front of him, but tou-san felt like that about those books! He stepped back and said, "Hehe tou-san. Your welcome and good night." Saying so, he ran away so that he would not have to be near people who read such books.
Meanwhile, Izuna said, "Naruto, give me the book. I shall make a copy of i for myself using the Rinnegan and give i back to you tomorrow after your kenjutsu and Kami no Ken training."
Naruto handed the book, said, "Good Night" and teleported to his room. Izuna on the other hand went to his room and started making an Icha Icha copy for himself.

After leaving Konoha, Madara came back to it to marry his love, Subarashi Uchiha. He did so after gaining the Rinnegan. Madara and Subarashi had a child who they named Tajima after Madara's father. Tajima gained the chakra of both Madara and Hashirama eventually gaining the Rinnegan as well. Tajima became a war hero of Konoha. Tajima had a son named Izuna. Izuna also gained the Rinnegan eventually. Izuna became the Hokage upon Minato's death. Naruto who is Izuna's son also gains the Rinnegan upon the Uchiha massacre. What will Naruto do in the face of many challenges?

To say the castle is beautiful would be an understatement. It's so gorgeous. Even better than my own castle. But I won't admit it to anyone especially to some big-headed kidnapper King and besides, I love my kingdom and castle.

We passed through many corridors where the arts of different artists are displayed on the walls. Golden and silver chandelier hanging on the ceiling and red carpet on the floor. Multiple doors on either side of mine as I am walking behind the Butler whose name is Haru. That is a Japanese word but is also used in the Korean language. His name means day, which I find quite cute. He is the most senior here who had rendered his services in this castle for more than thirty years. 

Haru showed me the library which I must say is very good and as many books as I can't count. This place is a special treat for me. This place will take the most time of my day.

"Will you continue the tour or will spend your time here? Princess" Haru asked me politely with a smile on his cute wrinkly face. He is such a good man.

"No, we may continue the tour some other time whenever you are free because I want to spend my time here," I asked with a small smile gracing my lips. He smiled in return.

"It's okay princess, whenever you want to continue the tour, I am always at your service regarding any matter" With that being said he bowed a little in front of me and left me there in this big world full of fantasies.

Back in my castle, I used to have a library too but it was not as large as this one and I already read almost all the books present there. Yes, I love books that much.

They take me to a world full of things that I have never experienced.

Walking towards the first shelf I took a book out of hundreds. Not even a little dust. There are plush chairs with a glass table and a lantern on it on every right corner of the library. I chose one and sat on it, opened my book and started reading it. The genre comes to be romance.

I have a bad habit of not looking at the description of the book before I decide to read it. I just pick one and start reading it. This makes me comfortable with every genre. I am not the type of person who reads a book of only one type. I love to read each and everything I find somewhere.

Time passed in a blur and it's already dark outside. I can tell because there is a window here and the time when I came here there was still light out there but now there is no light except for the fact that there is some shine of the moon which illuminates the room.

Since there is no more light and the fire of the lantern has already finished so I decided to head back towards my room when suddenly my belly made an embarrassing sound. I am hungry. I didn't eat anything because I spent all of my time in the library since morning. Myung-Dae must have been returned by now.

He didn't ask me to eat dinner with him.

That thought suddenly crawled upon my mind. What I am thinking? It's not like that if he ate one dinner or one breakfast with me he will always do this. But still...

Ignoring the sudden sadness which is bubbling within me I head back towards my room.

A knock on the oak door erupted my train of thoughts.

"Come in"

There stands Haru on the door with a tray full of food. He entered the room and spoke,

"Princess, our king has sent his greatest apologies that he couldn't join you for dinner as he is not coming back to the castle because of some business, so I have taken this food, so you can eat it since you also didn't eat your lunch," he said and I politely took the tray from him with newfound happiness.

So he was not here, that is why he didn't ask me to eat dinner with him.

I don't know why I am happy about this.

Excerpt:

"From the beginning, I was told that I would see the love in her eyes, love for me. But there is just hate, hate for me"

 *uploading chapters every day, the writing of story has already been finished*

Whether or not Chu Yu was willing to admit it, news of the Great Emperor's return still spread across the city like wildfire.
 This was a megacity!
 It had a huge population.
 There were many powerful beings that had entered advanced realms of cultivation.
There were thousands of beings that had entered the Saint Realm alone.
 This number had given Chu Yu a huge shock.
 He had previously heard that there had been an illustrious age eons before his own time.
 And that the civilisation of cultivation had progressed to a stage that was mind-boggling.
 But all those had ultimately been hearsay; Chu Yu had never actually witnessed it for himself.
Today, he had finally seen it with his own eyes, and he had realised that not only were the rumours true, they had even underestimated these people!
This ancient city that had recently awakened was only one of the countless megacities of that era.
And it wasn't like this era, ruled by various ancient schools, sects and great families.
In the Great Emperor's time, there were still countless ancient schools, sects and great families, but their influence was insignificant.
Only one voice rang true across the land!
And that voice was the Great Emperor's!
Take Ming Kong City for example, whether it was the families in the city or the sects, all of them treated the Great Emperor with utmost respect!
The masses pledged their allegiance to him!
The influence of this Great Emperor surpassed the entire imagination of Chu Yu, a person from today's world.
In Ming Kong City, the majority of cultivators from the Saint Realm did not have any of the airs of a powerful Saint Realm cultivator. They weren't very different from the fine people of the secular world during the era of no magic on Earth.
The social relations and structure of the city did not differ much as well.
The Great Emperor had endured various trials and tribulations and reincarnated a few times before he had returned to release the city's seal.
He had saved them from their entrapment.
Everyone was excited to the point of being barely able to control themselves.
As such, after Chu Yu had met with Li Hong Ru, the whole city was in a wild festive mood for the next few days!
"How big-hearted they are!" Lin Shi, who typically responded calmly when anything happened, marvelled at them.  
Xu Xiao Xian nodded, "If it were me…...If someone was to suddenly come up and tell me that I was already a person from an era eons ago...What do you think I would do?"
Lin Shi laughed, "You would slap the person, kick them, and then finish off by cursing…...S..."
"Haha!"
Xu Xiao Xian broke out into unrestrained laughter and looked at Lin Shi, "Don't you know me well!"
She then continued speaking while laughing, "I'd definitely do that, but..."
She sighed lightly, "If after that I knew that this whole thing was real, then…...I definitely wouldn't be in the mood for wild celebrations. I'd definitely lock myself up to cool off for a few days first. If not…...I'm afraid I might go crazy."
Lin Shi nodded, "Yes, that's why they say each era has its own characteristics. They might not be able to understand the way people of our era live. For us, we actually…...will also have some difficulty understanding how they think."
Chu Yu sat to a side. He was flipping through a large number of books at an extremely high speed.
These books were incredibly valuable to a person from the future like him!
This weren't just things from an era sixty million years ago.
These were things from an era that had been lost to them!
Previously no one would have dared to even think they could have access to these books, let alone read them.
These were incredibly rare books from sixty million years ago - an era that had flourished magnificently.
But at this moment, these rare books were piled up like a mountain before Chu Yu's eyes!
Li Hong Ru had activated his connections to collect all these books.
Chu Yu had wanted to understand this era, and Li Hong Ru was eagerly waiting for the Great Emperor to awaken completely faster in order for the true king to return!
So when he had heard that Chu Yu was interested in learning about the books of this era, he had sent over tens of thousands of books without a second thought.
There were all sorts of books!
"His Majesty would like to read some books? I have a hundred thousand in my personal collection!"
"Ahem, there's no need for so many, just select a few most representative ones."
"They are all very representative! How about this, I'll present our family's most valuable teachings to His Majesty!"
"You are too kind, His Majesty will be grateful to you."  
"It is our greatest honour to be able to do this little favour for His Majesty!"
Conversations like these happened all over the city.
As such, the books that were ultimately sent to Chu Yu were almost all top-quality teachings.
There were authoritative texts on the Great Emperor and on this particular era too.
All these books were all brought over.
Even if Chu Yu didn't particularly desire power, at this moment he couldn't help but feel as though he had the world at his fingertips.
No wonder there had always been so many cultivators who had wanted to become sanctified and so many mortals who had wanted to attain nobility or kingship since time immemorial.
Power was indeed a delicious poison.
It was a little embarrassing, but when Chu Yu had first started looking through these books, he had been speechless at the discovery that he could not read the words in them!
The two eras were separated by a great chasm of time, but somehow the language was still passed down through the generations.
The way people spoke and expressed themselves was virtually the same.
Furthermore with the same roots, there were certain personality traits everyone had that were very similar.
But the difference in the written word…...was too huge!
Words in the time of the Great Emperor had all been imprinted using the laws!
This was because this era was the peak of the civilisation of cultivation in the human realm.
As such, the words on these books were a crystallisation of the power of the laws.
These were the true principles!
Everything that could be imprinted using the laws was definitely recognised by Heaven.
This was essentially different…...both from Chu Yu's time where people were surrounded by electronic devices, and from the time before Chu Yu was born, where the earth had still been in the era of no magic and there had been messy printed goods everywhere!
These books and teachings from an era sixty thousand years ago were sealed in pieces of jade, others written in ancient scrolls.
But simply the fact that these books were written by using the imprint of the laws…...this was something Chu Yu had never seen before.
As to the three realms technique that Chu Yu was cultivating, that was something of an even higher level.
It was an existence that Chu Yu could not even begin to explain at this point of time.
Looking at this large stack of books written using the laws, Chu Yu could only decipher their contents bit by bit.
Though he did not know any of the words, Chu Yu could slowly understand many of the powers of the laws in them.
After a few days, he had gained much indeed!
He had begun to be able to easily read these books.
Then…...he began to read faster and faster.
In the end, it seemed to the others that Chu Yu was just flipping through books nonstop.
...
...
A few days ago, in Li Hong Ru's living room where he received guests, a group of esteemed elders and higher beings from Ming Kong City had gathered.
Someone asked a question that went like this.
"After all, the Great Emperor has lived through the various ages. Now that he has reincarnated into this age and returned, he wants to read those books to hunt for his memory. However, the words on those books are all written with the laws - they are heavenly texts. If there is no one to guide him, would His Majesty be able to understand them?"
There were many who agreed with him.
They may have no trouble at all reading those books now, but they remembered the great pains they went through in their youth to learn these words and understand their meanings as though it had happened yesterday.
But Li Hong Ru was not at all concerned about this.
"Don't forget, even if His Majesty has forgotten everything about his past, he is ultimately still our Great Emperor!"
"Just a few books are nothing to His Majesty."
He had said with a smile.
Afterwards he sighed and continued, "His Majesty isn't very willing to accept this truth. We may be connected by fate, but now our Great Emperor has become another person from this era named Chu Yu. That is undeniable."
Everyone in the room grew quiet.
It was tragic.
Being of higher stature themselves, they knew certain things as well.
"It hasn't been easy for His Majesty at all. He has given too much to this vast human realm." An elder sighed.
"Countless years may have passed us by without our knowledge, but His Majesty has had to reincarnate time and again, even forgetting everything from the past and needing these books to understand our era. How heartbreaking it is." Another elder lamented.
Li Hong Ru spoke, "This is why His Majesty must come to a realisation on his own before he can accept his identity and lead us to continue rising in this new age. What we can do is to do all we can to help him."
Li Hong Ru glanced at the people as he spoke, "We have no right to participate in that heavenly war. The three realms have collapsed in this age eons after our own. Yet the human realm remains in chaos, with people even plotting to harm His Majesty!"  
"They're tired of living!"
"Truly, they're courting death!"
"Who dares to plot against His Majesty? We'll eradicate his entire family!"
The collective mood in the room was instantly one of excitement.
It was hard to imagine that the weakest amongst those sitting here were at the peak of Saint Realm. 
Furthermore, cultivators at the peak of the Saint Realm in their era had all lived in a time when the laws were complete.
Their cultivation journey was naturally more successful as well.
In their era, beings of the Saint Realm could be considered strong, but they really weren't strong enough to even think about things like conquering the starry skies.
So many a times, these people did not behave like the higher beings of the Saint Realm from Chu Yu's era.
They were dignified, grave and magnanimous with a broad outlook.
These were limitations of the times with their own pros and cons respectively.
Li Hong Ru waved a hand, and the people stopped conversing and looked towards him.
"As of now, there is only one word to describe what we must do." He said.
Someone asked, "Wait?"
"Wait my foot" 
Li Hong Ru shook his head and smiled faintly, "Fight!"
The large man who had been the earliest to interact with Chu Yu that day grinned, "I like this idea!"
But many others looked at Li Hong Ru in confusion.
Li Hong Ru explained, "His Majesty returned to unseal our city and granted me a new lease of life that should have already been lost in time. From the bits and pieces I have gathered from His Majesty, I know that someone is out to oppose him. In such situations, what do I wait for? If His Majesty says the word, then I'll go through hell to fight for him!"
"Hahaha! That's right, that's right! I have no right to participate in that heavenly war. Who knew that in the blink of an eye millions of years would have passed and those gods and devils would be nowhere to be seen. If the human realm is in chaos, then naturally we'll be the ones to end it! I'll fight whoever that goes against our Great Emperor!" The large man declared loudly.  


The eagle soars through the sky; the fish leaps over the dragon's gate; the bear roars and the tiger growls; all things in the world have a spirit. At the ends of Earth, the poles and magnetic field re-align; the world changes. The world that we were so used to, is no longer.

When myths turn to reality; when legends are no longer enigmatic, the world is now limitless.

When Maria saw the notifications, she was immediately elated.

"Yay!"

She quickly pressed on the [YES] and her [Basic Language Mastery] was upgraded to [Advance Language Mastery]

[Advance Language Mastery (0/10,000)

Rank: E

Complete understanding of common demonic language and elementary understanding of all other languages, able to read 3-line incantations and write language functions and structures

Upgradeable: Linguistics E
Requirement met: Advanced Language Master S]

When Maria saw the [Linguistics] skill being the upgradeable skill after [Advanced Language Mastery], she immediately began to tear up.

She looked up at Zelundo who was next to her with tear-filled eyes. Zelundo only smirked playfully and patted her head lightly.

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CONSOLE ME!" 

"Ahahahaha~ you're one interesting little missy! Go on, start reading those books!"

*DING* [Zelundo has tasked you with reading the library's books!]

[Quest Received: Study Time

Read every book inside of the library. While this quest is active, proficiency and EXP gained from reading is doubled.

Time Limit: 29 Days
Penalty: -100 FAV with Zelundo
Rewards: +1000 FAV with Zelundo, +100 REP, +50 INT, [Book Keeping], 100,000 EXP]

"Uhh..."

"Hey, you get some benefits if you're able to completely understand those books! Now hurry up and get started! Try and get the [Linguistics] skill before the month has ended, okay?"

"A MONTH?!"

"Hey, that's the shortest time you could take to learn [Linguistics]! No slacking off now, hurry up and begin reading!"

"Nooooo!!!"

As Maria's despaired ridden voice echoed throughout the library, Hella had just come out of the Magic Tower with a light gait in her steps. 

She had finally one upped the stupid Arch Mage geezer in the tower and they agreed to a bet that he would teach Maria about [Magic Comprehension] and [Magic Deduction] if she could learn both [Linguistics] and [Book Keeping] from Zelundo before a month had passed.

"Hehe, just you wait you stupid geezer. Our Lady Envoy will be able to learn those skills with time to spare! A million gold, a favor, plus that 5 century-old wine are in the bag, OHOHOHOHO~!" Hella roared in laughter. It was a good thing no one was there to witness her out of character moment, she quickly cleared her throat in embarrassment and skipped happily back to the Dark God's Temple.

******

3 in-game weeks had passed since Maria was given the [Study Time] quest and she was floating through the air while reading a book at her leisure. The players who had come to the library to receive a different quest had grown used to seeing the girl floating through the air while reading a book. 

It was a unique sight, but it was welcomed since she also sometimes helped players search for the specific book that they needed to complete the quest they got from the library's receptionist. Players even began calling her the Library's Angel.

"It's almost been a month...just a little bit more..." Maria said as she finished reading another book.

If Maria knew this was how long it would take to learn a skill, she wouldn't have bothered asking Hella and coming over to the library to learn anything.

What she didn't know however, that there was a simpler way to learn the skill. All she needed to do was complete the library receptionist's chain quest and acquire the [Linguistic] skill book from that.

However, the process of learning the skill which granted bonus stat points to a player's stats was left out. So in a way, Maria had stumbled upon the greatest method of learning skills, which was the manual, hardworking way. 

The process of learning skills in Unitale was divided into 3, creating the skill through repeated usage or understanding, acquiring it from a skill book, and learning it through mentorship.

Maria has already experienced 2 of these methods and now she was going through the hardships of the third method. 

It was time consuming, but the rewards brought by the process of learning the skill in this way were abundant. Just from finishing [Zelundo's Basic Language Materials], Maria had gained 10 INT. 

So if she finished reading more books, then the stat bonuses she would gain would be enormous, of course, it wasn't like every book she read gave her stat points, only a select few did.

From a gamer's perspective, all that hard work was worth it. It was just like grinding for experience points, but instead this was for grinding stat points. Every addition to one's stats was a big boon. 

This was especially so since Unitale heavily relied on stats and currently, the only known way to gain stat points was through leveling up, fulfilling special quests and objectives that rewarded Free Stat Points. 

So this mentorship was an unexpectedly great find. It had to be mentioned that in order to be eligible to learn from a mentor, one needed a High Ranking NPC's recommendation and personal referral. 

In order to get that, a player needed to have high favorability with a High Ranking NPC, something that Maria had already acquired so early in the game.

High Priestess Hella practically worshipped Maria for being the Dark God's Envoy. Her favorability with the NPC was already elevated to a high value and she was still earning more through interaction and by completing her quests.

For now, only Maria had learned about this mentorship function that the NPCs provided, but she didn't understand the significance of it yet.

******

"Hey Mary, let's go questing and hunting later~" Lizzy said while the girls were eating lunch in the school's cafeteria. 

When Maria heard her, she couldn't help but cast Lizzy a sad look and say, "Sorry Liz, I can't...I'm stuck learning the [Linguistics] and [Book Keeping] skills at the library..."

"Huh? It's already been over a week and you still haven't learned it?!"

"...please don't remind me..." Maria replied in complete dejection.

Maria still hadn't earned enough proficiency to upgrade her skill to [Linguistics]. She was also only a couple of books away from completing [Study Time] and getting [Book Keeper] as well.

Even until now, Maria didn't understand what the [Book Keeping] skill was for, but since the requirement to finish the quest was to actually read ALL of the books inside the library, she could only continuing trudging forward.

She enjoyed reading the books, but whenever her friends talked about hunting and grinding their levels while at school, Maria couldn't help but feel dejected and left out. Her friends had already broken past level 50 and had already gone through their class advancement quests and upgraded their classes.

"Mary...what quest are you doing? Y'know, on the forums in the guide section, the [Linguistics] quest was fairly easy and you could practically complete it in 1 day!"

"Huh?"

Lizzy pulled out her phone and opened up the Unitale Forums. She opened up the player made guides and quickly found the [Librarian's Request] quest and showed it to Maria.

"Hm? I didn't know about this..."

"Really?"

Amanda looked at Maria and asked, "What quest are you doing right now? It's obviously not this, right?"

"Y-yeah...it's called [Study Time]..."

"[Study Time]? That's new, so who's the quest giver?"

"The Library's Director, the old geezer Zelundo!" Maria said in anger. "At first it wasn't [Study Time], instead it was something called [Learn How to Read 1], but that stupid, lying, oppressive—"

Amanda exclaimed when she heard Maria's words. "Library Director? No way! You normally wouldn't be able to meet him unless you have a high reputation and a huge amount of favorability with the Library's Receptionist!"

Maria tilted her head in confusion and said, "Really? But I met him right when I entered the library! Of course, Miss Hella was the one who brought him down to meet me and I just followed after him to the library's upper floors and he issued out a quest to me..."

"R-really? And the quest reward is [Linguistics], right?"

"Yeah, and something called [Book Keeping], not sure what that is...he also gave me the [Basic Language Mastery] which could upgrade to [Linguistics]...I just need a little bit more proficiency, but it took 3 in-game weeks just to get over 98,000 proficiency points, dammit!" Maria burst out in anger. She had been reading numerous books for the past week and hasn't been able to go out and grind some monsters.

Zelundo had basically locked her inside the library at this point. She kept complaining that it was imprisonment and a violation of human rights, but Zelundo scoffed at her and told her she wasn't even human to begin with so it didn't even matter!

By now, Maria had nearly read all the books inside the library, only a couple tens of books left before she finished the [Study Time] quest and maybe raise her [Advanced Language Mastery] to S rank. She did gain a whole bunch of INT and experience from finishing a book. The experience she gained had even leveled her up twice and her INT value had grown to an absurd amount. 

However, Maria still hadn't opened her [Status] window so she didn't know of this just yet.

"I'll probably finish later today, so I'll contact you once I'm able to leave the library!"

"Okay, that's good. By the way, you should join our guild already! We finally pooled enough funds together and we successfully created our guild!"

Universe Tales. The new VRMMORPG that supported the Full Dive system with the game's settings boasting a 99% likeness to reality.

Enter Maria Heltania, a smart and bright high school girl who's unfortunately directionally and technologically challenged. Being forced by her best friend to play the new VRMMO Universe Tales, she decides to be an Angel. Only to be met with misfortune right from the start because of her unique habits, what more lucky or unlucky events could possibly fall upon this young girl?

"Uhh...Little Miss, I don't think this is the Quest Location."

"No! This is definitely the place!"

"...but we're in the middle of a battlefield..."

"The map clearly said-- Oh wait...it's upside down...or maybe right side up...?"

"..."

* Boom! * * Boom! * * Boom! * * Boom! *
 
Aunt Nat dropped a mountain of books on a small table where I am sitting.
 
"Understood? Good fighting boys are only popular until the end of elementary school! When you reach high school, your intellect is what makes you popular!" Aunt Nat said to me in a bossy pose.
 
Again? I want to know what's this popularity fixation is! It's not like I'm going to go to high school! I live on a hill!
 
"Are you okay, Aunt Nat?" I asked feeling a little strange. How did she recover from all those injuries in just one day? Is she even human!? And where did she get these new clothes from? As far as I know, she didn't store clothes in this house, especially jeans and a leather jacket ...
 
"Hmm? I'm fine, don't try to change the subject!"
 
"It's not like I'm trying to change the subject ..." I mumbled under my breath.
 
"Anyway, read books, try to read anything that catches your interest. That source of knowledge and life experience will be your secret to winning in life! If you want to read something let me know, I don't care if it's Manga. I will buy what you want. Read as much as you want." She said to me as she sat on the couch.
 
Why is she being so kind all of a sudden? Maybe these books are some ninja trap?
 
"You don't have to be so suspicious; I didn't put anything dangerous in the books." She said with a small playful smile.
 
I looked at her suspiciously, but I decided to trust her, for now. I picked up a book that was on the stack of books on the table and look at the title.
 
"Advanced mathematics, the universe of numbers?" I said to myself out loud, what kind of ridiculous title was that? Mathematics? It's that number thing, right? I remember my mom taught me a little bit about it when I was younger, it shouldn't be that difficult, right?
 
I opened the book and started reading, but soon I get several question marks in my head. What is this!? Just looking at all these numbers will give me a headache!
 
"The books are divided into basic, intermediate and advanced levels. The book you picked up is the advanced level book, you can't understand it if you don't read the others." She said to me with a smiling face as she lay on the couch in a sloppy position. 
 
"I understand." I nodded at her and looked for a book ... But how do I know which is the basic book!?
 
"What is the basic book?"
 
"Basic knowledge books are marked with the blue label, the intermediate ones with the yellow label, and the advanced ones with the red label."
 
Ohh, was she talking about these tapes? Wait...
 
"Why didn't you tell me that before?"
 
"Why didn't you ask?" she said to me with a confused face.
 
True ... I put the book I'm holding in my hand beside me and started looking for other books to read, I picked up a book called 'What if you were Captain America?', Another ridiculous title.
 
Looking at the cover image of the book, I saw a man holding a shield wearing a glued suit. Who is this guy? Why is he wearing an outfit so close to his body? Does he have weird fetishes like that old eye patch?
 
"Who is Captain America?" I ask Aunt Natasha who was taking off her leather jacket and wearing only jeans and a black T-shirt.
 
"Ohh, don't you know who Captain America is? How rare ... take that book over there and read a little, it tells a little about Captain America's life." She said to me with a surprised face.
 
What? Should meeting Captain America be common? Is he a celebrity or something?
 
I do as she said and picked up a thick black book with the title "Steve Rogers, Captain America."
 
I started reading about Steve Rogers' life, at first I wasn't paying much attention to his life, but soon I found myself fascinated by Steve's way of life. It was incredible that even with his weakened and weak body he wanted to help others, it was incredible to see how he fought against the Nazis for freedom, he really is an incredible person, such an incredible person existed in this world? I'm really looking forward to seeing the world now!
 
After spending I don't know how much time reading the biography of Steve Rogers, Captain America, I finally got to the last page of the book, and on the last page, I found a line from Captain America.
 
"We must all live in the real world ... And sometimes, that world can be quite cruel. But it's the [American] dream ... Hope ... That makes reality worth living for. In the early 1940s, I made a personal commitment to defend the Dream ... And as long as the dream remains, even if partially incomplete, I cannot abandon it!"
 
"Wooow!! He is incredible!!" I screamed out loud waking up Aunt Nat who was apparently asleep.
 
"It is not? He's amazing, do you want to be like him?" Aunt Nat asked me with serious eyes as she sat on the couch.
 
"What are you talking about?" I asked a little confused.
 
"Huh?" apparently it was not the answer she wanted, after all, she was looking at me with a very confused expression now.
 
"I don't want to be like him, Captain America is incredible, he is an example to follow, but he is also a fool."
 
"You can explain better?" She asked seriously. Huh? Where did her usual prankster go? Weird...
 
"You see, he fought World War II, right? From his biography, I can see very well that this war was horrible ... At that moment the world needed a hero, they needed a 'Captain America', but at what cost? Steve Rogers is a hero, the greatest of all heroes, but he is also a soldier who will never be able to leave the war, he will never be able to raise a family, and even if he does raise a family, he will never be able to protect his family, after all, he will have to be saving other people ... If being a hero is someone who sacrifices himself for other people and does not earn anything in return, if being a hero is someone who lets his loved ones die in favor of other people he has never seen in his life, if being a hero means that I must do work for free and not earn anything in return besides a miserable 'thank you', I don't want to be a hero. "

Adrian Weismann is a lazy and normal boy with a weird family, there’s also a chuuni one-eyed bald pirate. Adrian's life seems normal but his mother aunt and that bald pirate aren’t. What is Adrian gonna do when he gets trained by the best spy and gets symbiote as his partner? For that you’ll have to read this to find out.

Lydia explained she found the stock of comic books in the ruins of a desk with one drawer miraculously intact. Something hit Joshua, he wondered how the paper that was several thousands year old had withstood the test of time like that. It wasn't just those comic books, the cooking book he had used before was also in similarly good condition. He had Luna analyze the paper, its composition was very different that sheet of paper used on Earth, making it much more sturdy and able to be preserved for millennia. 

In any case, he examined the comics. Looking through the covers revealed they were all part of the same series which Luna translated as 'The Globulous Adventures of Nathalie Tangai, Private Incinerator'. Just looking at the title, he was able to fix two words for Luna's dialect. After they ate dinner, he didn't waste time and started to read the series. 

Nathalie Tangai was a young private investigator living alone with her magical cat Salami who had the ability to turn into a tiger when faced with danger. One day, she received a letter informing her that her uncle Maximilian had passed away and left her a manor. Obviously, the place was haunted so she had to perform an exorcism with the help of an alcoholic priest. 


Once the place was safe, she discovered the manor was once the headquarters of an evil cult wearing penguins masks. That's when the main antagonist made his entry, a man going by the name of 'Baron Viktor', a master of disguises whose goal was to access some ancient documents leading to a mythical treasure hidden in the manor. Nathalie had the brilliant idea to memorize all the documents thanks to her genius intellect and burned them all once she was done.


The series then turned into a bizarre murder mysteries series as Nathalie traveled around the world to look for the treasure while Viktor kept chasing her in a new disguise every adventure while always committing murder for some dumb reason. For example, one case had Viktor disguised as a snake charmer and he murdered a sailor with a tankard, to have the local innkeeper accused of the murder. However, Nathalie proved he had used the tamed snake to smash the sailor with the tankard in question. 

Halfway through the series, a major twist happened in the story: Viktor was revealed to be her long lost twin brother who was kidnapped as an infant by the cult. When he realized it, he saved her life by protecting her from the evil Penguin Lord Nico who was the true main villain and died in the process. 

Heartbroken, Nathalie took possession of the treasure, which turned out to be a time machine. She used it to go back in time and prevent her brother's kidnapping. This created an alternate reality that soft rebooted the series as Nathalie & Viktor started a detective agency together in that timeline. 

The rebooted series involved them traveling around the world and solving ridiculous cases against all odds. If you thought the snake charmer story was ridiculous, it was nothing to what transpired in the second half of the series. The finale of the series took them on a rocket ship patrolling around the moon to face the penguin cult and their master, Lord Nico. Nathalie defeated him by feeding him bagels for some reason. The story ended with the siblings going back on their planet but along the way got absorbed by a vortex leading them to another dimension and therefore, new adventures. 

Joshua didn't know this, but it should come to a surprise to no one those new adventures never came, the series which had been losing steam since the 'reboot' actually got canceled. 

As you might have guessed from this little summary of the 'plot', this series was probably written by either someone on drugs, someone badly advised by their editor or someone even crazier than Joshua. It must, therefore, not be a surprise to you that Joshua loved every freaking moment of this utter nonsensical plot and even cried several times. 
In any case, reading the series took a good part of the night, he could have sped up with Luna's help but he was having so much fun with this dumb series he just relaxed and enjoyed the ride. He didn't neglect his main objective, mind you. His knowledge of Easan was making great progress. 

In the meantime, Catherine had a similar idea to help improve Luna's knowledge of the language. She entered the recreational room, picked a random board game box and looked for the manual. The game was a bizarre variation of chess and there were illustrations on how the several pieces were allowed to move. She managed to establish a basic set of rules with Luna's help and played a round against Lydia. Some parts didn't seem right so she made a few adjustments. They repeated the process until they got a game that mostly made sense before moving on to another game. That one turned out to be some variation on Monopoly so apart from Joshua, who was busy reading the comics,  everyone joined in for the game. While some rules had to be improvised, they did have fun. Considering the nature of the mission, this moment of relaxation was pretty beneficial to the party's morale. There were a few other games but by the time they were done with their current round, it was close to midnight so the group decided to call it for the night. 

The next few days passed by quickly, Catherine and Joshua spent their time improving their vocabulary slowly increasing the difficulty of the material. After running out of board games and recipes, they moved on to individual documents. Most of them were still too complicated, but they picked up a word here and there. One day, The twins stumbled upon a couple of novels of various genres which was a blessing for them. Catherine wasn't very interested in those fictional stories so she let Joshua handle them while she continued to read documents. 

The first book was a horror novel involving a horrible monster killing people in terrible ways. While Joshua found it lackluster, mainly cause the protagonists were all morons who kept splitting up, he had to admit it was pretty useful to learn how to translate various causes of death. Have you ever wondered how one said: 'Thrown into a giant spaghetti machine, torn apart and served to unsuspecting restaurant clients' in Easan? Well, neither had Joshua but now he knew how to say it. Ultimately, the monster was revealed to be vulnerable to soap and was tricked to enter a washing machine where he got locked in and dissolved. He wondered if this was some kind of hidden marketing ploy to boost the sales of washing machines. Anyway, he didn't linger on it too much and moved on. 

The next one he picked up turned out to be an erotica novel. Obviously, it was terribly written. Regardless, he read it, after all, considering half the text consisted of 2 people alternating yelling 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAH' it was fairly easy to follow. Actually, this one was more instructive than the horror novel, as it greatly helped him identify the word referring to certain body parts. His method of figuring them out was quite pragmatic, considering what happened to each part, he just had to figure out what was possible and what wasn't. Joshua, who had been so moved reading that dumb comic, finished the novel in one go, his expression remaining stoic all the time. He was glad when he finished it, in a sense that novel was so bad it was more disturbing than the horror one. 

In any case, he finished story after story. Despite the bad luck he had with the first two, some of the books were actually pretty good. His favorite book was the story of a young baker going on a quest to create the greatest bread recipe ever. By the time he was done with all of them, his level in Easan was pretty good and it was time to resume his research. 

He checked Luna's database and brought for the book about runes he had tried to read before and was glad to see the system was able to translate most of it this time. Therefore, he headed back to the library. He could try to make the rune that had exploded in his face again, but he preferred to check for safer models first, that one was still only half translated. He found a couple of purely theoretical books and while they were hard to understand, he still learned from them. Even with Luna's help, it took him two days to read all the books present but when he was done, he felt like he was ready to accomplish wonders. 

Well either that or he would accidentally cause a massive amount of destruction.

After dying, our main character found himself summoned by a young woman. She comes from a long line of summoners and had expected to partner up with a powerful being, like the rest of her family. Instead, she summoned a computer programmer, who from now on will be living inside her head. Powerless, he's unable to help her with the upcoming war. Disappointed that neither of them had been blessed by fate with some divine abilities, he decides to build a computer system inside her head himself.

Dear reader,

The writer speaks
Tenebrous thoughts
Of age old dreams...
I have read and continue to read many eastern fantasy webnovels. They sparked my interest ever since I watched a chinese drama and heard that it was a book adaptation. I found the translation, read it and went on a journey that brought me to discover eastern fantasy webnovels. I jumped in willingly and haven't looked back yet. (Yup, I've basically given up on other genres right now.
So why this book then?

Reason number 1:
Well, i just got tired of reading the same thing all over again. Granted, I get surprised now and again by a writer, but honestly most of the main characters we see are just in it for… what exactly? I guess revenge, the ladies and let's not forget the ego trips.
Hmpf!
But it gets tiring after after the nth mc constantly at odds, constantly fighting with the people and the world around them.

I've dropped several books because of the constant fighting (I understand the need to raise the stakes but please give my poor old heart a rest). Catch my breath before the next canon fodder appears to be the mc's next stepping stone to becoming the world's greatest fighter). Don't even get me started on the horrible sex scenes; products of deluded minds (is romance dead? Woo a girl a bit before jumping her, will ya?)

Reason number 2:
I have read web novels with female protagonists, but apart from only one exception, female protagonists are limited to the clan or the city. Most of these books have to do with evil and annoying stepmothers and even more evil and annoying flower snake step sisters. I always ended up wondering if the kind of a story with a female protagonist in a sect could work? Is that even possible? So i took up the challenge. Only time will tell how it pans out. It might be exactly what i envisioned or transform into something else. 

I also wanted a more or less wholesome story that didn't make me break into hives because it was chock full of someone's outlandish sexual fantasies or fanservice.

If people weren't writing what I wanted to, I had to do it myself. I am by no means an accomplished writer, but I am up to the task.

Cultivating Karma came into existence after almost a year of dreaming and planning. It follows our heroine, Bai li yue, who through a series of events transmigrates into the thousand aurora world. She will journey the world on a quest to break a curse that afflicts her. Will she succeed in cultivating karma or has her fate been already decided?

I hope you stay for the ride. Most of all, I hope you enjoy yourself while doing it.

Bai li yue has lived a tough life: a cursed life. She survives an abduction and ends up in another world. Through a chance encounter she meets a person who changes her life. The only way to survive is through cultivation. Will she succeed in cultivating karma to break her curse or is her fate already set in stone?
