This is the unedited draft of the trilogy. All three book of the trilogy are available on Amazon.

Hide and Seek is the first book of the Snow in August trilogy. This novel is centered around cancer and first love of a seemingly unrequited nature. Each of the books in the Snow in August trilogy have childish titles and adult themes.

Author:
Martin Lundqvist was born in the southern parts of Sweden. He has lived in Australia since 2012 and has been writing for six years. He writes mainly Sci-Fi, Thriller, Action, Psychological Fantasy, as well as Dark Comedy genre.

When God does, a villain takes his place!

In the distant future, the wealthy villain Abraham Goldstein funds a top-secret project to travel to heaven and meet God. Upon reaching heaven he finds out that God is dead. He also finds the technology necessary to take gods place and become a god in the eyes of men. 

Many years later Abraham and his angels, a group of genetically engineered super soldiers, rule Eden; a world created to simulate the Holy Land during the Bronze Age. They rule with terror and fear following the ancient laws. 

One day, an accident turns Abraham’s closest angel Lucifer against him, an event that plants the seed of Abraham’s destruction. Meanwhile, an ancient force is conspiring in the background to make its return to our world.

In the modern world where life was easily prolonged, the life of a king was the norm, and just following the system was enough to make anyone successful.

That is the current world we live in, and a boy was bored with it.

Not just him but many have the tendency at one point of life where they would get bored of it. It either may be too hard or easy for them.

Time by time, a challenge obstructs their flow of life. This may give color to their life but the opposite can still be true otherwise.

It's complicated, but what's not when dissected? People tend to look at things in general, making it seem simple.

Now back to the boy, his name is Cass and he is also bored with life like some. However, he has a unique reason why: he was too talented. 

He can pick up anything and learn it with ease. Cass is a prodigy at anything. Even in love, he has lust and needs of course, but girls will always give themselves to him as if they were cheap, this greatly turned him off.

He's charismatic, humble, and quiet. Although his looks are not on the level of a model it's enough to make any girl fall for him with his capability.

At seven years old, he already learned how to be calm and decisive, he chose to improve himself since he understood the importance of many things at a young age.

In different fields, he excelled at them. Nothing really made his life hard.

At the age of nine, he already got his first fangirl. Her name was Felicia and she would follow him everywhere, regardless of time, location, and occasion. 

But Cass would get angry at her when she takes it to the extreme, such as: following Cass to the restroom or watching him sleep, so even with her obsessiveness, she restrained herself.

And so, by the age of nine, he already got his first stalker…

When he reached thirteen, he could literally take care of himself. He can make money as easy as picking sand at a beach. Cass became independent from his parents but he really never sought riches so he took his job casually and invested here and there where he knew will be successful.

And finally, four years later, at the present time, he became humble not because he is kind but he doesn't want much attention.

His only friend was his "childhood friend", Felicia, who is, for your information, a super-rich girl. A real-life princess who gets everything she wants, everything except Cass.

However, there is one thing Cass consider a bother, being low-key wasn't looking well for him.

He was already placed on the news in his childhood a few times even without him showing live.

Even Cass couldn't control the word that got out. When the students found out they have a "celebrity" in their school who never once flaunts and lives a humble life, they already regard him as an idol.

Cass was greatly recognized by many, making him popular. They realized how quiet he is despite his capability. The girls started to notice him and easily fall for a guy like him.

As a result:

Ding ding ding*

"Cass!", by the end of the first day of being a freshman in the Grelan Academic Facility which was a home for gifted people, and also rich kids, Felicia slammed the door open to see Cass sleeping by the window.

The soft sunlight from the burrowing sun enveloped Cass's gentle figure as he slept.

Felicia held both her cheeks and wiggled as she walked, screaming in her head, 'Kyaaaahh!!!'

But after looking at Cass's sleeping face for almost five minutes, she remembered that she had something important to say.

'But should I wake him up?', Felicia doesn't want to disturb her sleeping prince.

She shook her head, "But I am a princess, I shouldn't disturb a gentleman.", she flickered her long eyebrows, looking like a fair maiden, "My only gentleman.", but soon, she disturbed the gentle scene by her eyes shining and becoming like a hungry lion:

She then jumped aggressively, "My only chance to touch him wherever I want!", disregarding all the princess-stuff.

But she was unsuccessful as her face was blocked by a palm.

"…. touch who wherever you want???", Cass woke up with his hair combed by his fingers, making him stunningly delicious and stunningly stunning!

Felicia gulped and answered, "You, of course, I would die before I plan to touch anyone else other than you.", as if her answer was proof of innocence.

The hand that was fixing his bit-messy hair became a tool to face slap himself as he sighed, ".. you don't need to answer that in a complete sentence… and please, deny it instead of answering in the first place."

"Why would I?", Felicia held Cass' hands, "But more importantly, I have something important to tell you that is important!"

"What?", Cass ignored his hand being held as if he doesn't care anymore and was inured to the princess' whimsical behavior.

"Cass, I…", Felicia greatly blushed with her cheeks burning in red, "I want you to be mine…"

A whisper that could take any man's heart in a matter of a moment.

The wind blows as spring began between these two unordinary youngsters. The story begins with romance and it ends with romance as it seems. Although many hardships will come through, these two lovers may find peace, comfort, and love with each other. They will live a merry one with their merry family with no less than twenty children living in a rural and hidden area where nobody could disturb them.

"No.", Cass strongly said while massaging his own forehead, "… and stop creating stories in your head for the twelfth time…"

Felicia pouted and shook her head in denial, "That is the future, not a story I just made up!"

"….."

The princess just smiled in confidence before changing the topic:

"And why are you sleeping in class?", Felicia wrinkled her forehead.

By then Cass showed a soft smile and his tone changed, a little.

"School is useless for me and so, I use the time to sleep to regain my energy to read."

"Then why go to school?", Felicia murmured a comment.

"After all that, it is still better than back at home."

"The last time, you said it was because the cafeteria's meals were too delicious to be ignored?", Felicia made a suspicious look.

"No, I said it was because of the free food. I am not going to waste my scholarship.", Cass smirked.

"Ohhh, the thinking of a genius. When will I ever understand you?", Felicia tried to hug Cass as if it was normal in the flow of the conversation.

But Cass stood.

But Felicia still hugged him.

But Cass… ignored it and took his backpack and a pocketbook within it.

As he exited his classroom like a tree with a persistent koala, he walked through a wide and luxurious hall unbefitting of a school but a castle.

Cass didn't complain since he knew it would be pointless and Felicia's weight was practically nothing for him.

He even felt his clothes were being bitten from time to time. Which is weird but in Felicia's defense, she couldn't help herself.

They've been together for almost eight years and the fact that they are not officially a couple or a couple at all, is definitely a weird one.

Both were weird, one that is madly in love to another that stayed resilient for eight years even after being rejected every day, and the second who is also weird if not weirder, he who can stay adamant on rejecting every man's dream girl as if it was nothing for eight years!

Both of them knew that Cass is not interested in the same sex or is turned off by Felicia. The reason for the status quo is a bit strange and complicated.

The koala popped her head out to see the serious Cass who was reading.

She asked, "So that's the book you saved energy for?"

Cass simply nodded, immersed in the book.

"Is it really better than me?"

Cass disregarded the baseless and illogical complaint.

"This is a new book I recently got in an underrated shop."

"Underrated shop… you mean Sel's Bookstore?", Felicia smiled.

Cass looked at her with suspecting eyes, "Sometimes I don't know how you were able to follow me without me knowing."

Felicia dropped down from Cass since she was getting tired from hugging. She even wiped her sweat with Cass's clothes which made her received a pinched on her cheek.

"So you went to some small store because you already read all the books in the school library?", Felicia couldn't believe her own words since the Grelan's Library has almost all the books in the country.

"Yeah, fantasy books and I am extremely choosy. There are just a few books in the library that suited my taste.", Cass smirked.

"Extremely choosy but I know you bought three books from that store.", Felicia shook her head.

"It's a trilogy…", Cass explained nonchalantly.

"What's the story about?"

"It's called The Holy Queen and it has a pretty interesting premise."

Because of the size of the school, both Cass and Felicia just reached the school gate after a quarter of an hour.

"There was once a pure girl who was chosen by the Gods to become the one who guided the people into heaven. She became the Holy Queen of the strongest kingdom and there she waits for her adulthood to officially take the role of the Holy Queen."

"…hmmm.."

"What?"

"So what's the problem of the story?"

Cass looked at the back of the book's cover and continued, "I don't know but maybe because of demons."

"… of course, demons…", Felicia nodded.

Cass sighed, he too didn't know what caught his interest in this book for him to buy the whole trilogy.

"Currently, the Holy Queen sets out her men to find the hidden demons all over her kingdom. There is one guard who was caught…."

"And?", Felicia was interested only because of Cass not in the book.

"The next page is bl-", before Cass finished his sentence, a bright light swallowed his vision unwarned.

Cass traveled unknowingly through something the mind of a human cannot fathom. His emotions whirled and his mind was on the brink of madness. It is clear that this was not suitable for a human.

But the "travel" did not take long as Cass regained back his senses feel heat surrounding his.

Sweat uncomfortable pouring all over his body. The smooth wind that comes with little things that irritate his skin. Fatigue pierced his whole body, especially on the leg.

Then his sense of hearing came back as he heard multiple footsteps on sand, heavy footsteps.

"This demon might have a trick up his sleeve. Demons don't surrender quietly."

A hoarse voice came to him and finally, his sense of sight came back. 

There he saw were metal bars that imprisoned him and behind that was the vast land of sand.

A horse neighed in front of him that took his attention.

"The Holy Queen will never be wrong that this man is a demon."

A Holy Queen, revered by the lands and one with the Heavens met the only obstacle in her life.

Lately, due to the continual popularity of God of War 4, the revenue of the shops rose sharply and drove the sales of the previous God of War games to another peak.
In fact, the price of the first God of War Trilogy was quite high for most of the players, who had low cultivation strength. God of War 4 cost 318 crystals or magic crystals!
Many players found the previous trilogy quite difficult to play with all the riddle-solving and god-killing quests. The players with low cultivation strength couldn't understand these godly-level magic spells and only used them to familiarize themselves with battles, which was why the sales hadn't been high, and many players only watched the livestreams.
However, God of War 4 was different. Many players found that the game wasn't so difficult with Atreus' help. Besides, this game featured the use of combat techniques, which were very beneficial to all players.
Furthermore, Mr. Fang's livestream and others' livestreams such as major streamer Su Tianji's livestream had great promotional effects.
Even Valkyrie Isabela loved watching Elder Su's livestream and enjoyed it very much.
"Let's buy the game too!" Elf Girl Sala urged her companions in the shop, "Even this streamer can play well in the game; I think we can do it, too!"
So, even the elf girls with poor skills bought the game, let alone others.
Mr. Fang glanced at the task of earning crystals and found that its progress had reached 61 percent, which was quite impressive. 
…
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang began to investigate sites for new branch shops and opened them one by one.
For example, a new shop was opened in the area of Phoenix-Cry Mountain, which was north to Jiuhua City and south to the Three Saint Factions in the Continent of Immortal Relics. The Orc Kingdom and Lianshan Principality got their wishes and had branch shops in their nations.
Including the new shops in Xiaoyao Cave Abode at the East Continent and the territory of the Demon Clan at the Continent of Immortal Relic, there were altogether five branch shops in the first group. There were fewer computers in the new shops than in the old ones, but they diverted many players from the bursting old shops. 
Soon, Mr. Fang planned to open the next batch of branch shops.
Obviously, as the shops expanded, they no longer nestled in one remote corner or need any promotion in the mortal world.
However, it also caused some problems.
"He grew from an unknown common mortal into an ultimate master with the power to kill immortals and gods…" From a distant place beyond the Heaven, a pair of eyes which seemed to be able to see through the Plane of Nine-Fold Darkness slightly squinted as they coldly stared at the mortal world. "Such effects are quite interesting. Very interesting."
Then, a deep and cold gaze turned from the depths of the Nine-Fold Darkness to the mortal world. "It's a real waste to allow this item to fall into the hands of the mortals."
…
"What if they don't give it up?"
"Gods' Palace, Innumerable-Immortal Sea… Immortals and Gods in Heaven!"
"All the evil demons in all abysses at the Nine-Fold Darkness…!"
The two pairs of eyes looked down at the mortal world at the same time with the arrogance of rulers who dominated over three realms and six destinies.
"It's not their decision to make!"
The moment that their gazes turned to the mortal world, the Heaven and Earth darkened!
"The sky… how come the sky turned dark?!" Countless mortals looked up at the sky in horror. They screamed and howled in panic, and some even knelt on the ground to pray.
The precious stone lands its innocent possessor in jail. They would probably be implicated in the biggest catastrophe in history!
…
- In the Canglan City Shop -
A prompt appeared on the System Interface. [The System's upgrade progress reached 80%, and the newest system information had been updated.]
"Newest system information?" Fang Qi immediately turned on the System Interface to take a look.
For the last task, the reward of 'mysterious gift bag of a mythological TV Series' that had three question marks on it had changed into a row of big characters with shiny golden lights – Investiture of the Gods!
[TL Note: Investiture of the Gods or the Creation of the Gods is a 16th-century Chinese novel and one of the major vernacular Chinese works in the gods-and-demons genre, and it was later turned into a series of movies and TV shows.]
Below it was a line of words. [When the task is 50 percent completed, the Host will obtain the right to reveal the mysterious reward - the trailer of Investiture of the Gods.]
At this moment, Mr. Fang had a bowl of instant noodles in his hands. He had just turned off the livestream and ended today's stream of God of War 4 when he saw these words. "…"
He almost choked on the noodles!
He glanced at the elves who were screaming in elation after killing a stone ancient in the beginning of God of War 4, the Cowardly Dragon who kept screaming at every turn and twist, and …
"System… it seems like you want to scare my idle customers to death, right?"
"Sir, what are you mumbling about?" At this moment, Sala looked over.
"Oh. I said that the shop will release the trailer of the new TV Series today."
"New TV Series!?" Sala said in surprise.
By now, Journey to the West had almost reached the end of the 40-plus episodes with only a few of the 81 ordeals left.
The idle players loved the TV Series the most. Unlike the TV Series, the games had riddles to solve and difficult levels, and people couldn't learn things if they were poor players.
In the previous TV Series, many people achieved breakthroughs by listening to the Dao lecture given by Patriarch Subodhi. Even the elves of the West Continent who couldn't learn stuff from the Great Sage had obtained lots of inspiration from the Dao lecture given by the grand master beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
They were surprised that there was a new TV Series!
Besides the elves who had acute hearing, the saint-level masters were also eavesdropping. Hearing his words, they walked over and asked, "Sir… are there Dao lectures in it?!"
"…" Mr. Fang rolled his eyes. "It's not released yet; how would I know?!"
"Oh. Oh. Okay…" The saint-level masters who wanted to try to get some inside information replied, "Then, we'll go and watch the trailer; we'll watch the trailer…"
…
Soon, the Jiuhua City Shop, Yuanyang City Shop, and even the newly opened shops all received the news.
The ancestral masters from the East Continent, Nalan Hongwu, and Gu Tingyun had gone to the Heavenly Realm and didn't get this information.
"The trailer of the new TV series?!" At this moment, Su Tianji who was livestreaming 'The God of War and His Illiterate and Humiliating Old Father Who Has No Sense of Direction' had just killed a boss. 
"Hey! I'll go and watch the trailer of the new TV series! Guys… you can watch the TV Series when you have time. I'll return in five minutes."
"TV Series?" Coming to watch Su Tianji's livestream after watching Mr. Fang's, Valkyrie Isabela was displeased at the pause. "What's a TV Series? What's so good about TV Series?! You'll waste five minutes of my time!
"Do you think I'm so idle?!" At the second thought, she realized that she indeed had lots of time on her hands.
"…" 
Forget it; I will take a look at the so-called TV Series trailer.
…
Su Tianji and the cultivators in different shops immediately turned on the new TV series in the Super Theatre.
[As the poem goes:
Pan Gu separated hundun first, which gave birth to Tai Chi containing Yin and Yang which in turn derived the four symbols.
The Heavens were born at Zi (first) Hour, the Earth was born at Chou(second) Hour, and humans were born in Yin (third) Hour, and the saint named You Chao taught people how to build shelters to hide from beasts.
Sui Ren discovered fire so that people can cook raw food, and Fu Xi drew eight trigrams and created the system of Yin and Yang.
Shen Nong tasted herbs to find medicines, and Xuan Yuan created the system of ceremonies and marriage…]
[TL Note: This poem is describing the events in Chinese Mythology in order.]
On the screen, the Heaven separated from the Earth, the stars moved, and gods stood in rows as a golden list appeared between the Heavens and Earth!
"Immortals, gods, mortals, and ghosts are divided into their respective categories today and will thus not fall to the ground and become ignorant weeds. The Supreme Primeval Lord of Heaven commands gods from all directions to take part in the investiture!" The booming voice seemed to come from Heaven. It resonated in the world that Fang Qi was in like the huge bell ring when the Heaven was separated from the Earth!
Then, they saw four big golden words lighting up as if they were supported by the gods and were bathed in radiant golden lights from prehistoric times - Investiture of the Gods!

Darth Vader is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He is a primary antagonist in the original trilogy, but, as Anakin Skywalker, is the main protagonist of the prequel trilogy. Star Wars creator George Lucas has collectively referred to the first six episodic films of the franchise as "the tragedy of Darth Vader".[1]

Originally a Jedi prophesied to bring balance to the Force, Anakin Skywalker is lured to the dark side of the Force by Palpatine and becomes a Sith Lord. After fighting a lightsaber battle with his former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi in which he is dismembered, Vader is transformed into a cyborg. He then serves the Galactic Empire as Darth Vader until he redeems himself by saving his son, Luke Skywalker, and seemingly killing Palpatine, sacrificing his own life in the process.[2] He is also the father of Princess Leia, the secret husband of Padmé Amidala, and grandfather of Kylo Ren, the main villain of the sequel trilogy.

The character has been portrayed by numerous actors. His cinematic appearances span the first six Star Wars films, as well as Rogue One, and he is referenced in both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. He also appears in television series (most substantially The Clone Wars) and numerous iterations of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, including video games, novels, and comic books.

Darth Vader has become one of the most iconic villains in popular culture, and has been listed among the greatest villains and fictional characters ever.[3][4] The American Film Institute listed him as the third greatest movie villain in cinema history on 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains, behind Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates.[5] His role as a tragic hero in the prequel trilogy was met with positive reviews.[6][7]

Name

Series creator George Lucas initially wrote the series' main villain as separate from Luke Starkiller's father Annikin [sic]. Various combinations of names for the character were built upon the phrase "Dark Water". Then Lucas "added lots of last names, Vaders and Wilsons and Smiths, and [he] just came up with the combination of Darth and Vader." After the release of The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Lucas said the name Vader was based upon the German/Dutch-language homophone vater or vader, meaning 'father', making the name representative of a "Dark Father".[8] However, there is no evidence that Lucas conceived of Vader as Luke's father before 1978.[9] Other words which may have inspired the name are "death" and "invader",[10] as well as the name of a high school upperclassman of Lucas's, Gary Vader.[11][12]

As no other character with the title "Darth" was introduced until the release of The Phantom Menace (1999),[b] some viewers interpreted it as the character's first name, in part because Obi-Wan Kenobi addresses him as "Darth" in the original film.[13] The moniker is bestowed upon Anakin in Revenge of the Sith (2005) upon his turn to the dark side of the Force.

Director Ken Annakin's films Swiss Family Robinson and Battle of the Bulge influenced the original trilogy,[14] leading some to believe that Anakin was named after him. Lucas's publicist denied this following Annakin's death in 2009.[15] Anakin and Luke's original surname "Starkiller" remained in the script until a few months into filming Star Wars, when it was dropped due to what Lucas called "unpleasant connotations" with Charles Manson and replaced with "Skywalker".[16][c]

Daniel thought his son's nanny was nothing more but a pretty face. He thought wrong, nalaman nyang maliban sa maamong mukha ay tuso at mukhang pera rin ito. Katibayan ang perang sinisingil nito sa kanya kapalit ng pagsesante nya dito. He offered to marry her instead and tripled the money she was asking him. He was
thinking he has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Pero paano kung makialam ang pakialamerang puso?

Ben- " Teenagers, growing hormones they never change."

I died twice, and I will do the same again to protect the people I love.


My name is [Censored] And this is my story.

This story might be cliche and trash note I'm just doing this for fun with the ideas I had in my head, your welcome to drop if you want to.

There was a concept called the Dark Forest Rule[1], which essentially meant that the universe was like a dark forest and each civilization inside was a hunter with a gun, sneaking through the woods like ghosts.
The hunters must exercise extra caution as the dark forest was full of hunters like themselves. Any signs of exposure might result in themselves being destroyed by other civilizations.
Now, the situation in the forest was the same. Neither the Heavenly Network nor other organizations knew the exact location of each other and the exposed teams would put themselves in an unfavorable position.
This was also why the Heavenly Network operation squad was so careful when they approached the campfire.
The squad leader could even imagine how other enemy teams approached the campfire like them. Then, they would be overjoyed seeing that there was only one boy here, and soon they would be engulfed in desperation…
After all, who would dare to set up an open campfire in a dangerous forest like this? Naturally, people would be attracted to the fire as all of them were here to kill. It would be easier for them with each enemy erased from their map. In any case, it was not a PC game and no rewards could be claimed if you managed to be the last man alive.
Instead, cutting your enemies' ears and bringing them back had a higher chance of getting you some rewards.
That was what had truly happened on the battlefield. Lu Shu was exasperated when he saw the right ear of every Heavenly Network martyr at their campsite was missing.
Now, Lu Shu smiled at the operation squad and explained, "It's more convenient this way. I call it 'the anti-Dark Forest Rule'. It saves me the trouble of having to go and find them myself."
That rendered all the squad members in shock. It was their first time to hear such a plausible excuse for a fishing strategy like that.
"You can try my method. It's very efficient," said Lu Shu.
"It's okay. Thanks…"
The entire squad was dumbstruck. This boy's lack of fear stemmed from his extraordinary combat abilities. Judging from the number of corpses around him alone, he must have attracted at least three squads. Plus the enemies he claimed to have killed in the eastern parts of the forest, the boy might have slaughtered at least four squads!
The squad leader gestured one of his members to investigate the situation in the east. The man came back, stuttering in shock, "He destroyed at least four more squads over there…"
In other words, Lu Shu had killed more than eight squads on one night with the same strategy.
In the beginning, Lu Shu could simply sit there and wait for people to come for him. But as the corpses piled up around his campfire, fewer would fall for his trap. Thus, he had no other choice but to chase his prey.
The squad leader was stunned. Was the boy really from the Heavenly Network? According to his knowledge, Heavenly Kings Feng and Heavenly King Li had already returned to their camp for rest. Besides, all of them knew how Heavenly Kings Feng and Li looked like.
Lu Shu grinned. "What's your name?"
"Ma Youjin[2]," replied the squad leader nervously.
Lu Shu mused, "You sound pretty rich… What's your level?"
Ma Youjin replied, "Peak of Class C. I believe that I can ascend to Class B in half a year!"
Lu Shu nodded. "Now go back. The area in front is too dangerous for you."
"No way," said Ma Youjin, "I'm a soldier and I fear no danger. We plan to ambush them at Ladder River and kill more enemies."
Lu Shu studied Ma Youjin closely and smiled. "Head north. The Tiger Back area is really too dangerous for you."
"We are not cowards," said Ma Youjin, slightly annoyed. The enemy invasion into the Changbai Mountains had set the entire Heavenly Network on fire and everyone was willing to risk their life in regaining the national territory. "If all of us back down because it's dangerous, who's going to fight for our country?"
Lu Shu smiled. He stood up and patted the dust of his clothes. Then, he said, "Me."
Under the squad's astonished stares, Lu Shu disappeared into the dark forest. His figure was tall and sharp, like a sword that pierced through the sky, allowing the first ray of sunlight to sip through the clouds.
...
In the Liuhai Lane, the Capital, Nie Ting was ready to set off. A jeep was waiting for him in the lane, and the people following in attendance were elites like Hao Zhichao.
Dressed in the Heavenly Network uniform, Hao Zhichao and the rest stood outside the courtyard quietly in respectful attention.
They were the last group heading to the Changbai Mountains. Finally, the day that all of them were looking forward to had come.
Now that Nie Ting's invisible storage equipment was no longer in use, he hung the black iron case on his back. Then, he faced the house and said, "I've got to go."
The doors, who had remained shut for two days, suddenly opened widely. With a book in his hands Shi Xuejin walked out and said, "Give me a moment and I'll find you a solution… Wait, where's my walnut tree? My tall walnut tree?! You should at least leave some trunks behind after you chopped it down, right?"
It had been two days since the last time Shi Xuejin stepped out of his room. He had been looking for a remedy for Nie Ting.
"Lu Shu took it away…" Nie Ting said after a moment of silence.
"From Shi Xuejin's distress, +666!"
Then, Shi Xuejin reiterated, "Don't ever use it unless out of absolute necessity!"
"I know," said Nie Ting with a nod of understanding, "Lu Shu has probably entered the central area of Changbai Mountains because the front line has been pushed back eastward again. I will only use it as a last resort, but… I cannot be that selfish because I have to protect the future of the Heavenly Network. Our people are risking their lives for our country, and I should be by their side."
Shi Xuejin raised his hands a little, and then lowered them again helplessly. "Never mind. I can't persuade you. You have known your own way since you were young."
In fact, Shi Xuejin also knew himself well. Otherwise, he would not aspire to be well-versed in the Three Teachings and open a new yet risky road.
Nie Ting turned and walked away. When he was about to reach the gate, he suddenly looked back and smiled. "I wasn't mistaken about Lu Shu, was I?"
Shi Xuejin smiled too. "Did you not suspect that he's a demon king just a while ago? Although he can't destroy the Earth, he's pretty talented at destroying good moods. Now that he's on a killing spree, it's no longer an exaggeration to call him the Demon King."
Nie Ting pondered over it and asked, "What do you say if he becomes the next leader of the Heavenly Network?"
Shi Xuejin replied impatiently, "He'll mess it up. Don't even think about it."
"True." Nie Ting agreed. Then, he turned and boarded the car.
As the fleet of black jeeps sped eastward, Nie Ting closed his eyes to rest on the rear seat. The logo on the cars was a clear sign that the fleet belonged to the Heavenly Network.
After some hesitation, Hao Zhichao, who was sitting on the front passenger seat, asked, "Heavenly King Nie… Lu Shu has killed countless people this time. Are you not worried that he may lose himself?"
"Rest assured," replied Nie Ting calmly, "Heavenly King Shi once said that he has a heart of gold."

Magical energy has come to this world; Lu Shu could only stare as one powerhouse after another appear.

Looking at his own peculiar ability, he exhaled a breath of cold air.

Dog balls!

...

This is a story of how Lu Shu used poisonous chicken soup to become the Demon King

Translator Synopsis:

This is the story of an orphan, Lu Shu. He is not any regular orphan, but a metahuman experiencing the changes in himself, his country and the world during the dawn of the magical era. Watch as Lu Shu embarks on a journey to hone his peculiar abilities together with his sister, the adorable and charismatic Lu Xiaoyu. Along the way, they’ll encounter supernatural events, obstacles and even the most powerful people in their country. How will Lu Shu make the best of his abilities and oust his never-ending list of rivals and opponents?

Sorry, things keep popping up lately and there are too many tasks to keep track of. After the recent failure of my Amalgam Xianxia, I've been thinking of bringing back an old story of mine in its place.

I've already thought about what I'll do after ending this Arc, and to keep up with the current writing trends, I'll be writing Battlefield Restart 3 after this Arc is finished rather than Battlefield Restart 2- An Adventure Beyond Greatness. The reason being is that not only can that story tie in perfectly into earlier entries but also independently exist by itself.

The story will be called Battlefield Restart 3- An Ascendance Beyond Destiny, and will be more about the 'growing up' aspect of Idealism Vs Cynicism and the concept of 'Hero Squads'.

I know writing a the last story in a 'trilogy' before the first story is being too out there and weird, but I feel as if such a story I'm thinking of will keep up with the trends and invite that feeling of nostalgia.

If Battlefield Restart- An Identity Beyond Self is a story of an Isekai'd MC, and Battlefield Restart 2- An Adventure Beyond Greatness is a mete deconstruction of The Hero's Journey, Then Battlefield Restart 3- An Ascendance Beyond Destiny is about self-betterment (as cheesy as it sounds... Meh, this has Magical Girls anyway).

The story is built like Reincarnator but with less set goals. He aims to stop an Apocalypse by 'creating Heroes' but that in itself has already failed as a plan the first time. The last fighters of Earth just before the humanity became extinct (because they died as well) were the 'Contractors' of the MC of the previous entry in this trilogy (BR 2, basically).

The main character will be 'Mr Mascot', someone who is closely related to things that happened in both the first Battlefield Restart and its sequel. A guy who was the 'Hero Forger' in the past.

He is sent back in time to try again. Although I say this story is like Reincarnator, he has a lot more cynicism and a lot more softer heart than the guy in that story. A guy who can't fight by himself.

Unlike others in his team that could have been sent back, like those who can rewrite reality or are essentially immortal, he is sent back because only he is great at bringing people together, as the rest of them are too reliant on their overpowered Gifts.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that there will be delays but I'll make sure to get this Arc ended with a more satisfying conclusion than last time (in my own perspective). I hope to finish this soon! 

Thank you for reading! 😊

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.
