"Hello, again. I see you're going to stay here for the night again?" The landlord asks Venture the moment he enters the building, where the landlord is sweeping the floor with a broom.

"Yes, Miss Cope." Venture response.

Cope is a short blonde-haired middle-aged woman, with brown eyes. Someone who is quiet, but at the same time strict when needed. Also, based on her name; Venture wonder what kind of [Skill] and [Title] she possesses to have a name like that.

All Venture knows is that Cope is someone who doesn't ask many questions unrelated to renting a room in the apartment.

"Would you like to pay now or after you leave?" Cope asks Venture, as she stops sweeping for a moment.

"I'll pay now." Venture hand over 15 bronze coins over to Cope, who just put it in her right pocket before giving Venture a nod before completely ignoring him afterward and resume sweeping the floor.

Venture didn't find this offensive and just walk up the stairs. While thinking about that after finding a stable job and a good salary. Venture will for sure find a better place to live in because this apartment doesn't come with locks. So anyone could just come in and out of other people's rooms. However, Venture just thinks that Cope has some sort of [Skill] and [Title] that prevent people from coming here to live for free and prevent others from sneak in other's rooms. But, this also means Cope can also allow people to come in.

Since on the first night here; Venture wasn't given a key to the room, he was staying and there was no luck on the door to the room. However, Venture noticed that some of the rooms were locked somehow, even though there was no lock or anything, that prevent others from entering the room without permission. Of course, there were some rooms that were unlocked, with no one inside. This means these rooms were for anyone to take for themselves, either by paying the rent fee before or after staying.

Venture didn't want to find out what happens if someone doesn't pay the rent fee after staying for the night. Plus, Venture learned from Cope, that there no option of staying more than a night and anyone comes in first, gets the room first while those that came late have to find some other place to stay. So yeah, Venture is convinced that Cope has a [Skill] and [Title] related to owning this apartment, to know when rooms are available and when it is not, including among other things.

And it looks like Venture arrived on time to rent a room, because, among the total of 5 rooms on the second floor, there was one room left. So lucky for Venture or else he has to go somewhere else, that may or may not cost more than 15 bronze coins per night.

Entering the last available room; Venture closes the door and sat on the small bed that just barely fit his size, which is the only thing in this room, other than that, there is a small window just the opposite of the door. Besides, these two things, there is nothing else.

Taking out all the money he has and Venture counted 1 silver coin and 7 bronze coins. With 15 bronze coins used to pay for the room and 10 bronze coins to buy a decent meal to eat today, that is enough to keep Venture full for the deal as long he doesn't perform any heavy physical activities.

Going by the amount Venture has currently. He can stay in this apartment for 7 days if he doesn't spend any on food at all, which is impossible. Therefore, it would be a few days, maybe 2-3 days if including purchasing food to not allow the physical fatigue to raise up too fast due to hunger.

Venture picks up one of the bronze coins, debating or not to gamble with it or just wait until he down to his last coins before having to take a big risk to gain more money.

Gritting his teeth; Venture decides to gamble, after all, why even have a [Unique Skill] if one not using it at all?

Therefore, Venture will do another coin flip, where heads he will find a stable job that solves his present solution of low on money to live in this city tomorrow in the morning and tails for not finding one tomorrow in the morning.

Flipping the coin, where it flips in midair multiple times before landing right back in Venture's hand, ending up with heads. Much to his relief, because he won't have to waste the other 6 bronze coins to boost his luck in finding a job while the one that was used to gamble disappear.

Venture let out a sigh of relief, that tomorrow's morning. He'll be able to find a stable job that would help me move out of this small apartment room and have enough money to feed himself.

With that out of the way; Venture lay down on the bed and close his eyes, to sleep. Eager to find out what kind of job he'll find in the morning.

-LIABG-

As the sunlight shines into the room, right over to Venture's closed eyes just enough to cause Venture to wake up. Venture slowly open his eyes before quickly closing it due to the sunlight almost blinding him.

The first thing Venture did upon waking up is to check his status after sitting up from the bed he slept on.

Name: Venture
Title: [Gambler of Fate] - You are fate's gambler and making the impossible possible.
Health: 100/100%
Physical Fatigue: 12/100%
Mental Fatigue: 0/100%
Unique Skill: [Everything Is A Gamble] - The user is able to use anything to gamble with fate. [Price]: The medium used will disappear afterward.

It looks like Venture will have to buy something to snack on later, while on a job hunt. While the mental fatigue is back to 0%, thanks to sleeping last night.

Stretching his muscle for a bit. Venture got off the bed and head out, whereupon heading downstairs. Cope was nowhere in sight, but that doesn't concern with Venture since he barely knows Cope nor did he want to test his luck to find out what her background is.

-LIABG-

Upon leaving the building, Venture found a nearby food stall just a couple meters on his left. That's selling hot dog for the price of 2 bronze coins, cheaper than a single apple. But, Venture won't question why a hot dog is cheaper just that it's enough for him to buy a few to satisfy his hunger.

It took 3 hot dogs before his physical fatigue went back to 0%. So, now Venture is down to 1 silver coin. As he used up all his bronze coins on the hot dogs to fill his hunger.

No regret on Venture's part, for he will get a job soon, as long the morning didn't end. Then, he'll have a higher chance of finding a decent job no matter what. If Venture doesn't meet the requirements of the job or doesn't like it. Venture will just look for somewhere else. As long the duration of today's morning isn't over, then Venture has lots of opportunities.

-LIABG-

So for almost the entire morning; Venture did his absolute best to find a job that could support him for this duration stay in this world. Yet, near the end of the time of the morning being over. Venture failed to obtain a job and he has been to many shops, but nothing. Either he didn't have the right type of [Skill] for the job or the place wasn't looking for hire at the time. Hell, Venture even tried to find labor jobs. Still nothing.

Though, Venture guesses it's because he more on the skinny side type of body, which made people not wanting to hire him for labor work.

Sitting down among the many wooden benches in the street of people selling many things outside. Venture let out a sigh of disappointment as he looks at the sky.

Venture thinking about the words he used for the gamble last night and instantly found the problem and that he used the word: Find. Instead of the word: Getting, which would for sure give Venture a job he needed. But, that's all he got this morning. Finding stable jobs, that Venture would happily take. Sadly, fate is cruel and very picky about what Venture could tell.

"Excuse me, Mister."

Venture blinks and lower his head, where he sees a little boy standing in front of him. Venture would guess the kid is around 5 or 6 years old. However, what caught his attention is the outfit the little boy is wearing.

The little boy has green hair and purple eyes; wearing a dirty brown shirt that's larger than his size and white silk pants, with brown stains from what Venture could tell, that the kid must have fallen more than once or played around. As the little boy's face is also covered in dirt as well. Making it look like the kid hasn't showered in weeks or even months.

But, Venture didn't catch a whiff of any bad smells from lack of daily body cleaning. Therefore, this made Venture's paranoia to peak up.

"You need something?" Venture asks with a hint of cautious, ready to bolt right away and leave the kid behind. For all he knows, this kid could be a midget, that is pretending to be a dirty looking little boy.

"Could you help me find my mommy?" The little boy asks, where he is close to crying.

"Do you have any idea, where your mommy would be?" Venture asks back, while many thoughts run through his head. Among them is this one of those plots, where the main character would find a child, that could belong to a very important family or is one of those special people with godlike lucks of having some kind of special talent in some way, which would save the main character later on or something.

This is a huge gamble for Venture, and just like that, Venture's mind stop.

Slowly, Venture closes his eyes before opening them. As he looks at the little boy, who did his best to explain where he from and why he need help.

"So, can you help me, mister?" The little boy looks at Venture with hopeful eyes.

"I'm sorry, child. But, I can't help you at all. I can't enter the government area without any permission, nor can I just randomly ask people nearby." This is true, Venture saw a small summary, that really points out that people from the public area are not allowed to enter the government area without permission. Doing so would lead to heavy punishment.

"B-But..." The little boy looks at Venture in shock, tears started to appear.

"Child, trust me. I'm not the best person to ask. Why don't you ask someone like a patrol guard? I'm sure they will help you find your mommy." Venture is not taking this risky gamble, where this little boy would likely push him into a position that would or would not put him in danger. "In fact, there is one now. You should hurry before they leave. If you miss the chance of reaching that patrol guard, then you'll have a harder time finding your mommy, but if you do, your chance of finding your mommy is a much easier time finding her." Venture point at the patrol guard on his right, who is ordering food.

The patrol guards are easy to be found outside the rest of the common folks. For one, the patrol guards always have a blue overcoat hanging off their shoulders. Along with a special emblem attach onto the back of the overcoat that represents their ranks.

Sadly, Venture didn't get much info on the ranks of the patrol guards, just know that these special emblems can't be replicated in any way, not because no one can't do it. But, that they are afraid of doing such a risky thing. As the punishment for using a fake emblem would lead to either the culprit, having one of their limbs chopped off or into slavery. Yeah, slavery is a thing in this world.

Once the little boy heard Venture's advice. He took off and quickly head for the patrol guard before they disappear just like what Venture warned, even if it is a small chance. However, what the little boy didn't know is that he just took a gamble and Venture has already placed down the winning and losing conditions, along with what would happen to the little boy if he wins or loses.

Venture hoped the little boy didn't mind losing a few years of his life, because that was what Venture used as the medium to activate his [Unique Skill]. After all, Venture placed very importantly on the word: Time. Therefore, time is the medium and the price for the little boy must pay. Honestly, Venture is being kind by guessing the little boy losing just a few years instead of all his lifespan, whereby the time the little boy meets his mother. He will mostly die right there and then.

Actually, Venture doesn't know if this worked or not instead of seeing a physical medium disappearing, but Venture has this gut feeling that the gamble work, and with how crazy this world is; well, this gut feeling may as well come from his [Unique Skill] as a way to tell him if his gamble worked or not.

Venture will just have to do a few more tests to see the result of his [Unique Skill] working with these types of gamble or not. However, if things work out, then Venture just got more options to gamble instead of using coin flips to gamble.

In fact, Venture starting to have more idea how to use his [Unique Skill] more to his advantage as long he words the gamble correctly. Otherwise, Venture may end up crippling or killing himself due to using the wrong words in some way.

For the time being; Venture will put these ideas at the back of his head as there a few more important things needed to be done. These ideas can be done later on.

Standing up. Venture begins walking randomly as there are a few more minutes left before morning end. Since he still wanted to continue to test his luck that been boosted already, as the morning still hasn't ended just yet.

Just as the morning was coming to an end. Venture noticed something at the corner of his eyes, that just draw his attention.

Turning in the direction of what caught Venture's attention, to get a better look just to be sure he isn't seeing things and he wasn't. What before his eyes is a middle-aged man selling a blank book for the price of 1 silver coin; however, no one even glances at him after trying to beg people to buy it for a silver coin after explaining how he handmade the entire book from scratch.

Now, this would be a good time for this book to be something special in some way, where the main character could gain their plot armor up discovering the mystery of the book; however, Venture doesn't have anything on him to use to gamble if the book is actually some kind of treasure that requires a special method to use it. Yet, even then, Venture has no idea if this book just a scam and the middle-aged man is a scammer, who is just pretending, that he did so much hard work in this single book to be sold for a single silver coin.

After debating it for a moment; Venture decides to buy the book, not because he thinks it's some kind of a special book, but because he hasn't seen any shops that sell blank books so far, and buying would help Venture with an idea he wanted to try before, but couldn't due to lack of a blank piece of paper and anything to write with.

Ignoring the excited, middle-aged man and the people nearby looking at Venture like he did something foolish. But, the joke on these people. The middle-aged man, even gave Venture this special pen that never runs out of ink for some reason. Too bad, the middle-aged man ran off without explaining further into detail about the pen as he is afraid Venture changed his mind and wanted his money back.

So now, Venture is broke and only have a blank book and a special pen, that may or may not be really special with a never-ending ink. But, Venture already a solution to solve this by gambling for the pen to have never-ending ink.

Sometime Venture wonder if the number of his current problems in this world would be increased or decreased if he had come into this world with a different [Skill] and [Title]. Either way, now isn't the time for him to be distracted. So, Venture starts moving to a more less populated area; well, more like heading to the library since its the best place to be alone and without having people nearby noticed something weird happening around Venture. Unless they possess a special [Skill] and [Title] to detect Venture inside the library, but it is a risk he is willing to take.

It's a good thing the local library is free for anyone to use. The only thing that needed to worry about is damaging a book, which the person who caused the book to be damaged to pay a certain fee depending on what book was damaged. Also, there is no such thing as borrowing a book to bring home to read. Well, in this local library they won't allow people to borrow books. Other than that, there is nothing Venture needed to be worried about going to the library.

A man who has no idea how he came into this world, but just know that he read lots of stories related to what happened to him, but Venture knows that every day is a chance of him dying either from monsters, fellow humans or even due to bad luck. All Venture knows is that he need to find out why he here and how can he return home, if that even possible.

With a sulking face and manner, Kucin excuses herself and went straight to the adventure guild, selling the loot she managed to get from her recent training with Filaurel at Alfin's dungeon. With her examination coming soon, she felt that she have make quite a good progress, but the fact that she can't make Princess Alfin happy or atleast lessen her burden still outweigh those happy feeling

(I should tell Brother Azumi once he got back) [Kucin]

And in the royal library, Alfin, with the help from Filaurel, Fizumi and Aqua begin her research about the ancient device and artifact. Alfin wanted to make an ancient device called as Television or atleast something functioning similar to that so that she can relay her message to the masses. While she's on fire from her passion of research, her stepmother word, Queen Zanariah struck her mind once again, making her halt for awhile, but she continues to do her research regardless of it 

(...) [Filaurel]

Filaurel notice the slight halt in Alfin momentum, it's brief but as someone that have been tasked to guard and watch her, she managed to catch it

(I should tell Azumi about this once he come back) [Filaurel]

Not being able to encourage the one that she have been tasked to guard make her feel more frustrated, even more than what she can imagine. She mustered up her courage 

(I am her guard for now, but that doesn't mean I can't approach her as a friend, and only relying on Azumi won't help us much in the future, so...)

She try to approach Alfin before she herself halt for a moment

(Still... unlike her, I ran away... Do I have the right to encourage her) [Filaurel]

"Got it!" [Aqua]
"Shhh!" [Female librarian]
"Sorry" [Aqua]

Aqua sudden outburst startled those in the library, so much so that a female librarian have to scold her, the highest ethos of water to remain silent

Aqua then proceed to show the book that she manages to find to other

"This is..." [Fizumi]
"A theory about how the ancient device have been functioning" [Alfin]
"Yes it is" [Aqua]
"But still, can anyone of us here read it?" [Filaurel]
"Yeah... good question. The book is old and it will be understandable if we can't understand half of what's written here. Plus even if we do understand it that doesn't mean we can apply it" [Alfin]
"I see..." [Aqua]
"But that doesn't mean we have to stop here though, we can always decipher the contents and experiment with it moving forward. So Aqua, can you please help me on finding more of this book" [Alfin]
"I will!" [Aqua]
"I'll help" [Fizumi]
"Princess Alfin, how about I copied some sentences from the book and show it to any old elves around the capital, some of them might know about it" [Filaurel]
"Great idea. Well, it will take some time copying it so I'll just use a photo magic" [Alfin]

Alfin begin to take a small empty canvas from her item box and use her light magic photo and the picture of the book with the sentence quickly imprinted into the canvas. Filaurel took those canvas before asking permission to leave. That doesn't mean she will just neglect her job as she quickly send a mini tree golem into a female squad members from the first knight squad which happily replace her to guard Princess Alfin

"That was quick" [Alfin]

Alfin said that as the new female guard arrive. Alfin then begin reading and decipher the book while more and more book keep on compiling in the desk.

At certain point, Alfin ask the three of them to read some of the book to help her better understand the subject to which they comply without any sigh nor objection

Alfin begin to scribble on empty note about her finding. She more or less understand some of the contents of the book but as expected, she can only do so much with what little knowledge she have due to the language difference

(And there isn't any linguist available currently due to...) [Alfin]

She grab her pen tighter for a moment.

(Sorry, you guys got killed by the fake raja orc because of me) [Alfin]

But that doesn't dampen her spirit and continue to scribble down a note here and there until

"Princess Alfin, I managed to find someone that understands this language!" [Filaurel]
"Really!" [Alfin]
"Yes, she is an old elves lady living in the outskirts of the capital, but due to her health, she can't move around much so.." [Filaurel]
"Alright then, I will borrow some of the book and we will go there once I am done" [Alfin]
"Understood" [Filaurel]

Alfin quickly reply before Filaurel even manage to finish her sentence

its a story about a young man and the princess in a fantasy world with multiple races, live as a princess bodyguard, can they fight againts the oppression from noble, church and even those whom he supposed to protect?

Chapter nineteen:

After walking out of the study Feng Qi's face was dark enough to drip ink. The entire hallway felt like it traveled back to the ice age as he walked toward his servant. 

"Where did Princess Meng go?" He asked creating an illusion of the calm before the storm. Shadow one didn't dare to speak and only pointed in the direction Meng went. A smile lacking any humor grew on Feng Qi's face.

"Good... very good... she dares to run off after creating this kind of mess. You were right Shadow one it's about time I payed her back for her kindness."

....

Traveling toward the royal library Meng felt a shiver go down her back. Feeling paranoid she carefully looked both ways before sighing in relief. That person should be just leaving the study by now....

Mend felt a bit guilty toward Feng Qi for chaining him to her, but she knew it was the best option. In the book, one of Feng Qi's most damaging traits is the fact that he never got close to anyone. He always put some kind of distance, which soon became a habit of his. 

Without being able to connect to people he had a severe shortage of close followers. In fact they could be counted on one hand: Shadow one, Shadow two, and all the way up to five.

Considering the fact that they all acted as shadows, it would be safe to say that in the book, Feng Qi had no supporters. One man against the world might sound grand, but in the end, it's very difficult. The higher sect's went after him and all of his shadows when he later on breaks the ancient law of being a cultivator who exceeds the earth rank without being apart of a sect. He was powerful, however without lots of money or any kind of connections he was doomed to fall short of the resourceful sects. 

She had to be shameless in order to throw him off that path and on to a new one. Based off of the book, her being his fiancé shouldn't hurt his future much as in the novel he didn't have a fated love one. 

To be clear Meng didn't feel love for Feng Qi and if he did meet a girl she approved of she wouldn't mind stepping aside. All she felt for him was admiration and protectiveness. He was her only light in her past life and she would make sure that light never goes out in this one.

When Meng reached the royal library she slid inside before closing the door tightly behind her. Standing in the dark, old library gave her a sense of comfort and protection making her forget about the fear of Feng Qi finding her. 

Looking around, her eyes lit up like fireworks seeing all of the books lining the shelves. Her entire body shook with excitement as she picked up random books and flipped through them inhaling the familiar scent. 

The library seemed to never end, going so far that those who didn't cultivate couldn't see the ending. However, Meng estimated that it around 5 acres. 

A slight grin grew on her face. "Looks like a really lucked out!" She exclaimed to herself in wonder.

"Can I help you with anything?"  A old librarian walked out from behind a shelf. Seeing the beautiful child in red he couldn't help from being surprised. 

Commoners barely come to library because it's closed off from them and royals barely come because they would rather focus on cultivation than read books. 

Some of the books were about cultivation too, but because they were very hard to read many people would rather learn it from a master. Also, cultivation itself was more of something learned through experience not books. 

He quickly assumed the child must be here to fool around and felt annoyed. however, from the looks of her, she seemed to be someone of high standing so he shouldn't be rude.

Seeing the wrinkle in the old man's head, Meng could tell that he was annoyed with her, however why should she care? Books were her home she didn't need any assistance. Even though these books weren't on a computer... and seem super old... Meng toughened her stance and focused on the books ahead of her. 

"No thank you." Meng said humbly nodding her head at the librarian before walking into the sea of book. 

The librarian just shook his head before going back to his office.

Once she heard the librarians foot steps getting farther away, she started to look through books for one that could help her with cultivation. As she currently wasn't the previous Ru Gu Meng she had no idea about how to cultivate. The novel touched on the subject, but it wasn't nearly enough for her to even start to do it. As she was from an entirely different world, she needed to know the foundations for cultivation.

The advantage that she recently found out that got from transmigration is that, now when she closed her eyes and thought about the book she no longer just remembered texts, she could see images as if she were a ghost watching in the place of the narrator.

Meng felt that once she learned the basics of cultivation she should be able to copy the 'God Flying Phoenix'  method of the MC to be able to get up to the bottleneck of the martial level. She was transmigrated to this world two years before Feng Qi is exiled from the sun kingdom, which when it came to the decades it took to cultivate, was barely time at all. She needed to prepare as soon as possible.

Meng's finger glided across the books on the bottom shelf. From the names she could tell she found the right section of the library, however finding out the best one from the ocean of books was impossible. 

"Sigh. I'll start with this one then." Grabbing a book that seemed to be what she was looking for she sat down on one of the couches and started to read.

[The basics of cultivation include ten levels that are apart of the martial rank. This is the easiest level to reach as it is the beginning level. A cultivators biggest challenge is getting past the tenth level of this realm. In order to make sure that you get past this level any cultivator needs to have a solid foundation. In order to build this foundation you have to master the basics of finding your inner-self. The more of your inner-self you can find, the stronger your cultivation will be in the end. Cultivation is building up your soul making it reach bounds beyond what is possible.]

Meng's eyebrows crinkled together as she glared at the colorful language the text used. Maybe if the authors for cultivation books were more straight forward reading would actually be a popular task...

Meng Yin, a shut in, dies of a broken heart when the author of a novel kills off her favorite character. She wakes up as a mob character of that very same novel called Ru Gu Meng. 

Realizing that she had transmigrated in the same novel of the character who gave life to her horrible world, she swears to make sure that this time he won’t be the one that dies. Reborn as a princess of a lowly kingdom, Meng has to dig herself up through political turmoil and murderous sect’s to protect the only light she has left. 

Follow Ru Gu Meng into a mystical world of cultivation, demons, and magic. Where she uses her intellect, power, and instinct to carve a way for the person she will always protect. 

No matter the cost, those who harm the one’s she protects will die!

[Femaleprotagonist] [Reincarnation] [Yandere] [AntiHero]

Liu Yang was taken aback when he heard that the property would be free. But when he thought about his title, The Kingdom Champion, he understood that it would be justifiable to receive valuable property as a reward for the title.
Who in New Earth has that same title? Nobody.
Liu Yang is the first player to achieve that title. He is the first player to successfully defeat a solo Super World Boss, even if that boss is still alive.
"Sir, the first property you choose will be free, but the next ones will be paid according to their value. You will need a Points Card and platinum coins to purchase the next property. " The attendant explained the situation to Liu Yang.
If he wanted a second property, he would have to pay for it. But it would still be a long time before he got the points needed to buy another property.
For now, Liu Yang would just take the vacant lot in the north and try to take the other property in the east of the city.
"I would like to take this property then. As for the other eight, I will buy when I have the points on the card. "
"Sir, I'm happy for your purchase. And I hope you enjoy the property. Wait a moment, I will take the deed and transfer it to your name. " The attendant got up and took a book from the shelf.
After flipping through it for a while, she wrote some things using a magic pen before entering a paper for Liu Yang, he signed and stamped it. The attendant also stamped the seal of the city hall. The paper was the deed of the property in the north of the city.
The deed was placed back in the book before it shone and was pasted into the book, a copy appeared next to the book. The copy of the deed belongs to Liu Yang, this is proof that the property is his.
That book was the City Property Book, each city had a book like that. The job of the book is to record each change in properties in the city and to mark their owners.
Whenever a change happened in the properties of the city, as a change of owner. These changes were noted in the books.
The five books in the city halls were interconnected, whenever something was changed, the books were updated immediately.
The clerk was very happy with the purchase of Liu Yang, although the property was free. She would still receive a large amount of money, as she sold a large property to a very special client. The attendant would receive five percent as a commission for her sale, five percent of a million platinum coins. This is equivalent to fifty thousand platinum coins, that amount was absurdly large.
"I thank you for your help" Liu Yang checked the deed and saw that the property was already in his name. He can now start building his house on the spot.
The best people to help with the construction of the house were the girls since they knew how to manage this kind of thing. Liu Yang would ask them to help him do this later.
"Sir, I thank you for the purchase. It helped me a lot. " The attendant was happy with the result. She just needed to do one more thing to become free.
"I thank you for the services"
"Sir, can I ask for a small favor?" The attendant asked timidly. She had a slight flush on her face when she spoke those words.
"What kind of favor?" Liu Yang imagined it would be a quest.
"I wish you could help me get rid of this job" The attendant looked into Liu Yang's eyes and spoke solemnly. She wanted to change her life and quit this job as an attendant.
Ding… Ding…
Quest: Helping the attendant - The young attendant has always been anxious and afraid of her job, as she is afraid of finding a bad person who could rape her. So, she always looked forward to finding a good person to help her get out of her job and be free.
Rank: E
Objective: Do activities with the attendant.
Reward: ????
Requirement: Show a good personality "
"Accept - Refuse"
(!!!!!!) Liu Yang was shocked when he saw the quest, he never imagined that one day, he would receive a quest to do activities with an NPC. But he understood a few things from the quest.
It is because of quests like this that players must be at least sixteen-years-old to start playing. It would be very strange for a child to play this type of game.
The attendant's job paid a good salary, but she was always at the mercy of the players. If they want her body, she was obliged to give to them. It was the norm of the city hall for ordinary NPCs.
When an NPC was taken by a player, they were automatically fired to follow the player. But many of them were abandoned because they were common NPCs, for influential players, they were worthless.
"Can I ask a question first?"
"Yes," The attendant was anxious after hearing that Liu Yang wanted to ask her something. She feared that he might refuse her request, as it was a very strange thing to ask.
"What are you going to do after you leave here?" Liu Yang looked deeply into her eyes and asked. He wanted to know her answer.
"I will open a company where only women will be hired, women who were abandoned after being taken from places like this" The attendant had this dream. She wanted to build a place for women who worked in places like the city hall.
But they were taken away by other NPCs or players, and then abandoned because they were not useful.
"I see ..." Liu Yang found it amazing that the attendant had this kind of dream. This was worth being helped.
"Sir, will you help me?" She didn't know what Liu Yang's response would be. It made her very nervous.
"Can you close your eyes for a moment?"
The attendant was nervous about this sudden request, but she did what Liu Yang asked. Fear filled her heart after she closed her eyes, as she didn't know what Liu Yang was going to do.
The only thing she felt was two warm arms hugging her delicate waist while her lips were sealed and her mouth was invaded.
These sudden events shocked the attendant, but she recovered quickly. She knew what to do next.
After a few minutes of passionate kissing, the attendant snapped her fingers and a bed appeared inside the room. The bed was always in place, but it was hidden and used only when both sides were going to do activities.
Liu Yang carried the clerk like a princess before penetrating her fiercely. The attendant's perverted moans echoed through the room, but the walls were reinforced and the sound could not be heard by others outside.
The activity session lasted a few hours before the pair stopped and had a long conversation.

--------------------

The beautiful lady sat at her desk with an expression of deep thought, carefully going through the stack of papers in her hands. She was scrutinising every single word that was written, almost as though she was trying to find some rare bit of information hidden within.
This beautiful lady is none other than Crystal Goldlock, the same person whom Cyrus conveniently refers to as the demoness.
A good distance away from her, two maids stood attentively by the door, ready to tend to her every need.
At this moment, the door suddenly swung open, and a man casually walked in.
He exuded a natural air of noble disposition, and possessed a head of long silver hair. The silver hair was not a sign of old age, but the natural hair colour that every individual in the clan would be born with. Every step he took was firm, and his posture was straight. His thick fur robe only served as a boost to his majestic figure.
The instant he entered, the two maids in the room gave a curtsy in deference. 
"Clan Head." the two of them greeted in unison.
Alexander Skyhelm, Head of the Skyhelm Clan.
"The two of you may rest for the day," Alexander returned their greeting with an amiable smile. 
"Yes, Clan Head."
Even though they were supposed to be serving Crystal, with the authority that this man possessed, there was no need for them to doubt his instructions. The two of them curtsied to Crystal before quickly taking their leave.
"What are you looking at, my dear?" Alexander walked over to stand behind Crystal, voluntarily giving her a gentle back massage.
"These are the book reviews that Cyrus has done over the past week," Crystal spread out the stack of papers on the table. "Take a look."
"Hmm? That kid actually managed to do this much in just one week?" Alexander exclaimed in surprise.
He knew for a fact that Cyrus had been imprisoned in the main Clan Library, which contained only books related to magic.
Each one of these books was complex and informative, and it would usually take quite some time for someone to digest the information within.
Despite that, the pieces of paper that lay spread out on the table numbered in the dozens. 
With each piece of paper representing a separate book review, this would mean that Cyrus had been doing more than ten book reviews a day!
"Not just that, take a look at the content of each book review," Crystal prompted her husband.
But even before she said so, Alexander had already started going through them out of curiosity.
With his capabilities, it did not take long before he was done perusing the dozens of book reviews. After which, he could not help but to feel astonished!
Each of these book reviews was comprehensively done.
They were not mere summaries of the contents of the books, but provided insights on other possible angles that could be explored and the underlying meanings of the written content.
In other words, they were done in a manner that was nothing short of spectacular!
If grades had to be given to these book reviews, then they would deserve nothing less than A+!
However, Alexander was not pleased at all when he was done reading through the book reviews. Instead, a deep frown appeared on his face.
"Didn't you pass down instructions forbidding anyone from going near the Clan Library?" he asked in a solemn manner.
"I did," Crystal nodded.
"If so, then how did this happen? Who actually dared to go against my wife's instructions, sneaking in to help him with his work?" Alexander rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"I am not sure either, but this is not going to be good enough." Crystal turned around to face her husband with a resolute look in her eyes. "Since he is your son, there would always be people trying to help him in the shadows, even if it would do him more harm in the long run. There is no help it, we need to resort to extreme measures."
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Alexander was slightly taken aback by those sudden words.
Extreme measures?
What exactly did his wife mean by saying that?
***
In the Clan Library, Cyrus was holding an open book in his left hand, and a brush in his right.
His gaze was fixed on the pages of the book, quickly darting from top to bottom, left to right. From time to time, the brush in his right hand would move, taking down notes on a piece of paper.
This was the exact same thing that he had been doing for the most part of the past week.
It was an extremely tiring process, and he had almost given up when he first started.
Thankfully, the demoness was not entirely heartless, and he would be rewarded with a meal for each book review that he completed.
This was the perfect source motivation he needed in order to push on!
Now that a week had passed, Cyrus had gotten into the rhythm, and no longer felt daunted by the difficulty of reading. In fact, he was even starting to feel intrigued by the contents that he had been exposed to, finding them more and more interesting by the day.
Even when the door of the library opened, Cyrus did not bother looking up to see who it was.
Such was the extent of focus that he possessed at the moment!
However, this newcomer was not too fond of being ignored. Seeing that the kid in front of him did not even take a single glance at him, he could not help but feel slightly irritated.
"Ahem!" he cleared his throat loudly.
"Eh?" Cyrus looked up in surprise. "Uncle Grey? Why are you here?" 
"Brat, time to stop acting like you are actually doing something!" Grey laughed. "Your mother has instructed me to bring you to her."
"The demoness has decided to free me?" Cyrus' eyes lit up immediately.
Even though he had finally made up his mind to pursue the path of magic, it did not mean Cyrus enjoyed being trapped in the library all day long.
For one, the hard library floor could never compare to the comfort of his bed!
"Stop calling your own mother a demoness…" Grey found the corner of his mouth twitching wildly.
"Okay, okay, I got it!" Cyrus stood up excitedly and followed his Uncle Grey away.
Grey was not just a member of the Skyhelm Clan, but also one of the trusted aides of his father. He was well built and looked just like a typical warrior with his short silver hair and stubble.
But most importantly, he had watched Cyrus grow up since young, and always had a soft spot for him.
The relationship between the two of them had always been extremely good, and it was not just a few times that Grey had helped him out in secret when his mother was punishing him.
With Grey going along with him, even though he was about to meet with the demoness, Cyrus could not help but feel much more assured!
Little did he know that this time round, even his Uncle Grey would be powerless to help him.
It was a short walk before Grey led Cyrus into the room where Crystal awaited with a maid by her side.
The design of the room was simple enough.
Other than an exquisite hexagon platform that stretched two metres from end to end, there was nothing else in the room. There were no windows, and the only thing providing any sort of illumination was a small crystal that was shining brightly from the ceiling.
"My Lady," Grey nodded respectfully as he entered the chamber.
This was the etiquette expected of all clan members when they were in the presence of the spouse of the Clan Head.
On the other hand, Cyrus stubbornly remained silent.
"Thank you for your help, Grey." Crystal nodded to Grey in response, apparently already used to being ignored by Cyrus.
However, the next words that came out of Crystal's mouth certainly drew Cyrus' attention.
"You may leave now."
"What? Why are you asking Uncle Grey to leave?" Cyrus hurriedly held onto Grey's long sleeves. "He is not an outsider! He can listen to whatever you have to say as well!"
What a joke!
If his Uncle Grey left the room, who would be left to protect him?
"This..." held back by Cyrus, Grey could not help but shoot a hesitant look towards Crystal.
Even though he wished to accede to Cyrus' request, the one with the highest authority here was still Crystal. 
As long as Crystal insisted, Grey would have no choice but to obey her instructions. 
Seeing the desperate look in Cyrus' eyes, Crystal let out a faint smile. "Stay then, it doesn't make any difference. This will not take long anyway."
Crystal then turned to look towards the maid standing beside her.
The maid immediately understood her intentions and stepped forward, greeting Cyrus with a graceful curtsy. "Greetings, young master Cyrus. I, Xena, will be the one responsible for accompanying you on your upcoming trip."
"Trip? What trip?" Cyrus frowned before turning to his mother. "Where are we going?"
"Not we," Crystal corrected him immediately. "It will be just you and Xena, and you will be going to the Grand Apostle Realm."
"Grand Apostle Realm?!" Grey exclaimed in shock.
"Where is this Grand Apostle Realm?" Cyrus asked in confusion. He had never even heard of this place prior to today. 
"This..." Grey hesitated a little while finding the right words to reply with. "Let's just say that it is a completely different world..."
"What?!" Cyrus widened his eyes in shock.
A completely different world?
Has this demoness finally gone crazy and decided to exile him from the clan?

When Cyrus was born into one of the strongest magic clans, it was accompanied with supernatural phenomena of the highest levels.

The Skyhelm clan celebrated for days on end, believing that they had just ushered in the birth of a precious clan member who would lead their clan to unprecedented heights in the future.

But despite the incredible latent potential within him, Cyrus grew up to be a disappointment who had no interest in pursuing the path of magic.

After all, learning magic was extremely time consuming. 

Why would he ever want to spend all that time on reading books, especially when he hardly even have enough time to finish eating all the different delicacies waiting for him out there in the various corners of this world?

However, after Cyrus ended up being imprisoned in the clan library, he started to realise the one truth of the world of magic...

Advancing in the magical path would greatly increase his lifespan, which meant that he would have that much more time to spend on looking for delicacies. At that point, he would not only be able to enjoy the delicacies of his era, but even those in the eras to come!

Chris got on the train and immediately found an empty compartment. He put his stuff away and quietly sat down. 

Surprisingly, he realized that his parents who were so doting on him for the past month were not waiting in front of the train like a lot of the parents did. Instead it seems that they had both left. 

'I mean it's fine, but I'm surprised that clingy mother of mine just left like that,' Chris thought. After a couple of minutes, the compartment door opened and he saw someone who he did not expect to see. It was a young girl that was quite familiar to Chris.

"Hello there," The young girl greeted. 

"Hello," Chris greeted back. 

"My name is Hermione. Hermione Granger," She said as she put her stuff away and sat down. 

"My name is Chris Evergreen. It's a pleasure to meet you Hermione," Chris said. He was quite surprised as there was only at best a 5% chance that he would end up in the same compartment as her. 

'She doesn't look like Emma at all, but that's to be expected. I mean Emma was not the perfect representation of Hermione in terms of appearance, but I've got to say if she decided to dress up nicely, it would really work out well,' Chris thought. 

There was an awkward silence before Hermione quickly broke it.

"Isn't it great that underneath the Muggle world, there's the fascinating world of magic? I mean when I went to Diagon Alley, I was completely shocked," 

"Yeah it is really nice," Chris said. He quickly checked Hermione's status. 

Hermione Granger
Magical Power: 100

'Hmm... she has quite the magical power for her age. I mean I suppose she did practice a lot so that she can use spells like the Mending Charm,' Chris thought.

Hermione continued to talk to him until another person opened the compartment door. It was Neville Longbottom. 

"Hello there. Is it alright to sit here?" He asked timidly. 

"Hello there. Of course, it's alright," Hermione said with a smile. 

Chris nodded and Neville quickly put away his luggage and sat down next to Chris. 

"Name's Neville Longbottom," Neville said.

"Hermione Granger,"

"Chris Evergreen," 

"Woah you're the heir to the Evergreen Family," He asked with an astounded face.

'Oh no,' Chris thought as he knew that a headache was going to come.

"Yes I'm from the Evergreen Family," Chris said with a smile. 

"Oh my goodness, your father is my hero. He valiantly fought against You-Know-Who's army of Death Eater and he's as much of a hero as Barty Crouch. However, not only is he strong, he has a huge company worth millions of Galleons! I really do admire him" Chris was actually quite surprised that the timid Neville was actually speaking so loudly. It seemed that his father can even change the most timid of person.

"Umm... Thank you," Chris said a bit awkwardly.

Hermione's eyes lit up.

"Ahh, I knew you seemed familiar. Your father was in the contemporary history book that I read before coming here. So you're the son of Bradley Evergreen. Truth be told, you really do look like him," Hermione said as she started to inspect him a bit more closely.

"Yes I do get that a lot," Chris said. 

The train started to leave. The three of them started conversing and there was the occasional laugh from Hermione when Chris would tell a joke. Suddenly Neville started to scream. 

"Ahhh! Trevor's gone!" Neville shouted.

"Calm down Neville. Who's Trevor?" Hermione asked. 

"My pet frog. He was a gift from my uncle. I've always been scolded and punished for not showing magical power and when I did, it was the first time that they were so proud of me that they would gift me something. He's really precious to me," Neville said as tears started to form. 

"How do you lose something that's so precious to you?" Hermione asked bewildered at Neville's clumsiness. "If I had something that precious, I would always keep a good eye on it,"

"I honestly don't have very good memory and I'm not really too observant so I lose things very well. There are way too many things that I've lost over the years," Neville said while sniffling. 

"Alright we'll help you find Trevor. Chris will you help us?" Hermione asked. 

Chris was about to agree before he heard a message from the System.

-Quest has been given. Find Neville's Frog. Although the frog will be found eventually, isn't it better if the crying Neville is soothed?-

Quest: Find Neville's Frog
Neville's Frog: 0/1
Reward: 2 Sickles and 80 EXP

"Hmm... compared to the Use Practice Room (2) which required me to use the practice room 10 times, the reward is quite good," Chris thought.

Chris nodded his head and Neville and Hermione went out to the left while Chris went towards the right.

"Oh yes, I remember that there was a spell perfect for this," Chris thought as he went to the Wizarding Book. It was a spell not shown in the book or the movie, but he found it while browsing through the Wizarding Book. He didn't buy it at the time because it was too expensive, but as soon as he got the money, he forgot about the spell. 

Finding Charm (Inveniet): Is able to find anything within a short radius. 
Price: 1 Sickle

"It seems that the System does not want to reward me too much money. In essence, I'm only getting 1 Sickle. Well I'm getting EXP for this so it's not too bad," Chris thought as he quickly bought it. The details of the spell entered his mind and after a couple of seconds passed, Chris finally learned the Finding Charm.

-Host has learned the Finding Charm. 50 EXP will be awarded. 211 EXP needed to level up. Money remaining: 0 G 14 S 18K.-

'That's quite generous,' Chris thought. He quickly took out his wand and cast the Finding Charm. 

"Inveniet Trevor," He chanted. Soon information about the whereabouts of Trevor entered Chris' mind. 

'It's in a compartment in my direction,' Chris thought. He quickly went to the compartment to retrieve Trevor who was just sitting there like nothing happened. The people in the compartment were nice and helped him retrieve Trevor. To Chris, it was the easiest Sickle he has ever earned.

Chris Kim was a Potterhead. While he was reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the 15th time, he felt the force sucking him inside the book. He realized he was in the Harry Potter World with the Wizardry System. How will he change the Harry Potter world with his knowledge?

In a small valley, a hamlet is located. This small village is called the Green Valley, because of its greeneries that even houses were built using green stalks and leaves. It's also part of the Loderon country. The area is abundant when it comes to basic needs and resources. So many fruits to eat, and so many preys to hunt. The Climate is tropical. However, after the war for the throne, things changed even in their area. New species began inhabiting the land. The Beasts are deadlier than before, greater in both strength and speed. These Beasts become more aggressive and destructive. The Chief of the Green Valley is worried about his citizen. Especially because a monstrous beast called Loderian Boar was said to attack a nearby town. Without knowing if it is true or not, he came to the Hunter's University, since they are located in the country Loderon, to ask somebody to help them. However, nobody volunteered to help them. The Hunters of this university is after shining and expensive jewelries, and he has nothing but foods and basic resources. Thinking that the Hunter's Academy is selfish, he went back to his valley alone.

Then one day, the two young men, Kei and James, take a visit to the valley. They entered a small tavern, and in there, they meet a woman named Sarah. They come to say "Hello." to her.

Both James and Kei are good-looking. However, James is more charming, whilst Kei is more serious and cold. They both have black hairs. James has blue eyes, while Kei's eyes are brown. Both of them grew up as hunters. They were trained by a skillful man, who is also the one who had raised them.

"Hi! You two are fresh-looking. I haven't seen you in here before. What do you guys want?" the woman said. 

"Well, we just need some drinks and extra foods. We're hunters. I'm James Panther, and this is Kei Farrell. He's my brother, though, not in blood." 

"So you guys are hunters, huh? Well, our chief is finding hunters in the Loderon's Hunter University. Unfortunately, nobody volunteered to help us. They are after rewards." she said as she takes out the wine and the cooked-chickens. 

"Seriously? Well, we are not like them. We're not after those jewelries. So what can we do to help?" said James.

"There is a beast called Loderian Boar. It's pretty dangerous. We've heard that it already attacked a nearby town. And we are worried that it might also attack us. We only have few civil guards here. Wooden bows and stone spears and axes."

"Ow, that's a big problem. Good thing that we've visited this place. We're here to help. Our four other friends are not here, but we can take it down just by the two of us." James said.

"That's great! Thanks. I think you'll need to talk to our chief. He's in his house by now. You'll just have to ask some guards to take you there." she uttered.

"By the way, may I ask what's your name?"

"Sarah Dona." she answered. 

Kei began asking her a question. "May I know what is the Class of this Loderian Boar? I'm really bored."

"It's a Class D:2 monster. I just checked about it last night in the book that I've bought. For sure, you guys will have a hard time taking it down."

"Ah. Okay then. So this beast is Class D. It's a bit stronger than we've hunted so far. So I guess this would be an enjoyable hunt."

Sarah smiles. "That's nice to hear. Feel free to eat anything you want. Since you want to help us, I will not take your payments for these drinks and foods. Consider it as my thank you for you guys."

"Well, thanks. I appreciate that." James replied.

After that, they came out of the tavern and ask for the civil guard to take them to the Chief as they will hunt down the Loderian Boar. When they arrived at the Chief's place, they humbly introduced themselves to him.

"A Good Day for you, majesty." said James.

"Who are you?" asked the Chief.

"I'm James Panther and this is my brother, Kei Farrell. We're hunters."

"Really? I've been finding brave hunters that will take down the terrible beast that may attack our valley sooner."

"We're actually here to help. One of your citizen, Sarah, told us about the situation. We'll be glad to help." Kei said.

"Ow, that's great! But we can only give you some resources. We don't have jewelries here. I'm ashamed of myself."

Then James says "That's alright. We don't need jewelries or any other precious things. Few resources are so much fine for us."

"Really? Thanks. I owe you guys for your kindness and will to help. The Hunters from the Loderon's University of Hunters don't want to help since we only have few resources to give." the Chief replied.

James and Kei smile at him. "We just need to ask few questions. What do you know about the Loderian Boar?" Kei asked.

"I'm sorry but I know nothing. I haven't even see it yet. But I know where can we find it. It can be found around the forest of Palawan. It is near here." the Chief answered.

"Thanks. That's a great information. One last question. Does this town has defense structures or maybe watchtowers?"

"Sorry. Our watchtower is not finish yet. Our workers are focusing on the construction of fences."

"Well then. That's fine. We just have to hunt down the beast before it comes here." Kei then checked his newly-bought book and try to find some datas about the Loderian Boar. This book has over 9000 beasts enlisted in it. Kei and his friends also write their own journal about the beasts they've hunted down.

"Okay. We will come back with its head. We promise you that." James said.

"Thank you very much. I owe our lives to you. Be careful with that beast. They said that it is a Class D:2 monster. So have extra care while facing it." the Chief advised.

"Thank you, majesty. We will be going now." James said then they comes out from the house of the Chief. They began their journey in hunting their first Class D Monster. Of course, it will not going to be easy.

The story is about Kei and his friends who grew up to be hunters because of an old man known as Margus Berlin. However, Margus died after siding with the people who wants liberty and justice. The terrible throne war happened, and it resulted to the World Government's victory. Kei and his friends began having negative thoughts about the World Government. They learned about its selfish, manipulative, and abusive use of power. How the World Government rose into power is still a mystery, and that will leave a great way for Kei and his friends' adventures.

The Age of Hunt began, and there's a lot of mysteries to solve, tensions are rising, and huge conflicts began to occur.

(This is my first fantasy story. The Season 1 has 50 Chapters. I am writing for the Season 2, and I hope that it will become much better and exciting than the first season. Thanks for the support!)

"Now that you have accepted the book will only show itself to you as long as you find a new technique for your duration of your life the contract we made will be fulfilled. The spell I'll teach you to use with your dark magic is also the very reason for the deaths of so many. When you use it to understand and copy their martial art you are reading the very pain and technique of it in a instant. This may cause for your body or mental state if to weak to be damaged beyond repair. I'm sure you'll understand the basics of most techniques in this book but for the harder techniques call on me and I will help."

"I understand thank you for the use of your book." 

When shadow was younger he once read a book on powerful, rare, and lost techniques. So to his surprise when he opened it and was flipping through that half of them were these very techniques. Some he had never even heard of. He didn't want to use half of them because if someone recognized that it was martial art that had been lost there would be questions. It was about 2 hours before he found one that was very similar to the dragon style. This one was called the ancient dragon style. Most likely what his dragon style was made from. Some of the stances were the same except a few. This was definitely the stronger martial art though, he could tell from the farther along techniques he would learn when he hit at least pro or so. With their being different elemental ancient dragon techniques. 

"Are you happy with what you have." Lucifer had said in a disappointing tone.

"Yes, of course I am. Some of these martial arts will help me fill the void of magic. If I were to face a lot of martial artist at the same time it could be too hard on me. Especially with the longer spells, why they could attack me without me even getting an attack in."

"Mhm, do you think you could kill even if they were evil. As you know I can read your outer thoughts and the first thing you felt was disgust from killing. Even when he said it was fine that it was only evil beings. The contract you made is very serious I don't know the repercussions but I can tell he put a spell on you that would make sure you fulfill it."

"I know that already plus I have my entire life to only find one technique. I won't have problems finding someone evil enough. This world is filled with evil people and creatures who practice martial arts."

"Maybe, but what's to stop it for activating if you die before  fulfilling your contract. What's to say he won't turn you into a lithe. An undead creature forced to obey whatever it's bound to."

"I'll figure that out when it comes but right now I need strength and that's what he is offering. I think you forget I know what you want from me and that's my body. Yet I still let you in bec.."

"I know you depend on strength I'm just letting you know because it'll hurt me in the long run too. Other than that what's the plan from here?"

"I'll get stronger and learn the basic of this technique while reaching novice for both a martial artist and mage. I'll do this before school starts so I can check out my realm again." He said this while staring at the demon arts book with a determined gaze.

Sono and his men had been cleaning out the bandits base upon hours. Of course Sono was alone while the rest of the men were in groups of 3. They had been bringing the loot back into the room they started in while the mage was teleporting it all back into the village square. After the mage had taken back the girl he was tasked with this simple job. Even though he felt like he was just a pack mule he still did it with a smile on his face because of his respect for his commander. Sono had finally got a message from his mage telling him all the men were back and waiting on him. It was a spell only space users could use and they were commonly targeted in war because they could either help people escape or connect a whole army depending on their strength. 

"Tell then to wait a little longer I'll be coming I see one more room ahead the door looks shabby so I doubt there is much in there so I'll be back soon." 

"Yes, sir we'll await your arrival."

Sono was just opening the door before the smell hit him. It definitely a room with a couple dead bodies but as he took a look there was only one on the bed. 

"Mhm, so this was her room. Disgusting."He could see semen and blood on the bed right next to her mother's body. "They defiled her in the same room where her dead mother lay. These people deserve no remorse. If I would've known I would've captured and tortured them for days." He walked over to her mothers corpse gently picking it up. As he did some type of fluid fell sloppily to the floor. He made his ways down the long halls and towering floors. "This was definitely some ancient kingdom. Maybe the far extinct dwarfs used to live here" he said this aloud to himself. He looked down at the body thinking she had to be at least a pro tier 4 for her body to hold on as long as it did. It was still in pretty good condition seeing that it had been 3 years.

He had finally made it to the large hall when one of the men shouted "you keep finding helpless women sir?!" Before he realized the smell coming from her. Some of the men vomited any food that they had today. 

"Yes we will be taking her back with us today. She deserves a proper burial. Mage take teleport us back and take me to the girl we saved we need to have a talk."

This is about a boy named shadow who wishes to revenge his father. In a world plagued by war,  poverty ,magical beings, and monsters. Dying seems just like another everyday thing. He wants to grow in power so he never feels weak. He isn’t like most MCs he is broken and will not be the type to save everyone or want to do the good thing all the time. If it follows his purpose then maybe but only if it aligns with his goals. He will thirst for revenge and may even be on the evil side of things. This is a story of the boy who will become the ruler of the shadows.
