Bringing paper-making technology to this world was an idea Sui Xiong had long ago.
The spreading of culture was very slow. One of the crucial reasons was that there was a lack of cultural carrier: paper. Here, the books were compiled into booklets with papers made with various beast skins, hence the incredibly high cost. A blank booklet for about 30 pages would at least cost six gold coins in the wholesale store, while the retail price normally cost eight to ten gold coins.
Why aren't there many mages in this world? Some of the people laid the blame on the commoners' brain power, emphasised that only people who were highly intelligent could become a mage. Actually the problem wasn't that, but the money.
A mage would at least need to learn the common language, ancient elven language, dragon language, dwarven runes, heavenly language, Abyss language, hell language, mystery language and the other "common languages." A true mage that was proficient in languages, normally knew even more different languages. For example Void Mask Church's mage group leader, Satan, was a mage that had just gotten into the higher order in the recent two years. He knew 33 languages in total, and was learning more languages then. For instance, that year, taught himself the language of a mutated species, Heart Eater Soul Monster. The species was basically non-existent in the main dimension but it was distributed across countless worlds that were floating in Void. They were good at using attacks on their prey that caused heartache, hence the name "heart eater."
According to his way of saying things, his plan was to master above a hundred languages.
A mage not only had to learn languages but also know the more headache-inducing study, culture. Astrology, geography, customs and practices, biology, history… forget it. Listing them out one by one seems as though I am trying to fulfil the word count. All in all, the reason why mages had high expenditures was mainly because of "learning."
And principal part of the learning expenditure was the purchase of books.
Books wouldn't fall from the sky but required to be bought using one's own money. Or maybe one could buy an empty booklet and copy by hand. An experienced mage normally had a few racks of books, or even a library. What were these? These were all money!
Why did Mifata Fedaration have more mages? Because they had a systematic nurturing standard, and youngsters that intended to go down the path of magic could spend less money to borrow books which helped to cut down the expenses by a lot.
Not only that, but in the process of learning magic, "copying scrolls" and "copying magic books" were inevitable. Defeat was a common sight too. With a failure, one would lose at least a beast paper, or one might lose the entire book straightaway. Encountering 80 to 100 counts of failure wasn't a huge number. The poor Palin wanted to learn an intermediate magic "ice storm," and wasted almost 200 scrolls, plus booklets, ink, and therapeutic medicine... These few years, he basically spent all his salary in the stationary shop.
Even if they didn't take the expense of a mage into consideration, merely language learning and calculation, which was pretty much a basic requirement to shake off the nickname of illiterate, would need at least 30 to 50 books. If he were to learn law or performing arts, there should be an extra zero behind the existing figure. Plus history... Sigh, it would be best not to calculate so much.
In this world where a poor commoner's family might not even make a gold coin, the education expenses were enormous and hard to afford.
If there were paper making technology, with a large amount of cheap papers and books, the culture in this world might be able to spread more widely.
Like the saying went, "knowledge will change one's fate." If cultural knowledge were to be common among the poor, maybe their fates would be improved.
Sui Xiong didn't know if his speculations were accurate but he felt he could give it a try.
So he built himself a laboratory by the river near the sea in the Ashes Woods, and tried to research and develop paper making technology.
"Let me recall how does paper making works..." Sui Xiong said at the pile of wood that had just been chopped. He hung his head low as he thought, "I learned it in history class. It said that Cai Lum produced broken fishnet and chopped wood into paper paste, then spread it flat on a cloth to dry, and it became paper. It seems quite easy..."
He waved his tentacles and the big tree next to him flew up and was crushed by an invisible force. After some squeaking noises, it quickly shattered into a ball of shredded wood.
Then, Sui Xiong got some river water to mix with the shredded wood. He then boiled it with magic.
Because the river water and wood that were polluted by negativity, they gave off thick clouds of black smoke during the boiling process. The black smoke wasn't the chemical gas commonly seen in the paper making factories on Earth, but the negativity that was dispersed. Any commoner would die if they were to get in contact with it. Looking at the danger aspect, this was more terrifying.
After boiling for a long time, that ball of unknown mixture had turned into thick murky fluid and the negativity in it had fully dispersed. Sui Xiong tried to take some and used magic to spread it on the linen that he prepared earlier. Then, he oven-dried it using magic.
After a while, it was fully dried. Sui Xiong took it down from the linen and gotten a piece of thick paper in a blackish green colour. It was hard and coarse, and didn't look like it could be used for writing.
"This doesn't look quite right," he mumbled to himself. "If Cai Lun made this back then, the emperor was kind enough to not beat him to death. How could he even leave a good name in history?"
He pondered and took out some again from the mixture that would likely be paper waste, and spread it on the linen. But, he purposely spread it thinner. then he realised that there were many small pieces, and he couldn't spread it nicely.
"It's not fine enough!" He suddenly understood, so he used magic to shred the ball of paper waste again. This time, he strengthened the pounding power. Even steel could turn into powder, not to speak of wood.
Hence, the paper waste was spread thinly and evenly. After it oven-dried, he had gotten a flat piece of paper.
Greyish blue in colour, a little crumpled; it looked like soft paper that could be used to wipe one's ass.
"This is toilet paper... I want to make writing paper!"
He pondered again, wondering it went wrong.
Firstly, he had to remove the color because he needed white paper.
How to remove the colour? Filtration?
He tried to filter it, and there was murky water that was greyish green. But the color on the paper paste obviously didn't change.
Well, filtration didn't work; how about washing?
He made some purifying water with magic, used a ball of paper paste for experimentation and washed it a couple of times. The color of the paper waste was slightly lighter. If he were to lower his standards, he might be able to use it for writing. But, the prerequisite of it was that, it needed to written on with a writing brush.
This world was popular for the feather brush, which was to used with beast feathers and dipped into ink to write. The type of brush obviously couldn't be used to write on soft but coarse surfaces; at least not on this kind of paper that Sui Xiong had invented.
"If so… Do I have to invent ink and writing brush?"
He pondered and decided to improvise the paper-making technology once again.
It was like the saying, "It is when you are using what you have learned from books that you wish you had read more books." By that time, his reserved knowledge had been used up, he didn't know how to further purify the paper paste to whiten it more.
After thinking for half a day, he decided to develop a magic spell that was used to purify the paper paste.
The character of the magic was to absorb the coloring in the paper paste; it was not very high tech. Sui Xiong only used a few hours to design it and spent another few hours to experiment and improvise. He finally invented the very first magic spell in this world that he could spread and leave him a good reputation in the history.
Sui Xiong's paper-paste purifying spell, beginner magic. The spell was made of an incantation and runes and the material required to cast the magic spell was only a small block of charcoal. Using the magic could help to extract the coloring in the paper paste and turn into stringy colour colloid, while the originally variegation paper paste turned white.
After completing the magic, Sui Xiong had finally gotten the white paper paste that he wanted. Using this paper paste as raw material, he had gotten white paper.
But, it was still the soft crumpled paper, not like anything that could be written on with a feather brush.
The more troublesome part was that the paper was not beneficial for packaging and preserving. He could be tell by the looks, it was definitely not anything sturdy and durable.
Sui Xiong thought carefully and wanted to press the paper flat.
It was smoother, but not smooth enough.
He thought again, tried to put more paper paste onto the linen, pressed it flat, and oven-dried it.
He finally got a piece of smooth white paper.
Of course, compared to the white paper on earth, it was vastly different. But Sui Xiong had already tried his best and couldn't figure any other way to improve it.
He tried it with feather brush and ink. As expected, he realized ink would smudge on the piece of paper and it couldn't be used for delicate small writings.
"Alright, the next is the writing brush."
Theoretically, it should be quite easy. He just needed to pick beast hairs that had suitable length and tied it together. Then, stuff them into the bamboo tube and tie it tightly.
"Not difficult at all!"
Within a short period of time, Sui Xiong made possibly the very first writing brush in the world.
But, its efficiency in absorbing ink was bad. After absorbing ink, it was inconsistent when it was used for writing. The performance of the writing brush pissed people off.
The brush was obviously a failure.
Sui Xiong thought and pondered, Was it because of the oil content on the hair?
To remove the oil content, it required washing with soap. This wouldn't be difficult as someone had already invented a soap bar in the world long ago, although its quality was not as good as the ones on Earth and the pricing was on a higher side.
After washing, the beast hair was better. Although it wasn't as smooth and natural when used, it could at least be used for writing.
Then, it's done. The rest of the problem, the users can overcome themselves!
Sui Xiong then focused his attention on the ink again.
In the world, the price of ink was very expensive; a small bottle that was about fifty grams would cost over 20 gold coins. For feather brushes that required lesser ink, it was alright. But a writing brush was an ink sucker. If it was used as such, he reckoned the poor would not be able to afford it.
Hence, Sui Xiong started to research and make ink.
He failed miserably but found an alternative.
Mixing water with a small amount of glue, blended with ashes, could be used for writing. Although the writing effect wasn't as good, it could at least be used.
The biggest problem about this solution was that every time when someone wanted to use it, they have to make mix the ink on the go, which was inconvenient. But inconvenience would still be better than nothing, wouldn't it?
Sui Xiong had the intention to make an ink block like the one that was used by his ancestors for many years. He tried to combine glue and ashes into blocks but in the end, he realised that the ink block could only be cut and crushed for usage.
Mm, this will do too...
After a few days, during the meeting of higher ups in Void Mask Church, Sui Xiong showed off his invention proudly.
"Look!" He told everyone. "This thing is going to change the world!"


In the world, there were gods who obeyed the rules, whether good or evil. But there were also evil gods who defied the rules. 
When a traverser was confronted by the rules that he could never conform to, the resulting collision marks the beginning of the story of an evil god…
This is the story of a good man who transformed into a great jellyfish, then traversed his world to arrive at a world of swords and magic. His journey of searching and exploring eventually led to him remaking nature and changing the world. 

My plan was pretty simple but at the same time a bit hard to follow.

Although I'd just received access to my interface there was no stopping people learning about the different statistics ahead of time. Most of them aligned with traditional RPGs I'd read about and were fairly self explanatory, but the one stat that wasn't straightforward was the one I planned on raising.

Aether saturation had to do with how much Aether your body naturally absorbed and held at any given time. The Aether was how humans generated their mana and was also tied into the strength of spells cast with mana. Most of the exact numbers were not exactly common knowledge as those who were capable of wielding great magic were also disgustingly stingy about who they shared the information or training methods with.

There were ways to naturally raise your saturation through various meditation or cultivation techniques, or so I had been told. After spending an entire eight hours sitting outside with my eyes closed and not feeling any changes, I'd given up on that quickly. Looking at the minute amount in my interface now that I could actually measure it didn't reassure me that culviating it was the correct path either.

Everytime a merchant passed through town I would always ask them if they owned any books or knew of the path to power, and it was almost always a bust. However, one of the merchants who'd passed through last spring gave me knowledge that I hadn't heard before.

I approached him when he was at his cooking fire with his guards as they'd elected to stay in Tinyton overnight rather than risk the roads and night. The merchant was an older man with a weathered appearance and greyed hair. I was apprehensive to approach him because it was apparent from a distance that he'd been drinking, but I steeled my nerves and pushed through anyways.

'Those disgusting wizards will never tell you how they gained their power, they all sit up high in their towers and dingle each other and themselves all day rather than help humanity advance.' When first I asked him if he knew anything about wizards, I earned myself a 10 minutes rant about how wizards were the worst of the worst, super cheap, and would try to scam any honorable merchant out of their coin.

Apparently they were all natural hagglers and had higher charisma, allowing them to 'swindle' people out of their goods. From what I'd seen of his prices, the wizards he encountered likely wanted to pay what the goods were worth, not the ludicrous markup his items were sold for. I didn't say that to him though, as he may have knowledge I wanted. Every minute of his drunken babbling had made me want to just walk away, but I didn't and it was a good thing that I hadn't.

'There are other ways though, ways nobody mentions because they wouldn't risk it. You ever hear about how much larger and powerful the mutant beasts are closer to the nerf sites? They soak up the Aether and it empowers them, it even gifts some of them with wisdom and magic.'

'That's all a myth though, everybody knows you can't survive in the nerf sites.' At the time, I'd believed that to be the truth. If somebody could live there then why would they ever leave, what with the entire area being filled with magical power.

'And that is exactly what the people in power want you to think. The most powerful and lucrative dungeons and instances are located near the nerf-sites, and that's how the powerful stay in power. They farm the areas along with their goons and try to keep everyone else out. They say it's for public health, all because some people have adverse effects to the exposure. Eh? Yeah, adverse effects. Some people lose their hair, or a limb, or the coloring in their skin. Or they get a new color, grow more hair in strange places, or extra limbs. You get the point. But it isn't that common I say.'

I stopped listening to his drunken wisdom at that point, knowing that it was going nowhere fast. I'd already gotten what I wanted, my road to power. I realized that even though I'd been told that the areas were unsurvivable, that didn't align with what I'd heard of other tales. Like the origin of the elven race or the dwarves, who came froth from various nerf-sites.

I'd finally figured out what I was going to do, I was going to trek to one of the nerf-sites that wasn't controlled by the government in order to gain power. The journey would be dangerous, and there was a high likelihood of my dying, but it was what I wanted out of life. So began my training with the hunters of the village, learning how to live off the land and follow tracks. I'd even learned how to wield a weapon from the town guard and exchanged one of my first kills for a poor quality salvaged spear.

Most of the weapons the village owned were of poor quality, due to our being located nowhere near any mountains or major mines. Instead we created our armour and weaponry from melting down the dead metal carriages of ages past that were located along the paved roads.

I went back home and packed the road rations I'd prepared in the coming weeks, dried grain biscuits and smoked jackalope. The jackalope had been a lucky kill, usually the deer-rabbit hybrids were far too fast to catch with a spear but I'd managed to find one that had been injured by another wild animal and stole the kill. The pelt had been sold to the tanner and I used the coin to buy a new bag to carry my belongings in and a waterskin.

After I stowed several changes of clothing, the food, spare cloth to be used as bandages, and several other essentials in my bag, I made toward to field to say goodbye to my parents.

They'd known for some time that I had no intention of sticking around in Tinyton, but I hadn't yet told them where I was headed. Truth be told I wasn't even sure of where I would go, just that I would be going west. Away from the government, and way from the shithole called Florida. West, toward my destiny. Toward wealth, power, land unsettled, and magic.

I found my father where I thought I would, just outside the outskirts of the village, although my mother was nowhere in sight. They were doing their best to finish off the crop of bell peppers and potatoes before the first frost set in, and spent most of their days ripping out the rampant weeds that sucked life from the area and spending what little mana they had to grow crops.

I approached my father and he looked up at me before returning to funnel his mana into the pepper bush, trying to encourage it to bloom again. I decided to help and spent my mana on [Weak Growth]. The effect was almost instantaneous as the magic drained from me and left my arms feeling weak and my head lightheaded. 9 of my 10 available mana sprung forth from my fingers and reinvigorated the plant, causing it to bloom and even grow a single small pepper from the end of one of the branches.

"Eh. Good one son." My father was a proud man. He had once been apart of the town's guard until he hurt himself fighting off a wave of beasts. He didn't talk much about his past, and was a very quiet man more content to farm his fields than attend a dinner party. We were a lot alike in that aspect, both very unsocial. "I don't suppose you've changed your mind?"

"I'm afraid not, Father. I'm dropping by to say goodbye, where is Mom?"

"Laura is away with the Jackson brothers collecting water."

"Do you know how long she will be?"

"A couple minutes longer than you'll be here, if my guess is correct."

Ahh, so that's how it was. My mother was a very timid woman and had been vehemently opposed to my leaving town. We had a falling out almost a week back that ending in screaming and yelling about whose right it was to leave or stay. She told me that if that was the way I was going to be, than I was no son of hers. The last thing she'd said to me was good riddance.

"Right… I thought she may have changed her mind and would want to see me off. Guess I'll be going then."

"Wait." My father shocked me by pulling me into a heavy embrace that lasted longer than usual, "You need to stay safe, you hear me? I know what it is like to feel wonderlust, I didn't always live here after all. Just… If things get too tough, know that you're still welcome here. Laura is going to regret everything she said to you, and regret not seeing you off, but she loves you, okay son? Where are you heading."

"West." He released me from the hug and held me at arms length. Then, with a final pat on both my shoulders and a nod of his head, he said goodbye. I looked away before wiping away the tears that had collected in my eyes and strode off toward the western edge of town, taking a short break to grab my spear where I'd stashed it away from my Mother. I didn't put it past her to hide my weapon in order to try and convince me to stay.

I found my chosen path of Us 98, a road labeled by the past generations that was referred to these days as Westway, and set out with spear in hand and hopes in my heart.

For several years now, humanity has known and accepted that we would be the cause of our own extinction. Thanks to all of the effort we've put into improving weapons to kill each other since the beginning of time, there was never any other way we were going to go other than mutually assured destruction.

Long story short, some people just don't know when to stop pushing buttons, pun intended, and the world has ended in fire. Human kind finally pulled the trigger and decided that 'You know what? Living kinda sucks, lets all die real quick.'

This story follows a young man named Lucas Cob who was born a few generations later as he attempts to find himself in the new world. The world that emerged from the fire, born anew.

Tiana stuck her hands out, "Big brother, lift out Tiana, please."
Luke picked up Tiana and helped her into the car. He did up her seat belt and smiled at her. "I hope that you can find a few toys while we are out but remember we won't be able to get toys all the time. So choose well right now. Tiana do you know when your birthday is?"
Cindy started placing the bags in the back then took the slippers from Luke and placed them in the trunk. "From what I have seen some are not too bad but those two seem to be the types that would gossip. Do not pay such people any mind." Cindy closed the trunk, smiled and got into the car. 
"Tiana isn't sure when her birthday is but it wasn't soon. Cake is only for birthdays that is what daddy would say. Tiana only got a cupcake on her birthday but it was so tasty!" She started at Luke with her big round eyes. 
Kitty walked to the other side of the car and got in. "That is okay, Tiana. We will figure out your birthday and if we can not figure it out we will give you a birthday. Carlos makes an amazing cake. Oh, and after dinner, you will be able to have a dessert."
Stella climbing in the front seat and sat down she placed the bag at her feet. "I hope that one day you will not be as scared of me."
Luke climbed into the car last and did up his seatbelt, "I am sure she will warm up to you eventually. In the meantime Stella I will be your friend. I trust that you will not do something to hurt my family and if Ketan says that you are under his command then I will trust that bond between you two."
"Okay, so the toy store first and then dinner?" Cindy looked back at Kitty. 
"Yes, please. Hopefully, the place we go to sells a booster seat so that we do not need to go somewhere else." Kitty relaxed her head against the door.
"Dessert? Tiana will be allowed dessert? Tiana is even luckier." She dramatically places her hands on her cheeks and slightly opens her mouth.
Luke takes out his phone and takes a picture of Tiana. "Yes, you will get a dessert if you eat all your dinner. That is what Leo always would say to me. Do you like ice cream?"
Cindy drove them to the toy store and swiftly parked the car. "Okay, we are here. I will take Stella to find a booster seat. Kitty and Luke can take Tiana to fun some toys and such."
Kitty got out of the car and stretched a little bit. "I will go along with this plan."
Luke undid Tiana's belt and then got out of the car. "I agree this will make it easier."
"Big brother, Tiana Likes ice cream." Tiana freed from the belt climbed out and latched herself on Kitty's leg. "Mommy, Tiana is so excited!"
Kitty held out her hand and lead Tiana into the store. "Do you know how to read Tiana? We will pick up some storybooks to read. If you don't know Luke and I will teach you how to read." She walked towards the books first.
"Tiana, would like to learn to read. Tiana knows a few words but not enough for a book, mommy." She skips towards the books. 
Luke followed behind the two and grabbed a cart. He pushed the cart listening to their conversation. "I will help teach you to read and write. They are skills that you will need in the future. There is nothing wrong with learning them now." He looked at the learn to write books and picked out two of them. One was a book about numbers and the other was the alphabet.
Tiana looked at the books in fascination. She reached her little arms to try and pull a book down but couldn't reach it. "Tiana is too short, Mommy can you help me please?" 
Kitty saw that book and picked it and handed it to her. "Here you are, dear. This is the one you were looking at right?" She started to look for more books like that and found out that it was a book series that had a box set. "Tiana, how about mommy buys you this instead? This has a whole collection of princess stories including the one you are holding." 
Tiana looks at the book collection in awe. "Can Tiana have all those books, Mommy? I would like all of them." She looks up in anticipation. 
Luke chuckled and looked at the baby books he found a set and added it to the cart. "If Mother offers it to you that means she wants to get it for you if that is what you want."
"Tiana wants, please. So many princess books. Tiana is so happy." She handed the lone book back to Kitty and watched what she would do.
Kitty placed the book set in the cart and placed the single book back. "Let's see what coloring books there are for you to color in." The walked down the aisle and went to the coloring books. "Tiana you can pick out five coloring books that you would like, okay. So think long and hard which ones you would like. Then we will get you a crayon set of 152 pieces that you can use."
Tiana looks up at Kitty and has some tears in her eyes, "Tiana feels like she is dreaming five brand new books and a huge set of colors just for Tiana. Tiana will choose well." She looks at all the coloring books and spots a unicorn one. "The first one for Tiana is the unicorn one!!" She rushes the book to Luke. 
Luke took the book. "Good job you still have four more to choose." He got down and wiped the tears away," once she was out of earshot he whispered, "she is going to be so attached and not want to leave. I do hope that she will not get jealous of the baby. Tiana is a good girl and we are blessed that she is taking this easily."


Will she hunt him or will he hunt her? Kitty is a demon with powers beyond belief. She goes through life alone and has suffered many losses but nothing could prepare her for falling for someone who is meant to hunt and kill her kind. Leo a hunter sworn to change the paths of the hunter association must make the choice of hunting the one whom has captured his heart or turning his back on his way of life. 

Neither of them expected that the one night they spent together would change both their lives forever. 

From attraction to the desperate desire of want, this unlikely couple will face all obstacles to fight the systems in place for centuries. The forbidden love of a hunter and his prey. Will Leo and Kitty be able to protect what is theirs or will they lose it all?

"I'll be back tomorrow," Kagome said as she slung her legs over the well's rim.
"Don't take too long," Inuyasha grumbled but was only met with a scowl. A pink flash appeared as the portal welcomed the miko back to her own time. She hoisted herself up and picked up the green bag she'd been using as a temporary replacement. She found Souta and her grandpa sweeping leaves from the yard and they didn't notice her arrival until she waved at them.
"Nee-chan!" Her younger brother ran up to her and gave her a quick hug on the waist.
She patted the boy's head affectionately. "Hello, Souta. How have you been? Where's Mama?"
"She went outside for a bit. She'll be back soon."
Kagome nodded and trudged towards their house. She couldn't wait to dive inside the tub for a nice, long bath. And if there's one thing she definitely missed, it was her soft bed. Sure, she enjoyed shard hunting with her friends, but lying on the hard ground every night was giving her back pains.
She felt guilty when she woke up and found that it was already morning. Maybe Mama knew she needed that much sleep and rest. I kinda deserve it, Kagome consoled herself. I mean, who else gets to travel through time to find a magic jewel and battle an evil being AND worry about exams and high school at the same time?
She chuckled to herself. What a horrible way to live for a teenager. But then... if she hadn't fallen into the well, she wouldn't have met Shippo, Miroku, and Sango. Especially Inuyasha. There were no regrets, no matter how many times her life was in danger.
"Good morning, Kagome," Mama greeted her when she came down to the kitchen already fully-dressed for shopping. Souta and grandpa were already seated around the table.
"Good morning, Mama, Souta, Grandpa," she replied cheerfully, taking her place across her younger brother. Eating together with her family served as the time to catch up with her present life and enduring the old man's loud antics about which illness he was going to use as an alibi for Kagome's absences again.
When breakfast was over, Kagome managed to borrow Mama's card to buy supplies and gifts for her friends. She made a mental list of the possible things that could delight each of her companions. For Inuyasha... well, that was fairly easy. A few extra ramen would satisfy his complaints. Shippo was as easy. Lollipops. Miroku usually settled for tea and his growing fondness for potato chips so she purchased them as well. For her best friend and sister Sango, a complete box of bathing and body works seemed appropriate, since the taijiya always appreciated the fragrance of the soap and shampoo. And of course, Kirara's cat treats.
As she passed by the bookstore, Kagome thought about buying Shippo another set of coloring books. Unexpectedly, the face of Rin flashed in her mind. Perhaps the little girl could use some of the coloring books herself. Traveling with the most powerful daiyoukai didn't really guarantee a good childhood experience.
Speaking of the youkai lord... Kagome had been thinking how to properly thank Sesshomaru for staying with her on her birthday. I've been thanking him a lot lately. What could be of interest to the usually stoic inu-youkai? His indifference was legendary in the feudal era. Someone could be dying in front of him and he still wouldn't spare a glance. He would just continue walking in all his gloriousness, his soft white fur and silver hair whipping behind him like a mist.
She settled for a history-slash-mythology book chronicling the last days of Feudal Japan and what came after. If he doesn't like it, he can just return it. Or worse, burn it with his poison claws, Kagome thought as she hefted the two large plastic bags towards her favorite fast-food chain.
Inside, she was met by Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka who gawked at the bulky grocery bags. She sat with them after ordering burger and fries.
"Kagome, should you really be up and about? I heard you have a bad case of diarrhea that's why you were absent last week!" Eri exclaimed, making the people beside their table look at them.
"It's, what, thrice now? Hojo-kun was really worried about you and he always asked us when you'd be back," Ayumi supplied.
"Well, I'm feeling better now," Kagome said, internally swearing she'd punish grandpa for the excuses he'd been telling everyone.
"So?" Yuka said, eyes gleaming. "What's the status with your delinquent, two-timing boyfriend?"
And here we go. Kagome sighed. "He's not my boyfriend, guys."
"What about his ex?" one of her friends prompted. Kagome sighed again. Well, to be honest, their curious questions kind of helped her sort her feelings for Inuyasha.
"He'd been seeing her lately," she answered truthfully, just leaving out the fact that he was a half-demon and she was an undead miko. "You know, he ditched my birthday to see her."
There was a collective gasp among the three girls in front of her. "That's horrible!"
"In his defense though, he didn't know it was my birthday. I was pretty much upset the whole night but it went just fine because his brother came."
"His brother?"
Kagome wanted to smack herself. Why did she let that slip out! She knew the girls wouldn't let her go without saying anything about it. However, she can use the opportunity to assess her relationship with Sesshomaru. Relationship? More like acquaintance, she corrected herself.
She took a deep breath. "Older brother. He's like the most cold-hearted person on the planet, but lately he's been showing me a small side of his... kindness. Perhaps his adopted daughter is finally growing on him and making him show softness, but he prefers not to show it because he has a reputation for being a 'bad boy'. But you know, he's not that bad."
"Wait, adopted daughter?" Eri didn't miss that.
Kagome thought for a moment, trying to form an acceptable explanation rather than saying that Sesshomaru was a powerful dog demon who brought a human child back to life. "Hmm, he saved a little girl and took her in as his own daughter."
There was silence as they took this information in. Ayumi was the one who spoke first. "The older brother sounds more mature than your boyfriend. More dependable, more responsible, and more considerate of you."
"True that!" Eri nodded enthusiastically. "But what about your feelings, Kagome? How do you feel about the older brother?"
This took her off-guard. How do I feel about Sesshomaru? "Um... well," she struggled for words. "He's definitely interesting. But when he's around, I don't know how to act. He's very intimidating." Plus, he tried to kill me once.
"But I thought you said he's kind to you," Yuka said, frowning.
"He is! Sometimes, I think he's lonely even if he tries not to show it." And this, Kagome knew, was true. Why would Sesshomaru tolerate Jaken in the first place?
Ayumi took her hands and held them tightly. "Just know that we will support you, Kagome. And please do come to school soon. We miss you."
Kagome nodded gratefully and they separated after exchanging a few more casual conversations. As she walked towards the subway station, she couldn't help but lift her soft brown eyes to the sky.
I find Sesshomaru interesting, huh?

It started with the smell of tears. Sesshomaru was drawn to her. Kagome was perplexed by him. Their paths always seemed to cross and these odd encounters unknowingly wrote the Lord of the Western Lands and the Miko into history.

Chapter 2. Rebirth (2)

"I am going to school."

"Watch out for cars. Be safe."

Ren tightened his shoelaces as he left his room. It's been a few days since he had again started going to school but it always felt refreshing.

'Youth sure is nice.'

Ren felt that being young was best. It's been a few days since he had became young again and Ren felt that his body was full of energy.

It's been a few days since he had transmigrated into another world and it still feels surreal to Ren. 

At first, he had thought the he will again wake up in his 47 year old body but he was relieved that it wasn't a dream.

These few days, he was also adjusting to his new life. At first, he had trouble talking to his parents but he had now adjusted to it.

He already have the memories and feelings of the previous owner, so he didn't have much trouble admitting them as his parents.

At first, it was awkward to have conversations but he gradually got used to them and the memories and feelings also helped him.

The second thing that he was doing this past week was finding information on the internet. Although he had the memories, he still felt the need to search for information.

That's why he was browsing the internet for any information and what he found was unbelievable. 

Although the history of this world only had slight difference, he found that the culture of both world was vastly different.

Nearly all the movies and songs of this world was different from his own world. Although the quality was not that different, the songs and movies were still different.

Not only the songs and movies but the stars of this world were also different. There were no Charlie Chaplin or Robert Downey Jr in this world.

All the stars and celebrities in this world was unfamiliar to him. It was also the same for books.

All the famous books like the world famous «Harry Potter series» and literary masterpieces like «Gone with the wind» are missing in this world.

Ren was sad that he will not be able to read those masterpieces again but he was also happy because this world has its own collections of books which Ren had never read before.

Their quality were also not inferior. There were also top quality literary masterpieces and intense fantasy novels in this world.

That's why he had been mostly reading those books these past few weeks.

In this world, Ren's family wasn't rich but they also don't have money problems and the previous owner had also saved up quite a bit of money.

It was his pocket money which he had saved for buying a video game which Ren had used for buying the books.

It wasn't like Ren hated video games but instead of games, he was more inclined towards books. He will rather read a book than play a game.

As he was thinking about that, he reached his high school. It was still early but there were already students entering the school.

His high school name was Gahai high school and it was a fairly old school that was famous in the area.

The school was located besides a small hill. The hill was small and only small animals like rabbits and stray dogs live there but it was a famous spot for students.

The sunset from the hill looked good and it was a popular spot for confessions and you could even see some couples there in the evening.

As he was thinking about that, he soon entered his classroom.

The atmosphere of the classroom was heavy like usual. Ren was in his third year of high school and it was the time when students are the most worried about their university exams.

Ren could see various students studying and only some students were talking among themselves. 

Those talking among themselves were also only making small talks as not to disturb the students who were studying.

Ren quickly found his seat and moved towards it. His seat was in the last row besides the window.

As soon as he sat down on his seat, his shoulder was tapped by someone. 

"Hey, Ren, did you read the light novel I lent you?"

"Yeah, I read it. It was fun."

The person who spoke to him was a average high school student. His name was Kenzaki Kei. He was his best friend.

He was a average looking youth with black hair and black eyes. Most of his features are ordinary and the only thing that stood out was his passion.

"I know, right. It was a great read. It was only the author's debut work but he really hit it off from the start. It was really entertaining and I even heard that there would be plans for a spin-off and a anime series will be also be airing soon."

"Hey, Kei, can't you keep it down."

Hearing Ren's words, Kei glanced around the classroom and saw that several people were looking at him with dissatisfied expressions.

Kei hurriedly lowered his head out of embarrassment and shame.

Kei was always like this. He always got passionate about his likes and hobbies when talking about them. His likes were also peculiar. They were light novels, mangas and anime. Overall, he was a otaku.

"Ah, it is the most embarrassing thing that had happened to me."

Hearing Kei's words, Ren snickered and said.

"Isn't the most embarrassing that happened to you was getting rejected by the school queen?"

"…..Can't you forget about that."

Kei groaned as he said with a embarrassed face.

"How can I forget about that? You fell in love with the school queen just because she smiled at you."

Kei hided his face when he heard Ren's words. It was a embarrassing moment for him. He had gone to confess to the school queen back then and he was rejected as soon as he confessed.

The school queen didn't even gave him a glance and rejected him without thinking a second.

"….I was naive back then."

"You are still naive. Haha."

Ren was already familiar with Kei after a few days of talking and they had also become good friends. Ren knew Kei will not mind his words.

Kei also didn't say anything about Ren's mocking. He knew he was just making fun of him and didn't mean it seriously. 

"The teacher is coming."

Someone shouted and the whole class turned silent hearing that. All the students hurriedly pull out their books. Even Ren and Kei pull out their textbooks.

'Slide!'

With the sound of door opening, the teacher entered the room. 

The teacher was a middle aged man in his 40s and he had a rather intellectual look on his face. He was even wearing glasses which made him look more scholarly. 

His name was Shiki sensei and he was the history teacher as well as Ren's homeroom teacher. 

He was a rather popular teacher among students because of his kind and gentle nature and his teaching methods. 

"Let's start the homeroom."

Fame, wealth, prestige, genius, destruction, despair, loss and failure.

Those are the eight words which describes Ren's life completely.

He was hailed as a genius but his arrogance led him to despair. From a genius, he became a failure.

He was just struggling with his life when fate gave him a second chance.

Now, what will he do after he found himself waking up in another world.

There were hundred of millions of spirit stones everywhere. They were all just piled up. Scattered everywhere like trash. They all formed mountains that were as big as Mount Tai of his previous life or even bigger! Spirit stones are the currency in this world. They are divided into 3 levels. Low quality spirit stone, middle quality spirit stone, and high quality spirit stones. One middle quality spirit stone is equivalent to that of ten thousand low quality spirit stones and 1 high quality spirit stone is equivalent to that of ten thousand middle quality spirit stones.

Low quality spirit stones were quite common. Middle quality spirit stones were uncommon but those wealthy cultivators still had them. However, high quality spirit stones were enjoyed by only those cultivators that were more richer than the rich. High quality spirit stones are sought for. They can change the lives of their owners. For the good or for the worse. High quality spirit stones can make people become crazy because of the greed that might overtake their minds by just knowing of the existence of such a precious treasure. Spirit stones are used as currency, yes. But they are also used as tools for cultivation. They possess the Qi that cultivators, except for Wang Tian, use to advance their cultivation. That's what makes them priceless.

Wang Tian looked around and also saw that there were countless weapons like swords, hammers, daggers, sabers and many more. Wang Tian tried to move them or take them out of the storage ring but he couldn't. They all possessed a very powerful aura that made Wang Tian feel pressure. Clearly, his cultivation base was not even near the minimum requirement for him to be able to wield such powerful weapons. Wang Tian sighed again but then he realized that weapons aren't the only things that are in here. There were countless books! Cultivation manuals! Techniques! Powerful techniques! Millions of techniques! He searched inside his brain and finally came to a decision. Tang Jixian was a peerless expert and a peerless expert always has a defining move. He wanted to find that move and train in it. As the successor of Tang Jixian, he decided to continue his legacy and make the world shake once more by the sight of this technique!

After countless hours of searching and almost nearly exhausting his Dark Qi, Wang Tian finally found the manual. The manual was colored black and the materials it was made from gave off a very frightening charm.

"Void Creation Manual" Wang Tian said as he grasps the book in his hands.

Wang Tian read the manual very thoroughly. The Void Creation Manual states that after one cultivates this manual, they would be able to use the power of the void. Make it their own! Use the power of the void and create objects. Weapons, cages, and even a bed if you wanted to.

Unfortunately for him, the minimum requirement to cultivate this technique was to reach a stage called, "Chaos Realm".

"Chaos realm? What's tha--" Wang Tian tried to find information about it in his brain but he suddenly felt a sharp pain inside his brain. Wang Tian cried out in pain. 'What the hell is happening? This has happened twice now. The first was when I tried to find information about that Dao Realm and now this.' Wang Tian felt gloomy. Although he couldn't be killed by physical attacks, mental attacks or any attacks at all. He could still clearly feel the pain that the attack deals.

Wang Tian thought about it for a moment and then he finally came up with a realization. 'Is the sharp pain being triggered when I search for more information about stuff I shouldn't?' Wang Tian wanted to test it. Thus, he again tried to find information about the Chaos Realm.

The sharp pain that he felt assaulted him again. His eyes shined but his face was still gloomy. 'I can't use the weapons, and I can't even use the manuals that Senior Tang Jixian has! What is the use of me being his successor if I can't even utilize for myself his belongings?!' Wang Tian angrily thought. He was really frustrated. First was the gift of that dragon, the bottle filled with blood and the dragon crystals. He couldn't use them both! Now this!

What was more unfortunate was that Wang Tian discovered that his predecessor threw out ot gave away all of the low leveled weapons and cultivation manuals that he used or had when he was still alive except for the spirit stones. He only left Wang Tian with these high leveled treasures and infinite experience and knowledge. But due to Wang Tian's very low cultivation base, he can't access the knowledge that Senior Tang Jixian left for him regarding cultivation realms.

Wang Tian wanted to cry but no tears fell from his eyes. He can only resign and sigh in regret. However, Wang Tian's luck wasn't all that bad. When Wang Tian was looking for the manual that Tang Jixian cultivated, he noticed that there were books, millions of books regarding,

"Alchemy"

When Wang Tian saw this word, it set a chain reaction inside his brain. Although the information regarding cultivation realms were locked, the boundless information regarding Alchemy wasn't!

"Alchemy is when you turn plants, objects and other materials into pills which can assist you in breaking through, in recovery, in eliminating poison, in enhancing your strength by a bit and even in killing"

"Alchemists are divided into different ranks."

"Alchemy apprentice, when one is starting off in alchemy, they can call themselves as an alchemy apprentice."

"Alchemy master, after one is able to pass a test by an alchemy sect, they can become an alchemy master. Supposedly, the test is all about refining pills and their basic knowledge towards alchemy."

"Alchemy grandmaster, Alchemy Lord, Alchemy King, Alchemy Emperor and finally the Alchemy God in the legends..."

"Alchemy masters are able to refine Level 1 pills. Alchemy Grandmasters are able to refine Level 2 and 3 pills. Alchemy Lords are able to refine Level 4 and 5 pills. Alchemy Kings, level 6 and 7, Alchemy Emperors, level 8 and some are able to refine level 9. Alchemy Gods... Well, they are supposedly nonexistent. However, there are myths regarding Alchemy Gods that I have found inside my brain because of the legacy given by Senior Tang. Alchemy Gods, are existences that... That can easily refine a level 10 pill... It is said that Alchemy Gods might not be powerful in terms of Martial Power but they can easily persuade experts to do their bidding for them." Wang Tian gasped in shock by the information. But he quickly calmed himself. He thought to himself that if he's gonna react this way every time his knowledge expands, then he might as well bang his head on a wall.

"Senior Tang Jixian was an Alchemy King. A revered alchemy king that could refine a level 7 pill. Senior Tang Jixian supposedly had the talent to become an Alchemy emperor but he loved the martial dao more than the pill dao." Wang Tian was excited by this point.

"So does that mean... That the informations passed down to me by Senior Tang regarding alchemy is that of an Alchemy King?!" Wang Tian felt delighted.

Back in his past life, Wang Tian was very interested in how medicine was made. He always searched on his laptop or phone on how to make medicine. Wang Tian wanted to be a doctor that could cure illnesses that weren't easily cured. Like the illness that he had. Lung Cancer. But he wasn't given the chance to do so.

His eyes shone and he said to himself,
"Is this the heaven's way of telling me that they're sorry for taking my life when I was just 20 years old?"


'If I could become an Alchemist King like Senior Tang...' Wang Tian daydreamed. But then he remembered what his Father told him.

"Power is Law"

'Without sufficient power, I won't be able to protect myself. Even if I could order experts to do my bidding, that would still be utilizing external forces." Wang Tian contemplated.

"In the end, it all comes down to myself" Wang Tian continued.


Wang Tian quickly calmed himself down.

He looked around hoping to see if there were more storage rings or treasures hidden in this place. He searched his brains but his face became gloomy again.

"There are 1,2,3,4,5 and a hundred more storage rings..." Wang Tian pointed towards a few empty spaces. "But I can't open them. It seems that it has something to do with cultivating that Void Creation Technique."


He sighed and then decides to come out of the room after thinking about it. He figured that he could always come back since this place is now technically his property.


Wang Tian opened the door and went outside.

The dragon looked at Wang Tian and his eyes shined brightly.

'His aura is similar to that of master. Does this mean that it's a success?' the dragon thought to itself.


"Little D" Wang Tian called out towards the dragon with a smile. The dragon roared and was shocked. "Little D" was a nickname given to him by his master. Only his master knew it and called him by that nickname. 'It really seems that he's successful in obtaining master's legacy'

"Young master" the dragon said and bowed to Wang Tian. Even if the dragon was of a race that were very arrogant, he still has to bow towards the successor of his master.


Wang Tian couldn't help but smile when he saw this.


"Hey brat! You succeeded? Quickly let me out! If you do, then I'll consider taking you in as my disciple!" Liu Hao said with happily. It was as if he was talking to a fool. 'Hmp! This little brat really succeeded? I'll accept his brat as my disciple and then after we leave this place, I'll suck the legacy out of him and steal all of the treasures on his body.' Liu Hao thought to himself evilly.

Wang Tian was a bit surprised by what Liu Hao said. 'Is this guy making me laugh? Why would I even need a master when I already have the experience and knowledge of Senior Tang? And there's this thing about that mysterious figure who gave me a new life. I'm supposed to be his successor... Furthermore, if i were to acknowledge a master, then it wouldn't be someone as pathetic as this guy.'

'Judging from the experience and knowledge that I gained from Senior Tang, this Liu Hao is coveting the legacy and is planning to trick me into being his disciple.' Wang Tian was able to quickly analyze the situation based on the knowledge and experience Tang Jixiu gave him.


"What?! Are you serious?? Are you really going to take me as your disciple?" Wang Tian's face was that of immense shock. His acting was really good!

Liu Hao laughed at this scene and then said, "of course, of course! Anything for you my child!" Liu Hao acted all pretentiously.

"Then future-master... Forgive this junior for being greedy but don't you have any gifts for me since I'm going to be your disciple?" Wang Tian shamelessly said.


Liu Hao's eyebrows twitched and then he waved his hand. In an instant, a dagger that was at least a high grade sky weapon appeared. It had a magical appearance. Its edges were very sharp and the handles exuded a very frightening presence. He flicked it towards Wang Tian.


Wang Tian received it and then he examined the dagger. He felt happy inside. This dagger was a high grade false immortal weapon.

Weapons were divided into

Mortal - low, mid, and high grade.

Earth - low, mid, and high grade.

Sky - low, mid, and high grade.

Then there were two more levels which where identified as

False immortal and True immortal weapons. They are both divided into low, mid and high grade.

Although a high grade sky weapon is not much compared to the latter two, they were still very powerful and only those powerful cultivators possessed such weapons. Many times, they're hidden deeply underground some sects since they're considered as their sacred treasure.

Now, a weapon of such high caliber was given to Wang Tian. How could he not be excited? He did not try to hide it nor did he intend to. Liu Hao only scoffed at this scene. How was a high grade sky weapon costly to him? He had thousands of other high grade sky weapons. In fact, he had so many that it was a common sight inside his bag of holding. He even had numerable false immortal weapons and a few true immortal weapons. He looked at Wang Tian in disdain.

A seemingly ordinary boy dies, meets a mysterious figure that grants him a new life. He regrets everything he has done in his previous life and swore to cherish his life if he ever gets a chance. Read how he becomes The King Of All Heavens.

 

"Geniuses? Puny Imbeciles. They are not worth a single coin to me. I will eradicate and kill them all regardless of their origin. They are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes."

"Gods and Demons?  I'll bathe in their blood. Even Emperors will personally come to greet me. Lest they wanna die"

-As the sun rose over the horizon, birds could be heard singing their morning songs and the loud play of a cat and dog outside was so loud that it could wake up all of the neighbors. But there were no neighbors in this neighborhood, the only thing there was is a hotel, but not even the cat and dogs play could wake up the person sleeping inside. It was Sarah, she had an existing few days so the deep sleep was needed.

-unfortunately, her sleep was interrupted with a loud doorbell rang, on the front door of the hotel. The usual mailman had left a package with her name on it and left to deliver other mail. Needing to go and pick up the package meant needing to get up from the bed and wake up, she didn't want to do that but ended up doing it none the less because the package that came wan an important one, not for her but for Rin.

"Ding Dong!"

"...Ahhh, so early! I know the earlier the better but it's only five-thirty."

-While still having bed hair, Serah put on a bathrobe as to not go down naked and slowly made her way down by using the elevator.

-While walking towards the elevator she tried to be as quiet as possible as to not wake up Rin who was sleeping in his room down the corridor.  Arriving at the lobby she made her way towards the door and opened it, just to find a quite large box standing in front of her. Not expecting it to be as big, she just stood there in wonder before taking it inside. The package was heavy, no doubt but with some effort on her part, she managed to drag it inside all the way up to their living room.

"It's bigger and heavier then I thought, oh well. Now to open this baby up!"

-Just as she was expecting the package was full of books and study materials, going through English, math, history, art, science, etc. for all of the grades he missed. Being only six in the morning she thought to herself that "It was too early to wake him up." that "He needs rest, just like Jurlina said." so Serah decided to go back to bed, but before going a low but still noticeable squeaking sound came to her attention, she thought she just imagining it, but no, as she became more and more awake she could tell that the squeaking sounds were definitely coming from Rin's room.

-She was worried about what might be happening so she walked closer and closer to his room and once finding herself directly in front of it, now not only squeaking could be heard but also deep breaths as they were being taken in and released. As soon as she heard it her face took a bright red color as her imagination started running wild, she knew Rin was a boy in puberty but it was still wrong of him doing so. She opened the door and walked right in, but what she found was an even worse sight. Rin, only wearing pants while the upper half of his body was covered by bandages was doing push-ups on the floor covered in a pool of his own sweet.

"236...huh, 237...huh, 23.."

"What are you doing!"-She screamed at the top of her lungs.

-Serah barged into his room in expectation of finding him doing acts of puberty and giving him a good old fashioned scream and a lecture that all mothers do. But seeing him training only made her angry which she showed by yelling at him.

"The Doctor said you shouldn't train, that your body is in critical condition! Why are you training?"

-Surprised to see her, Rin stopped doing the push-ups and dried his body off from the sweat. He sat down on his bed and told Serah that she shouldn't worry, somehow the pain just disappeared overnight and he's even able to move normally now.

"Don't you "The pain went away!" me!"

...I can't stop training, I need to get stronger even if it hurts, even if it destroys my body. Because for him I'm willing to go that far!

"Honestly, it doesn't hurt... plus I need to get stronger, it's for my friend.... so please!"

-Just standing there in silence Serah reminiscent to the talk she had with August a few hours ago. She called Jurlina on the phone while Rin was asleep and asked him about everything that happened to the boy. Do to the law Jurlina was unable to provide her with that information but Serah can get the information she wants out from people, even if it needs to be by not so pleasant ways. Jurlina was in a stalemate and gave her August's number, who once she called him answered every last one of her questions, but advised her not to put any kind of mental strain on the boy as he might still be under trauma even if he didn't show it. 

"Are you sure it doesn't hurt anywhere? I'm worried about you... you know!"

"It doesn't! By some miracle my body has already healed, must be because of  the Doctor's ability."

I know that I shouldn't allow this... but if he says it's fine then I guess its alright. He knows best how his body feels... so God, please tell me I'm not making the wrong decision.

"If you say that your body isn't in any pain then I will allow slight exercise, but no training with waits or heavy things is that clear!"

"Of course! Thank you, auntie!"

-Rin was happy by her design and showed her just how happy he was by giving her a big hug. Seeing how happy he was Serah accepted his hug and gave one back, it lasted for a few seconds but because he was still coved in sweat from all the training she pushed him off and told him to get wiped off and come to the living room.

"Ok, that's enough hugging, go wipe the sweet off and come to the living room, your study materials have arrived."

-He took a towel that was lying down on the floor and wiped himself off.

"They have? that was fast!"

"Not only that but the exam dates have been sent as well, want to go take a look?"

"Yes gladly, but give me just a minute I need o get dressed first, so you go ahead."

"Ok, I'll start unpacking then."

-Serah left his room and closed the door, as soon as she did Rin just stood there waiting until he couldn't hear her footsteps anymore. Once he was sure Serah had left, Rin fell to the ground to his knees and coughed up blood. His right-hand was gripping the bandages around his heart, while his left one was placed on the ground, supporting himself. 

-It was as clear as day that his previous statement was nothing but a lie, and his body is nowhere near being fully recovered. While performing the push-ups he could fell his body refusing his will to train and fought against it. His body was already at its limit from the training but that hug he gave her was the final bullet it seems.

Shit! Doing the push-ups alone was hard enough when I gave auntie that hug my body just discovered a whole new meaning of pain. But I can't show her that. If I do, she won't allow me to train so I just have to suck it up.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Anyway... need to find a shirt. I haven't seen anything so pretty or soft in my entire life! Just what kind of fabric is this?"

-While going through the closet, every piece of clothing he saw was different, all of them were pretty and stylish. Just the type of clothes a boy his age would wear, not too colorful nor with any additional adding. There were many collars going from bright red to dark black, and the material was unlike any other, it was soft and worm just perfect for the body.

-From all the clothes in the closet he chose a simple and basic black t-shirt, having his pants already on him he closed the closet and took a deep breath before leaving his room.

"Now pretend as nothing happened."

-He opened the door and left pretending as nothing had happened. As he walked into the living room Serah had already opened the package and was currently sorting the material by the grade.

"Are those it?"
 
-He asked her while entering the living room and sitting next to Serah on the sofa. In front of him were a small gray table and a big pile of books stacked on top of it. He took one of the books which by chance happened to be a math book and opened I up. He looked through the pages while thinking to himself in silence.

It doesn't seem too hard, some of the things in here I already have a grasp of. Two weeks should be enough to learn all of this, and if the other books contain even more materials that I already know, then it should take even less time.

"Ah! Sorry I didn't notice you. It's just, I feel like a real mom whose preparing his son for school, so I'm excited and happy and... and hahaha."

-She was unable to keep it all inside any more and released her happiness in the form of laughter, it wasn't because Rin said or did something funny but because of how happy she felt at that moment. But on another hand, Rin himself couldn't feel that happiness she did.

-It wasn't like he didn't want to laugh and smile with her, it made him happy knowing she's happy but to him doing so just didn't feel right. This feeling deep inside of his heart, a feeling of guilt and anxiety. Even if putting up a front was easy for him before, seeing how she smiled and was truly happy made him realize he couldn't smile "Just because" anymore.

-He thought that if Alexander couldn't smile like that anymore then why should he be able to, thinking like that made his judgments even more blinded and distorted then before. 

-The only thing Rin could do was sit there in silence as Serah laughed, full of happiness and continued going through the books as his mind slowly turned more and more distorted and filled with a dark fog of gloominess. It felt as if he carried hundreds of tons worth of weight on his back, and day by day the weight would increase until he would eventually collapse from it and be destroyed.

-Serah noticed the dark clouds forming around him and stopped laughing, she felt bad for doing so especially knowing the kind of situation he was in. She stood up from the sofa and engaged in conversation to lighten the mood while she stretched her body.

"Well in the envelope it said that you have three weeks before the tests, so we should get started. But before that, I was thinking of making us breakfast so... would you like helping me?"

-Even an infant could see what she was trying to do. She wanted to make him feel a little batter as well as spent some quality mother and son time together while bonding, killing two birds with one stone. But Rin had other ideas.

"I'm sorry... I'm not a good cook so I wouldn't be of much help, I'll just go to my room and start studying by my self."

"oh...ok then..."

-Serah was otherly disappointed by his decision, it didn't matter if he was good or bad at cooking all she wanted to do was spend some bonding time together. And the fact he said he's going to study by himself meant he didn't want her help with that either. If anything she was proud of her degrees and thought she could at least help him with that but in the end, it was pointless. She just went to her room changed into more suitable clothes and started preparing breakfast, as it seems that was all she could help him with. 

-On the other hand, Rin who just entered his room sat down behind his deck and looked at the piece of paper he took from the living room. The piece of paper he was looking at was a sheet that had the date and the subjects that were going to be on the exams. 

So in three week's time, I'm going to take the exams for the five grades that I missed and if I pass them, the next week I'm scheduled to take the entrance exam. That's a pretty close schedule, when I pass the entrance exam there will be literally one day before I have to leave for the academy. The examination will take place in one of the local high schools in which a few teachers from Magicians high will test me through a series of mental and physical tests to determine if I'm capable of entering.

 And the scariest part is that there is no redoing. If I mess up even once, if I get a single question wrong I fail and will need to retake the years I lost in middle school one by one! Yeah right, as if that would happen. but if I fail the magician's high entrance exam I will be allowed to try out for another school, in the end, I don't need to be a Magician in order to bring him back.

-Leaning back at the chair on which he was sitting on a singular through went through his head. "How long will it take?", he asked himself just how long it will take him to bring back Alexander, but wasting precious time thinking about it was pointless. What mattered now were actions, Rin knew that the only thing he had to do now was study in order to pass and so he did. He took the pair of glasses Serah had left him at the dest the night before and but them on, opened the math book and started studying.

-And so days passed as though they were minutes. His days were always simular, getting up at four in the morning and start training for the next two hours. Next comes a warm shower and then studying. Every morning Serah would come in his room and ask him if there was anything he needed, followed by a request to spent some time together but he would refuse her every single time. He would eat breakfast together with her then get back into his room and study, the same was for lunch as well as diner. He studied until late at night, because he couldn't fall asleep all by himself. Every time he closes his eyes, the event that occurred in the OverWorld haunts him making him unable to fall asleep by himself, that's why he studies until he falls asleep and doesn't notice it.

-Ten days passed and Rin was finally finished. He learned everything there was to learn in those books, now the only priority left was Little star. During his fight with Hora, he used up all of the energy he had and was now at zero.

"Now, what should I do about you? For the past ten days, I gathered all the energy I could in this hotel but it's nowhere near enough, its around 0,001 percent of what I had in the fight with Vladimir. If I end up needing to fight someone his strength again I need more power."

-It was one in the morning and the low sound of footsteps could be heard as Rin left his room and was making his way towards the living room. He was trying to be as quiet as possible as to not wake up Serah who was sleeping in her room, or at least she was supposed to.  Once he entered the living room he was faced with an unexpected sight. Her hear was a mess, she wore a pair of glasses and oversized clothes that made her look like a worn-out worker as she was sleeping on the desk in the living room, drooling all over a piece of paper with a drawing of a dress on it. The entire room was filled with pens and coloring utensils as well as drawings of dresses and various kinds of clothing. After seeing this sight Rin returned to his room, took the blanket off of his bed and cover her up.

-Before leaving, he changed his clothes into something more suitable for going outside. A pair of skin-tight jeans black shirt and a west that reached down till his knees. He took Kanashimi and sheeted him in case of any trouble.

-He entered the elevator and made his way down to the lobby. Using the spare key Serah gave him he unlocked the front door, left and locked it behind himself. As he was leaving the hotel grounds he was making his way towards the nearby city he saw as they were driving here.

"There are a lot of people here seeing as its this late!"
To charge little star I need to take the energy from objects and items, old ones if possible.

-Passing by the side of the street his hand grazed the walls of the buildings, taking the energy of the bricks and stone it was built out of. but it still wasn't enough, as the bricks from which the buildings were built weren't older than twenty or thirty years making the energy supply as little as zero.

Even this has so little energy, just how old was the OverWorld if one boulder there is like fifty thousand buildings here.

"Bump!"

-Not paying attention to where he was going Rin bumped into an older looking person, dressed quite poorly he had an evil and dirty expressions on his face. He wasn't alone one more person was next to him, a man whose expression was just as dirty and rotten as his friends.

"Aw! kid look where your walking, haven't your parents thought you any manner?"

"Hey look, Bob, isn't he dressed pretty expensive for his age?"

"Your right! Must be some rich pigs boy, hey I have an Idea lets go in the ally so you can repay me for the injury you caused me."

"hahahahahaha yeah, yeah!"

-The person referred to as Bob grabbed Rin by his arm and threw him into the dark alleyway. They were far from the streets now and there were no people nearby, only darkness from the night that covered them under the slight light of a lamp that twitched so much it seemed as if it could go out at any moment. The two men thought they could rob him and get some quick cash but as they soon found out that would be the biggest mistake of their life.

-As he slowly got back up to his feet, the two men stopped as their bodies were filled with nothing but fear. Presence similar to that of a monster, they were left scared down to their bones and precisely at that moment the slight light that covered them decided to go out leaving the in the cover of darkness, but in that darkness, they saw a singular light, a murderous glow shined in Rin's eye as his blood lust filled the air every passing second before the deciding moment came to pass.

"...Wyvern dash!"

-He went through them, cutting them as easy as butter. Rin swung his blade up and down to get the blood off of Kanashimi before sheeting it once again. Behind him, he noticed a shadow moving but wasn't sure what it was so he didn't take it as an enemy here to fight.

-Rin realized that people are going to getter after their bodies were found so he jumped to the sides of the buildings an escaped to the rooftop a few blocks away from the scene.

"It seems my body has recovered quite well in the past few days. I'm not at a hundred percent yet but soon..."

-While sitting at the edge of the building and monologing to himself he admired the beautiful scenery he saw of the city in the night. Even if a place was as beautiful as this it still has scum like those people and unfortunately for them, Rin has no mercy for those kinds of people.

"A beautiful sight is it not!"

-Suprised from the sudden presence appearing from behind him, just a moment ago he couldn't sense anyone and now a person wearing a white mask that covered his entire face, white slicked backward hair and wearing a what would seem to be a bartender outfit which consisted of a white blouse, a long black tie, a black sleeveless vest and a black pair of pants.

-Rin put his hand on Kanashimi all the while his hands shook from fear of this man's presence. If he had to compare it, he was as strong if not stronger than Vladimir himself, and it was easy to say that Rin was overwhelmed by his presence.

"W-who are you?"

-Slowly bending forth with one arm at his stomach and the other in the air he answered his question.

"They call me Phantom, I'm a broker!"

With the appearance of Será, humans found themselves capable of manifesting supernatural abilities. Those who let this power go to their heads and use it for the wrong purposes are left facing the Magicians Association, a group of individuals who use their abilities to protect the people from such criminals and make their every day lives safer. Rin, a young man with a dark past behind him is in search of a power that can allow him to resurrect the dead, and in order to find it, he must face every problem that stands in his way and overcome it, no matter who or what it is.

All three of them were refining first-grade spirit pills.
This really was the true showdown.
All the spectators began to get excited, and the atmosphere reached a climax.
"Divine Flames and Holy Flames have all made an appearance! What a sight to behold!"
"It really is! Never did I think that I would be able to witness competitors refining first-grade spirit pills in a competition like this."
"The last competitor in this competition that managed to successfully refine a first-grade spirit pill was Ling Mu The Enlightened, who is now one of the eight Supreme Stage masters of our Pill Tower. But that was thousands of years ago."
"He was the complete standout back then, but now… There are three competitors battling it out! There has never been such a stimulating and thrilling matchup in the history of this competition!!" 
"Go! Goddess Fanny! Beat those two human pill refinement masters!"
Some of the spectators were already shouting.
Even though Pill City was a city of migrants, the majority of its inhabitants were still native to the land, and thus, they were more inclined toward supporting Fanny. 
As such, over half the spectators were cheering Fanny on.
Of course, Fanny was unable to hear them.
She had already unleashed a spell technique to cut off all sound from the outside environment. It would be an absolute joke to expect someone to be able to refine pills in such a noisy environment!
However, it didn't really matter to An Lin. It wasn't as if he was refining the pill.
He was on AFK mode, and the real pill refinement master was the flaming vermilion bird in his sea of vital energy.
The flaming vermilion bird was extremely proficient at pill refinement, and after seeing the pill refinement recipe, it began to manipulate the Holy Vermilion Flame to extract the essence from the ingredients at flying speed.
An Lin shot a glance at Fanny to find that her pill refinement was not much inferior to his.
No… He had to widen the gap, or it would be far too close for comfort!
An Lin's pill refinement rank was limited by the vermilion bird. His technique and flame control were close to perfection, but there was no way to elevate the intelligence in his pills, so it would be impossible for him to refine an immortal pill.
What else… What else could he do to improve the spirit pill's quality?
Boom!
At this moment, the Golden Soul Crystal Flame suddenly exploded, and its unique flame power enhanced the spirit pill to make its energy fluctuations even more powerful.
An Lin suddenly had a eureka moment.
That's right… Flames could enhance a spirit pill's quality!
What he was using now was already the highest level flame.
However, who stipulated that he could only use one flame?
A mediocre flame would negatively affect the quality of the pill rather than enhance it, but his Divine Flames were all extremely high-level flames! If he was to inject their powers into the pill, the quality of his pill would definitely go up another level.
If this were someone else, they wouldn't even dare to think about controlling two types of flames at once.
Pill refinement wasn't a battle. It required extremely accurate control over the flames with no margin for error and negligence.
An Lin wasn't capable of this, but… the flaming vermilion bird was!
"Is it feasible?" He asked in his mind.
The vermilion bird's consciousness replied, "No problem. However, you're going to be even more exhausted after the event." 
Exhaustion was nothing if it was for his disciple's happiness…
An Lin raised his head to reveal a confident expression. "Let's do it!"
The first-grade spirit pill he was refining was known as the Seven Star Meridian Pill, which was refined from combining the essence of forty-nine different types of high-rank spirit medicines. It had the effects of clearing one's meridians, cleansing one's body, and expanding one's sea of vital energy.
"Now then, let's show these idiots a real display of flames."
He snapped his fingers. 
Boom!
A purple flame with specks of starlight infused within appeared in the air while radiating scorching light, thus creating an extremely glorious scene to behold.
"My God! Look at An Lin! Did he just pull out another Divine Flame? Is he going to control both of them at once?"
They knew that An Lin possessed one type of Divine Flame, so they weren't too surprised.
However, when the Demonic Star Flame began to flow into his cauldron, all of them rose to their feet.
"Holy f*ck! Using two different types of flames to refine pills at once? Has An Lin gone insane?!"
"Pill refinement with two types of flames is something even many of the Pill Tower elders are unable to accomplish, but An Lin dares to try it?"
"I refuse to believe that such a young man would be capable of this!"
Just as everyone was discussing among themselves, all of them fell silent again as their mouths gaped open in shock.
Snap! 
An Lin snapped his fingers again.
Boom!
A ball of crimson flames appeared in the air, coloring the entire sky red and sending scorching heatwaves radiating outward.
The Mutant Blood Phoenix flames had appeared!
The flames appeared as if it would burn for all of eternity as the power of life and slaughter surged through the air. All of the spectators and elders were well and truly shocked upon seeing this.
"Am I seeing this right? Tho-those are Divine Flames, right?"
"Such pure flame energy… There's no mistaking it, those are indeed Divine Flames!"
 "Gasp… An Lin has another type of Divine Flame?"
"My God! I'm so envious!"
The biggest dream of countless pill refinement masters was to own just one type of Divine Flame. However, An Lin had already pulled out two…
Fanny was right beside An Lin, and she saw An Lin's Divine Flames too. Her body trembled involuntarily, and she felt for the first time that having a Divine Flame wasn't anything to be proud of.
Grey, who was spectating from the sidelines, felt that his legs began to tremble again as he was struck by the inexplicable urge to kneel down. Was there no end to this? How much longer was An Lin going to show off for?
Snap!
 Everyone had only just come to their senses when this familiar sound erupted again.
That's right, An Lin had snapped his fingers again.
Boom!
Flames as blue as water, seemingly both hot and cold at once, appeared in the night sky. It gave everyone a scorching yet subdued impression, but no one dared to look down on it as it was another Divine Flame…
This was An Lin's Setting Moon Flame.
Fanny's features paled as she roared in her heart, "Did he stumble upon some sort of Divine Flame garage sale? Show me another f*cking Divine Flame if you dare!"
Snap!
An Lin snapped his fingers yet again.
Boom!
Scorching white flames lit up the night sky as if the sun had risen in this land of eternal night. It was so dazzling, that all the spectators had to shield their eyes.
Fanny: "…"
All the onlookers: "…"
The Pill Tower elders: "…"
"Are those really all Divine Flames? I'm not dreaming, right?" Ban Yue's expression was filled with incredulity.
Julia silently disembarked from the competition platform. "I'm not playing this game anymore. This is no competition, it's An Lin's personal show! I'm not going to embarrass myself any further!"
Grey watched as his cousin, Julia, walked off the stage, and he didn't know what to say.
Right at this moment, another crisp snap sounded.
All the spectators turned toward the competition platform again. Their instincts told them that another Divine Flame was about to appear…
"Huh… Why is there no Divine Flame this time?" someone asked.
A black, shadow monster widened its shiny green eyes in shock. "No! Look at the air! Isn't it warping slightly? This is a very peculiar type of flames!"
One of the Pill Tower elders' eyes narrowed. "This flame has no shape or color, but it's able to incinerate and pulverize all things… What a pure flame power!"
Another Pill Tower elder nodded in agreement. "This is undoubtedly another very special type of Divine Flame!"
More and more spectators were beginning to identify An Lin's flames.
They were numb from all the flames they were seeing.
Right at this moment, another crisp snap sounded.
The Divine Flame Bead appeared in An Lin's hand, and a golden flaming dragon soared into the sky. This was the Divine Flame that came with the high-rank immortal tool. That's right, it was another new type of Divine Flame!
The Pill Tower elders: "…"
Fanny: "…"
The hundreds of thousands of spectators: "…"
An Lin tossed out one Divine Flame after another, as if there were a place that was handing them out for free, and everyone at the dao plaza suffered emotional trauma.
Reverence, admiration, envy, hatred… All types of emotions ran rampant.
The Holy Vermilion Bird Flame, the flames of the Mutant Blood Phoenix, the Great Holy Flame, the Setting Moon Flame, the Demonic Star Flame, the Heavenly Void Flame, and the Golden Dragon Flame… All seven types of flames that were owned by An Lin appeared while blinding countless onlookers in the process.
Grey's trembling legs were finally unable to hold on as he knelt down again.
"How? How could he be so outstanding?!"
Grey's words echoed the sentiment of countless spectators. An Lin was ridiculously outstanding!
An Lin looked up at the display of flames with a faint smile on his face.
"That's seven types of flames gathered at once. I can summon Shenron[1] now!"
[1] Shenron is the divine dragon in Dragon Ball Z that can be summoned after gathering all seven dragon balls.

Taki.
Eri Kashiwagi.
Following the two names, Xia Yu made good use of the search engine and immediately found the blog and Twitter.
Taki's blog used the CG picture of a game as a wallpaper. And a gourmet blog post was very eye-catching amongst the anime, gaming evaluation and news.
Xia Yu clicked in to check it out, and he was stunned.
Cuisine was not the key. This guy showed a lot of respect to the tea in the shop.
He turned off the page and went to Twitter. He tried to find the user 'Eri Kashiwagi'.
Unlike blogs which were full of words, the Eri Kashiwagi's twitter was almost full of 18-plus pictures that made your heart beat faster.
The previous article of the food tweet was a manuscript of a female fan characters that had not been colored yet.
18-plus female painter?
Take me for a drive!
Xia Yu finally discovered the reason of that familiarity.
The pseudonym Eri Kashiwagi was from 'The Ways to Cultivate Passers-by'. He felt this was probably not a coincidence.
On the basis of speculation, Xia Yu was even more curious about the food tweets of 'Kashiwagi', so he clicked to read carefully.
Tea again!
Tweets from the female painter rarely mentioned the main courses. There was only a brief comment with pictures for main courses. It was as if her words were as expensive as gold.
But for the tea in the shop, the female painter used many words of praise.
High-quality tea that was not available in Togetsu Resort?
Xia Yu looked at it and laughed.
He had drunk this tea since he was young. Because he hadn't tasted the tea outside, it was not easy for Xia Yu to make comments.
However, he agreed with the magic of his own tea.
The quality of tea was quite good. The old man ordered him to buy it back from a specific old shop, and there was not much left.
However, tea and brewing skills were not the key. The key was water quality!
Mu Xiaoyue asked him when brewing tea last night.
Why not use drinking grade water?
In Xia Yu's subconscious mind, the water in the old antique water tank had the quality of a mountain spring, which was the most suitable for making tea!
"Oh, that stone..."
He put the mobile phone into his pocket. Xia Yu rushed downstairs and went into the kitchen. He put his hands into the cold water tank and took out the wet and slippery black egg stone.
In Xia's restaurant, one of the incredible things was this stone!
Xia Yu recently focused on cooking and he almost forgot about this stone. The old man left, but the stone was still there. He could be rest assured to study it.
"System, identify it!"
"Ding. Unknown prop. The analysis sample is under construction. The estimated consumption time is 30 days."
Xia Yu was astonished by the answer of the Chef God System.
30 days for analysis?!
What!
Xia Yu held his breath. "System, you said this egg stone is a kitchen prop?"
"Yes."
"In preliminary analysis, this system speculates that this stone has the effect of purifying water quality, and during the purification process, various trace mineral elements are produced. The final analysis result will take some time to be produced for the host." 
Xia Yu got an answer from the system and he was both excited and uneasy. 
The exciting thing was this item was hard to identify even with the Chef God System! 
The uneasy thing was that such a pebble stone could actually purify water quality, which was not scientific at all. 
Alright. 
Xia Yu thought of his own Chef God System, and he realized that he was the most unscientific existence. Then, he suddenly calmed down. 
"Kitchenware..." Xia Yu pondered. 
The Chinese Little Master Chef also had legendary kitchenware. 
There were all kinds of incredible food hunters for those who were captivated by food. 
This was not an ordinary world. 
He could be sure that this kind of high-quality food hunter did not exist, but for the time being, it was hard to deny the existence of legendary kitchenware. 
He had no clue. Xia Yu put the egg stone back into the water tank and went to the yard. He opened the well lid, took two buckets of well water back to the kitchen, and filled the water tank.
Old-fashioned Japanese houses usually had water wells which were usually covered with lids. If a major earthquake occurred and the water pipe broke, the water well could ensure the sustainability of domestic water. However, in recent years, with the explosion of the population in Tokyo, old-fashioned houses were rare. It was usually either apartments or modern small houses.
Xia Yu nodded secretly whilst looking at the full tank of well water.
Soon, the well water would undergo qualitative changes.
Water was not only the source of life, but also the source of cooking.
If other chefs challenged him in a food war, he already had an advantage at the source.
Xia Yu stood in the kitchen and turned his attention back to a large amount of fame he gained. Xia Yu hesitated. He didn't know how to effectively use the resources.
It would be a waste if they were all used to buy the Chef God Space time.
He remembered that the average price of a blue recipe was 500 points of fame, and the average price of blue permanent kitchenware and blue extended skill books were 1000 points.
"That's right!"
Xia Yu patted his forehead.
Two well-known figures in the ACG circle praised the tea in the store. Did it mean that he could develop this area more?
A good main course was not enough for a good restaurant.
He was not like the old man who didn't want to change. In the new era, he had to keep up with the times. In short, the shop was in his hands, and he could not treat the guests as roughly as he once did.
Service-oriented!
The skills of brewing tea and coffee could be extended. However, the small shop specialized in Chinese cuisine. Even if the coffee was classic, the tea was more classic and considered more suitable for the restaurant atmosphere.
Moreover, Xia Yu also had a certain foundation of tea ceremony when he was punished by the old man. It was reasonable to extend this area.
Summoning the mall, his eyes were flooded with a variety of props. Xia Yu swallowed and said, "System, please screen out the tea skill extension skill books that can be purchased!"
Di.
Only three quaint books remained after the screening of the props of the Chef God Mall.
The first was blue. Intermediate tea ceremony. A thousand points of fame. 
The second was purple. High-end tea ceremony. Ten thousand points. 
The third was a golden book. God-level tea ceremony. One hundred thousand points. 
"It's expensive!" Xia Yu's face twitched and his heart shook. 
The intermediate tea ceremony skill book was a thousand points, and was acceptable, but later, high-level and god-level tea ceremony had scary prices. 
"Host has already accumulated through life to activate the 'primary tea ceremony', and now only needs to directly purchase the intermediate tea ceremony to learn." 
The Chef God System said, "The system recommends the host to expand the tea ceremony. It is estimated that the return rate of guests will increase by more than 50%."
"Good! Buy, buy, buy!" Xia Yu gritted his teeth and made up his mind. 
In the catering industry, who did not want to keep guests?
After all, the advertising only lasted for a while. If you couldn't keep the guests, when the heat was over, although the restaurant would not go back to the previous deserted state, the development would be limited.
Either do your best or don't do it at all. 
Xia Yu's expectation of the restaurant was not only to make it famous in the 11th district, but to also attract foodies from all over the world in the future and gain worldwide praise. 
This was the dream of a store manager and professional chef! 
System: "Successfully purchased!"
System: "1000 fame points deducted." 
A simple blue skill book appeared in the inventory. Xia Yu touched it, clicked to use it, and suddenly felt a large stream of information stuffed into his brain.
Xia Yu closed his eyes.
After ten minutes, Xia Yu opened his eyes again and immediately filled a water kettle with water and placed it on the gas stove. 
Soon, the kitchen was full of a tea aroma. An Ya and Mu Xiaoyue were cleaning outside, and they chased the smell. They stood at the door of the kitchen and looked with surprise at the teenager who was making tea seriously in front of the kitchen counter. 
His silhouette showed the two a strange charm, just like a famous artist who focused on tea art. He was classical and elegant.


Xia Yu made a wish to eat until he vomited. And this particular wish brought him to a completely strange spirit world which was full of cuisines.
What, Chef God System?
"You need to not only satisfy normal people's appetite but also all kinds of devils and ghosts. Use your food to move them!" the old man said to him coolly.
So, Xia Yu would never stop running on the road of becoming a Chef God.
