A medical doctor falls in love with a photographer and get married, they decide to take a vacation to an African country, their curiosity brought them into the shuddery woods and they become preys to the pernicious predator—ambivalent of their survival.

Fell Woods, which stretches more than ten thousand li, has a unique position on Xingchen Continent. It occupies an extremely large area, with ten thousand li round dense jungles and a unique climate that nurtures a number of fierce Demon Beasts. The high-order Demon Beast rarely seen outside can be seen everywhere in Fell Woods. Even in the core area of ​​Fell Woods, there are terrifying ten-tier Sacred Realm Demon Beasts, whose fame is enough to scare countless people.

However, as the so-called wealth insurance seeks, although Fell Woods is extremely dangerous, it is also rich in natural resources and countless treasures. Besides, the Demonic Core of countless high-end Demon Beasts is an inconceivable wealth, so many Mage and Martial Artists on the Continental are also very keen to come here for adventure, after all, the wealth is moving. And Fell Woods is not dangerous everywhere, and the marginal area and outer area are not too dangerous. Only the inner area and the core area are Great Ominous Land.

And just before a waterfall in Fell Woods, a youngster was sitting idly on the side of the rock, wondering what he was thinking.

Youngster looks only 14-15 years old, with a thin figure, delicate and pretty brows, and a faint faintness in her clear eyes, which seems to know something to do.

Youngster stayed for a while, looked up, looked at the three suns hanging in the sky at the same time, could not help but smile bitterly: himself … really transmigrated?

Youngster is actually called Feng Zichen. It was originally an ordinary high school student in Huaxia who lived on Earth. Every day, he lived at home—Academy—with three points and a line of life. It is no different from the number of high-hundred thousand high school students in Huaxia earth. Normally, I don't have much interest in hobby, just like watching some bloody Anime and novels, and from time to time, I like to write a few paragraphs myself to chat and console.

It can be said that this is a boy who can't be more ordinary. His life can be foreseen as if it were the vast majority of people: work hard to study the last university I still watched in the past, step into the society after four years of study, and get into trouble After playing for a few years, I saved a little savings, and found an equally ordinary girlfriend, married, and had children; the two struggled to feed the family together, and after decades of mediocre, the son grews into an adult, married wife and son, and grandchildren, finally flat. Live a faint life until death. Life is peaceful as if a pool of standing water, without any waves.

This is the original life track of Feng Zichen, but not long ago, his life was completely changed.

transmigrated, such a magical and mysterious thing came to myself, which really made Feng Zichen not knowing what to do. panic? Anyone who suddenly comes to a completely strange world will be afraid from the heart; excited? It's a bit, but it's more dazed, I don't know how to go in the future.

Alien, from the description of the novel seen on Feng Zichen's previous-life Earth, expert is affirmative, everyone follows the brutal jungle law, the weak are prey to the strong, without strength No right to live. Can "mortals" like themselves survive? Feng Zichen does not dare to expect any Protagonist aura. The tiger 's body has the first expert in the world to pay the vote. From then on, no one dares to commit crimes and live a happy life … That is a novel, not a reality; And Feng Zichen is now in this cruel reality.

sighed, Feng Zichen grumbled dissatisfied: "Anyway, it is also a generation of transmigrator, why is there no golden finger for me? Is the novel really deceiving …"

Speaking of which, Suddenly hit Feng Zichen's mind, as if something was raging in his mind. Feng Zichen yelled with so much pain and fell to the ground. The whole body was shaking, the pain was terrifying!

But the pain came quickly, and it calmed down after a few seconds. Feng Zichen, who was pale in appearance, had not yet slowly recovered, and a series of mysterious reminders sounded suddenly in his mind—

"Successfully transmigrated to Strange World-Xingchen Continent, System restarting …"

"System restart is complete, matched to host-Feng Zichen … System binding …"

"System binding is successful, loading Naruto World data is started … Loading is complete, System initialization is started …"

"Initialization is complete, Hokage Exchange System officially starts running … Didi ~ System runs for the first time, a novice gift package is issued, it has been automatically put into the backpack, please host as soon as possible …"

A series of prompts made Feng Zichen shocked slowly recovers. What did I hear? System? Spree? Is this … transmigrator's exclusive golden finger finally Awakening?

Forcing back the excitement in his heart, Feng Zichen closed his eyes tremblingly, and kept thinking about the Hokage Exchange System in his mind. According to the novel, as long as the System was silent in his mind, he could see it.

Under his great expectations, mysterious golden finger, Hokage Exchange System, really appeared, looked at the virtual light curtain that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Feng Zichen burst into tears, God did not abandon me, I said , Each transmigrator in the novel has a golden finger, or a system, or a fortuitous encounter, and then there is an old grandfather hiding in an item on his body, without reason, there is no …

Looking at the six hot stampings of Hokage Exchange System on the light screen, Feng Zichen was looking forward to it. He knew that this was the basis for his survival in this expert world like the cloud. I wonder how powerful it would be? Looking at the name of the system, it should be related to Naman on Earth, Naruto.

Feng Zichen is no stranger to Naruto, or even very familiar. After all, for a senior otaku, hot blood is an essential first gate study. Among them, "Naruto" is one of the most representative works. I think Feng Zichen was crazy about Naruto. The gorgeous Ninjutsu, the powerful Taijutsu, and the mysterious Illusion Technique all made him feel fascinated; and the various Kekkei Genkai made him covet. Is it too powerful?

Wait … Feng Zichen suddenly thought that this System was called Hokage Exchange System. Could it be said that I could exchange into Naruto World's ability? Ninjutsu? Or Kekkei Genkai?

When thinking of this, Feng Zichen couldn't help but get excited, looked at the light curtain in front of his eyes, and asked excitedly, "Is that … System? I want to know what the Hokage Exchange System does? Can I exchange it for Ninjutsu in Naruto World? ? Or something else? What am I going to do? "

Due to being too excited, Feng Zichen asked several questions at once, but fortunately System still gave a patient answer-

"The main function of this System is redemption! Redeem everything except character in Naruto World, including Ninjutsu, Illusion Technique, Taijutsu, various Ninja Tool, divide weapon, Kekkei Genkai, Summoned Beast … and so on, as long as there is enough Redemption points can be redeemed. The operation is even simpler. The host can operate the idea or manually. It also supports voice operations. Everything is chosen by the host. "

Surprise, absolutely surprise! Feng Zichen originally thought that this Hokage Exchange System could only be exchanged for Ninjutsu or Kekkei Genkai. I didn't expect that System was so powerful. It turned out to be able to exchange all the ability items in Naruto World. Now Feng Zichen is assured, even if it is outside the world. No matter how many experts, I have some confidence in this System. After all, the strength of Naruto World is not low. Looking at all the two-dimensional planes, it can also be at the forefront, like Six-Paths Madara and Otsutsuki Kaguya whose Late Stage strength reaches peak. Which one can not destroy the Heavens and exterminating the Earth? With such a heaven defying System, are you still afraid that you cannot survive in this alien world? Then this transmigrator can go and kill himself.

Feng Zichen, who had a lot of confidence, tried to click the light curtain floating in front of him. After a wave of light curtain, it was divided into seven different areas, namely-Ninjutsu area, Illusion Technique area, Taijutsu area, Ninja Tool area, Kekkei Genkai, summon and miscellaneous areas.

"It's really meticulous …" Feng Zichen's excitement subsided slightly, admiring him. Then he opened the Ninjutsu area again, and a light curtain flashed suddenly, and a densely packed Ninjutsu appeared, and the amount of it made him speechless.

"Clone Jutsu, D-Rank Ninjutsu, redemption point: 50; Body Substitution Jutsu, D-Rank Ninjutsu, redemption point: 50; Fire-Style: Little Fireball, D-Rank Ninjutsu, redemption point: 100 …"

"Fire-Style: Great Fireball Jutsu, C-Rank Ninjutsu, Redemption Point: 500; Wind-Style: Beast Palm, C-Rank Ninjutsu, Redemption Point: 600; Lightning-Style: Dirt Walk, C-Rank Ninjutsu, Redemption Point: 800; Wind-Style: Great Breakthrough, C-Rank Ninjutsu, Redemption Point: 1000 … "

"Earth-Style: Dragon Spear, B-Rank Ninjutsu, redemption point: 5000; Shadow Clone Jutsu, B-Rank Ninjutsu, redemption point: 8000; Water-Style: Water Wall, B-Rank Ninjutsu, redemption Points: 10,000 … "

Numerous Ninjutsu countless, blinded Feng Zichen's eyes. Looking at these familiar Ninjutsu in his memory, Feng Zichen wished to learn it all, but looked at the redemption point marked after each Ninjutsu on the light curtain, and then looked at the prominent zero point shown above with the redemption point … Too poor Aaaaaahhhh ～

Ninjutsu is good, but it's too expensive. Slightly stronger will require thousands of redemption points, such as Hokage's signature Ninjutsu of Protagonist Naruto-Rasengan will even require thousands of redemption points. Not to mention those stronger S-Rank and Super S-Rank Forbidden Jutsu, the required exchange point is simply an astronomical figure.

Feng Zichen's original excited mood calmed down, yeah, there is no free lunch in this world, and you have to pay more to get more. Even with System, if you don't work hard, you may fall into the sewer in this crisis-ridden world.

Darryl's words sucked something out of Xhemin. How could he say something like that in situations like this?
"Darryl Lagdamoe you are such a pervert!" Xhemin instantly pushed Darryl away and started walking her way out of the deck. She planned on getting back to the lake end, find something to cover herself then go back to east camp.
"Hey, I was just kidding" Darryl called laughing his heart out. "Come back here, somebody might see you there"
"In your face! I'd rather be seen naked than be with you!" She shouted back at the boy who was following at her back.
"I'm sorry okay?" He said still laughing hard.
"You are soo unsincere!" She blurted out.
Xhemin thought how jerk Darryl was. After everything that had happened and with so many things to discuss, how could he choose to mock her size? He was the jerkiest person she had ever met. The beast inside him had never change.
Xhemin was almost at the lake end when suddenly she noticed a two glittering circles looking at her from the wood together with a growling sound that was becoming heavy as each seconds passed.
Stunned in surprise Xhemin was caught unable to move as the small beast appeared walking slowly to her and prepared to devour her flesh.
"Bark ... bark ... bark.." The beastly dog barked at the naked girl whom he found in the middle of the night.
"What is it buddy?" Someone called for the dog nearby and just then lights started to emerge one by one and footsteps started to flood the place.
"O my God!" Xhemin exclaimed inwardly knowing that the people coming was already too close to her she had no more chance of escape.
The patrollers came with their flashlight and they caught a silhouette running toward the lake.
"There's someone on that side!" One of them shouted.
"Hey stop! Stop!" The patrollers ran back to the lake expecting to see some student campers who might have some night escapade only to find a more shocking scene.
Charging their flashlights into the lake, they saw an image of a man covering a woman, enclosing his body around hers and the most surprisingly scandalous about the fact is that they were both naked.
What are these two doing in the lake, in the middle of the night and with clothes off?
"What are you two doing here? And from which camp did you come from?" The patrollers started questioning the two, charging their flashlights into their heads as their faces were hidden — the man was on his back while he pressed the girl's head to his chest hiding her face away.
"Take your lights away from me" Darryl said and his beastly serious aura suddenly filled the place, making the patrollers recognized who he was.
"Young master is that you?" The team lead patroller came forward trying to confirm if it was really the Lagdameo heir they found naked with a girl in the lake.
"I said take those lights away from me!" Darryl repeated. His jaw tightened and his voice became stern and stony.
"Charge your lights away!" The team lead instantly chided his members when they refused to withdraw their lights the first time Darryl requested "It's the young master, idiots!"
Xhemin didn't move at all not because she wanted to —because to be honest she wanted to run fast away at the time— but because Darryl pinned her down with his arms as he tried to cover every skin of hers that was flaunting vulnerably.
"I'm sorry young master; we thought there are some student campers who were rummaging around here. We didn't think you and… ahmm … your lover will be out here…." The lead patroller apologized, trying to dismiss all the other patrollers back to the woods to give the young master and his woman some privacy they needed.
"… don't worry young master we will just leave and we'll make sure no one else come to disturb you round this area" the lead patroller added.
Did they just saw the Lagdameo heir making out with a girl?
On a lake?
Who would have thought the great Lagdameo heir had this kind of passionate raw needs?
"No need" Darryl answered him, speaking while his back was on the patrollers who were hoping to at least see the face of the girl he was with. "Just get me something to cover milady from cold"
Hearing Darryl's request, the lead patroller asked for some dry cloth they had with team that was meant for some emergencies and gave it to Darryl.
"Here young master, we have some dry cloth with us" He announced and opted to go near the couple but Darryl halted him.
"Just leave it in the ground and get back to the woods together with your team" Darryl instructed not giving anyone a chance to be near them and have a chance to see clearly any of Xhemin's skin.
"Okay Young Master" The lead patroller obeyed and put the cloth in the ground before he asked his comrades to go "Let's go. Hurry, hurry!"
Minutes past and Darryl and Xhemin were alone again. There were no more signs of patrollers and any other human being nearby.
"Are you alright?" The Lagdamoe heir asked Xhemin as he let her loose from his arms.
"Thank you," Xhemin answered. If not for Darryl, the patrollers could have seen her naked. Apart from that she was also worried about Darryl's reputation being caught naked with a girl in the lake.
Darryl tapped the girl head and brushed her hair lightly, "Come, let's get you back to east camp"
Even though she can't resist the boy, Xhemin wasn't really in the mood to be with Darryl. She still resent him and she could not dare to pretend that everything was good with them.
"I can go back alone " Xhemin said with a heavy heart and rushed her way to the lake end, grabbed the dry cloth on the ground and covered herself. Now fully covered, she bowed her head to the Lagdameo heir who followed her into the dry ground and said "Thank you again. You had help me a lot tonight"

"You are one of my many dreams, and the only dream I wish I should have chased desperately" 

Darryl Lemmuel was an aspiring engineer. There was only one word to describe him—exceptional.

He was the only male heir of the Lagdameo clan and the future of L Empire. Apart from that, he was rumored to be financially independent at the age of eight, tricked the present president of L empire—his father— into agreeing with his terms and left home at the age of sixteen to live on his own. He broke all the socialite’s rule to have a good taste of adventure! 

Xhemin Lae Dugmoch was a struggling botanist.

Enrolled in an A-list school, she knew nothing but books, experiments and strawberries. As the granddaughter of a retired famous doctor, Xhemin was very keen in keeping her profile low as per her granddad's wishes. Nobody in the elite community knew that she existed and that her grandfather’s corporation— Feather HealthCare had an heir.

One witty heir and one crazy strawberry girl; their predicament started when their life got tangled up against each other in a conference.

HE suddenly became her target prey.

And SHE was a little trouble not worthy of his attention.

The trouble he soon learned to want— so desperately and dearly wanted.

After a few days of living in her bear friend's house and eating fish with the bear while finding information on this world, Hua Ming decided to get on with her search for civilization, after telling Li Li(bear's name) that she was about to settle of on a journey to civilization, Li Li said that he would've tagged along if they were contracted but they weren't, so it was dangerous for him, because he explained that if a beast was seen roaming around casually on the streets without a contract with someone, then people would try to hunt him down cause beasts were very rare especially if they were a divine one like him.


 He also explained that there are 5 level of beasts, the lowest level of beast was called ground level, which then leads up to standard level beast, divine beast, mystical beast, then the highest level is God beast, but they only exist in the God realm, unless they came down from there. After getting some good knowledge of her surroundings, her goal was to get as many beasts as she can, then she'll just watch the story progress from afar, Then she'll become the first person to join the Fan-club, maybe a bit of a doujinshi club~( author: I made the males yet I'm having a nosebleed from the yaoi that's yet to exist lol😅). 

Hua Ming first needed to get some beasts to help her, so she decided to bind them together in a contract, but she was pretty surprised that he wanted to do the contract one sided, cause normally the contract is 2-sided cause, all beasts are forced into a pact. Tang Hua Ming was never good at directions, so it took her 4 days to navigate at of the woods which should've taken 2 days, plus she had the help of a map, credits to Lili for helping them reach the destination, and A+ for effort with Hua Ming. 

But it was definitely worth the trip, cause they have finally found civilization and it was Hua Ming's first time seeing the place of the novel.

it was a bustling street filled with carriages that were seen long ago in ancient china, the thing was, this wasn't China. It was the settings of the novel the old man wrote.

While Hua Ming had shaken the old man's hand and sealed the deal, the old man insisted on giving her a copy of the novel, so she accepted it, nonetheless. 

And now it was time to binge read, she thought, but she had forgotten about her being transported to a light novel. she needed some money.

Hua Ming 'er is the nerd of transmigration, but when she gets transmigrated as the female lead, not only does she refuse her role from the god of the other world, but she also stalks the female lead, but she doesn't know that her soul was already entwined with the one of the 2nd male leads, from the very beginning.

Fu Sheng clutches his heart. He suddenly feels like his heart is being burned. Each cell has been poisoned by a smoldering fire. He knows this familiar sensation. He has touched the enchanted wood once. Accidentally. That was around three thousand years ago, but he never forgot how it felt like. No vampire can ever forget that. 

His insides are scalding and on the verge of turning into acid. The mother and son look at their daughter's husband. They start calling his name. Huang Wei Yi tries to grab his shoulder. Fu Sheng pushes him away before the hand can touch him. In the next moment, Huang Wei Yi is in the air. He slams onto the wall and collapses on the ground. Mother Huang screams and runs to her son. 

It's only been a few seconds. It is enough to turn a pure vampire into smoke and ashes. Fu Sheng is surprised that he is still alive. The pain is not any less. 

Far away, the eight other vampires can also experience the pain. They fall on the spot and writhe on the floor. They gasp for air. It's like something is choking their throats. Though they can't die if their vampire king is killed, they will feel the pain. There is no question. The vampire king has been stabbed by the enchanted wood.

Fu Sheng manages to walk to the kitchen. Huang Qiuyan is standing straight. She is looking at her sister in law with pain and tears in her eyes. She doesn't seem affected by the enchanted wooden dagger on her back. Meng Su Yin is more shocked than anyone in the house. She looks at the creature in front of her. What is she? Why can't she die when she stabbed her with the enchanted wood?

"Why aren't you dying?" Meng Su Yin steps back. "Don't come close to me. Don't hurt me. Go away, Monster."

[System: Dear Host, can you slap her for stabbing you in the back literally?]

[Host: She is scared of me. In the past, she always laughed at me for being stupid and weak. Now, she is scared. Why I am upset?]

[System: Dear Host, it is because she can no longer see you as a weak human. You are a monster to her. You are a monster to all humans. You cannot live with them as a family.]

[Host: My family isn't my family anymore.]

Fu Sheng grabs the dagger. It burns his hand, but he doesn't let go. Huang Qiuyan is shocked. She tries to turn around. Fu Sheng grabs her shoulder with his left hand to keep her unmoving. His right hand is turning black. The smell of flesh burning is in the air. He pulls the dagger out of her heart and throws it far away. The dagger disappears in the air and goes back in its owner's hand.

Before he collapses the ground, Huang Qiuyan holds him in her arms. 

[Host: What's wrong with him?]

[System: Dear Host, I think that he is affected when she stabbed you in the heart. The enchanted woods can turn a vampire into ashes, but it can't kill you. Since your hearts are linked, then it will hurt him if you are ever stabbed by the enchanted woods.]

[Host: Hearts are linked? What are you saying?]

[System: Dear Host, something changed in your body when he bit you in the woods during sex. Your bodies and minds are linked. If one of you dies, the other will also die.] 

[Host: What.THE.HELL!!!]

Meng Su Yin points the dagger toward Huang Qiuyan. The pure vampire is unconscious. His right hand is blackened like coal. Huang Qiuyan is really his mate. Though enchanted wood couldn't kill Huang Qiuyan, it has affected her mate. If Huang Qiuyan was an average vampire, he would have died along with her. He lived because Huang Qiuyan's heart could not be turned into ashes by the enchanted wood.

"Sister in law, put that down." Huang Qiuyan is upset. She gets it that she is scared of her. However, nothing has changed other than her body. Can she at least hear her out? 

Meng Su Yin looks at the unconscious vampire king. If he is affected by the enchanted woods, then both Huang Qiuyan and the vampire king will be killed together if she stabs him in the heart. She leaps toward him, aiming to get his heart. Huang Qiuyan notices her aim. 

Just then, 

[System: DEAR HOST, STOP HER. YOU WILL DIE.]

Huang Qiuyan grabs her wrist before the dagger could piece Fu Sheng's chest. A vampire hunter is on per with the vampires in terms of strength, vitality, and power. However, Huang Qiuyan is not an average one and Meng Su Yi's rank is lower than an average vampire. 

Crack! Huang Qiuyan's grip breaks her wrist bone into two. She screams in pain. Huang Qiuyan let go of Meng Su Yin instantly. 

"What is going on here?" Mother Huang has watched everything in horror. Her daughter in law has tried to kill her daughter. Her daughter has broken her daughter in law's wrist. Her son in law is lying unconscious in the ground with a burned arm. 

"Mother, I am sorry." Huang Qiuyan picks up the man with her both hands. There is no way that she will leave him here. "I will not return. Please live safely. Think that this daughter has been killed during the apocalypse."

Huang Qiuyan doesn't explain more or wait for her mother to say anything. A blur passes by Mother Huang. Huang Qiuyan and the man disappear from the house.

It's been a week and there's been no mysteries. On the upside however, the teachers started giving Chris chances to impress Velma which he all took in a heartbeat. Slowly it started to work. The once dull conversations turned a bit more lively during the walk in the hallway. However, Chris knew it wasn't the end yet.

'I just need a little push,' Chris thought as he went to the next class with Velma. When school ended, the rest of the gang were already in the Mystery Machine.

"Hey guys, let's pack up! We're going on a trip this weekend!" Daphne said.

"Wait what?!" Velma asked as she got into the van. 

"Yeah, like my uncle Tom asked if we wanted to go to his hotel that he just opened since it's a 3-day weekend. It's only like 30 minutes away by driving and he said he's giving us 2 VIP room, free food, and free access to the water park for the entire three day weekend!" Shaggy said. "By the way, the food is being cooked by Chef Michael Woods and we're having a VIP dining room the entire time! And to top it all off, we're having dinner with him on the day we get there!" 

"Michael Woods?!" Velma exclaimed. "You mean the chef that has a 3 star Michelin restaurant and wrote one of the most popular best selling horror book of all time?! I have his book "Spirits Here"at home! We're going on this trip!" Velma said maniacally.  

'How does he have a 3 star Michelin restaurant and write a popular novel. Is he Lin Fan? More importantly, Velma is a huge fangirl. Should I decline going to the trip. I mean would my words have some impact here,' Chris thought. 

"Wait Shaggy, you didn't tell me Michael Woods is going to be there. Oh my gosh, he's so handsome!" Daphne shouted. Chris looked at Fred's face which was full of jealousy. When they arrived at Shaggy and Scooby's house, the hangout for the day, they looked at each other and tried to decline the invitation.

"Oh, you know girls, we might have a mystery here so it might be wise to stay put for the 3 day weekend. You know scouting things out," Chris said.

"Yeah, who knows. Maybe an evil clown or a revived dinosaur might appear. We have to help the people of Hotsville!" Fred said. 

"You are not declining!" Velma and Daphne both said together at the same time. They looked at each other and high-fived.

'Shit this isn't going to work out,' Chris looked at Shaggy and Scooby briefly, but lost hope as he already knew the answer. 

Chris tapped Fred's shoulder and they turned around.

"This isn't going to work out. Shaggy and Scooby are already imagining the feast at the hotel. We're going to have to go," Chris whispered.

"Yeah I know," Fred said while sighing. "Well, we'll have to take whatever comes at us. At least you have a chance. I know Velma is cute, but Daphne is considered the "hot one". She has a higher chance of being hit on by this Michael Woods guy," 

"I know. Well we both have to try our best don't we," Chris said as he tapped on Fred's shoulder. They hung out for the day and ate Shaggy and Scooby's gigantic pizza that the two made on their own for 3 hours and around 9, Fred took them all home. 

Back at home, Chris started packing up some basic things like a swimsuit, clothes, and sunscreen that was all conveniently in his room. He had already gotten his parents' permission and they even said they wanted to go with him as they haven't gone a vacation, but Chris dissuaded them by saying that a place like Paris or Las Vegas was a much better place to go as a romantic vacation.

'Hey System, how much of the main quest have I finished?' Chris asked.

-Host, you have not even gotten 5% of the quest finished as of yet. That stopwatch is merely the first out of many clues.-

'Alright, exactly what am I supposed to do with 40. It could be anything. 40 miles, a population of 40 people, 40 minutes, 40 anything!'

-The answer will come eventually.-

The System didn't go much further with that leaving Chris extremely frustrated. Not only is there a chance that his progress with Velma will dissipate from seeing Michael Woods, the quest isn't going any further. 

Chris sighed and stopped thinking about it entirely. He simply just went to bed and tried sleeping it off.

...

It was the next day and around 8 A.M., Fred called Chris.

"I'm out the front door. Get your stuff and come," Fred said. 

Chris said goodbye to his parents and left the house. When he got into the van, Daphne and Velma were talking fanatically about Michael Woods. Daphne wore purple one piece while Velma dressed up in a orange one piece dress. 

"Velma and Daphne, you both look great today," Chris said. 

"Thanks Chris," Daphne said. "We were on the phone until 12 last night trying to figure out what to wear for the next three days. We can't show up and meet Michael Woods with the stuff we wear everyday,"

Chris eyes twitched a little regretting that he complimented the two. He also saw that Fred also shook a little showing that he was also a bit shaken up by the fact that the two girls spent hours trying to figure out 3 outfits.

During the entire ride, Chris believed that God has abandoned both him and Fred as there was traffic on the way to Shaggy uncle Tom's hotel and so the entire trip lasted an hour. During that hour all Chris and Fred could hear was Shaggy and Scooby eating burgers and more importantly, Daphne and Velma talking about him for the entire hour.

Chris tried hacking his favorite game, but once he successfully hacked it, a frown appeared and then he passed out. When he came back to life, he realized he obtained a hacking system.

The howls of the Demon Beasts came from the woods far away.    

"Tata! Tata!"  

Heavy running steps sounded across the silent night. Judging from the sound of those steps, one could tell that it must have been human beings running in the woods.

However, Shi Yan couldn't tell if it was a warrior chasing the Demon Beast, or a Demon Beast hunting a human. He didn't want to be involved, and thus said to Di Yalan, "Hide well. Let's not ask for trouble. Remember the lesson from the Fangs Mercenary Corps."

Di Yalan nodded, and mumbled to Mu Yu Die on the hollow tree, "Don't make a sound. Stay inside the tree leaves."

"Let's go and hide inside another tree." After a little thought, Shi Yan moved swiftly, found another luxuriant ancient tree and crouched in the leaves immediately.

As soon as he did that, Di Yalan came up and hid herself with him.

They were still on alert as they hid themselves in the dense leaves. Meanwhile they also removed their scent from the surroundings to completely hide their presence.
����
Before long, five flustered mercenaries appeared at a distance with terrified looks on their faces. 

They were all heavily wounded. Amongst them, the leader was a Human Level warrior, and the rest were at the Nascent Level. 

The mercenaries were running through the woods with flustered expressions, looking over their shoulders, as if they were getting chased by Demon Beasts. 

And that was exactly what was happening.

Just as they appeared in Shi Yan's sight, he beheld a Fire Snake and two Ice Lizards moving in the woods quickly. At the same time, several Silver Armoured Scorpions, which were nearly a foot big, came up from the left, seeming to encircle them.  

The five mercenaries were completely terrified as they rushed into the woods.

Shi Yan turned pale as he realised that those mercenaries were done for.

Shi Yan could clearly see a robust Silver Wolf in the direction they were heading to. The wolf was four metres long but they didn't see it!   

The wolf had two silver five-meter-long wings, which looked novel and mysterious, adorned with delicate patterns. 

Though it was the first time that Shi Yan had seen it, he had heard about it long ago. That was a Silver Thunder Wolf of Level Seven---- a top Demon Beast in the Dark Forest!
 
Then, he was sure that it wouldn't be a warrior killing Demon Beasts scenario, but... the complete opposite one.

The bloody hunting started at once!

The moment the five warriors rushed into the woods and saw the awaiting Silver Thunder Wolf, they screamed with despair.

The Silver Thunder Wolf didn't even give them a chance to struggle. It spread its thunder wings in no time and devastating blasts came out one after another at the warriors. Three of them were cut into shreds in an instant!

The Silver Thunder Wolf just stood there arrogantly ---- it didn't strike again.

Those chasing Demon Beasts quickly ran up and encircled the the remaining two in no time.   

The Fire Snake and Ice Lizards worked together to attack the warriors. Soon, one of them was poisoned by the Silver Armour Scorpion, and the other one was killed by an Ice Lizard.

"Creak!" "Creak!"

Horrifying sounds broke the serenity of the deep forest.    

Apart from the Silver Thunder Wolf, the other Demon Beasts crowded around the five dead bodies and started feasting on their bones.

Di Yalan was too terrified to look in that direction.

She was not at all afraid of killing, but those Demon Beasts were eating human flesh, which would make her vomit if she saw that horrifying scene...

Hiding in the leaves, Shi Yan was gazing at those Demon Beasts calmly, while trying to figure out something in his mind.

As the five warriors were dead, their Profound Qi was gradually seeping out, and as it would eventually melt in the air and disappear.

If he could get to that area before the Profound Qi disappeared, he would benefit by a lot!  

However, there were so many Demon Beasts feasting on the bodies, he could do nothing but hope they would leave soon. 

"Oooouch..."   

A miserable human cry full of fear and despair came from very far away.   

The Silver Thunder Wolf suddenly howled and dashed out.

Hearing its howl, those Demon Beasts, who had almost eaten up the five bodies, stopped eating and followed the wolf in a hurry. They seemed to hunt other human beings.

Immediately, Shi Yan jumped down the dense tree as soon as they left, and headed to those messed up bodies like a ghost.

Di Yalan was startled as she screamed from the tree in a low voice, "What are you doing?"   

"Going and checking what had happened. I will be back soon. Don't leave the tree." Shi Yan didn't even bother to look back and moved to those bodies speedily. As he arrived near the bodies, he closed his eyes and began to feel them.

Luckily enough, it wasn't too late for him. The warrior of Human Level had more Profound Qi than others and there was still twenty percent of it left on his body.  

The invisible Profound Qi went into his pores, as being attracted by a magnet, and then flew into his meridians...

Sensing the power of the foreign Profound Qi, Shi Yan smiled with satisfaction.

Before long, all the Profound Qi which had not melted and disappeared into the air went into Shi Yan's body.

Seeing the limbs and entrails lying on the ground, Shi Yan frowned. Nonetheless, he began to examine their bags while enduring the bad smell.

There was too much blood on the food and it might also be the poison from the Silver Armour Scorpion---- it's inedible now. Crystal coins were not of much use in this area, and too many of it would prevent them from moving fast, thus the warriors didn't carry too many crystal coins.

Searching for a while, Shi Yan was only able to pillage only few Demon Beast material and medicine..

Poor guys!  

Shi Yan mumbled as he cleaned his hands with a bag. Then he walked to where Di Yalan was hiding.    

"Hoooooowl!" "Hoooowl!"  

Even at dawn, Demon Beasts were howling in the Dark Forest. They seemed to be running around and hunting for warriors and mercenaries in a group.  

Hearing the horrifying sound, Shi Yan wasn't frightened. On the contrary, he was a little happy.

Demon Beasts' actions would influence their pursuers. If they were still moving in the forest at night then they would be spotted by Demon Beasts, and the more they moved, the more likely they would be found by the Demon Beasts. Maybe the people from the Dark World, Mo Family and the Fangs Mercenary Corps would lose a lot of people tonight, and the Demon Beasts would have a full belly tonight. 

He was right...  

That night, Mo Chaoge and his people were attacked of by the Demon Beasts.    

After Hu Long committed suicide, the troop didn't sleep at night as they searched Shi Yan and Mu Yu Die desperately. Instead, they kept searching for Shi Yan and his friends in the Dark Forest. Therefore, they attracted a lot of Demon Beasts. Thanks to the five warriors, the troops finally got to know of the reality and hid themselves in ancient trees.

"What were you doing?" Di Yalan frowned, "Were their possessions really worth the risk? If the Demon Beasts returned or if you were noticed by them, you would have had no way to escape!"

"Look, didn't I return safely?"   

Shi Yan climbed up the tree without explaining what he had gained. Looking rigid, he said, "Why are all the Demon Beasts hunting for warriors and mercenaries like crazy? Someone must have done something to irritate them! Or they wouldn't act like this!"

"What should we do?" Di Yalan had no idea, "Are we still going to head forward?"

"Lets wait for a while. After spending the whole night hunting, those Demon Beasts should be much more calm during the day. We can set off at noon."

"Okay then."


Growing up parentless, Shi Yan, who was left with a large amount of inheritance money, bore a general disinterest in life.

The only times he felt alive was when adrenaline coursed thorough his veins. He quickly found that extreme sports, bungyjumping, cave diving & skydiving, gave him the biggest kicks. The bigger the adrenaline kick, the closer he was to death, the more alive he felt.

Waking up in a pile of dead bodies in an unknown land, after a diving adventure had ended disastrously, he quickly realizes the body he now possessed was not his own.

Follow Shi Yan as he explores this new world where danger lurks around every corner, and death is only a breath away; a world in which Shi Yan could not feel any more alive.

Drizella carefully examines at the scroll in her hand. More than a scroll with words and nothing else, its concept is similar to a blueprint. There are drawings, words, designs, incantations, and et cetera imprinted in the scroll. Drizella was really fascinated, she thought she wouldn't understand anything from the stroll but to her surprise, she is able to. 

With her somewhat knowledge from attending college for half a year before her death in the field of medication and technology, she is able to make sense of the blueprint in the scroll. 

Making a lifeless puppet out of woods is an easy feast but making a living puppet with looks from the exterior to the interior is harder than anyone can imagine. It even has to be able to think of its own and have emotions of its own. She also doesn't have a lot of time left now. She spent two days to break the seal on the scroll and now this. She has to crave everything out from the smallest details to the biggest details! She definitely won't finish in one day or even one year! Why does Francis have to give her something so hard? And if she doesn't do it, its marriage and marriage mean DEATH!!!

"Huuhaa!! I should stop criticizing and procrastinating. Let's see if there's a short cut," sighing Drizella focus on the scroll in hope for a short cut. 

Reading passages one by one and gathering everything into clues, she decided to try something anew from what the scroll instructed. In her opinion its worth having trails and errors than spending how many years it would take to make a living puppet exactly like a human. 

"Coco, Mommy is going to give you a very important task. Gather some woods for mommy," Drizella bent down and smile lovely at the blue slime as she instructed it. 

Coco was very happy that Drizella can see sparkling stars dancing around Coco as it hurried to carry out its task. 

Ahh! Coco is too sweet! But is Coco a boy or a girl. She should really check it out later or maybe just ask. Coco understands her so asking is better than checking... right?

Drizella hasn't realized that she is treating Coco as a person and as a child more than her contracted spirited. 

...

Poof!... Poof!... Och! Och! Ahh! Ahh! Noooo! Ack! Nooo! POOF!... Where many of the sounds that came out of Drizella's room. The servants want to go inside and check if something was wrong but they were too scared. They heard rumors within each other that their new eldest miss is crazy and very haughty even though they haven't even seen her before. 

Meaning they didn't care to check if their eldest miss is in good condition. They turn a blind eye on that door and kept on doing whatever they were doing. 

Drizella didn't have the time or need to consider whatever is happening outside of her door. She is already busy with whatever she was doing. 

On the floor has more than one magic circle and to the side, there was a pile of burned woods, sticking up almost reaching her ceiling. The magic circles on the floor weren't like a normal one it's more like two magic circles blinding and combining into one. 

Drizella has heard that if your knowledge and aptitude for magic get higher or is great, there is no need for a magic circle. However, considering her small size, her level in the ranking and of how little knowledge she has, there is no way that is possible for her. Even if she is a reincarnator/transmigrator, doesn't mean she is one of those all-powerful people in novel or books and has every bit of knowledge. 

She can't help but sigh as she once again places six pieces of wood in the magic circle forming a stick person. She studies the notes she has taken from all her failed experiments and consider what is leaking. Sometimes she was so close but other times she was so far away. She even takes into account the type of wood used, how big the wood has to be, how many woods she should use, even the drawing of the magic circle but what is it that she is leaking. 

Ahh! How she hopes this is like a manga where unexpected things can lead to a clue or an ending like those mystery and factional manga. The most successful would be about the kid wearing glasses and goes by the name Conan. 

Drizella turns her stare at Coco with a weary smile. How about helping your mommy more or make something unexpected happen for mommy. Mommy's begged you!

Ahhhhhh! She's going crazy! Talking about crazy sh*t! 

Composing herself down, she once again went back to work. 

As the sun begins to fall, she hasn't even left her room once or eaten any food. The only thing leaving her room and coming back is Coco. No one knows what is going on inside the room since even with the blue slime leaving or coming back in, its always through the crook at the bottom of the door. 

 There was one very pitiful girl though. Wanting to find out what her sister is doing inside the room all day she quietly turns the doorknob and peeks inside. When the pitiful girl saw her sister's craziness and having the delusion that her sister look like a demon, the pitiful girl quietly and quickly retreated. Never stepping foot close to that door ever again. It was a trauma she can never forget.

"What if... just what if..." Drizella gasps her breath as she began to draw six newly magic circle next to each other and divide the burned woods equally for the six circles. Coco can't go out to get more woods since its dark, and even if those woods are burned and scrap, they still maintain a bit of magic power from the failing experiments. She traces the magic circles with one wood from every six circles and drunk more than three bottles of mana recovery potion. 

Chanting under her breath, the magic circles started to lit up one by one. However, she still has to consume more mana recovery potion to make all the six magic circle light up. As they light up, the woods in each circle started to rattle; binding, shaping and stretching together to form a human-like shape. 

There appears a screen in front of her, which to her surprise only she can see. Coco didn't notice the screen, it was happy jumping around at the master's great success. The screen shows a manikin and other stuff like in a dress-up game or when creating an avatar for a game. It gets Drizella pump up with energy for its something she's very familiar with. All her time trying to escape from men by doing different activities and club paid off. 

"Hmm. I should make this puppet into a handsome boy. The most handsome person I've seen is... I can't think of anyone but Francis," Drizella drip her head when she came to the realization. 

However, thinking about it again... this puppet is going to be his stepson so... works?!

"If I only think of Francis's face well it appears in the puppet... oh! So it really does! I should change some of the physical features... he's still young, the face can't look like someone old. The hair color, eyes..." Drizella touches the screen as she continues on with her creativity.

...

"Fran... Papa. Look. Look. Isn't Leon handsome," his eldest daughter told him as she steps inside his room with another person coat in black.

She pulled the hood down and what was staring at him was a person nearly resembling him. With blue eyes and white platinum hair, a small different version of him. 

"I tried to make him as human as possible. With around 206 bones... maybe more since he's still growing and hasn't reached adulthood. Muscle tissue that connects with the bones, red blood cells flowing through his body..." Drizella peers at Francis's face. "Is papa listening?"

He snaps out of his daze and nodded.

Drizella continued, "The only problem is that he and I have to share physic. More like I'm connected to him. So I might be him or not?"

Francis nodded.

Drizella puzzled: "You understand?"

Francis explained with a sentence, "Your consciousness might transfer into the doll."

Drizella nodded amazed that Francis can understand her from her incoherent wording.

...

"After that, I told her not to tell anyone about this. For a child to succeed so quickly is abnormal," Francis finish as he took a drink of water. He's not used to talking for so long, his throat is dry. 

The grandmother agreed with Francis decision but she is a little upset that he left her out of everything. She swings the paper crane out of her pocket. "You never uses something so fancy. Why the sudden change? Is it also because of the child? I have so much to..."

"Uncle!" 

"Papa!"

Both voices symmetrically sounded at the same time, interrupting the grandmother's jabbing words.

Like every girl, Luna wanted a prince charming or a knight in shining armor to save her and live happily ever after. As she becomes an adult she realizes that this is just a far fetch dream. Real life is full of hardship and never have a happy ending.

On the way from medical school, Luna was killed in cold blood not knowing the reason why. She was immediately reincarnated into a different world. She soon realizes this world is Cinderella's world but never thought that she would be Cinderella's stepsister.

"In the Grimm Brother's book, Cinderella's step-sisters got their feet cut just to fit the glass slipper. Just the thought of having your feet skinned bit by bit by your mother just to fit on a glass slipper is a nightmare. And afterward having to wear a high heel that is like two feet tall without first-aid or bandage...argh," Luna shudders with goosebumps at the thought of it.

"...Wait, this world is totally different from what she knows!!" were her thoughts as a child.


***On Hold*** Need to change somethings with the plot

"What is this?"
The demons startled when they saw Zhong Yue taking out a little wood puppet, no one knew what it was. At the far side, Shura and the other seven saint clan grand ancestors looked at one another and none of them knew what it was, either.
In the Ancestral Star, there was a huge gap in between the records of history, one that was caused by a drastic event hundreds of thousand years ago, which also caused the records regarding the Demon God Contracted Puppet to be lost in history.
Even the eight demon gods that founded the eight saint clans didn't know what a Demon God Contracted Puppet was and what use it had. Only the madman Feng Xiaozhong who dug the demon gods' graves would know what it was.
However, Shura and the other former demon gods were incredibly experienced, they were cautious and the drinking they had done with Zhong Yue had made them stand aside and not participate in the mission of killing Zhong Yue.
"May the great senior descend!" Zhong Yue bowed and he said solemnly.
As he bowed and his soul entered the Demon God Contracted Puppet, the little puppet floated into the sky on its own as if there was an unknown force moving it up from another dimension!
The little Demon God Contracted Puppet linked the Void World and the real world together, it was the pathway for the slumbering demon spirit to come, for him to descend down from the evervoid to the material world.
A bizarre energy seeped through from the Void World, putting immense pressure on the demons and the dimension around the little Demon God Contracted Puppet was distorted, making the little wood puppet appear bigger.
This was the dimensional space overlapping another, the little wood puppet was not a single inch bigger but it was the dimensional spaces around it that were overlapping one another, magnifying the size of the Demon God Contracted Puppet, making it bigger and bigger.
If a ten foot dimensional space was distorted, the Demon God Contracted Puppet would look as if it was ten foot tall but if a thousand feet was distorted, then the little puppet would look as if it was a thousand feet tall.
Such methods were not able to be casted by the mortal body but focused on one's ability to manipulate the dimensional space, way beyond the level of Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners' Avatar.
Many gods that had cultivated the Pure Yang Yuan Shen could have done it but only if it was tens of feet. While this Demon God Contracted Puppet was magnified by thousands of feet, the dimensional space around was made bigger and pulled closer!
In everyone's eyes, this Demon God Contracted Puppet had grown into the size of a sky-piercing mountain, hovering above the yellow sands of the desert.
The demon god's aura was thickening, so strong that it even started disintegrating the yellow sands into nothingness, into thin air. With the disappearance of the yellow sands, the skeletons buried deep in the desert were exposed to the demons, the leftover bones suddenly stood up, millions of skeletons were across the desert, ornamenting the yellow land with countless white dots.
Demons, beasts, Qi Practitioners of other races and many others, there were more living things than anyone could count that died in this dreary land, buried deep down beneath the yellow sands.
And now, all of them stood up, those decapitated bodies, severed limbs, beasts and livings, even Demon Saint's corpse crawled up.
The dead started dancing, waving their limbs and bodies, dancing happily while they clapped and sang, "The dead have no kings, no commands they listen to;"
The dead beasts then stomped their feet, singing, "Hei ha!"
The skeletons then continued, "The dead have no subordinates, nothing they work for;"
The dead beasts then stomped again, shouting, "Hei Ha!"
"The dead have no time, the four seasons are nonexistent;"
"Hei Ha!"
"The dead have no worries, no pain to suffer from;"
"Hei Ha!"
The corpses were dancing and singing, clapping their hands, "Death is the best, best of the best! I have lived and suffered a million pains, I am now dead but embracing endless joy! The living are worse off than the dead, the dead are better than the living. So die, die now and die, die, die, die!"
The dead in the desert were all singing, it was utterly bizarre and all of the demon experts were looking at one another in shock, puzzled at the development of situation. Even Zhong Yue was puzzled, thinking, This Demon God Contracted Puppet's master's entrance is looks really imposing. But from the song, it sounds like he is a crazy fella, being alive is way better than being dead and yet he said that only death will grant endless happiness.
After the ended, the corpses all turned silent and seconds later, they all collapsed back to the ground.
The mountainous Demon God Contracted Puppet then opened his eyes and his sight fell onto Zhong Yue, the three mouths then spoke in a world-trembling voice, "Years after years have passed, I can't even recall when was the last time a summoner emerged…."
The Demon God Contracted Puppet's body turned as if it was alive, his necks lengthened and the three giant heads moved down from the clouds and looked at Zhong Yue, his heads covered the whole sky blocking Zhong Yue's vision and his breath raised a strong gale that made Zhong Yue's clothes flutter violently.
"The palatable smell of souls … Summoner, you have summoned the great Shi Tuo, what wish do you have for me?"
His voice rumbled across the whole desert, causing the yellow sands to shudder as he said, "Offer your soul to the great Shi Tuo and you shall be granted two wishes!"
Zhong Yue nearly collapsed to the ground in the demon god's aura, his knees nearly fell to the ground but he pressed against the godly aura anyway, he answered, "The great Shi Tuo, I have only one wish…."
"Are you planning to say that your one wish is to have hundreds and thousands more wishes?"
The Demon God Contracted Puppet winked his eyes and said nefariously with a smile, "The last time a summoner asked for this they ended up in my stomach right away. Hehehe, I only grant wishes that I'm willing to, I'll do it for sure if it's as easy as blinking an eye, but if you intend to play around with words and set a trap for me, then I'm more than happy to enjoy your delicious soul…."
Zhong Yue bowed and he said, "The great Shi Tuo is the wisest of all, how dare I fool you? My wish is fairly simple…."
He raised his head and looked around at the demons, the Shura clan master's heart skipped a beat and he shouted, "Strike now before it gets out of control!"
Krong——
The demon divine weapons all burst out with immense power, the Thousand Woods Demon Saber was casted by the Yan Mo Saint Clan clan master and experts, sending out thousands of demon sabers and strikes at Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet!
The Shura clan master also grabbed the golden umbrella in his hands, the Shura Parasol was pulled back and a strong pulling force sucked Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet toward the umbrella!
The Tian Xiang Treasure Seal was also casted by the Tian Xiang clan master, the engravings on the treasure seal came alive and leaped towards Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet.
Ji Xiang clan master and the old lady came together to cast out the Sixteen Heavenly Demon Art in a dance array, striking at Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet.
The Yaksha clan master swung the trident and strode forward; the Raksha female clan master carried the lute in her arms and played a sad song, assaulting Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet with the invisible soundwaves!
Yama and Asura clan masters also cast out their soul weapons and demon divine weapons; the magnates and giants all had also jolted into action, striking their soul weapons at Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet!
They had all sensed that the situation was developing out of their control, the Demon God Contracted Puppet's master could breakthrough the dimensions and descend down from the Void World on his own without being worshipped, it was simply unimaginable to them!
Although this Demon God Contracted Puppet's master was seemingly a crazy man, but his prowess was nothing they had seen or heard of before!
At this point in time, the Demon God Contracted Puppet's prowess had yet to reach its peak and if they were to strike now, they had a chance to take down the Demon God Contracted Puppet and Zhong Yue together!
Zhong Yue kept his focus and bowed at the Demon God Contracted Puppet, he said, "May the great Shi Tuo sentence them to death!"
The seven saint clans' greatest demon divine weapon had struck over when the Demon God Contracted Puppet raised his heads, three mouths saying at the same time, "Just this? How easy, I thought you'd throw some hard questions at me…"
The Demon God Contracted Puppet strode forward and reached his hand out, the Thousand Woods Demon Saber was shrunk into a little tree and fell into his hands, the Yan Mo clan master's face changed drastically and he surged all of his arcane energy in an attempt to retrieve the demon divine weapon. Yet, all of his efforts were in vain as the Thousand Woods Demon saber stayed rooted on the Demon God Contracted Puppet's hand, not moving at all no matter how hard he tried!
From afar, the Yan Mo Saint Clan's grand ancestor, Yan Mo's face also changed drastically and he shouted, "Not good!"
He was the one who crafted the Thousand Woods Demon Saber and it was his soul weapon, but now, he could sense the markings he had left on the Thousand Woods Demon Saber being wiped off in just a few seconds of time!
His prowess was once at the level of the heavenly demon god in his past life, an expert who had created a great saint clan and one could easily infer how hard would it be to wipe his markings off, at the very least, it would need to be a demon god who cultivated the Pure Yang Yuan Shen!
The Thousand Woods Demon Saber then grew bigger in the Demon God Contracted Puppet's hand and the wood branches quivered lightly, then slashed out with countless saber strikes in all directions!
"The Thousand Woods Demon Saber's power are all unleashed!" Yan Mo exclaimed in shock.
Shura, Yama, Raksha and the others were also shocked, their faces turned pallid as they all knew exactly how strong of a power the demon divine weapon held. When the Thousand Woods Demon Saber's full power was unleashed, it could easily slaughter anyone present!
Yan Mo clan master was beheaded and his body was crushed in the saber strikes, the sixteen heavenly demons of the Sixteen Demon Heavenly Demon Art were killed and the painting scroll fell to the ground while the beautiful lady was lacerated into pieces!
Yaksha clan master who had come forward with the trident was sliced into minced meat before he could even get any closer to them.
The Tian Xiang Treasure Seal was struck and it fell to the ground with all its powers lost and the Tian Xiang clan master behind it was also crushed into dust by the striking sabers!
The Demon God Contracted Puppet never moved a step at all, all he did was grab the Thousand Woods Demon Saber and unleashed its power on the surrounding area, killing everyone around.
Under the Shura Parasol, the Shura clan master was sliced into little bits by the demon saber strikes and the running Ji Xiang old lady disintegrated into dust when struck by the saber strikes.
The Asura magnate morphed into the three-taloned Golden Crow and flew away but was beheaded in the next second, crashing into the yellow sands from the high sky.
The saber strikes had also slashed into the underground, killing the magnates and giants who tried to escape using the underground.
Thousands of demon sabers struck out and slaughtered the demons, painting the desert with the color of blood.
The Thousand Woods Demon Saber then slowly shrunk into a over ten feet tall ordinary tree.
The Demon God Contracted Puppet then threw the little tree to the side like a piece of garbage, he opened his mouths and sucked in the air around them, the broken Yuan Shen, spirits and souls were all sucked over into his mouths and he said with a smile, "How delicious … Hey, summoner, your wish is too simple! Do you have any other requests?"

Synopsis
In the world birthed by Pangu, the Three Sovereigns lit the spark of humanity that the Five Emperors would later fan into a blazing fire, eternally branding humanity as the leaders of the world….
This was a time where twilight had descended on the reign of the Human Sovereign and the Five Emperors had yet to emerge – humanity was merely one of the myriad races wandering about the vast cosmos.
This was a desolate and barren era. The monsters, devils, heavenly gods, and deities of all races stood aloft; with the demons, heavenly souls, and spirits dancing freely around the world.
The humans were still a feeble and burgeoning race at the mercy of the pantheon of races that ruled the world together from within the great wilderness.
This was not the era of the Foreworld, but the barbaric and untamed era of uncivilization!
Let us rewind back to China’s ancient and classical mythology and recount the legendary tale of how a single figure led humanity out of an epoch of darkness and into a new dawn.
“Why do I seem like a monster? It’s not that my heart longs for blood, but the indifferent reality, and the harsh truth ... that drives me to kill.”
— Zhong Yue

Things You Should Know
Honestly, judging from the title itself, one’s initial impression would be that the story is simply another boring and cliche cultivation novel. Or at least, that was what I thought at first when I was first introduced to this novel by a friend. But to my surprise, and most likely to yours, (if you read it, that is ...) you will soon come to realize that the plot gets very interesting, involving many characters from the ancient and primeval eras of Chinese mythology.
Every story has their own charms, and every character has their own tale to tell. And this, is the tale of a young man fighting not for himself, but for the betterment of humanity. The plot starts to get really good at around chapter 50-ish, and that’s when the roller coaster starts to rise higher and higher to never come down again (literally, it ended in a climax).
