Lucius paced back and forth in the 2nd hut he had in the woods to the west.

He was thinking.

Thinking about what to do with Sam's situation, and how to keep the townspeople from crying out to burn both of them at the stake for the crime of witchcraft. Despite the fields of curse magic, body alteration magic and life magic being established schools of practice, the general populace were still fearful and vindictive towards what they perceived as the perversion of nature and life.

Having nearly a hundred years of experience, being a devotee to the expansion of knowledge, and being the top borrower at all the libraries on the central and east continent [returning the books every few years or so], he had fancied himself as somewhat of a muse. But now he was stumped.

Spells or potions that sped up growth, or ones that expanded the body did exist. However, these functioned all at a permanent cost to the user's future potential and vitality. He cracked his head, but didn't know of any spell, condition or power that would grow a person's body like this; where the body's development and aging were not affected, and the individual's vitality was even more exuberant than before.

No matter how long he thought or from which angle he approached it from, all he drew were blanks. Even if Sam were not his own flesh and blood and a through and through human, there weren't even any races exhibiting these growth patterns.

Sighing, Lucius stopped his pacing and stepped outside for fresh air - and to watch Sam training.

The girl was moving according to the footwork he had just taught her, familiarizing herself with her "new" body. She was at one moment lunging forward in a low stance, and in the next moment soaring through the air in a twisting 1080° somersault, before performing a low spin with her arms and legs and whole body nearly perpendicular to the ground.

Lucius nodded in approval - the girl had always shown talent for physical aspects. It was just her mana affinity that left him helpless... He sighed again.

He could only help her to sharpen the weapons she already had, and ceaselessly search for a solution for her mana denying body.

Walking over to the clearing where the girl was still training, he called out to her, "Good movements! If I didn't know better, I'd think you've been training for years!" He smiled in approval; eliciting a happy smile from the girl, elated to receive his praises.

She came over to meet him halfway as he was walking, then asked, "That was fun! What's next, grandpa?"

Lucius couldn't help but to stop and admire the person who was the very image of her father - handsome, tall, dashing, gentle eyes, broad shoulders and a lean well-muscled body.

Problem was - Sam wasn't supposed to look like a teenage girl's heart-throb...

Sighing, he said, "Alright! Get cleaned up. I'll set out some new clothes for you now that you're bigger."

As the girl hopped and skipped away, Lucius sighed again - at least she hadn't developed her womanly characteristics yet - he could still make this work. For now.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Stella and Marie were best friends.

They had grown up as neighbours, and had played together for many years before entering the temple of Uro. Theirs was a life-long bond that had went through thick and thin - at least as far as challenges go for 14 year olds.

But today they were enemies.

"Do you really think Reeve would like someone so low-breed like a swine farmer's daughter? Pah! You must be dreaming! You swine farmers should stick together and give us your blessing!" Marie was fuming at Stella's bragging, as she stood by her workdesk where she was supposed to be doing the accounts for the temple.

"Hmmph!" Stella was irked despite holding the advantage in their competition for the boy. She shifted on the bench she was sitting on to face Marie. "You're just jealous that he asked *me* for help and not you! Why, he must have been waiting all this while for a chance to talk to me!" Stella put on a dreamy look, then shot a glance at Marie as if to say "so-there".

"Y-you? Waiting all this while to talk to you?" Marie sputtered in mock amazement, "Do you think any boy would like a rough and tough broad like you? Anyone who remembers just how manly your mother was would--"

"Marie!" Stella snapped, her eyes glistening. Marie knew she had touched on an area she shouldn't have.

"You... You..." tears were welling up in the girl's eyes as she scrunched up her face in hurt - the memories of her mother's death were still raw in the heart of the teenage girl.

Her mother, as one of the town guard captains, lost her life when Stella was only 11, during a beastman and barbarian raid. It was a young and courageous Reeve who protected her and her younger siblings when they thought they would be goners for sure.

Marie - as the antagonist in this spat - was filled with remorse - best friends shouldn't be arguing like this, should they...? Especially not until the shedding of tears and until their friendship was at risk of falling apart.

"Stella... I'm, I'm sorry... I was just jealous of how you're the only girl that training freak has spoken to in the past weeks. Apart from his little sister and that demon girl of course." Marie sat down beside Stella, drawing close to comfort her. "I know you've always liked him since their family moved here. And especially when he became your knight in shining armour."

Stella, wiping away her tears, turned to look at Marie. "Do you know how much I wish I were beautiful and graceful like you...?" She revealed her insecurities and deepest fears, "What you said... Isn't it true? How could someone so coarse and unrefined like me get Reeve? I'm just dreaming..."

By now Marie was sniffling too. "At least he talked to you... The last time he spoke to me was... Well, never." She smiled with a tinge of amusement and self-pity, "I'm sure we're not the only girls tearing their hair out wondering who Reeve will choose..."

Stella couldn't help but giggle when she thought of how the other girls must be agonising over the same thing. Then she smiled. "Thanks for being here, Marie."

Marie returned her smile. "Best friends?"

"Best friends."

Then they saw him.

If Reeve were the image of masculinity, intense as a raging fire and solid as the earth they stood on, "he" would be like the refreshing summer breeze that swept away one's fatigue, or the waters that calmed one's heart even of the deepest worries.

Simultaneously and in an instant, the girl's gazes locked onto him and they flashed a look at one another.

Then they began quarelling again, this time over who would get to serve the new prince charming.

* * * * * * * * * *

"Welcome to the temple of Uro! Our goddess is magnanimous and kind, always ready to bestow her grace upon the ailing people! I'm Stella, apprentice priestess--"

"And I'm Marie, *ahem* her senior... apprentice priestess. How may our lady bless your life today...?"

Lucius was surprised. Normally the temple was so busy they would have to wait an hour, and even then they would only have 1 priest or priestess to serve them. He looked around and was confused as he saw many unattended penitents. Then he saw the two girls preening and trying to draw the clueless girl's [Sam's] attention. His face froze over.

The boy/ girl had already caused a commotion all the way from the shrine to the temple on the other side of town, with many murmurs of "Is he a prince...?" or, "Who's that man...? Is he a model...?" 

Sam was dressed in a simple but smart looking set of Lucius' old clothes - a dark grey shirt with matching pants, and black leather boots. As they were made of high grade mana-infused cloth and leather, it looked relatively new despite accompanying him for more than 20 years. 

She looked like a kind hearted, noble and athletic pretty boy...

Lucius nearly face-palmed himself - what trouble was Sam going to be causing with his... *Ahem*, her gender bending good looks...?

"This is my granddaught- I mean, grandson, Sam, Samuel. She... He's been traveling since he's young, and his parents just left him with me yesterday. He's just turned 15, but he, he hasn't had an affinity, talent or capability test before. Yes, that, that's how it is." Lucius struggled to get the words out, his face was pale as he intermittently coughed while telling his prepared story.

The two girls were swooning too much to notice the various inconsistencies and irregularities in his explanation, so they scrambled closer to "Samuel" to grab his arm and lead him to the testing area. They shot each other daggers with their stares, then settled for one arm each.

"So, Samuel. To help our test, could you tell us what your innate talent is...?" it was Marie's turn to speak; giving him her best smile with sparkling eyes.

Samuel replied without thinking, "Getting lucky." He didn't notice the two girls turning beet red as they blushed, misunderstanding that he would be so open and direct about his promiscuity... Though neiether of them would mind if it were them and he brought them away from this little town after that.

"W-w-what do you mean by luc--" Marie overcame her embarrassment to ask, only to be cut off by a harsh cough by Stella, who flashed her venomous looks as if to tell her to keep to her turn.

"Ahem, since it's my turn to speak," Stella began. "W-w-whaf do you mean by being lu-lu-lu-lucky...?" She was blushing furiously as she wondered if he meant *that* kind of lucky.

The two's legs grew weak and they had to lean heavily on Sam's arm to prevent themselves from fainting in shock when they heard his answer: "Oh, well, a Mr Handsome fell from a tree, so I took him home to my bed... I was very lucky that day, he's very good to me and even gave me..." Sam pointed to his metallic hair ornament, "...this as a gift before he left. He said he'll come back to play with me again."

"P-p-p-play?!?"

*thump*

The sounds of three bodies slumping to the floor could be heard.

Sam helped the two girls up, even as they were pallid and seemed to suddenly turn extremely awkward towards her.

Then the trio looked back to see Lucius dusting himself off, as if he had just gotten up but didn't want anyone to know.

"Ahem. Nothing happened. Carry on."

The trio shrugged and continued on, the girls shaken. Sam continued on, her 10 year old mind oblivious to the bombshell she had unknowingly dropped. The two girls looked listless and stumbled every now and then as they numbly walked to the testing area. They were completely silent and no longer held Sam's arms; unable to accept what they had just heard.

If they had looked back again, they would have seen an old man with a pale face, reeling from a blow heavier than that of any god he had faced.

How was he going to salvage this situation...?

His mind raced as he could already hear tomorrows news: Lucius' grandson sleeping around with every handsome man who drops by.

Systems? Transmigrators? Gods?
No problem! All will crumble under my fists!
Smashing dragons, devils and heros into meat patties!
Still, she has a dream - "When will I have a boyfriend...?"

"If the wretched heavens are against me..."
"...Then I shall BREAK the heavens!"

Sam is an orphan with a dream: a simple life and happy family. Nearly talent-less (and ahem, a little slow witted...), she has only her two (overpowered) fists to rely on in a world that seems determined to make her forever-alone.

Follow her story as she falls in love and learns what it means to experience loss;
Shares thick and thin with the most unexpected companions;
Faces betrayal by the ones she thought were the closest;
And learns to open her heart again to trust.

NEVER DROPPED UNTIL COMPLETED.

It was initially meant as a harmless joke. Marie only wanted to see Nicolae suffered a little for abandoning her at the dock a few months ago. She created the whole date from hell and trained Louisa what to do.
Marie used Sanna's housekeeper's name in her fake profile and trained the woman to give Nicolae the date from hell. Come to think of it, Marie was somewhat vindictive. She thought she had forgiven Nicolae ... but when she saw the man and his children were having fun, she felt angry again.
She meticulously arranged the date between Louisa and Nicolae. She observed how it went from her apartment while smiling to herself. She predicted that Nicolae would survive until the end, but at least he would look somewhat tortured. Haha. It must be very funny, Marie thought.
Marie had no idea that when Nicolae came and met Louisa, the young man remained friendly and polite, showing no expressions of being annoyed whatsoever, much less suffering, even though he had been deceived outright.
Nicolae graciously kept trying to engage Louisa in conversation. He asked her about her daily life and always tried to find something to talk about, even though it finally proved that Louisa could not keep up with his intelligence.
Throughout the dinner, Marie was just stunned at Nicolae's handsome and patient face from the hidden camera that she placed in Louisa's handbag, which she strategically placed on the table.
At the end of the dinner, Marie could see the look of shock on the handsome face, knowing that the date from hell would continue with a movie. However, Nicolae still nodded politely and did not object. Subconsciously, Marie smiled to herself, seeing this.
"You're so kind ..." the girl murmured to herself. Her face was filled with adoration. "A good-natured gentleman. What a rare specimen."
She no longer paid attention to how the date went. Her mind had drifted to her mother, who was being treated in the hospital. Suddenly, she had some crazy idea that she could find a fake husband to make her mother happy and finally willing to let go.
Maybe ... a guy like this would want to help me, Marie finally thought.
Her silly idea had turned into hope, and three days ago, she finally managed to ask Nicolae to pretend to be her husband in front of her mother.
Their scheme was almost exposed because Mrs. Lu was very smart, but this kind-hearted man rushed to propose to her in front of her mother, convincing Mrs. Lu that he really loved Marie and promised to take care of her. Marie knew that Nicolae was lying, but fortunately, Ms. Lu believed his convincing words.
And finally, yesterday ... her mother was able to die in peace.
Marie took a deep breath. She rose slowly from the bed and took clean clothes from the closet. After wearing a black dress for the funeral, she wrapped black ribbons around her wrists to hide the bandages that covered her attempted suicide wounds.
Marie then checked herself in front of the mirror and saw how she looked like a living corpse with a thin body, all-black attire, and a pale face. She felt very unattractive.
Marie then sat down at her dressing table and put on a thin makeup to cover her pale skin, her naturally-red lips did not require lipstick at all. Once she felt that she looked a bit healthy, Marie went out of the room and headed to the kitchen.
The smell of freshly cooked food immediately filled her nostrils. Ah, this man can also cook?
"Let's eat something decent, so you get strength. Today will be very hard. We will take care of your mother's cremation and spread her ashes to the sea. After that, you have to go to the hospital and look for a grief counselor to help you grieve properly," Nicolae said. He helped Marie sit in the dining chair and immediately put a plate of food in front of the girl. "Do you want juice or coffee?"
Marie just nodded, not answering. Nicolae put a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee in front of her. He then sat across from the girl and began to eat. Marie finally followed him and forced herself to chew food.
"Sorry, I have bothered you so much," Marie said after they had finished eating.
Nicolae just shrugged, "It's okay. It's my responsibility. Besides, as a good husband, I have to be with you until the end."
Marie looked up in surprise at Nicolae's words just now. As she watched the young man's expression, Marie realized Nicolae was joking. This man just smiled, as if not aware of the impact of his words on the grieving girl.
Aah, apparently, Nicolae was deliberately mentioning his status as Marie's fake husband to make the girl laugh. Marie could only smile faintly at his words and nodded.
"Thank you. I'm sure any woman you will marry in the future will be a very lucky woman." Marie took her sunglasses from the cupboard and wore them to hide her eyes, swollen from crying too much. "I will take care of the marriage annulment after I overcome my sadness. I will not linger."
Nicolae nodded. "Thank you."
In fact, for Nicolae, the marriage annulment was not really important. He asked that from Marie for her own sake. When they were married yesterday, Nicolae did not use his real identity as Nicolae Medici. He only used one of his old identities as a commoner, when he was a student at the St. Mary University.
He had been using it for almost 15 years and it's now time to drop that identity. After he returned to Italy to take Altair and Vega, so Lauriel could take them to their parents, Nicolae would create a new identity.
Now, Marie only knew him as Nicolae Sorin; Nicolae being his real name and Sorin was his middle name, which he used as his surname for this identity. His adopted family's name was Lupei and his current family name from his biological father was Medici.
Now it was time for Nicolae Sorin to disappear from the face of the earth. He would go back to using the name Nicolae Lupei or Medici in his new identity. So, it would make no difference for Nicolae if his marriage to Marie Lu was annulled or not.
However, Nicolae felt sorry for Marie if the girl did not take care of the annulment on time because then she would be recorded as a married woman, while her husband would soon disappear from the face of the earth. It would be difficult for Marie to remarry in the future when she met a man she fell in love with.
"You better make the appointment as soon as possible to take care of it," Nicolae added as they walked out of Marie's apartment to the elevator. "If you delayed it, it will bring you trouble in the future."
Marie nodded. "I'll do it. Don't worry."
They arrived at the crematorium at noon. Mrs. Lu's body had been delivered from the hospital and placed in a beautiful casket chosen by Nicolae. Even though her body and casket would be burned to ashes, he still chose the best available casket for the lady.

jazz: not here.

Next room.

Jazz: Not here either.

He kept running one room to another, he kept thinking how and where is she. Is she here, what he gonna do if didn't find her.He kept blaming himself for doing nothing for the past years,  he was always thinking of doing something big when he gets out of this place, but never thought what his mother is going through each passing days. She never told him anything about her work    ( Sigh) .....Passing through corridor he looked out of the window, the fire keep increasing minute by minute.

Marie: "Are they gonna be alright Big sis?" She is quite worried about others.

Sandersonia:" I think we are in much dangerous situation. We are not sure how are we going to leave this place. " She eyed him while saying that, indicating its all his fault.

Both Hancock and Marie noticed that....

Hancock:" Sandersonia its not his fault. its my fault for not believing him. You should not say things like that." She said Desperately almost scolding her sister for saying things like that. 

Marie:"Yeah Big sis is right, we are in this together."

Sandersonia: She gawked, her mouth was open like a window  " Both of you why are you supporting him and not me. you have changed Big sis, Marie." She didn't understand why her sisters are behaving like that, she looked at him once again [its all his fault.]

""....."" They don't know how to respond to her.
 
Jazz was also quite stunned he looked at Hancock, she had her head down not knowing how to respond to her sister.

Jazz: Not wanting a  fight among sisters he said " Sandersonia is right, the longer we wait here the more dangerous its gonna be. You three should leave this place  after we search this mansion."

Marie: What about you and your mother?

Jazz: "I have to look for my mother if she is not in this mansion then i will look for her in other places." He said with determination

Both of them want to speak something, but he shut them up.

Jazz: "You don't have to say anything. Thanks for worrying about me but I am not gonna change my decision and don't worry i am gonna be fine" He smiled at them
feeling grateful 

Jazz: Well lets go we reached the top most floor, we searched every room before she must be here in this floor.

They begin there search the 1st room they enter , they saw dazzling objects, shiny furniture decorated by gold and jewels. They weren't surprised by  this they had seen all this similarities in previous rooms. But one thing is different is that they found a door which was locked inside the room.They would have ignored that room but they heard some sounds coming from the other side of the door.

Hancock: What to do the door is locked.

Jazz: There is someone in there i am sure of it.

Sandersonia: How do we get in there.

Jazz: Stand aside i am gonna break it.

Marie:Wait I have an idea.

She went forward and  Knock....Knock...Knock...

Jazz: He looked at her weirdly " Its not gonna work." saying he step forward.....

??????:Who is there ... Go away.... i am busy....

Suddenly they heard a voice from the other side of the door from the tone it seems quite pissed. Jazz smile quite awkwardly at Marie who was happy at her success attempt. 

Jazz:" cough.... Madam Marie Please Knock " He bowed like a gentlemen with posture like showing the way to a queen.

Marie" Moo... stop teasing me jazz kun...."

They keep knocking knocking the door for some seconds while the person on the other side has promoted from pissed to giving killing threats... but they kept on going.

After few minutes, they heard a angry roar cursing them and rushing footsteps coming closer.

?????:Whoever you are i am gonna kill  you.

Knock...Knock...Knock...

?????:You bastard you wait for me and pray that i don't find your whole family.

Knock...Knock...Knock...

?????: Now even if you lick my foot i am not gonna spare you.

This kept on going till he opened the door....

"SPRAYYYYYY"

"THUD"

Hancock:"This sleeping gas never cease to amaze me, hoe much of it remain."

Jazz: It still has some, we are gonna be fine.

Sandersonia: Lets go we don't have all the time in the world. 

They move forward to enter the room which was at the other end of a little passageway. But something attracted Jazz attention he bent down and picked up a key. It was made of gold. 

Jazz: " A gold key?  ah...In this world where there is a key then there should be a treasure chest around. Legend says that the bigger the key the greater the treasure. Where can I find the treasure...right... it must be inside that room."

Realising he could get some treasure he was quite excited. Although he saw many jewels and gold in the previous room. But for a Word novel to have a key, that means the treasure must be big.

Jazz: Raising his head he found none of them" Wait for me girls, 

When he was about to reach the next room at the end of the passageway, he saw Marie came running towards him. She grasped both of his hand suddenly pushed him few steps back.... 

Jazz: Puzzled by her actions " What are you doing Marie... i want to go inside " Even after hearing him she didn't let go of him, she didn't say anything or maybe she didn't know what to say she just looked in his eyes and he looked in hers.  After sometime his eye dimmed down, his breath slowed, he lowered his head, his shoulder slumped. He felt his strength draining.

Jazz: " I....I... understand. " Hearing this she released  him.

She felt lost,  she couldn't say what she saw in there but he came to understand why she was not letting him in.

Jazz: After blanking for some time he came to his senses " I want to see her "

Saying he didn't wait for her response he step forward decided to enter the room but suddenly... 

" ATTENTION INTRUDER " They heard a loud voice coming from outside.

" ATTENTION INTRUDER "

" WE HAVE SURROUNDED THIS PLACE COMPLETELY I ADVISED YOU TO SURRENDER NOW, YOU HAVE DONE A SIN UNPARDONABLE BY HEAVEN ITSELF BY HARMING OUR CELESTIAL DRAGON.  DO NOT FURTHER ADD TO YOUR CRIME COME OUT NOW...."

Hearing this Marie paled she was trembling, Jazz was expecting this but even he was depressed.  One after another wrong things are happening looklike my luck has run out.

Jazz:" Marie let's go " He took her hand which was trembling and went inside, this time she didn't stop him nor she could. 

Outside announcement was still going on,  for some reason they are not rushing in now...

Going inside the room he saw Hancock and Sandersonia. They were sitting beside a woman covered by a blanket,  her face was pale yellow indicating she is sick, her blonde hair is dishevelled he could see some of her  hair spread around the floor he didn't want to think how that happened. Finally her eyes which were shut tight if her chest is not moving slowly people will think she died a tragic death. 

He kept watching her for some time trying to some how merge her in the image of his smiling mother which she always show him when she come to meet him usually, the caring and loving expression. But now her face showed how much pain she had endured all these years. 

At last he couldn't hold much longer...he fell on his knees near her feet.  He placed his head on her feet. He begin crying for the first time in this life.

"WAaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... "

He felt he is a worthless dust of her feet, she protected him in this shitty place by doing something intolerable for last 8 years. And the worst part of it is that.
He didn't even know about it. 
He kept on crying, The sisters did not said anything they just looked at him in agony....

Jazz cried for some time now he was sobbing...  Outside the announcement is still going on, which was getting impatient because no one is resounding him. 

" GOOD.... GOOD.... NOT ANSWERING ME, YOU MUST BE THINKING THAT YOU HAVE SOME CHANCE OF ESCAPING RIGHT?"

"LET ME TELL YOU A ADMIRAL IS COMING HERE ANYTIME NOW AT THAT TIME YOU WON'T EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK. "

jazz: Hearing this he stopped sobbing he looked at her mother and the girls Marie and Hancock eyes are slightly red, they must have cried as well. " Hancock can you dress up my mom. We have to get out of this place before a Admiral came. "

Hancock nodded. 

Marie "I will help Big sis "

Jazz stood up he was about to go take a look at the situation outside suddenly he felt a pulling sensation and his attention was shifted on a treasure chest. 
He suddenly remembers about the key he found earlier,  But he is not in the mood or situation to enjoy a treasure. He ignored the previous sensation and left the chest behind but suddenly he heard someone.....

[  What an ungrateful child you are...]

Jazz:" Who is this? "  He freaked out suddenly hearing voices,  he started searching but found himself rooted in his places, what the hell is this. I can't move. How?..

[ How?.... You should ask Who? ]  

A figure is formed in front of him,  with a voluptuous milf body wearing a white one piece dress covering her body perfectly, even though she is not showing much skin.One thing is clear.

That milf is HOT.

Jazz:" You.....you..." 

?????: Nice to see you again jazz.

Our m/c Jazz died and reincarnated in one piece world, he got a cheat An OMNITRIX that can records DNA of Devil Fruits user.

Well for it he did make a deal with Devil.

Heero departed to Morabaka City in high spirits and expectation. As Saint's disciple, he was confident in his strength. Even though he never experienced the outside words, his seven fairy mothers always told him everything about the outside world. Moreover, in his Master's library, there was a history of humanity and important event was also recorded in a book.

He wanted to be a Legendary Hero. To be a Legendary Hero, he needed to defeat God. Whether it was God Beast or God Specter, he needed to defeat one of them to be a Legendary Hero.

However, for now, Heero realized that to defeat a god with his current was unrealistic. For now, he planned to raise his rank slowly.

For now, his rank was an apprentice hero, the lowest one. Above Apprentice Hero was Intermediate Hero and Advance Hero. People usually called Intermediate Hero as lower-level Beginner Hero and upper-level Beginner Hero when one reached Advance Hero.

Above Beginner Hero, it was Master and Grand Master. Above Master and Grandmaster was King, King of Heroes. This rank was only for Hero who had defeated King or Emperor Specter/Beast.

However, Heero did not want to be just King, he wanted to be a Legend. He wanted to be what his Grandfather yearned for.

"I will be a Legend!" Heero clenched his palm into a fist and aimed to the sky.

"But before that, I will have to reach Morabaka City first!" Heero put his hand down and went to sleep.

Currently, he was staying in the wilderness. His Master said it would take a month trip to reach Morabaka from Nebraska. Heero was still halfway to reach Morabaka.

The next morning, Heero continued his journey to Morabaka. His journey to Morabaka was smooth, he encountered no Specter and Beast at all.

Fifteen days passed by and finally, Heero got to see Morabaka's metal wall. As one of the five biggest cities, Morabaka had another name, Unbreachable Fortress.

The black metal wall left Heero in amazement. When one just looked at the metal wall, it would leave an oppressive feeling. Heero rushed to the gate.

He wanted to enter the city directly, he was eager to see what Morabaka City looked like. However, before he could enter, there were two guards blocked him with their spears.

"Kid, you have to pay if you want to enter the city!" A guard full of beard said to Randy.

Heero realized his mistake. If one wanted to enter the city, they had to pay and it applied to the normal citizen, merchants, etc. However, if it was Hero, they did not need to pay as long as you showed Hero Identity Card.

Heero did not wear plate armor or leather armor like a normal hero would wear, but casual clothes. So the guards mistook him as a normal citizen.

"Oh, I am sorry Uncle. I am a Hero!" Heero apologized and showed his identity card as a Hero proudly.

The guard surprised when they saw the identity card. They thought Heero was just a normal netizen who just back from the other city.

The guard did not directly let Heero in. A guard with full of beard took the identity cars. He wanted to check it. When he saw who approved and made the identity card, the bearded-guard surprised.

Archief Priest Salomon Arkshain, one of twelve Archief Priests. The guard immediately gave the id card back to Heero. With a smile, the bearded guard let Heero in.

"Good Luck, Boy!"

Getting one card approved by Archief Priest meant Heero was a real deal.

Heero took back the id card and thanked the guard, "Thank you, Uncle!"

When he was inside the city, Heero was not surprised anymore. It because Morabaka City was completely ordinary compared to Nebraska City.

"Hmm, let's just head to Hero Guild!" Heero did not have the interest to walk around of Morabaka City.

If Nebraska Temple was a place where he could become a Hero, then Hero Guild was a place where Hero working. Hero Guild would provide the mission and Hero Guild was also the one who determined the hero rank.

Even though Morabaka City was a foreign place for Heero, but he did not have a problem to find where Hero Guild was. He only needed to ask a passerby. When it came about Hero, even you were stranger, they would gladly help.

Hero Guild was located at the north of Morabaka City. The biggest building in the north was Hero Guild. It was easy to find.

Heero entered Hero Guild and went directly to the counter.

"Hello, my name is Heero. I am here reporting that I will work here from now on!"

Finally, Heero's career as Hero formally started.

…

In one a bar, east district of Morabaka City

Heero gulped a glass beer in one gulp and released out a sigh. It's been a year since he arrived at Morabaka City to start his career as Heero.

He started his career pretty good and caused controversy as he advanced to Beginner-Intermediate Hero just in one month. It was not that the fastest, but it was exceptional.

However, even though Heero advanced to Beginner-Intermediate Hero in one month, he was still stuck in Beginner-Advance Hero after a year. He took a month to advance to Intermediate Hero, but it took him 11 months to raise his rank to Advance Hero.

Of course, the problem was not with him, but the mission. One could advance to Intermediate Hero by completing 3 lower-level Beginner Missions or killing a thousand undead.

Undead was rank 1 specter, people usually called rank 1 specter undead because they did not have intelligence. Specter was an undead who gained intelligence.

Heero advanced to Intermediate Hero by killing a thousand undead. It was an easy feat. However, in order to raise his rank to Advance Hero, Heero needed to kill a hundred thousand undead or complete 20 Beginner Missions.

The problem was, Hero Guild hardly came up with a mission. Most missions were for a high-rank Hero and Heero could not take that mission because of his low-rank Hero. Even Hero Guild issued a Beginner Mission, there would be many Beginner Heroes would fight over it, first come first serve. It was the rule.

Wiping out undead was the easy choice. However, the problem was hard to find a hundred thousand undead. Heero managed to kill seventy thousand undead and finish 6 Beginner Missions in 11 months to raise his rank to Advance Hero.

Now, to raise his rank to Master Rank Hero, he had to kill ten million undead or a million rank 2 Specter (low-level Specter Knight) or a hundred thousand rank 3 specter (Intermediate-level Specter Knight).

The problem was they could only find rank 2 Specter or rank 3 Specter when war broke. Heero now stuck at Advance Rank Hero, he had a headache to raise his rank.

"Oya boy, do you have a problem? If you want to solve your virginity problem, then I will gladly help you!" A woman behind the counter approached Heero.

This woman was the owner of this bar. Heero was regular in this bar and he was familiar with the Boss, Marie Arossia. She was a hot woman, mature face, hot body, and her long legs had charmed many youths. There was another name for the Boss, Virgin Killer.

It was said if one wanted to solve your virginity problem, you only needed to come here.

Marie appeared to be in her early thirties, but Heero did not know the exact. He heeded his fairy mom advice, "Never ask a lady's age!" However, Marie indeed looked like a person who had many experiences.

Heero just waved his hand to Marie listlessly. He did not have the interest to joke with Marie. As for his virgin body, he would trust it to his future wife. For now, he just wanted to dedicate himself to be a great Hero.

Marie also noticed Heero seemed to be in a low mood. She did not continue the talk about the virgin.

"If you have a problem, just share it with this elder sister, maybe I can help you, "

It was not bad having a friend to talk about your problem with. Heero told the problem he faced to Marie.

However, upon hearing the complete story, Marie looked at Heero weirdly which made Heero uncomfortable.

"What? Just laugh if you want!" Heero frustrated.

Instead of laughing, Marie pulled Heero's ear, "In one year you managed to raise two ranks and you still think it's too slow? You are surely asking for a beating!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Pain pain pain!" Heero complained as he tried to release the hand from his ear.

Marie released her hand and asked seriously, "Let me ask you, why do you want to raise your rank quickly? What's your purpose?"

"Heh, I want to be a Legendary Hero as soon as possible. I want everyone knows my name, I want to be Legend just like Hero Mikail and it will be like this: Xing Heero, the Legendary Hero from Xing Village!" Heero declared proudly.

"Then, how soon? How soon do you want to be a Legend?" Marie asked again.

"Fi…" Heero stopped. He wanted to reply in five years, he would be a legend in five years, but he knew he would get another scold if answered like that.

"Ten years, maybe?" Heero answered in a small voice.

Tak!

Marie instantly flicked Randy forehead as soon as she heard the answer. And surprisingly, it was more painful than his ear being pulled.

"Ten years and you want to be a legend like Hero Mikail!?" Marie seemed to be agitated, but Heero still nodded his head.

Tak!

Heero received another flick from Marie. However, instead of scolding Heero, Marie was taking a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

After a while, Marie calmed down and looked at Heero seriously.

"Let me ask you, how long it is before Hero Mikail could become a legend?"

"302 years!" Heero answered instantly and firmly. The history of Legend, Randy remembered it completely.

"Then what about Hero Garam?"

"341 years!" Heero answered in confusion. He did not get why did Marie ask him about this.

"Hero Virgil?"

"278 years!" Here, Heero realized why did Marie ask this.

"Hero Guan?"

"190 years!" Here, Heero's voice getting smaller as he realized his mistake.

Marie kept asking another three legends and Heero answered it truthfully. However, his voice was getting smaller and smaller as he answered Marie's question.

"Do you understand, right?" Marie said it in an annoyed tone.

Randy nodded his head meekly. He did not dare to meet his eyes with Marie's.

Amongst the seven legends recorded in a book, Hero Guan was the fastest to be a Legendary Hero. He slew God Specter 190 years after his debut as hero.

Here, He was so cocky declaring he would be a Legend in ten years. Heero was so ashamed for his declaration.

"I am sorry!" Heero apologized for his cockiness.

Marie waved her hand, "It's good if you realize it. Also, It's good if you want to be a legend as soon as possible, but Hero mattered not only rank, you know? Hero Guild set the rank not merely for you to show off, but for your own good. With rank, you will know your limit. So you know which one you can fight and which one you can't! With rank, Hero Guild can reduce the Hero casualties, do you understand?"

It was rare for Marie to talk about this serious. She seemed to care a lot about Heero.

Heero nodded his head, "I know! Thank you, Lady Boss!"

"It's good you understand! By the way, why do you want to be a Legend as soon as possible? I am curious!" Marie was truly curious.

Heero told the truth, about his village got attacked by specter and his family which also died during that event. He told Marie why he wanted to be a Legend. Of course, he did not tell Marie about Saint and his hellish training.

"Hmm, " Marie held her chin as she nodded her head.

"In that case, I will help you…" Marie got closer to Heero and whispered something.

The more Heero heard it, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

This is a work of fiction. Any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the most unfortunate day which also the luckiest day for Xing Heero, his village was attacked by a specter. He lost family, his childhood sweetheart, he lost everything. However, on the same day, the strongest man called Saint picked him up as his disciple.

After years of training under the strongest man, Saint. To fulfill his Grandfather's dream to be a Great Hero, Heero started his career as a Hero. Heero was determined to kill specter and would not let any child experienced the same experience as him.

However, maybe he had used all his luck to get the strongest man as his Master. Somehow, all of his achievement was stolen by the other heroes. The unfortunate event kept happening to Heero which led all of his achievement being robbed by the other Heroes.

In the last of his unfortunate event, he tried to kill God Specter, but it only ended him up sealed in Eternal Ice. The last moment before Heero lost consciousness, he vowed he would retire as Hero.

"Father! Mother! I will be obedient! I will stop to be Hero and continue our family line, please release me from this Eternal Ice!"

And it went on and on. There was much less content and there was nearly nothing that caught Mu 
Lu's eye. He looked bored as Ji Chen scrolled through the results with shining eyes. 

"Is that it? What is there to see about this? There is nothing here!"

Mu Lu growled. He was quite mad that Ji Chen would even be interested in any of this stuff. After all, Divine's were the peak existence of the entire Universe! Such stuff would be completely useless to them! 

"What do you mean nothing? Look at this, isn't this what any man would want to have!?"

Ji Chen retorted. His face was still showing his wide smile, that had a vein bulging on his forehead. 

Mu Lu traced Ji Chen's finger to the place on the screen:

---

[The Profound Knowledge of True Edge by Kane]: He had mastered the art of Edge. He had been living at the 'edge' for much of his life! His persona was something that every man wanted: Cold, aloof and badass!] Note: You will only get the manual since the art is too rare, memories cannot be transferred. 299p

---
"This is what you want?"

Mu Lu's eyebrow twitched many times reading the price tag. 299 points was a lot, in fact, he probably collected a grand total of 8000 points using the system for many millennia! He only had around 100 or 200 points maximum stored, at his peak! Yet, Ji Chen had already earned 300 points in a couple of minutes. This was bias!

"Of course! Are you jealous that you could never afford such amazing stuff?"

It seemed that Ji Chen was keeping his wide grin for this moment. To show what amazing thing that he would get... But there was a problem... Mu Lu didn't have the same tastes as Ji Chen!

"Have you gone mad? Do you think that 300 points will just come to you?"

Mu Lu spat. His eyes were red and lips were quivering.

"What do mean? 'The Profound Knowledge of True Edge' is the best way to spend my points!"

Ji Chen retorted. He stuck out his tongue to show that he was not going to listen to Mu Lu. 

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'! What about the millions of collecter tools, alchemy and theory that still remains far from our reach! Don't you want to do something no-one has done?"

Mu Lu questioned Ji Chen like a machine-gun. Ji Chen had an annoyed face as he heard Mu Lu. 

"Do you think that stuff is useful to me? What do you think I would do with that knowledge?"

Ji Chen asked smugly. The question had really hit Mu Lu on a soft spot... 

-What would you do with the knowledge? 

The simple answer was curiosity, but was there really a necessity to waste your life in theory just to learn stuff that you wouldn't use? 

"I'm not old like you! I don't need that knowledge!"

Ji Chen extended his point causing Mu Lu to gulp. 

"You know, you may never get those points back, are you sure you want to invest in something so..."

Ji Chen finished Mu Lu's sentence:

"Awesome? Yes, that is what I'm after! Looking cool is true art! I have always wanted to just stand at the edge!"

Ji Chen started nodding, in which Mu Lu almost facepalmed.

"Just do what you want."

He spoke dully. 

"Right."

-System, buy me [The Profound Knowledge of True Edge by Kane]

[Beep!]

[Host has officially purchased 'The Profound Knowledge of True Edge by Kane' for 299 points, the host's points have gone down from 300 to 1]

Ji Chen, excited, looked towards Mu Lu:

"Do I just ask The System for the manual?"

Mu Lu had an irritated face. 

"Yes, everything is just asking The System Manually!"

He shouted. 

-System, give me [The Profound Knowledge of True Edge]

[Beep!]

[The host granted 'The Profound Knowledge of True Edge']

A manual that seemed to only have a few pages appeared in front of Ji Chen. Though it only had a few pages, Ji Chen and Mu Lu could both agree that the contents would be as detailed as it could be. After all, it had just replaced 'Profound Knowledge' with a manual. It was impossible for such a thing to cost 299 points otherwise! It likely had many Daos. 

Mu Lu didn't pay attention to Ji Chen and started to look for the 'bug'. It only took him a few seconds, before he spotted the unconscious Marie...

Watch as the youngest and strongest Divine, Ji Chen tries to live a normal life as a noble in the 33 Heavens.

He is the successor of the Three Greats!

He is Born with talent that scales above the Heavens!

Yet he doesn't want to start a dynasty even with his prowess. He wants to have one wife, a few children and a way to get over the fact that he can live over a million years. 

This is a story of how life face slaps Ji Chen into submission. (literally)
--------

This is going to be my second novel, first being Heavenly Immortal Disciple. I will give this novel an update every 2 days. The two novels will have one chap at one day and then switch the next.

The MC will be very OP in this novel. He will try to lay low. If you hate lay low novels, then this may not be the novel for you. There will be the occasional people who do know of the MC's strength.

The novel will include a Harem. I will try not to make it too big.

Every Emperor needs a few women!
(I'm talking about MC)

This will have a system. Be warned if you hate cliche plots. Don't rig the improvements so that I cant actually improve. If you dislike the series, I would be happy for suggestions.

Please note: I don't actually own the art, please down sue me....

Before the story start, I'm not entirely sure that you will like it. But, in the following two-three chapter. I will much explain more in the world. In other words, this is not very fast-paced novels wherein the explanation was only a short paragraph or so. I will do my best to do this, and also make the dialogue much more human-like. But, I'm not entirely sure that you like it. The first chapter could be considered my procrastination time, where I only explained a little more about the world is all about. Oh and also, if you think this is the same with the different novel where the mc gain a heaven-defying cheat that able to get everything that he wants. Like,  easily leveling, direct upgrade of martial skills. Then your wrong, I might add something to make it more like a system novel. But, I won't make the mc to much op which ruined the novel itself. I wanted more like a system like, yet, through mc's hard work. In short, he will not solely depends on the system and strive his best by his two bear hands. That's all and please do proceed reading.


Hello Guys, Thank you for reading! Pls, Enjoy!

*************************************************


"Ahhh!!"

A scream could be heard out of nowhere, Lu Chen swept his gaze towards the sound.

 At this moment, Lu Chen was walking in the street, Halting his pupils towards the right side. He saw a little boy playing with his soccer ball mindlessly; while the scream belongs to the middle aged-woman, that seems to be his mother.

Lu Chen felt odd, and move his gaze at the road. At that moment, he finally knew why the middle-aged woman screamed. Because a truck that is driving at a quick pace was about to hit the little kid.

He drew a long breath, and subconsciously yelled out.


"Kid watch out!" 

Relying on his instinct and speed, Lu Chen ran towards the little boy.

Lu Chen pushed the little boy on the safe zone, thank goodness he was saved almost on time. As for Lu Chen, at the moment, the truck hit him. He could feel a burning pain all over his body. The truck blasted him several meters away making his body, flying, rolling and finally landed on the ground in a near-death situation.

[At least, I save the boy's future.]

He mumbled his last word, and slowly lost his vision.

....

Fragment Sword Sect.

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Where am I?"

Lu Chen propped up, feeling pain all over his body.

Slowly, Lu Chen's Vision cleared up. Examining the surrounding he was confused.

"Did I die? Is this the underworld?" 

 He murmured under his heavy breath, glimpsing the wall painted by black.

"Brother Chen!! Thank goodness you woke up!!"

While Lu Chen was confused, a voice drifted on his ears. Soon, a silhouette appeared in front of him.

Lu Chen gazed at the silhouette who appeared.

A fat young man that weighting over 100 kilos with his round face, could be seen by his pupils.

[Wh-what's going on?]

Lu Chen's confusion grew longer looking at his current situation. Suddenly, a stream of memories formed in his head resolving his dilemma.

"I-I actually transmigrated!" 

Lu Chen cried out in alarm.

He was in disbelief, a while ago, he was an ordinary man. Not even a minute has passed away before his death. Yet, he was now an outer disciple of Fragment Sword Sect?

According to the memories, The previous owner of this body was named Lu Chen; Coincidentally having the same name as him. Lu Chen was nodding his head secretly acknowledging his luck. But suddenly his expression worsen and turn dark.

Fragment Sword Sect.

Outer Disciple, Lu Chen.

Entering Fragment Sword Sect, he was accepted as an outer disciple with his passable talent. At first, he was brimming with confidence to become strong among his peers. But not long after that, his ambition broke down. Initially, he thought that after reaching the 3rd layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, he could gain a little bit of fame. But now, his ambition was now much wider for him. Because his dantian has shattered.

As for the reason his dantian shattered, it was because of Wang Peng. That day, Lu Chen was about to step inside the Martial Arts Skill Pavillion. But he was stopped by Wang Peng, which they have slowly engaged into an argument. Not long after that, he was crippled by him leaving his life into half-death state.

According to the memories, this fatty in front of him was his sworn brother, Fang Zheng. 

This Fang Zheng was the one and only friend after the previous owner entered this sect.

[Since I have taken your body, I will take revenge for you]

Lu Chen swore an oath, but shortly his expression darkened. 

With his dantian shattered, forget taking revenge against Wang Peng. If the sect received the news of him being a crippled. He will surely be expelled from the sect!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel depressed. He only heroically save a kid, yet the heaven paid him this crippled body!...

How Cruel!!!

Lu Chen shook his head, returning his consciousness in the real world as he replied. "I'm okay fatty, This Father is strong. A punch couldn't kill me, what are you anxious for?" He rolled his eyes to Fatty. "It was only a slight injury." 

"Slight?... Am I hearing wrong with your words, Lu Chen? Do you know your not only a cripple right now? There might even possibilities you get expelled from the sect, and yet, I only receive a boastful mouth from you?"

Fang Zheng roared at him with vividly worried expression on his round face.

Seeing this, Lu Chen felt warm in his heart, especially, he didn't have this kind of friend in the past which triggered his soft heart. He helplessly smiled and said. "Is there anything I could do about it? If I get expelled from the sect, so what? As long I'm alive I could take back all I wanted."

Fatty Zheng was also felt worried for his brother, if he was just there when the fight went on, he might prevent that from happening. Thinking of this, Fatty clenched his fists in regret.

"Don't worry Brother Chen, I'm about to broke through into the 4th layer of Qi Realm. I will take revenge for you." 

Fatty Zheng consulted him and with his firm eyes telling him. 'I will surely take revenge for you'

Again, His heart rose with warmth hearing this fatty. But, he shown an angry expression and said. "No need, I don't want you to take revenge on me, you stupid fatty, That damn Wang Peng had been staying at 4th layer for how many years. You're no match for him, If you insist on going, you will surely get beaten up or the worst, Wang Peng might even cripple you." , "Do you think I will let my brother get beaten up?"

"But!" 

Fatty replied while gnashing his teeth weakly.

"No buts, my decision won't change. If you insist on taking revenge for me... I will be disappointed with you fatty!"

Lu Chen said with firm decision.

He looks at Fatty Zheng who was clearly blaming himself, he stood up, patted his shoulder and said. "Rest assured, Fatty. Hmph! that Wang Peng? Just a Fart! I can take revenge on my own."


Fatty Zheng clenched his fist and blame himself for having not enough strength or else he could protect his dear brother.

"But Brother Chen, you're now a cripple, how can you take revenge against Wang Peng by relying on yourself?"

 Fang Zheng asked with a worried expression.

"I will find a way!"

 Lu Chen said firmly.

"..."

Fang Zheng was speechless, at the same time, he was feeling helpless, seeing how stubborn this brother of his. The fatty tried to convince him for the following minute, only ended up with nothing. Since he couldn't do anything to change his brother's mind, he only helplessly said. "Ok, got it! But don't go outside the following days. Okay? Brother Chen!" 

Lu Chen just nodded and promised him.

Seeing this, Fatty breaths in relief bade farewell afterward and told Lu Chen that he will secluded himself for the following three days for his breakthrough.

After Fang Zheng's back disappeared in the black room. Once again, Lu Chen make a deep sighed on his new condition.

But not long after that, he rejoiced on his misfortune.

"Ding!... Cultivator System has chosen Host 'Lu Chen' to be its owner. Congratulations to the player."

"Ding!... The System has successfully fused to Host 'Lu Chen'. Please select your path!"

"Ding!... Essence Cultivator Path : (Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Ascension Realm)... Each Realm have nine stages~ Easy Path"

"Ding!... Body Cultivator Path: ( Body Refinement, Flesh Refinement, Inner Refinement, Bone Refinement, Nirvana, Mortal Breaking) Each Realm have nine stages.. ~ Hard Path"

"The system will give ten seconds to Host 'Lu Chen' to choose from the two."

Lu Chen smiles grew bigger and quickly bonded with the easy path.

"Ding!... The system has detected Host 'Lu Chen' was unable to proceed with the Easy Path. Due to shattered Dantian, Host will be redirected to the other path."

"Ding!... Host 'Lu Chen' has successfully bonded with Flesh Refining Path. Congratulations to the player."

"Ding!... The host has been awarded a 'Body Cultivator Gift Pack' from the system. Congratulations to the player."

Lu Chen laughed and opened his Body Cultivator Gift Pack.

"Ding!. Host 'Lu Chen' had received the following item."

"Godly Flesh Refining Technique, Gale Slash, and Micro Footstep. Congratulations to the player."

Lu Chen's eyes were shining with anticipation, but soon, he becomes numb.

What!!??

"Is this the reward? For Real? How do I Level up? It doesn't make sense, from the novel I read. It said that ranking up is through leveling. How come I received a cultivation technique?!"

"Ding!... Notifying the Player 'Lu Chen' that Body Refining Path is the hardest path for the system. Since Host chooses this path, naturally,  Host 'Lu Chen' need to take it step by step which every strength increased, the power will be two times than the Refining path. That's why the Host needs to cultivate like normal people, unlike, System Refining Path, where the host could simply kill monsters to level up... System won't bother Host any longer. I wish Host 'Lu Chen' the big success, Goodbye."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes darkened and once again, he felt discouraged.

"Ding!... Sighed, since Host 'Lu Chen' was about to cry... The system will provide Host 'Lu Chen' essential growth. Like, martial skills, pills, magical treasure, and etc.", "Furthermore, If host can gather Heavenly and Earth treasure that we didn't own. We will exchange Host 'Lu Chen' Earthly and Heavenly Treasure for Exchange Points to use for buying Levels from the system... System will not bother Host 'Lu Chen' any longer, I wish you great success, Goodbye."

Cry your ass!

Lu Chen cursed the system, but at the same moment, he felt very please with the system changes.


[Hpmh! How dare you call your father crying? You're courting death slave!]

Lu Chen impatiently ordered the system like a servant to acquire the techniques he received.

"Ding!... Hu, Hu, Aiyo! System didn't know Host is a narrow-minded person, HeHe... Let's not beat around the bush!... Host successfully learned the 'Gale Slash' (Middle, Yellow Rank-Entry Realm), 'Micro Step' (Middle Rank-Entry Realm), Host 'Lu Chen' had successfully activated the Cultivation Technique. (Body Refining Path)"

Lu Chen thought for a while and said. "System, show me my status."

Ding!

[Host Status Window]
Name: Lu Chen
Current Affiliation: Fragment Sword Sect
Essence Cultivation: Crippled, Ordinary Man.
Body Cultivation: Half Entry Realm of Body Refinement. (0.5 Layer)
Sword Skill: Gale Slash! (Yellow Rank)
Footstep Skill: Micro Footstep! (Yellow Rank)

Lu Chen looked at the Cultivation and suddenly he feels troubled. Since his dantian was shattered already, that's mean he's doomed to be an ordinary man? His aura will not leak out even a little and people might suspect him having a treasure in the great future. Because according to the memories, Body Refining Path was a myth in legends.

According to the Legends. Long ago, there were countless genius was born in the great era of cultivation world. It was said that they were two paths to take. Namely, Essence and Body Path. But, the main chosen by the majority cultivators back then, was Essence Path. Because it was known for its simplicity and tremendous strength that could communicate with Heaven and Earth. Unlike, Body Refining Path that goes against the heaven, it was said that whoever cultivated in the path of the body. They will have the power to rival against the gods and defy the heavens. But many years passed, the body path has only become a myth in legend because one needs to have a great will and talent to cultivate the body, which leads to the destruction of body refining path.

"According to the legend, if body path could defy the heavens. Every breakthrough from them, their power will increase in a tremendous way." , "Since the fatty went to seclusion, I might as well Cultivate and increase my strength."

Lu Chen took a deep breath and sit cross-legged to cultivate.

Why are you here…?

As soon as I saw the person standing in front of my door, I stiffened.

"Hi…"

Still, I returned her greeting for now. Then a dazzling smile bloomed on her face.

The lady visiting my home was just like a lily of the valley, bathed in morning dew. Her luscious hair was as thin as silver threads, shining vividly in the midday sun and her light-green eyes contained a freshness like that of newly sprouted leaves. My image was clearly reflected in those very gentle-looking, droopy eyes.

"I'm so happy! I didn't expect to have a girl of my age living right next door."

As she said so, her face was filled with delight.

"I've moved a few times in the past but each time, there was never anyone around the same age as myself and my younger sister."

It was as if 'let's be friends' was written in her sparkling eyes. I felt slightly overwhelmed because she seemed to be looking at me like a future friend.

By the way, she definitely introduced herself as Anne-Marie just now, didn't she? Then, is she really what I think she is? The heroine.

I was suspicious at first but not only was her appearance the same as was described in the novel in my memory, I didn't think it was possible for two women in the world to have such dazzling, world-class beauty. Furthermore, she was also living with her younger sister.

But why did the heroine move into the house next to mine…?

While I was at loss for words like that, the woman who introduced herself as Anne-Marie proceeded to speak.

"I happened to meet another neighbor just a minute ago and I was told you work at the biggest coffeehouse around here. Is that possibly the shop at the Blue Ferret intersection?"

When I heard the following question, I paused.

"…Yes, you're right."

After coming out from the institute, I found myself a job and lived like a normal person in my own way. And now, it has been about two years since I moved here and began working at the coffeehouse on Ferret Street.

Back then, when I was thinking about saving some money to quietly settle down somewhere, I picked a day to look for a nice house where I could live alone. Then I stopped by a nearby café for a cup of coffee and tried to relax for the first time in a while. I observed the scenery in my view for a while then I turned around and at some point, my surrounding was teeming with customers. I figured the shop had pretty good business.

However, when I was about to leave, the owner of the café suddenly dashed towards me and asked me if I could work there. Naturally, I felt perplexed and tried to refuse. But the owner so desperately pleaded with me, that if it wasn't convenient for me, I could just come to the shop and sit down there like I just did. And so, I eventually got a job on this Ferret street with unconventional terms.

I had a day off once a week and today was my day off, hence why I was at home even at this time. So what Anne-Marie heard from the other neighbor was true. I wasn't quite sure who the 'other neighbor' was, but if the information didn't come from the pawn shop Mister, then it definitely came from the repair shop's Mrs. Meriel.

Those two were the only people on Grey Ferret St that liked to talk about other people's matters like that. I warned them last time not to leak my personal information like this, but they really don't listen.

Ever since I took in the ruin fragments at the institute, my emotions had become somewhat dull. So I wasn't exactly angry or upset, but the fact that someone was going around spreading details about me was a little annoying.

However, Anne-Marie was a tactful person. When she saw my awkward reaction, her face showed signs of remorse and regret.

"Ah…Sorry for asking you something so personal on our first meeting. That was rude of me, wasn't it?"

Anne-Marie quickly apologized to me, like she had made a mistake.

"Um, I'm going to be working at the clinic across the shop from tomorrow. So I was so amazed that not only are our homes close to each other, our workplaces are too… And I got ahead of myself, I'm sorry."

As she explained herself, she looked like she was at a loss for what to say.

…She was just like our Coco.

Seeing Anne-Marie like this reminded me of the dog I had raised in my previous life. I could almost see a pair of dropping ears and tail overlap on her frame. She looked so pitiful and I doubted anyone could remain angry after seeing her like this, even if their anger was in the middle of skyrocketing. Then again, I wasn't even angry with her in the first place.

Perhaps because I was reminded of my dog, Coco, my voice was much gentler than before when I spoke.

"It's fine. Since you will be working at the clinic, we'll be seeing each other more often in the future."

More than that, she said that she was going to be working at the clinic. Then I must be right. She really is the heroine of the novel.

Even though I was only saying those words out of politeness, the woman standing before me smiled bashfully, like she was really happy to hear it. I suppose I should say 'as expected of the heroine' because it was such an impeccably, bright smile.

Before she came here, she must have gone through difficulties to support her younger sister after her family was ruined, but surprisingly enough, there were no signs of that on her.

That aside, don't tell me this place was where the heroine lived at the beginning of the novel? There should still be about a year or two before the story-line begins, and the novel definitely said that the heroine moved to a shabby house. However, the houses here were one of the best in this place. Could it be that she lived here, then her finances went downhill so she moved to a smaller place?

That idea seemed right somehow. As I looked at her bright and immensely naïve face, for some reason, I felt like it would be hard for her to make money. When you rolled around on the bottom of the ladder to some extent, you learn to get a sense of things from rough observation. The woman in front of me right now, to put it nicely, she gave off the smell of an innocent and naïve person who didn't know how to be suspicious of others, and to put it in a bad way, she reeked of the smell of a pushover, the perfect target to eat clean.

In the novel, didn't she even take in an unknown man that collapsed in front of her house and treat him with utmost sincerity? The author had squeezed in several episodes in the novel, emphasizing the heroine's goodness as if trying to make her a Saint. Then, for tension in the story, bad people showed up frequently, attempting to use Anne-Marie's nature or harm her.

And then they were all sent to cross the Jordan River ( death ) by the fiendish sub-villain, Lakis. Of course, him doing that didn't mean he did something good.

Well, either way…

Since Anne-Marie just said that she had moved around frequently in the past, this place was probably not her final destination.

I scoured my memory, but I couldn't find anything in the novel related to the heroine's home address. Nevertheless, when the novel began, the place where the heroine lived was the 'hot-spot' where the male lead and the sub-villain swarmed to, so a secluded place like this could not be the main stage.

Which meant, the heroine would be moving away next year or two years from now, at the very least. I didn't really want to get close to her but since she would be my neighbor for a while, I didn't mind something as simple as exchanging names.

"You can call me Yuri."

"Wow. Even your name is so pretty."

In the research institute, I was nicknamed 'Arachne' and when I previously lived in the slums, I didn't have a name at all. So now, I was using the name I had in my previous life.

"Um, I…"

Anne-Marie began to speak as if she had suddenly remembered something. But it looked like it wasn't easy for her to say it for some reason, and she bit her lips.

"…I heard there's a ghost in my house, is that for real?"

When I finally heard what she said in a lowered voice, I was at loss for words again, but this time, it was for a different reason. I'm not sure how Anne-Marie took my reaction, but she hurriedly made an excuse.

"Of course, I don't believe in such superstitions, but I'm worried my younger sister will be scared if she hears something like this…"

However, her cheeks were slightly red, so I couldn't really believe her. Without any hesitation, I told Anne-Marie:

"There's nothing to worry about. It's just a false rumor."

The reason why the house next to mine is rumored to be haunted, was because of me. But that wasn't exactly something I could say straight to her face. Besides that, it has really been a long time, hasn't it? That rumor came about when I first moved here.

It looked like simply hearing that it wasn't true made Anne-Marie relieved, and she looked more at ease.

"I supposed that's the case? I heard that the house has been empty for quite a while before I came here. That's probably why it got attached with such a strange story."

As I listened to her words, I felt like something was pricking my conscience (and here I thought I had lost my conscience.)

Anyways, I wondered how she managed to buy such a house when it made her so nervous. No one had come to the stay in that house for almost a year and a half because it was rumored to have ghosts.

Ah, maybe she got the house slightly cheaper because of it.

However, when I heard what Anne-Marie said as she smoothed down her chest in relief, I was forced to remain silent.

[ ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MARGOT'S ORIGINAL NOVEL ]

[ TRANSLATED BY RUBYMAYBE ]

As if it wasn’t enough for me to be reincarnated as a child in the slums, I was taken to a city of crime and became a test subject. But then, when I saw the man that came to destroy the research institute, I realized that this place was the world of Piper, a reverse harem novel.

While living a relatively normal life after escaping from the institute, the heroine of the novel moved in next door. From the looks of it, I might be the heroine’s neighbor extra. Originally, the heroine was to save the unconscious and fatally wounded villain and in return, be subject to a fanatical obsession.

But, why. Why is the sub-villain collapsed in front of my house?

The sub-villain, Lakis Avalon, was the king of the underworld and the very same frightening man that I had met at the institute before.

“…”

I took a moment’s glance around then I kicked the man’s body away.

You’ve got the wrong house, Villain

"It's the Evil God's physique, as for element? you have them all." Astonishment almost blew Nie Lie's mind as he learned his brother's physique, possessing this kind of physique will enable his brother to have the power of the Evil God which can control all of the elements, although his brother needs to collect the seeds of the named element, going by the knowledge he gained from the original Nie Lie's previous memories that Evil God stood toe to toe with the Sage Emperor, it said that he successfully escaped their battle, were it not for the intervention of the Sage Emperor's Minions, the battle would've ended with a tie but after escaping from the battle, the Evil God fled to a remote plane and died.

Before the Evil God perished he left a drop of immortal blood that embodied his source of power and left a memory imprint in explaining everything about what comes with accepting his Legacy. Once accepting the Legacy your current profound veins will be destroyed and rebuilt with the profound veins of the Evil God, meaning you will lose your past cultivation, starting over. But once the profound veins are rebuilt and all profound entrances are open you will have the seven gates of the Berserk Attribute that allows the use of the Evil God Secret Arts. You will also be able to use the Evil God Seeds once you have located them. 

The Evil God is one of the four Creation Gods born from the legacy of the Ancestral God. He possessed the most extreme power of the elements within the Primal Chaos Realm. He was able to perfectly control, resist, and absorb the seven basic elemental powers: Light, Darkness, Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth. 

He was the last True God who remained until his death which spelled the end of the Primordial Era. Before the Evil God's death, he left a drop of immortal blood that embodied his source of power.

'So that's why, when we transitioned in this world, Shen Yue's cultivation was lost and had to start again.' Nie Lie finally understood the reason behind his lingering thoughts when they were transported in this world.

'I also stumbled across the Evil God's Legacy when I was in the heavenly realm, I was already at one of the highest cultivation realm at that time so giving up my cultivation to start again was the one thing I can't sacrifice at that time.' When Nie Lie stumbled across the Legacy of the Evil God prior to his fight with the Sage Emperor.

Shen Yue was still looking at Nie Lie, since he has been lost in thoughts for been quite a while now and still haven't said a single word out. He has also heard about the Evil God's Physique but it was from a different novel from the world he is from and from that novel, the protagonist has a teacher of his own and inherited a lot of inheritance and that's what made him very much overpowered. Trying to find out what his brother was thinking he finally decided to wake him up from his thoughts. "Nie Lie?"

"Oh sorry about that, here let me teach you the cultivation method of the Evil God" Being woken up from being lost in his thought Nie Lie nearly jumped.

After Learning the chant, Shen Yue started cultivating the Evil God's cultivation technique and one by one, element of the Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, Light and Darkness. Seven different colors of element started to surround Shen Yue as he started meditating. Nie Lie then turned around to see the remaining of the group.

"Everyone take one soul crystal. These primary soul crystals are to be well kept. Before reaching a soul force of 500, this primary soul crystal can be used to check the level of your soul force. Once your soul force passes 500, you will need to get intermediate soul crystal!" Nie Li said as he distributed the soul crystals to everyone.

Seeing Nie Li passing the soul crystals to them, Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun and Zhang Ming expressions were terrified.

"How can we take such expensive stuff?" Wei Nan said. One primary soul crystal was worth a thousands demon spirit coins; their living expenses for two years wouldn't even reach that much and Nie Li was actually gifting them a soul crystal.

"Yeah, we can't accept this!" Zhu Xiangjun quickly added.

Zhang Ming also did the same. They are all commoner students, when had they had such an expensive things before?

"It's given by Nie Li, take it! Unless, you don't consider us as brothers? Look at Shen Yue over there, he already started cultivating as soon as he received the cultivation technique." Du Ze spoke in a deep voice as he frowned his brows.

Although Du Ze is a commoner, he still has prestige. The trio looked at each other for awhile and nodded their heads. Taking the soul crystal from Nie Li's hand their hearts are filled with gratitude.

"Nie Li, thanks, from now on you will be our boss. If there's anything just order us to do it." the trio said. They have already approved of Nie Li in their hearts and decided to follow Nie Li.

Hearing the trio's words, Nie Li slightly smiled. Having these brothers, the things Nie Li plans to do would have its' workload reduced by half!

"Du Ze, we'll test you next!" Nie Li looked at Du Ze saying "Just do the same thing like what you did during enrollment!"

"Right," Du Ze nodded his head. Lifting the primary soul crystal, he slowly injecting soul force into the it. The soul crystal gradually started to shine. Getting brighter and brighter, shining on Du Ze's tender yet slightly matured face, speckles began appearing dancing around inside the soul crystal. Judging from this level of brightness, there is still quite a distance until reaching 1-star bronze demon spiritist.

The rest swept their gaze across it and are able to tell the approximate number of dots in the speckle, every single dot represent one soul force.

"Du Ze, you improved very fast. You already have soul force of 52!" Lu Piao said excitedly, with soul force of 52, Du Ze would probably be the first among them to have his soul force to reach 100 first, becoming a 1-star demon spiritist.

Du Ze looked at Nie Li. Nie Li is currently concentrating on watching the soul crystal.

In Nie Li's view, the amount of soul force doesn't matter, be it tens or hundreds doesn't mean a thing, the most important thing would be the attributes and the form.

Within the soul crystal there are some dots of white light, glittering with reddish grey rays of light occasionally coming together changing into various shapes, just like a cloud.

Seeing this scene, Nie Li showed surprised over his face, speechlessly said "It's actually Lightning Fire attribute and it's also Heavenly Thundercloud form." No wonder Du Ze's cultivation training speed is so fast. With Heavenly Thundercloud form along with the Lightning Fire attribute simply made a perfect match. It was a pity that in the previous life Du Ze practiced the Sacred Flame inscription pattern, so upon reaching 1-star gold rank demon spiritist he had already had reached his limit. But in this life, with Nie Li, Du Ze would have great changes.

"Lightning Fire attribute, Heavenly Thundercloud form?" Everyone present was puzzled by what Nie Li just said.

"In this world, there are no crippled soul realms. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, azure, and indigo are the seven color types of soul realm. Each represents a person's unique personality and talents. Due to various reason, some soul realms are more easy to train, but that doesn't mean that red soul realms are crippled. If you find the right cultivation technique to train with, even with red soul realm, you can also unleash powerful strength. For those who grade the soul realm into different grades, in terms of soul force cultivation, they are a bunch of amateurs!" Nie Li faintly smiled as he said those stuff.

Hearing Nie Li's words, for Du Ze, Lu Piao and the rest were thunderstruck This is too shocking, since the beginning of Glory City, those legend rank experts told them that the soul realm are graded but in the corner Shen Yue was unaffected by their conversations. Orange is stronger than red, yellow is stronger than orange… didn't he say that those of legend rank experts were just a bunch of amateurs?

In the understanding on soul realm, even legend rank experts are not at the same level as Nie Li, Nie Li can contest any legend rank expert in soul realm knowledge. Because in his previous life, Nie Li reached a level above legend rank; a rank that is unimaginable for them.

Nie Li continued saying, "Once you find a suitable cultivation technique, any color of soul realm can also reach the legend rank! Du Ze has a yellow soul realm with Lightning Fire attribute and the Heavenly Thundercloud form. With a suitable cultivation technique, inscription pattern and a Heavenly Thunder Demon Beast for his Lightning Fire attribute, his achievements will be shocking. Comparatively, his power would drop if he practiced other things, not to mention his cultivation would progress a lot slower."

Hearing Nie Li's words, Du Ze showed a distress look on his face, saying "Unfortunately, the Lightning Fire cultivation techniques in Glory City are incomplete. Even if they are recorded in ancient books, the language of the words would be from ancient times as well-" Half way through speaking Du Ze suddenly had a thought. Nie Li could even read the Book of Divine Lightning Fire. He looked towards Nie Li with hope filled eyes.

At this moment, Nie Li revealed a smile as though he had a card up his sleeve. He said, "With me here, there is nothing to worry about. It's just Lightning Fire cultivation techniques, nothing too difficult for me. I have with me the 69 strongest Lightning Fire cultivation techniques, which one do you want to practice?"

Heavenly Scarlet Lightning technique? No, this technique is too overbearing, especially once training reaches the ending, it can easy to damage one's meridians. Heavenly Qilin technique? This technique is indeed suitable for Du Ze's physique. This Heavenly Qilin technique doesn't have any issue with it but there isn't anyone that has tried practicing it before, including the creator of this technique. But in Nie Li's view, the first 9 stages of this technique are very safe, and only the last 3 stages would have some difficulties.

The strength of Heavenly Qilin technique needs no mention. Practicing up to the 9th stage is already shocking and amazing. As for the last 3 stages, that would depend on Du Ze's fate.

"You'll practice Heavenly Qilin technique, one of the three strongest Lightning Flame cultivation techniques. I will impart you with the chants for the technique and I'll also make a copy of the various martial arts for it in the future!" Nie Li soon imparted the chant for the technique to Du Ze. Heavenly Qilin technique's chant isn't too cryptic, so Du Ze remembered it very quickly.

Softly contemplating the chant inwards, Du Ze was extremely shocked by it. The Heavenly Qilin technique is definitely stronger than any other cultivation technique that he had seen in the past! Just by chanting, Du Ze already felt his soul realm frantically surging; his soul force also had obvious signs of strengthening. He has yet to begin training and his soul force already began to expand and increase!

It's foreseeable that after practicing this Heavenly Qilin cultivation technique, Du Ze will have all kinds of leaps and bounds with his soul force!

All this time, Du Ze has been struggling with the bleak fate of his family. His dream is to change the fate of his parents and family, but he clearly knew that this goal was too far away. But at this moment, Du Ze felt that by diligently practicing the Heavenly Qilin cultivation technique, all of this wouldn't pose a problem! All of this is given to him by Nie Li!

"I will record for you all the details of the cultivation technique in a few days!" Nie Li said as he faintly smiled.

Du Ze is filled with gratitude for Nie Li. His eye redden, solemnly saying, "The kindness of imparting Heavenly Qilin technique to me, I appreciate it. If you have anything I could be of help to you in the future, even if it's to hike the blade mountains or to enter the sea of flames, if I, Du Ze were to slightly hesitate, I'll be willing to die by the curse of heavens!"

"Don't put it this way, we're good brothers! It's just a cultivation technique!" Nie Li slightly smiled as he patted on Du Ze's back.

To Nie Li, this is just a piece of cultivation technique, but for Du Ze to say, the significance of it would be different!

At this moment, Lu Piao already couldn't wait anymore from the excitement, saying at the side "You guys talk too mushy, as brothers we should share the blessings and the misfortune together! Nie Li, I'm just a red soul realm, am I also suitable to train soul force?"

"Of course, everyone can train in soul force, even if it's red soul realm, except there's a difference in the cultivation technique that is suited for red soul realm!" Nie Li said, smiling.

Lu Piao began injecting his soul force into the soul crystal. Quickly, the soul crystal began to glimmer. A dozen dots of lights carrying a little redness spun within the crystal. The brightness of the glow was smaller than Du Ze's by a lot! Seeing this scene, Lu Piao's face turned red. His soul force was simply too low.

"Red soul realm, with Chaos Attribute and the Scarlet Sun form!" Nie Li frowned his brows for a moment, "Scarlet Sun soul form, although is considered common, but it actually Chaos attributed which is surprisingly rare, there wouldn't be one Chaos attribute in hundreds of thousands of people. Why not practice the Holy Primal Chaos technique?"

"Holy Primal Chaos technique? Is it strong?" Lu Piao asked excitedly, as it sounded powerful from the name itself.

"Of course, Holy Primal Chaos technique isn't in any way inferior to Heavenly Qilin technique. As it doesn't require much practice, only the need to foster the Chaos Qi in your body, it suits you." Nie Li said, laughing, "It will depends on your luck as for training to the highest level."

Listening Nie Li's words, Lu Piao's eyes instantly shined. This piece of cultivation technique is too suitable for him. He chuckled as he said, "I don't need to practice to the highest level, I will be satisfied as long as I can reach 1-star silver rank demon spiritist."

1-star silver rank demon spiritist… If the creator of Holy Primal Chaos technique knew how "big" Lu Piao's ideal was the creator would have choked at the thought.

"1-star silver rank…" Nie Li is speechless. He estimated that before long Lu Piao will realise how laughable his dream is. Practicing Holy Primal Chaos cultivation technique, it would be impossible to stabilize in 1-star silver rank. As the Chaos Qi accumulates in his body, Lu Piao's cultivation will also advance by leaps and bounds reaching a frightening level!

Nie Li also began to test Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun, Zhang Ming and gift them each with a set of powerful cultivation techniques. Although it can't be compare with Holy Primal Chaos or Heavenly Qilin technique, they are still cultivation techniques that no other technique in Glory City can be compared to. Not to mention the cultivation techniques were also the best suited to their aptitudes and soul realms, their future practice would also be more effective!

Wait till reaching 5-star bronze rank and find a suitable demon spirit, then their combat capabilities would also rapidly increase!

Glancing at the piece of soul crystal in his hand, Nie Li prepared to test his own innate talent. Due to various reasons in his previous life, Nie Li took a lot of detours and the cultivation techniques he practiced were very messy. This resulted in him lacking strength at the end of his training. Therefore in this life, he wanted to find the most suitable cultivation technique for himself! He was also intrigued about something. 

'If Shen Yue's Physique and Attribute was changed then what about mine?"

Me and my best friend got reincarnated to be arch enemies in a novel? That's great Hahaha.

Lu Zhiyu watched the departure of the SS Eternity as the graduates of the wizard tower waved their farewells at him before gradually disappearing into the horizon. He had no doubt that this group of students would bring a storm of revolutions to the continent, just as Ahenaten had before them.
"Sargon, please take care of the tower." Lu Zhiyu was draped in a magnificent silver white long robe. The sleeves billowed when he turned around.
"Yes Master, do not worry. I definitely will not allow anything to go amiss in the tower. The rules that you have set and your wishes will be faithfully adhered to." Sargon saluted Lu Zhiyu earnestly.
Lu Zhiyu looked at him. "Good. You all have done very well over the last six years. I have forbidden you all from ever leaving the tower. However, from the next generation onward, your descendants will have no such restrictions. If your children are talented, I will allow them to become apprentices of the tower. If they are not blessed with talent, I will send them out and provide them with a life of wealth."
Sargon stared at Lu Zhiyu in disbelief. He knew the significance of Lu Zhiyu's words and the power of witchcraft. Over the last few years, the slaves had also gained a keen understanding that it was a truly supernatural ability and existence that surpassed everything. With those abilities, it was easy to awaken the powers within the blood, to manipulate the body and perform godly actions. If the descendants of the slaves could become wizard apprentices, they could leap straight into a class beyond the existences of the nobles.
Sargon fell to his knees, as his voice became choked in tears. "My utmost gratitude, Master! We will never forget your magnanimity. My daughter does not have the talent to become a wizard, so I wish to send her out to marry into a good family. It seems that my son may have the potential to become an apprentice, so I wish you would allow him to study within the tower. I understand the rules, so I will find the tuition for him."
Lu Zhiyu nodded. "No problem. I'll allow it."
Lu Zhiyu's body rippled and the corner of his sleeve disappeared. Sargon was already unfazed by Lu Zhiyu's mystical powers. To the slaves, the wizard apprentices already felt like a completely different species from ordinary human beings. As for Lu Zhiyu, the slaves viewed him as being on the same tier as gods and demons.
Lu Zhiyu had stayed some decades in Maria's World. He had finally completed the goal he had set for himself of becoming a level seven mythical wizard. Lu Zhiyu planned on taking a break after taking care of some miscellaneous tasks. He wanted to do nothing and relax for a bit. After all, for the past twenty years, he had been working tirelessly, and even sleeping in the laboratory, as he was developing his research. Lu Zhiyu felt that the stress within him had reached a breaking point.
Lu Zhiyu yearned to go back to the Earth, the world of humankind. He wanted to return to experience the feeling of living in that kind of community again. Though he was used to the life of solitude, it was still uncomfortable for him.
"Soon, it will be New Years in Maria's World. Calculating by the new calendar set by the Church of Light, it should be in about a month."
Lu Zhiyu remembered that the first day of the new year was when the Church of Light was going to hold the Saint Baptism ritual at St. Sarl City. The creation of the Saints and the appearance of the divine system was very important to Lu Zhiyu, as it was a way to balance out the wizards.
Without competition, there would be no progress and no elimination of the weak. In such a scenario, the quality of things tended to be the absolute worst.
As such, both the wizard and divine systems were essential to Lu Zhiyu. Though the divine system was crude, it still had great potential when compared to the wizard system. Lu Zhiyu looked forward to seeing which system would flourish within the competition.
------
In the days preceding the New Year, there were countless carts and crowds heading to St. Sarl City of the Kingdom of the Church of Light. Many believers of the Church of Light had started the pilgrimage, kneeling after every step. It would take countless months to reach St. Sarl City, their holy city.
On the wide roads, not only were there large car brigades, but there were also large numbers of believers on both sides, wearing simple robes and serious demeanors, their eyes shining with pious fervor. These believers were everywhere on the roads heading to St. Sarl City.
All of these people were there to attend the Saint Baptism ritual, to witness the miracle of God. Even if they could only catch a glance of it from very far away or breathe the same air as God, it was their purpose in life and an utmost honor.
At the same time, the leaders of many nations and their nobles were also heading to St. Sarl City with the invitation from Pope Hodap from the Church of Light. All of the eyes of humanity were aimed at the holy city of the Church of Light: St. Sarl City.
The huge number of people crowding around St. Sarl created chaos. Other than the most skilled Knights of Light provided by the Church, there were also three other large armies stationed around St. Sarl City, each ready to be deployed at any time in order to prevent any incidents during the ceremony.
On the road, a cavalry team suddenly appeared. Hundreds of knights guarded a carriage that was heading to St. Sarl City. Behind the cavalry, there was a fleet of carts carrying a large number of resources.
It was obvious that this was not an ordinary figure, as they were allowed into the Kingdom with hundreds of guards. Only the leaders of countries could receive such treatment, so all of the people hurried to clear the roads, not willing to offend the mysterious leader by running into their brigade.
"Another king. Which one is this? The insignia on the carriage is unfamiliar," one of the merchants remarked, as he watched the brigade proceed slowly from the side.
One of the other merchants from the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro immediately replied, "That is the Golden Rose, the royal insignia of the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro. The one in the carriage would be Rooney the First, who recently ascended to the throne. He is the legendary kin of God, the master of dragons, a true legend and an absolute hero."
After he spoke, all of the people present gasped. Even three year old children knew about the legend of Rooney Elvis. His epic tales were lauded within the human kingdoms. Known as the man who killed a deity with a mortal body, he rose from being a lesser noble and took the throne from the powerful Luhmann dynasty, creating his own kingdom. This sort of legend, where an ordinary man rose to become a hero for the ages, wasn't the plot of some novel, but actual real life.
Yet almost no one had seen Rooney the First in person before. After hearing about his arrival, all the people looked at the luxurious carriage with extreme curiosity.
The brigade of carts holding gifts also attracted the attention of the crowd, especially the goldpacas. Their shining golden fur, quirky heads, and unique expressions attracted the crowd as if they had spotlights.
"What's that? It seems strange."
"It's fur is really pretty."
The merchant from the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro spoke up again. "Never seen much of the world, have you? That beast is called the Goldpaca, and it is an camelid that is special to the Kingdom of Rosa d'Or. Some people caught them from the Black Forest a few years back and tamed them. They have spread within our country."
"Goldpacas are very excellent camelids. They have a good speed. They can even run on mountainous grounds. They are strong and easy to raise, with very gentle natures. It's only a pity that they're a bit timid and a bit dumb. So far, many merchant teams have been buying them. I tried to buy some, but the competition was very fierce, so I didn't get any."
"Black Forest? Isn't that the legendary land of the demons, the kingdom of devils? It's said to be filled with monsters and demons. People can actually return from there alive?"
"They're that awesome? Then I must buy a few when I visit next time."
