This floor looked more like the interior of a lavish castle than the interior of a stone fort. The first floor was merely made as a defence to prevent the intrusion of spies and the like. That is the reason for its maze-like structure. According to the lore, the dwarves of the fort were apparently very cautious individuals as they lived in a remote and dangerous outpost.

The second floor had the actual royals and the residences of the important decision makers of the fort. It was accordingly better looking and had a proper floor plan which is much more clear and easier to navigate than compared to the first floor.

The second floor has a long main corridor starting from the atrium in which they were. There were definitely smaller passages into from the main corridor, but the boss of this floor would be at the opposite end of the main corridor. The side passages just had a few orcs and a few other treasure chests and surprises.

"Come quick. We must reach the bottom floor and save Lord Bungar," said the dwarves that followed them down.

"Let us check the entire area. If we go in a hurry, we might face ambush and wouldn't probably be able to reach our objective," said Shadow as he cast stealth. "Check the atrium for anything you can find in the meantime," he messaged in the team chat as he entered the main corridor.

He had already known the way for a long time and his main aim was only to take enough pictures to make a comprehensive guide that his guild could use. He quickly went around taking a few pictures and returned. He didn't even cross a quarter of the main corridor but took enough pictures for them to start. He still considered clearing the dungeon to be the main property. Though he got the first kill, there is a high chance that some super guild was also right behind them and he didn't want to take any chances after he lost the hell mode first clear. He realized that even with his knowledge of the game there would a good number of players that could best him.

"Come on. I found a few orcs in the side passages. Let us start with them," said Shadow as he came back. "What did you fine here?" he asked. It was a first exploration and there was a good chance that even in dungeons there would be a few things that wouldn't be known to him.

"Nothing but a few books about the dwarves that lived here," said Merlin who had went through atrium completely. The only thing he found were a few books about the iron forge dwarves that stayed in the castle. The iron forge dwarves were the clan of dwarves that were mainly known for their forging skills in the game. This was one of the reasons that Balthazar wanted to explore the entire floor as there was a high chance of getting forging designs at this floor.

"Huh!?" asked Shadow in surprise. He had no clue about what Merlin had found and wondered if it was anything that would be useful or provide suggestions for a quest.

"It is just about their clan and their expertise and so on. It isn't anything that is actually useful right now. It is just some of those stuff you find in the atrium of a new place, you know, like introduction to place for visitors," said Merlin.

"You read it?" asked Shadow.

"Na. Quiet found them and is going through it. She told us a few things about the iron forge dwarves. That's it," replied Merlin pointing to Quiet Fire who seated herself on a small broken-down shelf and had a book open in her hands.

He quickly went to her and to check them out. One was about the dwarves clans in general, the other about the iron forge dwarves and third was about how and why they came to construct the fort. These were all things that Balthazar had already known.

"Ok. Let us get moving. We can read these later," said Shadow pulling them into the main entrance. He had already marked places with orcs where he took Merlin and few others while he had Mob, Bitter Beast and Sultan to check places which he thought were empty of monsters. He needed someone to look every place to check for treasures and he chose ones who could at least retreat themselves safely or heal themselves in case of an ambush.

In this manner, they quickly went through the second floor. The second floor was actually much easier than the first floor as it didn't have any traps. There were only orcs who were guarding some treasures or ambushed them, but with the troll in Merlin's control, they made quick work of any monsters that they came across.

Along the way, they also came across groups of orcs which had orc shamans. The shamans didn't have any weapons like swords unlike Gularg. They were the same size as the other orcs but just had different tactics that would make it hard to use the troll to defeat them.

These groups weren't large and had ten monsters at most, but the orc shamans were mages that could attack from a distance. So, Merlin couldn't use the troll on it as the shaman kept its distance from it. 

The shamans were the only monsters that other players actually got a decent chance to have a decent fight with. The rest of the orcs just came to the troll to get smashed in a few swings of its club. Merlin also noticed this and started trying to use his subjugation skill on the shaman whenever he got a chance. The dungeon was no longer a challenge but became an experiment to him due to the superb skill of his unique weapon.

He also outfitted the troll with the second gold great sword to check its effectiveness. The sword was actually much more effective in its hand. The orcs are receiving similar damage and even bleed effects while they are not being smashed into pulp at the end. They were just being cut into pieces. This still provided them a better chance to get equipment from the orcs.

Merlin also equipped his servant with armor slowly as they went through the second floor. They took a little more than 30 minutes to clear half the second floor and have managed to open 4 treasure chests in the way. The treasure chests were all silver grade giving them 7 silver equips and 9 bronze equips total. At this time, the troll was equipped with a shield and six pieces of armor. It looked very funny with a sword in one hand and shield in the other and an assortment of armor pieces which looked too small for it.

During this time, they went into 10 shamans of which Merlin tried to make three of them his servants finally succeeding in the last one. That too was because Shadow had helped him. Balthazar remembered that the control type skills usually have better effect when the target is already in a trance or stunned state. So, he cooperated with Merlin and used cheap shot on the shaman after which the subjugation skill which failed the past two times successfully made the shaman Merlin's servant.'

"We will stick to this idea. I am not really sure if we got lucky or if it has some effect, but we can try," said Merlin happily. He was very happy that he got another servant and he wanted to check out Shadow's hypothesis as it would mostly provide him a good way to get servants in dungeons and quests. He found servants to be quite useful as they acted just as he wanted them to and he needn't worry about them deviating from his instructions as much as the other players.

The shaman servant made it much easier to fight against the other groups of orcs and shamans that came later. They soon managed to reach the end of the second floor in another 30 minutes. The main corridor ended in two rooms. One was a locked warehouse and the other was the court room which was double the size of the atrium.

The court room had the throne and was the point of interaction of Lord Bungar with other dwarves in the keep. It was currently filled with 30 orcs, 3 orc shaman and a troll. The troll was on the throne and had a meter taller than Merlin's servant troll. It also had a club in its hands.

This was usually considered the hardest boss fight of the dungeon by most players in his previous life because of the number of monsters they had to fight at a time and the monsters including the boss troll didn't have any specific aggro system they could make use of. They all attacked randomly, and monsters would just usually retaliate against anyone who attacks them. It was bound to be a chaotic fight where they constantly need to escape the trolls swings.

[Dhrome Troll Outcast] (Boss Monster)

Level 15;

HP: 13000/13000;

"A troll and shamans with dwarves?! Kill those traitors," shouted Dhrome and the orcs started running towards them. It was usually time for the players to use due dynamites and fireworks to split apart the group and attack. But Shadow had different plans as he had helpers.

"Quiet Fire blind the troll when it gets up and focus on shamans. Sultan, Tang, hit and run aim to cripple troll legs. We need you to hold back from the orcs even after blind use firecracker or dynamites to attract and run away from us. Do it only after it gets up. Don't join our fight," shouted Shadow.

He turned to the others. "We kill and clear out the orcs as fast as possible. I think it won't have same behavior as the last boss, being that the grunts are of a different species," said Shadow. "Anyway, Merlin have your servants start on the orcs, we can see how it goes from there."

"Ya. We can check its behavior and plan our tactics accordingly," said Merlin having a look at the troll boss which was still seated on its chair. It looked like it was actually stuck in the dwarven throne and was using the club in its hand to push itself up. It had a comic look with it being stuck in the chair. Balthazar knew this and he also knew that it would only get out of the throne by breaking it once ten of the orcs died. Sultan and Tang were making way towards the troll without involving themselves much in the fight with the other orcs.

Grenadier was using the staff from the previous boss and his damage improved significantly from it. He and Quiet Fire along with Merlin's two servant shamans managed to aggravate the orcs easily. The others also started attacking the orcs with the two dwarves as they came closer. They kept close to Merlin's servant troll which was moving in the direction of the orcs.

The idea was the same as the last time - to use the troll to kill the orcs quickly and efficiently. They have already noticed during the past fights that the troll's attacks damage the orcs faster and are actually giving more loot when scavenged than the scenario when they use their cluttered attacks. However hard they tried, they tend to not always hit humanoid monsters at the same points, especially when those monsters working with each other in cooperation. The trolls strong attacks was the best option.

"Merlin, Bitter Beast need you with me. Let us get another shaman," said Shadow as he went into stealth. He planned to use his shadow clone for making a cheap shot on a shaman to stun it so that Merlin could get another servant. It is best if they succeed before chrome killed ten orcs and the boss gets into the fight.

The orcs started attacking chrome and the other players. The number of orcs were thrice their own and it was hard to hold them back. So, Merlin had them all retreat backwards slowly as they fought. He told them to retreat so that he would get a chance to get a shaman and they would then attack from behind. They could actually push the orcs back, but Merlin wanted to put some chaos among them and kill a greater number of them at a time.

Though chrome the troll was retreating, every swing of its sword still caused a lot of damage and it was able to block the others attacks quite effectively with it shield that it was surprising.

About fifty seconds later, they were already at the end of the courtroom when Merlin managed to get another shaman as his servant. At that time, it was as they had hoped. The shamans all attacked from behind the other orcs as they were pure mages and the orcs provided them cover from physical assaults which were their weakness. So, the converted shaman was actually behind the rest and started firing from behind the orcs causing confusion and none of the orcs were even blocking these attacks as they had their tanks in front.

At the same time, Shadow had managed to use cheap shot another shaman, this time with his original body (not clone). Merlin and Bitter Beast focused their attacks on the third shaman while the first shaman continued to attack from behind the orcs.

Grenadier and others who were just passively blocking till now also started to attack back to push and kill as many orcs as possible. It would have been hard with the players alone, but the servant troll managed to do so easily with its shield and sword. Merlin got creative and started to make try moves like whirlwind strike which he had seen Crimson Power use. It was actually quite effective in scattering the orcs.

In a minute, the orcs were all aggroed onto the players and chrome, the troll which had already killed more than ten. The troll Dhrome which was seated on the throne till now, took its club and broke the throne it was sitting on with a swing downwards.

"You fools, you enraged me and caused me to lose my throne," shouted Dhrome. "I will kill you," it said as it started to move towards them when a fire cloak cast by Quiet Fire covered its face and Sultan and Tang attacked at the same time.

Tang used the same Meteor smash skill to attack. She managed to push it back and it stumbled a bit, but the knockback effect wasn't strong enough to make it fall back as it did with Chrome. It just took a couple of steps back and started to pat its face in pain.

"Try to cripple its legs. The trolls always move slowly due to their huge body. Make it slower and run back to help kill the rest of these orcs," shouted Merlin. He had noticed that the troll didn't actually go berserk like the orc shaman in the first floor. If it isn't focused on his servants, he was sure that its attacks would deal a lot of damage to them and didn't want them to risk a close combat fight like they did with the orc shaman. Moreover, he had already seen his own servants capabilities with a club, he didn't want to see how effective the attacks of a bigger troll would be on his teammates.

The Future: Mankind developed technologies of warping space and interstellar travel has been a common occurrence.
Technological advances improved human lives in many ways and led to longer lives changing their livelihood in unexpected ways. The relentless pursuit of science made humans reach many unseen heights and wonders of the world.

Greed of humans led to rapid and unconstrained expansion till they finally faced an unexpected obstruction in the form of intelligent alien lifeforms. The sudden halt to the human age of expansion by the unknown creatures in their own phase of expansion had led to wars and crime.

We delve into the live of Balthazar, one of the heirs of an ultra-rich family. The world of politics, treachery, war and assassinations.

Some of the authors who write their stories in Webnovels are below twenty years of age. This is also the reason why it is very common for them to talk about mangas, manhwa, novels, anime, and many other things that teenagers talk about.

As you may already know, some of the stories that you read in this platform were inspired by them. Perhaps in the future, one of you will also write a story of your own, and inspire others to write theirs as well.

HavenlyJeep: Oof. I think its because it was from VN that the turning point is a bit far than normal shows @Namake

Murakami: Oof, her school isn't done yet tho?

Alison35: Oh yeah! I forgot a trip with her mother. *sparkle emoticon*

Cel_T: *sparkle emoticon*

Murakami: lol.

Namake: I mean it was ok.

Namake: And that explains it.

Murakami: It is wrong.

Namake: and I was like "what?"

Murakami: and going to Avalon.

Sleepteddy: Thanks! It took me 18 chapters to get it.

Alison35: @Namake Let's light up the world! Sparkle time *sparkle emoticon* Congratulations Teddy!

Namake: *sparkle emoticon*

Murakami: But, Mordred is female as well.

Rianolinon: Exactly.

Murakami: But apparently Mordred is a result of incest cos Morgana forcefully took Arthur's s*m*n and had a baby using it.

Elyon: Here's the thing. 

Rianolinon: Elyon go sleep.

Elyon: There are a few titles out there that came from VN's. Clannad, Little Busters.

Rianolinon: Morgana the league character? Owo

Murakami: And don't ask why a female arthur has s*m*n. No, Morgana as in half-sister of Arthur.

Rianolinon: The theories are Merlin gave Arthur a thing using magic.

Murakami: That's not a theory. It's the lore.

Rianolinon: Same sh**

Murakami: Canon.

Elyon: Lmao actually, Lancelot was Mordred's father because Arthur's wife Guinevere likes the *Ahem*

[A/N: Believe me when I say that I don't know anything about King Arthur's lore. Just making things up during this convo.]

Murakami: No.

Elyon: Lmao.

Murakami: Mordred was conceived b4 that affair and Lancelot already has a son Galahad. Supposedly, the best knight of the round table.

Elyon: No.

Murakami: Which made Lancelot hate Arthur.

HavenlyJeep: U forgot my bro Gawain.

Elyon: It doesn't follow the script.

Murakami: I'm talking about the real legend. It's funny though Galahad sat on the burning chair.

Rianolinon: Burning chair?

Murakami: It was a chair that burnt the people who weren't supposed to sit on it.

HavenlyJeep: Aizen sama chair.

Elyon: I'd like to know the dimensions of the chair *thinking emoticon*

Rianolinon: So like a rightfully throne chair.

Murakami: And it was "supposedly" reserved for the best knight who outmatched even Arthur's skill.

Rianolinon: And he sat on it and died.

Murakami: Yes. No. He died cos Arthur was jealous and Galahad got sent to search for the Holy Grail.

Rianolinon: So, who was the best knight?

Murakami: Galahad.

Elyon: And so the Holy Grail War was born. *nods in appreciation*

Rianolinon: Okay. Anyway, back to what I was saying. You all left one important thing out.

Elyon: What did we forget cat goddess?

Murakami: That no-one cares?

Elyon: Don't make me stab you again.

Rianolinon: All sabers have yellow hair.

Elyon: No.

Murakami: Uh-huh. No they don't.

Rianolinon: Stop lying to yourself.

Murakami: But there is a thing called "Saber Face."

Rianolinon: Don't say I'm colorblind like what my child said to me. The Fedora was obviously orange, but he said it was red.

Murakami: It was red. It even had "red" in its name.

Rianolinon: It was orange >:C

Elyon: Just look at Atilla. She's saber class.

Rianolinon: Who the hell is Atilla?

Murakami: The Hun.

Rianolinon: I mean not Saber.

Murakami: Altera.

Rianolinon: Sh*t. What am I saying I meant the Ugh!!!??? I forgot the Fate Titles. Lancer has a blue hair guy. Berserker has black hair guy. Archer has white hair guy. Assassin I don't remember. 

Murakami: Rider.

Rianolinon: Purple hair I think. Caster has pink hair. Rider has pink hair
Astolfo is bae. What do u call the judge?

Murakami: Ruler

Elyon: Then we get Jean D' Arc.

Rianolinon: Yeah the ruler. The one thing that is useless.

Elyon: Damn I didn't get her in the Gacha it sucks at the beginning.

Rianolinon: Always ends up almost dying.

Elyon: I love Heracles, but If I were to choose between a Bulky Mad Man and Jean, I'd go for Jeane.

Murakami: lol

➤Fun-FactsThis Part is meant for little Facts and Details. This can pertain to my other works such as Mana: Goddess of Destiny and Mana: Before the Rise. This also may Container Spoilers.
 
-        Updated December 6, 2019
 
Fun-Fact #1.  All of Mana's Children that had descended into True Godhood, are in fact the versions of her-self's that she had to collect when her Soul Shattered. Take Rose and Lily, these to are in fact Rachel and Miyu.
 
Fun-Fact #2. Mana name is shortened, For a much longer name. It is actually Manalaya, it is a fictional flower that was prominent and rare in her mother's world. The flower can have a seemingly infinite number of petals and is transparent looking. This Is Why, Mana's eyes change color all the time because something transparent can always be filled with color.
 
Fun-Fact #3. Rachel's Father was a considerably good-Looking man with a mental disability (autism). Her mother at the time believed with his looks that he shouldn't be an ordinary person. And thought she was sticking it rich, but, when she found out he was mentally impaired she abandoned and married her stepfather. He unfortunately died in a traffic accident when she was Six.
 
Fun-Fact #4. Rachel has had multiple lover's or love interests, making her more experience in her relationships. Azdis is one of her most serious relationships, while Kevin (Tsiyi) is nothing more then a crush/Interest that never went anywhere. When Rachel is reborn as Rose, she in the end marries Azdis reincarnation and has Morgan.
 
Fun-Fact #5. Rachel's real name isn't Rachel, it is Faith. After her father's death her mother had her named changed to Change to Rachel.
 
Fun-Fact #6. Originally the first version of Mana that was supposed to start this novel wasn't going to be Rachel, it was going to be a woman named Grim. For those of you who have read 'Mana: The Goddess of destiny' Grim's name may sound familiar. She is the King of all Dragons.
 
Fun-Fact #7. Rachel wasn't the only version of Mana to start collecting the shards of her own soul. Pandora was the first version of Mana to start collecting the shards of her soul. She ended up perishing at the 90% mark, under the pressure of the higher deities. It turned into a massive war between herself and them when they realized she was the closet to reaching Godhood.
 
 
 
 
 
➤Questions & AnswersI Wanted to Pull this part in to here. Because my story can be somewhat confusing. So, this part is meant to answer some Questions People may Have. Note that everything here and mentioned is meant for my book's lore, and why certain things happen.
 
-Updated: January 4, 2020
 
Q: What is Perception & Thought?
A: In creating a World, a creator's thoughts and Perception flow into the world. The design of the world, its stability and lifespan are all dependent on the creator's Perception and Thought.
As such if you see certain familiar situations in worlds that are familiar to Others. It means that the Creator of that World's perception and thought was influenced by another creator.
 
A: What is a World Core?
Q: A World Core, is the Pillar of the world, it had a similar position to the The Pillar of Cephiro, from the anime Magic Knight Rayearth. Except it does more than "just prays for peace and the well-being of all people"ie
 
It is Created by Perception and Thought and when eventually the creator leaves the world for other ventures it become the main charge of the world and the one running it.
 
Q: What is the Purpose of 'Story'?
A: Although it takes perception and thought to create a world, it takes a little more to run it. Stories are used to get the world to not only stay stable but increase its lifespan.
 
If Stories generate enough Power (Perception & Thought), it can continue even past its prime and even if the creator as left the world.
 
Q: Are Creators God?
A: No, they are not. Although Similar in certain perspectives, they are a type of Deity.
 
Q: What is a Deity?
A: Deities are beings that can influences worlds. There are Six Types of Deities: World Cores, Blessed, Insignis, Creators, Watchers, Destroyers.
 
World Cores are Deities although they are the weakest type of Deity.
 
Blessed are the Mortals blessed by either the 'True' God or other powerful Deities. The Blessed are Reincarnator, Transmigrator, Awakened, or Dimensional Travelers.
 
Insignis are beings that can influence worlds more then the blessed another term for them would be champions as they are servants to the higher Deities. Watchers, Creators, and Destroyers can revert to this position.
 
Creators are the deities that create worlds, to creators a world is like a business and the Consumers are other Creators, Watchers, and Destroyers.   
 
Watchers are the most secretive of deities the only watch the going on in a world, although they can influence a world more heavily then their Creators. They prefer not to as they are just, they're for the story and the experiences.
 
Destroyers are like the Watchers in that they can also influence a world heavily in fact most of the time it can be astronomically determination to a world. They have the ability to eat worlds (World Core) are even more problematic if they were formerly 'Blessed'.
 
Q: What's the Difference between Deity's and God?
A: Deities influence worlds But God's influences all of Creation. Including the Deities themselves, the things that stay permeant in worlds like Day and Night or Life and Death are Controlled by 'God'. Although the deities are given some influence, they are not something that Deities can change entirely.
 
Q: So is Rachel a Blessed?
A: Yes and No, Rachel is a Blessed Destroyer, the worst combination. She is the only one of her Selves that was given this advantage. Although in terms of Power she is really weak even weaker then a blessed. This is due to her not eating 'Worlds' so her progress in getting stronger is extremely slow. Although it doesn't look like that on the outside.
 
Q: How Long has Rachel lived as Krirra in Odore Garden.
A: Roughly 500 years.
 
Q: Is everyone in Odore Garden a deity?
A: Yes, they are all upper level deity comprised of Insignis which is more then half the population and Watchers and Destroys that make a rare and very small handful.
 
Q: What is the purpose of Odore Garden
A: In light of the God of all Gods, passing the order of retirement and needing to be replaced. Odore Garden was made in the purpose to find out how to Win God's competition and replace the current God.
 
Q: Why does Odore Garden focus on Blessed people?
A: Because the only hint the High God gave to win the Competition was the 'Blessed"
 
Q: Is the increase in the amount of Blessed due to God's competition?
A: Yes
 
Q: Will a creator ever show up in the story?
A:No, creators are different then other deity, they prefer not to be seen in their works or that of others. They sometimes will take to lower gods but only when it involves to their creation.
 
Q: Why was Rachel able to enter the Pandurium world at Convenient times, when there is no Concept of time when a world becomes a Pandurium.
 
A: Rachel used loophole, true there is no concept of time, but that doesn't mean there are no loopholes. It just that they have a risks when in 'Alter Ange Verge', she used one of the shards of her own soul. However, in the 'Apocalyptic' world, she had a draw back and was forced to become a spirit in nature but not actually one. The reason she ended up this way is because she forced herself into a timeline where she doesn't exist and has to riley on the 'Second Female lead' who had a cannon fodder like fate.  
 
 
Q: How big is Odore Garden?
A: Odore Garden is roughly around the size of Australia.

Relaxing music from The Legend of Zelda series played in the background as Eranoth prepared to write about one of the darker sides of shapeshifting. "I do not plan to write down all the ways to apply bloodshifting as that would take out people's creative thunder and take way too long."
The man paused to drink more of the 3rd can of mountain dew baja blast. 
"Blood-shifting in simple definition is that there is something in the blood of the creature in question that allows for a transformation. The most common application of bloodshifting is blood corruption. 67% (made up statistic) of Lycanthropy lore is based around blood corruption."
Eranoth popped his fingers and smirked. "To start with the 'easiest' to find lore; we will use a very generic example of this: A Werewolf. Though just a reminder, this applies well beyond the scope of werewolves. Lore and application are different."
"If one does an in depth study of werewolves they would find that there are actually over 30 different variations of werewolf lore so don't begrudge me if I don't use the lore you are expecting. I will likely cover it in a different chapter."
"Whether it is a disease, a curse from a god, or a deal with a devil, most werewolves claim to be humans that have become corrupted by the 'blood of the wolf'. Even the Elderscrolls series uses a blood corruption."
Eranoth slapped his face and erased a few things to avoid going on a tangent. 
"As I said before there are a lot of factors to consider when dealing with shapeshifting. So let's start. Blood corruption Go!" He lifted his hand in a fist heroically.
"HOW? When component X enters the bloodstream of a creature the blood becomes tainted and corrupted. In the case of a werewolf it is the substance known as 'Lycanthropy' With Blood corruption transformations you have to pay close attention to this. If you don't, it is easy to accidentally lore break. The specifics of how can be changed easily: skin touching skin, saliva, blood, (Omitted words for those not yet adults), and so on." 
"WHAT? This is something for the individual author to decide. Usually there is one of four outcomes however more can become applied after all, creative geniuses exist everywhere.
1:Instant mutation- X turns creature into a new species. (In werewolf lore, there is a thing where instead of having a full moon transformation, they just become a wolfman like creature sometimes feral sometimes not.)
1.1 Permanent transformation- Some Lore dictates that once you have become a a new creature you will always be that new creature. In werewolf lore there is some of this as well. Once a werewolf always a werewolf. Most often this lore has a 'conditional release' like meditate in the morning dew every day for a month without eating meat. A condition that would be nearly impossible to complete as the new creature but usually feasible if you were your old self. (This is usually a one-time one-way transformation with conditions to undo it)
1.2 Temporary transformation- Other lore exists that say the transformation acts like a cold or a flu. You catch it, are under its effects and then you get over it and it goes away. In werewolf lore there is a supposed strain of lycanthropy that turns the victim into a bloodthirsty feral werewolf for 7-10 days where they go kill and infect others and after the time, they return to normal unless they catch it again.
2: Conditional Mutation- Under Y conditions, Creature becomes a new species. (Full moon transformation, consumption of a specific substance, etc are conditional transformations)
 2.1: Creature is only new species under Y and is normal species when not. This is rare in werewolf lore but more common with other types of magical transformations. 
 2.2: Creature is extreme new species under Y, is still tainted even when Y is not around. This is the most well known lycanthropic lore. 'You are a werewolf. Things about your human self have changed slightly and you turn into a wolf or a wolfman during the full moon.'
 2.3: Once Y happens, mutation is permanent. This one is not common in lycanthropic lore however other blood curses act under this thing. This is usually a conditional hostile takeover. If resolved before the condition is met then no problem but if the condition is met it is difficult to overcome. 
3:Slow mutation- A progressive change occurs almost so naturally that it is hard to detect until it is too late. (This is also not common in werewolf lore. However think of it in terms of a health defect that progressively gets worse over time. Often it goes unnoticed until it causes a very significant problem. These usually start with the logic and emotions and inner workings of the body before they manifest externally. Most often there are ways to treat the symptoms but not treat the problem.
4: Genetic override or blood swap- Very similar to the permanent instant transformation and slow mutation types. This one is a bit different though. After X infects the bloodline it rejects the creature's original self completely. Turning the creature into a new being. This can be a long or a slow process but this transformation type is often dangerous to put into stories without careful consideration as this is one of many types that can lead to lorebreak easily. My sister RedPandaChick's novel Chdrtlsy: A Short Story uses this form of transformation."
"WHY? Usually it is done as a curse, punishment, or just plain being unlucky. Very rarely is a Blood Corruption type of transformation done willingly or for a good thing. (There are always exceptions to the rules.)"
"As for the other questions, those are more individual to the writer when it comes to blood corruption transformation. Speaking of other questions, with blood corruption there is an extra question to consider. If the creature dies under the effects of the transformation do they revert to their old selves or do they remain in their transformed state?"
"If there is a need for clarification on Blood corruption shapeshifting feel free to let me know. I know not everyone speaks Eranothian. Please know this is only the first of many chapters regarding shapeshifting lore. If I haven't covered it yet, I probably will, as I write more, lots more.
Eranoth took a deep breath. "Whoo, that is a lot. Mother is trying to call me over to figure out my work schedule for the week. So I will take a short break and continue writing."
He rubbed his temples. "Now that that headache is out of the way for the evening… time to continue my info dump in chapter 3. More dealings with blood. As a side note, bloodshifting will take a few more chapters."

Eranoth's Lore books are a series of books about otherworldly lore. They are designed to bring clarification about subjects that are not easily understood. 
This particular lorebook is dedicated to the many methods of shapeshifting. 

Eranoth's actual novels will come out at a later time when they are ready to be unleashed upon the world. Please know that Eranoth's lore books are not his world's lore, they are general lore for the use and adaption of writers.

For those seeking logic for lore, feel free to let me know what types of lore you want me to write books for. Before you get all excited, I WILL NOT waste time writing lore books on topics easily found with google OR adult content. If you want a lorebook on those types of things don't ask.

Happy reading and Writing!
Note: Due to the nature of the book, there is very little 'story' but I have tried to break it up a bit with story to make it less of a straight info dump.

{Third person POV}

The air quickened its pace as dull booms echoed in the air. A mournful groan seemed to weave through the air as Doflamingo retreated. Surrounding him stood pieces of wild debris. He wore a frown of anger on his face as a trail of blood ran down his cheek.
He glared harshly at his opponent as sparks flew in the air between them. "[Sword draw!]" he roared as he pulled out his rapier from its scabbard, a ray of destruction flowed from its tip as wide gashes spread on the ground.
Lorean dodged to the side as he prepared his lean daggers, a cacophony of sparks rose into the air as he Sonido'd to the sword wielding Doflamingo. Rays of light were all that was seen as the duo exchanged attacks, sparks flew in the air as lore swung his blades toward his enemy's shoulder, a line of light followed the attack as it sought to pierce through Doflamingo. 
Doflamingo twirled the handle of his rapier trying to deflect the incoming dagger as threads rose to engulf the opponent's torso. Lore dodged the attack as he sweaved to the left in an attempt to dodge the incoming strings.
[Pentachromatic Strings!] Doflamingo said as he attacked with his free left hand, a line of strings seemed to rush toward lore aiming at his neck as it attempted to decapitate him. Lore cursed softly as he Sonido'd out of the way, before reappearing behind Doflamingo's back and attempting to stab him.
Doflamingo twisted around as he blocked the attack opting to meat it with the flourish of his rapier, before he aimed a lethal kick towards the waist of his evasive opponent, aiming to shatter lore's pelvic bone in an attempt to restrict his movement.
Lore ducked under the approaching kick as he aimed a stab at his opponent's right foot only to be stopped by a mesh of threads that catapulted him away from Doflamingo, before rushing at him in a mad dash to secure his person.
"[Dagger Arts: Meteor Fall!]" he roared as he threw his dagger that shone with a dangerous light. Doflamingo shuddered at the incoming attack as he tried to avoid the dagger propelled by unreal momentum. "[Sonido!]" Lore continued as he disappeared, reappearing right beside the torpedo-ing dagger and redirecting the lethal attack.
"[Thread Cocoon!]" Doflamingo thought as a collection of threads rose from his feet, forming a sturdy wall against the incoming attack entangling the dagger as it did so. Lore brought the remaining dagger toward his opponent's neck as he Sonido'd behind him.
The dagger gleamed in a cruel light as it begun to near Doflamingo's neck. Doflamingo twirled around with a sinister smile as he stabbed towards Lorean, his rapier gleaming with unearthly swiftness as it rushed towards Lorean's heart.
Lore rushed out of the way as a ray of light pierced through the remaining pavement, carving a path toward the heart of the town. Lore grabbed his entangled blade as he coating it with his Armament Haki and shearing the wall of thread and renewing his assault on Doflamingo.
A layer of black light enshrouded Lore as he coated his entire body before he rocketed at his enemy, huge cracks running through the ground as embedded foot marks were made where Lore stood only moments ago.
Doflamingo chuckled as he too coated his arms with haki before rushing straight at his opponent . Loud 'clangs' rung through the air as the winds slashed into a storm. At the eye of the storm fought the duo, exchanging attacks at extreme speeds, sparks flying into the storm as the duo fought.
Two daggers faced the swift attacks of the rapier, sometimes interrupted by the menace of threads and the occasional body part. Lore roared with vigor as he attacked Doflamingo aiming at his neck at all times.

A loud 'Clang' rang in the air as the duo split screeching to a halt a meter away from each other, long gashes ran through the ruined pavement, as the developed storm of wind died down.
Doflamingo chuckled darkly as he looked at Lore. "That all you got, kid? You got potential, why don't you join my crew, all you have to do is ditch those losers!" he said as he chuckled manically as he motioned to the downed Sorren and Fawkes, of who the latter had barely awoken as he rubbed his head.
"Fuffuf~ Why don't you think about it? You were gonna start a pirate crew weren't you?" he asked leeringly, surprising Lore. "You can join mine, you'll have loads of riches! all you have to do is kill those two, and swear loyalty to me!" He finished willing his Haoshaku around him, enveloping the entire port in the process. 
Lore looked at him condescendingly as he begun to chuckle. "You call that, Conqueror's Haki? I might not be as strong as you physically Doflamingo, but you cannot compare with me in HAKI!" he roared as his Haoshaku arose in combat to that of Doflamingo.
There was an ethereal feel to it as it seemed to shroud a half of Minnon. A tyrannical pressure seemed to enshroud Doflamingo forcing him to his knees. "You are a king? Then I am an Emperor!!" he continued as his Haoshaku seemed to solidify taking the form of a red Yukata. The disposition of a King!
Doflamingo kneeled there, his teeth gritting as he groaned in pain. The Port seemed to crack in protest as Lorean's intent seemed to put it under an immense invisible stress. Veins appeared on Doflamingo's temple, popping with a sickly green hew, forming a sharp contrast to his brown skin.
His white-framed shades seemed to crack under Lorean's prestige before eventually giving way and shattering to the ground. The aura seemed to have no intention of letting up as it constantly pressured the downed Doflamingo.
"Fuff..ffuf~ My, my. What pressure.." Doflamingo muttered through clenched teeth, as he forced his head up. His eyes steeled as he made it to his feet, the pressure seemed to begin to lift, being slowly pushed back as Doflamingo stood upright. His aura forming a small area around him, safe from the torrentious  and overbearing aura boasted by Lorean.
His pink cloak lay in ruins to his side and his pants hung limply on his legs, yet he stood, the prestige of a king should never be questioned, even so if it were to be an old crippled dyeing king, let alone someone as young as Doflamingo!
"Shall we start round two, oh young wannabe Emperor?!"

When our dear mc meets god, the only thing he could think of, was that God should not see his embarrassing life, especially not his fetishes. 

Follow along Gol D Lorean, as he adventures the high seas!

Ade walked quietly within the walls of the city belonging to Sunflower. In the front of him, the tribe member who was serving as his guide walked with an arrogant air that Ade could clearly see. 

"He does indeed have the right to be arrogant". 

Ade looked at the city before him and at the houses. In his mind, he remembered the houses made of wood and hides in his tribe. Compared to them....   no,  there was in fact no room for comparison. 

During the journey, Ade saw far too many members of Sunflower. The city was bustling with activity. Even the beast skins the men and women wore were of much better quality than Ade's. There were even a number of them who wore sack cloth that only the elder could wear in their tribe. Ade looked at his surroundings, then at the walls of the city far into the distance. He remembered seeing six other tribes, which were like Ondo tribe outside the city walls when he was still midair it was obvious that the citizens there did not have the right to live within the city permanently. They could only live outside. 

 On the way, Ade saw a lot of trade houses. The land which he walk on was not made out of dirt either. It was covered by smooth stones which were flat. When he stepped on it, the ground was hard. Ade who was used to soft soft terrain found it uncomfortable. Ade also saw several giant spears about hundreds of feet long hanging on the city wall. They gave off a savage aura. It made those who looked at them chills down their spines. 

"Are you done looking"? A piercing voice turned Ade's attention away from his surroundings. It was the guide from the sunflower tribe. He looked at Ade as he smiled with arrogance which had turned into a mocking smile.

 He was not laughing at Ade alone but jeering at the people who came from smaller places and had similar expressions of awe. 

"You can look around later. You'll be staying here for a while so,  you can wonder as much as you like anytime you want. I suggest you get out of your house at night. The night scenery in your tribe can't be compared with the likes of Sunflower ". 

"Follow me now. We can't have the Elder waiting for long ".  The tribe member patted Ade's shoulder, then turned around and walked forward even more quickly  

Ade followed in silence. 

Right in the center of the sunflower city within the altar, were rooms. The Elder of the Sunflower, The man in red who had reached the awakening realm was sitting in one of the rooms with his legs crossed. The Elder of the Oyo tribe, Lore was sitting across him calmly. 

Between them was a chess board, there was also a cup the size of a fist in each of their hands. There was hot steam coming from the cups, along with a nice fragrance spreading around the room 

"Lore, when you came back, you gave me this chess board and chess pieces , you even taught me how to play chess. You must have wanted to avoid from being lonely and also wanted someone to cure boredom. Then he lifted his head and smiled.
"This chess board came from the Hulu tribe.  I heard that an ancient from Hulu made it in the image of an item from land faraway.... It's a pity. I haven't touched this in years. Now I can't win against you anymore ".  The elder took a chess piece and placed it on a corner of the board as he spoke softly. 

"Lore, I have always admired you". The man in red sighed as he looked at Lore, who was looked old and wizened. Memories of when they were young appeared in his head. In his memories, the person before them had been so energetic and proud... Among those of the same age, there was no one who did not know  his name.... Yet, who would have thought the prodigy in the past would have become such a wizened old man.  "You should not have been born in Oyo  tribe..... If you had agreed to the elders promise and become his valiant, the elder of Sunflower would not be me, but you. 
"Besides you wouldn't have found your training to be so difficult. You should have reached the awakening realm long time before I did....  The elder even mentioned that you were the one who held the most promise to reach the the Abyss realm among all the people he's met in his life." 

 When he spoke of the Abyss realm, a bright light appeared in the man's eyes and there were filled with longing. 
Lore was silent. When he heard the mention of awakening realm, there was bitterness and nostalgia on his face.  

"If only you had agreed to the elders promise that year and took vio la  as your wife and joined Sunflower,  the elder would have used all the resources within to help you reach Abyss realm "...  The man in red smiled bitterly. 

"Se an, it's all in the past now ",  Lore  said slowly. 

"That's right,  it's all in the past now.... " when the man in red heard Lore calling his name, he shook his head and sighed.  "You were only willing to see me, your old friend this time because of the child who was standing beside you right? He should be the baby you brought back that year ",  Se an looked at Lore and spoke slowly. 

 "That's one of the reasons. " Lore raised his cup and blew at the beverage, then took a sip. 

"I won't hide from you. Indu tribe's Siba  will arrive at the awakening realm anytime now! Lore, if you ask me to kill him, then... " Se an hesitated for a moment, then be shook  his head.  I can't do that. If he manages to reach Awakening realm, it will be a great help to Sunflower. Even if you agree to my request all those years ago, I still won't do it. "

 "It's fine." The elder smiled slightly. He thought as much. Se an was not as friendly  as he seemed. They both knew more than anyone about their dispute. "You have your problems I understand. This is between me and him. It most come to an end eventually!  I came here today to make a trade with you! 

"Oh? go on." The Elder of Sunflower, Se an spoke slowly as a light flashed briefly in his eyes. The elder spoke softly. His voice was faint and only Se an could hear him. Once Se an heard it, his demeanor did not change. However, he closed his eyes and appeared to be deep in thought. The elder did not urge him. Instead, he took the cup and sipped his drink slowly. 

 "Elder, I've brought Ade here". 

"Send him in." Se an still kept his eyes closed. Foot steps gradually approached from afar amid the silence of the room.

Ade grew up dreaming about becoming an immortal even though he knew he had an unchangeable body which wasn't suitable for the immortal path. One day he came across an old ring with ancient engravings which changed his destiny forever. That's  how his  own path started to be the greatest. But would he be satisfied with leaving everything  in fate's hands?

Matalim na tumingin si Todd kay Finn at naiinis na sumigaw, "Huwag kang masyadong mayabang Finn! Ano naman kung natalo mo ako? Bakit ako, na isang miyembro ng Noble Clan ay luluhod sa isang gaya mong nagmula lang sa isang mahinang angkan?" 

"Hindi ka kwalipikado upang ako'y lumuhod sa'yo!" nahihirapan mang tumayo ng ayos ay malakas niya pa ring isinigaw ang mga salitang 'to.

Lahat ay tinitigan si Todd nang may pangungutyang tingin. Hinahamak nila ang ganitong uri ng adventurer dahil hindi ito marunong sumunod sa usapan. Isa pa, hindi siya marunong tumanggap nang pagkatalo kaya naman ang tingin nila kay Todd ay isang malaking kahihiyan. Maging si Ashe at ang mga Elders ay malamig siyang binigyan ng tingin.

Naramdaman naman ni Todd ang lahat ng tingin mula sa mga adventurers na nasa paligid niya at hindi niya mapigilang mailang at mamula ng dahil sa kahihiyan.

"Ibig sabihin ba ay ayaw mong sundin ang napagkasunduan? Hmph. Wala akong pakialam kung ganoon na nga." malamig na bigkas ni Finn.

Sa ika-limampung baitang naman, hindi maipinta ang hitsura ni Lore dahil sa pinaggagagawa ni Todd. Iniangat niya ang kaniyang paningin at matalim na tiningnan si Todd.

"Ashe, Elders at Sect Master Noah. Ipagpaumanhin niyo po ang kamangmangan ni Todd." magalang na wika ni Lore habang nakatingin sa direksyon ng mga Elders. Muli niyang ibinaling ang kaniyang paningin kay Todd at malakas na sumigaw, "Todd! Dahil ikaw ay natalo sa inyong pustahan, harapin mo ang kaparusahan mo. Talagang ipinapahiya mo ang ating angkan!"

Namutla si Todd nang marinig ang sigaw ni Lore. Hindi niya inaasahang magagalit ng ganito si Lore, "Pero pinsan isang malaking kahihiyan ang lumuhod ako sa kagaya niya..."

"Manahimik ka! Huwag mo akong matawag-tawag na pinsan. Isa pa, hindi pa ba isang malaking kahihiyan ang inaasal mo? Dinadagdagan mo lang ang kahihiyang maidudulot nito sa ating angkan!" namumula sa galit na putol ni Lore kay Todd.

'Basura! Bakit ba ako nagkapinsan na ganito?! Hindi man lang siya umubra sa isang 9th Level Gold Rank!' sa isip ni Lore.

"Pero..."

"Wala ng pero-pero, tanggapin mo ang iyong pagkatalo at humingi ka ng kapatawaran kay Finn Doria! Sa oras na umabot ang pangyayaring ito sa pamunuan ng ating angkan, siguradong hindi ka makakaligtas sa matinding kaparusahan." muling pagputol ni Lore sa sasabihin ni Todd.

Napatungo si Todd ng marinig niya ang sinabi ni Lore. Kung mayroon mang kinatatakutan si Todd sa mundong ito, yun ay ang pamunuan ng kaniyang angkan. Ito ay dahil napakahigpit at napakatindi ng kanilang pamamalakad sa Wind Lightning Family.

Kahit na ayaw ni Todd na tanggapin ang katotohanan, wala siyang nagawa kung hindi ang lumuhod sa direksyon ni Finn, matalim niya itong tinitigan at nagwika, "Naiintindihan ko ang aking pagkakamali, humihingi ako ng kapatawaran Finn Doria!"

Ang kaniyang puso ay puno ng pagkasuklam kay Finn dahil iniisip niyang si Finn ang dahilan kung bakit nasa ganito siyang sitwasyon.

"Mn. Maliit na bagay." nakangiting wika ni Finn.

Natigilan naman ang lahat ng nasa paligid ng sabihin ni Finn ang mga salitang ito.

"Hmph. Nakakairita talaga ang bawat kilos at mga salitang sinasabi niya!" naiinis na wika ni Ashe sa kaniyang sarili.

Kahit ang pamunuan ng Cloud Soaring Sect ay hindi mapigilang mapailing dahil kay Finn. Hindi talaga nila maintindihan ang binatilyong ito.

Kinuyom ni Todd ang kaniyang kamao at agad-agad na tumayo. Naglakad siya patungo sa nagkukumpulang mga Adventurers at nagtago sa kahihiyang natanggap niya. Sa ngayon, sagad sa buto na ang kaniyang galit kay Finn.

Matapos ang pangyayaring iyon, muling nagpatuloy ang pagsusukat ng talento. Hinabol din ni Finn ang nasa panglabing apat na puwesto at maya't mayang sinundan ito. Gaya ni Todd nakaramdam din ito ng inis ngunit sa huli, nang makatapak na siya sa ika-tatlumpu't dalawang baitang ay sumuko na rin siya dahil napansin niyang wala siyang pag-asang makipagtunggali kay Finn.

Hindi na rin nagpatuloy si Finn sa pag-akyat kahit na wala naman siyang nararamdamang puwersa, sa halip ay taimtim at tahimik lang siyang umupo sa ika-tatlumpu't tatlong baitang.

Nagtaka naman ang karamihan sa kilos ni Finn, malinaw naman na kaya niya pang umabante ngunit bakit siya huminto sa pag-akyat?

"Finn Doria, malinaw naman na hindi pa 'yan ang iyong limitasyon. Bakit hindi ka umakyat ng mas mataas pa?" nagtatakang tanong ni Ashe.

Habang si Lore naman na nasa hindi kalayuan ay napangiwi. Palagi siyang gumagawa ng paraan mapansin lang ni Ashe ngunit lagi siyang isinasantabi ng dalaga. Hindi niya rin alam kung bakit parang interesado si Ashe kay Finn. Dahil dito hindi niya mapigilang makaramdam ng inis at inggit sa binatilyo.

Pilit namang ngumiti si Finn sa dalaga at marahang nagwika, "Nagbibiro ka ata Binibining Ashe, hindi ko na maigalaw ang aking mga paa dahil sa sobrang puwersang  pumipigil sa akin sa pag-akyat. Narating ko lang ang baitang na ito dahil sa suwerte."

Nagulantang naman ang iba sa sinabi ni Finn. Hindi na sila tatlong taong gulang kaya naman sino ang maloloko ni Finn sa lugar na ito? Malinaw namang kayang-kaya niya pang umakyat ngunit bakit sinasabi niyang hindi na niya maigalaw ang kaniyang mga paa.

Syempre ay may rason si Finn tungkol sa bagay na ito. Ito ay dahil ayaw niyang maka-akit ng sobrang atensyon upang hindi siya makaakit ng gulo. 

"Hmph. Niloloko mo ba ako? Kahit sino ay hindi maniniwala sa mga sinasabi mo." naiinis na wika ni Ashe.

'Bakit ba ako nalang lagi ang nakikita ng babaeng 'to?!' sa isip ni Finn.

Ngunit syempre, hindi niya ito sinabi sa halip ay mapait siyang ngumiti at muling nagwika, "Wala namang magbabago kung aakyat pa ako. Pasok na ako sa susunod na kompetisyon at masaya na ako roon."

Habang pinagmamasdan ng mga Elders at ni Sect Master Noah ang diskusyon sa pagitan ng dalawa, hindi nila mapigilang mapailing.

"Ang kompetisyong ito ay upang maipakita ang buong kakayahan ng bawat isa sa atin. Hindi sapat na masaya ka lang na nakapasok ka sa susunod na kompetisyon. Ngayon, maaari bang umakyat ka at ipakita mo sa amin kung hanggang saan ang maabot mo?" wika ni Ashe.

Gustong-gustong malaman ni Ashe kung hanggang saan ang kakayahan ni Finn. Kahit na kumbinsido na siya na hindi pangkaraniwan ang binatilyong ito, hindi pa rin siya masaya na masyadong masikreto ito.

Mapagmataas siya at mayabang kaya naman hindi siya mapakali nang mapansing hindi man lang nahihirapan si Finn sa pag-akyat. Simula pagkabata pa lang niya ay iniisip niya ng napakatalentado niya at tanging mabibilang lang sa kaniyang kamay ang maikukumpara sa kaniya. Pero habang pinagmamasdan ang mga kilos ni Finn, pakiramdam niya ay hindi niya mabasa ang binatang ito.

"Ipagpaumanhin mo Binibining Ashe ngunit sapat na sa akin ang puwestong ito." pilit-ngiting wika ni Finn.

Ang tanging layunin lang naman ni Finn ay makuha ang proteksyon para sa kaniyang angkan. Hindi pa siya handang ipakita ang totoo niyang kakayahan, hindi pa ngayon. Pero sa oras na ipakita niya na ang kaniyang totoong kakayahan, yun ang araw ng kaniyang paghihiganti sa Nine Ice Family at Black Tiger Family. 

Nang makitang wala talagang balak na umakyat pa si Finn, napabuntong-hininga nalang si Ashe. Dahil hindi niya naman mapipilit ang binatilyo, hindi na siya muling nagsalita pa.

Dahil wala nang nangyayaring pagbabago sa mga puwesto, inanunsyo na ni Elder Marcus ang mga nagkamit ng labing apat na puwesto.

Ang nakakuha ng unang puwesto ay si Ashe samantalang pangalawa naman si Lore. Nasa pangpitong puwesto naman si Leo habang si Finn naman ang nakakuha ng kahuli-hulihang puwesto.

Habang dahan-dahang bumababa ang mga nakakuha ng puwesto, lahat ng bumagsak ay tinitigan sila ng may halong inggit at paghanga, lalong-lalo na kay Finn.

Wala pang kalahating taon mula ng makapasok siya sa Core Division ngunit ang taas na agad ng naabot niya. Matagal ng nasa Core Division ang karamihan sa mga core members at hindi nila matanggap na matatalo sila sa isang baguhan lamang. Gayunpaman, wala silang magagawa dahil hindi sila kasing talentado ng binatilyong ito. Tanging kapalaran at sarili lang nila ang maaari nilang sisihin sa pangyayaring ito.

"Finn, ako'y nagagalak dahil pareho tayong nakapasok sa susunod na kompetisyon." nakangiti at masayang wika ni Leo ng makalapit siya sa binatilyo.

"Ako rin." nakangiti namang tugon ni Finn.

Nahinto naman sa pag-uusap ang dalawa ng biglang magsalitang muli si Sect Master Noah, "Binabati ko kayong labing apat sa pagpasa niyo sa unang pagsubok. At ngayon na tapos na ang unang pagsubok, magsisimula na ang totoo at pinakamalagang parte ng kompetisyon at yun ay ang aktwal na paglalaban!"

Napuno naman nang pagkagalak ang labing-isang nakapasa. Maliban kay Ashe, Lore at Finn, bawat isa sa kanila ay umaasang makakapasa at mapipili sila upang lumahok sa Seven Great Faction Games. 

Si Ashe at Lore ay tiwalang makakakuha sila ng puwesto kaya naman hindi na nila masyadong binibigyang halaga ang kompetisyong ito. Maging si Finn ay ganoon rin ang iniisip, ito ay dahil hindi naman siya isang totoong 9th Level Gold Rank at patuloy pa ring itinatago ng kaniyang Concealing Ring ang totoo niyang antas ng lakas.

"Makinig kayo dahil ipapaliwanag ko ang patakaran sa ikalawang pagsubok." marahang wika ni Sect Master Noah. Inilibot niya ang kaniyang paningin sa labing-apat at muling nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita, "Sa pagsubok na ito, sa oras na manalo kayo ng dalawang laban, awtomatiko na kayong makakakuha ng isa sa pitong puwesto. Maaari niyo lang matalo ang inyong kalaban kung sakaling mahuhulog sila sa entablado, boluntaryo silang susuko o kaya naman ay hindi na nila kayang lumaban. Ang pagkain ng Recovery Pill o kahit anong Forbidden Pill ay mahigpit na ipinagbabawal. Pero maaari kayong gumamit ng armament. Mahigpit ding ipanagbabawal ang pagpatay sa katunggali."

Nang marinig ni Finn ang salitang 'Forbidden Pill' mayroon siyang naalala sa kaniyang isipan. Ayon sa alaala ni Kurt Bautista, ang Forbidden Pill ay isang uri ng pill na pansamantalang nakapagpapataas ng antas ng isang Adventurer. Ipinagbabawal ito dahil sa oras na mawala ang epekto ng pill na ito, magkakaroon ng masamang epekto sa katawan ng kumain ng ganitong uri ng pill. Kaya naman hindi pinapayagan ang pagkain ng ganitong uri ng pill sa mga kompetisyon at ginagamit lang ito sa totoong labanan kung saan buhay na ang nakataya.

"Lumapit kayo sa akin upang bunutin ang inyong numero. Kung sino ang makakapareho niyong numero ay iyon ang makakalaban niyo." seryosong wika ni Sect Master Noah.

Agad namang lumapit ang labing apat habang nagsusukatan ng tingin. Karamihan sa kanila ay ipinagdadasal na sana ay hindi nila mapili ang numerong makukuha nina Ashe at Lore.

Isa-isa silang kumuha ng kani-kanilang numero.

"Ipakita niyo sa akin ang inyong mga numerong nabunot."

Agad namang ipinakita ng labing apat ang kanilang nabunot na numero at nang silipin nila ang numero ng kanilang mga kalahok, mayroong ilan na hindi maipinta ang mukha.

Mayroon din namang nag-iisang masaya at iyon ay walang iba kung hindi ang nakabunot kay Finn.

Siya si Roy Lilytel, miyembro rin ng Wind Lightning Family. Gayunpaman wala siyang relasyon kay Lore at Todd. Siya rin ang nasa ika-labing dalawang puwesto sa pagsukat ng talento.

'Kahit na talentado ka, ano naman? Isa ka pa ring 9th Level Gold Rank at isa akong 2rd Level Scarlet Gold Rank. Hindi ako naniniwalang matatalo mo ako' ngisi ni Roy habang iniisip ang mga bagay na ito.

Nakita naman nila ang mga numero at napansin nila ang makakalaban ni Finn.

"Hindi ba't si Roy Lilytel 'yon? Kahit na 2nd Level Scarlet Gold Rank lang siya, hindi maitatangging isa siya sa pinakamabilis na Adventurer sa mga core members." 

"Mukhang walang pag-asang manalo si Finn sa labang ito."

"Kahit naman sinong makatunggali ni Finn ay hindi siya mananalo. Talentado nga siya pero hindi maikakailang isa lang siyang9th Level Gold Rank."

Kaniya-kaniyang diskusyon ang bawat adventurers sa paligid. Si Finn ang pinaka-nakapukaw ng kanilang atensyon dahil siya lang ang nag-iisang Gold Rank sa mga ito. 

"Makinig kayo, mayroon tayong dalawang entablado kaya naman magkakaroon ng dalawang laban." 

"Unang entablado, Ashe Vermillion laban kay Ezekias Sieve!"

"Pangalawang entablado, Roy Lilytel laban kay Finn Doria!"

--

Finn Doria. Isang binatang lumaki sa isang ordinaryong angkan. Dahil sa kahirapan at kababaan ng posisyon ng kanyang kinabibilangang angkan sa lipunan, puntirya sila ng mga mapang-abusong individwal. 

Dahil sa sitwasyong ito, isang pangarap ang namuo sa puso't isipan ng binata. Kailangan niyang protektahan ang kanyang angkan mula sa mundo kung saan ang malalakas ang lubos na iginagalang at kinatatakutan habang ang mahihina naman ay inaalipusta at inaalipin.

The day when the banquet was held was also the deadline to register for the
Great Competition of Three Realms.
During these five days, eight more young Venerables from the Realm of Nine
Heavens joined them.
However, Jiang Chen hadn't seen Ning Haotian yet. It seemed the latter didn't
have to stay at the Holy Martial Arts Yard.
The eight newcomers were very cold to Jiang Chen, not interested in making
friends with him.
Because those from the Realm of Milky had spread the word that Jiang Chen
would be tackled in the banquet.
Those who were going to elect Jiang Chen as their leader hesitated. Some of
them wanted to distant themselves from him.
But they didn't have the courage to do it, since Jiang Chen had defeated Song
Ji and so on.
Jiang Chen didn't think it a big deal. He had been used to the complication of
human beings. He focused on the crystal of lore of wind wholeheartedly.
He had three crystals in all. The lore of wind in each of them were
consumptive. No matter whether practicers comprehended anything from
them, the crystals would break once the lore of wind was used up.
In other words, these were consumptive practicing resources, and they were
very expensive.
The Spiritual Venerable of the Shangguans embedded the crystals in the
compartment. I guess he did it to make them more efficient. Jiang Chen
thought to himself.
He could do the same, but he didn't think it necessary, since a person without
enough talent wouldn't improve anyway, however slowly the lore of wind
contained in the crystals flew away.
Most importantly, these crystals were like something he found on the street by
accident, which he didn't cherish so much.
He was holding one crystal in either of his hands. The energy in his Holy Sea
was slowly flowing into the crystals.
The transparent crystals emitted a bright white light right away. A howling
wind started in the room, as if a sword was being brandished in the air.
The wind cut like a knife. It blew towards him cruelly. His clothes were torn
open right away.
Jiang Chen looked painful. The force of thunder in his body reacted strongly.
Electric arcs started to jump on his skin.
Then he stopped manipulating the force of thunder and started to make an
effort to comprehend the lore contained in the wind.
The wind edges were emotionless. Jiang Chen got hurt soon. He was covered
all over with cuts and bruises, and couldn't stop bleeding.
But this process was inevitable. The wind edges wouldn't be absorbed by his
body, but the lore of wind would reveal in this process.
Jiang Chen started to resist the attack of the wind edges when he had figured
out the law of it.
Soon, he started to try to control the wind the crystals had created.
It was difficult. He didn't get any progress until he had used up two crystals of
lore of wind.
He treated his injuries and wiped off the blood. Then he picked up the last
crystal of lore he had.
He didn't expect to completely comprehend the lore, but just wanted to do as
best as he could.
To his surprise, he had some unexpected gains.
After achieving the great doctrine of wind, he hadn't had any further progress
for a long time. Thanks to the last two crystals of lore, he seemed to have had
some breakthrough.
When the last crystal had worked, he felt like an unstoppable flood had
happened.
Jiang Chen floated in the air, whirling in the wind.
The wind edges formed some walls of wind, half transparent, swirling around
Jiang Chen at high speed.
What's more, in this process, thunders and flames also emerged. They
seamlessly merged with these walls of wind.
In the end, the three energies - wind, electricity and fire - merged perfectly.
When Jiang Chen opened his palms, the three energies transformed into two
lotuses in them.
Jiang Chen exhaled a long breath. As he slowly opened his eyes, the vision in
the room disappeared. The two lotuses were the only things left.
I didn't comprehend the lore of wind completely, but gained this pleasant
surprise.
Jiang Chen smiled to himself, full of joy.
The merge of fire, wind and electricity was a sign of the great integration of
martial arts techniques. It was what practicers would like to spend their entire
lives looking after.
It was a great thing that such a sign occurred when he was in the preliminary
stage of Martial Venerable.
"In this way, the Ultimate Sword Method will as lethal as the Sword Method of
Ksana."
The Ultimate Sword Method, originated from the Ultimate Knife Method, was a
brand new sword method that Jiang Chen created.
It might not be famous, but was the most suitable for Jiang Chen.
If he used the Redcloud Sword and the black knife together with the three
energies, and at the same time exerted the Ultimate Sword Method, his rival
would have no way to resist.
"Perfect."
Jiang Chen found it had been dark outside when he looked out of the window.
That meant the banquet had begun. It was time to go out.
The theme of this night's banquet was lights, which was to say, it was a
banquet of lights.
All of the big forces and all of the young Venerables who would take part in
the Great Competition of Three Realms would attend it.
The banquet appeared to be a warm-up for the competitions in the small
world, to give the young Venerables from the Realm of Nine Heavens and the
Realm of Milky a chance to adapt to the upcoming matches.
But everyone knew the big forces would pick some excellent candidates from
the Realm of Milky and the Realm of Nine Heavens in the banquet.
Jiang Chen saw his fellows from the Realm of Nine Heavens, about to attend
the banquet together, as soon as he walked out of his room.
They looked odd when they had seen Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, are you going?"
A woman who had expressed her admiration for Jiang Chen asked.
Jiang Chen remembered her name was Zhang Li. He found the doubt on her
face funny. He said, "Yeah, but you don't have to go with me."
The attitude they showed a few days ago was still very vivid before his eyes.
However, just because some people would aim at him in the banquet, they
started to distance themselves from him.
Jiang Chen had had too many similar experiences. He had been used to it.
Mu Kun strode out of his room. He said to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, we
elected you as our leader to suffer hardship together, not just to ask you to
solve problems for us. We'll be with you."
However, only few people responded.
&quot;You!" Mu Kun was speechless.
"Come on. We didn't elect him as our leader at all."
"Yeah. He should resolve his problem by himself."
"Didn't he just say he would go alone?"
Especially the eight people who had come most recently, they didn't hold any
respect for Jiang Chen at all.
"Hahahaha, Jiang Chen, you never expected such things to happen to you,
did you?"
Suddenly, a familiar laugh came. Then a familiar figure came into Jiang
Chen's sight.
It was a tall youngster in a neat outfit. Wearing a cape and a rose gold crown
on his head, he looked pretty mighty.
"Ning Haotian."
Jiang Chen showed a meaningful smile, as if he had been expecting this guy
for a long time.
"Tonight's banquet will be full of traps. I guess you should know how important
it is. I'm Ning Haotian, from the Black Dragon City of the Realm of Nine
Heavens."
Ning Haotian threw him a glance. Also smiling, he looked complacent. He said
loudly, "Now I'm a major general of the second rank of the Dragon Rebel
Dynasty!"
"I don't need any forces to pick me. On the contrary, I can help you instead."
"If you want, you can go with me, so that we can fight for the dignity of the
Realm of Nine Heavens together."
Those from the Realm of Nine Heavens were piqued with interest. They were
very excited. They had never imagined a man from the Realm of Nine
Heavens could go so far in the Realm of True Force.
"Apprentice Brother Ning, you're great. It would be the best if we can go with
you," Zhang Li said loudly in an exaggerated way. She stood behind him right
away.
"Not at all. We're fellows from the Realm of Nine Heavens."
Ning Haotian said politely, throwing Jiang Chen a glance complacently at the
same time.
"Not all toy boys can be as successful as you. You must have some wonderful
skills," Jiang Chen said, pretending to be serious.


The war of gods left the earth no winners, but a broken world.
Thousands of years later, the soul of the God of war created a new world from the ruins.
Nine reincarnations for the same one belief.
A youngster looked up at the starlit sky with his sword in hand.
Monsters, demons, evil persons…Whoever had the nerve to damage this world would end up dying.
To see how a youngster got onto the top of the world little by little, inherited the soul of the God of war, and defend his own world!
