This is a collection of mini stories that aren’t always consistent when read in order of publishing. 
 
   Each Short is one chapter long unless readers demand a continuation of the story or I decide I want to continue it.

    If you find that you like the mini chapter or story then let me know and I might add a continuation chapter to continue it on a later date.

    If you need any clarification on something that wasn’t covered in the chapter long mini story, then leave a chapter comments with your query concerning something or someone mentioned in the short.

   This will also be posted as an Auxiliary Chapter in the Beginning of the book for all future readers.

"Really? You want me in charge?"

"Mhm! I think you would make a great leader!"

"Ehhh, that's alot of responsibility though."

Just outside the village, Hanako and I sat underneath the shade of a tree. I was relaxing with a strand of grass in my mouth as Leine and Lamp loaded things into the back of our red and white carriage.

It was horse driven. The actual carriage itself wasn't small by any means, if I had to guess it could fit a good seven or eight people if you tried. And, with at least one person having to stay outside in order to steer the horses, there would be tons of room inside for the remaining three to fool around. 

"It was your idea to do this in the first place," I said, "that makes you the founder of this party. I just thought that meant you were going to be in charge."

Hanako smoothed down her skirt. "But during our fight, you were giving all sorts of orders. Kinda like a ship captain."

"I told you what to do once."

"And it was really convincing! You also got us two new friends to travel with us in no time at all." 

"Still, you sure you want to give up your leadership so soon? T-technically you could order me to do whatever you want."

"Hm," Hanako said, leaning her head on my shoulder, "anything, huh?"

"There would be boundaries of course but..yeah. Anything specific you want?"

She came closer and blew on my ear, causing me to feel hot. "I got one thing in mind."

"You..do, huh?"

"The one thing," she whispered as softly as possible, "the one and only thing I'm going to do as leader is.."

"Y-yeah?"

"Give my spot to you! You really deserve it," Hanako said, giving me a quick peck on the cheek.

"You..." I pinched the bridge of my nose in an attempt to calm myself down.  "Geez! Fine, I'll be the best leader ever then!" 

"Yay!"

Kirara emerged from behind the tree with her arms crossed. "If anything, I should take charge since I'm the only one who knows where we're going," she said, pulling a small square out of her skirt pocket. The sun shining off of her hairpins, Kirara held the folded paper between her fingers as she came to a full stop in front of us.

"How much did you hear?" I asked.

She smirked. "Just enough. You don't need to worry though, I have no intentions of leading anything any time soon."

"Wait a minute," I said, stroking my chin. "The leader gets to choose where he sits, right?"

"I guess but I'm not sure why that matters at all."

I got up and walked towards our carriage. Just before I got there, Lamp immediately dropped whatever she was holding and ran to the door. 

"Let..me get... that.. for you," she said, curtsying as she opened it for me. She was clearly out of breath.

I put my hands in front of me. "Um, thanks but I'm not getting in." 

Lamp raised an eyebrow at me as I climbed to the top of the carriage and sat right in the middle, cross-legged. "Chris-sama, what are you doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm choosing my spot for our adventure."

"Can I join you up there?"

I waved my hand dismissively. "No can do, Lamp. This is the leader's spot so only I can sit up here," I said as a devilish smile curled onto my lips, "speaking of spots..." I put my fingertips together and cupped my hands as I called out to the two girls near the tree. "Hanako-san, if I'm leader then I officially make you my second in command! I-it just so happens that the official spot for that position is on my lap!"

"Really?! How lucky for me," Hanako said, dusting herself off and strolling over. I grabbed her hand and helped her get on top of the carriage. Once we both sat down, I found myself in my own personal heaven!

Wrapping my hands around her waist, I buried my face into Hanako's hair. Even if her bun or hairpin got in the way sometimes, not even the softest, most delicate silk could have compared what her hair felt like. I could've, without a doubt in my mind, fallen asleep using all her fluff as an impromptu pillow.

"Smooth as ever, aren't we, Chris?" Kirara asked, whacking the carriage with her staff.

"I feel like I should be telling you to shut up or something but I'm too immersed in this fluffy paradise to really be sure."

"Hopefully this is a regular thing for the second in command," Hanako said, briefly closing her eyes in bliss. 

"You can bet on that."

Lamp's breathing turned ragged as she stared at the two of us. "Let's all just wait for a second. I think we should hold a vote so that things are fair—"

"Absolutely not," I replied instantly.

After chucking the last bag into back, Leine held a hand to her mouth as she snickered. "You know, you four aren't easing my nerves at all."

"We'll be fine Leine-san." Kirara pulled her off to the side and began to whisper, "at least I will. I'll try my best to babysit the other three."

"I heard that," I said, resting my head on top of Hanako's. "I'll have you know that we can defend ourselves just fine now. Any monsters who come in my and Hanako-san's way won't know what hit them!"

"Yeah! Me and Chris are unstoppable together!" Hanako added.

"As we speak we're coming up with all sorts of techniques so that we can keep everyone safe."

Leine closed her eyes and put a hand to her face. "Oh my, are you now? Your big sister would like to see some of these techniques, how about one last spar before you leave?"

I broke out into a cold sweat at the thought of being pummeled by her again. Rubbing the back of my head, I tried my best to nonchalantly turn her down. "Ah. Well, we could do that but I think we should get going, right guys?"

"I'm in no rush," Kirara said. "Don't you wanna see them go at it again, Lamp?"

"Of course I do. Show us your new moves, you two! One last fight won't hurt anyone."

Wrong, it would hurt me and I didn't want that. Faking a yawn, I said, "I'm feeling a bit tired so I don't think I can really fight like this."

"I'm only joking around, dear. You need all your strength for your journey ahead of you, don't you?" Leine said, giving me a wink.

"O-of course! Who knows what we could meet on our way to..."

Kirara rolled her eyes. "Estermere."

"Yes, yes. Estermeir. That place."

Kirara and Lamp went to the front and sat down on wooden seats. While I personally didn't agree with this, Lamp would be acting as a coachman with Kirara looking over her. This was to make sure she didn't do anything strange.

Leine's expression darkened. "Are..none of you going to be sitting inside the carriage? Your big sister paid alot for this, you know."

"This is the leader's spot," I said bluntly. Hanako nodded, twice. 

"I can't, Leine. Chris-sama entrusted me with the task of getting us to our destination!" Lamp said, petting the back of one of the horses. "Muehehe..five days on the road with creamates."

"Eh, I did?"

Kirara jerked her head in my direction. "Yes. Yes, you did."

"I-I just remembered...right."

"I can't really use the back much either," Kirara said, putting an arm around Lamp who was still drooling, "I gotta make sure this little weirdo doesn't do anything."

"All my savings..down the drain..if I knew this was the case, I would've went with something smaller," Leine whined. "Please find a way to use the extra space..pretty pretty please."

Kirara flailed her arms in an attempt to calm her down. "We will, we will! I'm sure we can use it as a mini infirmary for Hanakoizumi-san or something!"

"Infirmary?" Hanako said, rubbing her thumb across the back of my palm.

"She thinks you'll get hurt again," I said.

"Hey, that's not true! Everything'll go just fine!"

I shot Kirara a quick glance and smirked. "Yeah, Kirara. Everything'll go just fine."

"We'll be using it for you too. Something tells me that I won't have wait very long for that," she said without skipping a beat.

The horses began to trot forward as my hold on Hanako tightened. She responded with a giggle, taking in the atmosphere in front of us. A dirt road that was paved for miles upon miles, the smell of the freshly cut, dark green grass that surrounded it, and an overwhelming feeling of childish glee. To Lamp and Kirara, this may have been nothing more than just another outing but to the two of us, that couldn't have been any further than the truth.

"Onee-chan!" I yelled. She stood with her hands folded as I waved to get her attention. "The next time you see me, I'll officially be an adventurer! Just you wait until our next spar, you won't know what hit you! Probably."

Kirara gripped her skirt before shooting up. One leg bent on the bench she was sitting on, she used both hands to call out to Leine. "Me too! I'll become an adventurer and make you proud!"

"Bye, bye Leine-chan," Hanako cheered.

Leine calmly waved back at us. "Be safe on your trip," she said, "once you get your licenses, I got something special planned for you four so please hurry back soon! You wouldn't want to make your big sister worry, would you?"

Taking our first steps outside of Kirara's village—our first adventure was finally underway!

-



-

The ride was bumpy. Every now and then the carriage would hit a rock, throwing Hanako and I upwards slightly. Maybe sitting inside would have been the smarter thing to do but there was no way that I was missing out on the beautiful scenery in front of me. That being Hanako's precious orange locks, of course.

"Is it really that soft?" she asked. I hummed in agreement. "You really are like a baby sometimes, it's adorable."

"Yeah, yeah." I took a break from my fluffy utopia and stared ahead of me. Still nothing but dirt road. Resting my chin on top of Hanako's head something caught my attention.

Unlike Kirara who leaned backward, Lamp had her eyes on the road with her back completely straight. In between her and where the carriage started was the pink and white book. 

"Hanako-san, can you get that for me," I said, pointing at it. She immediately snatched the book from between her. A loud, metallic thud could be heard as Lamp fell back and smacked her head, followed by soft whimpering.

"Hanako-sama, Chris-sama, you could have made me crash! Behave yourselves," Lamp said, caressing herself.

"Crash on what exactly?" I asked. It wasn't like we were in the most crowded of places. "Sorry, though. I thought you were paying attention."

"Didn't mean to hurt you," Hanako said, clapping her hands together like she was praying to a statue. "Kirara-chan, hurry! She needs you to heal her!"

"No," she replied.

"Huh? Why not!"

Lamp sniffed. "It's fine, just be more careful next time."

"Honestly now, what is it with this thing," I said, turning the book around and inspecting it. "It keeps popping up everywhere."

Now that I got a good look at it, I could say that the cover was a little more detailed than I first thought. Alot of it was white space. No title. No cover illustration. But, right in the middle of three layers of circles was a star. Four golden crosses, the same design that was on Lamp's dress, extended through both the first and second layers and touched the pink outer parts of the book.

"I've seen a few times too. I thought it just belonged to Leine-chan," Hanako said.

"No way it would be hers. Senpai was reading it at her place, maybe we packed some of her stuff on here by mistake."

"You think so? I did see Polka-chan with it a few times. She was using it as a stool so her pants wouldn't get all sandy."

Lamp slammed her hands on top of the carriage, startling us both. "She did what?!"

"So much for safely getting us to our destination," Kirara grumbled as she took over as coachman.

"It belongs to me!" Lamp said, swiping the book from me and dusting it off with her hand. After a few good pats and a blow for good measure, she angrily shook her fist at the sky. "Polka...just you wait until we come home, I'll request a bunch of custom weapons and triple your workload."

"You're just giving her more money then, aren't you?" I asked.

Hanako carefully crawled forward before sitting on her knees. "What's it about Lamp-chan? It must be a really interesting book for you to bring it with you everywhere."

"Well, yeah... It's the most fascinating, most amazing book in the world!" Lamp's flushed face squished and rubbed against the book. "I've cared for and cherished this copy of the scriptures ever since I was a little girl. Special doesn't even begin to explain this." Hanako and I leaned forward on our hands and knees as she flipped to a new page. Much to my surprise, it was completely blank with no words to be seen.

"There's..nothing there," I said.

"Wrong, there's nothing there. Yet!" she replied, holding the book to the sun. The crosses shined as she continued in a somber yet determined tone. Seeing this side of Lamp was something I wasn't used to yet. "Constantly updating with tales about creamates that fill me with uttermost joy, this copy of the scriptures never runs out of pages. Someone who's really important to me gave it as a gift so as far as I know, it's one of a kind."

I gasped before shakily turning to Hanako. "Do my ears deceive me? I didn't think someone as perverted as Lamp would have a b-boyfriend."

"What?! No, you got the wrong idea!"

"Or girlfriend," Hanako said.

Lamp covered her blushing face with her book. "I...don't have a lover. All my affection goes towards the creamates and all their greatness." Completely straight-faced she turned around and winked. "Oh, and you too, Kirara."

"I-is that so..." Kirara said, keeping her eyes on the road.

Now that she was in control of the horses, it was much easier to stay on top of the carriage. About half an hour had passed when the grass that was on both sides of us got significantly shorter. 

"Stop the carriage," I said, sternly. My eyes had found a new target.

Kirara raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry?"

Crouching on one knee and ready to jump, I repeated myself cheerily. "Let's stop for a sec, ok? There's no way I'm missing out on seeing one of these things up close."

Kirara hesitantly looked to her right. A blue, gelatinous blob was happily hopping around on its lonesome. It was circular in shape and jiggled each time it hit the ground. "The slime? You'll see plenty of them later. Let's just keep moving forward for no—"

"Lamp. Stop the carriage."

Perking up as if my words acted as a remote control, she saluted me. With a "right away, Chris-sama!" Lamp shoved Kirara to the side, forcing her back to her original spot. The carriage came to a full stop as she used all her strength to pull on the leash.

I hopped off and activated [Shroud]. It acted much differently than in the fight against the stone giant. Smaller, more controlled flames flickered and popped around my body, acting more like sudden bursts of lightning than fire. 

The change was sudden, but a welcome one for sure. I would gladly take this over my fire exploding outwards, setting everything nearby ablaze. This was much more environmentally friendly, which was nice and all but I still couldn't help but ask why. My strength hadn't gone down since then, at least, I think it didn't. That sort of thing is always hard to figure out.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Kirara said. 

I ignored her. They were just slimes after all. The same slimes you'd see at the beginning of any RPG.  The same slimes who, once you're done with the main game and head back to the starting area, easily die in one hit. Not to say that I'm anywhere near that level or anything, that would be wrong. In this case, I would definitely still be in the tutorial. Still, despite this, I'm definitely sure that I could beat a slime.

I crouched down and poked it a few times. Well, I say poked but my finger went through each time I touched the thing. It had no solid form whatsoever. 

"How's it feel, Chris?" Hanako asked.

"Gross." My shoulders sank as I answered. "It's like running my hand through watery jello. Geez, this is no fun...I can't even hold it. They always looked like they'd be really soft too... Ah, well I guess it doesn't matter anymore," I said, raising my hand to the sky.

"I really. Wouldn't do that if I were you—" Kirara repeated.

My hand chopped through the slime like a butter knife to butter. Then, there was a pause. 

One. Two. 

The slime exploded with a loud pop.

My outfit completely covered in blue sludge, I crashed to the ground and frantically scrubbed my eyes with my sleeves in hope they would get whatever was splashed in them.

"—especially since getting slime goo in your eyes really stings. What was it again? The equivalent of two bottles of soap..or was it four?"

"That's too specific!" 

I thrashed about for a little while longer until the stinging pain subsided. When I could open my eyes again, which was not by much, mind you, everything around me was nothing more than a blur.  Trees, grass, Kirara's mocking snickers, Hanako's precious locks, these were easy to pinpoint. The carriage? Not so much.

Four slimes appeared as I sat on my knees and squinted to see them better. Squishing their bodies together, they became larger in size. Five more showed up. Then another seven. All of them continued to fuse together until what was once as small as one of my boots came to be twice my size. How many bottles of soap was this thing worth? It hopped closer to me, leaving some bits of sludge behind. The slime jiggled and contorted once it hit the ground again.

"I got you, Chris! Oh but close your eyes first, that looked like it really hurt," Hanako said, jumping off the carriage and snapping a piece of her shield off, "we wouldn't want you going blind, would we?"  What an angel! 

I shut my eyes as hard as I could, even using my hands to cover them just to be sure. Hanako threw one of her clovers like a frisbee and lodged it into the giant slimes core.

I counted in my head. One. Two.

Pop.

Sludge came raining down from the sky, painting our pristine white carriage with spots of sky blue. Kirara had no problem whacking all the goop that came her way as Lamp followed behind, holding her book as close to her as humanly possible.

"Here lies Chris, the greatest adventurer who ever lived. Defeated by a slime," Kirara said, hooking an arm under one of mine. Hanako had the other.

"S-shut up! I didn't think it would just explode when I hit it!"

"Maybe next time you shouldn't hit things you've never seen before."

"I thought it would be an easy win."

"Don't worry Chris-sama," Lamp said, patting me on the back, "I thought you were really cool."

Hanako ruffled my hair. "Now that you know what they do, the next time you fight one will be a piece of cake!"

"Y-yeah! Next slime we see won't know what hit it," I said. 

Kirara opened the carriage door and told me to get in. I fumbled backward before finding my footing again.

"You got hurt. Get in the back and rest for a little while," she insisted.

"Things may look bad now but I have the perfect cure-all remedy for my little injury!" I jumped into Hanako and planted my head on top of hers. "Hanako-san's hair has healing properties that you couldn't even begin to understand! It's so amazingly soft that even gods would line up to touch it!"

"What is it with you and soft things!?!"

In order to welcome me into the family....Dad arranged for an official ball party for me after 2 days. They planned out all the arrangements in a few hours and we ladies (as mom called us) went for shopping. We first shopped for grandma's. They got themselves some cute pink and yellow lengha with floral designs (both of the same color and pattern).
Then was mom's turn, I chose for her a little blue colored designer gown with pretty blue butterflies (just like Cinderella).

Next was my turn, for the adults we hardly took half an hour while for me they are still looking even after 3 hours and it was almost 7pm.

I saw a light baby pink colored off-shoulder gown with matching shoes and accessories....I showed it to them and they instantly bought it without looking at the price tag....I almost fainted looking at the price tag, I asked my mom to buy something else but they insisted and bought it right away.

We reached home by 9 because mom wanted some facial creams and took almost an hour inside with me and my grandma's sitting in the waiting area with all the bags and bodyguards. 

I was escorted to my room. It was light yellow in colour with a mini tree house right in the middle along with a lamp on the studying table ,a bunk bed,some books on the book shelves and a small piece of paper on the table.I picked it up and there it was written in a clean and very beautiful handwriting  "Welcome little sis....pleasure in meeting you.Please forgive me for not personally welcoming you as I was sent to Japan for some important study quiz which was in our an activity in our school....I look forward of meeting you at your ball....Lots of love and kisses your brother Sam". 

Sam....Sam....My brother's name was Sam.I wanted to ask my parents all day about my brother's name but didn't have the guts to so I shut my mouth and put the thought at the back of my head.

I was very happy that I was at last gonna meet him....wait so the ball was first only planned. Mom told me that brother had gone somewhere the day before I returned and was gonna come back after 2 days.

Now I was waiting for this days to pass fast so I can meet my elder brother Sam....

The alcoholics and Roland left the tavern. The waitress peeped from the tavern, but she dared not go out and stop them. She heard noises and screams, and soon, Roland returned to the tavern to finish the remaining bread with dark circles around his eyes.
The waitress knew that Roland must've won, but she still chuckled at Roland's new look.
Roland was slightly bummed.
He did not receive a system notification telling him that he had claimed or accomplished a quest. It meant that the fight was not part of a quest. He felt that the test was not worth it. Although he did defeat a few drunkards, his own face was punched several times. It was not very painful, but the bruises on his face made him look rather hilarious.
Roland finished the honey bread and paid another copper for a cup of honey juice. Then, burping in satisfaction, he reached the east side of the lake, walking along the trail next to the lake.
This place was at the foot of the mountain and would be overshadowed by the mountain in the afternoon. Due to the cold and lack of sunlight, no villagers had built their houses here. So the place was empty.
Roland found it a perfect place to practice magic. He redrew the profiles of the nodes of Inferior Fireball on the sand, before he analyzed and reversely inferred them. The mathematical model was obviously helpful right now. He could have results as long as there was enough data.
Math was a compulsory class in college. Roland was not adept at it, but he had passed it anyway. He calculated for a long time and found three excellent routes of nodes, which featured speed, power, and distance respectively while guaranteeing the stability of the spell.
After he tested the three node routes, surprisingly, he received a system notification.
He had leveled up.
No glittering special effects, and no pleasant background music. He had leveled up simply and unexpectedly as that.
Roland also noticed that the icon of Inferior Fireball on Magic Book in the system now had a bright gold background and "Versed" behind it. Studying a spell could increase the experience of the game character?
That could be the only explanation.
Such a way of leveling up was indeed fit for scholar-type classes such as Mages. Roland found the game more and more interesting. The system only offered simple notifications. There were no hints of quests, mini-maps, or character profiles. Players could only see the initial attributes of their characters when the characters were built. There were no health bars or names above the NPCs' heads, either. Everything felt real.
After the level-up, Roland felt that he was slightly stronger and more flexible. But more importantly, he could sense the flow of magic in his body more clearly.
He had to cast spells consecutively to sense magic previously, but right now, he could clearly sense a comforting matter in the air, which was being absorbed into his body slowly.
That must be the elements of magic power.
What really amazed Roland was another system notification:
Dear player, you have reached Level 1 and become an official professional. The Backpack function of the system has been activated. You can use this function by reading "Backpack" in your heart. Please find out the effects of this function on your own. Have fun.
So, the system offered a Backpack. Roland clapped his hands in great delight. It was the first time he had played an immersive game, but anybody with common sense about games should know how convenient it would be to have a backpack that did not need to be carried in such a lifelike game.
Roland soon opened the Backpack according to the instructions. A translucent cubic space was unfolded before his eyes. Though it was right next to him, Roland knew that it was a projection that only he could see.
The storage of this Backpack was eight cubic meters.
It's so huge? Roland threw some stones and sand into the Backpack, before he added twigs and water. Soon, he reached a useful conclusion.
Gravity did not exist in the Backpack, which made it easier to heap items. After all, nothing would collapse if there was no gravity.
As to whether or not the Backpack could preserve food, and for how long? That required more tests to figure out.
Roland looked around. Then, he chanted the magic coordinates very quickly. 
X23… Z88
It was the optimal route of nodes for Inferior Fireball that Roland had found out through mathematical modeling. Comprehensively speaking, it had the best performance in terms of speed, power, distance, and stability.
The bright blue fireball the size of a fist dashed into the water in the lake. A few bubbles immediately popped up. Soon, three little fish floated to the surface.
Roland lifted his robe and entered the water. He threw the three silver fish into his Backpack. Those fish were stunned but still alive, but they struggled and stopped moving after they were thrown into the Backpack. They were obviously dead.
The Backpack could not keep living creatures.
Roland recorded it on his memo pad. He couldn't test the preservation abilities of the Backpack for now, but he was sure that he could find out in a day or two.
Now that he was versed in Inferior Fireball, his level had increased, and he even got an unexpected Backpack, Roland focused his attention on another level-one spell: Hand of Magic.
It was a control spell without much damage. According to its description, the spell could form an invisible hand with magic to grab objects. The size of the hand, the gripping power, and the reaching distance were related to the level of the Mage, the connection of nodes, and the amount of magic power.
Then, there were consecutive failures again… However, perhaps because he had upgraded and had a better perception of magic, he did not feel as tired and painful as he did when Inferior Fireball failed.
Therefore, Roland was soon able to draw the profiles of the nodes of Hand of Magic. It was much faster than when he analyzed Inferior Fireball.
Then, he bought more bread at Lake View Tavern, partly as supper and partly as a nighttime snack, and tossed it into his Backpack in the evening. He also bought a lamp in the tavern. After that, he spent the whole night establishing a mathematical model for Hand of Magic. Finally, when it was dawn, Roland found out the optimal route of nodes for Hand of Magic ten minutes before the game paused again.
Hand of Magic on the Magic Book was now Versed, but Roland's level did not increase this time… He estimated that it was because the experience required for the next level-up had increased, so grasping another spell was not enough for him to level up again.


As one of the first players to gain access to World of Falan—the first immersive game worldwide—Roland creates his character as a Mage. 
However, playing as a Mage is not as fun and easy as he thought. His head even explodes after he casts the very first spell in the game. 
Stubbornly sticking to his class when most Mages decide to create a new character, Roland gradually discovers tricks of the trade and his unusual talent. This allows him to change people's stereotypes on Mages and to explore the deeply-buried secrets of this game…

The story begins in 2020 in a high school known as Astoria high. A young boy named Phoenix lazing around on a class room chair. While his friend's eve who was drawing pictures in her book not paying much attention to the lesson  while KIA listened to the teacher working away making notes here and there. when suddenly lesson was over and the teacher began give out permission slips to go visit arched ruins school trip(that is said to be the centre of world's) once the bell went all the students made a dart for the door to get out as quick as possible to go home. They began to walk home together eve playfully tackled phoenix as kia just walked passed them both stopping to tell them to  get up and stop messing in an irritated expression. so they all travelled to the same location due to they were all neighbours. But instead of heading to their separate houses eve suggested we go play video games at phoenix home. So they all did but Kia went straight into the kitchen due to she's more comfortable doing house work than playing games. 
Eve and phoenix went into the living room and played video games until KIA soon came in the living room with meals for three and sweets cupcakes to share for desert. Kia had made a meal for phoenix's mother as well but left it set up nicely on the kitchen counter covers up ready for when she gets back from work. As they all relaxed time flew bye until some time after dark came. eve and KIA left to go home in street lamp light.
(no worries though they only live next door) eve said good bye but KIA just left without a word reading the permission slip on the way out to see what the trip was for and about. Now quiet and relaxed Phoenix sat in his room looking at the permission slip wondering what things would be at the ruins of Aroura falls when the front door opened and closed phoenix mum was home and already in the kitchen eating the food KIA had made with ravenous behaviour. Phoenix walked in to the kitchen and gave his mum the slip but she didn't even look at it properly she signed it gave it back to him and told him she's off to her room for some sleep before she has to get up in 5 hours or work again so she vanished up stairs with her food until morning. Early next morning phoenix awoke to his mom already gone to work and a note let on the side saying (your friends will be here in 1 hour to help you get ready for the trip to day so get you but in gear boy) so phoenix started to get ready and then the door bell rang eve and kia are at the door but let them self's in kia immediately went straight in to the kitchen making a picnic ready or the trip or the three of them while eve ran straight up stairs bugging phoenix to hurry up and get ready. (Emotions flaring) eve and phoenix mess about up stairs. Finishing making the food kia ran up stairs told the two they were late all three of them bolted out the door phoenix closing the front door one the way out then trying to catch up with the girls head to the school to meet up with the class to head to the ruins.
Reaching the school in decent time the three friends ran in line while the teacher checked names and permission slips as student's entered the mini bus while Boarding the bus. 
On the bus it was busy kids messing about throwing pencils and pens even the half eaten chewing gums  . KIA, eve and phoenix sat at the back away from the noise chatting about the things that the ruins could hold and what treasures could be there.  1 hour passed and the bus became quiet as it entered a parking lot that was fairly empty at this time of day. Getting off and seeing the surroundings was quiet depressing due to it looked as though a war had just taken place just then and this sight was the after sight of it all but they were ruins of a strong past of magic and knights? (Children start heading in different directions to explore) so eve ran towards a lake with a beautiful view the other two soon followed her but little did they know that their day was about to change. Kia set down the picnic blanket and left eve to do her own thing. Eve and phoenix played near the water's edge dangerously close for a game to take place as expected eve being too rough in her play she pushed phoenix into the cold water. As he hit the water a glow of light came from the bottom of the lake where the water began to pull phoenix towards it. Eve in a panic ran to get KIA but it was too late by the time the two girls came back phoenix was gone out of sight and nowhere to been seen at the bottom of the lake either….. 
Phoenix was gone.....


"I'll kill you!"
Chu Luo flew into a great rage when she realized she had been fooled. She picked up her sword and swung it at him.
She really meant it. Her attack was aggressive and overwhelming. It seemed she didn't care whether Jiang Chen was injured or killed.
She became even more furious when she thought of the idea of marriage that she had had. She swore she would make Jiang Chen pay the price.
"Are you going to bite the hand that feeds you?" Dorchid shouted.
After the conversation, she tumbled to the realization that Jiang Chen had only wanted to teach Chu Luo a lesson. Not until then, did she ease up.
If Jiang Chen really were a womanizer, he would have come after her too…
"He asked for it!"
Chu Luo didn't listen to her. The class-three spiritual sword in her hand emitted a brilliant radiance. She attacked Jiang Chen with an effective and direct sword movement.
"I don't think you're a match for me." Jiang Chen smiled. He raised the Redcloud Sword casually and defused her attack.
"The spirit of the sword?!"
Chu Luo was surprised. Jiang Chen had killed Crane the Third with only one sword movement, but she hadn't seen the spirit of the sword. That was why she thought she was stronger than Jiang Chen.
"You aren't a match for me, even if you attack me all together. Besides, it's your apprentice sister who proposed to exchange sex for your life."
Jiang Chen took one step forward. It looked like an average movement, but Chu Luo was forced to step back.
"He is good," Chu Luo thought silently. She had no countermeasure at all against his movement.
"Hum."
She had to give up and throw in the towel.
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and didn't continue the fight. He took the book out of the mustardseed ring.
The temporary peace in this place allowed him to take some time to find a way out.
This wouldn't be easy. The book in his hand wasn't a map, nor was it a guide to teach people how to survive.
It was the official record, written by an architect of the underground imperial mausoleum. In the book, he talked about the mausoleum's scale and structure, the traditions of the Vermillion Bird State, and so on.
The mausoleum needed to be enlarged every time a king died. The writer was the mausoleum's last architect.
The first thing Jiang Chen wanted to confirm was whether there was an exit. He wasn't sure whether the architect had mentioned it in the book.
All of a sudden, he was struck dumb. He found the page he was reading was about the exact palace where they were.
Dorchid, Chu Luo, and the others saw Jiang Chen reading one moment and the next, looking around the place.
Then, he suddenly jumped onto a stone statue. The statue extended one of its hands palm up.
In the palm, Jiang Chen found a lamp.
The lamp pole was made from jade and was emitting a light green radiance. The lamp pole supported a garnet lotus, a blooming lotus with crystal clear petals. In the center, a wick was burning.
Jiang Chen used his mind, and the light suddenly extinguished. Darkness shrouded the whole palace.
The female disciples of the Isle of Sky screamed out in fear of danger.
Fortunately, the light came back in a short while. Jiang Chen was back to the ground with the lamp in his hand.
Almost out of instinct from practicing, they instantly knew that lamp was a gorgeous treasure. They envied Jiang Chen a lot, especially Chu Luo. If Jiang Chen hadn't found it first, she would definitely scramble for it.
"How did you know there was a lamp? From the book?" Dorchid asked curiously.
"Yes. This place is called the Soul Leading Palace. This lamp is called the Soul Leading Lamp. It's a powerful treasure. The Vermillion Bird State must have been very powerful and rich that they could use such a treasure as decoration," Jiang Chen said.
"You just said there was an exit, so there is one. It's just you haven't found it?" Dorchid asked him.
Chu Luo and the other female disciples looked over to Jiang Chen. Their eyes were even brighter than the lamp.
Chu Luo approached Jiang Chen all of a sudden. She looked at the book in haste, but only saw characters she didn't understand.
"I'm the only one who understands this book," Jiang Chen said.
"So, go on reading. See whether there is an exit," the female disciples said excitedly.
"If there is, can we do a transaction?"
Jiang Chen didn't hurry to read the book, but looked at Chu Luo with smile. The latter showed an interesting expression. All in all, she had just attacked Jiang Chen. At the moment, she didn't know how to respond to him.
At the same time, in a dim passage, a light ball was hanging in the air and moving forward. Following it were two men walking in tandem.
"Young Master Chenyi, I didn't know there were demons. When the door was closed, those Mental Wander States of other groups and I were all shut out."
The man walking ahead was in his forties. With a big forehead and a hook nose, his looks were impressive at first sight.
"Elder Tree, are you sure the other groups have no more Mental Wander States left?" the youngster behind him said coldly.
The light ball illuminated his face. It was Gao Chenyi, who was ranked eighth on the Prince List.
The earthquake was so large and strong that the hall at the other side of the iron door had collapsed and produced a big hole in the ground. That was how he found a ladder leading down.
At the same time, the door of the hall was also broken. In this way, those Mental Wander States tagging along finally entered the hall.
By then, there were several dead bodies around Gao Chenyi. There were people of each group, all killed by him.
The Guardian Elder of the Grand Qi State, the elder of the Isle of Sky and the leader of the Gang of Knife and Sword were going to kill Gao Chenyi when they saw the blood on his sword.
But thanks to the power of Elder Tree of the Gaos, he killed all three of them, even though it was a one-to-three fight.
However, the passage through which they came had been blocked, so Gao Chenyi and Elder Tree could only choose to go down the ladder to look for the exit.
Suddenly, they heard a disquieting disturbance ahead of them.
Elder Tree's eyes lit up and the light ball sped up and flew forward. By the blue light, they saw some demons dashing towards them from the four walls of the passage.
Gao Chenyi turned pale and stepped behind the elder unconsciously.
"Don't worry, young master. There aren't many."
Elder Tree was calm. He waved his hand and a flying sword flew out from his sleeve. The sword flew forward at a rapid speed.
As it passed, the walls cracked gradually.
Soon, the flying sword flew into the flock of demons. With many screams, their bodies were shattered to pieces.
Hundreds of demons were killed by one sword.
"These were crappy demons. Besides, they were pretty weak."
Elder Tree took his flying sword back. The two kept advancing.
Soon, they came to a stone chamber.
"Someone has been here."
It looked like the stone chamber had been ransacked. There was almost nothing left.
There was a door on the other side of the chamber. The two approached it and heard people talking.
"Princess Wen Xin, do you think this is a coffin chamber?"
"Hopefully it's not. Coffin chambers usually only have one entrance. In this case, it's the prison where we came from, and now we have no way to go back."
"I'm wondering what happened to Jiang Chen."
Gao Chenyi's eyes lit up. He entered the room and saw Deagle, Wen Xin, and Meng Hao as expected. As for the other people, he didn't pay any attention.
"Elder Tree, take them down!"
Since he had help from a Mental Wander State, Gao Chenyi was resolute to take out his anger.
These three were Jiang Chen's companions. They were his biggest target.


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!

Vivian's appearance caused a sensation in the quiet tribal community.
Raising his holy blade, Gezer spread the news to the entire tribe. Seven warriors who dressed up like him gathered. They were men and women, but all had something in common—painted face and a special short knife worn around the waist. They gathered around Vivian and Hessiana, and when their short blades sensed the magic resonance and glowed in red, the warriors who were the 'sacred carriers' loudly pronounced the appearance of the goddess.
When the hoo-ha subsided, they held a grand celebration once again. Men, women, and children brought drinks, which were only reserved for festivals, out of their yurts. Meanwhile, strong men slaughtered animals under the leadership of the elderly in preparation for the feast at night. Women with strange headwear took out pottery jars painted with old patterns from a unique yurt. They distributed the spices stored in the pots to everyone so that they could spread the seasoning on the meat when the feast began. This spice was a luxury that one could only enjoy at religious events. The cheerful singings and the slightly noisy but inspiring music rose from every corner of the settlement. Even if one did not understand the customs of these indigenous peoples, one could still feel the joy that filled the people's hearts. Lily looked at the exotic festival on the riverbank. She could not help but nudge Vivian. "Battie. Are they doing this to welcome you?" she asked.
Vivian was not as nervous as they thought. She was just not used to the reverend and adoring stares, other than that she looked calm. She whispered to Lily, "I didn't expect it to come to this."
Noticing Vivian's reaction, Hao Ren became a little curious. "You look pretty calm, eh?"
"It's not that people have not worshiped me before," Vivian said, appearing a little helpless and sounded self-deprecating. "Did I not tell you before that people in the ancient times occasionally mistook me as a deity? Some even enshrined me in the temple."
Lily became curious. "Wow! That must be cool!"
"Oh, it was annoying." Vivian sighed. "You couldn't communicate with them. Even a sneeze of mine could inspire them to write a book about it. If I weren't starving, I wouldn't have sat in the temple like an idiot for a few years."
Hao Ren did not say a word; he just listened quietly to the conversation. Then, Gezer and a few warriors brought them before a special-looking yurt.
This particular yurt was gorgeous, but it was larger than the others. Other than that, it looked like an ordinary dwelling. An old man with dark skin was standing in front of the yurt. This old man seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Vivian, he immediately bowed on his knees. Hao Ren could do nothing to stop him.
"This is the elder, the wise Gotarug." Gezer respectfully introduced the old man. "He is the tribal head in the West Wind."
Hao Ren stepped forward to hold the old man up, preventing him from carrying out the unnecessary etiquette. "Well, your goddess knows how pious you are now, but she also wants quiet time. Shall we go inside the yurt now? I have a lot of questions to ask."
Gotarug looked at Hao Ren in surprise. He had no idea who Hao Ren was and what Hao Ren had to do with the goddess. Vivian noticed his reaction and told Gotarug, "You shall do what he says."
Vivian had gotten used to letting Hao Ren deal with such people. After all, he was better at doing this than she was.
The interior of the yurt was large enough to accommodate all of them, but the warriors who came with Gezer stayed put at the doorway respectfully. Only Gezer got the chance to talk to the goddess, as he was the first warrior to have met the goddess. Though no one had asked them to do so, the warriors and the tribal elders had their code of conduct. So Hao Ren felt he was in no position to stop them.
The interior of the yurt was simple. Most of the furniture was wooden or woven rattan. Some things looked like containers, but some had no known uses. There was a thick, patterned carpet in the c the yurt. Sitting on the rug was a finely crafted wooden table, which seemed to be the most exquisite piece of furniture in the yurt. On the ground next to the carpet was a metal object that looked like a mini obelisk engraved with some rough patterns. An orange glow radiated from its surface. It felt warm.
It was a piece of magic-driven heating equipment.
They all sat on the carpet with legs crossed just like Gotarug. Gotarug and Gezer did not dare to sit in front of the goddess initially, but Vivian glared at them to have them sit just as others did. Soon, the heat-emitting metal vessel had caught Lily's eyeballs. She curiously poked the shell of the equipment with her claws. "What is this?" she asked.
Gotarug did not expect someone would have asked such an obvious question. But he still replied respectfully, "It's a phlogistic lamp, an item made using the ancient knowledge."
"Ancient?" Hao Ren nodded slightly. "How much do you remember things of the ancient times?"
Hao Ren started by asking questions about calendar, legends, beliefs, and customs. He had prepared all these questions while on the way here. Having many experiences in dealing with different civilizations, Hao Ren naturally knew the right questions to ask. Before long, he had gathered the information he wanted.
There were only two periods in their entire history, namely the Sun Dynasty of the ancient times, and the Year of Jade that had continued to this day. The Sun Dynasty was the era when ancient civilizations flourished, and the goddess was with everyone, while the Year of Jade was the period during which mortals declined from a highly developed civilization into a primitive tribe. The megalithic city of Dorasil on the prairie was a symbol of the Sun Dynasty. The remnants of technology that were left behind made people wonder about the brilliant magic of humankind in that period. But now, their technology had declined so much so that they could only make a phlogistic lamp.
Hao Ren carefully studied their dating system and did some conversion. He found that a year in this underground world was slightly more than two years on Earth. He then asked Gotarug about the specific date the Sun Dynasty ended.
Gotarug took out a meticulously preserved manuscript of parchment from an old rattan box. Perhaps, this manuscript was a hand-written record by generations of people because it was heavy and had a strong scent of spice. People in this world believed that different spices had different sacred uses, just as the spice that Gezer burned in the city ruins that allowed him to talk to his ancestors, the spices on the manuscript could comfort and protect knowledge.
Gotarug found the record of the Sun Dynasty. He pointed to the hieroglyphs and said, "The last ray of sunshine shone on the earth 5,600 years ago. Because the sun's time was over, the goddess would close the heavens. She commanded the underground giants to reach into the sky; the giants' arms became the Pillars of Eternity, which supported the sky and the earth."
Hao Ren then asked, "What about the stone city? Was Dorasil built before the heavens closed?"
He did not believe that a human-made stone city could withstand the earthquake that ensued when the First Born used its tentacles to create a new layer of crust. The quake would have destroyed any remains of human achievement.
Sure enough, Gotarug shook his head. "The Sun Dynasty signified the end of the old world. When the heavens closed, the earth swallowed up everything in the old dynasty. The goddess directed the chosen remnants to the highlands, waiting for the world to complete the remodeling process. The process lasted for a hundred years. Then the world and the remnants of the Sun Dynasty built the last city on the earth, that was, the city of Dorasil. The city was not inhabited but abandoned under the command of the goddess. It is evidence that shows the Sun Dynasty once existed. The old days thus ended, and we ushered in the Year of Jade in the land of abundance."
"That is to say; the Sun Dynasty only officially ended 100 years after the heavens closed. The city became the only relic of civilization on the planet, but it was never inhabited." Hao Ren's brows knit together. "You built it only to abandon it. So, the massive architecture was just a souvenir... What's the point?"
Gotarug put his hand on the chest. "The goddess commanded us to do this. And that's what matters."

I was made to apologize but I refused to do so because I did nothing wrong. Screw her, I have nothing to apologize for and I am not bowing my head to someone else who is weaker than myself. 

= "I will not lower my head to someone who is in the wrong. Such a foolish act is something should only be done by buffoons who have no spine." =

I refused to apologize and Solstice insisted on making me apologize, we were now stuck in a loop that will not be resolved until one of us bends. The person who will bend over will not be me. 

Solstice was angered by my actions and punished me by staying in the orphanage's library where the books and knowledge book was kept. I was ecstatic by this punishment.

Solstice wanted to have the three boys I punished follow me in the library, I think she is hoping to see if we can work things out. I think that would be an impossible task. Or something on that line. 

= "You boys will be spending the night together in the library and reflect on what you did. Try to escape and you will get no breakfast." =

I was led in a library and the three boys followed me. Solstice asked us to get along before leaving us alone. I threatened the three to not make a ruckus else I will make them shut their mouths. 

Someone shouted back and asked me threateningly, = "Or what? You dirty half-breed!" =

I punched him and knocked him out cold, but he dared cold me dirt and I added a kick on the abdomen. 

He resembled a cooked prawn after that and the other two dragged the other one's body away in fear of receiving my fist. 

It was on the day that I learned of what a library is that I found something that truly interested me. 

Although there were things I have already learned in both the hospital and through the World Cube. 

I began to read anyway, the books I read consists of stories about people who called themselves as [Seekers]. 

Seekers were people who gathered in a place called a [Seeker Union] or [Seeker Guild]. 

Many famous Seekers had their stories written on books, it was enjoyable to read and imaging their adventures.

People who called themselves mages interested me even more.

Beings who can control the four fundamental elements of the world to cast a spell and inflict injuries to their enemies with space in between them.

The complicated and elegant way of using one's mind to plan ahead before using a spell. The delicate way of implementing spells in different situations.

It was wondrous and I was drawn to these stories, and before long, the night became day and I had to do my task before continuing my reading session. 

After learning of storybooks, I yearned for them more and more. 

And with dozens of books and not one child wanting to read them, I found myself reading a book all by myself, only moving away when I need to eat, take a bath, poop, piss, and do finish my tasks. 

I will also be forced to go to my room and sleep at night which displeased me. 

I wanted to read these storybooks, the orphanage had what you call a light bulb that could light up a whole room.

Back when I used to live with Von, the only light we had was a lamp so it made it hard for me to read. But with the bright and wondrous light bulb, I could read like it was daytime.

But because of my curfew, it was almost impossible for me to read at night as much as I would want. So, I device a plan that could let me read as much as I wanted. 

That plan was simple, I beat up the three boys and I would be sent to the library to reflect. I nodded my head and implemented the plan and beat the three boys for two days straight and gained access to the library at night by using this method. 

But after I beat the three boys a third time, the plan did not work and I was busted. 

I gained no entry to the library that night and the boys were beaten up by me for nothing. What could have they done to suffer such injustice? 

For their sacrifice to be in vain, it was such a sad sight. 

But Solstice did have enough of me acting like so and she learned of my intentions. So, she gave me the right to enter the library whenever I wanted to. 

But not that night because that night, I was punished to go to sleep early and forget about books. 

Coming back to the present time. I now gain access to the library and I now finish every storybook inside the library. I moved into reading books about spells and mages rather than stories about them.

Now, I want to become a mage myself. So, I opened a book about mages and read through the fundamentals of becoming a mage. 

In the seventh month of the year 982 N.E, a full year after I arrived in the orphanage, I finished all the books yet gained useless information about mages. 

In the past year I spent in the Shining Sun Orphanage, I became recluse and my distance towards the other children increased. Which was both a shame and something good?

It was a shame because I think I finally downed my smile and my attitude towards socialization. And good because I could focus on my study of magic and spells. 

But even after a year of researching and trying different methods. I failed to make a connection with any of the four elements, [Fire], [Water], [Wind], and [Earth].

It was tough for me to make a connection with them because of something peculiar. 

A child that awakens as a mage will already make a connection with an element once they create their Mana Core. The instant a Mana Core was created, they will automatically be connected to the element they have the highest affinity.

It is at this time where one of the more old ways of measuring one's talents comes to light. 

Any child that awakens will connect to at least one of the four fundamental elements, but because I already have a Mana Core when I awaken, it seems like I am a rare case. 

I had not said anything about having mana to Solstice, I do not want to attract attention to myself. I had learned many things on stories I have read and many of their stupid mistakes was showing off when they had no strength or backing to protect themselves. 

Bottom line is, I am in a tough position where I have to figure out a way how I can make a connection.

A month passed and I am still left with no solution, at this point of time, a young man came into the orphanage. 

The young man had black hair opposite of my white hair. He had black eyes when I have red, I am comparing his features to mine because I fail to distinguish what is a handsome and a beautiful face to what is not.

They say I am handsome, so my basis was my own face. 

Going back, the young man that came in was seven years old and is weird as he chose to be alone and was somewhat similar to me other than the fact he has no ability to do any chores. 
But he was oddly more likable and had many children flock around him. 

In the first three months, I ignored his existence and focused on my own things. But as time went on, and a month passed, other children became jealous of the attention the child was getting and he was harassed and ignored by other boys. 

At some point, I managed to witness five people surrounding him. 

They were ganging up on him and I found it entertaining that someone was getting hurt so I stayed and watched to see what would happen. 

Everything was happening on the back of the library and I was watching in a barely noticeable window. 

The five boys pushed him around and after one bad push and the boy fell down. 

He finally had enough and stood his ground. He fought back, but not with his fist. Instead, he held a red pendant that was dangling over his neck. A red flash of light escaped his body. 

The boy opened his mouth and uttered, = "Igni!" =

A small ball of flames flew out of his hands and hit a nearby rock, a mini-explosion occurred. 

Boom.

It did not heat any of the boys, but it scared the living out of them and they fell onto their asses. 

The boy who cast the spell looked down upon them and I heart him said coldly, = "Mess with me and that will land on any of you five." =

I was clueless about the ways of the world, but I can supplement that with my ardent desire for knowledge.

I was powerless, but I now wield powers no mortal can hope to comprehend.

I was kind, but I learned ruthlessness is the only way to live in a world that wants my head. 

Generals, Kings, Emperors, and Gods are just some being who gained recognition but all of them like everyone else.

I am a being no one wanted to exist, I am a scourge, but I will rise and be revered by all.

And if they do not bend their knees? Their fates will be sealed underneath my feet.  

Kneel before the one who treads the Monstrous Path.

Ren Suo blinked as if he suddenly recalled something.
He controlled the pangolin to run outside suddenly, and Huo Liang quickly ran after him, saying, "Wait, don't go—"
The house was not big, comprising two rooms and a living room. Although the pangolin's vision was poor, the calendar would definitely be hung at a prominent location in the house. The moment the pangolin entered the living room, Ren Suo saw the calendar hung on a cabinet, and he controlled the pangolin to climb onto it.
The current date was written on the calendar.
"X of May, Lunar Calendar X day of the X month, suitable for marriage..."
However, just as the pangolin looked at the calendar, the date "X May" on the calendar changed into "X of X"!
The default month setting was May when the player was not noticing the month, but when the player did notice, the game was unwilling to disclose that information to the player.
At that point, it was obvious to Ren Suo that the time in the game was either in a parallel universe or in the future!
Based on the characteristics of the Mini Worlds Gaming Console, it was highly likely to be the future!
Once Ren Suo uploaded the completed game save, his entire gameplay would become reality and take place in the future!
In that case, was he controlling the pangolin in the future and causing convergence of the world line, which causes an effect in the present, or was the Mini Worlds Gaming Console able to calculate the future of the entire universe and even the changes that would occur?
However, the question remained, why was the game unwilling to let him know the exact time in the future that it would take place?
All of those meaningless and unverifiable questions in Ren Suo's mind were quickly interrupted when Huo Liang scooped the pangolin up in his arms. 
He looked seriously at the pangolin and said, "—Pangolin, I want to become stronger, please teach me!"
"I can adopt and feed you! Please be my holy creature!" Huo Liang continued.
The pangolin slapped the Huo Liang's hands away and slipped into the room to retrieve the floor tile.
Ren Suo thought, 'This kid must have read too many novels. Why would he think that it was so easy to meet a holy creature?'
It was a problem that had to be treated!
It's time to slip away. My time is very precious. The darned strongest creature in the world has gained a few hundreds of combat points again!
After the pangolin broke free from his grip, Huo Liang knew the pangolin's reply to his question. He was extremely sullen and stood leaning against the wall. However, he saw that the pangolin did not leave after picking up the floor tile, but instead remained in the living room, looking up at the ceiling.
"Eh?" Huo Liang said as he looked up and traced the pangolin's gaze to the lightbulb hanging from the ceiling.
There was an incandescent bulb as well as another smaller light bulb installed in his living room. The incandescent bulb was used at night, while the smaller light bulb was used during sleep so that he and his mother could navigate their way to the toilet in the middle of the night if they needed to. It was an extremely energy-saving bulb that was not too bright for the eyes while sleeping.
"Do you want that?" Huo Liang asked as he looked at the pangolin.
At that moment, a rarely seen dialogue box appeared with the following options—
① Yes
② No
Ren Suo naturally selected "Yes".
"Ah? Which part of it do you want?" an extremely surprised Huo Liang asked.
The pangolin lifted its hand and continued pointing at the lightbulb.
Huo Liang stared at the light bulb and remained silent for some time, then probed, "You want the light bulb holder?"
The pangolin nodded its head.
With that, Huo Liang took some time removing the light bulb holder, and it was handed over to the pangolin.
[36-year-old Lightbulb Holder]
[Reiki content: Moderately little]
[Chance of Enhancement: 50%]
[Time required to absorb: 16 hours 16 minutes]
[Passionate Glow: After being used for 36 years, this lamp holder is filled with invigorating passion and the strength of light. After absorbing its Reiki, there would be a chance for the elemental path in the evolutionary tree to be activated during the next evolution]
[Warding Evil: When using this lamp holder, the hearts of all living souls can be calmed, and it can burn evil]
The lamp holder was truly... a great item!
It made the trip to the city from the countryside worth it!
Ren Suo had not imagined that he would find such a beneficial Reiki object in an ordinary house like that!
The house appeared to be part of an old apartment building, and perhaps there would be many of such amazing items in the other rooms!
However, from the pangolin's field of view, Ren Suo saw Huo Liang looking at him feebly and his face was filled with grief.
He said, "My mother is definitely going to scold me badly for removing the lamp holder."
On the screen, Huo Liang continued looking at the pangolin as he clapped his hands together, begging, "You are filled with so much spiritual essence, you definitely have a way to make me stronger, don't you?" 
Behind the screen, Ren Suo scratched his head.
"You better hope that I am able to pass the game in this try with a high score..." Ren Suo muttered.
————
I am fat, and acne still grows on my face.
It was a simple yet straightforward description, but it fully portrayed Chen Zile's sorrows—it was not that a fat person like him did not have human rights, for there would always be a few people like him in every class who could not fit in with the more popular students, and they could then form their own support group. In that way, Chen Zile still had a few close friends in real life.
But while he was alone, Chen Zile hated his current self. It was only due to him being rejected when he was in his second year of senior high school, for a relatively touching reason:
"Ah? You like me because I am nice to you? But.. but it's only because I want to rub your stomach," the girl said back then.
The world came crashing down on Chen Zile immediately. At that time, he choked momentarily, remaining silent for a long time and finally said, "Oh... Sorry to disturb you then."
The girl looked cautiously at him and asked, "Then... can I still rub your stomach next time?"
From that moment on, Chen Zile was determined to slim down.
—That determination lasted three days for a grand total of 2-night jogging sessions. In fact, the second night jogging session was cut short due to his aching leg muscles (stemming from the excessive exercise the day before), after which he duly returned home to rest, and even ate supper in the middle of the night as he was too hungry in his sleep.
Originally, Chen Zile no longer held any hopes for his future. After all, who would willingly choose to make themselves suffer?
It was his belief that being fat was the final evolution of humans, especially after he watched the movie "Wall-E"—humans would eventually become fat if they did not work!
To put it simply, he had given up on himself, and was trying to block off the beauty standards of the world with his impossible fantasies.
He had imagined himself to be a strong and determined member of the Fatties' Club. But when he was chosen to take part in the training where he personally sent a middle-aged white man with an oily face to the heavens with his "P18C of the Rain", he surrendered.
I want to be a hot and handsome guy too!
However, in the training, it was easy to become handsome and slim down, but it was hard to continue being fat.
If anyone saw a trainee who was not fat in the training, that person must have experienced a much more torturous life in reality than a fat person did: disabilities, congenital diseases, chronic illnesses...
Nonetheless, those people generally did not appear in the third stage of the training, as most of them would rush back to reality to experience their changed lives after recovering their health.
Chen Zile had encountered such people in the first stage of the training. He was a teenager from Xuan Nation who lost both his limbs in a car accident. When he was healed, he was virtually jumping and running everywhere. He hugged Chen Zile, laughing as he spoke to Chen Zile in a northeastern dialect that he could not understand. In the end, he let Chen Zile send him back to reality.
Chen Zile asked, "What if this was all fake? What would you do if you actually died after being sent to the heavens?"
The teenager, who was called Da Wei, laughed and said, "If I die, so be it. If that is the case, I would no longer be a burden to my parents. And if I do return, I would have perfectly functioning limbs. To me, both options are much better than being a useless person!"
It really is tough for those who are disabled.
However, it was not easy to be fat.
Chen Zile had not thought that he would also experience the pain of being fat in the training.
Who would have imagined that after drinking four cans of cola, Chen Zile's stomach became bloated, and after eating the Fried Chicken Set, he was on the verge of vomiting? Chen Zile had vowed never to eat fried chicken ever again after leaving the training, and he would not drink the fatty's water of happiness either!
In the previous two rounds of training, he drank 4 cans of cola, 3 bars of chocolate, and 2 fried chicken sets every hour on average. If Chen Zile did not have a large appetite to start with, he could well end up feeling nauseous from all the food and drinks.
Fortunately, there was a day of rest between each stage of the training. There were entertainment facilities in the resting zone, and Chen Zile took the opportunity to go to a comic book cafe to finish reading a comic series that had not been fully translated into Chinese—it felt like the deities were Chinese.
At that point in time, Chen Zile had successfully proceeded to the third stage of the training, which was also the last stage.
He was one of the strongest trainees who had survived the second stage as a single-person team and now possessed 7 Talents. Apart from "Blaze", which was leveled up to level 2 to enhance his vision of Voldemort, the rest was "Glorious Stars". Even the rewards for the first two stages of the training was "Glorious Stars".
Indeed, Chen Zile mainly used the sniper recovery weapon. Although he was fat, he was not shortsighted, and his dynamic visual acuity was extremely good. He had not lost a single time in a fight against his opponents, but he had never won either—he was merely avoiding being shot.
In addition, he had held a real gun before when he went overseas with his father. He also cosplayed Counter-Strike regularly in real life and was a true military cosplayer.
Although he had managed to pass stage two because he was lucky (the Enjoyment Zone formed close to him), his technical handling ability of the weapons was in fact one of the best amongst the trainees.
After he received the Glorious Stars Talents, Chen Zile was even stronger and more adept and sent numerous fat or disabled trainees to the skies. With his "Holy Light 98K" equipped with a red dot sight, he managed to achieve a glamorous achievement of fully healing 19 people in just three circles.
The level 5 "Glorious Stars" Talent allowed Chen Zile's shots from his recovery sniper rifle to be unaffected by the speed of the wind, electromagnetic waves, and other elemental conditions. It was only affected by gravity and required virtually no time to aim and preempt.
At present, the fourth Enjoyment Zone was about to shrink and there were 34 people left. Chen Zile stood on the edge of the circle of the Enjoyment Zone, patiently awaiting those who remained outside.
Chen Zile's strategy of focusing on leveling up "Glorious Stars" gave him an extreme edge over his opponents in the second, third, and fourth circle. At that time, many of the trainees would be running towards the Enjoyment Zone, and the sniper rifle had the largest advantage. However, in the fifth circle, the battlezone became too small. The distance between one another was reduced and it was the recovery assault rifle's turn to shine.
As such, Chen Zile had to send as many trainees as possible to the skies at the start and reduce the number of trainees who remained in the later rounds. There would be a lower chance of short distance encounters and his recovery sniper rifle would still remain advantageous to him!
Roar--
It was the sound of the Great Ravenous Dragon!
How silly, how did he dare to ride the five-seater Great Ravenous Dragon? Chen Zilong had not imagined that there would be such a fool who would do so. In "Land of the Light", the best form of transportation for a single person was the Lightning Wyvern. It was as fast as lightning and it was useless to aim a shot at it unless the distance was sufficiently close. The Snow Unicorn was the next best option as it was able to withstand a portion of the recovery effects.
Even with Chen Zile's level 5 "Glorious Stars", he had to stand right in front of the Lightning Wyvern to stand a chance at shooting the trainee who was on it; it was otherwise impossible to do so.
The Great Ravenous Dragon did not move slowly either, but it was virtually defenseless. Any trainee who rode on it was essentially a prominent target!
As the footsteps of the Great Ravenous Dragon came closer, Chen Zile switched to the Holy Light 98K and waited patiently for the "vehicle" to appear in view.
It was now on the other side of the slope on the other mountain!
It was about to appear!
At that moment, Chen Zile heard the footsteps of the Great Ravenous Dragon stop.
You were about to enter the zone, why did you stop?
Chen Zile looked into the distance with his naked eye and was relieved—there was at least a hundred-meter distance from his position to the slope of the mountain. 
Even a fully-levelled "Blaze" would not be able to see me.
And so——
A gun flash appeared from the opposite mountain. Chen Zile then realized that his "Poorly-Made Poor Quality Dragon Ritual Mask" quickly lighted up in flames, hail, and lightning. It transformed into a "Real Dragon Ritual Mask".
But Chen Zile had not ascended to the sky yet!
That opponent had not upgraded his recovery assault rifle, and Chen Zile's level 3 helmet was able to withstand one shot from it. His health only rose to 95%, so he could still be saved!
Chen Zile almost instantly rolled backward, down the slope.
The injury dealt from rolling down the slope would not activate the Protection of the Gods, and Chen Zile's layer of fats acted as the best protection during that time. Within a few seconds, he reached the bottom of the slope. He hid in the bushes as a phantom tank, and began drinking cola and eating fried chicken!
However, at that moment, a Holy Grenade also rolled down from the ridge of the mountains to where Chen Zile was hiding.
"What the--" Chen Zile exclaimed.
Even as Chen Zile turned into a handsome guy with four-pack abs, he could not figure out how his opponent had found out his location, and how his opponent knew that he was hiding in the bushes to recover?
It could not have been "Blaze", for "Blaze" could not take effect from such a terrifyingly great distance!
Furthermore, the entire sequence of events took place very quickly. Chen Zile thought about the distance from which the hand grenade was thrown and realized that his opponent must have rushed over after shooting his helmet. When his opponent reached a suitably close distance, he had then thrown the Holy Grenade from the other side of the slope, causing Chen Zile to ascend to the heavens without even finishing his fried chicken.
Did my opponent do well?
No, it was me who received it well.
Rather than skill... it was more justified to say that he had already known my location, preempted my reaction, and knew exactly where I was going to hide!
It had to be made known that while Chen Zile was in hiding, he had not fired the rifle, nor did he move in his camouflage combat suit. He could not have been seen from that far away!
That opponent's moves seemed to suggest that he had experienced it himself before.
It was as if his opponent had experienced that training before, and was trying again after loading a saved game.
As Chen Zile rose to the sky, he then decided to take the last opportunity to carve the looks of that fat trainee who had caused him to ascend to the heavens in his mind.
That opponent's strange actions and ability to foresee the outcome reminded Chen Zile of a word that had been trending on the internet.
Furthermore, it seemed that many more strange happenings had taken place recently, and the nation was also preparing to establish a Practitioner School, so whatever appeared would not have been extraordinary.
Could that opponent be... one of the Reborn?!
