Noku was walking home from the store one day until it all changed. Not remembering anything about how he ended up in some hospital full of Dokas, people who looked somewhat like humans but with blue skin, antennas, and slime coating their skin. Noku runs from the hospital for what seemed like an eternity until he ran into other “humans” only to discover he is in the same time period but on a different world. Follow Noku’s journey as he unravels mysteries of his new world and tries to go home to deliver his groceries to his mom.

"Miss…"

"Miss…"

"Mistress," I peel my eyes open and blink a few times. What came into view was the brilliant golden hair color of the child. His features soon came into focus and I quickly begin to remember where I am. 

"Did something happen?" I ask him quickly. My whole body was tense. 

"No, it's just morning," he says cutely, as he sunk back down onto the branch. "We thought that we should wake you up," he says jerking his head towards Royal. 

I glance at my snake baby, and he nods his head agreeing with what the small child said. It looks like while I was asleep, they'd gotten on quite well. That was always a good thing, for others to get along. 

"That means that nothing happened during the night?" I ask him. 

He ducks his head slightly and I felt a bit of anxiety at that response. 

"What happened?' I ask. 

He pauses before he turns around to face me. Now we're looking eye to eye. 

"There were a few monsters that wandered towards us, but I took care of them. It wasn't any of the monsters from the castle. Just some monsters from the forest itself," he says while looking down at his hands. 

Which he was twisting nervously. 

I let out a sigh of relief. It seems that he was indeed a capable monster, I'd gotten lucky in beating him it would seem. My gaze drifted towards Royal, maybe, it was a bit of inhuman luck that I had. 

"I'm not mad at you, I'm impressed that you were able to take care of everything by yourself. I'd assumed that since you specialize in mental attacks that you would be physically weak…was I perhaps mistaken?" 

He quickly shakes his head and I roll my eyes; it was time to look over the book and the contacts. I summon both of them from the ring. 

A contact case that's completely black with golden eyes appears, underneath of it is a book. The book was strange, it has the face of a clown on it and behind the clown is the design of a Ferris wheel all of the design are cartoonish. 

Extending my hand, I give the book to the golden child in front of me. He takes it with open hands. Leaving me with the black contact case. He looks at the book in his hand with great interest. 

I screw open the cap of one of them and inlaid in a black liquid inside of the case is a rainbow-colored contact lens. It was beautiful.

Without further delay, I scoop the contact up out of the black liquid and quickly place it into my eye. I repeat the step for the second one as well, with that over, the contact case melts, transforming into black liquid. 

It quickly seeps into my flesh, and the palms of my hands feel like they're being burned. Flipping my hands, open I find that my hands have two eyes burned into them, they're golden and remind me of the eyes that had been on the contact case. 

Was this permanent? 

Flipping them over, I just shake my head, there wasn't anything that I could do. Blinking a few times, I look up at the Golden child in front of me. 

Above his head, a screen appears. 

「Mental Clown Lvl.21」

I choke a little, he was level twenty-one. He was a higher level than me! 

I look over at Royal. It would be safe to expect him to be abnormal as well…

「???」

There was nothing but question marks above his head, did that mean that he was unknown…

What sort of monsters had I fallen into? 

Rubbing a hand down my face, I close my eyes and finch the bridge of my nose. It was safe to say that I had an advantage considering the strength of theses Monsters, but it was also mind-numbing to think that there are stronger monsters in that castle. 

Opening my eyes, I focus on the two in front of me. They're both looking at me with high expectations. I felt my stomach flip flop, I was glad that I had these two at my side. 

The golden child had a face of glee as he flips through the book that was in his hand. He looked completely enraptured in the book. His eyes are practically twinkling like stars. The book I'd given to him to hold was the guide for this world. 

"Mistress! This book has a section about me!" He says quickly flipping the book around. Doing so to allow me to see the passage. 

In the passage, a similar picture of him did appear. However, it the original look of when he'd been a monster, this child-like look he was sporting now wasn't documented in the book. Was this a special feature of my own special skill? 

I reach out and take the book from his hands. Skimming the page, I look for anything that suggests that there was a transformation that this creature would undergo if obtained by a Player. 

It didn't reference a transformation for a monster, it just simply stated that a ring would drop that allowed you a onetime summon of that certain monster. Whereas my skill was broken, as long as I had MP, I could summon any monster on my list. 

Making this drop rate even better than what was listed in the book. I also had the feeling that the higher my luck went the better the chance that I would have to obtain that monster. With that thought in mind, I wanted nothing more than to pour almost all my points into my luck stat.

But that was a little hasty. It was safe to say that it would be a little hasty to dump everything into one place, especially when I felt really weak against these monsters. After fighting two of these stronger and advance monsters in a row, I learned just how inexperienced I was in combat. 

These monsters had more thought and reasoning than just the mindless clowns that I had fought in that hallway after first waking up. That was playtime, this was the beginning of the real combat that was happening, a life and death situation. 

In this life and death situation, I found myself with two monsters, I'd lost the only other Player. In this sense, I was completely by myself but I still had my subordinates, basically. 

Flipping through the book, I stop when I see a description of the mini-game that I found myself in…「Clown's Seek」. I wanted to hurl the book at the sight of that fucking name. 

Sucking in a deep breath, I begin to scan the page.  

There wasn't that much information on it; it was ranked a Hell mission. The reason for that was the second stage that can be triggered if one doesn't finish the first stage. It was unlikely that someone that was fresh as snow would survive this challenge. Or that's at least what the book was telling me. 

In terms of overall clearing of this stage, it was in the single digits. This really was such an unfavorable situation. 

There was a list of people that had cleared the minigame, and I sucked in a deep breath. They all we're elites in terms of their level. Most of them are above fifty, I was sitting her at level eight. Most of the monsters in this minigame are over level fifteen. 

Biting my lip, I want to cry, this luck stat was bullshit! If I was lucky, I wouldn't have found myself in this damn game, to begin with. 

I'd almost given up hope, but I flip the page and a section straight out of a holy text appears. 

「The second round, of the minigame, is the true salvation of a player. If one can complete the minigame, being under level 20. A special prize will be rewarded to them, along with a specialized skill!

Higher-level players will receive world currency in replace of a specialized skill. 

Outside of the rewards, solo clearing the minigame will also reward a randomized prize. 」

I remember Matthew, telling me that there was a handsome reward in clearing the first part. He apparently, wasn't stupid enough to tempt fate, and risk the second trail. In the end, he'd still overestimated his skills and gotten killed in the process. 

This wasn't a joke. 

Nothing about this was simple, without Royal and this powerful skill I'd gotten. I'd be in his same boat; I probably wouldn't even survive half as long as him. 

I clench the book, and continue reading, but there wasn't anything else that was helpful. Most of the information was about the first section of the minigame, it seems that a fair few had cleared that. 

It was an easy clear if you had enough people, you'd just have to split the reward. But that was a small price to pay to survive. 

Then all the strong players, that had cleared the second round, didn't seem to want to share the information. But that wasn't a surprise, this was a simple concept that was followed by everyone that was strong. 

As if that triggered something, I felt a prickling behind my eyes, as if something was scratching to get out. 

The echoing sound of a man's voice starts in my head. 

'It's simple like Darwin's rule of natural selection, the weak die out, while the strong continue on and survive. It's survival of the fittest, remember ****, the strong keep strong by never allowing the weak to get strong!' 

Darwin…

I hadn't been able to remember anything, since the moment I'd become conscious. Had that been a memory… the man's voice had seemed so familiar, almost like he was talking to me. 

He'd said a name, but I hadn't been able to understand it at all. However, I can't shake the feeling that I did know that voice, and that he'd been calling my name. 

Who had I been before, I'd woke up here?

'Welcome to the Million World Game.' 

Awakening in the body of the Avatar she just created Alice finds that she's now in a game like world, that's dark and twisted.

The bead of light continually glowed blindingly in his forehead and his existence was wrapped up, seemingly ablaze. A time for someone to drink a cup of tea, it's final shine concluded. 

(Author: A cup of tea = 10 minutes) 

His unearthly body responded with a new awareness. A new sensation had overcomed his being. 

Creeping and crawling on his skin, conspicuous flow of amiable energy penetrated his tender flesh. His microscopic pores greedily absorbed. 

Streaming inside his luscious body, his perpetually revitalized cells seemed to be augmented in its extent of strength. Every brief of time, he became the more powerful.

His conjecture was that; ever since his inconceivable transformation, he already consumed the surrounding's energy.

What happened here, after the seemingly metamorphosis, his mighty puissant mind effloresce it's illimitable hidden potential. He had only perceived it right now after his mind awakened. 

He had also speculated that after dealing his first blistering tribulation, the powers inexplicably unlocked for themselves. 

'It was like being tested' He deemed. After his experience, massacring the whole world; his disposition ultimately turned to be placid. He unnescessarily didn't want to use his enthralling mouth to speak. 

Even if what he thought was real or not, there were countless out there who must be excruciatingly experiencing things harsher than him. It may be to a point that his was practically negligible. 

This ordeal was meant to steel his spirit and soul. Because without a firm will and heart, he could easily be succumbed by any situations and circumstances. And he knew that profound truth as he could facilely comprehend it. 

One more thing, the unfathomable power which was originally from his forehead seemed to had integrated with him. It fused into his essences, his origins. 

He reckoned that he could teleport himself, not the other way around.

The first time when he conceived the power, he had an intuition that it could not be employed to oneself. An ability attaining anything except that he couldnt empower and transport himself. 

But right now, he could achieve it. The law of space and time resonated with him. The pertinent particles seemed to abide his will. His dominance over them was as if slaves' obeisance to its master. But as magically wondrous as it is, Yuehan was not the least excited. 

The waves of the aether bended accordingly in his control and a touch of primordial age eclipsed him with its eternity. 

His bleak mood tend to search nostalgia as a superficial idea of a planet fleeted into his mind. An ordinary world based on structure of the earth, the effulgence treasures coalesced by the essences of the soil, the precise interchanging of warmth and cold, the regular wild and untamed animals, buzzing insects and mini species, plants and trees, humans, solar system, star and a moon, and other such things. 

He vanished and warped into...

A devastated world. 

It is indeed like Earth. Such size and shape were coequal. 

However, the planet's life force was nighly diminished based on its decayed energy. It could be considered that it had already perished. 

Trees were pitch black and distorted in a withered fashion. Dense spots of black tinted the surface the cracked lands. The water was bygone. The air was deficit. 

Yuehan didn't need consumption of oxygen. Inhaling odors and exhaling it were the only current functions. He didn't also have a use for hydration as well as perennially not being tired mentally or physically. Disadvantages of a mortal vanished from his divine self. 

Soaring in the cloudless skies, souls were nonextant, destroyed by natural circumstances. 

This foreign world exuded a different sensation from his home world. 

Movement stopped, he teleported into the ground. 

(Author: From now on,  as the mysterious power of our MC does need to glow again when employed, and there would be no longer an indication; I've decided to let his ordinary teleportation remained it's term as "teleport" and the mysterious power be termed as "warp".)

He let his index finger touched the squalid earth. He instinctively used psychometry.

(Author: Psychometry is the ability to obtain information about a person or an object by touch.)

The full past of the planet was drawn and engraved into his memories. 

There were no humans in its history as well as intelligent species. Primitive creatures roamed in the ancient times, evolving as generations came. Bearing resistant genes in their bodies, they lived through harsh environments. They drank through black liquid, extracting correct water from its poisonous properties. Looking unsightly and extremely different from the creatures of Earth, they didn't survived in the end. 

Veiling in the blazing light, dead creatures slowly decomposed in the black tinted land until they were none. Having no carbon dioxide, trees and plants slowly withered. Lacking in health, they were drastically influenced by the corrosive black properties.

The reason was unknown and he had to figure it out by himself. 

He "warped" a thick book and he caught it into his grasp. It was based from his general idea of books based on literature world of Earth. 
Fully covered in dust, it exuded an ancient time. In contrast, it's cover entitled "Terraforming Planets", entailing a modern content. 

Only a look, Yuehan speculated it came from a great civilization with thousands of years of history. Gaining an ancient sense, the book must had slipped into the long ages. The civilization's level at that time was unknown.
But this book didn't apply into a standard of a real book. Notably, all the contents were only opinions, remarkably. Clearly, it backed up a great history. 

However, Yuehan didn't bother. Reading all the thoughts stated in the opinions through the words, phrases, and random sentences in the book, he comprehended immediately. 
With his extreme precision and accuracy, no mistakes was done in his breakneck speed of flipping the pages. By his divine body, such speed is nothing. With a unique style and technique whimly created on the spot, he easily managed to see all the words in every flip. 

With his extreme intelligence coupled with his photographic memory, comprehension finished in a time of a breath.

(Author: A breath = 2 seconds) 

Most of the contents were effortlessly understood. Although he didn't perceive everything, it was due to the reason that he had no foundation in this field of subject.

Leaving the not gained knowledge in the back of his mind, a day he could deduce it would come. 

By analogy; using an example in mathematics, it is how you only knew of addition and subtraction. When it comes to multiplication or division when you didn't even know the use and meanings of the symbols of × and ÷, it was impossible to know how. 

Yuehan comprehended most of it as there were many references he could derive in the notes that he easily deduced it.

Again by analogy, you didn't know what was multiplication but the notes said that 2 × 3 = 6. You could infer immediately through deliberation that thrice the 2 was 6 or twice the 3 was 6.

Due to that, with Yuehan's otherworldly intellectuality, almost of the book was casually understood. Only leaving the unknown such as the formulas of sin, cos and tan. Include also the cot, csc, and sec. 

With a casual uplift of his hand, Yuehan thought as he moved, 'Air Pressure'. A dense amount of gases were warped and appeared in the liberated atmosphere. The atmosphere's freedom was took back swiftly and now in back to its fetter from the dense gas molecules filling it.

Yuehan commenced the regain of the sap of this planet's life and enhance back its alluring verdure. 

He started his very first terraforming.

Under the veil of the ubiquitous light, an unremarkable teenager was illuminated by its elusive glow. A shift of time, seemingly an eternity; an omni-being spawned forth it's deifying presence into the void. After a bout ceased, a new divinity was born. 

Crossing over to the infinite cosmos and traversing the unfathomable mysteries within, parallel or not it may be, he arrived... 

For the first time...

The origin place of the immortals.

*

Somewhere in a cultivation world... 

"W-Wh-who are you?!!" A man was immoderately frightened that he stepped back in terror involuntarily as his butt plunged on the scabrous ground. Countless cadavers were in repose. 

In front of him was a nebulous person concealed in the overlay of his exquisite pitch-black robe. His face was hidden in enigma but his aphotic eyes seemed to pierce through his debilitated soul as one of it gleamed in black and the other in white. His serried and boundless aura encompassed everything in the area. The elements hovered in exuberant around him. All existences shuddered  by his concentrated pressure. 

He answered in a deep and uncanny voice. 

"I'm just a traveler."

When she went up, Beatrice's eye twitched upon seeing Rafael standing beside Lianne. Sam gave him 'the look' and Rafael shrugged.
"She's good," he said simply, unabashed.
Beatrice rolled her eyes, a habit she developed after getting together with the Dante twins. She told them, "Ms. Kay's in a meeting right now, so you can wait for her in the room if you want."
"Okay," Lianne replied and headed to the door. 
As her hand touched the doorknob, she turned towards Rafael and said, "Thank you for accompanying and protecting me, Rafael."
He smiled, "Anytime."
Lianne gave him a small wave and walked inside, closing the door behind her.
Once inside, she decided that the best place to spend her time would be in the resting room. That way, at least, she would not be in the way. She didn't know when Kay would be back, or whether Kay would be seeing more people - be it her employees or those who came to discuss business.
Before that, however, she explored the place.
She went to the bookshelf and saw a few books on finance and management amongst the files and some basic decoration. She then wondered why it would be there. To show off, perhaps? That didn't make sense because Mama wasn't the pretentious kind.
The books wouldn't be something Mama would need to read up since she's the CEO. From what Mama said as well, she could retain any information she read or saw. 
On a hunch, Lianne took one book to flip through it.
Upon opening it, however, she found that it wasn't a book, but one of those secret hiding places. Unlike what she had seen before (online, that is), it wasn't just a simple hollowed-out space within the book, but it actually had a vault in it. 
Lianne was curious, but not *that* curious, so she put it back. It wasn't like she could open it anyway. 
Mama really did have so many 'spy spy' stuff.
Lianne, on the other hand, preferred to look at it from the sidelines. Nice to look at but not to actually go through it. 
Too troublesome.
She preferred a quiet life, really.
No drama, nothing unpredictable, and more importantly, no boys.
Well, not now at least.
All the boys she knew were such babies that she could not be bothered with them. Though, the boys were far better than girls, really, who tended to get all drama and talk about Kpop or whatnot.
Lianne's taste in music and interests were different from theirs, so she didn't mix very well. Thus, it added to her self-imposed isolation even more. 
It wasn't so bad, really, but there were times that she felt awkward or left out, and she tried hard not to get too bothered by it. It was getting better, really.
Just as she was lost in thought, the door opened.
Lianne sighed.
She had taken too dilly-dallied too long and now, Kay was back. She couldn't suddenly go to the room now, could she?
Lianne turned to greet Kay, then was surprised to see that there was a couple of guys following behind Kay.
One adult and one kid. 
Lianne's eyebrow raised a little bit upon seeing him, all dressed up like some mini-adult.
Kai, on the other hand, was so surprised to see her in there that he almost stumbled. He quickly caught himself, but this small gesture was already caught by Zongshu.
His eyes narrowed as he then turned to look at the girl that caused the little one to forget himself, even if it was just for a second.
Lianne, noticing this, narrowed her own eyes as well.
What was his problem?
✿ Author only posts on w.e.b.n.o.v.e.l. ✿
Joseph flung the controller onto the bed, exasperated.
After Kay and Lianne had left, he couldn't concentrate on the game at all.
No, that wasn't right.
He couldn't concentrate the moment he had seen Kay.
He flopped himself onto the bed, face down, and screamed soundlessly into the mattress. After getting that out of his system, he turned over and covered his eyes with his arm.
"What is wrong with me?" he hissed.
He wasn't really asking what was wrong with him because he knew perfectly why he couldn't concentrate. He was actually asking himself what wrong with him to even have these growing feelings.
He started hitting his forehead with his fist, then decided that enough was enough.
He went to the closet and changed his clothes. Flinging the door open, he headed towards the gym.
Two hours later, Joseph sat on the floor, leaning against the wall with sweat pouring down his face and all over. Together with the sweat, however, were tears.
He was confused, so confused.
No matter how hard he worked out, no matter what he did … her image would invade his thoughts. He had already told himself that it was not possible, so why wasn't he listening to himself??
He asked himself for the umpteenth time.
What's wrong with him?!
He let the tears flow down, not stopping them as he gathered his thoughts.
After what seemed like ages, Joseph finally got calm.
He wiped his face with the bottom of his shirt and sighed, looking at the wet stains on it. 
He had spent the first hour trying to forget Kay, as if exerting himself would magically make her go away.
He then spent the second hour just trying to sort out his feelings.
Right now, Joseph was convinced that his feelings that were growing, were just a misplaced need for love. He knew that no matter how strongly he was feeling for Kay right now, it was only temporary.
He just needed to tide over this present time.
He had said that before, but he just had to say it again now. He was a really stubborn guy, after all. 
Joseph scoffed at himself, but he was truly feeling better now after making his decision.

Hi. Thanks for dropping by. Please bear in mind that I am a new author, and English is not my first language. I am writing because I find it enjoyable, and am only now finding the courage to actually pen it out for others to read.

This is a rebirth story of a girl who had lived one life, and will experience another. Follow her along her journey of discovery: of herself, as she walks an entirely new path. Yet, at the same time, she seeks to find closure from her old life. 

World background: Current Earth, with names of countries being just Country J, Country SA etc. 

First, the MC is the typical OP character. Second, it's a slice of life story mixed with OPness of MC. If you don't like Gary Sue / OP characters, with a slow story pace, then this is not for you. 

There are elements of adventure/action, romance, some comedy and a little bit of mystery.  It is also a story about friendship and the bonds we make as we grow up.

The rating is due to certain scenes and sensitive issues from Volume 3 onwards. 

Please review. Your feedback is appreciated.

They will call you Suzy from now on. You will be in the cover of every Magazine, and travel the world. Sing at every concert hall in the world.

As my debut nears, I got really excited and nervous.

5 Years ago, I was a student from Waco Texas, living in a farmhouse, in 300 acre land of my father, and great grand daddy. My parents are businessmen, they built their businesses from the ground up.

When I was born, my Mom and Dad lived in a small apartment. They barely had savings, living meagerly,   fixed simple meals every dinner, praying and singing at bedtime. My Dad works in the construction, while my Mother is already in College when they met. They both went to Baylor University in Waco Texas.

My Dad he is the most street smart I know. After graduation, he worked all kinds of odd jobs. Became an assistant to an Engineer building and developing houses and properties in and around Waco are. When my parents married they put up their own Realty and Development Company. They buy houses and redesign them, then they eventually put it back in the market. They called it flipping houses.

I was not a shy kid, I play outside in our backyard. My Dad he loves playing baseball with me, and Football, soccer, all kinds of sports. We don't own a television, instead I learn different subjects from home school. Every morning my Mother, Joanna, sets up a table, gives me art projects, I love to color and Read, she also teaches me a very special language, Korean, she's half Korean and Scottish.  She is the heart and soul of our home.

She was a real farm girl, born in Kansas, and moved to the lonestar state, with her Parents, studied Communications. She is the best gymnast, and cheerleader in her batch. She makes the best baked goods, and can do a back flip with the very least of effort. She is the coolest and hardest working Mom in the world, in mine and Daddy's heart.

My Dad is pure Texan, born and raised, he is the goofiest Dad. He has ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), he thinks of something and just goes for it. One time he went flying a plane and jumped from it. It was the best feeling in the world, he said, "You should try it one day kid!!", his voice was pitchy and sounded super excited. I love his smile, he has a chipped tooth in front. That's why ever since he was a kid, everyone called him Chip.

My family is very close, I have three small siblings, Emmy, Brody, and Duke. They were all born in the farm, we have a big garden and a shed, we also have lots of animals, goats, sheep, horses, pigs, and chickens. Ducks are my favorite. My Dad bought each of us cows to take care of and every year baby calves are born and we celebrate birthdays with them, and bake them cakes like they're our small brothers and sisters. 


Texas is very vast, the second biggest state in America next to Alaska, but I haven't been anywhere, I go to home shool, ride my bike, take my book around the city's library. And go to the farmer's market.


In my 8th birthday, my business savvy parents, brought their dream to life and bought an old Silo and turned it into a hub of establishments, they have a bakery, a market, furniture, and household decor and collectibles, they have an office there where they meet with clients. Whatever my Mom, dreams of, my Dad conjures up to life.

They are the best parents a girl could ever have.

They supported my passions, and it was on my 9th birthday that they opened up the place to folks all around the city of Waco and beyond. I was very excited to be part of it. My very first taste of singing are with my siblings on stage. A mini concert to thank the people who celebrated the opening of our Silo's Market, bakery and restaurant. We sang "Amazing Grace".

I learned to sing and play the piano when I was 4, at the sametime I was doing ballet lessons too. 

My life is turned around when Some agent found my video of me singing in the concert.

And that's where my real story began.

Singing is her first love

She needs to fight to get her dream. 
Her fans leading her on. She started to sing, and they felt her heart, and they cried with her every word.

One guy was brave enough to follow their squad leader, he was the same guy that took the statement of the woman on the first case.

A passionate guy on his craft, he got very interested on the woman's story.

"Captain, how did she become your teacher?" he's careful with his words.

"Ask what you want." his leader keener than he thought.

"How can you fool those kids with that story. Isn't she a member of a gang that we're onto?" his squad leader chuckled.

"Agent Zero." The name made him stop thinking of anything else.

Agent Zero is the legendary founder of the current elite forces of the government. He's known to have placed full innovation on the agency that all success are still attributed to him.

Wait, isn't he a guy? And did he not die five years ago? That woman? Is he...she? 

He could not even accept the thoughts that are entering his mind but his squad leader, Agent Bo, stopped him to it.

"She's the only student he accepted. Are you familiar with the jokes about Agent Maria?" he scrunched his nose, his squad leader is now definitely messing with him.

Agent Maria is the non-existent best agent of the elite forces. The first woman accepted on the job and far excelled everyone that came before her and even the other generations.

She's been made into a big name as she is always used to taunt agents who looked like they're ready to give up on their intensive trainings.

With such words of praises, everyone considered the Agent Maria as their model agent. But in the end, she was just a made-up joke for the agents to stop whining. She was created when the force was unable to maintain the number of it's members and new recruits are failing miserably.

"Now, you're planning to pull my leg, too." He made a 'tsk, tsk' sound then disappointedly left. So boss just made everything up?

"She's Agent Maria." he looked serious but he did not look sincere either.

The young officer gave up and did not push the matter anymore. He may give him more impossible answers if he keeps pushing onto this.

When he felt like the officer would not give him any more headache, Agent Bo took the call from his phone which has been steady lit up after he walked out of the room.

"Bo," he said.

"Where's Maria?" an old man's voice came from the other line. Agent Bo opened his mouth to speak but nothing was heard from their conversation.


Meanwhile, fifteen kilometers away...

Vroooom!!!

Only the sound of the woman's bike is heard. She wove through traffic but still careful not to cause any commotion anymore.

When she arrived at the next city, she book a hotel for half a day so she can get a nap.

It was around ten in the morning when she woke up. After a quick shower, she walked out of the hotel and drove off again.

She's next seen walking towards a big building, still carrying her sling bag. 

Inside, an international bank branch has just opened and she quickly registered inside for some transaction. When she got out, half of the money she's carrying is now gone, she had it deposited on her account.

She took the stairs to the next floor and queued in line to claim her updated passport.

The day went on as normal as possible, applicants going in and out, clerks calling out numbers and some hysterical applicants demanding attention. Nothing out of ordinary.

The woman took her passport and walked out of the building, whistling as she walked towards her bike and sped away.

She next stopped at a fairly common apartment building. She shuffled for some keys on her bag and opened the room.

The contents of the room were fairly simple: a bed, a small kitchen with some utensils and a decent bathroom. Everything else looked plain.

Except that when she laid down on her bed and opened her eyes, a brief flash of light swept past her eyes before the bed moved, revealing a hidden room underneath.

She smacked her lips before she descended the stairs. The hidden room occupied at least five times the size of the room above.

Everything is at par with the current technology right now. An entertainment system, a security monitoring unit and even has a mini-armory.

She grabbed some water from the mini-bar as she cooked a pot of noodles. She topped it with two soft-boiled eggs, some carrots and cabbages then carried it to her entertainment room.

A little while more and the familiar music of Doraemon can be heard on the room. Looking onto the lady, she had her eyes closed, sleeping comfortably.

She woke up with a jerk when she felt a sharp pain on her lower abdomen. She curled her body and stayed on fetal position for a couple of minutes.

When she felt like she can handle the pain again, she stood up, walked to the bathroom and gasped.

She found only one sanitary pad on her stock, which mean she has to go out and buy a new stock. And it happened on the day she didn't want to move!

She grabbed some pain medication on the cabinet nearby, gulped some water and swallowed the tablet. After a quick change, she walked out from her upper room wearing white loose shorts, a black and blue plaid tank top and flip-flops.

She just left her keys inside and locked the door. She walked past a pot of a bonsai lemon tree. Looking closer, the pot has a lot of pins stuck on it.

There's a nearby shop two blocks away from her apartment. The time showed 09:13 at night when she entered. The shop owner stays on the counter which is situated near the door.

She walked around, looking for her target. She grabbed five packs, got some cup noodles as well and ordered  some hotdog on stick to eat while she walks home.

She paused walking when she felt another pain on her lower abdomen. Ugh, menstrual cramps are more annoying than getting a gunshot wound, she thought.

When she turned to buy more pain medication, three burly guys held onto her and forcefully pulled her away from the area. She tried to escape their grasp but her stomach cramps are also too painful to handle so she got overpowered.

They found an empty place and tied her to a chair. Someone came and covered her face with a soaked towel. Her eyebrows furrowed when she realized what the drug was and struggled to break free.

Hehe, that will take a couple of minutes before you get me down. Chloroform doesn't work that fast, this is not a TV show, she smirked while still struggling. 

But maybe it was just not her lucky day and after a few minutes of struggle, with her cramps intensifying and her body not fully rested, she began to waver and got herself enveloped in darkness.

Hi, I'm Mayu. No, I'm Yumi. Well, I'm Mayumi. I guess I'm both. I'm a nurse. I'm a writer. I'm still both. I'm single and ready to mingle. But I'm married? O-okay. I think I need to speak to my brother. Oh, you're not? Let me speak to my grandfather then. What? Why would I speak to him? He's my boyfriend? I thought I'm married. What's happening? I'm Mayu. Yumi. No. Hey! Who are they? Why are they here? This is my story. What's happe- *beep*

"…You're going to go through all of these?"

The Mercenary King urgently chased behind Cale, who was heading toward the center of the area that was full of thousands of books. He seemed to be nervous.

"Cale, I remember what you told me when you made me the offer."

Bud Illis recalled the things Cale told him the first time they met.

"You asked me to show you the Directory."

The Directory was not a file that even the Mercenary King could easily show others. However, he still brought Cale here, even acting stealthily in the process.
There was a simple reason for it.

"You said you needed to know the White Star's history."

Cale turned his head and looked toward the Mercenary King.

The Mercenary King flinched.

It was because Cale's eyes did not look human for a moment.

They were cold and emotionless. It was as if he was looking at an object.
However, those thoughts quickly disappeared once Cale started to speak.

Cale had not told the Mercenary King much information about the White Star. However, it was time to share some details.

"The White Star is a reincarnator who has gone through many lives for approximately 1,000 years."

That was enough.
Cale confirmed the Mercenary King's expression changing before turning back around and heading toward the records.

Bud just blankly stared at Cale's back.

Pat. Pat.

He only returned to his senses and started to speak after the ancient Dragon patted his shoulders before walking past him. The ancient Dragon was approaching Cale.

"…Eruhaben-nim, are you saying the White Star is someone who repeatedly died and was born again?"
"Yes. He reincarnated over and over."

Eruhaben looked toward Cale who stopped in front of a desk and was looking around before continuing to speak.

"That is why we came here to look for records about him. He should have left traces throughout the Eastern and Western continents during his reincarnations."

Bud quickly responded back.

"…There's no way that we have no records on such a strong individual."

However, Bud's lips opened and closed a few times without saying anything before he stopped hesitating and continued to speak.

"However, it is close to impossible to find traces of him in these tens of thousands of books."

As the current Mercenary King, he had the most knowledge about these records than any other living being.

"Each book has hundreds of people listed in it. It is … Almost not realistic to go through hundreds of thousands of individuals."

He peeked toward Ron Molan before continuing to speak.

"Of course, I have a good knowledge of all of the strong individuals in the past fifty years. Those are considered the, 'currently recording,' information."

Ron Molan was an example of a strong individual from the Eastern continent whose traces had disappeared.
That was why the Mercenaries Guild was keeping his record under the, 'currently recording,' status.

"…Around two hundred years might be doable, but a thousand years is just-"
"Bud."

Someone cut him off.
It was Cale.

"Where is the first-ever record?"

"Haaaaaaaaa."

Bud sighed at Cale who seemed ready to start looking from the first-ever record. He quickly walked over to Cale.

"Cale, are you planning on spending the next few years in here? Hmm?"

Bud was getting frustrated.
He didn't understand why such a smart person would pick such a method.

"I'm sure it will be helpful to look up his past since the White Star is a reincarnator. However, there are 1,000 years worth of records."

Bud picked up a book from the bookshelf and opened it up.

"It has each strong individual's birth, date, and general information about their lives. Furthermore, we also record the powers they use. Each book has hundreds of such records."

Bud had felt like he was going to suffocate when he first became the Mercenary King and came in here.
He was overwhelmed by the information.

At the same time, it helped him understand how the Mercenaries Guild was able to remain a strong force in the Eastern continent without having any land of their own.

They had records that were just as valuable as land.
In some aspects, this was the scariest power.
That was the overwhelming nature of these records.

Bud started to point out the issues in Cale's plans one by one.

"Even if you start reading from the first record, it would be difficult to remember the first strong individual in the book by the time you are only a third of the way through it."

Even a person with a good memory would find it difficult to remember over thirty people's information.
Just looking through three of the books would make it confusing to remember which information belonged to whom.

"Furthermore, how do you plan on finding traces of the White Star? How will you be able to tell which strong individual was the White Star's first incarnation?"

Bud had smelled quite a number of scents coming from the White Star.
He had a variety of ancient powers like Cale such that it was difficult to accurately pinpoint everything.

"Plus, Cale, don't you need to quickly capture the White Star? What you are trying to do will require a bunch of people working nonstop for months, no, years to achieve."

It was impossible to just read and remember all of these records.
You had to divide up the task with others.

Bud then said the thing that confused him the most.

"I'm sure you know about this fact more than anybody else. So why are you doing this?"

Cale picked up the book that Bud pulled out and turned the pages.

Shhh.

The pages that were stiff like new books thanks to the preservation magic quickly turned one by one.
Bud who was watching this could not help but speak again.

"Cale Henituse, this-"
"It's fine for me."

Bud flinched.

He was not the only one.
The rest of the group who were busy looking around at the area focused on Cale.
Bud asked the calm Cale a question.

"…What?"

'What did he just say?
He is capable of doing what I just talked about?
But how?
…I don't smell such an ability on him.'

Bud looked at Cale smile as Cale stopped looking at the book and turned back toward him.

"First, one week."

Cale did not plan on staying here for a long time either.

"I will find the first within that time."

The strong individual he believed to be the first incarnation of the White Star.
If he finds that person's birth and death, then he just needed to look for the next information based on the time of death.

Cale's group knew about the White Star's Dragon Slayer powers and ancient powers. Of course, Bud did not know the details because none of them had told him yet.
Cale's group had a decent amount of knowledge on the White Star's powers.
That was why it was possible to find the first incarnation.

"…How? How will you find the first incarnation?"

Cale chuckled while looking at Bud who was standing there with a blank expression on his face.
It was similar to the expressions people had when Kim Rok Soo had first awakened.

Kill or be killed.
Live or let live.

The war between monsters and humans.
The war between humans and humans.

It was a world full of destruction because of all of that.

Kim Rok Soo had been determined to have awakened an ability that was useless in such a world, an ability that would only help him in a peaceful world.

However, that power allowed Kim Rok Soo to keep living without dying.
He confidently answered the confused Bud's question.

"Take a look."

He then asked.

"Where is it?"

Bud stood there quietly for a while before pointing to a location.

"The innermost shelf. The first book on the bottom left."

Cale walked toward the location Bud had pointed out.

"That book is the first record."

He heard Bud's voice coming from behind him as he pulled out the first book from the bookshelf. He then started to turn the pages.

Flip, flip.

Only the sound of pages turning could be heard.
Cale just stood there reading.

"…Ho."

Bud let out a gasp at Cale's actions. However, he made eye contact with the others before walking toward the innermost bookshelf as well.
He needed to help Cale.
He couldn't just stand there and do nothing.

However, the group of people heading toward Cale had to stop.
Bud was the first to stop.
Next were Eruhaben, Choi Han, Ron, and Beacrox.
Even the children averaging nine-years-old flinched.

Flip, flip, flip.

They just heard the sound of pages turning.
That was why they felt that something was off.

Flip, flip, flip.

It was quiet around Cale.
He was just quietly turning the pages.

That was the weird part.

Bud had no choice but to ask.

"…What is up with his speed?"

Flip. Flip.

At first, it didn't seem very odd.
Cale was turning pages at a reasonable pace.

'…It was as if he was reading a novel.'

Bud then realized that it had been weird from the beginning.

Flip. Flip. Flip.

Cale was slowly turning the pages faster and faster. It seemed as if he was just taking a peek before turning the page.
Bud even had this kind of thought.

'Is he not thoroughly going through and remembering the details about each strong individual?
Is he just quickly skimming through?'

However, the feeling Cale was giving off did not seem that way.
He seemed to be thoroughly reading.

"Cale."

Cale raised his head after hearing someone calling his name.
The ancient Dragon observed Cale's eyes with an odd expression on his face. Cale's expression was same, but his eyes felt cold.
The ancient Dragon could not ask many questions. He used his memory of everything Cale had done as the basis to ask.

"You're remembering all of it, right?"

'You're not just skimming it, you actually remember the information, right?'

Cale answered the ancient Dragon's question.

"Of course."

Cale answered in his usual nonchalant way before resuming reading. His reddish brown eyes looked at the text inside the book.

Flip.

He turned a page.
The information on the page became recorded in his mind. The speed continued to increase.

Bud could only quietly watch Cale.

'…What a scary ability.'

He really thought that this ability was scary.
It was different than the fancy magic, destructive aura, and even the different types of ancient powers. This ability was something that was not visible.

It was so unnoticeable that you would not even realize that he was using an ability if you did not look closely.

It was not an ability that could kill someone, but Bud thought that this ability was really the one that would make it easy to kill or control someone.

Everything would be recorded in the user's mind.

Bud could only gulp and watch.
However, he soon heard someone walking.

"Cale-nim."

Cale raised his head after hearing the cautious calling. Choi Han was looking at him.

"What is it?"
"I wish to help."

Choi Han smiled awkwardly at Cale who was looking at him and continued to speak.

"Of course, I am a slow reader and my memory is not that good, but I thought I could still help."

Cale recalled some memories of his past.

'Team leader-nim, shall I help?'
'Isn't it time to go home?'
'Nah, it's okay.'
'Like hell it's okay. Isn't your kid waiting for you at home? Go home.'
'But…'
'It's fastest and most accurate for me to do it. You don't need to do this part.'

He moved the conversation he had with one of his subordinates to a corner of his mind as he raised his hand.
He then pointed to the second bookshelf.

"I think it would be good to look through there."

It was rare for Cale to not give detailed orders.
However, Choi Han smiled and walked over to the second bookshelf. Eruhaben and Beacrox followed behind him.

Ron stood next to Cale and just looked at him.
Ron's gaze made Cale subconsciously start to speak.

"…What is it? Are you shocked that I have an ability like this?"

Cale closed his mouth after saying that. He was thinking that he said something he should not have said.
He heard Ron responding to him.

"Well, I'm sure you just hid it, young master-nim."

Ron had a benign smile on his face as he continued to speak.

"It's not like you told us how you gathered all of those ancient powers either."

The shield, the fiery thunderbolt, the Super Rock, etc.

Cale had never explained to the group how he had gained all of these ancient powers. He always just disappeared before returning with an extra ancient power.

Cale had a random thought that it would be frustrating to have a group member like himself. The old man continued to speak as Cale found it even harder to say anything after having that thought.

"Looking at the books like the others is not my task."

Ron continued to speak to the twenty years old Cale who was quietly looking at him.

"I am your servant, young master-nim. Tending to your needs by your side is my role."

Ron then just quietly stood next to Cale.
Cale quietly looked at Ron for a moment before turning back to the book.

"…I guess that is your role."

Cale also realized what his role was as well.

Flip. Flip.

He was quickly turning pages as he heard another voice.

"I, the great and mighty Raon Miru can read quickly! My memory is good as well! I am smart, great, and mighty! That is why I will do it too!"
"…I…I learned how to read from Hans and grandpa Ron! I'm going to do it too!"
"I'm already reading one!"
"Noona, you really are amazing!"

Cale chuckled while listening to the children averaging nine-years-old.

However, the large records library soon became quiet.

Flip. Flip.

Only the sound of pages being turned could be heard.
Cale then heard Beacrox ask a question.

"What exactly are we looking for?"

Cale thought about the White Star.

"Gather any record on strong individuals who use the Dragon Slayer's powers or ancient powers."

A response came from someone else.

"Is that power the Dragon Slayer's power?"

It was Bud. He touched his nose as he walked over to the second bookshelf.

"The White Star had a unique scent along with the scent of ancient powers. Then I should help as well."

Bud thought about the information he gathered on the White Star through his scent and turned a page.

However, there was a unique sound through the process.

Flip, flip, flip.

It was the sound of pages turning extremely quickly.
Bud imagined Cale becoming a living record as he focused on reading the record in front of him.

'Mm.'

Ron groaned internally.

This was an area where the temperature was maintained all the time.
There should be no reason for someone to sweat.

He moved his hand.
The handkerchief in his hand landed on someone's forehead.

'…Why is he sweating so much?'

Ron Molan could see Cale who was sweating profusely.
Cale's face had become extremely red as well.

The records storage area was chilly, but Cale was heating up as if he was sick.
However, he did not stop and continued to record the information.

There were close to ten thousand record books behind his back as if they were his footprints.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel.
[The Birth of a Hero].

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.

“…This is going to be a problem.”

I feel like something serious has happened to me.

But it was worth trying to make this my new life.

Leylin and Kaliweir discussed the finer details and then bade farewell to each other.

Leylin contemplated deeply before deciding to go on a mission with Kaliweir and his team.

He still had a lot of potions which he did not dare to sell, so he could only seek for alternatives.

Moreover, converting the knowledge gained from learning a spell into battle experience requires a continuous process of battling.

Regarding battle experience, Kaliweir and his team’s average strength were similar to his and they also came from the same region. Everyone also knew each other beforehand which was naturally better than being with an unfamiliar group of people.

Furthermore, Kaliweir has undergone a long period of arduous training and has learnt a lot. Since he could be considered to have an abundant of experience, Leylin was more at ease with his team.

“When I master the spell model, my plan is to follow Kaliweir and his team on a mission and accumulate some experience. After that, I’ll leave the academy on my own and seek alternative ways……”

Returning back to his dorm, Leylin picked up the Umbra’s Hand spell book.

The yellow cover of the spell book was extremely sturdy like leather, and there were some patterns on it which sent an icy cold feeling from Leylin’s fingertips into his body.

The book was tightly bound by a metal chain and the ends were clipped in the fashion of a belt.

“Learning the Umbra’s Hand requires research in Shadow energy and Evocation. I’ve learned both long ago!”

Via selling potions, Leylin continuously improved his knowledge by acquiring advanced information on the Shadow element and studying them.

“The incantation for opening it – Mansidala!” Leylin spoke in a low voice.

After hearing the incantation, the book suddenly trembled and, amidst the trembling, the black chains automatically untied by themselves and the pages started to flip through.

“A.I. Chip, begin recording the information!”

Leylin continuously looked at the spell book containing the model of Umbra’s Hand. Only after quickly flipping through it once and hearing the notification from the A.I. Chip that it had fully recorded the content, did he put the book down.

“The construction of a spell model is the foundation for a Magus to cast spells. This process includes a series of complex variation as well as the precise construction of the spell model itself. To learn a spell, 3 months is needed at the very least!”

As he learned of the difficulty for a Magus to cast spells, Leylin sighed. Without the A.I. Chip, he could only learn to cast spells after countless attempts and failures.



“How long will it take?”

“106 Hours 32 Minutes! That is the equivalent of four to five days, this speed is extremely fast!” Leylin nodded his head.

He stood up, patted his body, and placed the two spell books away neatly.

He then walked to one side of his dorm. Originally, this section was utilised for reception or other uses but Leylin changed it into a mini experiment lab for potion brewing.

Although it was rather dangerous to experiment here, with the A.I. Chip he could guarantee that nothing would go wrong.

“I’m going on a mission in a few months’ time! I better focus on brewing a few potions as preventive measures for sudden events!”

Leylin lit a candle and begun his potion brewing.

The education system in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was rather loose. From what Leylin saw, it was most similar to the ancient times of one teacher to one student.

The academy was only providing land and the most basic of services. As for everything else, like acquiring advanced information, one had to learn from a professor, the chances of which were very slim.

Moreover, there weren’t any compulsory missions that one must take on. As long as a person could pay the school fees and did not meet a bad professor, one could normally stay here for 5 years!

Of course, when there was no motivation, one’s power would lessen as they did not seek to improve. At least in Leylin’s case, he had not come across such a wonderful thing like receiving a few pieces of magic crystals each month for free.

To obtain magic crystals, one could only take up a mission and go outside of the academy using their life to fight for them!

The world of Magus has always upheld the principles of fair trade.

In the following dozen days or so, Leylin devoted his time to analysing the spell models and purchasing items like grains and nutrients for the mission he was going to take up.

One afternoon, Leylin came to the spell experimenting area.

“The spell experimenting area is a place that the academy has specially set up for acolytes and Magi to test the prowess of their spells. After all, various spells have immense might and there is also the problem of radiation. If the experiments are not managed properly the academy will be blown to bits!”

The spell experimenting area was located on the left-most of the academy, a remote area.

The surrounding white marble rock walls were stacked neatly and seemed to be extremely sturdy.

Various runes were written on these walls, two of which Leylin recognised. One was for the isolation of radiation contamination, and the other was for reinforcing the walls.

“Are you going to test your spells?” Leylin walked to a counter where a big, bald guy smiled jovially at him asking.

“Yes, I would like to. Are there any places for me to do so?”

“We have two large areas designated for the acolytes and Magi. You are only allowed to enter the area for acolytes and, within that area, space is divided into shared and single rooms. Shared rooms mean experimenting with your spells alongside another person. There might be interruptions caused by this but, it is inexpensive. As for single rooms, the fees are much more costly!”

“What are the rates for a single room?” Leylin asked.

The baldy’s eyes shone since it was obvious that there was a promising client here, “Three hours for 1 magic crystal. Our single rooms even have specialised measuring devices which can calculate and report the might of your spells. Furthermore, we have…… It’s absolutely worth it!”

“Give me one!” Leylin handed over a magic crystal to the big guy.

“Alright! Please hold on!” The big guy registered him quickly and handed back a black crystal-like item.

“This is your room card! Number 32!”

Leylin nodded his head and entered the spell experimenting area.

On both sides, the runes on the white marbles glowed with a sparkling light. Some of the rooms obviously had occupants, but there were no sounds coming out from them and only the sound of Leylin’s footsteps could be heard the corridor.

“As expected! The noise isolation is really effective!”

Leylin nodded his head and, after locating his own room, swiped the black crystal on a black platform right outside the door!

*Ka-cha!* The door opened and a mechanical female voice sounded, “Welcome! You have three hours; please notice the allocation……”

The interior of the room was huge! The area was similar in size to a basketball court from Leylin’s previous life.

In the middle were a few human shaped targets wearing leather armour, metal armour and fur.

To the far right, there was a screen on the wall and below it was the instructions on how to operate it.

– A Magus can attack a target with a spell, and the screen will automatically record the power of the spell. –

“The facilities here are very advanced and seem to have an intelligence of their own. However, it’s a pity that it is formed by magic, a different route from what my previous world took!” Leylin exclaimed silently.

“Let’s try with a physical attack first!”

Leylin’s muscles on his right arm bulged as he walked to the front of a white coloured target wearing leather armour.

* Bang !* Leylin moved and, with a low voice, he shouted and punched the middle of the leather armour, leaving a faint trace of an impression.

The screen on the right flickered, and a few words appeared.

“Classification: Physical Attack. Degree of power: 2. Damage to target: Minimal.”

“It seems like these targets aren’t made of common materials!” Leylin muttered to himself.

“Degree of power” is the official standard that Magi use to measure the extent of their might. A single unit, as a standard, is equivalent to the energy that can be completely released by 1 gram of magic crystal.

“This method of measurement isn’t bad. A.I. Chip, in the future you can increase the content regarding this area!”



“Ha!” Leylin pulled out the cross blade hanging on his waist and brought about a strong gale as he viciously cut down.

* Qiang! * A gap split opened on the leather armour revealing the white coloured wound beneath.

“Classification: Physical Attack. Degree of power: 3. Damage to target: Slight.”

Seeing the screen, Leylin nodded his head, “I used all my might to cut down with the cross blade earlier but it only gave this kind of damage to the target! It seems like I can put my mind at ease and learn magic!”

“A.I. Chip, transmit the 2 spell models over!” After this period of continuous research, the A.I. Chip had already analysed the 2 spells completely. The last step was to transmit the information into Leylin’s hippocampus1 which would then enable him to grasp these two rank 0 spells immediately.





Every step felt extremely familiar. It was as if they were personally practiced by him countless of times.

“Bring out the data of these 2 rank 0 spells!”

“Acidic Aqua Shot: rank 0 spell. Casting time: 3 seconds. Effective distance: 7 Metres. Consumption: 2 spiritual force, 2 magic power”

“Umbra’s Hand: rank 0 spell. Casting time: 4 seconds. Effective distance: 10 Metres. Consumption: 2 spiritual force, 2 magic power”

“magic power is the amount of energy particles that are stored within the body. It is limited by the upper limits of the spiritual force!”

To cast a spell, one does not only need to use their spiritual force as a primer but must also understand that the magic power within their body will be consumed as well.

Leylin suppressed his excited emotions, “A.I. Chip, Record in detail my spell casting process !”

“Pandora – Graygonger!”

With the Byron language’s incantation sounding from Leylin, a ball of dark green liquid suddenly appeared at the upper area of his right hand. White bubbles continuously frothed outside of it.

“Let’s go!” Leylin flung the acidic ball in his hand and the green liquid streaked across in an arc, landing on a target wearing leather armour.

* Ssssii! Ssssii! *

The corrosion of the physical target sounded nonstop as it continuously dissolved while emitting a huge amount of white smoke. At the same time, an odour that pricks at the sense of smell wafted in all directions.

After a few seconds, the human target had been corroded, leaving only a pair of white legs behind.

“A.I. Chip, estimate the degree of power!”

Leylin turned to look at the screen at the right. At this moment, the words on the screen changed and a new record was shown.

“Classification: Magical corrosive attack. Degree of power: 5. Damage to target: Severe.”

“En! It seems like the A.I. Chip and this screen have the same estimated values so I won’t need to come here in future. I should be able to estimate the degree of power in my spells with the A.I. Chip.”

Leylin nodded his head and begin experimenting with another spell.

“Umbra’s Hand!”

Following Leylin’s incantation, a black coloured hand suddenly appeared under a target which wore steel armour. It grabbed the target’s throat forcefully and, with a crashing sound, the target’s head fell onto the ground.

“Classification: Energy attack. Degree of power: 4. Damage to target: Severe.”


Leylin is transported from an advanced technological era into a medieval world— except there’s magic. Equipped with only his quick wits and an A.I. chip fused to his soul, he sets out to become the most powerful magus the world has ever known. In a land divided into the Light and Dark Magi, the weak can either be cattle or disposable slaves. Only the strong can determine their lives, and only they have the luxury for virtue. Yet strength is only a tool for Leylin, like any other. His goal, in the end, is his own.

An awesome MC — that’s what happens!

A scientist’s goal is to explore the secrets of the universe, and this is exactly what Leylin sets out to do when he is reincarnated. Dark, cold and calculating, he makes use of all his resources as he sets off on his adventures to meet his goal.

Face? Who needs that… Hmmm… that guy seems too powerful for me to take on now… I better keep a low profile for now.

You want me to help you? Sure… but what benefit can I get out of it? Nothing? Bye. 

Hmmm… that guy looks like he might cause me problems in the future. Should I let him off for now and let him grow into someone that can threaten me….. Nahhh. *kill*

Li Xiandao was really engrossed in the book and the figure that appeared behind him didn't disturb him either. It just looked at him silently.
Only after Li Xiandao fully recorded the Book of War did he notice the figure.
"You are the Book of War?" Li Xiandao asked.
"Yes, I am." The person was a middle-aged man with neatly-combed, black hair. He wore a long robe and looked really solemn. His expression seemed really fierce; he didn't look like a person who was easy to get close to.
But this was only an outer appearance that didn't have much to do with how he really was deep down.
The Book of War said, "You are the new owner of the Bank of the Universe?"
Li Xiandao nodded his head.
"The last Master loaned us all out, so can you redeem us all back? How long have you taken over the bank for?" The Book of War asked.
Li Xiandao thought about it and said, "Around a month!"
"Hmm, it is still a really short time, but since you could redeem the depository, it shows that you have done well. At least you are different from the last owner." Book of War didn't bother to hide his disdain and dislike towards the last owner.
Li Xiandao asked, "Since you gave birth to your own consciousness and are in charge of this giant book empire, can you help me with something?"
The Book of War asked curiously, "What help do you need?"
After all, this was the new owner and he seemed decent, so the Book of War was willing to try to get close.
If he was the same as the last owner, then the Book of War was planning to sleep for another 10,000 years or so.
"Help me train an invincible army." Li Xiandao said as he stared at the Book of War. 
The Book of War was the most suitable book for an army to learn from and along with the invincible war formation techniques in it, the army would be unstoppable.
The Book of War asked with a weird expression, "Help you to train an army?"
"Right, help me to train an army." Li Xiandao nodded his head.
"I am very strict when I train an army and normal people can't take it. Even if they can, if they don't meet my requirements, then I won't train them either." The Book of War said proudly.
"I promise that you will be satisfied with this army." Li Xiandao smiled confidently.
"Stop talking so big. What I care most about is talent; their talent can't be weak. Next is coordination, the mutual connection between one another. Some connections are natural and can't be trained up." The Book of War said calmly.
Li Xiandao continued to smile confidently, "You won't find any army more connected than mine."
The Book of War looked towards him with a weird expression, "Stop bragging."
"You will find out whether or not I am bragging when you see them. Let's go right now." Li Xiandao invited.
"Okay, I want to see if that is really the case or not. If they meet my requirements, I will train them. I will teach them all the strong formations, cultivation techniques, and ancient techniques." The Book of War said.
Li Xiandao led the way out of the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository and the Book of War followed behind him.
They came to the mountain peak where the Time Hall was. 
Li Xiandao invited the Book of War to enter, "You will understand once you enter."
Book of War's main body was a book. He flew in mid-air and an illusionary body floated in front of him. This body was his spirit.
He pushed open the door and felt a flame surge towards it. Under the intense heat of the flames, he looked on in shock.
Mini Flame Kings!
10,000 mini Flame Kings!
They were all lined up. They were of the same size, looked the same, had the same talent, and were all connected to one another...
All these Flame Kings were created from one father and they looked the exact same. As for connections to one another, one didn't even have to think about it.
The Book of War took one look and was stunned. He hadn't felt such excitement in a really long time. 
"Say no more, I will be their teacher, I will train them into the strongest army in the world. Even the Celestial King will be easily crushed." The Book of War praised them. He had so much love for these 10,000 mini Flame Kings right now.
The potential they had was just too high and he would be in charge of teaching them right from the start.
They wouldn't need too much training and would become an invincible presence.
The Book of War found his past passion. He had a new target, which was to create an invincible army.
Li Xiandao smiled in satisfaction. After he read the contents of the Book of War, he knew right away that it was the most suitable teacher for the mini Flame Kings. 
With it, the mini Flame Kings' future was much better than their father.
"From now onwards, you will be their teacher, coach, and mentor. I will hand them over to you." Li Xiandao said seriously.
The Book of War said solemnly, "Give me some time and I will return you an invincible army."
Li Xiandao nodded his head in satisfaction and took in a deep breath, "The most important thing is to have a meeting to discuss their future lives."
The Book of War didn't understand why Li Xiandao wanted to discuss this, but he didn't object.
...
The Bank of the Universe's first meeting!
President: Li Xiandao!
Secretary: Seven!
Members: Battle Angel Michael! White Emperor Tian Guangming! Archangel Gabriel! Heaven Heart! Book of War!
These were all the members of the first meeting of the Bank of the Universe. 
There was a long table in the Trading Hall. Li Xiandao sat down and said, "The main matter to be discussed today is the Flame Kings."
The other people didn't say a word and listened quietly.
Book of War frowned, "Is there a problem with them?"
Li Xiandao looked towards Seven.
Seven laughed awkwardly and said, "Everything is alright with them. The only problem is that they eat too much."
Everyone was stunned.
They eat too much?
What did that mean?
"10,000 of them consume a million God Source a day. This is already old data. Now that they have grown up, their rate of consumption has increased to two million a day. The treasures we got from the Ancient Dragon Tomb can only last for half a month." Seven said helplessly.
The Book of War was silent.
He didn't expect that they would consume so much!
He also knew that Li Xiandao had just taken over and didn't have many resources, so they had to solve this problem quickly.
Michael and Tian Guangming were shocked. They didn't expect them to consume so much.
Heaven Heart and Gabriel were taking care of them from the start, so they knew about it. They just kept silent.
"All of you know that we can't afford them, at least not now, so we have to think of a way." Li Xiandao knocked on the table.
Seven's eyes shone, "Master, I know a place that can fit them."
Li Xiandao looked at Seven in shock and asked, "What place?"
The others all looked at Seven.
What kind of place would be able to fit 10,000 mini Flame Kings?


Li Xiandao obtained the ancient Bank of the Universe, but the bank was now totally empty and there were no treasures at all. The only thing it held: a bunch of debts.
The Eternal Celestial King borrowed a supreme celestial artifact, promising to pay it back in two pieces in 3,000 years. He will pay an additional piece for every 1,000 years after the expiry date!
Moon Celestial loaned a high-quality face, to be returned in 10,000 years. If overdue, she will pay with her life!
Time Immemorial Sage loaned 10,000 years in life from the Bank of the Universe in order to break through. After he breaks through, he will pay back 10,000 years. If late, he must pay back 10 times the amount!
Li Xiandao looked at these debts and at the empty Bank of the Universe. He made his mind up to become a true expert, to find all these supreme beings to get back the overdue debts one by one!
A powerless mortal had became the biggest creditor in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and even the entire Celestial World!
