A Cyborg Scientist and his Android creation protect the world from the hands of an Evil Scientist and his Robot minions. See as they get into some hijinks and drama throughout their adventure

"Now, should I continue forward, or return to the safety zone?"

Zhang Ye only contemplated for two seconds before he decided to continue his journey through this long, narrow basin.

Before he set off, check if he forgot any loot before continue his journey.

After making his preparations, just as he was about to set off, Zhang Ye suddenly turned his head to look at the entrance of the ravine.

A round of hurried footsteps rang out. Three unfamiliar men happened to be looking in Zhang Ye's direction with their eyes wide, mouths agape.

"Damn, someone actually got here before us!" a tall, muscular man with a short buzzcut said in disbelief.

The leader of the group was another man with a tall, slim build, his appearance handsome. He creased his brow, saying, "Old Gang, didn't you say this place was hard to find and wouldn't be discovered by others? How do you explain this?"

On the other hand, this man addressed as Old Gang was short in stature, with an oval face and pointed mouth. Who knows if he was malnutritioned when he was young; he looked like he didn't mature fully.

Looking at the desolate grass field in front of them, and Zhang Ye who was about to start his adventure , Old Gang was depressed beyond words. He thought this place he had discovered by chance was hard enough to find, and the Elephorses here were as good as theirs! Alas, someone else had discovered this place as well, and from the looks of it, he had already wiped out the Elephorses here.

"Zhang-shao¹, I didn't think someone else would discover this place either."

"What bad luck!" A hint of anger flashed across Zhang-shao's handsome face. "It would've been fine if we rushed here through the night yesterday; the Elephorses here wouldn't have fallen into others' hands."

"Zhang-shao, why don't we rob his ass?" The buzzcut man revealed a savage appearance, eagerly looking at Zhang Ye who was standing about a hundred meters ahead.

In his train of thought, it was no big deal that the Elephorses were killed by others first. Rather, it saved them energy. Everything was fine if they just snatched them directly. With their group's strength and Zhang-shao's name, did they have to be worried that that kid over there wouldn't submit to them?

"Rob his ass? Why don't you rob his grandmother too, while you're at it!²" Zhang-shao turned to stare at the buzzcut man angrily, before saying earnestly, "Xiaoru, I've said this many times before: you must use your brain before doing anything. Why can you never remember that? Do you think that someone who could hunt a herd of Elephorses by himself is someone to be messed with so easily?"

The fierce-looking man called Xiaoru immediately chuckled, mumbling, "I saw that that kid only level 2-3 warrior and thought he was some trash. I didn't think he'd know how to act weak. Luckily Zhao-shao is wise, and saw through him with a glance."

Zhang-shao couldn't be bothered with this fellow whose brain was all muscles. Putting on a kindly smile on his handsome face, he walked over towards Zhang Ye with long strides.

"Come, we'll go meet this expert, and see if we can buy those monster core off him."

Ever since the three of them had appeared by the entrance, Zhang Ye's eyes were narrowed slightly.

From the looks of it, these people didn't come here with kind intentions!

The distance between the two parties were only around a hundred meters, and Zhang Ye happened to be able to see there level.

Hhe was able to tell what level of this group, the group level at least level 3, with a couple of them even as high as level 5!

This also meant that these three warrior were at level three, level Four, and level Five. One low-level, and two-mid level warrior a strong party.

What made Zhang Ye feel a slightly nervous was that the level Five warrior armor and weapon  weren't of trash quality either; there was even one that was gold-quality.

Not to mention others, just that  gold-quality weapon alone could roll over Zhang Ye with ease.

But Zhang Ye wasn't afraid!

Looking at their expressions, it was likely that they had realized that he'd massacred the herd of Elephorses. With that, they had no way of knowing his power level. Even if they had any designs on him, they would restrain themselves.

Moreover, Zhang Ye still Breath of Thunder Style wave attack. If he made a sudden attack, although he couldn't dare guarantee he'd kill the three of them in an instant, there was a good chance of severely injuring them. After that, he only had to quickly finish them before they could react. no matter how powerful they are , they were nothing more than drifting clouds in his hand.

Not having sufficient individual speed was the greatest weakness of warrior!

Once they left the beast worlds, if caught unprepared, even a high tier warrior couldn't win against a sniper rifle bullet.

This was also an important reason why after the world had changed so drastically, the state of the Hua Xia region was still so stable. Due to gun restriction laws, the army was akin to the Sword of Damocles hovering over the heads of every warrior and mage. No one dared to challenge the dignity of the army.

From what Zhang Ye knew, in the Hua Xia region where guns had spread unchecked, there would be shootings every day. Many powerful beastmasters didn't die in fights against exotic beasts. Instead, they fell to the shots of their fellow men! It truly left one sighing in regret.

The party of three stopped for a short while. After conversing for a little, they walked directly towards Zhang Ye. Looking at their attitudes, it didn't looked like they were going to attack him.

Even so, Zhang Ye didn't dare to lower his guard. He was on alert, ready to strike at any moment.

The three approached, and the handsome young man in the middle smiled politely, greeting Zhang Ye first. "Let's get to know each other. I am Zhang Yujie, the young master of Tian Lan Ding Feng Corporation. How should I address this brother?"

Tian Lan Ding Feng Corporation?

As a Tian Lan native himself, Zhang Ye naturally knew of the renowned Tian Lan Ding Feng Corporation.

Before the world turned upside down, Ding Feng Corporation was already a first rate corporation in Tian Lan City. After the new age was ushered in, with their financial strength, Tian Lan Corporation quickly entered markets relevant to monster core, and grew even further.

From what Zhang Ye knew, of the beast monster core trading hubs in Tian Lan City, the Ding Feng Corporation's was the largest, apart from the one owned by the government.

Not only that, it was said that the Ding Feng Corporation cooperated with the Tian Lan military and established a exotic beast material research facility, specializing in the development of new composite materials.

Whether it was financial strength or influence, the Ding Feng Corporation was at the top of Tian Lan City.

This young man before him who identified himself as Zhang Yujie actually dared to claim to be Ding Feng Corporation's Young Master. Then he must be the son of the Ding Feng Corporation chairman, Zhang Shaochong!

As expected of the son of a rich family, he actually owned a five-star gold-quality weapon. Rich second generations were just on a different level!

"Sun Ye."

As the saying goes, you wouldn't rush to hit someone who'd already admitted fault. Since Zhang Yujie was acting so politely, it wasn't proper for Zhang Ye to ignore him, either. He nodded slightly and responded.

This name was, of course, made up.

Seeing Zhang Ye acting somewhat distant, Zhang Yujie didn't take offense, and maintained the smile on his face, asking curiously, "Nice to meet you, Brother Sun! Pardon my asking, but if my guess was right, the Elephorse herd should have been killed by you; I wonder if you're willing to sell the monster core you obtained here?"

'Is he testing me, or is he testing me?'

Zhang Ye didn't mind it, however. He nodded with a calm expression, "Sure, it makes no difference to who I sell them to. It only depends on your sincerity."

At this moment, the burly man who had been listening silently by the side stared at Zhang Ye angrily. "What do you mean by that?! Would our Zhang-shao shortchange you?"

"Silence, Xiaoru!" Zhang Yujie turned his head and chided Xiaoru, then smiled apologetically at Zhang Ye, saying, "I'm sorry. What an embarrassment this was. However, you can rest assured, Brother Sun. As for the price, I definitely won't make you take a loss!"

'Hmm? This fellow could actually keep his composure. He's not like those usual antagonistic, brain-dead rich second generations.'

Usually in novels, shouldn't this type of character use his powerful backing as a shield and bully the weak, forcefully acquiring the monster core at a horrible price, and when he spoke out against them, they would grow enraged and proceed to kill him and rob his belongings?

As expected, novels were full of lies. Who said that rich second generations were brain-dead?

The smartest ones were usually this type of people.

"Then, how much are you willing to offer?" Zhang Ye asked straightforwardly. If he could sell the monster core at market price to this young master of Ding Feng Corporation, he would be spared much trouble.

In any case, Zhang Ye was currently donning the appearance of his previous life, and he wasn't afraid of the other party finding out any information on him. All was fine as long as he had the money and was willing to pay a suitable amount.

Zhang Yujie immediately broke out in laughter, "Alright, Brother Sun is straightforward, indeed. We shan't haggle over it, either. Let's go with the market price, at three hundred thousand per monster core,how about it?"

"Deal!" Zhang Ye nodded in satisfaction.

Actually, the price of 300k per monster core was absolutely not high by any means. If he sold them separately, he could probably fetch about 320k each, but that was too troublesome. It wasted both time and energy.

To be able to sell them all in a wholesale manner for 300k each, why wouldn't he do so gladly?

"Alright, deal!" Zhang Yujie's smile grew even brighter. He asked, "I wonder how manymonster core does Brother Sun has in his hands?"

The transaction had reached a preliminary agreement, Zhang Ye finally revealed a slight smile, "Not much, only fifty-eight of them."

"Fif…."

Zhang Yujie's party couldn't resist sucking in a breath of cold air. 'Fifty-eight monster core; how many Elephorses did he have to kill to obtain that many monster core?'

What was even more horrifying was that this guy took less than half a day's time to gather that many monster core. It went to show how unfathomably strong this guy was!

Zhang Yujie swept his gaze calmly across the weapon and armor Zhang Ye, noting inwardly. 'Silver Tier Katana, one-star silver-quality armor; who knows what level warrior he was? It is probably the level 4-5 warrior.'

'Even so, it is impossible to hunt a huge herd of Elephorses with just silver tier equipment. That means, this guy's real skill are hidden away. Who knows what type of warrior he is?

(Warrior Type - Speed Type -Power Type - Defence Type -Assassin Type - Fist Type )

It went without saying that it was impossible to complete the transaction in the beast world. Both parties had to return to the safety zone first and go through the spatial gateway, returning to the real world to process such a huge transaction.

Among the party of three, only Zhang Yujie has his own mount. So after they return in safe zone its already dark.

.....

Half an hour later, a group of people passed through the spatial gateway and returned to the Tian Lan City. With a phone call from Zhang Yujie, the person in charge of Ding Feng's mall in the military zone immediately delivered a purple crystal card over.

"Brother Sun, there's 17.4 million in here. Check it."

Zhang Ye took over the crystal card and scanned it with his personal terminal. After taking a look at the number indicated on the screen, he nodded in satisfaction and opened his backpack, handing a filled cloth bag over to Zhang Yujie.

The security level on the purple crystal card was very high, and was endorsed by the Hua Xia Bank. Zhang Ye didn't have to worry that the opposite party would tamper with it and find out information about him via it.

Zhang Yujie received the cloth bag and opened it to take a look. He was almost dazzled by the stack of  monster core contained within. After checking on them, he extended his hand toward Zhang Ye.

"Brother Sun, pleasure doing business with you. If there's any more good stuff in the future, please take care of our Ding Feng Corporation."

"Definitely!"

Zhang Ye shook Zhang Yujie's hand with a smile. A pleasant transaction was successfully conducted just like that.

.....

Zhang Ye suppressed his impulse to return home and visit his family, telling her about having earned a huge sum of money. Instead, he entered the spatial gateway once more.

One week was neither a short time nor a long time. Zhang Ye had to make every second count, raising his strength as much as possible.

Thus, he could only raise his own strength as best as he could to handle that kind of unthinkable aftermath.

In the military camp, Zhang Yujie smiled thoughtfully as he watched Zhang Ye's back slowly disappear into the blue curtain of light of the spatial gateway, instructing the person who came to deliver the money, "Go check on this guy. See what kind of a person he is."

"Yes, Zhang-shao."

The person in charge nodded respectfully and took a few steps back, then turned around and headed back towards the Ding Feng Corporation's mall in the military camp.

He woke up in a familiar world that had vastly changed.

His familiar school had become a mystical school that teaches magic, encouraging everyone to become a mighty magician.

Zhang Ye from "i'm really a superstar" transported in different  mage world "Versatile Mage" with Devil Fruit System.

Now lets see him not to become Superstar but a Supermage

Everyone was surprised by the new power they were witnessing, the Armor Mode. After acquiring it Harz performs the technique "Infernal Meteor" which Rubencho tried to stop it with his technique but he couldn't before the overwhelming and unknown power, after this Thunder World tried to recover but nothing worked again and again Harz's Armor Mode was so powerful that the players felt helpless to do anything to match it; The score was 4-0 and Rubencho saw how his teammates were falling into despair, when Harz reached the goal again using the Armor Mode he performed again his technique "Infernal Meteor" but this time the young goalkeeper concentrated and said to himself: 

- I can't give up... this can't end like this, my friends, my family... I just need- at that moment the young man remembered something that the old Myokobu had told him when he was on the island: "a Monster is the extension of the player's emotions... their power is immense, the Evolx is not the only thing they can do young Rubencho... it is only up to you to discover what lies beyond, surpass your limits"; remembering this the young man took out Thunder Wing Lion again but this time he managed to turn it into a sphere and saying "Thunder Wing Lion, Armor Mode! ” Managing to access that unknown power. Everyone was surprised but even Harz, who said to himself that it was impossible for someone to master it so fast, Rubencho performed the new technique "Hyper Thunder Punch" and managed to stop the ball but immediately everyone noticed that the young man looked more tired than usual and seeing this, Zed asked Professor Burns: 

- Why does Rubencho look more tired than usual? 

- Mastering the power of Armor mode is not easy Mr. Zed, it's amazing how Rubencho was able to do it the first time - analyzing the young man with his electronic tablet - this is not good! 

- What's going on professor? 

- The Armor particles are unstable in the young man, although he managed to get it the first time, his body is not able to withstand the power of his Monster. 

Zed was worried about what the professor had mentioned but he couldn't do anything but watch, on the other hand the young goalkeeper felt how his body was losing strength but without giving up he passed the ball with the last strength he still had left to Dan who with his technique "Feather Storm" managed to evade some players giving the ball to Diego who remembered the strange Monster that Antonio had and passed the ball to him saying: "You are our last hope, show us what you have! the young man received the ball and immediately took out his Monster saying: "Guardian of Space, Star Dragon" and performed his "Breath of Stars" technique, everyone was surprised by the power of the young Monster and in response to this the goalkeeper performed again his technique "Infernal Fang" but could not stop the ball and Thunder World scored his first goal, running out of time and resulting in the defeat of our heroes. Suddenly Rubencho collapsed and Reimon and Diego managed to catch him before he fell to the ground, it was then that some soldiers appeared surrounding the building and a kind of Drone revealed a hologram of a man who said: 

- You're trapped, Professor Burns, give me back the Aion Gem! 

- Never! I won't let you destroy the world! 

- Wow, wow - looking at Rubencho almost without energy - I don't see why you're trying to save the life of someone so insignificant. 

- Only you see things that way. 

- oh! - laughing in an evil way - don't make me laugh- 

- Who is he? - asks diego 

- His name is Domec, the current head of the Styron Corporation," Professor Burns answers. 

- Well Burns... I'm sorry things ended this way, we were such friends... if only you had stayed by my side. 

- What are you talking about?" asks Reimon to Professor Burns. 

- I used to work for him... I was the head of the research room but when I realized his true plans I stole a fundamental object for his plans and I escaped. 

- that's the reason why the city is in this state, he's been looking for it for years... besides his experiments have caused part of the destruction of the city- mentions Dan. 

- Enough talk, destroy them," said Domec. 

At that moment Professor Burns activates something on his tablet that causes a machine to be activated deep inside the building that overloads the Aion gem that the man was talking about causing an immense tremor, our heroes took advantage of this confusion to escape towards the bus, it was then that an enormous rainbow light came out of the ground causing the sky to be filled with strange portals in which the Aion gem coming out of the ground separated into eleven fragments and was distributed in those portals. It was before this that our heroes got on the ship and opened another different portal and managed to escape, Domec was angry sending all his team to return to the base to rethink their plans; in the coach our heroes were confused at what they had witnessed then Rubencho who had recovered a little asked Professor Burns: 

- explain to us what is going on here? 

- ok... ahs... where do I start... ah yes of course, the Aion gem is a rock that was discovered in an excavation outside the city in the rocky mountains five years ago... at the beginning we didn't know what we had in front of us after months of experiments and investigations we realized that this strange rock possessed an immense and great power capable of changing the temporal structures... 

-And that means..." asks Diego. 

- that it is capable of changing time and space," answers Dan. 

- That was only at the beginning... then we discovered that this rock contained an unlimited amount of energy and later we discovered that this energy was compatible with that of the Monsters? 

- that means that this rock is the origin of the Monsters? asks Rubencho. 

- no... but its energy can be combined with the Monster's energy, boosting it to colossal levels," answers the professor. 

- And I guess that's what this Domec wants to do," says Reimon. 

- that's just the beginning of his plans... I discovered some horrible files, he was experimenting with some soccer players combining the power of the rock with that of the Monster but the results were disastrous, he caused the death of five young people and left twenty more in coma, none of those young people were able to control such energy, it was horrible to see the images... his ambition of power went too far. 

- And where were we," asked Diego. 

- I told them about Domec's plan, but before I could do anything he erased them from space time... I decided to escape with the rock and examine it in search of an answer, I could hide for years from Domec... when I finally found something, an ancient writing from Myokobu island, I had a hard time translating it "The power of Aion will be reborn in 11 heroes of the ancient times, only this way it will manifest itself..." it was up to there that the ancient writing could be read, the rest... it was never found, I still don't know what it means but before its arrival I discovered that the machine with which we opened time holes had a certain effect on the rock... although I didn't know that this would happen! I thought we were going to explode! 

- What! - they all said 

- I mean you risked our lives without knowing the outcome... mad scientist- they all started to complain but Rubencho gets up from his seat saying: 

- calm down... we are alive and that's what matters, there is something else... that Armor mode why did I feel like that? 

- Armor Mode is just another power of the Monsters... but it takes months to control the power of the Monster, I don't know how you did it the first time Young Rubencho but even though you did it your Armor Mode was unstable so to stabilize it for a certain time your Monster did nothing but absorb your energy- 

- Wait... you say that the Monsters have a life of their own? asks Diego. 

- no... the Monsters are the extension of the player's emotions, to perform the Armor mode they need that energy that is the Monster to synchronize with your body so it requires another considerable amount of energy to maintain it... it is not easy to achieve synchronization with the Monster, it was incredible to see how you did it without practice young Rubencho. 

- And if it is difficult to access that mode, how come that Harz can control it," asked Reimon. 

- I guess the Styron Corporation has a training for that... or they found a way to master it," answers Professor Burns. 

- Hey Dan! And can you access him," asks Diego. 

- no... not yet - not yet 

- well... and now what are we supposed to do? Escape like rats from the Styron Corporation? 

- indeed young Reimon that's what we must do but we have an even more important mission... we must collect the fragments of the Aion gem before they fall into the hands of Domec and the Styron Corporation, we must prevent the destruction of everything we know...". 

At that moment, in the Styron Corporation Domec was entering a room with a very strange capsule and he was looking at it as if it was his most valuable possession. What is Domec hiding? What is the goal of the Styron Corporation? Will our heroes be able to stop the total destruction?

Soccer, the most played sport in the world is in danger... a new team will rise to free it from the darkness in which it has fallen, and become the champions not only of the world but of all time.

Souta woke up in an unfamiliar ceiling. 

"Ah~" He yawned and he stretched his body. He felt strangely refreshed. It feels that something heavy was gone. 

It's been two days since the battle in the Desolate Woods. 

"Morning~" A sweet voice came beside him. 

Souta turned his head and saw a beautiful mature woman lying beside him. The woman has long white hair, white cat ears, and tail. 

'Ah right, I stayed in a brothel.' Souta thought. He stayed here to vent out his feelings. He wouldn't be able to control his lust if he doesn't let it out.

"Good morning," Souta replied to the woman. He then stood up and wore his clothes. 

"You're quite wild, despite your stature." The woman teased him. 

Souta could only smile wryly at her words. His height wasn't something he's proud of. For a goblin, he would consider himself a tall one but compare to humans and beastkin he was considered a short man. 

It's true that once they entered the room, he became a different person. He let his lust consumed him yesterday night. He did everything to the woman just to satisfy his desire. 

"I haven't done in a long time," Souta said and he placed five gold coins on the table. "Your tip."

"Thanks, you can visit me again and I will give you a good time." The woman said seductively. 

"Okay, I will also bring my friend, so you can recommend me to some of your friends at that time," Souta said as he exited the room.

He actually wanted to bring Bryan with him but once they entered the Ladros City Bryan disappeared like bubbles. 

"With that innocent looks, I bet he will faint when he saw a woman's naked body," Souta muttered in a low voice. 

...

He went to the market to buy Yuko some fruits and meats that she likes. After that, he went to the ranch and fed Yuko. 

He was going to skipped class today. He had other things to do, so he will worry about the class later. 

He smiled as he imagined Lumilia's face when he skipped class. After all, she reminded him and Bryan to not skip class before they parted yesterday. 

After he fed Yuko, he went inside the inn and took his bag with him. He opened his bag and saw the things inside. 

He took out two containers containing the Rotten Venomous Green Apple and the flesh of the level 20 above undead. 

"These two are for my evolution," Souta said then he took out a greenish orb.

This was the monster orb of a level 40 monster. Back then, when he was trying to get out of the Desolate Woods, he found a corpse of a monster that possessed a monster orb. So he took his time to get the monster orb. 

"With this, I will get rich," Souta muttered as he held the monster orb in his hand. He could feel the best feram inside the orb. The powerful energy of the monsters. 

With this, he wouldn't need to worry about money. He was really lucky that he found that monster. 

"I will also form my own monster orb once I've reached level 40," Souta said and he placed back the monster orb inside the bag. 

He picked up his sword and exited the room. 

...

He went outside with Yuko. He wondered where should he sell this monster orb. If he handled it wrong then a lot of people were going after his monster orb. So he should be careful and shouldn't let any other people know the monster orb. 

There were two merchants that came in his mind. It was Jimmy and the dwarf. 

Jimmy was the merchants that he met when he was traveling towards Ladros City. He's one of the first people that Souta met in this world. 

If he wasn't wrong, Jimmy was a member of the Lanny Group, a huge business corporation. 

The other one was the dwarf from the Bullmar Village. He took the escort quest at that time to go to the Bullmar Village. It was when he goes underground with Jack and the other adventurers to save the village. He's real objectives at that time was the dark grade weapon [Vajra Sword Saya]. 

After that, the dwarf gave him some of his merchandise as a few for helping him repel the abnormal people. 

These two merchants were the ones that came into his mind. He met a lot of merchants in Ladros City but these two were different.

"Since I don't know where is the dwarf, I should go to Jimmy," Souta muttered. He decided to go to Lanny Group as he doesn't even know what's the dwarf's name. So how would he find him if he doesn't know what's his name.

Souta turned around and face Yuko. He patted her head and said, "I'm going to buy a mansion for myself and farm for you with the money that I will receive. You don't have to stay in that cramped place." 

"Mu." Yuko let out a comfortable sound. 

"Hehe~ good girl. I'm going to spoil you. Hahaha after all I'm rich now." Souta laughed.

Yuko opened her eyes and looked at him with a confused expression. She was wondering why did he laugh all of a sudden. 

"Let's go now." Souta turned around and said. 

Yuko followed behind him quietly. 

...

The two arrived in front of a huge building after walking for a dozen minutes. In front of the building was the name of the corporation written in bold letters. 

The building had six floors in total and it was filled with employees wearing a black coat as their uniform.

"It's huge..." Souta muttered as he walked towards the door and slowly opened it. 

Inside the building, he saw many stuff that modern stuff. It looks like a modern reception. The receptionist was handling things with computers. The employees could even talk through with their earplugs. 

'Damn, I should not call myself rich anymore.' Souta thought as he walked towards the receptionist. 

"What can I do for you, sir?" The receptionist asked in a polite tone. She has long brown hair which was tied in a bun. Her height was quite tall for a woman and her uniform fitted her. 

"Where is Jimmy?" Souta asked directly. 

"Um... Can you wait here for a moment sir?" The receptionist asked him. Jimmy was one of the higher-ups of the Lanny Group and it's not like every people could meet him. 

"Okay. Tell him that Souta is here." Souta nodded at her. 

The receptionist looked at him wondering if he really knew Jimmy. She held her earplug and said something. She seemed to be talking to Jimmy through her earplugs. 

After that, she faced Souta and said, "I will lead you inside, sir."

Souta nodded at her. He saw another woman came in the counter and replaced the receptionist. 

The people inside who were dealing business with the corporation looked at Souta. They were wondering if he's a VIP as he could go in the upper floors and met one of the executives of the corporation. 

Souta doesn't have any idea that Jimmy was one of the executives of the Lanny Corporation. He only knew that Jimmy was a part of this group. Well, it doesn't matter to him as long as he could earn benefits through his connection. 

The receptionist guided Souta in front of one of the rooms on the top floor. 

This was Jimmy's office. 

The receptionist gently knocked on the door and said, "Sir, I brought him here."

"Okay, thanks." A voice sounded behind the door. 

Souta knew who's voice was that. He grabbed the handle of the door and directly opened it. He saw Jimmy sitting on the chair at the back of the room. 

"Good room," Souta commented as he looked around the room. 

"Right?" Jimmy laughed at his words. 

Souta knew that the things here came from the Mechanic Country. Jimmy wouldn't sell those things that he got from the Mechanic Country or else he would be hunted down. 

Mechanic Country's technology was advanced and it gave them an advantage in war. The power of those flying vehicles, mechanical armor, long-distance communication device, and powerful advanced weapons. All of these dominated the country around the Mechanic Country. 

It was overwhelming. The power of Mechanic Country's army with their advanced weapon. 

"How long it had been since we first met?" Jimmy said. 

"Hmm... Two weeks since I enroll in the Institute." Souta said. 

"Hahaha, you're quite famous nowadays. I've heard the rumors about the Tamer of the Red Fur Bear. That's you and Yuko, right?" Jimmy laughed. 

"Well, no comment about that," Souta said then he took his bag from his back. "I have an offer to you."

"Oh~ tell me what it is?" Jimmy's expression turned into a serious one. When it comes to business Jimmy was always serious. 

"Here." Souta took out the monster orb in his bag and placed it on top of Jimmy's table.

The fantasy VRMMORPG, Battle Worlds, is one of the most played games in the world.

Iris Long's friends from Cross Academy left the country after visiting the Dragon Palace mansion to eat dinner with her and Jin Liwei.
It was a pity that her language teachers, Professor Kalisha Schwarz and Professor Hisakawa Akio, couldn't make it to the grand launch. Like Headmaster Erwan Dupont, the two professors had scheduling conflicts. However, they sent presents congratulating her on her company's successful launch.
In the next few days, both Iris and Jin Liwei returned to work. The workaholic couple didn't allow their break to negatively affect their performance. It was as if they didn't leave work with how quickly they reintegrated themselves.
###
Jin Corporation.
"Good morning, President Jin!"
The employees greeted Jin Liwei as soon as he walked into the lobby, followed by his loyal assistant Xu Tian.
He nodded. "Good morning."
It was obvious that he was in a good mood. He had been in a great mood in the past few days after returning to work from his break.
It started when he caught an employee listening to "Monster of Insanity" while working. The employee had earphones on but accidentally disconnected it, leaking what he was listening to everyone. When he discovered that the President was standing right behind him, he almost peed his pants and grovelled to the floor to ask for forgiveness. But before he could do so, Jin Liwei nodded and said:
"You have great taste in music."
Then Jin Liwei left.
After that, there had been a surge of "accidental" music leaks throughout the company—all Iris Long songs, of course.
Whenever a mobile phone rang, it would an Iris Long song. Copies of the "Rebirth" album were also displayed on work desks, hoping that their President would see them if he came over. Those who had actual signed albums or memorabilia (proud Black Stars) felt superior to the others.
"We're REAL fans of Boss Iris," they were often heard saying. "At least we're not using her to get on the President's good graces, unlike some people."
Even the cafeteria started playing more Iris Long songs, prompting Jin Liwei to see for himself after hearing about it. As a result, he almost caused a stampede when he decided to eat lunch in the cafeteria with Xu Tian and the other executives. The employees felt like an immortal being just descended to the mortal realm to grace them with his presence.
His good mood infected the company's morale. They were all gradually getting used to seeing him (occasionally) smile. Before this, the company's productivity would skydive in the rare event that he actually smiled because the sight was just too shocking. Now, however, his smile had the opposite positive effect. It made the employees more productive! They began performing well at work, hoping to gain his praise and see his smile more often.
However, the happy atmosphere didn't permeate the entire company.
The board of directors was particularly tense at the moment, especially the members who belonged to the Jin branch families. 
Jin Chenggong was fired from his position in the board. Even his entire branch family was disowned from the Jin clan.
The Jin branch families only held a minority in the board of directors but their combined influence was far greater because of their surname. They were proud of their Jin name, assuming that it made them special compared to the other members of the board who weren't Jins or Lus. However, their sense of security and pride was shaken when Sir Lu Jianhong finally used his unrivalled authority in the company to fire Jin Chenggong from the board of directors.
Now they remembered that there was still someone else who could take away the privilege that they were currently enjoying.
Sir Lu Jianhong, one of the original founders of the company now known as Jin Corporation. The original Jin founder might be gone, but the original Lu founder was still very much alive. Sir Lu Jianhong had taken a backseat and allowed the Jins to run the company for many years. He even let the company be renamed as JIN Corporation in honour of his late brother and best friend.
This apparent removal of the Lu presence in the company gave the mistaken impression to the Jin branch families that their clan was the sole force holding the power and authority in Jin Corporation. They had forgotten that Sir Lu Jianhong owned exactly 50% of the company by himself, making him the majority shareholder. Compare that to Jin Liwei who only owned 25%, part of which he inherited from his father and the other part he acquired by himself as a young executive. The other 25% became minor shares distributed among the Jin branch families, other executives, and public shareholders.
It was Jin Liwei's grandfather who decided to split up his own 50% shares upon his death, distributing it to his own son and clan members, selling some at discount prices to well-deserving employees who worked hard to help make the company successful since the beginning, and offering the remaining shares to the public in order to establish Jin Corporation as a truly world-class business.
For many years, the Jin branch families took it for granted that their surname was the most visible presence in the company. Now that Sir Lu Jianhong used his rightful authority to fire someone from the board of directors, they realized that the paltry shares they owned were only droplets of water compared to the vast ocean the old man owned.
After him, Jin Liwei was the next biggest shareholder. If the several predictions were correct and Sir Lu Jianhong would pass down all of his shares to Jin Liwei, then Jin Liwei would become the ultimate majority shareholder, holding 75% of the shares. If that happened, then Jin Corporation would truly be controlled solely by the Jins.
This was supposed to be great news to the Jin branch families, if not for the fact that Jin Liwei easily disowned a branch family from the clan because of a woman. Did this mean that if they expressed their disapproval for Iris Long as their next madam, they would also be disowned and lose everything?
How could they stay calm after this?
At that moment, the branch families split allegiances. All of them didn't want to lose their current positions and privileges. They wanted to stay in the Jin clan and keep their shares of Jin Corporation, but their methods of keeping the current status quo differed from one another.
One side completely submitted themselves to Jin Liwei and his decision to marry Iris Long. They might disapprove of her and think that she was unsuitable for their clan head, but they would accept her because Jin Liwei had already chosen her. At least in this way, they would remain in Jin Liwei's good side and keep them safe from being disowned.
Some of them were even starting to believe that Iris Long might not be such a bad match for Jin Liwei after all, especially after hearing about the successful and history-making launch of her company, Orchidia Beauty. If Orchidia Beauty continued to be profitable in the long-term, then she would at least be passable as Jin Liwei's wife. They couldn't expect someone like her to grow her company on the same level as Jin Corporation, could they?
'Impossible,' they thought, laughing at the ridiculous idea.
As for the other side, they also wanted to maintain the current status quo but they didn't want to accept Iris Long. Never! Thus, they began promoting a radical idea—to make Rose Young their next Madam.
First of all, they believed that Rose Young was many times more suitable than that celebrity Iris Long who was trying to become a fake businesswoman.
Second of all, most of them personally knew Rose Young and were quite close to her and her family. They knew what kind of a wonderful, intelligent and talented woman she was, unlike that Iris Long who suddenly turned from being a devil to an angel.
Third of all, they were the ones who voted for Rose Young and made her the new CMO of Jin Corporation. Thus, she would naturally feel gratitude for the help they gave her.
These reasons made them believe that if they successfully made Rose Young their next Madam, not only would they keep the current status quo but also make it more advantageous for them courtesy of her sense of gratitude for helping her. They helped her get to her position, so she had a responsibility to pay them back, no?
Amidst the good mood and high morale of Jin Corporation, these schemes were being plotted in the shadows. Pulling the strings behind this radical group was Jin Chenggong who still retained his influence on some of the Jin branch families and Romeo Young all the way from Singapore who had proven himself as a great "friend" to those who needed to accomplish little (shady) tasks that might get them into trouble with the law.
While all of these people were speeding up the plan to make her the next Madam of Jin Corporation, Rose Young was suffering in the company. Everywhere she went, she would see, hear and feel the presence of Iris Long.
'Damn all these ass-kissers, using that slut to brownnose to Big Brother Liwei!'
This made her work extra harder, drowning herself in work, in order to stop herself from going crazy because of what she called the "Iris Long fever" in the company. As a result, her work performance improved by leaps and bounds. The other executives and members of the board of directors praised her achievements during a routine meeting. This only made the radical group believe that they made the right decision in supporting her.
"Thank you, everyone. I'm the CMO, after all. This is part of my work," she modestly replied. Then she glanced at Jin Liwei, hoping to hear him praise her, too.
However, Jin Liwei only nodded, not sparing her a word or even a look, breaking her heart.
'This is all your fault, you slut!'
While she was silently cursing Iris Long, the CFO's mobile phone rang.
"I'm a monster created by love
Your love, oh your love"
It's haunting me, it's turning me
Into a Monster, a Monster, a Monster of Insanity!!!"
The red-faced CFO struggled to find his phone inside his briefcase. His rock music ringtone blared loudly in the conference room. It was heard by everyone in the meeting, including Jin Liwei who had an amused expression. However, only Xu Tian detected the amusement from his usual cold and indifferent expression. Finally, the CFO found his phone and turned it off in a hurry. He cleared his throat and immediately apologized.
"My apologies, especially to the President. My carelessness made me forget to set my phone on silent mode before the meeting."
Silence.
"Nice ringtone," Jin Liwei commented. "Continue with the meeting."
"Yes, sir!"
Rose Young almost coughed out blood in her fury.

Everyone was stunned right away. Song Shijie proposed that he, as a representative from the Holy Dragon Corporation, was to form an alliance uniting all the forces of Min Province. While the alliance was said to be formed for the sake of uniting all the forces within the province, there was no doubt it was actually meant to put all forces under the rule of the Holy Dragon Corporation.
Lu Xuan mentioned that right there and then, and it was obvious that he intended to reign over the powers found throughout the entire Min Province as well.
Two parties intended to do so, with one being a foreign behemoth and the other being the local giant.
The fundamental nature of such an alliance remained unchanged.
The cultivators of the province remained a scattered bunch when a representative from the Holy Dragon Corporation crashed the gate, making them all easy to put down due to not having a leader that could have ruled them all.
Over half of those present were compelled to kneel before the corporation as soon as Song Shijie made his proposal. With the exception of a handful of people, the ones who had yet to yield were already thinking of yielding, and it was only a matter of time before they yielded anyway.
That was because not only did the corporation being of great influence in all walks of life, but that the corporation also packed the level of firepower that all of them sorely lack. Therefore, the corporation had all they needed to make all who were present yield.
All who remained adamant in their resistance would be finished off on the spot.
There was then, finally, someone from the province who was capable of standing up against such a giant. In comparison to the Holy Dragon Corporation, Lu Xuan did undoubtedly felt to be the better choice.
Lu Xuan, despite his formidable, overwhelming powers, was but one man, which meant that he would not have been able to actually meddle in their affairs. The alliance would have been a loose one.
If the corporation were to be the boss of them instead, it would have been akin to having a noose around their neck at all times, making it difficult to go about their respective businesses.
The only thing that the crowd was unsure of was if Lu Xuan was capable of holding his own against the Holy Dragon Corporation's retaliation.
"I'm all for it!"
Ling Huang took Ling Fei along and stood by Lu Xuan's side, not long after Lu Xuan made the proposal.
Many who had been unable to pick their sides in time went to Lu Xuan's side.
There were even many who had initially chosen to side with Song Shijie switching sides, backing Lu Xuan instead.
The way Lu Xuan killed Wen Ziteng had driven quite a shock into their minds, after all.
That one attack made them realize thoroughly just how powerful he truly was.
"You all... so that's how you want to play it!"
Song Shijie was extremely frustrated. He had organized the event to declare his intentions and have a bunch of rich people back him up, yet all of his efforts ended up working in Lu Xuan's favor instead.
Song Shijie's expression was quite complex. He truly felt betrayed at the moment, even though those people around him had only yielded due to his overwhelming show of power. Still, seeing them flooding to Lu Xuan's side made him feel extremely defeated nonetheless.
"Just you wait, all of you! You all shall pay for the humiliation I have suffered today! None of you will get away with this!"
Song Shijie turned around and walked away in frustration and anger. There was no point in him staying around, and he would have only been insulted further.
"Hold on for a minute!" Lu Xuan said all of a sudden.
"What more do you want?"
Lu Xuan stood up and said, "I did say I'm a fair person earlier. You crippled one of my men, and now I shall cripple you. That will make us even."
Song Shijie froze as soon as he heard that. He shouted with a croaked voice, "You dare!"
It was the first time fear was truly seen in his eyes. He dared to step on Lu Xuan because he was confident of the powers behind him—the Holy Dragon Corporation. He had no fear whatsoever, even if the one he had to face off with was the newly crowned number one in the province.
The name of the corporation that he wore so proudly on his sleeve enabled him to do anything he pleased, and that boosted his ego too much.
It was only right there and then that he truly felt fear.
Lin Miaoyi, who was by Lu Xuan's side, felt that Song Shijie was simply too much of a fool for thinking that the repute and renown of the corporation were still of any use to him now.
He failed to realize that he was no longer dealing with a lone cultivator without a foundation, but a monster every bit on par with Song Lingfeng—the Great Ancestor.
Lin Miaoyi had told the Lin Clan to send her all they were able to gather about Lu Xuan during the short span of time after she realized who Lu Xuan was.
It did not take her long to know just what kind of a monster Lu Xuan truly was.
Lu Xuan went all the way to Dian Province and wiped out an overlord class force on a whim. The mettle shown by one such monster simply meant that he would not let those who wronged him slide simply because the Holy Dragon Corporation backed those people.
Song Shijie's first instinct was to flee, yet he quickly realized that he was pinned down where he stood by an overwhelmingly terrifying aura.
It was difficult for him to move even a muscle.
It was worth noting that despite not yet becoming a National Guardian, he was not actually all that far off from becoming one. It was only a matter of time before he made a breakthrough and became a National Guardian.
Yet, one look from Lu Xuan, and he already felt hardly be able to breathe.
"How is this possible? I don't believe this!"
Song Shijie mobilized his Qi, intending to break the lockdown imposed by Lu Xuan's aura; however, he quickly found that no matter how hard he tried, he remained unable to make the breakthrough, making him feel like he had been plunged into quicksand.
"Mr. Lu, please let Young Master Song off just this once!"
At that moment, Li Hongjun had no choice but to speak on Song Shijie's behalf. He was too entangled with Song Shijie for him to consider other options.
"Who do you think you are? Get out of my sight!"
Lu Xuan smirked and waved his hand, blasting Li Hongjun away.
While Li Hongjun has had a few years of martial arts practice and was in good shape, he was still no match for the likes of Lu Xuan. The air blast from that move was enough to blow him away.
"You dare to act against me! The Holy Dragon Corporation is not going to let you off easy. The Great Ancestor will come for you!"
Song Shijie was thoroughly flustered by then. All that he had been relying on was rendered thoroughly useless before Lu Xuan.
"Tell that old fart Song Lingfeng to show up in the flesh then!" Lu Xuan chuckled coldly. "I can't believe a dumb*ss who did something so stupid, just because a woman egged you on, actually comes from the Song Clan. How awfully dumb of you, indeed."
Song Shijie was thoroughly struck with terror by then.
"Mr. Lu, I'm truly, truly sorry. I shouldn't have listened to Luo Ying."
Song Shijie then added immediately, "Please, just let me go this once!"
Song Shijie finally yielded. The image that he had built for himself earlier crumbled altogether. All that imposing air of his before the formidable ones of the Min Province was no more.
"You heard of a saying? It seems to go, 'If apologies were of any use, why would there be cops?'"
Lu Xuan's expression remained cold as he went up and kicked Song Shijie in the abdomen, landing squarely on his Dantian.
Song Shijie felt all that Spiritual Qi that he had painstakingly built up dissipate at a frightening rate.
His face became as ashen as a zombie's right away.
Not everyone was like Lu Xuan, who could easily heal damage to the Dantian, after all.
Any common folk with such damage would most definitely end up being crippled for life.
The crowd was silent as they saw what happened.
Song Shijie, who pretended as if he was a god and had looked down on everyone else not that long ago, had all his cultivation destroyed right there and then, reducing him to a mere mortal.
It was a scene that felt exhilarating to behold.


In his past incarnation, Lu Xuan was the youngest Celestial Lord that the universe has ever seen!
An accidental rebirth brought him back to a thousand years before, where the Earth had just begun its spiritual reawakening. When he stepped onto the way of cultivation for a second time, he swore to rewrite all injustices suffered in his past life, and defeat all enemies that dare stand in his way!
Let invincibility be his cultivation and the path he treads. In this life, it is his destiny to be invincible!

Instead of having all ten fingers hurt, it would be better to have one finger severed. This was a simple logic, and Meng Chao believed that the monster civilization understood it. 
Over the two years, Dragon City had been expanding rapidly, so its supply line had become longer and their soldiers spread out, since the number of tactical strongholds they needed to defend had increased ten times. 
But they also occupied a lot of blessed lands filled with spirit energy. They had chased quite a lot of monsters out of their habitats and nests, so a few main monster species had taken a huge blow. 
Meng Chao believed that the monster civilization did not have the strength to attack Dragon City from the four cardinal directions. 
If the monster civilization really had such terrifying strength, there would have been no need for them to wait until now. During the Noble Descent Hotel ambush, they could have just gathered together a monster horde that filled the earth and leveled Dragon City to the ground. 
The monster civilization could only have three targets at best. 
The other seemingly fierce monster hordes were all feints. 
It was all so that they could lock down the human soldiers and peak fighting power in place, so the monster civilization could break their main targets. 
Nie Chenglong agreed with Meng Chao's thoughts. 
But it was meaningless. Even if they knew that 90% of the enemy's attacks were feints, since the main army of the monster civilization and the Apocalyptic Beasts were hidden in the fog, they could not tell just which offense was a feint and which was the real deal. 
They needed to clash fists and launch a full-scale war against each other before everything would be revealed. 
However, Dragon City faced a fatal problem when it came to mobilizing its high-end fighting power. 
Most of those people—especially from the five-star Heaven Realm superhumans to those ranked above Deity Realm—were bound to the mega corporations. 
Sky Pillar, Universe, Soaring Dragon, Thundercloud… These mega corporations controlled Dragon City and provided endless cultivation resources to their powerful fighters to ensure that they could maintain and upgrade their cultivation realms. They also created good cultivation, research, and business environments. 
The creators of the mega corporations were all Deity Realm superhumans. Most of the shares of the companies were held by the powerful, so the powerful and the companies were two sides of the same coin. 
The mega corporations had invested an astronomical amount of resources into the new industrial bases and crystal mining sites. 
Hence, the powerful fighters who belonged to these industries and had shares in the company naturally had to defend their territory. After all, their money, lives, and hopes of continuing to advance up the cultivation realms were all in there. 
And the relationship between the mega corporations had always been delicate. They worked together, but they were also competitors. 
Take Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation as an example. 
They were both giants in the mining, crystal, and metal smelting industries, which had been fighting overtly and covertly for decades. 
Two years ago, two mine exploration teams from the corporations had even killed each other under Raging Waves. Even the third generation member of Universe Corporation, Shen Yulong, had almost been killed by Lu Siya, a third generation member of Sky Pillar Corporation. 
This matter had been completely wiped out by the massive explosion from the Red Radiance Jade mine, but those within the field knew what happened. 
However, they had no proof and there was also the interference from the crystals and bewitchment from the abnormal beast, so everything could be explained and the corporations decided not to dig deep into it. 
In that sort of situation, it was very difficult to convince a Deity Realm superhuman from Sky Pillar Corporation to ignore the enemies right in front of them and go off to provide reinforcements for Universe Corporation's defense line. 
It was the same with the remaining seven mega corporations. 
The peerless fighters were definitely not petty, selfish people. 
If someone could prove that the enemy in front of them was just a feint and the comrades to their sides were the real targets, no matter what sort of grudges they had in the past when they fought over resources, they would set aside their differences and face the enemy together. 
The problem was, how could they prove that they were facing feints and the other party was the real target of the monster civilization?
One slight error in judgment could lead to an astronomical amount of resources going down the drain. The corporate empires built for decades would shatter, and the elites would no longer be able to get a sufficient amount of resources to maintain their cultivation realms. No one could bear such a consequence. 
It has to be known that the Deity Realm superhumans were no longer the heroes of the past who could fight alone with nothing to worry about. 
All of them had families behind them, were worth billions, taught countless disciples under their names, owned large companies, and held countless people's lives and money with their absolute might!
All sorts of reasons made the Deity Realm superhumans unable to fight together. 
The research department knew the monster civilization's scheme, but they could only let everyone be stuck in their territories like nails. 
The attackers could choose the time, location, and method of offense however they liked, but the defenders could only be hit and counter whenever they were attacked. 
This was a chronic illness that could not be avoided in any war since ancient times, and it was in no way new. 
Dragon City was the only one to blame for expanding in an extreme manner for two years. 
But Meng Chao knew that they had no other choice. 
In his previous life, due to their tragic defeat at the northern offense, they were forced to choose another path. They shrank their defense line and defended like cowards while taking approximately three years to rest and recuperate. That was the only way they could regain their ability to colonize the world around them. 
But during those three years, the monster civilization expanded like crazy and occupied most of the blessed lands that were filled with spirit energy and used them effectively. Their number of soldiers increased ten times, and Dragon City's civilization suffered a terrible blow during the last stage of the Monster War. Many of their top fighters died, and even Battle God Lei Zongchao, whom the Dragon Citizens regarded as a legend, was lost in the final battle. 
Reality showed that hiding like cowards and going about the war steadily would only lead to death. 
Besides, no one knew better than Meng Chao that if Dragon City's civilization wanted to rule over the Other World, they would not just face the monster civilization, but a myriad of other races!
Based on his previous life's experience, when Earthlings and the monsters were fighting like crazy in the fog shrouded Monster Mountain Range, the war of epic proportions that was worthy of being written into war poems was brewing in the vast land of the Other World. 
The humans of the Other World, elves, dwarves, giants, vampires, dragons, demons, orcs, the extraordinary beings who stood above the heavens and lurked in the depths of the abyss had formed two camps that were diametrically opposed to each other and would not stop fighting until the other side died. Conflict was about to erupt at any moment, and one single spark was all that was needed for the destructive flames to sweep through all of the Other World. 
This would be an unprecedented, destructive war. 
The strength, intensity, scale, and brutality surpassed all of the world wars on Earth. 
In Meng Chao's previous life, Dragon City's civilization was dragged down by the monster civilization for too long, and they were already too late when they entered the Other World's war. 
Besides, they were heavily injured and "bleeding". Dragon City's civilization could not control its own fate and could only end up as the chess piece for the Other World's extraordinary beings. 
They could also not figure out the relationship between the races of the Other World. They lacked crucial information about the war, so they made a lot of wrong choices. 
In the end, as the foot soldiers of the losing side, they were inevitably the first to be cast aside. 
Even so, during their most glorious moments, Dragon Citizens fought fiercely as representatives of Earth's civilization and gained themselves the nickname of the Extraordinary Disaster. 
Meng Chao believed that as long as they managed to win the Monster War two or three years ahead of time, Dragon City's civilization would still be at full health when its people rushed out of Monster Mountain Range, and their top fighters, including Battle God Lei Zongchao, would remain alive. 
Then, with the information he had from his previous life's memories regarding the direction of the war, the conflict between the Other World races, their weaknesses, hidden powerful fighters, treasures, and other things, he could help Dragon City's civilization form alliances and handle the war smoothly. 
Then, from chess pieces, they could become the players. From there, they could reap the most benefits from the war that destroyed the world. They could overtake the extraordinary beings and stand above them, thus be in control of their own destiny as well as the entire Other World's destiny!
After all, he only started to grow up during the Other World's war in his previous life. 
Compared to quietly harvesting monsters and enduring the hardships of life as a normal citizen, Meng Chao preferred the exciting times of being a special agent of the Ghost Tribe and wandering among the races of the Other World. 
His memories of the Other World's war were much clearer and more useful compared to the memory fragments of the Monster War. 
But the basis of all this was that Dragon City had to gather a lot of resources within a short amount of time and end the Monster War. 
Then, they would be able to make it in time before the war broke out and get the chance to steal from others during their times of crisis. 
Hence, if Meng Chao were to set the plans for the expansion of Dragon City, he would make them expand even more extremely and frenziedly. 
There was no perfect strategy that ensured no losses. Not on Earth, and not in the Other World. 
If they wanted to occupy the largest territory within the shortest amount of time, get lots of resources, and complete primitive accumulation as soon as possible, they had to face the problem of their defense lines becoming longer, their forces being spread out thinly, and no fronts being able to care for each other. 
Dragon Citizens had no other choice. They had to brace themselves and get through it. 
On one side was heaven, and on the other side was hell.
Once they lived through this wave of offense by the monster civilization, the mining sites, plantations, and heavy industrial bases would be able to produce even greater resources. After being refined by the flames of war, more Dragon Citizens would also awaken to supernatural abilities and become superhumans who could control their own destinies. 
The advantages of Dragon City's civilization would become greater, like a rolling snowball, and the monster civilization, who had suffered a major setback right when it was born, would not be as strong as it was in his previous life. 
Meng Chao was confident that the monster civilization would not have the chance to launch another savage attack like this. 
If they could not make it… they would face the same end as in his previous life. 
There were Deity Realm superhumans guarding the frontlines at the perimeter, so there was no need to worry about them for the time being. 
Meng Chao clenched his fists. He was determined to do whatever it took to complete his mission and stop Vortex's scheme in the lair. 
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and the other veteran hunters understood the unprecedented gravity of the situation; it was not the time to complain or negotiate. Compared to Golden Tooth Lair, the tactical resources around Dragon City were in greater need of being defended by their top fighters. 
"Understood, we'll find the mastermind," Zhou Chong said firmly. "We will not allow our enemies to have the chance to cause trouble in the heart of Dragon City at such a crucial time!"
"Please, Captain Zhou, Meng Chao, everyone." Nie Chenglong paused for a while. "Remember, the mission has changed. This is no longer a capture mission. It's a real battle. I will take full responsibility for all of your actions."　　


Fifty years ago, Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World. Alone in the world, they lifted the banner of Earth’s civilization and fought against the terrifying forces of the Other World.
And in the end, Dragon City was destroyed. 
Then, Meng Chao was reborn after Dragon City was destroyed, and he returned to the time fifty years after Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World. But he was not alone, he returned with a system named Kindling, who told him that he can become stronger if he contributed to society. 
So Meng Chao swore that he would become stronger. In the beginning, he only wanted to make small contributions to the society by teaching them technology, martial arts, and skills from the future, and in the end, everything snowballed from there, and he found that… Earthlings were really insane. 


Ray knew Iron Man 2 the movie was about to be over, he heard from Phil Coulson, Nick Fury has given Tony Stark his father's legacy. Ray also heard that Daniel Whitehall has been promoted to one of the World Security Council Members much to the anger of Nick Fury. Nick Fury did not like Daniel Whitehall but Daniel Whitehall's background check did not turn out anything bad. And Daniel Whitehall was not involved with Hydra so Nick Fury had to begrudgingly accept Daniel Whitehall as one of the World Security Council members.

While all of these was happening Ray was walking with his bodyguards towards the new building set up by the Hand. The new building had a large name called, "Umbrella Corporation" on it and the logo was the view of a multi coloured red and white umbrella from the top.

As Ray walked into the building with his bodyguards, there was a young lady waiting for him.

"Welcome to Umbrella Corporation, Mr. Albert Wesker is waiting for you. Please follow me.", a young beautiful lady said as she ushered them to the lift.

Once the young girl had brought Ray and his bodyguards before a man that looked surprisingly like the actor Shawn Roberts she left. The man known as Albert Wesker, began to kneel in front of Ray and shouted out, "Master ! Welcome to the Umbrella Corporation !".

"Umbrella Corporation is wonderful isn't it, how is the power that I gave you Albert ?", Ray asked in a girlish voice.

"Umbrella Corporation is indeed wonderful, the Hand has done a wonderful job of making this corporation a reality. Master ! The powers you gave me are great. I have slowly begun to get used to them.", Albert Wesker said in a respectful tone and he was still kneeling down.

"Here is the T- Virus I promised you. With it you can create zombies out of human beings and the power I gave you will allow you to control the zombies.", Ray said in a girlish voice as he passed Albert Wesker a suitcase.

"Thank you master ! What about members of the Hand ? Won't they be affected by the virus if it gets out ?", Albert Wesker asked respectfully.

"Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! I have already given a vaccine to all the members of the Hand and their family members to make them immune to the T-Virus ! Even my bodyguards here with me today and their family members are immunised against the T-Virus !", Ray said in a girlish voice proudly.

"Then I am relieved. Am I the only Hand personnel in all of Umbrella Corporation, Master ?", Albert Wesker asked sincerely.

"Yes, Albert Wesker, you are the only Hand member in the whole of Umbrella Corporation. You are also the leader of Umbrella Corporation and in charge of everything. Find good subordinates and once you succeed in your mission, you may go back to being Matthew.", Ray said in a girlish voice.

"Thank you master ! I look forward to the day I can go back to the Hand.", Albert Wesker said respectfully.

"Has the zombie producing machine arrived yet ?", Ray asked in a girlish voice.

"Yes master, the zombie producing machine has arrived at Umbrella Corporation and if anyone attacks Umbrella Corporation, the machine will activate.", Albert Wesker said respectfully.

"Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! When the time is right, you will use the T- Virus and the personnel of Umbrella Corporation to oppose Shield.", Ray said in a girlish voice happily.

"Yes Master !", Albert Wesker shouted out.

Ray had succeeded in creating the T-Virus by going to hell and capturing a undead ghoul. Using the undead ghoul's DNA, Ray was able to successfully create the T-Virus. As for Albert Wesker's power, Ray had captured an undead Lich king in hell. By using 10% of the lich king's DNA, Ray was able to create a serum that made Albert a Wesker 10% undead lich king and 90% human. With that power, Albert Wesker could control all undead creatures, have superhuman strength, superhuman healing and invulnerability to a certain degree. Albert Wesker could lift above 3 tons of weight. But the most important thing was being 10% undead lich king, he could command and control all lesser undead like an undead ghoul.

All Ray had to do now was wait for Iron Man 2 to finish and for the start of Thor. Ray hoped that the hammer of Thor could enhance his powers. Meanwhile Wilson Fisk had approached Ray to suggest two more new subordinates for him to empower. They were Daredevil Matt Murdock and Elektra. Ray smiled at the thought of empowering those two people to work for him. Of course anyone empowered by him would be tied with the, "Chain", spell he would cast. It would ensure absolute loyalty or death.

Ray once again met up with Wilson Fisk and Daredevil Matt Murdock in his lab. Ray had found the perfect hell monster to infuse his gene into Matt Murdock. The hell monster Ray chose was a demon hell bat that could control all sound and was super powerful. But what Ray is most excited about is after testing Matt Murdock's blood with the demon hell bat, it could enhance the inherent powers already in Matt Murdock's blood.

"Alice get everything ready !", Ray shouted in a girlish voice in his lab as Wilson Fisk, Dark, Matt Murdock and Elektra looked on.

"Matt Murdock get on the bed and Alice will strap you in. Get ready for unbelievable pain as you gain impossible powers. It will make you one of my strongest creations.", Ray said in a girlish voice with a smirk.

Matt Murdock lay down on the bed as Alice strap him into the bed. Matt Murdock was held by metal straps onto the bed as Ray injected a strange greenish liquid into him. Then Ray started chanting and floor beneath the bed glowed in an unusual pattern. Matt Murdock's muscle and body began to rapidly expand and he got taller and more muscular. Matt Murdock screamed in pain as his face contorted in pain. Matt Murdock saw himself shedding his own skin as a new younger looking skin grew on his body. Matt Murdock then suddenly screamed in pain and his whole body shook with a sound wave hitting everyone except Ray who had erected a magical shield. Wilson Fisk, Dark and Elektra fell on the floor as the metal straps holding in Matt Murdock broke. Matt Murdock screamed one more time and there appeared to be an earthquake over the building. Finally Matt Murdock fell unconscious due to the intense pain. But the transformation continue to take place until Matt Murdock was reborn into a muscular handsome man with no scars. It seems Matt Murdock grew a few inches taller than before.

Once Matt Murdock woke up, Ray sat next to him and said, "Congratulations, Matt Murdock from my analysis with my magic, you have superhuman strength, superhuman healing ability and you can control all sound. You can lift above 100 tons, you can destroy anything by shaking it on a molecular level, your sound wave is strong enough to destroy cities with a shout, you can sense your surroundings by sending out your sound waves and you should be able to fly by manipulating the sound waves !".

"Thank you Master !", Matt Murdock said aloud as he attempted to kneel down to Ray But was stopped by Ray.

"Rest now when you are better you can thank me.", Ray said in a happy girlish voice.

"Master ! I want to be strong as well. When will it be my turn ?", Elektra shouted out while looking at Ray desperately.

"Hush ! You can't be so rude to the master. Do you not see the energy he has expanded in giving Matt Murdock his powers ?", Dark said with a stern voice.

"It's alright. Give me some time. I will make you as strong as Matt Murdock.", Ray said in a girlish voice as he smiled. Ray regretted the words he said the moment he said it, Matt Murdock had the unknown chemical in his blood stream that enabled him to have class 100 strength (lift above 100 tons equivalent to Thor or the Hulk) and his sound powers were even stronger than the demon hell bats. Ray now had to figure out how to make a normal female human into a superhuman as strong as the Hulk without any side effects like the Hulk.

After waking in someone else’s body our protagonist screamed out in fear as he found out he was in the Marvel Universe. Unfortunately for our power hungry protagonist he ended up in the 1980s Marvel Universe where nothing happened. So is our power hungry protagonist path to power stunted before it even started ?

This world of Yggdrasia actually existed…?

Was he saying this was an actual planet somewhere in the universe? I read on, hoping that the words could shed light upon my confusion.

This place was discovered due to my mother and her power: manipulation of cyberspace. Thirty years ago, when my mother was still active as a hacker, her power was analyzed. The results became the foundation of the very first brain-computer interface VR system.

A certain corporation in the defense industry recruited her. In her time working there, she accidentally discovered a faint disturbance in cyberspace. Further investigations and analysis revealed a world entirely separate from Earth.

Yet, that world was much too far away. With the use of the latest technology of the time, Digistruction, they sent a scouting drone that could create its own light sources through. It turned out that the planetary system this new world belonged to did not correlate to any records on Earth. Yggdrasia itself was determined to be an Earth-like planet, but its atmosphere was different and more importantly, unsuitable for Earth humans.

So someone found out about this planet… Then why did no one publicize this? It would've been the find of the century… or perhaps, somebody wanted this to be kept a secret?

Regardless, investigations continued. The corporation had officially received the government's blessings to continue the survey. They found out that this world was surprisingly similar to Earth in culture, and that the native humans' level of civilization was equivalent to Earth's Middle Ages.

The similarities received heavy attention from the scholars. In the end, they came to a conclusion: the form of energy that had created the dimensional disturbance had also, in the past, caused some sort of information to travel both ways between Earth and the new world. Natives in the new world called that energy 'Mana'.

Mana… So if this world was real, then did that mean magic was real, too?

This world was sustained by the infinite mana created from the World Tree and its Saplings. Compared to the other races of the new world, the 'humans' there were relatively weak, but could quickly increase their population. They had founded countries, like parasites leeching off the Tree and the Saplings. Yet despite their achievements, they were only using mana as fuel for the special ability they called Magic.

The corporation wanted to explore the possibility of using mana as a source of normal energy. They, and their government, believed that drone surveying wasn't enough. After deciphering the native language, they pretended themselves to be God to the kings of the larger countries, complete with divine prophecies.

The false God gained faith with agricultural reforms, simple yet convenient technology for the mass, and other such improvements. With trust now cemented, God told the people to research about mana, and to create the technological foundation for using mana to power tools.

So they put on a mask of God, granted the native people technology, then had them begin research. Where were they going with this?

The research was successful, and the first applications were in developments of magitech tools that served a role similar to electrical appliances. With the technology transfer, in just ten-odd years, magitech trains and airships were born. Before Earth's intervention, the human population in Yggdrasia were several hundreds of millions. With access to powerful magical barriers and weapons, in ten years, that number quickly swelled.

At first, it was simply intellectual curiosity. Next, the corporation wanted to find a way to utilize the faint mana they detected from the dimensional tear. Then ten years ago, everything changed when they discovered the child that would be called No. 17.

Native fauna on Yggdrasia could kill other life-forms to absorb magic and lifeforce from their victims, and convert them into their own power. And No. 17, found in Tibet, had the same ability. With the results from analyzing the child's genome, the corporation established a method to gather mana by having the remote-controlled drones kill other living beings.

Did that mean that when I defeated enemies and raised my magic, a part of that was sent to Earth? And perhaps the death penalty that cut my magic in half was also for this purpose.

From observing the new world, they understood that it was possible to send 'waves', like radio signals, through the dimensional distortion. From the fact that mana was faintly leaking to Earth, they hypothesized that mana was a form of wave that suffused the atmosphere. Based on that theory, they succeeded in creating a system to send the mana that the drones gathered to Earth.

At the time, there was no way to make the drones even decently powerful. However, the problem was solved once they discovered No. 08.

His power was to materialize 'force of will'. Combining it with another power previously analyzed – the power to convert materials from the surroundings or from the atmosphere into amino acids and other such biological matter – the corporation was no longer limited to robotic drones. They could now create the human form, so similar as to be indistinguishable from real human beings.

The VR avatar system had already been introduced on Earth by then. Higher realism came with its own problems, such as mental instability. To investigate these problems further, and at the same time seeing the opportunity of infinite energy in the form of mana, an opportunity that arose once sending human avatars into the new world became possible, the government invested a vast sum of money into the corporation and told them to develop a system for large-scale mana harvesting.

Which resulted in this game, World of Yggdrasia.

I see… Just the beta test alone already had three million applicants. If the same amount of people bought the game when it's officially released, the corporation would basically gain three million soldiers and their money, too.

But the government judged that the game alone wouldn't be enough to cover the country's energy needs. They urged the development of weapons that could gather mana more efficiently, weapons that could be deployed on both Earth and the other world. Non-humanoid remote-controlled weapons. Monster avatars.

This corporation had branch offices everywhere on Earth. Within research centers masquerading as orphanages, they conducted analyses upon the twenty people with special abilities that they'd gathered. With the completion of mana-gathering avatars, now the corporation was looking into investigating the problematic sensation of Disconnect that was happening to monster avatars. They were planning on pushing us secret alpha testers into the worst circumstances possible, as a part of their experiment. They would see all of us bled dry.

So we were just disposable pawns… and that inhumane orphanage was even one of theirs.

Writing this must have taken No. 01 days. In the beginning, the words were chicken scrawls, but they got better as time went on. And then… they started to deteriorate.

Us secret alpha testers were orphans from around the world, every single one possessing some sort of mysterious power. But many of us were orphaned in suspicious happenings. Some of our parents were killed, some bankrupt, some gone by other means.

At first, there were only twenty-three of us. We were gathered at the research center, with numbers becoming our new names. Then, at the government's behest, the corporation added another seventy-seven despite their trivial abilities. Exactly one hundred of us were dropped into this new world.

Around here was the point where No. 01's mind must have been breaking down. His words began to veer off-course, letters started varying in sizes, and once in a while I could see deep gouges in the rock wall.

My mother, the woman who discovered this world, were pushing her power more and more with each investigation. In the end, it crippled her. I inherited the same power, even if mine was much weaker. Then I met No. 08 and No. 17 at the research institution's orphanage. We spent our childhoods with only each other to turn to.

With my power, we had managed to infiltrate the personal computer of a researcher through the internet. That was how we knew we were only disposable test subjects. We had no families, no friends aside from each other in the real world, in Earth. So we started looking for ways to escape to the new world.

That's… impossible, right? Weren't they using avatars because they couldn't send live humans here?

The Unique Skills of us secret alpha testers were based on our real abilities. With the mana native to Yggdrasia, perhaps our powers could be strengthened.

[Materialization of Will], [Absorption of Magic and Lifeforce], and [Mental Manipulation of Cyberspace]. These are our powers. If we can use them to their full potential, we should be able to escape the shackles of the System, transfer our consciousness, and gain new living bodies here on this world. Even if doing it would send our real bodies into a coma, there's a high chance the corporation would still keep us powered people alive. As long as our connection to the machine were still intact, no matter how tenuous it might be, I could still maintain and strengthen it through our minds.

But our plan was a failure. We underestimated them.

It was a desperate plan, born from children clutching onto faint hope.

Here, No. 01's handwriting began to turn outright misshapen.

They wanted to use us until our minds either broke down, or until our brains stopped working altogether. The broken ones only had an extra month of life support. After that, they would be disposed of.

The corporation's promise of 'half a year' that they told us? An utter lie. We were never meant to survive that long.

Day after day, I saw myself losing bits and pieces of my mind. My first death here, in this world, was a revelation: with our sense of pain adjusted to the maximum, the moment of death brings with it agony like nothing else. Among those of us who had avatars with a sense of pain, that first death must have sent dozens into comas. Especially the younger kids.

And the feeling of Disconnection, too, they worsened day by day. I thought I could hold myself together with a familiar animal form, but once I evolved, I grew another head.

That head is just a beast. Violence is all that drives it. It would take any opportunity to take control of my body.

I can't rest even for one second. I can't sleep. It would eat me alive if I so much as close my eyes.

I didn't know how bad he had it. But I could see how far gone he was from his deteriorating letters.

Whoever's reading this, if you're a secret alpha tester like us, then you must take our magic stones. All three of ours. We promised to each other to keep our powers in the stones so that even if one of us died, the rest could still live on.

Perhaps it's impossible. It would be the end once our real bodies were destroyed, after all. But there must be a way. It must be possible. The World Tree with infinite mana is here. The holy land that surrounded it rejects normal monsters, but maybe a monster with the ability to absorb magic can find a way.

I can't do it. This is the end for me. There were only around 20 of us alpha testers left. I found that out after infiltrating their monitoring system. Even No. 17 had lost his mind. He was much too kind. His heart couldn't endure this life of kill-or-be-killed.

By the time you read this, if the two-headed wolf is still alive, then please…

Please kill me.

His words stopped here. After that, it was just the scratchings of a maddened beast.

I was relatively sane thanks to a series of fortunate coincidences, but it looked like everyone else didn't have my luck. Most of them had broken.

It must have been torturous… yet you still held on, fighting those beta players. You didn't want to die by the hands of that corporation, right?

…yeah. I got it.

I won't let them kill you.

I'll lay you to rest myself.



A back-to-basics(?) monster evolution novel.

A new VRMMORPG, “World of Yggdrasia”, was recruiting beta testers from all over the world. Ten thousand testers began their journey of swords and sorcery in a new realm, one that was as large as Earth.

At the same time, a clandestine experiment was underway. Unbeknownst to the world at large, 100 secret alpha testers were given bodies of monsters and summoned to the same land.

The girl of white was one such tester. Despite the odds against her, she continued to evolve again and again. To rebel against the real world’s invasion, she would become a most terrible beast, the destroyer of worlds… the Bunny Girl!

“…wait, what? Me?”

Our protagonist would survive, unyielding, knowing no despair.
