Hey guys, so I have some stuff to talk about with y'all. 

Don't worry, I'm still writing. In fact, I'm 85% done with Volume 3 right now. 

However, I'm sure some of you are wondering why I haven't put up any chapters here (though Patron is actively updated and each full Volume is still sold on Amazon after extensive editing (My Amazon author name is L M Kerr)). 

And that's a discussion I do need to share, so let's jump into it. 

I have yet to make any final decision on this topic. 

Over time, I've noticed something rather disheartening that's happened on the main site where I sell my finished, edited, and restructured novels. 

I've been receiving negative or critical reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, etc. for things that do not exist in the Amazon version of the book.

Instead, those reviews are referring to things present only on the WebNovel versions. 

What I post here on WebNovel is my rough draft, lightly edited. 

What I post on Amazon is heavily edited and more polished. The story plots are the same, but I go over the story several times and edit before I put it up on Amazon. 

Now, some of you may be thinking: Wiz, why does that matter? Don't you take the WebNovel versions down, anyway, once you are done?

That is correct, I don't think any of you, my WN readers, are the ones leaving unrepresentative reviews on Amazon. 

However, there is a second, bigger issue that frustrates me...

Piracy. 

My books are pirated when I post them here. 

There are dozens of piracy sites out that that strip my chapters from WebNovel and host them online. 

When I post something here, it stays up online, forever. 

***A rough draft claiming to be my full story, in all its yet to be heavily edited glory.***

This is incredibly frustrating to me. 

Incredibly. 

I am seriously considering only posting chapter updates to Patron because of issues like this, and sticking to releasing the polished, edited versions on Amazon after, instead. 

I have yet to make a final decision, but this is where I'm at right now, thinking things over. 

I'd love to hear some of your thoughts! Please, feel free to share :)

Read on and find out.

John got furious, he expects that when he gets a new class, there should have been free skills but after the update about skill books, the system didn't give one.

' It must have been because of the skill books. '

Well, he couldn't blame the developers when the free skills that were given to him were already too much.


" So does this mean I have to buy a skill from each class I gained? "


I checked the skill books shop window and saw different types of skills that had the minimum of 70,000 gold. If you were to buy a skill book in the online market or in shops, they sell about hundreds of thousands worth of gold and some we're only C-rated skills. the difference between each skill was vastly different. If I were to compare an C-rated skill from a B-rated skill, it was like comparing a pebble from a boulder.

But it was different from my own personal Skill Book shop. Almost all of the skill where rated from A type skills that only cost 80,000 worth of gold compared to the market which would greatly sell to millions of gold.

The skill's description only show up if it was bought so it was a big disadvantage, the short description given was only the type of skill it is (CC, AOE, buff, debuff, damage, and lock).

There where also Set skills which would give 5 skills in all but sadly it didn't show what type of skills it gives.


" Emperor's Fury is the cheapest set skill which cost about 400,000 gold. "


The Emperor's Fury set skill piqued my interest since it was also connected to my equipments.


" Yes I'll go with Emperor's Fury! "


I went down the mountain and killed every mob I see. 1 hour passed, I was able to kill all the monsters from the swamp areas, mountains, and lastly the forest parts. The speed of my hunt was 10 times faster than what 5 party raid could do but I still wasn't satisfied, all I wanted was to grow and grow.


" *sigh*, I am able to earn 128,900 gold and raise my level to seven but it still not enough. "


(sfx for loud roar)


The roar shook the entire forest on where I am temporarily staying, it uprooted some small trees and the leaves from most of the branches of the trees were all swept away by the collision of the roar's wave.


' Is it a beast? '


The creature appeared just 15 meters away from me, it gave off a tremendous aura that made the wind sweep in a none orderly manner.


" What kind of aura is this? "


It was different from the auras found within the mobs living in this place, the aura's color was dyed in deep violet. The monstrous vibe from its aura made the trees decay and the grasses where it steps foot in change into gravel-ish dirt.


Tti-ring!


Just after I was sweating like crazy, a window notification appeared that blocked my view.


[HIDDEN QUEST]


DEFEAT THE KING OF THE FOREST, CHIMERA

DIFFICULTY: SS

THE KING OF THE FOREST AWOKE FROM ITS SLUMBER AFTER IT REALIZED THAT ITS FELLOW PEOPLE WHERE ALL SLAUGHTERED AND IS SEEKING REVENGE, DEFEAT THE CHIMERA AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED.

REWARDS: +3 LEVELS, 10,000 REPUTATION, 300,000 GOLD, TITLE: DEFORESTATION

PENALTY: -2 LEVELS, YOU WILL BE BANNED IN ENTERING THE MYSTIC MOUNTAINS FOREVER.


"Heok?!"


The creature's body was of a lion, its tail was made of a snake and it's feet from behind was  of a goat's. It's black and sharp claws leaves a deep scratch from the ground whenever it steps, the saliva coming out from its wide mouth melted the rocks from the ground and turned the grasses into ash.

When it opened its mouth, a voice similar of a devil could be heard.


" Are you the man who has wipe out all of the creatures in my forest while I was asleep?! "


Every word it spoke made the trees shake violently and collision of wind blasted towards my direction.


" Khouk!~ could you keep it down? "


( sfx of an angry growl )


It pounce it's goat legs towards me that left a small crater on the ground. It was able to reach at me in just a second.


(sounds of slicing a rock)


Everytime it slashes it's paws, the claws easily penetrated through my hard body. If I was the old me, I would've already been turned into bits of meat and flesh.

' That joint attack took up this much of damage? '


It attack depleted my health to 7/10 and I was left with only 1/4th of my remaining HP.


I backed out and tried to pull out a potion on my inventory but I forgotten something.


' Shit! I don't have any health potions! '


I had forgotten about potions, it was very essential to every player and if one wouldn't bring one, his chances of winning a hunt was very low.

I remembered Madra's blood that regenerated 2% of my main health when I hid my presence


"Stealth!"


I disappeared from the chimera's view and used this time to make a strategy. 


' I need to atleast regain 80% of my health and counterattack on its scary claws. Since it has also a tail of a snake that has eyes that could track the position of its enemy, it won't be long to find my whereabouts.'

John a handsome Filipino schneet who stopped school had became broke when all of his allowance was used to pay a capsule in a famous game called Pangea. Also in the game, he was still unfortunate and was struggling but since a quest was given to him, it change his life from one of the weak to the most OP player in the game. The problem was that only a few people know of his real existence and try to hide his powers to the public, but will his secret be forever unknown? or unfortunate events will happen to him causing him to reveal his true powers to the world?

Abby went through the next year in a blur. She forced herself to keep studying because it was the only thing that kept her going. She stopped spending time with her friends and spent way too much time looking through old memories of her sister. 
Photo albums. Home videos. Katie's diaries and social media accounts. It was impossible to accept that she was truly gone even though Abby didn't get her daily random texts anymore. 
Graduation was especially hard. A few of her aunts and uncles had come out for the occasion but it wasn't the same. Her parents should have been there. Katie should have been there. 
Losing her parents had been horrible but at least she had Katie to hold her together. Who was supposed to hold her together now that she had lost her best friend? 
Abby got a well-paid graphic design job right off the bat and buried herself in her work. But when she wasn't able to do that, she decided to finally get to the list of things Katie had always bugged her about watching and reading that she never had time for. 
Comics. Novels. TV shows. She spent several months consuming all that media and frequenting stopping to sob as she wondered which parts her sister had wanted her to see the most. She only recommended things she was certain Abby would like. 
 Once that list was complete, Abby felt like she had lost her sister all over again. There was nothing left that Katie was telling her to do. 
That was how she ended up desperately checking her sister's old Goodreads account for every book she had ever bothered to post a review for, both good and bad. She found herself frequently agreeing with the reviews Katie had left behind. 
Even though not all of the books were her cup of tea, Abby felt a little closer to her sister again. She was a bit confused when she got to From Pastry Chef to Princess though. For the first time, she didn't agree with Katie's review. 
'If you're looking for a cute, cliché fantasy love story with 2-D characters and minimal world-building this is the book for you. (I literally only read it because someone left it behind at the doctor's office and I was stuck waiting for three hours)'
What about these characters was 2-D in her mind? Sure, Prince Alpheus had been pretty boring at first but Catherine du Pont was a riot. Watching him fall for her had actually been pretty fun even though she was frustratingly resistant to him. 
The book was in his point of view, which didn't make a lot of sense. It seemed more like Catherine, who preferred to be called Katie, was the main character. But the synopsis on the back of the novel had clearly indicated this book was about Marcy. 
Abby's heart ached as she read because this Katie reminded her so much of her own. Tears ran down her face as she laughed at some of the things this girl said and did. It was a fantasy novel but she didn't act like she belonged in it at all. 
She was surprised that things like pizza and doughnuts were included in the book, especially since none of the other characters seemed to know anything about them. There were a lot of inconsistencies like that. 
The book's Katie was a know-it-all bookworm with a weird sense of humor just like her sister. And she seemed oddly like one of those transmigrated characters in the comics from the list Katie gave her even though everyone else truly believed she was Catherine du Pont. 
Abby became more and more confused as the story went on. The only reason she hadn't stopped reading at all was because she felt oddly drawn to this character and what she was dealing with. 
More than halfway through the book, she read something so shocking that she dropped it slipped right through her fingers and onto the ground.  
"My name was Katrina Pullman but I had gone by Katie my entire life. I am not from Annalaias or any of the surrounding nations. I am from another world in a place called Arizona. Everything I ever said was from the country…was actually from my home.
"All of my knowledge came from things I learned back home. Jellyfish…politics…card games…hat looms….I want to be a librarian because that was my job before. I died in a carriage accident and somehow woke up in Catherine du Pont's body."
All of the odd things about Katie finally fit together in her husband's mind as she continued to speak but Abby felt like she might pass out after checking the next several pages multiple times to be sure she wasn't hallucinating. 
Was this some kind of sick joke? How would this author have even known that Katrina Pullman died in a car accident? Let alone that she had lived in Arizona and had a sister named Abby? 
There were too many specific details from Katie's life in this book. The author had to have known her but that didn't make sense either. Katie had been such a private person. She spent all of her free time alone or video chatting with her little sister when Abby wasn't swamped with homework or had other plans. 
She frantically flipped the book over to check who the author was. Janine Everett. Abby had never heard of her. She wanted to angrily demand how her sister had ended up inside this author's story—was there no respect for the dead anymore?—but she was compelled to finish it first to see if there were any more weird facts about Katie in there. 
Abby ended up rereading the entire book twice, skipping over unimportant parts that didn't specifically mention anything weird or different about Katie. She wrote down every single instance in a notebook, with page and paragraph numbers for reference. 
The next thing she did was track that author down. She had a website—apparently this wasn't the only book she had ever published—and on it was an email address for fans to contact her through. 
She sent a very strongly worded message demanding to know what was going on with this book. To her surprise, the author wanted to meet with her face to face so they set up a time to video chat.

Katie Pullman, a chronically ill girl who spends her life immersed in fiction, suddenly finds herself inside a novel she has read. Thrown right into the thick of things, she desperately tries to keep the plot intact but happy endings aren't always as they seem...

Description

He was born anew in a world where martial arts were indistinguishable from magic. He’d only received a neuronet and meaningless desires from his past life. What lies ahead? He’d dreamed of adventure and freedom, but those dreams were taken away from him. The same way his mother, father, and sister had been taken away. They took his Kingdom, they even took his destiny. But he is willing to wage a war, against the whole world if need be, to bring everything back. Even if a whole army opposes him, his sword won’t waver. Even if the Emperor sends entire legions against him, his step won’t falter. Even if demons and gods, heroes and villains alike, unite against him, he won’t bend to their will. His own will is iron itself, unstoppable. His name is Hadjar and he heeds the call of the dragon heart within him. 

This novel contains uncensored scenes of battle that may or may not include depictions of violence and gore. Read it at your own risk.

 

“Do you know about the joint conference of the eastern guilds?”

Celine asked.

“Joint conference?” Leylin repeated. In the Twilight Zone, there was a parliamentary system, but it was simply a compromise between all the large and small organisations.

One would be able to understand just by taking these words literally. Besides, Aaron had also information about this in his memories.

“My apologies! I’ve been wandering in the borders of the regions and I don’t know much about this. I’ve heard something, though. Isn’t it a conference where multiple guilds segregate their rankings and profits?”

Leylin answered.

“Exactly!” Celine’s wry smile became more prominent. “The joint alliance is a grand occasion for the Magi in the eastern capital. Every twenty years, all the guilds in the eastern capital will gather. Nine council members will, in their capacity as hosts, mediate all conflicts, conduct another election, and divide territories.”

“Even the rating of guilds will be decided during this joint conference! As long as they are not large-scale guilds, all can apply, and after some inspections, territories will be redistributed, with more benefits… The guilds that do not meet the requirements to hold their ratings will be demoted, and the territories they hold and most of their rewards are transferred to other new guilds.”

“So, what you wanted to ask me concerns this rating!” Leylin pondered while looking at Celine.

“Yes, my lord!” Celine bit her lips.

“Because of my mentor, Nature’s Alliance’s rating during the previous joint conference was that of a small-scale guild. My strength is inferior to my mentor’s, so my ranking will cause us to fall till we aren’t even rated. In this case, most of our benefits have to be given away, and since we can’t enroll many acolytes, Nature’s Alliance will eventually die out.”

Through Celine’s explanation, Leylin had a better understanding of the rating system.

Generally, there were four rankings. They were the unranked, small-scale, middle-scale and large-scale guilds!

From Leylin’s perspective, as long as there was one official Magus in the guild, they would be unranked. Most guilds in Twilight Zone had this rating.

Above that was the small-scaled guilds like Nature’s Alliance. They possessed specific areas where they made profits, such as the icy caves, and there were usually a few official Magi or even semi-converted Magi taking charge.

There were then the middle-scale guilds. Not considering other details, at the bare minimum, they needed to have a peak rank 1 Magus.

In large-scale guilds, they were the elite guilds with rank 2 Magi in charge. Since the establishment of the joint conference, there were only a handful of instances where guilds were rated to be large-scale. Every time this happened, there would be a huge revolution involving the deaths of countless Magi.

The evaluation was not necessary to be in tandem with a Magi’s rank, as battle power differs even within a rank itself.

Hence, the ratings relied entirely on battle power! They would usually exchange hands with others of the same rank, and the shedding of blood on the battlefield was not uncommon.

Of course, there was another method. As long as one submitted research material that the nine council members approved of, one could also be rated according to the merits of the research. However, this was an extremely difficult process, and few had passed through the rating review using this method.

Celine’s mentor was said to be astonishingly powerful. Though he had yet to become a semi-converted Magus, he had somehow drawn a tie with a semi-converted Magus and had thus been thought to have an equivalent level of strength. Nature’s Alliance had thus been acknowledged to be a small-scale guild and received permits to estates and mines.

If their rating went down this year, all of these would naturally be revoked, and without these resources, Celine alone would not be able to continue managing the Nature’s Alliance. Hence, she had no choice but to look for outside help.

However, a semi-converted Magus was already considered an elite within the ranks of rank 1 Magi. At most, they would have been groomed by other organisations.

Though Celine had attracted the attention of a few official Magi, some of whom were inferior to her, with the allure of her body, what use was it? The rest were like Skrill who had some ulterior motives, and Celine didn’t dare to make use of them.

Leylin’s appearance gave Celine a sliver of hope.

“As long as my lord agrees to lead us in the joint conference, everything in Nature’s Alliance will belong to you, including myself!” Celine slowly took off her coat, revealing her delicate body.

Under the translucent light that shone on her pale, exquisite skin, she was even more alluring. Along with that expression of one preparing to die for her cause, it made one have the desire to ravage her.

“But why me? If these are the conditions, I believe there are many Magi, such as Skrill, who are willing.”

Leylin was expressionless. Women were merely for him to cope with stress. Sex was not anything special after he performed it one too many times.

“If I’m going to sell myself, I’m obviously going to sell it to someone more powerful. Skrill had been a candidate, but he was already responsible for another guild, and his appearance is a little too strange.”

Celine’s answer was direct and very practical.

*Pak! Pak! Pak!*

Leylin applauded. “Intelligent! Rational! Able to see the big picture! Fine. I’ll go to the joint conference with you!”

“In that case, I’m yours now, my lord!”

A blush appeared on Celine’s cheeks…

……

The next day, with Celine guiding, Leylin strolled around the headquarters of Nature’s Alliance. He then went straight to the library and did not emerge from it.

As for indulging in pleasures of the flesh? Leylin merely satisfied his needs every once in awhile. He could resist it during such crucial times.

Celine naturally understood this. After seeing Leylin in a hurry to pounce and start flipping through the books, she tactfully retreated.

Leylin watched her back and nodded. He was quite satisfied with this woman—she was rational, smart, and rather pretty.

“A.I. Chip, record!” He ordered silently, his eyes flashing with blue light.

After all, Nature’s Alliance was a Magus guild. There were thousands of books gathered in the library, including information about the culture, geography, and politics in the Twilight Zone, amongst other information. More importantly, there was an account of the Magus World.

These were all things that Leylin now lacked. As such, he did not restrain himself at all and ordered the A.I. Chip to record everything.

As time passed, the database in Leylin’s A.I. Chip was enriched. He now had a very profound understanding of the Twilight Zone.

Leylin proceeded further in, and even browsed in a few of the secret libraries within Nature’s Alliance.

Some of these areas were forbidden territories and acolytes were not allowed to enter. However, he was now a famed professor in Nature’s Alliance. After agreeing to Celine’s request, he basically had control of this area, and there was no issue at all.

The items in the secret rooms obviously held more precious things than what was displayed in the public areas.

Not only was there large amounts of research data, there was also information from Magi expeditions, regarding meditation techniques, reserves of high-grade content and even some conjectures by senior Magi.

To be honest, at Leylin’s level, general research materials and information were not much to him.

What he really cared about were the hypotheses and speculations of the senior Magi.

Though a lot of them were proven wrong by the A.I. Chip’s calculations, they could still provide some new ways of thinking for Leylin.

In addition, there were differences between the studies in the subterranean world and in the south coast. The essence of these differences was worthy enough for Leylin to use as a reference.

“Hm?”

At this moment, Leylin had unintentionally flipped to a page that held research material that he was interested in.

“The maintenance and mending of the sea of consciousness!”

This was a very old scroll. It was a volume formed of leaves strung together, with information recorded on it using images and words, and it had an aura of nature.

What was written down had left Leylin astonished.

His sea of consciousness had been injured while using the ancient teleportation spell formation, and even the edges had cracks.

The A.I. Chip could only give the suggestion of solidifying spiritual force and slowly mend it.

Hence, Leylin was now unable to use part of his spiritual force, and only had the strength of a peak rank 1 Magus.

Though this was effective, it was just too slow.

After two years of recuperation in the town, his injuries had recovered by just a small amount. Leylin was getting impatient and was seeking a way to accelerate this process.

“A.I. Chip, record this information and analyse the feasibility of this method for me.”

The sea of consciousness was linked to the roots of Magi and Warlocks. Leylin did not dare act without caution.



“So low?” Leylin was in disbelief, and could only force a laugh. One’s sea of consciousness differed from person to person, and it was only natural that the mending method had such an effect.

“But it’s a good thing that it works. I’ll gather more information on this topic and let the A.I. Chip design a treatment plan based on the state of my body. The rate of success will then increase!”

Leylin comforted himself.

The books in the secret rooms did not have information on just this topic.

A lot of the information here was useless or even harmful to acolytes but was extremely useful for Leylin.

He had even found a notebook with reflections concerning the use of rank 2 spells. It seemed to have been written by a great Magus.

Nature’s Alliance was merely a small guild, and there had never been a rank 2 Magus here. He wondered where they had obtained this from.

But Leylin accepted this with a smile. This notebook could supplement the rank 2 spell models that he had received from Celine.


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.

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*

As I said the last part I released some of my killing intent, I saw the color draining from there faces as they slowly backed out of the shop.

Once they were gone I stud up, took out a stone from my robe and walked towards Jacob.

"Kid hold this."

As he took the rock from my hand a staff appeared in its place, in just a second the rock disappeared.

 I walked back to the counter.


"Sir what was that?"

"Purified dragon blood."

It seems like it worked.

"Thank you very much Sir."

What I did was fairly simple, I fused the dragon blood with his making hint not only a lot tougher but also increase his talent.

"Don't sweat it, can you by any chance make sure none of those government guys come bother me any more?"

"That would be difficult, my family mostly does business. But I can talk to my uncle he is a general in the army. Maybe he can help you sir."

"Haha, that's even better, here give him this."

I trow another orb towards him .

"That's a 3 star sword techniques ocean cutting sword just make sure he gets it." 

"Yes sir."

--Jacob-------------------------------------------------------------

I just got a sms from a friend, it seems something interesting has happened.

He sent me a video of someone doing magic it looked realy cool so I wanted to check it out.

Going down stairs I saw uncles Phil and Gorge watching TV. 

They aren't actually my uncles but I've known them ever since I can remember. They are my bodyguard.

It was difficult convincing them to go outside, lately there has been some wield stuff going one monsters appearing I heard that there were even once that can use magic.

Most people don't know jet because the government has been trying to keep it a secret but they can't pull the wool over our eyes.

It was just a 10 minutes ride to get there, the store front liked as magical as in the video.

I walked in slowly making sure to observe everything in the store, there were 6 book shelf's with thousands of books on them, a big table in the middle and a counter in the back.

Behind the counter set a man just a little older then me but with a look in his eyes as if he seen enough suffering to last him a life time.

I decided to just walk up to the man.

"hello, what so you sell here?"

I always try to be polite especially with people I don't know.

"Just some books, some scrolls and a appraisal service."

I get the selling books and scrolls but what is a appraisal service. I think he's just me sing with me, but I'll play along 

"one of those appraisal services then please."

"Just go to that room and put your hand on the crystal ball."

As he pointed to the door neer the stairs I was thinking what this appraisal mith be

but the I realized I can't just walk in what if he asks for some crazy price after words

"How much would that cost?"

"Your my first customer so you don't need to pay. If they want to be appraised to that will be 100 pounds per person."

free now that's a good price, even if he tries to rip me of after ward I'll still be in the right so I decided to give it a try.

Walking in I saw a red stone siting on a small platform in the middle of a empty whit room, touching it I saw a couple of rows of words appear in front of me 

[Name: Jacob Gibson
level: gunman 2
         hand to hand combat 6]

[Strength:18   Endurance:22   Agility: 26 Intelligence:1  Wisdom:1   ]

[Talent: sword: C 
              magic: C
              production: F]

This blow my mind, my name is correct but that was not all.

three days ago I was relaxing In a town not to for from here.  When on my way back I encountered a huge sworm of ants the size of my chose luckily I train down in hand to hand combat before so I know how to defend my self and I had a gun with me in my car for protection I couldn't  escape so I had to fight after using up all my bullets I stated using punches and kicks they ran from me after I killed about 100 of them but what I didn't realize until the next day was that I became stronger and not just 2 or 3 times stronger no I could now kill a lion with ease I didn't try but I'm sure of it. 

Can lion brake a steel pipe with just one hand, we I can.

This is also why I bereaved the video maybe real.

Seeing me come out of the room the shopkeeper put a piece of paper and a pen on the counter.

"right it down so you don't for get anything."

"Thank you." 

''If you have any questions now is the time to ask.''

I do have so many questions but the one I realy want answered is:

''How are talents rated?''

''talent is rated from S to F, F being the worst possible grade.''

''Then how good is a class C talent?''

I didn't care that he now know my talent is C rate, I can feel it from him he is strong to strong. 

No mater what I do I don't think I can catch up with him.

''It's above average with it you could learn up to tier 4 magic or become a sword master easily, of course with work you could go further but that depends on your luck.''

I was very disappointed I don't know about magic but I know that on a scale from S to F C isn't good.

''I advise you to pick one of those techniques and start learning, maybe go kill some more monsters."

I quickly started reading every book that looked interesting from any kind of magic fire, water, appraisal, formations scroll making I noticed that they are all from tier 1 to 4. then I went to the sword arts, bow techniques, hand to hand combat ... shelf's the were rated from 1 to 2 stars. 

I heard the door opening, braking my concentration.

looking behind me I saw Hannah Johnson and her grandfather.

This girl, I realy don't want to meet her, because of her pretty face she has been treated like a princess.

I always avoid her when I go to social event but here she is again.

Luckily Mr. Johnson stopped her from talking to me.

"Were on official buisness here don't cause trouble."

" Sorry grandpa."

"Mr. Johnson."

I just gave him a him a simple greeting to be polite.

"Jacob what are you doing here?" 

"A friend sent me a video of some weird stuff happening here so I came to check it out."

"That's to risce of you, we both know that strange things have been happening lately."

Of course I know that but what do you have to do with that. 

I can already see why he is here he's gone course me big problems. I need to make him understand not to mess with this place.

But I can't sei something that offends rhetoric owner.

"But Mr. Johnson  this place has all kinds of different magical stuff look at there."

I tried to showed him a lists of scrolls even even a kid could understand how powerful any one of these are.

"Grants we need to finish our buisness here."

Shit up ignorant girl don't you see I'm trying to show you elder something.

Ok keep calm 

"I would like to talk to the manager."

Old fool do you have any idea how difficult your making your own life right now.

"And I would like a million pounds."

No, the shopkeeper doesn't look very happy 

" Just sei what you want."

"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO MY GRANDPA LIKE THAT."

This time I realy panicked. She just screamed at a god dame great wizard.

Can you at least try to understand what you're dealing with. 

"I want to talk to the owner please."

"I'm the owner, what can I do for you."

"I'm just want to know what your selling here and we're it came from."

I can already guess what comes next.

" I sell some books that I wrote my self."

"I don't think so just last week a shipment of books was stolen I suspect these are stolen goods. I hereby confiscate them all. And you need to come with me to the police station."

I have to stop him now, before its to late.

"Mr. Johnson what is happening here."

I don't realy like having anything to do with these political people but I don't have a choice this time.

I was traped in a dungeon for a while and now the world is being takeover by monsters.

The Hidden Scripture Library was huge.

That was the first impression that he had of the place, and he had to force himself to look away from the stacks and stacks of books, so that he could listen to what Chen Xing had to share with him, as they walked along aisle that led through the same.

"Well, this place is called the Hidden Scripture Library because of an event that took place during the time of the Fourteenth Grandmaster. It seemed his Master had hidden a martial arts manual in here, and sent him and his two elder disciples to go and hunt for them.

"Of course, the prize was that the finder would end up being the new Grandmaster. Needless to say, the Fourteenth Grandmaster managed to solve the riddle and thus win the prize," Chen Xing finished with a soft laugh, as he pointed at the stacks ahead.

"If you are interested, you can look through the old stories part of the bookshelves ahead. The way that it is written is far more fascinating than the crude way that I tell it."

Qin Feng had nodded absently at that, while he took in the sheer number of volumes there were on the ground floor alone. And these weren't even the ones on martial arts! What sort of people would bother to keep so many books on so many different subjects, all in one place?

But he didn't really have a chance to dwell on that. The old man was talking again, and he forced himself to pay attention:

"Don't bother to ask me how many books there are in here, because I have no idea at all. This place has been here ever since the School was founded, and it has gathered more books and tomes with generation that passed through its gates. So it stands to reason that no one can finish reading everything in here."

Chen Xing smiled at him almost indulgently then, as if showing off a great prize to someone who was appreciative of the same. Qin Feng didn't really care. He was just surprised that there could be so many books gathered into one place. Of course, now that he had heard Chen Xing's explanation, it all made sense.

After all, it was easy to see how it was done, since it was the effort of multiple generations.

"Where we are going is on the second floor. That is where all of the common martial arts manuals are kept. Most of them have multiple copies, but you may end up choosing one that is popular, and so you will have to wait for someone to return it first. But no need to worry. There is a strict rule that requires one to return the manuals within two moons."

Then Chen Xing paused, and looked at him with a warning in his eyes. "Don't even think about the third floor. That's the Restricted Section, where only the Inner School disciples - and not all of them, mind you! The most important martial arts books are kept there."

There was a certain reverence when the old man said that. And Qin Feng could feel the respect emanating from Chen Xing. It was rather clear that the old man wanted nothing more than to head up there himself. Well, that was something that he wasn't going to be able to do anything about!

"Enough of that. Come! Let me show you where the stairs are!"

Qin Feng nodded at once. He felt a certain excitement, as soon as he heard that. Wasn't that the reason why he had come to the Heaven Sword School in the first place? The rest of the manuals were just a waste of time for him, but he had to get his hands on the Jade Tree Scripture! That was the one thing that would allow him to match the inner martial arts techniques that he had in his possession!

Still, he couldn't give himself away, he reminded himself, as he did his best to maintain his somewhat nonchalant demeanour. Walking into the Library, he stuck close to Chen Xing, and listened carefully to what the old man had to say:

"There aren't any specific rules regarding the manuals, but some of them, like I said, are a little more popular among the new Outer School disciples. So, you might not find any remaining copies here. However, all of them are suitable for improving your qi and your body, until you complete the Foundation stage and bring yourself up to the Basic, or Qi Accumulation, Realm.

That meants the manuals that would be suitable for you are only good for the next year or so. After that, you should have already progressed to the Qi Accumulation Realm, and will need a new Breathing technique."

Qin Feng simply nodded, acknowledging the old man's words. But he only looked over some of the manuals while Chen Xing was there beside him. After all, he didn't want to let the old man see what sort of Foundation martial art manual he was going to pick.

Of course, there was a possibility that the School had already lost their copy of the Jade Tree Sixteen Breathing Exercises. Or that someone else had already borrowed it. Or it might have been rated more highly than expected, over the years, and placed in the Restricted Section. But he doubted that it would be the case.

Foundational manuals didn't stay with the ones who borrowed them very long, since most would rush through that level of training. Not to mention, there were a lot more easier techniques that would give a similar result. So, most of the disciples of the Heaven Sword School would likely take up one of the others, and leave this particular one alone.

Hopefully.

There were other disciples in the Library, and some of them were clad in the dark blue over-robes that marked them as Inner School disciples. Which meant that everyone else moved out of the way where they walked. But they didn't seem to put on any airs, and nodded their thanks to those that moved aside.

Well, those who bothered to pay attention to their surroundings, that is. There were many disciples, both in the dark blue and grey robes alike, who were so engrossed in what they were reading that Qin Feng doubted that they even knew if it was day or night!

So he judiciously decided to stay well away from that lot. They were likely to be trouble, if they had their reading disturbed.

Then Chen Xing waved a gnarled hand at a corner of the ground floor, and he noticed the stairwell that had been hidden behind the rows and rows of bookshelves at last. Immediately, he could feel his own heartbeat accelerate from anticipation!

"Come on then. Let us go up and pick out your new martial arts manuals."

* * *

Join Qin Feng as he tries to get rich, dealing in the resources that most martial artists require!
Of course, getting his hands on the same is going to be more troublesome than he had expected, when a war, fighting over the succession, too many pretty women and having no time to practice his own martial arts start messing things up for him!
