In the first book, Hadjar lost it all. His body ruined, parents dead, and his title of Prince replaced by a slave collar. It seemed like Primus had deprived him of everything.
But no one can take away a man's will to fight. Even if his heart turns into a bleeding stone due to endless grief and suffering, it won't matter.
The most important thing was that he still had the will to go on. The thought of taking revenge on his family's murderers gave him the strength to survive.
After receiving a piece of the mighty Dragon's heart, he regained his strength and enlisted in the army, where he made real friends and fought by their side in many battles. He started harnessing his new power and acquiring great knowledge.
Hadjar has already had many adventures, but this is only the beginning of his great journey, full of magical mysteries, palace intrigues, epic battles, tempestuous love and the cultivation of his power...

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.

I will not mind at all.



Absolutely never will.



I only want to see your smile again.



Return to holding your hand.



Even though, I will kill the person you love



In this world.



This is proof of my love for you.



I want to repeat that ...



Even though I sold my soul to that person ...



I will do everything ...



To have you again ...



To come back to see you again ...



(I will write it in the little girl's diary.)



***



Xi is just stunned.



He does not know.



What things have made him say those things.



The things he really didn't want to say. He didn't expect it at all. That tightness in his chest made him say things he really didn't want to say.


Is something wrong with Xi?


Something was wrong with Xi.


However, unfortunately, he did not know it.


For the most time, I've seen.


Many doubts in their eyes.

Doubt and other things that make them not understand.


I really don't know and believe.


Maybe it's because I don't always learn from them.

Don't always learn from seeing, reading, staring and listening to them.


I have only seen them now ,that they are still doubtful and uncertain.


Doubts and hesitance lead them to a way. 


The way is dark and does not have a speck of bright light.


After that, they will fall.


Falling into a deep ravine. Then they will realize that they who are called humans are creatures not even superior to me.

Then, why do I have to give this world to them?

The humans?

They will realize that they have made a mistake.

They will realize that mistake after being eaten by lust. Mistake after being eaten by anger.

Then, they feel regret.

"What I just now said ..."

Xi bowed down.

He can't answer the question in his head.
He can't read and hears his heart.


So, he has failed to understand.

The last thing Xi can see is that Li Yuan expresses annoyance and anger before the girl leaves himself at the dinner table.

Sometimes I have thought.

Isn't it better for humans to create a kind of honesty mirror?

Haven't you ever remembered a mirror in the story of Snow White and the seven dwarves?

The mirror is a mirror that reveals honesty and truth.

"Mirrors, who is the most beautiful person in the world? "

Have you ever imagined if the mirror answered with a lie?

Then, there won't be a story of a snow princess and seven dwarves you have often read as your sleep story, right?

The snow princess will not fall asleep and meet her prince.

There will never be a story that ends happily like that.

Although, I say that happiness stories are the way humans entertain themselves.

The ways they create a delusion.

A most beautiful delusion.
Then, I will tell all people that all of them are false.

Everything is fake.

A bad mother and a beautiful princess? Do you really believe that there is such a story?

But something is clear.

And you need to remember.

Unfortunately, humans have no mirror of honesty at all.

It's just a contrived delusion.

A way of deceiving themselves to say that they have an honesty.

So they will not need to do that honesty with themselves.

***

"Sensei ... "

Xi stood in front of Li Yuan's room.

Li Yuan had locked the door of her room after leaving Xi at the dining table.

Li Yuan did not answer Xi's call.

It had been thirty minutes since Xi said the words he shouldn't say.


"Sensei ... Are you inside ...?"

But there was still no answer from Li Yuan.

"* Sigh ... I apologize with my words just now ..."

"Well ... You know after we came home from Xin Lan, I was actually yesterday ... A little drunk ..."

Xi lied to himself.

A little drunk?

All of Xi's sake has been drunk by Lan Lan.

And he said he was drunk?

That was Xi's answer because he could not answer questions and strangeness in his heart.

A Xi way to answer only by mouth and words.

"... "

"So I will apologize to you ..."

"My words are a bit excessive about ... breasts ... flat and so on ..."

"Well ... You already know that ... I have been overdoing something a bit ..."

"I ... so really regret my words ..."

Xi always feels guilty feelings for the girl.

However, he did not know the reason, why would he always end up apologizing to Li Yuan?

I have no idea...

I had thought that Xi had not yet realized.

That little pieces in his heart were broken by Chu Yana and Yang Jie, accidentally collected by the girl, Li Yuan.

The same piece of the past.

The pieces made him feel it all.

But he won't know. He will never understand. Because I made him forget.

The pieces are rearranged when Xi cries in the arms of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's piece had covered a little of the hole and wound in his heart.
Even though I said that the pieces were not new pieces ...

However, the pieces still look rather fragile. So, Xi doesn't know and realize that.

That there had been a picture of Li Yuan for a long time in a new piece.

I have seen the same story.
Repeatedly.
Again and again.
Until I'm bored and make new stories. 
Write and write again. 

Repeat and repeat it again.

So, I gave the name [Restart]

Then, later one day I will charge the little girl.
Take everything that I should have.

Because the little girl just wants to answer the feelings of the man who once loved her.

Xi knows that Li Yuan would not open it. 

In fact, when Xi tried to pull on the handle on the door and he already knew Li Yuan would not forgive him. Because the door was locked from the inside.

So, Xi just sighed.


"Sensei, I'll go back to the dorm ..."

"I guess…"

"I have thought that I will do what you asked before ..."

However, there was still no voice from Li Yuan.


So Xi thinks of leaving.


"Sensei ... I'll go back to the dorm ..."

He never know it..


" So ... I'll just say goodbye ... be careful when you back to your hometown,Sensei…"


When Xi is about to leave.
Li Yuan suddenly opened the door of the room. 

She called Xi.

"Beloved student?"

Li Yuan smiled.

Her smile is so sweet.

The appearance is still the same.

She is Li Yuan.

The Little girl.

Girls who live from the past.

-Why are you smiling? 

Xi can only complain in his head. 

"I already know that my beloved student will do this ... * Teheee ..."

LI Yuan poses like cute girl characters in anime and manga.

Then Li Yuan smiled even more happily than the previous smile.

Her pointed white fangs had been seen at the corners of her lips.

The smile is the smile of the little girl.

Xi just nodded.

Xi also smiled.

One reason makes him feel happy.

He was happy that Li Yuan still wanted to hear and see him.

However, there was something that had stuck in his mind.


That thing is.

-Why?

I have seen many stories from small quotes in books written by humans.

The books are basically written by many of the types of people.

A writer will make a storyline different.

Will it be a happy ending? 
Or will the story be a sad ending?

If you don't want to hear a sad story.

You should not continue reading it.

You will also think again to read this story.
But, do you really not want to see the truth, kid?

Don't you want to see honesty?

Don't you want to read and know about the things that are in the human heart?

Don't you want to understand so that you will keep things that are valuable to you?

However, people who will read the books will continue to enjoy it.

They sometimes smile.

Sometimes they are angry.

Sometimes they feel touched.

And they will cry.

If they see from the truth itself.

They will see the truth in my benchmark ...

But, have you ever read?

That there is a book that tells the truth and ugliness of other people?

The books do exist.

Books that will make people understand.

Letters that will make them understand.

From behind the expressions, they will know later.

However, they will never read the book because they will be afraid.

They were afraid they would understand the book.

They are afraid they will regret it.

They did not expect to read the books.

They did not expect to read the letters.

Never once, they don't want it.


But, their hearts say ...

They want to know what other people feel.

The same as you want.

The same as you feel.

You also don't want to hurt by telling the truth from behind the relationship.

So they will lie. Just like the little girl did.

Lying to get love from her past.

So that the little girl will cover up the parts of the person she loves and has loved her.

Then, the story will put a fake smile on the face of an innocent little girl.

Cover up, feeling sad, regret, anger and suffering that the little girl has experienced.

So, people believe that the little girl will be fine ...

Please don't read it.

Last Warning from Author


I already gave a hint from a strange title.

In this story I will not tell you what you imagine as a flower garden.

This story is a story that criticizes all the thoughts of each person in the real world.

Hatred, anger, authenticity, falsehood and many other things that do exist and are real.

There will be death.

There will be tears.

There will also be doubts.

Because this story is not a story about a beautiful flower garden.

This story is my criticism of humans.

What is written from the things that humans have.

From what humans feel.

The falsehood they display.

But, in this story you will know other people hearts.

Will be know.

That the human heart is more complicated than what you think.

You will know the truth.

That the human heart is not clear.

Enjoy emotions as a human being.

Xi Yang who ordinary simple student and has peacefully life. But , when he find his lover make affair with his bestfriend all his life change.

Hi, my name is Caitlyn Rivers. My life is just like any other student — school, study, rest and repeat. If there was one thing I would say was different from others, it would be that I am obsessed with reading. So much so that I have my own library; A total of 36 books. All my most favourite romance titles. 

Okay, maybe calling 36 books a library was exaggerating it a bit, but in my heart, it is the most awesome library. It even comes with my very own movie theater... Of 10 movies. But I bought them all with my own allowance! I am absolutely proud of my collection... But only at home. It's not that I don't want to show it off to others, but when you get too immersed talking about your hobby? Sometimes, mean people talk, and words do in fact hurt. 

Even so, I love reading them. I love watching them too! Novels, movies, even Japanese shoujo manga. I love immersing my thoughts into their worlds, dreaming about being the heroine of the story, finding my own love. 

One thing I never understood from them, was why the second leads are always just... Second. They are clearly just as handsome as the main lead, they are definitely much more approachable than the main leads, and some of them are even more perfect! If I were the heroines, I would definitely pick them.

At least, I wished real life worked as easily as the heroines in these stories. Too bad I'm much too introverted, much too shy to even be able to approach boys like that. But I've decided that this year, will be the year that I will try to make some friends of my own for once and maybe even find my own love in the process. Hopefully, with a new and improved mindset, I can finish high school with a bang! 

***********************

Dear Diary,
Tomorrow marks my first day in a new high school. We've settled in to our new home, and the only places I've familiarised myself with are this street we're on — and the small park opposite — but here's a fresh new entry to make a fresh new start!

I'm a little nervous on whether or not I can step out of my comfort zone, but I decided to try my best! 

Love always,
Kate

PS. I heard from mom that there are a couple of boys around my age on this same street. I wonder if they're close childhood friends, just like in those novels! <3

"I've read so many romance-genre works, and the outgoing, lively nice guy, never ends up with the girl. I've always wondered why. This is a story about me, a serial romantic who buries myself in romance books, and my very own nice guy."

A/N This story is written in first person and dedicated to all the nice guys in movies, novels and dramas, who didn't win.
P.S. The image, I believe, is a royalty free image (from the interwebs) which should hopefully be safe for use.

The film trailer was finally released. If it were any other indie film, it wouldn't garner much attention. After all, most indie film productions didn't have the resources to widely promote their films unlike major production studios. 

This film, however, wasn't just any other indie film. It had LX Productions as its backer. Although the film couldn't be promoted through traditional means like on TV or radio commercials, the web was another matter. 

As soon as the trailer was released, it became top featured on video streaming websites. It also played as an online ad in all major websites. This kind of heavy promotion was something only major production companies could afford. It immediately caught people's attention.

The film was titled "Strong Yet Broken". It was based on a true story. A life story that was familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.

It was familiar because it featured the story of Guan Jintao, the blind Paralympian gold-medalist swimmer who was the most famous disabled athlete in the country. His fame rivalled that of famous Olympian athletes because his inspiring life story was already adapted into movies, documentaries, and books. He was undoubtedly a legend in the country.

Given his fame and influence, why then was this new film an indie one?

The answer was simple. The film wasn't about Guan Jintao. It was about the unfamiliar life story of his mother.

It seemed that major production studios weren't interested in making this film because the main character was a broken woman. It was, in simple terms, a very dark story. 

Unlike the hopeful and triumphant adaptations of Guan Jintao's life story, this indie film about his mother heavily focused on the subject of dealing with depression after the death of a lover which morphed into postpartum depression that never really went away, eventually ending in suicide. It was the story of a woman desperately trying to stay strong for the sake of her disabled child when she was all broken inside from the death of her lover.

It was emotional, heavy, dark, and suffocating. An eerie sense of hopelessness and death permeated the story.

No major film production company wanted to make this kind of depressing film. Some of them expressed interest if more focus was given to Guan Jintao's character rather than on his mother, but doing so would change the essence of the story.

In the end, it could only be made into an indie film.

When people started watching the trailer, the reactions were mixed. Some were instantly drawn to it, while some were turned off by the dark tone. However, halfway through the trailer, their attentions were piqued once again.

An oddly familiar voice started singing familiar lyrics.

They finally realized what was going on.

The song was "Phantom of Your Love" by Iris Long!

It sounded so different from the original version. Only the lyrics were the same. The melody only retained a shadow of the original. Even Iris Long's voice sounded different—lower, deeper and more haunting.

"OMG! It's the mysterious film that Iris Long has been working on. Look at the credit. It says 'Original Music by Iris Long'!"

"I'm having chills. I think this new version of 'Phantom of Your Love' sounds even better than the original."

"Poster above, I disagree! I like the original version better. I don't like this new version at all! It sounds too dark. Thank goodness the trailer didn't play the entire song. I think I'm gonna have nightmares if I listen to the whole song. Ugh. I'm shuddering just thinking about it."

"Yeah! This new version is too dark! But based on the trailer, I think that it fits the film very well."

"Wow! It doesn't sound like Iris Long. The voice sounds more like the goddess of death. So dope!"

An hour later, JJ's record label made an official announcement.

"We are proud to announce that the new version of 'Phantom of Your Love' by Iris Long will be used as the official theme song of the upcoming independent film 'Strong Yet Broken', based on the riveting true life story of the late mother of Paralympian gold-medalist swimmer Guan Jintao. Iris single-handedly composed the entire film score. We are also excited to announce that we will be releasing the new version of 'Phantom of Your Love' together with the entire film score as a soundtrack album. It will be Iris Long's third official album with our record label. Please support the film and Iris Long's music. Thank you very much!"

JJ's record label also released an official sample audio of the song.

Iris and Bright Summit shared this post to their own followers. Because of this, "Strong Yet Broken" received even more attention. By the end of the day, the trailer became the number 1 trending video on the web. In extension, Iris' new version of "Phantom of Your Love" was also receiving a lot of attention.

When it was first announced that Iris Long was rearranging "Phantom of Your Love" to be more cinematic to make it suitable as a film's theme song, many fans made their own cinematic covers of the song. They even set up a betting pool online, competing against each other to see whose cover would be the most similar to Iris Long's version.

Now, however, after listening to the official audio sample, they unanimously agreed that nobody among them came even close to Iris' version. They didn't expect that she would make the already dark "Phantom of Your Love" even darker to the point that it sounded like music that came directly from the netherworld.

It sounded so eerie—the melody and most especially Iris' voice. Her vocals lacked the usual showmanship of high notes and modulation. This new version of "Phantom of Your Love" sounded like pure longing and darkness. It was beautiful to the point of being scary.

Those listening would feel their hair standing on end, like darkness was embracing and suffocating them, making their hearts tremble. The feeling was so unusual yet oddly thrilling at the same time. They couldn't wait to listen to the whole song. It was also making them want to watch the film.

Of course, the entire Black Stars were there to support their Boss Iris. With LX Productions' powerful promotions, the film was already making waves on the internet. But with the addition of the Black Stars and the buzz around Iris' new version of "Phantom of Your Love", an indie film managed to outshine other film trailers intended to become blockbusters by major production companies.

While all of this was happening online, Iris and Jin Liwei were on their way to Lin Yehan's farm villa. Jin Liwei was finally going to introduce his baby girl to his Fifth Brother.

A world-famous hacker and daughter of the most powerful criminal family who ruled the international Underworld for many generations is killed when their organization is annihilated in a single night.

She is reborn into the body of Iris Long, a teenage pop singer, wild party girl, and spoiled brat. For the former princess of the Underworld who lived an overprotected and shackled life, this new life is a chance to finally live the life of freedom and independence that she always wanted.

Jin Liwei is the most powerful man in the country's business world. Cold and ruthless, he is someone only a few dare offend. When the infamous Iris Long, who used to chase his younger brother, wakes up from a year-long coma, his unfeeling heart moves for the first time and he falls hard for this unexpected genius girl.

She wants to fly freely and soar high beyond the sky. He wants her everything, to tie her to himself and to never let her go.

This is her journey to super stardom. This is his journey in accompanying her. Together, they will rock the world while facing many challenges.

But what will happen when she discovers that she can never escape from the shadows of her previous life? Will she still be able to live her dream life of freedom and independence? Will he be able to protect her from the dangers?

Sato and Gray both headed into the orphanage. Of course, when the children realised that the pair was visiting, they immediately went on a frenzy spree. The newly painted door was opened and revealed a large number of children greeting the couple.

"Good morning Big brother Sato and Big brother Gray!"

"Ah! Big brother Sato is here to play with us again!"

"Hey guys! Don't forget to thank Big brother Gray for the awesome playground!"

"Oh, I forgot! Thank you, Big brother Gray!"

"Thank you!"

...

The atmosphere was exactly the same as before, just that this time, instead of just Sato getting all the attention, Gray too, was getting a fair bit of love from the children. Gray smiled and rubbed the little boy's head. When the Sisters of the Sunflower Orphanage saw Gray's smile, they couldn't help, but blush. Gray was simply too handsome.

"Alright, alright. We should let Sato and Gray into the orphanage. Don't make them stand outside in the cold for too long." Shooing the children away was a norm for Mother Maria. She gave Sato a hug and brought the pair around to see the progress.

It was Gray's first time back here, ever since he decided to just let the contractors do their job of renovating. As the couple first stepped into the hallway, what was once chipped wood flooring, had been refloored and varnished over to create a nice dark hardwood floor. The walls no longer had mossy stains from the damp old drywall and was replaced with a nice clean white cement plastered finish. The scratched up windows of the Orphanage from the wear and tear of the children's games had also been replaced with more durable alternatives.

The stairs that lead upstairs to the children bedrooms had also received a redo. Be it the steps on the stairs or even the railings, they had all been teared down and replaced with a smooth and cleaner finish that complemented the current new aesthetic. It was crazy how the contractor had managed to finish such a huge renovation in a short period of time.

Gray must've rushed the hell out of those poor man, thought Sato guiltily. Yet, when seeing the final product, he was still thankful for what Gray had done for the children and those that work in the orphanage. The children's two room had also been renovated over and now, the place was definitely more cheerful. The walls had been painted over with a bright yellow. The old beds had all been replaced with more comfortable double decker beds. In addition, on the wall near the entrance to the room, there was a brand new addition.

"Wow! Look at all these books!" Sato walked up to look at the new varieties of short stories that were available. The classic story time books like Cinderella, Pinocchio, Snow white and the Seven Dwarves, Bambi and many more, were placed on the tall bookshelf. The craziest part about this was that there were even books that Sato had never heard of when he was a child. For a crazy fanatic of studying, Sato was also an avid reader.

To be able to read a vast variety of books as a child, it gave Sato a good foundation when it came to writing essays and building up strong vocabulary. Now, the children would be able to do the same and not be stuck reading the same few books.

Sato looked behind him to find the culprit. He gave Gray a thankful nod and a smile. That was more than enough for the love-struck General.

... 

The day went by in a blink of an eye. Sato and Gray entertained the children in doors, ranging from card games to helping them with school work. Although the children were orphans, they were enrolled into the nearby public school that was free of charge.

Unlike Sato who felt and acted like a big brother, Gray was more like a teacher. Surprisingly, Gray was extremely patient with children. His cold and quiet aura was nonexistent when teaching the little kids. He was even able to explain to them using simple terms. By the end, everyone called Gray, Teacher Gray, instead of Big brother. Gray was very happy with his new nickname.

At night, after they had tucked in the children with a new bed time story, the pair could finally sit down and talk with Mother Maria. She was really thankful for everything that Gray and Sato had done. After all, this would not have been possible in her wildest dreams.

"It is really nothing, Mother Maria." Gray told her the truth. To him, these things were really nothing. It was the outcome that mattered more in this case. "I'm more than happy to see the children live in a better environment."

"Yes, yes. The children really adore you for what you had given them. Also, speaking of giving, I have good news to share." Mother Maria took out a clear file that contained several documents. On one of them, it had a picture of a little girl from the Sunflower Orphanage.

"After liaising with The Miracle Foundation, we received a response from them a week later. There was a couple that was interested in adopting, Little Leah. I met up with them to have a chat the other day and they seemed like really great people. So after a week of paperwork, they will officially adopt Little Leah tommorow."

The smile on Mother Maria face was extremely warm and blissful. She had waited many years for potential parents that would be willing to adopt these poor little children. Yet, it was never successful and so, in the end, there were many orphans that had to live independently once they cross a certain age. It was truly heartbreaking.

Tommorow would be the first successful adoption of the Sunflower Orphanage. The Three year old Leah would be brought into a loving home and loved by her new parents.

To the two boys that made it possible for this to happen, Mother Maria was very grateful and thankful for their kind souls.

Sato had to drop out of university as he lacked the funds to continue his education. Due to some unfortunate encounters, his original scholarship funds had disappeared and now he was forced to earn enough to carry on his education journey.

As such, he saw a advertisement ad recruiting a personal assistant in the military. Anyone could be eligible and not only that, the pay was high too. Immediately Sato applies for it, where he soon finds out that it was to be the Personal Assistant for a Major General of the Army of Country Z.

Ans. Actually none have fallen in love with each other. ZXY is kinda infatuated and thinks that he can get anything he wants. Pride issue i suppose! 

Yu Long might fall in love...but what will he do if he learns his parents died in the Qiying capital prison? Hmm...if I were he, I would love to keep ZXY as the enemy….and probably beg the author to change the book title...

4. What about Rahu and Yu Long?

6.How did Taijing react to the annexation of Qinshen and Xianghua?

Ans. Taijing was kinda selfish and coward, when ZhaoShu started with its annexation and gave up their eldest princess to the harem of ZhaoShu emperor. I haven't started their story line yet . But the ruler of Taijing is currently the Provincial Head of Taijing province.

7.What happened to the all the Qinshen people after annexations?

Ans. They are still the citizens of Qinshen. But after the loss of their ruler , most of them submitted themselves to the authority while some went to rebel against the ZhaoShu emperor. Their story will be soon introduced….(spoiler)

8.Who killed Yu Rong and Lin Na, if not XinYi?

Ans. Do you guys want spoilers? Well, you know its not XinYi...its someone else...who wanted them gone...against XinYi's scheme to keep them alive to use them as bait Long to him...must be someone who is looking for death in the hands of our demon emperor...

9.Favourite pairing?

Ans. I borrowed these names from some Asian astrology book...😛

14.Why you don't follow traditional Chinese statements or way of addressing?

Ans. Time taking...I write using MS Word. I get auto suggestions for English words not Chinese Romanisations… Sorry...

15.If you wanted to recreate a character, which one would that be? And why?

Ans. Actually I want to make Yu Long more courageous not cowardly… But screw it...its okay.. We will do something about it soon...

16.Concept of cores is kinda confusing. Can you elaborate?

Ans. Cores concept...kinda simple..

The cores are allotted based on family lines or genes....The maximum strengths of a golden core bearer is highest, then the silver, then the bronze….that is the maximum strength… But not all are able to achieve the maximum strength in this world...like people ask why is Lin Na a bronze core bearer when she is so strong...she is stronger than most silver and golden core users as they are failed to achieve the cultivation level that she is in…

The distribution of golden core is found in the ZhaoShu because the origin of golden core started with the two legendary dragons who descended the Heavens to live as humans...they were the only the golden core bearers...soon generation and generation this core started spreading in most parts of the world…

Feng Bi was a golden core bearer...so is Yu Long...but not Yu He...

Well… We've finally come to the end of Spirit Immortal. 

Hehe, I bet you guys didn't see it coming right? The cover of the book was actually the ending scene of the entire story! Haha, I did well to keep it under wraps for the two years I've been writing this story! Finally, I get to share it all with you!

For those that had stuck with me for the near two years, I've been posting Spirit Immortal… It's been quite the hell of a ride. There were many days where I wanted to quit writing this story and there were many times where I just wanted to say: "Fuck it! Let me just leave everything and just tell you the outline of Spirit Immortal straight up!" However, because of you guys, I gritted my teeth and completed the story. 

So… Before I begin the FINAL Author's Thoughts of Spirit Immortal, I want to give a huge thank you for all who supported me. Especially my Patrons, who had actually invested money into Spirit Immortal even though you guys didn't have to. There are some of you who have invested hundreds of dollars to support this project of mine and I don't know how else I could repay you for your continued support... 

Honestly, I lack the words to describe my gratitude, so I can only say this…

Thank you all for being the rock in my life, guiding me to complete the story that I dreamed about so many years back…

Alright, enough of the emotional stuff! Let's get to the real meat of the Author's Thoughts. This will be my longest Author's Thoughts yet so if you lack the time, you really don't have to read it all. However, for those that had read Spirit Immortal all the way, I'm sure that you'll find it all very interesting.

Let me divide it into sections first, just to keep me on track. Firstly, I'll be discussing the overall story of Spirit Immortal. How I conceived it from a theory that I had, the inspirations I took and ultimately… The ending that I'm sure only a percentage of you saw coming.

Secondly, I'll be talking about the challenges I had writing Spirit Immortal. My journey from a teenager in university that had no clue about how to write, to the man that I am now. The challenges that a new author in the web novel genre will come to face and hopefully, it'll teach any of you aspiring authors to not repeat the same mistakes that I'd made.

Thirdly, I'll be writing about the things that I would have done differently (ie, the things that I would want to do in future when writing future stories). Also, the lessons learnt that I wish to impart on my future self, as well as any budding authors reading this. 

Finally… I'm going to talk about my future works and how I'll be approaching writing web novels in the future.

It's going to be a long ride since I'll be trying to condense two years worth of experience into one document, so please bear with me.

Story of Spirit Immortal
As many of you know, I am a fan of Wuxia/Xianxia novels. They have played an integral part of my teenage life, giving me content to binge through while I rode through my schooling years. By now, you should be familiar with how I got into Wuxia/Xianxia, so I'll skip the long introduction and get to the reason why I imagined Spirit Immortal as a Wuxia.

I had a different take about Immortality than the other novels.

It was really as simple as that. In traditional novels, like Coiling Dragon or Doulou Dalu, the ultimate goal for the protagonist was to become an Immortal. Some even have realms above the Immortal Realm and they continually become stronger until they reach Godhood. It's a tale that we've all read before. However, my thoughts about Immortality are a little different.

I don't believe that Eternal Life exists. Or at the very least, not in the way Wuxia/Xianxia novels portray it. Let me explain.

What does Immortal mean? A literal definition means, not mortal. So, before we get to that, let's define what mortal means first. A mortal is any living thing that exists in reality, doing their best to continue their ultimate goal… To live. See, it doesn't matter if you are a human or a dog, a tree or a pig. We're all living creatures fighting against our final destination… death. As much as we don't like to admit it, all living things will die one day. That's what makes them 'living' in the first place. We have immune systems to protect against viruses. Possess various traits that will help us survive in our reality. Legs to run, arms to hunt, mouths to eat, sexual organs to reproduce…

All of these attributes are what makes us mortal. Which means that the desires that come from these attributes are also mortal desires. We hunger to live. We lust to reproduce and further on our genetic lineage. We anger to pump ourselves into action to defend our survival. Every single emotion that humans feel are linked to one main thing… To live. Even trees, which are effectively mortal, respond to changes and adapt to live. 

So what happens when you turn Immortal? All of our survival instincts, all of our desires that make us mortal… It all goes away. 

We will no longer want to do anything because we've already lost our most primal need to survive. Hunger becomes redundant since you won't die. Sexual desires disappear since there's no need for you to reproduce anymore. Feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, fear… All of them would be stripped bare of any mortal. 

Once we become 'Immortal' we cease being 'Mortal'. Sounds stupid to say out loud, but in most cultivation novels, the protagonist becomes Immortal but still acts as a Mortal. Desiring to grow stronger even though he/she has obtained eternal life. Lusting over new girls in the new realm. Feeling emotions that no Immortal should have… All of these got me wondering…

How could I make a story about an Immortal with this logic that I have?

And then it hit me… The journey.

I have to make a journey tale, one where the protagonist starts from nothing and obtains everything that he'd ever thought possible. And it's not like the journey was perfect. Shin lost people on the way. Learned lessons from a myriad of characters. Took on the journey of life to become the 'perfect hero' that was slated to become the next 'Immortal.' And at the end of it all… He'll realise that Immortality was just a lie made up by humans to feel better about his mortality. 

All humans live. All humans die. In the end, what really matters is the journey that we all take while we're living. It doesn't matter if you become a successful billionaire or a struggling pauper. It doesn't matter if you get to live your dreams or be a recluse that loves to watch shows all day. As long as you're satisfied with your life's journey. That's all that matters.

At least, that was what I was trying to convey in Spirit Immortal.

Remember when I said that I wanted to finish this story because I wanted all of you to see my ending? The ending that I created was to show what my thoughts were about mortality. The life of a mortal, the journey that said mortal would take and finally… The end that no one can escape from. Spirit Immortal isn't a story about Immortality like other Wuxias. It's a story about… Mortality.

I'll be the first to admit. I lost control over the story of Spirit Immortal halfway through writing it. The original storyboard was for Shin to have a single drive (Ariel's resurrection) to carry him all the way to the ending. The ending that would reveal that the Immortal Realm doesn't exist and they were all cogs in a wheel to power the World Spirit. However, as I wrote more settings, introduced more characters, the storyline became more convoluted.

I'm an author that doesn't like to keep things rigid. As I keep adding new things into the story, it would morph whatever narrative I'm trying to write. Kanari's introduction as the secondary love interest was the major turning point for Spirit Immortal as well. I'd initially thought of Kanari as a friend character that was ultimately there only to fuel Shin's growth and to eventually meet Ariel. However, as I'd thought about it… Would Shin really behave that way when a beauty and good-hearted person like Kanari was chasing him? Was love truly eternal and could Shin only be single-minded about one person till the very end.

Then there were more realistic scenarios that I could think of which broke Shin's motivations. Even if Yggdrasil was real and Shin resurrected Ariel, he would still be a mature adult while Ariel would be a fifteen-year-old girl. Was that really realistic for Shin to ignore Kanari, a beautiful woman who had been chasing him when he was a hormonal youth, for a future with an uncertain Ariel.

And finally, I wanted to put in the family aspect into Shin's cultivation life. Family was an important aspect of all human beings. It's what fuels our evolution as a race and what drives us to live yet another day. So, Shin has to have a family before he ascends. So that he could make the final decision that he made at the end…

To not return to Earth and warn people that Immortality was a choice that Shin had to make. The world needs to have this cycle. Cultivators trying to ascend to Immortality, only to become energy for the new generation to rise up. That completes the evolution cycle of the Spirit Immortal world and Shin can only understand that if he has children of his own.

I've hidden many clues throughout the early books about the true nature of the Immortal Realm as well. Remember in Book 1 when I said the Spirit Immortals "burst into energy?" Also, in Book 2, the Mushinkei, the Frie Clan's house in Chilyoja Waypoint, means "Godless" in Japanese. And who could forget the easiest clue that I gave you all? Dexsot Teinost? Literally you can rearrange the words to form "It does not exist." Yes, yes. Very similar to the Harry Potter one with Voldermolt, but still! None of you got it! I even made it clear that I like scrambling words around with the Frie and Awter Clan all the way back in Book 1! 

Challenges
The challenges of being a writer, particularly an online one, is a completely foreign concept to me when I first started writing. I began to write because of my love of it and I'd thought that it would be easy. There are literally thousands of stories online and they each had their own unique flair. Some of them were terrible, some of them were masterpieces. And well… I got inspired by both types.

The masterpieces made me fall in love with stories. The shit stories made me realise… Anyone could write. Particularly online when there were no gatekeepers like traditional books. So even someone like me, who has bad English and horrendous storytelling skills can actually write something to the masses. 

Thinking back, I really was young and naive.

The most challenging part of being a novelist isn't the lack of time, which believe me, I was always swamped. It wasn't even the social toll that it takes. I had to give up many social events or at least plan ahead many weeks because I stuck to this daily schedule of releasing a chapter a day. 

The most challenging part of being a novelist is… Writer fatigue. 

There were so many days that I just couldn't type a single word. I didn't know how to pen my story. I didn't know how to write my settings. I didn't want to write anything because of how burnt out I was… I lost all my love for Spirit Immortal after consistently writing about it for two years. I couldn't bring myself to the keyboard, distracting myself with youtube videos and other entertainment means.

I would miss the days where my fingers would dance on the keyboard. I remember there was once I wrote a thousand words in an hour, and ten thousand words in a day. However, at my lowest point of my writer's fatigue. I couldn't even write a thousand words a day. 

That's why as the story neared its end, the quality kept dropping. I couldn't bring myself to write two thousand words a day, which was the limit I placed on myself and could only come down to a thousand words. It was heart-wrenching, knowing that I was responsible for the dip in quality in Spirit Immortal, the story that all of you readers spent your valuable time to read. 

I could spin a thousand excuses. Not enough time to write. Meeting up with my friends. Real-life obligations. Real-life work comes first. However, all in all, the main reason why I couldn't write… It's because I was tired. I was falling out of love with Spirit Immortal, even though it was the story that I dreamt into reality. I wanted to keep writing, but the author inside of me didn't exist in the shape that he used to be in.

BUT! I'm glad I faced all of those challenges, particularly with my first long-form novel. I now know what challenges lie ahead of me and I know what I must do from now on. To not just grow as an author, but as a person as well. 

Lessons learnt
Major lesson learnt… Spend more time storyboarding, and less time writing. A chapter a day is all well and good, but if the quality is shit, why bother? So I decided from here on out. I will no longer be releasing daily chapters. Maybe I'll be releasing three or four chapters a week, or even less. I can't tell you for sure right now. This is to prevent burning out once again.

Writing is not equal to authoring. I'd thought that as long as I crafted a good story, I could be a good writer. However, I now know that I'm shit at writing. My English is bad, and my execution is subpar at best. So I will be learning more from other novels to hopefully bolster up my bad writing skills. I will keep evolving, or at least, that's my hope. I will come back a better writer that could flawlessly execute the marvellous stories that I crafted in my head.

The Future of Linodo
Easy. I'm not quitting just because I'd finished Spirit Immortal. I will be continuing my second story, "When the Lilyflower Blooms..." while writing my new standalone book which I had been putting off for the longest time. I won't be returning to Wuxia/Xianxia books because I realise I'm not cut out for this genre. I can't write the 1000-2000 chapters that the undying Chinese Authors can. I can only go for so long before I burn out. 

So Lilyflower will be my comeback in an alternate genre, magical reality. I plan to write Lilyflower for about 100-200 chapters, 300 max. I don't want to keep my story never-ending and open-ended. I just want to make sure that the journey is fun for all of you. 

I won't be writing a Spirit Immortal sequel or any short stories from here on out. If I want to move on, I have to close this chapter called 'Spirit Immortal' from my life. If you guys want, you can privately message me about the theories of Spirit Immortal and I'll be sure to discuss anything that you want. However, for the most part, my creativity will now be focused on Lilyflower and the other stories that I have conceived thus far.

The End
So yeah… That's it for Spirit Immortal! I hope you've enjoyed these two years as much as I did. No matter what I say about this story, no matter how much time I've lost writing this and spending my heart's emotions on it… Spirit Immortal will always be a part of me. It would be a story that I would return to every once in a while to laugh at my young mind and enjoy thinking about forever after.

Thank you for reading Spirit Immortal and may the Immortals bless your soul! :)

Over a million years ago, the first human contracted with the first Spirit. Ever since then, Spirit use has become commonplace. Humans used Spirits to carry items and start fires. Eventually, even start wars. Thousands upon thousands of years past and one day, one human did the impossible. He transcended his mortality and ascended to the realm above.  

In the present day, the Frie Clan was once a great clan of the Himmel empire. However, a devastating battle ten years ago crippled the clan and their numbers dwindled. To make up for their loss, the upper echelons decided to adopt young orphans and nurture them to become a future pillar of the weakened clan. Shin was one of those orphans. 

Although picked up by the Frie Clan, not all is smooth sailing for Shin and the other orphans...
