While the destiny of these two is taking strange turns on their journey, the two strangers have to learn to get along with each other in order to survive in this world in which another decides their fate.

Dale a young man who lives in Eagle Country was fighting some gang members from Snake Country which led him to his death.

------------------

The MC is not a GOD. He makes mistakes and learns from it, he isn't also a good guy. He will help whoever he likes and kill those he doesn't like.

The middle-aged man laid dead on the ground while Long Chen stood tall in front of his body.


Looking straight ahead, he said grimly, " Are you going to step out of the shadows on your own, or do I need to find and crush you like I crushed this guy behind me?" 


Ten people appeared in front of him as if they had appeared out of thin air. 


"The Two of you who are still hiding, should I give you a special invitation?" Long Chen asked as he stood up and glanced to his left. Two more men appeared in front of him out of thin air. 


"The Twelve of you, You probably didn't leave this place, so you don't know. I'm from the Dragon Squad. I have destroyed half the city outside, and I've probably killed your leader too," Long Chen declared, glancing back at the dead body behind him.


"Now, you have one thing to decide. Is keeping the treasures safe more important to you or keeping your lives?" he inquired in a deep voice.


"Those that think loyalty to the establishment is more important for them than their lives, step forward, and attack me. I promise you that you all would die before you can even take ten steps forward. Those that think their lives are more important, show me the location of where this auction house is keeping the treasures that will be auctioned tomorrow," he continued as his gaze roamed over everyone. "Once I get what I want, I'll leave. You'll live, and many lives will be saved."


The Guards looked at each other before nodding their heads, albeit unwillingly.


All Twelve of them walked away from Long Chen slowly as they gestured to him to follow them.


Long Chen calmly followed the men.


He wasn't sure if he could find anything that was useful for him in this world, but he didn't lose hope. If he could find any rare Cultivation resource or anything that could wake his War Spirit, that was going to be enough. As for weapons, he already had two of the best weapons. The Flaming Ice Sword and something even more Special— the God Grade Sword of Time. He was the proud owner of one of the five Gold Grade Weapons that were still in existence. 


As he walked behind the men, he suddenly thought of something. He was thinking about the Sword of Time's ability and realized that he hadn't really understood the real prospects of this ability. If he could really go back in time, then according to his memories, wouldn't he be able to go back in time to before his Transmigration? Can't he go back to earth?


It seemed like it was a possibility, but he didn't really want to go back now. To him, this life seemed like his real life now. As for his old life, it was already over. 


Even if he goes back in time, he still would only be able to live for twenty-four hours before his entire existence was wiped from history, which was definitely not worth it. 


'Xun?  Theoretically, if I use the Sword of Time to go back in time, what would happen to you and the ring after I'm wiped out?' Long Chen asked curiously.


"Don't even try to do that. There might come a time when that ability might be used, but it definitely shouldn't be in your hands. You have many important things to achieve before you can even think about getting wiped out. Many important lives depend on your growth," Xun told Long Chen in a stern tone.


"Many important lives depend on me? My family, you mean? That's true. I still need to find a safe haven for them. I should be able to form my inner world soon. Then I would be able to shift an entire town inside my inner world. They can live happily there. It would be a real world that wouldn't be wiped even after I die," Long Chen muttered in an inaudible tone.


****


Far Far away from the Spirit World, there was a dark tomb.


Long Chen's body laid on the ground inside the enclosed tomb. His consciousness was inside the Spirit World in his new body, but his real body was still here. 


The Ancient Ring was still in his hand that seemed to be looking as magnificent as always.


There were many mysteries inside the ring and many realms. One of the many realms was the Beast Region, where his beasts were growing stronger day by day, eating rare herbs.


At the moment, Little Snow was watching something with great excitement. The Heart Devouring Insect also glanced in the same direction Little Snow was looking in.


The other beast seemed to be looking as well since an interesting event was taking place.


Orion and Snake Monarch were going to have a battle. Even though it was a friendly spar to test each other's skill, this had become a form of entertainment for them since none of them went out of the Beast Region in a while.


On Snake Monarch's suggestion, the beasts had created a little tournament of spars. There were semi-finals, which Orion and Snake Monarch won, respectively. It was going to be the final now in which Long Chen's top beasts were going to face each other.


Every beast had participated in the battles except Little Snow. Snake Monarch has disqualified her, using the excuse that she was not a male. He talked about this event being a male-exclusive. It was mostly an excuse not to have to fight her since he was still intimidated by her until now. There was just something about her that made his bloodline scared.


He had decided on this event to show off his glory in front of other beasts, and he didn't want to lose more than he gained by being defeated by Little Snow. 


"Come on, little puppy. This Father is giving you the chance to attack first. Why are you scared? This King knows that he had killed thousands of immortal beings when I was in heaven, but I would go easy on you. Don't worry. Attack this Father of yours, so I can defeat you faster and get named the King of Beasts!" The Snake Monarch said mockingly.


"Little Fluffy, watch and be amazed by this King's charm at how I fight," he said to Xun before he laughed out loud.


Orion just looked at the Snake Monarch weirdly as if he still was unable to understand his weird behavior. Shaking its head, Orion turned into shadow as it ran towards the Snake Monarch.


****

 While the Battle for the crown of beasts was taking place inside the Beast Region in his Ancient Ring, something else was happening in his other ring as well.


A fake world existed inside the Fake World Ring of Long Chen. Even though it was called a Fake World, it was no less than a real world. The only difference was that it was inside a different space inside his ring.


The Barren place that had a simple house made by Long Ren and others now looked like a proper town. The Spirit Fairies had made it their home. Nothing was lacking here now, and it was also looking somewhat crowded, which made people not feel a sense of loneliness.


Inside the Long Clan mansion that was created in the fake world; Xue, Mei, Mingyu, Zhiqing, and everyone else was sitting inside a room.


"It's been so long, but he hasn't called us outside. Is he fine? You said that he seemed to be in some conflict when he sent you here. He didn't call anyone out. I'm feeling worried," Mingyu said, wondering what might have happened to Long Chen.The Barren place that had a simple house made by Long Ren and others now looked like a proper town. The Spirit Fairies had made it their home. Nothing was lacking here now, and it was also looking somewhat crowded, which made people not feel a sense of loneliness.

Inside the Long Clan mansion that was created in the fake world; Xue, Mei,



"We can't stay here and wait for something to happen to him. We must take action," Long Chen's father, Long Jun, said as he stood up gravely.

"The trials ahead to prove my worth? I'll crush them !! Enemies? I'll slaughter them!! "



Waking up in a new body and a new world after dying on Earth, Long Chen embarks on a new journey in a world filled with gods and demons. A world where myriad of life forms exist and humans can cultivate and become immortals.

 Watch him rise to prominence with a supreme inheritance and his hard work as he slaughtered everyone who stood in his path. Watch His journey as he became known in the Universe as the Demon God, the ruler of death forcing the heavens to bow before him. 

Known as the second inheritor, what happened to the first one? Who does this legacy belongs to? What secrets is the universe hiding?

"Do you think there is anything they want from us?" Mr. Gornio sat himself down, watching his son asleep. it could be clearly interpreted that Ramel had just gone through the terrible pain of the wound on his leg.

"They kidnapped you but they didn't provide any meaningful protection for you, I was suspicious when one of them offered a deal. I think there's nothing wrong with agreeing because your life means a lot. But if we connect everything from the beginning of the incident, if they really are assassins, they must have killed you without mercy. why did they even offer a deal? ".

"Why can you say the word 'they', while the man is only one?".

"I do not know, I feel this man is not working alone". Mrs Gornio's answer did not produce anything, they were still the same thinking about the end of the problem. It's not a good thing when a male assassin just walks away when he hasn't got what he wants.

"Do you feel like I'm really not their target? What if it turns out we are just a diversion? Actually, they want something, but not us". Mr. Gornio looked at his wife's eyes.

"Reista? Renand?", Their breath suddenly felt short, two names which meant for their lives could be the real target.

"I can't say that it's impossible, because I guess that's their target". Mr. Gornio hit the cave wall hard, damn it! if that was the fact then they really missed out.

"Dad?" Ramel, who was disturbed by the sound of the beating earlier, woke up, saw his father's face was already in front of his eyes. with slow movements Ramel approached his father and hugged him tightly.

"I'm okay son".

"I didn't think that Daddy was okay, sorry that I didn't help Dad much."

"You did your best son, Daddy is proud of you. But at the moment that's not what we are concerned about, because Daddy doesn't seem their target".

"what do You mean Dad?" Ramel, who just felt his body getting better, only frowned in confusion.

"They are hitmen, it is impossible to let me live just a guarantee of more money. I mean it is impossible to make my limbs complete of course". a clear word that his father said made Ramel even more confused, are they being framed?

"We better get out of this place first, we talk in a safer place". Mrs. Gornio prepared her firearm. so did Mr. Gornio and also Ramelson, it seems like there will be many events after they leave this cave.

Mrs Gornio, who was leading the way, came out of cave and saw a forest which was already covered with fog and darkness.

"Is Night faster here?" Ramel talked to himself, even though the question could be heard by his parents.

"Whatever it is, this is getting worse. The assassin said that we could not possibly get out of this place alive, and we will prove it now". Mrs. Gornio took out a small packet from her pocket, opened it and it turned out to be black powder like the owner of the assassin. take it a little and then smear the instep, back of the hand, and also the neck.

"Mommy stole it". not a question but a clear statement that Ramelson made.

"Yes and this loot is what will keep us going for at least the next few hours, wear this. Looks like this is no ordinary forest".

Mr. Gornio and also Ramelson followed orders, wearing what Mrs. Gornio was wearing. Mrs. Gornio smiled wryly when she saw the faces of her husband and children who obeyed, if not in this situation they would definitely refuse her orders. It's been a long time since it felt like the togetherness that gathered the three of us together, without anyone else. yes even though this togetherness is not something we want to repeat.

"Alright, we can start this adventure". Mr. Gornio stretched his body which was very painful, after all his body was just an ordinary body. beaten by many people made him eager to take a warm shower and lay down on the bed.

"Be careful Dad, you're old. Don't act too much".

"Oh come on son, when else we make this adventures ?, Daddy was very excited".

"Dad, adventure this time is like delivering our lives to death". Ramel said irritably, his mother and father were the same. I am very happy when their lives are in danger, I hope that he will not decrease their behavior that is too reckless

"Be happy son, you will feel true happiness". Mr. Gornio patted his son's shoulder lightly.

Ramel looked around the forest, what should he do to have fun in a place like this? even Ramel had imagined the soft mattress and his wife's hug.

They walked slowly, trying to be aware of their surroundings. It was already late in the afternoon and the sunlight had completely disappeared from their sight, Ramel, who was indeed carrying a flashlight in his small backpack, immediately took out the flashlight and turned it on. Ramel had never done exploring the forest in the midst of darkness since he was a kid. His parents invited him to do rescue missions several times, but Ramel always refused.

srekkkk sreekkkk srekkkk ....

the three of them stopped at once, their eyes searching for the source of the sound. Ramel aimed his flashlight at every tree that was around them.

"Let Daddy check the sound source, you kid point the flashlight at my every step". Mr. Gornio gave instructions to his son to help him light the way, slowly and holding the rifle Mr. Gornio was completely on alert mode.

Sreekkk sreekkk sreekkk ...

voice from behind the tree in front of Mr. Gornio, the voice was clearer when Mr. Gornio approached him.

"Dad !! stop!". Mr. Gornio's body stiffened when Ramel's flashlight was pointed at the top of the tree, there was a large snake wrapped around the tree trunk. its head was already pointing towards Mr. Gornio, its tongue sticking out to smell its prey.

"do you have an idea son?". Mrs. Gornio pointed her gun at the snake's blind spot, which was her right face.

"It's not certain Mom, what do you think we should do? Run? Doesn't seem like a good thing, knowing that the snake is so big and my legs are impossible to run fast".

"So now what? With one move the snake can eat your Daddy's head alive".

"Hey you two, can you do something? I feel this snake looking at me like eating dinner". Mr. Gornio said quietly without moving an inch.

"Dad, I think we should shoot him". said Ramel lightly.

"Really? If you miss your shot then Daddy's head will come out of the body". Mr. Gornio replied irritably.

"Come on Dad, just enjoy. We rarely see a snake that big".

"You sure are insolent kid".

"Never mind, we don't have to talk much. Ramel listen to Mommy, in the count of three we shoot the side of the face, you are the left and Mommy is the right". Ramel positioned himself to prepare to fire.

"I hope you won't miss". Mr. Gornio warned him once again.

"1 ..... 2 ... 3".

bam bam bam bam ...

Mr. Gornio, who saw the snake in pain, immediately ran towards his son and wife.

"We need to run now!" Mr. Gornio then grabbed the hands of his son and wife to run away, a shot was not enough to make the snake die.

a snake of that size must have had very tough skin and maybe their shots only made the snake scuffled and even more angry.

they ran as hard as they could, somehow in which direction but what was important now was to get away from the big snake earlier.

They came to a large boulder, took a deep breath and threw away quickly.

"Oh my heart". Mrs. Gornio closed her eyes slowly, her age is not young anymore making her breath short. running like this already made his whole body tired.

"are you okay dear?" Mr. Gornio asked his wife, actually he wasn't feeling well either because he had some bruises and was forced to run.

"Dad? Looks like we are getting trapped". Ramel tapped his father's shoulder, causing Mr. Gornio to look around and take a deep breath. they tried to escape from a giant snake, but it turned out that the escape made them trapped in the snake's nest itself.

"I don't know that today is the most unlucky day in Mommy's life, see? How could the big madam and master of the Ettrama family be trapped in a snake's nest?"

"We better just go Mom". Ramel quickly took his mother and father's two hands, which were pulled only helplessly to follow. their footsteps felt terrible, every step of the foot was always touched by the remains of snake skin and some egg shells everywhere. large holes as a sign that many snakes have hatched their eggs here.

"I will curse whoever the enemy is who has kept us trapped here". Mrs. Gornio said irritably but her steps remained alert as she passed the holes around her.

"Is this black powder useless Mom?"

"I think it's a little useful, considering that your Daddy was fine when he was in front of the big snake".

"Yes, maybe just manipulating their smell, not so that we don't get eaten or bitten". said Mrs. Gornio, their advantage at this time was that they had managed to get out of the snake's den and were already in the forest. I don't know which side of the forest because the trees here are the same and they can't tell where they are now.

"We'd better need to make a torch so that it has other lighting than the flashlight you brought son". Mrs Gornio suggested.

"You're right Mom, but what should we use to make the fire last long?".

"alcohol". His mother's short answer made Ramel a little proud, his mother was born smart and always like that even in this situation

Having enjoyed decades of abnormal prosperity, the Dragon Snake Space Zone was now embracing its doom.
The lawless, abnormal paradise was a land of outcasts that the federation intentionally set up in order to fish up enemies, which even the outcasts knew clearly.
However, at that time, they had still been under the naïve illusion that the 'liberators' from the Imperium of True Human Beings would sweep across and suppress the Star Glory Federation completely after they arrived.
In that case, they would certainly welcome the Imperium's army and fight their way back to their homes to relive their lives as nobles and rulers.
However, the luxurious dream was soon shattered by the news of the Black Wind Fleet's crushing defeat.
No outcasts thought that the aggressive expedition army of the Imperium would suffer such a great defeat. None of them had ever considered how they should live on after the Imperium's failure.
It was impossible for them to surrender.
They all had entrenched interests in the Water Crystal Sector, the Forest Ocean Sector, the Nether World Sector, and the Uranian Ring Sector in the past. Since they had been deprived of everything by the federation, they hated the federation's guts and would never submit to the federation.
Besides, according to the federation's theory, a lot of them owed bloody debts, and their hands were stained with the blood of the ordinary people. The federation did not let go of them even when under the massive pressure of the expedition army of the Imperium but sent out a large pack of headhunters to the Dragon Snake Space Zone to take them down. Since the federation had completely crushed the Black Wind Fleet and become the one and only dominator at the edge of the cosmos, was there any need at all to accept their surrender?
The outcasts were no better than meat on a chopping block.
Two years prior, when the Black Wind Fleet had just been crushed, the federation had focused most of its attention on Boneyard and the great development of the Ancient Sages Sector. It had no time to bother with the little land of chaos.
Besides, other than the outdated nobles who were still resisting stubbornly, the Dragon Snake Space Zone had a lot of ordinary people who had been moved to the place by the nobles. Now that the two parties had signed a peace pact on the surface, it was certainly inappropriate for the federation to attack the Dragon Snake Space Zone on a large scale.
Since the Dragon Snake Space Zone had always been fish that the federation fed in a tank, now that the larger stage was under the federation's control, it could do whatever it wanted to the outcasts. Naturally, there was no need to resort to means that were too harsh, which would affect the glorious image of the federation.
Therefore, the outcasts from the Dragon Snake Space Zone spent their last two peaceful years uneasily.
After the integration of the remaining soldiers of the Black Wind Fleet, the construction on Boneyard, and the establishment of Ancient Sages Special District, the federation was finally able to resolve the problem of the Dragon Snake Space Zone without meeting any hindrance.
Even the most sluggish outcasts could clearly sense that the noose tied their neck was getting tighter, and the daggers embedded inside the noose were stabbing into their carotid arteries. One light cough, and their heads would immediately be chopped off.
They had absolutely no chance to deal with the incoming death. The riots that were taking place in the Dragon Snake Space Zone were more like the last joy they had before their death than struggles to survive their death.
Therefore, the crime rate in the Dragon Snake Space Zone over the last year had increased dozens of times over. Atrocious cases were happening all the time, and gang fights large and small never stopped, which should come as no surprise.
Everybody wanted to survive, whatever it took. Everybody was working hard to make up for their crimes by capturing a few 'big fish' among the outcasts for the federation. The 'big fish', knowing that they were doomed, tried everything possible to change their appearance and their names, sometimes even going to the vast space to hide for a while, hoping to escape to the heartland of the federation under a false identity and find a remote place to settle in, so that their lives could be saved.
The Dragon Snake Space Zone was certainly no place for a strengthless, ordinary citizen.
The Leo Dock was a particularly perilous place that was full of unexpected danger.
It was a space dock not far away from Fish Dragon City, the main city of the Dragon Snake Space Zone, and it comprised hundreds of scrap starships, which meant that it could also be called a 'starship dump' of a fairly large scale. The main business of the dock was the modification, maintenance, and upgrade of starships.
The Dragon Snake Space Zone was a place where space pirates fought space pirates. Naturally, it boasted a high starship maintenance ability.
Dismantling more than ten scrap starships and reassembling their parts into a 'brand-new' starship was a high-risk, difficult job in the federation that was strictly forbidden, but it was merely a daily routine in this place.
After the War of the Uranian Ring, the nobles of the Uranian Ring Sector who lost the war had arrived at the place with countless warships. They had further improved the maintenance and modification level of the Dragon Snake Space Zone. They had also brought tremendous debris of scrap starships with them.
Naturally, in order to have a factory of starship maintenance and modification in the Dragon Snake Space Zone, one must have the support of brutal, capable big shots who thrived in the place.
That was exactly the case for the Leo Dock, which was a business that belonged to the Furious Lion Gang.
Among the many ruthless, notorious forces in the Dragon Snake Space Zone, the 'Furious Lion Gang' was one of the most revered ones.
Therefore, when Jin Beibei saw the two pink, cute children next to the shivering metal garbage made of debris of starships that could fall at any moment, she was so surprised that she almost could not believe her eyes.
The two guys had round cheeks and the smoothest skin. Their sweet dimples and their big eyes that were glittering like stars were enough to motivate anyone who saw them to hug them and rub their faces.
They looked very similar, suggesting that they should be twins, but the air around them was vastly different.
The boy looked vigorous and scared of nothing. The girl was relatively quiet, if not shy, but also full of curiosity about the entire world.
In any case, they were two children that should not have appeared there at all.
This was a lair of scumbags, murderers, and bandits, not a place that two harmless, pitiful children should visit.
Jin Beibei's father was one of the best welding masters of the Uranian Ring Sector. She had learned a thing or two from her father, too. The father and daughter had managed to make a living in the Leo Dock with their handicraft.
Despite the protection of such an identity, Jin Beibei was still occasionally harassed by scoundrels. Chances were that she would be swallowed by the wolves without leaving the tiniest bones behind.
Jin Beibei was aware that there were some pedophiliac perverts among the scoundrels. If such 'juicy' and 'delicious' children fell into their hands… they might hope that the garbage mountain had collapsed and killed them immediately.
More importantly, how did the two children sneak into the dock in the first place?
This was a space dock surrounded by a dark, cold vacuum. It was impossible to drift in at all!
"It's dangerous! Get out of there!"
Jin Beibei's heart was grabbed when she saw the two innocent and ignorant children. She imagined that the two children must have escaped from a starship that had come for maintenance and modification.
Recently, a lot of 'big fish' in Fish Dragon City had been planning their escape. They needed to modify their starships into the model that could drift for decades in a long journey by itself. The business in the Leo Dock was thriving. Several starships waited in line for maintenance and modification every day.
Many people took off to the depths of space after the modification was done, not even returning to Fish Dragon City.
Since they were going to escape, it was not strange that they would take their children with them.
Having no time to consider much, Jin Beibei hurried to move forward and grasp one child with each arm, rescuing them before the metal mountain collapsed.
Her physical strength was rather huge, thanks to her years of experience working with enormous metal components during the maintenance of starships.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The metal mountain piled up by debris of starships collapsed behind her. The two children both shrank their necks and said nothing, but there was not much fear on their faces. They simply stared at her with their big eyes in apparent curiosity.
"Who are you two brats exactly? Did you not see the 'Maintenance Base, Staff Only' sign outside?"
After returning to the small warehouse where she kept her welding materials, Jin Beibei finally took a deep breath in relief. She asked the two children, "Who did you come here with? Where are your parents? Why didn't they take care of you?"
The two children looked at each other and pouted at the same time.
"Mom is very busy and has no time to take care of us," the boy said. "Besides, she is surrounded by many mean uncles and aunts who do not allow us to approach her. If we barge in by force, it will be dangerous for us."
"Our father went to a place very far away," the girl said. "We want to go to meet our father."
"Huh?" Jin Beibei did not expect such an answer. What kind of irresponsible parents were they? Did the two children sneak into a starship and go to the Leo Dock by accident?
It was very possible. The two children were beautiful and lovely, but their faces and hands were covered in oil stains and dirt, and their clothes were as ragged as a beggar's.
There was no telling how much they had suffered before they went to the Leo Dock.
Jin Beibei recalled the days when she travelled to the Dragon Snake Space Zone with her father through so much trouble as a little girl.
Her heart immediately softened.
Thinking for a moment, she took out two white crystals and threw them into two cups. After a shake, they immediately turned into two cups of warm milk.
Handing over the milk, she said very gently, "Don't be scared. Have a rest at my place first. We'll work this out. Right. My name is Jin Beibei. What are your names?"
"Thank you, Sister Beibei!"
The two children were very polite. They took over the milk with both hands and sipped carefully.
They seemed very unused to the taste of milk, or rather, they were very unused to the very movement of 'drink'. They appeared restrained, rigid, and even 'mechanical'.
"It's so delicious." The boy licked his lips. "My name is Li Xiaoming."
"So, this is the taste of real 'milk'." The girl blinked her big, crystal-like eyes. "My name is Li Wenwen."


“Even if this universe is truly nothing more than a brutal, bloody, shadowy forest, we Cultivators will burn all that we have just to give off a single weak flickering spark in the darkness! 
“No matter how weak each spark is, how short-lived, how small… As long as the sparks flow unabated, then one day one of those sparks will light some tinder, and that tinder shall light some fallen branches, and those branches shall set ablaze each and every last tree of the forest! 
“In the end, even the smallest sparks will eventually set the shadowy forest ablaze and illuminate the whole world!”

** Qidian International and the former translator, Mr. Strivon, have reached an agreement to buy out the chapters and host them on our site. We will be continuing the translation from the last chapter translated by Mr. Strivon **

Victor felt devistated has he sawed his reflection in the water puddle. His new body appeared a little similar to new born snake from his previous life at earth. It's length is between fifteen to seventeen inches with golden eyes and red pupils,it's body was covered with black and brown scale from top to bottom.it consist of two buds structure on top of its head.seeing his reflection in the puddle a slight electric shock passed in victor's mind then a wave of information was flooded into his brain.

After sorting his thoughts victor came to understand that he became a snake species known as "TWO HORNED MUD SNAKE" which is relatively weakest species in the dungeon.but it ancestral Lineage comes from "flood Dragon" which is a long distance relative of dragons.which are mystical beings on earth.

Every two horned mud snake contains bloodline of flood dragon which power is relatively negative and which does not helps in anyway in its growth. The snake lives in groups which is called a " colony" and feeds on mud,eggs(of different species in dungeon), and other weaker monsters (including it same species)in dungeon.

it consists of two fangs inside its mouth which release a weakest poison known as "mud venom" which gets its name due to its light brownish colour and it gives only paralysis effect upto thirty minutes on weaker monsters but does not affects any stronger monster above it.The snake grows upto five meters and changes it colour into complete black colour.

The Sacred Ruins
Is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. A world that has recovered to a state that is roughly equal to our own world in terms of technology and culture, although its ancient history remains largely unknown. The story begins during the post-graduation trip of our protagonist, where he discovers some ancient ruins and witnesses “the great change”, an upheaval that changed everything. The changing earth not only brought about new, unexplored landscape but also sparked the evolution of all organisms. Plants and animals started gaining sentience and some humans obtained unimaginable powers. The legends, myths, and tales of old seemed to have suddenly come to life as the earth entered a new era where beasts and men formed factions, explored new lands and ultimately struggled for supremacy.
We follow the MC as he grows from being an eccentric young man into a badass expert warrior while meeting other funny characters and forming brotherly bonds. We watch as he falls into just as much hilarious situations as he does perilous ones, all the while wondering and slowly discovering the mysteries of this world. Just why was the world destroyed in the first place? Who or what had triggered this earth-shattering “change”? What profundities lie behind the process of evolution?

"Let's start up the mountain and hope to find an azure snake before dark," Harret told the group. They all nodded in agreement.
Azel and the group of hunters set off. The path was not very steep and it was still possible to walk; but the paths were narrow, the entire surface was made of stone and from time to time, the boulders could be heard rolling down the mountain. They had to be careful at all times not to suddenly find themselves hit by rocks and fall downhill.
"I don't detect any signs of life near where we are ... but I don't think this is strange, after all, beasts still need water and plant life to survive and the environment here is so inhospitable." Azel commented as he pondered at the same time. In fact, he still did not rule out the possibility of finding creatures around the place because in this world, where magic exists, a different kind of life would not be too far-fetched.
After walking a few hours uphill, they reached the entrance to a cave in the mountain. They entered the place and it ended up being a wide space, with stalagmites and stalactites on the surfaces, it was dark and humid unlike the dry outside. The group momentarily settled in the place to rest.
Azel began exploring the cave and approached a mound of stacked rocks. Suddenly, there was a movement, one of the rocks lifted up and began to walk in another direction. He stopped in front of another rock and began to consume the nearest rock peak.
'Is the rock walking and ... eating?' Azel's eyes were filled with curiosity. The creature was strange, its body was round, it was composed of rocks and short limbs were seen on its body. His eyes, which looked like sapphire gems, glowed blue.
"Don't be alarmed, it's just a rock golem and it's not a big deal. They consume stones or minerals and aren't hostile to living creatures in general." Ryan walked over to Azel and explained with a smile. He was still pleased with himself from his knowledge of magical beasts acquired throughout his years as a hunter.
'Hmm, it's fascinating how a piece of rock can walk and have a life of its own ... it's like in fantasy games on earth, how does its biological structure work? they have one? Or is it just mana or some other kind of energy that gives them life? ' Azel was getting more and more intrigued by the creature when he noticed something where the golem came from. It was thin, like a rope, but it was coiled, like a spring. Blue with brown stripes, with a horn on its head, the creature rested inadvertently in place that was exposed after the golem changed places.
"Snake?" Azel couldn't help saying it out loud.
Ryan, who was next to Azel, directed his line of sight towards the same place and also saw the creature. Surprised, he said to the others `` we found it! Actually, it's an azure snake ... woah Azel, you really brought us luck. These snakes are only supposed to live in their nests and here is one of them, quietly surrendered to us. '' Harret, Taro and Hak also approached the place and, when they saw the sleeping azure serpent they could not help but be excited. They walked all the way here for this snake, not knowing if they were going to find it or lose their lives first; only they knew how excited they were to have achieved their goal.
Harret grabbed the handle of his blade and slashed straight at the serpent's head. The head was easily detached from the body as the snake opened its eyes and screeched. A few seconds later the body stopped twisting and went limp. Hak grabbed the bag he brought with him and shoved the snake's body inside. After these events, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they began to celebrate the success of the mission, noises could be heard coming from all sides. The cave began to shake, dust and small stones fell from the ceiling until something broke through the ceiling in the center of the place. A giant head followed by a long and thick body, it was a snake similar to the azure snake, but colossal in size.
"Damn it, we entered the azure serpent's nest!" Said Taro with a pale face. He was frightened of his wits when the colossal creature appeared and his mood, previously in the clouds, fell into the depths of hell.
Hak was silent, but the nervousness in his eyes betrayed his apparent calm. He rushed to remove the spear from his back and aimed it at the colossal creature.
The azure serpent was in a mad state. They killed one of their young in their own territory, which was the same as openly defying his authority. It was itself a very territorial, wild and unbridled creature. With the group's actions, they managed to enrage her beyond reason. He lunged at full speed hitting the group with his head.
Harret stopped Hak, who was about to throw his spear at the snake, grabbed his arm and led him to the side, avoiding the snake's blow. The place of impact left a large footprint and many cracks, but the colossus did not care and continued swinging to kill the intruders. As Harret caught his breath, he said to the whole group, '' Don't fight it! It's impossible for us to defeat him. Let's quickly escape from this place. We already got what we need anyway, it's time to go back to town! ''
Azel agreed with Harret immediately and ran for the cave exit. Ryan was following behind him when he suddenly felt something squeeze his calf and exclaimed: '' my leg! ''. He looked at the ground and saw that many azure snakes appeared or rather, came out of the rocks where they were resting.
The cave was the nest of azure snakes but, as these are nocturnal beasts, they were originally sleeping; until the screech of the first azure serpent they killed disturbed their rest. It was one of these snakes that wrapped itself around Ryan's leg tightly and prevented him from moving.
'' Give me a gun! '' Azel bellowed at Taro. The latter quickly drew the blade at his waist and threw it towards Azel and replied `` Hurry up, snakes keep popping out everywhere and they'll be closing us in a fence in no time! ''
The blade was in midair and Azel prepared to grab it. As if time were slowing down, he was able to calculate the trajectory, turns and final position that the weapon was going to have. In accordance with this, he raised his hand in the air and caught it by the handle. He walked over to Ryan, raised the blade, and sliced ​​vertically toward Ryan's leg.
'' Swish ... ''
There was the sound of gushing blood as the snake was slaughtered. Ryan shook his leg and dislodged the bind quickly. '' Thank you '' he told Azel; the latter just nodded his head and turned around to run again.
The snakes were already everywhere besides, the colossus was also chasing them relentlessly. Still, the group was already near the exit and in a few more steps, they would be out. At that moment, the giant azure serpent stopped and opened its mouth; the mana converged at one point to form a sphere that grew larger and more solid.
Azel had a bad feeling about the sudden action of the beast and his mind mapped out all the possibilities about this action in an instant. Without warning for fear of running out of time, he took Hak's spear and threw it towards a stalactite at the top of the cave. The spear pierced the weakest part of it and went through it, the cracks widened and the rock thorn finally fell.
'' Arghrrrruaaagh ''
The colossus let out a fierce roar from the pain of being pierced through, losing control of the collected mana, and it spread out of control.
'' Booooom ''
There was an explosion that locked the colossus and the snakes in place; the cave began to collapse into pieces. The group was blown away by the resulting waves and fell to the mountainside.
'' Ughh '' Azel touched his head and grunted in annoyance. His body was scratched everywhere and his ragged clothes got worse. 'That was dangerous, I will never be so reckless without first being able to defend myself ...' although he had to admit that they were very lucky, because even if they left the mountain they could not prevent the giant azure serpent from chasing them. But the earlier blast sealed the cave and injured the snake as well, so they were now much more confident that they could return. Azel finished thinking to himself and approached the others.
"Damn snake, it almost killed us all ...!" Taro couldn't help cursing. He was proud and boasted that he could even face wild beasts in a group, but the above situation forced him to admit defeat immediately. Just look at that explosion and you will understand that not even with nine lives you will be able to survive the attack of such a creature.
Hak and Harret already got up and went to help Ryan, who was knocked unconscious. The latter awoke quickly after Harret slapped him twice on the face and then got up. Hak mentioned '' we must go down the mountain now. We are still in their territory, so let's avoid setbacks. ''
Harret nodded at the idea. He took one eye at Azel and said with undisguised admiration "You reacted very quickly; I just concentrated on running at the time and couldn't get a further look at the big guy's actions, but you went one step further by noticing the attack and even saved us. You are a very impressive guy. ''
Azel was calm before the praise and neither courteous nor humble replied `` I am sensitive to mana, thanks to this I realized the attack. I didn't have time to warn them so I took action on my own. I hope you don't mind throwing your spear. ''
'' Boy, you really are something. I respect the strong and I can tell by your actions that you are one '' said Taro, to which Hak added '' a spear is nothing compared to our lives; I am also grateful to you. ''
Ryan was more and more convinced that Azel was a freak and respect for him was rising to the level of adoration. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he began to comment on Azel's previous actions with the group, like a fan who knows his idol. Azel could only stare at this silently and crack a bitter smile.
They started up again and the way down the hill was much faster; in half the time they were back at the base of the mountain. There were still a couple of hours until the sun set and they decided to move in the direction of the town. Harret carried with him the bag containing the serpent's inert body as if it were a treasure. Azel noticed and took a few more thoughtful looks.
When twilight appeared on the horizon, they decided to camp at the base of one of the nearby mountains, which was better than staying on the plains. Hak and Taro killed nearby wild beasts while Ryan prepared the fire; Harret and Azel were sitting on a rock near the fire resting.
"It's for my daughter." Azel was surprised by the sudden comment but Harret continued "She was poisoned by being bitten by an azure snake while she was gathering herbs; If she had not been found by a young man from the village, she would already be dead. Normally these snakes don't live nearby, but unfortunately one of the snakes got lost and suddenly inhabited the forest where my daughter collects medicine. The poison does not act fast, but it is lethal. It takes ten days to cause death and my daughter only has two days left. That is why he was so eager to find an azure serpent. Since her mother died, she is the only thing I have left ... I can't afford to lose her too. ''
Azel felt sorry for hearing his story, because he always wanted to have a family to return to or someone who cares about you. Unfortunately, he was an orphan and had no one by his side in his previous life. He knew loneliness and yearned for the warmth of a family, so he looked Harret in the eye and said seriously "you will definitely save her."
After eating everything, they once again took turns watching while they rested. The night passed without further incident and at dawn the group resumed their journey.

Azel, a 20-year-old orphan with a promising future on earth, is forced to live in another world when a strange object falls on his head. Upon awakening he realizes that he is in an unknown place, an arid land where the growls of unknown creatures are heard and shows signs of a strange energy that in his home planet would be called "magic".
In his attempt to survive the new and wild environment where he found himself, he discovered that when he arrived in this world, he brought with him the object that hit him, but it joined him, thus giving him the computing power of a super computer.
Azel decided that to live a full life in this inhospitable world where the strong rule, he must do something to change it.

It was a short walk home from there, on the way we found a tiny snake, presumably still a child, and had Omar stab it, apart from that nothing else really happened, now that my adrenaline rush was over my arm began to hurt more, it was to be expected though, even if I didn't break my right arm, it was still severely damaged. As we walked into our safe zone the system popped up again.

"Congrats host, you manage to teach 6 humans how to defend themselves, and in turn helped save them from a near-death situation and allowed them to get back home"

'Another 30 points, neat'

"Indeed, also before you ask, the reason why I didn't notify you as soon as you guys killed the snake was that I felt that it would ruin the mood"

'Pfft, I'm sorry, it's just that you're the last person I thought I'd hear those words from, anyways, since the stats system can determine my stat points, that means that it monitors my body to do so, right?'

"That would be correct host"

'Then would it be possible to tell me how long I will have to wait before my arm heals?'

"Sure thing host, just give me a second… Here it is, it says that your arm is just bruised not broken and that you should be able to use your arm in around 5 days if you really want to, seven days is recommended though, overall your arm won't be completely healed for two weeks though, be careful with it"

'That's gonna be a pain ins the ass to deal with, anyways, thanks for the info'

"No problem host :D"

Returning back to reality I sat down on the floor around the fire and grabbed my lunch, different from before though, it felt calmer, I don't know how to explain it correctly, I think that it felt like we were closer, it was probably just my imagination though, after lunch, I just went into my sleeping hole making sure to not apply any pressure to my right arm, and tried to come up with a new way to build the walls of the house as I dozed off.

Genesis January 12th, 0001:

I woke up early again today, and I had finally come up with a way to build the walls for the house. The plan was relatively simple, all I had to do was dig a hole large enough for the small tree trunks to fit in, and then fill the cracks with dirt before applying water, that way by the time the water dried, the trunk would be firm in place, just in case though, after a second tree trunk is placed next to the first, I would tie the top of the tree trunks with tangled vines in order to offer even more support.

As for how I could get the trunks into the holes in the first place, I could use the snake carcass, the trees in this area were neither tall nor thick, which was weird to be sure, but wasn't impossible to find in the amazon. The trees were only a little taller than a one-story building making them pretty light all things considered. All I has to do was lay the snake carcass horizontally, and then roll the tree trunk onto it, then put the base of the trunk right on top of the hole and use my left hand to grab both ends of the snake and pull upward, that way the trunk would move upwards until it was vertical enough to fall into the hole.

As soon as I was done eating breakfast I got to work, getting the first trunk in place was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but it was manageable as long as I took breaks in between every trunk. It was only on my third break that I noticed that everyone else was just sitting around doing nothing. Originally I thought that they were just tired, but then I noticed that they were looking at me with pleading eyes. 

'It couldn't be their hunger again, right? Nah, couldn't be, they just ate, wait, are they bored?'

Now that I thought about it did kind of make sense, they probably spent most of their lives constantly moving to hunt for food, so they probably never really had the time to just relax and have fun (not that there was much they could use do that either), plus, the system stopped calling them nomads which probably alludes to the fact that they have decided to settle here and turn it into their home. Now that we have enough food to live off of, and they have no reason to risk their lives out there, so they are just stuck here without anything to do. 

'Well, I guess that I can teach them how to help make the wall, it wouldn't hurt to try'

"You know host, you underestimate them too much, like I said before, all they need is guidance"

I went to get some vines to intertwine them and use them as a replacement for the snake carcass, once the vines were intertwined, I made the signal for the rest to watch, their eyes lit up and they got into place. To make it simple I decided to split it into 5 parts, digging the hole, putting the vines in place, rolling the trunk into position, getting the trunk into the hole, and filling the hole back up before applying water.

I decided to walk them step by step, for starters I pulled Omar to the side and dug a hole right next to the last trunk I already set in place with only a small wall of dirt in between, I then used a stick to mark the area next to the hole I dug and then passed him the shovel, it took him a couple of tries, but eventually, he got it right. The next two were easier, I guided Josue on where to put the vines horizontally, and helped Carlos roll the trunk into place.

Once everything was in place I moved Francisco and Daniel to both ends of the vines and made them each grab one end before moving them as far back as possible and making a pulling motion. It only took a couple of seconds before a thud could be heard thanks to the trunk falling into the hole, as for how it happened so much faster than when I did it, simple, as nomads they were constantly exercising their body's make them all have very well built physiques. Finally, to end everything off, I showed Gabriel how to fill the hole back up before letting him add water.

As soon as I confirmed they could do it on their own, I joined them in setting trunks in place, and so, the construction of the house began.

Note: (This is my first book so I am sorry if the grammar is bad, or my writing skills are not up to par, also, since this is just a project for my own enjoyment I will make as many chapters as possible completely free, hope you enjoy the book :D)

In a future where humanity destroys itself in a desperate fight over drinkable water, Stevan Ciracio is given a second chance to prove that humanity is able to prosper until the intergalactic age without ending itself, but even though he is not aware of it, he is not alone in his quest.

They were being chased about by the snake beasts while dodging the spear attacks by the snake king. 

" Damn how in the world does he throw those spears without getting tired," said Ray.

" That's the only problem with the beast, they are gifted with incredible strength and stamina unlike we humans" replied Ellis. 

Observing the area that is ahead of them, Ellis was looking for a way to shake of the snake tribe men, but it seems like there is no other way order than to stand and fight or to continue running. 

While running, Ray would often turn around and send at one flame burst after another which also helps in slowing down their advancement, but it was a different matter when it comes to the snake king who has seen as the explosion from the technique does not affect him. 

" Am getting tired of running from all this snake," said Ray in anger.

" Is not like we have a choice, if stand and fight then we'll be overpowered by their numbers, and don't forget about their king" replied Ellis. 

" But still if we continue to run, it's only a matter of time before we are exhausted which Will be the perfect time for them to attack us," said Ray. 

After running for some time, while avoiding the attacks of the snake tribe, the number of the snake tribe begins to reduce when they got to some part of the swamp until they were no longer being chased by the snake tribe again. 

When Ray saw that the whole snake beast that was chasing them not quite long is no longer giving chase, he stops running and turns to Ellis and asked. 

" Why are they no longer chasing after us".

Hearing Ray's question Ellis looked back to confirm if it was true that they are no longer being chased only to see that the place was free of the snake tribe. He sighed relief before answering Ray. 

" I think it has to do with walking out of their territory into another beast territory or there is a treasure back in their nest that they can't just leave behind" replied Ellis while sitting on the ground of mud to catch his breath. 

" Let's rule out the possibility of this part of the swamp being a territory of another beast which lead us to the treasure that is in their nest," said Ray who has a greedy look on his face. 

" You are not seriously thinking about going back to rob them of their treasure are you," asked Ellis with a look of concern. 

" Yes my dear friend but that will be after will reclaim the orb from Jerald" replied Ray with a smile on his face. 

"Then I guess you are on your own after we secure the orb," said Ellis. 

" Eh, ain't you going with me," asked Ray seeing the way Ellis is behaving. 

" There is no way I am going back to that place again, did you see the way we almost lost our lives if they haven't turned back" replied Ellis. 

" Then I guess you will have to spend the rest of your life in this swamp all by yourself since there is no other way of getting out of this place other than going through the snake tribe!" said Ray with a cunning smile on his face. 

" Oh, my good heavens am done for this time around" complain Ellis. 

" Don't look so down bro, you know if we can get our hands on that treasure getting the required resources to speed our cultivation further will be easy, and we will be able to get promoted into one-star hunters and take on my important quest," said Ray in a way to comfort Ellis. 

Nodding to Ray's words, Ellis got up from the muddy ground and started leading the way forward and belong it was already morning. Looking at the sun high up in the sky Ellis couldn't help but complain. 

" I can't believe we were chased by the snake tribe the whole night"

" which is why they are going to get their treasure stolen as compensation for causing us trouble replied Ray with a laugh 

" I pray that you don't die from greed Ray," said Ellis while shaking his head helplessly. 

" What can I say, I need more resources to raise my cultivation higher so that I can take Placidia replied Ray with a serious look on his face.

" You still got that on your mind eh," asked Ellis when he saw the look on Ray's face. 

" How can I forget about that witch" replied Ray while gripping his fist tightly. 

"Then are you ready to stomach the fury of the chaos tower when they heard that their representative was killed by a mere cultivator with no background," asked Ellis. 

Instead of answering Ellis's question, Ray focuses on walking forward while looking around to see if there is any trace of spiritual energy around the area. Seeing that Ray was ignoring the question, Ellis walks forward to catch up with him before saying. 

" It won't be easy to locate Jerald's hiding place".

" I don't think so, take a like at that footprint" replied Ray while looking at a footprint that since to be made for quite a long time. 

Bending down to take a closer look at it, Ellis's face brightens up before saying. 

" Am not too sure if this footprint belongs to a human or beast, but we have to try our luck on this on".

After making up their mind, they started following the trail behind by whatsoever that walk through the swamp, and after following the trail for some minutes, a little Hut came into their view that was about fifty meters away. 



Ray died a miserable death on earth and got reincarnated into another world with a system that will support him in his journey to become the strongest cultivator in all the heavens, but he felt like he did not fit in and want to return to the world he came from. In order to do that he will have to embark on a dangerous journey.
