Stephanie : *crying**sob*..I'm...*sob*...sorry...*sob*

Ezekiel started moving towards him practice arms around her shoulders and brought her in for a close hug and says in a soothing voice." there is no need to apologize you had done nothing wrong to me although my life was bad I have no regrets I've done what I wanted to do although there are a few things I wish I did do like get a girlfriend have a family I like I've always said that's just life we just got to do with what we have and make the best of it so don't cry for me".

Stephanie : but..*sob* you had such a miserable life...*sob* and the god of your world just look the other way and let you suffer*sob*... as a goddess myself one of his kind how can I not be sad as he watched one of his own children suffer...*sob* and yet through all that you don't blame, hate or curse the Gods that had watch you suffer*sob*.

EZEKIEL : why would I hate them it was a luck of the draw and I just so happened to draw the bad end of the stick so why should i hate them I did with what I had and made the best with what was given to me why should I hate them.

Stephanie : but... Before she could finish your sentence Andres Cuts in and interrupt her. 

Andres : even though he's a little bicth and a pussy he is right you know there's no point in crying over it there's nothing you or the other gods could have done about it besides you saw his memories even if he don't like any of it he didn't let it get to him he has a strong heart, strong mind, and strong will so you should not pity him you should be happy that  he does not hate you guys or curse you guys even though he's a little bicth.

Ezekiel : is it really necessary for the name calling?

Stephanie :*sob* he's right there really isn't any need for name-calling and what did you mean the other gods couldn't help him. she says  as her eyes were still red and puffy but at least she stop crying.

Andres : hahaha is there a need for name-calling of course there is why because he's too soft hearted, is irritating, and annoying as for your other question he not originally from that world. but in his thoughts he was thinking something else (he's not even from that universe or trivirs).

Ezekiel : damn that shrink was right you're a total dick you know that  you could be more nice instead of being such an ass.

Andres : I could but I'm not going to cuz I don't want to so get over it. besides you won't have to deal with me for long.

Ezekiel / Stephanie : what do you mean not for long.

Andreas : hahahahaha look there goes the couple again speaking at the same time and in sync. well like I was trying to tell you before we were interrupted I will be fusing our souls together and as for my memory I will create a system to store it I he got the idea from all the books and stories we read.

Ezekiel : what do you mean fuse are spirits together how you going to create a system.

Andreas : let's just say the things for the novels that we read are possible like there's a world of Naruto and they they exist and for all the books in The Maze mangas anything that is created out of people's imagination. or they're not technically created from nothing there exists the world and just so happens bits and pieces of those worlds tend to leak into the imagination or mind of people. as for us using our souls together well I was originally supposed to watch over you and protect you but there was a fatal error you're too soft so hopefully by fusing my soul and your soul together we can at least we balance each other personalities out and make are soul stronger.

Ezekiel : can you at least make the system a girl I don't want to have to listen to your voice no offense but dude that would be kind of awkward wouldn't you agree.

Andres : hahaha no offense taken and yeah I do agree with you so it will be an AI that is a girl with my current knowledge and i will have to be unlocked slowly as we get stronger that sound Fair.

EZEKIEL : that Sounds reasonable.

Stephanie : hay are you two forgetting about me.*pout*

Andres : yes

Ezekiel look at Andres angry with a vain poping out of his forehead 

Ezekiel : shut up Andres and no we weren't it just that he know all about me more then I know about my self although he is a jurk I trust him it dose not mean I am trying to ignore you.

Stephanie : * sigh* I know I just fill left out I'm I am the one that brought you hear to give you a chance to live happy life you deserve .

Ezekiel : know and I appreciate it. shows a kind and gentle smile.

Stephanie blushed and Andres look at them with intrigued eyes and an idea hit him with a cunning smile that no saw.

Andres :  hay Stephanie I have a proposition for you if your interested.

Stephanie:  what would that be. with questioning look in her eye

Andres : how would you like to be the sprit of the system since I will not have any of my memory so the only thing that well happen is that are personality will combine so it will basically be Ezekiel 2.0 it will be him with a personality up grade so he is going to need someone looking out for him and me I guess if your worried hire up don't be trust me.

Stephanie :*sigh* as much as would love to just like you said I would have deal with the hire ups.

Andres: ........ try ask well my and Ezekiel are fusing together it going to take some time so the only request I have for is somewhere he can build his Fondation and able to guarantee his wish come true.

Stephanie : *sigh* will try to ask as for request I well personally see to it.

 Andres : thank you as for are first system it it will be the shadow system.

EZEKIEL: what dose the shadow system do.

Andres : don't worry there will be a tutorial on it plus a explain when we arrive.

I do not own any of the side plots that will occur our some fictional character that my show up in this novel

"Boom!"
A flash of lightning descending from the skies, as the rain outside gradually got bigger as it splattered across the roof of the ox-cart. The wind was howling, threatening to flip the entire carriage over.
Within the ox-cart, the official was seated in front of Pei Zi Yun. He then pulled the curtains apart and looked at the raindrops falling outside. He then spoke, "This weather, the rain seems unusual."
"Yes, although it rains frequently in spring, this is way too heavy to be a normal spring rain!" They were quite some distance away from the Crown Prince’s Palace. Pei Zi Yun gazed outside the window, looking very distracted. He extended an outstretched hand, as if to tap something in front of him.
Pei Zi Yun had a grave expression on his face, pretending to look outside of the window when he was actually looking at the information interface which showed up in front of him. He was feeling rather perplexed.
Ever since he obtained the Plum Blossom, the system would always present missions for him to do, or to inform him of some important memory, or to remind him of something. Most of the time, it was related to taking revenge for the original owner.
Principally speaking, plotting against King Lu was not far off from taking revenge. Why then didn’t it appear immediately after speaking to the Crown Prince?
Pei Zi Yun thought to himself. There could be another possibility. The system was also affected by the overwhelming strength of the Imperial Qi surrounding the Crown Prince, and required some time to recover.
Who was this Ren Wei person which he was supposed to convert from King Lu’s camp?
Pei Zi Yun searched his memories. Ever since he became Yin Master, searching through his memories was extremely easy. Pei Zi Yun calmed himself. After a long time, he finally opened his eyes and mumbled, "So, that’s the person. I’ve heard of him before."
Ren Wei was a strategist and an advisor to King Lu in the original owner’s life time. Ren Wei’s father was an official in the previous dynasty. However, his family’s status wasn’t lofty. He enjoyed reading, and excelled in literature and writing poems. He met with many obstacles in his life, and failed many times over. When he was forty, he met King Lu and started working for him as a lowly official. After seeing that he was effective and wise, he was promoted rapidly. Soon after, he was killed, and the circumstances surrounding his death were very vague.
In actual fact, all these rumors were too fragmented. The original owner had been imprisoned at that point in time, and thus didn’t know much.
However, since the system pointed him out, this man must be of a critical use. For someone like him, how was it possible that he wasn’t being monitored and guarded around the clock? At this point, Pei Zi Yun wondered if he already knew of Pei Zi Yun’s existence. There was another possibility, that this person hadn’t risen in ranks, and thus was just a nobody, and had no one watching him.
Pei Zi Yun had a sort of conjecture deep down. However, one thing that was confirmed was that Ren Wei was somewhat related to King Lu. He decided to conduct a thorough check before acting, 'A mission as difficult as this, let’s see what the rewards are.'
 "Mission : Help the Crown Prince launch an offense against King Lu. Influence a talented individual named Ren Wei to leave King Lu’s service.(Incomplete)"
When he finished reading this line, a message then appeared, answering his question: "Safety when absorbing Legacies."
Seeing such a situation, Pei Zi Yun was secretly surprised. He then focused on the screen, but nothing else appeared.
'Is this the wish of the original owner? It’s just that the reward is very touching.' Pei Zi Yun thought, 'I’ve obtained three Legacies, which reside within my memories now. I wondered why Xie Cheng Dong could only rely on the Plum Blossom and managed to transform his body to that of a saint. And when I used it, I received backlash from it. So there was this hidden skill, which I had to obtain as a reward. At this point, I have to complete the mission before I can acquire it.'
At this point the Crown Prince’s official who was with Pei Zi Yun noticed that he had been gazing out of the window for a long time, and didn’t speak. He was thus curious, "What is Master Top Scorer thinking about, that he would be distant?"
"I’m just thinking about some stuffs." Pei Zi Yun snapped back out and replied blandly, "The Crown Prince placed a heavy burden upon my shoulders, and I feel somewhat uneasy. I’m afraid I won’t be able to live up to his expectations."
"I have an idea, which I might have to rely on brother Zhao to obtain some information for me. I would require the name list of officials who have no relation to the Crown Prince and have some links with King Lu. I have a use for it."
Hearing this request, official Zhao looked at Pei Zi Yun, as if he was trying to decipher Pei Zi Yun’s thoughts, just by staring at his face. However, he couldn’t tell anything. He then asked, "Master Top Scorer, what plan do you have?"
Pei Zi Yun replied casually, "Only when you know yourself, can you know your enemy. Only then can you fight a hundred battles and come out unscathed. As for this matter now, how can it be solved so easily? I have to settle some issues first before I can get down to doing it."
"That’s easy. Since the Crown Prince instructed me to cooperate with you, please let me know whatever you need, and I shall do my best." The official clasped his hands and spoke.
"I wish to visit the Grand Princess!" Pei Zi Yun replied. When the official heard this, he then instructed the ox-cart driver, "To the Grand Princess Mansion."
"Yes, your excellency." The ox-cart driver was his own man, and thus would agree to go anywhere. At this point they turned around and headed to the Grand Princess’s Mansion.
The ox trod across the puddles of water as Pei Zi Yun could see the walls of the mansion up ahead. The rain was starting to recede as the small drizzle of raindrops were blown diagonally by the wind. The Grand Princess’s Mansion stood unwavering against the wind and rain. From outside the mansion, the abundance of flora and fauna were visible.
Pei Zi Yun stood outside the mansion, and could hear the birds chirping atop the trees around. Scents of flowers wafted in the air, causing Pei Zi Yun to sigh, 'At first, I didn’t know why the Grand Princess agreed to take my money and help me plead with the Emperor for my sect’s title. Now I understand.'
'The dynasty decreed that a Prince would receive ten thousand silver taels, and ten thousand stone of grains.'
'A Canton Prince would receive five thousand silver taels and five thousand stone of grains.’
'A Princess would receive one thousand five hundred stones of grains and two thousand taels of silver. However, the Grand Princess was special, and received slightly more. She would be paid three thousand stones of grains and four thousand silver taels.'
'Three thousand stone of grains and four thousand silver taels seem a considerable amount. But just the wages for the guards protecting this place would already exceed the amount of annual salary she receive.'
'She still has to handle the expenses of everyone working for her within the mansion. How then could she survive without accepting bribes?'
'Although they were close relatives of the Emperor himself, and were a part of the royal family, they still had to find ways to gather money. Unless they were like King Lu, a capable Prince with many different avenues of income due to his capabilities.'
'If the person owning this huge mansion was a Canton Prince or a Princess without any other additional income, they would never be able to afford to upkeep such a huge place.'
'Even the Emperor knows this, and hence always turned a blind eye to the Grand Princess whenever she took bribes. As long as it didn’t interfere with politics.'
"Your excellency, we’ve reached the Grand Princess’s Mansion." The ox-cart driver didn’t pull to a stop at the main entrance, as that would attract too much attention. He stopped at a secluded corner and spoke to the carriage behind.
Pei Zi Yun pulled the curtains apart. It was indeed an entrance the the Grand Princess’s Mansion. It resembled a moon door. Just as Pei Zi Yun was about to get off, the official held him back, "Hold it, Master Top Scorer. It might not be good for you to show your face. Maybe I should go instead."
"I would have to trouble you then." Pei Zi Yun realized that he had a point. The official then opened his umbrella and knocked the door. The guard who answered him exchanged several words with the official.
As the rain continued to fall, the winds persisted. The official waited at the door. After some time, a serving maid came out and spoke to him.
The official returned to the ox-cart and handed Pei Zi Yun a note and said to him, "The way things are done within the Grand Princess’s Mansion is really efficient. Just a short while and they managed to get back to me."
Pei Zi Yun received the note and opened it. There were several words written: "There’s no point in meeting."
That was a straight up rejection.
'Maybe she didn’t want to appear like an Emperor, accepting visitors all the time. At this point however, she was earning double the salaries of a princess. It can be said that her annual salary cannot get any higher than this.'
'The Emperor is her own brother, and she is thus in the best position. The Crown Prince and King Lu are her nephews. As long as she doesn’t directly intervene with the situation, there might not be any problems for her.'
‘Now was the critical juncture where there were two candidates fighting for the throne. At least she must not appear to take the support of either sides. As for internal affairs, where there were blood feuds in such a situation was very normal. However, she must not directly take anyone’s sides.’ Pei Zi Yun wasn’t too bothered by this rejection.
The official then looked at Pei Zi Yun, "It’s understandable that the Grand Princess doesn't want to meet you. She’s afraid that people might think she is supporting the Crown Prince over King Lu!"
Hearing these words, Pei Zi Yun laughed, "Then please pass these few books to her."
The official then got off the ox-cart, and Pei Zi Yun pondered for a second before shouting out, "Hold it, I wish to write some words."
Pei Zi Yun retrieved a quill and wrote on a piece of paper before stuffing it into a book, "Apologies for troubling your excellency Zhao."
The official laughed, "Please relax!"
The official walked to the door and spoke to the people at the door before handing the materials over without issue.
Within the mansion, the Grand Princess was lying down within a red tent. A serving maid was massaging her legs for her, and another maid brought in a silver platter, where there were slices of melons on it. A man walked to the door and spoke to the granny maid, "Granny, the person who delivered a note asking to meet earlier on delivered these books."
The granny who was standing at the door received it, "Wait, I shall deliver these books."
The granny then talked in and whispered by the side of the bed, "Grand Princess, the person who delivered the note just now handed us these books to pass to you. Would you like to take a look?"
"Oh? He sent books here? Let me see." The Grand Princess stretched herself while lying down.
The granny then handed over the four books allowing the Grand Princess to pick one. She held onto the first book and flipped it open. There was a note within the book. The Grand Princess picked up the note, and saw familiar writings, "I’ve written several novels in my spare time. This is to thank the Grand Princess for helping me some time ago. Hence, I came to the capital today to deliver the actual copies."
On the back of the note, he wrote the titles of the books which he had written. –The Woman Assassin–, –The Butterfly Lovers–, –Nie Xiao Qin–, –Romance of the West Chambers–.
"Who would’ve thought that this person could even write stories and novels." The Grand Princess smiled as spoke. She placed the note to the side, and started reading the first book. All of a sudden, she stopped reading before sighing, as though she recalled something, "These books are probably not for me. It’s for the Canton Princess right? He’s very thoughtful."
She felt a sudden impulse within her heart, and wanted to meet with him, before she stopped herself. She then closed the book, her expression was one of uncertainty. She thought to herself, 'The Peace Document which you wrote for the Crown Prince was actually very good. Just that, why did you have to give him that document?'
'The succession of the throne was a family matter between the royal household, and outsiders must never intervene, as there would be consequences to such meddling. As the Grand Princess, I can never meet with you again!'
"Grand Princess, are these books for the Canton Princess?" The granny standing by the side looked at the perplexed expression of the Grand Princess and stepped forward to ask.
The Grand Princess didn’t immediately reply, and started flipping through the books before sighing, "Leave the books. I shall take it to her myself."
She then continued, "Tell the person waiting outside, I won’t meet with them."
"Yes!" The granny relayed the message, and the guards outside walked up to official, "The Grand Princess insists, she will not see you."
The official then relayed the message to Pei Zi Yun, who wasn’t surprised by this. He then ordered the ox-cart to turn around. His brows were furrowed, which the official took to mean that he wasn’t in a good mood, and thus didn’t speak.
Actually Pei Zi Yun’s mood was rather upbeat. All the books that he had handed over to them had an element of romance to them, and were very suitable for female audiences. He had distributed the books to the merchants for distribution, which didn’t seem to spread too quickly. Just by giving it to the Grand Princess, he was assured that in no time, the entire capital would hear of it.
Once the Grand Princess and her daughter have read the books, they would naturally speak of it. Since their words would carry weight, his prestige would increase in no time, spreading all around the capital.
Although this was how he expected things to turn out, he was still troubled by something else. He had been in this world for two years, and issues kept coming up, wave by wave, unrelentingly. He wondered when he would next have peace and quiet.
"Ai...." Pei Zi Yun sighed deeply.

Earth Immortals are cultivated from a blessed land,
Heaven Immortals move to and fro from the divine mountains.
I have a stalk of plum blossom, and I shall maraud the Will of the Heavens with it!

"Why, you could not have possibly heard of this poem?" Ling Chongxiao asked after seeing the expression on Shen Lian’s face.
"I think so, I did. Was it by a Daoist with the surname, Wang?"
"That I am not sure. I recalled the Founding Master mentioned that he saw a tiny row of words at the end of the poem, it says, "my old friend Saffron had left, but his words shall remain, my heart would be like that of Jizi", but the person who left the words signed off as "Li".
The Founding Master thought, the poem was left by someone named "Saffron", but the person who signed off as "Li" was an old friend of Saffron. As for Jizi, the Founding Master had no idea what was it about.
The Founding Master was straightening out his confusion when he picked up a hint of blood from the scent of plum blossoms. When he turned to look, his limbs immediately weakened in fear. A tiger was right behind of him.
The dragons dwell amidst the clouds, whilst the tigers dwell amidst the wind. The corner of the tiger’s big eyes was upturned, and there were white stripes on its forehead.
After staring at the Founding Master, the tiger leaped for him.
The Founding Master took a few steps back in fear. What happened then left him in shock. The tiger did not land on top of him but was held in mid-air by an invisible rope.
"Who are you, and why have you come?" A child with a crisp voice queried.
The Founding Master saw the tiger being lowered onto the other side, and a young female child was sitting on its back. The girl had her hair tied, and was holding onto a jade green flute.
The girl looked around six to seven of age, and her skin was clear. Her exposed wrist could be akin to the frost and the snow, and she looked like the moon shining brightly on a quiet night. The way she spoke was the same as an adult, and she held a flute in her hand.
"Were you the one who was playing the flute?" The Founding Master asked curiously.
"Ah, so you are one of the normal humans who have stumbled into the mountains by mistake. I shall deal with you later."
Out of a sudden, ten red lines started closing in from the northwestern sky.
"Li Qingshui, I must send you back into the karmic cycle today." The person who was amidst the red lines spoke lowly.
The girl was staring at the red lines, and she took a glance at the Founding Master. A black cloud emerged underneath the tiger she was sitting on, and it flew towards the red lines.
Thunders were roaring in the northwestern sky, and rays of five colors crisscrossed with numerous red lines.
It was not until the sun was about to rise that the commotion ceased.
There was a stone house in the plum forest that the Founding Master was in. He waited till sunrise, yet the girl was nowhere to be found. However, he found a scroll of painting, three books of scripture, and a wooden fish in the stone house.
The girl did not return. The Founding Master left the stone house with the items he found. He did not walk towards the north-west, but he walked towards the south-east direction instead. He did not know how big the mountain was, the Founding Master walked for ten over days before he managed to get back to the sea on the south-east. He carefully practiced the martial exercises on the beach. When he had reached a certain level of attainment, he made a wooden raft and went back to the mainland.
"Now you finally know where the Shenzu Scripture came from," Ling Chongxiao said with a smile.
"The Shenzu Scripture was one of the secret texts that he found? And the wooden fish is the one that you are carrying?" Shen Lian queried softly.
"Good guess. Among the three scriptures, one was called Mingyu martial art, and one was called Shenzu Scripture". Both of them have their similarities, but Mingyu martial art was scarier. Both require the cultivator to have great potential. The only difference is that the stronger Mingyu martial art is actually incomplete. The man in green always thought the Master to favor me more, but actually, the Master knew him too well. He was aggressive and extreme. If he were to practice Mingyu martial art, he would do himself more harm than good. This was why the Master passed the perfected and completed Shenzu Scripture to him instead.
In terms of potential, it is undeniable that I have greater potential than him. The Master hoped that I could complete this Kung Fu, and pass it on to the future apprentices.
Throughout these years, I did learn something. With this Kung Fu, I managed to attain what the Daoist called "taming the white tiger", and I could preserve my youth. However, to complete this masterpiece is beyond my capabilities.
I have wasted a lot of my time for this, which is why I do not plan to pass the Mingyu Scripture on to you, for fear of wasting your time.
Also, my experience tells me that although the Mingyu Scripture is profound, it shares a similar origin with the Shenzu Scripture. Both are of authentic Xuanmen.
If you managed to cultivate the Shenzu Scripture to the highest level, you will benefit greatly, and the path of immortality will not be far."
After hearing everything from Ling Chongxiao, Shen Lian remembered the Shenzu Scripture actually appeared in one of Jin Yong’s novels. On the other hand, there was another book titled "The Daoist Drifting in the Wuxia World". The main protagonist created a version of Kung Fu named Shenzu Scripture.
Even though he loved the novel, he only managed to read three volumes of it.
He wanted to read the novel when the completed volumes of the novel were published, but it would seem that he would not have the chance to do so.
He wondered if there was a connection between all these. But how could the plot of a novel reconcile with his current predicament? That would be too hard to believe.
Novels are, after all, works of fiction. His journey to the foreign realm was the reality.
"Could the third scripture be, the Deity Vanquishing Sword Scripture?"
Shen Lian spoke slowly.
"Indeed. The Deity Vanquishing Sword is strong, and it is beyond the likes of martial arts found in Jianghu. If anything, it is more similar to Celestial arts. However, from the Founding Master onwards, everyone who has practiced it died an unnatural death. This is why the apprentices are prohibited from practicing it. When the man in green passed it on to you, he probably did not want this swordcraft masterpiece to be lost. Though he probably was brewing something evil, and did not pass it on out of goodwill."
Ling Chongxiao snickered and thought, in this world, he was the one who knew the man in green best. However, after the incident with the man in green, Ling Chongxiao could not be bothered to restore his sect. Since the meeting with Shen Lian was a fated one, he might as well pass the Kung Fu on to him, just so that the martial arts of his sect would not be lost.
"Destiny does not scare me, traditions do not bind me," Shen Lian replied. Those who practiced Deity Vanquishing Sword died unnaturally due to the deficiency in their spirit. Their over-reliance on the skill, when faced with strong enemies, caused irreversible damages to their spirit. What good would recovery do when they kept dealing damage to their spirit, to the point where they got more and more extreme? In the end, they either destroy the world or destroy themselves.
The reason why the man in green was so extreme was probably due to his character, but the Deity Vanquishing Sword was likely to have something to do with it.
Cultivation must be for the sake of self-protection. He must not indulge in killing and winning. If he were to cultivate, he must first cultivate his heart. If he could not even control his heart and let his heart do whatever it wanted, that would not be the right way of immortality.
For three nights, Ling Chongxiao explained to Shen Lian everything about cultivation.
In the end, he left without bidding farewell to Shen Lian. A letter was all that he left behind, and he did not tell Shen Lian where he could find him.
It was the morning of the reopening of Shen Lian’s inn. There was no grand ceremony.
The name "Tongfu Inn" was changed to "An Inn".
On the right door pillar, it said: "Cultured guests frequent here".
The pillar on the left said, "Unrefined guests are always welcome."


What is a Daoist Master? One that is imageless in ten directions and vanishes in the six paths; unrestrained by the three realms and the five elements.                                                                                                                                           
After a day at the clinic, Dr. Li Feng met with an accident on his way home. When he regained consciousness, Li Feng found himself in the body of a weak teenage boy who was born out of wedlock, Shen Lian. Who was the father? The mother would not tell. A scripture he found among his mother’s remnants was the only thing he knew about his father.                                                                                                    
The mother came from a wealthy and well known family. When Shen Lian was recalled back to the Shen family, he was entitled for part of the grandfather’s inheritance and businesses. Despite the grand value, Shen Lian did not take a cent with him when he decided to leave the family. Why would he leave this comfortable life behind?                                      
His journey with this new identity brought him into this new world as he travelled between realms in search of knowledge to improve his Daoist skills. As he conquered trial after trial, would he become the chosen one? Will he succeed in becoming the Daoist Master? Only time will tell.

Stephanie only wished Professor Hund was a little more competent, at least then she wouldn't have to be wasting the hundred points he had given her, learning something she would have otherwise learned in class.

The Library seemed to be completely empty apart from a librarian who Stephanie thought had to be an NPC—the Librarian just seemed so unreal—and Stephanie herself.

"Finally," she breathed as she found the book she was searching for.

If someone had told Stephanie that a day would come when she would visit a library without being forced, she would have rolled her eyes and probably laughed. But now as she held the leather-bound book in her hands, she couldn't help but frown. 

Books reminded her of her mother. Someone she shouldn't be thinking about unless she wanted to cry in no time. 

Whenever she thought of her mother, she thought of fire. Its colored flames devouring anything in its path with unbelievable hunger. Insatiable. Impossible. 

Whenever she thought of her mother, she remembered her father. And then all she would be able to feel is a deep rooted anger and hate. Hate for the man who had abandoned her and her mother. The very hate that threatened to make her abandon life as it currently was. 

Then when things got really bad, she would think about the very last words her mother had uttered.

'...remember Stephanie, no matter what happens, you have to be the best. Always be number one.'

Clutching the book to her chest, and staring at her black combat boots, Stephanie made her way to a section of the library that would keep her hidden.

She bumped into someone,

As she raised her head and recognized who she had bumped into, Stephanie couldn't help but feel angry. Not at the person but herself. Not at the very person who threatened her mother's last words, but at her weak self for making it happen.

Without as much as a word of apology whatsoever, she clambered away, constantly repeating to herself.

"I would be number one. I'd always be number one."

Nessa couldn't do anything but watch as Stephanie walked away shaking her head and holding a book like it was a lifeline. She had been idly walking to the bookshelves when she bumped into Stephanie.

Nessa partly blamed herself. She hadn't been looking where she was going; instead she silently wondered why Professor Avery had been so reluctant to help her.

She constantly replayed what the professor had said.

'I can't help you, at least not directly, not yet.'

But still, the more Nessa thought about it, the more she felt like grey hairs were replacing the black locks on her head.

Thinking is bad, she reminded herself as she made her way to the bookshelves. After moments of browsing, Nessa finally picked out a brown leather bound book and returned the way she had just come to a section of the library she thought no one would go to. 

Surprise became evident on her face the moment she saw Stephanie there too. She bit back a curse and went farther down the aisle sitting a few paces behind Stephanie.

Nessa spent what must have been hours reading the book. With satisfaction, she finally closed it. She finally understood. All Professor Hund had said was right, albeit ill explained. 

Nessa breathed deeply as she tried to sort through her thoughts. What she had just read in the book. She finally understood why it was easy for her to cast darkness magic. It was because her Ki flowed in the same pattern as darkness itself.

Everything in the world has Ki and everything is made up of a combination of the six elements. Each element in its own nature has its own Ki pattern, just like mages have their own Ki pattern.

The reason why it was easy for Nessa to cast darkness magic was because her Ki flowed in a pattern that 
resembled the pattern of darkness.

But that didn't mean that she needed to change her Ki pattern to cast a different element. It merely meant that she needed to adjust her flow-rate.

If she wanted to manipulate that very element in nature however, although she needs to adjust her flow rate, she would also have to take control of the element's own Ki.

What Nessa still didn't understand was what it meant to take control of the element's own Ki. Plus, if magic could be this simplified, why had Professor Hund insisted that certain elements are more easily manipulated in nature, than cast?

Not willing to rest until she knew everything, Nessa stood and made her way back to the bookshelves. This time she picked at least three books that she thought would help her.

Moments later as she walked towards her seat, she locked eyes with Stephanie. Behind her eyes, Nessa could see notthing but fury and extreme determination. 

'Gosh,' Nessa thought, 'Now I understand what it means for your fundamental element to be fire.'

Unwilling to waste any more time, she made her way to her seat. Her butt had barely touched the leather seat, when she opened the first book and started reading. It didn't take long before she discarded it and branded it useless, at least for now. The book kept talking about how it was easier to weave high end spells for group A elements than group B elements—not what Nessa was searching for.

A moment later another book was opened in front of her, and faster than the previous one, she discarded the book tagging it beyond useless.

The third book however, was a lot more useful. After five minutes of reading, Nessa already understood why it was easier to manipulate group B elements than cast them.

It is simply because,  the elements' Ki are easier to manipulate than even an individual's own Ki unless the individual had a pattern similar to that element. Whereas it was the exact opposite for group A elements.

Nessa thought back to the time Professor Hund had turned out all the candles in the classroom. Although she couldn't notice it then, now she could have sworn that she saw beads of sweat on Professor Hund's face.

Fire was a group A element, meaning it was easier for the Professor to manipulate his Ki (like making a fireball) than to manipulate the fire Ki (which was how he had turned off the candles.)

Nessa smiled as understanding shone on every portion of her face. If what she had discovered was true, it meant that even easier than making a dark energy ball, she should be able to manipulate darkness itself. All she needed to know was how exactly, she needed to manipulate darkness Ki.

Nessa made multiple attempts to try changing the form of shadows, but she could have as well been trying to light the night sky with a candle. Seemingly not satisfied, Nessa picked up the second book again, to see if there would be tips on how to control the world's Ki.

Just as she was about to begin reading, a hand appeared over the book. Nessa traced the hand up its arm, until her eyes landed on its owner's face.

Stephanie looked even more alert than she normally did. When she spoke, the words poured like several oceans on a beach. With so much authority. 

Nessa was tempted to say yes to what Stephanie had just demanded. The words still rang clear in her mind

"I challenge you to a duel?"

Nessa is a young paranoid girl who has no time for useless romance and cares about no-one but herself and her family. She's given a seemingly harmless gift which ends up changing her world as she knows it. Literally. 

Stuck in a different world with nothing but her wits and her brother, Nessa struggles to complete a game and escape a world filled magic, monsters and self made villains so she can return to reality. She soon finds out that this is indeed more than just a game and she was nothing more than a pawn in the hands of people far stronger than she was.

Thanks.

Starting from the twentieth chapter there would be clues in the Author's thought, that gives minor spoilers to events in the future.

----William's POV----
"Hmm?" Stephanie raises her eyebrow as she sits on crossed legs questioning us. Her fierceness look was quite tempting. What the hell am I supposed to tell her? I'm also shocked as she is. I don't understand what happened earlier, everything's a mess. Stephanie turns her head and looks at me.
"I don't know either! When we enter the headquarters, Clark was inside on one of the rooms. As I went in, I noticed him standing as he was looking at something then the next thing I know he was running towards me yelling that there a bomb then... the bomb went off." I answer with an irritated look on my face.
Stephanie didn't expect what happened. She turns quiet after hearing my statement. I can totally tell she's surprised but she not showing it on her face. Clark was still lying on the bed, slightly being gloomy.
"So, how did you guys survived?"
"The bomb was not that big, it is strong but couldn't take to whole headquarters. When Clark run towards me luckily we hid on a something like a plank of wood but Clark fell on top of me then one part of the roof knock him down it pierce on the side of his stomach. Good thing I have gotten rid of it."
Stephanie nod on relief but something was quite bothering her.
"How did you know that there's a bomb planted there? You saw something am I right? Brother?" Stephanie looks at Clark in sharp eyes. Come to think of it he did say that there's a bomb before it went off! Just what did he saw earlier!? We both look at him in suspicion. Clark was still in his cold faced not getting bothered by it. God, I hate his face!
"It's about father..." Clark says as he sits upon the bed.
Stephanie both shocked by what he said. Wait? What? Father? Theirs? They're hiding something from me...! They never told me about their father? How is it related to this shit?
"Wait! What father!?" I yell at them confusingly.
"Shut up! I'll kill you if someone heard you!" Stephanie's deadly eyes glare at me. Those mad eyes are definitely telling me something is wrong. 
"Is it... Okay to tell William?" Stephanie asks Clark with hesitant.
Not okay... to... tell me...? W-what...? I'm so dang confused.
The rooms fell silent, no one was willing to talk and break the atmosphere. Stephanie looks away trying to avoid the situation while Clark was resting his eyes. Leaving me confused as hell, can't fit in on the conversation.
"The reason why we established the Dark knight is... we want to find out the real cause of our father's death." Clark says in his cold tone. Both of them somehow turn gloomy. They both suddenly feel down but the terrified look on their faces was still there. Their father? They... never told me that... I thought the only reason they built it is that they want to kill some assholes who are being too greedy and a threat to the underworld. Having that kind of reason is impossible... suddenly interfering on the underworld just to slay some asshole is not.... something that can be easily done. What they're really after is seeking their father's death truth. I grip tightly on my fist despise of not knowing the truth.
"So what really happened?" Stephanie stands up on her seat not being able to carry anymore longer while arm's crossed her piercing gaze facing Clark.
------Flashback------
----Clark's POV----
As I was sneaking on the enemy base actually it's not really their base, it's just like a house that just used I think for their meeting place, the hallway was unexpectedly empty. William was left behind taking care first of the mess earlier before coming along. The house was an antique design, it was quite spectacular for someone to use it as their so-called hideout. I was wandering my eyes around and I noticed something's not right. My men were behind me high on guard as they pointing their guns waiting for an ambush while I was there walking calm but my guard isn't off. Hmm... 
Suddenly an eye-catching room caught my attention. Its door was filled with attractive design, wavy curls covered the entire door as the light shines on it. Why do I feel like something besides this door? The urge to open this door inside me is eating me away. Ugh... Damn...
"I'm going in, others guard the door and the rest continue the search." They all nodded and move on their positions right away. The ones who will continue patrolling continue walking forward leaving the others who will stay behind me.
"Guard the door, I want to be alone." I was about to enter the door giving them cold shoulder they both hesitant to follow my orders.
"What?" I glare at them threatening them to stop their foolishness. This is irritating... They both head as soon as they saw my terrifying face. Those piercing glaze on my eyes making them no choice but to move on their positions. God...
As I enter the door, a dusty library surprised me. The bookshelves were all covered with spider webs, not just the books but the whole room was dusty. Does someone even clean this place? *cough cough.  I was looking around the room, all the books were just about economic and stuff, nothing important. I spotted a table in the room, it has a letter and a file. I got curious about whether this file is the one I've been looking for. Top secret? The file's name was quite alerting, as soon as I open the file the information in there got me shocked. It's like the feeling of finding out the truth all this time. A mix of excitement and fearful emotion lingering me down my spine of what kind of truth I'm about to see.

What really os their relationship?
What is really Stephanie V's identity? 
What will happen if the world knows that their siblings in blood? How did the rumored start?

PS: this is a male and female lead.

Fortunately, Eve still has some urge to continue with their nightly activities and complied with Aster's newly found drive for having another session of sex. What she did not know was the reason for his unusual need for sex? Not that it mattered because she was prepared to match him as she could.

'Who is dumb enough to not cherish the opportunity for gaining elusive points?' He said while he laced his penis with some of the Deflowered Lady Cream. It was applied right by the penile shaft behind his dickhead, the cream would work wonders instantly as he enjoyed another session of rubbing inside her. Eve's pain from having her hymen broken was erased and a soothing sensation replaced it. She could not help but think. 'He is really prepared for any circumstance when it comes to going to bed with a woman.'

Aria and Plum, Eve's triplet counterparts, were basically done for the night and proceeded to sleep in their current position which was right beside their sister.

"Aaah!" Eve tried to muffle her moans to let her sisters sleep and rest but the sensation was too pleasurable in her pussy that she can't help herself and just moan. Aster movement perfectly stimulated her and was learned from accumulating sexperience with the Mighty Missionary Skill I.

He did not know much about gaining sexperience and the qualitative rise in its number was quite fluctuating. The system did not give Aster any guideline for leveling up the skill but he still felt that his technique in bed was getting better and better. He was basically a virgin the other night but now he was more or less equal to a veteran in battles of the bed.

Aster decided to have sex with her with pure back and forth motion that is expected with sex and the missionary position. He felt that Eve has a greater sexual tolerance than the other two and had the hunch that she would be perfect to get him through the night. He also did not forget to trace his fingers to the sleepers' pussies because he felt that it might compromise the multiplier bonus.

'System, does the multiplier have other complications I should know about? Like the criteria for its continuation and such.' Only the trusty system could enlighten him on such matters and so he conversed while pleasuring the trio to their satisfaction.

"Host, the 3x harem multiplier is activated as long as you are in bed and session with your harem members. Even if you are not directly pleasuring them, the multiplier is still in effect." The system responded as always.

'I know that much because how the heck would I be able to pleasure ten or more women at the same time. What I wanted to know is the limited edition 2x multiplier?' Aster had a feeling that the system was fluctuating a lot. It would give some comments that signify its annoyance and understanding like a living being and at times like these, it would stick to computerized prompts that would not hit the mark of his inquiries.

It is like how one would use the search bar for the web to answer your profound assignments and what you get are answers that are pretty much far from what you mean. The system and browsers would basically need a specified search using a smart configuration and ingenious use of words.

The system answered again in a more appropriate response to his question. "For the limited time multipliers such as the triplet multiplier you are using right now, it would not take effect if the whole three of them does not feel pleasure and the sensation of sex. If only one person among the three is experiencing the feeling of lust, the multiplier would cease its effect and only the 3x multiplier bonus would be available."

'Basically, what I am doing is correct. Even if Aria and Plum are asleep, given that they are still feeling lust as I touch their pussies it would work.' With his doubt cleared, he continued to pleasure the trio together. It was unfortunate that he could not play with Eve's bouncing boobs in a missionary position but there are still chances in the future. Maximizing the lust points gained through a sexual frenzy with the triplets was his top priority at the moment.

"Aster, cum... inside me?" Eve said as she felt herself holding back her orgasms to experience a unison of orgasm with him. Who was he to reject her request? When he felt his dick twitch from the excitement, another wave of seminal discharge happened inside her.

"Oooh!!!" Eve's body curved like an arch towards the ceiling as she orgasmed with him. The view was astonishing that his sexual desires spiked up to its most optimal condition again.

"You're so sexy, Eve. I can't contain myself and go again." Hearing her lover's voice of praise, Eve was pleased and offered herself up. "Play... with me to your heart's desire then."

He grinned and whispered to her ears as he leaned in close to her. "Why don't you finger your sisters with your finger? Be careful not to wake them up though because I need to play with them tomorrow."

Eve complied with his strange request and not knowing that he is only doing it for the triplet bonus. She felt up her sisters' pussies and rubbed them gently. Her sisters were in deep sleep but she felt that they were in sexual wonderland in their dreams as she saw their smiles. 

Meanwhile, Aster blocked her view of their faces with his legs when he carefully positioned and knelt by her upper body. She saw his dick up close that she felt it was bigger than when she swallowed it. It was an illusionary effect that was brought about by the distance and elevation but she still could not help herself and gulp in surprise due to his actions.

"What are you doing, Aster?" She felt the need to satiate her curiosity. Aster grinned and explained his goals. "Well, I felt sorry for your breasts for being left out, so I decided to have sex with them."

He felt excited by the prospect of moving his dick in between her little B cup breasts. Eve understood his intentions and could not help but voice out. "Ay. The feeling might not be as great as big breasted women though. Are you prepared to have your expectations crushed?"

Eve had read a lot of erotic books and could not help but feel down on herself. Despite their stunning beauty that wowed many, she felt incompetent when comparing herself with girls that have greater boobs in the novels. She was not considered flat but it was still inadequate for Aster's large dick to rub itself in her relatively small breasts.

"Don't worry about it, a tit fuck is still a tit fuck." He also noticed the downcast tone in her voice and felt the need to appease her. "Your breasts are beautiful and you need to feel proud of it."

Aster could not help but curse himself for being cheesy in his lines. Before, he would barf at the thought of saying lines like these. Strangely enough, he was happy now when he sensed that Eve's mood was back to her usual happy self.

"Your such a sweet talker, Aster. You have to be the one to stick it together though because I still have to please these wet dreamers." She smiled at him while joked at her sisters' expense from feeling that they were flowing wet with her fingering when they were clearly asleep. She had a feeling that they were reliving their sexual moments with Aster in their naughty dreams.

Eve's assumptions were not wrong this time because Aria and Plum were really in their sexual wonderland. Their sexual experience was only fresh on this day and the vividness was without a match. Coupled with Eve's fingers stimulating it in reality, the dream was as realistically illusory for them.

Aster did not bother much and controlled his strength to mold her breast together to simulate a pussy. Eve felt a wave of lust as her sensitive and erect nipples touched each other. He did not wrap his dick with it first but he made it thrust to the gaps. It was like forcing its way through a pussy that is made with booby flesh.

The shine of the light in the room was reflected by her glossy skin and sparkling sweat. He moved back and forth and saw his penis pierce through and reach out to the other end.

Aster rhythmically moved forward and back and triggered the nerves in his penis to stimulate and flow through his body. The sensation was not any lesser than moving inside her pussy.

"It's... amazing!" Eve saw his dick head grow big and shrink smaller in her perspective. The illusion of the eyes was intensified as lust had overtaken her thoughts once again. Despite not being pleased by much through her breasts, the thought of him moving like how she sees inside her had still stimulated her erotic fantasies. Her nipples rubbing against each other was enough for her cervical fluids to flow.

It took about fifteen minutes until they both attained orgasms. Eve's pussy burst out juices like a little fountain while Aster ejected his semen until it sprayed on her face.

"Not enough!" The new method of sex had enticed him so much that he rubbed his dick on her cummed up pretty face to bath it in lubricative fluids.

"Hmmm... you addicted to my breasts now?" She loved the feeling of his dick caressing her face and could not help but tease him for it. Seeing him doing his best to please himself with her breast made her happy and forget about her previous insecurities.

"Hehe. You could say that." He answered her playful question while he rubbed up his penis towards her pussy-like breast again. This time, the process was much smoother and more exciting in their opinion.

Every move of his dick would make sloshing sounds that aroused the both of them. Aster sank in perversion from the sensation that he had thrust his dick uncountable times. His precum had long flowed and traced Eve's neck. It took another while until he blasted another wave of his white semen into her face.

She had her mouth on the ready at this session and caught most of what she could. Most of it still sprayed to her cheeks but she licked and reach for the fun of it. "Want to... go again, Aster?"

"Yes." Aster answered with great enthusiasm. Every time that he felt his libido wane, Eve's enticing actions such as licking his semen and swallowing it without disgust would only spike it up again.

He felt reluctant to part with the breast configuration but they needed their share of rest. If he were to get overboard, unforeseen circumstances such as deformations may occur. It would be fine if Eve were an Initiate but she was still considered a mortal that had not even stepped into the Novice level.

Aster chose to vent his lust on her vagina while calling up on the system for a new set of commands. 'System, raise Eve to Novice 1 please. This should even out the starting point of the sisters.'

As he had his penis move inside of her, the harem mark glowed to its unparalleled darkness and mana flowed inside Eve. Aster could not help himself but praise the system with its ingenious design with the glowing of the dark halo.

Eve had finally gotten her much deserved advancement after waiting and seeing her sisters experience it before her. Her fatigue from her previous sexual sessions had lessened and she was more enthusiastic to match his tempo.

Her legs embraced his behind to invite him deeper inside her. This was the same way that Aria reacted and the best way for him to enjoy being inside them.

He pounced at her for the rest of the night. A frenzy of sex was happening and they had fun as they could. Plum and Aria were not forgotten by the wake duo as they gently traced their pussies with every extra movement that they could while having fun with each other.

A nameless and disowned youth is sent out to fend for himself. Not known to his family is the secret that hid within him.

By his 18th birthday, the Lust Exchange System awakens from its long slumber. It assists him in his conquest to the peak and his life surrounded by beauties.

Heavily and strictly 18+. Don't proceed if you do not like these sorts of stuff.

...
Old Plum nodded his head while forming a satisfied expression on his face after seeing his disciple's reaction.Then the old man said. "So, what do you plan now?"
Shin thought for a moment before replying. "Who will refuse to take such an amazing path, but walking on it is going to be hard."
Old Plum smirks and said. "Is it being a Practioner is always been like that?"
"Turning into a Unique Cultivator from being a Dual-Practioner?" muttered Shin to himself before looking to the old man and said. "So what will be my training plan now?"
"Wonderful!" exclaimed by Old Plum before saying. "We don't have a training plan for now because I need to discuss it with Old Fatty Benn."
"For now, you should continue your training regime while we are finalizing the details of your new training routine."
"At the same time, you should start creating your 'Unified Strengthening Technique'. And forget about the 'Qi Refinement Skills' that you have, and use these ones instead."
Then three Martial-Art manual suddenly appeared at Old Plum's left-hand before he throws it at Shin.
Shin catches the manuals with his left hand before reading it one by one. "Reinforce Iron Bones, Jade Dragon Scales, Thunder King's Constitution."
Shin knitted his brows before looking at Old Plum doubtfully. "You want me to learn these skills? But they don't seem to compliment the Yin-Yang Martial-Arts."
Old Plum looks at Shin as if he is looking to an idi*t and sneered. "Kid. Do you think that you know my self-created Martial-Arts better than me?"
Of course, Shin knows about that, but he still can't help himself to become doubtful. And Old Plum can't help himself but shake his head after seeing the expression on Shin's face.
Old Plum releases a helpless sigh before saying. "Hay~st. You still never change, Kid. Always been doubting everything that doesn't seem to coincides with your ideals unless it is proven."
"Tsk! Alright, This 'Qi Reinforcement Skills' are originally one. And it is one of my Masterpiece Martial-Art Skills. I divided it into three different parts so that it can be used in the lower realm since it was originally for 'Ascension Realm' experts."
Shin then nodded his head and said. "So you also made this 'Qi Reinforcement Skill' to complement your Yin-Yang Martial-Arts?"
Old Plum nodded his head reassuringly before saying. "Of course!"
Shin nodded his head once again before asking. "Then how do you call this 'Qi Reinforcement Skill'?"
Old Plum suddenly knitted his brows before replying with a little doubtful voice. "Sacred God Physique."
'I knew it!' shouted Shin inwardly and said. "You know, I'm starting to notice something, Old Geezer. Why are you only teaching me the other half of you real Yin-Yang Martial-Arts? I feel that you don't trust my ability at all."
The expression on the old man's face suddenly turned stiff after hearing that. Then he said stuffily. "W-What are you talking about?"
Shin clicked his tongue dissatisfaction and said. "Tsk! I'm not a complete idi*t, Old Geezer. I know that you are concerned about the seed inside my inner heart."
"But if you keep caging me for not letting me use the other style of your Martial-Art, then you are just limiting my growth."
"This Martial-Art is called 'Yin-Yang Arts'. And it is clearly stated in the first Chapter that for every 'Yin' there will always be a corresponding 'Yang', or vice versa as they need to be together to produce all that comes to be."
"Given that, I will never be able to showcase the true greatness of this Martial-Art if you are only going to teach me the half of it and keeping the other half."
'This rascal always has a silver tongue at convincing people.' Old Plum stared at his disciple with profound eyes and sighed helplessly. "Kid. I know that you want to get strong, but you are still not ready to learn the other style of the 'Yin-Yang Martial-Art'."
Shin looks at Old Plum with determined eyes and said. "And how can you be sure that I am still not prepared to learn the 'Black Dragon Style'? Is my progress with the 'White Tiger Style' not enough."
"Because you just undergo a Demonic Possession just recently." answered Old Plum almost instantly, and shutting up Shin's mouth.
Old Plum looks straight to Shin's eyes before continuing. "Do you know why my Martial-Art is quite special compared to the other Martial-Arts?"
"Because of its dual-styles?" said Shin with unsure tone.
Old Plum clicked his tongue before continuing. "Tsk! Some Martial-Arts also have dual-styles. There are even some that have multiple styles."
"What is special with my 'Yin-Yang Martial-Arts' is it can nurture two kinds of Internal Qi. The Sacred and Wicked Internal Qis." And while saying that, Old Plum produces a black and white Internal Qis with each of his hands.
Shin's eyes suddenly turned bright as he became amazed at what he saw.
Old Plum ignored Shin's reaction and continue. He raises his right-hand with white-colored Internal Qi while saying. "This is what I call the Sacred Internal Qi and symbolized Yang Energy. It exhibits light, heat, and dryness. It can also purify some evil energies."
After that, Old Plum lowered his right-hand while raising his left-hand that have black Internal Qi. "This one, on the other hand, is the Wicked Internal Qi and symbolized the Yin Energy. And it exhibits the darkness, cold, and wetness. And I called it wicked as it is a berserk type of energy."
"And as you can see the Sacred Internal Qi is pretty much stronger than the Wicked one. I purposely made it so that I can control the latter's berserk nature."
Then Old Plum pauses for a moment to combine each of his hands, making the two types of Internal Qi to fuse with each other. Then an alternating black and white Internal Qi was created.
After that, Old Plum continued. "Meanwhile, this Internal Qi is my 'Natural Force' and I called it the 'Yin-Yang Force'."
"Even if this Force is not as strong as the 'Emperor Yan Force', 'Ice Queen Force', and any other supreme Natural Forces, it can still contend on those Forces on an equal footing."
"And the element that is affiliated to my 'Yin-Yang Force' is can either be a fiery-hot flame or an ice-cold frost. It can also be both."
After the demonstration, Old Plum retrieve the Internal Qi and return it in his body before looking at Shin seriously and saying with a solemn tone. "But your case is pretty much different."
"You have a Seed of Hatred inside your inner heart, and what's worse, you already experience a Demonic Possession. So the moment you started practicing the 'Black Dragon Style' your body will produce a Demonic Qi instead of the Wicked Internal Qi."
"And since the Sacred Internal Qi and Demonic Qi are on equal ground, controlling them are going to become a troublesome matter. Especially that they are passively rejecting each other."
"So given those, it is too dangerous for you to practice the other style of the 'Yin-Yang Martial-Arts'. Or else, you might transform into a 'True Demon' if some accident happens. And at that time, no one can save you anymore."
Shin turned quiet after hearing that. And after a few minutes of silence, he releases a helpless sigh before saying. "Then it can't be helped."
Then Shin is about to stand up and plans to leave when Old Plum opens his mouth. "Two conditions."
Shin pauses his movements before looking at the old man. Then Old Plum continues. "I'm going to give two types of conditions. And if you manage to achieve either one of those two, then I'm going to teach you the other style."
Shin sits on the ground once again before waiting for Old Plum to continue.
Old Plum releases a helpless sigh before adding. "If you are able to hold yourself in 'White Dawn Boundary' state for an entire hour, then I'm going to teach you the 'Black Dragon Style."
"The other one is if you are able to show me that you are capable of wielding both Sacred Internal Qi and Demonic Qi simultaneously, and it has to be without any kind of problem."
Then Shin suddenly asks instinctively. "Then how about if I managed to achieve both?"
Old Plum was gotten off-guard by that sudden question. Then he smirks at Shin before saying with a sneering tone. "Then I'm also going to teach you the whole set of the 'Absolute Yin' and 'Extreme Yang' skills."
Shin clench his hand as he simultaneously got excited and motivated. After that, Old Plum gives a few more instructions for Shin on how he is going to change his usual training regime.
And there are other things that have been added on the list of what he is going to do. Now, he needs to read some records regarding the 'Worldly Origin' and 'Secret Arts'.
He doesn't need to combine his Internal Qi and Mental Energy immediately, or learn any kind of 'Secret Arts'. For now, the only he needs is to get some idea of how those two systems work.
Before Shin leaves, he suddenly remembered the original reason why he came here. Then he tells Old Plum what he has experienced earlier.
After that, Old Plum suddenly get quiet and think for a moment. Then he looks at Shin with profound eyes before flicking his right wrist, sending three falling leaves in the latter's direction.
Shin suddenly raise his right-hand before catching the incoming leaves with it, instinctively.
"Oh~♪" Old Plum's eyes suddenly turned bright after seeing that. Then he flicked his right wrist once again. And this time, he sends five falling leaves.
Shin did the same thing and caught the five of them. After that, Old Plum continues while Shin keeps catching all of the leaves that ware sent towards him.
They continue to do that until Shin failed to catch all of the incoming leaves. And with that, Old Plum finally confirmed something. He looked at Shin and smilingly said. "You don't have to worry, Kid. What you have experienced is quite normal."
Shin knitted his brows before asking. "So what really happened?"
Old Plum smiled mysteriously while stroking his beard with his right hand. "It is an indication that your 'Immediate Response' talent is in the process of evolving."
At first, what he heard didn't immediately sink in on his head as he suddenly got off-guard. Then he suddenly became shocked, before being excited. "What!? Really!?"
Old Plum laughs at Shin's reaction before instructing his excited disciple. "And remember, immediately do your usual training regime if you experience something similar. It is to rip off the most benefits that you can get from it."
"But don't get your hope rises that high. It is just in the process of evloving, transfoming it into Ultra Instincts is still too far off."
After that, Shin stood up and thank the old man before walking back towards the Mansion.
Shin didn't immediately go back to the game when arrived at the Mansion. Instead, he walked straight to the study room, or to be more precise, it is the Springfield Family's library.
Even if the technology at this time is quite advanced, there are still some things that are better be written on a book and papers than being in the storage of personal Advance Watches or computers. And one of those are Secret Manuals that are containing some important information.
Shin walked around the library while looking for some books regarding 'Worldly Origin', 'Secret Arts', and 'Unified Strengthening'. And when he got all the manuals that he needs, he immediately walked out of the library with a pile of books.
And when he is about to walk out of the study room, Shin suddenly bumped into 'General Samuel Springfield'.
Shin pause his steps and nodded his head at General Springfield while greeting the later. "Hi, Grandpa! Let me borrow these books for quite some time. I need to study them."
After that, Shin walked past the old general and immediately walked towards his room.
General Springfield knitted his brows while looking at Shin's back. Then he tried to recall the names of the books and manuals that Shin was carrying. Then his eyes suddenly turned wide when he recalled it and realized what Shin is planning to do.
After that slight surprise, the general suddenly formed a satisfied smile with his lips before muttering to himself. "Heh! This kid really doesn't want to be left behind and always loves to be ahead of others. I wonder what height will these two rascals reached in the future."
Then he entered the study room before dialing a number in his Advance Watch. When the call connected, General Springfield immediately said. "Arrange some slots for me on the upcoming event. I have some candidates in mind."
...


Shin Kinghad is a kid that had been abducted and trained by a powerful underworld organization since he was three years old. After six years, he had been rescued by the Special Forces during their operation against that organization and was adopted by the captain of the special force group.

Since then, he treated the son and daughter of the captain as his own brother and sister. 

Years later, he joins the greatest VRMMORPG of all time, [Destiny's Fate] online, due to repeated invitations of his brother. He creates havoc inside the game as he climbs his way from being a beginner player to a peak class expert. 

But as he started to grow up, he became curious about his real identity and who his biological parents were. He tried to investigate it with the help of his brother and best friend. And after discovering his real background, he decided to follow his father’s footsteps and stood at the peak of the world using his Martial-Art Skills and Mentalism Techniques.

The moment Han Xiao saw Stephanie, he felt that she looked familiar. As he looked at her carefully, his heart skipped a beat.
He did not recognize the other hunters, but he was familiar with this woman!
Many players in his previous life had known Stephanie. She was very active during the Calamity of the Supers version. She was a subordinate of the Beyond Grade A from the Abyss of Stars, [Thousand Shadows]. She fought for Thousand Shadows with countless Supers as pawns, including many players that teamed up to kill her. In the end, she died in a battle while being surrounded by many forces… or she was finally freed.
After that, a related Dungeon Crystal appeared. Stephanie was inside the dungeon as a hidden boss. There was a chance of obtaining an extremely rare reward by defeating her.
In the later stages of Han Xiao's previous life, with an extremely high 87.6% player repeat rate, she entered the list of top hundred hard workers and received the honorable title 'Lady Stephanie'!
At that stage, the player count of Galaxy was dozens of times greater than the player count of Version 2.0. The number of players online at the same time was more than ten million. The fact that more than eighty percent of players had repeated Stephanie's dungeon before represented its popularity!
It was a little embarrassing to mention, but Han Xiao had fought Stephanie with at least three hundred different accounts. He could not have been more familiar with her.
Han Xiao did not expect to recognize one of the enemies, so he was surprised.
Initially, he did not know who the mastermind was. Now that he had seen Stephanie, everything became clear, and he found the truth.
It was Thousand Shadows!
No wonder, no wonder, everything connects now… Han Xiao was excited. If the mastermind was indeed Thousand Shadows, he knew why the hunters were capturing Supers.
It was to provide 'shadows' for Thousand Shadows!
Thousand Shadows' ability was very strange. He could absorb other individuals and turn them into his underlings, who were called 'shadows'. The shadows still retained most of their personality, but they had a sense of belonging and loyalty toward Thousand Shadows that could not be erased. In this condition, their memories were slightly altered.
The shadows slept inside Thousand Shadows, but at the same time, they could act for him.
The abilities of the shadows were preserved, or even enhanced, after fusing with Thousand Shadows. Thousand Shadows had lived for too long. No one knew how many shadows were in his body. He was an extremely mysterious member of The Ancient Ones.
Han Xiao recalled a secret that a player had found in his previous life. In order to live longer, Thousand Shadows sought help from specialized people and gave his Esper ability vitality. He then gave up his body and turned into a strange 'Esper Being'. Usual methods could not kill him. He had lived for close to a thousand years and was a member of The Ancient Ones.
Discovering the truth, Han Xiao was feeling gloomy. Thousand Shadows liked high-quality shadows, so he probably would not give up easily on Han Xiao. Han Xiao absolutely did not want to become a part of Thousand Shadows; he would lose himself and become a puppet!
Stephanie was Thousand Shadows' shadow. Her life story was rather tragic, too. Before she died, her true self returned for a moment and explained her origins.
Back at the start of the exploration era, before the Primordial Ones had been born, when the war between the three Universal Civilizations extended throughout the entire universe…
She was born in an era of war, an Antarrian. Her civilization's mother planet was dragged into the war. She displayed extraordinary talent from a young age, so she was chosen as a warrior, fighting for her home and quickly growing.
In a short period of a little more than ten years, she had already become the protector of her home, at the age normal Galaxy Human Race women were at their peak. At such a young age, she became the top protector of Antarr. She was so strong that even the three civilizations had heard of her.
However, a gigantic war broke out between the Crimson Dynasty and Federation of Light that used an entire Star Cluster as the battlefield. The Antarrians were affected. Their mother planet fell, and their colonial planets turned into ruins under the Crimson Dynasty's iron hoofs. Only a handful of people escaped with spaceships used for migration—Stephanie was one of the survivors.
People in wars were realistic. The survivors had no time to miss their mother planet and left the battlefield quickly, looking for a new home to rise again. However, an unwelcome guest had his eyes on Stephanie… Thousand Shadows.
Thousand Shadows was originally from a long-lived race and had already lived for many years. At that time, he had yet to give up his body and was not Beyond Grade A. He wanted Stephanie's power, so he intercepted the spaceship that the Antarr survivors were in.
In the ending, the Antarr Civilization was another extinguished civilization, and Stephanie became one of Thousand Shadows' shadows.
The history only recorded what happened—the cold words could not record emotions. The motives, feelings, and the reactions of everyone back then became mysteries. In Han Xiao's previous life, after Stephanie became a part of the dungeon, some players looked for her history out of curiosity. From a few descriptions in some history books, they came to know that some historians believed that if Stephanie did not 'mysteriously disappear', she might have become one of the [Primordial Ones].
However, during the exploration era, there had been way too many Calamity Grades that had a lot of potential, and most of them had died in battle. The Primordial Ones were the first group of Beyond Grade As that walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood alive. Thousand Shadows was not one of the Primordial Ones. He was always very mysterious, only appearing as a Beyond Grade A near the end of the exploration era.
In just one look, these thoughts flashed through Han Xiao's mind. He took a deep breath. The true identity of the enemy had been discovered—it was definitely very stressful to be Thousand Shadows' enemy, but that was something for later.
The most imminent problem was dealing with nine Calamity Grades.
Especially Stephanie.
With a push, a beam of [Psionic Impact—Whale] headed right toward Stephanie. The enormous mechanical army around Han Xiao started to move toward all the enemies.
Bang bang bang!
Countless Psionic Cannons crisscrossed, and mechanical soldiers approached the enemies with weapons and shields in their hands. Stephanie and the rest moved, too.
The battle erupted; the scene instantly became chaotic!
Han Xiao never overestimated himself. Although his mechanical army was much stronger than before, facing nine experienced Calamity Grades was still beyond his capabilities. Among the nine enemies, there were two Mechanics. One of them was a Cannon Master, shooting out large beams from extremely high caliber cannons, shattering mechanical soldiers one after another.
The other one used the Galactic Stronghold Style. A several-hundred-meter-tall fortress expanded from his hands. It had extremely strong firepower and its own guards.
Clank!
Metal clashed against metal nonstop, electrical sparkles replaced blood, and scrap metal and wires fell like rain.
Among the rest of the enemies, there were two Pugilists, one Mage, and four Espers. Stephanie was one of the Espers!
Stephanie's ability was the most mysterious. Like a diving eagle, she headed right for Han Xiao in the middle of the army. Everywhere she passed, the nearly mechanical soldiers all shattered. The air around her looked like it was bent by high temperature. From very far away, she raised her hand and aimed at Han Xiao.
With just this one move, several notifications popped up on Han Xiao's interface.
