Mia and Sarah looked at Autumn with sparkling eyes as they were both waiting for his compliments of how they look, making them flash enchanting smiles as they look at him.






Autumn snap out of his thoughts and words subconsciously spewed out of his mouth as he look at the both of them.






"Your dress match you well and you look so stunning making that the colors around you has become dimmer as the both of you arrive, making your body explode with infinite charm." Autumn said with a dumb look after he finished his words.







Mia and Sarah look at him with an amuse expression as Autumn spewed honey coated words at them but in the inside the both of them were screaming with intense happiness as they saw how speechless Autumn was.







"You look handsome too with your outfit Brother Autumn, making your original handsome face be highlighted with splendor." Sarah complimented with a seductice look in her eyes as she look at Autumn.







Mia also agreed and look at him with burning eyes, making both of them look like hungry jackals.






"I don't know when or how but in the past 10 months we were training in the dimension space the three of us got close to each other like glue as we don't even mind being naked infront of each other and don't even get emberassed showing our private parts." Autumn silently thought as he embarassedly looked at them when he said those words.








As for how Sarah learned that seductive look you have to look for Mia as she was the one who taught Sarah almost everything a girl should do and should not do. 







Sarah and Mia then slowly walk infront of Autumn as they obeserve him closely.







Autumn wore a classic tuxedo in his previous life but the tie is pure red, the inner clothing is white, the outer coat is blood red, with his sleeves that was patterned with runic lines as they flickered from time to time with blood color, and he wore a classic black shoes for the final touch.








After inspecting Autumn from top to bottom Sarah and Mia was satisfied how Autumn look and then both of them came to his side and kissed his cheeks on each side and then hook their arms around his.






Muah! Muah!








Autumn was used to this kind of thing as he then started to walk with the two girls in his arm. And if your wondering how Mia is able to hook her arms around Autumn that was only 180cm in height, well she can adjust her height as long she wills thanks to her constant practice of the Tyrant Flame Body she can control any muscle and bones around her body so adjusting her height is a piece of cake. Their dress can also adjust to any heigth as long they imbue a tiny bit of Qi to the dress.








After walking for 30 minutes they arrived at the a exit of the forest and saw the bustling city that was streaming with merchants that constantly flows through the gate.







They started to walk through the city gate and immediately countless greedy and lustful eyes was staring at Mia and Sarah like a hungry wolf that surrounded the helpless sheeps but the moment those kinds of eyes appeared their body then slump down and all they saw was a flash of red moving from caravan to caravan who was looking at them with greedy and lustful eyes. Even the guards were killed, it may seem like it took a long time to do it but all it took was 0.3 seconds to kill all the merchants, mercenaries, and guards. The total number of bodies were 800 or more as the bodies then formed puddles of blood everywhere.




AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!





Screams from terrified civilians then sounded through the city gate as the bodies of countless people fell. 





The screams then alerted all the family patriarchs as they heard a lot of screaming from the civilian as they only heard this kind of scream from either a beast tide or a powerful enemy appearing.





The five family patriarchs quickly appeared infront of the city gate as they saw 2 world toppling beauties and a handsome young man. But the moment their eyes lock onto the young man there whole life seem to flash before their eyes as they countless corpses that stacked through the heavens and a 100 meter humanoid being sitting on a bone throne with a blood crown on its head.





But the vision then quickly disappeared as it quickly it appeared. The 3 mysterious guest then appeared 20 meters away from them and the girls at the male's sides look at them with an amused expression and the male figure look at them with cold chilling eyes like they were already dead the moment they saw those eyes.







The Leporem family patriarch then spoke with a respectful tone.







"Guest from afar what is your intent for coming to this wasteland of a city."






The male figure look at the Leporem patriarch with a thoughful expression and then said with a serious tone.







"Information about the whole human continents and other continents and also to kill a person."







After finishing talking the male figure just looked at the Leporem patriarch and waited for her answer.






The other four family patriarchs then look at the Medicanmentum patriarch as the Medicanmentum fanily has the largest information collection about the human continent and the other continents as well. Seeing that he was the focus of attention he immediately took out all kinds of books and documents regarding the information of the different continents.








The male figure then wave his hand as the books and documentaion then disappeared all at once. Then the male figure suddenly closed his eyes and started to sense everything in the whole city. 





The city is only 40 kilometers wide which is not really a problem for Autumn as his mental steength is stronger than before reaching the level of War Emperor in terms of mental strength.







The five patriarchs then felt a huge mental conscious covering the whole city as they felt a stronge sense of pressure and suffocation. It only lasted for 2 seconds as they felt the mental conscious quickly receeded to the body of the male figure.

The story of an ordinary guy in college that got transported in another world and learns that the world is a magical world where demons and gods live.

"This world is more exciting than my previous one, your demons and gods be prepared to meet my sword and be slaughtered by me the Asura King"

Dragon-Phoenix Sword (intermediate): An extremely recondite sword skill of the pugilistic world. The moves seemed fierce and vicious but it is actually a skill based on defense and protection. Even if you're facing an opponent that is much more powerful than you, you will be able to protect yourself from any danger. Cultivation requirements: Intelligence 25, Enlightenment 25, Physique 70, Arm strength 60.
There didn't seem to be any problems with this sword skill on the surface.
But, based on Ye Weiming's many years of gaming experience, he knew that all techniques had their flaws. Most of the time, when the description emphasized solely on a single advantage, it was to hide the flaws in the other areas.
The description of this 'Dragon-Phoenix Sword' kept praising its self-defense ability as if you would become impenetrable once you practiced it. Ye Weiming believed that it did have a strong self-defense ability but its offensive ability must be negligible. If it didn't have such an obvious flaw, the system wouldn't have recognized it as an intermediate sword skill. If there was no such flaw, it should at least be an advanced sword skill!
Ye Weiming always believed that the strongest would win the battle. Thus, he wasn't interested in this kind of self-defense sword skill.
The reply You Jin gave to Ye Weiming's reasonable appeal was, "Once the rewards for a mission have been given out, you can't change it for whatever reasons."
As if I will believe you, you sneaky fellow who always hides half the truth! You're so evil!
Ye Weiming patted his hands and learned the 'Dragon-Phoenix Sword'. Then he rushed out of the Divine Constable Bureau without bidding a single farewell. He only left a handsome back view of his head for You Jin. 
A real man will never turn back to look at a pervert!
After leaving the Divine Constable Bureau, Ye Weiming directly went to the Military Weapon Armoury that wasn't far away. 
The Military Weapon Armoury belonged to the imperial court directly. It was in charge of crafting weapons for the country's army. There were many skilled craftsmen inside. The assistant officer, Tie Zhi, was the best craftsman among them. He was the man Ye Weiming wanted to find.
When he came to the entrance of the Military Weapon Armoury, Ye Weiming showed the NPC his token of authority. The NPC guarding the door went in to inform his superiors of his arrival. Ye Weiming was then invited into a room so that he could wait there. After some time, a man wearing the uniform of the Emei Sect walked into the room. When he saw Ye Weiming, he immediately smiled and went forward. "Are you Ye Weiming from the Divine Constable Bureau?"
Ye Weiming nodded and looked at the fellow in front of him who was dressed weirdly. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"Swordsman Wind Lightning from the Emei Sect." 
The moment Ye Weiming heard his name, he knew that this was a player. However, were there male disciples in the Emei Sect? Ye Weiming expressed that he had never seen any male disciples there before.
Swordsman Wind Lightning seemed to notice the astonishment on Ye Weiming's face. He explained helplessly, "Many people think that the Emei Sect only takes in female disciples but they have male disciples too. However, the founder of the Emei Sect is a female so the kung fu she passed down is more suitable for females to master. Under normal circumstances, male players won't enter the Emei Sect. The sect isn't a good choice for them."
"Then you…"
"I came for the miscellaneous skills." Swordsman Wind Lightning smiled lightly and continued, "In the Emei Sect, the male disciples are in charge of all the miscellaneous works. Thus, many teachers can teach us. Your clan doesn't have homework?
March: …
Youyou: …
Yin Bukui: …
Xuan Small Pen…
Bury Moon: I XXX, You XXX…
Ye Weiming placed Bury Moon on his blacklist again when he cursed at him. Then, he summarized all the information his friends gave. 
If you want to increase your Intelligence, you need to study. You want to increase your Intelligence? I'm sorry, I want to increase my Intelligence too!
Ye Weiming arrived at the private school of Bian Liang City. He realized that all the books here had a price tagged to them.
Book of Family Names: 100 Gold!
Standards for Being a Good Student: 300 Gold!
Three-Character Classic: 300 Gold!
Li Went Rhyme: 400 Gold!
…
…
Thousand-Character Classic: 1000 Gold!
The Great Learning: 2000 Gold!
The Doctrine of the Mean: 3000 Gold!
The Analects of Confucius: 4000 Gold!
Mencius: 5000 Gold!
The classic of Poetry…
…
When he saw the price of these classics, Ye Weiming looked at the pitiful 20 Gold he had in his bag. He felt that his mood was turning for the worst.
The Book of Family Names was 100 Gold and the Thousand-Character Classic was 1000 Gold. Did this mean that their books here were priced using the number of words?
That means that each word was 1 Gold!
Who said that the poor study while the rich learn martial arts? Who? Come forward! I promise that I won't beat you to death!


Ye Weiming, a smart and clear-headed young man, enters the game 'Eternal Justice' and gets 'fooled' into becoming a constable of the Divine Constable Bureau. Armed with the unique skill of finding clues through post-mortem and on-site investigation, his attributes rise quickly and he becomes one of the top martial arts master in this pugilistic game world. However, to maintain his position, more challenging missions await him...

As I walk into the witch looking shack, I found myself inside of a big humongous place which isn't like the outside appearances. "WOW!! Amazing... this place is like a library! Is this a space magic I saw on the manga I watch!?" said Arial excitedly.

 The shack Arial and Emily go in, is not a normal shack you see around. The inside of this building is something that you cannot compare, a desk full of books and there are soo many books that you can call this place a library, it is 5 floors for everything you need and this place atmosphere have a calming effect, that you can probably got asleep by it. As they both walk across the stairs to the 2 floor, Arial found himself into a research lab full with many magical stuff and even some chemical also stuff that you can found on the real world.

 "This place is AMAZING!!! But I still don't get it, I assume you are caught by someone and are made into a slave seeing that collar on your neck. But, how come that happen if you are this good with magic?"ask Arial to Emily.
As Emily explained Arial that she is tricked by someone she trust, and got her magic power sealed in the process of her becoming a slave. She is lucky enough that her emergency magic relic doesn't get spotted by the slavery and managed to get out with that relic but got notice by that big fat slavery and so on... 

 Arial then feel sorry for her, but quickly changes the topic about her teaching him magic to make the sad atmosphere gone.

 "Ahhemm... So, first let's see what kind of aptitude you got with the elements. As you know, the element consist of 6 basic element fire, water, air, earth, light, and dark. But, in this world from the basic elements comes many more elements that are created, for examples metal, mud, lava, sound, magnetic, and many others elements. The elements that have been discovered is just a little piece from many other elements" explained Emily.

Emily then see Arial in a strange way and swiftly cast a spell that make her eyes green, she stare at him for quiet a while and stop the spell with a suprising expression. 

 "Emm? So.... how do i know what elements I have aptitude with? Is it that classic way to channel my magic power to a stone, or do you just need to appraisal me?" ask him, "Oh! Well, actually the only way to know your element for the first time is by killing the right type of monsters that suitable to your element, then absorb and recognize the monster element. And the better starter monster you kill the better your starter aptitude will be, for example fire-type wyvern as a fire element starter will be a good start then killing a fire-type chicken." explained Emily.

 "Quite an interesting way to know and get your element aptitudes, but doesn't this mean there are loop hole that you can take to get a good start. Like if a "nobel" kid and his top tier guards help the him by attacking a high tier monster for the kid to finish it with a last hit?" ask him, "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. For the element to get absorb completely and succesfully, you need to atleast damage the monster 80% of its health if you are on a team. the higher the percentage won't increase the power even if you kill it 100%, you only need to damage it 80% more then others to get the element and to know how many damage percentage you deal, can be done by using a wrist band that tell you the percentage" she explain.

 "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go hunt some monsters!" screamed Arial, "Do you even know where do you need to go? Erghh... Come on, follow me!" 
she said and add "Oh, and before we go anywhere put this ring on" ask her.

 As Emily lead the way to a some kind of room with a enchanted magic drawing on the floor, she bite her finger and quickly bit Arial finger too without explaining anything, then drop the blood into the floor and cast a spell that teleport them into a different kind of scenery then the dark forest they just been a moment ago. It is a cold and dark mountain, with a huge and raging blizzard surrounding the environment.

 "Emily... Can I ask you a question my lady" he said with a blank expression, "ya, what?"she ask." "WHERE THE HECK ARE WE!!??"

====================================

*WARNING!!! I just make this novel for fun as this is my first novel I ever write, and it is most likely that the chapters is going to come sooo late, low-quality writing and short. Sorry about that and deal with it*

====================================

"Anping No. 3 High School has a regular score of 221 points. For additional points, shoot the barbarian leader and score 500 points. The total score ... 721 points!"

"Congratulations to Anping No. 3 High School for winning the championship in this three-city competition!"

When the head referee shouted these words with all his strength, the entire headquarters was instantly boiling.

The audience in front of the TV was also dumb!

Tang Xiao is also completely stupid!

Li Xinyu and Ming Jiajia rushed to hug Zhong Yihan, Yang Yuan and Du Tianqing followed them and hugged everyone together!

In other schools, except for a few students in Tai'an No. 2 High School, who smiled bitterly, whether they were Yazun or Yucai, all the students rushed to Zhong Yihan, surrounded him, and cheered.

Ying Nanyan and Yan Yan held hands and laughed while cheering.

Lu Wu and Zhang Shou hugged each other, and then they were rushed over by the county head Zhang Mingrui, holding them and laughing.

Mayor Luo Hao held out a handful of champagne, opened it, and sprayed it on Mo Kaiyuan and others.

The others gathered around Zhong Yihan and cheered loudly.

The barrage on the live broadcast exploded completely.

[what's the situation? !! How is No. 1 in Anping No. 3 High School?]

[what happened? Oh my god!]

[Additional points! Extra points! Long live Han brother! ]

[Additional points! For the first time in the history of the three cities competition!]

[Classic game! National Classic!]

The referees had long been prepared. At this time, a shot appeared on the live broadcast screen.

Tang Xiao was carrying a totem pole and bypassing the ridge. Yan Yan and others sat on the ground and yelled.

The audience in front of the TV knew that at this time the live broadcast was cut to the shot of Tang Xiao, and the next shot was that Tang Xiao inserted a flag and hit a gong.

But at this time, what happened to Zhong Yihan?

The picture gave Zhong Yihan, and when he saw he smiled, a little pride appeared in his eyes, and said, "Let me try it myself!"

Yan Yan was shocked: "You want to kill the leader alone ?!"

Zhong Yihan lifted his big bow and said, "This is the only way!"

After speaking, he rushed towards the barbaric leader in the distance.

At this time, the screen switched. Tang Xiao carried the totem pole, climbed to the top of the mountain, and smirked and said to himself: "What Yazun, what Yucai, and what Zhong Yihan! Are stepping stones for me! In the competition, I made a comeback and put my name on the books! "

The picture was cut back again and was given to Zhong Yihan.

He had rushed to a distance of 100 meters from the leader of the barbarians and turned his bow and arrow, and it turned out that four feather arrows were held in his hand at the same time!

"Oh!"

The four feather arrows shot at the leader of the barbarians!

The audience in front of the TV set climaxed instantly.

Four consecutive shots? !!

Turns out to be four arrows? !!

Oh my gosh, the previous three arrows were not Zhong Yihan's limit? !!

Few people can control these four arrows in three cities !!

The four arrows shoot together, the interval between each arrow was less than 0.5 seconds, and the four arrows turned on four different parts of the barbarian leader!

The barbarian leader is extremely powerful, and its strength is almost equivalent to the human fighter realm, so the reaction speed is extremely fast, and it raises hand and blocks an arrow.

However, the other three arrows hit its body accurately.

One of the arrows shot straight into its right eye!

The barbarian leader uttered a scream of horror. The two arrows that hit the body are no serious injuries to the thick and thick skin, but the eyes of any creature are inherently fragile.

At this time, after Zhong Yihan fired the four arrows, he even threw the bow and arrow, jumped directly from the big pit, and rushed towards the leader of the barbarians!

For almost a few breaths, Zhong Yihan came to the barbarian leader.

The barbarian leader was pulling out the arrow in its eyes at this time. When he saw Zhong Yihan rushing to it, it immediately threw the arrow at him.

Zhong Yihan slipped on the spot, avoiding this arrow, and slid across the leader's right leg while sliding!

The barbarian leader was thick and thick. Although this knife failed to split its leg, it also gave it a bad wound, making the leader have to scream and squat down.

But the barbarian leader was also fierce, and the moment it squatted, it smashed a punch at Zhong Yihan!

The height of it is 2.5 meters, which is really a real "casserole fist".

Zhong Yihan rolled away on the spot, and the leader smashed into the ground, smashing the mountain into a large pit.

Zhong Yihan rolled to the side, bounced from the ground, then rushed back towards the leader, again, and looked at its other supporting leg.

The leader patted him with a slap but was evaded by Zhong Yihan's moving step, and at the same time, he slashed across it.

Although he failed to hit the support leg, he also split a deep scar, and the blood flow continued.

The barbarian leader roared and kicked a sweeping leg. This time, Yihan couldn't hide. He struck the leg heavily, was kicked and flew out, and flew straight for a distance of five or six meters before falling to the ground The internal organs that fell were all upside down.

Zhong Yihan spits out his blood and stood up forcibly. This little injury was nothing to him.

In fact, he had successfully attacked with four arrows before, hurt the leader's leg, and cut an extra knife, which has already achieved very impressive results.

If he continues to fight steadily, in less than ten minutes, he can brutalize the barbarian leader to death.

However, at this time, Tang Xiao was about the last mile away from the end.

He didn't have more than ten minutes to waste!

So Zhong Yihan gritted his teeth fiercely and rushed up again. This time, he slammed his head and slashed on the fist that the leader smashed!

Fortunately, the thunder knife method came into play at this moment.

The barbarian leader uttered a terrible scream, half of its fist was cut by the sword.

But the fist is too hard, and the power is huge. Zhong Yihan's special alloy Tang knife can not withstand this impact, and it is broken into two pieces!

Zhong Yihan didn't hesitate, holding a broken knife, and used moving step, passed between the legs of the barbarian leader, and came behind it.

At this moment, the entire back of the barbarian leader was completely exposed in front of Zhong Yihan's eyes!

Zhong Yihan gave a loud shout, kicked on the squatting leg of the leader, jumped high, and descended from the air with a half-cut knife in his hand, fiercely inserted into the head of the barbarian leader!

The barbarian leader made a terrible scream, fell heavily to the ground, and after a few twitches, it never moved again.

Zhong Yihan rode on the neck of the barbarian leader and then exhaled a long breath.

And ten seconds later ...

On the top of the mountain in the distance, a crisp gong sounded ...

Heaven and Earth Change, Energy Revival
The purple moon is in the sky, the two worlds merge
This is an era when only those who learn Kung Fu can stand on the top
Zhong Yihan obtained the "Supermall System", and with his own hard work, he became stronger step by step in this era.
Finally...
Kung Fu Beyond the World!

The next days kept going like usually, Sam would wake up go to the designing school to train in the morning and go home to train his singing voice in the afternoon, the second round was incoming soon and he could slack off.

Before the second round though there was still the catwalk, after lots of training and time spent with Rena to think about the design of her outfit it was finally the day.

Rena had one advantage that her classmate didn't have, her model helper her think about the outfit while all her classmates hadn't even met their models, all they had been given was a piece of paper with all their measurements on it.

The outfit they had put so much effort on was finalized the day before the catwalk, Rena was barely on time as she wanted it to look perfect. 

The outfit was made of four pieces :

A black jacket similar to a Chinese tangzhuang reaching to Sam's knees that had an opening on the middle.

A very simple white shirt underneath the jacket.

A pair of light white pants reaching to his ankles.

And finally a pair of suede classic shoes.

(Author note : I'm talking about the kind of classic shoes your wear with a suit, i tried writing "suede classic shoes" on google and it doesn't look like what I'm describing and of course suede is the material.)

Everything was ready and already worn by a plastic mannequin in the class room, not only Rena's outfit but all her classmate's too were there, Rena's one didn't look the best there but it was definitely among the top three, she was a really talented girl.

/
/
/

The next day, all the models were sitting in an adjacent room to the meeting hall they had arranged to look like a catwalk platform with the spectators stands and stuff, in front of the           podium were sitting 3 women and a man, each one holding a list of every model and the person who did the clothes.

Other than them all the school's teachers, some students and a few random people came to spectate, the students designers were also sitting there so that they can see their creation being worn.

In the models room, Sam had his make up and hairstyle done by Rena, his hair was now silver grey and fell on his eyebrows in a kind of messy haircut, his make up was very light and except some eyeliner to make his eyes more attractive and a bit of lipstick the rest was almost invisible.

The rest of the models all knew each other as they came from the same agency, the only one that didn't was Sam so most of them looked at him, after awhile a guy stood up and walked in front of him, Sam raised his head from his phone and looked at the guy.

He wasn't that handsome but had an outlined jawline and a good height, often it was enough to become a model, of course you had to have that thing that made you unique

« Who are you ? »

He asked Sam without any hint of sympathy

« Hello ? You should learn civility. »

Of course Sam wouldn't be sympathetic to a guy that didn't respect him.

« This contest is for the student of my school to showcase our appearance and ability, this isn't a place for you, you better leave fast. »

When they heard him say that, another two guys stood up and came behind him, they were obviously looking for trouble.

« Or else what ? »

Sam also stood up, since he got the system he completely refused to be bullied again, even if the world champion of boxing came at him he would just buy enough boxing skill books to beat him at his own game.

The guy looked at his friends and all of them smiled, they obviously orchestrated the scene and Sam didn't miss the hints

'What are they planning to do ? It can't be anything over the top so I'll play along, maybe I can reverse it to my advantage.'

« Of course you should know how the contest is going to happen right ? The outfits and the models will have a separate grade, how about making a bet on the grades ? Of course you can't refuse or we'll throw you out. »

'Do they think that because there are three of them they can take me on ? Let's see what kind of bet he's talking about though.'

« Tell me. »

« Hahaha i'm happy you accepted my offer, very simple : I saw you driving that Yamaha bike when you came here, how about betting that ? »

« Have you ever heard of a one sided bet ? What is it you are betting ? »

'They were after his bike, of course it was a beautiful machine so it wasn't weird for someone to feel jealous.´

« Whatever you want of similar value. »

« That Porsche you were smoking on earlier was yours ? Let's bet that. »

« My Porsche is worth at least 20k€ on retail, think of something else. »

« My Yamaha is worth 15k€ on retail, isn't this what you call similar value ? »

Hearing that the guy seemed to hesitate then a guy from behind him said 

« Yo Jimmy, you won't lose anyway we already know that this guy has only been training for one month. »

Hearing that the other guy finally lost his hesitation and replied

« Deal, the one who get the best grade got to keep both the bets stacks. »

'Hahah they did a background check ? No matter what you do you can't win against me, a background check would never let you know that I have the system that makes me unbeatable.´

/
/
/

Soon the guys left and sat back on their seats waiting for the beginning of the show, from Sam's seat he could see how excited they were, they didn't stop speaking or laughing even one second. Meanwhile everybody else in the room that heard the conversation were looking at Sam with pity, in their opinion this guy had just lost a very expensive bike, they also thought that if this guy could bet his bike so easily he must be very rich so they didn't pity him that much either.

A few amongst them had made the link between this guy and the one that was on the first episode of « la France a un incroyable talent » but didn't say anything, they didn't think it was important at the moment, the rest didn't recognize him for two reasons, first was that the episode was diffused two weeks earlier and the second reason was that Sam had make up on and a completely different haircut that made him more handsome than the guy on TV, after seeing himself with this new haircut he was even thinking of keeping it.

While everybody was busy with their own things Sam opened the shop, he didn't want to waste his EV's on catwalk skill books since he could learn it pretty easily and that he didn't have any way to have EV except wait for them to accumulate for now but now that his bike was on stack he bought both level one and level two books right away, he erased all the chances of losing and made it so that the chances of winning that Porsche car were at a hundred percent.

Sam and his little sister live alone but his life is already hard enough trying to end his studies and give her the best life possible while facing bullies and financial issues. This is when he acquires the choice system which from time to time give him the choice between two skills or attributes.

If someone likes my work and can do me a better cover than the one I did myself for free I’ll take it thankfully haha

Pain. All she felt was pain.

It seared in her bones and through her mind, not like the dull throb of a bruise, but rather the clear cuts of shattered glass. Every tendril of agony reached out and embraced her as countless images and thoughts passed through her sights.

[Host is recognized to be in a critical psychological state. As a preventative measure, memories have been sealed.]

Even through the haze of pain, the strange voice was calming, soothing and mechanical.

Like the receding tide, the flood of pain subsided. The blissful feeling of peace relaxed her contorted expression, and she fell back against the coarse linen pillows.

"Sister! Sister!" A young voice shook her worriedly. Wiping away the tears, Lorelei took in the sight of her 'sister'.

She felt her stomach drop as she looked at that bubbly and immature face darkened with worry. A knife seemed to screw inside her gut, but she couldn't put her finger on the origin, and the feeling went away.

Lorelei knew this person. So deeply ingrained was the memory that even the system couldn't stop the damage it caused.

"Who?" The feverish Lorelei croaked; her voice parched from dehydration. "Who am I?"

The thirteen-year-old girl in front of her was dressed in strange attire. The air around her was unfamiliar. It felt strange and foreign, despite Lorelei not even knowing what home felt like.

[Sealed memories have been filtered and are ready to be redistributed.]

Before the girl could respond, a trickle of information came to Lorelei.

She was Lorelei, a high school student from the 21st century with an obsession with books and the written world. It was her form of escape. She didn't know what from. Lorelei only knew that in her time, she had read countless popular works of both fiction and non-fiction.

Lorelei started to shake, and tears poured from her eyes.

She didn't want this. She knew she didn't want to go back, but she didn't want to go further. Lorelei was too familiar with this. She knew the struggles of a classic protagonist. It wasn't smooth sailing. She didn't want it.

"I can escape. I can run away. I can find a place to hole up and read books. That sounds nice."

Run away. She had always dealt with her problems that way. She didn't dare escape physically, but she had her books to steal her away to magical places. There, she could be whoever she wanted to be and forget for a moment about the cruel world.

"Sister, it's okay. I'm here." Lorelei felt a soft hand hold her own, and her shaking stopped, a buried memory rearing its head.

Guilt and fear. Regret.

"Mercy." Lorelei reached up and stroked the girl's face, seemingly reliving a tragedy. Sorrow nested in her eyes.

"Yep, sis, I'm Mercedes. You need to calm down. Your fever is almost cured, just lay down and rest." A confident and brave smile lit up her face, and a twinkle deep within couldn't be hidden.

Her younger sister. Lorelei felt her shocked soul anchor slightly, and she knew immediately that running away wasn't an option. She would go through hell and high heaven, but she wouldn't let her sister leave her this time.

This time?

Lorelei furrowed her brows. It was on the tip of her tongue, so close yet so far away.

"I'll fetch tea!" Mercy remembered, and bounded off like a young doe out of the small bedroom.

Lorelei took a deep breath, and closed her eyes, sorting through the memories of her current situation. When she found them, she summoned them to the forefront of her mind, and recited them slowly, reinforcing the information.

She could only recall the most basic autobiographical stuff. She was Lorelei, a young maiden whose parents passed away, leaving a bookstore for the two siblings to manage. She could only glean further information by recalling the books she had read in this world.

"Transmigration, it seems, and with a system no less." Lorelei gave a helpless smile, sitting herself up. "The Holy Garden Continent, Amaryllis Empire. Filled with every classic cultivator trope, but based more on a magical system. Books seem to be a commodity, a sign of wealth, so my parents probably weren't that poor, considering they ran a bookstore."

Without a printing press, books had to be reproduced by hand, which takes both time and skill. Many commoners could go their whole lives without so much as looking at a book. This also made it harder for commoners to become cultivators, as cultivation techniques and battle skills are in written form.

That's right, in this world, anyone has the talent to become a cultivator.

This world didn't have a universal energy that converted to different forms, unlike classic magic systems. Rather, the energy took different forms depending on the matter it flows through.

It would be impossible to cultivate Fire Magic without a source of said fire. In addition, this world had much more versatility. Inside a flame, there existed many types of magic to be cultivated, including Blaze Magic, Scorch Magic, and Searing Ignition Magic. Each magic-type varied in quality, strength, and properties.

That's why cultivation techniques are so important. They allow you to target and isolate particular magic types easier, allowing for faster and higher quality cultivation.

If cultivation techniques outlined how to absorb magic, battle skills covered the methods to release. Each magic type had countless different applications. Battle skills are specifically designed methods to channel these applications.

"The people who can create cultivation techniques and battle skills are held in high esteem by every cultivator. For many, they are untouchable positions."

In the Amaryllis Empire, the emperor poured funds and taxes into the Academy, for no reason but for the number of esteemed teachers the Academy possesses able to create these works and teach them to students. The Academy and Empire, though technically independent, formed a symbiotic relationship.

The emperor provides funds for the professor's various studies, and the professors will in turn nurture cultivators to enhance the Empire's military capability.

"In a book I read, the Academy's library is one of the most complete research spaces in all of the Empire."

Lorelei, however, found the Academy rather lacking in her opinion, for one single reason.

There are no novels!

Non-fiction is the prevailing genre in the Amaryllis Empire. Power is everything, and knowledge is power. For that reason, books are respected. Novels for entertainment and pleasure, on the other hand, are practically unheard of.

"Oh, the travesty!" Lorelei clenched her fist. Despite her missing memories, one thing was undeniable, and that was her allegiance to the art of fiction!

Mercy came back in with a tray of tea, setting it down on the bedside table. Lorelei picked up the hot tea and began to sip, savoring the flavor.

"Mercy, could you bring me a book to read? One that I haven't already?" Lorelei wanted a moment of peace to drink tea and read.

"Sis, you must be joking. What book do we have that you haven't read? Besides, we currently don't have any books in stock!"

Lorelei looked at Mercedes in surprise. "We are a bookstore without books?"

Were they stolen, pillaged or burnt? Is this the classic protagonist revenge instigator in transmigration novels? No, that can't be right. If that were so, Mercedes would at least have a look of indignation on her face.

"Sister, you must've forgotten!" The young girl smiled. "A young noble came in not too long ago and bought out our stock, allowing me to buy your medicine! It's understandable though, considering that you were at the peak of your fever!"

Lorelei sighed in relief. Revenge was way too troublesome.

"Do we have any magic crystals left?"

Magic crystals are the only currency in the Amaryllis Empire. They are the crystallization of magic in it's most pure form and can be used to store magic types for easier cultivation, making them a useful utility as well as currency.

"Yes, we do! Even though your symptoms were bad, the medicine from the Alchemy Tower is rather cheap in comparison!"

Comparison. That was the golden word. Lorelei had little doubt it would've cost all of their inheritance, as well as dug deep into the funds from selling the books.

Mercy rushed out and soon returned with a large sack of gems. They were clear like glass but had structural integrity comparable to stainless steel. They weren't easily damageable without attempting to, yet couldn't be considered tough either.

"Mercy, how many books did we sell previously?"

"Hmm? I'd say upwards of fifty, but no more than sixty!"

Lorelei paused thoughtfully when looking at the large sack.

"According to the System, I should be able to exchange these?"

[Indeed. However, some crystals are purer than others. These crystals have a purity of approximately 10%, making it a ten to one point conversion rate! Would host like to absorb: 1210 crystals, or 121 points?]

"No. Absorb 1000 crystals."

Lorelei still needed some crystals for other uses, and couldn't afford to exchange them all. From what she could see, one crystal was equivalent to a single dollar in her previous world. Going off Mercy's approximation of fifty sold books, that would mean each book would sell for upwards of twenty crystals.

[Exchanging 1000 crystals for 100 points!]

Mercy watched in astonishment as the crystals began to liquefy into a white stream, and pour into Lorelei's body.

"Sis, what's happening?"

"I'm beginning my journey of a lazy yet fulfilling lifestyle as a transmigrator!" The words flew right over the young girl's head, but she nodded anyway. Sis read much more books than her, so she trusted her a lot.

Lorelei didn't feel any form of distrust towards the girl. In every way shape and form, in the core of her soul, Lorelei knew this was her sister. It didn't matter if it was a different world.

"I should start by creating a cultivation technique so I can improve my power and defense capabilities."

That was Lorelei's deepest instinct, not only to protect herself at all costs but also her sister. A safe environment was going to be the cornerstone of a happy life. Her sister would never come to harm again so long as she lived.

Wait, why 'again'?

Lorelei started feeling sick again and had trouble fighting it off. Her body was still fragile from the high fever, but it seemed to have recovered ever since she transmigrated. She felt healthy, so why?

This wasn't a physical sick, but a sick she felt in her spirit.

In Blue Star, in the French Empire, in Tesla Town.
An apocalyptic disaster affecting the whole world is also unfolding in this remote town.
"Help! Somebody help me! "
"oh my god! This is how to return a responsibility! Don't bite me! "
"Don't ... you don't come here! !"
Lin Ze sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the noise outside, just like dull, motionless, only the cold sweat on his head shows how scared and flustered he is at the moment.
As an overseas student who came across the sea to study in the French Empire, Lin Ze never expected his life to go to death under such circumstances.
Just a few days ago, without warning or prediction, a natural disaster called the end came.
In a few days, disasters continued all over the world. Tsunami, tornado, and hurricane, the planet that nurtured billions of human beings, suddenly changed from loving elders to furious demons.
In the face of nature, human beings have become extremely vulnerable. There is no other way but to pray and cry.
But when everyone thought this was a global natural disaster, something even more terrible happened.
The real end of time has come.
The blue star's sky broke several cracks in space, and countless monsters came to the planet.
The ferocious zerg, violent zombies, bloodthirsty demons ....
All kinds of monsters appeared in Blue Star, making this peaceful planet a bloody slaughterhouse, while human beings became the targets of these monsters' wanton slaughter.
One day, the world changed completely.
Humans have fallen from the top of the food chain on this planet, becoming a race that can only struggle to survive.
Lin Ze is just an ordinary college student. His hometown is far across the ocean from another continent. He also has friends and young girls he adores.
So, in the face of this sudden one day, Lin Ze also felt panic, he trembled to close all doors and windows, as far as possible to get some sense of security.
"What should I do?"
"How can mankind resist?"
"How do you survive next?"
Lin Ze clasped his knees tightly and his mind was in chaos.
And in his confusion and panic moment, suddenly in his mind [om], then, a crisp voice:
"The doomsday is coming. a suitable host has been found. are you willing to bound to the Summoning Brochure of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers?"
"What is the situation?"
Originally in a state of chaos, Lin Ze was awakened by the sound in his mind.
Summoning Brochure of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers?
What is this?
Lin Ze is no stranger to the Classic of Mountains and Rivers. In his hometown of Ancient Tang Dynasty, the Classic of Mountains and Rivers is a very famous ancient book.
It records all kinds of animals, plants, mountains and rivers, myths, and so on, which can be described as all-encompassing.
One of Lin Ze's favorite books, when he was a child, was the Classic of Mountains and Rivers, in which he would find illustrations and monsters and he would read it over and over again.
However, the Classic of Mountains and Rivers is always a book. how can it make a sound in its own mind?
Accompanied by the doubts in Lin Ze's mind, the previous voice rang out again: "Is the Classic of Mountains and Rivers Brochure in line with the requirements?"
Cold, no feelings of a mechanical voice rang out from Lin Ze's mind again, he didn't react.
If it is usual, Lin Ze may suspect that he has mental problems and hallucinations, but at the moment there are all kinds of monsters in the world, and the world cannot be defined from common sense.
Therefore, Lin Ze did not doubt the authenticity of the voice in his mind anymore. The sudden appearance of the mountain and sea sutra Sommoning Brochure may become the key to his survival.
He immediately said, "I agree to bind! Agree to bind! "
The words sound just fell and the voice in my mind rang again.
"Host binding is successful. Congratulations on obtaining Sommoning Brochure of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers. After meeting the conditions, you can call the fierce beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers to fight for you!"
Lin Ze was in a trance, then there appeared a line of suspended golden ancient prose.
Summoning Brochure, the Classic of Mountains and Rivers:
Status: Not Open
Fierce beast: 0
Weapon: 0
Unlocking Achievements: None
Number of extractions: 1
Looking at the difference between the front and the game interface, Lin Ze was surprised.
As a college student, Lin Ze's concept that he has adhered to for so many years has been completely overturned in recent days.
Fierce beasts? Weapons? The number of extractions is shown as 1?
Does it mean that you can have a chance to draw a lucky draw, and the target of drawing is all kinds of fierce beasts in the mountain and sea scriptures?
If you can extract super fierce beasts like [Candle dragon], then Lin Ze will not have to be afraid of any more monsters in the end.
According to the Classic of Mountains and Rivers, Candle dragon is the God of Zhong Shan, named Yin Candle, which is regarded as day, night in the dark, winter in the wind, and summer in the wind. Don't drink, don't eat, don't stop, breathe for the wind. It is thousands of miles in length and is on a mountain without opening.
Just imagine, such fierce beasts at the level of dragon ancestors simply exist at the level of Creator.
If you can call Candle dragon which at the high level of fierce beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers, you can eliminate tens of thousands of monsters zombies, completely effortless.
This Summoning Brochure may really become the key to survival!
Lin Ze looked at the manual interface in front of him, and his heart gradually grew up with courage and more expectations for the future.
"Choose a lucky draw!"
Lin Ze followed the voice in his mind and said the lottery.
Then, the scene before Lin Ze suddenly began to change, and a colorful book appeared in front of him.
Countless rare animals, mountains and rivers, ancient myths, have become a reality, in front of his eyes set off a storm.
These pictures are not known to be true or illusion, just like countless needles stuck into Lin Ze's mind. Just when Lin Ze's endurance was reaching its limit, all the pictures disappeared, the pages of the Shanhaijing stopped turning and then stayed on one page.
There is a lofty mountain above, and at the top of the mountain, a fox with nine tails is sucking and spitting at the moon in the night sky.
Nine-tailed fox!
It is recorded in the mountain and sea scriptures that there are animals in Qingqiu mountain. They are like foxes with nine tails. Their sounds are like babies. They can eat people and those preys are obsessed with Nine-tailed foxes.
This is the kind of nine-tailed fox.
Moreover, the image of the nine-tailed fox has been widely used in many myths and legends of later generations, representing goblins with high power.
Lin Ze's heart some expectations, such a fierce beast, should be able to let him some self-preservation ability.
[Congratulations to the host, the second-level fierce beast in the mountain and sea sutra, the nine-tailed fox. ]
Sure enough, the mechanical voice rang out in Lin Ze's mind again. The fierce beast in the picture was exactly the same as he guessed. It was the nine-tailed fox that often appeared in various legends!
Lin Ze was ecstatic in his heart, but before he could scream, he felt dizzy and fell into a coma.
[Readers who like this book, you can rest assured to invest and follow it. I will update it steadily and ensure its quality]

When the end of the world came, monsters invaded, and human beings fell into the bottom of the food chain, becoming food rations for monsters and zombies. Lin Ze, who was in danger, received the Classic of Mountains and Rivers and was able to call out the fierce beasts in it to fight for himself. Since then, the most terrible mythical fierce beast legion in the last days was born. . . . .

Anger Interferer: used against someone other than the user. After activation, the target will enter a state of anger, having a higher chance of making bad choices. Lasted for fifteen minutes.
Super Accelerator: affects the user. Upon activation, work efficiency is increased to triple normal, lasts for eight hours. After use, the user will need to sleep for ten hours to relieve fatigue. Should be used at most once every three days, otherwise there might be consequences!
"Super Accelerator? Not bad. I could probably use it when I'm behind on work. But what use does this Anger Interferer have? Can I make someone beat me up by making them angry, then extort them for money?...
"Whatever, I'll save it for now..."
Chen Mo didn't have any current need for these special items, but drawing a bunch of Memory Playback Potions was a lifesaver. He wouldn't need to strain himself like he did last time in the future.
He didn't want to bother with the Designer Skill Books, and consumed them one after another.
After consuming them, Chen Mo estimated that his coding and level design skills that were quite weak before were now around seventy, and his system skills were probably around ninety.
His plot writing skills were even higher, and probably almost maxed!
Of course, these numbers were Chen Mo's assessment of himself, there weren't any concrete numbers.
------
As he consumed his last Plot Writing book, there was a pop-up on the screen! The system detects that your Plot Writing skills are maxed out. Would you like to enter the next level?
Chen Mo was shocked. -What is this?-
He clicked on the confirm button. Another pop up appeared: Entered the second level, now ready.
There was another line of small print at the bottom: Maxing out the first level of Plot Writing means that you still need to satisfy the needs of plot writing in games. Please continue to work hard!
Chen Mo read over the sentence three times and finally got a vague idea of what it meant.
"I think the one responsible for the writing in the system must've been drunk..." he muttered. 
This sentence actually meant that Chen Mo's Story Writing skills were full for the first level, which was only enough for the plots of simpler games.
For example, Chen Mo might want to make a visual novel. If he already had the vocabulary and the script, he could better fill in the dialogue between characters, and set the scenes better. However, it would be impossible if he wanted to write out the story for a classic game!
The second level of Plot Writing focused on that point.
Chen Mo put his hand to his forehead. "It seems that I was quite naive. The road is much longer than I thought. To think that I believed I could max out all my Stats with ten million RMB…"
---
After regaining his composure, Chen Mo consumed the rest of the Special Skill Books.
Chen Mo's Original Art, 3D Art, and Music and Sound Effects States had now been raised considerably.
As soon as he was done, another pop-up appeared on the virtual screen.
The system detects that you have entered the second level for one or more Stats. You can now view your actual abilities.
Chen Mo was shocked. "Hmm? Did I unlock new functionalities?"
Chen Mo's various Stats now appeared on the virtual screen. Previously, these Stats weren't visible, so Chen Mo had to guess what they were. Now he finally had access to the actual numbers!
Systems: 93
Coding: 72
Level Design: 71
Plot Writing: 100 (Entered Level 2)
Original Art: 53
3D Art: 35
Animation: 10
Music and Audio Effects: 20
Storyboarding: 13
These numbers were Chen Mo's true abilities, including what Chen Mo learned in his previous life, and the growth from the books he had consumed from the bracelet.
The stats from the Game Engine on Chen Mo were as so:
Chen Mo: Videogame Designer (C-grade)
Creativity: 49
Systems: 30
Coding: 48
Level Designer: 53
Plot Writing: 15
Original Art: 36
3D Art: 1
Monthly Resources Quota: 0/1.6GB
These stats were analyzed by the video game engine, which meant the skills that Chen Mo had shown from his work so far.
After releasing Plants vs Zombies, Chen Mo's ratings had increased. His Creativity, Coding, and Level Design had all been increased substantially!
Moreover, following the explosive growth of Plants vs Zombies, Chen Mo had been upgraded to a C-grade video game designer.
As for the monthly quota, it was something that didn't matter anymore to him, as he now scorned the free resources included. However, they were still alright as placeholders.
Chen Mo felt quite relaxed after spending so much money on his top-ups.
Chen Mo now had many choices for his next game, even some Chinese Pay To Win games were now on the list.
However, when there were so many choices it became a burden. Chen Mo couldn't make up his mind that late at night, so he decided to take a rest.
---
At 8:30 AM the second day, Chen Mo was woken up by the ringing of his phone.
As Chen Mo opened his heavy eyelids, he saw that the phone call was from Su Jinyu.
"Hello? What's up? Do you need some leave?" asked Chen Mo.
Su Jinyu said in a worried voice, "No, not at all. You should go online right now. Emperor Dynasty Entertainment are making a game called Guardian of the Holy Spring, and it seems like they copied Plants vs Zombies!"
Chen Mo shuffled around in bed into a more comfortable position, "Yep, I know. Wasn't there a playtest video released two days ago? I saw it yesterday."
Su Jinyu said, "Not just that, the Weibo of the designer of Guardian of the Holy Spring is being attacked by our players. Many fans of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment retaliated, bringing you into the mix! You probably should check your Weibo now."
"Huh?" Chen Mo finally sat up. -How could something like that happen?-
Chen Mo washed himself and went on his computer.
Indeed, his Weibo had been attacked by the fans of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment. He had a few thousand comments under his newest Weibo, with two people in particular having a heated argument.
Chen Mo spent a good twenty minutes trying to understand the gist of the situation.
It had all started from the video Chen Mo saw yesterday.
A player secretly recorded that video when he was playing in the Emperor Dynasty experience store and uploaded it to the internet.
The video had been out for three days, and was discovered by a few diehard fans of Plants vs Zombies. As they had a strong sense of righteousness, they went straight to Qiu Bin, the designer of Guardian of the Holy Spring's Weibo, and started going at him with some intense wording.
======
"Hehe, how could Emperor Dynasty Entertainment miss out on following trends and copying games. Dogs will continue to eat shit."
"Sure enough, a Plants vs Zombies bootleg was released in no time. I'm impressed by the work efficiency of Your Highness."
"Plagiarizing dog. A B-grade video game designer nonetheless. He really is focused on making money in exchange for his dignity!"
======
These comments received a lot of responses, and gained popularity soon after.
Qiu Bin didn't say anything, but as a B-grade videogame designer and one who was working within Emperor Dynasty Entertainment, he had a huge amount of fans behind him, with plenty of brain-dead fans.
Upon seeing that Qiu Bin was being attacked, they retaliated without hesitation!


Chen Mo liked calling himself a video game designer, despite being a mere video game producer.
After dying one day from work-related stress, he transmigrated into a parallel world as himself, right after he graduated. He was now in the body of his younger self, who also aspired to be a video game designer. 
Will he be able to fulfill his dream after being reborn in this oddly different new world, and become the best video game designer in that world?
Follow Chen Mo on his romp through video game classics as he brings the great games of the past to a whole new world in pursuit of his dreams!
Note: This Novel has been continued as a passion project by its translator. The continuation of this novel will not affect the result of Trial Reading or Voting Pool. 

As same as before, the Secret Knowledge Pavilion was composed of 7 storeys. With 8 sides, the pavilion looked like a pagoda while being sheltered in the picturesque mountain scenery. 

It was tranquil in the surroundings except for the rustling sounds of tree leaves swaying in the mountain wind.

The front gate of the Secret Knowledge Pavilion was opened with a screen right inside the gate. After detouring the screen, Zhang Tie arrived at the lobby on the 1st floor. Although the tea tables and stools were still there as orderly as before, the old man who used to drink there disappeared.

Zhang Tie became a bit intense as his heart pounded. He faintly felt as guilty as being a thief when he came to this place in the trouble-reappearance situation.

A staircase behind the lobby led to the 2nd floor, where Zhang Tie had not visited before. Therefore, he wondered what was on the 2nd floor. Previously, when he came here, as long as he told the old man what secret knowledge or battle skill he wanted to exchange with his credit points would the old man draw the rope of the bell beside the tea table and had people sent it downstairs. According to the regulations in Hidden Dragon Palace, all the learners could only learn the secret knowledge in the Mysterious Knowledge Pavilion. There were some tranquil and isolated rooms in the Pavilion. Like those in some libraries, you could learn and bear the contents in the secret knowledge in mind quietly. Besides managing various secret knowledge, the old man could also answer various questions posed by learners here. 

The staircase leading upstairs was clean while being paved with a soft and thick carpet. When Zhang Tie went upstairs, he heard no sound at all.

When Zhang Tie came upstairs, he saw many numbered isolated rooms where learners could study in. Nobody was in the isolated rooms either. 

Previously, Zhang Tie had only exchanged "Fish-like Diving Skill" here. He always read it in a room on the 1st floor. He had not imagined that there were more than 20 isolated rooms on the 2nd floor which were larger than those on the 1st floor.

Zhang Tie then came to the 3rd floor and found similar isolated rooms. Being different from that on the 1st and 2nd floor, the isolated rooms on the 3rd floor were fewer and larger. They were isolated with copper or iron walls. There were huge crystal columns in each isolated room, enabling the energy field in the isolated room very active. Besides, each isolated room was matched with a training cell which contained iron puppets. Additionally, there were living utilities like bedding and washroom in each isolated room. At the sight of these isolated rooms, Zhang Tie knew that they ought to be prepared for learning more advanced mysterious knowledge. 

There were totally 3 isolated rooms on the 4th floor. Compared to the 3rd floor, the furnishings of these isolated rooms were more advanced and firmer than those on the 3rd floor. The floors, walls and steel puppets in these training rooms were made of more advanced alloy. Zhang Tie could see many odd-looking wounds on the steel puppets. Additionally, the isolated rooms on the 4th floor were evenly matched with different labs: one elixir lab, one alchemist's instruments lab and one comprehensive lab.

'After staying in Hidden Dragon Palace for so long, I've not had any chance to experience the quality learning conditions provided for learners upstairs hereby Hidden Dragon Palace.' Zhang Tie felt like crying.

After visiting the 4th floor, Zhang Tie came to the 5th floor. 

Zhang Tie saw an alloy door with an interface of a secret key. There was no keyhole on the door; instead, there was an identification interface through which the special clan identification plate could be read. It seemed to pose a high requirement for the access of the visitor. Zhang Tie blinked his eyes as he attempted to push it; however, the door remained still. Zhang Tie blinked his eyes once again. Closely after that, he was driven furious while that bit of guilty sense had long disappeared in his mind.

'F*ck, this father has been here and you tell me I'm not allowed in?'

"Open it..."

Zhang Tie roared while a terrifying, barbarous strength and powerful Iron-blood Battle Qi turned into a groundbreaking kick.

In a split second, the entire Secret Knowledge Pavilion was like blasting while the boom could almost be heard across the Hidden Dragon Palace.

"F*ck, open it..." "Boom..."

"Open it..." "Boom..."

After roaring about 1 minutes along with the blasting booms, the alloy door finally fell down with another louder boom.

"Pah..." Zhang Tie spat a mouth of saliva forcefully towards the alloy door. Closely after that, he stepped on it and entered the 5th floor of the Secret Knowledge Pavilion.

Zhang Tie saw rows of bookshelves in the entire 5th floor while various secret knowledge were lying there orderly.

Watching such a marvelous scene, Zhang Tie felt a bit dazzled as he thought it was unreal.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie came to the nearest bookshelf and drew out a book by slightly quivering hand. 

Zhang Tie saw the words "Crescent Battle Qi" on the cover of that book. He turned on a new page casually and found it was made of a silver-plate paper which touched very comfortable. The cultivation method of "Crescent Battle Qi" was written in the book.

After putting it back, Zhang Tie drew out another book "Barbarous Ox Battle Qi"...

Then the 3rd book "Fiery Fire Battle Qi"...

...

Zhang Tie rapidly passed by those shelves one after another and saw many classifications: Battle Qis——Battle Skills——Elixirs——Runes——Alchemists' Instruments——Comprehensive——Odd Skills——Others——

In the shelf "Comprehensive", Zhang Tie caught sight of the "Iron-blood Fist" that he cultivated...

In the shelf "Odd Skills", Zhang Tie saw the preliminary, medium and senior "Fish-like Diving Skill".

In the shelf "Others", Zhang Tie saw many books such as "100 Questions about Ancestral Bloodline Learning" and "Secret Knowledge in Taixia Country". Although they weren't any mysterious knowledge, they were more expensive than average books of cultivation.

In the shelf "Elixirs", Zhang Tie saw books such as "Brochure for Apprentice Pharmacist", "Herbs Classic", "ABC of Mysterious Medicine", "Deciphering of Human Genes", "Method of Elixir Manufacture", etc.. 

Among the two items "Runes" and "Alchemist's Instruments", Zhang Tie saw many mysterious knowledge such as "Basic Runes", "Runes Advancement", "Heavens and Ground Corresponding Skill", "Sounds Imitation Skill", "Minerals Identification Skill", "Metallurgical Method", "Forging Method" and "Flames for Mineral Extraction", etc..

The battle skills were further divided into more categories, including various weapons, fist positions, finger attacking skills, feet movements and cultivation mysterious knowledge...

In all the 5 storeys, there were thousands of mysterious books. Zhang Tie felt like entering a dreamland just by looking at so many names.

Many of the mysterious books here were about battle qi, battle skills and various professional basics that were available to people below LV 9. If he was still in Hidden Dragon Palace, he needed to use a lot of clan contribution points to exchange for any of these mysterious books. However, all of them were freely available to Zhang Tie now.

'How fast does the happiness come!' Zhang Tie's heart raced.

After taking a round on the 5th floor, Zhang Tie rushed to the 6th floor.

On the 6th floor, his heart pounded more heavily. 

If the 5th floor was a library, the 6th floor would be an exhibition hall for crystal treasures.

There were all square crystal cabinets which were arranged orderly on the 6th floor. Each crystal cabinet was displaying some sandalwood cases with soft velvet cloths inside. There were mysterious crystal books in different shapes being wrapped with metal on the soft velvet cloths, large or small. Those who had no knowledge about mysterious books would take those mysterious crystal books as ornaments, which were actually advanced mysterious books which could not be cultivated until reaching LV 10.

With a glance, Zhang Tie estimated that there were about 200-300 pieces of mysterious crystal books on the 6th floor. All the deep deposits of Huaiyuan Palace's were displayed here.

Names were written on the sandalwood cases which contained mysterious crystal books for the sake of identification. Zhang Tie took a round on the 6th floor rapidly. After that, he almost cried as the "Robust Ox Skill" which took him great efforts was right here; it was placed in a trivial corner. "Meteor Shower Sword" was even placed ahead of the "Robust Ox Skill". Zhang Tie took the 2 mysterious crystal books out of the cabinets and injected his spiritual energy inside them. He found their contents were as same as that in his own books.

Recalling how many troubles had he experienced when he sought for "Robust Ox Skill", Zhang Tie patted his forehead forcefully, 'Zhang Tie! Zhang Tie! You should have thought about this before! How stupid you are. You've already come to the trouble-reappearance situation for so many times. You have even discovered good items in Wildwolf Valley in the trouble-reappearance situation. How could you forget so many mysterious books in Hidden Dragon Island? How stupid you are! You should not blame others...'

In the most remarkable location in the middle of the cabinets on the 6th floor, Zhang Tie caught sight of "Breaking Sun Sutra". Being different from that which he refused to take from Lan Yunxi, this one was a 60% mysterious book which only contained contents from LV 10 to LV 15. Zhang Tie speculated that this was a trick of Huaiyuan Palace. It was used to encourage clan students and prevent the entire version of "Breaking Sun Sutra" from being exposed to the public. Across Huaiyuan Palace, only a few people could master the entire version of "Breaking Sun Sutra". Even in Hidden Dragon Palace, clan students could not learn the "Breaking Sun Sutra" without gaining enormous clan contribution points. If not real clan elites, nobody was qualified to touch it. 

'What's on the 7th floor?' Zhang Tie took a look there and found it was a people's residence. The faint aroma of tea water on the 7th floor had already indicated who was living there——the old man who guarded this Mysterious Knowledge Pavilion.

After returning to the 6th floor, Zhang Tie had been bothered by a happy problem, 'With so many mysterious books and such a top cultivation condition that numerous people were dreaming about, which mysterious book should I choose to cultivate so as to improve my battle force? It's impossible for me to digest all of them, neither do I have so much time or vigor to do that. So which one is more useful to me?'


After the Catastrophe, every rule in the world was rewritten.
In the Age of Black Iron, steel, iron, steam engines and fighting force became the crux in which human beings depended on to survive.
A commoner boy by the name Zhang Tie was selected by the gods of fortune and was gifted a small tree which could constantly produce various marvelous fruits. At the same time, Zhang Tie was thrown into the flames of war, a three-hundred-year war between humans and demons on the vacant continent. Using crystals to tap into the potentials of the human body, one must cultivate to become stronger.
The thrilling legends of mysterious clans, secrets of Oriental fantasies, numerous treasures and legacies in the underground world — All in the Castle of Black Iron!
Written by Drunk Tiger, this novel is a prime example of fantasy steampunk. Let us journey through the world of limitless possibilities and inventions together!
