"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him.

That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

The Genuine Truth The ancient stories you know — retold with clarity, beauty, and life.

In order to complete her mission in a barely recovered world after catastrophe, Arya decided to pretend to be a child and made trouble all day long. She managed to lurk for a few years when her superior suddenly decided to promote her to become a small group leader. Looking at the few people given to her, Arya was silent. Subordinate 1: so Arya likes cake… then I’ll make a few more for her Arya (blush): I only like it a little bit! And you’re using these cakes to exchange for information! Subordinate 2: When doing mission, how come Arya can change her faces so quickly (from unreliable to reliable)? Dual personality? Arya: …Nonsense! You’re the one who have dual personality! Subordinate 3: Why did you call us cute? As a big man nearly 1,9 meters tall, I don’t think I’m suitable for this adjective. Arya (shocked): I never said that! Damn it, who tarnished my reputation? Subordinate 4: Awww, Arya is so cute…. It’s hard to believe that she’s our leader. Arya: S… Sister, even if you say that, don’t try to pinch my cheek! Seeing their group that looked more like a group of adults taking of children, the other people were speechless. Are you sure that you’re a member of criminal organization? Why does it look like you’re trying to cultivate a group of people into a daddy and mommy experts? When Arya’s mission was finally completed, she chose to run away directly. But someone caught her and brought her favorite cake in front of her. “Don’t you want to taste it~?” Arya blushed. “You’re too foul!” ... Note: it's not harem nor reverse harem. It's 1vs1 from the beginning to the end. ...
