"Hey, long time no see."
It was Qiu Yuan.
She was no longer the naughty girl she used to be. She now looked more matured and composed. A dark light, which was linked to the mist, was glowing on her hand. She was carrying a black-crystal long spear on her back. It was no surprise if others mistook her for a female Warrior or Knight. It was uncommon to see a Priest with a spear.
"Qiu Yuan… Long time no see." Lin Jie did not expect to meet Qiu Yuan here. Ever since she had left Savage Blade, she had blocked all communication and trained alone. Lin Jie could not even help her.
Qiu Yuan was an additional damage-type of Dark Priest that mainly focused on her own Dark Damage with weapon bonus. It was not very easy and required a lot of equipment and skills. 
Although Lin Jie had amazing equipment, his path was still normal.
"I see that you have a hard time now. Here, let me introduce you to my friend." Qiu Yuan did not worry about the danger around them and waved. Another shadow appeared. He was a Mage in a long black robe. He was the Space Mage Zi Mo that he had met in Best Of The Best.
"Little boy, this is Leader Lone Wolf. The guy who beat you last time."
Zi Mo's face twitched. "Please forget that. Leader Lone Wolf, nice to meet you…" He scanned around and asked, "Where is Netherblue? Bu Yi? Charming Smile? Breeze Wind?"
"Behave yourself!" whispered Qiu Yuan.
"Okay, sure." Zi Mo nodded.
Lin Jie stared at her and asked, "How d you know this guy? What if he is a spy?"
Qiu Yuan waved her hand and dismissed the question. "Relax, we'll catch up later. Let's settle the siege for now! We came from the forest over there, and there were about 100,000 enemies there. There was a barrier blocking them right now. It's most likely that the system does not want anyone to attack them yet. Some of them are very powerful."
"For example?"
"Like Skeleton Kodos, Liches and… a wave of Bone Dragons" replied Zi Mo.
"Who's leading them?" asked Lin Jie. He was more concerned about another Player Boss.
"There were three of them. Like Hungry Tiger," said Qiu Yuan.
Lin Jie was silenced. Eighteen Massacres was really determined to get the City of Light this time. He used all the tricks he had.
"We'll talk later." Qiu Yuan took out her long spear and struck the empty air. There was a scream followed by a -697 on the screen.
—Battle prompt message: Player Qiu Yuan dealt 697 points of damage to Void Summoner•Cunning Fox. (Normal Attack: 85, Fire-type damage: 102, Ice-type damage: 95, Lightning-type damage: 85, Dark-type damage: 200, Light-type damage: 130)
Lin Jie was shocked. Cunning Fox had been invisible the whole time!
"Guess I've been away for too long. Don't you know there is a Dark Priest in Savage Blade? Yet you try to use invisibility?" Qiu Yuan held her right hand up, and a dark book was forged.
Book of the Undead Age!
It was a huge book but with only one page inside. There were wordings in ancient language on how old and powerful this book was. Lin Jie had never seen this book before in his previous life, and Qiu Yuan did not own it before either. What was it?
"I control the darkness, and the light will obey me! Light-Darkness Shift!" Qiu Yuan cast a spell, and a wave of energy came out from the spellbook and surrounded Lin Jie, Qiu Yuan, and Cunning Fox!
[Light-Darkness Shift]: You cause the Dark and Light attributes to swap within 5 yards.
Lin Jie suddenly lost his vision, all he could see was darkness, and he was in a void now! That was the effect of this Light-Darkness Shift. The Stealth Mode target would be exposed, and the exposed target would gain Stealth. Cunning Fox was exposed in an instant.
As a Marionest, other than fighting skills, all he had was escape skills. Since he needed to be very careful with his control, he mainly focused on stealth skills to escape.
Cunning Fox was one of the best Marionests. All his skills were the best! His fighting method was to summon a group of clones, and those clones would then control another group of Liches while he remained unseen. Thus, he was very useful in a siege like this!
And now, his stealth skill was useless.
"Dragon Teeth! Fallen Flowers!" Qiu Yuan continued to attack while Cunning Fox was still in shock. Her spear hit his jaw, and he was thrown away by the attack. Qiu Yuan chased after him and smashed on his back, making him remain in mid-air. She used another few attacks from her spear, and Cunning Fox had no chance to fight back at all.
This was the skill Lin Jie used before—Floating Combo!
Unlike Lin Jie, who used brutal strength, Qiu Yuan's combo was possible because of her skills. Her skills were all near-range ones, like Dragon Teeth and Fallen Flower. Dragon Teeth flicked the opponent into mid-air and dealt some damage. It was one of the Priest's skills to use when the opponent was too near. The air time allowed the Priest to run or wait for backup. Fallen Flower could cause a knockback on the opponent. 
Qiu Yuan used these skills into a combo, and Cunning Fox had no idea what happened to him.
"I have no more skills. Lone Wolf, go!" Qiu Yuan yelled. Her skills were too little compared to a melee-fighting class. After her combo, she quickly flicked Cunning Fox towards Lin Jie.
Lin Jie raised his Broken Blade and continued the combo. He used an Army Obliteration and threw Cunning Fox into mid-air again. Lin Jie continued the combo with only normal attacks. What Qiu Yuan did just now was not very perfect, and there were areas to improve on. He demonstrated once to her, hoping that she could learn something from it.
Cunning Fox was super angry! Even though he snuck into this land, at least, he was a Boss now! Now he was being played around like a balloon!
It was a pity that there was no Surrender or Suicide option in the game. Cunning Fox could not use his stealth move or his puppets in this situation. In the end, Cunning Fox was killed without a chance to fight back at all.
Dignity was totally absent in his death—his corpse was full of scars and holes.
Ding~
—'You have killed Void Summoner•Cunning Fox. You received 1,600,000 EXP and a Skill Book [Night Strike].'
After Cunning Fox was dead, three mysterious runes were dropped. They were the items for the Nine Great Techniques! Lin Jie quickly picked up the items. There was nothing else to loot. It seemed like Eighteen Massacres had searched him before.
Lin Jie looked at the skill book. 
[Night Strike] (Debuff skill) It can be used at night or mist. Increase Attack Speed by 30%, an additional 100 Dark-type damage lasting 30 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes.
"Yours." Lin Jie threw the book to Qiu Yuan.
"True." Qiu Yuan received the book without hesitation and used it.
Lin Jie asked, "What's that Book of the Undead Age?" He glanced at Zi Mo and decided not to ask for now. "Nevermind, you can tell me later."
Zi Mo rolled his eyes. It hurt when he was suspected.
"It's okay. Little Zi Mo here helped me get this book," said Qiu Yuan. Her spear penetrated a Lich and tried out her Floating Combo again. "Zi Mo and I joined a team to explore the Skyworm Valley. We found the book, had some arguments, we killed them, and I got the book."
"Erm…" Lin Jie was rendered speechless. Even though she sounded extremely calm, it was not hard to imagine how intense the situation was. Qiu Yuan was not the type who would stab others in the back. Thus, they must have had started the fight first, and Qiu Yuan fought back! Zi Mo was a Space Mage, so they must have cooperated in order to win.
However, Lin Jie did not understand why Zi Mo had helped Qiu Yuan. 
Zi Mo heard Lin Jie's question and replied. "Because she's pretty!"
"That's it?" Lin Jie's eyes wide opened.
"Then?" Zi Mo was a little upset. Why would he be suspected for liking someone who was pretty? Was it wrong of him?
Lin Jie was speechless. He looked at the Book of the Undead Age. It looked like the book Hardworking Pants had! What exactly was it!?

A long time ago, there exists a place called Eden. People live there happily, there was no crime, no sickness, as they are all pure of heart. Their body strong and fit and seemingly immune to any diseases. 

Until one day when the tree of life, which was the heart of Eden and supported it, started decaying. The tree was warship as a god as it not only protected them but is also the reason of why they are immune to any diseases and having a long life. 

As the tree slowly started losing its energy, the people started to fall sick easily and one by one, their lives ended. Until one day, a hero showed out of nowhere and gave the people the water of life. The people took the water and sprinkled it on the tree, slowly the tree started to glow brighter and brighter like the sun and spread the light around Eden.

 As the light touches the ground, flowers bloom all around and the people are cured of their sickness. Glowing with a holy light, Eden look like a true paradise, the people cried and cheered with happiness and wanting to thank the hero they turn to him, but the hero was like the wind as he vanishes. 

The people remember him in their heart and swore to pass the story down to their children, as time pass the story became a legend and became a bedtime story for parents to read to their children.

"And that is how the story ends", said grandpa Sam as he told the story to his grandson Jake. "Where did you get this story from grandpa?" asked Jake. "I made it of course" Sam told his sixteen-year-old grandson. Jake has always been very close to his grandfather then to his parents, as he had spent more time with Sam then his parents as they are always busy with work and Sam was the one who took care of him. 

"This is a story that I made when I was young, look it was even made into a book" Sam showed the book to his grandson. Sam was a novelist who mostly wrote children's and fantasy book before he retired and while he was not the best he still got the in the best seller list as his most popular book has been sold over three thousand in the first week. 

"Wow, I wish I could write a book like that" thought Jake as he started reading the book. Looking at Jake reading the book, Sam slowing stood up and left the room while quietly closing the door.
Jake didn't even notice that Sam had left as he was immerse in the book,  and while he was reading, a small gust of wind blew some paper away from him and jolt him out of his book.

 When he was about to put down the book to pick up the paper, a stronger wind picks up and blow all his things away. "What is happening", he said nervously as he drops the book. As the book touches the floor, a strong attraction force came from the book. "AHHHHHHH!!!", scream Jake, as he was pulled into the book and slowly, he black out.

I am not a writer, this story is just something I wrote in school for my project.

A story of a young boy named Jake who loves story's of swords and magic, found himself sucked in a book, searching for a way out.

Kane was standing on a partially transparent platform.

  Kane couldn't tell what had happened to him, but the feeling was familiar as he experienced it once before. The feeling of being dragged by someone suddenly with huge force, and drove him to this world.

  " Where am I again? Am I being teleport to a new world again? Hello guy who I don't ever meet you before, please be nice to me next time if you want to make me somewhere else, because the feeling is unpleasant as I am being forced. "

  Not like before, Kane currently possessed far stronger soul than before after recovering from the great mind injury and learning the soul training technique. His five senses were highly improved, he could tell that a great force immobilized his whole body, not even a single finger could be moved. And he was being pulled into a tunnel and came to this platform, this happened in just less than a second. The previous him was just trance in mind and being teleported without noticing anything.

  Kane made a long sigh with warm air coming out from his mouth. He found himself ridiculous to talk to nobody. " I did best take a look around to find out my current whereabouts. "

  Several bookshelves fell into his vision, which were arranged in parallel. Those bookshelves were fabricated by greenish brown wood with closed-grained and seemed ancient as well. 

Kane walked near to bookshelves, took a closer look at the material used. He knew nothing about the wood, its type from its appearance, its age from its wood grains and their worth. Yet, he had a strong feeling of these bookshelves would probably be worth and make him a great amount of money if he could take it out and sold them.

  " What a waste of these beautiful bookshelves if there are no books put on them. " Kane swept his eyes across every row of the bookshelf near to him, the other side of it had no books as well. 

  Upon walking to the second bookshelf, he looked down on his bottom, the platform. 

  " What are there? " 

The figure could be seen as the platform was partially transparent, it had raised his curiosity to wonder what was the scene beneath his feet. It showed a blur and abstract image to him, he could tell exactly what was it. It was just a mess… the more appropriate word was chaos.

 It seemed bottomless as if someone fell into it and never had a chance to get out from there. The chaos was dark, occasionally some white color light would blink within it. The whole picture was just like a deep dark sky which was full of blinking stars.

   An idea flashed across his head, " It just like the universe I saw in a picture, no light, full of endless darkness and an astonishing number of stars traveling on their specific orbits. "

When he stepped his feet on the platform, it produced circular waves as if a stone being thrown into a river. He found it interesting, rose his right foot and slightly rapped the platform twice, causing two waves around his foot. He then stomped on the floor, a great wave was produced until it reached every corner of the platform.

" This is funny. I felt like I am walking on the water. "

  After enough of playing with the waves produced by floor, he turned his vision to the second bookshelf. Unfortunately, there were no books on the bookshelf as well. He started to wonder the reason for the bookshelves being put here and serve no purpose as he could find any book on them.

  Kane revealed a sigh of disappointment and started to observe his surrounding environment. The top part of this realm is extremely different from the bottom. There was white light radiated in this realm, making this realm bright. It gave him the feeling of comfortable by looking the white color as if he was in the midst of holy light. The top seemed holy as the upper part was filling with white light, while the bottom seemed creepy and wondering with full of darkness.

  " What is this place. It seemed this placed is made of two parts, one is light and the other was darkness. I am just like in the middle of the holy land and dark bottom. " 

Kane muttered to himself. The scenario of the realm surprised him, his curiosity was rose up, he was even had willing to jump to the darkness to find out what was inside it, but it was just an idea and he didn't take action to accomplish it.

A figure fell into his eyes during he took a look in all directions, a book floated in the middle of the realm.

" The book! It is there far from my current location. " The book was far away from the platform he was standing. Actually, the book was just normal size such as the thickness of a normal dictionary. While Kane was able to see the book which was about one hundred feet away from him.

" I would like to take a close look on it. " Without thinking too much, he turned his body toward the direction of the book and walked to it.

One step.

Two steps.

…

Five steps.

Six steps.

Ouch!

His nose was bumped against a hard matter. He felt pain on his bloody red nose, closing his eyes and putting his hand on it. " What the hell is in front of me, I cannot see anything blocking my way. "

Before he bumped against with hard matter, some light blue color flashed across his eyes. When he reopened his eyes, he found nothing was in front of him. 

This time, he slowly moved forward and raised his hand to the front as a shield to protect him. He couldn't move forward anymore as his hand was blocked by a hard matter. He pressed on it, blue light flashed dimly.

" It is a barrier. I was hurt by it just now. " Not like what he expected before, he thought he could freely move in this realm but he was just restricted by the magic barriers and allow him to activity in certain.

" I wonder how large the platform I am standing at. Maybe I need to walked around and estimate how huge is it? " Kane kept pressing his hand on the barrier and walked around the platform. 

It was a rectangle platform with four round corner, roughly 160 feet long and 70 feet width. " This place is quite huge compared to my home in the village. "

Later, he turned his vision back to the book. It seemed like he was unable to get there and took a close look at the book. He helplessly shook his head and sighed, giving up to his plan before. " It seems like I have no way to get there as long as the barrier blocks my way. It is better for me to give up now, and tried it next time. "

He moved his concentration back to those bookshelves with the sincere hope that the third bookshelf won't disappoint him.

He once took a look on both sides of the bookshelf, nothing was found again. Continuing his way to other bookshelves, he finally found on the fifth one.

" After long searching, I finally find one book. " Bitter smile was shown on his smile, he eventually found one book. Then, he took it out from the bookshelf and inspected the book.

" Basic magic: Fire Ball " The title on the book.

After just reading the title, he was in high spirit, excitement slowly overwhelmed his heart. He muttered with a slight smile, " It is exactly what I want. I am so excited that I eventually start to learn magic, thus I must read this book in detail. " 

He opened the book and read it.
 
  " Fire Ball is the most basic magic in the world. If you want to recognize yourself as a magus, you need to have the soul power of Rank 1 Beginning and learn this magic. After you acquired these two requirements, then you can call yourself a magus. Thus, young cultivator, please tried your best to learn this magic if you have a dream to become a magus in the future."

  The preface of the book showed him some basic information about this magic. From the book, he understood that this magic was the most basic one to learn and like an entry for a person to enter the cultivating path of magus.

  Kane continued his reading.

  Fire Ball magic, you could just understand what is its type and the scene of casting this magic by its name. The fire was one of the most fundamental elements to make up this world, while the ball means that the learner made the fire in a ball shape and cast it out to attack.

  After a quite long time reading, Kane had a brief understanding of this magic. What he needed the most was practical experiences, as he could understand it all by just reading. 

  At first, he needed to imagine the heat and hot feeling in his brain. Later, directed spiritual energy to his palm, allowing the energy slightly flow out from the center of palm and accumulating until it formed a ball shape. Finally, broke the energy supply to the fire ball formed and let it out of hand. This was a basic concept of using fire ball.

  " Now, I did best to give it a try as I roughly understand the concept of this magic. This probably made me fulfilled if I am able to cast my first magic… err… No, my first magic by my own strength. " 

He had used magic in the forest before. That time, he was helped by a mysterious force and was able to cast out the Flame Burst magic. So, this meant that he had yet to know how to cast single magic, he really hoped he could cast the magic by his own hands.

" Let get out of here and practice the magic of fireball. " Kane's eyes lit, he hoped that he could try it as soon as possible. At first, he needed to find an ideal place for his training ground.

" But, how do I get outta here? " As he was drawn into this realm without he acknowledge, hence he didn't the way to get out from this realm. " Will I trap here forever? "

Kane felt helpless as he completely had no idea on what he supposed to do. He frowned his bow and close his eyes, trying hard to think out something.

" I believed that I was drawn by the book to this realm. In return, if I want to leave, I have to connect with the book. " Looking at the book, he tried to connect the book. 

He sensed that he was connected with the book and silently spoke in his heart, " Let me get out of here. "

The scenario changed, his vision became blank. Just an instance, he appeared at his house.

A world of magic and swords.

A world of brute and no mercy.

One’s strength formed the foundation of this world. No place for cry baby and weaklings. One’s altitude depended on how much power he possessed.

Magus was a magic user with full of knowledge and wisdom, they could cast beautiful magic based on the law of elements. Warriors were martial artist by fusing spiritual energy to their body, strengthened physical strength and used martial techniques to fight with enemies.

Kane, a young man born in the modern era, accidentally found a mysterious book and being traversed into this world. 

A young man with no background and resources, how could he survive in this brutal world? With the aid of the mysterious book which recorded numerous secret techniques and powerful magic, he started his own new legend to be the strongest.

He chose a different path from the others. He trained as a magus and warrior simultaneously, finally became the strongest magical warrior.

Let’s join his journey.

Christian paused when he saw the front door to the house open. Anfey and Black Eleven appeared.
"Black Eleven, Anfey," Christian said, hurrying over to greet them.
"What are the zombies doing?" Anfey asked.
"They’re getting close," Christian said. "Let’s go to the city walls." They turned and followed Christian towards Moramatch’s walls.
Alice was already waiting near the mage tower by the time they arrived. She stood next to the mages, staring at the Eye of the Sky. In the Eye of the Sky they could see thousands of zombies marching towards the city in neat columns. With her were Suzanna and Shinbella, who were taking a break from fight training. All three women turned to look at Anfey, Chrisitan, and Black Eleven. They appeared deeply disturbed and worried.
"Look at this," Alice said sullenly, moving aside. "What do you propose we do?"
Anfey looked at the Eye of the Sky. The zombies surged towards the city like ocean waves. There were more zombies present than he had ever anticipated. He never thought the necromancers would pay so much attention to a small town like Moramatch. If the mysterious Priest of Light was a small island to provide the mercenaries with the light of hope and a sanctuary, the zombies were the ocean that surrounded that sanctuary. The mercenaries, the dwarves, and the gnomes had constructed two more walls outside the barriers they had set up in case the zombies broke through the barrier again as they had the previous time. However, the walls were made of dirt and could not hold for long against this many zombies.
"You have to make a decision," Suzanna said, "or else we all die."
"There are so many," Anfey whispered under his breath.
Alice nodded. "It’s unexpected," she said, shaking her head. "We aren’t prepared for this. I had the dwarves open the entrances into the tunnels just in case. They’re easier to defend than the city."
"Is that the priest you talked about?" Anfey asked, pointing at a figure in the Eye of the Sky. Alice sighed and nodded. "He’s looks… different than I expected," Anfey said.
Alice had gathered all the mages in the town and ordered them to use the Eye of the Sky. Right now, most of the Eyes were following the priest and the zombies he was fighting. The other Eyes were focused on other fronts. The only side of the town that wasn’t monitored was the western front, under Ozzic’s charge, where the priest had come from. There were enough zombies to immediately surround and take over the town.
"I don’t know how to feel about the priest," Christian admitted. "He’s our best hope at survival right now, but he’s acting strange."
The priest climbed onto a small hill and turned towards Moramatch, waving and mumbling something. Then he turned around and dusted off his robes. A book appeared in his left hand and he raised his staff. The priest marched towards the zombies confidently. Christian gasped when he saw the staff.
"What is it?" Anfey asked.
"The first pope St. Robin appeared on the battlefield like this," Christian said, "but back then, the zombies were not immune to light magic."
"He seems confident," Anfey commented. "Why? He has to know something we are not aware of."
Elizabeth shook his head. "The Church of Light has a strict code. They will not allow any priests to reveal secrets. You can interrogate him all you want. You won’t get anything out of him."
Anfey frowned. He wasn’t fond of anyone affiliated with the Church of Light, but this priest was their best hope. He knew very well that if he ordered the mercenaries to strike, they would lose the city.
"Look at him!" Blavi suddenly called.
The priest paused and rested the staff and book on the ground. He stretched and rubbed his shoulder, then picked up his belongings again.
"Interesting," Christian commented. He turned to Anfey and asked, "Should we go in?"
"Wait," Anfey said. "I don’t want to alert the zombies. Let’s see what that priest has to offer."
After a few minutes, the priest appeared on the horizon. He walked towards the town, the sun behind him. He wasn’t a large man, but in that moment he appeared as a figure from a legend. His staff was raised high above his head and he walked with confidence. As he approached the zombies, the creatures automatically cleared a path for him as if they were afraid of him and did not even want to be near him. Ozzic gulped nervously. He had never seen so many zombies in the same place. He did not know what he should do if the zombies began charging. He took a deep breath and turned to look at the wall. The presence of the mages and swordsmasters was the only thing that stopped him from retreating back into the city.
The priest stopped under the first dirt wall and turned to look at the zombies. He waved his hand and his figure rose into the air. He hovered above the dirt walls and waved his wand. The book burst into blinding light. Zombies around him howled in pain and turned to shade their eyes from the light.
The priest waved his wand and the light rose. Anfey narrowed his eyes and realized that even he could not look at the book and must turn away so his eyes wouldn’t be blinded.
As the light expanded, the zombies’ howls died down and the creatures all froze. The priest flipped through the book slowly. All the mercenaries were forced to close their eyes. After a few more pages, even Anfey had to close his eyes.
The priest began chanting in a foreign language. The light enveloped the zombies and the creatures began turning into dust. Then even the dust puffed away into nothing.
This was such an unexpected display of power. Clearly, the man was no ordinary priest. Anfey opened his eyes and watched as the last of the zombies disappeared. By the time the light was gone, there were no more zombies to be seen. Anfey widened his eyes, gaping. He now knew why the priest was confident.
He was so powerful, but why didn’t he do something earlier?
"My god," Elizabeth muttered. "That’s the Revelation of Light."
"What is that?"
"It’s two books: the first part is called the Book of Doom, the second is the Book of Life," Elizabeth muttered. "This must be the Book of Life. But how did it come to this man?"
The book reappeared through the light and fell back into the priest’s hands. The priest rested on the dirt wall and dusted his robes again. The mercenaries watched in shock, then they all bowed towards the priest. They knew that the man had just saved all of their lives.
Some of the surviving zombies dashed away from the town, howling in fear. Anfey frowned. He didn’t want the zombies getting away with this news. They could report it to the necromancers, and he had no idea what the necromancers would do once they knew.

After successfully planning the evil wizard's downfall, he used the wizard's body as a springboard to gain influence and power in his new world.

Not A Chapter


I opened my eyes and the first thing that came to my sight is light. The light is taking me away. Wait, no. It's just an artificial light above me. I observed the surroundings and noticed that I'm in a hospital.
What day is it now? Tsk, I need to check the calendar. Oh my god, there's no calendar here.
I gazed at the table and saw my phone. Who the f will leave my phone here? I mean—someone can steal this anytime. Stupid minds.
There's no doctor who informed me that no phones allowed for patients. So I'm going to use this no matter what.
I checked the date and it's already 2 months passed. For sure, my best friend didn't miss me. However, I'm still going to inform that little weirdo that I'm freakin' alive.
I opened the camera and took a shot of myself. I sent it to my best friend and added some caption.
'Btch, I'm alive.'
She replied immediately.
'Btch, I'm reading.'
As usual, she's reading again. Maybe she bought another book and read it immediately, leaving behind those unread books on her shelf.
Wait, did I forget my name? No, yeah no. It's NO-ONE-SO-SHUT-UP. What a clever name. I don't want to see my parents again.
~*~
It's been weeks after I woke up from a coma for over 2 months. I didn't expect that I would survive. My characters just gave me a second chance to live. However, I will not stop killing more characters. Those characters that I will kill are already useless for the next chapters. I don't want to ruin my career so I pity those characters.
Type, type, type, and someone fictional died.
I sighed. I remembered the day I secretly visited my best friend, MIND-YO-OWN-BUSINESS, in their house. She's laying on the floor and whimpering. I saw my book in her room so I guess, she read it and finished it recently. I also came up with the conclusion that maybe her favorite character was killed by me. I didn't have the guts to show up to her for the reason that she might kill me.
My phone rang. My best friend is calling me. I answered it even though I know she will curse me. It's harmless though. Unless, she's on her way to my house, getting ready to slap me a book 360 degrees or maybe splash me some cold water like we always do.
"What are you doin'?" she asked.
"Having a tea with someone evil." I'm referring to the mass genocide here in my fictional story. Yah, I know. I'm just a merciless and weirdo writer who committed fictional mass genocide. I'm not that harsh as everybody thinks.
"Okay." She dropped the call without even saying goodbye.
And geez, I saw the google icon. Goodness! It's been days since I'm fighting procrastination. No, it's been freakin' weeks! I finished nothing because of this freakin' procrastination. I hate procrastination but I think I'm having a WAP (Writer's Ability to Procrastinate) and I hate that to the highest level—
A new plot came to my mind. Goodness, goodness, goodness! That plot is awesome but I'm not yet finished with this story I'm working on! Why is the world so cruel at me? Why? Somebody care to answer?
Moments later, I started scrolling on Twitter, watch youtube videos, and forgot about the chapter that should write. Readers are already begging for an update but the inner me is saying,  "just ignore them." Now, I hate myself.

She is just a normal writer until a mishap happened. After she woke up in a coma, nothing changed. She continues to procrastinate since it's her only ability.

As soon as they came in, someone arrived to greet them.

A man wearing the department uniform came forward and respectfully bowed: "Sirs, did you bring someone here yourself today?"

Chen Wang spoke: "Just some minor matters, help them process it quickly"

"No problem sir, we will do it immediately, please be assured" the man quickly replied.

Chen Wang patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "What a pleasant attitude, I see great things ahead for you!"

The man was surprised and quickly smiled: "It's only my duty, it's only my duty"

He then pulled out an ID card and pushed something in the void of space.

He spoke: "Now serving ticket number 117, I am the Profession Committee's special affair commissioner No.2, please state your business and I will help you process it"

Xie Dao Ling replied: "I am the leader of the cultivation alliance, here to request the novice qualification test for cultivators to select members for the annual Strife Zones quota"

Hearing that, the man calmed down.

Seeing so many Lords coming at once, he had thought it would be some sort of serious business, so he personally came out to deal with it.

Who knew it would be such a simple matter.
"Very well, I'll process it immediately"

Saying so, he took his ID card and swiped it in the void of space.

"Human Profession Encyclopedia----- summon"

Clunk!

With a heavy dull sound, a hardback book about the size of a table landed in front of everyone.

The book was already as thick as half a person.

The man spoke apologetically: "My apologies, there are just too many human Professions, and we're currently experiencing a constant growth rate of 17 new Professions per year, so this book is only becoming thicker and thicker"

"It's fine, please help us process our request" Xie Dao Ling replied.

The man put his hand on the book and whispered: "Lady Darksea, a representative of the human cultivators have requested to conduct the novice qualification test for the Strife Zones"

「 I understand 」

A blue light came down from above, shining on the encyclopedia.

Following that, a majestic female voice came from the encyclopedia: 「 Cultivators, was it? Let me see…」

The thick book began to turn by itself, flipping through the pages.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the book to see the names of countless Professions, including: Warlock, Card user, Dark Strider, Assassination Hunter, Knight, Summoner, Boxer, Saint Chanter, Evening Light Curer, God's Waiter, Soul Blade, Shadow Life Weaver, Elemental Phazer, Spirit Composer, Bard, Psychic, Wild Beast Fusionist, Adventurer, Sea Lord, Barrier Master…

Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "There are so many Professions here, what standard do you use to divide them?"

Chen Wang answered: "There are usually 2 main factors: the source of their power, and the direction that the world develops"

Yun Ji added: "That's right, like how cultivators have their own smaller branches, but in the end all cultivators use spirit energy, and you all belong to the cultivation civilization as a whole, so it's aggregated into a single Profession"

At this point, the book stopped turning.

「 Found it 」the female voice spoke.
「 Currently, in the 900 million World Layers, there are a total of 19,560 cultivation-type worlds, to begin the qualification process, every cultivation world will need to select 3 novices before I start the screening process 」

"Did you bring the list?" the employee asked Xie Dao Ling.

Xie Dao Ling then took out a jade tag and gave it to him.

The employee put the jade tag onto the cover of the encyclopedia.

The majestic female voice came again: 「 A total of 58,680 people are on the list, please make sure all of them are currently on this world 」

Xie Dao Ling solemnly answered: "All of the novices of the cultivation alliance are ready, they have all gathered within the 900 million World Layers alliance council's world. They have also been notified of the rules of the qualification test"

The majestic female voice echoed: 「Very well, it seems the process will be very convenient this time, I will proceed with the cultivators' novice qualification test in five minutes 」

"We will trouble you then, Lady Darksea" the employee spoke.

Chen Wang and the other Lords also spoke: "We've troubled you, Lady"

「 I am happy to do this, there is no need to be so polite 」the female voice answered.

As soon as she said that, the blue light came off from the encyclopedia and attached itself onto Gu Qing Shan, Ning Yue Chan and Leng Tian Xing.

The light began to expand covering their entire body.

Bai Hua Fairy quickly told them: "Quickly don your equipment------ tools are also part of humanity's strength, take out your weapons as well"

Ning Yue Chan quickly equipped her snow-white Yong Zhen General armor and put her hand on her Blade, wondering: "Something doesn't seem right"

"What is it?"

Leng Tian Xing had also equipped his golden You Ji General armor, holding a fan in his hand.

"If someone has an especially powerful weapon as well as the best possible armor, wouldn't that allow them to directly pass?" Ning Yue Chan asked.

"That wouldn't happen" the mechanical arm spoke: "Lady Darksea's Mystic-type magic can tell the compatibility between a Professionist and their equipment, the novices who borrow armor from others will be directly disqualified"
"As for weapons------- there were quite a few ridiculous novices who had extremely powerful Divine Armaments, but couldn't even swing them once, this would naturally be unable to escape Lady Darksea's eyes------ as she will observe this through your souls"

"Is Lady Darksea also a Lord-class Combatant?" Gu Qing Shan asked intrigued.

"Ah----- she isn't" Chen Wang replied, "she's a lot stronger than we are"

"Not to mention, she has lived for countless years already, being the novice qualification judge for the 900 million World Layers alliance is nothing but her hobby" Big Bear explained.

The employee also agreed: "Indeed, we're glad that she is willing to help, otherwise we don't know how many people we would've need every time we get a qualification test like this"

While they were talking, Gu Qing Shan also took out his Shen Wei General armor.

The Shen Wei General armor was completely black, with the exception of a light golden mask

Gu Qing Shan lightly tapped the armor.

The armor components quickly scattered, circled around Gu Qing Shan and equipped themselves onto him.

Lastly, Gu Qing Shan put on the light golden mask.

Tiny strands of dark mist drifted about the armor, not like a burning black flame but rather like it was Gu Qing Shan's aura itself, making him appear like a devil.

He took the Chao Yin sword and Six Paths Great Mountain sword from the void of space, one each in his hands.

"With such an armor, I can be relieved and fight as much as I want in close combat"

Gu Qing Shan moved around a bit and happily said.

Xie Dao Ling was observing Gu Qing Shan closely: "This armor can help you absorb the scattered spirit essence that exists everywhere, as well as the ability to stop some curses and soul vessel attacks, the durability is also top-notch. It is the best possible armor we can currently create"

-------the cultivation world's level of Smithing had increased by several levels, far exceeding what they were able to achieve back then.

This armor was the equipment provided for the highest-ranking General in their military, it condensed all of the cultivation world's best possible Smithing techniques into one.

「 It is time, the qualification test shall begin 」

Lady Darksea's voice came again.

A few moments later, the blue light that covered Gu Qing Shan, Ning Yue Chan, and Leng Tian Xing radiated so brightly that it became blinding to look at.

The three of them disappeared on the spot.

"There, please wait for a few moments, the novice qualification tests are quite trivial for Lady Darksea, she should be done with it very soon" the employee respectfully told them

Xie Dao Ling and Chen Wang's group all nodded.


The end of all worlds approach.
The Demon King Order harvests lives from all manners of living beings.
Within this darkness full of despair, a single person bypassed Space-time and returned to before the world collapsed, determined to change the fate of the past.
But as time went by, he gradually found that the Apocalypse isn’t quite as simple as he thought…

The icy peaks loomed under the moonlight.
Under the mountain, six people appeared—Link, Dark Magician Eugene, Light Magician Halino, Eliard, Nana, and a Warrior with tattered red armor and a curved sword.
Wait, another beam of light appeared around 1500 feet to the left of Link. The light subsided, revealing Red Dragon Queen Gretel.
So there were seven people.
Gretel didn't seem to be in good shape. She was covered in wounds, and her fiery-red dress was torn at places. After she appeared, crystal red power surged, and her injuries started healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even her dress was mended.
Seeing Link, she flinched and then looked away. She didn't speak.
No one else appeared after that. Milose never came. Link guessed that he couldn't pass the test.
Now, the piece of the Book of Creation was not far from the seven. Gretel was 1500 feet to the left of Link. The Dark Magician Eugene was to his right. After that was the Light Magician and the Warrior before finally getting to Eliard and Nana.
Link's position was disadvantageous. He was right between three outsiders.
The treasure was before them, and the situation was unclear. Thus, everyone was on alert. No one wanted to be the first to go.
They couldn't keep at this stalemate though. Light Magician Halino spoke up first. "Ferde Lord, the piece isn't that useful. If you take it—"
Before he could finish, the voice rang out from the mountain again. "Younglings, I am very happy that you all passed the test. The fact that you are here means that you all have a talent that the others do not have. It may be power, wisdom, lineage, or even pure luck. You are the top-tier geniuses of the era. Now, you have come for the piece of the Book of Creation. Unfortunately, there is only one piece. That means only one person can receive it."
"Who are you?" Eugene called.
"Me? I'm just the remnant of a soul left from the ancient times. I am the protector of the ancient sovereign wisdom."
"What benefits does that piece have?" Eugene asked again.
"Benefits? Didn't you come because you knew? It is the key that can open the authority of the World Tree. Because it is the biggest piece, it contains more than 50% of the Creation Runes in the book. With it, you can control the World Tree and become the most powerful of this realm. You can rule over the countless lives in Firuman."
Control the World Tree? The most powerful who could rule over lives?
Other than Nana, everyone present stopped breathing for a moment. Even Link's heart skipped a beat at this.
Link wasn't greedy for the ultimate power of ruling all lives. His heart sped up because of what the piece represented. It could help someone become the ultimate ruler and control countless fates. The fact that it existed was terrifying.
Imagine if someone got it. If they really became the most powerful as this protector said, then Link, his loved ones, and his friends would all be ruled by them. If they didn't like the new magic institution he'd established in Ferde, they could destroy it easily.
These thoughts flowed through his mind. Instantly, Link discovered that he only had one choice—fight for the piece.
Link didn't lower his guard while thinking. He kept watching the people beside him from the corner of his vision, especially Eugene.
In his mind, he also asked the sword spirit, Is the piece truly that powerful?
It might not have been in the ancient times. When all Level-19 lords united, they could still defeat the sovereign. But now, there are barely any strong figures. Perhaps it's true?
The sword spirit made sense.
At this time, Link suddenly saw a message pop up in his vision. He checked and saw it was actually from the game system.
Activate Mission: The Piece That Shouldn't Exist
Mission Content: The piece of the Book of Creation is too powerful. Its existence will only push the Firuman Realm deeper into danger. Destroy it so no sovereign can appear in this world.
Mission Reward 1: Brilliant Starry Crown (Level-19)
Mission Reward 2: 1000 Omni Points
Punishment for Failure: Light Curse
Light Curse
Divine Technique
Effect: The punishment of the God of Light. The cursed will have their power forever sealed by the God of Light and die within three years.
(Note: God can instantly destroy a mortal's power and cause them to fall from the clouds, making them experience despair!)
This mission was very cruel. Link glanced at it and then ignored it. He wasn't that naive kid anymore. He knew what he wanted to do and didn't want anyone to interfere. Even if it was a god tempting him with Level-19 magic equipment, he would still be unmoved.
The Red Dragon Queen spoke now to everyone present, "This piece will cause a great imbalance in the world's power. I don't wish anyone to receive it, so I will do my best to destroy it! If I succeed, the world will be in luck. If not, I hope Firuman can be eternal!"
As she spoke, thick red light appeared on her body. They formed the illusion of a dragon. Half a second later, she transformed into dragon form.
Hearing this, Dark Magician Eugene yelled, "Gretel, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say that we'd use this to stop the High Elves? How come you've turned now?"
Light Magician Halino also said, "Your Majesty, I agree, but let's use it to stop the High Elves first and then destroy it."
The Red Dragon Queen shook her head resolutely. "No, once this piece arrives at the World Tree, no one will be able to resist its temptation, not even me. Thus, I must destroy it now!"
"You crazy woman!" Eugene yelled. Dark flames faded in and out around him as he berated, "Without it, we'll all die when the realms fuse and Mana explodes."
"So what? Life will pass. My race's mission to maintain the balance in the world is truly eternal!" Gretel's voice was calm. Her eyes were also calm; she'd seen everything in the world.
In the distance, Inferno Warrior Hamilton watched all this and burst into laughter. "It's laughable. It's truly laughable. You haven't even gotten the piece, and you have internal fights already. There'll be a great show next… Alright, don't look at me. I'm not your match. You guys take it while I get out of here. Seeing this was enough for me."
With that, he turned around and walked back. Soon, he was gone. Even his aura had disappeared. He really wasn't going to continue this fight.
Six people were left.
Eliard looked to Link. "What do you plan on doing?"
He wasn't interested in ruling. To him, the best thing in life was to quietly study magic and spend his time with his loved one. This had mostly come true in Ferde.
Now, this piece was threatening his happy life. His intent was the same as the Red Dragon Queen. He would do his best to destroy the piece. However, if Link wanted it, he would also try his best to get it for Link. He knew that the world wasn't as beautiful as he thought. He may not want it, but that didn't mean others didn't want it. Link getting the piece was better than others getting it.
As for Nana, she would do whatever Link said.
Halino looked at Link and hurriedly said, "Lord Morani, don't forget the crazy plan of the High Elves. I believe the wisest choice is to take the piece, stop the High Elves, and then destroy it. If you agree to help us get it, I can take three astral meteorites from my personal archive as compensation."
As soon as he finished, Eugene said, "Lord Morani, you have common sense. Halino's plan doesn't' have any problems. If you agree, I'll add three more astral meteorites."
On the other side, the Red Dragon Queen didn't say anything. She also looked at Link. She was clear that whether or not she could destroy this terrible piece depended on Link.
He already had a plan. Glancing at the piece on the mountain, he smiled. "Actually, I—"
Before he could finish, there was another flash. When the light subsided, a dwarf appeared. It was the Mountain Sage, Heroto.
This was another variable.


Link was the top Archmage in the entire server. He had just defeated the strongest boss, the Lord of The Deep, Nozama with his party. However, instead of going back to town, he was transported to a secret location with pixelated CG. 

It sort of felt like a vacuum, and within it came a glorious and commanding voice that calls himself the God of Light. 

"Link, would you be willing to be the saviour who will pull the World of Firuman out from the churning abyss?"

What a huge mission! If it was in the real world, Link would have rejected it immediately. However, he was bent on being the hero in game.

"Bring it on!" Link answered confidently.

"Then, best of luck." 

And so begin Link's journey of magic, friendship, betrayal, love and despair in the ever changing World of Firuman.
