"I heard that this shop will be selling magical communication mirrors - with them one can contact anyone else, who has bought a mirror from this shop," said an old lady wearing a wide witch's hat and dark robes while standing on the street in front of the shop titled 'Dragon Enterprises' with her friend, who was similarly dressed.

"I doubt that it is possible. My husband once bought us a pair and I know that they work very specifically. It is impossible to connect them to other people's magical mirrors, since they are made by different enchanters and have different charms, even if the function is similar," said the old lady's friend arrogantly. She appeared to be very confident when speaking on this subject, however her companion wasn't convinced.

"They are even advertising that they will return the fees if what they are saying isn't true," she argued heatedly. Her friend just snorted with disbelief, however, she still carefully read the poster which was hanging on one of the windows.

Around the big white building, which was just next to the Gringotts bank, a crowd could be seen gathering. They enthusiastically discussed the magical mirrors and the new store's opening, which would happen on the next day. 

"Wow, they will be returning funds if the magical mirrors don't work?" said one brightly dressed wizard, eerily resembling Dumbledore, with some disbelief.

Another person shook his head, expressing doubt, and commented: "Have you seen what it says at the bottom? In the future the mirrors will have other functions, such as sending messages through them. Does it mean that we will no longer need owls? How does that even work?!"

"Ah!!! I am too stupid! I don't understand, how will I find out my friend's number if I cannot call them to ask?" asked one young lady, who had been squinting at one of the posters for the past 10 minutes. Her boyfriend, who has been standing by the side the whole time and tapping his foot on the ground, impatiently answered:

"You really are stupid! Just floo and ask them! You can also send an owl with your own number and when they call, they will tell you their number."

The lady wasn't angered, seemingly used to her companion's temperament. She idly continued to talk, as though she didn't notice her boyfriend's impatience: "But look at how much they cost! The minimum cost is 3 galleons and if the calls exceed 100 minutes per month, we have to pay 1 knut for each additional minute? What if we don't pay?"

A sigh of exasperation could be heard. The lady's boyfriend really wanted to know how he came to like this slow-minded girl. "Don't you see what's written in front of you? They can disable your mirror until you pay up!"

"That's just ripping people off!"

"Well, it is apparently hard to maintain the whole network, so they are doing it because they don't want to 'crash' it, whatever that means..." came the uncertain answer for the first time during their conversation. 

An old and flair wizard, sitting on a floating chair, heard the pair's talk and interrupted: "I bet that's hogwash - they just want to earn some money! Though the whole set up does seem to require some very specific magic... However, the mirror is more convenient than standing on the knees in front of a fireplace. At my age I cannot even floo-call my friends, cause none of us want to damage our knees. Even cushioning charms don't help much!" The old man sighed and floated away.

Meanwhile, the impatient young wizard was thoughtfully considering: "Actually, when thinking about the costs, if the mirrors work as advertised, then they should be cheaper in long term than buying an owl and their food or constantly buying floo-powder. Did you see the price increases? It's like they think we have bottomless pockets!" 

His girlfriend shook her head with disappointment - her companion was too money-conscious, no wonder he worked in the Finance department of the Ministry!

The day of Dragon Enterprises first store's opening wasn't very lively or bright. As it was already the first day of December, the unpredictable English weather made itself known by raining small droplets one minute and stopping the next. There was even some light mist, spreading along the streets and blocking the sight.

However, despite the unpleasant time of the year and the inconvenience, a lot of people still lined up at the front of the new store, which hasn't even opened its doors yet. This was because the poster, hanging by one of the store's windows, clearly said that the first 100 customers will get a deal of buying one mirror and getting another one for free. This kind of service would be available only on the opening day! How could curious witches and wizards not gather?

"I can hardly wait any longer, it's almost 9 a.m., do they not see us? Why are they not opening up?"

"I had to recast the drying charm for the third time today, and the day hasn't even properly started yet!"

Grumbles and complaints could be heard from the people standing in line, however no one left. Soon the Dragon Enterprises opened its doors and the people rushed in - it was hard to tell whether they wanted to get away from the rain or were eager to see the new products.

"Oh, finally!"

"Ah, it's so warm and bright inside!"

"Let's see what new stuff they got!"

As soon as people entered, they were instantly mesmerized by the shop's elegant interior. The salesmen and salesgirls respectfully greeted the first customers and led them around the store, explaining that there were no real differences between mirrors yet, aside from them having different frames and casings. 

Wizards were mostly happy with simple and cheap versions - made with common wood or metal frames. On the other hand, ladies' eyes were shining while looking at mirrors which had pretty carvings or colors. Most could only sigh wistfully after seeing those, which were made from gold, silver or expensive wood and even had gems encrusted. However, every mirror had one thing in common - be they cheap or expensive, they were all done very well and looked quite elegant, with the symbol of the curling dragon at the back.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's usable," said an old wizard. His wife disagreed, "What usable? What cheap? All you know is to save money! My neighbor over there is buying a mirror with silver frames and carved flowers, yet you want to buy me the one made out of wood? How will I be able to face her in the future!" The old wizard could only give up - his wife didn't care that the wood was also expensive and the carvings were very beautiful -  he had to get either silver or golden one for her.

Considering the exclusive deal of 1+1, witches and wizards didn't hesitate to choose different mirrors for themselves and their partners, friends and children. Especially since they were repeatedly assured by the staff that the money would be returned if the products didn't work as advertised. 

A lot of customers bought more than two mirrors, so the store's staff was very busy. There was a long line forming from the counter throughout the whole store, so the buyers were given queue numbers and were thus allowed to rest on the couches by the side, while they waited.

There was also a line to register names to contact numbers, which was a bit shorter but still quite long.

In the end, the first day of business was very successful for the Dragon Enterprises and the next day the Dragon Mirrors were already in the news.

Draco was very happy to see that the mirror network was working as intended and even though his staff did make some mistakes by accidentally registering wrong contact numbers to the wrong names, those things were not too serious and were quickly sorted out. 

The young entrepreneur was especially pleased by the article in Daily Prophet, for which his father (obviously) paid for. It praised not only the young boy, who was the company's founder, but also the mirror network - as the new magical innovation of the century!

Imagine yourself dying and reincarnating into the book series where you know the future, where magic is a thing, and where your whole family belongs to the side which is destined to lose the coming war. 


Will you change your destiny? 


Will you try to become one of the 'good guys' or push the Dark side to win? 


Or maybe you will be neither...

"Everybody group up this mist is weakening our power! And those tridents are powering them up! Once your group up in some form, have one side attack, the trident, and the other attack their main body at the same time! Their not invulnerable even with this mysterious trident!" Kazami used his Qi to reinforce his voice and loudly informed them all while continually jumping back to Brenda.
Kazami was able to deduce the mist's weakening effect in a split second as he clashed with the trident; it should've killed the shark as he was in his divine power state.
But when he unleashed his fist, he felt more cumbersome and slower than usual, and he was able to handle some strange power when clashing with the trident.
Even with Brenda, he noticed her attack should've crushed its whole hand as it was an attack from her bloodline state something that breaks even 5th level Origin Formation, people.
Hearing this, the group all commenced to pairing up with each other to finish off these sharks.
"I will assist you two." Slade had hurriedly approached and spoken to them. Nodding their head, everyone then heard the strongest shark declaring,
"Hahaha! Do you hear that my brothers? They think they got us figured out! Fall back now!" He ordered, but Kazami wasn't going to let them join up again.
"Yu, go all out and block the strongest one-off and also separate the weaker ones!" He roared to her and capturing the idea, Lun Yuo initiated her divine powers to its highest state, which taxes her harder than usual being in the mist.
But she still was able to sprout several vines that came out the red ice where the strongest one was standing surrounding him and blocking him off from the others while it did that the vines also was shooting towards the weaker ones intending to separate them.
"The hell is this?!" The strongest one screeched and smashed his trident against one of the vines thinking it would break easily but,
"I can't completely break it?!" The vine did have along cut in it, but it was still blasting towards the lesser sharks.
The sharks watched several vines come at them; the nine others got forced to evade around the vines as the speed of the vines didn't give them enough time to use their tridents.
The vines led to the sharks falling right into their trap and having to fight the paired up people as the vines kept chasing them about.
"I think this should be enough besides your vine left one for us to deal with," Hilles said as he and Myla were both next to Lun Yuo and faced against a shark beast.
Turning off her divine powers, Lun Yuo felt slight dizziness but focus up to take on the shark in front of them, who was only a peak Spirit Formation shark.
"Do you honestly think that guy shitty strategy will work?! You won't even know how you die now!" The shark boldly declared, and with his trident shining, he swung it down, unleashing a big wave of blue shark Qi.
At their distance, it will be impossible for them to dodge it and realizing that Hiles went in front of the two and released a powerful defensive cultivation skill named,
"Masked Wall!"
He called out, and a transparent earth Qi wall sprouted out in front of them, shielding them from the shark attacks.
"Covering like a turtle, eh? Let me see how long you can last against my endurance." He challenged, and as it cost him no energy at all, he sends out another wave of the same attack. After one attack, he would immediately send out another one making sure they couldn't go anywhere.
"I can only hold on for a little bit; I have to pour everything in this wall since this mist is lessening our power, and his attacks are relentless. Do you two got something to strike this guy?" Hiles asked them while fueling his wall against the shark attacks.
"Ah, I have something! My skill is "Mad Mirrors," which allows me to create ice mirrors that can either blast out endless icicle spears or send me to my opponent in a flash!" Myla cried out, and this got Lun Yuo to think of something and explaining an idea to her she said;
"I got an idea, if you can create four ice mirrors, aim it only at the trident, then while he busy and defending against it, I rush and hold the trident in place while you flash to him and freeze him. Got it?" Lun Yuo had a sound plan as they all notice, the sharks will only use their trident to attack and never get too close to attack them.
Nodding, they didn't waste any time, and Myla went to the right edge of the wall just barely scraping out and started her skill.
Both of hand was entirely in blue ice Qi as a strand formed between her two hands which gave birth to four ice mirrors. Concentrating even harder, she pours all of her power into this attack pushing the mirror to be even more potent than usual.
As the shark was firing away from his trident without a second thought, he didn't pay attention to the ice mirrors.
He barely reacted in time to an icicle spear shooting his way, and the power coming from the attack wasn't something he could tank even with the trident strengthening his body. He stopped attacking the wall and swung at the spear with his trident breaking it apart.
"That the be-" He was going to mock until he now fully paid attention to four mirrors shining in bright blue light, and immediately when he sawed the mirrors, it shot out endless firm ice spears towards him.
Focusing on the spears, he, in a rapid and fluent motion, spun his trident in a circular motion in front of him, blocking all of the spears coming at him.
While Myla was doing this she nodded at Lun Yuo and getting the signal, she aroused her divine powers and rushed in between the spears flawlessly maneuvering around them in a way the shark didn't even notice.
"Hey, you do know once you burn, it's your death... Huh?!" Before he knew it, there was Lun Yuo right in his face, and wasting no time, her hand shinning green had successfully grabbed the spinning trident not even affected by the trident glow and wrap the trident up with vines.
"What! How can you even touch my trident?! You should be burning up in a silver light!" But no matter what he thought, Lun Yuo wouldn't let go meaning almost all of his advantages were useless.
Realizing the dire situation he was in, the shark was going to bite his tongue to escape from this predicament, but a hard rock launched into his mouth, making him bite on to that, shattering some of his teeth.
The shark couldn't even process how did that happen when Myla appeared like a ghost above him and holding out her hand she shouted;
"Below Zero!"
Strings of ice blue Qi shot out of palms and latched onto the shark. The shark was slowly getting encased in ice, but before he could fully freeze, his eyes went mad his trident shined brighter than ever before. It shredded the vines that were on it and were even burning Lun Yuo hands.
"DIE WITH ME!" 
He fiercely shrieked, but guessing on what the shark planned to do, Lun Yuo eyes went half green now, and she yanked the trident out of his and tossed it high in the air.
"Run back to the wall!" 
Lun Yuo shouted to Myla, but not before she thrust a vine that sprouted from her hands through the shark head, killing him. They managed to make it back to the wall, and Lun Yuo turned off her divine powers and then;
'BOOOOM!'
A blue blast blinded their eyes, and they still had to form a barrier around themselves as the wall didn't entirely block the blast.
Once it was over, the trident fell to a huge hole formed on the red ice surface. The three were exhausted from this battle as they had to unleash all their energy in every attack.
Walking over, Lun Yuo picked up the trident floating in the water. Suddenly the trident was starting to glow blue, and not wanting anything to happen, she quickly activated her divine powers and suppressed the trident blue glow.
With it, in her hands, she started to think,
'This could be our ticket to victory.'
Then, the three of them felt a suffocating pressure coming from where the peak Origin Formation shark was.
…
At the same time, Kuzumi, Muji, and Ju Jia paired up with each other and was facing against another peak Spirit Formation shark and were trying to come up with ideas on how to attack the trident.
Ju Jia had created a hard blizzard where they were fighting and Kuzumi, and Muji was following her not to get lost and confuse the shark senses.
The shark could see clearly in the mist, but the blizzard massively messed with its senses and vision, making it harder for him.
"Enough with the cheap tricks! You can't run forever!" The shark exclaimed while sending out blue shark Qi attacks to whatever previous spot the three were hiding in once it discovers it.
"You have blade Qi. Cause I just got an idea on how to beat this shark. Follow my lead." Kuzumi said to Muji while in a blind spot for the shark.
"Tch, I'll give these prey one thing at least they're better at running around than the last bunch." The shark beast mocked, but then he felt something sharp graze his face in a second.
Sharply turning around, he tried to identify where they were, but again he felt another sharp graze on his other side. It became a repetition process where the shark kept trying to feel out what was grazing him, but whatever it was, outmatch his reaction speed.
While the trident did give them astronomically prowess in attacking and extra bodily defenses, their other abilities, such as senses or speed, would still be far weaker than what the trident was providing them.
Even if he tried to relly on his hearing for the attack, it proved useless as the quick attacks were soundless. 
"Don't fuck with me!" Finally, having enough of getting scratch, he yelled and raised his trident above, pouring a lot of power into it and making the trident shine a bright blinding blue light.
During this, from the snow right under him, a sturdy blue blade Qi sprung out and struck his head, knocking him off balance.
The shark was dazed and confused from that surprise attack, almost falling backward on his ass. But suddenly he stops falling and couldn't move his trident no matter how hard he pulls. Turning his head behind, it was Kuzumi with her pupils half silver being in her most active state.
Her hand was pure silver and was preparing to yank the trident out of his hand, and Muji was coming in for the kill, but out of nowhere, the shark eyes went utterly blue, and his trident flashed a blinding blue. He shook Kuzumi off and shot out of there faster than the three of them could react too.
"The hell was that about it?" Ju Jia question, but right then, they all heard a loud and booming voice accompanying by overwhelming pressure.
"Looks like judgment day has come for all of you!!"

      Cao Ang, who had successfully exchanged the banknotes, traveled to buy various modern products and found that
      "These products are very cheap. Is this going to be a profit?"
      Cao Ang looked at the price tags for products that were very low as if giving away free, including ready-made clothing stores that sell clothes at affordable prices and have a better quality than they are wearing. Cao Ang almost bought all the clothes. Cao Ang did not wait to change his clothes to be fashionable to match most people's looks in the city.         
      Industrial products have low production costs and are produced in large quantities. When combined with the quality of the product, these items almost immediately became items of the aristocracy.
      Many merchants coming from different cities Eyes sparkle, buy all the products.
      So cheap! Too cheap They scramble to buy products, fearing that if one item is missing, the profit will decrease. Merchants spend their money like a flowing river. If Zhao Ling Xin came to see this picture, he would have thought that the end of the world would happen until someone wanted to stock up on the goods.
      Even the mirrors are rare and very expensive. But the price of glass in Shenzhou was meager as if it were priceless. There was even a long mirror that could see the whole body. This mirror will definitely be a hit with the noble ladies.
      Calculating the profit that would be gained if these items were sold in their territory would be ten times greater. Seeing such a stable profit, the merchants were almost unable to hold back.
      An enormous amount of money quickly poured into Shenzhou. Products sold out of stock; the industrial factories of large companies tend to increase production lines. Construction of factories and hiring more workers          
      After these merchants returned to their own land, prosperity news and huge labor demand will make most of the population migrate even more to Shenzhou.
      After Cao Ang bought many products, he ordered the driver Xiao Zi to take the goods to storage. He was walking in the center of Shenzhou. Shenzhou's evening scenery is unlike any other. The streets are lit up, making Shenzhou a sleepless city.
      Shenzhou does not use large amounts of electricity among the people. But in the streets, electricity has been distributed to light the night. This made people who came to Shenzhou to look at the light bulb in amazement for the first time.          
      "The white color is much more diffused than a candle. Why did Shenzhou put such an exotic thing on the road?" Cao Ang murmured. In his opinion, the light bulb came out on its own. What is precious? Cao Ang did not know that the lamp he admired was surprisingly low in price.          
      During a walk in the lights, Cao Ang's eyes saw a store that was lit up, unlike others that had been closed.
      "Eh! Why is there such a luxury restaurant?" Cao Ang was stunned as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
      Because the restaurant in front of him was beyond imagination than any restaurant, just installing the lighting in the shop is quite rare. The walls and doors of the shop are also equipped with clear glass that can be seen through. Within a number of people were eating. 
      Dare to bring enormous precious mirrors as walls and doors
      Cao Ang accepted the courage of this restaurant. If it is Cao himself, if he has a mirror-like this, he will definitely not bring it outside. But will be kept in the treasury and take good care of it
      Cao Ang decided to walk into the store. He was a merchant, but he had a lot of cash. Since Cao Ang has experienced the convenience of banknotes Since then, Cao Ang has never carried silver coins again.
      Cao Ang walked into the shop. Inside, the shop is illuminated with artistic paintings.          
      "It is a high-end restaurant in the capital. Even Tongzhou or Qinghua don't have a store like this," said Cao Ang. 
      At that moment, a waiter dressed in polite clothes brought the menu to the front, along with introducing the details of the food. 
      Cao Ang looked at the menu covered in fine leather. Giving a feeling of luxury like a noble          
      "Hmmm, it's not that expensive." Cao Ang was a little surprised. The food here doesn't seem that expensive compared to the surrounding atmosphere. It is different from the high-class restaurants in Dongzhou, which cost much higher than this one. 
      Without a delay Cao Ang ordered a few dishes along with the peach liquor. The waiter brought a wine glass in front of Cao Ang.
      A beautiful glass of wine, which is sparse, as if breaking every time. And imagining the enormous price, Cao Ang hardly dared to touch it, afraid that this glass would break, even his breath didn't dare to drain it. Afraid to make this glass gloomy,
      The waiter poured peach blossom liquor to Cao Ang. The liquor that was clear and white as if it was water, Cao Ang, thought this shop had to deceive himself to bring some water. Because no liquor anywhere is so clear.
      Cao Ang wanted to prove his facts and raised a glass of peach liquor. As soon as the liquor flowed through his throat, a burning sensation appeared for a moment and then vanished without a trace. Appeared to be soft and gentle flowing through the stomach, the peach blossoms' sweetness hit the nostrils, showing a unique scent with an unforgettable taste.
      "Good wine," Cao Ang cried out in satisfaction.
      "Coming to the capital, this time did not fail. I have found the best liquor that is worthwhile."
      Cao Ang swore that he never encountered such a fine liquor before.
      Soon the food was ready to be eaten. The aroma of spices erupted into Cao Ang's nose. The five senses were empty. The delicious scent stimulates the salivary glands to work. A large amount of saliva was stimulated. Cao Ang's stomach cried out in full force.
      "Maybe it's time." Cao Ang picked up the chopsticks, eyes full of determination. As if a warrior picked up a weapon ready to enter the battlefield
      First, Cao Ang took the fish meat into his mouth. As soon as the fish enters the mouth and hits the tongue, it gradually decays softly, hiding the deep sea's taste. Blended with seasonings from seaweed, it quickly penetrated Cao Ang's cells.
      "This is it." Cao Ang's eyes lit up. The nectar of fish meat dissolves all over the mouth. The flavors that had never been experienced before were shattered throughout his mouth. This is a taste that will never be forgotten.
      "Tasty, delicious," Cao Ang,clamp another piece of red pork in his mouth.
      Smooth and tender pork can be bitten at once, and there is no bad smell of pork. Mixed with red water, full of sweet and salty taste perfectly. Not knowing if Cao Ang was thinking alone or not, his clothes seemed slightly pulled off. Cao Ang grabbed a bowl of rice and quickly poked the chopsticks. Each grain of rice is beautiful, unbreakable, well cooked.
      When great food is eaten with hot steamed rice, Cao Ang felt that he was about to ascend to heaven. The tiredness of traveling today has disappeared completely. Cao Ang quickly finished his rice and ordered another bottle of peach liquor.
      "So full, very full," Cao Ang patted the stomach, eating until the belly was spread. Today, he is delighted with the taste of the food.
      Of course, he did not forget to ask about the origin of this wonderful taste secretly. The waiter answered Cao Ang's question honestly.
      "So, does it mean that spices and seasoning powder are all on the market?" Asked Cao-Ang.
      "These condiments have been on the market for a few months and are very popular. Every house uses these ingredients," the waiter replied.
      After confirming the answer, he has secretly remembered these things in his heart. He set a goal to buy these condiments and sell them in Dongzhou. Cao Ang was confident that it would be trendy.
      Cao Ang paid for his meal before heading to his hotel room, awaiting the coming morning.

The Maxim machine gun shoots through magical beasts. Intercontinental ballistic missiles fired at Martial Artists. Fighter planes rise above the gods realm.

If you can't fight it, throw an atomic bomb for world peace.

"Are these the mirrors and cups brought by those barbarians?" A middle-aged man with a long beard was playing with a glass cup. There was also a silver mirror on the table beside him. 
"Yes, Sir." 
"It's hard to believe that that gang of barbarians could come up with such things," the middle-aged man said doubtfully.
"Sir, these are yours now."
"Well, not bad. Did you gain anything else?" 
"There were also 270,000 taels of silver, 17 mirrors, and 42 such cups…"
"Send it to the government treasury," the middle-aged said with a smile. Based on the selling price charged by those aboriginals over the past few days, these things were worth 700,000 taels of silver. The total value of these items was one million taels of silver, which was enough to equip at least 20,000 soldiers.
"Sir, will those barbarians take revenge?"
"Fear not. They are preoccupied with other matters, and their country might be exterminated if the situation gets worse. Furthermore, just today, the order has been given to mobilize the soldiers, and our city will contribute 10,000 troops," the middle-aged man said casually and waved his hand. With this one million taels of silver, even the loss of those 10,000 soldiers could easily be replenished. 
"In that case, we and Great Xia will combine to attack that bunch of barbarians. I'm afraid that they will not last long!" the subordinate said in surprise.
…
Boom!
At night, explosions rocked a location somewhere within the Great Xia Barracks, blasting apart the surrounding tents. In the tents, some soldiers died in their sleep while others were wounded, moaning and groaning from the intense pain they were suffering after being rudely awakened.
Soldiers from tents in the vicinity rushed out to remove the dead and carried the wounded to the casualty barracks before rushing back to their tents to rest with their clothes still on. However, they heard the sound of a distant roar before they could fall asleep. 
Yet, these soldiers didn't seem to hear it and fell into a deep slumber. 
Initially, they would get nervous, but they got used to it after some time. Over the past few nights, there were explosions every single night. If the explosion was somewhere nearby, they would go out to take a look. On the other hand, they ignored those that sounded far away. If they had to sleep, they slept, and if they had to dream, they dreamt. 
All the way until the early morning. 
Wu Shenghou dashed out of his tent with a sulky face.
He hadn't looked pleasant at all over these past few days.
Frustrated!
In his military career, he had never fought such a frustrating battle.
He knew long ago that it would be difficult to fight against Dayao, so much so that he had been planning it for the past 20 years. 
How many 20 year periods were there in a person's lifetime? He spent 20 years planning for an indeterminate event, which showcased his temperament.
No matter how powerful the aboriginals were, he was prepared and confident that he would certainly achieve victory in this war.
In the long run, the northern region of the aboriginals' territory would be lost. The Yun Nation would invade and the army in the south would rebel. At the same time, new soldiers from Great Xia would reinforce the front lines, and it would be time for those barbarian aboriginals to be chased back to the mountains.
The developments at the beginning of the war were within his expectations.
However, during the last 20 days, everything had changed.
The other side had somehow obtained some totally unfamiliar weapons which were very powerful and were especially devastating on the battlefield against ordinary soldiers.
A small thing lying unnoticed on the roadside was able to cause injuries and death to dozens of people or even up to 100 people.
At the beginning, he thought the other side did not have many of those weapons and would run out of them soon. However, the supply seemed to be endless as one weapon after another was used. Furthermore, their functions frequently changed.
As for the barracks on the battlefield, the thunderous sounds of explosions could always be heard regardless of whether it was day, night, in battle, while resting, or even when fetching water for cooking. These explosions would occur every few hours. As such, all the people in the central barracks were full of anxiety these day.
Especially when Great Xia was attacking, the other party would throw a small exploding ball after the attackers had advanced to a certain stage in order to break up the assault. Before the follow-up forces could arrive, the forces at the front would already be decimated.
These last few days, attacking the other party was ineffective. The number of casualties on Wu Shenghou's side were getting larger and larger. In contrast, the casualties on the other side was dwindling.
Every time he heard those explosive sounds during their attacks, he would know that the tempo of their attack was getting disrupted. 
There was absolutely no ease in directing the attacks compared to before.
The disruption of the attacks every few hours irritated him and caused his chest to tighten.
Plus, the morale on the battlefield was falling lower and lower, which was also another cause for concern.
If the other party didn't have those strange weapons, morale wouldn't have dropped so dramatically even after their attacks were temporarily thwarted. 
Yet now, they had to watch their every step when walking and looked at the sky when attacking.
This caused many soldiers to be at a loss.
The reason for him to persevere was basically so that he could achieve the strategic objective of this war and wait for the other two armies that were deep in Dayao's territory to achieve their expected goals.
At the same time, his indomitable spirit compelled him to see how many more strange weapons had yet to be deployed.
He didn't believe that the other party's supply of weapons would be endless.
… 
Wu Shenghou was in a bad mood, whereas Ren Baqian was in a good mood.
Ren Baqian went out every night to lay some mines and would then fire two shots at the enemy barracks. Seeing the Great Xia soldiers alternate between looking down and staring skyward when coming out of their barracks was a satisfying experience for him. 
This was especially so because the soldiers in the city treated him almost like a god now.
Although he wasn't physically strong, those weird things he brought played a big role in defending the city.
At present, there were still 80,000 Great Xia soldiers outside the city. Even with half of them injured or dead, they still had no intention of withdrawing. Ren Baqian felt that they wouldn't give up until their goal was achieved.
The situation in the city wasn't too good. After sending out 300 winged cavalry warriors to intercept the enemy's food supply line, there were 800 winged cavalry warriors and 3,000 soldiers left, which totaled to no more than 3,800 people. They had also already mobilized some of the commoners, who were here before the empress came, in order to help defend the city.
However, Ren Baqian wasn't too worried about these people who had been hardened by the experience of war. They only lacked some military knowledge, but they could form a new martial force. In terms of strength and courage, they weren't worse than the soldiers. 
In addition, Great Xia had two other armies in Dayao that were wreaking havoc. One of them had about 80,000 soldiers and had already invaded many strongholds by the time Ren Baqian arrived in Liao City. The casualties started to drop only after all the people in the strongholds had gathered in the cities.
Aside from this army, another force of 100,000 soldiers was doing the same thing. After reaping few benefits in the remote areas, these two groups began to attack the cities and had recently sacked two of them. 
The casualties among the defenders in these cities were high, but the casualties suffered by these two armies were also heavy.
In accordance with Ren Baqian's instructions, more than 3,000 defending guards were selected to defend a city, and even though the militia was formed, it was hard to get them battle-ready in such a short time. By virtue of their personal courage in defending the city and even with their much greater ability compared to the Great Xia soldiers, they still could not escape the destiny of being sacked.
There were already three cities that had been sacked these past few days, and the number of casualties wasn't any lower than 40,000.
It must be mentioned that the individual combat capability of the aboriginal commoners and the militia members was something to be proud of because they were able to inflict 60,000 casualties on the elite Great Xia troops.
This great loss was also the reason why the Great Xia soldiers didn't chase after the fleeing commoners after sacking the cities.
At the same time, the 3,500 drafted aboriginal soldiers were awaiting instructions to merge with the reinforcements from the Protectorate of the South in order to deal a fatal blow to the 120,000 Great Xia soldiers.
The reinforcements would join the 3,500 conscripts in seven days. It was a battle of 8,500 Dayao soldiers versus 120,000 Great Xia soldiers. 
Even if Great Xia won this battle, the remaining Dayao soldier would do nothing aside from withdrawing. 
Moreover, Great Xia still might lose the war. 
Ren Baqian strolled to the side hall of the city commander's residence where two radio stations were located. There was also another radio station taken by the winged cavalry that were intercepting the Great Xia soldiers. 
Ren Baqian went in and asked, "Is there any news yet?" 
"Not yet." The operators responsible for communications were the guards of the empress and Li Qianqiu.
Ren Baqian nodded his head and was about to turn to leave when he heard a rustling sound on the radio station, followed by a voice that said, "This is the Protectorate of the Northeast. Is Principal Ren there?" 
"Is he looking for me?" Ren Baqian was a bit uncertain, so he went back and replied, "This is Principal Ren. What's the matter?"
"Sir, it's Tang Feng." Another person was speaking over the radio station. 
"Aren't you in Great Xia? I was wondering whether you were back yet and didn't expect for you to be in the Protectorate of the Northeast." 
Ren Baqian was speaking the truth as he really had been wondering about the situation of the merchant caravans. However, it was hard to deliver messages because the radio station hadn't been brought over yet when the caravans departed. Although bird couriers could be used, they were mostly for intra-city communication. Moreover, these birds weren't cheap and the merchant caravans didn't have them. Ren Baqian could only hope that the caravans had nine lives and would come back safely with their money.
Currently, the supply of medicinal herbs had been cut, the empress was bankrupt, and the remaining money in her little imperial treasury was being used to maintain the palace and the guards.
"Sir, I am not the only one who is back, Old Gu is also back. However, he is still in bed and may not wake up for a couple of weeks," Tang Feng said.
Ren Baqian frowned, Old Gu was Gu Ziheng, who should have been in the Yun Nation at this time. Yet, even he was in the Protectorate of the Northeast? Had something happened?
After the war with Great Xia started, he knew that his mirrors and glass cups in Great Xia could be written off as a loss, so he could only depend on earning some taels of silver in the Yun Nation to recoup his losses. 
One had to know that without money, there wouldn't be medicine. Without medicine, he wouldn't be able to improve himself. This subsequently meant that he wouldn't be able to marry the empress, which was a grave matter. Was he trying to become a magician? 
"Sir, I couldn't bring the money back… I was robbed… I only managed to bring back 2,000 taels of gold, while the rest was snatched away. Old Gu was better than me, he barely manage to escape with 5,000 taels of gold. The rest of the goods and silver were stolen by the warlord of Qingfeng City. 
Ren Baqian opened his eyes wide when he heard this.
The money he depended on to cultivate was just stolen like this? 
The metal chain crawled out from the top of his head, slithered to the ground, wrapped around the stool at the side, and then raised it up high.
No one in the hall cared to look at Ren Baqian's expression. Instead, they looked at the metal chain that was flaunting its prowess by raising the stool. Every single one of them was amazed by this feat. 
"How much was stolen?" Ren Baqian squeezed some words out. He didn't want to talk about the unsold goods, but the money from the sold goods was his hard-earned money.
They actually dared to steal Dayao's money? How could this be tolerated!
"About 500,000 taels was stolen," answered Tang Feng as he mentioned this startling figure.
This was 1/14th of Dayao's annual income and equivalent to four years of income for the empress.
"Repeat the whole story. Who robbed you?" Ren Baqian gnashed his teeth in fury. 
"I escaped from Juruo City in Great Xia and the culprit was from the army. Old Gu escaped from the Yun Nation and the culprit was the warlord of Qingfeng City."
Ren Baqian just turned away after hearing this. He was pulling a stool along, but the sound of the stool hitting against the floor didn't attract his attention at all. 
"Your Majesty, your money has been stolen!"
The empress, who was watching a television series and eating popcorn, looked up in disbelief.
"Exactly one million taels!" Ren Baqian raised one finger.
The empress stared wide eyed.
"This includes the mirrors and glass cups that were given to the merchant caravans to be sold to raise money for the imperial treasury. A sum of exactly one million taels was stolen by the warlord of Qingfeng City in the Yun Nation!" 
Bang! The table in front of the empress was smashed the very next moment.
"Great Xia also stole a portion."
However, the empress didn't pay attention to this last sentence he said because her attention was totally focused on the one million taels that were supposed to replenish the treasury. The words "warlord of Qingfeng City" had already caught the empress's attention. 
"How dare he…" The empress's hair almost stood up on end, and she spoke each word through her gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, it looks like the Yun Nation is going to send its troops!" Ren Baqian said matter-of-factly. It could be deduced from this matter that the Yun Nation had already decided. Otherwise, how could a warlord of a city be so daring?
The empress sort of calmed down upon hearing this, but it was hard to pacify her fury. It had always been her robbing others, but this time, she had been robbed and the sum totalled one million taels.
One million taels could get many things done.
"However, before we settle with the Yun Nation, we can send experts to deal with the warlord of Qingfeng City first. We must punish this type of person who robbed us of our hard-earned money and confiscate their family's properties. It will be too slow if we wait until the Yun Nation is destroyed. We need to make the best use of our time," Ren Baqian raised his fist and said forcefully.
A war was a war, but it was hard to tolerate the feeling of being robbed! As for Great Xia, this debt would be settled later. Once the Great Xia army was destroyed, he would make sure that even the mice that entered the Great Xia treasury would shed tears when escaping. 
"Destroy his whole family!" The empress passed down a resolution.
"Family reunion!" Ren Baqian added.


In a world where its inhabitants can destroy a city wall single-handedly, the empress has a kirin as her pet, and the imperial palace of Great Xia has a pool containing a dragon. There is also a Sword Mountain where spirit swords occasionally leave in search of a master .

Bootlicking the empress, Ren Baqian ascended to the apex of life.　　

"Eldest Young Master is exceedingly clever, he's this small yet he can already eat on his own! Bai Shao, did you see it just now?" Song mama immediately recovered from her hatred and resentment, loudly laughing.
"I saw it! I saw it!" Bai Shao was overjoyed, hurriedly wiping away the milk from the corner of Eldest Young Master's mouth. "Second Young Master is now also six months old, but he can't stand up, can't sit up, can't crawl, and always wants the wet-nurse to hold him in her arms. She can't let it go, otherwise he will loudly wail. A good several times, he cried until he nearly died from lack of air. Now that's the behaviour of a fool!"
"A daughter needs to be raised in luxury, a son needs to be raised in poverty. Our Hou Household's Young Master could only have one wet-nurse at birth. When he became two years old he had to be weaned, when three years old he had to be independent; his bathing, washing, and wearing of clothes all couldn't be handled by other people. At five he entered school, at six learned martial arts. Our Hou family principles are righteous and distinguished, how many pillars and beams of the country had been forged by it..." Perhaps having recalled the current fallen state of the Hou Household, Song mama couldn't go on. She turned around to sneer, "Look at the bad seed that cheap whore is raising – four wet-nurses by his side, female servants in the dozens. He must not be cold, must not be hungry, even lifting his own arms and legs is too tiring for him. Moreover, after he grows up, he would still remain a wastrel!"
The little servant girl repeatedly nodded in agreement, and took out three silver spindles and several hundreds of coins from the parcel. She whispered, "mama, all this money is for our Peng Hao Courtyard's expenses. If it runs out one day, will Master really drive Eldest Young Master away?"
"Is there anything Wang Xianggan will not do? Merely driving Young Master away – I fear it's not that simple." Song mama fed him milk as she creased her eyebrows. Her whole body had a very gloomy atmosphere.
"I heard a brother* at a pillar say, say," The little girl wanted to speak but stopped.
*not blood related brother. A more accurate translation would be 'bro.'
"Say?" Song mother raised her eyebrows.
"He said that once, he heard the Empty Cloud Sect Master tell Master that since Eldest Young Master had returned to collect his debts, once the forty-two silver coins were used up, he would leave his fleshly body to be reborn again. He told Master to finish the funeral preparations. Master even hypocritically pretended to cry for a long while."
"Empty Cloud Sect Master, Wang Xianggan, aren't they all just birds of the same feather! One of them pretending to be a mysterious occultist, one of them inciting ghosts and committing sins. Sooner or later, there will be retribution!" Song mama put her index finger on her lips and warned, "This cannot be repeated in the future. Our Eldest Young Master will surely live for a long time. Although, although Young Lady had the same dream, but as long as this Soul Settling Mirror is here, and all expenditures are carefully managed, Young Master will be fine for a while. There is still plenty of time. What Young Master's fate truly is, we can slowly see, and slowly think of a solution. No matter what his origins are, since he was reincarnated into the belly of our young lady, he is our master."
"Bai Shao understands, Bai Shao will take good care of Eldest Young Master. These forty-two silver coins we can use more carefully, and use for a long time. My family can't even finish spending five liang of silver in a year."
"En, good child, quickly keep the money into the box and lock it, this is now all of our assets." Song mother touched the head of the little servant girl.
You Shu burped. In his heart he was afraid that his biological mother had also placed importance on that dream. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been fearful of revealing even her face from birth until now. His mother could not guarantee her own safety, his father was ruthless and uncaring; spoiling the concubine and suppressing the wife. And there was still that evil spirit lurking by his side, refusing to leave. He wanted to smoothly grow up, but it was truly a rather difficult task. Fortunately, the two people had brought over a few yin-yang mirrors, which could temporarily keep the demon in check. Furthermore, they were somewhat loyal to himself. It was great fortune amidst all the bad luck.
As he thought to that point, You Shu's eyes became glazed again. He was once again engrossed in meditation, and had long since dismissed the Empty Cloud Sect Master's assertion that he will die young.
After hanging up the soul mirrors, the Yin wind no longer patronised Peng Hao Courtyard. Instead, it was the people in other courtyards who – one after another – suffered from chills, dizziness, and swelling brains, fatigue, and other kinds of symptoms. In the beginning, no one cared. Until one day, even Concubine Lin was infected by this illness. Wang Xianggan then attached importance to it and invited the Empty Cloud Sect Master to investigate.
"乃是西面邪崇作祟."虚云观主指了指蓬蒿院的方向.
"It's the west side's haunting and harming." Empty Cloud Sect Master pointed in the direction of Peng Hao Courtyard.
Wang Xianggan's face blackened. He hurriedly asked, "Is there a way to end this?"
"First evict the evil spirit, then This Destitute Taoist* will do a ritual. Afterwards there will be no more issues." As Empty Cloud Sect Master flicked his horsetail whisk*, his entire image was that of a distinguished master.
*This Destitute Taoist: a humble way for a Taoist to refer to himself.
*Horsetail Whisk: A Taoist weapon
 
Wang Xianggan promised to do so repeatedly. He let the steward pack one hundred two liang of silver and handed them to a young Taoist disciple. Then he ordered people to take the Debt-collecting Ghost of Peng Hao Courtyard and send it far, far away to his hometown. After it has reached, he wouldn't even allow the ghost to enter his ancestral home, and will instead casually banish him to a rural village. Wang Xianggan's legitimate wife, née Song, fainted after hearing the news. When she woke up she cried and sobbed that she wanted her son. However, she heard the servant woman say that the young master had long since left.
On an old and shabby wagon, You Shu who had just turned one, was pinching a piece of walnut cake and slowly grinding at his new front teeth. Song mama held him, her facial expression extremely ugly. Bai Shao was gripping the money box and her eyes were slightly red. It could be seen that she had been crying previously.
"How can he be this ruthless? Really is a beast!" Song Mu mumbled to herself.
"More than that, he should be less than a beast!" Bai Yang added. Following that, she anxiously said, "mama, what are we going to do in the future?"
���Xin City* is Wang Xianggan's hometown. Now that the Wang family has, one after another, risen in power by relying on him, in Xin city the Wang Family is the local tyrant. Our means are little, strength is weak, going there can be considered as entering a tiger or wolf's lair. Née Lin's heart is hateful and her hands are eager. Once she gives the villagers a command or two, Young Master will be in danger. Give me a moment while I think, wait while I think." Song mama was distracted, as if her mind had no master.
*Xin City: Can also be translated as New City or New Town
"How about we bring along young master and escape!" Bai Shao tightly covered the money box, and suggested in a whisper.
Song mother silently pondered for a long time. Finally, she made her decision, "Alright, we'll escape! Fortunately, before we came to Peng Hao courtyard, Young Lady had already eliminated the other slaves. As long as we evade the Wang family's capture, our future days will be clean. We'll first safely and stably raise Eldest Young Master until he's big, then wait for him to succeed and return to meet the lady again."
You Shu's expression was slow and dull as he gritted his teeth. However, inside his heart he was secretly weighing the pros and cons. According to the current situation, there was a higher chance of surviving if they escaped than if they moved forwards to Xin City. Once he went to Xin City, he was meat on the chopping board. No matter how that so-called Concubine Lin wanted to torture and kill him, it would all be condoned. She could also kidnap him to control his mother. If he left, in this regard it would actually be a relief for his mother.
In that case, go! Thinking of this, he "yinyinyaya" yelled twice, and even used his small fist to hit the soft pillow beside him.
Song mama smiled as she saw this, then sighed. "Look, Eldest Young Master has also agreed. In that case, let us plan and discuss it well."
The pair planned. When they passed by a small town they let the coachman stop and carefully rested for a night. Fortunately, the Wang family did not care about the life and death of the young master, and only sent a steward and a coachman to follow. Song mama spent several hundreds to set up a table of good wine and good food. She invited the two people to enjoy it. During the banquet, she constantly urged the guests to drink wine and make speeches, until the two men were drunk to the point of intoxication. After that, she picked up the luggage and took off into the night with Bai Shao.
Since childhood, Song mama has grown up in the countryside. Driving a coach was no challenge for her, and with one night of effort they were already a thousand li* away. When the steward and the driver woke up, the money on their bodies had already been plundered. The people and coach were also no where to be seen. They wanted to send a letter to the main family, yet feared that telling the truth will get them beaten to death. So they simply fled as well.
*li: Ancient Chinese unit of measure, approximately equal to 500 meters.
For quite a long time, the Wang Family did not receive any news of the people arriving safely in Xin City, and could only send people to search. Finding the inn where the people had once stayed, only then did they discover they had scattered and fled. Wang Xianggan had disliked this son from the very beginning, and naturally didn't worry about his life and death. He put on an act and pretended to search for a few days then gave up. Concubine Lin was even happier to see her goal succeed, and said a good several nights of pillow talk. It led Wang Xianggan to directly wipe the Legitimate Son off the genealogy and use the excuse of 'death from a violent illness' to explain it to outsiders.
The only broken-hearted person in the Wang family was née Song, but when she carefully pondered over it in the dead of night, she understood Song mama's pains. She knew that if her son remained in the Wang family, sooner or later he would die. So why not leave. Since then, she closed her door to visitors, abstaining from meat and chanting prayers in hopes of accumulating some merit for her son, so that he can peacefully and safely grow up.
It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Song mama did not hide far away, and instead came to the Da Ming Dynasty's Longxing region, Liangzhou. Liangzhou was only a three day journey from the capital. The land it occupied wasn't large, but was extremely prosperous. The top families of the Da Ming Dynasty were mostly founded in Liangzhou, where they built their ancestral homes and sent people to meticulously look after. Therefore, Liangzhou's security was very tight. There were officers and soldiers patrolling the street all day. She expected that the Wang family would not have the courage, not to mention the face, to send people and brazenly look for someone here.
Song mama's guess was correct. The Wang Family indeed did not dare to let people swarm there and act mighty, and search in Liang Province where the city's arrangement was complex. Instead, they announced news that the Legitimate Son had died of a severe illness. As such, the several people stayed in Liang Province.
Song mama did not dare to lightly use the silvers left by the lady, and had her own and Bai Shao's valuables and jewelry sold away. She rented a farmhouse in the suburbs, at a place called Jade Water Village, and relied on embroidery to make a living
Unknowingly, You Shu had already grown to the age of five. Because Song mama had decided to cultivate the eldest young master's talents, and return to meet with the young lady in the future with the intentions of seeing the young lady able to hold her head high again, she basically did not dare to use the forty-two silver. Although living in the countryside wasn't very expensive, when young masters grew to six or seven years old, he could go to school. A year of schooling's courtesy gifts* to the teacher will cost five or six silver coins, not to mention the various expenses of future civil examinations. If only a child student or scholar was being nurtured, forty-two silver coins were enough, but to cultivate a champion, it would cost at least more than a hundred or two hundred liang of silver.
*courtesy gifts: In ancient China teachers did not accept official school fees in exchange for teaching a child because it was deemed as vulgar. The scholarly pursuit of knowledge and the impartation of knowledge should not be tainted by materialistic objects like money. Hence, the teachers accepted 'courtesy gifts' instead. These were given to the teacher by the parent or guardian of the child, as thanks for the teacher's mentorship.
Even if Song mama worked harder, she could earn at most one or two taels of silver coins in a year. So, there was still a need to scrimp on clothes and shrink meals. As such, the days passed very anxiously, what they wore were coarse linens, what they ate were a variety of grain types, and only at the end of the year could they taste a little bit of meat. Fortunately, You Shu had transmigrated from the last days. Towards his present life, not only did he not feel bitter, he was very satisfied. To him, being able to eat his fill was the greatest happiness. As for the rest, there was no need to bother.
However, there are always a few things that are unsatisfactory in the world. The present days were indeed much better than staying at the Wang Family, but that debt-collecting ghost had also followed them here. Song mama did not forget to take away several Yin-Yang mirrors when she left. Each of them she suspended in the rented courtyard. The first two years they really worked, but the debt-collecting ghost absorbed more Yang and slowly condensed a corporeal body. It was no longer afraid of mirror's reflected light. From time to time, it would inflict harm on You Shu.

Naoki leads me into a small empty room. The only thing inside the room was three mirrors which faced into a center point.
Naoki walks to the mirrors.
"These are magical mirrors. They test one's potential in magic. You'll stand in front of the mirrors while I cast magic onto them. Then, information about your powers will be displayed onto the center mirror. Let's get started."
"Okay."
I walk to the center of the mirrors. Standing there, Naoki walks to the mirrors and casts magic into them. Suddenly, the mirrors shine brightly.
After a bit, the shine fades away; however, nothing appears on the mirrors.
"Umm... Is it broken?"
"Hmm?"
Naoki walks in front of the mirrors and looks at the center mirror.
"Interesting... This only occurs if one's magic ability is too much or if they have zero potential. Let's try this."
He pulls out something from his pockets. It looks like a crystal ball.
"This is what we used beforehand. It has a bit more power so it can see one's ability a lot better. Put your hands onto it and cast magic into it."
"Okay..."
I put my hands onto the ball and send magical particules into it. It was really easy to do since I train with shadow magic.
After a second, the ball sparkles.
"Oh my! It usually takes five minutes before one can transfer magic into it. Oh! This shine is so bright! Another reason why we switch is that its magic capacity is so high. So when a normal magician inserts magic into it, the shine is dim, but yours..."
His eyes sparkles.
"Yours is so bright! It shows your magic abilities are extremely high. Ah... Ahem. The last test is your physical abilities. We allow the applicant to prove their ability in any way that want."
Hmm... What should I do then? I could just run a bit. Little boring but it should be effective.
"Okay, I'll run to the other side of the room."
I dashed to the other side in three seconds, leaving behind some wind.
Naoki stares.
"Does this work?"
"U-Uh... Yes! It should do fine... Follow me back to my office."
"Okay."
I followed Naoki back to his office.
"Ahem. Now I'll give you the basics on how the guild works and tell you your rank."
I nod.
"There are Seven ranks: Rock, Copper, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum, Hero. Each rank has three levels: 3, 2, 1. Based on the number of quests and their difficulty, you can rank up. If a Silver 1 ranks up, they'll become a Gold 3.
"You can only select quests in your rank or lower; however, selecting lower quests does not allow you to rank up. This can be bypassed if your in a group with the same levels or higher. For example, a group of four silvers 1's can do gold 3 quests. The majority of the ranks are counted toward the quest. The three adventures are diamond but one is copper, they can accept diamond quests.
"The majority of people are in the silver and gold rank. There a some in the diamond and platinum level. Only five adventures in the world are hero level. Now, your level..."
"In truth, I would want to create a rank higher than hero fro you but that requires the king's permission. You also need the king and the other hero's permission to be the rank hero. You need the king's permission to be the rank platinum too. Therefore, the only rank I can give you right now is diamond 1... Is that alright?"
I think for a moment. I rather start a lower rank so I can feel for the quests.
"Can I be rank silver 1 instead? I want to take a feel for the quest at an average perspective and then level up to a higher ranking to take on harder quests."
"Umm... Are you sure? I mean, your power..."
"Yeah, I'm sure."
The stares at me. "Okay, then... You'll start at silver 1. It takes a day for you to get your guild's card so you'll have to wait till tomorrow to start questing. Come back tomorrow and see me."
"Alright, thanks!"
I bow to show my appreciation. I left the guild, smiling at the female behind the counter as I left. After being outside and going to a more seclusive area, I teleport home.
"Ah... Tomorrow will start my real first day of questing!"
...
Now what? It's still midday so it's too early to sleep.
I sit on the ground, thinking about what I could do...
** Onishi Tomo's Point of View **
It's been a day since Akuma has left the school to go questing. I go through the motions of school, feeling a little depressed that I didn't go with Akuma...
'Remember... all for... a goal.'
Yes, the real reason why I didn't go with him is because of them. I have to report to them this afternoon, so I couldn't have gone with him. Still, it's a little sad. 
I wasn't really fond of the idea, but I couldn't disobey. Still, if the world is changed, then it's okay. Truth be told, I wanted both sides gone. 
School passes slowly. Afterward, I go out of the forest to a weird-looking tree. Waiting there is a young lady.
"You took your time. Well? What are the updates with that devil?"
"He... went... questing."
"He did now? Excellent! There should be many chances to anger him there. We might finish our goal sooner now... Did you get close with him?"
"Kind of... No romance..."
"Figures. I can't see you as an attractive person. I told the boss to get a more attractive person but your all we had. Being friends should be good enough."
I look down at her words, shouting angry thoughts about her in my mind.
"The boss got angry after you failed during the first attempt. This should ease her up. Heh. I can't wait to see the faces of the humans after the devil goes beserk!"
The female starts laughing... Her cloak hides her face but you could tell that she had a nasty smile that could make anyone shiver.
"Now... what?"
"Erm... You can't really do anything while he's gone. Just sit and wait. If he returns for any reason, inform me immediately. Oh, guess you can 'try' to seduce him again and do whatever... you do."
She snickers at that last remark. Then, she leaps into the air, disappearing from sight.
I sit there and stare at the sky, continuing to shout angry remarks in my mind.
...

Imai Akuma was about to go to sleep when he got an email from an unknown sender. The email included a questionnaire title, "What 10 things would you pick if you were suddenly transported to a new world?". After filling out the questionnaire and going to sleep, he wakes up in a cave with a different appearance. What happened to him and what will life bring his way?
