Synopsis

Magic is not real. Monster that defy logics should not exist. Yet, I cannot refute what is before my very eyes. What my mangled body has told me through painful experiences. What my dying mind has comprehended with my last willpower. The world that I have once lived in changed abruptly one day, and the new era dawned for the human race. It is done by the hands of those who are known as Rulers. They call it mercy, but I know it is a game to them. If they truly wish to help the human race, then there surely a better way than sacrificing billions to uplift the selected few. The Zoning Events was set in stone, and the dimensional barrier collapses, allowing the monsters that we could never hope to defeat with our current technology to enter our universe. Allowing horrifying worlds and landscapes to merge with our own. And through blood, sweat, and fear, we understand that our science cannot truly surpass the natural law of the universe. Only through magic, the human race might survive. Only through magic, a better future can be reached. Everything has its price, and no price is too great for the second chance. This is the story of the last Merchant. One Last Merchant. *** Disclaimer: This story contains graphical sex scenes and depictions of torture! Please enjoy!

Chapter 1Prologue

"You…! How dare you!? You are just a Merchant!"

I stare silently at the being who was once heralded as a God. No. Perhaps, it was even more powerful than the Gods themselves, for I have met Gods and ended plenty. What does that make me? Certainly not a God. I am… simply human.

"Everything has its price," I state. "Even your death has its price."

My eyes glow eerily, and my aura swirls menacingly. This is what I have achieved at the expense of all that I have loved. I wonder whether it is worth it. What do I have in the end after they are all dead? It certainly does not bring me any joy.

"Wait! Wait!"

There is certainly fear within its eyes. The same kind of fears that my eyes have long forgotten.

"I never imagine myself saying this, but I do not wish to bargain," I state flatly and activate my power, the only power that can truly kill a being beyond comprehension.

It screams fill the void, and within the next moment, it ceases to exist, in all of time and space. Yet, in spite of that, I feel so empty and hollow. More so than before since my only goal for existing no longer exist.

"Wealth of Knowledge," I activate one of my greatest powers. It allows me to know things that I would not have known otherwise. "Tell me. Is there a way to truly have what I desire most?"

I learn there is a way. A slim chance.

"Power of Money," I activate another one of my greatest powers. The powers that belong to my class, the Merchant. It is a unique class. "I will trade all that I have for his time. The Aspect of Time."

My wealth. My status. My possession. All vanishes. The only thing remains is me, and the knowledge that I have gained.

And in return, a person is summoned. He looks as human as I am, but there is great power dwelling in him, for he is an Aspect.

"You are not the first to do so, and you certainly will not be the last. I do have the power to grant you what you desire the most, but in exchange, I require your assistance in the near future," the Aspect of Time tells me before flickering out of existence once more, leaving behind an hourglass.

All that I have fought and earned only worth a fraction of his time, and in return, he would give me all of my time back.

I reach out and touch the hourglass, and the dimensional void fades away. I close my eyes for the first time in so long.

And I am able to hear. Hear a voice that I have not heard in so long.

"Hey Zan! Zan! Are you in there? Dude. If you die, can I have your PlayStation?"

My eyes slowly open, taking in the bright light of the infirmary. And despite my painful bruises, I laugh loudly and then grab hold of my best friend. He is real, and I have returned to the past.

"Woah. Woah! Not here. I'm not ready!"

Armipotent

This is a work of fiction, any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious! (Even the country in the story is just the author's fantasy as the author never visited those countries in the story) Armipotent is an archaic adjective meaning "strong in battle." Basically, it refers to someone who is physically tough in war. Originally, it was used to refer to the Roman god of war, Mars. ===================== Tang Shaoyang, an orphan who dropped out of the middle school to fight on the street as he found out school was useless for a penniless orphan like him. Tang Shaoyang dropped out of his school, fighting on the street, and made a name for himself. Berserker Tang from Youyouliucun. Afterward, Dragon Wing triad recruited him and everything was good for him. Even though the public deemed him as a tumor of society, Tang Shaoyang was having a decent life. Until one day, everything changed as an absurd and strange game started. "... Game starts! Stage one: Survival for The Fittest!" After the game started, zombies appeared out of nowhere. ... Ding! "You have killed 1000 zombies less than 24 hours since the game started! You gained 3 Talents!" Dong! "You may choose 3 Talents! please choose carefully!" Tang Shaoyang held his chin and mused what Talent he had to choose. "With Zombies appear everywhere, I need an infinite strength... this is one, I still need to choose 2 Talents more..." Then a lewd smile formed on his lips. "I want an infinite strength, charm and charisma to conquer women, and the last one, I want to upgrade my **** so I can please my women!" After saying this, Tang Shaoyang laughed aloud. "Hahaha, there's no way such talent exists... ehhhhh?!!!" Ding! Dong! "3 Talents are consumed! You have been granted Divine Body! Good Luck, Gamer Tang Shaoyang!" Tang Shaoyang immediately checked the detail of Divine Body. After a brief silence, he muttered unbelievably. "Such Talents really exist..."

First of all the chapters are way to short. They are like 400 words and that's just unacceptable in my book. You get into the chapters and boom its over not even a scroll. The chap takes like 1 minute to read. I don't know about u but this seriously annoys me because its hard to get into the "mood" / "setting". Secondly the flow of the story is so slow. Its been like 120 chapters and noting happened. He killed a few monsters and that's it. His personality is all over the place. Says he won't save them because it won't give him any benefits saves them anyway. Half helps them then leaves them hanging. Ether you save them or you don't don't do it halfway because then its just a ****ing waste of time. Has this way to let people become his employees "aka workers or slaves" so they can't tell anyone his secrets. Doesn't use it for like 100+ chapters. He isn't using his abilities to the "fullest" and that's so illogical. Like says hes priority is to save his mom. Doesn't do it for 100+ chapters because reasons & he likes to waste time for no reason. Has a shit ton of mono log for no FUCKING REASON LIKE EVERY CHAPTER. Fucked up the slow ass flow even more. Rough flow of what happened till chap 120ish, Comes back from the future & know that the "apocalypse" will happen Saves his friend & some other peeps and puts them on hold (now we are at like chap 10-15) Now he leaves them to save is mom i think that was the reason. Kills a few monsters (takes like 1-2 cha**) Runs in to this girl who has a big role in the future. Follows her for some reason. Fights a bit more (1-2-3) chaps Sells some items to system Finds base where it its assumed his mother is. Goes inside with the click from the girl (army) This is all that happened in 120 chapters. You might say WOW that's allot. But let me tell you something its not like more then half the chapters until now are like shitty mono-log inside MC head or some other useless chitchat we don't ****ing need but takes up words that are already in short demand in his chapters. Like I seriously don't know how to convay my disappointment in this story. If Master of time is a 5 this is a 2 at most. Might be one of his worst books I have read of this author. Also lets talk about the tags. Its been like 120 chaps so we should have a feeling for the tags until now. #R-18 -> No, Where he has not even looked at a girl except his old gf in the first few chapters #System -> Sure but its a system where everyone can see his system prompt. (Well we the readers can't see it because author doesn't even show it) #Harem -> Nope, MC hasn't even show intention towards anyone let alone more then one. (So if your here looking for R18 & harem, your shit out of luck just like me) #Overpowered MC -> Well hard to say author keeps saying he is overpowered and all but in reality we haven't seen MC use his powers really. Also he puts all his stat-points in Charisma (weird right) So will he be as weak as a normal human for the rest of the novel? Who knows lets find out later I guess because all he did was kill some monsters with a gun. So I don't know if you call this overpowered. I don't even know how author is going to pull of saying that MC is super overpowered and all when all he has are normal human stats. Sure he can craft guns & magic but soon everyone will be able to do that so what abut MC. How will he handle someone who is like 50 x his speed how will author pull of saying he will be able to "kill" the guy when he will be so fast. So we don't really know yet. The only overpowered thing might be his knowledge & his skills that are still LOCKED. # Merchant MC -> Sure he is a merchant. #Survival -> words seems a bit stale for now. But lets find out later I guess. #Historical -> don't really know what to make of this tag. #Ruthless MC -> kinda but then again he did save all those people for no fucking reason. #Opportunistic MC -> Sure he won't leave the chance to make some money. #Villainous MC -> 50/50 We still need to see he is not really villainous for now. So all in all its not bad I'm just disappointed in the author. Writing Quality ⭐⭐⭐ its ok. Stability of Updates⭐⭐ Looked fast in the beginning but it looks like it slowed down allot. He updates like 400 words like every two days. That's the same as like one normal chapter a week that's so slow. Story Development⭐⭐ Meh noting really happened until now Character Design⭐⭐ Noting special. (would like a more decisive MC) World Background ⭐⭐ ⭐ Normal. So all in all its really noting special. Ill keep updating this review in the comments.
