For the next two hours, I wandered all over the town. During my trip, I've encountered numerous quests. They are mostly gather quests, delivery quests, and kill quests. I'm mostly done with the delivery quests as most of it only required to deliver things within the town. As a result I've gained 7 silvers, some common equips and a map of the map and its surroundings. I was also quite lucky and managed to learn some basic Berserker skills from an NPC. 
[Charge] (Active Skill)
Charges toward a target, stunning the target for 2 seconds.
Cooldown time: 30 seconds. Range: 3-10 meters.
[Force Strike] (Active Skill)
Performs a powerful strike on the target immediately, dealing 100% of melee damage with a 5% chance to trigger an additional attack.
Right now, I'm in the Black Market. Hearing the rules of the challenge, I've immediately remembered this from the novel. From what I remember, a successful attempt would result in a high level skill book. There is also a chance of acquiring a dark gold item.
I readily accepted the challenge and prepared myself to dodge the incoming bullets. As the timer reached zero, I immediately dashed away from the starting line.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Multiple gunshots echoed in my surroundings. Despite that, I kept my focus and dashed towards the finish line.
As soon as I went past 25 yards, the gnomes used automatic muskets and begun to fire wildly.
I moved in zigzag motion while using my sword to deflect some of the bullets. When I was near the finish line, I saw one of the gnomes attempting to change guns. To prevent that, I immediately dive rolled towards the finish line
Total time spent: 15 seconds. Estimated record time of 18 seconds for Copper Prize broken.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, a round of applause! This Warrior has passed the challenge!" The Gnome administrator announced loudly.
System: Player was the First to pass the Copper Challenge and break the record. Rewarding player with 1 Silver Coin and Berserker Skill [Thunder Strike].
After completing the copper prize challenge, I proceeded to try the silver prize challenge. The silver prize challenge was a lot harder than the copper one. Instead of three gnomes, there were 5 gnomes shooting at me. Additionally, at the last part of the challenge, they even used a gun that shoots out blasts of magic. Fortunately, I was able to act fast and managed to complete the challenge. Upon completion, the gnomes awarded me with another skill book.
I immediately looked at my bag and searched for the awarded skill books.
[Thunder Strike] (Action-type)
Requires: Melee Weapon
Borrows the power of thunder to deliver a powerful strike onto the ground, dealing 100% physical damage to all surrounding enemies. Inflicted targets will have 50% speed reduction for 5 seconds. This skill will generate a large amount of aggro. Rage cost: 20 Cooldown time: 8 seconds
[Eagle Eye] (Passive) 
You now have the ability to thoroughly search the enemy's weak points. All attacks will now ignore 50% enemy defense. 
I quickly celebrated upon reading the skill descriptions, thinking of how useful these two are. Without a second thought, I clicked and learned the skills.
After leaving the black market, I continued to do one of the delivery quests. Upon completion, I finished the quest and was rewarded with a Cooking Skill and another quest. This quest requires me to bring a parcel to a person living in the Dark Moon Valley. Before going outside the city, I bought some stock of food, potions, bandages, as well as some other useful items.
During my travel to Dark Moon Valley, I've killed some monsters increasing my level to level 3.
At this moment, I've already reached the quest destination. Looking around, I found a smithy beside the flowing creek. There also three humans present within the clearing; two players and an NPC. The NPC wielded a steel hammer and was hammering at a crimson ore.
I nodded at the two players in greeting and went towards the NPC.
"Master Jack, Mr. Butch asked me to deliver a parcel for you."
"..."
"Master Jack?"
"..."
Seeing the NPC ignore me, I joined the two players standing at the side.
"Hey, do any of you two know how I can complete this quest. The NPC keeps ignoring me."
One of players answered me. "I think we just need to wait. We're already standing here for quite a while."
"I guess I have no choice but to wait, huh." I muttered to myself
"Yeah, Oh, I am Black Cloud, a Cursemancer, and this here is my friend Ye Feng, a Swordsman."
I became dazed hearing their names. Isn't Ye Feng and Black Cloud the ign of Shi Feng and Blackie? I did not think that I would meet them this early.
Before delving deeper into my thoughts, I greeted them back.
"I am DarkNorth, a Berserker."
Time slowly flowed by, bit by bit. While waiting, we made some small conversations to avoid dying of boredom. After almost 30 minutes, Blackie can't hold on any longer and complained to Ye Feng.
"Brother Feng, are we still going to wait? It's already been half an hour now." Blackie said.
"We have to wait. Without patience, he won't give us the Quest." Shi Feng affirmed.
"Ye Feng, you're a Beta Tester?" I asked him just to make a conversation
"No, I just have some more information regarding the game." Answered Shi Feng
"Then, can you tell me what quest will he give us?" I asked them. My memories of the early chapters of this novel were already fuzzy. Honestly, I skipped most of the details when I was reading the novel.
"It's a quest about killing some monsters. At the end, he'll teach us forging and award us a title related to forging."
"Oh, that's useful"
We continued talking with each other. We've also discussed of our experiences in the game. After some time, the NPC suddenly asked. "Do you three have an interest in Forging?"
"Yes, sir. We've loved Forging since we were young." Shi Feng immediately said.
The middle-aged blacksmith nodded his head, saying in a satisfied tone, "Then since you love Forging, I can teach it to you. But first, could you help me retrieve 100 pieces of Meteorite Ore? They can be found on the West side of Crimson Star Mine."
"Of course. We would gladly be at your service." Shi Feng respectfully answered.
System: Hidden Quest 'Road Of Forging' accepted. Player is requested by Forging Master Jack to obtain 100 pieces of Meteorite Ore from Crimson Star Mine.
"Hey, is it alright if I join the two of you? It would be more convenient if the three of us teamed up to gather these ores as there are a lot of monsters in that area."
Blackie looked at Ye Feng asking for an answer. Upon seeing him nod, he added me to the party excitedly. 
///
Crimson Star Mine was the nest of Level 4 Kobolds. These monsters loved ore the most. They would spend every day mining within the mines. As such, Kobolds were born with great strength. However, they had short limbs. Because they stayed underground for long periods of time, their range of vision was short. They could only detect enemies within a 35-yard distance. This distance was also the maximum range of attack for a mage.
There were many Kobolds walking around the mine's entrance. An entire group of them would be attracted even if only one of them was attacked.
[Kobold]
Level 4
HP 420
"Here. First, have some food and drink to fill ourselves. We'll start work after that." Shi Feng brought out and handed us a Black Steel Beer and an Apple Pie.
Upon eating the apple pie, all of my attributes increased by one point. Additionally, because of the Black Steel Beer, my vision started becoming hazy. When I looked at the distant Level 4 Kobolds, their Levels were suddenly reduced by 2; becoming Level 2.
Seeing that phenomena, I quickly asked Shi Feng "Huh, aren't they level 4 monsters? How come they suddenly became level 2?" 
"Some food items produce special effects. For example, there are even food items that would increase a player's luck."
I became quite shocked hearing this. When I was reading the novel, I just ignored this effect. However, seeing its capabilities, I found out how useful it is. Imagine if I get my hands on a food item that would allow me to solo a Lord rank boss. The thought of its drops made me drool in anticipation.
"It seems like Cooking is quite useful." Answered Blackie
"Alright, let's start then. A bottle of Black Steel Beer's drunken effect only lasts 30 minutes." Shi Feng stood up. He took out a Smoke Bomb and walked closer to the mine's entrance. Then, he threw it at the group of Level 4 Kobolds; there were currently over ten of them there.

A man was sent to the world of RSSG with some wishes. Read as how he became famous in God's Domain

I do not own any anime, manga, and novels mentioned in this fic.

I'm only writing for fun

Feng returned back to the lower Arcadia district. Here and there many food stalls are set in the surrounding.

Feng found the system avatar eating Cotton Candy. So he went towards the system and started excitedly explaining his solo-Venture, and how he won the PvP match. 

The system attentively listened, then concluded how to make his host even more powerful.

The system waved a hand creating a wall made of codes to block peeping toms. This was a systematic way to protect his Host from external threats.

"Host can still make the innate ability of Binge Eater «Ice curtain» even more powerful by changing your mix elemental Mana and Pure Mana to Ice elemental mana" 

Feng understood that system is telling him to excrete all the other elemental types of mana and Pure Mana out from his body and then refill the sea of consciousness with Ice elemental mana!

"But purifying mana from all other unnecessary element is a task which only Astral master can perform" Feng asked, he naturally have read information about Astral cultivation in the library!

In the book about Astral cultivation, He has red a line written thrice in Red and Huge words. The words Only said that Astral warrior should never try to purify their mana. It also said that this task should only be performed by a cultivator after he or she ascent to the Astral Master stage.

"It is so because other awakens their Astral soul only after they have awakened their second orange-color power of soul and absorbed more than 200 units of mana inside their sea of consciousness. Basically, a normal Astral warrior awakens his Astral soul when he is more than 70% on his way to breaking through to Astral master! But Host, Thanks to your special circumstances being Blessed by the Void, you have directly awakened the Astral soul, right after becoming an Astral warrior" The system Explained.

"I get it" Feng replied. He needed to purify his mana but before that he needed to buy ice elemental crystal.
 
 He has awaited Yina friend request, but haven't received one. He believed it was all because he has terrified the poor lass by exploding her brain!

Feng understood that he will probably never become popular with the girls unless he control his bestial nature that took over him when he had a Fight on *equal level*.

Feng himself sends Yina a friend request together with a private message. The private message contained how sorry he is and how he hopes that Yina will forgive him etc

Feng then pulled out the FAQ, the book which system have given to him when he first came to the Virtual fantastic world!

This book contained a lot of information about Astral haven and also Virtual fantasia.

Feng had been busy fighting other opponents and hence haven't read this book entirely.

Feng didn't read the entire book but only focused on information related to Astral warriors and their power of the soul, the bronze ranking board, and the way Perfect mana paper currency could be used to trade for the elemental crystal.

Yes, he has decided to not use the system and overload his brain with each and every single detail contained in this book. He knew that System also had the same intent or else system would have informed him about pouring all the knowledge in his head, instead of passing him the book!"

Feng opened the book to start reading it. The system has made it through great details and virtual craftsmanship. 

The book didn't have pages but a blank void in place of them. But the moment Feng thought about his question the book showed the answer! 

Feng without even asking the system, realized that it will show the information that he needed!

Soon Feng found about new multiple stuff.

1 Pure mana-paper currency containing 1 unit of pure mana can be exchange for 1 Elemental crystal/stone, containing 1 unit of elemental mana belonging to any elemental.

He also came face to face with the importance of the PvP Bronze ranking board.

There too was a huge reason as to why winning matters in the bronze ranking board.

 All of it was to reach the top position of the ranking board and be able to earn the reward given to the first position holder.

Any person who manages to reach the First position will reach 10 2-star Power of soul potions!

Feng now wanted to win because he wanted to reach the First position of this Bronze-ranking board. And the only way to become the TOP PvP player was to beat The current top ranker!

Not anyone could challenge the top ranker, as only those in the Top 20 position were allowed to bug the Al-mighty top ranker for a fight! 

But there was another way. This way was popularly called as the *Path of the dark horse*. Any bronze-ranker that managed to Win 100 battles without losing even once in between those 100 matches will obtain a chance to directly challenge the top-ranked!

Feng has only won a single match, hence he needed to win 99 more! Newfound goal and obtaining Power of soul potion that will increase his second Power of soul derived Feng to become powerful and make such a feat possible! 

Feng then started reading the information 2-star potion and its effect. 

The 2-star Power of soul potion is a potion that is used to increase the nascent(just formed) Orange-coloured Power of soul of Astral Warriors by 1 point and not only that drinking two of them can also help an Astral warrior with 10 points in his Orange-coloured power of soul to increase by 1 point and reaching 11 points!

11 points orange-colored power of soul is tinted with red dots! Meaning that it has undergone a qualitative change.

Just like the first power of the soul, the red colored one that gets tinted with the seven colors of the rainbow after ten points. The second power of the soul also gets tinted with the seven colors of the rainbow after it is strengthened to 10 points.

At 11 points, the Orange colored power of soul will be tinted with red dots and as the points increase so with the color of dot change to organs, green, blue, etc... until it is tinted with a violet color or basically the power of soul being increased to 17 points.

Feng obtained the information he needed about the currency, Power of soul of Astral warrior, and the way the Bronze ranking board works.

He stood up, walking away from the system avatar that is still eating cotton candy, and returned back to blue space.

The starting point where the portal to different district is located.

Astral haven, a world around which exist all other world exists. It is the world in which people use mana and train the power of the soul to open their sea of consciousness and awaken their Astral soul!

It is also buried beneath a massive conspiracy.

In this World, a person appears his name, Feng Mei!

Feng Mei a college graduate from modern Earth‚ opens his eyes to suddenly find himself standing near a cliff as a monotone voice of his golden finger rang in his head.

"Either Get your head Decapitated or jump down the cliff"


A mixture of bits of comedy, riddle, magical technology(appears after chapter40), poems!

A boy who was the Lord of Darkness of the Nation became the world best Assassin and friend of the kingdom's princess.

how they wil end up? who knows.

SayaShin and Mizarin logged back into the game later than expected, the group of druids and priests left the Holy Land after collecting more than 3000 flowers harvesting and purchasing some, after that they went to the Druid's Garden. The Priests, in particular, were surprised when the Druids took a set of yet another Orb and transported them within seconds.

"Mizarin, Let's finish the Alchemist quest." SayaShin

"Did you know, the Alchemist doesn't collect the items, he just inspects them... why do you think is that?" Mizarin 

"I don't know... you tell me, your from this place." SayaShin 

"Hehe... If you sell him some items, you will receive the recognition reward, a growth type cauldron. I heard." Mizarin 

While these two are having this conversation, they were slowly heading to the Alchemist in front of the Temple.

"Greetings, Elder. We would wish to submit ourselves and be evaluated in becoming an Alchemist." Mizarin 

"Step forward young ones, on to the magic circle and receive judgment."-Soraysya said gesturing for the two to step on the magic circle engraved on the ground.

"Mizarin, What's the use of the Void Beast Sealing Orb and the Time Loop Talisman?"SayaShin 

"The Void Beast Sealing Orb is as it says, it is used to seal and Contain A Void Beast... The Talisman is used to Trap the Boss inside a time loop, just like the Skill [Temple of Time], it prevents Beast from entering or leaving. Mixing all three together, using it against the boss, what do we have?" Mizarin 

" I don't understand where you're going at." SayaShin 

"You can't kill the Boss Miniature Void Beast, That is why everyone always runs away from it. Do you think there is anybody that can contain such an immense amount of void energy in an instant?" Mizarin 

"None?"SayaShin 

"None! So we seal it into the Temple of Time amplifying it with the talisman, Contain it into the Void Sealing Orb." Mizarin 

"Is that the normal way or is that your special way?" SayaShin 

"It's my special way, once the boss is sealed it is considered; killed. The Void Beast Sealing Orb can contain it. If used properly, you can have an infinite amount of Void Energy. Usually, players just seal any random Void Beast, some brave souls, allow the Void Beasts to amass Void energy, sealing Void beast from the fourth floor. But for me, it's best used against the Boss since the items are Unique and one time use, other than the Orb."

"Are we going to wait for the others or we make on another group?"SayaShin

"Let's wait for the others, I don't want the information on the Void Vials to become public yet. Besides the next Void Temple is at level 100."Mizarin

"So what's our next step?"SayaShin 

"To the BlackSmith, we go!" Mizarin 

"Why are you going to the BlackSmith aren't you going to the Tailor or the Woodworker?" SayaShin 

"Not yet, we will wait for the others to come. I'm going to the Royal Training Camp to inquire about hatching an Egg. I will leave you there afterward, and look for High-Quality Thread and Cloths." Mizarin 

"Okay..." SayaShin 

The Two Orb users Teleported to the Royal Training Grounds and headed to the BlackSmiths Workshop. 

On their way to the Warriors, Barracks SayaShin stoped in-front of a player store just sitting in the corner of the gate. What made him stop was not the items on the table, but the name of the store, Strange Transformation Skill Book(1/4) for sale.

"Mizarin lets check that store over there first. I need to confirm something." SayaShin said pointing to the secluded store.

"Ohh... Wait, that store's name, I'm sure I have read it somewhere."Mizarin 

"Bro. How much are you selling the book for?" SayaShin Said to the store owned garbed in a full set of steel armor, helmet covering the face, and a sword hanging at the waist.

"With just the two of you, I don't think you can purchase it." The Swordsman said.

"Name your price!" SayaShin said with urgency on his voice

"A rescue mission. My friend who has the book is currently being camped out at the BlackSmiths workshop, By at least 6 rangers, 8 Knights, and 4 Guardians... Do you think you can do it, if not... Then thank you..." the Swordsman said with disappointment. The person was hoping that the Druid who massacred the group before would show up once again and take care of the arrogant pricks that are camping his friend.

"SayaShin, What's so important about that Book anyway?" Mizarin 

"It's the last piece I need to unseal the Skill Book that I have." SayaShin 

"Who is this friend of yours that needs rescuing. describe the facial features or anything that will give him away." Mizarin 

"Just the two of you?" Swordsman

"You just need the person extracted from the Workshop right?" Mizarin 

"The Workshop itself is a resurrection point so killing would not do anything!" Swordsman 

"We just need to get the client out. If you are going to wait, better do it at the town's gate." Mizarin 

"The person is the only Shaman inside the Shop." Swordsman 

"This person is a full-fledged shaman right, not a trainee shaman?" Mizarin 

"Yes!" Swordsman 

"What does that give us?"SayaShin 

"It's plenty enough... you'll see when we get there... By the way, I've been meaning to ask this... Why can't you transform into a wolf, I never saw you transform since I joined the team?" Mizarin asked as she led SayaShin to the barracks.

"The Wolf Spirit within me was dead, and Anna extracted it from me. The sealed skill book was one of the inheritances I gained from the beast's corpse, along with a spirit crystal and Fur." SayaShin 

"Ohh... okay, let's get that skill unsealed and see what it contains." Mizarin 

After a few minutes of walking, Mizarin pulled SayaShin to a shop just a few buildings away from the rangers training grounds.inside was a collection of torture pieces of equipment and some skill books.

"Do you sell Egg hatching spells and pet taming Skill book?"Mizarin 

"If you are looking to hatch and tame a pet from an Egg, you will also need a contractors seal. The skill will only be usable after you have finished your career selection. Do you still wish to purchase?" Store NPC

"Yes! A set for each of us." Mizarin 

"That would cost you a thousand Gold each." Store NPC

"Wahh... it's so expensive."SayaShin 

"What do you expect, we're not getting the sub-class so it's a reasonable price... let's go rescuing." Mizarin 

Inside the Workshop, SayaShin and Mizarin were having a casual conversation.

"It's so hot in here..." SayaShin observed

"Look at those Elementals, and some Sorcerers too..." Mizarin stated

While having this conversation, A group of players who seemed to be a beginner BlackSmith Approached them.

"What Brings Brother and Sister Oracles here?" A Knight covered in golden armor said

"We are looking for someone." SayaShin

"You don't happen to be looking for a Shaman are you?" Gold Knight Asked.

"Stop bothering everyone with that stupid question... They are here for the Grandmaster BlackSmith... Just a piece of advice, before you enter, make sure you have the materials for the quest. Those people will not let you leave here alive... The Grandmaster is that NPC over there at the back with a bottle of booze." Said a man with the light of white and black hovering over the shoulders.

[Message: Is that the client?-SayaShin]

[Message: Yup! That's the client.-Mizarin ]

The two were, of course, not the first to come to the shop, but they were the first not to announce their purpose.

"Thanks, friend... We're here to take the quest. So if you please let us through, then we'll be on our way."-SayaShin 

"Go ahead then, but don't think you can come out of this place if you do any funny business." Golden Knights minion said.

"Sure! Sure! Whatever you say." Mizarin reciprocated the arrogance in their tone.

"I'll go and get the quest," SayaShin said jogging towards the NPC.

"Okay..." Mizarin answered heading towards the Shaman saying: " Thanks for the warning friend. I'm Mizarin, What's yours?" This was roundabout way SayaShin suggested in approaching the target.

"The name is Blissful." The Shaman Said

"Nice to meet you Blissful," Mizarin said winking

[Syestem: A friend request from Mizarin.<Accept><Decline>]

"Accept" Blissful said whispering.

[A friend of yours sent us. Price is the Strange Transformation Skill book. First, I want to know, if that thing came from anyone who's spirit beast died, a Boss drop, or item that can be bought. Our method of extraction depends on your answer.] Mizarin sent, the last phrase was just an empty threat.

[Item was a Rare Boss Drop, I can't tell you where it was obtained.] Blissful replied

[That's good enough. We will leave once my friend finishes his quest. Tell your friend waiting at the front gate; We'll take our time. At least an hour should be enough.] Mizarin posted, to which Blissful immediately sent the message.

[Did they really go there? That book must really be important to them to go there just like that.] The Knight at the front gate replied

[No! They are originally here for the BlackSmiths quest, the book just happened to be a rare drop that they want.] Blissful corrected

[Really? I thought that the book you hold was the last piece they need, it's just that they can't leave carelessly since I told them that the people are camping you out.] Knight informed

Mizarin left the Shaman alone after the brief introductions, to show a hint of gratitude and dispel the suspicions on the eye of the onlookers.

While Mizarin was performing the diversionary attempt, SayaShin headed to the BlackSmith to obtain the quest for the Sub-Class.

"Great master, I have traveled far in the search of you. Will thee allow me to become thees apprentice?" SayaShin said reading the script from the system.

"Oh... Does a young Vates want to become more than what he already is?... Hick." The BlackSmith said in a drunken voice.

"I wish to obtain the knowledge and skill from many masters, and gain insight to develop my own," SayaShin said.

"Very well, prove to me you are worthy of my tutelage!" The smith said.

[System: You have gained the notice of the Great BlackSmith; Brahmin. You can't deny his request.]

[Quest: BlackSmith's Request
-Prove you have the talent for the craft.
Extract Minerals from Mineral Ores (0/10)
Refine Raw Materials for production (0/10)
Produce High-Quality Ingredients (0/10)
Produce High-Quality Ingots(0/10)
Failure will Bar you from ever acquiring the Sub-Class]

To anyone who sees the requirements, it seemed easy at first sight, but the fact that it requires a high-quality assessment, it is the hardest Sub-Class to challenge.

"Are you finished with the chitchat?" Mizarin interrupted

"Ohh... Yes... But aren't this requirements too steep?<Attachment>"SayaShin 

"Not that I care, besides were aiming for the best quality if it didn't look for the best than what a joke would it be if just anyone can get that weapon socketing skill?" Mizarin provided

"To that spot then," Sayashin said motioning to the corner table near the secluded Shaman.

Mizarin Cast the Spell [Temple Of Time] enclosing SayaShin inside, casting a second spell [Obscure] to the pavilion.

The onlookers were stunned and boggled with this action that the Oracle took. She did this of course to hide the fact that the materials they had were high energy materials, and the void materials that are currently hot in the market going to waste just for practice.

"Let's begin!" Said Mizarin 

"Okay... I've already started." When Mizarin heard SayaShin's confirmation, she equipped her weapons; Light Orb, Grimoire, and Twin Iron Fan. Started casting simultaneous magic circles in the air, and moved from one corner to another striking the continuously appearing enchantments, this was the Grimoire-Kagome Dance.

10 minutes... 20 minutes... 30 minutes... Break... and continue the intense workout of the two, pounding and stomping. Any onlookers would be amazed to see such a sight.

'How could these two be able to have inexhaustible mana?'

'How high is their spell proficiency?'

'Aren't they tired yet, doing the same thing over and over?'

While the spectators were having such thoughts, SayaShin finally received the long-awaited Quest development.

What is it that keeps you alive?

What is it that wakes you up in the morning?

Why do you get out of bed?

Existential question’s that only a few can answer in the length of a breath.
-----------------------------------------------

It has been 200 years since the greatest change in society. A change from education inside classrooms into virtual reality. It is now a transition to a world where anyone can learn anything, and obtain any skill that would usually cost you more than an electric bill.

A pair of childhood friends; Sai Sherman And Izen Miray, both scholarly adulting individuals are about to venture into the new world through a game called CELESTIAL. They try their best to prepare to survive the challenges that the world will bring, adventuring in the virtual reality world they search their calling, cultivate their talents, and meet people good and bad along the way. 

What changes will this life of searching bring these two hatchlings that yearn to fly out of their nest’s, and longing to see the world beyond? How will these two answer these questions of life? When will they truly be prepared? What keeps them living?

Join them in their search for the meaning of life...
-----------------------------------------------

How about you?

Have you asked yourself: What is “My Life Support?”

At Hell Ledge, countless people from Darkness Port participated in the Hell Ledge Challenge before, but it still remained as the most mysterious place.
The only thing known about the Hell Ledge Challenge was that one must go to the third level of the cabin area and the stationed troops would bring the challenger across a long corridor into a mysterious place to start the challenge.
The so-called challenge was held in a large space. Everyone had different encounters in the space, and whenever one succeeded the first challenge, he would advance further down to the next challenge.
Someone once described the challenge as climbing an upside-down tower. The challenger would go down level by level in the massive tower.
Aside from the difficulty of the challenges, the reason why the Hell Ledge Challenge was mysterious was that no matter how familiar one was with Darkness Port, it was difficult to pinpoint the location of the challenge.
Was it inside the flat-topped mountain? At the ledge of the cliff? No, neither of them were the right locations because there was simply no space big enough to hold the challenge. Some even assumed that the space was imaginary and that it was just a trick of the human brain while the spaciousness was just an illusion.
Boss Huang did not write his explanation in the book this time, but there were some little scribbles beside it. 'Space? Dream imitation?' The little scribbles with the question marks represented the doubts in his heart.
Tang Ling originally did not resonate with the challenge, but when he saw the word 'dream imitation', his urge got the best of him. He asked Boss Huang, "Boss, do you think they are creating a dream imitation?"
It was impossible for either of them to hide the fact that they were Dream Seeds, so it was only natural for them to talk about the Dream World sooner or later.
Boss Huang was also straightforward with his answer. "That's what I am suspecting, but why?"
Tang Ling frowned. Yeah, why? What's the purpose of creating a dream imitation?
Unfortunately, it was not a question that he could answer at the moment. He was done with 'An In-depth Introduction to Darkness Port'. In summary, the contents of the book were mostly about trivial stuff and he already concluded all the important points. As for the other minor details such as the things in the island area, some other rules, and more trivial stuff, none of them mattered at the moment.
It had only been half an hour since he finished the book.
After he got a better understanding of Darkness Port, more thoughts flowed into his mind. Tang Ling scooped some water with his hand to wash his face, wanting to refresh himself before reading 'The Purple Moon Chronicles'.
"Huh?" Boss Huang lightly grunted with a strange expression when he saw Tang Ling wash his face with the herbal water.
Tang Ling raised a curious brow at him and said, "What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing, ahem…Nothing's wrong," Boss Huang responded strangely. He averted Tang Ling's gaze and said in an awkward tone, "I sometimes twitch without a reason. Don't mind me."
Twitch?
Tang Ling felt suspicious. He looked around and then at himself but found nothing strange, thus all he could do was accept the lame excuse.
The book 'An In-depth Introduction of Darkness Port' helped Tang Ling a lot. Be it the secrets or publicly known matters, Boss Huang had written everything down without any qualms.
Therefore, Tang Ling was actually looking forward to reading 'The Purple Moon Chronicles'. He would never dwell on strange matters. He simply assumed that Boss Huang really had a twitching condition, so he picked the book up.
"You'd better change your mood before you read the second book." Boss Huang suddenly fired out a strange reminder when he saw Tang Ling pick 'The Purple Moon Chronicles' up.
"Mm-hmm." He nodded and flipped the book open. Little did he know, the secrets that he had been yearning to know were all written in 'The Purple Moon Chronicles' and they started from the very first page.
The first sentence of the book was Boss Huang's remark: personal diary.
2020, August 17th. Sunny.
It's late summer, almost early autumn, but it's somehow hotter than mid-summer. Where is the spirit of autumn? It's a week away from Chinese Valentine's Day.
I mustered up enough courage and asked her out on Wechat.
Me: Hi, are you free next Tuesday? Do you want to hang out? It's summer break and we old mates haven't seen each other for more than a month.
Her: A gathering? Haha, who's going? Oh, I haven't congratulated you on getting into Nanjing University.
Gathering? But I just want to spend some time alone with her…
Holding my phone, I was stunned for a while as messy thoughts bombarded my mind. In the end, I replied: You are the first I'm asking. I'll check with the other mates after this. Why don't we gather for a bit before we start our university lives? How's it? Does that sound cool?
As I typed the last word, depression flooded my heart. None of her replies matter anymore. I stuffed my phone into my pocket and decided to go out for a jog to vent my heavy feelings.
I thought a smart girl like her should understand my hints. It's Chinese Valentine's Day, so the malls should be promoting it like no tomorrow.
Hmph. 
The foul mood really pulled me down. I always ran 5 km easily, yet I ran only five laps today and got tired after less than 2 km. Since it got misty, I went home.
The mist has become the biggest news in people's mundane lives with all sorts of assumptions up in the air. But isn't it just mist? If it really is harmful, I think it's because humans keep destroying the environment and karma is coming for them. Since it's karma, I guess humans will have to accept it.
Rather than talking about it, why not think of a way to change it and figure out what went wrong and how to do better? Nonetheless, I guess such comments will only be deemed childish by Father.
Whatever, I don't care. I realize I don't even have the courage to pick up my phone anymore.
I just thought of a saying: not every relationship bears fruit.
I've liked her since our second year in high school and she answered me with that saying. Maybe it proves something. She doesn't want me to feel bad, she still feels something for me, or maybe she's just a kind girl.
I always have great insights into people!
Or maybe, like some guy used to say whenever one fell in love, one would automatically learn a new skill: finding infinite excuses for the people one loved.
The mist is thick tonight, limiting my vision and my mood. I keep hearing all sorts of noises in the mist. Am I starting to hear things? I think it's time for me to sleep. 
I tell myself, at least I could look forward to university life, right?
2020, 18th August. Sunny.
Where the hills and streams end and there seems to be no road beyond, another village appears amidst the shady willows and blooming flowers.
People in the past were really smart. It was just a short poem, yet it contained complex surprises.
Like what I'm doing now, writing in my diary as my hands are shaking because of excitement. I just ended a whole day's worth of talking with her, and I feel like we know each other better.
Now, I realize we have many similarities. The feeling when our gazes meet at times, the little warmth that we hide in our conversation, it's not one-sided. It's mutual.
It's just that both of us have the same goal to achieve, which is to get into our ideal university. That's why we both decided to hide our feelings.
I did it, and so did she.
I almost missed it and now, I won't miss it!
I picked up my phone in the morning, wanting to know what she replied yesterday. I thought that after a night, I will have gained some courage back.
I remembered that when I saw the reply on my phone, my heart was racing so fast that it almost popped out of my throat. That particular moment is still vivid in my mind.
I wanted to shout and scream, but all I did was laugh in a silly way at my phone.
Her: You asked me first? Have you gotten in touch with the others? If not…it's fine if it's just the both of us.
Hahaha…
She really is as smart as I thought! She understands my hints!
She had also hinted at me, but I was acting stupid yesterday! I didn't reply in time. I wonder if she feels down for a while like I did?
I start to feel bad for her, so I scold myself stupid. I pick up my phone and muster all my courage for a reply: That's my original plan, trying to be with you alone. Next Tuesday is Chinese Valentine's Day! I wanted to tell you before I started university that I've liked you since our second year in high school. It's been two years!
I once thought it required tremendous courage to confess to her and say 'I like you'. Now, I find out that all she needed was a tiny reply, a little hint, and that was it.
As for the chat, I'm not going to write it down here. I never thought I'd have such patience to chat with her via Wechat for a whole day. But I saved the conversation log in a secret file, and if one day we get married, this will be the most meaningful present ever.
I'm eager to see her again. I can't wait until Valentine's.
She agreed to meet up tomorrow. I'm so hyped up! What am I going to wear? I prepared a present for her a long time ago, but I've also decided to give her something more meaningful—this diary.
Ever since I liked her, I've been writing this diary and recorded all my feelings for her since day one.
Damn it. The mist is really thick tonight.
When will the strange mist go away? I still curiously want to touch it. Will it feel like how people describe it? Can I really feel the mist?
The result was really as described! It feels sticky like something is covering my hand.
Strange. What would the geography teacher say about this? The news didn't really cover the mist. All the media say is that they are still studying the mist.
I don't know whether it's me or if the mist is starting to look purple. How serious is the contamination?
2020, August 19th. Shattered.
It's gone! Gone! Gone!!!
None of this is real!!
Just let me die! Let me die! I am dying! My body is expanding. It's heating up! I am dying!
...
Tang Ling's brows were tightly knitted as he read on. He knew something important was coming up as there was still more to the diary. However, it was the unfinished diary that made him feel the despair of an era being overturned.
His heart started to beat nervously.


When a glorious old civilization was toppled overnight, a strange purple moon rose and thus began the Purple Moon Era.
Damn it! What kind of ecosystem was this? The evolution was messy. Even rabbit bites and plants were not to be messed with. How can one survive all this? Evolve into a Purple Moon Warrior? What did this have to do with the Purple Moon?
What kind of map was this? The Safety Sector? The Floating Domain? The Darkness Port? The Storm Voyage? The True Capital?
The Horror Lullaby List? The resurrection of the Underground Race and the prospering Underground City? The Chaos Black Market that suffused the world? The Bloody Road?
More importantly, one could end up in a bloody slaughter when dreaming and enter the Dream Domain? Fine, this damned era! 

*Clank clank clank*

"Strike harder, Put your backbone into it!"

*Clank clank clank*

"Stop being such a wuss, even my grandma can strike harder than you!"

... Some probably wonder what's going on here so I'll give a brief explanation after we arrived at soaring swallow we were greeted with a bustling scene of people buying or browsing equipment.

Our guide, Mahatma, then lead us to the back into the workshop. There a burly and average human height dwarf with short trimmed golden brown hair is over watching everyone works.

When he noticed us(or I should say, Mr. Leo) he greeted us with a bright smile, after a long chat with Mr. Leo he asked about who I am to him. after getting his answer and some details I couldn't hear over the hammering noise, he scrutinized me from top to bottom before pointing at me and declare that I'm weak.

I know I'm weak but having it spit out to your face would still annoy people and because so many ears are listening I denied his claim just for him to challenge me which at the time I did not know was a trap, I said I'll accept any challenge he'll throw at me.

And that leads us to where we are at the present, after giving me a book titled "Introduction to smithery for idiots" he gave me an hour to remember the content, which is more than enough actually.

Finishing the book, I gained three new skills, since it's a bother to explain let me just give you the system information.

2.) Reduce failure chance during item creation by 25%
3.) 3% chance to give random effect to items during its creation

Description:
An uncommon skill some blacksmith have.

I was quite delighted with these skills before I had to sit here in front of a forge and anvil, hammering down metal after metal, blade after blade without rest for hours.

A couple of times I gave a pleading gaze for help towards my teacher but he only gave me a smile and mouthed "do your best" as encouragement.

"I said hit harder you spineless fool!"

'Teacher... Why won't you save me?'

with that unsaid question, he continues to hammer with his full strength which never seems to be enough for hours to end.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
Varius family resident, first-floor storeroom.

"Ahh~" Vayne moan as he lay on the makeshift bed.

"Today sure is quite a torture, but the boon is worth it, I guess." Turning around towards the ceiling, he opens the system menu and checks his statuses.

"Huh... There are some skills I've never seen before, does this mean the system won't tell me any new skills, not from books?"

After looking for a while Vayne closes the menu, blew the candle at the side table and prepare to sleep.

"There's no use thinking too much, it'll answer itself someday."

Slowly he relaxed his breathing and his eyes grow heavier.

[Ding! Emergency quest triggered!]
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
"Ngh~." Lucas Stretch his stiff body after getting out of the guard's Outpost.

"That sure took a while, think you can walk back? the potions don't replace blood loss after all. " He asks the person next to him.

"I still feel a bit weak and if you mean all the way back to the academy then no, let's head to the hideout it's closer and the gates probably closed already anyway," Elea said rubbing his chest.

Lucas nod at his suggestion and both head off towards the southern part of the town. There they walked towards the alley next to a warehouse with the number 5.

Lucas knocks on the warehouse wall and whispers something, after he did so the wall slide open, revealing a staircase. Lucas and Elea entered and the wall closes behind them.

After the wall closes, a cloaked person walks to the same wall and knock. They whisper the same thing Lucas did but instead of opening a small magic circle light up.

Before the person could evade, they were blown to bits of bloody pieces.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
Reading the system notification Vayne jump up from his bed as if he got stung by electricity and quickly open the quest.

—Emergency quest: uninvited one—
An uninvited guest has entered the residents, he meant harm towards you, Dispose of him. Failure and face the consequences.

2.) Intense pain for two days
3.) All stat reduces to 1
4.) Erasure of all skills except specials
Status: incomplete

he feels shocked by the quest description but what shock him more is the reward and penalties of it, to him, the balance seems off.

grabbing the sword by his bedside he quietly creeps out of his room. when he reached the living room he sees the silhouette of a person carefully going up the stairs.

'they don't seem to notice me'

although the quest already said one person, Vayne still looks around to make sure there is no straggler around before turning back to the person sneaking halfway up the stairs and scan them.

Assassin A

'I could sneak up and kill him quietly right now or I could just confront him head-on but in the end, it makes little difference... I will have to kill...'

shaking his head Vayne put his hesitation and doubt to the back of his mind and activate [Rewrite].

'it's time to utilize the system feature.'

Rewrite point: 0
Condition: tired

Vayne nods his head, satisfied with the results before he unsheathes as quietly as he can but the man must have heard him as he stops at the top of the staircase.

'It's now or never!'

leaving the hallway where he hides Vayne dash full speed towards the man, it takes a little over two seconds for him to reach him but that two seconds was enough for the guy to draw his curved dagger and face him.

using the built-up speed, Vayne thrust himself towards the man but he jumps back and throws something towards him.

Vayne felt something like ant bites on his right shoulder and chest but he ignores it and continues his charge.

as he got into range he swings his sword horizontally but only manage to cut the air as his opponent roll away behind him. the man stops into a crouch and propels himself into a backstab, seeing this Vayne spin to the side along with a slash of his sword.

seeing what happens the man also spin himself mid-flight and use his dagger to parry his opponent.

the two-weapon clash with a loud metallic sound and with his superior Strength Vayne manage to send the man up higher into the air. trying to take advantage of it Vayne chase after him.

seeing the boy chase after him, he quickly spins himself midair, positioning his feet against the ceiling and propel himself down with a long swipe.

Vayne using his smaller stature only lower his body slightly to evade, the dagger's tip left a long graze at his cheek but he manages to pass through the man defense and drive his sword through the man's chest.

the moment the boy stab him he could feel the life seeps out from his body, using the last of his strength he stabs his dagger at the boys back, missing his heart slightly, before darkness engulf his mind.

both bodies fall to the side drench in blood, Vayne wants to move but he can't, he wants to pull his sword but he can't, he wants to yell for help but he can't. he knows a beastkin hearing is sharper than human but the feeling of death drawing closer and closer scares him.

[ding! quest condition met, sending quest reward. bonus condition met, the...]

in the back of his mind, he hears the system cold, emotionless voice but he couldn't hear everything before the strong allure of sleep take him.

His fate is not his.

His memories are not real.

And his soul is not his own.

Reincarnated into an another world, while meeting new people and learning new things, Vayne adjusts and tries to enjoy his new life as much as he can. 

The Rewrite System had come to change his fate. He had been brought by the goddess who felt touched by his past deed.

He never thought of it with much importance, but that turned out to be a mistake. The more he explored, the more he learned of the so called "fate".

Wanting to break the chains of damnation and create his own destiny, he must thrive to gain strength and keep his "real" self safe.

----------
Also HUGE shout-out to Cailinmatthews and Lostinfictions for the new synopsis ( ╹▽╹ ) do give their books a read and don't be shy to talk to them on discord.

Leon followed Cole through the corridors of the mansion and they came to stop at a two-sided door which was engraved with drawing then they entered in the library. Leon looked at the bookshelves but he commanded his soul artifact to copy the books. After his book of knowledge completed, it could act like a spiritual tool, so Leon didn't need to pass it through all the books here. 

As his book of knowledge was passing through the books and copying their content, Leon took a book which explained the culture of this country. Leon know that this country was a human country and it was called Holy Human Empire and most of the humans were living in this empire. 

It was true that it had an imperial family which was ruling over but the rules themselves was written by The Temple of Obligation. The government type was between monarchy and theocracy. The temple wouldn't bother with mundane affairs of the Empire but it didn't mean that they didn't have any interest. Leon didn't read it from any book but he heard it from Theo. 

The head of temple was The Pope and when a new pope would come to the seat, they would throw their name and only called The Pope and when the new emperor were crowned The Pope would put their crown on their head. Theo only said that but for Leon, it showed that ruling rights of the emperor given by the pope. This was showing that above the emperor there was The Pope. If The Pope were decline the crowning the new emperor, it would show the populace that divine right and rule of the emperor was nonexistent.

It wasn't just limited with Holy Human Empire but all races on the system world have this kind of temples which was hidden but they were the one's which was doing the ruling.

Leon didn't have much interest in the politic outline of the system world but he knew enough to prevent him to make blunder in the public. He was more interested in social norms of the system world than the politics of the world. 

While his book of knowledge was copying, He read the book. As he was reading, he came to understand that the system world. He already knew that the ruling class was composed from nobility, monarchs and the temples, he learned them from Theo. The book that he was reading, was describing the social norms about Holy Human Empire's commoners and the holy rules and doctrines. The Holy Human Empire was a patriarchy and the polygamy was a norm in the society.

Leon didn't hear anything about that from Theo, but it was understandable. Leon didn't say anything about monogamy when he was talking about his world. When you describe a sea you wouldn't say just blue and leave like that, it was normal for sea to be blue. If it wasn't blue then you would say the color of it. 

Leon didn't like the idea of polygamy. The cause wasn't that his morals from his previous life, but he didn't believe in love, so being in love with a lot of women was an impossibility for him. Even marriage for making connections was too bothersome for him.

When he copied whole library, Leon stood up from where he sat and walked to the door where Cole was waiting. Cole didn't say anything when they were in the library, so Leon thought he leaved the library ahead of him. 

"Cole, do you know how the selection for the next head will be done?"

Leon asked while they were leaving the library. After coming here, Leon didn't know how the selection would be done. Both of Aroan world and the system world, the inhabitants could be stronger so "might is right" and "survival of the fittest" was the base philosophy of the people. Thus there might be a strength test, but for nobles, they should have some administration skills. Leon could discern Casper power and Theo's; Casper didn't have any problems but Theo took the pill from Leon so, they didn't have much difference in power that they have. 

"Actually, it isn't that complicated. The first challenge is to get near to the Blazewing Fire as near as possible, and the one who neared the most would have an advantage over the other one."

"Blazewing Fire? Is it a spiritual fire?"

"Yes, it is an heirloom spiritual fire of the Blazewing family for ages."

Leon knew about the spiritual fires. There all kinds of laws in existence, and there would some artifacts, fruits or materials which have laws in it. The air that Leon absorbed was filled with Law of Air and it didn't have any law aside that so it was pure. If it had Law of Poison in it, it would have poisonous properties. The four of order also same, Aside from their respective laws, they also had Law of Order imbued in them, it was the reason for them to use chaos as nutrient and bring order to four elements in a limited area.  

"What is the second challenge?"

"It is more straightforward, direct confrontation in the area."

"The third?"

"Solving a problem in the fief. Generally it would be to hunting down some bandits. It also test your ability to make connections."

Leon nodded. He couldn't help for first two challenge but he could help for the last challenge. As for connections that Cole said, he understood that with connections they had, they would invite others to help them in this mission. 

As they talked, they neared the room that arranged for Leon. After entering room, Leon laid down on the bed and review what he copied from the library. Aside from the social norms in the system world, he learned about four primordial treasures. If his guesses were correct, he would get all of them after clearing the dungeons. 

The first one, of course the Philosopher's Stone that he got from the ruins of Elgard. 

The second one; Abysmal Goblet which had ability to store all kinds of liquid and produce them if the owner wished.

The third one Mountain of Vulcan which had the same ability for the metals.

The fourth one had the most allure for Leon; Scythe of the Reaper, it wasn't that Leon was planning to use it as a weapon. He wanted it because it was majored in death and minored in destruction. With the Scythe of the Reaper, he could use the seed of the world tree to complete his Life & Death stage. As for its functions, Leon didn't care also the books in library didn't contained its functions but Leon was sure that it had some magical functions like other primordial treasures. 

Leon didn't have enough mana to properly use these treasures so he couldn't create endless water from primordial well. Maybe in the future when he got stronger.

On the bed, Leon closed his eyes. He didn't know when the trials for the next marquis begun but he was sure that, Theo would handle the first trial. Because he was reborn with the blood of a phoenix and the phoenixes were proficient on fire but he didn't any hope for the second trial, Theo was sick until recently so he didn't have any experience for fighting. As for the third, Leon could handle it.

Leon who drowned and died didn't sleep in nothingness but he dragged through time and space to find himself in a forest filled with ghosts. There was nothing aside from ghosts and corpses in the forest including himself. Without a body he could only look around and try to find out more about the place that he was in. 

Learning the magic existed in this world and he could make a body from a ruins of a school. He made a body for himself but he wasn't a human anymore, he was a titan and he was inspired to become a magus who wield magic. 

But the resources was finite in the world, only solution was to travel through the worlds and collect them to grow stronger and live longer.

An upbeat and cheerful tune filled the imperial office as Zeren whistled a trot song. Jimin frowned at him from his desk.

"Are you ready yet, Your Majesty?" he asked as he fixed his robes in front of the full-length mirror. He turned to face Jimin and arched a brow when he spotted him still crouched over his desk. "What are you doing? Aren't we going to the village today?"

Jimin glanced up at him briefly and then back down at the book he was reading. "No, I am not."

"What? Why not?"

"Because I do not want to."

Zeren folded his arms across his chest. "Your Majesty, we agreed that you at least take a break once a week."

"Yes, but I feel like these breaks are meant for someone else other than me."

"Huh?"

"Zeren," he said, pushing his book away. "I feel like you are enjoying these excursions much more than I am."

"Wha—?" Zeren was flabbergasted. "I-I am not!"

Jimin raised his brow dubiously.

"Okay. Fine" Zeren surrendered with his hands raised. "So, I do enjoy our weekly visits. But that doesn't mean you can't."

"It is not that I do not enjoy them" Jimin replied, "but rather I am sceptical about how you enjoy them."

Zeren looked at Jimin confusedly. "What's wrong with the way I—? Oh!" Zeren's eyes widened with enlightenment. "I see." With a devious smile, he continued, "Don't tell me you're still unhappy about me getting close to Gyuri."

Jimin's lips thinned. Dismissively, he spoke, "If you really want to go, you can go. I am not going to stop you." With renewed energy, Jimin buried his nose under the book he was reading to disguise his irritation.

Zeren sighed. "I cannot go if you aren't, Your Majesty."

Jimin peeked up at him from the rim of his book. With a covert gaze, he observed his gloomy expression hidden by his platonic countenance. Jimin knew that while Zeren was practised at concealing his emotions, the one emotion he couldn't hide very well was disappointment. And seeing his friend shelter his upper lip with his bottom lip—a habit he only exhibited when he was attempting to contain his sadness— hinted that Zeren was indeed very disappointed.

Jimin let out a long sigh. I cannot win with him. "Fine," he conceded as he propped his book down. "I will go."

Immediately, Zeren's mood lifted. "Really?"

"Yes," Jimin replied with a slight smile. "But only for a short while. As you can see, I have so much work to do," he gestured at the pile of books he had on either side of his desk, "so I must really complete them before I meet with the Waekugin ambassador…"

Zeren's eyes hardened at the mention of the Waekugin. He lowered his voice, "Are you really going to meet with them?"

"Yes," Jimin affirmed. "I must."

"But, Your Majesty—"

"I know what you are going to say, Zeren" Jimin interrupted, "but what is done is done. I have already agreed."

Zeren looked at him sceptically.

"It is important that I try to mend the relations between our people and the Waekugin" Jimin explained. "While Saim prospered without their help in the past, the same cannot be said about now." He lowered his eyes while propping his chin on top of his interlocked fingers. With a pensive expression, he resumed, "Trade with the Waekugin is something we must consider. Especially when reports from our vanguards have confirmed that the New World has advanced technology which will prove beneficial to Saim." He gazed up. "Zeren, we must not let Saim fall behind."

Seeing the sombreness on his face, Zeren answered, "But it's not like we are letting Saim fall behind by not involving ourselves with the Waekugin. Other kingdoms, like Nihon, have resisted Waekugin influence and are thriving without their input."

"Yes, you are right" Jimin admitted. "But that is what we only see on the surface." He gazed down at his right hand where his jade, imperial ring rested on his forefinger. "While it seems that Nihon is prospering, we cannot know for sure if that is the case. After all, their situation is different from ours: they do not suffer the famine that we do."

Jimin continued to stare at his imperial ring as he rubbed his thumb across the clear band of jade. On the day of his coronation, the royal eunuch had presented him with the imperial ring—the same one that his father, and the emperors before him, had worn. Seeing the jade ring reminded him of his imperial duty to make decisions that would benefit the kingdom. Yet, why did it suddenly remind him of his father's decision to expand?

Before his father had died, he had grown increasingly interested in expanding Saim territory, going as far as even invading neighbouring kingdoms on the grounds of self-defence. Even after a few weeks on the throne, Jimin was still ignorant of his true motivation for expansion. He had attacked another kingdom unprovoked.

But why?

What could have possessed his father to suddenly act that way?

"Either way, Your Majesty," Zeren spoke, "I advise you to exercise caution when it comes to dealing with the Waekugin. It is not only the Waekugin that we must be wary of but the hidden enemy too" and with those words, Zeren exchanged knowing looks with Jimin.

Of course, Jimin internally thought, I must not forget the men at court, who I have left disgruntled with my decision…

As Jimin opened his mouth to reply, a sudden knock on the door caught his and Zeren's attention.

"Your Majesty?" A feminine voice was heard from the other side of the door.

Jimin locked eyes with Zeren briefly before answering, "Come in."

In a few moments, a young, royal maid entered, carrying a neatly folded imperial uniform. She bowed to Jimin before extending her arms out in offering. "I have brought your imperial uniform, Your Majesty."

"My uniform?" Jimin echoed. "I did not…" he glanced at Zeren, "Ah, I see."

Zeren grinned sheepishly as he collected the uniform from the maid. From the sudden brushing of their hands, the maid grew flustered and she lowered her head shyly, occasionally daring to meet Zeren's eyes but then hurriedly averting it again.

"Thank you" Zeren uttered with a charming smile.

The royal maid meekly nodded before retreating to leave the imperial office.

Jimin, who was watching from behind, eyed Zeren's actions intently. He questioned him, "How do you that?"

"Do what?"

"That" Jimin replied. "How are you able to speak to women so easily?"

Zeren shrugged. "I don't know. I just…" he thought for a moment, "I just talk to them. It's not that difficult—" he stopped midway his sentence as he noticed Jimin's dubious expression. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because that was not just talking" Jimin pointed out. "It looked you were…"

"What?" Zeren asked curiously. "It looked like I was what?"

Jimin mumbled, "Wooing her."

Zeren blinked before bursting into laughter. "You have a sharp eye, Your Majesty." He wiped a tear that had started to form on the corner of his eye. But as he was doing so, a brilliant idea suddenly crossed his mind. "You know what, why don't you try it?"

"Try what?" Jimin asked. "Talk to them? Zeren, I already—"

"No, not that." He eyed Jimin mischievously as his lips curled into a coy grin. "Why don't you try wooing?"

"Wooing?" Jimin repeated, horrified. "Me? Wooing? Zeren, I am not a philanderer."

"And are you implying I am?"

Sensing Zeren's unimpressed tone, Jimin quickly interjected, "No, what I am saying is, I simply do not possess this ability, nor do I wish to."

"Oh, c'mon, Your Majesty. Wooing a woman is what we men do. It hurts no one and you also flatter a lady by showering them with compliments."

"Empty compliments" Jimin muttered under his breath.

Zeren frowned.

"I see no point in it. Leading a lady on is a dishonourable thing to do."

"Yes, but the thing is, you are not leading a lady on. Wooing for you will be a challenge, a rite of passage per se, that should help you overcome your irrational fear."

Jimin sighed. "For the last time, I am not afraid of—"

"Then, prove it" Zeren abruptly challenged. "Prove to me that you are not afraid of women by wooing one."

"What? That is incredulous! I am not going to—"

"Don't tell me you're going to back out from a challenge" Zeren taunted.

Jimin clenched his jaw at Zeren's words.

Zeren smiled secretly at Jimin's reaction. I knew it. "You've never backed away from a challenge before, Your Majesty, so don't tell me you're going to start now."

Jimin continued to lour at Zeren. "That is unfair, Zeren. You are using my pride against me."

"If it's the only way to help you, then I have no other choice" Zeren replied with a shrug. "You've always faced every challenge unflinchingly in the past. You even swam stark naked in the river during winter" he reminded him. "Surely wooing a woman isn't as difficult as that?"

With his lips pursed, Jimin reluctantly replied. "No, you are right…"

"Then, are you up for it?"

Jimin stared at Zeren's unwavering gaze. He recognised the way his eyes sparkled with mischief and how his body was hunched forward in a provoking manner: he was serious.

Reluctant to surrender, Jimin swallowed. "Fine. I will take you up on this challenge."

Zeren's smile widened.

"But in return, I challenge you to do something too."

"Oh?" Zeren replied flippantly. "Whatever it is, I bet I can do it—"

"I challenge you to stay five metres away from women at all times."

"Wha—?" Zeren was astonished. "That's- that's—!"

"Do not tell me you cannot do this?" Jimin playfully taunted. "Were you not saying how confident you were earlier?"

Zeren scowled at him. "You're really annoying, Your Majesty."

Jimin smirked. "So, are we really doing this?" He offered his hand out to Zeren.

Hesitantly, Zeren pursed his lips before eventually accepting his hand. "Fine. Let's do this."

The pair eyed each other determinedly as they uttered in unison, "Challenge accepted."

Transported to an unknown era, Subin, a teenage girl raised with western values, wakes up in the body of a serf. In this unknown land, she encounters the aristocratic Kim brothers and finds herself entangled in the webs of deceit; woven by rivalry, politics and hunger for power.

Soon Marcel also measured his mana sensibility, Richter and Kingo also measured theirs now that they were there.
Marcel had the highest mana sensibility with 25.1, followed by Richter with 12 and Kingo had 18.1. Once everybody measured their mana sensibility, they glanced at Jun.
"What you also want me to measure my mana sensibility. I don't want to lower your self esteem though." Jun said with a mocking smile.
"You don't have much contributions left in your graduate ring then?" Marcel said looking a Jun who froze a second being found out.
"*Cough*Cough*, I still do have some, but I don't want to use them." Jun said with his closed hand in front of his mouth wanting to cover the point. "Also, I don´t need to measure it, my mana sensibility is 78.2."
"I see. Well I may have lost the sparing tournament but at least my mana sensibility is the highest as it should be, seeing I´m the senior." Marcel nodded.
"Big brother Jun, how does one classify having good or high mana sensibility? According to teacher Izuriel criteria I should have high mana sensibility." Xol asked seeing the results of everyone.
"Well usually someone would have mana sensibility many times lower than his level like Kingo case, we say someone has good mana sensibility when it´s up to 3 points lower than your level, having the same or more would be high, with your 10.3 points you do have high mana sensibility." Jun explained as he raised his hand.
"Mana sensibility doesn´t improve as you level up, one must keep studying and comprehending mana to keep this scale. In the past the academy called those with high mana sensibility as genius if their mana sensibility was a point higher than your level and prodigy if it was three or more. The academy dropped these two terms around 18 years ago, as it tends to get over the student head making them more arrogant, though there are some that still use the term from time to time." Jun shrugged.
"I see." Xol nodded.
"Then I definitely need to improve my mana sensibility to become a disciple of Teacher Aidan." Kingo rubbed his chin with a worried face.
"Hehe, seems I have the advantage in our bet, I need to pass some of his test though. The again I also need to get my fire attunement to tier 1 before I can take another class." Marcel tilted his head.
"How much time are you going to stay in the city big brother Jun?" Marcel glanced at Jun.
"After buying some things today I´ll be heading tomorrow to the beast tamer hall in the Tiger Maws Mountain range. I will there some days taking care of some business, after that I´ll return and stay another day or two in the academy. I may try to tame the Blue Fire Winged Lioness and after that I can recommend you to Teacher Winston." Jun rubbed his chin and then extended his hand.
"I see then do you mind if I accompany you, as a son of a merchant family I can help you in getting the best deals." Marcel punched his chest
"Sure, that be a huge help." Jun nodded
"Do you mind if I invite the dormitory leader and give us some tips for the upcoming dormitory wars in two weeks." Marcel asked with some anxiety.
Jun pondered the question and soon nodded, seeing the nod Marcel exhaled a breath of relief.
"What's your plan guys, want to join?" Marcel asked the group.
"Nah, I want to ask Teacher Aidan his opinion on some things that my mana blessing gave me." Kingo shook his head
"I want to deliver the lightning cores principal Zestari asked me." Richter also shook his head.
"Well I already hear the tips for the dormitory wars from big brother Jun, I think I prefer to keep working on the task Teacher Izuriel asked me." Xol tilted his head and then shook his head.
"I see." Marcel sight fell to the ground.
Richter and Kingo soon headed to their respective classrooms, Jun and Marcel accompanied Xol to the dormitory as Marcel wanted to call the dormitory leader. Marcel soon knocked at the door of room 1 as Jun and Xol waited seated in the stairs to the second floor. Soon Marcel returned with the dormitory leader. The dormitory leader had a light blue mage robe, black eyes, a straight nose, fuzzy black hair and dark skin.
[Ethan Magus LVL 29]
"Xol this is Ethan Jones the dormitory leader."— Marcel glanced at Ethan and gestured Xol –"Ethan, this is Xol he got assigned to my room." 
"Good to meet you. If you ever need me for something you can find me in Room 1 or the ice attunement class. If you cannot find me, you can leave me a message below the door addressed to me." Ethan said with a smile as he stretched his hand.
"Good to meet you" Xol shook his hand.
"Now this is big brother Jun, Xol´s guardian and former student in the academy. He agreed to share his wisdom for the dormitory wars as we help him shopping." Marcel gestured Jun.
"Many thanks, I´ll tried to help you as best I can." Ethan bowed slightly with his head to Jun.
"Don't worry, its my way of repaying you guys seeing you are going to take care of Xol from now." Jun nodded with a smile.
Exchanging a few more words Jun´s group departed as Xol went to his room, stopping in front of his room, he glanced toward the departing group.
"Big Brother Jun, thanks!" Xol shouted as he made a farewell gesture with his whole arm.
"This guy." Jun said as he saw Xol and returned the gesture then turned around.
"Good luck finding a present for big sister Maya!" Xol shouted seeing Jun turn around, after that he quickly entered his room. Jun face quickly turned bright red
"XOL!" 
Xol sighed in relief hearing the shout.
'Hehe, I knew it. You were ashamed of saying something like that aloud." Xol giggled.
Xol went and sat on the desk and started recreating a cube with mana, once the mana wasn't so erratic nor looked as static, he tried making a sphere before moving to other things.
An hour later Richter returned to the room and few hours later Kingo also retuned to the room. Neither of them tried to bother Xol seeing how concentrated he was. A few minutes later Xol finally run out of mana and MP potions. Turning around he saw Richter was reading a book in his bed while Kingo was examining the materials he had gotten in the dungeons.
"Oh, you finished for the day." Richter said as he sat seeing Xol move toward his bed.
"Yeah ran out of mana. What´s your next task?" Xol asked as he sat.
"I already became a student of principal Zestari, seems she saw our battle in the second trial added with Jun recommendation she lowered her tests for entering as a student. I´m just going to be in a 3-week trial while she evaluates my martial skills to guide me once I class change into a Mana Cultivator, when that done I´ll become his disciple officially." Richter replied storing the book the he was reading.
"How did it go with you Kingo?" Richter asked seeing he also finished.
"Well Teacher Aidan said it was a good call I waited before trying to improve more my bloodline, he also say he is interested in my swordplay and recommended me to take the Sword Mana Cultivator class, apart from that I had to endure some tests of him but failed the last one so I had to improve on his feedback before trying to enter the fire class." Kingo shrugged after turning the desk chair.
"So you planning to class into the Sword Mana Cultivator class?" Richter asked.
"Well I don't really mind it, as long as I can master katana intent before I become 16 and class up. If I can manage that then my dream on entering the Kensei class could be achieved at level 100, else if I master katana intent after turning 16 would mean I need to wait until the next class up after 100 level." Kingo glanced at the roof.
"Don't worry if he recommending a class relating to swords then he could help you improve your technique to get that skill." Xol said as he stood up and walked next to Kingo. 
"Beside that if you need our help, ask away." Xol extended his fist toward Kingo.
"Hehe, I guess you´re right." Kingo smiled and bumped Xol fist.
"I agree with Xol if you need our help just ask, who knows we could help you reach an enlightenment onto your technique." Richter jumped off his bed then walked toward Kingo and also extended his fist.
"I guess this time I did get some good roommates, thanks guys." Kingo also bumped Richter fist.
"I saw that guy you mentioned Henley taking teacher Aidan class, he also received the same offer for class up, but he flatly rejected it saying he would take the same path of magic swordsmen in his family. Teacher said he could still teach him some fire sword technique if he wants to follow that path, but couldn´t teach all the skills he knew as it required the Mana Sword Cultivator class he offered." Kingo said as he told the whole story.
"He was very adamant on learning right away trying to skip the tests as he wanted to challenge either of you to a ranking battle once the dormitory battle starts." Kingo said after a while.
"I see." Xol nodded.
"What´s this about dormitory wars I keep hearing, I don't remember the staff member explaining something like that." Richter said with a puzzled look.
"Oh, do you remember when the staff member said you could exchange the loot from the dungeons for contributions in the administration office and then use them in exchanging for things inside the academy." Xol said as he raised his index finger.
"Un"
"Well, one can use the contributions to improve the facilities the dormitory currently has, for example we could use contributions to build a forge for Kingo´s usage." Xol said as he gestured toward Kingo
"Since this is the case many dormitories may challenge each other, betting contributions to improve the dormitory. These challenges emulate the upcoming competition with the martial academy. With that comparison any doubt?" Xol glanced toward Richter who shook his head.
"I have a doubt, in the Martial Academy the dormitory wars started three day from the first day, why does here it take 2 weeks?" Kingo asked.
"I also don���t know big brother Jun told me it started one week after the first official day and don't know why this time it´s two weeks later." Xol shook his head "I think it would be better to ask senior Marcel once he returns."
Having nothing to do the group continued talking about the dormitory wars, the Kensei class and weapon intent. Xol face illuminated once he heard one does not have to have a melee class to acquire those skills and could even acquire a Spear Intent skill. After some more time Marcel returned to the dormitory.
"Hey Xol, I didn't know Jun could put that kind of face once you shouted when we were leaving." Marcel said as he entered with a faint smile.
"Hehe, I have to repay him some of his pranks from time to time." Xol rubbed his nose.
"Well he said you better prepare once he passes by in a week." Marcel laughed as he climbed onto his bunk bed.
"Also, I´m curious who is the person you called big sister Maya?" Marcel peaked from his bunk bed.
"She is was my best customer in Caveshore city, she the strongest adventurer in the city and is currently preparing to undergo the level 100 class up." Xol smiled with a proud face knowing such a person.
"Oh, and what is her relationship with big brother Jun" Richter asked as he returned to his bed.
"None, though he is trying to get closer to her." Xol shook his head and also wen to his bed.
"Then does he have a chance with her?" Kingo asked.
"Not sure, I want to believe he has but it depends on if big sister like him." Xol replied.
"Well let's wish him good luck then." Marcel nodded and went to bed.
"Marcel why does the dormitory wars starts two week later in here?" Kingo asked his doubt.
"Well, teacher Izuriel activates a formation after his first public lecture that takes care of most of the things related to dormitory wars and ranking battles, until then no one can activate it. We use this time to prepare and big brother Jun gave us some nice tips. There is going to be a war council after his public lecture where we will decide who are going to engage in farming, battling solo and competing in teams, in that council it´s going to explain the difference we have compared to the Martial Academy." Marcel said as he leaned his head on his right-hand glancing at Kingo.

Dungeons, a word that carries infinite possibilities of fame, power and wealth. These spaces that started appearing over 200 years ago have gave hope to many as with them came mana, an energy that flowed in every person, giving birth to new classes and skills that they though only disciplines of the hidden sects had. 

Xol is a 12-year-old orphan that has worked hard for 6 years in hope of joining the Mana Academy, getting a magic based class and setting forth in exploring the dungeons of the histories he always has loved. Having finally saved for the initial inscription, Xol set off, taking his first step in his adventures. Would he get the magical class he imagined, or would he find a new approach of using mana?
