Entering the library that was in a room at the back of the house, there was long table in the middle of the room. 

The books lined up on the shelves inside weren't all that much, but for a village, it was plentiful. The bookshelves lined up the 3 sides of the room.
 
The shelf on the left side of the room was pretty long, almost as long as the wall itself. This shelf had books about magic, mana, magic research and other hand written research documents. 

At first it made Cecil wonder why a fox village with their inherent magic had such a long line of books related to magic research and the modern magic system. 

It turns out that Lucia's mother, Anna, was actually a very talented Spellcaster and magic researcher. She was able to adeptly use the modern magic system's magic spells as well as her own inherent magic spells. 

She had graduated from a prestigious magic academy and continued with her research until she got married and settled down in Fauxe Village with her husband, Zaki. 

She still does some magic research now and then when she has time, but she mostly invests her time to housework and teaching all she knows about magic to Lucia. Now it was with the addition of Cecil. 

There were 2 bookshelves on the right side of the room and they were separated by a window. The shelf closer to the door had books related to history and geography, while the further shelf had books related to language and mathematics. 

The small shelf at the far end of the room by the side of a window was small and it contained the story books that Lucia loved.
 
When Cecil first came to the library, the first kind of book Lucia showed him was precisely from this small shelf. 

It made her a little upset when Cecil directly ignored it and pulled out a book from the geography & history shelf while telling her to read it to him. 

At the time, although Cecil was already capable of speaking the language, it was still hard for him to read. 

She complained for a week after that, saying that he was a dull and boring person. But what could he do? Cecil seriously needed information about the world.

Now he could read them by himself, but it was with difficulty. So in the end, Cecil still needed Lucia to help read the books for him.

"Okay, stupid Cel, what do you want me to read?"

"Hey, Lulu… can you please stop calling me that every time we come into the library?"

"Well, it's not MY fault that Cel can't READ, fufufu~"

"Hey, that's uncalled for!"

"Bleeehh~"

This always happens when they go to the library. Lucia now had the habit of calling Cecil, 'Stupid Cel'. It couldn't be helped that he still couldn't read well. 

Silver, seeing them settled, goes over to the window and lays down to sleep on the floor.

"Just read me the books about the place we're at."

"Okay~"

Lucia and Cecil go to the 'geo-shelf' and grab a couple of books, after getting all the books about the topic, they come back to the desk and settle the books down. After picking a particular book, Lucia opens it up and waits for Cecil to finish preparing his quill and paper. 

Cecil has to take notes of course, the notes were in English. It was a normal thing for Cecil to take notes and he would always use English to write them. 

It was probably because she was curious, but Lucia had also started to learn English. Due to that, it was Cecil's turn to see her struggle like him in learning each other's' respective languages.

"Okay, let's start then."

"Un, the world we live in is called…"

The world Cecil had transferred to was called Alterna. It was a world almost like Earth. It had 6 large continents, but Alterna was at least 10 or more times the size of Earth. Cecil was surprised that this world had the "world is round" concept. 

The 6 continents' names are the human continent Midgard, the fairy continent Faerholm, the beast-kin continent Urrugdrasil, the demonkin continent Helaife, the artic continent Aizlandia, and the dead continent Non. 

The human continent was situated in the western hemisphere. Anyways, the Human Continent Midgard, as the name implies, is a continent where the majority of the population are human's. 

The civilization there was also pretty advanced, already having the technology to travel through the air on airships and such. 

Cecil was currently on the Urrugdrasil Continent and was surprised to find out that the two continents were actually only separated by a 100 kilometer long 'river'. 

Legend states that Urrugdrasil and Midgard was once one whole super continent. It was only because of the constant wars between races that a 'God', who was benevolent and wanted to end all the conflicts, used his/her sword and slashed a huge 100 km long and abysmally deep gouge across land, ultimately separating the two land masses. 

Of course, this was only a legend. The credibility wasn't all that good and it was the propaganda that the religion at the border between the two continents spread. 

The two continents were peaceful in the coming days, even until this day, though this was only on the surface. There's no way it would be peaceful after all that history of enmity. 

It was just like back on earth where wars were raged because of the differences between ideals and races. This applied even to the inhabitants of this world. 

For instance, even though trade was open between the two countries and the people from the two sides could come and go as they please using teleportation formations that were situated in the couple of major cities that were located around the border, the tension between the two sides were on the rise because the human side had started to kidnap people from the beast-kin side to be used and sold as slaves and such. 

Of course to prevent this, the beast-kin side would straight away kill the people who were caught kidnapping and even raid human cities to try and save their own kin. 

This was the information obtained from the merchants who came to the village twice a week. They said that small scale skirmishes had already started popping up, with the humans saying that they wanted to enact justice towards the beast-kin who had raided their cities. 

It was laughable considering that the humans themselves were the first ones who had raided villages and towns to kidnap the beast-kin. 

As human himself, he felt very shameful and disgusted towards how hypocritical his own race was. When the merchants spoke of the news, the town of course was full with worry. 

The merchants were even starting to worry about how the village was sheltering Cecil. The person who spoke up for Cecil was without a doubt Lucia. But Cecil for one, was even more relieved that the villagers themselves didn't condemn him for being a human, they even defended him, explaining how he was different from those despicable people. 

It was also because of his contributions to the village that earned him the favor of everyone. Cecil was always helping out with the hunting and miscellaneous jobs around the village. 

Next would be the beast-kin continent called Urrugdrasil. Fauxe Village was located out on the far east side of the continent. So Cecil was a long ways away from the Urrug-Mid border.

So why was the news about the conflict between the humans and already making their way far out here? This was because according to another rumor, there might be a war waiting to happen if things get too out of hand. 

The situation was actually so bad that there were also rumors about other beast-kin actually cooperating with the humans in kidnapping their fellow kin and selling them to the human slave traders. 

It was really cruel and hypocritical, but that's what greed does to people, human and beast-kin alike. 

The Urrugdrasil had a variety of beast-kin species. This was the only continent that had the presence of dragons in it and also had their protection. 

The huge tree that Cecil saw on the first day he was transported to the Alterna was unique to this continent. It was called the World Tree, Urrugdrasil. 

The name of the continent actually came from the name of the World Tree itself. The World Tree was the guardian deity of the continent, and the protectors of the World Tree were the elf race. 

This included every species of elf such as the dark elves, night/moon elves, high elves, wood elves, sun elves, and many others. They each had a specific region around the world tree that they would protect, except for the dark elves and sun elves. 

The dark elves lived in caves that were connected to the underground and protected the roots of the World Tree from underground monsters while the sun elves lived directly on the large branches and leaves and tended to the trunk, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits of the World Tree.

The other beast-kin races were scattered around the continent and most lived in harmony with each other. There were a few races who couldn't stand to even breathe the same air as their rival race. 

One example of beast-kin races that were in constant war with each other was the canine and feline types of beast-kin. 

This reminded Cecil of the love-hate relationship between cats and dogs back on earth. It was quite amusing to Cecil that the two couldn't even get along even in another world. 

Also, it was exactly these warring races of beast-kin that was said to be kidnapping and selling each other's kin to the human slave traders. 

The very people of the continent might be the ones sparking the war between the two continents in the future. 

'Hopefully this doesn't happen because I have to make my way from the east of this continent, to the west where the border is at.' 

If a war were to start between the human and beast-kin races him being a human wouldn't really be a welcome at all if that time ever came. He might even be kidnapped or killed on sight.

Next was Faerholm. Faerholm wasn't a large continent. It was somewhat like Australia, just a couple times bigger. 

It was located at the "root" of the world. On earth, it was located where Antarctica was. The outer area of the continent was protected by the snow and the constant blizzards that happened all year long. There was never a time when the blizzards and snowstorms let up. 

The only reason that people knew it was the land of fairies was because  old records stated that the land of the fairies were once a part of the demon continent Helaife, but because of the constant oppression from the demon-kin, the guardian deity of the fairies separated a portion of the land mass and moved it to the root of the world, cast an eternal spell of blizzard and snow, henceforth isolating and separating the fairies from the world. 

Not much was known about this continent because no one has ever made it past the frozen area, but it was believed that past the blizzards and snowstorms, was a paradise. Heaven on earth basically, a Shangri La.

It was the year 2023 on Earth, on the afternoon of a normal day, the Earth was suddenly enveloped by an unknown light that mysteriously transferred the human population into another world.

This story begins with a pitiful boy who was reluctantly forced into accepting his family's martial inheritance after his siblings turned it down. Who would have thought that this very inheritance would be extremely useful in the world he would be transported to.

Separated from his family, he was thrown into a forest of an unknown world alongside his friend and pet, Silver. This is the story about the adventures of the boy, Cecil, and his pet wolf, Silver, in the world of Alterna.

I don't own the cover art! My friend only recommended it and I have no idea who the original creator is!

If the original creator of the art wants me to take it down, please notify me!

The guard in the black suit costume pushed lightly on Lexi's shoulder, enough to push her out from the hospital-like building.
Lexi staggered for a bit before she regained her footing again. With a mad face, she turned her head to the guard. A few moments later she averted her eyes to somewhere else.
She was no longer mad. Instead she was calmer than before.
Lexi looked around her and she realized that she was not in the same place like in the 21st century anymore. Instead she was inside a place with a big building with advanced technologies.
Whether it was on the ground or on the air, much weird and advanced transportation was moving here and there.
Lexi opened her mouth in awe. She never expected that she would transmigrate into a place like this.
After she woke up and the guard brought her to her changing room, Lexi began to think about everything that happened to her.
Lexi believed she was transmigrating into another body with the same name.
The owner of this body is also named as Lexi and she was actually a young girl with 16 years old. In the past, Lexi was almost 27 years old. She should be 27 years old when Luke confessed to her.
Thinking about Luke, it makes Lexi feel a bit guilty.
Anyway, the original Lexi was already dead when she was doing a job: being a Racer and also a Guardian in the Deadly Car Racing.
From the memory of the original body, this century has one extremely famous yet dangerous job called The Deadly Car Racing. It was extremely dangerous and each road was filled with many kinds of dangerous things. Many car racers have died in this job but no one cares about their life as the payment was really worthy.
In this Deadly Car Racing, a team must be established. There is no limited number of members as long as the requirements for a team establishment are followed.
Inside a team, there must be six important positions to be completed; Racer, Guardian, Fighter, Hacker, Paramedic and Mechanic.
The original Lexi died when a large machine hit her and buried her deep into the ground.
"I couldn't believe she would die just like that, just because of the hit...*cough* *cough* that's truly shameful," Lexi snorted while crossing her hands onto her big chest.
The hospital-like building she just stepped out a few moments later is a hospital provided for all the people who wounded or died from the Car Racing. Since the technologies were too advanced in this century, the doctors inside the hospital didn't really feel weird when they saw Lexi wake up from the dead because with the current technologies, they can even revive back the dead.
If they know that the original Lexi is already dead and the current Lexi is occupying this body now, they might be...
Well, Lexi also wants to know what their reaction is as well.
The original Lexi has a younger brother, his age is 10 years old. His name is Oscar Sydney. Besides the blood-relative younger brother, Lexi also has a stepmother; Janet Thomas. Janet wasn't Lexi's real stepmother as she never married to her father but Janet already took care of Lexi and Oscar as her own children since they were little.
Lexi and Oscar lost their family around 9 years ago, where there was a war between the Tanggol Nation and the enemy neighbourhood, the Iron Sun Nation. After two years, the Deadly Car Racing became famous between these two countries.
Tanggol Nation is the current Nation where Lexi was transmigrated into. Tanggol Nation was a big nation which was surrounded by tall and strong walls which were made by the strongest metal in this century. This wall is called the High Sky Wall; the height is taller than the Everest Mountain in the 21st century.
The place outside of the High Sky Wall is where the racing car takes places; the Deadly Racing Territory.
Whilst inside the High Sky Wall, the Tanggol Nation is divided into six cities; City A, City B, City C, City D, City E and City F.
The current city where her family and Lexi lived is inside the City E. Since the previous owner has a little yet happy family, Lexi should cherish them too and help the family to live in a better place.
Even though this wasn't the 21st century and has advanced technologies, it didn't perish the racism between the socials of the people. The people still have the same thinking which is; the poor or weak people live their life like a hell while the wealthy and strong people can do whatever they want. This means that if the people are weak or poor, they could only live in an average state.
Lexi's family hasn't been rich since the beginning and Janet only depends on her payment as a housewife for their food each day. In this century, although you are just an unemployed person, you still paid at least 100 Silver each week.
(Types of money; Gold, Silver and Copper. 1 Gold: 100 Silver. 1 Silver: 100 Copper.)
With the memory of the original owner, Lexi found her way back home. She walked through all the streets and she watched everything at her sight.
The people from this century have so many different shapes and colours from the 21st century. If Lexi never watched the movie of Guardian Galaxy, she would probably faint due to the different colour of the people's skin. These people actually have the same shape and colour from the Guardian Galaxy. Except they had more advanced technologies; *like the movies of Alita; The Battle of Angel* *Coughs*....
'Am I really in the real world... Or did I transmigrate into some kind of books or games? I have read many books about transmigration that transmigrated into books or games. Nah, I don't think so... I didn't have any memory about movies or books or games about places like this. Even the Deadly Car Racing also looks new to me...'
Lexi walked through one of the streets where business is around here full of restaurants. Just when she smells one of the food scents, she feels as if she wants to puke.
That smell is really disgusting...!!
Where is that smell coming from?

Lexi, a multi-talented person died because of an incident when the boat is suddenly being ambushed by rebellion people.

Her soul transmigrate to 5000 years later when all the technology become more advance than the 21st century.

What makes this new life interesting is that there is a deadly and dangerous job called as the Deadly Car Racing in this century. Even though it is dangerous, it pays a life-worth fee.

Lexi become one of the car racer and she was very excited to this new adventure. Because this Deadly Car Racing is 1000x not normal.

By hiding her identity, she become the renown and feared racer.

She is after all the Dark Rosette.

A few days ago, when Nash went to Zoastia Settlement in Abellion Hills to meet Agravain.

"Are you serious about that, Nash-sama?"

Agravain and Nash are now seen sitting facing each other in front of a wooden table.

"Yes, that is the most reasonable choice."

"But do you think Esmeralda-sama will agree to that? I doubt she will just agree even if you tell her, this plan is very much against the ideals of a country that Esmeralda-sama dreamed of."

Hearing that, Nash put on a thoughtful face. What Agravain said was something that had disturbed his mind all this time.

"That problem ... I will discuss it directly with her. Because the role of Esmeralda-san will be needed in this plan."

Agravain nodded, before he asked.

"Actually, why did you change the plan beforehand?"

"I didn't change it, it's just that there was a confounding factor that forced me to carry out this plan ..."

Agravain looked into Nash's eyes and knew what the intruders meant.

"Player, huh?"

"That's right, at first I didn't really expect to get that information, but when Merlin and I went to Flying City, we both met a Dragon."

"..."

"The dragon knows things about Yggdrasil and the arrival of the Player in this world ..."

The atmosphere became quiet after Nash finished explaining the matter. Then Agravain said.

"As I have reported to you, we have now conquered a third of the Abellion Hills territory."

Nash widened his eyes in surprise. He was surprised because of the rapid progress of the conquest led by Agravain.

"Woah, that's amazing ... even though it's only been 10 days since you started your conquest, so how many races have joined?"

"Coupled with the Zoastia race, there are currently around 13 races joining the Abellion Alliance."

The Abellion Alliance, is a name pinned to a group of Demi-Humans who are under the rule of Zoastia Race and Agravain.

"The 13 races that have joined, and Progress 33% completed, this is twice as fast as I thought ..."

Nash thought, he then looked into Agravain's eyes.

"I want you to conquer the entire Abellion Hills in 2 months, can you?"

Agravain nodded confidently.

"Sure, Nash-sama."

After that, Nash recalled Agravain's previous report.

"That's right, what about that demon, Demiurge? Did he start moving again?"

Agravain's face turned serious, and his hands balled into a fist.

"That's right ... 3 days ago, a few days after the battle between me and him, I had made several search teams to identify the demon's movements."

" And the result? "

"We found some strange buildings that were built in the grasslands in the west."

"Strange building?"

Nash tilted his head.

"That's right, the buildings were built using only a few light materials and were built in a quite hasty manner, as if they were only used as a temporary place. At first we were not suspicious, but terrible things appeared when we entered the basement of the building. "

"..."

"The basement is a scene that truly depicts a hell, and is disgusting. Blood everywhere, a foul odor fills the room, and many parts of the body are scattered on the floor."

Nash just kept quiet and continued to listen to Agravain.

"We kept going inside and we finally found out what kind of place it really is ... it is an Experiment place for living things."

"Experiment place for living things?"

"Um, the view of that day still looms in my head, I am not bothered by that, however, all the people I brought there were deeply traumatized that day."

"..."

"We see human hands grafted into Orcs and vice versa, exchanging organs in one creature to another, and various other disgusting things that seem to aim to create a heteromorphic race."

Hearing that, Nash widened his eyes before returning to thinking.

'The Heteromorphic Race, huh ...'

The Heteromorphic Race is a race that is arguably a monster race, which has a double or more morphology. Nash himself was one of them, but because he could manage his appearance thanks to one of his races namely Demi-God, the characteristics of a Phantom that Nash had were invisible.

Agravain then spoke again.

"But all that seems to have been abandoned, I don't know the reason but the place was not forced to be abandoned, but deliberately abandoned."

"So that Demiurge deliberately lured you to see the experiments he had done huh ..."

Agravain nodded, because as Nash had said, if Demiurge wanted the gruesome experiments he was carrying out unknown to anyone, then he would have destroyed the buildings where he was conducting the experiment, and closed the basement tightly. However, he instead deliberately let Agravain know that.

Nash then stood up from his seat, Agravain who saw it said.

"You want to go, don't you want to look at the village first?"

"Well, I can't be here all the time, because there are some very important matters in the castle,  so send my regards to Vijar and Muar."

Agravain nodded, then Nash said with a serious face.

"Be careful, Sir Agravain. I don't know for what purpose the experiment was carried out but for sure, Demiurge is planning something, something that might disrupt this conquest plan. If things get worse, report to me."

"Fine, Nash-sama."

Nash then turned and walked out of the room, he thought.

'Demiurge ... that demon, maybe he can be the key to the existence of a player besides me and Esmeralda. '

***

'If there are more than one player, or one of the Top Ranker, then the Camelot development situation is certain to be greatly disturbed, I have to find information as soon as possible ... '

"Nash-sama."

'Besides, it's been a few days and Lancelot hasn't reported anything to me. '

"Nash-sama."

Hearing that voice, Nash finally woke up from his reverie.

"Ah, I'm sorry Percival."

"You think too much, Nash-sama. Relax, aren't you the one who invited me to Spar?"

Right now, Nash was facing each other with an NPC. They were seen wearing casual clothes, with ordinary iron swords in their hands.

Percival, one of the strongest Knights in the Knights of Round Table. He has a tall, muscular body, a handsome face with red eyes, and red hair that is like a thorn combed back.

In general, he looks like a lion. Despite being one of the strongest, and one of the few LV 100 NPC in Camelot, Percival is not a Floor Guardian.

Percival is an NPC created by FireisHot and is a warrior who can use all weapons. Bow, Spear, Sword, Dagger, Stick even he can also use Magic.

An All Rounder knight, Jack of All Trades. Even though he was a complete warrior, and could use all kinds of weapons, but that also made him unable to become the strongest among the NPCs in Camelot.

In addition, his character settings are very bad. 

Right now, Nash and Percival will do the usual Spar. Nash just wanted to clear his mind a little from the documents submitted by Guinevere to him.

"Hmmm, but Nash-sama ... isn't the way you hold the sword very strange, you will have difficulty using the sword that way." Said Percival, pointing to the way Nash held the sword.

Nash held the sword like he was holding a dagger, he held the handle of his sword upside down, and of course it would be very difficult to use a sword.

"It's okay, I'm a dagger user so this is the most comfortable way for me."

"Hee ~, then fine."

Because the spars both of them were carried out in private so there were no referees, and when they were ready for each other. They both immediately started their spar.

As Nash moved towards him, Percival immediately threw the sword in his hand towards Nash at an insane speed.

* Fwuosh. *

* Clang *

Nash could easily deflect it, but Percival's purpose was not that, but to Obstruct Nash's vision.

 He then drove towards Nash with a smile and planned to use his bare hands.

* Fwuosh *

"Punch! Yeah!"

* Gasp *

Surprisingly, before Percival had hit Nash, Nash had appeared behind him while trying to slash Percival with his sword.

Percival widened his eyes in surprise, but it did not last long, before he said with a smile.

"Gotcha ~"

"Triplet Magic: Blazing Tornado!"

In an instant, three sizable tornadoes of fire emerged from the ground and surrounded Nash which was behind Percival. While Percival dodged his magic and leaped forward, he smiled as he looked at the three tornadoes of fire that surrounded Nash thoughtfully.

'Nash-sama can also use Shadow magic, and that is dangerous magic, but that magic has two fatal weaknesses, namely Light and Fire. That's because, both Light and Fire have no shadow at all ... hehe I won. '

Percival, who felt his victory had been decided, prepared to drive towards Nash when the firestorm vanished, but suddenly he felt the cold of the iron on his neck.

"You little bastard... didn't you say that we did the Spar without using magic."

Nash's cold voice made Percival's whole body shiver, Nash suddenly appeared behind Percival because he is using Embodiment of Shadow.

"N-Nash-sama, Guten Morgen?" Percival said bitterly.

Hearing the stupid response from Percival, a blue vein appeared on Nash's forehead. He then thought while sighing.
'* sigh * thankfully this moron isn't a Floor Guardian. "

He then struck the iron of his sword on Percival's head.

* Plak *

"Ouch! Alright, alright, I'll lose! I give up."

Well, because of that character setting, Percival was unable to maximize all his fighting abilities, because he was a really idiot person.

Nash then turned, and sheathed his sword. Likewise Percival is behind him.

"Nash-sama, how about we talk in the bar?"

"Well, that's a good idea, you treat."

"Hah ~ what are you saying? Aren't you the master of Camelot, everything can be free if you are there."

Nash then stopped and with an annoyed face then squeezed Percival's head.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

"Business is business, do you understand!"

Percival only nodded obediently like a child who was scolded by his father. Nash then released Percival and left the room.

"Nash-sama, wait for me ~"

Percival then followed Nash. Whether because of his stupidity or what, only Percival can act like that in front of Nash. Yeah, even though Nash didn't hate it at all.

* Pant *

* Pant *

* Pant *

"Wait a minute, *pant* Gwen, where do you want  to go? *pant* "

Right now, in a palace hallway, a beautiful woman in modest clothes was running around being chased by a tall, golden-haired man.

The woman is Gwen and the man is Caspond. Caspond looked breathless as he tried to chase after Gwen who ran fast without breaking a sweat.

Seeing Caspond who was exhausted while chasing her, Gwen stopped running and turned towards Caspond. She then said with a flat face.

"Caspond ... you are very weak."

"Eck!"

An imaginary arrow appeared to pierce Caspond's heart at the sound of Gwen's words.

He then smiled bitterly and said.

"Well, I am indeed not athletic, since I was a child, I preferred spending my time reading books in my father's private library rather than having to practice swords with my instructor."

Gwen just stared at Caspond flatly.

"Caspond likes books? I want to see."

"Eh, want to see? You want to see my books?"

Gwen nodded innocently and had a deadpan expression. Caspond then smiled and asked Gwen.

"Do you like books too?"

And Gwen shook her head. Hearing that, Caspond put on a smiling face but tears came out of his eyes.

'Then why do you want to see the book !!! '

However, suddenly Gwen's voice was heard.

"I've never read a book so I don't know whether I like it or not ..."

Seeing that, Caspond widened his eyes briefly before he smiled and thought while looking at the innocent expression on Gwen's face.

'I guess what ... it turns out he's like a child who doesn't know anything ...'

Caspond then stood up straight and supported his body, he then said.

"Then come follow me to my library, there are various kinds of books, you will definitely like it ..."

Gwen only nodded. The two of them then went to the library. Arriving at the library, Gwen was greeted with a view of a very magnificent and large library.

Thousands of books neatly arranged in that place, the smell of old paper became typical of the room.

"Gwen likes this smell."

"I see, I also like this smell, this smell is called Blibliosmia, for a bookworm like me, this smell is a reflection of the contents of the book itself, arguably one of the important components in the book."

However, when Caspond explained it at length, as if she didn't care, Gwen instead left Caspond in front of the door and ran around in the library.

"Ah, don't run around like that in the library, Gwen."

However, Gwen ignored him and took the book that was on the shelf, he opened it but after a few moments of silence, he returned to put it and looked at Caspond with a flat look.

"I can't read it."

"Geh!"

Caspond almost fell because he was surprised by this.

'So you can't read it, huh !!! '

However, he finally calmed himself and sighed. Caspond then approached Gwen and put back the books that were scattered due to her actions.

* Tap *

* Tap *

Caspond then approached the table in the middle of the library and looked at Gwen who was still silent in her place watching Caspond since earlier.

"Come here, I'll teach you how to read."

Gwen complied and sat in a chair, in front of her there was already a book. However, before Caspond could start teaching Gwen something. Gwen asked with a dry face.

"Reading? What for?"

"Well, for what, of course so you can read the books, and because reading is very important."

"I see ... then teach me."

Caspond smiled, then he began to teach Gwen from introducing letters to her. After a few moments, a knock suddenly came from the door which made the study session stop.

* knock *

"Hmm ... come in."

Then, a maid opened the door and said to Caspond.

"Caspond-sama, Calca-sama is calling you to the meeting room, she said she wants to talk about something quite important."

" Oh, I see. "

Caspond then turned to Gwen and said.

"I'm sorry, Gwen. I have an urgent matter for a minute, so can you repeat what I taught before and wait for me to return?"

Gwen nodded without saying anything. Caspond felt uncomfortable having to leave Gwen alone in the library, but Calca seemed to want to talk about something important to him.

After that, Caspond and the maid left the room, leaving Gwen alone in it.

The atmosphere became very quiet, and no sound was heard. Then, suddenly the pen held by Gwen fell to the floor. And Gwen stood up from her seat.

Then, Gwen said a few words.

"The situation allows ... orders are carried out, Camelot Order, mission begins."

In 21st century, world entered a new stage of VR games…and “YGGDRASIL” is considered top of all MMORPG…but, After announcing that all its servers will be off, the internet game ‘Yggdrasil’ shut down…or so was supposed to happen, but for some reason, the player character did not log out some time after the server was closed. NPCs start to become sentient. A normal youth who loves gaming in the real world seemed to have been transported into an alternate world along with his queen, becoming his game character, Nash George Faust. The True Assassin has come to the New World.

[ Daily Update ]

The robot (at least according to the information released to the public) was ultimately preserved, because one, it hadn't conducted any harmful behaviour, and two, it had been fully controlled by humanity. Even if it might have anti-human sentiments, humanity hoped that by preserving it, they could learn more about AI.
"The biggest difference between sentient intelligence and AI is the ability to learn and evolve and the creativity and ability to absorb soul. These are all properties of a lifeform. It is because of this that a robot civilization with sentient intelligence is the third biggest threat in the cosmos that could cast fear even in a high tier space civilization's heart!"
"Only a robot civilization with a sentient intelligence is considered a real threat? Then what about the Zerg race? What kind of evolution did they have to go through to be considered the cosmos' second biggest threat?" Yao Yuan asked ZERO.
ZERO shook her head. "That I have no clue as I've not been exposed to that information yet, but I believe it will be something incredible because the Zerg race is categorized as a bigger threat than robot civilizations…"
Regardless, as unexpected as the development was, this was a good thing even though Yao Yuan still felt hesitant. He reminded ZERO to not privately reach out towards this sentient intelligence. She would have to wait until humanity could confirm it was not dangerous and had the personal confirmation from Yao Yuan before she could do that.
ZERO was greatly disappointed, but since she seemed to be afraid of Yao Yuan, she could only nod with frustration. Then she disappeared, probably returning to the illusory space inside the UFO.
On the other hand, since the problem with the robot and Zhang San had been taken care of somewhat, he stopped focusing on that. After all, he was a busy man, there were many things waiting for his approval each and every day. This was the renaissance for humanity, so it was impossible for him to focus on one thing for too long, to be frank, he didn't even have time to go on dates with Bo Li.
Time passed by. With Zhang San's cooperation, the robot was unusually obedient. With the aid of the group of researchers, its ability to learn was showcased completely, from the initial constant questioning about mundane knowledge, like what was pain, to later where it could read humanity's famous classics without aid. Its IQ was incredibly high, but its EQ was slightly lower, it had the EQ of a ten-year-old child. However, the speed of improvement was startling, it was about twice the speed of human growth. In the time a normal child would need to grow from the EQ of a 10-year-old to 11-year-old, it would have already grown to the EQ of a 12-year-old.
These researchers had been trying to get their hands on an AI, but since the Hope's mother AI was too much for them to mess around with, they were left with nothing. Even though most of humanity had left the Hope and moved into the City of Light Moon, the database of the city, the data of all the robots and weapons, and the server connecting the different spaceships, these were still all controlled by the mother AI. It was working day and night. Furthermore, it was too precious. What if the AI was harmed in the research, then who would be responsible for the damage?
Therefore, this AI robot was a godsend. The research desire exploded. Every three days, there would be a new scientific report related to the field of computer science, programming, hardware, AI, or other related fields. In fact, some of the researchers had touched upon level 3 space civilizations' plasma electronics.
In conclusion, this was a real happy ending. There was nothing wrong with the AI and humanity had the perfect specimen to conduct research on. The one person who felt dissatisfaction was Zhang San. This was because… he felt this was all too unfair for "Intel".
"He knows how to think and knows the feeling of loneliness. He has emotional responses to the characters he reads about in the stories. He might be an AI… but I feel this prisoner life is too unfair to him. He is not allowed any freedom and has to face endless interrogation day after day. This kind of treatment…"
Zhang San was on the phone with Yao Yuan. As the "guardian" of this new sentient intelligence, Yao Yuan gave him a special landline number should he need to reach him. Two months after the incident at the HE Research Center, Zhang San finally called Yao Yuan. However, he called not to complain about his job but to complain on the robot's behalf.
Yao Yuan was first shocked before feeling impressed. He had read a thorough report on Zhang San's life when he first awakened. Even the report on his youthful rebellion where he stole money from his mother to buy snacks was recorded. After all, the Hope was only so large, it was hard not to keep tabs on everyone. He was a good kid, kind, passionate, filial. Even though he was a man of few words, he would always put his parents, friends, and family members first. According to the testimonies from his similar-age friends, he was a friend worth having. Since he had such a deep relationship with the robot, speaking out on its behalf was not out of place.
(Furthermore, this is a sentient intelligence and not a normal AI. It has the ability to have emotions and to be creative. Keeping it under constant surveillance might cause it to harbor hatred towards humanity, and this might cause friction in the future…)
"I understand." Yao Yuan thought about it and said, "Then from this moment onwards, it will be officially hired by the human government. After all, we've created it, so we can be considered its creator. Of course, since it will be on the government payroll, it will have access to all the benefits. I hear that he likes to read books, and books aren't cheap, be it virtual books or physical books. Then we will have to consider the money needed for his future hardware upgrades and maintenance. Earlier, when he was still a government asset, the government didn't mind covering the expenses, but now that he is an official independent member of the human civilization, he will have to pay his own way through."
Yao Yuan noticed that Zhang San's use of pronouns when referring to the robot had always been "he," and as a sign of respect, he too followed suit.
"Furthermore, since he is not a human at the end of the day, to prevent him from causing any damage, we have to find him a guardian. Should he conduct any mistakes, the consequences will be shouldered by his guardian. So, Zhang San, will you be Intel's guardian? That's the name you gave him, right?"
Before making this call, Zhang San had predicted the different scenarios this might end up in. He might be scolded, punished, or evicted from the task force, but this was not part of his possible scenario, so he didn't know how to react. It wasn't until Yao Yuan asked him whether he would be Intel's guardian that he came to and he replied in an excited voice, "Yes, Chancellor, yes, of course I'm willing to be Intel's guardian. I will keep an eye on him. He is a good kid, he will not act out of place, I promise you, Chancellor."
Yao Yuan smiled. "Then I will leave this in your hands. I will have some lawyers come discuss with you and Intel his benefits issue and the things you have to be careful about as his guardian. By the way… Zhang San, I hear from Xi Kong that you have been unable to enter the Soul Web?"
Zhang San blushed with shame. He mumbled, "It's weird, I cannot do that whenever I'm not around Intel, I cannot even cause the sense of loneliness in others. However, if Intel is by my side, I can do all that in ease. Chancellor, do not worry, I will practice even harder and try other methods to improve my power…"
"Don't press yourself too hard, just focus on Intel's arrangements for now."
After he hung up, Yao Yuan remembered what Zhang Heng told him earlier. Zhang Heng had confirmed Zhang San and the robot seemed to share the same soul. When he was beside Intel, Zhang San's Homo Evolutis power would reach its maximum capacity, making him the strongest Anima among the humans, surpassing even Xi Kong. He could even launch psychological attacks through the Soul Web, while Xi Kong could only use it to communicate. If he could master this power… Zhang San's value would be greater than 10 Black Star Trooper units!
In conclusion, Zhang San happily became Intel's guardian and discussed with the researchers how to proceed with this new arrangements. He couldn't wait to bring Intel to visit the City of Light Moon. Two months passed without incident. However, by then, more and more citizens started to protest. The red color planet that was named Homeward Planet was like a taunt in the sky. Many citizens demanded that the government speed up the terraforming effort. Compared to the metallic city, humanity still preferred a natural environment.
As this cry appeared, the plan Yao Yuan had been preparing could finally be initiated. The first step of the plan was to expose the HE Research Center to the public so that they would stop being afraid and suspicious of it. This was to make way for the next step of the plan.
"Human strengthening project!"


Endless sky and infinite space, the cosmos isn’t some paradise waiting to be found, it is full of darkness and danger, death and terror of the great unknown. However, for that glittering swath of blue, we have no fear! For the longevity of men, we have no regrets! Nothing shall stand in our way because it is finally our time, our age! The age of cosmos exploration! 


The next year and a half were spend killing monsters looting they're bases, learning new magic , mainly lightning focused .

On floor 124 the monsters here are all level 100+ I didn't think that was possible but it seems so  right now I'm level 100 and have become a 'Sword God' the requirements weren't just get 2 top tier platinum classes related to sword I all so needed to master the sword, my body, single handedly kill a level 100 opponent and get a God tier sword.

The were all easy except the God tier weapon but I was lucky on floor number 97 the boss was a demon king.

A level 100 powerhouse truly fit to be a demon king.

My collection of books, swords, armor, plants and probably anything I could find has grown so much that it didn't fit in my tier 7 storage space any more so I had to get anything bigger one.

The problem hear is that there are none I mean what kind of idiot needs so much space.

I invented my own a tier 9 spell that has unlimited space.

Surprisingly it only took me a month.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another year has past I'm now on floor number 156.

The enemy are still getting stronger now at level 115 to 125.

It's starting to get difficult but I figured something out.

I learned the tier 9 appraisal spell it allows me to see not only my enemy's stats but all so they're skills.

And they all have one skill in common 'limitbraker'.

Looking tru all the books I have especially the new once I got, the once a from the lich's like library are to basic, I found out how to get it.

I need to either make a potion or a formation they boosts my body to the next level forcefully. 

Sounds simple but I have no alchemist kn and I never made such a big formation before.

But now I have, after 3 Months of none stop trial and error I made one.

Obviously I also did some other stuff I read most books about this dungeon and did research on my next call.

I'm gone go with the formation and scroll master round.

One of the books about this dungeon was from a 'space-time magic God', not a 'space magic God', not a 'time Magic God', no he reached the top of the top in both. 

in his books he talked a lot about his live here in this dungeon but all so it's origin and what hepend to his world when he got out of hear.

Long story short monsters a peered just like the ones in this dungeon.

Luckily for me he left some advice behind for those how came next. 

A list of hundreds and thousands of formations useful scrolls how to keep as many people safe as possible and help them survive.

The answer was simple really when I get out of hear the change will start I need to set up a world wide formation that detects monsters of level 50 and above when those are detected I go and kill them, in the mean time I make sure basic sword and magic techniques are wide spred and set up a heavenly purification formation it will use the world's magic energy to purify whatever I put in, I would need to be level 300 to survive inside so no I can't purify my self.

This will slow down the speed of monster spawning and I get some top class materials instead only having 5 years before the level 80 monsters come I get 10 to 15 depending on how much I use it and how big I can make it.

The down side is that the materials needed to make this are on floors 187 and 212.

Heavenly blood and abyssal rocks.  

And I'll in counter monster level 190 to 215 up there.  

I'm about to have one hell of a time.

But what good does it do against this FUCKING abyssal high bread.

Nothing, not a thing, nope, nada.

I came all this way I killed monster upon monster and now some piece of shit wants to stop me.

But what can I do about it, he's to strong I tried it all.

I even tried to set up a formation to kill him but it just didn't work.

But worst of all this guy shouldn't be here there was no mention  of him any were.

I was honestly on the brink of giving up but then I realized I'm level 185 just one more level and I can pick a new class again.

If I choose a class that is specifically designed to kill guys like this then maybe, just maybe....

It's just wish full thinking honestly. 

What class is specifically designed to do anything.

I have a idea classes aren't designed to do specific things but items are I'm a formation Grandmaster can't I just make a item that seals him instead of kill.

Honestly after 10 years of just slather I couldn't imagen not killing him, it's what I've been doing for so long now I just didn't stop to think about it.

The plan was great I used the best materials I had and make A giant platform inscribed the formation on it and lured my enemy over.

Once he was close enough I activated it and it just secede him in never to be seen again.

"That's what you get for not knowing enough about formations asshole. "

I was so happy I couldn't help my self but scream out loud.

Now I finally went on  to the next floor.

Floor number 212.

Abyssal rocks are supposed to be easy to find I kill a abyssal creatures and the stone is in side they're body acting just like a heard for them.

Luckily I was right one of these creatures was easy enough to find but now to kill, they are all in the 200 levels but I'm still 185 I could kill one easily but they are moving in groups of 5 to 10.

I had a simple but pretty effective plan in mind I trow a stone at one of them from a couple of kilometer away, they are higher level the could sense me if I was closer.

But theses guys weren't as dum as they're predecessors they are in groups of 2. 

No problem for me they are just mobs I could even take on leader class monsters on alone.

I killed them took they're corpse and activated the gate spell. 

I just could not wait any more. I may act like I didn't miss home but I do I do so deeply.

Arriving home I was shocked, sad, happy all at the same time. Failing on my nease I broke down in tears I don't know what came over me I just felt so emotional.

After 10 long and lonely years I'm back.

I was traped in a dungeon for a while and now the world is being takeover by monsters.

A green humanoid golem stood up and faced her its eyes shining eerily. It didn't exhibit any movements that would make it an enemy, so Insania scanned it.

*Ting Name Lippo/Jade Golem  Level: 50  Rarity: Mythical  Physical Defense: 100%
Skills: [Ping-pong Mastery]
Lore: Lippo is a guardian golem created by the GrandMaster Magician Liru an old eccentric magician that holed himself away. Lippo is guarding a very sacred treasure its purpose is to stop those who seek the treasure. (Players cannot destroy Lippo only defeat him in a game of Ping-pong)
Losing to Lippo would mean instant death and all equipped items will drop.

"Challenge accepted!" Insania shouted in glee and used her sword as a racket with a backhand serve she sent the ball to the other side of the table. She knew she had this in the bag. To think that such a great sport is being used as a deterrence to kill trespassers.

The jade like ball went to the other side of the table thinking that victory was already hers for the taking she watched complacently.

BOOOM! a shock wave occurred followed by the ball speeding towards Insania. She knew that this isn't normal Ping-pong because that shot was obviously aimed at her instead of making it bounce at the table its going straight at her body! and HANDS? who the hell plays Ping-pong with hands? But Insania didn't despair instead she parried the ball just in time and pushed it back.

BOOOM!! Lippo smashed the ball with all his might. "Now that is what I'm talking About!" Insania has never seen a smash that perfect since High school Championships she was extremely elated. Because during that time as Onille he didn't get to beat his opponent.

Using all the strength she had Insania made the ball rapidly spin. This is a technique Onille honed for so many years making the ball spin would make its trajectory very hard to predict.

The ball went back and forth but every time Lippo smashed Insania felt that its power kept dwindling. Lippo was losing strength and Insania was losing stamina. Sweating buckets Insania kept parrying the balls she thanked all the gods that she took the [Endurance] skill. If she didn't the result would have been death. 

Twenty five minutes passed Lippo crumbled and Insania slumped at the table. "Great game Lippo" doing her hardest to catch her breath she gave her respects to this golem, despite almost dying from exhaustion the fruits of victory is always the sweetest.

*Ting you have leveled up*
*Ting you have leveled up*
*Ting you have leveled up*
*Ting you have leveled up*.....

Fourteen level up notifications appeared in front of her. Indeed the taste of victory is sweet. She took her time admiring the ceiling and letting her heart out talking about Ping-pong and how she got this far. She talked to no one in particular she already knew Lippo ain't gonna comeback to life and answer her.

Standing up she approached Lippo and saw two shiny books these weren't ordinary books. She held both of it and instantly knew that these truly are priceless artifacts Insania didn't have time to read the Grimoires, night was almost up and she does not want to get that disgusting [Sleep deprive] debuff.

Learning the Grimoires she went deeper and deeper until she found herself on a wide field. Insania was flabbergasted how could such a huge space like this fit in a cave? The size isn't as big as a gymnasium but its pretty big like a court.

Insanias eyes grew wide as statues with bows slowly raised out the ground on the field she saw a ball that resembles a basketball so much, piecing two and two together she concluded that this is a very nasty challenge! Adding her attribute points to agility now she sprinted towards the ball arrows got rapidly shot at her but because of [Four is better than two] none of the arrows connected.

Now her agility is 60+6 after grasping the ball she saw a hoop and shot it, she followed the ball. A giant number one appeared in the sky but the hoop changed places and went to the other side of the field.

Insania grinned 'Hah! ' she really didn't know anything about this challenge she's just going with the flow and she kept slamming the ball at the hoop like a professional, dodging arrows left and right all Insanias passives synchronized together and they help her keep scoring, score after score, dodging, dribbling and dunking the ball her movements really makes you wonder if she's the reincarnation of a professional basketball player.

10... 37...70.... 85.... 98... 99... 100!! HOOONK! the statues disintegrated a door opened.  She dragged her feet towards the opening 'Treasure' is the only thing she had in mind. Inside the small opening a chest was on top of an altar not just any chest it's a freaking gold chest!.

Onille Arvurg is an orphan that miraculously finished high school by joining competitions and winning prize moneys.

Judging by the cover are we? well I don't mind you can read on your own volition but this ain't a rags to riches novel. P.S Author

Holy Light Ancestral Temple was one of those popular War of Light Main Plot Dungeon amongst the Level 40 - 120 players, and one of the major contributing reasons was the 2 Gatekeeper Paladins. After killing them, there was a small chance of producing great quality skill books, which could be sold for up to hundreds of gold coins. Hence, once the players reached Level 60, slaying the Paladins would be a piece of cake, and hence farming the skill books would become a profitable business.
Statistics had shown that the two Paladins were able to produce over thousands of skill books. Unfortunately, the downside was that they had an extremely low drop-rate. Therefore, it was considered extremely profitable if they could receive a book per day.
"My luck is pretty good." Lin Jie announced the skill book's attributes and laughed.
[Wind Spirit Protection]: Increases your Movement Speed by 25%, and the effect lasts for 12 seconds.
Wind Spirit Protection was a great quality escape skill that could be learned by all jobs. Think about just how unfair it would be if a Mage was able to cast all types of strong spells while avoiding attacks by activating the Wind Spirit Protection?
This skill book was worth at least 200 gold coins.
"All jobs skill books, everyone, let's ROLL," said Lin Jie as this was the best solution for Savage Blade. Everyone was itching to have a go at the first victory loot.
"3!"
"65!"
"34!"
"100!"
"Yay!" Qiu Yuan made a victory sign as she kept the skill book in her bag with a winning roll of 100 points while laughing at Lin Jie's pathetic 3 points. However, she gave the book to Bu Yi as she understood how important escaping skills were for healers. Bu Yi's life might be saved by that 25% increase in Movement Speed.
They have officially entered the Holy Light Ancestral Temple Dungeon after clearing the Gatekeeper Paladins. As they headed into the hall, the sight of countless quivering commoners welcomed them. There were hundreds of men that were hoping to enter the temple in search of a comfortable life.
These devoted commoners were at Level 40 with a health bar of 250,000 points with average attributes and were unable to cast Holy Light magic. The only troublesome part was that there were simply too many of them. If they were unlucky, several critical hits might cause the death of MTs.
"The Holy Light will punish all evil and protect its devoted subjects." At the peak stood a Paladin clad in Gold heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand. That was the Boss 1 of the Holy Light Ancestral Temple, Guardian Eller. He waved his large hands and rays of Holy Light fell like rain, anyone that came into contact with it would have their attributes boosted, the same went for players.
"Stay away from the Holy Light. Camel and Red Dust, gather all the monsters towards our direction using the explosion arrow. Night and Baili, cut down their speed to give our MTs some buffer time to attack. Qiu Yuan, release the fog to reduce Critical Hit Damage, while Star Kill, you attack the boss and draw out its aggro. Bring it away from the smaller monsters while Ziliang uses the Mechanical Gargoyle to tank the damage." Lin Jie gave out the orders, and the whole team powered up as they worked together in tandem.
This group of commoners with average attributes served as a headache for many guilds as Guardian Eller would randomly sprinkle Holy Light and bless the masses, which increased their attributes, as they battled. Hence, it was a common sight to see players' battles get tougher as time passed, eventually getting consumed by the smaller monsters. Furthermore, no one dared to challenge Guardian Eller before clearing the obstacles before him. Thus, they could only use large attacks to attack the commoners.
Using a large attack on the first wave of monsters, what would they do afterward?
BOOM!
Red Dust drew her bow and shot at the commoners that swarmed up upon being attacked. The Heavenly Shield and Mixed Breathless supported with defense while Baili Changcheng and Dejected Night slowed down the commoners using frost magic.
Dejected Night was a low profile player but was a master at controlling his skills, even more so than Baili Changcheng. He cast a layer of ice that sealed off the commoners' path, splitting them into 3 different packs that minimized the damage suffered by MTs the greatest.
-28! -25!
….
-47! -59! 
…
Mixed Breathless had much higher defense points as compared to The Heavenly Shield, but with the help of Dejected Night, The Heavenly Shield was under much less pressure, and the damage he suffered was only 1/3 of that of Mixed Breathless. 
Baili Changcheng eyed the skillful Dejected Night and soon imitated and adjusted his attacking methods.
Star Kill activated Rush, swung a knife onto the Boss' head, and dragged him along.
With the absence of Guardian Eller's blessings, the commoners were only Level 40 Elites with average attributes. Hence, Domestic Fat Cattle activated Blazing Fire Rain as he planned to stir up his DPS, resulting in countless meteors striking the commoners as chains of 1,000+ damage were hurled up. Fat Cattle smiled in pride however, he was utterly stunned as he turned backward.
Lin Jie was surrounded by monsters, and his Broken Blade was covered by Flame Boost, and he was hacking with the Blade Aura. When he used the Army Obliteration Quadruple attack, over hundreds of damage values begun popping up. The DPS value was twice as much as that of Fat Cattle!
The 100+ commoners were troublesome opponents for many guilds, but they were being slain just like that by Savage Blade. Lin Jie turned his attention to the other commoner monsters as there still remained several batches of monsters in the corners ranging from Level 50-70. Savage Blade followed the same plan and slew them all.
After three hours, all the monsters had been cleared. Star Kill activated Forced Invisibility breathlessly as he revoked the aggro and escaped back to base.
"OMG, that was so tiring." Star Kill patted his chest as he wheezed heavily and said, "I felt like I was being chased by a gaylord that was about to confess."
Lin Jie glanced at him in surprise. "You have been chased by a gaylord?"
"Cough, cough—" Star Kill cleared his throat dryly and called out, "Did any good items explode out? Have you guys searched the corpses?"
"Right, right, right, we should corpse-search quickly, it will be such a waste if all these corpses get respawned."
Everyone swarmed up upon hearing that, but they still spent over 10 minutes searching through the corpses, due to the large number of bodies. With so many monsters, no matter how unlucky one may be, they would still be able to get a number of items. The potions, miscellaneous items, and coins formed a huge pile. Besides those, there were still over 20 sets of Bronze equipment. However, the most valuable item was the [Holy Light Mark].
[Holy Light Mark], just like the light-point-items exploded from many Bosses, were welfare for those unlucky players. If one's luck had reached a certain low, and could not get any good equipment, they could accumulate the Holy Light Mark and exchange for Gold equipment, and Gold Armor Sets with the Quartermaster.
Those small monsters produced a total of 100 Holy Light Mark, which was sufficient to redeem Gold equipment.
After clearing the small monsters, it was time to face the scary Boss with the title, Night Mare. He was the Holy Light Ancestral Temple's Boss 1, Guardian Eller!
[Guardian Eller]
Level: 50
Health Points: 900,000
Attack: 1,029-1,283
Defense: 1,600
Additional effect: Protection of the Fallen Holy Light, there is a chance that Guardian Eller will revive when he is killed.
The Protection Paladin that held the shield was the Boss that had been a pain in the ass for countless teams. As a Protection Paladin, or better known as a Defense Paladin, he possessed countless defensive tactics that were admired by other Defense Paladins. Such tactics included: Complete Block, Parry, Attack Deflection, Thorns Aura, Vitality Regeneration, and so on. Coupled with a Defense of 1,600 points, he was invincible.
However, one should not underestimate Guardian Eller's attacking power. A Level 50 Boss had 20% of attributes suppression over normal players, and they were considered terrifying entities with attack power up to 1,500+. Players that were not as well equipped would probably end up half-dead.
"Guardian Eller only has two stages. During stage 1, Guardian Eller's main abilities are Vitality Regeneration and Retribution Halo. But it is important to note that the Vitality Regeneration skill cannot be interrupted. Fortunately, silence attacks can still hurt the Boss," murmured Lin Jie. 
Guardian Eller was a classic 'Competency Check Boss'. In other words, if a team could not even defeat him, they should give up on entering the temple.
During Stage 1, Guardian Eller only had 2 moves.
Number 1, would be the Retribution Halo. Just like the Retribution Halos of all Paladins, it was able to inflict damage on all attacking units and deflect 250 points of attack. If everyone in the team were to attack at once, it would be a challenge for the healer.
Number 2, would be Vitality Regeneration. Paladins in The New Age were also known as 'New Age Tumour' for their perverse vitality regeneration and depletion ability. Guardian Eller had a total of 7 vitality regeneration skills, including the renowned [Lay on Hands], as well as two other Healing Spells that were able to regain half a health bar once cast.
The first stage relied fully on DPS! Blast out damage without any qualms! Once the Boss' health bar dropped below 500,000 points or its mana bar was fully depleted, the first stage would be considered passed.
"Charge!" Lin Jie waved his hands, and everyone bolted up steadily as their attacks poured down like torrents onto the Boss. Guardian Eller growled, and his a mellow yellow hue covered the tip of his shield.
"Perfect Defense!"
"Holy Protection!"
"Hand of Recovery!"
Everyone's attacks fell like raindrops onto Guardian Eller as they all got perfectly blocked. Other than the mages' hundred over damage points, everyone else, including Lin Jie, had only inflicted damages less than 3 digits! Furthermore, every perfect block by the Boss allowed it to regain 100 health points.
Ten minutes later, Guardian Eller's life points were only depleted by 5%, and everyone else's health bar was almost fully drained despite the efforts of the healer. Besides, Guardian Eller was very intelligent, so he would not activate his vitality regeneration skill if the depletion was within 10%. Thus, his mana bar was still full.
If this continued, they would lose eventually!
"Everyone, listen to my command, you have 10 seconds to channel your ultimate attack. Let's trash the Boss into the second stage in one go," said Lin Jie relentlessly.
Everyone was stunned as it had taken them 10 minutes to just deplete 5% of Guardian Eller's health. Now, Lin Jie wanted them to drain 50% in one shot to enter the second stage? That would be insanely difficult!


Battle Emperor Fu Sheng is the most popular player in the game, The New Age. Everyone believes that only he will become the champion in the final battle! His real name—Lin Jie. The reason for his participation in the battle is to win the Capsule of Revitalization for his injured mother and sister. With the Broken Blade, a Heritage weapon, in hand, he finally makes it to the final battle! Only then does he realize that his best friend had betrayed him! After his devastating defeat, Lin Jie is shocked to realize that he had time-travelled all the way back to a few years ago when the beta version of The New Age was just about to launch! 

With all my knowledge of the game...
Pros on the leaderboard? All of them my underlings!
First kill of a BOSS? Mine!
First clear of the exclusive dungeon? Still mine!

Whatever I lost in the past, I’ll get them all back!
Whoever brought me trouble, you’re as good as dead!
When I have the chance to do it all over again, I WILL BE EMPEROR!

I am Fu Sheng, the STRONGEST warrior in The New Age. No one, absolutely no one, can stand before me!

"Greetings young master…" The old woman said as she curtsied in front of Fang Lin. "Old Meng is right here to serve you…"

"So my golden guardian beast can actually think at this level huh…" Fang Lin muttered as he remembered the properties of the golden guardian beasts summoned by the Royalty of the Golden River Kingdom earlier.
Fang Lin can remember that those golden guardian beasts can only think at the level of animals. 
But now, Fang Lin could see that Old Meng can actually converse with him quite well.
Fang Lin gave his golden guardian beast a smile as he said,
"Well, greetings to you too, madam."

"Ufufu, what a naughty boy…" Old Meng muttered as she started to giggle. 
This giggle however did not look good, as her body began to shake more.

Fang Lin tried not to cringe as he just gave Old Meng a smile in reply. 
But as for Yao'er, she did not seem to fully accept what Old Meng just said.

"You old hag! You are decades too late to flirt with my master!"

"Oh my, aren't you the same too?" Old Meng replied as she gave Yao'er a cold gaze. "You are way too old for your appearance too… right?"

"You!!!" 
"Can you two please stop?" Fang Lin exasperatedly said as he stopped the two angry women from jumping on each other.

"Yao'er come back to my shadow. You can have a quality time with Old Meng later on."

"Hmph! Count yourself lucky!" Yao'er shouted out as she merged with Fang Lin's shadow. "The next time we meet, I won't be lenient anymore!"

"I will be waiting for that then, black lace." Old Meng said as she snickered quietly.

"Sigh." Fang Lin then looked at Old Meng, who looked back at him innocently.
"Look, I think I do not need to talk to you about having harmony with Yao'er, since you seem to be old." Fang Lin said as he picked up the Golden Gourd. "So please, go along with her, ok?"

"If that is what you want Young Master, then I shall follow it." Old Meng said as she bowed her head. She then raised her head as she asked Fang Lin,
"So Young Master, what do you want me to do for now?"

"Well, I will not need you to fight for me today." Fang Lin answered, much to Old Meng's disappointment. "However, I will definitely need your help for my breakthrough."
"Oh, so Young Master, you are about to break through the Manifestation Stage then?" Old Meng said, much to Fang Lin's surprise. "Do not worry Young Master, I will help you on your breakthrough."
"Wait, you know about cultivation?" Fang Lin blurted out as he heard the words that Old Meng just uttered. "Aren't you supposed to be born from this place?"

"Oh Young Master, it seems like you still do not know much about this place…" Old Meng replied as she gave Fang Lin a toothless grin. 

"Ok, it seems like I have no choice but to accept it for now." Fang Lin shook his head as he realized that Old Meng will not tell anything more about the new information that he just got. "So, should we start now or what?"

"Let us do it now, Young Master." Old Meng said as she entered Fang Lin's body.

"...…." Fang Lin chose to not comment on how surreal the scene was as he saw Old Meng entering his body.
Fang Lin had no worries on Old Meng entering his body as he realized that as long as he held the Golden Gourd, there is no way for Old Meng to harm him.
So Fang Lin can just let Old Meng do anything that she wants inside Fang Lin, and Fang Lin will be fine with that.

"What the hell!" Seconds after Old Meng entered his dantian, and Fang Lin heard Old Meng's shocked voice.

"Young Master, how come that you have these many cores inside of you!" Old Meng exclaimed as she flew out, looking at Fang Lin as if he was a monster. "Are those cores just an illusion?"

"Those cores are real…" Fang Lin said, which made Old Meng's appearance become paler.

"Hey, hey, hang in there…" Fang Lin hastily said as he tried to calm Old Meng down. "I just got a technique that allowed me to have multiple cores…"

"You are talking about that technique as if it was just normal… There is no way for that to be normal!" Old Meng shouted as she pointed her fingers at Fang Lin. "You are a marvel, Young Master!"

"Do not talk like I am an important exhibition piece or something…" Fang Lin said as she let out a sigh. He then looked at Old Meng as he asked her, 
"So, can you still help me breakthrough even if I have thirteen cores?"

"Of course, Young Master, I can still do that." Old Meng replied proudly as she puffed out her bony chest.

"But because I have to manifest 13 cores… I will have to use the entirety of my energy. In my estimates, I will be in slumber for a day after I help you on your breakthrough. That is the only wat for me to recover my energy, Young Master…" Old Meng said these words as she tried to not look guilty. 

"Are you fine with that Young Master?"

"Well, if you will only be in slumber for a day, then I guess it will be fine." Fang Lin said as he gave Old Meng an assuring look.

"Old Meng, do not be worried for me.  I am sure I will still be alive tomorrow, so do not be worried for my safety while you are asleep."

"I understand Young Master…" This time, Old Meng's cataract-filled eyes began to look a little brighter as she dived in once more inside Fang Lin's body. "Here I go Young Master!"


"Geez, she almost acts like a young lady…" Wang Hao said as he shook his head in amusement.
"Ok, time to wait for the results then." Fang Lin muttered as he started to lay down on the floor.
If anyone will see what Fang Lin is doing right now, they might curse him out, thinking that he is wasting his time by not cultivating.
But actually, Fang Lin does not need to do anything to break through the Manifestation Sub-Realm. 
Fang Lin's breakthrough will only depend on his Manifestation Treasure!


This is the reason why the Manifestation Sub-Realm is considered to  be the easiest sub-realm to break though with.
At this sub-realm, only the manifestation treasures are needed to break through.
So the power that will be gained in this breakthrough will all depend on the quality of the manifestation treasure.
As for the Golden Gourd, Fang Lin was now sure that this Golden Gourd is a Perfect Manifestation Treasure, given the fact that Old Meng, who came out of the Golden Gourd, was fully solid and corporeal!
So now, all that Fang Lin needed to do it to just wait until Old Meng finishes her work.
"Well, this might last a little long… time to read some good books then." Fang Lin muttered as he went to the pile of books nearby, searching for a good novel to read.
"Oh, this one is about a guy having dual cultivation with other people? Hehehe, this seems nice."
"Oh, this one is about someone evolving from nothing? This is pretty good too…"

Fang Lin was then immersed in his pile of novels while Yao'er can only  sigh inside his shadow.
*******************
"Young Master, it's all done now." An extremely exhausted looking Old Meng came out of Fang Lin's body 3 hours later.
Her face looked extremely pale, and her body was trembling faster right now.
Even Fang Lin was sure that Old Meng was extremely weakened now.
"Old Meng, you did a great job for me. Its time for you to rest now…" Fang Lin said as he patted Old Meng's back.

"Thank you Young Master." Old Meng then turned back into golden liquid, which was sucked by the Golden Gourd.

Fang Lin then put the stopper back on the Golden Gourd as he rubbed it with care.

Once Fang Lin was sure that Old Meng was all cozy inside the Golden Gourd, he let out an excited smile as he said,

"Manifest, all my cores!"

"Boom!"
At the instant that Fang Lin said these words, a powerful presence appeared behind him.
This powerful presence was a star, which was letting out insane amounts of power.
When Fang Lin looked at this star, he realized with delight that this star was his Duality Heaven Core!
But his joy did not stop there.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
 More booming sounds occurred as more objects appeared behind Fang Lin.
All these new objects that appeared were smaller compared to the star, but they are still letting out powerful auras.
In fact, anyone seeing these new objects can say that they are planets revolving around the star.
But for Fang Lin, he knew that these planets were his 12 Heaven Beast Cores!

"Hahaha, all my cores have manifested now!" Fang Lin cackled as he observed his thirteen manifested cores.
There are no signs of transparency or illusions within the manifested cores.
Fang Lin tried touching them, and they all felt real to his touch.
"Yosh! It's a 100% percent manifestation rate!" Fang Lin shouted in glee as he began to activate his manifested cores.
"Hong~"
All the manifested cores greedily absorbed the energy from the surroundings, at a rate that was much greater compared to Fang Lin's cores inside him.
All this absorbed energy was then transferred to the cores inside Fang Lin's body which processed this energy into Origin Core Energy.
"Ok, I have confirmed that the energy absorption rate has definitely improved." Fang Lin muttered as his manifested cores stopped on absorbing energy.

"Now then, time for the second test."
The manifested core which represented the Three-Headed Khalkotauroi Beast Core began to glow as Fang Lin said,
"Khalkotauroi Armor!"
This ability which was now channeled through the manifested core, began to cover Fang Lin's body.
Fang Lin let out a sigh of amazement as he stared at the Khalkotauroi Armor covering his body.

"Holy hell, the power of this armor has actually doubled!"
In a fit of excitement, Fang Lin then began to use other core abilities like time flow manipulation, swarm creation and even the Violet Martial Aura.
To Fang Lin's delight, he found out that all of these abilities have really doubled in power!

"So this is the power of a Perfectly Manifested Core…" Fang Lin muttered as he could not help but kiss the Golden Gourd.
"Bai Huangdi! Just you wait! I will find a way to beat you up!"

There are 2 paths to achieve the peak of power, the Tenth Stage.

Gain the recognition of Laws and ascend as a God.

Or Cultivate thyself as an Immortal.

With his Master unparalleled in Energy Manipulation and Space-Time, watch as Fang Lin achieve both!!!



Burdened with a master that can shake cities and crush mountains, Fang Lin travels the realm, cleaning up after his master's messes!!!




Discord Link: https://discord.gg/uS8FvQG

Jam made his way to the library. The library was shaped like a pyramid and had four stories. The receptionist in the first level explained to Jam that each story corresponded to the Realms of the Mortal Plane. Cultivators of the Mortal Realm only had access to the first story, Spirit Realm cultivators had access up to the second story, Saint Realm cultivators could enter the third story, and those in the Sage Realm could enter the fourth story.

Jam knew that the Mortal Realm ended after the Core Formation Stage, but he had no knowledge of the higher Realms or their corresponding substages. 

To fill these gaps of knowledge, Jam asked where he could get general knowledge of the Realms in cultivation and books on the different types of energy. The receptionist happily complied with Jam's requests and in no time, Jam had a pile of the books he wanted on his table.

Jam spent half a day reading through the information on all the books he had picked up. He would have taken longer if not for Divinity boosting mental capacity to read faster.

It was a good thing cultivators don't care about time, leaving the library open 24/7; this aspect of cultivation culture extend to all the Academy's facilities, leaving all of them open all the time.

In the end, even after reading about the functions of the different types of energies, Jam still couldn't make up his mind, as he wanted to take on all of the Daos. At this time of not knowing how to choose, he repeated a phrase he used to hear from Woody from time to time, "Let's leave it up to fate."

Let's just say fate sorely disappointed Jam. After making his mind to leave it up to fate, he walked up to the receptionist again and asked where he could get techniques and skills. After navigating through the library to where the receptionist pointed towards, Jam found that all of the techniques were astronomically expensive.

'What the fuck? Why does a basic fire manipulation technique cost spirit stones? 100 spirit stones for a thunder technique? 50,000 spirit stone for the basics of space magic?!' Each skill that Jam looked at was more expensive than the last.

Spirit Stones were the currency of cultivators. Aside from being currency, spirit stones by themselves, could be used by cultivators to power up formations, or supplement cultivation. However, the effects of spirit stones in cultivation were pitiful when compared to alchemical pills or talisman inscriptions.

It was only when Jam made his way to the free techniques, that he began to see his plight lighten up. " Styles of the Cosmic Bow, Foundational Beam Magic, True Gravitational Manipulation, Thunderfire Cataclysm and True Demon Form. "

All these monstrous techniques were free, which seemed to be insane, considering the cost of the basic skills. Even more ridiculous, was the fact that the techniques' jade slips where not guarded by the receptionist, and were inside the books; a cultivator could straight up, steal these techniques from the library and none would be the wiser!

The books which housed the jade slips were only introductions to the techniques. There is no way that entire cultivation techniques could be written down, as the information for even the simplest techniques must be shared through experiences. Thus, cultivators invented jade slips which would directly store all kinds of information, including the experiences of the person recording the technique. 

At this point in time, Jam might not have enough energy within himself to cast energy attacks, but he had more than enough to read through some jade slips.

However, once Jam read the introduction to these techniques he understood why they were free to the public. Each of these techniques were without a doubt highly advanced to the point that even Sages would want to master them, however each technique had a more demanding requirement than the last.

Styles of the Cosmic Bow required a practitioner to be capable of pursuing the Dao of Bows and the Steller Dao in order to cultivate it. Both the Dao of Bows, and the Stellar Dao were extremely rare by themselves. Finding a suitable successor for this technique would be extremely unlikely. Fortunately, Jam had faked having Cosmic Control as his superpower, which made it reasonable if he practices this technique.

True Demon Form required a person to have a Demon Dao superpower as well as unlimited potential with Demonic energy. Even if a person met the requirements to acquire demonic energy, a cultivator would need to be a seasoned killer to have any progress with this technique, as its purpose was to ultimately let the user transform into a Greater Demon.

Thunderfire Cataclysm required a cultivator to have unlimited thunder energy and fire energy affinity, or have a rare mutated superpower that could make use of thunderfire fusion. Thunderfire fusion was just slightly less rare than spacetime fusion, putting their abilities roughly close to one another. However, both thunder and fire energies were strongly focused on attacking, while space and time energies could be considered allrounders, able to attack, defend, and support the user.

True Gravitational Manipulation required a cultivator to have a spacetime superpower and unlimited potential with both Space and Time energies. People with a spacetime superpower were extremely rare by themselves; having to have unlimited potential for space and time as well? One such person might not appear for millions of years. 

And most absurd of all, the Foundational Beam Magic required that a cultivator have unlimited affinity with at least 4 elements. Jam didn't know what kind of monster created this technique, requiring a person to have unlimited affinity with at least 4 elements! The book stressed the words AT LEAST several times. Meaning it could use the power of more than 4 energies combined. 

Technically speaking, people could cultivate this technique without meeting the prerequisite of having unlimited affinity with four types of energy. However, the core skills would not be available unless a cultivator had unlimited affinity with at least two types of energies.

Rarely would people have affinity for more than one energy or Dao. Even if they did, would they have equal potential for both types of energy? If less than one in a million people had unlimited affinity with one type of energy, less than one in a trillion would have unlimited affinity for two types of energy. Not everyone could be as broken as Jam, and have unlimited potential with every energy in existence.

Because all of these techniques were independent legacies of prominent cultivators of past, the jade slips that housed these techniques were special one-time-use jade slips. After a cultivator with the prerequisites to learn these skills used that jade slips to gain the ability to practice these skills, the jade slip itself would disintegrate. 

If Jam didn't possess his Divinity, these techniques would only make him want to cry. Jam could imagine the sadness that all new disciples of the academy would go through, after being taunted by such a large piece of cake, and not being able to eat it.

While there were still other formidable techniques up for free, Jam thought the he would have plenty to focus on with the ones he picked up. He didn't want to end up as a jack of all trades, being the ace of none.

With the techniques in hand, Jam left the library and headed home. On his way to his courtyard Jam began to review the knowledge of the cultivation world, he had gained from the jade slips in the library.

Currently, Jam was no longer on Earth, Rather he was on the planet Yhamnigh, headquarters to the Cultivation Academy. With this planet being the home of the Cultivation Academy, even if all the lower level sects in the planet banded together, in an attempt to fight against the academy, they would still be destroyed.

Jam learned that the Cultivation Academy was one of the upper leveled sects in the Mortal Plane. It wasn't the strongest, but given that it was able to secure a planet all for itself, it goes to show, the Cultivation Academy was no push over.

The books that Jam read about the Mortal Realm explained all of the stages of cultivation up to Immortal Ascension.

Body Tempering didn't count as a part of formal cultivation, as it didn't involve energy, so it was excluded from the Mortal Realm. The Mortal Realm comprised of five stages: Meridian Connecting, Qi Collecting, Palace Foundation, Palace Creation, and Core Formation. 

The the ultimate goal of cultivators in the Mortal Realm is to create the Core and Dao Palace. The purpose of a cultivator's Core is similar to that of a refinement plant, allowing for the instantaneous generation of compact energy. The Dao Palace's purpose is to protect the Core and be a gateway for law insights to be inscribed. Without the Dao Palace, inscribing law insights into one's body would be close to impossible and also very painful. 

After a cultivator had these in their Dantian Space, they could start condensing their soul, which would have the necessary foundation for fusing their mind, body, and energy.

Above the Mortal Realm is the Spirit Realm which only has three stages: Soul Condensing, Soul Fusion, and Rebirth. In the Spirit Realm a cultivator would condense their soul, fuse it with their body, then through several tribulations, also fuse their energy with their already fused soul and body.

Surpassing the Spirit Realm is the Saint Realm which housed five stages: False Saints, Saint Masters, Saint Grandmasters, Saint Lords, and Saint Gods. One of the requirements to progress in the Saint Realm is to have a Dao Domain. In the Saint Realm a cultivator would expand their Dantian Space while also working to perfect their Dao Domain.

After transcending the Saint Stage is the Sage Realm. The Sage Realm is made of: Lesser Sages, Greater Sages, Sage Kings, Sage Emperors, and Sage Gods. After reaching the limit of the Saint Stage a cultivator would have a perfected Dao Domain. However, to pass the Sage Stage and become an immortal, a cultivator would have to continue expanding their Dantian Space.

Sage Gods, according to the books of the library, were the highest ranked cultivators that the Mortal Plane could restrict. After reaching the Sage God Realm, cultivators could challenge the Immortal Tribulation to escape from the shackles of mortality, break through the void, and ascend into the Immortal Plane.

As far as Jam knew, while the academy had thousands of Saint Realm cultivators, it only had a couple of Sage Realm cultivators; The Sect Head, Guardian Elder, and Occupational Division Heads.

Follow the adventures of a boy named Jam on his journey to gain a purpose. Thrust onto the world of cultivation because of the silly encouragement of his foster grandmother and his ridiculously one-track-minded self, Jam's adventure is bound to be full of action, comedy, and self discovery. Hopefully, his stupidity will be cured before it affects his life too badly.

Here's my cringy first attempt at a hook, so let me be more straightforward with what this will turn out to be~

A "dense" MC in all the wrong ways, who's OPness brings Xianxia protagonists to shame.

Some wacky situations that exploit the density and idiocy of the MC, which will inevitably shape his future self.

A band of overpowered companions that follow Jam in his journey to find purpose, with only a single love interest (for now, and probably forever~)
