 ( 1 HOUR PAST BY TALKING ABOUT EACH OTHERS LIKES AND DISLIKES )

June 4th, 1992.
Daphne Greengrass was in the Slytherin common room, writing a letter to her Lady Mother (who was surprisingly intransigent about power-sharing, despite not even being in Hogwarts to exercise control) when she saw Draco Malfoy stagger in through the portrait door carrying what must have been a dozen books, Vincent and Gregory behind him each carrying a dozen more. The Auror who'd accompanied Malfoy stuck his head in briefly, then withdrew to who-knew-where.
Draco looked around, then seemed to be struck by a bright idea as he staggered toward her, Vincent and Gregory following after.
"Can you help me read these?" said Draco, sounding slightly out of breath as he approached.
"What." Lessons were over, only the exams were left now, and since when did Malfoys ask Greengrasses for help with their homework?
"These," Draco Malfoy said importantly, "are all the library books Miss Granger borrowed between April 1st and April 16th. I thought I'd go through them in case there are any Clues there, only then I thought, maybe you should help because you knew Miss Granger better."
Daphne stared at the books. "The General read all that in two weeks?" A twinge of pain went through her heart, but she suppressed it.
"Well, I don't know if Miss Granger finished them all," Draco said. He held up a cautioning finger. "In fact, we don't know if she read any of them, or if she really borrowed them, I mean, all we've observed is that the library ledger says she checked them out -"
Daphne suppressed a groan. Malfoy had been talking like this for weeks. There were some people who clearly were not meant to be involved with mysterious murders because it did strange things to their minds. "Mr. Malfoy, I couldn't read all these if I spent my whole summer doing nothing else."
"Then just skim through them, please?" Draco said. "Especially if there's, you know, mysterious words scribbled in her handwriting, or a bookmark left inside, or -"
"I've seen those plays too, Mr. Malfoy." Daphne rolled her eyes. "Don't we have Aurors now for -"
"We're doomed!" shrieked Millicent Bulstrode, as she burst up from the lower chambers into the Slytherin common room.
People paused to look at her.
"It's Professor Quirrell!"
A sudden air of attentiveness, as of long-standing disputes about to be settled. "Well, finally," someone said, as Millicent tried to catch her breath. "He's only got, what, ten days left to go bad?"
"Eleven days," said the seventh-year who was running the betting pool.
"He's gotten a little better suddenly and he's going to summon the first-years for our Defense final! By surprise! In fifty minutes!"
"A Defense final?" Pansy said blankly. "But Professor Quirrell doesn't give exams."
"The Ministry Defense final!" shrieked Millicent.
"But Professor Quirrell doesn't teach anything from the Ministry curriculum," objected Pansy.
Daphne was already fleeing to her room, racing for the first-year Defense textbook that she hadn't touched since September and screaming curses inside her mind.
One desk back of her, someone was crying, their soft sobs providing a background chant of despair for the classroom. Daphne looked back, expecting to see a Hufflepuff and hoping it wasn't Hannah, and was surprised at first (though not on further reflection) to see it was a Ravenclaw.
Before them were set the exam parchments, turned over, waiting for the bell.
Fifty minutes hadn't been nearly enough preparation time, but it was something, and Daphne was now feeling ashamed that she hadn't thought to send messengers to warn the Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor Houses. They'd started giving House Points again just three days ago, at the beginning of June, but the Auxiliary Protective Special Committee still ought to promote House unity.
Another Ravenclaw, sitting four desks to her left, also started to cry. That was Katherine Tung of Dragon Army, if she recalled correctly, whom she'd once seen take on three Sunshine Soldiers simultaneously without a flinch.
Daphne had calmed down after the first couple of minutes of frantic reading. It was just a test, not a murder or anything; and if almost all the first-year students turned in mostly blank parchments then it stood to reason that nobody would be shamed. But Daphne could understand, if not exactly sympathize, that Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs might not see it that way.
"He's evil," another Ravenclaw witch said in a shaking voice. "One hundred percent pure Dark Wizard to the bone. The Dark Lord Grindelwald wouldn't do this, not to children, he's worse than You-Know-Who."
Daphne looked reflexively at where Professor Quirrell was sitting, slumped to one side but his eyes alert; and she thought she saw the Defense Professor smile for one tiny instant. No, that had to be her imagination, there was no way the Defense Professor could have heard that.
The bell rang.
Daphne flipped the parchment over.
The top was stamped with the seals for the Ministry, the Hogwarts Board of Governors, and the Department of Magical Education, and runes to detect cheating. Below that was a line for her to write her name, and a list of exam rules with a picture of Lindsay Gagnon, the Director of the Department of Magical Education, shaking an admonishing finger at everyone.
Halfway down the page was the first exam question.
It was, Why is it important for children to stay away from strange creatures?
There was a stunned pause.
One student began laughing, she thought it was from the Gryffindor section of the class. Professor Quirrell made no motion to censor it, and the laughter spread.
Nobody spoke aloud, but the students looked around at each other, exchanging glances as the laughter died down, and then as if by some unspoken agreement they all looked at Professor Quirrell, who was smiling down at them benevolently.
Daphne bent over her exam, wearing a defiant evil smile that would have done proud to either Godric Gryffindor or Grindelwald; and she wrote down, Because my Stunning Hex, my Most Ancient Blade, and my Patronus Charm won't work against everything.
Harry Potter turned over the last page of his Defense exam.
Even Harry had needed to quash a small bit of nervousness, some tiny remnant of his childhood, upon reading the first real question ('How can you make a Shrieking Eel be silent?'). Professor Quirrell's lessons had spent roughly zero time on the surprising yet useless trivia that some idiot had imagined a 'Defense class' should look like. In principle, Harry could have used his Time-Turner to read through the first-year Defense book after being notified of the surprise exam; but that might have unfairly skewed the grading curve for others. After staring at the question for a couple of seconds, Harry had written down 'Quieting Charm', and included the casting directions in case the Ministry grader didn't believe that Harry knew it.
Once Harry had decided to just answer all the questions correctly, the exam had gone by very quickly. The most realistic answer to more than half the questions was 'Stunning Hex', and many of the other questions had optimal solutions along the lines of 'Turn around and walk in the opposite direction' or 'Throw away the cheese and buy a new pair of shoes.'
The last question on the test was "What would you do if you suspected there might be a Bogeysnake underneath your bed?" The Ministry-approved answer, Harry could in fact recall from his read-through of the textbook at the start of the year, was Tell your parents. The problem with this had occurred to Harry right away, which was why Harry had remembered it.
After some pondering, Harry wrote down:
Dear Ministry grader: I'm afraid the real answer to that is a secret, but rest assured that a Bogeysnake would present no more trouble to me than a mountain troll, a Dementor, or You-Know-Who. Please inform your superiors that I find your standard answer prejudicial to Muggleborns, and that I expect this failing will be corrected at once without any need for my direct intervention.
Sincerely, the Boy-Who-Lived.
Harry signed the last parchment with a broad flourish, turned it over into his stack, put down his quill, and sat up.
Looking around, Harry saw that Professor Quirrell seemed to be looking in his rough direction, though the Defense Professor's head had nodded to one side. The other students were still writing. Some of them were silently crying, but they were still writing. Continuing to fight was also a lesson Professor Quirrell had taught.
Interminably later, the official exam time was up. A seventh-year student went from desk to desk, collecting the exams in Professor Quirrell's place.
The last exam parchment was collected, and Professor Quirrell sat up straight.
"My young students," he said softly. The seventh-year student had her wand trained on the Defense Professor's mouth, so that they all heard his voice seeming to come from right beside them. "I know... that probably seemed very fearsome to some of you... it is a different kind of fear from facing the enemy's wand... you must conquer it separately. So I... shall tell you this now. It is the custom of Hogwarts... that grades are given in the second week of June. But for my case... they can make an exception, I think." The Defense Professor smiled his familiar dry smile, tinged now as though by a suppressed grimace. "I know you are worried... that you were not prepared for this exam... that my lessons have not covered this material... and I quite forgot to mention... that it was approaching... though you should have known... it would come in time. But I have just now magically checked... the answers you have given on that... terribly, terribly important final exam... though of course only the Ministry grade is official... and assigned your full-year grades taking the results into account... and magically written your full grades down on these parchments," Professor Quirrell tapped a stack of parchments on the side of his desk, "which will now be handed out... an incredible spell... is it not?"
A few students on the Ravenclaw side were looking indignant, but for the most part the students just looked relieved, and some Slytherins were chuckling. Harry would have laughed too, if not for the pain of watching Professor Quirrell gasp out the words.
The seventh-year student standing beside Professor Quirrell pointed her wand and spoke an incantation in magical pseudo-Latin. The parchments rose up and started to drift through the air, separating in mid-flow to drift toward each student.
Harry waited until his parchment had arrived on his desk, and then unfolded it.
The parchment said EE+, which stood for Exceeds Expectations. It was the second-highest grade letter, the highest being Outstanding.
In another world, a distant vanished world, a little boy named Harry would have shouted with indignation about receiving only the second-highest grade. This Harry sat quietly and thought. Professor Quirrell was making some point, and it wasn't as though the exact grade letter mattered in any other way. Was Professor Quirrell saying that Harry had done relatively well, but not lived up to his full potential? Or was the grade meant to be read literally, that Harry had in fact exceeded the Defense Professor's expectations?
"All of you... pass," Professor Quirrell said, as the students all looked at their final grades, as sighs of relief rose from desks and Lavender Brown raised her parchment in a clenched fist held high with triumph. "Every student in first-year Battle Magic has passed... except for one."
A number of students looked up in sudden terror.
Harry sat there silently. He had seen the point immediately, and even if it was a wrong point, he knew Professor Quirrell would never, ever be talked out of making it.
"All of you in this room... have received grades of at least Acceptable. Neville Longbottom... who took this test in the Longbottom home... received a grade of Outstanding. But the other student who is not here... has had a Dreadful grade entered on her record... for failing the only important test... that was given her this year. I would have marked her even lower... but that would have been in poor taste."
The room was very quiet, though a number of students were staring angrily at the Professor.
"You may think that a grade of Dreadful... is not fair. That Miss Granger was faced with a test... for which her lessons... had not prepared her. That she was not told... that the exam was coming on that day."
The Defense Professor drew in a shaking breath.
"Such is realism," said Professor Quirrell. "The only important test... may come at any time... be better prepared for it... than she was. As for the rest of you... those who have received Exceeds Expectations or above... have received my letters of recommendation... to certain organizations beyond Britain's shores... where your training might be completed. They will contact you... when you are old enough... if you still appear worthy... and if you have not failed an important test. And remember... from this day... you must train yourselves... you cannot rely... on future Defense professors. Your first year of Battle Magic is over... you are dismissed."
Professor Quirrell sat back with his eyes closed, seeming to ignore the excited babble that broke out around him.
In time most of the students had departed, and one remained, staying a prescribed distance from the Defense Professor.
The Defense Professor opened his eyes.
Harry raised the parchment with its EE+, still silent.
The Defense Professor smiled, and it went all the way to those tired eyes.
"It is the same grade... that I received in my own first year."
"Th, th, th," Harry couldn't make the words thank you come out, they were stuck in his suddenly closed throat, the Defense Professor tilting his head and giving him an inquiring stare, so Harry just bowed jerkily and then left the room.

Now it's time for my rebellious teenage years. (Wait, all this happened in one month?) Hm? Oh yeah, all in July. (The explosion in Central Park, that was you?) Yep, like I said, new power. (Crenshaw's nonsense about a child reaper, also you?) Yep. (Wow, a 9 year old, wrecking this much havoc.) Yeah, I'm surprised *you guys* are just now finding me. (Well let's continue.) Yeah, let's. 
1998, It was the beginning of my 7th grade year. I'm 13 years old and I've gotten used to my powers. Soul Sight was the hardest to get used too, because by then, I could see ghosts. 
Well the technical term for them were "Grounded Souls" or "Lost Souls", but I still call them ghosts. They were pretty annoying at the beginning, but I learned how to tune them out. I even had a friend, her name was Kimberly. 
Kimberly was a teacher who had recently died that year, she died in a traffic accident on her way home. She tutored me a lot, most of things I know now, I learned from her. I guess she took the place of Tommy, we split up after we left Brooklyn Elementary. He also moved to California a few weeks later. Wonder what he's been up to... Anyway, back to middle school. 
There was a certain incident that gave me a nickname in school. They called me, The Quiet Kid. "Be careful around The Quiet Kid, he'll kill you..." they said. I was the kid everyone was afraid of, but I wasn't completely alone, Kimberly was always with me. it was actually the day of the incident that I met Kimberly. 
Tuesday, September 8th. It was a steady school day. I was in 4th period, ELA. We were Beginning to reading Number The Stars by Lois Lowry. After the events with my late father, I stopped talking to people. So after a while, it was hard for me to talk to people, even if I wanted to. On that day, everyone had to read a paragraph from the book aloud. 
Luckily there were 6 other kids who had to read before me, so I could practice my paragraph. 1 by 1, kids were blowing through their paragraphs until, "Okay Michael, it's your turn to read." said Mrs. Daxter. 
I stood up. I was so nervous, I could barely hold the book. "G-go! s-shouted a-a-annemarie..." I stuttered. "T-t-today junior!" shouted Gregory Thomas. Another school bully no one likes. He's been bullying me since 6th grade, I was getting tired. "You should go back to Elementary school if you can't read!" He shouted again. I've had enough. 
I sighed, gently placed the book on my desk , smiled and turned to him. "Boy, I know what you're going to do, and it's not a good idea. Stand Down." Valixus said in my head. "I'm not gonna do anything, I'm just gonna talk to him." I said aloud. Everyone looked at me confused, they wondered whom I was talking to. 
"Ok Mr. Alvin you can sit down now, we can skip you." Mrs. Daxter Interrupted. I ignored her and began to walk towards Greg. All eyes were glued to me. I stood in front of Greg's desk. He scoffed, "What do you want, loser?" Greg asked. I leaned into his face and said "Get. The Fuck. Up." with a smile. 
My eyes were red with anger. "Pfft! What? You want to start somthin with me?" He mocked. "Alright, pipsqueak, I'll humor you." He stood up as well. "Alright, I'm up, watcha gonna d-" I punched him. 
He went soaring across the classroom. He was knocked out, but not from the landing. Gregory was knocked out from the impact of my punch hitting his face. But the more I remember it, it wasn't my punch that hit him, it was Valixus's punch. When I went punch Greg's face, my fist got covered by a big red. It disappeared after I hit him. 
I unlocked a new power that day, as well as a new name. Everyone knew after that day to "Never mess with The Quiet Kid." I got suspended for fighting as well. A week of suspension and 3 weeks detention.

Afternoon came quickly and the cultivation resources had reached her hand already. There were some high grade earthly jades too. 
'Daddy must want to deceive himself as well'.
She went to her backyard, her cultivation room was there. It was near her main chamber in the past but when she chose to give up on cultivation it was demolished as she felt frustrated. Her eldest brother was against it and she made a tantrum; they reached a consensus and was rebuilt in her backyard.
"Bing Nan, Bing Er will be in charge of my courtyard. You go to daddy's yard and look for Hong Shi; he will help you with your training".
"Eh! Yes. I thank Master's grace".
"Sigh, you just don't change". She shook her head and entered her cultivation room, "Take care and don't work too hard".
"Yes". Bing Nan answered aloud and left after she heard the clicking sound of the door closing.
An Bing Qing didn't lose time, as soon as she closed the door, she entered the black sphere with a thought. Just as she opened the book, she was immersed with it.
Time fly and she closed the book. She instinctively reached for the following book. She was so engrossed that she didn't get surprised when she was able to pull it out. Ten pages or so before finishing it, she jumped from the floor and looked toward the first shelf and the books out. 
"Two books?!" She excitedly drooped to her knees and reached for the next one, but was heavy like a mountain. After trying for a long time, she gave up; she began to read where she had left on the cold ground…
She read the last word and she raised her head. She blinked and her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked to the next book. Her eyes were like those of a starving wolf, hungry to devour what it was in front of it. She crawled to the bookcase but didn't reach for the book. Her gaze was deep and thoughtful; she quickly lost her patience and took it decisively. Her pull was with both hands; it was strong and she fall back with the book. 
"Ouch!" Tears flowed out because of pain but the wide grin imprinted in her rosy lips betrayed such an emotion, turning them in joyous tears. The next book was in her hands! Furthermore, she now had the gist of this place. The books followed a sequence and you can't read the next until you had finished the previous one. This mean she will be able to read all the books of this place! She flipped her body over to lie down on her tummy and began to increase her knowledge.
Three months later, she had swallowed each word wrote on every page in the books from this room. The place was a complete mess with books everywhere and some pieces of earthly jade here and there, she didn't care and fall asleep on a pile of books. The lady looks she had before were replaced by a haggard one but her pretty face had a gleeful smile as she hugged one of the books in her sleep. 
The sun and moon changed places a couple of times and her eyes finally trembled in sign of waking up. She opened her eyes slowly; they were still drowsy and some saliva was in the corner of her mouth but she was enchanting like a bud in bloom. 
She closed her eyes again as she wiped her mouth with her sleeve; it was gooey. 
"Gurgle, gurgle..." Shortly after, hunger came. She frowned and reached for the green qiankun bag tied up to her white sash. Inside, there was a purple one; it was the best one. There were only a couple of low grade earthly jades, her frown worsened; she took them out and drained their energy till the nail-sized jades became dust. She had filled her belly with energy and not food all this time; thanks to this and the fact that she had been mental and physically exhausted, her cultivation grew steadily with no bottlenecks without training seriously. The fact that she changed immortal cultivation techniques was the most helpful, of course.
Her grumbling stomach didn't stop; she didn't endure it anymore and opened her heavy eyes with reluctance. "Huh? Was I sent out from the sphere's space?" She sat on the floor and sighed in relief after few seconds, "I still can feel it. Was it because I read all the books?" She was puzzled but she had no time to ponder as she has to digest the last dozen of books' information to not forget it later; as she usually does. 
Many hours later she got up and strode towards the cultivation room's door.

Things have been rewritten and a fallen Phoenix with bounded wings has been reborn between heaven and earth. Can fate be changed? Will it be for the best? Love and grief go hand in hand through the path of a Phoenix. The higher you climb, the harder the path.

Note: Because I still haven't written anything strong, I changed the audience range.

Classroom Chaos: So in 8th grade I used to read during class a lot. At the time I was reading an Artemis Fowl book, and for some reason I had two copies of the same book. So one day in my English class we were reading this other book (which I had already finished reading three days earlier), I was reading my own book and when it was finally my turn to read, I had no idea where we were. So the teacher took my book away, I found my spot, read the part and passed it to the next person to start reading.

So after I read my part, I took out my second copy of Artemis and picked up right where I left off. Skip a few minutes ahead, gets back to my turn to read, and again I don't know where we are. So teacher takes a look at me, sees the book in my hands, then back to her desk obviously confused for a second. But shrugs it off knowing it's me she's dealing with (I've caused similar problems like this before), takes my second book and puts it on her desk, and makes me read my part.

Now my friend that sat two chairs down from me was also reading Artemis at the same time as me and with a quick look to him he knew exactly what I was planning. He took it out and passed it over without hesitation. I opened to a random spot and just pretended like I was reading. (At this point it was just to mess with my teacher.)

So skip forward again and my teacher sees me with the book again and says, "How many of those do you have?" I gave my smartass remark as "enough." She took away that book, too. But now at this point I was out of books, and the rest of my class knew it. But the teacher didn't know I was out. So she continued with her lesson and another friend of mine took two of her books and switched out two of the Artemis books on her desk to make them look like they were still there.

He passed the books slowly around the room, one at a time, until they were back to me. Then I took one out, opened to a random spot and just kept it open, waiting to get caught. I silently signaled to a few people in class and they started laughing. The teacher looked at what they were laughing at and saw me with yet another book. She looked at her desk where there were seemingly 3 Artemis books and saw me with a 4th. She took it, walked back to her desk, put it down, turned around, and saw me with the second book that got taken back on my desk!!!

The teacher thought she was going to win this game but underestimated my teamwork with my classmates. So the second she came over to me to take the seemingly 5th book, another classmate took back the other two books from her desk and split them up—sending one to me one way, and the other another way.

The teacher was very flustered and laughing hysterically at this point and there was no more teaching going on. The entire class was also going ballistic trying to see who would win. It was just a game of "How many books does this one 8th grader have?"

So at the end of the class she thought she had taken 11 books from me. I took pity on her and told her what was really happening. I told her that I had already read the first book, and all the teamwork that went on. We were both laughing and making jokes. In the end she agreed to let me read my own books as long as I kept track of the actual book we were reading. (Meaning, I ask the person next to me tell me when it's my turn and they point out my spot to read so I don't actually have to keep track.)

Later, I arrive at the library. It was look like a huge tower with five story level. From the outside it looks like ordinary high tower. But, on the inside it enchanted with wide space rune. There are two guard with knight armor that guard on the outside. There are also a lot of student that come in and come out of the library.
I enter the library without any hassle. After doing confirmation that I am student from the academy at the front desk, they let me in. The receptionist guy also tells the rules in the library. Some of them is the permission to loan the book outside the library like it was in Earth.
After entering the inner part of the library, talking that it was big is really still underestimate it. The inner size is so big like two times of world championship football stadium. Even though I already know from my 3D map but seeing it itself is more amazing than just know. 
There are many row of bookshelf and space to read for student and teacher. The place also illuminated with magical lamp continuously since there wasn't any kind of opening from the outside beside the main entrance. However, the air is still circulating properly. There are also several stairs that can lead to upstairs floor with people guard it. Moreover, the upstairs also has the same wide as the 1st floor up to the 4th floor.
With this size of library even with my super comprehensive technique, I doubt I can read all the book here even after I graduate. No wonder royal academy famous with the most complete skills information and teaching in Moreva. Fortunately, there is a panel from a pedestal that help student looking for books. So, student will take short time to search the book that they want.
I search all the books that related with brain and stuff. I found about more than 100 books that containing about the topic with majority related to magic. Apparently, only magician job that touching with brain stuff for their efficiency of learning magic/spell easily. I took all the book that related to brain each floor to my space storage then go to 4th floor. 
There are only few people in the 4th floor since the one that can access are teacher or student from class A and S. In the 4th floor there are many private room for people to read their book there without any interference. After I collect all the book, I found an empty private room and come inside it. I start to reading all the books that I store in my space storage.
Later, I learn that there are already people who create spell or enchantment for increasing their brain limit. Some of them a note research that fail and some of them is just a basic understanding. There is also a particular spell formula to increasing the brain limit. But, there is many defect on it and never be tested.
Human brain can store memory more than a million gigabyte data. What I want is not increase the memory but increasing the processing of my brain. If a computer has too many data but can't process it, the computer will freeze or can't work properly. That also happen with human brain. With Greed's comprehensive technique, I already tap the limit of human brain can process.
Inside human brain, there are billions of neurons that work by electric signal from the nerve system. In the spell formula that I found, the spell only makes the neuron work harder than usual which not quite safe for the brain itself. It just like you overclocked processor of the computer which is not good in the long term.
I bet the one that found the spell formula, don't really understand the structure of brain and how it really works. I use the spell as base and modify it with my knowledge from modern earth. Finally, I finish the spell formula to increase my brain limit which is should be safe.
Unfortunately, the magic consumption to active the spell is quite huge and making it eight-star level spell. The effect also not last long about an hour or so. I try to make some change to make it permanently. But, it need ridiculous amount of mageforce about five times normal eight-star level spell.
Since I still can't hold that much mageforce, I plan to build a tool that can store this huge amount of mageforce and use it to cast the spell. There are already some tools like that in this world with various kind of shape, starting from wand, staff, circlet, ring, and any other accessories.
Majority of them, using mana stone as the core to store the mageforce. There is also some other material to use. But, mana stone is the most common material to build that mana storage. Mana stone produce naturally by nature and can be mine across the Hirth. Mana stone also came with different kind of element depends the location mana stone found. 
Mana stone that found in the nature can only store one element of mageforce. It need some high class alchemy skill to make it store more than one element. The more element it can contain the harder the process. Until this day, there is only three elements mana stone that being created by a group of genius alchemist after a long process and meticulous work. The probability to success also not more than 20% which is very small probability to mass produce it.
The spell that I just create is consist of three different elements such as water, fire, and time. It means I need mana stone that contain this three element. I hear fire and water element is easy to find but I never hear time element mana stone. Moreover, fire and water is opposite each other element which is the smallest probability to fusion it together.
Fortunately, I already learn the process to fusion the mana stone during my study with my mother. Even though the most I can do is fusion two elements that complement with each other. Mana stone is quite expensive and rare in the market. This is also one of the reason why not many alchemists like to try fusing mana stone with different element. However, I can use the same trick that I used during my try to fuse two element mana stone.
This trick can only be done by someone with perfect affinity in space element and master at controlling mageforce. Mana stone may produce by nature from being constant get exposes to high density of one element mageforce overtime. 
Mana stone also have grade from the lowest is lesser mana stone, medium mana stone, greater mana stone, and grand mana stone. All this stone has different density of element and size. The lesser mana is the smallest at the size of small baby hand and the grand mana stone is the biggest at the size of coconut fruit with the highest density.
By using this principle, people with perfect affinity element can create artificial mana stone according to the element affinity. They can make an ordinary hard stone to being exposed by high density one of the element mageforce. This process is quite hard since it takes a long time to turn the stone into mana stone about a half month. Moreover, it need a lot of concentration to accumulate high density of one element mageforce from the surrounding.
I can shorten the time by disperse the other element and only focus on one element. I can shorten from half month to only few hours which is already huge leap. Even though, I also need more concentration to do this but it quite effective. The mana stone that I can produce is variety that depending on the size of the stone. The bigger it is the higher grade that I can produce but also take more long time to turn it into mana stone.
Shortly, after done planning my course of action. I leave the library after put back all the books in their respective spot. When I leaving the library, it is already dark outside and past dinner time. I decide to back to my dorm.
As I arrive at my dorm, I found Eve sleeping in the living room alone. It seems she waiting for me. I approached her who is still sleeping soundlessly. I pinch her nose without making other sound. After a while, she starts to wake up after can breathe properly.
"My cute Eve, why are you sleeping here? If you really tired why not sleep at your room. Don't tell me you afraid to sleep alone in your room?" I asked while teasing her again. 
"Ahh… Yosep, no who is that afraid to sleep alone. It just.. It just.. You come back lately. I am afraid something might happen to you so I wait here for you to come back." She response with more blushing.
Hearing her response, I immediately hug her and apologize her to make her worry. Without asking I carry her in princess carry to my room. At first, she struggles a lot from the embarrassment. 
But, after I said, "Eve, as apology I will accompany sleep with you. Don't worry I will not do anything to you like yesterday as long as you don't ask for it." I said to her teasingly.
She started blushing remembering yesterday event. Shortly, we arrive at my room. As soon as I close the door, I kissing her passionately while undress her clothes. I bring her to bathroom and having shower together while not stopping my kissing and caress her body. 
Finally after give up from all my teasing, "Yosep… please no more.. I feel weird." As she can't stand properly.
"Eve, if you want to stop I will stop. But, I want you to only feel this way with me and not with other people. I want to become your special man that you will only think about." As I started to wash her under develop body carefully. 
Surprised by my sudden declaration she said, "If it is Yosep, I don't mind it. You already a special person in my hearth. But, we should take it slowly. I still don't know much about you."
Then, I hug her and drying her wet body. At this moment, "Eve, sleep with me tonight and the night after. I want to embrace you every night." I stated my honest opinion. 
She started blushing and nodded, "If it only embrace each other it was okay. But, no more than that. Okay?"
"Well, I will not do it anything as long as you asked me to do it. For example, if you want to feel like yesterday again when I touch you. Let me tell you first, my lovely Eve, you will never feel the same things if you do it by yourself and with other people. Moreover, if you doing it by yourself, you will start longing it for more and more. So, promise me to only let me help you do it when you want it." As I kissed and embraced without waiting her response. Later, we feel asleep in each other embrace.

"You wanna know something?"

"What?" He wanted to start conversation so I decided to play along. It was gonna be a long ride back to the house either way, so might as well try to make conversation.

"You always try to ignore problems, and your strategy is to start driving. So tell me how much do you love me Mira.?"

"Well, I know one thing for sure. I'd cross a desert and an Ocean to get away from you!" I grinned as I watched his expression change from cocky to mad.

"Why?" Self esteem drop from 10,000 to 0. "Well dear Husband sorry to be the one to tell you this but your kind of a pain in the ass, and besides I rather read a book peacefully than listen to your nagging."

"What? I do not nag, don't like to me Mrs Peru. I am one of the most funnest people to be around. Why would you waste your time crossing a desert and an ocean just to get away from me, your a girl you wouldn't do it." Since when did we start calling each other from each other's surnames. Besides if he really wants to try the whole 'Your a girl you can't do that' than I'll show him. 

When I say I will cross a desert and an Ocean to get away from the pain of his storm, I'm sure it'll be worth it.

"You really wanna try me Mr Peru. Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't do it. I am a very outgoing person crossing a desert and an ocean would be a piece of cake."

"You girls are so extra." Just then he changed in a snap as If I had done enough damage to his little virgin heart. "You know what just shut up and continue driving, if we get in a crash you might ruin my handsome face."

"But what about me husband, I have one of the most beautiful faces out there. Just look at me I'm just too beautiful to damage."

I continued to laugh as I teased him the entire ride home. And when we did get home the first thing he did was check the girls make sure there were no bruises or any signs of violence. He then asked them if the nanny had hit them which they both answered with "no". He would be a really great father, but a husband not so much.

I then went to the private library I have in my house which is stored with all my favorite books, and my favorite genre romance. I had fallen in love with romance books in the 4th grade, when I read my  first romance book "Macarons at Midnight." It was such a beautiful book that every single time I went to the library I would go to the romance section. 

So now that I am older I have a whole library of just romance books. I was looking for a book to read when I heard something drop behind me.

I turned to see and it was Kaden that sat there staring back at me. "What do you want, I'm not in the mood to talk right now. I want peace and quiet and I will find that in my books."

"Aww, but don't you wanna admire me right now."

"You know Kaden, the boy's in my books are better looking than you, so...try harder next time.!"

I sat down on the couch next to me as I had already picked out the book I wanted to read. Thirty minutes had past and yet Kaden remained there looking at me read. 

When I read I have a very serious face, so I think he found that amusing. The book I was reading was pretty thick so I was gonna be in here for at least an hour.

It was until I reached the middle of my book, when my stomach started growling. I guess my stomach is in the mood to eat. So I quickly ran to get a bookmark at my table. I put it in my book and left my book on my desk where I could easily find it.

I left the library and went into the kitchen, I had expected Kaden to follow me. But he seemed to have stayed in the library. What kind of business does he have in there?

She’s Broken, she feels dirty, she feels like she has sinned. Her mind kills her soul even more every single day. She’s breaking, all because she’s fighting her past.

Kaden makes it his mission to help her, to get her out of this hole she has single handily climbed into. Along with the help of Miras twin daughters he sets off on his mission. But that doesn’t mean that he succeeded.

Unfortunately for Kaden, Mira was already too deep inside that hole. Now it is only up to her, to decide her fate.

　"Gaining insight, into the way of the Heavens?" Thoughts were spinning in Qing Shui's mind as he heard this.
　　Qing Shui recalled the state of enlightenment he had previously attained, and he knew well the tremendous benefits which originated from it. Every time one completes their meditation in a state of enlightenment, the benefits gained far surpassed 10 years of hard work. But other than enlightenment, was there no other way to gain insight into the way of the Heavens? There seemed to be no other way indeed. After all, gaining insight into the way of the Heavens depended on an individual's karma and destiny, the majority of the cultivators would never experience that special state of enlightenment throughout their entire life! Some would even have an encounter similar to Qing Shui, entering that special state, but not at the peak of Houtian!
　　Unconvinced, just as Qing Shui wanted to ask Qing Yi about other methods that would allow one to gain insights of the way of Heavens, Qing Yi interjected.
　　"Qing Shui, we have arrived at the library!"
　　Qing Shui looked down and realized that they had already reached the end of the path. In front of him, there was a 3 story building constructed entirely from heavy stones. A secretive and slightly oppressive feeling permeated the atmosphere. There were no windows in this building, even the door entrance was built out of thick slabs of solid rocks!
　　The width of the door was roughly about 3m in length, with a height of 4m. Hanging atop the door was a plaque carved with 3 words , "Qing Clan's Library"!
　　The stone door to the library was tightly shut. At the end of every year, the library would only be open for a period of two months. During these two months, disciples with cultivation level equal to or higher than the 6th Grade of Martial Warrior would be able to enter the and have the opportunity to select from the vast collection a martial techniques that were suitable for their cultivation. During the other ten months, only direct descendents of the Qing Clan had the opportunity to enter. The remaining disciples could only enter during the last two months of the year.
　　This was the first time Qing Shui had seen the library. After all, the Qing Clan still had it own rules. Although the collection does not consists of many rare and valuable books, there were still many martial techniques and heterogenous books like the
　　(Continental Medical Annal) lying around.
　　Other than martial techniques, there were also cultivation arts that were located in the 3rd and 2nd level of the library. Those relatively more common books and martial manuals with a lower grade would usually be placed in the 1st level. Qing Clan's disciples who reached the required level of cultivation, are allowed to browse through the books and manuals, and even copy them down. The only restriction is that you would not be allowed to divulge the clan techniques to outsiders!
　　Walking to the entrance, with an exertion of force that could not be considered light nor heavy, Qing Shui eagerly raised his hands and knocked 3 times on the stone door. "Boom, Boom, Boom" the sound reverberated across the lawn.
　　After a moment, the heavy stone door opened, a senile looking old man with cloudy eyes and a head full of white hair appeared. Qing Shui stared mutely, the attire of this old man was totally different from what Qing Shui expected from someone like this. The old man looked like he could not be bothered with the slightest bit of personal hygiene, yet his clothes were the epitome of cleanliness.
　　"Elder Lin, I brought Qing Shui over to the library to borrow some books!" Qing Yi greeted the old man respectfully.
　　Looking at her smile, Qing Shui felt that Qing Yi had quite a deep relationship with this old man.
　　"Ah, so it is you, little kiddo Qing Yi, come in, come in! It has been ages since your last visit." Elder Lin warmly smiled. After saying that, he glanced at Qing Shui. The cloudy look in his eyes was replaced by an instance of clarity, but it quickly faded back to normal.
　　"So you are Qing Shui, good… very good!" Elder Lin with a face full of smiles, praised Qing Shui twice in succession, Qing Shui felt very surprised, for he knew that Elder Lin rarely complimented people. Even Qing Zi nor the genius Qing You had never received compliments from him before.
　　"Grandpa Lin, Qing Shui greets you!" Qing Shui bowed low as he respectfully greeted Elder Lin.
　　"Young man, hahahahaha", Elder Lin for God knows what reason, had his lips curl up in a smile.
　　After which, Qing Shui and Qing Yi followed Elder Lin as he led them into the library.
　　The moment they entered, Qing Shui realized that the space within was much larger than what he had previously imagined, and there was almost no natural light in the library. The only source of light was emitted by the few panels of Jadestone pearls attached to the wall. The light the pearls emitted was soft, but was sufficient for users of the library to read what they wanted to clearly.
　　Past the panels of the Jadestone pearls, were rows and rows of ancient looking wooden bookshelves. From an initial glance, the wood materials used in construction of the bookshelves looked old and dilapidated, but upon closer observation, the wood was actually thick and heavy, giving observers a solid and durable impression.
　　With that half-bent back, and that slouching posture, Elder Lin looked so old, one could almost mistake him for a fossil. It was said that Elder Lin had been the caretaker of the Qing Clan's library since tens of years ago!
　　"Elder Lin, I want to borrow some books on elementary medical knowledge for Qing Shui" Qing Yi said.
　　Elder Lin slowly lumbered towards an inconspicuous corner of the library, and pulled out a few books that were covered with dust. He slightly patted the books to displace the dust and returned.
　　During the whole process where Elder Lin was retrieving the books, Qing Shui has been constantly monitoring Elder Lin's movements. He had a intuition that this keeper of the library Elder Lin was not the senile and confused old man he appeared to be. Qing Shui had the feeling that this old man in front of him was actually a terrifyingly strong expert! But after that thought flashed past his mind, Qing Shui silently laughed it off. After all, the strongest in the Qing Clan was Qing Luo, how strong could Elder Lin be?
　　"For a period of 40+ years, these books have just been lying there collecting dust… There was no one who would even deign to look at them. Forget it you don't need to return the books after you are done with them. Even if you did not borrow them today, sooner or later I would have chucked these books out. Since no one in the Qing Clan ever reads them, just take it then." Elder Lin passed the books to Qing Shui as he said expressionlessly.
　　Qing Shui felt that the Elder Lin today was very strange. The Elder Lin that everyone knew was someone who didn't really talk much, preferring to spend his time in silence and solitude. But today, he was unexpectedly in such a talkative mood!
　　Qing Shui accepted the books from Elder Lin, the more he looked, the more he still felt that Elder Lin was hiding his true abilities in an act of clumsiness.
　　"Thank you, Grandpa Lin!" Qing Shui earnestly thanked Elder Lin. After that, Qing Shui realized that other than the three medical books he had initially requested, there was an additional 4th book which he did not request.
　　Qing Shui curiously peered at the 4th book, it was titled (Basic Sword Techniques)!
　　Qing Shui wanted to question Elder Lin, but who would have thought Elder Lin initiated the conversation. "After you are done with the four books, just toss them directly into the trash, you need not bother to send them back."
　　Since he was to dispose of them, Qing Shui decided that he might as well keep them; after all, with a title like (Basic Sword Techniques), how profound could the techniques contained in it be? But to the current him, he could still learn something from it! After all, Rome wasn't build in one day, and all lakes and oceans originated from a single drop of water.
　　Bidding their goodbyes to Elder Lin, the heavy stone door tightly closed as Qing Shui and Qing Yi left the library.
　　Qing Yi had long regarded Elder Lin as part of her family. Despite his senile and befuddled facade, she knew that deep in his heart, Elder Lin treats the descendants of Qing Clan as his own flesh and blood. Especially Qing Yi, ever since she was young, Elder Lin would spare no expenses and dote on her. Even now, after the passage of so many years, Qing Yi still respected this old man just as she would have respected Qing Luo.
　　Feeling elation in his heart, Qing Shui was holding on to the pile of books, in his previous life, he had been too addicted to gaming. Reading books? Visiting the library? Not a chance! Who would have thought that the current Qing Shui, out of his own volition, wanted to browse the Qing Clan's library for books to read!
　　"Humans were really unpredictably weird!"

A human warrior cultivating the Ancient Strengthening Technique has transcended dimensions and arrived on Kyushu. Together with twelve ravishing beauties with looks that were unmatched in their generation, will he be able to stand on the summit of this world?

This novel is about the main character, named Qing Shui, who transcended dimensions and arrived in the Kyushu continent. Storms of blood and wind, resulting in corpses and bones strewn about are extremely common here. The young warrior Qing Shui forged ahead in his path to cultivate, using 10 years to train himself, only to seek vengeance for the one who had forsaken his mother!

Van took a deep breath and scanned the bookshelves.

Tome upon tome greeted his eyes. Bookshelves perched precariously on the branches, which were long and twisted. One might not be able to explore even two of the branches in the entire hour they were here – and there were tens of them.

"I just need to go steadily."

There must have been thousands and thousands of books. To find three that suited him from such a large amount was not easy. Luckily, he already had three things in mind.

First, he needed a body cultivation skill to mask his own. That way he could start openly practicing.

Secondly, a water, ice or dark technique to fully utilise the strange powers of the green turtle shell inside him. Although he had no idea what it was, it had yet to harm in and had in fact given him a medium-grade water affinity. He would be a fool if he didn't put it to use. If he was to cultivate this technique his main skill, his foes would surely get a nasty surprise when they then got burnt a crisp.

Thirdly, Van wanted a movement skill. Imagine being able to run circles around your opponents, them unable to land a single finger on you. How delicious and satisfying. Plus, running away, quickly, from enemies too powerful to beat was never a dumb option.

"Sand Stirring Whip, Ten Bolts Fist, Ghost Mirage Palm…" The multitudes of names made Van's excitement grow.

This feeling only intensified when he started to read some of the descriptions.

"Ghost Mirage Palm. Decreases speed of the opponent, can cause them to become confused and fail to return an attack. Uses trickery to win. Minimum requirement is the 3rd level of Qi Distillation. Easy to train. Rank: Low."

Van continued this way before he found something suitable.

"Copper Knight Wall. Absolute defence at the expense of speed. Under full activation can withstand a single killing blow from an opponent of the same rank. Those who train it to the highest level will be able to passively deflect mortal blades. Minimum requirement is the 3rd level of Qi Distillation. High difficulty to train. Rank: Low."

Van took it off the shelf, "My Copper Buddha level of the Thousand Saints Sacrifice Method is already enough to deflect mortal blades passively. But it seems that this Copper Knight Wall can only do that if trained to a high level. Plus, it decreases your speed. It is clear which one is superior."

Van had a clear idea of what he wanted next, but he still felt moved several times as he went through the martial texts.

"This Piercing Wind Finger is not bad…oh, and this Smiling Locust's Kick…"

"Ah. You are only allowed one trip into this library, Van," he whispered to himself, "just get what you need!"

However, this pace was truly too slow. Half an hour had already passed, and he had two more skills he needed to find.

[Surely there is a smarter way to do things.]

Van stopped and scanned the shelves around him. 

[How can I find something specific in here?]

As he pondered, Van recalled the way that they had tested them for spiritual attribute at the servant's entrance exam. Now that he was able to project qi…

Van concentrated and tried to emit the tiniest strand of qi possible from his finger. A tiny thread spilled out but then dissipated. Van was not discouraged, once more, he squeezed a strand of qi out – this time a little thicker.

Sure enough!

The strand of qi immediately was attracted to something in the bookshelf.

It was a fire-type sword skill. Van shook his head and continued to use this method while walking quickly down the aisle. Soon enough he found that he could just hold the strand of qi at his fingertip and the attributes of the martial skills would cause a tugging sensation at the finger-tip. If there was a strong reaction, it was probably flame-attribute, if it was weaker it was a water-type…

He stopped in front a bookshelf and pulled out a book of about 1 centimetres thickness.

"Dark Seas Palm. Good offensive power with the ability to freeze an opponent's movements and disrupt the flow of qi at higher levels. Minimum requirement the 3rd level of Qi Distillation. Rank: Middle. Difficulty: High, requires some natural affinity for water."

Van stroked his finger down the page. This was it! Now what he needed was a movement type skill.

He continued to use his little technique of leaving a strand of qi at his fingertip and letting it sniff around like a dog. Soon, it started to pull excitedly in a single direction. Unlike the other times, it didn't shift to a different target when Van moved along.

"Eh? What's going on?" Van followed curiously. Eventually, he arrived in a gap between the bookshelves. 

[There's nothing here.] 

There was only darkness where the strand pointed. Game, Van stuck his hand in there. It went further and further in until it touched something smooth.

!

There was a thin black book with charred edges. Why was it tucked into this little gap between the bookshelves? It made it feel like someone had picked out this skill and then hid it here so no one else would find it… 

"Scattering Smoke Steps," he read aloud, "A movement skill not based on absolute speed but absolute evasion. Minimum requirement: 4th level of Qi Distillation. Rank: Middle, requires extremely high comprehension skills to understand the essence."

Van grew excited. Scattering Smoke Step's smoke attribute was closely related to his flame attribute – this movement skill was a perfect fit.

But why had someone hidden it away in that crevice? 

Van shrugged. He had found it fair and square, and using his own ingenuity. It was fair game!

He wrapped his arms tightly around the three tomes he had drawn out and went quickly down the steps. The old man saw him coming.

"I would like to borrow these three, please, Senior," Van said politely, handing the skill books over.

The old man was expressionless as he stamped the Dark Seas Palm manual, but a small crease appeared between his brows when he stamped Copper Knight Wall, "Body cultivation, eh…It will be arduous and time-consuming…"

When the old man reached to stamp 'Scattering Smoke Steps' his hand halted stiffy in mid-air.  

The old servant's expression was pale, Scattering Smoke Steps…? It has been a very long time since I have heard this name…"

Van's brow crinkled. That was the skill he wanted the most! Quickly, he asked the old servant, "Is there something wrong with it? I can borrow it, right?"

The old man frowned disapprovingly, "The last time I heard of this Scattering Smoke Steps was fifty years ago when a young man destroyed his cultivation over it. They said he became obsessed with trying to understand the essence of this skill and stood above a smoking bonfire for ten days and ten nights. When the smoke caused him to become blind in both eyes, he did not want to let anyone else achieve what he failed to do!"

"We thought he had destroyed it, but who knew that he had hidden it in plain sight!"

The old servant turned to Van.

"Do you know who that boy was? The previous Sect Master's younger brother! He was a genius of unsurpassable talent, and yet he was unable to understand this skill!"

"I advise that you return this book immediately. I will even turn a blind eye and allow you to pick out another skill. This 'Scattering Smoke Steps' is not worth it!"

Van smiled. His heart had been set on that skill a long time ago. 

"I can feel your kindness, senior. However, blame me for being stubborn, but I have decided that I will train 'Scattering Smoke Steps!'"

The old servant seemed to age another decade. 

"Very well, young man," he stamped it.

"Not only are you hard-headed, you are also foolish. Two of your skills time-consuming and arduous to train in. Adding to that, your offensive skill also requires innate affinity for water…without this, you will not even be able to progress past the beginning level. Don't come crying back to me in three days, asking for a second chance in the Misty Tree Library. I will not be so kind a second time."

The old man shook his head.

Once 'Scattering Smoke Steps' passed from his hands to the young boy's, the elder servant shut his eyes and no longer spoke. His disapproval emanated out from him in waves.

Van received the books, unable to push down the excitement in his heart. Carefully, he put them away. At that moment - 

Crash!

Startled, Van looked up, only to see two pale faces staring at him. A big empty basket rattled back and forth on the ground. The duo clutched at each other, struggling for words.

"V-V-V-van," one of the pale faces stuttered, "W-we didn't know we would be seeing you here?"

Their eyes darted to peek at the tomes in his grasp.  One subtly and swiftly pinched the other on the arm. 

"Oh?" Van replied with a small smile on his face. He tilted his head.

"Funnily enough, I did not expect to see you two here either."

"Last time I checked... servants weren't allowed in the immediate vicinity library. Unless, of course, you were here to sweep the floor and dust the shelves, that is. I won't get in your way."

Van hoisted the three tomes onto his hip and whistled as he strolled away. 

The two servants were left shaking in their boots. His words had sounded courteous, but why did they seem full of thorns?

Though he had yet to wear his outer disciple robes, the three skill books in his arms meant that he had qualified to enter the library!

This was big news. 

The village kid had been one of the fastest to advance to outer disciple, only narrowly losing to Klaus! 

The young man's back seems to grow bigger and bigger in their eyes.

When they finally calmed enough to speak, the boy who had seen Van walk into the library initially spoke in a depressed tone of voice, "He must have heard us earlier…"

"Now we've angered an outer disciple for no reason. We are so screwed…"

The other one did not answer - he was counting the lucky stars that he had not said something even dumber!

Abandoned in a village with his dependant younger sister, he has fought to survive his whole life. His fate changes when he stumbles upon a mysterious ring by the mountainside.

[Excerpt]

"My master is one of the most powerful ancient gods in existence," the ring said pompously, "Renowned in all the lands! Once we find him, he will reward us handsomely!"

"You don't even remember what he looks like!" Van scoffed, "How exactly am I supposed to find him!?"

The ring pretended not to hear.

"Oh Master, your most faithful servant has failed you - I have been stuck with an idiot!" It wailed.

"Takes one to know one," Van muttered darkly.
