Betrayed by her entire family, Tang Yue, the seventh princess of the snake clan, was betrothed to the tyrannical Elven prince, who is known for his blood lust and cold-blooded murders.

He is even rumored to have killed several concubines mercilessly.

Deemed as a piece of useless baggage and now tossed aside as a political chip, Tang Yue braved herself for the new torturous life that awaited her.

As if this was not enough, someone mysteriously poisoned her in the betrothal ceremony.

But akin to a slap in the face, that poison actually turned around Tang Yue’s pathetic life!!

Poisonous fruits? Sure give me some. I need to snack anyways.

Deadly toxin? Sure. My throat is a bit parched.

Heh. Now you want to actually cut me down? Sure. You just have to slash past this thick skin!

The lowly beast that had invoked its innate ability to evolve silently resolved to conquer the heavens. And of course, she had a master... ahem... system to help her along the way!

There is no antagonist in this story, as the biggest antagonist is MC himself

Kevin,
Days go by and she found the family of rabbits, stiff and lying still, deprived of life. Small paw marks on the entrances as if trying to escape, with bloody froth coming out of their mouths. She hated them, as it made her remember the sight of her dead husband.
Lying still in coffin, the funeral home made him look so peaceful, but that was just a body now. The snake soon came and found her looking sad, at the rabbits.
[Don't be sad...human...go inside and I will take them...away]
As if in trance, she listens and went inside the house. After she realized what had happened, she went outside again and found them gone. Other than her garden, her neighbor's garden, yielded few crops this year. As to celebrate, they invited another couple.
They grilled freshly harvest crops, with meet and side vegetables. There laugher and the smell of charcoal in the air. She rests in her house quietly, slowly filling with jealously towards the joyful neighbors. But then she noticed the sudden silence.
She looked out of the window and found them on the ground lying still. She quickly went over to their back yard. They were in the same condition as the rabbits, bleeding from their nose and ears, their eyes bulging out and the bloody fort coming out of their mouths.
She quickly called 9-1-1 and the police came and took their bodies and the food away. They questioned her, if she saw anything or if anyone would want to harm them. But she didn't know anything, as after her husband died, she stopped going outside.
Soon the families of the deceased came packed everything away, even after her husband died, she had yet to put away his belongings. Soon a man came, who she didn't recognize, taking samples of soil and plant clipping from the neighbor's back yard.
It was painful every time going to her back yard, desperation she felt trying to revive her dying plants, but there was no hope. One day that man came to her front door, wanted to also take samples from her back yard, looking for certain contaminations that he had in her neighbor's backyard. She led him to her back yard and watched from afar, collecting samples. Suddenly the ground started shaking and the head of the white snake came out. Now his head the size of a watermelon, he opened it reviling fangs size of her hand.
Before the man could cream, the snake's head clamped over his and he slowed him whole, then browed back into it and closing the trail behind him. As she witnessed this, her heart grew cold. She had seen too much and now had strength left to cry, but o' she wanted to claw her eyes out.
Soon someone else came looking for the man and she told him that she had led the man into the back yard and he hadn't left yet. The man looked around the back yard only finding his phone left behind. They call more people, they came and dig the ground up, destroying her garden.
There was no saving it now. They came asked her, but only repeated what she had told the first one. After they left, she went back and sat down next to the Irises and the cardboard box.
She asked the snake [Why did you kill that man?]
And he answered [Nothing persists...he now became my strength...and... it's not fair, but that...how it is] Snakes voice coming out of the ground itself. Days passed, then weeks, another child felled down on the ground convulsing. Because of the danger families started moving out.
Soon the society became abandon. She saw all of it and felt nothing, she tired of life and wanted nothing more than to meet her husband. That day she finally dared to put away all of his things and then she came into the garden.
She called out the snake, the ground started shaking, almost like a miniature earth quack. He had grown, eighteen feet in length, and his head alone was wide as a car. His tongue slithered in and out, and the black pupils stared into her eyes.
[Human...why have you...called me] the snaked asked
[I wish to see my, husband...can take me to him]
The snake stayed silent for a moment.
[As you wish...human]
He opened his mouth, the inner mouth had to line hundreds of small jagged teeth, both up and down, and mendable fangs two and a quart foot long. He was going to make it painless as possible, going for the head. But suddenly, I ramped a kick into the snake's body, lunching it into the house.
The Protector,
After eyes had flash blue, Kevin had learned everything he needed to. A day earlier I gave Aurumai this particular task, which he had to accompany these two too. To find and protect this otherworldly snake, which was eating to regain his energy.
Kevin looked at the women, knowing well what she had been through. He offered her a relive far quicker and painless. She accepted and Kevin stopped her heart. As her lifeless body fell into his arms, he shifted it into the hole, that snake made and closing it.
[You...human?]
White Friel hands, grabbed the edges of the hole, which the snake had made. The snake grew hands, with three fingers and a thumb and slightly long nails on each hand. It pulled itself out.
[Wow...a talking snake] Elia and Aurumai also came from behind the house to witness this being [Oh my god, it's giant snake] The snake turns his eyes towards Elia and he froze, staring deeply into her face [Gemini?... no, you are...not, the Child... of Distortion]
[Oh my god, its a giant talking snake]
[Child of Distortion? What you talking about] Kevin asked that question using the Amulet, trying to save time. But no, I didn't work, he immune to it [Why would...I tell you?] The snake replied [Listen to both of you, your job this time is to protect this one] Aurumai ignoring all of this
The snake slithered its way close to Kevin's face, his tongue flickering around it.
[You are...not...a human... (He looked at Elia) ...either is she...only human is...that one... (Pointing at Aurumai)] the snake explained, Kevin looked at Aurumai [What is he talking about?]
Elia also looked at Aurumai. He only raised his shoulders, in an act of not knowing anything. Before Kevin could protest more, he tried walking to the main street.
[Hold up...for god sake give me a straight answer, Aurumai!] Kevin said following him [Isn't its obvious idiot...I don't know]
[Don't fucken lie] The Elia and snake had followed them, in front of the house, as well [Focus Kevin, do you dame job]
Kevin drowned in frustration, as he was tired of secrecy. But before he could protest further, all of them heard a loud crack. Their attention was taken to the start of the street, seeing a crack in midair. A few others, the reality started cracking, similar to how a glass window would crack.
It broke, reviling darkness on the other side. Then something stepped out, eight and a half feet tall, a black figure wearing what looked like a black coat. It had a mask for a face, with a large open mouth smile and two holes for the eyes, beyond that only darkness.
[No...this is not...good, he can't...be here] the snake commented [What is that?] Elia asked [That is a...Juggernaut...slave of the...the eldest Child... of Distortion...Lyra] The snake explained [What is it doing here?]
[Before I came...here, I got...separated from...Gemini...Juggernaut is here ... to kill me...and possibly the...twin]
[Wait for me?] Elia protested 
Aurumai talked towards Kevin and shoved the double-barrel shotgun, short of BB gun, into his hand.
[Good luck, kid]
And walked towards the side. Kevin sighed and the street expanded in width, three times its original size. Bring some distance between the bystanders and himself.
The Juggernaut looked at the sky, as a long black rod comes out of his mouth hole. He grabs it pulled it out, it long one reaching similar size to his body and the end a curved blade, it was a black scythe.
[Oh you think this is gonna be a fight, huh...you are dead wrong] Kevin said remarked [You must stay...careful, don't take it...him lightly] the snake said [Do you know what it does?]
[Well...no, but I...heard that these...are fearsome creature]
[Oh shut dame's mouth...I am just gonna blow it up]
Five HJ-12 anti-tank missiles appeared on the top of Kevin, lilting up and launching themselves towards the Juggernaut. It remained still, as soon as the missile got in range, what looked like a black coat, turned out to be skin and it opened from the center. Reviling black smug inside, it opened wide enough to sallow all of the missiles and then closed back up.
They blew inside him, causing his back to expand suddenly, before deflating like a balloon. Smoke escaped from his mouth and eyes hole.
[Fuck!]
The creature didn't waste any more time, as it started to dash towards Kevin, dragging itself and leaving behind a trail of black haze. Kevin quickly stomp of the ground, it braking and going all the way to the Juggernaut. Kevin had decided to catch that thing than throw it into the sun.
The gravel street broke up and all of it at once latched onto him, not giving it time escape and forming a ball of gravel and stone. But from all that it moved like oil, coming out of the top, collecting and forming itself back. Kevin was starting to realize how desperate he was feeling.
[Up!] Kevin said pointing at the sky
He lunched it into the sky, seven miles per second. But this didn't affect it much, as it jumped off the ball, its skin opened up like wings, from the side of his torso and legs. It dived down, in response, Kevin broke large pieces of the street behind and lunched them towards the Juggernaut.
Juggernaut scythe made quick work of the pieces flying towards them, cutting through them, like a hot knife through butter. As it got closer to Kevin it started spinning, horizontally with its scythe in front. Kevin grabbed his BB Shotgun and waited for the incoming spinning black wheel.
Suddenly the water burst out of the ground, spiraling out and hitting the spinning Juggernaut. Slowing it down, only for Kevin get hold of the scythe, which ended up coming to a stopover his shoulder and BB shotgun lining with his face.
As he pulled his trigger and multiplied the output of the BB shotgun ten times, creating a fire explosion size of a house. The fiery blast lunched the Juggernaut back, its body gliding back and falling face-first into the ground. It collected itself, standing back on its knees.
As it did his mask had broken and felled on the ground. The Juggernaut inspected his face with his hand. Suddenly audible screams could be heard by everyone around, Kevin stared at his blank face, couldn't even say that it had a color black, it was just looming darkness inside his face.
Then in the next few moments, the world temporally ended. The Juggernaut released a blinding scream, followed by a shock wave. Aurumai fell cold immediately, Elia covered her eyes and felled down on her knees. The snake who was not affected by it, expanded and quickly coil around Elia, protecting her.
Kevin became paralyzed because of the amulet effect of numbing the pain, he couldn't feel a thing, but he couldn't think either. Everything zoomed out for him, all of the air around him vibrating insanely, his vision becoming a blur. His heartfelt as if it was going blow up, blood started oozing from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
What felt like an eternity, was just a minute, it stopped and Kevin felled backward, brain dead but still awake. The snake uncoiled and Elia, with a painful headache, looked up to find black skeletal running on all four, dashing towards Kevin, jumping and landing on him, grabbing hold of his face.
[No!...Kevin]
The snake responded slithering towards the Juggernaut and wiping its tail into it and sending him flying to the house on the other side of the street. Elia quickly got up and ran to him. As she laid her eyes on him, she froze then felled back. Tears rolled down her cheek.
[This is...not good] the snake commented
The Juggernaut had ripped off Kevin's face and took it with him.

Prolog,

"[Oh sorry...I forgot to mention to Daniel, that the usage of these artifacts has a limit...You are nothing but a weak human, so if you use them too much and they will kill you] Servant said to blood-soaked Daniel, as he picked himself off the ground with the help of the Red Cross, again reverting himself, enabling himself to speak

[Why...Why me... If you are so strong, why need me] he complained again [That will be the will of the four kings, as for me, I was ordered to help you, to fight the threat which may end up dooming the entire creation] the Servent explained

Hearing this, Daniel let out a chuckle [I already told you to fuck off...but just tell me why... why did everything I ever cared about, had to be taken away from me] Daniel asked with tears appearing, tracing down his cheeks, which made him laugh [I don't know...How about you ask your God when you see him] the Servent replied and Daniel clenched his teeth [That's not an answer!] he screamed"

Lan Xiue's home was relatively close to Zhao Ying's and was situated just one alley away. Both her parents were craftsmen and the family lived together under one roof. Because of this, the elders weren't too fond of Lin Jin's unannounced visit.
After all, it was too late at night.
They knew of their daughter's dream as well but they felt that she was over-reacting. It was just a dream. Who wouldn't get nightmares? How could they take it seriously?
"Sigh, our child is young and ignorant, why do you guys have to play along with her?" Lan Xiu'e's father said the moment he opened the door.
Being a shy girl, Lan Xiu'e's head lowered even more as she pinched the corners of her upper robe as if she had done something wrong. Zhao Ying was annoyed but said nothing. Instead, she began comforting Lan Xiu'e as if she was her elder sister.
Lin Jin smiled and said, "This won't take long."
Then, he pulled Lan Xiu'e's father aside and whispered something to him.
The older man immediately had a change in attitude and saluted at Lin Jin. "So that's how it is. Then please take your time. I'll be in another room with her mother. Just call out to us if you need anything."
Having said that, he cheerfully returned to his room.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but be awed by this. She wondered what Lin Jin had said to Lan Xiu'e's father that made him change his attitude so abruptly.
After she asked, Lin Jin answered, "It's nothing. I just told him that I agreed with his thoughts. I said I think it's a dream too and I'm just here for show. Once his daughter's worries have been cleared, everything would return to normal. He thinks that we're on his side, so of course, his attitude changed."
Zhao Ying listened with admiration, thinking she had learned yet another trick.
However, Lan Xiu'e got anxious and said, "Appraiser Lin, it… it's not a dream. It's real."
"I know!" Lin Jin's face looked grim as he stared darkly at her room.
There was clearly something off with that room.
To be frank, Lin Jin couldn't put it into words, but he had a hunch. As he went over and surveyed the room from the outside, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"Come, let's take a look inside," Lin Jin said as he entered the room.
This was Lan Xiu'e's private bedroom.
Lan Jin glanced around and reached out a hand to touch the walls. Zhao Ying and Lan Xiu'e watched as he worked, not daring to ask what was wrong with the room.
"Zhao Ying, take Xiue back with you and let her stay with you for tonight," Lin Jin suddenly said.
Zhao Ying was stunned.
"Master Lin, what about you?"
"Me?" Lin Jin smiled and sat down on a chair. "I'll just put up with the night like this."
He said nothing else.
He couldn't tell them the truth.
This trouble Zhao Ying's friend came across was far worse than what they had imagined. And this wasn't Lin Jin's words but a warning shown by the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
Of course, it was merely a warning and it's not like there wasn't a solution provided. Moreover, the current Lin Jin was no pushover so he had ways to deal with the situation.
As for why he decided to help, one was because Zhao Ying had asked him. The second reason was because of his own will.

He wanted to let the Museum of Deadly Beast record its first monster type beast. If he had to be honest, Lin Jin was currently itching for some action.
Beautiful in appearance and clever in mind, Zhao Ying didn't ask more unnecessary questions. She whispered a few words to Lan Xiue before taking her away.
With that, only Lin Jin and Xiao Huo remained in the room.
Once the light was extinguished, Lin Jin closed his eyes to rest on the chair while Xiao Huo stayed beside him.
Time trickled away as it got deeper into the night.
Almost everyone was asleep by now. It was dark outside but there was still a bit of moonlight. The leaves on the tree outside rustled in the cool breeze.
From the windows, one could see the shadows of the branches swaying.
Lin Jin was sleeping soundly inside the room.
So many things had happened today and he was exhausted. Just then, he seemed to have heard something. Xiao Huo's ears perked up and he bared his fangs.
A dark silhouette suddenly appeared, slithering across the window.
It looked like a snake.
Xiao Huo immediately got up while Lin Jin opened his eyes.
He was sleeping lightly so a faint rustling was more than enough to wake him up.
"He's here?" Lin Jin yawned. At the same time, the tightly closed door suddenly opened on its own and a large black shadow crept in.
However, that silhouette seemed to have immediately sensed something wrong and was about to retreat.
"Xiao Huo, get him!" This was the moment Lin Jin had been waiting for so he had Xiao Huo pounce on the target immediately.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin got up slowly and stretched himself before heading outside.
Xiao Huo was currently having a standoff with a large creature in the yard.
That large creature was a huge black snake that was thick as a water pail. Shrouded in a dark aura, it was raising its head with confusion and fury clear in its eyes.
It didn't seem like a regular beast.
Xiao Huo's aura was pressuring, even more so than his opponent. This made the black snake act with caution. A hint of brilliance flashed across the snake's eyes, and opening its mouth, it shot out a black cloud of smoke before slithering out of the yard.
With a flick of his tail, the dark cloud immediately dispersed and Xiao Huo darted out of the yard in hot pursuit of the reptilian home-invader.
Lin Jin remained indifferent. He didn't need to worry with Xiao Huo around, and that was how confident he was allowed to be by owning a powerful pet beast. If he didn't have Xiao Huo, or if Xiao Huo wasn't at Rank 3, Lin Jin would never have gotten involved in this matter.
He shut the door behind him. Sensing his blood contract, he started to chase after the two creatures.
After passing through quite a few alleyways, he arrived at a rather secluded place within Maple City.
This used to be a temple, housing the God of Land. But after a recent fire destroyed this temple, it became a wasteland without anyone renovating it. Not many people would pass through during the day, what more to say of nighttime.
By sensing his blood contract, Lin Jin knew that Xiao Huo was nearby.
He suddenly sighed. Had he known, he would have brought Goldy along as well. It would definitely be much safer with two Rank 3 pet beasts around.
But that's okay. After a perfect evolution and mastering part one of the Beast Energy Formation, Xiao Huo's strength had already reached a terrifying level.
So far, they had yet to come across a formidable opponent that Xiao Huo could take on with full strength.
Except for Goldy after its evolution.
Hence, Lin Jin was quite relaxed.
So what if it was a monster?
If its rank was lower than Xiao Huo, the creature still had no choice but to surrender.
The abandoned temple's main hall was reduced to ruins. Upon entering the premise, it felt like he had arrived at Satan's hall instead with the fallen statues all dark and frightening.
Making his way around, Lin Jin came to the yard where he heard sounds of battle and saw the flames Xiao Huo was emitting.
When he got closer, Lin Jin saw a physically enlarged Xiao Huo enveloped in flames as it battled strenuously with the massive black snake.
The black snake was quite powerful as well. Not only was it covered in black aura, but it could also control water.
Lin Jin was confused. Where did the water come from?
Extending his neck a little, he noticed a well in front of a large tree.
This well had obviously been here for a while judging from its aged appearance. This was probably where all the water was coming from. 
Seeing how the black snake could hold its ground against Xiao Huo, Lin Jin came to realize that they were in the black snake's territory, giving the latter an upper hand.
He swiftly cast the 'Berserk' spell.
After forming a blood pact with a pet beast, it didn't mean a human should rely completely on his companion. At times, the pet beast needed to count on its owner's blessing spells, like right now. After receiving the 'Berserk' blessing, Xiao Huo's body grew a size larger, emitting a tempestuous aura while its strength increased by twenty percent.
Flames covered its razor-sharp claws, as Xiao Huo slashed at the snake.


Lin Jin never imagined he would ever transmigrate. And to such a peculiar world at that. Here, deadly beasts were regarded as sacred, and thankfully, he owned a museum for deadly beasts.
“Master, this is just a dying little tortoise…”
“What tortoise? This is a rare species that contains the blood of a Black Tortoise and could be promoted up to level seven.”
“What about this shedding mongrel?”
“Mongrel? How narrow-minded. This is a branch descendant of the snarling hound with a hint of Kirin’s blood. Take my word for it and sign the blood contract at once. I guarantee you that you'll soar to success and be on your path to invincibility!”

"How did you once fight?", Saleen asked Vinny directly.
Vinny did not answer Saleen's question. The magic patterns across its entire body had instead begun to glitter and shrunk into a stone badge. All the other one-hundred and forty-four soldiers' bodies began to shrink as well, and jumped into the stone badge one by one.
Saleen bent over and picked up the stone badge. The connection between himself and the broken jade was crystal clear in the badge. Saleen gave an order in his mind, which lit up the badge magically. A one-hundred yard tall statue soldier burst onto the space in front of Saleen and stood before him.
Saleen's mind calmed. Such a way to control them was identical to the ones he acquired before. With Vinny's control over the statues being greater, the communication between it and Saleen also became easier. He was also capable of assuming direct command over the grade-9 statue soldier before him, making the statue do what he needed it to do.
"This is just way stronger than the grade-7 stone statue soldiers! This is the elemental badge talked about in the legends? It is the equipment ancient humans used to control elemental creatures!"
Elemental badges blatantly disregarded the size of elemental creatures they controlled. The magic arrays within were arranged according to the number of elemental creatures. Each creature only took the space of an elemental point. The badge was a form Vinny was capable of assuming, and there were one-hundred and forty-four elemental points on it, without room for even one more.
The one-hundred and forty-four stone statue soldiers were more far more powerful than the ones Saleen created himself. They were definitely unaffected by inconvenient factors such as time limits.
Saleen contacted Vinny, which triggered the elemental badge to emanate overwhelming magic brilliance. The lights did not trigger any reaction from the magic arrays nearby. Elemental stone statue soldiers were, after all, guardians of the city itself.
The grade-9 soldier standing at one-hundred yards tall began shrinking its body, with the color of the green rock armor becoming increasingly dark and concentrated. When the soldier shrunk to the height of a mere ten yards, its elemental armor's color turned entirely black. Saleen knew that the size of the soldier could not have been able to be compressed further, but that proved adequate nonetheless. The difference in height between it and the ones created by Saleen was less than one yard, making it entirely capable of being mixed with his own magic.
The black stone statue soldier's combat capacity far surpassed that of the puppets created from the magic stored in his robe. The soldiers possessed their own consciousness, while puppets required him to pull the strings. If the puppets were to fight on their own, they would not have so much been a match for grade-8 adversaries.
Saleen recalled the soldier and set the elemental badge into the belt of the devil's armor, instead of storing it inside his own Devil Ring. There were slots on the devil's armor for equipping gear. The belt was something Joey crafted personally, which enabled a mage to have an extra of six equipment slots on their person.
Saleen came to realize something. Joey had definitely knew something about the skills of ancient mages. Saleen would not have been able to just set the elemental badge on it like that.
The six major elements all had corresponding elemental badges, and that had Saleen hoping to find the others.
When humans first learned to use elemental creatures as defensive measures for cities and troop units, humanity could not have possibly used only earth element creatures to do so. Be it water, fire, wind, light, or dark elements, every one of them would have been very powerful as well. While the humans back then would not have thought much about that, in the perspective of the dwellers of the current Myers Mainland, such badges were revolutionary equipment.
Saleen went straight back to the military depot. He swam to the second floor and looked at the half-broken ceiling, finding the broken pieces. The collapsed ceiling pieces ended up on a small bed. The bed was only three yards long: a length ancient humans loved. The three yard long bed was obviously not something meant for elemental creatures.
There was no body to be found on the bed, making it apparent that humans left before the city was destroyed. Even so, Saleen managed to find equipment belonging to humans.
A magic ring he found was pure black in color and made of unknown gems. The carving of the creature was something Saleen felt familiar with, which turned out to be a six-winged flying snake.
The six-winged flying snake was regarded as a powerful creature in ancient times.
Saleen checked the ring with his own mental powers, and found that he was unable to open the space of the ring. He was a grade-8 sorcerer, whose mental powers had surpassed most grade-9 sorcerers. If the ring was one he was unable to open, then it was more than simply a spatial equipment; it was a sealing ring instead.
There obviously was not a six-winged flying snake in the ring, and Saleen did not dare to imagine having such a luxury. Six-winged flying snakes were powerful creatures. They were also capable of developing intelligence. Even if a six-winged flying snake was indeed in there, Saleen would not be able to control it anyway. He would have ended up being eaten instead.
Saleen put the ring away. "The ring is obviously a sealing ring. If I run into a six-winged flying snake later, the badge might be able to subdue it. The Grukos family kept low level six-winged flying snakes after all, right?" The ring was obviously capable of sealing snakes of higher levels. The snake was a guardian being to the Grukos, but not to Saleen. Saleen would definitely think of a way to seal one such snake into the ring.
Vinny said that the city was twelve-thousand miles long, and eight-thousand miles wide. The place easily qualified as a large country. As Saleen's chances of finding something diminished, there was little else he was able to do but enter the Imperial City of the Abyss and trying their luck.
"The Imperial City! Vinny said this place was an imperial city. Did that make it some fief bestowed by a king of somewhere!? The entire fief was one large city, but how did such a large city end up in an abyss? Were the early humans even capable of conquering the oceans? It is a possibility. The oceanic ice block is abundant with resources, which means that the region was extremely attractive to ancient humans."
Human footsteps were found even beyond Stormy Seas, and there might have been even the descendants of ancient humans in the various countries in the eastern seas, instead of foreign races like was the case with subcontinent plane.
Humans of the subcontinent plane and the ones on the Myers Mainland were actually already two different races. The lifespan of humans over there was one-third shorter than those of the Myers Mainland. The ones on the mainland were able to live to the age of one-hundred and twenty despite having trained in no arts, yet the ones considered to have lived a long life on the subcontinent, lived only to about eighty.
Saleen had only wanted two things from the Imperial City of the Abyss: the elemental badge and bone remains of single-horned white whale. When humans conquered the seas in the past, they built a cemetery for those creatures, meaning that the whales were important to humans back then.
He had not dared to subdue anymore stone statue soldiers. The devil's armor that Joey crafted for him only had six equipment slots at the belt. That was also the limit of Saleen's mental powers. Even if more slots were to be added, he would not have been able to use them all at once. While he indeed possessed massive mental powers, it was still within Joey's means of calculation. Joey was even able to calculate what kind of capacity Saleen would reach even advancing to grade-9.
Saleen returned to the area nearby the wall and summoned the water puppet. Rossen appeared quickly and asked suspiciously, "Master, the stone statue soldiers around have disappeared!"
"I have subdued them, Rossen. Take this," Saleen said and took out his crystal ring, handing it to the water puppet.
"My liege, what do you mean?", the water puppet put on the ring without actually understanding Saleen's intentions.
"I'm collecting elemental badges, but...there is something I need to craft for later use."
"I see, my liege. What about Nailisi then?"
"She is outside," Saleen did not say much. In Saleen's mind, the water puppet had always been his equipment. Even though the water puppet actually possessed higher intelligence than most magic beasts, Saleen still had never truly treated the water puppet as a person. It was normal for mages to bring their equipment on adventures.
Saleen knew that if he wanted to enter the heart of the imperial city and search for the single-horned whale's cemetery, he would need help from the elemental badge. The defense at the outskirts was actually mediocre. Many magical facilities simply broke down from the immense number of years passed.
In the core of the imperial city however, operations of sorts were still running in a highly precise manner.
Saleen would be able to have great confidence dealing with most complicated situations when he was able to collect all six elemental badges. His intention was to simply enter the cemetery of the single-horned white whale, take away a great number of magic nuclei, leave, and come back for more another day. By then, he would be bringing a good number of followers with him, and would sweep the place clean.
As to how to bring his men in, that was where Nailisi's Twelve Notes of Purgatory came into play. The number of demons he would be able to bring with him would have went up to tens of thousands doing so. There was no worries about the carrying capacity of the pan's turtle alchemical boat.
Saleen took the water puppet back to the military depot with him. The stairs there were wrecked by the stone statue soldiers, but other places seemed intact. Saleen searched for materials in his own Devil Ring, being very particular with it as he intended to craft Eternal Control shards.
The water puppet stood guard outside the gate. A witcher spider was right above its head. Despite being crafted anew, the witcher spider remained a mid level puppet, possessing only fair combat capacity. It served as a good tool for sneak attacks and digging though.
Saleen took out his last broken jade and began researching it in detail in a large room. He had to gain more understanding on the rules of Eternal Control, before grade-9 or even grade-10 creatures could be completely put under his thumb.
Controlling the stone statue soldiers proved extremely easy, as the broken jade used contained the soul flames of the three kings. Eternal Control shards crafted by Saleen himself might not have been able to control grade-10 beings.
The materials inside Saleen's Devil Ring were rich and comprehensive, since he acquired a good number of horns of the single-horned white whales. The horns made good materials, but they alone could not be enough to craft Eternal Control shards. Saleen searched within his stores of gemstones, and picked out all the black crystals.
Black crystals were able to contain souls and Saleen had a lot with him. Most of the crystals were given to the death mages who swore their loyalty to him. The black crystals left with him then all came from the Temple of the Goddess of Myers. The crystals were of very high quality and were meant to be used by grade-9 death sorcerers. Saleen had intended to give them away when there were any death mages of his advancing to such levels, but at that moment it seemed that such moments would never come, as his current needs came first.
The horns of the whales were of lengths measuring between one to three yards. Saleen took out five three yard long horns and threw them into the water flame, which he followed with five huge pieces of black crystals.
The black crystals liquefied instantly and seeped into the horns. The horns of the whales were impeccably sturdy, as the single-horned white whales were able to use them to both cast magic and plough right through hard ice to breathe at the surface. Ice sheets of thirty to fifty yards thick would not be able to withstand an impact from the whales. As such, the single-horned white whales were hardly limited by geographical factors of any sort. Even ice sheets hardly inconvenienced their movements.
The horns were white. As the black crystals liquefied and seeped into the horns, clean cut black magic patterns appeared.


It is said that the true meaning of a mage is to fully understand the truth of the world. A mage named Saleen Metatrin goes on many missions as a normal mage to try and change his fate. This in turn led to many problems and adventures.  

The strengthening points he used earlier had reached 83,000 points.
"Raise cultivation!"
"Ding!"
"Your cultivation has been raised to the sixth level of the Qi Formation realm. Strengthening points -50,000."
His cultivation had increased by a small realm.
In an instant, Andrew's aura rose rapidly before slowly calming down.
"As I expected, to advance from the fifth level to the sixth level requires 50,000 strengthening points.
"If that's the case, to advance to the seventh level, it should require 100,000 strengthening points."
Andrew cursed in his heart.
But thinking about it carefully, what else could he do?
He didn't have any talent for cultivation, so he could only kill monsters to earn strengthening points and then upgrade himself.
Although the system was a bit of a cheat, this was not a big deal.
After all, he had earned 83,000 strengthening points. If he did not count the time he spent eating barbecue in the middle, it would only add up to a few dozen minutes.
Andrew looked at his Nine-layered Thunder Blade again.
Now, he was already at the fifth layer of thunder blade. If he continued to upgrade, he would need at least 50,000 strengthening points.
He would leave it for now.
He would wait until he had enough strengthening points in the future.
After resting for a while, Andrew took out the map.
Andrew studied it for a long time before suddenly found a problem.
"The branch of the Heavenly God Sect in Massachusetts seems to be near the Great Dong Mountain, and these demon beasts are also heading east. There seems to be some connection between them?
"Why are you thinking so much?
"Anyway, we're going to the Great Dong Mountain. We'll know when we see it."
Andrew rode his blade and flew towards the east.
He flew into the clouds and looked down. He could see the ruins of the buildings of the peaceful era in the wilderness.
There were some lonely houses standing tall.
Occasionally, monsters would appear one after another, and they were also rushing towards the east.
In the middle of the ravine, almost all of the landscape had disappeared.
Now, everything was covered by green plants. It had only been 20 years since the recovery of spiritual energy, but many trees had already grown back into towering behemoths.
Demonic energy spread out from the ravine, and a python that was more than 30 meters long was coiled inside.
"This is...
"It's a demonic snake at the peak of the sixth stage. Its Blood Qi has already reached the peak, and it's currently in a state of spiritual energy transformation!"
Andrew's heart skipped a beat, and he descended without any movement.
To put it simply, this demonic snake was breaking through.
Its Blood Qi and spiritual energy had attained the peak of the sixth stage, and its spiritual energy had also reached the qualitative transformation.
Once it finished releasing its spiritual strength, it would reach the seventh stage.
"Amazing!
"With the recovery of spiritual energy and the rise of demonic beasts, it's not unreasonable for humans to hide in the cities.
"This snake demon hasn't broken through, but in terms of the strength of its blood Qi, it's not weaker than a human seventh stage grandmaster... Once it breaks through, its blood Qi will increase again, far surpassing that of an ordinary human seventh stage!"
Humans versus demon beasts.
The biggest thing was that they had excellent weapons and exquisite fighting methods.
This was something that demon beasts couldn't have.
Andrew sighed endlessly.
Animals were more suitable to live in the jungle than humans.
It was just that in the past, even the strongest beasts would become food for humans.
But after the recovery of spiritual energy, animals quickly adapted to the changes and evolved rapidly.
But humans...
If it weren't for the fact that humans relied on thermal weapons to survive through the most difficult times and nuclear weapons to intimidate the demon beasts until... the Ultimate realm appeared, they would have been destroyed by these evolved demon beasts a long time ago.
Even so, the living environment of humans today was very harsh. The demon beasts had left them less than one-third of their former territory.
Many cities had frequent beast hordes.
There was always the possibility of being attacked by the demonic beasts.
Weng!
An invisible burst of spiritual energy was released from the snake demon's body.
Spiritual energy was released.
The python had broken through.
The huge python was sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail as if it was celebrating its breakthrough.
Rumble!
The earth shook.
Andrew licked his lips.
Drawing his sword, he slashed down.
The giant python was cut in half.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, you have killed a seventh-grade demon beast. Reward: +5,000 strengthening points."
With just a raise of his hand, he had obtained 5,000 strengthening points.
Andrew was secretly rejoicing.
"Fortunately, I kept my composure. Otherwise, if I had killed it during its breakthrough, I might have only obtained 1,000 strengthening points."
...
At this time, in the Boston Martial Arts Administration.
Charles was sitting on a chair, his face full of shock and disbelief.
"What?
"Beast tide?
"Moreover... The Black Panther King's destination is very likely to be our Boston?"
Charles exclaimed, "Support, I need support. Otherwise... how can I defend the city?"
At the same time, between Tongzhou and Dong Mountain, about 40 kilometers away from Tongzhou.
In a ruined town.
There was a clean and comfortable yard.
There were even some vegetables planted outside the yard.
The black-robed Venerable Wuji stood under a tree in the yard with his hands behind his back, listening to the report of Grandmaster "Shadowless."
"Venerable, this subordinate has already reached an agreement with the Black Panther King. The Black Panther King is willing to launch a beast tide, but the price is... he wants to obtain a cultivation spot in the Heavenly Passage Realm of the Heavenly God Sect."
When the word 'Heavenly Passage Realm' was mentioned...
There was a trace of yearning in Shadowless's words that couldn't be concealed.
He had been stuck at the peak of the seventh stage realm for a very long time.
If he could enter the 'Heavenly Passage Realm' to cultivate, he would definitely be able to quickly break through the bottleneck.
He would reach the Golden Body Realm.
Venerable Wuji smiled and said, "This Black Panther King really dares to speak.
"As the king of Demonic Beasts in Dong Mountain, it's also the strongest demonic beast within a five hundred kilometer radius. Doesn't it want to launch a beast tide and attack the city? I'm only offering to cooperate with it for mutual benefits."
Shadowless fell silent.
He was in charge of communicating with this matter. He lowered his head and said, "Venerable, you mean... you don't agree to this condition?"
"No!"
Venerable Wuji laughed loudly. "It doesn't matter. This Black Panther King is a ninth-grade demon beast. It only wants to break through the realm and attain the peak.
"But, is it that simple to break through to the Ultimate realm?"
There was one sentence that Venerable Wuji didn't say.
If the Black Panther King really went to the peak of the Heavenly Passage Realm in the Heavenly God sect...
The Heavenly God Sect would profit greatly!
He changed the topic and said with a smile, "Shadowless, you've been following me for a few years. When we attack Boston City and kill Andrew, I'll recommend you to the sect leader and send you into the Heavenly Passage Realm."
Shadowless was grateful. He knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Thank you, Venerable One, for your help!"
...
At this moment, Andrew was in the sky, riding on the blade.
"Eh!
"This town..."
Andrew's eyes flashed. He hovered in the air as he looked down.
He saw a town appear in his field of vision.


Li Wensheng transmigrated to an era where all energies were returning and every citizen practiced martial arts.
Here, champions focus on martial arts mastery, becoming physically peerless as they honed their spirit. They would also seek superior weapons, including unbreakable war axes, or keen blades that could cut a giant tree with a single swing. 
Even so, Li Wensheng learned Immortal Arts from the very start! Though his scrawny form was exceedingly inconspicuous at first, he wielded Immortal Arts to smash long blades with his bare hands and crush giant hammers! 
Li Wensheng was flying everywhere on his sword while others were busy trying to surpass the limits of human speed. He could kill with a leaf or flower he plucked while others requested blacksmiths to hone their weapons. He cooked medicinal pellets with his cauldron, brewing Yuan Pellets that ascend cultivation while others trained their bodies to strengthen themselves. 
Martial arts champions: “Why aren’t you using any weapons?” 
Li Wensheng smiled, two of his fingers casting an immortal technique: Ten Thousand Swords Retrogression!
At his words, every sword behind everyone’s back took to the skies without hope of control, gathering behind Li Wensheng into a rain of swords that covered the skies! 
This is a world where I alone cultivate immortality while everyone else trains in martial arts!


Yellow Ox was quite optimistic because the lump of dirt the calf found beneath the verdant pine tree was quite an exceptional find. 

“Bring it out!” Chu Feng urged. 

Yellow Ox brimmed with energy and vitality as the calf brought out that lump of dirt from within that dangling sack carried on its body. It carefully placed the dirt on a stone table in the yard; Chu Feng’s attention was immediately drawn. 

It was an exceptional lump of dirt alright!

The dirt was glamorous and crystalline. It did not look like an average lump of dirt, because it looked quite exquisite and ingeniously carved. Most importantly, it was the size of the fist of an adult man. 

The pieces of dirt Chu Feng had collected earlier on was only the size of a fingernail. They were all dwarfed when placed next to this one. The difference was jarring. 

When the lump of dirt was examined carefully, one could see that the fine jades inside the lump were densely packed together by some sort of natural glue. They all looked shiny and clear. 

This lump of dirt had two forms of color. A hint of green was entangled with a larger patch of purplish golden hue. The two colors shined together to emit a sparkling and glistening luster. These colors perfectly matched that of the little pine tree and that of the pine cones. 

“This looks so much better than those we found under those grasses!” Chu Feng sighed with praise. 

Under the luminescence of the sun, there was a vivid reflection that came in the form of green and purple that was actively jumping up and down inside the glistening dirt. They looked just like columns of pulsating flame!

Chu Feng was astonished at first, but then the smile that appeared on his face grew bigger and bigger. 

Yellow Ox also showed a silly grin. 

Both of them were quite expectant. They had high hope that they could finally succeed this time.

“I wonder how those seeds are doing right now.”

Chu Feng crouched by the parterre then carefully removed a layer of fine dirt that covered the seeds underneath. Last time, he had implanted a chunk of that strange dirt to nourish the seeds. Time flew and in the twinkling of an eye, days had passed by. 

“There are some changes!”

Underneath the humid dirt, the seed that originally looked relatively plumper than the others first showed itself. It still had not sprouted, but it looked greener than last time. There was a clear sign of vitality and vigor associating with it now. 

However, it would still have meant nothing so far as it had not taken roots.

Yellow Ox came closer to the parterre as well. The calf was carefully examining the seeds beside Chu Feng as well. 

“This is the only seed that had undergone some changes so far,” Chu Feng said. 

At the time when Chu Feng first found these seeds, they were yellow and lack of luster. Furthermore, they were all wrinkled and creased too. 

Months later, there were no longer creases to be found; instead, there was a hint of green starting to appear on the plumper seeds. The seeds had been endowed with some unspeakable but conceivable form of vitality by the nature. 

The streaks and marks on the seeds still existed. They looked as complex as always, but against the backdrop of the greenish color of the seeds themselves, these streaks seemed to have been given a mysterious quality of lingering charm. 

Chu Feng continued to dig, but he was only left to be disappointed. The other two seeds were still lifeless and lackluster. They looked dead as hell. 

One of them was jet-black in color, and it looked all dried-up like a wizened old man. The other seed looked brownish in color and oval in shape as if it had been crushed under great force. These two looked just like this at the time when they were found, and now they still had not gained even the slightest change. 

It seemed to have been proven to be quite a difficulty for these to take roots or sprout. 

“Gather all the dirt we found today and supply the first seed with them.” Chu Feng decided to devote his effort to one seed only. 

Yellow Ox nodded as a form of agreement. 

But what troubled them the most was that it was going to take a long while for the seeds to grow and develop. 

And knowing that the White Snake was still lurking in the region made them feel fear.

Yellow Ox disappeared. It went looking for the black yak to ensure that this place was going to be alright for months to come. Neither Yellow Ox nor Chu Feng wanted anything hazardous to happen while the seeds developed.

Yellow Ox suddenly reappeared in the yard just like it disappeared seconds ago. The calf told Chu Feng that for now, nothing should pose as a threat to the wellbeing of these seeds. 

Again, the kings of the beast should know each other the best.

“I wish it could grow faster!” Yellow Ox hoped. 

The black yak had told the calf that it would start heading west towards the Mountains of Flame soon, and the yak also promised to bring the calf along with it, so this meant that the calf would soon leave the place as well. 

“Is the yak for real!?” Chu Feng was struck dumb.

Yellow Ox shook its head. The calf had no clue either. 

The so-called Mountains of Flame was a mountain range next to the mountains of Kunlun. 

Yellow Ox had always wanted to visit the Mountains of Kunlun, so naturally, the calf would not let go of this opportunity where it could tag along with someone whom it could rely on. 

“How is that little tree doing?” Chu Feng asked. He had always been deeply impressed with the tree that had taken roots at the peak of that bronze mountain.

“The yak hasn’t given much detail so far. It only said that it would bring me there to visit in the future,” Yellow Ox wrote. 

Chu Feng shoved that plump and greenish seed into the lump of dirt the calf had collected from beneath the little pine tree. Then, he buried them in a wooden bucket. 

That few snips of strange soil collected earlier did not go to waste either. Everything was mixed and stored in the same bucket as the seed, and of course, Chu Feng also added some fertile soil to harbor the seed as well. 

If this place took a left turn somehow someday, he was ready to move out with this wooden bucket and his seed at any time any day. 

Having watered the seed, the man and the calf both seated themselves next to the bucket. How they wished that the seed could just take roots and sprout right away. 

Chu Feng was full of expectation and hope, and because he had pinned all his hope on the seed itself, Chu Feng had not hurried to ingest the pine nuts yet. 

He believed that this seed would for sure bring him a pleasant surprise!

Yellow ox paced up and down across the yard; the calf was anxious and a little frustrated too. Every now and then, it would stop by the wooden bucket and observe what had been going on in there. The anxiety in the air was high, and this made Chu Feng even more worried and disturbed. 

Suddenly, Chu Feng’s communicator rang. It was his mother calling. 

“Mom!” Chu Feng answered. 

On the other end of the line came the anxious voice of his mother. “Are you still at Qingyang Village?” Chu Feng’s mother tearfully asked. 

The world outside had almost exploded with news about the affairs that had been happening at Taihang Mountains. The upheavals in the region had had its repercussions throughout the nation in a very short time. 

Everyone had now learnt about this hundred-meter White Snake which was immune to even the deadliest weapon known to men. As the snake was running amok all over the place in the Mountains of Taihang, thousands of mutants had died. This news had shocked the world. 

Soon, this became not just the topic of interest for one nation; the fear for the snake was widespread worldwide. After all, this was perhaps the biggest and the worst shock and tragedy that had happened ever since the beginning of the worldwide upheaval. 

“I’m alright, mom. Rest assured! I will be heading back for you as soon as I can.”

Chu Feng was making an unceasing effort to soothe the anxiety of his mother. He even lied to his mother out of good will that he had left the village a long time ago, and that right now, he was at the safety of his friend’s house. 

The call lasted for quite some time. 

Later when Chu Feng finally started browsing news on his communicator had he realized how much of a global sensation the affairs had escalated to be. 

There were a few pictures taken of the White Snake that had been uploaded to the internet. It showed that formidable body of the snake strangling a towering mountain to half, then soaring in the sky like a dragon descending from the heaven above. The visuals had given the internet users across the globe an astounding sight to behold.

Besides, there were also many vivid recounts told by the mutants who were present at the scene as well. The details of these stories shocked the world. 

People had been growing increasingly worried. The appearance of the White Snake proved the age-old legend of a White Snake roaming free amidst the Mountains of Taihang.

However, the world had never been lacking all sorts of similar legends about different places. Some were even more bizarre and horrific. Were these legends also to be proven true?

If every piece of legend and fable were to become true, the world would become a doomed place to be. 

Chu Feng browsed the news for quite a while before he finally put aside the communicator when sun finally set. 

“Chu Feng! We f*cked up! Help!”

Suddenly, Zhou Quan rushed into the yard, looking completely panic-stricken.

“What’s wrong?!” Chu Feng was dumbfounded. Obviously, Zhou Quan must have encountered something horrific. His pupils looked dilated, and he was out of breath. 

Yellow Ox was very vigilant. It vaulted over the walls of the yard and looked in the direction of Taihang Mountains. The calf suspected that the White Snake might have appeared to cause Zhou Quan to behave in such a delirious way. 

“The bad news hit me like a thunderbolt—news that had come of the death of someone dear!” Zhou Quan yelled and shouted. 

“Did your brother have an accident?” Chu Feng knew that Zhou Quan had a brother who had been working away from home before the time of the upheavals. All the roads had been torn into pieces, and yet his brother still had not made his way back home. 

“No!” Zhou Quan shook his head. He trembled and quivered; pointing to himself, he said, “It was me!”

What happened to him that could possibly made him so out of control? Chu Feng stared at him with a doubtful look. 

“My horns grew back!” Zhou Quan wailed and howled. 

Moments earlier, it was to his great relief that he could finally get rid of that pair of pesky horns. He felt his life was finally restored with normality as well as joy and hope.

However, after having eaten those pine nuts then a few hours of sleep, he noticed that his scalp was getting quite itchy. He then looked at himself in the mirror only to find out that snapped horns had come back to life again. It started growing, becoming more and more prominent once again. 

Chu Feng was rather speechless. In fact, he had expected to see a comeback of those horns long since the moment he heard about the unfortunate “accidents” that had happened to them. 

Yellow Ox, on the other hand, was not so calm upon the revelation of Zhou Quan’s fuss. The calf thought that it was the arrival of the deadly snake that had rendered Zhou Quan so frantic. 

“Come on, it’s just a pair of horn growing on your head. Stop making such a fuss about it.” Chu Feng patted Zhou Quan on the back. 

Zhou Quan suddenly burst into tears and said, “It’s not just two horns… if that were the case, I won’t be reacting like this.”

“Look! There is another one. My skull has become the host for a trio now!” Zhou Quan combed aside his slick-back hair and pointed at his head. 

Sure enough, besides the two broken horns that were now in the process of regenerating, there was a new horn emerging in the center of his skull. It pointed upwards, like a plait pointing straight to the sky 

“Wow, a third one?” Chu Feng was quite speechless too. 

Zhou Quan looked up to heaven and sighed heavily. Two was enough to make him freak out, but how would he have thought that his bad luck was to be further intensified by having a third one sticking upwards like a sore thumb! 

Yellow Ox grinned a silly grin. The calf even moved closer just to have a feel of this third horn acquired by Zhou Quan. 

Yellow Ox’s blatant mockery did not serve as much of a consolation to Zhou Quan either. He was so upset that he had every urge inside him to grind the meat of this apathetic bastard with his own teeth. 

“Moo!”


Yellow Ox softly bellowed. It then wrote a line of words on the ground, telling him that this might not be as bad as he might think. Later, the calf clarified that with this trio of an arrangement, Zhou Quan might even find a proper place in the family of all bovine creatures in the future. 

“You! Get lost!” Zhou Quan had grown all exasperated. He pushed aside Yellow Ox’s hooves and angrily stamped off, full of indignation and grievances. 

In the evening, Chu Feng and Yellow Ox sat cross-legged in the yard. The two seemed as if they were enjoying the full bright moon that had vividly displayed itself against the backdrop of the dark night; but in fact, the two were gazing down at the soil in the wooden basket. How they wished that a miracle would occur right here right now. 

“Someone is here!”

Suddenly, Chu Feng grew alerted. 

In fact, Yellow Ox had sensed the presence of a third person as well. Ever since the ingestion of those pine nuts, the calf’s instinct had grown ten times sharper than that in the past. 

“Go hide! Don’t poke out your head unless you were told to do so!”

Chu Feng ordered. Then, he hastily tidied up both the rooms inside and the yard outside in order to make sure that nothing that should stay as a secret would be exposed. 

The bright moon shone brightly above. The night after that bloody fight was quiet and damning. 

Chu Feng’s house was on the far east side of the village, bordering with a sizeable area of orchid farm. The luminous moon shone like a sparkling and crystal-clear jade, granting the whole world beneath it with a day-like radiance. 

The silhouette of a woman with a body slender and lanky emerged from the darkness in the distance. She was breathtakingly charming. Enshrouded in the brilliant moonlight, the lady elegantly walked in a halo of light. 

Lin Naoi. It was her.


To rise from defeat; to revive amidst the dissipation. 
As the vast oceans turn to dust and the thunder and lightning fade away,
That strand of spiritual mist once again approaches our great world. 
With the shackles that bound our world now severed—
A whole new world of mystery and wonder awaits, 
As we turn the corner...

The Sacred Ruins
Is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. A world that has recovered to a state that is roughly equal to our own world in terms of technology and culture, although its ancient history remains largely unknown. The story begins during the post-graduation trip of our protagonist, where he discovers some ancient ruins and witnesses “the great change”, an upheaval that changed everything. The changing earth not only brought about new, unexplored landscape but also sparked the evolution of all organisms. Plants and animals started gaining sentience and some humans obtained unimaginable powers. The legends, myths, and tales of old seemed to have suddenly come to life as the earth entered a new era where beasts and men formed factions, explored new lands and ultimately struggled for supremacy.
We follow the MC as he grows from being an eccentric young man into a badass expert warrior while meeting other funny characters and forming brotherly bonds. We watch as he falls into just as much hilarious situations as he does perilous ones, all the while wondering and slowly discovering the mysteries of this world. Just why was the world destroyed in the first place? Who or what had triggered this earth-shattering “change”? What profundities lie behind the process of evolution? 
------
