Posting for shits and giggles let’s see where this goes i’m not at all a good writer but fuck it i love dark souls so let’s write a story about the Soul Of Cinder

No, it isn't about me not resuming the continuation of this fan fic anymore. Instead, I'm apologizing for taking too long. To make it quick and short, I just started to play Dark Souls again. So in with it, yes, my passion to write has risen from the ashes. But I won't update so soon. Because I'm still at the area where we first meet Anri.
To be honest. It hurt so much to listen to the voices of these characters. Nostalgia is a train without rails. It goes wild. Anyway, I want to reach the part of whereas my chapter had ended. Because truth be told. I have 99% lost all memory of literally everything. Which is why I couldn't continue the chapter even if I wanted so. 
*Cough* So! 
In compensation. I'll release like short-stories fan fic On DS3. It won't be in anyway related to -This- storyline. Also, it'd be published in another novel. So you won't find it here once I do release it. 
Sorry for taking your time, and have a wonderful evening or day or afternoon ladies and gents.

A knightly woman roam about the lands of Lothric. Seeking out her truest of quest - to confront her grandfather who had long since gone hollow. Throughout her journey, Rosaria's Fingers would constantly be of difficult object to wave off, especially when there were no second chances in life; for she was not Undead nor Unkindled. Coming across a cemetery sanctuary, that was called the Firelink Shrine. The maiden had heard among the residence, that an Unkindle had the fairest of heart with the skills of old. Curiosity filled her mind, so she waited till a figure appeared with fog lingering about the silhouette by the bonfire.

A field of corpses. Shattered swords, broken spears, and split armor littered the battleground. Yet, amongst the bodies, a figure rose, ash pouring from the weblike plates of black armor. It was Connor, wearing his darkwraith armor and wielding its associated sword. In his left hand was a variant of the dark hand with three small spheres of ice, fire and lightning respectively. Said item was called hand of a dark conjurer, and able to act as a catalyst for all spells.

 Standing alone amongst the dead, Connor was stunned. What had just happened to him? Where was he? Why was he wearing his character's equipment? As there was no one to answer Connor, he was left dumbfounded.

 Coming to his senses, or so he hoped thats what they were, Connor surveyed to hellscape around him, wondering what caused the massive battle. Land, resources, pride and the like. Moving his gaze away from the ground, Connor had an epiphany.

 Why was he so calm? Even if he spent 13 of his 22 years of life playing video games while living off his family fortune, he was still a relatively normal person, if rich and lazy. But instead, being surrounded by thousands of dead soldiers couldn't even faze him, it even felt underwhelming.

 As Connor was debating with himself, something broke in his mind. Information rushed into his head smoothly, as if it were taking its rightful place. Exact knowledge of his inventory, spells, and stats floated into Connor's head, as well as something that even more bizarre.

 "Primordial Spark of Darkness?" Connor asked aloud in a confused tone. Concentrating, a minuscule black flame lept into existence before him, flickering faintly.
 Releasing his concentration, the spark flew into Connor's chest before disappearing. Having questions but nobody to answer them, Connor set off towards the now setting sun in hopes of finding civilization, not forgetting to praise along the way.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

 Half a dozen miles away from the battlefield, one of the two participant forces rested. It displayed a banner of a yellow spear, behind which were two crossed swords. To those who were familiar with it, it was the banner of the Kingdom of Saiken, known as one of the more warlike nations on the continent.

 In the commander's tent, two men were talking. One was the general in charge, and the other was his sorcerer assistant. They were discussing an odd fluctuation of magical energy in the battlefield, and the bad premonition the two got from it.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

 A night passed as Connor worked to make sense of his situation, not that he found it uncomfortable. He noticed dozens of oddities with his mind and how it functioned, however, as it seemed more in line with how he acted in DS3: ∞ edition than in real life. It was as if his way of thinking from both the game and real life had merged with the former coming out on top.

 The only things he was certain of were that he had indeed fused with his character, both physically and mentally and that from the beginning there was no way in hell for him to still be on Earth. For any other information, Connor had to find out himself.

 Waking from his daze, Connor noted that he had stumbled into a forest lush with greenery. Birds were chirping in the distance while insects cared not for the intruder, going about their daily lives. It would have been perfect if not for the foul stench of the beast he had stumbled upon.

 "A big brown bear with spikes jutting out of its joints... Eh, I've seen stranger" Connor stated nonchalantly.

 Hearing a noise rousing it from its sleep, the creature turned towards Connor lazily, thinking that a meal had delivered itself and that the creature would not need to hunt for a morning meal. With that in mind, the beast stood up and swiped at its prey.

 Only to find Connor laughing as several chaos orbs started to rain hell upon the animal. While the bear was writhing to rid itself of the flames, Connor leapt over its outstretched paw, severing the article as he went. Connor pondered once more as the unfortunate being burned behind him.

 *I know that I have merged with my character both physically and mentally, but that was still absurdly easy, not to mention that those were movements that were undoable in the game*

 While having such thoughts, Connor resumed his journey through the forest, caring little for the raging inferno behind him. His path was simple, really. Connor was walking through the brush and cutting down the occasional beast that stood in his way, walking in a relatively straight line. Yet while he was doing so, he failed to notice the spark within him burning a little brighter.

Finally, after a dozen tries, Connor "Coro" Smith defeated Slave Knight Gael. Due to purchasing the only infinite edition copy of Dark Soul III, there were over 30000 hours of new content to be unlocked in the playthroughs past NG+ 7. Connor had just finished his thousandth run. But something odd occurred. A message appeared in front of him, reading: "Congrats, Ashen One! Your conscious will now be completely fused into player character Coro and transported to a new world. Infinite fp and attunement slots will be your reward, and the power of the usurped flame will allow you to go to even greater heights. All other stats will be reset to 35/∞. All equipment reset to +2. Enjoy the world of Dorankas!"

People in Motian Realm didn't know the whereabouts of the demon prince till now. Over the past tens of thousands of years, humans almost had not seen or heard about such demon generals before the appearance of each demon prince. They couldn't get any intelligence about the demon prince at all. However, each demon prince could bring humans bloody rain or put humans and demons into a miserable situation. 
Undoubtedly, the most frightening feature of the demon princes was their power; instead of their brutality or craft!
Each demon prince could easily overwhelm immortal generals or demon generals on their same levels before promoting to a demon emperor; additionally, they all mastered many incredible secret methods and abilities.
Besides being powerful, the other frightening feature of demon princes was their great potential.
Ordinary demon generals could barely promote to a demon emperor as that very few immortal generals could promote to immortal emperors. However, a demon prince could have more than 50% possibility to promote to a demon emperor. On average, at least one of each two demon princes could promote to powerful demon emperors and rattle humans' cage.
Watching the demon prince who had already taken the upper hand, all the humans felt seeing another demon emperor in the future. 
Watching the demon prince's performance, Star Emperor squinted his eyes as a perilous light flashed across his eyes. He then took a look at Force Emperor...
——How about...
——If we move, Versatile Demon Emperor and Black Mountain Demon Emperor will move at the same time. We don't have an opportunity to do that. Additionally, if we disrupt the combat, human immortal generals will feel shameless about it in front of demons in the following 1,000 years; the 100,000-odd human immortal generals will also lose their morality in fighting demons. If so, how could we protect our territory in Nine Heavens Big Domain? It's just a battle. Humans could be defeated; however, we cannot be humiliated. Despite being broken into pieces, we should still keep our morality...
Force Emperor didn't speak. He just pulsed his mouth with a frown as his face became clear-cut like a steel sculpture. At the same time, he watched the combat with a resolute and icy expression.
Star Emperor became silent too; because he knew that Force Emperor was right. Additionally, if they followed his risky whim, they might not kill the demon prince; instead, they might make it worse.
What Versatile Demon Emperor said shocked Qi Tai pretty much. After knowing that he was fighting a demon prince and realizing that he couldn't use his battle formation, Qi Tai's attacking rhythm was completely disrupted by that demon prince.
Watching this scene, over 100,000 human immortal generals became silent and looked gloomy.
Right then, Force Emperor broke the silence in a muffled and domineering voice that reverberated around the entire battlefield. "Lord Lanling, if you kill the demon prince here today, Star Emperor and I promise to escort you all the way to the core of the Mountain Ruins and help you find the Nine Heavens Immortal Spring. If you fight the demon prince to death for humans, one of your sons could become my disciple. I promise to cultivate him to a supreme-level immortal general and reinvigorate Qi Clan!"
After hearing Force Emperor's words, over 100,000 human immortal generals became spirited at once; especially those supreme-level immortal generals in the army and those people beside Star Emperor and Force Emperor. When they saw the demon prince's performance just now, they felt a bit scared; but now, that demon prince became different in the eyes of the public. The demon prince was dangerous; however, if someone could kill him, with the guarantee of Star Emperor and Force Emperor, he would have 50% of the possibility to promote to an immortal emperor. Dangers and opportunities always coexisted.
"Hahaha, thanks, Your Majesty Force Emperor. If so, I will have no regret fighting the demon prince to death..." Lord Lanling's voice reverberated around the battlefield. At this moment, although being in an inferior situation, Lord Lanling still maintained his style as the owner of an immortal palace. The hero's boldness was indeed admirable. Over 100,000 human immortal generals instantly roared and cheered up for him, "Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!"...
Among the cheers of the human army, a light flashed across Qi Tai's body while a classic huge saber and the light&shade of a mountain range appeared behind him. Qi Tai then slashed at the light&shade of the mountain range by his saber and split it into two halves. Closely after that, the light&shade flashed into Qi Tai's body. Then, Qi Tai's saber suddenly became much sharper and more powerful, involving the demon prince into his saber light at a stroke. 
"Mountain-broken saber, it's mountain-broken saber, I've not imagined that Lord Lanling has awakened the ancestral bloodline of mountain-broken saber..." Someone behind Star Emperor and Force Emperor exclaimed with excitement and surprise.
Nobody knew that Lord Lanling had awakened this ancestral bloodline. All the human immortal generals widely opened their eyes as they expected to see Lord Lanling creating a marvel here.
If Lord Lanling could kill the demon prince, nobody would be jealous of him when he acquired Nine Heavens Immortal Spring and promoted to an immortal emperor.
However, in Qi Tai's saber lights, a wisp of black qi suddenly appeared on the demon prince. Almost at the same time, the space around the demon prince started to rotate like an invisible swirl. As a result, Qi Tai and his saber light which almost covered demon prince just now immediately started to quiver like a boat being involved in turbulence and deviate the former direction. Qi Tai couldn't control his saber light easily anymore...
Watching this scene, the cheers of human army gradually faded.
...
One hour later...
Qi Tai lived up to his appellation of Lord Lanling. He exerted his full efforts and used all of his trump cards to fight demon prince from the sky to the ground, then from the ground back to the sky. His battle qi strikes were like thunders as his saber lights were like lightning bolts, which caused the space to change their colors. The landform on the battlefield was almost changed completely. The former prairie had already been full of crisscrossed gullies and couldn't be recognized anymore...
If Lord Lanling was just fighting an ordinary supreme-level demon general, he had long killed his opponent.
However, the demon prince was unusual...
When that wing demon slashed into the air by its black spike and pierced through the gap between the armor and the helmet of Qi Tai, it sent Qi Tai's head flying away. The battlefield was in dead silence at once...
The spike which had pierced into Qi Tai's neck instantly disappeared. Closely after that, it stabbed into Qi Tai's heart. At the same time, the wing demon released another spike that caught up with the head of Qi Tai who was still widely opening his eyes. With a boom, his head was exploded together with the rest of his body. The bloody light being full of a supreme-level immortal general's surging battle qi and essential energy, qi and spiritual energy spread over the sky, leaving an over 2,000 m-long bloody rainbow in the sky. That was the last trace that Qi Tai left in this world. 
Qi Tai's blue shiny battle armor had already been divided into several parts, which were floating in the air independently and became the demon prince's booty.
The human army of over 100,000 human immortal generals became quiet at once.
The demon prince opened its mouth and sucked the remaining bloody rainbow in the sky into its mouth in an instant.
It even burped. Red light was flying over its body as its eyes completely turned bloody with a bit demonic and brutal qi as if it had taken a great tonic. As a result, it became more powerful than before. 
"Who else?" the demon prince roared at the army of over 100,000 human immortal generals while it extended its wings and hammered its chest as if it was driven crazy. 
On this occasion, the army of over 100,000 human immortal generals became silent as the demon army was in uproars.
All the supreme-level immortal generals and some immortal kings avoided the eyes of demon prince on purpose.
Today, two supreme-level immortal generals had been killed by the demon prince. Lanling Immortal Palace... was already over...
Nobody else would like to be the 3rd supreme-level immortal general to lose his life here...
"Is there any real hero among humans? Dare you fight me to death? You've got so many immortal palaces and over 100,000 immortal generals. Don't you have such a person? Dare anyone among you court death? Hahahaha..." The demon prince laughed aloud.
Facing such a domineering demon prince, many human immortal generals felt desperate as their faces all turned ashy. This demon prince couldn't be matched by ordinary supreme-level immortal generals any more; any supreme-level immortal general would be killed by it. On this level, demons had already gained an overwhelming victory...
'Can we defend our territory in Nine Heavens Big Domain?'
'As long as this demon prince promotes to a demon emperor, it will...'
Humans were always variable. Among over 100,000 human immortal generals, some were furious and gnashing their teeth; some people's eyes started to be hesitant; especially those who didn't belong to Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace.
"I will fight you..."
All of a sudden, a firm and resolute voice reverberated in the sky of Deities Plain, which stopped the demon prince's laugh at once.
After hearing this voice, Versatile Demon Emperor's smile also froze in an instant...
When all the human immortal generals were looking for the source of this voice, Star Emperor and Force Emperor immediately fixated onto the back of the human army.
A pair of golden feather wings had already appeared in the skyline like clouds hanging over the sky with wuthering wind and rumbling thunders!
Under that pair of golden feather wings was a youth who was as innocent and flamboyant as before...

**Warning: This novel contains mature content**


At that moment, a cultivator stepped into the vacant sky, looked at them above the stairs of the Celestial Demon Arena, and said, "These three demon matrixes are devised by many demon saints and performed like one. As challengers, we are put in a passive position when we enter the matrix. It is not fair for us."
These three demon matrixes respectively contained three different matrix methods targeting warriors of three different levels of Saint Plane: the Doctrine Saint, the True Self Saint, and the Unblemished Saint. The Nirvana Saint Plane was not included since nirvana-level top demon beasts were also hard to find.
Had the matrixes not been in charge of four royal members of the demon clan, it would have been extremely difficult to make them so large.
"If you don't want to enter the matrixes, fine, you can choose to challenge the four of us. Defeat us all and you can also pass," said the great demon beast of the Thunder God Clan, its sonorous voice booming like thunder.
The cultivator glanced at the four demon beasts in the sky. Their descendants were the so-called Four Tyrants of the Celestial Demon City, who were also extremely talented, especially the demon crown prince Zhu Yan. Upon inquiring about them, it was said that this crown prince was such a skilled fighter that all of the Celestial Demon City was under his control.
Moreover, since those four demon beasts' Planes were all very high, challenging them would mean being affected by their Planes. One person had tried it before and ended up severely injured.
If he failed to challenge the matrix, they would at least show him some mercy if he submitted his belongings and cultivation methods to them.
The main thing was that their most core characters had not taken action because there was no absolute certainty. If they failed, they had to hand over something along with the cultivation methods they used. Before then, the Zhu Yao demon crown prince killed those who refused to hand over the cultivation methods they used during the matrixes.
They couldn't even say anything. The rules had been set, and it was their territory. All they could do was obey.
If they didn't comply, they couldn't blame anything for their deaths.
At that moment, the Zhu Yan demon crown prince got up lazily from the throne, stretched out like a human, and glanced down toward the warriors with a pair of golden eyes. He said, "It seems that you are not being serious today, either. Fine, let's call it a day and continue the game tomorrow. You can go back and discuss what to do. If tomorrow you still behave like you did today, then please get out of my sight."
The other three demon beasts followed him and stood up; the demon matrixes on the Celestial Demon Arena were removed as they left.
The human cultivators looked emotionless. The Zhu Yan Demon Crown Prince was an extremely proud person, using them as training dummies while plundering their treasures and cultivation methods.
"I have heard that human beings are cautious by nature. It seems that it is true. Aren't all the five supreme forces in your human cultivation world here?" the Zhu Yan demon crown prince jeered. He swept his eyes to the crowd and soon left.
Demon beasts of the demon clan were all thrilled. The cultivators of the top forces in the human world must've been the most talented ones.
It seemed that the demon crown prince of the Celestial Demon City was seeking the strongest opponent.
In Celestial Demon City, the Zhu Yan demon crown prince was notorious for his fierce and tyrannical nature. Many monsters were in awe of him, but none of them could surpass him.
Although this was the most famous main city in the Demon Realm that bordered the human world, everyone had heard that Zhu Yan the demon emperor was not a simple demon emperor. He was well-known within the demon world as a powerful demon emperor.
Had it not been for this, the other three demon emperors would not be so willing to follow him, leaving their offspring to follow the demon crown prince to spread chaos.
"It seems that no one has received the news yet," said the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord. "Let's go visit the demon crown prince."
"Qingyang, even though you are the head of the Verdant Gazelle Palace, the demon crown prince may not even bother."
The bull demon beast said to the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord.
"It's worth a try," the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord said nonchalantly. To him, there was little hope for Ye Futian to pass through the demon matrix. If he wanted to return the favor to Ye Futian, he could only visit the demon crown prince.
As the lord of the Verdant Gazelle Palace within the Celestial Demon City, he served the demon emperor; he could at least talk with him. Of course, if he failed, all he would lose was his face.
The Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord went to a side road, where the demon crown prince and his party were heading.
After a while, they appeared below the stairs. The Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord cupped his hands and said, "Your Highnesses, Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord is here to salute you."
The crown prince Zhu Yan fixed his golden eyes onto the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord. He said, "I have heard about the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord for a long time and have always wanted to meet you. What brings you here today?"
It was said that the demon crown prince Zhu Yan was obstinate and ferocious, but he was by no means incompetent. He knew about many powerful demon beasts in the territory. The Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord was of the Nirvana Saint Plane, which was very rare among demon beasts. His fighting skills were also marvelous, which was worthy of learning from.
The Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord looked toward the people around him, and immediately the crown prince Zhu Yan also noticed Ye Futian.
"Human cultivators?" the demon crown prince Zhu Yan asked.
"Yes," The Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord said, nodding. "When my daughter was in a dangerous situation, these cultivators rescued her out of kindness. Thus, I ventured out here to inquire if Your Highness could show mercy and reveal anything about the news."
The crown prince Zhu Yan looked untroubled without reacting.
"You want to return the favor to them, but you have seen what has happened today. Why bother to ask?," the Taotie demon beast next to him said. Although his skull resembled that of a human, his complexion still looked very ferocious. His beast body looked extremely tall and sturdy, giving him an intimidating appearance.
The crown prince Zhu Yan waved his hand and said, "It's fine for the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord to ask, but they need to wait after the thing is gone."
Speaking of them, he swept his golden eyes towards Ye Futian and others and said, "I know there are many merits to being human, but sometimes you are too clever and prefer to use surreptitious approaches. If you want news, you can go directly to the Celestial Demon Arena."
Ye Futian looked at him and felt an almost divine flame burning from his eyes. The demon crown prince Zhu Yan Yao was just as the rumored said; he promised to answer the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord's request, but he didn't give a real answer.
Once he finished speaking, the Zhu Yan crown prince turned around and left. The other demon princes all looked at him from behind. With his massive eyes, the demon prince of the Thunder God Clan fiercely stared at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian just looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
Actually, he and the Thunder God clan had a long history.
The prince of Thunder God clan seemed to have sensed the kindness in Ye Futian's eyes. With a doubtful look, he stared at him and then left.
"Thank you, Your Highness," the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord saluted and said behind them. The demon crown prince's promise was already a big favor to him.
"Qingyang, His Highness usually never agrees to such a request, but this time he did it. I guess he must have a good impression of you since he has heard of you before. If you didn't mention this request, maybe he will help you more in the future," the bull demon beast said. "For example, maybe he would let you cultivate with him."
"It doesn't matter," the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord said in apathy. He looked back at Ye Futian and said, "This is how the crown prince is. You don't need to worry too much about going to the matrix. Since the Prince had said that he will talk about this once the thing is over, he has granted the request. Of course, if any human cultivator succeeds in passing the matrix and hears the news, it may spread by itself."
"Indeed," Ye Futian said, nodding, "Anyway, thanks a lot, Sir."
He knew that just now the bull beast demon was actually talking to him.
The Demon beasts in the surrounding area gradually all dispersed. Nearby was a group of people standing there and looking this way.
Ye Futian seemed to be aware of it. He turned his eyes and saw several people there looking at him.
They were from the Purple Underground Sect; Zhang Changqing was also there.
Somewhat unexpectedly, he encountered Ye Futian here. Was Ye Futian also inquiring about his brother?
"It seems that you are not only talented in Thunder Laws but also very clever," Zhang Changqing said. They were all finding solutions in unraveling the demon matrix, but Ye Futian was unusual; he got into the game by asking a demon beast for help. This way, he learned of the news from the demon crown prince.
There was irony in his tone. The demon crown prince was rather abrasive towards them, and the demon matrixes were obviously aimed at dealing with them. Even so, Ye Futian tried to flatter the demon crown prince, and he disdained the behavior.
Ye Futian glanced at him with no reply.
Just then, a group of warriors came, all of whom were from the eight orthodox forces.
"Zhang Changqing, who is this?" someone asked.
"The person who broke the record of the Wutu Divine Mountain, Ye Futian," Zhang Changqing replied. There were strange looks on all their faces; some people even released fighting will from their bodies.
People of the eight orthodox sects were all talented cultivators in Thunder Laws. When the Eight Great Divine Mountains were opened, many people were there. Among them was only one person who broke a record like Ye Futian.
Some of them even tried once the last time when the divine mountains were opened. Ye Futian, the person in front of them who broke the record, could be said to not only have surpassed all the cultivators who entered the Wutu Divine Mountain but even almost outperformed all challengers of the Eight Divine Mountains.
Even though Ye Futian was not taken as a disciple by the Purple Underground Sect because of Gu Tianxing's appearance that day, his name still weighed enough for all warriors of the eight thunder law orthodox sects to have at least known his name.
"Seeing him in person was no better than hearing his name," someone said in slight disappointment. They all wanted to see what kind of person could break the record of the divine mountain, reject the invitation of Purple Underground Sect, and even the Violet Heavenly Palace. Now that they saw him, they discovered that Ye Futian wanted to flatter the demon clan; they no longer thought well of Ye Futian.
Seeing this scene, the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord looked toward Ye Futian with amazement. It seemed that Ye Futian was also renowned among human cultivators, or he wouldn't have attracted so many people.
His decision to visit the demon crown prince earned him some criticism that affected his reputation.
He just wanted to return Ye Futian's favor, but the situation was now what he expected.
"Everyone has their own choice. Let's go and discuss how to pass the demon matrixes tomorrow," another person said in a calm tone. Ye Futian was just a passenger to them, and he didn't have much effect on their states of mind.
What was imperative now was to break the demon matrixes.
People nodded and gradually departed, flashing away from the scene.
　　


In a time when the Divine Prefectures of the East Sea were in great disarray, Emperor Ye Qing and Donghuang the Great appeared to save the day. Under their rule, the prefectures united and all nations as well as  their kings have been controlled. However, the legend of these two great heroes becomes altered when Emperor Ye Qing's name is wiped from the history books after his sudden death. All statues and images of him were destroyed and his name a taboo. Only the legend of Donghuang the Great shall live on.                            

Fifteen years later, a young man by the name of Ye Futian begins his journey in search for his true identity. The legend of Futian was going to be one for the history books.

"Impossible!" the Fiend General in a silver armor yelled.
In its eyes, the Ancient Demon Prince was an invincible being, who could fight with a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord. Although Chen Fan was powerful, he hadn't entered the Nascent Soul Level after all, and still, he had slayed the Ancient Demon Prince!
Zhao Juexian's jaw also dropped.
That was a member of the royal family. Its ancestor was an Ancient Demon that ruled over a planet. And yet, it lost to Chen Fan. How powerful exactly was Chen Fan?
"Argh!"
An earth-shattering roar came out from the giant pit.
A beam of black light shot into the sky and the Ancient Demon Prince appeared. Its mouth was bleeding and the body parts that weren't covered by the armor were filled with cuts. One of its horns had also been broken. The attack Chen Fan made with three Essence Cores was astonishing, as powerful as that from a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
But the Ancient Demon Prince laughed.
"Human, you're burning your energy cores. How many more attacks like this can you make?"
Then, three of the five light rays on Chen Fan's body dissipated; he was then surrounded by the black Xuan Wu Power and the azure Azure Thearch Power only. 
The biggest difference between an Essence Core and a Golden Core was that the former didn't have a high endurance.
If an Essence Core was a battery, a Golden Core would be an eternal fire that provided endless energy.
"Even if I have to use up all the energy in my Essence Cores, I must kill you today."
Chen Fan raised his sword.
He didn't hesitate at all. For Chen Fan, it didn't matter if his energy was used up or whether his five Essence Cores were all broken. He could form five divine-grade Essence Cores again in three years.
"Boom!"
Chen Fan was surrounded by an azure and black aura, and he turned into a beam of light, shooting towards the Ancient Demon Prince again.
The Ancient Demon Prince shouted.
Rays of black light came out of its body.
The Ancient Demon Armor let out beams of light and the body of the Ancient Demon Prince produced a terrifying energy, as if there were a black sun burning and providing it with powerful energy. In front of such power, Zhao Juexian and the Fiend General in silver armor were much weaker.
"Golden Cores are categorized into nine grades! And yet, there are still divine-grade Golden Cores above. Cultivators with a divine-grade Golden Core are comparable to the descendants of Divine Beasts. I'm still inferior even if my Sky-Swallowing Python blood reaches the phenomenal success level."
Zhao Juexian looked up and smiled wryly.
The cultivation arts used to form superior-grade Golden Cores were all in the hands of the supreme sects and historical families, while those for divine-grade Golden Cores were nowhere to be found and not even Zhao Juexian had heard of any. 
Speaking of level, Zhao Juexian and the Ancient Demon Prince were both peak-stage Golden Core Cultivators.
However, the level of their Golden Cores determined their strength. One of them had a first-grade Golden Core, while the other had a ninth-grade Golden Core, which was nine times more powerful. So, Zhao Juexian would never be able to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator and take down the Ancient Demon Prince no matter how hard he tried.
"Boom!"
The world shook.
The two of them clashed again.
This time, Chen Fan was obviously weaker than he used to be, but the Tianming Sword drew an arc in the air and attacked at an incredible angle. The sky was then separated into different dimensions.
The Ancient Demon Prince was getting worried.
The Ancient Demons were known for their fighting tactics and martial arts, which were the best of the best across the universe. Even the legendary Shuras weren't as powerful as they were. Human cultivators were indeed good at using Dharma Treasures and Divine Powers, but they were a lot weaker when it came to martial arts.
"How is that possible? He's only a human. Why does he know such a tactic? This sword art can only be found in the ancient sacred grounds of legends that have millions of years of history." 
The Ancient Demon Prince was shocked.
"Kun Peng to the Heavenly Courts!"
Chen Fan slashed with his sword and the Kun Peng appeared behind him. Even though the Kun Peng Essence Core had shattered, he had completed the Kun Peng Painting and the blood of the Kun Peng was still inside his body, so he could use the power at any time.
The Tianming Sword then turned into the Kun Peng and flew around the sky.
"Boom!"
That slash was made at an unimaginable angle. The Ancient Demon Prince was overwhelmed. The Demon Blade of Heaven Slay broke and the shadow of the Kun Peng flashed past it.
"Crack!"
The body of the Ancient Demon Prince was split in half by the Sword Qi.
There was a cut on its forehead, which then extended to the chest. Not even the Ancient Demon Armor could protect it.
But the next second, the two halves of the Ancient Demon Prince's body combined again.
It sneered with a cold voice.
"Human, our bodies are very well-known in the world and I'm only half a step away from becoming a Demon Commander. You can't kill me."
Chen Fan frowned.
The terrifying bodies of the Ancient Demons were something that drove people to despair. When they became Demon Commanders, they could be reborn. Although the Ancient Demon Prince wasn't there yet, it was pretty close to that level.
More importantly, Chen Fan's slash could have crushed the Ancient Demon Prince's body to little bits, but the Ancient Demon Armor had blocked it. Such an injury wasn't anything for the Ancient Demon Prince.
"Again!"
Chen Fan initiated the Xuan Wu Essence Core and turned into a Xuan Wu ten thousand feet tall. Surrounded by black water, he was able to control the world.
"The blood of the Xuan Wu?"
The Ancient Demon Prince was a bit surprised, but it laughed in the end. "Great! If I can offer this Xuan Wu descendant to our great God, it'll surely give me something better than what the Demon Commanders have." 
Then—
The Ancient Demon Prince swayed and its body was also enlarged to a ten thousand feet height.
It didn't look like a human anymore. Its true form was exposed. It was covered with black scales and its eyes were shining like blood diamonds. The glittering black wings on its back covered the sky.
"Boom!"
The two giants clashed against each other again.
The Xuan Wu Sacred Land and the Ancient Demon's Sacred Land were expanded. Endless Xuanming Heavy Water and Ancient Demon Qi clashed against each other. A hundred miles around the two became a chaotic world.
"Bang."
The Xuan Wu attacked with its claws, while the Ancient Demon Prince merged with the sword and turned into a ray of black light. 
Their battle was more intense; both of them were putting their lives on the line.
Although the Xuan Wu could resist thousands of cultivation arts, the Demon Blade of Heaven Slay was a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure. It was sharp to an extreme and could tear the sky apart. On the other hand, the body of the Ancient Demon Prince might be strong, but it wasn't sturdy enough to resist the Xuan Wu's attacks.
In a second.
Both of them had suffered injuries and drops of blood fell from the sky, creating many black holes.
"Argh!"
In the end, Chen Fan was drenched in blood.
Even though he had a phenomenal-success Divine Body and had actually formed two divine-grade Essence Cores, the Ancient Demon Prince was much stronger than he was. He was only a Connate Cultivator, while the Ancient Demon Prince was a peak-stage Golden Core Cultivator.
If Chen Fan had entered the Golden Core Level, he would have smashed the Ancient Demon Prince long before.
"Human, surrender. Your power is declining and I can continue to fight forever. Yield to me and let me offer you to our God," the Ancient Demons said with a greedy look.
Even Zhao Juexian felt something was wrong. The azure and black aura on Chen Fan became dimmer.
Countless warriors of the Ancient Demons had already started cheering and they were waiting for their master to kill their enemy.
"Unfortunately, Essence Cores aren't Golden Cores after all!"
Chen Fan felt a bit sad.
Once the energy of an Essence Core exceeded its limit, it would become unstable and break. In the meantime, two of Chen Fan's Essence Cores had reached their limit. They were the larger, two Essence Cores he had made with countless Divine Materials.
If he continued to fight, his last two divine-grade Essence Cores would also break.
"But… So what?"
Chen Fan's eyes were full of determination.
"I told you, I will kill you! Even if I die, I'll come back and stand by my word!
"Azure Thearch Essence Core, break!" Chen Fan shouted.
The Azure Thearch Essence Core exploded in his body. An energy ten times more powerful surged out from Chen Fan. Then, the Chaotic Divine Tree appeared behind him.
The Divine Tree was dozens of feet tall.
"Oh no!"
The Ancient Demon Prince was about to fall back.
But Chen Fan reached out and the Divine Tree turned into a shadow, going onto his hand. His hand seemed to be enveloped in an aura. Once he attacked, the power of the divine-grade Essence Core went for ten miles and pierced through the chest of the Ancient Demon Prince.
The armor on the Ancient Demon Prince let out beams of black light, but it couldn't stop Chen Fan.
"Argh!"
The Ancient Demon Prince slashed with the Demon Blade of Heaven Slay and a blade aura ten thousand feet long flashed towards Chen Fan. It was apparently hoping to force Chen Fan to surrender.
Facing this powerful attack, Chen Fan only stabbed with all of his energy.
"Crack!"
His hand penetrated the Ancient Demon Armor and the chest of the Ancient Demon Prince, then he gently squeezed the Fiend Core inside of it.
"Bang!"
The Fiend Core that held the energy of the Ancient Demon Prince was crushed to pieces by Chen Fan. 
The Ancient Demon Prince let out a roar. It was confused and enraged. However, the Fiend Core had shattered and it had no chance of being reborn again, just as it happened when a cultivator's Golden Core broke.
"Boom!"
The body of the Ancient Demon Prince exploded and became countless threads of energy that were spread in all directions.
At that moment, all the Ancient Demons froze. They couldn't believe what they had just seen. The Generals even knelt down with a devastated look. 
In the sky.
Only Chen Fan was left, standing with blood all over his body and glittering like an unbeatable god!


Chen Fan, the great cultivator, failed to transcend the Tribulation of Heaven: the final stage of his cultivation. Little did he know that this accident would bring him back to Earth and turn back time to five hundred years ago when he was just a teenager. 

‘I had once reached the precipice of power in the known universe and could look down on the ten thousand realms with pride; I was lonely nonetheless. I will not leave any regret nor anyone behind while I relive my past life this time around. ’

Join Chen Fan as he relives his teenage years, righting the wrongs of the past as he punishes his unwitting old enemies. 

As Prince Alarick follows the demon with Chloe within his arms,  
The prince could feel the warmth of Chloe more …
Realizing how important she is and how their years were spent mostly together ever since after the war between the rogue werewolves and the royal army.
A bond that grew over time.
Memories kept flashing back in Prince Alarick's mind regarding his moments with Chloe.
The hesitation of Chloe with him at first …
Building trust …
And most of all, being there for him during his grieving time.
Losing a mother, someone who cared for him truly and unconditionally, was something he thought that he would never survive.
But the presence and efforts of Chloe to understand him, be there for him … made it all seem easier.
For a longest time, Prince Alarick revolved his life in proving himself to his father and earning his affection. At the same time, fulfilling the dreams that his mother wanted and failed to achieve for herself. He made it his own dream to provide what was never achieved by his mother.  
To get the crown and be the rightful ruler of all werewolves in the kingdom.
Before Persephone passed away, her last words to Prince Alarick open his eyes to things he never thought existed within.
That his true happiness does not lie on material things and power …  
Instead, being with his family and the one he truly loves, provide genuine happiness and peace within him.
Even before he completed the mating process with Chloe, he already fell in love with her beyond the influence and effect of the mate bond.
He realized this when Chloe never left his side during his grieving days for his mother.
Taking care of him when he got sick due to his grieving and depression.
Giving him more reason to live and expect for tomorrow to come.
Falling in love was something he never planned or envisioned with himself.
Being consumed with his dreams and responsibilities as a son, and now for the first time in his life.
Loving someone sincerely may have turned him into a better version of himself.
All of these realizations and flashback of his memories with Chloe were going through in his mind.
As he look at his unconscious mate, he whispered.
"I will do everything for you! To keep you alive …" he whispered to her.
The demon heard this despite being meters away from the couple.
"Hmmm … you do not mind selling your soul to the dark lord? For the sake of the survival of that witch? Are you sure she loves you back?" the demon pointed out the possibility of Chloe not loving the prince back.
Without any hesitation, the prince replied in a heartbeat.
"I do not care if she does or does not … Being with her and loving her are the only things keeping me sane … There is nothing in this world matters the most, except for her! More than my life …" a sincere reply from Prince Alarick.
A laughter of disbelief could be heard from the demon as they made their way to the lair of darkness.
"Hahahaha! Werewolves and humans are such pathetic creatures. Blinded by love and doing things for their devotion. That is why … both creatures are the weakest amongst the hierarchy of supernatural beings." The demon vocalized his own perspective regarding the hierarchy amongst supernatural beings.
This did not fare well in Prince Alarick's mind.
"If you think so highly for your kind, then why are you all in hiding? Compared to werewolves and human beings, thriving and hunting their enemies." A calm and valid response from Prince Alarick.
Showing no hints of fear.
The response of Prince Alarick irked the demon for the truth beneath those words.
"You know that your mate's life depends on our Dark Lord. Meaning, we hold such power that not anyone can possess." Proud words from the demon as they kept going.
"Though, needing my subservient pledge puts things into consideration that we werewolves are important to your evil cause. You would not strike a deal with me if we are not that special. Am I right?" Prince Alarick continued to provoke the demon.
At the response of Prince Alarick, the demon finally got annoyed.
The prince stopped poking at the ego and pride of the demon.
Seeing the expression of the demon makes it clear that his words made an impact and sense.
"Where are we going anyways? We keep walking around. If you are really powerful, can you not just teleport us to our destination?" Prince Alarick told the demon.
"First of all, we are heading to the lair of the Dark Lord where all his servants reside. Secondly, I do not have such ability to teleport and create portals but soon I will possess the ability to do so." The demon's reply to Prince Alarick.
"In other words, we are heading to your headquarters. And it looks like you are not that powerful as you set to believe." Prince Alarick unintentionally mentioned something to the demon which will further trigger his irritation.
Before things could go worse between the two.
The wind around them changed.
Something alarmed the two.
Prince Alarick placed Chloe's body on the ground gently and he folded his shirt into a pillow for Chloe's head to lay on.
A powerful presence is fast approaching.  
It made the demon summon his battle gear and transform into his real form.
Sturdy armor covered the body of the demon.
Due to his sudden transformation into a monstrous beast with large horns.
Prince Alarick was surprised that the demon became a hideous and dangerous-looking creature instantly.
Loud roar echoed the forest.
Confusion and nervousness filled Prince Alarick's senses.
He doesn't know which was more threatening.
Could it be the fast approaching creature towards their position or the demon that instantaneously transformed in front of him?
When he was about to shift into his complete wolf form, a familiar scent was recognized by the prince.
"Magdeline?" Prince Alarick looked at the direction of the fast approaching witch.
There was no time for greetings and pleasantries.
Because the demon and the Grand White Witch immediately clashed.
Even though he was only spectating at the sudden clash, he had to be on his full guard and attention because things just turned complicated.
Magdeline immediately summoned her powerful earth spells combined with her light magic.
She knew that demons will be weak against light magic.
Another roar could be heard after receiving the powerful whip lashes from the powerful witch.
The demon growled in anger and frustration that the witch was too powerful and quick in her combination of attacks.
"Grrrr!!!" the demon uttered with smoke coming out from his mouth and nose.
Gathering all his dark energy and fire nature abilities were about to be exhibited by the demon.
But Magdeline was fully aware of the abilities of the demon.  
It was not her first time to deal with one demon.
Another consecutive surprising attacks were released by Magdeline.
"Arrrghhhh!!!" the demon screamed in pain.
His body was being constricted by the large vines that emerged suddenly from the ground.
It was imbued with light magic.  
Suppressing the demon's dark magic and preventing him to further access his powers.
"I have dealt with plenty of demons during the first great war! So, I will vanquish you like how I did with the others." Magdeline declared as she finishes her casting of the vanquishing spell for the demons.
Then the demon realized who he was against with.
It was too late for him to realize the difference of their power and to even attempt for an escape.
"Vanish from this earth!!!!!" Magdeline last words to the demon.
Prince Alarick realized what Magdeline was trying to achieve.
"NOOOOO!!!" Prince Alarick screamed.
Moments after the demon was vanquished.
The symbol in Prince Alarick's wrist still remained.
Magdeline approached Prince Alarick and Chloe.
"What did you just do? That demon was the only thing that can keep Chloe alive." Prince Alarick told Magdeline.
Right after the magic essence of the demon disappeared from Chloe's body, pain and the effects of the curse returned.
Prince Alarick panicked and wanted to snap at Magdeline but Magdeline explained herself before the prince could even tear Magdeline's head.
"The demon tricked you. I can save my granddaughter, you almost sold your soul to their master for nothing. Before you go do something drastic, calm down and think!" Magdeline explained.
"I HAVE NO TIME TO THINK! Chloe's life is in danger, you old witch!" Prince Alarick could not contain his cool and calm knowing Chloe was in pain.
Chloe's pain was something making her mate completely act irrational and impatient.
The Grand White Witch understood the current behavior of the prince.
So, instead of responding to his irritation and rudeness, she summoned a temporary light magic and healing spell to preserve Chloe's life.
Just after Magdeline casted her spells on her granddaughter, the pain on Chloe's face disappeared but the symbol of the curse on her shoulder remained.
"Now you can stop thinking of killing me." Magdeline said to Prince Alarick.
"I was not thinking of it at all." Prince Alarick defensively replied the grandmother of Chloe.
Chloe's grandmother smiled at the sight of a guilty prince.
She gestured for the prince to carry Chloe and casted a transportation portal.
"We have to return to the royal palace. I will be needing Susan's help in removing the dark curse left by her mother." Magdeline informed the prince while he started to take Chloe into his arms.
Meanwhile …
[-In the lair of the Dark Lord-]
Zaeqir was standing in front of a huge pillar with ancient demonic runes.
A demon marking disappeared from the walls of pillar.
"Damn it! Another demon was vanquished …" Zaeqir expressed his disappointment.
"Looks like we have to use this one after all …" the banshee stated to Zaeqir referring to the lifeless body laid on a stone crypt.
A body which they took after the final battle.
The powerful necromancer stood looking over the body.
"I will have to resurrect Lucius!" Zaeqir declared.

"When you love someone, you do not give up on them! You fight until the end!”
~Selene

"I refuse to lose you !!  PLEASE !!"
~Prince Alcyd

"Who needs love if I have the world under my palm?"
~King Viktor

Under the Blood Moon, it is told in the prophecy that a she-wolf will be born with the mixed blood of a witch and a vampire. It is revealed that Selene will rule over the supernatural world and possessing the power to unite the werewolves. 

Selene lost her pack and family. She vows to search for her older brother, her only remaining relative who seems to be alive. 

Crown Prince Alcyd McSigurd, second son of King Viktor is the most arrogant, ruthless, and powerful among all his siblings. He is an Alpha too, though not the king of Alphas, like his father. Despite being nineteen, Alcyd is known as his father’s youngest general in the werewolf kingdom.


Thus, dark forces fear the prophecy that is to come into fruition. A battle for supremacy over the supernatural world is bound to happen.

[Volume 1] - War of the Werewolves

[Volume 2] - Legion of Vampires

What kind of twisted fate awaits the Alpha Prince and Selene? 

Will there be love conquers it all or will darkness takes it all?

The battle between good and evil; who will stand victorious in this battle for supremacy?

The butler clashed with the Demon of Lust.
Drysdale was surprised to see this prince who left an impression to him. The demon was aware about the death of the Demon of Wrath and he thought that the demon was vanquished by the martial practitioners but Drysdale didn't expect to meet the prince who captured them, hundred years ago.
The death of Samuel might be related to the prince of demon. Drysdale admitted that Art was the only capable individual that could vanquish them. It might be doable for the cultivators to defeat them but their lives would be exchanged for it.
They stopped their attacks as they observed each other. Measuring up their opponent. The demon smirked as he watched the changes of the once young prince that bravely defeated them eighth hundred years ago as the first mission of the prince as an heir occurred. The Seven Deadly Demons were not in a friendly relationship as they worked alone. As a demon, they were common to be selfish, greedy, lustful and possessive.
But they didn't anticipate that they would fell in one swoop in the hands of this demon prince. The young Art subjugated them at the same time by putting them in a trap that used their desires as the bait.
All of them ended up in the deepest part of the demon kingdom's dungeon, the Purgatory. Although they were prone to the wicked things as they were the initiator of the negativity within the minds of the mortals even without a physical body, a stray demon like them could borrow dark energy from the negativity that humans produced. But the hellish punishments within the Purgatory were something that they couldn't stand as their stay there was very terrible which Drysdale couldn't imagine how long he would live despite having a long lifespan as a demon.
"My prince, you've been living well," the Demon of Lust drawled while he smirked at the cold-face butler. Art ignored the taunting of the other as he dashed to attack the demon.
"No greetings?"
The silvery pink haired young woman didn't delay their escape as she prompted Chi and Ulric to move. The young man had many question on his mind as he looked at the man wearing a butler suit who was clashing with the demon. He was matched with the skills of the demon as he smoothly flow with his movements. Even Drysdale was not faring well with the offenses of the butler.
The Demon of Lust's sight was caught with the moving figures of the three individuals. He saw that his precious collections were escaping and he couldn't let it happen as the perfect being that he wanted to possess was also running away but Art blocked his line of sight as the butler was irked to see that a lowly-demon like him dared to covet his young master.
Drysdale came back to his senses as he received a hard blow from the expressionless butler. He flew off to the trees as he spit out a saliva mixed with blood while trying to stand up. Art remained on his position as he waited for his enemy's counterattack.
Looking from the poor-look of Drysdale compared to the optimal shape of the butler, the Demon of Lust finally noticed the odd suit of the Demon Prince as he went near. Immediately, he remembered the interaction between the silvery pink haired young woman and the butler while it dawned on him.
He looked at the expressionless butler and asked, "You…you contracted with Chun?"
Only silence met him as Art didn't respond. The Demon of Lust thought that it was just a joke of the young woman but the truth was already visible infront of him, he just needed to connect the dots in order to realize it.
Drysdale widened his smile as he couldn't deny that the Demon Prince was always the fortunate demon that could gain such things.
He chuckled as he started, "So the arrogant heir of the Demon King was now under control of a mortal?"
The diminished hope of the demon alighted as he had a chance to defeat this prince. Art would be unbeatable if he wasn't contracted but unfortunately, he got involved with a human.
'That's good. I may able to take my revenge.'
The Demon of Lust remembered his sufferings when he was still trapped at the Purgatory and the excruciating pain that he felt when the demon prince broke his wings.
As part of the Seven Deadly Demons, they had two wings as they were the second lowest ranked in the Demon pyramid. Their wings were precious part of being a demon as it was a symbol of their superiority.
The seven of them was captured and got one wing of theirs teared on the hands of Art, as a demotion of their rank. Though, they still retained their title.
Drysdale had no idea what they had committed to be prisoned in the Purgatory. He couldn't deny that he did play with so many mortals that it was against the Demon Law but it was just a minor violation as few of the demons did that as well.
But as he got this opportunity to defeat this heir, he would not let it pass away.
As a contracted demon to a mortal, the demon would be limited in their power due to the ability of their master. The energy that supplied the contracted demon came from their master. And also, there was another way to defeat a contracted demon even their master had an unlimited supply of energy. If the master didn't take the ceremony of blood exchange.
Looking from the current state of the butler, Drysdale knew that for how many years that Art served his young master, he never took blood from her. This would diminished the ability and energy of the butler when years passed by.
And from the looks of it, the demon prince was nearing his limit. Although, Art wouldn't say a thing on his situation. Drysdale could see it.
The reason why Art didn't take any blood from Chun yet because if he drank from her while she was not yet in the right age for maturity, Chun would live a life of depending to Art. She would be needing her butler's feeding and that wouldn't do good for both of them.
Drysdale smiled as he dashed towards the expressionless butler.
The butler was able to dodge his onslaught but Art felt a sting on his cheek. Drysdale saw it and he smirked as he was able to leave a mark at the precious heir.
It wasn't noticeable but Art knew his strength was dwindling. It might be due to the nearing maturity of his young master as his reserves were only until that day.
"Looks like the prince of demon finally taste his defeat. Don't you worry, I'll just kill you fast and take your contract from Chun." The nonchalant statement of the demon made the butler felt a sense of turbulent emotion of displeasure and somehow anger.
Drysdale noticed the darkened face of the prince as he curled the corner of his lips into a mocking manner.
Suddenly, Art disappeared from his spot and appeared infront the Demon of Lust. He wanted to finish this quick as he knew that he was running out of time.
If he prolonged this fight, he would surely be defeated and defeat wasn't an option as he couldn't just give his young master to this demon.
As a prince of demon, he was more possessive of what was his and he would do everything what it takes to protect and secure his possession.
Chun was his, only his.
The butler's pupil dilated as he felt an excruciating pain coming from his abdomen. He wasn't able to dodge the sudden trick of the demon.
Drysdale was a Demon of Lust and Art forgot that his opponent had a special ability which was levitation.
Blood gushed out from his mouth as he pulled out the thick branch that was stuck on his stomach. He slightly frowned but it still didn't etch a pained expression on his cold face.
The smirked of the Demon of Lust tightened as he was irritated from the expressionless face of the Demon Prince. But in spite of that, he was successful of dealing a fatal blow to the butler.
Art's attack started to slow down as Drysdale was able to land another attack on him.
He appeared behind the butler and kicked his knees behind which made Art dropped down to the ground. He was kneeling as blood continued to taint his clothes.
The silvery pink haired girl was assisting Chi and Ulric for escape as she knew the way out but she suddenly stopped when she felt a punch to her stomach. It was just a dull ache but she knew that it wouldn't be like that in the case of Art.
Danger bells rang in her mind.
"Chi, you may go first. Just follow this path."
Chun decided to come back and help her butler as she was aware that Art was in danger. But the hold of the young missus halted her.
Chi wouldn't allow her to go back there. It was dangerous.
"No. Let's escape together!"

(FRIENDLY REMINDER;

TWO CHAPTERS THAT AREN'T AN UPDATE:
- AFTER CHAPTER 100 (ARC 3)
- AFTER CHAPTER 188.4 (ARC 4)

IF YOU ARE CURIOUS WHY DID THE AUTHOR NOT DELETE THOSE TWO? THE REASON IS SIMPLE, IT CANNOT BE DELETED IF A CHAPTER IS PART OF THE LOCKED CHAPTERS/PREMIUM CHAPTERS. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE CHAPTER IS ON THE 100 AND ABOVE CHAPTERS, IT WILL STATE THAT IT CANNOT EXCEED 100 WORDS FOR DELETION SO IT CANNOT BE REVISED. I JUST REVISED THE EARLIER CHAPTERS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING! ENJOY! THIS IS MY FIRST EVER NOVEL. )

Xanxia, a diverse realm divided into ten continents, in which the continents had their own varying cultures, traditions, and advancement. In the farther north hailed the top revolutionary chefs, in the west were closed off species existed, in the south where intellective students were known, in the farther east where blood and war breeds - and finally, at the center where the smallest continent located was a girl in male clothing lived.

Chun Shuho, an androgynous beauty who could attract 'bees and butterflies' around the place was born to hide her true gender due to an oracle. Because of her lost memories from five years ago, she decided to travel on the surrounding continents to retrieve her scattered, fragmented memories. 

Together with her was the mysterious butler that was not only a former prince of the demons but he had many secrets hidden behind. 

And because of a fated event, she encountered Zero, an existence that defied logic was somehow connected to her due to an extinct bloodline.

As she journeyed on, a chase between time and space brought her back to the past and led her to the future which made her discover the secrets of her identity and what was her true purpose.
