Please read the contents in order and let's discuss this topic civilly.

After the Goddess Ceres asked Quiang Shen to help the Gods to eliminate the curse of fate, she said goodbye to him and disappeared completely causing Zhen Lin to collapse on the ground. 

When Qiang Shen brought Zhen Lin out of the space where the Goddess was, he waited while she regained consciousness and began to cultivate, now with two natural Daos her cultivation level went up to the fourth level of the third realism and if he could fully understand the Dao of the Wind could rise to the fifth level.

Zhen Lin woke up 2 days after Qiang Shen met with the Goddess Ceres and saw that Qiang Shen was completely concentrated doing meditation, while she thought about doing something to eat, saw that there was a backpack and inside there were food rations. At first she doubted whether to eat that food or not, but her hunger was more than her self control so decided that later she would pay for that food.

After having finished eating, she began to feel like a mysterious energy was gathering in Qiang Shen but she did not know what it was and without realizing it, she was looking at the face of the young man in front of her, more and more mysterious, more and more captivating, it was as if the world itself was dancing with him.

LAfter watching the young man, Zhen Lin saw that Qiang Shen was beginning to open her eyes, and when she saw him, she saw a turquoise phantom disappear in her eyes. Qiang Shen had advanced in his understanding of the Dao of the Wind.

After leaving the cave, they both decided to return to Beijin, Qiang Shen would have wanted to go back to the temple first, but with the relic sealed inside the parchment, they needed the help of an invoking magician, so when they managed to invoke the relic, Qiang Shen could return it to the temple.

During the return trip there was no problem, the people in black had already left Mt. Heng and to prevent something from happening to her, Qiang Shen returned with Zhen Lin and spent the rest of the holidays training his friends and to his family, he made little Xun begin to practice the first realism completely and taught him to feel the spiritual energy of the planet.

When they were in the middle of October, Qiang Shen was training with Jiang Chen, the latter had already mastered all level 1 spells in fire magic and was beginning with the understanding of other elements, he decided his way and chose the magic of the earth and he realized that dividing his mana into 2 elements was extremely difficult. While Qiang Shen instructed Jiang Chen, his home phone started ringing.

"Hello?" Mama Qiang replied, "Good afternoon Mrs. That is the recidence of someone who responds in the name of Qiang Shen, Qiang of strong and Shen of spirit" said the voice that came from the phone. "Sorry, who are you?" Mama Qiang asked with suspicion, "My apologies, ma'am, a few weeks ago we received a letter from a person with the name of Qiang Shen and he gave us this contact information, this responds for the title of Liang Ba Jian" said the man on the phone . Mama Qiang did not understand what that man was saying, but as she mentioned that her son had contacted them, she decided to take the call.

"Hello?" Qiang Shen said on the phone, "is the person answering by the name of Qiang Shen?" said the man on the phone, "who wants to know?" "This is the vice master of the sect [Celestial Edge], we recently received a letter with this contact number and the content of the letter is confidential, we can only discuss it with the person who wrote it."

Jiang Shen did not know what feelings he had at that moment. According to his memoirs, when the cultivator cults realized the resurrection of Lilith's children, it was too late. He wanted to tell them everything he knew, but he was not sure if they would believe him, or if there was a spy among those who knew his information.

"Hi, are you still there?" Liang Ba Jian said, "hey! Oh, excuse me, this is Qiang Shen," he replied. "Oh, it sounds a little younger than we imagine" replied Liang Ba Jian. "With regard to the letter we received, we would like to know what you are referring to, if you know what that message really means," he said in a serious voice. "What I am going to tell you is strictly confidential, it is necessary that you report it to the master of your sect," Qiang Shen began, "do not ask how I know this information, I just need that when your sect master comes out of his solitary training he let her know, if her teacher does not plan on leaving in a long time, take the necessary steps and, if necessary, send requests to all the Huaxia sects for a joint conference. "

When he listened to the last part, Liang Ba Jian exploded with anger, "a conference with all the Huaxia cultivators' sects is that you have gone mad?" He yelled on the phone. "Listen to what I have to say," Qiang Shen replied, "I recently returned from training from Mount Heng in Shanxi Province, there I met a group of cultivators who were followers of the God of Calamity, apparently they stole the treasure of the Hanging Temple to weaken the spiritual pillars of the spiritual seal in Huaxia, apparently the spiritual pillar is being held by the temple priests, but if they do not recover it the spiritual center of Mount Heng will be destroyed."

After Qiang Shen finished telling Liang Ba Jian, both agreed that it is necessary to send this news to the cultivator sects in Huaxia and Qiang Shen convinced him to tell him when and where the meeting would take place. The information that he had just received was enormous, if what the young man had just told him was true, then it was necessary to inform all the sects and organizations of cultivators and magicians throughout the world. Before ending the call, Qiang Shen gave him one last warning. "Liang Ba Jian, there is something I need to warn you, members of the wizarding community are followers of the God of Calamity, among the thieves of the Hanging Temple, there were elemental magicians with them so we should refrain from notifying the wizards in Huaxia until let's not get an answer "he said while suspecting what Liang Ba Jian was thinking.

After warning Liang Ba Jian, Qiang Shen ended his call leaving Liang Ba Jian completely shocked. After the call ended, Liang Ba Jian went directly to meet with the other teachers of the sect.

Qiang Shen ended his call and kept thinking. "At last I was able to pass the first obstacle, now when the conference is over, I have to convince them to increase the number of disciples." The traitors must be eliminated to prevent the fateful day from happening "he thought.

In a destroyed world where humanity is on the verge of extinction, a survivor uses a spell combining the magic of different civilizations to return to its past and prevent the end of the world ... or at least, give humanity the weapons to be able to survive.

"Panda...Inc?" Jin accidentally blurted out, and Ke Loong sniggered at the name.
"Sounds too generic. That is so unlike you Jin. Get something more bombastic or more eye catching, especially for the younger generations. Besides, getting another name will also be easier to identify. There's already loads of panda named companies in the world." Ke Loong suggested and to prove his point, he did a quick search and it revealed various company names such as Panda Express, Panda Logistics, Panda Trash Recycling.
"In my opinion, you could just go with Pandamonium Inc. Not only is the name not taken yet, but it sounds grand, mysterious and let's not forget that you have an established base of customers already using that app. On top of that, you easily set it up to look that it belongs to the clan who's actually backing you."
"That's a rather good idea, but I'll stick to just my store for now. I have too much on my plate to create a new company." Jin admitted with a heavy heart.
"But, you liked the idea of Pandamonium, right?" Ke Loong asked, and Jin nodded his head.
"Well, then inform me if you change your mind and need help setting it up... because as the first act of our partnership, I've taken the liberty and bought the right to the name Pandamonium Inc." Ke Loong was already typing furiously on his phone to tell his secretary to secure the new company name as soon as possible. Jin was surprised by the gesture and thanked him for it. Ke Loong merely said it was recompensation for the sudden test he made Jin took. 

"I'll happily pass on to you when you feel ready unless you decide on something else. Sooo, what are we going to do about that police and military movement? From what I know, they plan to make at least 50% of the police force in Shenzhen participate. All their best people from the various districts and on top of that the bulk of the military. That will be at least a few thousand people using the teleportation device." Ke Loong explained the scenario. "Not to mention, we need to place an exit portal device too."
"Don't they have border guards along with their city's police as well? If they need to involve police and the national guard from another state, then it clearly means that the threat is more severe than we were led to believe." Jin deduced the need to use their portal devices.
"Besides, it does not make any real sense that they want to use our portals when they have only seen you using it once. Seriously, what would they have done without this technology? It's kind of hard to believe that they put so much trust in us." Jin complained.
Ke Loong took out his smartphone again to give his partner the full picture. Aside from the live demonstration, he also showed him videos of groups of his research people doing experiments with the portal devices.
The experiment proved a steady increase in the number of people being teleported to know the extended usage of the portal device and those people knew what they were getting into. (Ke Loong fail to mention, there was huge compensation if an accident happened to them during the research.)
Nonetheless, the video showed that they were very successful in transporting a massive amount of people and also included the use of portals to move large objects without a hinge. Jin obviously knew all of this since it was already proven by the Orc-Goblin War, but he pretended to be amazed by it.
Regardless, The last part of the experiment was what amazed the officials the most. "You are right, they don't just need it as an easy way to transport people. What they really want to use it for in this demonstration is to bring in the tanks and other transports via the portal." Ke Loong wrapped up the video viewing and subsequently showed him another document on his phone.
"It will save them a lot of trouble and most importantly allow them to do this in secret without the public finding out what's really going on. Besides, Shenzhen is also the home of the elite leopard tank divisions. They cannot exactly move those armoured tanks through the cities. Otherwise, they might as well go directly to all those reporters and secret informers admitting what something big was going on." Ke Loong was a bit hesitant at first, but the more he spoke, the more he shared than what he might have supposed to. However, since they were now equal partners, he believed Jin had a right to know all of that as well.
"Still, it is not much of a time sensitive issue considering they gave you a deadline for it. Else, you will be crawling to me for the activation key, or I don't know, sending a massive gang of triad members to my store." Jin replied, and Ke Loong laughed.
"Yeah. Right now, the most crucial part for them is to get their vehicles and supplies safe and sound to the target location. Needless to say, such a big 'secret' operation also presents a stressful amount of logistical hell to them and us."
"They should be happy as long as we can technically teleport them from their base to the place they want to reinforce, right? Why then bother coming to the Tree Mall if they want secrecy on their part? Why use my dungeon as a poor excuse for a training exercise. Ever since I learned about their hidden plot, this part did not make any sense to me."
"Ah, that is most likely because of me. I told them that the police and military groups should convene here to use the portals. It's meant to be another layer to prevent detection and a way to attract more people to know about this place. Basically, if those buff guys know that a superbly good dungeon supplier exists here, all the more they would want to come here to train, don't you agree?" Ke Loong had pure intentions to send some business Jin's way. After all, if he prospers, Sea Mesh's CEO would indirectly rise up the ranks too.
"Hmm, if that's the case...I think we should split things up." Jin decided as he too did not want too much attention from the media once this particular thing kicked in.
"How so?"
"I suggest procuring large container trucks that will host the Portal instance and send a few of those trucks to various military bases or police quarters. That way they can send their tanks, trucks, vans or whatever to the location they need. We can also send the trucks up north and not have to be on site to oversee the devices."
"Ahh! I see! That is indeed a good idea, and with the dungeon instances, you can regulate the portal devices without being on site. Also, I am assuming you will be remotely operating those instances?" Ke Loong asked with an agenda in mind. He knew that remote operation of dungeon instances was made possible at least with his Sea Mesh dungeon instance technology.
But upon learning that Jin had superior tech than his, Ke Loong could not help but get curious about the capability of the dungeon instances this particular supplier could do. He once had his Chief Engineer Bo Ze personally make a field trip with a group of instance technologists to experience Jin's instances.
They were beyond shocked. Words were not able to come out of their mouths. Their instance technologists and even Bo Ze were crunching the numbers hard. If it was hardware, they already had the latest in the world, and yet they could not achieve such realism.
Thus they concluded that Jin had a personal team of technologists that were capable of creating an instance engine which could be optimised so bloody well that it created such realism to life. Some of the instance technologists even commented that they could possibly be in the world's first real time alternate reality.
"Hmm, that should not be a problem, but I apologise in advance if I say that when I create those portal instances, I will need some secrecy on my part. Also please make sure to tell them that this is a mid range portable prototype and if they ask, no I do not plan to make them long range any time soon." Jin kindly asked for permission to keep his copyrighted technology to himself, despite knowing that Ke Loong had already boasted on the 'China to Germany' portal advertising gimmick.
While Ke Loong did not mind, he did feel a slight bit of pity that he could not see the creation of the dungeon instance. "Whatever it is, I believe we have somehow solved a part of the problem. All that's left is to coordinate with the police and military. But do not worry about that, I will let my human resource team assign some people to do that for us. You just concentrate on getting those trucks, unless you need me to procure them too?"
"You do not have to worry. I'll have my own sources getting those trucks On my side, I see if I can get hold of Tiger Lord Yuan Ba to discuss on the intricacies since he personally requested this from me too." Jin smiled, and they eventually agreed to get it down by the end of next week since Jin said that he would be swamped for the next few days.
While Ke Loong did query about it, Jin could only reveal that he would give the Sea Mesh company some special privileges in that particular instance he was about to 'create'. Jin was tight lipped about any other information regarding that, even after Ke Loong tried to give some monetary incentives.
"Sigh, very well. Sometimes I do enjoy the surprises you throw out, so I shall be looking forward to it." Ke Loong smiled as they continued their dinner.


In a modern world where cultivators need a place to cultivate or vent their boredom, there are private businesses that set up instance dungeons with the aid of technology and cultivation magic to enable cultivators to train and commoners to experience the life of cultivation. They are called dungeon suppliers.

Xie Jin's one and only dream was to be a dungeon supplier and when his only relative passed away, the relative's inheritance gave him a plot of land and surprisingly, a 'System' Module which the relative had previously used. 

With the help of the system, Xie Jin decided to pursue his dream of becoming the number one dungeon supplier.

Parallel World had five basic stats: Endurance, Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Spirit. Five stat points were awarded for every level gained. Without any hesitation, Gu Fei poured all his stat points into Agility. A sense of elation filled his heart when he felt that he could now throw his punches and kicks much faster than before. Not only could he regain his usual capability if this continued, he could probably even reach speeds his real self could never attain, given that this was a game. Though, Gu Fei had no intentions of becoming a deviant like that; just reaching his real self's standard would do. Next, he planned to pour the rest of his stat points into Strength, so he could have the might he had in reality. He was just too weak right now. Gu Fei clenched his fist with all that in mind.
Speaking of MMORPGs, it was expected to loot the corpses of monsters after they were beaten. With his stat points distributed, Gu Fei began to search through the six bodies. He obtained two small carving knives and six money pouches after some time, each possessing a few dozen copper coins. It was impossible for monsters like these to be rich. Gu Fei stored all the coins into his money pouch. He lifted up his mage robe and slotted the two knives by his waist after scraping off the rust.
For the sake of realism, the game had no job restrictions with regard to equipment. Some only possessed stat requirements, mostly falling under Strength. Obviously, anyone could use basic weapons that had no stat requirements like these knives.
Putting everything away, Gu Fei turned and walked toward another hill.
There was another campfire with six NPCs ahead. However, before Gu Fei could even identify if they were similar to the six from before, the system issued an announcement. [Dear players, the game shall be disconnecting in ten seconds. Please be prepared to go offline. 10, 9, 8….]
The game disconnected after the countdown ended. Gu Fei returned to reality as the virtual scene faded before his eyes.
What happened? Gu Fei muttered in his heart as he connected to the game's official website.
The developers and administrators of Parallel World currently sat together. They were holding an emergency meeting at night to discuss the various problems that the beta testing had revealed on its first day.
In order to maintain a certain level of mysteriousness for the world's first VRMMORPG, Parallel World had been developed in secrecy. It was only announced in closed beta where it generated hype. The internal testing was all done by staff; everyone mainly focused on the characters, quests, skills, equipment, and so on – all important aspects of a typical MMORPG. However, the first day of beta testing today had already uncovered several major issues, almost all of which were unacceptable because of the full-immersion experience that the virtual-reality technology provided.
First of all, the monsters in the beginner-level maps were just too adorable as mentioned by the players on the game's feedback channels. Players complained about this aspect the most. All the female players were absolutely dismayed by this; the male players also expressed dissatisfaction due to their fear of being despised by the opposite sex if they attacked the cute little monsters.
This issue could be technically fixed forcefully along with the repetitiveness and simplicity of the NPCs, structures, and landscapes in the game. The really troublesome problems were the ones caused by the players.
Incidents of violence occurred repeatedly in the half a day that the game was up, and the GMs were rather incapable of preventing them from happening. Since the immersion system formed the core of the virtual-reality game, these violent incidents challenged the basic framework of the game and could not be solved through simple technical modifications. After repeated examination of the issue, they decided to include this type of bouts into the PvP setting and to further raise the PvP protection range to level 10. They could only wait and see if this sort of PvP would lead to situations where one hand casted skills while the other attempted a dirty sneak attack.
"This is good! Realistic, they say! Hah, virtual reality gaming needs to be realistic. This is exactly what we wanted," said one of the top executives at the meeting in an attempt to comfort everyone.
However, the next problem was something truly immoral that could not be covered up using the excuse of 'realism' – the sexual assaults on female players.
Even the staff did not expect that the virtual technology would expose the darker side of gamers in such a thorough fashion. However, the company could not simply remove the sexual aspects of the game, since full immersion existed as a complete system. Moreover, the existence of sexualized content was actually Parallel World's hidden selling point, and the senior executives would not allow it to be removed completely.
Their final decision was to design a system that required the consent of both parties. It did end up stumping the technical department, however. Imagine a romantic environment where lovers were just about to take the next step together, and then a prompt box popped up with a ding. [Player X would like to invite you to have sex. Do you accept?] Even if they selected [Yes], the originally romantic atmosphere would deteriorate to a [No]...
In addition, how would they control the degree of the sexualized content? Would they control just the act itself? What about kissing then? And groping? When someone proposed the particular question in a hypothetical prompt box [Player X is ready to grope you. Do you accept?] everyone at the meeting facepalmed.
In the end, the big boss made a decision, "No matter the case, let's create the system first. We can make necessary adjustments based on the players' reactions and comments."
The meeting ended after discussing a few other issues. All the game departments immediately threw themselves into the emergency work. The game would undergo a complete overhaul after being operational for just half a day. This was definitely a first in the history of the gaming world. Fortunately, they could use the excuse that they were inexperienced as this was the first time virtual reality technology had ever been implemented on such a scale. Nonetheless, they were under great pressure without a doubt.
The boss nodded his head with satisfaction as he watched everyone leave in a hurry. Only one person remained seated as he stared at the boss with a cheeky smile.
Only after all had left did the boss ask, "Xiaowu, do you have anything else to say?"
"Boss really does know me well!" The person called Xiaowu stood up and approached the boss, casually grabbing a seat nearby.
"Speak." The boss gazed at him. Ye Xiaowu was a member of the R&D Department and among the core members of the overall production team.
"Yup! I saw something today that made me feel it would pose some problems in the game," Xiaowu said.
"Oh?"
"Because the game is fully immersive, some people are able to bring the abilities of their occupation in reality into the game. With this natural advantage over the rest, it would be rather detrimental toward the notion of a balanced game that we are pursuing," said Xiaowu.
"What sort of abilities can affect the game?" the boss asked.
"For example, kung fu!"
"Kung fu?"
Xiaowu nodded confidently, "Today, in the game, I met someone who simultaneously defeated three Knights with just his bare hands despite being a Mage. He must be a kung-fu practitioner in my opinion."
"There're really people like that?" the boss asked with a frown.
Xiaowu nodded, "Just think about it. Policemen, soldiers, martial artists, boxers, and so on – all these people could create an imbalance in the game!"
"Then, what do we do? We can't possibly prevent people from playing the game just because of their occupation," the boss asked.
"That can't be helped," Xiaowu shook his head.
The boss laughed instead, "If there's no solution, you won't stay behind to tell me all this."
Xiaowu began to laugh as well, "It's just that I got an epiphany from someone like that."
"Go on."
"In traditional MMOs, everything revolves around battle. But now that we have virtual reality, we should expand our scope of development and enhance the other systems besides the combat aspect. We can let those people with skills in life bring in their expertise as well. This way, there would be some sort of balance in the game at the very least," Xiaowu said.
"Saying it is easy, but developing that idea is not," the boss said.
"It's worth trying!"
"Alright. Come up with a detailed plan and I'll mention it in the next meeting," the boss gave him the go-signal.
"Okay!" Xiaowu felt elated, "I'll be leaving, then."
"Wait!" the boss stopped him, "I say, why did you enter the game? Don't you know the rules in the gaming industry? As a member of this company, you're not allowed to enter our games. Some stricter companies don't even let their relatives do so!"
"I've never agreed to that point. We made the games, so we obviously love the games. Why exactly should I lose my right to play? Don't worry. I am a scrupulous gaming employee. In the game, I am just your average player," Xiaowu said.
"Given your knowledge of the game, can you really stay as an average player?" the boss asked.
"Don't worry. I won't touch a single of those hidden parts," Xiaowu promised.
"I'll get someone to monitor you. What's your in-game name?" the boss asked.
"Fleeting Smile," Xiaowu smiled as he left the meeting room.


He is a great fighter in real life, but he is mistakenly assigned a "Mage" job class in a virtual reality game! He is someone who uses power to conquer power, so he makes the most out of the mistake and transforms into a fierce Mage, versed in close combat, in the blink of an eye! By perfectly combining strength and spells, he uncovers a new path of gaming!

Fireball? Chain Lightning? Frost Mirror… Wait just a minute; I’ve come to practice kung fu! Spells have nothing to do with me! What’s that? I’m a Mage? Oh, right! I am a Mage indeed. But… Are you certain I’m one? Alright… Feel the might of my saber! My sword! My hidden weapons! What? You’re saying I’m no Mage now? Let me prove it to you if you don’t believe me! But even if you believe me, I will still show you just how unstoppable a Mage who knows kung fu can be!

"Where are we going?"
Elise asked Bin just after they separated from both of their masters. Jasmine wasn't in a good mood after what happened in the training ground, it seemed that Joseph's humiliation if it can even be called that, shifted her already unstable mood. Fortunately, Bin wasn't the source of the problem, and no matter how arrogant and annoying she was, she didn't say anything to Elise, at least nothing infuriating.
"I told you before. I know two people who can help us study the infection. One is a world-famous diagnostician and the other is a genius in the practical medical field, moreover, they're sisters and I do trust the younger one, she helped me in more than one occasion." 
Even after hearing that, the masked girl wasn't that convinced. She grumbled and retorted,
"Every scientist in the facility is considered a genius in their own field but even they couldn't find a cure. You must know that a cure will definitely help them a lot and decrease their subject and resource losses."
"Anyway, you can tell them what you know. Your condition is better than mine so there's a chance for recovery."
Hearing this, Elise eyed him for a couple of breaths before adding, "That's awfully optimistic coming from you."
"It's not optimism but realism. My body is on the verge of breaking down but yours is somewhat stable and can use magic, which means it can receive Mana, including the healing of Marita."
A bit surprised, Elise raised a brow and said back.
"You know of Marita?"
The young man nodded his head and faintly smiled while replying. "I've actually met her once. Dr. Galen secretly brought her to M-nation but requested she tries her miraculous healing on me but the result was disappointing."
"Disappointing? How so?"
"The healing, which many say can even restore limbs, had no effect whatsoever on my body. The white light entered my body then was converted back to Mana."
Bin let out a sigh as he signaled Elise to follow after him. He pushed the old entrance doors of Ann's laboratory and entered, the medicinal aroma assaulted his nose and the cool and cold interior air refreshed him a bit.
…
Scarlet wasn't here, only her short bespectacled little sister was in the laboratory, engrossed in her work, as usual. She didn't notice Bin and only raised her head when she heard incoming footsteps.
The girl had large dark circles under eyes, an indication of a serious lack of sleep. Although only one day passed, she looked thinner and very tired, making Bin feel a bit guilty.
"Anything wron-"
Ann didn't finish talking as she noticed a masked girl follow right after Bin. She raised her guard and cautiously looked at Elise, feeling a bit nervous, after all, the traumatic events of that night were still engraved in her mind.
"I didn't mean to bring an uninvited guest but I thought her presence might greatly help you."
Bin uttered those words then signaled for Elise to remove her mask, which she did.
At first, Ann was confused but what she got a look at the exposed face of Elise, she was flabbergasted. Her eyes would continuously jump from the brother to the sister then vice-versa, she didn't even notice her half-open mouth.
"Yes, she's my twin sister. Elise."
Bin introduced her then explained.
"I won't explain the circumstances but she's got the same sickness, ah, it's actually an infection. Anyway, her condition is better than mine and maybe she can help a bit."
It was one surprise after another, the female doctor collected her thoughts, pressed her palm against her forehead as she pondered for one full minute.
After processing what was said, she lightly clapped her hands once and said,
"Alright, let's totally forget that you brought a twin sister out of nowhere and focus on her sickness."
She motioned for Elise to sit on the bed then looked at Bin.
"You said it's an infection? Can you elaborate?"
The youth shrugged his shoulders, turned around and headed toward the exit while saying,
"I'll let her fill you with the details."
…
Bin was going to stay with Elise but Melissa called him, saying that she needs him to do something. Of course, now that he's her servant, he can't refuse and won't as the pay was promised to be very satisfactory.
He didn't know what kind of job he needs to do but it's definitely not easy, it must involve a bit of fighting or even killing, or so thought Bin.
The youth took a cab and arrived at Melissa's villa in thirty minutes, finding her sweetly smiling at him.
"It didn't take long for you to need my help."
Melissa giggled and walked to the living room, brushing her golden hair to the back and picking up the documents scattered all over the table.
"It won't be a difficult task, I promise. Furthermore, there will be others assisting you."
"The four from last time?"
"No, others… who are not as trustworthy, which is why I called for you."
Bin sat on the other end of the couch, crossed his arms, and leaned his back against the leather and comfortable furniture.
"So, what's it about exactly?"
"Your job is to steal some documents."
Hearing this, Bin chuckled and retorted, "Well, at least you're not sugar-coating it." He picked an apple and took a large bite before continuing,
"I don't mind stealing but I won't kill anyone."
"You won't need to. Your 'associates' will clear the targets, you just need to secure the documents."
Melissa's face turned serious as she repeated, "Remember this… you MUST get them yourself and give them to no none but I."
"That sounds awfully unsettling." He pondered for a couple of breaths before adding, "Don't tell me that the people coming with me will try to get the documents too?"
"I'm not sure but even if they try to take it from you, don't let them!"
"Huh 'don't let them'.. How am I supposed to do that?"
The girl grinned and said back. "From what I heard, you're good with guns so just shoot their knees or something. I'm not forcing you to kill but don't lose the documents."
Bin nodded his head and asked
"Now, let us discuss my pay."
"Come back with the documents and then you can name any price."
She lightly laughed and left for some time, soon returning with Secretary Park, who was dragging a large familiar black bag filled with all kinds of weapons and clothes.

Sometimes...you can cry until there's nothing wet in you. You can scream and curse to where your throat rebels and ruptures. You can pray, all you want, to whatever god you think will listen. And, still, it makes no difference.

This is the story of a sick 19-year-old young man called Bin, who tasted despair ever since he was young. He became numb to the cruelty and unfairness of life yet he still lives, hoping that his little sister will live a life much better than his own. With not much time left to live due to his illness, Bin tries his best to gain some money for his sister before he leaves this godforsaken world.

It all began with a coincidental meeting... two fates intertwined together, one was a poor and dying youngster and the other was a spoiled and childish girl.

" You okay? " I ask Joana who sit and lean to the walls. We escaped the Wyvern feast but Joana condition is not good. A bruise on her left legs. We now at some wrecked restaurant maybe bar by some name Av*nti right at the intersection. The building split apart into two by the earthquake and fortunately, it does not collapse.
" Hurt a bit, " Joana said.
" Mommy, it's hurt? " Jean almost crying see her mothers in that state.
" It's okay sweethearts, I'm supermom after all " 
" Wait for a minute, I try to search some ice " I search everything in the bar. I found the ice, not much but its better than nothing and some wine but,... left the wine part, a child here. I found some clothes too, a chef uniform. I take off my hip-hop clothes and the necklace then put the chef uniform and back to Joana. 
" Here press on it "
" Let me, let me " Jean eagerly want to help her mother. she presses the ice to Joana wounds slowly.
" I-I-It h-hur-rt mom? " Fear and cuteness mix into one. 
" Whoa... I'm better now " Joana said with a smile.
" Hihihi " 
" I Look at the outside first. Take care of your mothers Jean okay "
" Okay, I have Eve here to help me " The Barbie sit on Joana laps. I walk to the part of the split right beside the front door. Loom at the surrounding and the sky. Like a ghost town, it's completely empty. Abandoned cars and a flock of Wyvern still searching for prey. We have no safe place to run and the tea bastard doesn't come out when I call him numerous times. I'm in the dark now with my two companions and the sun already at the peak. 

" Maybe we must stay here first,... recover " I back again and sit on the chair. Joana looks at me and nod. 
" Come here, Jean " Jean pick up Eve then lean to her mother while hugging Eve.
" Thank you," she said. I answered with a smile. 

Hard day ever. My muscle on my legs aches so much. Run to the north and to the south non-stop without rest. I stretch my legs and look at the ceiling. Now earth has a new species categorize, Monster and maybe a new path of genre, Fantasy-Realism. 

I want to smoke.

Smoke and Alcohol is the best things to reduce my stress. I go to the back, pick up a glass, pour the wine and drink. Wow... it's hard but nice. Take sip again, again, and again, just stop before getting drunk. I took out everything available to eat in the freezer. When I back, The duo mother and daughter sleep peacefully. I put the food beside them and sit again, stretch my legs and watching the ceiling again. slowly my eyes became hard to open. I'm tired and let the sleepness devour me.

" Human " Hmmm...
" The first stage begins " I open my eyes and realized that I back to the Parliament of the judge, Or I say The Demon Parliament. 
" Yo " Beside me Dantalian still in his iron armour. 
" What is happening? " I ask Dantalian.
" Some discuss " he answers with his nothing goes personality. Then a man walks and stops right at the front of me. Still, I can't see the face but I know his front body facing me.
" The Shaker is the sign of the end " The Shaker? earthquake?
" The Torturer came down one by one " Torturer? Ah... the monster.
" The night that brings the hope " The night what? Hope?
" Gather the blood of our kind, the life of our kind, the rise of the kingdom of violence " Blood? Lifeless? Violence?
" The key of the world " Key?
" And the successor of my thrones " Successor? Me? 
" What are you trying to say? " I ask the faceless man.
" When All of them it's being accomplished, The End will End, create another beginning, create another hope while waiting for the end " The faceless man back to his seat again.

" Human, Remember that words " The f*ck!!!
" HEY !!!! What- " Before I try, I back again watching the ceiling. I look at the surrounded and found Dantalian sit on the edge of the room. I look at the duo that still sleeps and walks to him. 
" Cofee? "
" Cut the crap " He still on his armour with a coffee on his hand. I sit beside him.
" What's that all about? " I ask him. he took a sip before answers my question.
" Prophecy " 
" That? Really? Wait, I mean- It's real " He cut my words. 
" TBH, I don't believe something like that," I said.
" Well,... He is the only one who can see the future though he is a complicated bastard "
" Yeah like you " Sarcasm tone.
" Believe or not, it's your choice but I think you believe it and your face already said that " hey, I try to put a poker face how do you know that?
" so,... " I move my position and get closer to him.
" I try to wrap the things in my head and I remember you said ' make a contract with my fellow demon. what do you mean by that "
" 'The night that brings the hope' " he takes a sip of his coffee again and I had a confused face.
" Tonight, " He said.
" Now or later you would know so I give you a starter then " He erased the coffee and black chalk appear on right his hand.
" Tonight, right at zero a clock the god would gift this world hope. to be precisely a superhuman power " What the...
" Science are already pass the advance limit in gods eyes, with one touch,... boom a nation is gone and that is dangerous. Well, it's human nature to learn and advance then evolves "
" But we still on AI stage you know, not very advance " The AI, Artefact Intelligent.
" That is the bottom line, you know,... what human earth call this species... Ah,... Alien "
" I don't believe in Alien " I give my opinion.
" Well, now you must believe it. The species name is called Cris-crossicta? Cistaca ? Ummmm Forget it "
" What? " what the hell?
" I mean, I forget the name of the race, it's the complicated name but the race is too advance in science. There is also Sacigam. I know this species, they too advance in magic. these two race broke The Law of God. The forget named race create a new race named Tnegillenti and this race wipe out the forget named race then  start to travel the Galaxy and invade every planet with their machine, simple world is inter-galaxy invader, while the Sacigam Start to calling human from a different world with summoning magic, like a hero summoning or bring all of the class student or the victim of a hit and run by the mighty truck-Sama or accidentally killed by stupid gods, you must know its not gods who kill it or accidentally got hit but it's them who take a role as a fake god and kills the summoned one in the name of accident "

When I heard that, I speechless.

" Unbelievable "
" Right? This is my and my friend achievement  " Wicked said proudly.
" My achievement it's nothing comparing to you dad " 
" Well, You still at the first line of a race from your generation so keep fighting hahaha "
" I hate you, dad, " The two pair of son and dad laugh and bickering how high their achievement.
" Hahaha Before I forgot, Welcome to the tomb of Solomon King's "

Wallace was looking at the other body that has their eyes closed. The previous mysterious energy that was coated around this body has now gone somewhere or melted away.
He wasn't sure what exactly happened and he plans to ask the old man. Suddenly, the other Wallace opened his eyes and they locked their eyes with each other.
They seem to have different minds but they are connected mysteriously. The soul and spirit weren't just a breath of life but it also contains his memories.
"Amazing..."
He was about to celebrate their success but the two noticed that the doctor suddenly collapsed due to exhaustion. 
"Doctor!"
The new Wallace was still weakened and can't properly move so the other immediately helped the old man. 
"He just needed a rest... How about you?"
"Ahh... Mrm.. I think that... I'm slowly... getting strength..."
His voice was stuttering a bit as he was slowly feeling the familiar energy coming through his body. 
It felt like mana was starting to incorporate into his body but it was different.
He doesn't have the Astral Core with him or even the Arcane Baptism that further enhanced his body but this original body was approaching the peak of the human body. He has a better understanding of this body so he was sure that the energy running through it was foreign energy. 
"This... is mana..."
"You're no longer affected by Mana Suffocation, huh... What should I call you?"
The new Wallace took a deep breath before answering articulately.
"Well, I should be Wallace Heather and you are Wallace Ravencroft... Though I don't think it's appropriate to call each other with just the last name or full name..."
"That's true..."
"Then, just call me Ace... You wanted me to work with your social relationships and other work-related stuff, right?"
"Yeah, but your physique seems to be a bit more..."
"Fit? Well, you have been out of their sight most of the time. You barely appears to the public. It should be no problem to say that you've thought of building your muscles..."
Ace chuckled as he sits up. He looks at his hand for a moment before closing his eyes as he slowly shakes his head. It was like he was trying to feel out his current body.
"I think I'm good."
Wallace nodded as he let the doctor rest for some time. He immediately brought him to a room and lie him to a comfortable bed. 
"Avalon... Take good care of the doctor, he just needed some rest."
[ Affirmative. ] 
[ Congratulations on your success. You have broadened my horizon. ] 
A different feminine voice was suddenly heard after Avalon spoke. It was also using Avalon's speaker through the floating metal ball. This time, instead of red light coming out of it, it was glowing with green light.
"Veda?"
[ Correct. Now that there's more of you, I hope that you hasten the space fleet production. Just call me if you needed more help or money. Bye! ] 
"Urgh... Yeah... Bye..."
The lights have already turned red before he even answered. It means that it was now Avalon. He wasn't sure what happened between the two but he was sure that Veda doesn't mean any harm. If it does, it would've done so long ago with the power of information it possess throughout the whole continent.
He used Void Phase and appeared beside Ace and observed him for a bit.
Although he was prepared in this scenario, he still couldn't help but be amazed at the entire event. 
"Well, this lessens a lot of my burden... Let's have a commemorative photo, the two of us..."
"Seriously?"
"Yes..."

As Yumi was waiting for Wallace's return call, she went to discuss some matters to her superior. After all, she wasn't sure how long will she leave her post and she has important information to share. 
The place she went into was an orphanage. It was still within the Tanza City.
The home or the building was looking like a brand new because their previous home was destroyed due to the terrorist attack. Although it was renovated, signs of previous mess can still be seen. The large tree that was previously covering the house was now removed.
It was badly damaged because of an explosion and it may cause more accidents if they didn't remove it completely. 
Outside the premises, there was a large sign hanging to identify the place. 
"Galatea House."
She looked at the familiar sign and opened the gate. She saw some children tending the garden and some were playing around. Some of them came to greet her as she brought them some presents.
"Sister Yumi!"
"Whoa! Presents!"
"Haha! It has been a while. Here you go..."
"Will you be staying here tonight?" One of the kids asked. 
Yumi shakes her head but she smilingly replied.
"I'll stay before sunset... We can play later after I've talk to grandma Thea." 
She handled those kids very well as she went straight to the second floor of the house. 
"Mhm? Any problem with your mission?"
As soon as Yumi opened the room, an old lady with white long hair asked. She was wearing a monocle in her right eye as she flips some pages of a thick book. 
"Not really..."
"I heard that you were planning to avoid it and even plans to escape somewhere far away?"
"Escape? Me? Haha! I'm not sure where you heard those things but I'm not escaping the investigation happening at the Seed Holdings. Isn't it just some project involving some memory crystals? Tsk... I'll work on it once I'm back..."
"Very well... I trust you with your words..."
The old lady even chuckled seeing Yumi's reaction. It seems that she was just teasing the younger lady. 
"So, what made you come here?"
"Sigh~ I'm not sure... I just hope that this would help me to decide some things... You're one of the 24 survivors on that expedition, so I wanted to ask you... What did you really saw there?" 
On Yumi's right hand was a copy of the Prince's logbook that Wallace gave to her. She was holding it tightly as she waited for the old lady's answer. 
Although a part of her mind wanted to deny Wallace's claim about the realism of this notes, she couldn't help but gradually realize its authenticity after she carefully thought some clues and some unanswered questions she has about the history. 
Some questions like, who truly created the first gen of Mana Artifact and slowly improving it until Aeolia appeared in the history?
What was the origin of the Celestial Beings? Or in the first place, what are they? There was even a Celestial Fragment that has an unknown usage.
These were only few questions that doesn't have clear answers but if she considered that the notes were real. Then a lot of things would make sense.
Not only that... they have to quickly act as well. After all, the notes clearly states that the protective layer or the shield covering the entire planet may run out at anytime. 
'The actions of the three Grand Arcanists were also suspicious...' 
Yumi wanted to know the truth and learn as much as she can before her team would go to the northern continent and rescue her cousin.

Volume 1: Spaceship's Retrieval [ Completed ]
Volume 2: Going Back to Space [ will start on April 4 onwards - 1chap/day ]

*****

A planet that was not recorded in the database containing records of almost all human discoveries in thousands of years. This is where Wallace has to live and survive until he discover a way home. 

He was left with a damaged spaceship that can only be used as a shelter now. Equipped with his bio-armor, laser gun and other advanced technology equipment, he was confident that he can somehow survive in this world. But there is something here that is not existing in many galaxies that humans has conquered... magic.

Unfortunately for him, before he could explore the new world that resembles Earth, he died.

*******

Yes, the whole volume 1 was for the sake of retrieving the spaceship aside from world building, etc. 

There will be a lot of unanswered questions or missing information at the beginning but don't worry... everything is planned and will be revealed in later chapters.

Also, the first half of the first volume was inspired by 6 or so animes and 4 other novels. Good luck finding them. 
Thanks for reading!

       Lieutenant Commander Juan Gonzalez took another set of readings of the upcoming system and then moved back to the mid-section of the Kerkes, the small GIA ship that was basically a converted light cargo ship.  It only took a minute to make his way to the center compartment that served as the ship's mess, sick bay and conference room.  With the ship on autopilot, he was able to gather his entire team at the one table in the center.  Around the table clockwise from Juan was Simon Moore, a former specialist with the GIA who worked freelance for any intelligence agency that would hire him.  His specialties were weapons and Alien tactics.  Next was Dr. Frank Jensen, an advisor to military intelligence and an expert on alien cultures.  After him was Private Laura Beels, a medic fresh out of boot camp and still very wet behind the ears.  A little too young for Juan's taste, but a medic was required on all deep space missions, and he didn't have a seasoned one at the ready.  With their limited timetable he had to go with someone who could be quickly vetted and cleared.  Her youth and having never been off-world made Private Beel ideal.  Last was Lieutenant Julie Bass, their pilot, who had flown with Juan since flight school.  Her small stature and girl-next-door looks fooled most as she was one of the sharpest pilots Juan had ever flown with and as skilled at hand to hand combat as any man.
Juan dimmed the lights and switched on the holographic chart, which sparked, flickered and burned out.  He turned the lights back up and put his coffee cup back down on the table.  "I thought this tub was only supposed to look like a piece of crap?"
Simon Moore cocked his head and shrugged his shoulders as if it wasn't an unexpected result of company equipment and quipped, "When they go for realism they spare no expense."
Juan pulled out a tube and from it pulled out a roll of plastic nearly as large as the table and rolled it out.   With a couple of taps on it, a three-dimensional image appeared of a star chart and a positioning grid showing coordinates.  "Okay," he started. "This is a level three surveillance and reconnaissance op.  We will be following the trade routes through the Virgo nebula strings.  We'll stop off at Phelis Prime, the Groic Moon's III and IV and Debrose triad station.  Our cover story is that we are selling Terran spices and buying seed and samplings for agriculture expansion for a Terran colonist project.  This will give us plausibility to inquire from those we encounter if there are any reasons we should not venture into the Sa'larie Zones."
Simon nodded, "It's always the traders and merchants that know what's happening in the universe, long before the politicians.  Good call Skipper."
"Thank you, Mr. Moore, and its Gonzales or Commander, not Skipper, Understood?"
"Sure, no problem Boss."
Juan's eyes darted over at Julie.  She could tell he was frustrated by the lack of protocol found amongst civilians.  She gave him a look that indicated that he knew what he was getting into.  He took a breath and moved on.
"We will continue in as deep as we can until we have the info we need, then we will report back."
Frank leaned back on the metal stool that was an extension of the table and shook his head.  "With all due respect Sir, this is a fool's errand.  Command has more than enough evidence to know the Sa'larie won't stop at their old borders.  The politicians are just dragging their feet until the Sa'larie actually attack one of our worlds or colonies, so they don't get blamed for starting another war."
PTE Beels decided to speak up in defense of the politicians. "You can't blame them for being cautious.  The war lasted over 20 years at a cost of over 7 billion lives."
"With 500 million lost in the first year while we were trying to mobilize our forces to fight a war we should have seen coming, but refused to prepare for," Simon quickly came back at her.  He didn't like being lectured by a girl who was too young to remember anything about the war.

Juan put an end to the discussions with a look to Simon and then directed his comments to PTE Beels.  "I know that there are some politicians that have been saying in the media that the military is looking for any excuse to boost our budget and our reckless actions could cause the very war they want to avoid or something to that effect, right?" She didn't say a word, but the look on her face told him that he had hit the nail on the head. "The fact is PTE Beels; we are all veterans of the last war.  We put our lives on the line every day for years and watched our friends die right next to us.  They may not like the idea of another war, but it terrifies us."  Juan could see conflict and self-doubt on her face as she looked like a deer surrounded by hunters.  He sat down on one of the stools to give her some higher ground as she was still standing.  "The only thing that frightens us more than fighting another war is being unprepared for another attack." He gave her a chance for rebuttal, but she didn't take it.  She just looked down at her hands.  "This is your first deep space assignment, isn't it?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Look, a successful fact-finding mission is one that sees no combat.  So do your job, and I'll do mine, which is to get us home without a scratch.  Okay?"
"Yes, Sir."
Juan rolled up the plastic sheet and said, "Alright.  That's it for now.  We have about thirteen hours before our first stop, so get some rest and enjoy the downtime while we have it."
He headed up to the bridge which wasn't much more than a four-seat cockpit; two pilot seats up front and two computer stations that could be used for most ship functions from navigation to basic engineering.  Julie followed and secured the hatch behind her, giving them privacy.
"A little hard on the kid," she said as she stepped up behind his seat and put her hands on his shoulders.
"Maybe, but I don't need anyone on our team questioning our mission."
"Even me?"
Juan looked up at her with something of a stunned expression.  "You?"
"Don't worry Commander; I know my duty.  I just don't think we're going to find anything."
"Why?"
She rubbed the knot in his neck that always needed attention.  "We're looking for proof that a highly intelligent race is building an armada to wage war.  They have an entire galaxy to conceal their efforts in.  I just don't think we will find any proof until they are ready to show the rest of the universe."
"You're probably right.  But it doesn't mean we shouldn't try.  If we can find the proof, it can mean the difference in putting up a worthy defense or being conquered overnight.
The muscles in his neck and shoulders were tighter than she had ever felt them be before.  Their relationship had gradually morphed from best friends to lovers in such a gradual way that they had never discussed the change or what it meant.   It was something that was weighing on her mind, but it was never the right time to discuss it.  The right time might never come.  Truth was she didn't know for sure how she felt, if she was in love with him, or just comfortable.  Drama was the last thing either of them needed going into a mission; so she held her tongue and rubbed his shoulders as it was the one and only practical thing she could do just then.








Author:
Matthew O. Duncan is part of the resurgence of Old School Sci-fi.  His books are a mix of Military Sci-fi, Fantasy, Romance, and Mystery weaved together with non-stop action.  Matt started his writing career as a playwright. He won a number of awards and had his plays produced on local stages.  He put his pen down in the late ’90s but picked it up again in 2011.

O’Hara never wanted to be a hero. He was a combat pilot only because his skills made him the best and Earth needed men like him to fight the enemy amongst the stars. Living a life a service and duty, alone in a cockpit suited him well, but fate had other plans for him. Shot down over an alien planet he was saved by a beautiful and mysterious woman named Katreena. He soon learns that the world is populated by people who seemed to have been lost by time and controlled by stones that the people believe to be divine magic. Wanting only to return to his fleet, he discovers that he has more than a passing connection with the world’s people, a love that resurrects a heart long thought dead and a decisive battle to the war that followed him.

the group wanted to follow me so i walked to the boss area where elite tier wolves are lurking. with my current status, i can move anywhere as long as there are no slimes. soon they gave up.


although i wont be attacked by wolves and other monsters. theres a lot of limitations. first i cant mine ores or harvest herbs. i cant even pick up items that fell from players. im invincible but all i can do is to tour this virtual world.


well since ive got time to think about my situation. vr games have started 50 years ago, year 2120. the only difference is the realism level. it started at 30% until today's game with 95% realism.


over the decades more and more are becoming addicted to playing vr games. at this time 70% of the worlds population are playing vr games. thats why all corporations and even governments have invested in a vr game.


with all the attention to vr games over the years, many ordinary people like me have tried their luck in making money through new vr games. if not for the new world law* that made it impossible for a person without a diploma to sell anything in-game then i would have tried to become a pro-gamer years ago.

*world law - it started in the year 2143 when vr games have become a problem. kids dropped out of school and played games all day, making a living by selling some items. all governments have agreed to pass several laws that will be applicable to every country and kingdom.


i walked outside the wolves hunting area and just kept on walking without any particular direction on mind. the game is beautiful. with a 95% realism it feels like being transmigrated to another world. i never had the chance to appreciate its beauty before.


i walked for days ocassionally stopping to enjoy the view. sometimes i would simply sleep anywhere and no one would bother me. by the time i heard the system reminder of a forced logout for overstaying in the game, several days has passed. upon checking the time, theres still an hour before i finished the basic newbie survival challenge.


upon leaving the capsule, i ate instant noodles, took care of personal things and then slept for a couple of hours. when i woke up i checked the forums about the random pet reward. what i read surprised me.


the random pet reward upon not dying for ten days upon entering the game is garbage. it only gives slimes and tiny skeleton soldier. it looks like a 3 feet tall skeleton with a dagger. the bad part of it is that the experience gain of these pets are really low. plus they can only gain experience if they made the killing blow. the only good thing is that these pets sell for ten gold coins in any npc merchant.


almost everyone, except those weird people and those who likes slimes and skeletons, sold their pets. another reason they sold their pets is due to the fact that you can only have one pet in-game.


i logged in with the intension of selling the pet as soon as i got the reward. i totally forgot that im currently in a high level area several days from the nearest newbie village.


ding
congratulations for surviving for ten days.
rewards
1 gold coin received
random pet allocation
battle alchemist assistant slime received
1000 experience points received


battle alchemist assistant slime - slime that can absorb effects and grant it unto the owner or an item.


this is a lucky pet. i explored its capabilities and its wonderful. when i pour health potion on my pet slime it becomes able to heal instead of corrode using its acid. i tried placing an arrow in my slime after it absorbed a healing potion and it gave my arrow a healing effect.


what i liked the most about this slime is its potential to increase my strength. i allowed it to absorb a ring that grants a +1 to speed. then i ordered it to transfer the "+1 speed" to me. and my stat permanently increased by 1.



as long as i obtain many stat enhancing item then ill become invincible. of course its useless since i cant fight monsters for a few years while the penalty is active.

peter was a beta player in the newest virtual reality game. his plan is to take advantage of a few bugs he failed to report. that way he will gain lots and lots of money. what he didnt know is that each beta tester has a dedicated a.i. that is reviewing their every action. the a.i. has long since reported the bugs and the main a.i. has already fixed them before launching the game.
peter tried his best but he is only an average player who got lucky when he was picked as a beta tester. without the bugs he doesnt have any advantage that he can use to earn money.
having sold everything to invest in the game, he is pretty desperate and in a fit of drunken anger he emailed the owner of the game company with a pages of insults.
unfortunately for peter the owner has made a special code in the game. he owns an item that can make one player lose a level everytime he kills a monster. and he used this to peter's game character.
how can you ever hope to play the game  when you lose a level everytime you kill a monster?

In the year 2030, after the great plague, a company named ||The Artifex|| suddenly appeared and with it's Leader [AL] made an announcement.

 Then came the three legendary "crafts"of Artifex.

Firstly, the Legendary Deep Dive system console Arcadia, with it's nearly 90% of Realism. Implementing Sound, Touch, Smell, Taste, and Sight with an accuracy of 90%.
And a supplement chamber that is out of the world, due to it's efficiency and speed.

Secondly, a godlike substance known as Spiravita. Which gradually enchances the capabilities of the mortal body the more you use it. The substance is split into 5 tiers namely from highest to lowest S, A, B, C, and D. While the failure products are E. Although a failure, E rank supplements are still good for the body, as it enhances the stomach's metabolism. Although there can be a few mild side effects such as dizzyness and nausea. This Mainly happens due to the fact that the metabolism is out of control and sometimes it becomes weak and sometimes strong, and also the fact that due to it being an E rank, the nutrients and proteins provided are not much.

Thirdly, [Realms] the Heaven-sent game for all of humanity, after all the stress which the Plague has brought, the public needed an entertainment in which they can truely let loose of themselves. but where can they do this in such a Lawful world? This is where the game [Realms] comes in. With customizable everything and the hundreds of class combinations that can truely spice up the gameplay, It truely is the long lost Godly game searched by many of the Peak level Gamers out there.

After 5 years of success with the Arcadia system console. The company ||The Artifex|| made a prototype of a new deep dive system console called <Dadilaer> with the famed 100% Realism function. 

And with it's release, the Leader of the company named [AL] went into a coma due to getting into one.
