Sherlock Moriarty?
Sounds like a foreigner…
Moriarty… seems to be the professor in Holmes… Sherlock seems to be Holmes's first name… This detective is using a fake name, right? It has a style reminiscent of coming up with a name when creating a game avatar… Perhaps he isn't a foreigner…
I sense something from the ghost in the mirror and ask after some thought: 
"Who is he?
"Why does he want to protect me?"
At this moment, due to the other party's ability to communicate, my sense of fear has been greatly reduced.
I've become an Assassin. Isn't it normal for ghosts to exist in this world?
It isn't hard to accept something that goes against common sense!
Besides, it's not like I didn't sense something on the bus on the way home.
The blurry woman wearing a petite bonnet in the mirror replies in a flat voice, "Someone wants to harm you."
She didn't tell me who Sherlock Moriarty is. Why does he want to protect me… It looks like it's a secret. What is it that can't be said? Many thoughts flash through my mind.
Suddenly, I think of a possibility and blurt out, "That cult wants to harm me?
"Sherlock Moriarty is their archenemy?"
That makes sense!
Otherwise, I wouldn't believe that someone would send a female ghost to protect me for no reason, unless it's the police who serve the people.
The female ghost in the mirror falls silent for two seconds before nodding indiscernibly.
"You can put it that way."
At that moment, I feel a subtle change in her eyes, but I can't decipher what emotions are contained within them.
Under normal circumstances, a person without any training would more or less reveal their emotions in their eyes. This would help me understand their attitude.
But the entity right in front of me is a ghost.
More importantly, the things that can be discerned through the eyes most of the time are the more intense fluctuations in emotions or unconcealed emotions. Not only is the female ghost in the mirror blurry, but she also has a mosaic over her. Furthermore, her emotions are very mild, almost as though she's emotionless.
After pondering for a moment, I probe, "Which people around me are from the evil cult?"
The female ghost in a black dress opens her mouth.
"They…"
Her voice becomes increasingly ethereal as it turns weaker and weaker.
Following that, a fine layer of snow appears on the surface of the mirror, just like an old television that has its reception hampered.
The female ghost vanishes amidst the static.
This…
What happened?
I'm not afraid of ghosts anymore, so why did the ghost disappear instead?
Did something happen again?
I turn wary and look around, but everything's normal.
When I look back, the mirror has returned to its original state, reflecting my fearful and blank face.
Splash.
The water from the tap gushes out incessantly.
Unconsciously, I grab my wet towel and wash my face.
Nothing has changed.
At the same time, I don't sense anything unusual.
Yes, no matter what, I still have to brush my teeth… I force myself to stay calm.
Since things are already like this, what's there to worry about?
After brushing my teeth and wiping my mouth, I return to my room.
The moment I enter, I feel an indescribable feeling.
My eyes are drawn to my cell phone, which I have set on the computer table.
It seems to be the source of all the abnormalities.
Instinctively, I charge over, wanting to hurl the phone out of the window so it's far away from me.
However, it's very expensive. I changed it not too long ago… I don't know if there's something wrong with it… I'm already an Assassin, and there's the female ghost protecting me. What's there to be afraid of? I console myself, walk over, pick up my phone, and plaster my fingerprint on it.
After unlocking the screen, the first thing I see is a message:
'SleepingWithCorpses has added you.'
In the next second, my cell phone darkens suddenly, and the lights around me seem to be attracted by this bottomless pit. They are all thrown into the pitch-black darkness.
Before I can react, the faint light on my phone ripples, revealing a translucent face that's without any eyes, nose, or mouth.
"There's a ghost in your room."
The mouth of the face opens and closes, revealing a long and bright red tongue. There are five slender fingers at the tip of the tongue, and embedded on the two sides are rows of irregular sharp teeth.
Don't tell me you're not one too? I have the urge to give such a reply, but I hold myself back.
Recalling the message I just read, I ask with a slightly trembling voice, "Ma'am Da?"
Impressive!
She really is psychic and can control ghosts!
"Yes, I've already made some initial restrictions via the messenger. That ghost won't affect you tonight, and I won't have the chance to suck you dry." The translucent wobbles shook. "I'll come personally tomorrow morning to deal with it. Give me the address."
"Tomorrow morning? I have work to do." I am thrown into a dilemma.
CEO Huang wants me to pick up the VIP at the airport!
If I stand him up, I will lose my job!
"Work? Is your boss beautiful?" Madam Da asks through the translucent face.
"He's a guy," I point out the truth.
"You like men?" Madam Da asks without pause.
"How is that possible?" I deny it, amused and exasperated.
"Since that's not the case, why are you still in the mood for work even though you're haunted by ghosts? Or perhaps, you have a female colleague that you have a crush on? You can't skip a day of seeing her?" Madam Da scoffs.
"…Can't it be because I'm poor? If I don't work, who will take care of me?" I have a nagging feeling that I'm being led astray by Madam Da. The conversation is filled with logical errors.
Although I have some savings, it's not a lot, and I have to pay for the exorcism.
Of course, I'm in the mood to work because the female ghost hasn't shown any malice.
Madam Da's translucent face opens its mouth and says, "What about your family?"
"They aren't well-off," I answer frankly.
"Uh… how are your looks?" Madam Da asks another strange question.
"Average." I feel lost.
"Height?"
"A little over 1.7 meters."
"Strong?"
"Ordinary."
"How big?"
"Huh?"
"How big is that thing of yours?"
"Hey!"
"It's like this: I can introduce you to some part-time work. The other party consists of rich and idle mature ladies. They value young people very much. They're willing to provide the necessary help and become friends with mutual benefits. Do you want to consider them?" the translucent face rambles on.
"…Auntie, am I just going to give up on my hard work?" I roughly understand what the other party was talking about.
"As long as you understand." The translucent, terrifying face lets out a suspicious laugh.
"I don't plan on doing so," I say without hesitation.
I have my integrity!
Madam Da doesn't bother with the topic and instead says, "Then, when will you get off work tomorrow? Let's schedule an appointment."
"Nine in the evening." I include the possibility of working overtime.
"Alright, give me the address. I'll contact you on QQ when the time comes." Madam Da's translucent face yawns.
This lady's extraordinary performance has exceeded the limits of my knowledge, so I no longer have any doubts about her abilities. I immediately give her an address and ask, "Eh… Eh… How much will it cost?"
"The basic cost is 20,000 yuan. The price can go higher depending on the difficulty. If you can't afford it, you can consider the part-time job." Madam Da is rather direct.
I recall my savings and feel a wave of pain.
"What's the maximum it can go?"
Why don't I just forget it?
Besides, the female ghost doesn't seem to have any ill intentions.
"The highest it can go is 50,000 yuan," Madam Da calmly says.
"50,000. Only 50,000?" I'm surprised.
The translucent face snorts.
"I'll give up missions that exceed 50,000. Money is nice, but I need to be alive to spend it."
"… Okay." I see myself on the brink of bankruptcy.
"By the way, I'll give you a document. You can download it and read about how to get along with ghosts." The translucent face slowly slides back into the phone.
Then I see SleepingWithCorpses send me a BitTorrent seed.
I open it and realize that there are a few videos in it. They're quite large in size and are named "1," "2," and "3."
Due to the seriousness of the matter, I don't hesitate and turn on my computer to download it.
While I initiate the download, I start playing games to pass time.
After a while, the download completes. I open the video file named "1."
In just a few seconds, a title appears in front of me:
"A Chinese Ghost Story."
"I…"
On the glass window, a blurry female ghost wearing a long black dress appears. She holds her cheek with one hand and quietly stares at the computer screen.


With the rising tide of steam power and machinery, who can come close to being a Beyonder? Shrouded in the fog of history and darkness, who or what is the lurking evil that murmurs into our ears?

Waking up to be faced with a string of mysteries, Zhou Mingrui finds himself reincarnated as Klein Moretti in an alternate Victorian era world where he sees a world filled with machinery, cannons, dreadnoughts, airships, difference machines, as well as Potions, Divination, Hexes, Tarot Cards, Sealed Artifacts… 

The Light continues to shine but mystery has never gone far. Follow Klein as he finds himself entangled with the Churches of the world—both orthodox and unorthodox—while he slowly develops newfound powers thanks to the Beyonder potions.

Like the corresponding tarot card, The Fool, which is numbered 0—a number of unlimited potential—this is the legend of "The Fool."

When she did make it home a little after 6pm, her guts were killing her. Meanwhile, her brother was staring in absolute horror at all her purchases of the day.

Sophie would like to say she's a tough woman. She's had to be, she was a survivor and only grew stronger from it. But right now she just was a petite and tender 21 year old college student that had some pretty bad cramps.

Since she did pay him earlier, Matthew got to work immediately carrying in all the 'groceries' and travel supplies while Sophie collapsed on the couch.

20 minutes. She allowed herself 20 minutes of rest after swallowing down her prescribed painkillers. 

Time was ticking but she could do this. She had to. 

Luckily she had an extra pair of helping hands, even if those hands were absolutely confused on what she was trying to do. At this moment Matthew truly thought his sister had gone insane to buy so much crap. 

"Surprise, we're going camping too. Just.... help me pull out the luggage and Tetris this all in." Sophie mumbled from the couch, waiting for the pain relievers to kick in. 

The extra-large luggage meant for check-in was already out in the living room. All Matthew had to do was open up packages, throw away the carboards and somehow make the supplies and camping gear fit. 

Luckily all of the camping gear was brand new and rolled up perfectly tight and compact. Soft items cushioned more delicate electronics while the empty space was filled with seemingly random food and accessories.

Matthew screamed however when he saw the sheer amount of knives Sophie bought but she lazily waved him off and told him the multi-tool was a gift for him.  

"That still doesn't explain all the damn knives!"

"End of the world Mattie."

"Is this even legal?"

"Yes yes Mattie, I checked. Everything is perfectly legal and we can check it in on the plane as long as we do it right. Not the lighter though, somehow you have to keep lighters with you. Funny right?"

While he was a little excited for the present he was more concerned why in the world his sister thought it was necessary to buy a machete? Multiples of them even. Then pack them into the luggage?

She really has gone insane. 

"Just play along with me for today Mattie. I swear I'll go back to normal and forget all about the dream when nothing happens to our flight. Just this much....please."

A deal is a deal. 

"...Fine, but we're keeping all the receipts. We're absolutely keeping the cooking gear since you decided to splurge but no one needs this many outdoor knives?!"

"Survivialst do."

"Normal people don't! What the hell Sophie is this going to be a new phase? Well as long as you don't try going vegan again."

"Haha very funny."

A phase huh, it's going to be a very long one. 

When the pain in her uterus and guts became bearable again, Sophie sat up and started to help her poor confused brother with the packing. 

They took a very necessary chicken dinner while the food was still warm and was finished putting everything together by 9 pm. Initially, Mattie was concerned there just was not enough time to organize everything his sister had bought. However, she was more efficient tonight than he had ever seen her. 

While he was still concerned about her odd state, she seemed to be in control? He could play along for a bit more, after all she had promised to stop after the next day if nothing occurred. 

For the rest of the evening, until it was time for their ride to take them to the airport, Sophie checked over her brother's carry on and hers. 

After approving of his new backpack and carry on luggage she moved on to stuff her sister's left behind personal items. Then any last-minute substantial gear or medicines inside the house. Anything useful, even if it may not look like it at first.  

She also informed her brother to download everything he may want into his electronic devices as well as their dad's old tablet. 

"Charge it for me, I'll download the stuff I want in dad's. Just fill it up with your favorite movies or whatever. Use up everything.  You can delete it afterward if you want. "

"Uh well okay, sure I got some music I wanted to update anyways."

"If you have room, download survivalist guides, and stuff. End of the world Mattie, play it like it's going to be the end of the world.."

"What you're saying is you want me to watch every season of 'Lost?'"

"If you want sure, go watch some, I'm sure there's better shit to download though."

"No thanks, hey there's an 8 minute version of the whole show."

"You do you bro, just download something useful instead of that crap."

"Oh my god this show is awful." he laughed.

While it would be more economical to download only useful things, they had limited time and search and select. Besides, having something that would remind them of home and entertaining distractions was important to keep their sanity later on. 

Even if it was the same things on repeat, the few books and personal photographs that had survived the crash had kept tensions down. At least for awhile.

While the power in the generator still worked, people had their phones and music to distract them from the empty space between the harsh work of survival during the day. Movies, funny ones especially, and little things like that had more an effect than people realize. 

For Sophie, sanity was kept in the pens and pages of her travel journal- till it ran out of space that was. 

Now she would come prepared. Both for her and her siblings. 

The rest of the space on the devices she would save for practical guides and videos. Youtube had videos on anything, even in 2017. 
 
She left herself and packing her own bags for last. Not because she was already prepared but because in her mind she mattered the least. She's already lived through hell once, she could do it again. 

It's her siblings that didn't make it in another life.  Everything Sophie does now has to be for them.

But you can't help others if you don't help yourself first. 

Packing was a daze, as Sophie was lost in thought the entire time. Sure she was conscious as she selected appropriate versatile clothing items. She even raided her mom's untouched closet for more durable good things. But the folding, rolling, air compression and zipping were all done on autopilot, fueled by adrenaline, caffeine, and desperation. 

When the last zipper was zipped and all the air squeezed out to close the luggage, Sophie practically collapses on her mother's old vanity chair.

The busy day had Sophie working up a sweat. So she lied earlier, she shrugged to herself and dragged her tiered body for another hot shower. She should enjoy the luxury of unlimited hot water while she still could.

After she was scrubbed, pink and raw, but much more relaxed, she couldn't help but stop and stare. At the soft little girl in a vanity mirror. 

It was still hard to believe. 

She looked so young but she felt so damn tired, so old. It was disorienting. 

God, how far did she even age? Time was still blurry to her, a concept terrifingly confusing to make any sense of again after the rescue. It was so bad that Sophie could only resort to keeping track by counting the years during and after the island. 8 Years on the island. 5 Years after, 13 wretched years.

She was 33 years old then. Funny, last she recalled the woman looking back in the mirror looked a hell lot older. Stress, insanity and the elements were not kind to her. When help had finally found her all those years ago, rescuers thought she was an old woman. Her hair has gone completely white. 

She sure felt a hell lot older than any of her ages, now and then.

Vanity was worth nothing to her now.  Her own personal beauty even disgusted her and some points. When she was younger, Sophie would complain to her mother for not giving her as nice genes as her baby sister. 

Her mother would scoff, knowing her jokes too well, and say she was plenty enough.

That's true. Sad but true.  As a young woman, Sophie was plenty attractive enough. 

She was scared, terrified even of being anything close to desirable again. Of being made a victim. If it was to save her family she would suffer it all again in a heartbeat but deep down she was marked and damaged by her trauma. Right now her body was so young, so clean. But in her mind and soul, she was bitter to the point of death. 

The scars on her body had disappeared but the ones in her mind had never healed. 

In a split rash decision, she opened her mother's drawers and found the salon-grade scissors and razors. Her mother was frugal and would cut the family's hair to save costs. It was the little things.

Over the bathroom trash, Sophie snips and snips. Chunks of hair falling messily over the floors. What landed half on the floor and into the trash was long, healthy and black, not shocked white like an old woman's. 

It was so pretty once. 

She's no professional but she's trimmed her own hair plenty of times with much duller blades. She cut everything as evenly as she could. Up to her ears, cropped short, before she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. 

With the razor, she cleaned up the sides and stared at her reflection. 

How young and tender she still looked, even with all her lovely smooth hair chopped off. All that was left was something that could be considered a layered pixie cut, though she kept some of her side bangs. 

If it was the old her, the true 21 year old, she may have cried. 

It was not an unflattering style but short hair could not hide her round baby face cheeks. It made her look even younger, boyish. She was once so petty about not being as tall and fashionable looking as June. Like many girls, so casually focused on her looks.

How funny, the things that once seemed so important to her were absolutely insignificant, maybe even a burden. 

But she felt better.  This cut suited her current self more, sharp and practical. It was actually very cool and Sophie could help but grin into the mirror. 

Sophie cleaned the scissors and razor properly before putting them back in their case. She had opened up the drawer to return them when she thought otherwise and slipped them into her pocket, to put in the luggage. It could fit a little something more and stainless steel was impossible to get on the island.

In the still-open drawer, an ornate box stared back at her.

Vanity meant nothing to her now. 

But if it was her mother's?  If it was a keepsake, something of hers, well that's a different story. She's not surprised by the faint layer of dust over the lacquer box. She is surprised at how her mother's jewels can still shine once exposed to the light. 

There are quite a few valuable pieces. She's sure that anything here would look lovely on both her and June. But something like jewelry is near worthless in that place, only a bunch of pretty rocks.

Sure maybe someone might want to trade if it was before the later years. But essentially, it was worthless. Jewelry couldn't keep you fed, it did nothing to help you survive. 

She picks out a small pair of diamond studs, little earrings encrusted with a swirling circle of platinum. These simple earrings didn't sparkle anywhere near as much as the others but were just as valuable. 

These, she'll take these of her mother. 

She already packed her father's tablet, not as sentimental exactly but it was his. Maybe she'll also raid his closet for things Mattie had left behind?

In the back of the near untouched closet was a vintage bomber jacket she remembered her father never wore but kept pristine. He said it was from his youth and she had seen photos of him in it, from a time not unlike hell itself. It was still too large for her but had seen her father safe through a war, perhaps it would do the same for her. 

With these two last items, Sophie thinks she's ready. Not really but as ready as she'll ever be. She takes one last whiff of her mother's perfume still lingering around the vanity and turns off the lights.

No time to cry, she has a flight to catch.

Sophie liked to think of herself as a tough sort of woman, a survivor. As an average person, she survived hell on earth and returned to tell the tale. Give or take.

In a tragic freak accident, she and the survivors of two plane crashes were trapped on a strange uninhabited island. It took 8 years for help to locate them.

Of the original 288 missing passengers and crew, only 22 people remained. The world went wild, everyone wanted to know what happened. What went on there?

In a true Lord of the Flies fashion, it was humanity at its worst. It was hell on earth, a miniature apocalypse in the middle of the ocean.

Sure Sophie had survived, but even after years of intensive therapy, she isn't always happy about it. Those who murdered her younger brother were now rich, those who raped and left her baby sister to die in childbirth were famous. The kings of that hell island, monsters wearing human skin, had sold their stories and were now living the good life after. And try as she might move on, hell has followed her home.

Till she wakes up 13 years back in the past that is. Less than 1 day before her scheduled flight to hell.

It was already a bit past midnight.

A cold mist filled the valley as it kept a stunned silence.

Gu Qing Shan and Ilya both stood in the empty valley, not knowing what to do next.

All traces of the ghost army ended as they entered the valley.

But there wasn't a single ghost here to be found.

"An army of 100,000 can't just disappear without a trace" Gu Qing Shan commented.

"I agree, that is impossible. This is a lost world of the Old Gods, even ghosts and revenants have to follow the Laws set by the divinity, not to mention, a large portion of them were Entropy Ghosts that scattered themselves, so they clearly still had to follow the most basic Laws of this world, as they couldn't appear or disappear out of thin air" Ilya agreed.

Even after turning the entire valley upside down to check, they still couldn't find any other clues.

Ilya scowled: "I have a bad feeling about this"

"Same here"

Gu Qing Shan replied.

He released his inner sight again to scour through every last inch of space in this place.

After he had checked the mountains, the trees, even the dirt, Gu Qing Shan still couldn't find anything.

Ilya spoke: "Seems like we'll have to use a few special means"

Saying so, she took out a large, polished bronze mirror.

Carefully setting it on the ground, she sternly spoke: "Magic mirror, please tell me if there were any voices here within the last 200 breaths"

The mirror stayed silent.

Ilya squinted her eyes, muttering: "Troublesome…"

She thought a bit more and asked: "Magic mirror, please tell me if there were any voices here within the last 1000 breaths"

A low voice came from the mirror: 「 To search for voices within the last 1000 breaths, you need 1735 units of Divine Power 」

Divine Power?

As Gu Qing Shan heard that, he looked at Ilya.

Ilya seemed clearly troubled.

My wounds still haven't fully healed, if I use the remaining Divine Power I have to investigate an unclear piece of intel, that might be a bit unproductive.
It's fine if we manage to find out important intel.
But if there still isn't any intel after that, then it would be a huge waste.

While she was hesitating, Gu Qing Shan came forward and asked: "So you need Divine Power? Just 1735 units are enough?"

「 Correct, 1735 units of Divine Power is necessary to start the search 」the magic mirror answered.

"I'll pay"

Gu Qing Shan placed his hand on the magic mirror.

Ilya hurriedly knocked his hand away, reminding him: "You can't, the amount of Divine Power a living being can possess is limited, with your current strength, the maximum amount of Divine Power you can hold won't even be 1735 units, you will die!"

"Don't worry, when it comes to Divine Power, I'm naturally talented" Gu Qing Shan explained.


Ilya was stunned.

Naturally talented?
Is there such a thing?

Gu Qing Shan once again put his hand on the magic mirror.

The mirror asked: 「 Are you sure you want to pay 1735 units of Divine Power? If you die, I can't be blamed 」

"Do it"

Following Gu Qing Shan's voice, the number of Soul Points displayed on the War God UI changed.

[1735 Soul Points has been deducted]
[Remaining Soul Points: 510,000/400]

Gu Qing Shan glanced at it and silently nodded.

After deducting the fractional amount, the remaining Soul Points was now a round number.

All that effort and energy he spent into killing the ghost army wasn't in vain after all.

As the magic mirror was supplied with Divine Power, voices and noises began to appear.

Ilya and Gu Qing Shan stood in front of the mirror, carefully listening to it.

This was a mirror, but it could only give off sound…

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised: "Why are there only sounds without any images?"

"This magic mirror can only search for sounds. But that's already quite a feat, searching for past images is much harder so there are hardly any treasures capable of that" Ilya explained.

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

For some reason, he suddenly recalled the first time he met Bai Hua Fairy.

At the time, to check whether or not his words were true, Bai Hua Fairy invoked a Divine Skill.

[Truth from Void]

Using Gu Qing Shan's badge as a catalyst, Bai Hua Fairy managed to see all of Gu Qing Shan's battles up to that point.

She could even see whether or not the people around him were dead or alive.

…Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

A treasure that came from the Mystic Zones of the 900 million World Layers can't even compare to one of Shifu's Divine Skills?
Now that I think about it, every single Divine Skill that Shifu possesses wasn't as simple as they seemed.

While he was thinking that, clear voices began to appear in the magic mirror.

He quickly refocused himself to listen.

At first, there were a lot of noises and commotion coming from the mirror, together with restless screaming and shouting.

A few moments later, most of those sounds had calmed down, leaving only the sparse screeching of some ghosts.

Until finally, a thunderous voice speaking in ghost language came out from the mirror.

『 All troops, retreat 』

After this, there were no longer any sounds.

The two of them exchanged looks of disbelief and continued to wait.

But the magic mirror just continued to stay silent.

Just as Gu Qing Shan and Ilya were about to give up, a faint sound came out from the mirror again.

It was the deep sigh of a woman.

Such a sound coming from the perfectly silent valley caused both Gu Qing Shan and Ilya to be caught off guard.

This was supposed to be where the ghost army gathered, why was there a sigh of a human woman?

A few moments later, a soft singing voice echoed in the dark valley.

"A journey so far.
Far outside of my wildest dreams.
Sometimes I still dream.
Of how much I miss home…"

The singing voice disappeared.

At this point, there were no longer any sounds.

"Universal human language!" Ilya commented.

"That was unlikely to be a human, demonized people have no way to infiltrate this world" Gu Qing Shan refuted her.

"Then just who was that woman?" Ilya asked.

Gu Qing Shan couldn't answer.

All they heard were a few lines of singing, how would they know who she was?

"No, there still isn't enough intel" he muttered.

Ilya crouched down, putting her hand on the ground and chanted: "O' Mother Earth, she who watches over all, grant me witness to the sky, the wind, the rain, the mountain!"

As she completed her chant, the valley itself began to tremble.

Large mountain peaks began to sprout from the ground.

A majestic mountain range that stretched far was created out of thin air, standing tall between heaven and earth.

The place where Ilya and Gu Qing Shan stood was now the top of a towering mountain peak.

"There are no traps within a 3-kilometer radius in the ground, nor are there any buildings, it's all clean"

Ilya sighed and told him.

Gu Qing Shan took out a formation plate and quickly operated it.

Grand Anti-ghost formation, activate!

A yellow cluster of light began to expand from the peak of the mountain downwards.

A faint and curt grunt of pain abruptly came.

Both Gu Qing Shan and Ilya disappeared on the spot, reappearing where the sound had come from.

It was a large rock.

"That rock was originally underground, it only appeared on the outside of the mountain because of my spell" Ilya quickly said.

Gu Qing Shan slashed it with his sword.

The rock was instantly sliced to pieces, a jet black shadow rolled out from the rock, groaning while lying flat on the ground.

This was a shadow-type monster, its entire body was made of an incorporeal fog of darkness, but the head revealed its fierce and disgusting true self.

A Soul-devouring Revenant of Huang Quan!

"Apparently it was hiding inside a rock underground, if it weren't because of your formation causing it to feel pain, it wouldn't have let out a single sound" Ilya commented.

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

When he first came into this world, he saw one of these ghosts before.

At the time, the ghost had attached itself to a corpse, and Gu Qing Shan only managed to trap it using his Lightning power.

「 A ghost of Huang Quan, need me to contact it? 」 the Earth sword couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Wait a bit" Gu Qing Shan said.

He walked forward, crouching down in front of the revenant and carefully checked.

This monster's limbs were all torn apart, it was also very heavily wounded, enough for it to die at any time.

The wounds were clearly caused by sword-infused wind-------- as if it was barely brushed past by the wind.

Who would've thought it could survive for this long.

『 The light, uncomfortable, take away your light… 』 the Soul-devouring Revenant moaned

Sensing that it was about to die, Gu Qing Shan dispelled his anti-ghost formation.

It was now that the revenant stopped its heavy breathing.

A sword was pointed right at its forehead.

The shining light of Lightning, filled with a presence of destruction had concentrated right at the tip of the sword.

"Come, tell me, why are you the only one left here?" Gu Qing Shan pointed his sword at the revenant and asked.

Having the power of Lightning so close caused the Soul-devouring Revenant to feel extreme discomfort, but it still smirked sarcastically.

『 I hid here simply because I didn't want to be eaten by other ghosts. I never thought I'd be found out like this 』

"Then tell me what happened, I promise to think of a way to heal your wounds" Gu Qing Shan said.

『 Too late 』the Soul-devouring Revenant shook its head, 『 everything is about to be over, and you're all done for as well 』

Saying so, the Soul-devouring Revenant turned into a puff of black smoke that gradually faded away.

It died.

On a misty evening, a boy was sitting in front of his computer as he was trying to waste some time before he went to bed. He mostly played RPG's, however, recently there were no new games to play and if there were, he normally didn't like their style.
He stumbled upon a random website 'NewLifeRPG.com", at first it was really intriguing to him, it promised a world unlike any others, this was since it was modern and was based on the world. Along with that, it included the ability to restart life inside a game and being able to live out your dream life.
All of this was promised in a single player world, this wasn't considered to be anything like the current games. A game map the size of the actual Earth? Billions of custom made NPCs? A fully dynamic world? Miles in front of the current gaming industry.
The most shocking thing was the missing price tag, it straight away leads to a 'download' option where you can start playing. He quickly pressed the button and saw the download going up. 1%, 5%, 30%, 50%, 90%, 100%. The game downloaded instantly.
He didn't really have amazing internet or anything, and the file seemed to take up about 500gb, which was shocking as it filled up nearly all of the space on his computer. He quickly opened the launcher. The screen turned black as he was staring into it. The light behind him seemed to turn off, he was in eternal darkness which scared him, he couldn't see anything or feel anything anymore.
Out of nowhere faded in a reflection of him, on the pitch back background, it stood out brightly without any light needed. Next to it were a few options, you could change the hairstyle, face shape, body shape, eye colour and everything else he needed.
The current character had a slightly chubby body and round face. It was an average person you would see on the street. The hairstyle was messy and in dire need of a haircut. He reached out with his hand he couldn't see, but somehow still felt it and interacted with a button which opened a menu for hairstyles. There was a basic choice at first; short, medium or long. He clicked on medium hair as he had always imagined himself with a haircut, in turn, would expose his face and attract attention. He found one which he always liked, faded sides and back which lead to an undercut of hair being directed backwards causing a waving motion.
Now that he looked at his character, the hair looked awesome but didn't fit the face. He quickly adjusted everything and sharpened the face to make it more handsome. He currently possessed the most common eye colour which was brown, he had changed this to the rarest colour of green which stood out on the face. 
He was satisfied with the face, he now went onto the body where he removed the fat it had and added as much muscle mass as possible. The character was already fairly tall and he left it like that. The character would now be something you would see at a model show, getting all the girls who saw it be attracted immediately.
He finally pressed the next option, the choice was now given to give out points to specific characteristics of the person, the current stats were: Strength - 15, Intelligence - 18, Wisdom - 6, Consitution - 12, Dexterity - 10, Charisma - 14. He could deduct or add any points he wanted as long as they added up to 75, however, he decided not to change anything.
Now came the final part, he had to select a name. At first, he inputted his real name, "Milo Sosnowski" but quickly changed it since he wanted a cooler sounding name. He liked his first name, he didn't want to change the short yet simple name. He thought of different second names which sounded cool. Doombringer, Emperor, King, Silverblade and so on. He couldn't figure out anything cool. He finally decided to use his favourite character's surname, Dawnblade.
He clicked confirm and was met by a message by a robotic voice in his mind [Welcome to Nova Aeries, the rising city of the people in the world of Altinova. You will be placed in a single apartment on the outskirts of the city, you will be left with a new world to explore, you can interact with anyone and anything. The world is yours for whatever you wish.] Shortly after his vision started to appear back to normal, he was in a strange room.
The floor was made of white tiles all along the whole place, the walls were painted grey and everything was modern. There were four rooms: A living room, kitchen, bedroom and toilet. All the furniture was modern and aesthetic to view.
The voice came back to Milo, [If you require any help, you can think about and I will reply.]
Milo was excited about this game, he didn't know how this happened but it seemed like he was transported to another world. "How do I log off? I was meant to go down and eat dinner with my family?" He really didn't know what he should do.
The robotic voice replied straight away. [Leave? There is no such option. You are now directly in a different world with a new body.]
Milo was looking around, he looked into the mirror and saw the character he created just a moment ago. He walked up the mirror weirdly as he wasn't used to the muscles but they weren't a big problem. He grabbed his face and noticed that everything seemed real. "Well then, what happened to my other body?"
[The host's soul has been split, and there will be no problem. Your current half is in this world without the other not even knowing what just happened.]
Milo carried on walking around and looking at everything. "So this new world, I'm now stuck here? Do I have any benefits of staying here or anything of the sorts?"
The robotic voice started to speak in its monotone voice. [The host now lives here, the world is for his taking like said before, your body is currently equipped with the 'RPG System', loading welcome message for the 'RPG System'.]
A beep sounded and the same voice started going off again. [Welcome! This is a short introduction on how to use the 'RPG System'. The system has all the abilities of a normal RPG for the host to utilize in his new life. They will be given multiple features such as gaining quests, changing host's stats, world utilities, other people's affection rating of host and being able to save and load at different points of host's life.] Another beep sounded, ['RPG System' introduction finished, would you like for it to repeat?]
"No, that's enough."
Milo looked into the mirror with a smirk.

When you see a random RPG on a sketchy website, you normally wouldn't try it out. It was promised to be set in the modern world where you could level up yourself and different skills while engaging in a beautiful new world.
It might be a bit sketchy when opening up the application your vision fades and it seems that you can edit your own person and it's stats and then enter the world with a new set of skills.

*bzzt* *bzzt* *bzzt*

My phone starts to vibrate as my alarm goes off in the morning. The soft morning light filtering through my bedroom window. I slowly wake up and reach for my phone under my pillow and turn off the alarm.

As I get up and stretch my body still a little tired from waking up. I look at the time on my phone only to be confused as to why it's 7 am, much earlier than I usually get up. As if to answer my question a reminder goes off on my phone.

Reminder: Ingenuity Online release today.

It took me a second to process the reminder, but as it sank in I was ecstatic. Today was the release date of the most awaited immersive VR game in history, Ingenuity Online.

I rush out of bed and grab a pair of jeans and then a blue blouse out of my closet. Thankfully I had the foresight braid my hair last night to minimize prep time in the morning. I undo the braid and let my wavy snow white hair cascade down my shoulders. As I look in the mirror I see pale but delicate skin, pink lips, and a pair of stunning amethyst colored eyes (purple). The only makeup I decide to apply today is a tube of black lipstick and some mascara.

I go to the kitchen of my two bedroom apartment and reminisced on how I got here as I made breakfast. When I was seventeen a friend said that since I was good at seeing patterns, and that I should look into trying penny stocks. So I learned how to analyze penny stocks and earned $10,000 by the time I graduated high school. So a few months latter I found this apartment and have lived there ever since. Soon after I purchased a VR game cabin and had it installed in the second room, because I have always loved video games.

At 7:30 I finished up my breakfast and cleaning up. I went out to my car and triple clicked the lock to remote start my BMW 8 series Coup. I get in the car and drive to the nearest game shop to pick up my preorder copy for Ingenuity Online.

As I get out of my car I start hearing catcalls all around me, to which I rolled my eyes and kept going. I walk up to the entrance and wait for the shop to open.

A little before the shop opens a bulky guy, about half a foot taller than me at 5'9", walks over to me with an unveiled look of lust in his eyes.

"A small girl like you shouldn't be..."

Before he could even finish speaking I grabbed his arm, twisted it, kicked the back of his knee and pushed him face first into the ground.

"Don't worry jack ass, I can take care of myself," not veiling the disgust in my voice for a second.

As all this happened the game shop employee came and unlocked the store. As soon as the store opened I walked in to avoid further conflict. I walk around the shop as I wait for the register to get ready.

"Morning Winter, I'm ready for you over here."

"Hey John, sucks that you have to work today right?"

"It really does, I'm gonna have to set up really quick to start as soon as servers go up for Ingenuity, you here to pick that up?"

I confirmed and scanned my thumb chip. After the facial recognition the game was sent directly to my game cabin and started to download. With a dazzling smile I said bye to John wishing him luck for when he started the game.

I look out the glass doors of the shop to make sure jack ass and his friends were gone, thankfully they were. No matter how skilled I am it's only possible to take on that many people alone in a game. So I head back to my Coup and go back to my apartment.

It's 8:30 by the time I reach home and since I have a while before the download I go to my computer. I've always loved playing those retro games from the early 2010's. I play until the my phone tells me the download is complete and quickly found a save point.

I get comfortable and change into some sweats, before I get into the game cabin. I go and check the nutrient solutions to make sure it's full. After all this is done I jump into the cabin and close it over top of me.

-"Welcome Winter Jenson, what game would you like to start?"

"Start Ingenuity Online"

-Ding "Only character creation is available right now, servers come online at UTC - 5:00. Would player like to continue and start character creation?"

"Start Ingenuity Online."

"Booting creation server... Ding, Welcome to Ingenuity Online."

In 2083 a revolutionary VR game was released to the world. The game allowed players to create their own skills making a unique class to themselves. The game was called Ingenuity Online and encouraged ingenuity and innovative character creation. Winter Jenson has always loved VR games and played them most her life. With the announcement and release of the game she prepares the become the best in the game as Tess Cryo.

Name - Rin Yamashita

___________________________

I look at my stats and cannot help but be suprised by the level distribution. After assessing it I ask 'So how do I increase my level Amara?'

[Well raising the cooking level is pretty straight forward. Keep advancing your knowledge and skills and it will grow naturally. Gastronomy on the other hand requires you to develop your level of understanding concerning the food rather than the cooking method].

'Wait Amara, before you continue please could you go into more detail concerning gastronomy?'

[Hai! Kohai-kun!] I imagine a haughty expression on the face of the goddess as she replies in a proud tone, clearly loving the chance to act superior.

[You should know the basics as you studied culinary arts for a bit, but I'll skim over the basics again. Whereas culinary science refers to the study of cooking food, gastronomy looks at eating food and developing an understanding of the deeper relationship between food and culture. This will also develop naturally as I'm sure you'll be eating quite a lot of different foods].

'Is there anything in specific I need to do in order to raise this?' I ask after hearing her explanation.

[There are many ways you can develop this faster. For example, not only the taste but also the design of the dish, the ingredients used aswell as the methods used all transmit a story through the dish. But in most cases this can only be displayed by food that has achieved a certain level.. anyways I am sure you will notice this in the future]

'Ah okay I understand. Please could you continue with your explanation of the levels' I ask politely.

[So management refers to your ability to manage information aswell as manage situations]

[You have had a lot of experience in managerial positions so your current level portrays your ability currently]

[This can only be risen through situations that require you to act in a managerial role, or through acts that require you to take many responsibilities or manage large quantities of information]

'Ah.. seems straight forward enough'

[Your current level concerning management is quite high taking into account your current age. Don't worry about this and focus on increasing your cooking and gastronomy levels]

[I don't want to give you too much information but I have prepared another gift once you achieve level 6 in both cooking and gastronomy].

'Okay! well I'll get started on that this week. I'm going to be visiting many restaurants so I'll try to increase my understanding through this' I get motivated after hearing that there will be another gift.

[I should note that you really have to get a real understanding of the dish, eating a dish is not enough for you to increase your gastronomy level]

'But still Amara, this is one hell of a cheat. I'm not sure if I should feel happy or guilty that I have this'

[Hey! I put a lot of effort into this so you should be greatful]

'No no don't get me wrong, I'm grateful and will use it but I can't help feel a sense of guilt for all the chef's who put in a lot of hard work to get to their position'

[It's not like other people don't have similar traits in this world. Take Erina's case as an example, she has the god tongue and has the best upbringing a chef can ask for]

[She can pretty much do what you can do concerning the ingredients and it's not hard to figure the method out from this if you have enough knowledge]

'Hey Amara, how come you became so knowledgeable about cooking all of a sudden?' Remembering what she has explained about gastronomy I cannot help but be suprised by her knowledge.

[Let's just say I've done a lot of preparation for our future adventures hehe]

[And what do you mean?! are you suggesting that this goddess wouldn't know about cooking?] she says yet again in an angry tone.

'Fuck seems like I've offended her again' 

'Well I guess I was kind of biased against you, I'm sorry' I apologize feeling guilty because I was biased due to her otaku tendencies.

After following an online map I find myself arriving Infront of the barber shop. I enter "Irasshaimase!" I am greeted by several barbers "what can I do for you today" a man with long brown hair approaches me and asks.

I show him a picture "this hairstyle please," I ask politely.

"Hai! wakarimashita"

...

I look into a mirror before leaving the barber. I see myself 'damn these looks are a cheat in itself'. A 180cm man in a grey overcoat can be seen with light silver hair in a curtain hairstyle. The man was unbelievable handsome with a well shaped face, chiseled jaw line and deep blue eyes 'okay I need to call Miyuki to see where she is'.

(A.N: His hair is similar to Levi's hair but light silver)

I then leave the store "Moshi Moshi" a softly spoken voice rings in my ear.

"Ah Miyuki-san it's Rin. I'm done now, sorry for the wait. Where should we meet?" I say whilst holding a phone to my ear.

"It's no problem Rin-san. I went to get coffee so I'm in a different cafe, the cafe is just around the corner from the cafe we went to so let's meet there if that's okay with you" she replies, presumably exiting the café as I hear a door close.

"Okay sure, see you soon"

After meeting Miyuki we explore dotonburi for a couple hours whilst visiting various stores in the Area.

"Miyuki-san, do you want some ice-cream? I want to rest for a bit seen as we've been walking around for so long" I look towards a ice cream stand and then ask whilst turning my head towards the black haired beauty.

"Sure, I could also do with a rest, any flavour is fine for me. I'll go find a seat and wait for you"

'This is essentially a date isn't it' various thoughts run through Miyuki's head whilst she stares towards the figure paying for ice cream. She then shakes her head 'no he's only 15'

'He's also my boss so I surely he doesn't see it like that'

Rin is totally oblivious to her thoughts whilst asking for 2 small tubs of matcha ice cream.

'Analyze'

'Amara how do I access the system download function'

[Easy! Just focus on the recipe and say"System download recipe"]

I focus on the ice cream again 'System download recipe'

Information is instantly transmitted to my head 'Amara this function is going to be so OP' I cannot help but laugh evilly in my head.

I would also appreciate feedback so that I can make this fanfic better.

In the middle of a vast and luscious forest  a lake could be seen. it was surrounded by healthy vegetation, brimming with a lot of fishes and countless see organism.
An 15-year-old boy can be seen floating on the lake.
His eyes suddenly awakens.
He straggle to get his bearings , so his balance was destroyed, making him fall in the lake.
After swimming to the shore in a hurry, the boy lay flat back on the land while trying to organize his thoughts.
Do to being an avid reader of countless novels, Tobi didn't panic to much.
Yes.... this boy is Tobi , our MC from earth.
"Where am i ? ". he muttered.
He started to remember his conversation with god , how he died and his wishes.
He contemplated for hours.
"Ahhhh so damn thirsty ! " he got dehydrated, so he decided to drink water from the lake.
While trying to drink the water in the lake to clench his thirst, he saw his face reflecting on the surface of the water.
" What is this? is that me?!..... i really did transmigrate , Hahahaha " he said while laughing out loud.
Looking at the water he could see an 15 -year-old boy with stunning red eyes and dashing black hair just enough to all most cover his eyes. he has  beautiful face with a hint of maturity in it, he looked exactly like a young Cadis Etrama Di Raizel from noblesse.
After an hour of admiring and wondering about his new life, Tobi or yet better Raizel decided to try his system and powers.
He tried his power first, he started walking to a near by tree and punched his fist while it was covered in a white transparent halo towards it , but before his fist and the tree met, the space where his punch landed cracked like a small mirror in the air.
He felt vibrations pass through his hand and a weak shock-wave then followed  through and hit the tree , but only rattled it a little bit .
Raizel was flabbergasted about the thing he just did.
Second after...realization came in and as he organized his thoughts, he started laughing out loud again.
" Hahaha, nice,nice,nice ! with this power i can live my life to the fullest!"
And like a madman , he continued to laughing  until fatigued came in, and he needed to seat on the ground.
He knew that it will take him a lot of time to master his power like W.b  not to mention using W.b Technic like Kaishin (see-quake) or Kabutowari (helmet breaker). he needed to train his body and stamina if he wanted to use this power better.
After resting for a couple of minutes he tried to use his other power of darkness ,but the only thing that happened was that a black smoke-like substance was spreading out from his hand and surrounding it.
He tried to use his darkens power to attract a small rock near by to himself ,but he only managed to move it a couple of cm before he stated to breath really fast and run out of stamina.
"I see.... its the same problem i have with Tremor power ,i need to try and train as well as experiment more with those powers to have better control over them " he thought.
"It is time to check my system out" he said out loud.
"System" he said, but there was no answer.
"Status" he yelled, but again there was only silence.
He started to panic while thinking that god didn't give him his system.
A loud growling sound came in front of him and Raizel was startled awake from his panic state , in front of him was a wolve that came out from behind a tree while baring his fangs toward him. his gray fur was releasing a soft glow.
"This dog! dare to see this young master as food! i will kill you!" Raizel jump to the ground to pick a branch that fell from a tree, at the same time the wolf started his attack by running to him.
Raizel couldn't reach the branch on the ground , it was still an inch far from his hand so he used  the darkens darkens fruit ability to irresistibly pull the branch to him.
The wolf jump to him with his mouth open in an attempt to bite of his face.
In instinct Raizel raise his hands up to protect his face and by doing so the wolf bit into the branch that Raizel was holding while protecting his face.
Seeing this Raizel let go of the branch and thought that this is his chance to win and used every bit of power and stamina to punch the wolf ,his hand cover with a white transparent halo hit the air in front of the wolf and the sound of a mirror breaking with the wailing of a wolf was heard.
A couple of second later the sound of the wolf body hitting the ground was heard as the wolf laid there dead.
Seeing this and trying his best not to pass out, Raizel heard a sound in his head that made him smile.
