This story is just something im writing whenever i get bored or have time to write. 

Story is about a famous Dj who meets a girl at a festival he's performing at and instantly falls in love. They have to deal with fame,jealousy,and family drama along the way. 

This story isn't supposed to be serious its based off a dream i had one night.

Upon Awakening

A new morning has come!

That nostalgic phrase appeared in my mind.
It's been a long time since I last felt the feeling of awakening.
I mean, since I don't need to sleep in this world, this is this body's first experience at sleeping.

I behold the scene before me, and see busy preparations occurring in every corner of the city.
Even a quick feel reveals pulsating strength emanating from their bodies.
That, I believe, is the effect of my evolution.

「Ah! Rimuru-sama, you have awakened!」

I hear a nostalgic voice.
And from behind me, I feel a nostalgic aura.
I was hugged from behind by two warm, soft hills.
Evolution hasn't changed my slime form very much.
If anything, my color became silver with streaks of gold.
So… I'm that, right? Gold Slime or something?
The one that can move at the speed of light.
Though that's probably impossible, I do feel a kind of "highest type of slime around" aura about me.
This me was sitting on top of Shion's lap, her cheek rubbing against mine.
Yup. It feels great.
But, thank goodness! As planned, she seems to have resurrected.
And I have become a demon lord.
Moreover, not just Shion, but every person felled by the Blood Shadows has successfully come back to life.
I had worried whether the success rate was affected by distance from me, so I'm glad everyone was able to resurrect.
Well, I guess even『Great Sage』makes mistakes. Though I don't mind if they make me happy.
While rejoicing at her rebirth, I also dutifully enjoyed the feel of her breasts.
A truly heavenly moment it was.
But as if intending to ruin this beautiful moment,

「Oh, Rimuru-sama, you have awakened?
But I must confirm whether you are fully yourself, or else we couldn't rest easy.
You should remember our code, don't you?
Now then, let me confirm.『How's Shion's cooking?』how will you respond!」

With an evil smile, Benimaru asks me.
Of course I remember,『It's horrible』right? Seriously, what a worrywart.
The moment I thought to respond, I noticed the peril I was in.
Hmm? Aren't I being held by Shion right now…?
If I say『It's horrible』… what will happen I wonder…
A terrifying image filled my mind.
Wouldn't she squash me out of anger?
Damn it! He got me!!! A classic Hiroaki styled trap.
What should I say? What would be a good response?
Right! Great Sage will certainly come up with a good answer.
I thought, and tried activating『Great Sage』but it did not respond.
What… does this mean…? Hey, Great Sage!!!

≪Announcement. Unique Skill『Great Sage』has evolved into Ultimate Skill『Raphael』
As a result, it has been erased and cannot be used.≫

Oh… so even my skills evolved.
But, Raphael, huh?  Named after an angel; seems pretty amazing.
That aside, what's important is escaping this perilious situation.
Alright, Raphael, what's the best phrase to deceive Shion with?

≪Solution. After some calculations, an adequate phrase was not found≫

Useless~!!!
Great Sage was no good with these situations and Raphael is just as bad.
Honestly, so did the evolution affect the name without changing any parameters!
Of course, this exchange happened within a single second.

「Eh? What about my cooking?」
「Hmm? Oh, it's been so long that Rimuru-sama wants a taste, right?
That way you'll be able to show the results of your efforts.
Surely, he'll happily accept the meal?
And just a side note, I don't need any!」

Benimaru said such a wicked thing.
And to try to leave himself out of it… this bastard!
You know… just when I woke up in a good mood, to be sentenced to eternal sleep is…!
Shion happily accepted his proposal, and hastily ran off screaming "I have received his favor!"
I felt an unbelievable fear overtake me.

「Hey, what are you doing! No way I could respond『It's horrible』you know!
You purposefully trapped me, didn't you, Benimaru!」
「Hahaha, I have no idea what you're talking about. Well, shouldn't you have a taste after so long? Thanks to the constant taste testing that I do, I've recently acquired『Poison Resistance』…」

Benimaru said with a distant gaze.
A… are you kidding me.『Poison Resistance』…
Didn't you just equate her cooking to poison?!
What a tragedy. To find myself in it right after awakening.
Just after enduring one peril, to find myself in another?

The revived have come to greet me.
Though their aura has slightly changed, their personalities seem to be the same.
No lapses in memory, and their souls are properly attached to thier bodies.
However, each one has acquired the extra skill『Perfect Memory』

「This way, no matter how many times we die, we'll resurrect!」

They said as a joke… or not?
Extra skill「Perfect Memory」is a skill related to soul memory.
What is normally impossible, but they have now acquired a skill reserved for spiritual lifeforms only.
After each one offered their greeting, they all returned to work on the festival.
Whether to celebrate their new-found power or what, they decided to hold a festival.
But, when they started coming up with hilarious names for it, like『Maou's Birthday Party』or『Let's Worship Rimuru-sama Party』for example, I sincerely wanted to stop them.
Well, it's fine.
They can have all the fun they want today. After all, they are in very festive mood already.
For a festival-loving Japanese that I am, any reason is good enough.
Since coming up with some random reason to drink heavily is in every adult's nature.
I had offered to help, but with grand reverence they rejected my offer.
Well, I can't boast in my ability to prepare festivals anyways, so I'll rest up as requested.
Then, a person I have been seeing around here a lot ran up to me.

「Your awakening fills me with endless joy.
Allow me to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart for your rebirth as a demon lord」

He says, bowing deeply.
Who's that? Seems like a very high ranked demon, but I don't know…

「And please pardon the rudeness, but regarding my earlier request to become your humble servant…
How shall you respond? Have you made your decision?」

Becoming my servant… he says?
Umm, I do remember summoning one or two greater demons…
But no matter how I look at him, he's clearly beyond them?
I was sleepy back then and couldn't see very well, so could he be one of them…?

「Are you the one I summoned using the soldiers' corpses?」
「As you say. It was truly a delicious meal.
As a result, I was successfully able to materialize.」
「… Ah, is that so. Good for you」

What about the other two?

≪Solution. The〈Secret Revival Art〉was lacking the necessary energy.
Thus, and to fulfill their wish, they have been used and erased.≫

Wow.
Raphael is saying such terrifying things with such a happy tone.
It's even more heartless than Great Sage, and just showing off that wicked personality. And though I thought it useless a little bit ago, it has been supporting me from the shadows this whole time.
Sorry for thinking that you are useless.
However, to use up those demons that wanted only to be of use to me is just sad…

「Alright, got it. From now on you are one of my comrades.
What's your name?」
「Oh! You are too kind. But one such as I am a mere nameless demon.」

Hmm? A high ranked existence but nameless, huh.
Can't be helped. Let's give him a name.
But what name would be good?
Demons that I know of… There's the one that became humanity's ally.
There won't be any copyright violations if I use it, right? But, since this is a different world, I probably won't be sued…
Ah, whatever.

「Alright. In that case, you won't mind if I give you a name, will you?」
「Will you truly? 'Tis the greatest reward imaginable!!!」

His beautiful face curved in a delighted smile.
Yep, I really am predisposed to be loved by monsters.
Time to get serious.
This time, super car series.
Was it…

「Your name shall be Diablo.
Receive that name, and become my guardian deity!」

The moment I named him a considerable amount of energy escaped me.
I've really gotten used to feeling this. But hey, he took only half, at most.
I mean, I was worried that being a high demon and all he'll take all of it, but…
If I remember correctly, when I named the Greater Demon Beretta I was left with only a third of what I had; I guess a Greater Demon is also a high ranked existence.

≪Solution. Individual: Diablo was an Archdemon to begin with.
As the result of the evolution, Master's total magical energy amount has greatly increased.
Compared to the original amount, it is now ten times as large≫

Y-yeah.
Did Raphael just randomly decide to offer the advice… But, I seem to have said something inexcusable.
I mean, I'm happy that it is now ten times larger, but he took a half of that?!
This is… that, right? "Oops, I did it again" feeling?
Won't he become some absurdly powerful fiend.
The demon in front of me, kneeling, stopped moving. A black cocoon enveloped his body creating a perfect evolution posture.
Yep, I've done it again.
No cure for stupidity, so nothing I can do about this now.
Let's just hope that should it decide to rampage, that I'll be able to stop it.
Since the evolution did not look like it was going to end soon, I just left him there.
From now on: let's be careful about naming monsters!
I promised to myself but was confident that I wouldn't keep this promise.

Having completely forgotten about Diablo, I spent the time watching the festival preparations.
While everyone was merrily fulfilling their tasks, I was dreading the meal prepared by Shion.
And then, it came.
The feared, Shion's Cooking… also known as the most lethal weapon around.
With a bright, happy smile she brought me the meal(?).
Time to say my prayers. It's here.
Beholding the steaming dish,

「W-waaaaaait~! What is this? What the hell is this?」

That's not food.
I shall not permit anyone to recognize this as cooking.
A bunch of things flowing in the broth? Was she trying to make… Stew?
Listen girl, when someone questions your food, you've already lost.

「Hey, hey! Shion, wait. I have something I need to ask.
Have you ever heard the phrase "prepare the ingredients"?」
「Of course, Rimuru-sama! How does it look? Doesn't it look delicious?」
「You fool!
Why are carrots, potatoes, peppers, onions, and the other ingredients floating whole in there?!
So that you can tell them apart by looking or something?
You have to peel and cut them first!」

I screamed.
And when I saw Benimaru walking by,

「What's this all about? There's clearly been no improvement?」

Dodging my words like holy water, Benimaru shrugged,

「Nope, this is impossible for me.
I have hit a wall. A wall called reality.
I had never thought that something could be impossible, but this time I tasted defeat」

He said, scooting away.
What's with "a wall called reality" crap. Stop screwing with me.
I have to eat it, huh…?
When I look at Shion, her eyes are full of tears and she's trembling.
No choice, opening my heart to the unknown like a monk, I decided to take the first step towards nirvana…

「Got it, I'll eat it.
But, next time, please at least prepare the ingredients…」
「Umm, about that. I did try, but I end up cutting the building…」
「Huh?」
「No, the "Hercules' Edge" is plenty sharp, but it's a little long…」

Pointing at the odachi on her back.
She was cooking, no.,.. trying to cook with that?!
When I looked at Benimaru, he held up his arms as if giving up.
What an undependable guy. My opinion of him is quickly falling.

「A sword is not a tool for cooking. You get it?
Surely there's a knife around or something?」
「No, I am one with "Hercules' Edge" so cheating on it is a bit…」
「Ah, is that so. I thought of giving you a knife as a present soon, but I guess there's no need for that now.」
「I was wrong! "Hercules' Edge" is perfectly fine with me cheating on it, it said!」
「I see… I'll give you knife some time soon, so please use that to cook」

What a good person.
That should do it. At least, the ingredients shouldn't come out like that anymore.
If I at this food… no, I refuse to recognize it as food!.. If I ate this thing, I should acquire『Poison Resistance』I guess.
It'll probably be useful from now on.
No choice, I have evolved into a demon lord. I won't die from eating some food.
I change into my human form, and commit myself to eating it.
Steeling myself, I "welcome" some unknown substance into my mouth.
Without chewing, I swallow… Huh? Something's wrong.
It's pretty damn delicious.
N-no way! Though it looks completely inedible.
I open my eyes, and, with utmost care, eat another spoonful.
Delicious…
Benimaru was looking at me, as if praying. His eyes were asking me whether I was alright.
Which means that when Benimaru tasted it, it was really bad.
Shion has a triumphant smile on her face.
That did annoy me a bit.

「Shion, what is this…
Why, unlike how it looks, it tastes great?」

Fufufu, the thing is…
She said, and began the explanation…
In short, in the middle of the evolution, when she needed to express her dearest wishes, she wished for her cooking to be delicious.
I bet only she made such a wish during my gift granting ceremony.
What was she thinking, seriously?
But, I guess that's just like her; no, this is just who Shion is.

「Ehehe. Thus, I obtained this skill.
The name, unique skill『Cook』!」

I'm so amazed I have nothing to say.
To obtain a unique skill in order to cook, just how persistent was she?
When I asked about it, apparently no matter what she uses, it turns out delicious.
When Shuna found out about this, her eyes were full of tears of despair and hatred. Well, for someone who strives hard to succeed, such a skill is unforgivable.
But Shion has completely went off course trying to improve.
Well, that is just like her, I guess.

The day was thus in preparations of the festival, and we partied deep into the night.
Completely erasing the air of tragedy of a few days ago, the city with filled with smiling faces.
Youmu and Ellen also participated in the festival, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

There are a lot of loose ends to fix tomorrow, and we need to discuss the future.
But, not now.
Now, let's enjoy our lives to the fullest.
That's just our way of life.

A man is stabbed by a robber on the run after pushing his coworker and his coworker’s new fiance out of the way. As he lays dying, bleeding on the ground, he hears a voice. This voice is strange and interprets his dying regret of being a virgin by giving him the [Great Sage] unique skill! Is he being made fun of ?!

Han Sen held an orb that was around the same size as a man's fist. It shone like a miniature sun. If you looked at it closely, you could see there was something gold swimming inside it.
Deified Beast Soul: Sun Raven (Gem Type)
As he fiddled with the orb, he considered it.
Han Sen had obtained a few gem type beast souls in the past. Not many of them existed, as they were quite rare. But they could be used to bring other beast souls up to the same level as the gem beast soul.
This was a deified gem type beast soul, and that meant all Han Sen would have to do was find another beast soul of a compatible element. If he did, he could bring it up to a deified class.
Han Sen had a few different beast souls, but nothing like a firebird beast soul. That meant he could not use the deified gem type beast soul at this point in time. Han Sen returned it to his Sea of Soul, and then he looked at the ledger for the base.
The base's shortage of manpower kept them from producing much, but something very nice did happen soon after the crisis was averted. A young woman with ordinary geno armor had a second evolution. She became a Baron.
Gu Qingcheng guessed it might have had something to do with the gold raven mark. Perhaps the energy that melted into their bodies was what prompted the second evolution.
The geno armament she received was a fire type.
"If the gold raven mark can make people evolve, does that mean all these women and kids could end up becoming xenogeneics or Nobles?" As Han Sen mulled that thought over, he realized he was quite happy about it.
Any Nobles he developed could become Han Sen's loyal army, and he could be more confident about using them.
Of course, it still depended on when they could all become Nobles.
Only Black Steel and Captain Wood knew of the events that occurred in the Raven palace. It had been many days since then, and yet word had not gotten out. The news had been suppressed by all survivors, it seemed.
It did not matter much, anyway, even if word was to get out.
There were fewer Nobles in the base right now, at least, and that made things easier for him to manage. This also provided Han Sen with more time to practice and hunt xenogeneics. Even so, he was still unable to level up and become a Viscount.
"Han Sen, how are your skills coming along?" When Yisha finished practicing, she finally called up Han Sen.
"Things are going swimmingly," Han Sen answered.
Yisha, upon hearing Han Sen say that, smiled. Icebird was behind her, but she hadn't said a word.
Because Yisha had told her to review Han Sen's current situation, she knew he had lost many Barons and Viscounts. He always hunted alone, and he didn't focus on his practice.
"Good. The Moon God Festival is coming. All the elites and their heirs will be going. You should think about joining us. There'll be a test," Yisha said coldly.
"Moon God Festival?" Han Sen looked at Yisha with a modicum of confusion.
Yisha signaled for Icebird to step forward and explain. "The Moon God Festival happens every forty-nine years. Only the Rebate who are born within those forty-nine years are able to join. Because there are many outsiders within the Rebate society, especially over the past few centuries, they are also allowed to join. That is, if they are able to qualify."
Icebird explained it to Han Sen, so he'd know a bit more about it.
It wasn't random that it happened every forty-nine years. Every forty-nine years, on the main eleven planets, a moon altar would appear. Creatures that were born within those forty-nine years could enter the altar to Moon Palace.
The Moon Palace was in the center of Narrow-Moon, but it was different from the Gold Raven Hall. There was no sun. There were just the planets and Moon God Palace. It was usually cold, and hidden in the dark. Not even deified elites could sneak in.
During this time, the planet would appear, and the Moon God Palace would open up. Anyone who could make it past the altar and reach the palace would be blessed by the Moon God. This was a big thing for the Rebate, and the event would even be livestreamed. The first person to be blessed would receive a big reward from the Rebate.
No one knew what the reward would be, though; it was something that was decided by the elder, and the elder hadn't announced what the reward was going to be yet.
But Han Sen was more interested in the blessing than the physical reward. The Moon God might have been present, but there were no statues or creatures around the palace. The creatures that entered Moon God Palace looked awfully cold. The blessing was to be bathed in moonlight, it was said, and no actual god showed itself.
There was no advantage to going to Moon God Palace early. Once the palace opened, you could be blessed at any point until the palace closed again. The amount of blessing you'd receive was random, and didn't depend on timing either.
Sometimes, the last person to go would receive the most blessings. Sometimes the earlier arrivals would receive the greatest blessing. There didn't appear to be a reliable rule for how the blessings were distributed.
After many Moon God Festivals, it was deduced that the strength of the blessing depended on the person.
Normally, the actual Rebate received the strongest blessings. Outsiders rarely ever had a chance to join in, and there was a fairly obvious bias.
Yisha let Han Sen go, but Han Sen didn't think he'd receive much of a blessing. She just wanted him to witness the new elites that showed up every forty-nine years. In the festival, showing off your power was far more important than earning first place. Aside from receiving a bonus from the elders, you'd receive nothing special.
Most Rebate and xenogeneics just wanted to use the festival to gain fame. Han Sen was Queen's only student, and he would definitely be challenged. That was why she mentioned there would be a test for him.
Forty-nine years was not a short amount of time, and there were a few Viscounts that had joined. An Earl had taken part, as well. Ordinarily, they wouldn't kill anyone. But even so, Han Sen was a Baron, and it was difficult to say if he'd pull through.
After they ended the call, Icebird said, "What if too many people realize that you are letting him join? You taking him as a student has soured many of the younger ones. I am afraid they will try to teach him a lesson."
"It is good for the young ones to suffer failure." Yisha smiled.


In the magnificent interstellar era, mankind has finally developed teleport technology, but when trying to teleport, they are not sent to the future, the past, or any land known to men...

This mysterious space is called God’s Sanctuary, where lived numerous unknown creatures. Here, humans will make the greatest leap in their evolution to create the most glorious epoch in history.

"Sacred-blood creature black beetle killed. Beast soul of sacred-blood black beetle gained. Eat the meat of sacred-blood black beetle to gain 0 to 10 geno points randomly."

[Day 133]
Today we decided to ascend back to the surface as we won't have enough time to explore the dungeon with the Athetosea Kingdom issue.
I have spied on the boss room and found that the boss respawned back, however, it wasn't like the one yesterday, but a young Sand Wyvern that was only five meters tall, its skin was way less sturdy-looking and it had a very playful personality. However, it looked at me fiercely the moment I entered the room.
When I decided to kill it, it didn't respawn until two hours passed, where I killed it again. Not wanting to waste more time, I collected the materials and went back to my group.
[You gained 22680000 EXP]
[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 031/250 EXP 3.027.755/110.000.000]
That was a very good EXP, even if it was a weakened version of the boss that I was able to easily kill. Perhaps the dungeon rewarded me as the boss from yesterday was becoming too strong due to killing the nearby monsters and has begun to take control of the dungeon.
This also may explain why the God of Sand and Earth rewarded me as if saying "damn, thanks for that, here, have some liquor" or something like that…
After the boss died yesterday, I've felt as if the dungeon has gained a lot of vitality and energy, some very old and decayed parts began to regenerate and the monsters became stronger and plentiful, the randomly generated treasure chest was also way more, but the traps increased too.
I saved the two young Sand Wyvern corpses on my Item Box and prepared breakfast with Rimuru for the rest of my family.
Today as some of my wives got outside of their tents, I discovered that some had slight changes.
First of all, it seems that Mady evolved for the second time. Mady evolved the first time while she was still capturing and enslaving the criminal groups on the Aquaria Kingdom.
On her first evolution, she evolved into a High Ancient Armored Kraken, which retained most of her original appearance, however it made her shell sturdier and smaller, becoming less rough and more refined, she gained some new tentacles but her facial features remained mostly the same.
Most merfolk would evolve into a "High" version of their original race without many changes as if it were just a way to break their level cap easily. Unless they are given a special blessing, they usually won't evolve into subspecies and become stuck on that High version. There are reports of some reaching their max level already and not being able to evolve, so sometimes they aren't born with the talent.
Mady is not really a strong fighter, even when she took all of the criminal organizations on the Aquaria Kingdom, that's was because they were too weak from the beginning. She specializes in deception and Illusion magic, her tricks and treachery taught her the title of "The Treacherous Kraken Witch". She also had exceptional talent in information gathering and deciphering.
Due to her help in yesterday's battle, she was rewarded with an absurd amount of EXP that quickly made her reach the max level. Although Mady had already given up on the idea of evolving a second time, as she was seeing herself fall behind my other wives, to her surprise, she evolved once again.
In the middle of the night, Mady was granted with the blessing of the God of Deception, Lies and Tricks Loki, alongside the blessing of the Demi-Goddess of Information Xaphy. Even I was taken aback over such a thing, but nonetheless, it made me happy that she has obtained new strength and ways to help me.
Even though Mady hides her happiness behind her "teasing" personality, it was clear has water that she was very happy, and she couldn't hide her smile and enthusiasm.
Due to these blessings, she evolved into an Ancient Scarlet Eyed Illusionist Kraken, a rare variant and an extinct species of Kraken merfolk that specialize on Illusions and mind control, it is said that they are close to the Mindflayer, another species of the Scylla group of merfolk.
Mady's body remained on its same stature but her proportions changed a tad bit, her humanoid body became slim and more refined, giving her new youth. Alongside this, her tentacles became slim and thinner and weren't as thick and invasive as before. Her shell also became very small, resembling a little decoration on her back, which was decorated with beautiful pink and purple colored gems alongside countless tattoos.
Her hair turned pink, while her eyes became scarlet-colored, just like the name of her species says. She had certainly gained a new beauty that was very enchanting… Almost intoxicating. 
Due to evolving while being pregnant, the three children inside of her belly obtained some benefits from this evolution and may have evolved alongside her. Although I still need to confirm this hypothesis, I can confirm that they have become stronger than before and are releasing a strong magic presence.
Although Mady's new evolution is not meant to fight in the frontlines, she has still gained a substantial number of stats that have increased her power to a new level, already being more than three times stronger than before.

After her previous shell transformed into a small and refined shell filled with tattoos and gemstones, she gained a very sustainable boost in Speed and Resistance, however, her Defense was lowered in exchange for this.
Mady also gained a set of [Organic Armor] of her own, which resembled a beautiful semitransparent light pink colored blouse. It came with a small skirt of the same color that connected with her blouse through tiny golden chains, giving her a beautiful and exotic feeling. Her [Organic Armor] was actually very strong and compensated her low defenses greatly, it was even able to withstand the hits of my [Legendary] weapons until a certain point. It will most likely get stronger as she levels up.
Even though she gained this Organic Armor, I will still gift her a new set of equipment. Some more accessories to boost her magic and defenses. I will certainly give her a [Legendary Relic] that fits her whenever I obtain some.
"Good work, Mady. I will make sure to give you a [Legendary Relic] whenever I obtain something that can fit your powers"
Mady gave me a teasing smile as she blinked.
"Fufufu, there is no need for those things, with you at my side, there is plenty of fun already. I always look forward to every night at your side…"
As she said these words, she approached me and grabbed my arms, while rubbing her face to my shoulders in a lascivious way.
"Oh…"
On the other side, Lilith surprisingly obtained the [Blessing of the Demi-God of Stone and Rocks] and the [Divine Protection] of it too. This is probably because of her intense training and the awakening of her Dwarf Bloodline, which gave her several Classes and spells related to the Earth Element.
However, because her human blood is very prevalent, she can't evolve, having a level cap of 999 like every other human I've ever met.
Blessings in humans work differently than demi-humans. Demi-Humans evolve into rare variants related to the blessing, while humans retain their qualities but gain a substantial boost on their stats and gain several new skills alongside classes to compensate. To be honest, blessings still seem to be very strong on demi-humans, as it completely influences their next evolution and makes them evolve into incredibly powerful beings.
Nonetheless, humans still get a lot of compensation, alongside something that demi-humans do not get, which are called [Divine Protection]. It usually works differently with each human, but sometimes if they are fated to be important figures, these gods are very protective of their toy, just like Apollo with Evan, it can even make them intervene and curse those who dare interrupt the fate of their protected one.
Thanks to this blessing, Lilith's appearance changed a tad bit. She gained some clay-colored tattoos on her left breast and the rest of her back. Alongside this, her eyes turned from the former purple to clear brown color, with sparkles of gold. Her body was slightly strengthened and she gained some sturdy muscles on her belly. Her aura became strong and firm, just like a rock.
Lilith has changed a lot once again, she doesn't even resemble her past self from some months ago, she has grown quite fast, most probably being her demi-human blood helping to mature quickly while leveling and becoming stronger.
She obtained three new classes and told me that the blessing may also be related by her defeating the Sand Wyvern Overlord, as she remembers there were some "hidden requirements" on what she obtained, although they weren't clear, she told me that there was just a "feeling" of doing it right.
She obtained the Classes [Mythical Creature Slayer], [Relentless Rock-Shattering Hell Warrior], and [Immovable Stone Mountain Knight]. Her punches packed a very strong force and her body was as sturdy as a rock.

"You have become strong, Lilith"
While saying these words, I patted Lilith on her soft head, while smiling. She responded to me with a happy smile and her adorable brown eyes, she looked almost like a very cute puppy.
"I hope I can be of more help, Kireina"
And this about sums it up for the changes. Gaby and Adelle were quite sad because they didnt managed to evolve last night, feeling left out and even mediocre. I just couldn't keep calm while seeing their saddened expressions, so I went to comfort them. Although Adelle evolved quite recently, and Gaby missed a lot of training due to spending time with our children, which is understandable.
I promised that I would train them personally using Rydia's Super Elite Skeleton Soldiers while using various EXP buffs. With my healing abilities that can even restore Stamina and Rydia's endless summoning, it's possible to do an "endless training" where they will be able to gain EXP for several days consecutively until they hit max level and evolve.
However, this training is usually too harsh and I leave it only to those who are desperate to evolve like some of the rookies that want to catch up with their seniors.
Charlotte and Altani had gained plenty of levels and techniques alongside the same [Mythical Creature Slayer] Class, which gives special skills related to slaying [Mythical] class monsters. This classification of monsters contains those who are of ancient lineages and contain strong blood, like Wyverns, Dragons, Phoenix, Giants, etc.
My children didn't participate for the most part except for Amiphossia and Aarae, as they both helped strengthen my wives' magic or heal all of us. However, just by the shared EXP alone, they gained plenty of levels and by eating the monster meat, obtained useful and strong abilities. Aarae and Valentia may be close to their first evolution, I hope Valentia doesn't become wilder with each evolution, or I will be barely able to handle her…
When we finally reached the surface, we quickly flew towards my Kingdom, where I was greeted by my servants and the townspeople. Like usual, everyone did a festival for my return, with fireworks, music, and dance, alongside delicious food.
Geez… They don't need to do a festival every time I am back home, it was barely three days… I suppose it is a nice excuse for the restaurants to profit more, so it's fine, I guess.
Because the meat left of yesterday's boss was so much, I decided to share a fair amount to my people inside of the castle, as everyone feasted on the delicious and plump red meat of the Ancient Wyvern. Eating such a delicacy would usually cost a fortune on my Kingdom, but because it was a "special" day, I allowed them to indulge in it.
As I devoured on Wyvern's meat, I obtained some new Skills.
[You learned the following Skills]
[Ancient Mythical Beast Slayer]
[Protector of the Dungeon]
[Dungeon Energy Absorption]
These skills were rather interesting, and perhaps the reason behind the amazing power of the Sand Wyvern Overlord.
[Protector of the Dungeon] increases my stats while being inside a dungeon that belongs to me or where I was born, the stats keep increasing until they are doubled.
[Dungeon Energy Absorption] lets me absorb the energy of a dungeon that I belong while I am inside of it, I can use this energy to increase my capabilities or heal myself. That damned Wyvern probably used this skill to heal itself all the time when it was on the brink of death. And should be why when it died, a massive amount of energy was released and absorbed by the dungeon, the monster was most likely using this power to become stronger, without caring about deteriorating the dungeon.
As night fell and the festival ended, I went to sleep on my comfy bed with my wives and children. I wanted Ryo to sleep at my side but he refused…
Oh…
It seems that most of my wives are in the mood… When I made sure that Amiphossia, Valentia, and Aarae were soundly asleep, I went to have some fun with my wives in a separate room. I've been recently taking the lead more often, and they seem to like it.

As the final festival of the human world, it was impossible for there to only be items on the rankings list. Apart from those items, there were still many other items, such as equipment, medicinal pills, materials, and skills.
Zhao Fu looked through the items in the Exchange Stone Stele. He had been completely focused on the festival itself and had not had any time to look through the various other items. Now that he started looking, he was able to find quite a few good items.
The first thing that Zhao Fu bought was a large amount of Spirit Liquid, raising Great Qin's 4,500 or so Trees of Life and 300 Ginseng Trees to 20 or 30 years old. These trees could now produce Fruits of Life and Ginseng Fruits.
Now, Great Qin's first Ginseng Tree had become a Level 2 Ginseng Tree. The World Tree near the Fountain of Life had also been greatly nurtured by Zhao Fu and had absorbed a lot of life essence, causing it to become quite lush. It was nearly 100 meters tall and had nearly leveled up.
The second item he exchanged for was an Evil-Crushing Spear blueprint. Zhao Fu quite enjoyed using Evil-Crushing Spears, as they were incredibly effective against Ghosts and Demons. It was a pity that they were single-use items, and Great Qin had used up all of the ones they had bought last time.
Now that Zhao Fu had bought its blueprint, Great Qin would be able to mass-produce them. This required Talisman Masters, so Great Qin also decided to nurture more Talisman Masters.
The Evil-Crushing blueprint was somewhat expensive, costing 100 million Ghost Points. However, this was not a big deal to Zhao Fu, and he even purchased the advanced blueprint as well.
[Spirit – Evil-Crushing Spear]: The advanced version of the Evil-Crushing Spear. Not only is it many times more powerful than an ordinary Evil-Crushing Spear, but it also contains Evil-Crushing Spirit, which is extremely damaging even against high-grade evil creatures. Only high-grade Talisman Masters can craft it.
This advanced blueprint cost 600 million Ghost Points. Since Great Qin had amassed a massive number of Ghost Points, which would be wasted the next day, Zhao Fu did not feel any pain in his heart at all when buying these things. Of course, he did not use his own Ghost Points.
The fourth item Zhao Fu bought was a formation tool for a Yin Qi formation. It could gather even purer Yin Qi, and now that Zhao Fu was planning on creating Ghost Soldiers, this would be quite important for increasing the Ghost Soldiers' strength. As such, Zhao Fu bought this formation tool to go with the Ghost King Gravestone. This item was not very expensive, being only 50 million Ghost Points.
On the other hand, the final item was the most expensive, costing three billion Ghost Points. The sheer number of Ghost Points it cost showed how extraordinary this item was – it was an army flag with a 12-meter pole made out of metal and a black flag. There was a monster with a snake's head and a bird's body on it, and it gave off an eerie, terrifying aura.
[Ghost Army Flag]: Originally an army flag of the living world that led hundreds of millions of soldiers. After being affected by boundless Yin Qi in the Ghost World, it became a treasure of the Ghost World.
The main effect of the Ghost Army Flag was to help change professions. This flag could gather a massive amount of Ghost Army Qi, and Ghost Soldiers created within the area of effect of this flag would automatically become Spirit Ghost Soldiers.
[Spirit Ghost Soldier]: C- grade Military, Description: An evolution of the Ghost Soldier from a massive amount of Ghost Army Qi, Effects: Receives [Spirit Ghost Power].
This was a C- grade profession, which was higher than even Great Qin's military professions. Right now, Great Qin Soldier was still a D+ grade profession, showing how powerful the Spirit Ghost Soldier profession was.
What's more, this was not the best thing about the Ghost Army Flag – the best thing about it was that there was no limit to how many Ghost Soldiers could obtain the Spirit Ghost Soldier profession. In other words, it could make every single Ghost Soldier a Spirit Ghost Soldier.
This was the item that Zhao Fu wanted the most – with this Ghost Army Flag, Zhao Fu could turn all of the Ghost Soldiers into Spirit Ghost Soldiers.
Now, with all of the Ghost Seals, Great Qin could command 25 million Ghost Soldiers – that was equivalent to a fifth of Great Qin's current force. Apart from the sealing of the Six Paths Demon Images, this was Great Qin's biggest gain so far.
However, because the festivals continued one after the other, there was no time to take care of this. Zhao Fu could only wait until the Six Day Festival was over to start setting everything up.
By now, it was 11 PM, and Zhao Fu bought a few more things. He had spent most of the Ghost Points that Great Qin had gathered, leaving only his own Ghost Points.
The Ghost Festival was about to pass, and the second stage of the Divine Fish Festival was about to begin. The special rewards for this event were the three special cities, which were things that Zhao Fu had long since set his eyes on. As such, he had to continue to work hard and could not relax just yet.
Because the Divine Fish Festival was an individual event, Great Qin's forces, who had labored for two days – especially because of the Six Paths Demon Images – could finally have rest. Zhao Fu understood just how difficult it had been for them to help him deal with the Six Paths Demon Images.
In actuality, out of everyone, Zhao Fu was the one who had put in the most work. Even though he was quite tired, because the Divine Fish Festival was an individual event, even if everyone rested, he could not. Otherwise, how would he be able to earn enough Divine Fish Points to exchange for the special cities?
Time gradually passed, and soon, it was 12 AM. The boundless ghostly qi gradually faded, and the world returned to its normal state. The moon in the sky lost its grayness, and its gentle moonlight shined down on the earth.
Suddenly, rainbow-colored lights fell from the sky, looking incredibly beautiful. Fish danced about in the sky – there were carps, catfish, whales, and all sorts of fish – and happyily swam about.
The entire sky became a rainbow-colored ocean with all sorts of fish swimming about, and countless people looked up, transfixed.
This lasted for five minutes before the fish in the sky turned into motes of light and descended like a rain of light. The second stage of the Divine Fish Festival had begun.
"System announcement! All of your Ghost Points have been automatically converted into Divine Fish Points."
After receiving this system announcement, Zhao Fu looked at the Exchange Stone Stele and found that he had enough to purchase the number 1 ranked city.
However, Zhao Fu hesitated – out of the Celestial City, Sword Mountain, and Holy God City, which one should he buy first?
In terms of stats, Celestial City was the best one. However, Sword Mountain had the highest attack, and Holy God City was good in all respects. After some thinking, Zhao Fu decided to exchange for Sword Mountain first.
Zhao Fu liked things with high attack, and he had Ge Nia, Great Qin's number one swordsman. With him as the City Lord, he would be able to produce a large group of powerful swordsmen for Great Qin.
Zhao Fu decided not to exchange for the best city, but the most suitable city, for now. Sword Mountain was still only a Basic Village, but this was not a big deal to Great Qin – in just a short while, it would become a Great City.


“Ding! Soulbinding has been successfully completed; you will now head to the Heaven Awaken World.” After hearing this, Zhao Fu’s vision darkened as he fell to the ground.

With bleak prospects in the real world, Zhao Fu’s life is turned around when countless crystals fell from the sky one night, which people could use to enter an alternate, game-like world. After obtaining an ancient Chinese empire’s legacy, Zhao Fu uses his intellect and resourcefulness to develop his own empire from a tiny village. However, with enemies both in the real world and in the Heaven Awaken World, he must make brilliant decisions and use creative schemes to survive.

Intense weightlessness radiated through his entire body in the next moment. Tang Wulin dropped from the sky like an object in a free fall. He was immediately startled as he hastily condensed his soul power to control himself.
His soul power had returned, so did all his strength and energy. Moreover, he was completely restored to his peak condition. It felt like he had never used the Millennium Cloud at all. He focused his sight and looked down to discover in surprise that he was high in the sky where the golden trident earlier surged skyward. He was about thousands of meters above ground level. He looked down to the protective shield enshrouding the Great Star Dou Forest set up by Spirit Pagoda below.
His uncontrollable falling body was concealed in the clouds. Tang Wulin calmed his spirit and raised his hand to dial a number on his soul communicator.
… 
"Joust for a spouse?" Gu Yuena looked at Qiangu Dongfeng with an absentminded look in her eyes. She felt a wave of emotions surge into her heart at once. She instantly remembered the scene when she participated in the Sea God's Fated Date Festival on the Sea God Lake.
She could still clearly remember how Tang Wulin had confessed his love for her at the time. She was well aware that she should not have consented to his proposal yet she could not refrain herself from doing so. On the other hand, her heart and love were only truly changed during that very moment.
"Yes. It's a Joust for a Spouse event. In reality, it's a very important event for the Spirit Pagoda. Nana, you should know that our Spirit Pagoda has recently been involved in many cases. It has caused us great troubles especially now that we're under the pressure of public opinion for Tang Sect's earlier attack on us. In order to divert the attention of the public and also ensure that Spirit Pagoda is more accepted by common people at the same time, we made the decision to organize this Joust For A Spouse Festival after careful consideration. The purpose is not to actually find you a husband but we hope to expand the approval of Spirit Pagoda extensively through this event."
"In private, there are many of our Spirit Pagoda's young talented men addressing you as the first beautiful lady in the history of Spirit Pagoda. This statement is also widely accepted. The organization of this Joust For A Spouse Festival is also beneficial for the cultivation initiative of our Spirit Pagoda's younger generation. You can say that this is an act of killing two birds with one stone. At the same time, your exposure before the public is also beneficial for your elevation to an even higher position in the future too."
"Look, that Tang Sect's Sect Master Tang Wulin received so much support by engaging in the Battle of Five Gods just for show with the Star Luo Empire which resulted in even more passivity on our side. Then, our Spirit Pagoda too will also have to produce a new batch of leader personnel. There's no doubt that you and Zhangting are the most suitable candidates. Your good and healthy image will certainly receive attention with this Joust For A Spouse Festival. As a result, you'll receive even more support from the public such that you can resolve the suppression from us being under the pressure of public opinion. I know that this is rather awkward for you but I still hope that you can take part in this event. Your prestigious identity as the spiriter, your appearance, and your abilities will widely garner the interest and attention of the people."
Gu Yuena looked at Qiangu Dongfeng with a deep frown. Thoughts were racing through her mind. "But pagoda master, I don't enjoy being exposed to such attention."
Qiangu Dongfeng said, "Nana, I know that this is a very troubling matter for you. How about this? I shall make two promises to you. Firstly, I thought you've always wanted to study at the library located on the highest level of our Spirit Pagoda? I shall give you the authority to borrow the ancient recordings for your reading at any time in the future. Secondly, I shall promise that you won't be pressured into making a choice in this fated date festival. If you're not satisfied with the final victor then we shall figure out a way for you to reject that person's love profession to you. What do you think about this?"
Gu Yuena inhaled a deep breath. "But, I'm still performing research about the topics on spirit soul evolution recently. I'm afraid I'll run a little short of time…"
Qiangu Dongfeng burst out laughing. "There's no need to worry about this matter. We'll only need you to work together in the effort during the advance publicity of the event and the rest of the matter will be taken care of by the inferior staff. You'll only need to make an appearance during the finale when the time comes."
Gu Yuena considered for a moment before she said, "Alright then. However, I have a condition here. The final victor must be able to defeat me. Only then will he be worthy of becoming my boyfriend."
Qiangu Dongfeng was beaming with smiles at once upon learning about Gu Yuena's consent. "No problem. Of course, the person will need to pass your test. This way, it will be a fine publicity stunt too. Alright, it's a go then."
… 
"The latest breaking news today. Spirit Pagoda announces its plan to organize a large scale soul masters' event at eleven o'clock this morning. The event is unprecedented in history. It is the Joust For A Spouse Festival that is meant for the newly-appointed spiriter Miss Gu Yuena. Every young soul master below the age of thirty-five is allowed to sign up for the competition in Spirit Pagoda. The basic registration cultivation base is no less than six-ringed. Anyone, including battle armor masters and mecha masters, is encouraged to take part. The specific details about the registration and participation method will be announced later by Spirit Pagoda."
"Miss Gu Yuena is the youngest spiriter in Spirit Pagoda's history. Her age is below twenty-four years old and she is reputed to be the most outstanding genius in the history of Spirit Pagoda in over a thousand years. In her younger days, Miss Gu Yuena studied in Shrek Academy and smoothly made her way into the inner court to become an inner court disciple. Upon graduation, she chose to further her studies in Spirit Pagoda. We don't have any image resources on Miss Gu Yuena at present due to her mysterious behavior. We shall wait for Spirit Pagoda to follow up on that matter later. The only information we received from Spirit Pagoda is that Miss Gu Yuena is a powerhouse with at least a Soul Douluo cultivation base. A Soul Douluo less than twenty-four years old. That's impressive, isn't it?"
…
"Have you heard about the news? Spirit Pagoda is going to organize a fated date festival? Have they gone mad? Since when does Spirit Pagoda organize such an event?"
"That's right! Moreover, it is organized solely for a high ranking personnel of Spirit Pagoda. I heard that the person is less than twenty-four years old with powerful abilities. Her name is Gu Yuena, I guess."
"The name sounds a little unfamiliar. She's a spiriter at such a young age? You must be joking, right? Or should we say that Spirit Pagoda is intentionally bluffing the public?"
"I don't think that's the case. Spirit Pagoda is not that foolish. However, I predict that this Gu Yuena must be hideous in appearance. My guess is that they have no choice but to adopt this stupid move because she is too hideous and no one wants to marry her, hah-hah."
"We shall see in the follow-up news and see what are the rules of this Joust For A Spouse event organized by Spirit Pagoda. They should be issuing an official photo of hers by then. What if she's a beautiful woman?"
…
The news about Spirit Pagoda organizing a Joust For A Spouse Festival was spread through almost every corner of the entire continent in just one short day.
Spirit Pagoda's hierarchy was widely known amongst the public. There was the Pagoda Master, two deputy Pagoda Masters, and four great spiriters. This was the most important core force of the organization. At least, it was as such on the surface. Spirit Pagoda had their inner secrets hidden away from people such that no one knew how many powerhouses they had. However, one could tell that it was rather difficult for one to achieve a high rank like spiriter.
Moreover, in the recent history of Spirit Pagoda, almost every Pagoda Master had to go through the process of becoming a spiriter. Gu Yuena was so young. It was apparent that she would become a popular candidate for the Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda in the future.
The matter rapidly brewed just as planned by Spirit Pagoda. The negative news report reduced in an obvious manner after the public became attracted by the Joust For A Spouse event.
Such was human nature. Something that garnered the interest and attention of people was the most important matter for ordinary people. Whether it was the people that liked Spirit Pagoda or not, everyone must admit that Spirit Pagoda was the first organization on the continent at present. Moreover, it was an organization that played a decisive role in society.
Spirit Pagoda's act of organizing such an unprecedented Joust For A Spouse Festival would attract the attention of everyone on a large scale.
On the other hand, the reaction from people was different after learning about the news. Some expressed their support for this event while some opposed it but even more people were feeling uncertain.
The Joust For A Spouse Festival was approved by the government. Soon, Spirit Pagoda began to announce related information. Spirit Pagoda had actually put in a lot of thoughts about running the Joust For A Spouse Festival. They had only announced one part of the related information on every occasion to attract more attention. They were attempting to improve their popularity in this manner for the Joust For A Spouse Festival but also weakened all sorts of negative news about Spirit Pagoda from earlier by one step further.


Following the advancement of soul technology, the humans of Douluo Continent conquered the ocean and discovered two new continents. After being hunted by spirit masters excessively, the soul beasts are nearly extinct. After countless years of lying dormant, the King of the Soul Beasts has awakened in the Great Star Dou Forest. It will lead its remaining clansmen in taking vengeance against humanity! 

Tang Wulin is determined to become a powerful Soul Master. However, when he awakened his martial soul, it was actually a…

Incomparable talent. The battle of the Dragon King. The Legend of our Dragon King hereby begins.

After the attack on USJ things pretty much went the same as the original timeline but I couldn't really take note of it as the Sports Festival was coming up soon and STATUS basically has a mission function now as it gave me another mission.

1 Day Before

(Loading.... Loading.... *DING* If you find a time to reveal All For One's existence and revealing what a danger he is to society not only will you be able to kill him easier but you will also have a choice of 1 out of these 3 abilities to help you: Steal: Allows you to steal ONE quirk from someone or something but they must be alive and if they are not willing then they must be seriously injured.Redirection: Allows you to redirect the force of an attack to decrease the damage dealt to you.Prediction: Allows you to predict attack of the opponent to some degree.)

Back to the present

 'That isn't even a choice really it's so obvious which one is the best.It's steal by far.Obviously in normal circumstances it wouldn't but with such a fat cow like All For One with so many quirks I would have many options that could trump prediction or redirection.As although prediction if trained to a high level could be really strong currently I need immediate power not power for later.The only thing bad about steal is that I can only steal one quirk but it makes sense because if I could steal multiple then even with out All For One steal would be better and if it allowed me unlimited steals then it would basically be All For One at that point.' I thought while getting ready for school.

Today Aizawa announced we would have the Sports Festival in two weeks which I didn't really care about as I already knew the Sports Festival was soon approaching but everyone else in the class room was excited.

2 Weeks Later.

The day finally arrived.Today was the day of the U.A Sports Festival.I got dressed and headed to school.When I arrived we were taken to the area where the first event would be held.Midnight explained the first event quickly it was the same event as the original the Obstacle race.'Ga this is so annoying I don't do well in these things.I'am just going to try for first place so I don't have to do anything much in the cavalry race.I'll basically copy Izuku's strategy but obviously do it before him and at a faster pace."

And so the race began.I started running and after a bit Shoto tried to freeze everyone so I lit my hand on fire jumped and smacked it down on the ground at an angle directing the heat forward.The path in font of me instantly had the ice melt.

I continued to run I was around 5th place but it didn't matter for now what really mattered was when we got to the mine field.

After a bit the robots finally showed themselves and Shoto froze one of them with a big ice spike.'He's always so flashy can't he just be a bit more discreet sometimes.' I thought while running and picking up a big piece of metal that had an nifty handle and could cover my whole body.

Although I was one of the first ones increasing the pressure on my self from the robots it was actually quite easy to dodge them.So that's what I did till the tightrope I had to cross.I tied the metal to my self and then ninja style I ran across the tightrope.It was actually considerably easy due to all the balance training I had been doing.

Once I had reached the other side I was already third place.So I waited a bit till more people came then when I was about 25th 26th I started my plan.Izuku this time didn't do this he just ran across the minefield.'It seems the evolution to One For All allowed him to grasp Full Cowling much more easily.' I thought while I saw him jump around the mine field.Not only him but there was also Tenya running across it,Eijiro charging through it,Shoto freezing everything in sight and Katsuki blasting through.

But what they didn't know was all was futile as I had just finished my plan.Using the metal plate as a shield I jumped on the mines and blasted through the air. 

"WTF!"
"WHO IS THAT!"
"WHAT IS GOING ON!"

Sadly I wasn't that mysterious as the people from Class 1-A immediately recognized me and one of those idiots  shouted out "Oi isn't that Shin?"

Jeez it became a mess everyone was asking who I was and stuff but what made it worse was that I was about to land and the other 5 weren't far behind (Katsuki,Izuku,Shoto,Tenya,Eijiro) so I twisted in mid-air and threw the metal plate at them.

When I land I rolled back to disperse the force posed for a second then turned around and started running away while forming a freezing hell sphere in my hand while shouting "You know they may call us the 6 King of Class 1-A but I,AM THE TRUE KING!" after uttering that sentence I immediately threw the sphere in the air shouting "Burning Heaven Sphere!" and as soon as it was above them and the mine field I turned around saying "Heaven's Destruction!" the sphere exploded spewing flames everywhere exploding the whole minefield and stopping the five other kings in their tracks as they tried to defend themselves from the flames.

I proceeded to walk to the arena.Everyone who watched this scene was shocked beyond words but I added "OOF!I'am tired although that didn't take to much energy I still need to conserve some for the Cavalry battle as a deterrent."I entered the arena and sat down to rest.

Back at the mine field no-one was seriously injured as the majority of the flames were aimed at the 5 other kings to keep them occupied and the flames that landed at the minefield were aimed to hit places with out many people and simultaneously start a chain reaction all across the field.The heroes were impressed at my "precision" but really 60% of it was me aiming the other 40% was luck as I only aimed in the general direction and not all the mines exploded sadly.It would have been more fun if I got a clean sweep.

James died and he got the chance to reincarnate into the world of his choice.Follow his adventures in the world of MY HERO ACADEMIA!!!!!!!!! 

Disclaimer: I have only watched the anime and have not read the manga.Also this is my first book ever.(unless you count essays for school).I do not own the picture used as the cover.

Hadavy was led to a room by Hila and tied to a chair. Hila stood with her arms folded by the side, staring coldly at him.
"Wait here. Black Star will arrive in a while."
Hadavy did not struggle as well. After quietly sitting for a while, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little awkward. He looked at Hila and asked, "What's your Esper ability? I've been roaming around the Shattered Star Ring for so many years, yet I haven't heard of you. Someone like you would not be able to mask the news. Which civilization are you from?"
Hila did not even bother to reply, keeping a passive expression.
Seeing that she had no interest, Hadavy could only cough dryly. "Seems like you don't like to converse."
This time, the door opened, and Han Xiao walked in, smiling. "She's from my hometown; we're both from Planet Aquamarine. Because she was learning under Ames, she only appeared recently to help me with my matters."
"The Dragon Emperor's disciple?" Hadavy was stunned, and the look he shot toward Hila changed, filled with admiration and envy.
Planet Aquamarine, a surface civilization, could actually give rise to people like Hila and Black Star. This intrigued Hadavy.
Ka-la!
Moving his hand, Han Xiao freed Hadavy from the restraints. He suddenly had a thought, saying, "Ok, you may leave now."
Hadavy was given another shock, and his mouth gaped open as he said, "You're letting me go?"
"That's right." Han Xiao smiled. "No matter what, we've fought so many times, and I respect your abilities. This time, I'm letting you go. The bet can be nulled."
"No no no…" Hadavy immediately stammered. "I'm a man who keeps his word. Since I've lost, I must accept my promise and work for you."
"Well, such a strong Super like you would not agree to simply being someone's subordinate in such a manner," Han Xiao replied, half-seriously and half-jokingly. "I might have reached the Beyond Grade A level, but to peak-level Calamity Grades such as you, I have my respect and will not force you."
Hadavy was so anxious his face turned red. He had initially thought that his plan would be successful and that he could succeed in his gamble and join under Black Star's flag. He did not expect Black Star to actually reject him, with the reason so moving that even he could not reply to that.
"I… you…" Hadavy was speechless, unable to voice his thoughts.
Should he just say that he wanted to serve Black Star? Hadavy felt that this was a little shameful, and he could not bring himself to do it. However, if he just walked away, that would defeat his purpose of going there. In that instant, he fell into a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this situation, Han Xiao smiled. "I won't mess with you any further. If you wish to join the Black Star Army, I'll welcome you with open arms. If you are trying to use such tricks to fool me, we can stop the discussion."
Hadavy's face turned red. "You already knew‽"
Upon having his thoughts seen through, he was so embarrassed that he wished to find a hole to hide in.
For Hila, who was standing by the corner with a passive expression, the corners of her mouth curled up into a barely discernible smile.
Han Xiao raised an eyebrow, leisurely saying, "In that case, I'll formally extend an invitation to you. Hadavy, my legion requires your strength. Are you willing to come under my banner?"
Hadavy found it hard to open his mouth at this time. His mouth seemed to be glued shut, and he applied all his Grade A level strength just to unlock his jaw.
"I… I am willing…"
After saying those three words, Hadavy felt as though his entire body had gone soft. The feeling was as though he had just finished ten consecutive gladiator matches.
"Good." Han Xiao nodded with a smile. "On behalf of my army, I welcome you."
Seeing that Han Xiao was no longer fooling around with him, Hadavy finally breathed a sigh of relief, putting down the embarrassment in his heart. "What role do you require me to take?"
Han Xiao thought about it before pointing to Hila. "You can join the Black Star Guards, which is under Hila."
With Hadavy having a well-known reputation, him joining the Black Star Guards would also increase their renown.
"Black Star Guards?" Hadavy stroked his chin before replying, "That's fine, but I have a request. I hope that you will be able to impart some of your experience in achieving Beyond Grade A to me…"
Han Xiao nodded before shaking his head. "Every Beyond Grade A has a different method for their promotion, and everyone has their own path. I'm unable to pass down my experience to you, but what I can do is spar with you, allowing you to feel the difference between your level and that of a Beyond Grade A to give you more inspiration."
"This…" Hadavy shook his head helplessly. "That works as well."
While this was a little different from his expectations, being able to spar with a Beyond Grade A was also what he wanted. He originally loved to squeeze his potential out through battles.
The average person could not give him much pressure, but facing Black Star would remind him of his fear of the beasts when he was young and weak. This sort of fear would be a catalyst for growth.
Han Xiao waved his hand, allowing Hila to take Hadavy to meet his new colleagues.
He now had a total of five guards, of which Hadavy, Feidin, and Hila were the strongest, all high-level Calamity Grades. The other two were Marian and a Pugilist named Deluno. Both of their combat capabilities were average, not extraordinary in the Calamity Grade, but it was good enough to be a mini-boss. In this manner, all his guards were actually elites.
After dealing with Hadavy, Han Xiao called Sylvia over to talk about the expansion of the Black Star Army.
Since he had personally announced the matter of reaching Beyond Grade A, he would have to start making some big moves, increasing his influence, and making more allies in the Star Field. His plan was to make the Black Star Army reach the level of a true Beyond Grade A force.
But before that, there was still another matter he needed to address.
"Sylvia, help me prepare a fleet. I'm going out."
"Noted. Where are you going, Teacher?"
Han Xiao paused, his tone strange.
"Floating Dragon."
…
The countless interstellar news outlets released the article about Han Xiao personally acknowledging that he had broken into the Beyond Grade A class. At its peak, ninety-five percent of the entire news channels in the Shattered Star Ring were occupied by news about this matter, setting off a new storm of public opinion.
Most of the official news sources had acknowledged this matter, making it a sure bet. During this period, almost all the media outlets in Shattered Star Ring were covering the topic. With so many media channels, this was far larger than compared to the rumor and word-of-mouth influence that had spread earlier. As long as the citizens had internet, there was no one that would not have heard of Han Xiao's name!
Similarly, this sensational news had also been shared by the media of other Star Fields, and their organizations had also learned that the Shattered Star Ring had given birth to yet another Beyond Grade A Super!
The player forums almost detonated from this situation. Although Han Xiao's name often dominated the forums, it was because of the players' discussion. That day, even the players from other Star Fields could also see their news channels commenting on Han Xiao's name!
Those belonging to other Star Fields were shocked. At Version 3.0, players had yet to cross between Star Fields. In their eyes, each Star Field was currently an independent server. Now, the NPC character from the Shattered Star Ring had actually 'broken' this barrier due to his fame!
Since the previous versions, Han Xiao had constantly established his main storyline character position in the Shattered Star Ring. The players from the other Star Fields also knew of his name. This wave of public opinion had generated a strong interest within the player base. Not only was Han Xiao filling up the screen in the Shattered Star Ring news channel, his name was also within the forum channels of the other Star Fields. On all channels, he was within the top three topics.
The official news channels also had their own rules, and the various great organizations of the Shattered Star Ring responded appropriately.
…
The Purple Crystal Civilization was extremely happy now.
They had seen the potential revealed by him more than seven years ago and decided to hedge their bets on him. Finally, Black Star had stepped into the realm of the Beyond Grade A, and the Purple Crystal Civilization now had a Beyond Grade A Super just like Klent. Within the seven Star Cluster level civilizations in the Shattered Star Ring, only two of them had such powerful allies.
Their bet had truly paid off!
Furthermore, Black Star had only spent around twenty years to reach the Beyond Grade A rank, with his total age not even being close to fifty yet. With the lifespan of a Beyond Grade A Super, he was considered an infant, and this spoke volumes of his potential.
The moment Han Xiao admitted his promotion in person, the Purple Crystal Civilization had adopted a variety of measures such as adding a huge investment to the Black Star Army as well as putting out more favorable policies and resource conditions for them. They were committed to building a more stable relationship with Han Xiao as an alliance.
At the same time, the Purple Crystal Civilization also issued announcements to the entire Star Field through their media channels.
"In the name of the Civilization, we congratulate Black Star for reaching the Beyond Grade A rank!"
This sort of behavior expressed their attitude to the entire Star Field and conveyed a message that their relationship was extremely stable. Those outside parties who wanted a share of the pie should just save their energy and get lost.
Godora was unwilling to be left behind and followed suit by having Serbia The Fifth coming out to explain Han Xiao's role in saving Godora, as well as emphasizing that he was the recipient of the Golden Gal Badge. Finally, he represented all Godorans in congratulating Han Xiao on his advancement before revealing that he was planning to add a celebratory festival named Black Star Day to thank Han Xiao for all that he had done for them.
Were it any other civilization that had done this, it would have sounded very much like boot-licking. However, Godora was different, as their ties with Han Xiao ran extremely deeply. Be it the eradication of DarkStar or the Discrimination Transformation Movement, it had a huge impact for their entire civilization. Thus, a festival to thank Han Xiao was nothing extraordinary.
Purple Crystal and Godora quickly took their stand, and to jump on the bandwagon, hundreds of civilizations began to congratulate Han Xiao. This was as though they were attempting to form a trend. Most of these galaxy-level civilizations were half-allies that had chosen the Black Star Army, and they had allowed the army to set up bases on their planets. At this moment, they scrambled to speak up, as though afraid that others would not know they were in an alliance with Black Star.
The behavior of these civilizations was actually understandable. Purple Crystal was the boss of this Star Cluster and thus got the ball rolling. The other civilizations jumped on the bandwagon in order to have a good relationship with this Beyond Grade A faction, but this crazy chain left those on the sidelines speechless and shocked.
The entire Colton Star Cluster was basically standing behind Black Star, shouting and congratulating him. An entire Star Cluster was celebrating for one man!
In such a situation, those on the sidelines could not even reply due to their shock.
The reputation of Black Star in the Star Cluster was so shocking!
Even when the other Beyond Grade As had advanced, they did not receive such a resounding celebration!
At this moment, the entire Star Field remembered the name Black Star. Just like the other four, he turned into an icon of the Shattered Star Ring in everyone's minds, the Fifth Beyond Grade A Seat!
However, it was at this juncture that unexpected events started to appear, allowing the public opinion to skyrocket to unpresented levels.
The Tyrant Heber and Star Pupil Psyker both openly made a declaration of battle toward Black Star!
Heber's reason was because of the secret war. Since the Purple Crystal also possessed a Beyond Grade A now, he would personally act. Because both Beyond Grade As were fighting for different sides, there was no problem with that.
However, Psyker's reasoning caused a huge outburst.
He openly admitted the existence of the Evolution Cube, announced that Black Star had taken the Evolution Cube from his hands, and requested for Black Star to return it!
The Evolution Cube is now in Black Star's hands? Two elder Beyond Grade As are challenging a newborn Beyond Grade A‽
Those two pieces of news caused a stir.
The entire Star Field burst into an uproar!
The Beyond Grade As… were going to fight openly‽
How long had it been since that last happened!
…
Just as the major organizations and those on the sidelines were shocked at all the ongoing news, Han Xiao had taken his spaceship and arrived on Floating Dragon Island.


What do you do when you wake up and find yourself inside the very game that you love? 
What do you do when you realize you that you have not only become an NPC - you have even been thrown back in time to before the game even launched! 
What will happen when our protagonist's two realities coincide? 
Han Xiao was a professional power leveler before his transmigration. Using his past life's knowledge, Han Xiao sweeps through the universe as he prepares for the arrival of the players. This is definitely not your typical transmigration novel.

Kaito looked past his life

"These are nothing more than short frames of my life. They are short snips of what has yet to come. Isn't my life just like any other. Easily replaceable."

Kaito's life is like ours. Just a small part of the great multiverse. We are like grains of sand. Small and powerless against fate.

"Is this why cultivators wish to against heaven. To be free of Chains and Restraints! I wish to do the same. If I can't do it by myself I have wives, children, friends, disciples...people who will help me. One day heaven. I will have my- no, our family will have a happy ending"

...

Kaito entered the clean room. The chairs and tables were put back where they used to be and seemed much cleaner. The lady looked fine however she seemed much more paler under the moonlight.

Kaito shut the window and smiled towards the lady

"It's cold isn't it?"

The lady couldn't see his smile but found his voice to be very soft despite his whimsical appearance with his white mask

Next to the lady's bed was a similar bed. White sheets and clean pillows were presented.

"Geeze, i'm not sick but i'll still use it."

Kaito casually jumped onto the bed and relaxed. The lady still did nothing except she pointed to the screen across her bed.

Kaito looked at what was presented to find the TV had already been set up as the videos could all be seen in order. Season 1 Episode 1

Kaito walked back to his bed and as the advertisements flashed by he offered the girl a potion. 

"This will enable you to talk at best. It only works when your around me, okay. How else can we have a conversation"

The lady hesitated as her hand slowly moved forward towards the potion, eventually grabbing it. She took a deep breath as she downed the hold potion.

"ahua..."

All that came out of her mouth was a cracked voice and indistinguishable sounds.

Kaito grabbed some water out of his [Space Ring] and offered her a cup

"Drink"

The lady took the water and chugged the whole thing down. Some water dripped down her chin dropping onto her clothing however it wasn't noticeable. 

"auhauh... he...hello"

The lady coughed and coughed until her speech was finally heard

"Hello, testing 1,2,3."

Kaito congratulated her for her efforts

"Good job you know how to count"

The lady kept quiet to Kaito's sarcasm as she looked down in a daze

Confusion, nausea and joy were the drifting thoughts that were a small part of her current emotions.

'What's wrong with being childish'

"O-Okay let's start...it actually works"

Before the lady's happiness reached the peak Kaito interrupted

"Only when i'm around. Your voice will turn back into nothing but your body is not too heavily injured. You could probably go on trips if you had a friend to help."

Kaito and the lady began to binge watch Hi Society. Constant discussions and opinions could he heard as they got deeper into the plot

"Ughh, they should just hook up"

"He's a gud guy"

"What about the girl?"

"She's...hot"

These thoughts were thrown back and forth until the time was barely peaking at 4:00 in the morning. Kaito and the lady had just binged around 8 episodes of the series before feeling tired.

"No spoilers okay"

"Fine"

The lady confirmed Kaito's wish has he opened the window preparing to leave

"You didn't tell me your name yet have you?"

The question threw Kaito off as he realized for a full 6 or so hours they didn't know each other's name. They talked and talked  without knowing what to call the other person

Kaito smiled "I wish I could say 'not saying' but you'll one up me. Say it at the count of 3."

""1""

""2""

""3""

""...""

"I knew you weren't going to say anything"

The lady said her thoughts out loud while Kaito smiled and laughed but with his mask it made it seem eerie.

"Fine, fine you win. You can't tell anyone or search my name. I trust you, Kaito"

"Kaito...Kai,to."

The lady whispered the name to herself until she felt comfortable and replied

"Mallory."

As Mallory searched for Kaito she found a closed window. His voice still lingered

"The School Festival"

...

"Mallory."

Kaito popped another lollipop into his mouth as he thought of her name. The sun was rising and the School festival was starting around 12:00. 

Kaito realized that despite wanting to meet Skaoi he didn't know where she lived. 

"Oh, well"

Kaito shrugged it off and waited for school to start and watch the show begin.

...

In Vladisk there was a period of time known for it's evolution of creatures.

Legends passed down was a portal that lead to greatness and had the potential for humans to rise above all beings.

At the cost of this the south was terrorized by beast like Monsters.

The end result was humanity was caught off guard leading billions of humans to die without an intact corpse.

Bandits, thieves and betrayal was known to be the norm. 

People eventually rose to the top as they slowly analysed the corpses of Monsters. 

Many people now ignore this danger and place the problems to other people, the military.

They are still researching the portal.

But this is only a small part of the scheme of life.

...

Boards were everywhere.

Tents and appealing designs were a small part of what Kaito could see

The stands were in order allowing guests to explore the school while being intrigued by the Destruction Era theme

Boxes, uniforms and yelling was heard across the school as students tended to their designated spot.

These schedules followed a rotational period where students were designated a certain time period before being free and allowing to wander around the school.

For Kaito... he was left with no responsibilities, only having to report to the teacher his attendance. 

"Even my class can't trust me as a random bush in the background apparently"

Kaito laughed at his thought back to Earth

'Wouldn't that boy enjoy such fun being in play. How is he coping with school. Li Ning you would be flirting with some girls and bring them to the back of the gym while Andrea...would you continue showing your force smile.'

Kaito saw some well dressed people standing at the front of the school gate hold a bunch of fliers most likely compiling visitors to see certain places and more alluring places.

The school festival had many departments. 

Some would be interactive games where students and visitors would play games in order to win prizes that were most likely made by students

There would be food stalls at the front to interest potential customers with the smell of delightful food. For more hardcore food from the Destruction era students would make food such as bread without moisture allowing it to have a shelf life of over a 100 years or candy that gave energy at the cost of it's horrible tatse

Another one is the one Kaito's class was doing, a play. The class would re-enact certain scenarios from textbooks or legends that was generally popular and presented them to the public.

These were the most general places at the school festival with the food being very affordable as the food would not have a desirable taste but replaced by experience

As Kaito looked for more places he saw something out of place. A purple tent.

The top of the purple tent had a golden ball while the curtains were adorned with yellow fibers. 
 
There was no sign like the others and Kaito couldn't understand how this related with the Destruction era.

Something seemed desiring to Kaito as he felt something telling him to go there

Kaito moved closer and closer towards the tent

Closer and closer Kaito eventually approached the tent's curtain

As Kaito opened the curtains he found the style to be very similar to a fortune teller

The place lacked the 'mystical' objects such as a crystal orb but only consisted of a table covered by a purple cloth and a man.

The man was very stylish as he wore a very fitting attire. A dark blue hair was fitted with a purple fedora. He wore a suit similar to a tuxedo with long pants all purple. 

The man gestured for Kaito to take a seat as he smiled.

Kaito sat on the chair that was offered but the words the man said agitated Kaito

"Kaito from the Lost World, Earth?"

The protagonist, Kaito discards his last name to embrace a new life and rid of the misfortune he has cause. 4 unfortunate deaths surround him just for living. With the whisper of a clown and the teachings of his master this could have been avoided, so why did you kept quiet?

With the death of his master he rejects his humanity with the alluring voice of the Pierrot "Receive power at the cost of mortality" "is it your humanity that refuses to accept?" "Take it". The laughter of insanity, chuckle of madness and the echo of a lunatic. 

Watch as he dons a mask to hide his emotions only to eventually shed the false veil of cruelty. Witness his acceptance of the truth.
