The Best chef on Earth, Known as the Golden Hands due to his unmatched skills in cooking and monstrous talent has died.

After waking up he finds himself in the hands of young women. Knowing he had died, his only thought is that he had reincarnated.

But the world he reincarnated in is the famous Food Wars anime where chefs are highly respected and praised.

What will the Former Golden Hands chef do?? will he distance himself from cooking? or will he prove that he is the best in the field? Again.

After waking up he finds himself in the hands of young women. Knowing he had died, his only thought is that he had reincarnated.

He arrived at the world of Shokugeki no Soma.

Disclaimer: I don't own Shokugeki No Soma or any official series that will be mention in this fanfic, this is just a fan-fiction, and I do not own the cover art either.

It’s never easy being reincarnated. Everyone only thinks of the perks, second chance on life, a better possible future, and hotter girlfriends. But, no one ever tells you the downsides, being eight again sucks. Watch as Rhys Yamagatta gets a new chance, a once pathetic thirty-year-old line cook gets sent to a new world. Where he will get the chance to battle the best chefs that the world has to offer as long as he can survive through school first.  

Totuski Academy has only ever had one goal, to produce the best chefs the world has ever seen and Rhys will be the best or die trying.

Lin Hui, your typical ordinary people, suddenly crossed into another world. Moreover, he found the new world was the Food Wars! A world where chef reigning supreme.

The history of the world had a drastic change since a large meteorite came to the Earth and exploded once it entered the atmosphere. Smaller pieces of the meteorite hit the actual ground, destroying towns and cities; while a fog developed in the air. No one understood that the fog was more powerful than the physical meteorite hitting the ground and changing the soil particles, which led to drastic changes to all plant life. The survivors could see that the grounds had many changes and any animal or plant near the changed grounds seemed to develop different features as well.
They mostly focused on the impact of the meteor hitting the ground as the fog soon dispersed into the clouds and soon forgotten. It was not until the rains fell, including places that were not used to rain, that people started to remember the fog. It did not rain record falls that time, just that it seemed to rain everywhere on earth at the same time, creating a spectacle as it has never happened before. Soon the skies cleared, and the people tried to make sense of what had occurred.
Months later, it happened. At first, people got sick with what seemed like the flu or the common cold. No one really died or anything, just that after recovering, their bodies had changed drastically. Drastically, as in their bodies either improved or were made weaker. They noticed that healthy fit people were the ones that had improved their physical strength whereas people who were originally unhealthy or sick, only got worse.
Modern science could not properly diagnose the situation, but blamed all the changes on the meteor as there were now new particles in the air that people were breathing in. These same particles also appeared in the food supply and eventually in the changed humans. The scientists concluded that a new mutation had been the cause after many hours of studying people's blood work and food supply.
Babies being born during this time were being born with the mutations. In the name of science, many scientists performed inhumane acts of experiments on people that had showed mutations. Including babies and their mothers. All of this were being done in the dark with the governments in full support. Soon after, it was leaked that all sorts of experiments were being conducted with the governments backing them; the masses went into total anarchy.
There were no simple protests. Rioting and looting became the way of life during this time. The masses could not be controlled properly; especially if they had an understanding of their new mutated powers.
The world leaders, during the time that everyone else were being mutated, had hidden themselves and had eaten only processed foods that were made before the changes. Thus, making them and their retainers some of the weakest humans on the planet, physically. This led to many of the rioters to question whether the old world leaders were fit to continue leading the new world and their changes.
During this era, many fights led to battles, that eventually led to wars. Old weapons were soon made obsolete as the mutated people had stronger and tougher bodies. They soon got used to their new powers and formed their own groups that later turned to new nations. The strongest of the mutated were people who could control elements freely. These became the new leaders while the most abundant people were those who could work with their hands.
The world had changed, but people's mindset were still settled on how it used to be. The new societies that sprung up were reminiscent to their old governments; however, with all the new mutations, it became difficult to just keep an elected president when very charismatic and strong mutants wanted to take control. Eventually, the strongest ruled the new territories and tried to implement their old ways of life, like their old technology.
When the world turned chaotic, many old technology had been lost while others became obsolete with all the new mutations. Even though that was the case, people still remembered driving and flying. During this time, new technology was born with the acceptance of all the mutations. Afterwards, people started to remember other things that they missed, like art and music. It took centuries for the new nations to settle peacefully and centuries more to try to emulate the old societies.
As all this was happening, no one seemed to pay attention to the fact that it was not just the humans, plant life and any food supply that had changed, but that all animals were also evolving themselves at a very noticeable rate. Not until they had formed their own groups and societies that people started to notice them which later led to human vs. beast wars over territory and food. But that was not until much later in history and to be told until next time.
**********
People nowadays are all born with some sort of inherited mutations, passed on by their forefathers, to the point that they are no longer even called mutations at birth but powers. These powers do not change, but they can evolve into stronger powers. All known powers are documented and well accepted in society, whereas any new or never heard of or even totally different powers from their forefathers would be considered a mutation.
Elizabella was soon escorted to a private room when she reached the Palace and waited for the Royal Physician and his nurse. The Royal Family had asked Elizabella to bring her last physical documentation to see if there had been any changes since then. Before she had come to live with her aunt, her body had gone through a great change due to the stress of her dead family.
Many tests were done on her and concluded that she had gone through a mutation that only appeared on her tests if she was stressed. Otherwise, her tests appear normal.
In Elizabella's case, she was born with the common powers of "Production" and "Destruction". Many of the commoners have these powers and only some have elemental powers. Only the Royal Family have evolved elemental abilities, like the Crown Prince is known to have "Flames" and "Earth" just like his father the reigning King.
The mutations that appear on Elizabella's tests are a bit overwhelming that she has been prescribed to never become upset or else her powers could get out of control. Her powers are so overwhelming that they have dubbed one of their names to be "Creation", on the count that she can create even living breathing beings with her hands; however, this power requires a lot out of her that she doesn't ever use this power.
Her second mutation was dubbed "Void", on the count of anything she touched, whether living or not, would completely disappear and turn to a pile of black feathers. This one frightened the researchers that they asked that she try to never get angry again.
Since her mutations, another thing has changed about her body and that is that she can regenerate her body at a much faster pace that it can even be seen healing at a glance. She has always been able to do this since young, just that it is now faster, making others believe that she evolved her regeneration powers.
As a child, her regeneration power were not noteworthy to the point that it was deemed unmentionable. However, Elizabella believes that she had been misdiagnosed or mislabeled since her regeneration power feels terribly similar to her "Production" and "Creation" power. The only real difference is that "Production" and "Creation" is normally done outside her body while her regeneration is inside her body.
She had heard that her grandfather had similar powers to her and, in fact, are inherited powers. However, she never had the chance to speak to him about it since they lived in different countries and he passed away when she was young.
The tests went smoothly and Elizabella hoped that they did not find anything about her "mutations," since they never showed up on her tests before unless she was stressed. She sighed when they did not find anything abnormal during the tests and hoped that they would not find anything with her blood tests.

In a post-apocalypse world, the world has finally resettled back to societies. The catch- the evolution chains had sped up. New species and new races have emerged since the world was turned upside down three thousand years ago. Old technologies have been lost, and new technologies have been found. The world has changed and so have the survivors' descendants. Mutations in their DNA have led to a world filled with superhuman powers. The strongest of the powers have always been the elementalists. All powers are inherited with few deviations in the bloodlines.

The Crown Prince of Glear is a student of the Royal Academy, where his classes are in the Government Department. He leads a normal life going to and from school with his princely duties on the side. His life turns stressful when his father, the King of Glear, does not have long to live. The Royal Court has deemed that the young Crown Prince must wed before the king passes.

Aphra "Ginny" Harkins is a scholarship student attending the Royal Academy in the Kingdom of Glear. She is widely known as "Director Ginny" for her artistic productions in the Arts Department in school. Everyone knows that she is from a lesser nobility that her maternal grandfather formed. She leads a peaceful life in school, even though her status is the lowest. Peaceful, that is, until she gets a decree to marry the Crown Prince of Glear.

Apparently, her maternal grandfather had saved the late King of Glear. In gratitude, the late King gave him a noble title and declared that their grandchildren would rule the kingdom since their children were already grown and with families of their own. Two rings were formed to symbolize their engagement agreement, and Ginny wears it around her neck with a necklace given to her paternal great-grandmother by the Queen of Edalelia. Why the Queen of Edalelia? Let's just say that "Ginny" has many secrets... including one with the Crown Prince of Glear.

Excerpt:

"Do not fear, I will make sure that I find the most expensive one (ring)," said Maxen (the Crown Prince of Glear) as he puffed out his chest.

"It does not need to be the most expensive, just that you have to have a story or a reason to getting that ring," responded Ginny.

"Oh, do not worry. Leave everything to me," he smiled brilliantly at her as she seemed to understand his hidden intentions and smiled back while giggling to herself.

"Heh! Once we divorce, that shiny expensive ring will be going to the Royal Vault. You will never see it again!" thought Maxen.

"It was easy to manipulate this naïve prince into buying a ring from my own wears. Even if we divorce, he still would have paid me for buying that ring. What's more, the publicity for a Crown Prince buying from my store will bring me more revenue!" thought Ginny.

Years later, while looking at her ring, "This ring really does suit my wife best! It belongs on your finger, only!"

"Hmph! If we had divorced back then, I would have bribed you for this ring. It was a ring that my late father had commissioned for my late mother. It is too sentimental for me!"

*****

This story is about two people forced into a relationship that both didn't want until forming an alliance to "Marry now, Divorce later." About letting go of the past, redemption, and ultimately, love.

Hi Sir,
Attached is my History Essay, The WGP.
Thanks.
Sincerely,

 ----
Advents and Effects of the World Governing Powers
The World Governing Powers (WGP) is an organization that made up several key figures of the most powerful nations that remained in power after World War 3.
At the end of the World War, the mysterious murders of several of the world's most powerful and influential world leaders which were spearheading the war efforts on various fronts suddenly left an awkward scenario for the various nations who were still fighting.
Those who managed to ascend to the heights of President and Generals in the gap that was made from the murders of these men, peace suddenly became the desired answer.
The world was too tired and too weak to continue fighting and the terrible effects of their war and an organization were developed from the pooled representatives of the remaining nation.
It was here that the World Governing Powers was established.
The World Governing Powers originally became the only functioning government that ruled over the entire world. Never has there been a time that the world united together and made great progress in the development of the world.
With all the technologies both from government and the remaining private sectors, the World Governing Powers then declared the Void Period which would be the dates that would not be recorded in the Julian calendar but would be counted as the Void Years.
In summary of the many promises that the World Governing Powers made during that year, they vowed to make the Earth as habitable, peaceful and progressive as it was prior to when World War Three began.
The development of the World Governing Powers was also necessary to resolve several key problems that the then world faced.
The Problem of Food
The first and most difficult issue that had to be resolved was the lack of food which various nations suffered from. Once the war was over, the territorial scavenging of nations that somehow supported them ended and meant that without stealing or conquering, they had to make do with what they had. Because of this, most other concerns be it territorial, political, historical and other claims to have ownership over a patch of land or sea in order to acquire to have a place for farming, raising cattle and to take advantage of the land's natural resources.
The task to ensure food had forced the WGP to consider extreme actions to ensure that the production of food would be maximized. Several countries and the boundaries in former Latin America, Africa, Europe and other parts of the globe had to be restructured. Talks that continued on until the first decade of the Void Years were made to finalize the recent structure and boundaries of these nations.
In order to further balance, it out, a mass repositioning of the cities had to be done as people were forced to move to wherever the WGP deemed necessary. This was of course to provide more labor for the farmland areas or on factories that needed to have people to man it.
Because of this, some nations were forced to accept foreigners from all over the globe. This, of course, led to the massive growth splurge of Asian, Caucasian, African and other lineages to become common on all countries while prior to the World War, the racial and ethnical divides were more clearly seen. Ultimately, this strategy to divide the world and redistribute them had shown remarkable and effective results which drastically lowered the daily death toll from starvation and poverty.
The Problem of Population
Even with the plans of reordering and redistributing the people around the world, the general condition of the world continued to remain in a critical state. The need to clean or revive locations that were bombarded with weapons of mass destruction was so urgent as its effects had started to spread. The WGP needed more people who would be tasked to work and clean these areas to quarantine the spreading of radioactive materials, diseases and other airborne or waterborne chemicals.
Aside from cleaning up these places, the manpower needed on several nations which had fertile grounds that would later be used to feed most parts of the world were also growing higher and higher. As more countries demanded more food, the manpower that the world could presently utilize was already low and if the growth rate remained as it were, then the continuing damages left by the war would cause more and more deaths.
It was then that the WGP had to force governments around the world to fund and raise test-tube babies in order to keep up with the supply. This generation would later be dubbed as the Lab Generation. The Lab Generation were boosted with faster growth but came at the cost that their life-spans would end at the age of sixty and seventy unless medical treatments were made to prolong. The Lab generations who managed to work and serve the WGP would later receive funding to ensure that they would live as long as an average human.
In reality, an estimate of about thirty to forty percent of the entire Lab generations were test-tube babies. The main issue was that the governments around the world could not provide for these babies. And thus, it was enforced for all families to adopt or raise sons and daughters if their income was at a specific range. This was regardless of their marital status. Single men and women who received a substantial amount were forced to adopt children and raise them appropriately.
The other main issue regarding the need for the population growth was the surrounding ideologies and culturally appropriated traits on the view towards child-rearing. At the peak of Post-Modern ideology, many people had already abandoned the need to start a family and many were in fact, married couples who would never have children. The enforcement of the governments with the prodding of the WGP was met with a lot of backlashes. The Pre-War Generations were generally resistant to this decree while the Void Generation who grew up knowing that they needed to make a difference were more open and accepting.
But as the science was clearly revealed, there were practically no one on Earth who remained without a child when they reached the age of 27.
However, having a one-child per family was still not enough as several nations on other parts of the globe were facing extinction and thus more and more people on other nations were sent either by force or by mutual agreement.
The problem was that people who had homosexual orientations or who identified as any gender that were not heterosexual by nature nearly occupied about 40% of the population of the world. And because of that, most homosexual families would only adopt the bare minimum amount of having one child.
The WGP launched a global propaganda which later became a movement that challenged the ethical and moral responsibilities of everyone. The very belief and mindset on the acceptance of homosexual relationships were all challenged and the media quickly followed suit of promoting the benefits of being in a heterosexual relationship. The very arguments that the world had long supported were all quickly challenged, ridiculed and received attacks from all medical perspectives.
Studies stating how homosexuality is classified as mental illness resurfaced. The WGP spared no sense of grace and continued with its adamant tirade to attack all gender groups who could not biologically and naturally consummate and give birth to a child.
Rumor has it that the WGP later developed more sexually transmitted diseases that was far more terrifying than AIDS. In the Void years, it was said that over 30 sexually transmitted diseases emerged that specifically targeted people with homosexual relationships.
Despite the rise of many groups to counteract this blatant accusation delivered by the WGP and supported by the local governments, ultimately, the groups which were dubbed as the LGBTQ++ during the Post-Modern era later succumbed to the immense persecution, threats, and bullying they received.
Various religious groups were funded by the WGP and the governments of each nation and used religion as a tool for attacking and further ostracizing people.
Even the Void year historian Joseph Fas concluded that history repeated itself. "The same scorns, and limitations imposed on all who identified as these genders returned with a more powerful and hateful form. Just when you thought religion was finished due to the challenges and victories that those of this community had garnered, the government and the people which supported them abandoned them. Some will say it was necessary. But I say it was cruel. The millions of people affected and the hundreds of thousands who would later commit suicide were all buried and only later revisited when governments received their sovereignty over their lands and people."
Even up to now, the scorn and attacks against the non-orthodox genders continue as the common people have yet to move on from the brainwashing attacks that the government and the WGP did. And as religious groups naturally received more support at that time, the looming fear which these religions imparted continues to remain a painful thorn to those who are inclined to this sexual orientation.
This later urged the expected phenomenon that we call "Going back to the closet."
The Problem of the Environment
The effects of the Third World War were devastating on the environment. Weathering conditions across the world were becoming more and more random as droughts started appearing on countries with heavy rains, and snowfall started impacting countries near the equator. Death tolls due to the changing weather also spiked up. Heavy rains and strong winds also caused radioactive materials to travel to different locations infiltrating water supplies.
India, Egypt and other countries in between Africa and Asia were so damaged that it was only until the end of the first decade of the Void years that people could live with a life expectancy that was in line with the general population. The WGP's main bulk of efforts were done to remove nuclear radiation or any other environmental remnants from any weapon of Mass destruction, the drive to do reforestation, and the protection of wildlife.
Several countries also developed means and ways to help the WGP in terraforming Earth once more.
New Great Britain's weather-controlling technology were unveiled, Americas Miscellaneous technology also aided in utilizing nanoparticles for regrowth, and nearing the end of the second decade of the Void years, the newly formed Pangea also revealed its eradication technology which was a radioactive-free technology that was useful for terraforming damaged mountainsides.
Germany's Aqua tech also proved useful in reviving the sea life through the Coral Resurrection projects, and the Aqua clean drive which are continually used to remove chemical wastes that were dumped on the ocean.
Most environmental hazards were removed by the end of the Void Years and it was said that the teeming forests on every continent were even denser than it was back on the 1900s.
The Problem of Possible Wars
By transferring all military technologies to the World Governing Power, the World Governing Power had the resource and the men to practically end a nation should it want to. The surrendered weapons of mass destruction were used to warn any nations who were getting out of line after the war. Due to the heavy losses and the atrocities that several countries had performed against each other, terrorist acts funded by an enemy country were rampant and the World Governing Powers had to use several show of force to establish their place in the new world.
The political upsets that led to several revolutions also became a priority. Several countries had wanted to oust the WGP from their power and supplant it. But when the World Governing Power had issued a mass execution on one of the countries supporting this movement, the remaining countries immediately stopped from their acts.
Celebrated Void Year historian Joseph Fas of the New Great Britain concluded that the period of the Void Years naturally involved mass killings, show of might, threatening acts of abandonment from the WGP's support and research for scientific was seen as an abuse of power from the nations who wanted to replace the WGP as the new world leader. But to the rest of the world, who wanted to get back up on their feet and just return to a habitable state, the World Governing Powers was seen as right.
It was said that the World Governing Powers had killed over seven million at that time period. Several minor wars and skirmishes also occurred at that time period when several nations who refused to lay down their arms and allow the WGP to take hold of all their scientific studies attacked the WGP's main headquarters in Poland. But the armies of these nations were easily decimated when they revealed the gruesome technology that the WGP later banned the Americas from developing, the unveiling and usage of Hellfire Technology had basically burned the invading armies to a crisp.
The WGP had promised that they will return authority and power to most governments once the situation of Earth would stabilize. It was on the second decade of the Void year that the WGP announced that they will stop meddling directly with all nations but only remain as an organization that will continue to watch Earth and ensure that no wars that would become as treacherous as that of World War 3 would ever happen again.
Nearing the end of the Void Years, the majority of nations voted for the continuing existence of the WGP in order to prevent the rising super-powers from attacking and harassing the smaller and budding nations.
The Problem of Balance
The WGP concluded that the world ended up in the current post-apocalyptic state due to human greed and nationalistic pride. They did not give out any historical and political statements but stated that people simply thought themselves to be better than the rest. In order to maintain this balance and to ensure that nations would rely on each other, the WGP imposed the Technological Possibilities law that would be abided by every nation.
Each nation would have monopoly of the use and production of products unique to their own technological possibilities. This ensures that nations will need another nation to provide for a specific product. Although the goal of making "all nations equally rich" was not met, many of the weaker nations were making strides and strides in their development and thus, the dividing perception regarding the rich first-world and second-world countries and the developing third-world countries slowly diminished.
Each nation now had a technology and product exclusive to them and apart from several nations that belong to the Rotting Lands of the Americas and other nations which had been barred of trade, most countries which were considered to be poor and belonged to the "third-world" group rose economically and could even be a nation that the major super-powers such as the Americas or the New Great Britain would dare not engage recklessly with.
In an effort to unite the world, the WGP also funded the growth and development of several online games. The logic was that online games provided a platform where people all over the world could meet and participate. These small organizations that were tasked to create a game that would be suitable for the masses would later produce the most awaited games in all of history. The Piercing series and the Generals are among the fruits of this.
Because of this, computers that were classified as "high-end gaming" devices became a natural commodity as private corporations were forced to cheapen their prices.
 Conclusion:
 The WGP is an organization that was established with well-meaning intentions. Though they were extreme and oftentimes brutal, the effects and lifestyle that our present age enjoys could not have been made possible with the very bold decisions and movements made back then. Sadly, this did not unite the world all the more. For in our present era, we live in a times dubbed as the Age of Distrustful Nations.
What originally was meant to unite us and make us all equal, further divided us. In my opinion, the WGP made a mistake. It wasn't just greed that people struggled with. They also had the issue of contentment. Now in an era where everything and every country is almost equal, it increased the paranoia of the stronger nations and made the weaker ones desire for more.
The WGP which were supposed to be the guardians of this Earth became the object of jealousy for the entire world. Will peace ever be made possible? I doubt it. Unless greed and envy are removed from the Earth, more secret organizations, similar to the one currently challenging the WGP would definitely surface.

An alien race invaded the Earth on June 6, 2128. At the midst of this war, many nations allied with the alien threat and the war nearly wiped out the rebelling humans of the planet. At the edge of mankind's survival, the United Nations Army launched its forces to eliminate the immediate stellar threats that loomed over Earth.

General Seeker Carlean, commander and leader of the mission, risked and gave his life to destroy the immediate stellar threat. The battle was won though Earth lay in ruins. Perhaps mankind will live to see a few years of peace before the alien threat returns to wipe out their existence.

At the immediate aftermath of the stellar battle, the fallen Seeker Carlean awakens and finds himself at aged 17, living the peaceful life he lived 16 years before he died.

So begins a new game in the battle for humanity's survival.

Anthapis was a dubbed as the city of golden grains. What iron was to Solon and gold to Nirvana, grain was to Anthapis. Just outside the city, lush and wide farmlands sprawled for as far as the eye can see. Every year, Anthapis supplies most of the grains of Castonia. The citizens of Anthapis and even the serfs were happy and plump. 
But the people in front of Ivan wore grim expressions of hunger. These were the same fat swines who attacked him nearly a month ago. Last time they did not listen. Now that food prices were high and supplies were low, they were listening to him. A growling stomach really does open the ears. 
"I do not want violence with my brother. King Timothy is kind and going against him truly crushes my heart. Oh how cruel it is to pit brother against brother and blood against blood" Ivan put his palm on his chest and acted hurt. He had practiced this pose probably a hundred times last night. "But King Timothy's policies are hurting you my people. Anthapis was once the grain basket of the Kingdom. Now look at the city. Starving people are everywhere. Grains are scarce. The people are hungry. We are suffering" 
Ivan stepped forward and raised his fist in the air. He breathed deeply and cleared his throat. 
"King Timothy is focusing on war. His courage is admirable. But his wars are making us suffer. The people of Castonia are starving. You are starving. I cannot bear watching this anymore. Because of this I will personally write a letter to King Timothy and beg to him to end the wars and focus on the suffering people instead. If he won't listen then I would have no choice but to fight and convince him!"
His rhetoric must have been bad as it was met with silence. Some people even had the audacity to laugh at him. Ivan just bit his lips and endured the humiliation.
"We know you just want the crown. Your words now are different from your words last time. But it's alright boy. You're right, we are starving and we are yet to hear from King Timothy. We demand to be fed" A muscular man from the crowd said. From his clothes and posture Ivan discerned that he was a landowner and not a serf. 
"I myself ain't caring about the damn politics. Just hurry up oh dear prince. Fix your bloody beef with your brother and feed us already!" a woman shouted. She was met with howls of the same pleas. 
"We want food!" Another man said. He spitted to the ground "We've toiled all year in our farms and paid the right taxes. We've bathed ourselves in sweat. And now the nobles are hogging all the food. Damn them. What little silver we have can only buy us thin broths. What little coin we have can only get us a few weeks into the snow season. Do they want us to starve? And the King is doing nothing!"
Ivan smiled, inwardly as he cannot show that he was pleased with their growing distance from Timothy. These people were landowners after all. They were the ones affected the most by the shortage of food. Serfs were fed by nobles but landowners were on their own. 
 This was just the start. Soon all of Eastern Castonia would chant his name against Timothy. Although some nobles will probably die in the ensuing chaos, they would have the honor of dying for him. 
He turned a look at Helios. He was still not sure if the old strange man's name really is Helios. They just agreed on the name. He respect towards Helios had grown for the past weeks. At first Ivan was worried that Helios was just another of Timothy's spies.
Helios turned out to be useful- very useful in fact that all of the current disorder in Eastern Castonia were all because of him. He was also well-connected as almost all nobles knew him. He was able convince the nobles to hoard grains in just a short time.
But what Ivan liked the most about Helios is that the old man doesn't want anything in return. He was just like Ivan- bent on destroying Timothy. For a powerful man to desire nothing but Timothy's downfall, Helios was weird. Ivan even suspects a little that Helios was Ashkara's blessing to him. 
Ivan again feasted his eyes upon the enraged populace. They were still angrily murmuring. 
"That's it for today oh good people of Anthapis. May the Omniscient be with us. May King Timothy have mercy. I will inform you of his answer soon enough"
Ivan bowed and strode towards Helios. The Wismarine guards moved to protect him from behind.  
"Nicely done" Helios said with a smile as Ivan was being escorted by the Wismarines from the platform. 
"Thanks to your guidance" Ivan smiled back. "All of these are because of you. After I take the throne, I shall reward you handsomely. I know you want nothing but such service to Castonia demands for a reward"
Helios did not talk and just smiled at Ivan. He started walking. 
Ivan hurried his steps to catch up. For an old man, Helios was fit. His hair had shades of white and wrinkles dotted his face. But Helios' body still emitted a certain aura of virility. 
"Where are we going now? Personally, I want to rest. I'm tired" Ivan said
"Oh you'll rest. In fact you'll sleep in the best bed in the city tonight" Helios put his hand on his medallion and fiddled with it. The thing's design was unique and had a certain beauty about it. Ivan had the urge to ask Helios about the medallion but he prevented himself from prying too much. 
"First we need to meet with someone" Helios said
"Someone? Where are we going exactly?"
"You'll see King Ivan. Patience. A lot of things we gain just by having patience" 
Ivan shrugged and just walked with Helios. The Wismarines followed behind. As Ivan walked in the streets of Anthapis, he couldn't help but notice the stark difference between the current condition of the city and its condition just a few weeks ago. Vagrants now line the streets, begging for scraps of what little food the city has. Those who still had food were walking aimlessly. It was as if the city had died. 
Ivan felt a pinch of pity and guilt. They were the ones responsible for this. But he shook his head soon after. No, he thought. He was slightly responsible for the famine but it was Timothy's fault all along. If Timothy hadn't stolen his crown, then Ivan wouldn't have been forced to do this. Timothy took what was his. It was just right for Ivan to take all measures necessary to take back the crown. 
Ivan eyed Helios who was still fiddling with his medallion. There were still many things he doesn't know about Helios. The old man just popped out of nowhere. He felt lucky that Helios was his ally. 
"May I ask you a question?" 
"Question. An answer is what you want then. Answers are terrifying King Ivan for some truths are too dangerous that they are better buried under lies. Ask anyway. I'll try to answer your question but be reminded of my warning about truths"
Ivan ignored his unusual blabber. Ever since he met Helios, he had always been like that. 
"Why do you hate Timothy? My own hatred for him is understandable and just. But you seem to have a history with him"
"I don't hate him" Helios replied "I got nothing personal against King Timothy. I'm just doing my job. A man's got to do what he was tasked to do"
"And what is your job? It's strange that someone as well-connected and powerful as you still have to work for someone"
Helios chuckled. It was an  unsettling chuckle that brought shivers into Ivan's spine. 
"My job? Oh Your Majesty Ivan. You don't want to know. Trust me, you don't. It's one of the truths that is better buried under lies. The important thing is that we're working together as allies. Am I wrong?"
Ivan swallowed but was slightly annoyed. He really wanted an answer. He looked towards Helios, committed on having his answer. But Helios talked first. He pointed forward. 
"We're here King Ivan. Like what I promised, you will sleep in the best bed tonight"
Ivan traced Helios' finger with his eyes. What he saw in front was a huge house in the center of the city.  It was the house of the Governor of Anthapis, Earl Vernice. 
"You also have connections with the Governor?" Ivan smiled and shook his head. He was pleased "You never fail to surprise me Helios"
Helios again didn't talk. He just trudged forward with his old legs. 
Ivan followed. He was too pleased to mind Helios' disrespectful behavior. He grinned a little knowing the importance of Earl Vernice's help.

He enjoyed the city's splendor from the balcony of the palace. It was dazzling, worthy of the Gods' envy- if they even exist. 
He felt something soft and warm embrace him from behind. Arms wrapped around his belly. 
"What are you thinking about?" she asked while sniffing his back. 
"Would you believe me if I said that I was thinking about you?" he turned around and feasted his eyes upon her pretty face. 
"I wouldn't" she shook her head and grinned. 
"Why?"
"Because I've fallen for your sweet words many times before and I will not fall into your trap again" 
He whispered to her ears, "What if I say that I'll give you the world?"
"Cliché" she smirked
"What if I say, that I'll give my life for you?"
"Too tragic" she laughed
"What if I say that" he rubbed his nose against hers "I will love you with all my heart"
She smiled "Then I'll have no choice but to fall for your sweet words again"

Note: The cover is of course not mine

It is the year AC 5017, After Crisis, and humanity is on the decline.  It has become the age of beasts.  Through radiation waves, normal animals on Earth were able to obtain several gifts and attributes.  They gained intelligence, sentience, strength, extended their lifespans,  and gained terrible elemental powers.

Beasts of overwhelming power came to being, wolves that casted thunder, apes that obtained the power to wield fire, numerous beasts of the elements had risen.  After the crisis, humans and beasts became entangled in wars and battles amongst one another.  The beasts desired revenge for an eternity of mistreatment of humans and loss of territory.  For human beings, they slowly found that their position on food chain had begun to drop.

Humans found that their weaponry, guns, rifles, bombs, no longer had any effect on these new beasts.  Humanity found that they too are able to use the energy of the elements that the beasts have obtained, it simply took a longer period of time for the radiation effects to manifest within humans.  Alas, it was too late for humanity, they went into hiding as soon as the radiation began to take effect on them. 

The last two thousands years were spent on researching the radiation effects on humans.  The greatest scientists at the time were able to narrow down the elements that different human beings were born with at random.  Fire, Water, Thunder, Earth.  In special cases, humans may be born with the ability to use multiple elements or even rarer elements.

Scientists have called this new elemental energy Primordial Energy, with the unit being measured as Prim.  Every human being born after the Crisis was able to to obtain primordial energy level.  Human beings were a progressive species, they grew stronger and stronger the more resources they obtained.  They simply had to obtain resources and train in order to grow their energy levels.  Scientists have dubbed humans with this energy, Primordials.

Humanity has now been tucked away in the northeast corner of what was once the United States of America.  The cities of old, Washington D.C, Boston, New York City, they are all long gone.  The single last foundation of humanity encompassed what were the states of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.  Giants walls akin to the Great Wall of China were erected in order to deter the attacks of beasts.  The surviving human race call it the Last Bastion.

The Last Bastion consisted of several pocket cities that surround the core city, Hope City, they dubbed this establishment of cities the Hope Federation.  The government of the Hope Federation managed all the pocket cities and upheld the ultimate goals of the people. Beat back the beasts and expand! Take back what once belonged to humanity!  

With mankind's constant struggle there did not leave much room for entertainment.  Forms of entertainment such as sports became a remnant of the past as humanities sole focus became survival.  It was only until the year 4000 that a form of entertainment was developed, a separate digital space where two individuals could fight without causing physical harm, dubbed the Vortex System.

The Vortex System completely digitized an individual's body and allowed them to project a digital form of themselves into a separate space, called the Vortex.  The goal of the Vortex system was to strengthen and prepare the future youths of the Last Bastion for combat against the beasts. 
 It provided a realistic setting for battle without the the consequence of injury or death.  Millions of citizens within Hope federation were constantly tuning into the Vortex system to watch the strongest primordials..

Every participant was able to customize their avatar's appearance according to their desire.  However, they could not change their physical body metrics.  A person would sign up with a pseudonym and participate in a one on one battle to determine the victor.  There were two vortex systems present, one amongst the academies, and one amongst the general population.  Matchups were randomized, however one could not move up a rank unless they fought someone of greater standing.  As soon as a match began, the participant would have to select what weapon they use.

Two avatars stepped up within an arena setting within the Vortex System. A black-skinned youth appeared, he had dreads and was dressed in tech pants and a hoodie with the sides cut off showing his arms.  Azure Wind,  a wind element user who wielded a bow as his weapon.  Azure Wind was one of the top one hundred combatants listed within the Academy Vortex rankings.  He was famous for his relatively quick matches and perfect accuracy in combat.  By the time one heard the plucking of his arrow sound, they were already down for the count.  Azure Wind, or his real name Zeph Green was part of Nova Academy.  An easily recognizable person within the academies.

The next avatar that appeared within the vortex system was an avatar that was wearing a black cloak.  The avatar's hands were bandaged and their neck and face were also bandaged as well.  It was a ghastly site to behold.  Smoke ushered this avatar's entrance into the vortex.  Black Fortune.  He entered the battle with his weapon of choice, Black gauntlets.

"Why does this guy continue tormenting himself... he already has racked up ninety-eight losses in the past three years. How does a guy with such an awesome looking avatar have such a crappy record."  One male viewer said.  The general populace was able to participate in chat and vocal rooms of the vortex battles which added to the general entertainment of the population. "I think I too would cover my avatar's face up if I was this pathetic."

"Maybe you should praise him for his determination.  Maybe he wants to hit the big one oh oh" chuckled a female viewer.

"What good fortune for Azure Wind" laughed another viewer, chuckling at his pun.

"For Chinese New Year, I don't want red packets, I just want to fight against Black Fortune for any easy win." laughed a Chinese viewer.

"Avatar Azure Wind, Rank 97, and Avatar Black Fortune, unranked, have entered the Vortex" stated the female system announcement. "Selecting stage by random please stand by."

The vortex swirled and the arena soon disappeared being replaced by a grassland.  "Grassland stage has been randomly selected."

"How fortunate for Azure Wind" laughed the viewers.  Azure Wind was a complete advantage being in the open field.  There were no obstacles to hide behind when it came to his arrow projectiles.

"BEGIN!"  yelled the system.

THWISH! THWISH! THWISH!

Within seconds several arrows were flying at Black Fortune.  These arrows were imbued with the wind element making them fly significantly faster and caused more damage than normal arrows.

Black Fortune ran to his right in order to dodge the arrows only to face an onslaught of more arrows rushing in the direction he moved in.

"Looks like this will be a piece of cake for Azure Wind." lazed the viewers.  The viewer room was in full blast at how easy this matchup was for Azure Wind.  One couldn't ask for a better situation.

Black Fortune continued to dodge the wind element arrows until he found a gap in the space.  Black Fortune made a dash for it towards Azure Wind.  However, he noticed that Azure Wind set up a trap for him.  An arrow was flying at Black Fortune. Azure Wind had sent a delayed arrow amongst his flurries to trap Black Fortune.

"He fell for it!" the chatroom exploded.

Black Fortune duck and slid to the ground in order to dodge the incoming arrow.  Sadly it was all for naught, Black Fortune saw another arrow coming right at him between his legs.   When a critical hit occurred with enough force to extinguish the user, the system would declare a victor.

Woosh!

"HAHAHA! Ouch! Azure Wind sure is ruthless, he definitely got a critical hit there!" laughed the viewers.

"Victor! Azure Wind!" the system announced.

While the crowd was still laughing,  a young man left the vortex room within his home   He had brown hair, fair white skin, and brown eyes.  He also had a large grin on his face.  His name was Sage Arrau.

"Damn, another loss, I should have planned out my strategy better.  That damn system, if only it gave me a better terrain choice, how am I supposed to compete with an archer in the open field... Maybe I won't be able to get a win without using my element.  Ehh... I can only blame myself for not being strong enough, ninety losses in a row now..." spoke aloud to himself.

"Grandson, you loss because you got caught up in Azure Wind's pace, you let him dictate the fight." came a voice from down the hallway

A tall elder walked into the room, he had a white beard entered the room.  
"Maybe it's time you admit defeat grandson.  You only have one more chance left until you lose the bet."

"Not yet, Grandpa Claud.  In a battle, he who reveals their element first will be the loser.  I want to be able to win a match without relying on my element."  smugly replied Sage.

Sage stuck out his hand, A black orb emerged from his palm.

    Lukas Jönberg is  a run away living  on the street  in the  capital city of Friedolin Löpfe In Deutschbourg part of the United division . He  picks the pocket's  from  the military  mostly, but especially those of the  ranks  between private and sergeant  who patrol the city for any westerns or easterners. As he was looked through  the jailcell a old friend was looking back to him with a smile    to understand how Lukas  got here we need go back to  March 13 , 2008  . When the earth was peaceful and everything was prefect and a teenager  Lukas was  sometimes  skipping school so he could pay for the bills because his step aunt was a  compulsive gambler and was constantly losing the money needed to pay the bills. He doesn't know his parents name or how they look for that matter. Usually a sleepy  and laid back person Lukas never cared that he didn't know his  parents plus thirty-six percent of the population didn't even know their parents anyway so what's the big deal, he just wanted to become an adventurer.                                                                                                                           What changed in Lukas life was something that changed the world the United empire declared war against the United division. For what you ask?  Nationalism, economic gain or other reason inevitably the cold wars began. The United empire never trusted  the  division because to them, they where just a noisy nation formed  after  WW2  and fighting stupid wars against the Republic of Cina. They wouldn't tell you that but what simply  happened was a bomb  test failed to launch, later dubbed the 10-5-2 incident the United empire and division were always testing bombs and one failed testing  caused the waters of the Atlantic ocean  to be radioactive and  some deaths to the United empire citizens but it wasn't deadly for  humans  because evolution made every person have abilities so they could have   cured the water but  the pandemonium  and propaganda spread all  around the world as countries  like Deutschbourg and the other countries on the continent had tensions between them reach a boiling point  and a war started.                                                    Meanwhile Lukas with his friend Leandro Rieder were at Saelmere Citadel, jay walking and  just  talking about their abilities Lukas can generate electricity, while Leandro can  control Electro Magnetic fields. Lukas views Leandro like  a little brother or a hype man  who never stops talking about him . 
 "Bro  we should just start a electronical store you would get more money more than cleaning cars and sweeping up parkways," said Leandro,
 "I don't know how control my abilities that is  why," said Lukas his mind wandered and thought back about school and he asked ", where are  the notes for last weeks  history class" replied Lukas . Suddenly a loud boom was heard behind them

Humans  evolution has  caused abilities It  common to see a human spiting  poison  at birth or able move steal  but with these abilities   human's have become evil  all counties are warlords  and self obsessed for their own  territories . Follow Lukas as he wants to be adventure the world

Deng Long finally returned to the base Hangar after the EMC crew (Engineering and Maintenance) had managed to pull his Core Unit out of the desert with the aid of multiple quad rotors helicopters and transported it back via air. 

Only then did he find the group still in their Combat G suits resting and eating delicious looking Western food from one of the stalls in the Hangar's canteen.  They were manned by a penguin chef too! But on closer inspection, it seemed as if that one penguin chef was manning all the stalls in the Hangar's Canteen.  (They could see him running from one stall to another to cook the food and very agile at it too.)

"Ah Deng Long, I already ordered for you. Mushroom Chicken Chop Burger...ehh but your fries seem to have been seized by Furi." Se Lang informed him as Furi entered proudly behind him with a packet of fries on his paws and acknowledged the entire group's presence.
 
"Continue eating. It will be a casual debrief." Furi said as he shamelessly consumed Deng Long's fries. "What are you looking at Smelly?"
 
"Se Lang told me that packet you are holding belongs to me...?"  Deng Long did not speak in an accusing manner in case Se Lang played a prank on him, but Furi who was enjoying his fries did not look pissed at all. Instead, he was delighted that Deng Long mentioned it.
 
"So? You want them back? Do you prefer to pay for the transport expenses for carrying your Core Unit from the desert and back to Hangar instead?" Furi threatened Deng Long with a lofty stare while the latter looked at him blankly, speechless.

"Then, you should be glad I am just taking these instead of your burger." Furi looked him dead in the eyes while grabbing more fries from the packet to stuff into his mouth.
 
"Nope, nope. It's my treat." Deng Long replied in an unwilling tone before he sat down with the rest of the group to enjoy his burger before Furi changed his mind. The food that the entire group received were complimentary with the ticket they had paid before entering this particular game. 

After the last of the fries vanished into his mouth, Furi started to commence the debrief. At the same time, Mari came in holding a suitcase, and the Pandawans knew it had something to do with the debrief. All of them had their eyes at Furi to give him the attention he needed while munching away their food.
 
"All of you succeeded in completing the tutorial mission. You are now promoted to…  'Still a Smelly'."
 
*Cough* "What he meant to say. Every one of you has now reached the Rank of Private as accordance to Star Cross Heavy Industries standards." Mari interjected as she opened the suitcase. Inside were eight formation badge patches with a picture of half a Panda Head and half a robot head. The robot head resembled the Core Units they used.
 
"From this point on, all of you are official Test Pilots for the Star Cross Heavy Industries!"  Furi commanded Shi Hui, who was the nearest person to him to come forward.
 
"Congrats." Furi shook her hand and slapped his paw on the right side of her shoulder. The Shadowy Swan cultivator gave a little groan at the pain of the slap but noticed that Furi had placed a formation badge patch on it.
 
"...For reaching the rank of Private. NEXT! " Furi commented and did the same for the rest of them. The other Pandas in the EMC crew and administration staff observed them for a while before continuing to return to their own business in the canteen. After the informal ceremony was done, the Pandawans continued to partake their food as Furi left Mari to explain the rest of the debrief since he had more pressing matters to attend.
 
"This is the most important part of the debrief, so listen carefully. You all have been rewarded Star Cross Points for the completion of your mission. While Master Jin did once say that less is more, he felt a need for this game station to have its own currencies. Previously, the Pandamonium App wallet only showed the amount of Panda Medals you had acquired, but this had changed." Mari said as she turned the suitcase she was carrying into a virtual console as picture presentation was the easiest to understand.

"We temporarily added Raid Points to retest the market's reaction to it and it returned with positive results. Therefore, we figured this is the right time to introduce currencies to the three major games that we have in WunderPanda. The Pet Card Arena, The Orc's Spinning Top Blades, and Niu Lang's Supa Robot Wars." Mari explained as the rest took their phone out to check the wallet. 

As usual, with every new dungeon or service instance, there would be an upgrade to the Pandamonium App. The Pandawans knew the update for this service instance was one of the largest ones due to the update size when they were waiting for the release of WunderPanda instance. (Thank goodness for free and fast wifi in Jin's instances.)
 
The cultivators noticed the three new currencies, as stated by Mari. Card Points, Spinning Points and Star Cross Points as well as a symbol next to them, which turned out to be a currency converter. For example, converting Panda Medals into a certain number of Star Cross Points. When Bu Dong tried pressing on it, he was brought into a new screen where there was something like a graphical data to show the fluctuations of the amount of conversion.
 
"It's a bit of a demand and supply kind of thing,"  Mari informed them, stating that if a lot of people tried to convert Panda Medals into Star Cross Points, the amount of Star Cross Points they get in return would be reduced drastically. 

Should the masses, however, do the opposite at such a time, by converting Star Cross Points Points into Panda Medals, they would receive a significantly higher amount of Panda Medals. As if that was not enough, Jin had placed 'measures' to let the cultivators spend more money to obtain more points in the various games but never Panda Medals. 

They had to earn those medals as they remained the main currency. Jin cleverly did not implement a method to convert Card Points into Spinning Points, or anything of the sort.If they want other points, they have to buy them or use Panda Medals for their source of conversion (It's all a ploy to earn more money by Jin!!)
 
"You all have received 10,000 Star Cross Points for completing the objectives. Jing Ru and Deng Long have received an extra 5000 Robot Points for killing the two Core Units." Mari said, and the group immediately chattered among themselves loudly.
 
"See! I told you they would get rewarded for destroying those two enemy core units!" Se Lang grumbled with a bit of regret in his voice. It was apparent Jia Ying and Bu Dong were also quite unsatisfied with the results.

"Yeah yeah, fine! You win your bet." Yue Wen reluctantly took out a five yuan change and slammed it on Se Lang's hand. Seeing how the commotion interrupted her debriefing, Mari cleared her throat loudly to get the attention of the rest again.
 
"Now, if you are done chatting, follow me. I will send you to Man Man, the Head of EMC. He will tell you more about how you can customise your Core Units."  Mari said, and that immediately made Bu Dong and Deng Long extremely excited. They were the first to stand up to follow Mari and Deng Long brought his food along since there was no much time to eat.
 
Man Man was directing a few of his crew members at the centre of Hangar when he was interrupted by Mari and the group of newly promoted privates. He sighed momentarily before he thanked Mari for the handover.  

"Alright chumps. See that central block of concrete hanging at the top of the hangar? We are going there. AND NO JUMPING!"  Man Man shouted before any of them had any wise ideas to jump up to their new destination. They quietly followed Man Man up the elevator reaching the central block, which was dubbed the Hangar Control where the EMC Boss later introduced it as an area for the pilots to redesign their core units.
 
He booted the computers in front of them via a central terminal and the concrete walls around them retracted upwards, revealing a continuous glass panel that showed the workings of the hangar around them. It gave them a good clear view of their Core Units from Hangar Control as compared to them looking upwards from the ground up. 

"The interface for reconstructing your Core Units is simple and intuitive. The AI that you encountered in the Core Unit's cockpit is the same as the one that will assist you in designing your robots."  Man Man explained while giving them a short tour of the stuff they have in the Hangar Control. But both Bu Dong and Deng Long had already dashed to their individual work stations and placed their phones as instructed by the terminal workstation.
 
Instantly, a rotating hologram of their Core Unit was visualised in colour with various options for them to select. Since both of them were sitting side by side, Man Man used them as an example. He asked the rest to gather round and used Bu Dong's terminal as the teaching console.
 
"You can see here. We have a few parts for you to change into for free. Call it a free service for reaching the rank of Private. There is no way you can win any battles if you just use the Core Unit. Now that you have reached Private rank, the queuing times affect you guys as well. The previous mission was instant for you guys because it was a tutorial." Man Man said as he clicked on a console option and it revealed the parts available for them to choose.
 
There were only a few parts unlocked, but Man Man told them that there were daily and weekly missions which allowed the cultivators to earn more Star Cross Points as well as a chance to get new parts for free. "Call it part of the reward. You clear a mess for us, we supply a fresh new part for free." Man Man explained.
 
"Does that mean if my right arm is destroyed, I have to buy a new part again?" Deng Long asked, and Man Man laughed loudly.
 
"We are not that evil, we will repair the part for you for free, but should you wish to sortie out fast, you will need to either pay us Star Cross Points to expedite the repairs or use an entirely new arm as we repair that old arm." Man Man said as he leaned its body on Bu Dong's chair when he explained the intricacies of the Supa Robot Wars.

"Speaking about sortie, the AI will guide you but standard ammunition would be provided for your missions. Should you wish to purchase nonstandard ammunition like incendiary rounds, there will be cost of that too. I can only say that the higher your rank, there will be discounts for repairs, parts and anything that cost Star Cross Points." Man Man added in his explanation to show that Supa Robot Wars had many hidden mechanics to be discovered.

"Alternatively, you are allowed to sortie without the arm, but you will be impaired offensively. I am not saying you cannot do that, but it is not recommended to do that. And before any of you have that crazy thought, there are no achievements coupled with going out with less than 100%. Unless you want to brag about you being crazy and stupid enough to fight with only one arm, I guess then, by all means. Go fucking ahead." Man Man answered Deng Long and showed them that there were durability levels on each particular part.
 
"Let's assume that your unit got obliterated by the enemy and you're left with nothing. We can replicate the entire unit again for a fee. Consider it something like your resurrection procedure in your world and it might not be cheap depending on the type of parts you were using. Worst case, we do offer some level of ...'accommodations', especially for you Pandawans."
 
"Can you also use a new Core Unit and start over again instead?" Bu Dong interjected his thoughts aloud and Man Man nodded his head.
 
"This is not a very fantasy based game like the Pet Card Arena.  This is meant for serious gamers, and a certain level of realism is applied to ensure that Newtonian Physics remained relevant. Although here's a tip since you guys are cultivators. You can get out of your cockpit and make a ruckus to destroy the enemy robot. Use that information however you like. It's free of charge."  Man Man chuckled with a low voice and let them be for a while.
 
"I guess this is not my type of game at all." Shi Hui shrugged her shoulders and sadly, Jia Ying nodded in agreement. Yue Han thought it was a lot of fun and something he could get immersed by it but lamented that the cost was immensely prohibitive.
 
"Ah, cost. Yes. Technically, you can play this game by just spending the ticket price with your Panda medals because you will receive a Gacha box each time you buy a ticket. That Gacha box will give you two parts of various rarity. That means you have a chance to obtain a rare part which will help you." Man Man added.
 
"The ticket also allows you to play three missions before you need to get another ticket to continue playing. Unless, you wish to get the premium ticket…" Man Man seemed to be whistling when he said that to attract both attention and ire from the entire group.
 
"And there will be limited event missions like cooperative raids and perhaps even battle royales for this. Of course, those have yet to be implemented in the game. Consider this as version 1.0 " Mari who happened to enter the Hangar Control to hand over the physical license which Bu Dong and Deng Long applied for at the start of the game.

It was a rather sleek looking green metallic card with their rank imprinted as well as the squad they were currently in.
 
Squad #167.
 
"Even if you cultivators decide never to play Supa Robot Wars ever again, the Squad number is a way to say thank you for being part of Star Cross Heavy Industries. You all will always be remembered as Squad #167." Mari smiled at them. Out of the blue, Jing Ru decided to get a physical license too, and so did Yue Han.
 
"I suppose you will be sponsoring some of the game tickets if you want me to carry you." Jing Ru tapped on Bu Dong's shoulder and winked at him. He sighed and smiled gently, which prompted Deng Long to look at him shamelessly.
 
"Dare to prey on a kid to finance your gaming addictions? You are a police officer, you should be better than that!" Se Lang folded his arms and stared at Deng Long.
 
"ARGGGH FINE! I guess that means more overtime!" Deng Long sighed as he pressed on a button that caused a series of glass walls to rise up, surrounding his terminal workstation. "Now Please! Excuse me! Let me enjoy my robot making!"
 
With that being said, Jing Ru and Yue Han joined them at the terminal workstations while the remaining four decided to leave the area and try out the other rides.

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

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

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

(13/8/2020) Author's opinion: At this point, this book had hundreds of chapters worth of content which I had planned for a long time. If you wish to undertake the book and appreciate the story, please read it up till chapter 300s to understand the sudden twist in chapter 100s.

i will admit that during that time, I am still a young budding author and could have expressed the story better in the early hundred chapters. But I assure you the story development is worth it.
