Desainer kepala SI Corporation yang terkenal, Xiao Yu, masih muda, menjanjikan, dan penuh dengan bakat. Tetapi siapa yang mengira bahwa surga akan cemburu dengan kejeniusan kepahlawanan ini ?! Setelah bangun dari kecelakaan mobil, dia tiba-tiba terlahir kembali sebagai hamster!

Zhang Yun is a gaming hamster. For a special mission in the Lost Kingdom, he has been a hamster for ten years. To his surprise one day, the game suddenly announces that the server will be permanently going offline just as he's about to complete the mission…

However, at the moment the game goes permanently offline, he actually brings the game system to an alternate world. He also brings along everything in his inventory, including his hundred million summoning scrolls.

Uh?

For a ten-year hamster to become rich overnight, what worries does he have at conquering the alternate world?

Ah, I'm sorry. You're mistaken. I don't want to fight. I just want to be a silent hamster…

Zhang Yun has a habit of hoarding stuff in games. For the sake of a special quest in the game 'Lost Kingdom', he's been hoarding all kinds of items for ten years straight. Just as he's on the verge of completing that quest, suddenly there comes an announcement that the server will be taken offline.
And then, at the moment of shutdown, he's transported into the game world, along with everything in his inventory... including one hundred million summoning scrolls.
Huh?
Ten years hoarding all this loot... every challenge rendered moot?
Ah, but please, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not looking for any trouble--just a quiet little hoarder, nothing more...

An unlikely team, Snake and Hamster, put their heads together to escape the pet store on the only day of the year there is no staff; Christmas.

For the demonic hamster, Medicine Master's building was already a place it was very familiar with. In addition, it had received the help of its master, Senior White Two, so it could easily avoid the formation which guarded the building and simply walk in from the front door.
After entering the door, the demonic hamster yelled, "Bed-wetting-hang, come out for a fight!"
Due to the formation isolating the room from the outside, before entering through the door, the demonic hamster did not sense the auras of the Sixth Stage True Monarch White Crane and the Fifth Stage Young Master Phoenix Slayer in Medicine Master's building. In all honesty, the hamster wasn't really a qualified demon of the Netherworld, but due to its identity, it was destined to be above ordinary demons.
The demonic hamster's body was small, but its voice was not. After a loud shout, Song Shuhang and the other people in the room heard its yell.
The corner of Song Shuhang's mouth twitched fiercely.
"Looking for you?" Young Master Phoenix Slayer asked.
"Bed-wetting-hang?" True Monarch White Crane stared strangely at Song Shuhang.
"Bed... wetting..." Su Clan's Sixteen blinked.
Shi looked dazed.
Little Cai looked puzzled.
Song Shuhang rubbed his face. "It's this guy again, and he even dares to throw dirt on my name. I'm not going to spare it this time."
This time, if I can't make it call me father and beg for mercy, my surname isn't Song!
The demonic hamster's power was at the peak of the Fourth Stage. Song Shuhang was slowly catching up with it, being also at the Fourth Stage. There was no longer a gap of a big realm between them. As such, Song Shuhang felt that even if he did not use the three-headed, six-armed form alongside Ye Si and the virtuous lamia, he would still be able to face the demonic hamster.
"None of you have to do anything, I'll go deal this little mouse myself," Song Shuhang said as he jumped out of the window.
When he jumped out of the window, the 'Sage Seal' was happily covering him with layers of dignity, making the image of its master appear much greater.
The Sage Seal even faintly drew out the light of virtue in Shuhang's body, casting a light golden radiance on his body.
❄️❄️❄️
At this moment, from the perspective of the demonic hamster.
After stepping into Song Shuhang's residence, it couldn't wait to scream out the words of "provocation" it had come up with after thinking for one day and night. It dared to guarantee that as soon as it shouted out the word "bed-wetting-hang", Song Shuhang would definitely be filled with anger and come out to fight it.
Recently, the demonic hamster had made great progress in swordsmanship, and it was preparing to transcend its demonic tribulation in a few days and ascend to the Fifth Stage. Before it ascended, Senior White Two had given it a task, which was to bring a fox demon (♂) to Shuhang.
So, it took the opportunity to ready itself and have a bout with Song Shuhang as well.
It wanted to let the stupid Song Shuhang know that its swordsmanship today was completely different from how it was a few days ago. A scholar who had been away for three days had to be looked at with different eyes—this was what it was talking about!
Its plan initially went without a hitch, and it could even be said to have been quite successful.
After saying "bed-wetting-hang", Song Shuhang couldn't wait to jump out of the window to find it.
Young people, tsk... the cultivation of their mind is far from enough.
However, before it could even sneer at Song Shuhang's 'cultivation of mind', it suddenly felt that an oppressive force had enveloped it.
And, the source of that oppressive force... was unexpectedly Song Shuhang?
At this moment, Song Shuhang's body exuded a faint light of virtue, and his every hair had been dyed with a golden brilliance. But, what brought pressure to demonic hamster was not the 'light of virtue' that restrained the demons of the Netherworld. That pressure came from Song Shuhang himself.
It was the same pressure that high-level cultivators gave to low-level cultivators.
The Netherworld Realm couldn't witness the main world's 'show of divinity in front of the masses' nor the main world's 'Profound Sage Speech', so the demonic hamster was confused for quite a while as to what the great feeling of oppression coming from Song Shuhang's body was all about.
But... it soon understood. When its eyes were staring at Song Shuhang, it couldn't help but know of the other party's 'Sage Name'.
The first Sage in a thousand years, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song!
My Lord, what in the world is going on? Did I read that wrong? Are my eyes going bad? Or is this a nightmare?
"Ty(Da)... Tyrannical(daddy)...[1]" The demonic hamster's hands which were holding the toothpick-sized sword trembled. However, before it pronounced the word 'Song', it closed its mouth forcibly to avoid accidentally said out loud the 'Sage Name'.
"Boom!"
At this moment, Song Shuhang landed on the ground, and his face twitched when he heard the words being squeezed out of the demonic hamster's mouth.
Although he had vowed to hit the demonic hamster until it begged him for mercy and called him father, that was, in the end, just some casual stuff he had said.
So when the demonic hamster really pronounced those words, Song Shuhang felt his face twitch.
The atmosphere between the man and the hamster became slightly awkward.
After a short pause, Song Shuhang said, "Good mouse."
The demonic hamster said angrily, "F*ck! You took advantage of me!" 
"You're the one that called me like that, I didn't force you to do it," Song Shuhang said.
"What's the deal with that 'Sage Name', which idiot gave it to you?" The demonic hamster felt extremely wronged.
"Who knows? Some random guy," Song Shuhang said.
If there really had to be an 'idiot', then it should be the 'Will of the World'. The 'Sage Name' Tyrannical Song which he got was not what he wanted, but rather merely a random combination of characters chosen from his daoist names.
❄️❄️❄️
At this time.
In the dormitory of Jiangnan University Town.
It was bright outside. Gao Moumou did not know why, but he had woken up early.
"Hell, how come I woke up again," Gao Moumou said.
He felt like something was wrong these days as his sleeping time had been decreasing every day. He would sleep for less than three hours and already wake up.
This was undoubtedly a symptom of insomnia...
But unlike ordinary insomnia, although he only slept for three hours a day, he did not feel sleepy at all, but instead felt full of energy.
He even went to get checked up a few times, but the doctor told him that his body was in excellent form. In this era where almost everyone had substandard health, it was rare for people to maintain their physical form like Gao Moumou. The doctor asked Gao Moumou to keep it up and maintain his body healthy.
Gao Moumou, who could not sleep, rolled over and looked at Song Shuhang's bed. Shuhang did not return last night. He couldn't have shared a room with Teacher Su, could he?
Looking to the side, Yangde and Tubo were both sleeping soundly.
After sighing, Gao Moumou pulled out his cell phone and started typing.
At such an early part of the day, there really was nothing to do. Regardless, he was filled with energy, so what else could he do besides typing out some characters?
In the small fish tank in their dormitory, a turtle showed a human-like smile—the task assigned by the young lady was still being beautifully done today.
❄️❄️❄️
Back to Song Shuhang and the demonic hamster's fight scene.
The demonic hamster finally calmed down. "Speaking of which, surnamed Song, what the hell is going on with you?"
Song Shuhang's Sage Name and Eighth Stage pressure weren't fake, but Song Shuhang's strength was fake... With its eyes, it could see that Song Shuhang's real strength was only at the Fourth Stage.
"It's hard to say. An accident happened during my heavenly tribulation a few days ago. After narrowly escaping it, I got a Sage Seal," Song Shuhang replied.
The demonic hamster could confirm this kind of thing when it asked Senior White Two, so there was no need to hide it.
"What, still want to fight me?" Song Shuhang laughed. He felt it particularly interesting when demonic hamster had called out the word 'daddy'.
"Yes! My sword technique has reached the master level today. I definitely have to let you experience its beauty." The demonic hamster raised its toothpick-sized sword and pointed at Song Shuhang. "However, you first put away the pressure coming from your body, it would be too insulting to this hamster!"
"If I could, I would've put it away, but I don't have enough control over it." Song Shuhang reached out and gently touched the 'Sage Seal', saying, "In fact, before you came and challenged me, I've been trying to stop it from—"
Song Shuhang had yet to finish speaking when the Sage Seal suddenly moved slightly. In the next moment, it stopped using the 'dignity' function on its host.
The Sage Seal's 'dignity' function... had just shut down.
Song Shuhang: "..."
The demonic hamster stared at Song Shuhang questioningly.
"Trust me, before this, I couldn't turn off this majestic feature no matter what I tried," Song Shuhang said earnestly. At the same time, he guessed that he might have mastered one of the methods to control the 'Sage Seal'.
Violence couldn't solve the problem. At present, he was not strong enough, and he needed to approach the Sage Seal with gentleness to get his will across.
"It's useless to say any more!" The body of the demonic hamster shook. After no longer being placed under that oppressive force, it felt its condition immediately improve. "Come and fight, Song Shuhang! This time, I must let you understand what peerless swordsmanship truly means! Even if you call your ghost spirit out, I'm not afraid. "
"Unfortunately, Ye Si went to transcend her tribulation, and won't be able to come out for the time being," Song Shuhang said.
The demonic hamster secretly let out a sigh of relief. Then, its small claw lightly touched a spatial magical treasure on its chest. The spatial magical treasure contained a lot of money, with the money being the one in circulation in the main world—most of the money was in RMB, and there was still a small amount of USD and Euro. This stuff was to be used for bribery... No, it was a suppressive treasure to be used against Song Shuhang's powerful Fifth Stage ghost spirit. This was because the ghost spirit seemed to like the various currencies of the main world.
Hearing of Ye Si's absence, the demonic hamster was relieved as the money could be saved for the next bribery... No, what it meant was that it could be used for the next time it had to go against 'Ye Si'.
"Hmm, she's in luck. Otherwise, she would have to bear witness to my peerless swordsmanship too." The demonic hamster flung its white robe, and said coolly, "You are still in time to ask for mercy, Song Shuhang! Otherwise, if you wait for me to make my move, don't cry and call me father later, because I won't let you off!"
"The same goes for you," Song Shuhang said.
While talking, Shuhang stretched out his hand.
"Bam!"
On the second floor, a black iron statue jumped out of the window and landed behind Song Shuhang.
The demonic hamster mockingly said, "Do you want to use a puppet? Do you have no other means besides using external assistance?" 
"No... this is not a puppet. It is my daoist robe," Song Shuhang said.
The black iron statue 'cracked' and open up.
"Black Iron Godly Armor, transform!" On the third floor, Young Master Phoenix Slayer dubbed Song Shuhang's scene.
[1] The way the hamster says the name can also be read as 'daddy'.


One day, Song Shuhang was suddenly added to a chat group with many seniors that suffered from chuuni disease. The people inside the group would call each other ‘Fellow Daoist’ and had all different kinds of titles: Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, etc. Even the pet of the founder of the group that had run away from home was called ‘monster dog’. They would talk all day about pill refining, exploring ancient ruins, or share their experience on techniques.
However, after lurking inside the group for a while, he discovered that not all was what it seemed... 

Spiral-shaped slopes surrounded the busy construction site. In a square pit, there were thousands of workers, most of whom were warriors of Eternal Kingdom. Many of the warriors were unable to enter the construction site and were queuing up.
A huge fat Hamster who was wearing a yellow safety helmet walked towards the sentry tower located in the middle of the pit, which had loudspeakers mounted on top of it. It was a common building found in every construction site. 
Whenever there was overtime, a foreman would rally the workers from the sentry tower to boost morale.
The foreman was usually a huge Hamster. This Hamster didn't notice an invisible superior Devil walking past him. On the shoulders of the superior Devil were a black kitten and a parrot.
"Ah—!"
The loud shouting of the Hamster was amplified by the loudspeakers to reach every part of the construction site. The shouting even reverberated in the deep pit.
"Times are different. Previously, whips were used to indicate overtime. Now, we have to make use of these useless devices."
Polio stood on Sherlock's shoulder and licked his paws. He didn't like the shrill voice of the Hamster.
"Did Lord Sherlock bring you here to feel vexed? Do your job properly!" Phoenix said rudely to Polio while he observed Lord Sherlock's expression carefully.
Sherlock didn't show any expression. Polio meowed grudgingly and jumped off Sherlock's shoulder. The cat trembled rapidly, then transformed into a black mist that drifted out like a black cloud. Even when the cloud drifted out of Sherlock's invisibility range, the black cloud of Polio didn't attract much attention.
The black mist vanished into the crowd.
Phoenix flapped his wings and flew from Sherlock's shoulder. Sherlock wasn't bothered by the departure of his pets. He walked through the construction site. Due to his invisibility, nobody discovered him. Various noises were heard around him.
"After excavating, I'm going back to do my Daily Mission…"
"Sherlie is handsome…"
"That dog Arthur must be thinking of how to take over this farm…"
"Tomorrow, I'm meeting my online crush…"
"I'm cursing that scumbag to a horrible death…"
"The mid-term examination is held tomorrow. Why are you still playing the game?"
"Is the order from Lord Mammon real?"
Sherlock stopped in his tracks. He looked for the source of the voice. The noises in his mind vanished, and only the previous voice that he heard became clearer.
"Who is that superior Devil Sherlock? I checked, and those Goblins are his residents from Eternal Kingdom. He has a good reputation in the Northern Underworld."
"I've heard of him before, but I don't have a deep impression. He fought several battles and wrecked the plans of the Ancient Gods army. Compared to our master, he's still inferior."
"What is Lord Mammon looking for? We have been excavating for many days, but we haven't found anything."
"Isn't Lord Mammon building a theme park?"
"Do you think that it's going to be a theme park? Why would Lord Mammon waste so much money to build a theme park?"
"Perhaps there's treasure underneath the farm?"
"Shh, keep it low. There are ears around."
"Ho, ho."
The voices stopped as Sherlock arrived at the source—a portable toilet with a single cubicle.
The toilet door opened, and two Gnomes came out and looked around. Then they adjusted their pants and tightened their belts. Under the gazes and finger-pointing of the surrounding gamers, they left in a huff.
"Lord Sherlock, this is a piece of important information."
Bru said, "Are these two Gnomes reliable? Why would Devil King Mammon tell his secret plan to the Gnomes?"
"Of course not, but what the Gnomes said makes sense. Devil King Mammon wouldn't waste so much effort to build a theme park. I wonder what Mammon is up to," Sherlock said as he watched the two Gnomes leave.
"Indeed, but there's nothing suspicious at the construction site. Perhaps, this site is a diversion?"
Bru commented, but Sherlock didn't reply to him.
Like Bru had said, the legalities of the construction site were properly handled. The construction site even employed the gamers of Eternal Kingdom. Only the gamers knew whether the construction site was excavating treasure or doing some unscrupulous schemes.
The thousands of gamers who worked for several days didn't find anything unusual.
It was as though Mammon was doing something mischievous but that nobody knew what he was doing. It was hard to bear such a mystery.
"Perhaps Devil King Mammon wants to do something meaningful for the Underworld? Perhaps, his childlike nature has been awakened!"
Bru commented, but Sherlock didn't reply because even Bru didn't believe it.
"There must be a conspiracy. But what exactly is the conspiracy?"
…
Golden-haired George awoke in fright in his bed.
Sunlight poured in from the window at his side and illuminated his body. Beside him were many soldiers of the Godly Kingdom who were sound asleep. Only a noble such as George would have the privilege of sleeping on a bed.
There were too many soldiers of the Godly Kingdom who were freed, and Victoria City was overcrowded. It was a blessing that the prisoners were given lodging.
George sat up and cleared his mind. He then looked at the window and was taken aback.
There were many Elves, Fairies, and Humans outside.


Sherlock is a new generation Dungeon Lord whose ambition is to become the greatest Devil King and building up the greatest Dungeon in the Underworld.
He summons a group of other-worldly goblins who give themselves strange names, form cliques, engage in commerce, and even fight among themselves.
They call themselves—Gamers!

The rainstorm lasted three full days before it gradually stopped. The air is full of the smell of humidity, and with the heat released by the sun, it rises and makes people feel uncomfortable. The grassland full of moisture seemed to be a swamp. When we stepped on it, the wet soil made Mark and I dare not let our horses gallop. They were afraid of breaking their hooves, so we had to ride our horses slowly.

    If the slow speed can be tolerated-at least we are still riding on horseback-then the dry food is eaten out, then we have to face the problem.

    Hunting on the grassland is far less romantic than imagined. In fact, it is difficult. No matter how docile the animal is, it can explode with amazing combat power in the face of life and death, let alone appear in groups. In this way, gophers become a good choice. Gophers in the Monta Prairie Not only are they reproducing fast, they are also not small. The famous killer wolves on the grassland rely on gophers to reproduce endlessly.

    But it's not easy to beat a mole. Gophers are naturally timid and will quickly retract into the hole when there is wind and grass. For an unskilled hunter, it is a difficult task to beat a mole. This can be seen from Mark's performance.

    Every time Mark tried to approach the gopher with a long sword, he let the gopher slip away quickly before adding himself to him.

    Seeing that it was almost noon, I took off the bow and arrow hanging on the horse, closed my eyes, and exuded the power of nature. In an instant, all the dynamics around me were mastered in every possible way, and I felt every sway of the grass. , I heard the wind whisper softly when the grass blades passed, hit the arrow, and lightly loosened it, feeling the lingering tremor of the bowstring. In my consciousness, I clearly "saw" the arrow from a fat gopher's butt. Inject it, pierce it through its mouth, and nail it to the ground.

    I fired three arrows in a row, each of which hit a gopher. I asked Mark to pick up the hamsters I harvested, find a place that was still dry, and set up a bonfire, and then sent Mark to find a place to remove the viscera of the hamsters.

    When Mark walked away, I found some grass roots in the mud and started to transform the grass roots to promote growth. With the force of nature, the grass roots quickly pulled out the branches in my hand, and then produced various spices, like star anise, fennel, cumin, and even chili peppers. When the amount of spices was enough, I stopped the invigoration technique. As an elf, the most convenient thing is to be able to transform plants at will with the spawning technique. Even mushrooms can be born.

    A while after my birthing technique was completed, Mark returned with the cleaned hamster. First let Mark use his sword to cut a few stabs in the thick place of the gopher, take out the salt and spread it evenly on the gopher, then stuff the spices and fresh wild vegetables into the gopher's belly, and set it on the fire to start the barbecue.

    The flames gradually grilled the gophers into golden yellow, and as I sprinkled the pepper powder, chili powder and cumin on the gophers in turn, a tempting aroma diffused as the flames rose. Mark squatted on the side, his eyes fixed on the barbecue in my hand, squirming from his throat, I couldn't help laughing when I saw Mark's expression. If the grassland after the rainstorm was too wet, I could only collect a few. The firewood, such a simple barbecue, can only be imported.

    Just when the roasted hamster was almost finished, I suddenly felt that a creature appeared in my sensing range and was approaching me and Mark Kao at a very fast speed.

    I turned my head and looked in the direction that the creature was approaching, and saw a little fox with fiery red fur closing his eyes and sloshing his nose, running straight at us.

    I slightly used the force of nature to influence the growth of nearby grass, and quickly placed a small trip rope in the direction of the little fox's feet. I saw the little fox's figure suddenly stop, and then quickly rolled out to the side.

    The little fox who fell and shook his head and suddenly found me and Mark. He immediately arched his body and stared at me straight, baring his teeth with a look of alert.

    I looked at the little fox with interest. I could see that the little fox is not doing well these days. The flaming fur is covered with grass clippings and mud spots. The hair that should have been very soft is tangled together, and it looks so good. Embarrassed. But even so, the fiery red hair radiated golden brilliance under the sunlight.

    Although the little tiger teeth of the little fox born in white looked like warm jade, I have no doubt that the strength of the little fox is at least above Mark. Through the Eye of Reality, I can only see that it uses the Orc's avatar transformation technique, which shows that its strength has at least reached the level of an orc's mid- to high-level warrior.

    He took a roasted gopher and shook it in front of the little fox. The guarded little fox showed a drunken expression for an instant. I took the hamster back, slowly tore off a fat and tender hind leg, and put it in my mouth. Um, the taste was okay. The hamster tasted almost the same as the chicken in the previous life, but it was more elastic and chewed better.

    Seeing me tasting the gopher by myself, the little fox's eyes flashed raging anger, staring at me fiercely without blinking. Well, it's pretty tolerable, well, it depends on how long you can bear it.

    When Mark and I ate the last gopher, the little fox finally couldn't bear it. It kicked hard on its hind legs, and a red light appeared in an instant. The next moment, it had run away with the gopher in its mouth.

    In the next few days, I felt that the little fox was following us all the time. It was too easy to know this. Although the little fox followed us far away carefully, don't forget those spices but I use natural ones. I just made a small mark with the natural force remaining in the spice when the little fox eats it, so that I can keep track of the little fox's whereabouts.

    Every day, Mark and I deliberately make more food, and weave the grass into a mat to wrap the food. When we are gone, the little fox will eat it by himself. Orcs who are separated from the tribe are actually very difficult to live in the grasslands. The most serious punishment in the Monta Empire is expulsion. The swamps that appeared on the prairie with heavy rains, the vast territory led to the loss of direction, plus the various monsters living in the prairie, not to mention the tribe's nightmare—wolves. All this has caused the tribes on the grasslands to always move non-stop, and once they leave the tribe, facing such a difficult situation, no orc can survive alone.

    Mark and I have been wandering on the grassland for a month. In this month, except for a few buffalo herds, we haven't seen a large biome. The little fox is still following us, but as time goes by, the little fox's courage is getting bigger and bigger. Now not only when eating, he unscrupulously snatches food from me and Mark, and after eating, he curls up in me. On the back of his horse, wandering with us.

    It seems that we should find a time for a showdown with the little fox. Although the addition of a little fox has no effect on our itinerary, in one month, the child-rearing period of the prairie magic wolf will pass. The hungry wolves, It will become a nightmare for all tribes, let alone us alone.

    In the middle of the night, when Mark was asleep, I took the little fox by the back of the neck and left the tent.

    The little fox obviously felt terrible because of interrupted sleep by me, and kept barking his teeth at me.

    "Okay, don't pretend it anymore." I looked at the little fox and took out the first-level pattern given to me by the Tiger Knight from my arms: "You should recognize this. I don't want to break this pattern by accident."

    Seeing the pattern on my hand, the little fox broke his face. With a spell, the little fox became a pretty woman.

    The soft and white face, the flowing and beautiful red hair, the slightly frowned brows and the petite nose form a face that charms all beings. The same flaming tail wraps around his waist, sweeping up and down from time to time.

    "Have you met Harris? How did you discover that I was an orc?" The beauty asked eagerly and quickly.

    "Hehe, I'm really curious about who you came to, who could have the wildebeest team dispatched to find you, and also, haven't your parents taught you that you should report your name before asking others questions? "I stared at her with interest, and the pattern whirled gently on my fingertips.

An elder old man died naturally but reincarnated as an elf. In a different world, what wonderful story will happen? Let us follow in the footsteps of the elves and experience a different kind of life

*Early morning, three days later.*
Shi Mu trotted alone to the rolling mountains where he had previously hunted wild animals. He was carrying a huge parcel with him, which was about half the height of an average man. He climbed seven or eight hilltops without resting, and eventually found himself on the periphery of a bamboo forest. It seemed to be unusually verdant, shining with an emerald green lustre.
It took him a full hour to fully investigate the bamboo forest, spread across an area of about 17 acres. He put that huge parcel down gently only after he had found the traces left by his target. He then began fumbling to take out a rather small shovel and started digging a pit trap in the nearby ground. 
Strangely enough, his movements of digging the pit were excessively cautious. It seemed as if he was afraid of attracting attention.
In this way he was able to finish the digging of a water jar sized pit only by noon. The pit was several meters in depth.
Shi Mu then took out some bottles and jars from the parcel, and dropped an unknown powder and some fluids into the pit. He covered the pit entirely with twigs, and added many bamboo leaves to the surface. He scattered some mud onto the pit, finally finishing his arrangement, having laid a delicate trap.

Shi Mu seemed quite content as he observed his arrangement from every angle, and a trace of a smile flashed across his face. 

He had learned the arrangement of the trap as well as how to make the powder and fluids from “Zhong Gong Mi Dian”, which contained the secret arts of the Zhong clan. His confidence of conquering his target would have been low in the absence of these skills, despite his ability to manage seven cuts in one movement.
He gauged the time by looking up at the sun, high in the sky, and then fished out a paper ball without hesitating. There was mysterious golden coloured dough inside it.
Shi Mu emptied out the fluids contained in a small bottle.
Immediately, an overpowering and indescribable fragrance began wafting through the air. 

“I hope that this secret bait recipe from the old hunter in the city will turn out to be useful. Otherwise, the thirty-two liang of silver I paid for this material would be a waste.”
Shi Mu murmured to himself as he shook his wrist, sending the golden dough down into the middle of the trap.
He then took out a black wooden knife and a rather large emerald green cloak to cover himself up. He threw the parcel behind a huge rock and walked back to his trap. He then lowered his body to the ground and lay flat beside the trap, becoming as still as he could be.
From a distance, the ground where the trap had been set up was completely flat, and nothing strange could be seen.
Shi Mu held his breath as he lay still on the ground, and the warm air that puffed out of his nostrils was thin enough to be invisible. He barely blinked his eyes as he stared hard at the bamboo wood. The information he had obtained flashed through his mind once more.

The golden hamster, also known as the medicine-hunting hamster, was a unique animal found only in Quan Zhou. It was a variation of the common piebald mountain mouse which would bite its brood siblings to death as soon as it was born. In its third month, golden fur would begin to appear on its back. After this, it would achieve the ability to find and take some herbs needed to advance to a higher level.
After a year, the golden hamster would reach its age of maturity, and its talent would be awakened. This would enable it to find rare herbs without any difficulty. Hence, it was considered that possessing a tamed golden hamster was equivalent to living with a born master of herbs, who could seek rare medicine. However, although it was worth an enormous amount of money, the hamster could rarely be found in the market. This was because few would be willing to sell their medicine-hunting masters, even if they did have one.
Shi Mu had found one by accident when he chased a wild fox all the way to the edge of the bamboo forest. He was overjoyed at finding one of these hugely famous animals of Quan Zhou.

However, he had been too cautious to take immediate action at that time.
Though the golden hamster did not belong to the rank of holy animals, it was still capable of deceiving many. It seemed to vanish into thin air by dashing at the speed of lightening, keeping its shadows invisible. Because of its inherent vigilance, it would be nearly impossible to catch it again if it wasn’t caught in the first attempt. 

During this period, every time Shi Mu came to the hilltop to practice, he went out of his way to observe this gold hamster’s routine.
By now his progress had reached a point where he could do seven cuts in one movement, using his ‘Thirteen Series of Gale Force Knife’ Art. Moreover, he had also learned the trap, as well as the bait-making method from “Zhong Gong Mi Dian”. Therefore, he had finally made up his mind to putting his plan into action today.

At the time when Shi Mu was finishing laying out the trap to hunt the golden hamster, something else was happening inside the hall of the Jin Gang martial arts club in Feng City. A sandy-haired elder was angrily reproaching Wang Tian Hao, who stood in front of him.

“What tricks are you playing this time? I had asked you to find a girl to marry from the Jin Family, not to beat up and pick a fight with the youngsters of the Jin Family!”

“Uncle Xu, how could you blame me for beating them? Those guys asked me to instruct their arts themselves. It’s just that I lost some control of myself. But as far as their skills are concerned, no Jin other than Shi Yu Huan is capable of withstanding even my first strike. They turned out to be a pack of good-for-nothing idlers, wasting half of my day!” Wang Tian Hao stretched himself with a yawn, displaying an air of complete carelessness.

“You bastard, the Jin Family is Wang Family’s ally in Quan Zhou! Who told you to attack them instead of looking at their girls? Well, well, now I will have to clear up your mess myself by going to their manor to apologize to their head. From now on you are supposed to just stay here and practice your Blazing Spear. Before you accomplish the next stance of the Blazing Spear Art, you are confined to the club!” Elder Xu ordered as he stared at Wang Tian Hao with his eyes wide open.  He found it rather difficult to handle his nephew.

“I don’t care about being confined at all. After all, the day of the competition is only half a month away. So I just need time to save my energy,” Wang Tian Hao answered in a cheerful and excited manner.

“Humph! I have no hope for you till you start paying attention,” Uncle Xu snorted.

“Why? Do you mean to say that there are other powerful people in the various clubs?” Wang Tian Hao said with his spirits highly elated, as he sensed some overtones in his uncle’s reprimand.

“You crazy kid! I guess you’d lose sleep if I refused to tell you,” he said, not sure whether to laugh or cry at his nephew’s response.
“Ha ha, Uncle Xu knows me so well,” Wang Tian Hao said demurely, his face now compliant and sweet.

“As far as I know, the Fei Hong club has this time asked a genius to help them recover from their misfortune of always coming last. It is said that although the guy is not a blood warrior, he has an innate body of ‘solid earth’,” Uncle Xu answered with a solemn face.

“The body of ‘solid earth’, also known for its defence force? Could that be the legendary body which is immune to bodily harm?” Wang Tian Hao asked, surprised.
“Ha ha. As you may know, it’s rather difficult to handle. Judging from your current skills, I don’t think your Blazing Spear will be able to break his defence,” Uncle Xu replied with a sneer.

“Maybe I won’t be able to break the defence of a ‘solid earth’ body, but I do know a Martial Disciple in our city who would definitely be able to. It will be worthwhile to watch the fight if he takes part in this competition,” Wang Tian Hao laughed heartily as something struck him, after pausing for a brief thought.
“Oh? Do you mean the ‘Fierce Fists’ you mentioned the other day?” Uncle Xu’s eyes now were alight with excitement.

“Exactly, I’ve witnessed his skills with my own eyes. The reach of his strength must be at least 500 kg, or there is no way he could snap the iron spear with his bare hands,” Wang Tian Hao answered without hesitation.

“Well, that does seem to be true, according to what you’ve told me. This ‘Fierce Fists’ could really confront the ‘solid earth’ body to a certain extent. But it’s a shame that competitors have to be Martial Disciples under the age of eighteen. If ‘Fierce Fists’ is already the leader of a small gang, he must be over eighteen,” Uncle Xu said, quite sure of his reasoning.

“That’s true. But if he turns out to be of my age, then I’ll definitely fight him with all my strength. Even if it is only for the title of the city’s top Martial Disciple,” Wang Tian Hao said in a proud tone, nodding his head.
Uncle Xu was speechless when he heard such an ambitious proclamation.
He was proud of his nephew in every aspect, except for his arrogance for Wang Tian Hao was always showing off.

Whiz! Whiz!
Seven black knife shadows rolled and vanished.
After smashing several invisible shadows of light yellow, the knife finally returned to its owner in the shadows.
“Creak.”

A little golden animal, the size of a fist, fell squeaking from mid-air and into the huge pit waiting below. The trap had already been half revealed.
Shi Mu was too overjoyed to hold his wooden knife when he saw that his sudden sneak attack had hit the target. He threw the knife into mid-air and grabbed it with one hand. He then threw out a huge silk net to cover the surface of the pit.
Peng!

As the little golden animal tried to dash out of the pit, it bumped against the silk net and was forced to drop down to the bottom again.
After about ten attempts, the golden animal’s jump grew powerless. And soon, no sound could be heard from the pit.
Shi Mu then approached the pit cautiously, and stole a quick glance inside it.
The little golden animal was now weak, and was no longer able to move its body as it was glued to the colourful fluids at the bottom.

Shi Mu’s mind relaxed at the sight, and he turned to a large nearby rock. He fumbled with his package to find an iron wire cage, and rushed with it to the pit in excitement.
However, he became pale at sight he saw upon turning around. 
A blue robed man with a sword over his shoulder stood beside the pit, which nobody could’ve known about. The little golden animal was already in his hand, struggling fiercely. The man was rocking his head back and forth, observing it from every angle. The little one had to be the golden hamster which had earlier been glued unconscious to the bottom of the pit.
“Elder warrior, I believe that golden hamster is mine!” said Shi Mu politely, containing his anxiety with a deep breath. The sight of the golden hamster in the blue robed man’s hand made Shi Mu’s heart leap to his throat.
“Well, young boy, do you think I am a thief who would grab your prey?” said the blue robed man in a cold voice, as he turned his body.
Shi Mu could make out that the blue robed man was a Daoist priest, probably in his thirties. His eyebrows had grown out all the way to his temples, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife. His eyes displayed a fierce countenance which seemed to be murderous and brutal.

“A glance is enough for me to tell that this senior is an outstanding warrior. But I caught this golden hamster with all my effort,” thought Shi Mu, scarcely bracing himself to persuade the blue robed man. Just then, he suddenly felt an unusual and strange sense of coldness rushing onto his face. Immediately, he was frozen as though in ice, and his whole body was cold and numb.

The enigmatic blue-robed man had resorted to violent treachery in no time.

“The notorious Cold Sword, intending to kill a mere Martial Disciple for his treasure. I wonder if anyone would believe my story if I made it public.”
Shi Mu heard a heavenly melodious voice as he was frozen into stillness, 
nearly falling unconscious.


A wonder falling down from heaven! A boy possessed by strange blood! Gods tremble! Demons flee! A boy from the land of Dong Zhou. A pink skull as his sworn friend until death. A story of a determined warrior struggling for power. A legend that shakes the galaxy and disturbs the worlds of god, demon and man.

It was early in the morning and his host wasn't up yet, Viers let him sleep. After yesterday, he would need much rest. Viers went to the lawn of Mercer's house, tossing a ghostly pale blue ball into the air. As it slowly fell downward, Viers slashed it with his sword in one swift stroke. Unlike the usual watery blue, the sword was wreathed in milky green color.
"Hmph!"
The bluish-white ball split into two parts.
"Hyah!"
Another stroke and the ball separated into four.
"Shih!"
Again, and again, and again.
After Viers reduced the ball into tiny pieces, he continued observing it, eyes picking up the slightest of details. Before long the soul dissipated. Slowly, he returned the sword to the sheath like a samurai, finishing it with a satisfying click.
'Even with that I still couldn't destroy it completely. Some part of the soul simply… went away, not destroyed. Did they really go to Heaven or Hell?'
The soul just now was Tarakai, the one who tried to give him a poisoned soup and wanted to kill him. Viers already excavated any memories worth noting -although it wasn't much- and decided to discharge him from his service.
Simply releasing the souls he captured was a simple affair. They usually floated to the sky then disappeared, beyond even the reach of his tier 5 Soul affinity.
With Viers forgoing the necromantic facet of his power, he experimented with many things, such as what he was trying to do now, soulkill.
'I managed to harm the soul, gravely. But I am unable to completely extinguish it from heaven and earth… at least the current me that is. It will have to do. In the stories, unlike bodily harm, injury to the soul is often very difficult to heal. I'm sure it will be useful in the future.'
"How are you holding up, Mister Mercer?" Cain spoke to the person watching from behind, his ears were sharp. He knew Mercer had been watching since a short while ago but it seemed the older man didn't want to disturb his training.
"I feel… refreshed. How can I not be, after you bestowed a kindness I'm unable to repay for my whole lifetime."
"Glad to hear it," Cain turned around, looking at Mercer's face. "Still thinking of taking your own life?" He already knew the answer from what he saw but Cain still asked for politeness' sake.
"No, it would… make Martha sad," Mercer smiled bitterly.
"The burden you bear is heavy. How you live with such a burden I cannot tell you, no one can. You must decide, despite the pain and grief. Dying is easy, living is hard. What can mere mortals such as us do other than living the best we could in this world?" Cain said, trying to convey some words of wisdom.
"It is as you say, lord benefactor." Thanks to Cain's show of power yesterday, Mercer took Cain's words as revelations from an angel.
"I must leave soon," Cain saddled his backpack up. "May the Radiant Lady light your way," Cain said his farewell.
"And to you, envoy," Mercer kneeled on the ground with his hands joined in front of his face.
'Oh no, I hope not. Aunt Estelle might smite me for all the bad deeds I have done,' Cain thought while smiling bitterly.
"Remember, don't tell anyone anything about this matter and myself."
"I will hold the sanctity of our pact. I swear this once again."
Cain nodded with satisfaction and turned around. With that as the parting words, Cain left towards his next destination.
Mercer watched until his figure was no longer visible, the golden light from the morning sun warmly enveloped him. It felt like the embrace of his family yesterday night.
"Thank you, lord angel..." Mercer whispered.
Viers, the maverick mistaken as an angel of the Goddess Estelle was walking in a good mood. Doing something good and getting rewarded for it brought warm feelings to his heart.
'It's been a while, let's do a quick check. It's now at... 36.57%, huh? Very good. Keep on rising, my power. Hahaha!' Viers' mysterious number kept rising.
***
"HOLD THE LINE!!!"
The man who said that braced the impact of a 200 kilograms hamster the size of a tiger.
"Rggghhh!" The man grunted, clenching his molars very, very hard.
He was not alone in this, left and right of him stood men and women of various ages. They too were holding their ground against other hamsters although not as big as the one in front of the man wearing a dark-colored metal plate. One used a wall of earth, one used a rampart of wind. Each of them were using different ways of fighting against the horde.
"Iron Spike!"
A cone of metal jutted out from the ground. It had a diameter of 1 meter at the base, becoming smaller until the tip was a sharp point. The cone-shaped metal pierced the stomach of the hamster monster, making the unnaturally sized monster squeal.
"Raahhh!"
Using his sword, the man embedded his weapon in the skull of another monster that came from behind the orange-furred hamster he just defeated. Before he could breathe, another one came from the side, wanting to take a bite at his stomach. In a hurry, the man moved his left arm between them. The hamster gnashed his vambrace with frenzied fervor, its two front teeth looked very menacing.
"DIE!"
His hand turned metallic and gave the hamster a punch on its skull, smashing its head to a pulp. The man saw his friend beside him was almost overwhelmed under the assault of three hamsters.
"Aldo! Let him go, you beasts! Iron King's Decapitation!!"
The man created a massive sword of iron and swung it downward, slashing the three hamsters in one go.
"Thank you Captain, I-"
"Shut it! Next wave incoming, Frag Explosion!"
The man threw a sphere of metal he created with his Arte into a clump of five hamster monsters. The sphere burst into tiny slugs with such force that the hamsters lost their lives in a heartbeat.
That only brought a moment of respite before the man must again kill another monster that replaced the ones he just killed. Those men and women were like a wall, battered with waves of water. Still, the wall stood valiantly, not giving an inch.
For an unknown amount of time, he kept fighting. At last, he witnessed the last tiger-sized hamster monster slain by one of his comrades. Then the cheering came, they had claimed victory on this ground.
"Captain Jarret, news from the left wing." A messenger called him out.
"Haah... haah... what?" Jarret wiped the splattered hamster blood on his neck while catching his breath.
"Sir, the left wing is almost broken! Hansen, Tommy, Vurg, and Sharon have fallen. There was a big one among the hamsters assaulting the left wing, we suspect it is the alpha, A Tiger-striped Hamster. It's a Rank 2 monster, sir." The messenger said with a pained expression.
"...Those fools, I told them not to die..." Jarret knew he shouldn't let emotions overwhelm him in a battlefield but he couldn't stop the feeling of sadness from approaching him. His discipline allowed him to focus once again after a few moments.
"Mister Holt, I'll assist the left wing. I leave the center in your command!" Jarret said to a man much older than him. Holt's hair was all white, he had been retired for years. Even so when the Tide came, he volunteered to stand at the front line.
"Understood, Captain. May the Goddess be with you."
"And with you. Juggernaut Armor!"
Jarret invoked another Arte. This time, he became covered in sturdy black armor from head to toe.
"Siiir! E-emergency report from the right wing!"
Before Jarret could move to the left wing's aid, a different messenger came in a panic. Jarret knew he would not bring good news.
"Speak." Even he himself was surprised at how weak-willed his voice became.
"A-another Beast Tide came from the east! At least a hundred apes led by a Rank 3 Thunder Orangutan are approaching the right wing as we speak. They must be drawn by the battle, for the meat and core of the dead hamsters! Your orders, sir?"
The message was another nail in the coffin for these men. They were barely hanging on against the hamster's tide. The appearance of the orangutans would break their defense line like a knife against paper.
Ten of them were in the center, now they were only seven. The swarm of teeth had claimed the lives of three of them. When the crisis was nigh, they came forward to fulfill their duty to protect the town. Now, after hours of fighting, they still stood despite being full of wounds. Healers were casting their magic full-force. One healer was trying to attach the severed arm of the unconscious Rudin.
"A Rank 3..."
"We're finished… The town is finished…"
"Damn those adventurers! They had to drag the whole town into their mess. May the Devils take those idiots!"
Jarret saw the hope and will of his comrades-of-war around him fade like mist. How could they not? There was nothing he -a mere Level 2 Pathseeker- could do against a Rank 3 monster. There was nobody in Osemore town that could match the boss monster in combat. Even if he tried, it would be great if he could delay the Rank 3 for a few seconds. All seemed lost.
"Is this the end?..." Jarret closed his eyes. His heart felt like ice.
A loud blast jolted him to open his eyes.
"Eh?"
"What happened?"
"Captain Jarret, look!"
A blaze of flame ten meters high could be seen from where they were standing.
"That's from the left wing."
Jarret used the Arte Farsight to see the hamster boss being engulfed in explosions. At a nearby hill, Jarret saw a lone figure carrying a smoking metal tube on his shoulder.
"Brother!"
"Kate? What are you doing here?"
Jarret saw his younger sister coming from the direction of the town.
"We have come to help," she said with an excited expression.
"No! There's nothing we can do. A Rank 3 monster is coming! We must tell the town to begin evacuation immediately."
"Don't worry brother. Someone strong came along with me!"
'Strange,' Jarret thought. His sister looked so confident. While they were talking there were a couple more explosions from the left wing's side. The hamsters on that side had been blown away, not a single one left standing.
'Was it him?' Jarret looked at the youth on the hill wearing strange clothes and a strange weapon.
"By the Goddess!"
"How could it be!?"
"He's flying! Is he a Level 5?"
After he was finished with the left wing, the youth rose to the air and went to the right wing, passing Jarret's position in the process. The mysterious stranger had some kind of fire coming from his shoes and back. He flew so fast and arrived above the apes' location in a short time.
He hovered in the sky, surveying the monkeys below him like a deity.
Because he was so eye-catching, it didn't take long until the apes noticed him. The biggest of them all, the Rank 3 Thunder Orangutan took it as a challenge. It had the size of an elephant, very muscular and imposing. Its white fur bristled and crackled with lighting then a thunderbolt appeared in its arm.
"UHHOOHH!"
It let out a primal roar and threw the lance of plasma to the flying youth, enveloping him in a blinding violet explosion.
"Not good!" Jarret wanted to go to assist but his sister held his hand back.
"Don't worry brother. He's strong," Kate smiled.
The smoke receded and he saw the flying youth once again. He was indeed fine, no signs of injury. A spherical shield covered his body without a blind spot. The barrier had a strange pattern on it, it was like something he saw in a beehive.
The youth with silver hair retaliated. He unleashed a strange… exploding arrow. The power was massive. From a tube on his shoulder, the arrow jetted forward leaving a trail of fire and smoke. It exploded with fiery fury and deafening sound. Jarret witnessed the mysterious youth create another 'arrowhead' with his empty hand, put it on the strange tube, and shot another exploding arrow.
A hailstorm of explosions came upon the monkey Beast Tide. A hundred apes or so were powerless before the explosions. The Rank 3 managed to hold against the first three blasts but the seventh overwhelmed it. The flying attacker used something different to finish the Thunder Orangutan. Jarret only saw a streak of blue light and the apes' alpha exploded to smithereens. Seeing their leader in such a sorry state was the final straw, the monkeys scattered in all directions. Screaming.
But the silver-haired death god didn't let them go.
"…Heavens, what did I see?" Jarret muttered. His sentiment was shared with the people around in the center battlefield.
"He's Sigma, I told you about a strong Idler that saved me from the goblins before, right? That's him," Kate explained fondly.

Hey, what would you do after you got isekai-ed?

Me?

Look! A cockroach villain has appeared. Let's kill him before he messes things up. Too cruel? That kind of character is always introduced to be killed by the protagonist anyway so I'm doing the world a favor here. Less CO2 emission. It's time to "Go Green" guys, even in another world.

See over there, that's a trash young master type right there. What do I do? Endure the initial insults and provocation then dispose of him when no one sees of course. Why make things difficult?

Hmm, a pretty girl in peril. Potential love interest there… but no, I have enough problems as it is. At the very least, I won't help her just 'cause she's a female. Same goes for males. What? I support gender equality.

Hey, I know the clichés, what did you think I was going to do? Simply let it run its course? Well duh, I'll twist it to my benefit.

Chapter 30
Before heading out Althea packed some dry rations and other necessities. After everything was ready, she summoned Northem.

"Young  Miss, what is your order?", asked Northem who was kneeling on one knee.

"Get up, next time you don't need to kneel before me", said Althea.

Getting up, Northem said, "As you wish Young Miss"

Althea nodded and said,  "I will be going out to train in the mountains for a few days. I will be entrusting my mother's safety in your hands in case if anything happens, understood!"

Northem was slightly taken aback by Althea's words. He knew that Althea will be going out to train but all along he thought that he will be going out with her to ensure her safety because he is well aware of the dangers lurking in the hollow mountain range. Moreover, Furiana is inside the Baro clan so, who will be daring enough to harm the only daughter of the clan leader inside the clan.

After an internal debate Northem still decided to voice out his concern, "Young Miss, the mountain is filled with dangers. Won't it be better if I followed you besides, the Lady will be safe inside the clan"

Althea flicked a glance at Northem and he immediately shut up.

"You don't need to worry about me, just follow my arrangements"

"As you wish young miss" answered Northem. Even though he was worried about Althea he didn't dare defy her orders and thinking about how Althea brought many surprises to him during the journey and also by the way she handled Ryab, he was sure that Althea had some tricks up her sleeves or else she wouldn't be confident she will return unscattered from the Hollow mountain range.

After listening to an earful of concerns and warnings from her mother and grandfather, Althea quickly set out.

......

Inner region, Hollow Mountain Range

"Second Lady, are you sure we can find a talented Beast Tamer here", asked Gufian with a doubt.

"Did we find any in Withering Valley then!", instead of answering, Lady Tsiru threw him a question.

Gufian gave a wry smile and didn't question further. He had no idea what Lady Tsiru is up to. Almost all the geniuses and people from five great powers have gathered in and around Withering Valley, only they have come to Hollow mountain range. Gufian couldn't help but speculate that Lady Tsiru is up to something.

After some time, Lady Tsiru halted and said, "we are now at the periphery of the inner region of the Hollow mountain range. The reason why we haven't come across any young talents till now is that the inner region is filled with dangers and only those at senior level or above could walk in and out safely. If we want to find some geniuses we have to lurk around the outer region of the hollow mountain range"

With that Lady, Tsiru turned around and went towards the direction of the outer region. Everyone quietly followed behind her. Only Gufian furrowed his brows looking at Lady Tsiru's back and complained inwardly, 'then why did we waste our time lurking around in the inner regions of the hollow mountain range! Surely she is hiding something from us"

.....

Outer edges of the hollow mountain range

Althea was currently sitting on one of the tree branches. It has been two days since she set her foot inside the hollow mountain range. Due to her weak strength, she didn't dare to venture deep inside. Even though she had few tricks up her sleeves in case of imminent dangers she still decided not to take risks. Besides the main reason, she came here is to practice beast taming.

After a while, Althea heard a noise coming from the nearby bushes. She had already concealed her breath so no beast of human below the divine level can perceive her existence.

From a nearby bush, Althea saw a low-level Amethyst Hamster popping out its head and looking around. After making sure that there was no one in the vicinity, the Amethyst hamster slowly came out from the bush.

After waiting for two days, Althea finally found a low-level beast suitably for practicing her beast taming skills.  Amethyst Hamster is a type of beast with zero combat abilities, it has a keen sense of smell for herbs and can aid the Beast Tamer in finding medicinal herbs. Though it is not an ideal beast for forming a contract, the beast tamers can make use of the Amethyst hamster if they came across it in the wild so that it can help them in finding precious medicinal herbs.

Beast Tamers can tame a beast only for a certain period depending on their strength and mental strength. A beginner or low-level Beast Tamers can only tame a beast for few minutes to one hour maximum.
If a Beast Tamer wants a certain Beast to follow them forever, they have to form a blood contract with the beast.

Althea slowly summoned her Golden spirit light on her palm and making use of the heaven-grade Beast Taming technique she had learned in her past life, she chanted a few words without making noise. One could only see her lips moving. After few seconds she slowly and quietly descends from the tree branch. When the Amethyst Hamster spotted Althea, it tried to go back inside the bushes but it was late as Althea flicked her index finger, and a small translucent golden-colored orb the size of a pill flew out from her fingertips and it directly went inside the head of the Amethyst Hamster.

The Amethyst Hamster was frozen on the spot and Althea was standing ten meters away from it. It was Althea's first time taming a beast, she doesn't know whether it will be a success or failure. Although she followed the instructions as written in the book and the heaven-grade technique she learned during her past life, she was still nervous. At the moment besides being nervous, she was also excited because the heaven grade beast taming technique she casually flipped through in her past life out of curiosity had now being put to use. Althea was very interested in Beast taming in her past life even though she didn't possess golden spirit light, she was always envious of Beast Tamers as they can have their contract beast which Althea longs for. But only Beast Tamers can form a contract with beast regretfully.

Fixing her gaze at the Amethyst Hamster, Althea slowly moved forward. Even if it failed she had already made mental preparation for it as it is her first time.

The Amethyst Hamster regained its composure and stared at Althea with its small and round golden eyes, then it made a small squeak and rushed towards Althea.
Coming near her foot, the Amethyst Hamster rubbed against Althea's shoes and started to run in circles around Althea.

"it succeeded!", Althea couldn't believe that she succeeded on the first try. Her eyes were beaming with joy.

As Althea was immersed in joy, few men emerged from the nearby woods.

"wo.. look who is here"

Althea quickly recollected herself and shot a glance at the newly arrived people and frowned.

The Author has something to say: This Grandaunt is trying hard to update regularly.



In the land of Dura, there exist five great powers that rule over the people. 

The Rainbow Cloud Academy 

The Hall of mage

The Beast Tamer org.

The Alchemist Guild

The Black Tower

Even though the five great powers look peaceful on the outside, they have been scheming against each other internally to gain the power to control the whole land of Dura. The power struggle had been going on for centuries with each wanting to stand above the other four powers.

There was a prophecy in the land of Dura that says.

'The one with the Flame Dragon shall rule all the land under the Heavens'

Althea Rion, the Sovereign of The Hall of Mage had a dragon token passed down to her from her mother which only a few people know of. Due to a traitor, the dragon token in her possession was exposed and she became the target of the four major forces. After being chased by the four great powers, Althea crushed the Dragon token with her last remaining strength. Her Spirit seed exploded and the red flame engulfed her before the eyes of the four great powers.

.......

Opening her eyes again, Althea found herself in the body of a sixteen-year-old girl with a damaged spirit seed. But to her surprise, she found a Flame Dragon encircled around her spirit seed.

"I am Althea, the sovereign of The Hall of Mage. Since Heavens had given me a second chance at life, this time, I will be the one to destroy The Four great powers, wait until I regain my former strength. The path of Revenge is what I chose" 

...

Will Althea regain her former glory?

Can she take down the Four great powers that had been standing strong for nearly a thousand years?

Thank you.

"I'm no Little Huang or Little White. I'm not your regular household cat and dog! My name is Huangdu!"
The little hamster sighed deeply. "The disciples these days are getting worse with each generation. Forget it, it's not like you'll understand. Let me go now and I'll let this slide."
"Let it slide eh?" Chu Chen nodded. Before the hamster could have said anything, he pulled it out from the vines and held it by its round body. "Little Huang, you've stolen quite some spiritual herbs from me. How will you settle this?"
"How is that considered stealing!?" Hearing that, the little hamster got angry. "I rule over all lands and realms. How would I resort to such a lowly act?! I'm just eating it openly! Kid, do you know that I was framed by a rival back then? When I woke up, I was surrounded by a bunch of random people that placed thousands of restrictive spells on me and turned me into this stupid form! As long as I have enough spiritual herbs to break my restrictions, I will take you in as my true disciple and let you inherit all the secret techniques that I learned over the billions of years. What do you think?"
Chu Chen's mouth twitched.
"Secret techniques? You know a lot of them right? Then give me one example."
"I've been suppressed by thousands of restrictive spells. Those memories about the cultivation techniques were naturally sealed away. How can I tell you about them? As long as you let me go and let me eat all the spiritual herbs in this field, those secret techniques will be yours when my restrictions are lifted and memories restored! Come on, my good disciple, what are you waiting for? Kowtow and greet your master."
Chu Chen's brows twitched, struggling to have suppressed his urge to squeeze the little hamster to death. He took out a little box and placed it in front of the hamster.
"What's this?" The hamster curiously moved closer to the box and took a whiff. Its fat face no longer shook around. "Blood pact elixir! Don't feed me that thing! How can I, a ruler of the universe, be subdued by a human and be their pet! Take this away immediately!"
The hamster had been shouting as it waved its little paws wildly. Unfortunately, its paws had been too short, unable to have escaped from Chu Chen's grasp even after all that flailing.
"You actually know that this is the blood pact elixir. That's quite knowledgeable of you." Chu Chen eyed the hamster curiously, whose stomach coincidentally growled. "Look here. I'll give you two options. You can eat this blood pact elixir and be my pet. I'm sure Junior Sister Tong would love a talking hamster. Otherwise, if you refuse to take the elixir, I'll eat you. I've not had meat for quite some time—"
"Don't be like that!" Hearing that, the little hamster was scared witless. "I'm very fat. My body is oily and the texture is bad. I'm also a carrier of a plethora of diseases, sour and bitter. It's better that you just let me go—"
"Eat, or be eaten by me." Chu Chen steeled his expression and stared at the pitiful hamster. His gaze had been one of a hungry wolf.
"Little Hero…"
"Eat, or be eaten!" Seeing the little hamster making that ingratiating expression again, Chu Chen decided to ramp up the act. He grabbed the hamster and brought it closer to his mouth. "I'm so hungry. That's it, I'll take a taste—"
"I'll eat it! I'll eat it okay?"
Seeing Chu Chen's wide opened mouth, the hamster could not have helped but let out a sigh, seemingly having resigned itself to its fate. It did not expect to run into a human with the blood pact elixir.
Chu Chen immediately made a prick on his finger and squeezed a drop of blood onto the elixir. The scarlet elixir had been like a sponge, having absorbed all the blood in just an instant. On its surface, a vague golden pattern started appearing.
"There." Chu Chen placed the elixir before the hamster. The hamster looked uninterested. Seeing the scarlet blood pact elixir, its paws subconsciously held onto the elixir. Its beady eyes had actually teared up.
"My child...I'll be gone. From today, the supreme king of beasts would be a slave for a human...don't feel sad for me. With my wisdom and intelligence, I won't let myself be harmed by this small matter. One day, I shall—"
Seeing the hamster having rambled on while having held onto the elixir, Chu Chen grew impatient. When its mouth was open, Chu Chen took the opportunity to shove the elixir into its mouth.
"Cough cough cough...are you trying to f*cking choke me to death!?" The hamster that had prepared to make a long winded speech had been choked by the sudden squeeze.
However, the elixir melted the moment it entered its mouth and did not cause it to suffer much. Very soon, a layer of reddish glow shimmered between the little hamster's white fur and a series of light golden colored patterns appeared on its body.
"Sob sob sob...I've finally fallen to such a state…"
Seeing the blood pact elixir's power spreading throughout its body, the little hamster broke into tears. "Back then, I ruled over heaven and earth…" All the while, the little hamster dropped to the floor and tried to run away.
"Where are you going?" Chu Chen looked at the little hamster, asking curiously.
"What else can I do? What do you want me to do? I've already eaten the blood pact elixir. What else do you want?" The little hamster looked at Chu Chen. Its expression had clearly been dispirited, as though a wife that had been bullied. "If you don't nurture me properly with elixirs in the future, I'll never let you go even in death! I need to settle some matters now and will come back for you after that!" Saying that, it disappeared into the darkness angrily.
'This hamster has quite the personality.'
Chu Chen helplessly rubbed his nose. Ever since the little hamster ate the blood pact elixir, an extra awareness suddenly appeared in his mind. He vaguely felt the little hamster's location and controlled its current state. It felt as though he could have easily caused its soul to dissipate with just a thought.
'Alright, I think my junior sister will love this interesting hamster.'
However, Chu Chen had been more concerned about the little hamster's secret. It was obviously no ordinary hamster. Maybe it could have brought him more surprises in the future.
Chu Chen took a stretch. After the whole night's ordeal, he felt really hungry. Just as he was about to find something to eat, he felt a weird sensation in his soul.
It had been the mysterious eaglet clone of his!
It turned out that the hunger had been from the eaglet instead. He had been busy with the herb garden for the past few days and paid no attention to the eaglet. The eaglet had been the key for him to explore the Black Fog Valley!
Putting all else aside, having entered the Black Fog Valley to obtain the sect founder's Ring of Green Fortune Emperor was his first goal. He needed to have this eaglet grow quickly in order to have continued exploring the Black Fog Valley.


Due to a miraculous encounter, a Roc that was bigger than a mountain became a clone for the teenager, Chu Chen. Ever since then, he obtained the key to enter the divine tomb. Within the tomb is an immortal lady sealed inside a jade casket with ice. Inside it were countless immortal treasures, elixirs, magical tools, and so on, free for the taking!
