"Your Highness means to say that that historical remnant is not from the Ten Thousand Sword Manor but from an ancient cultivator sect?" 
Standing there, Chen Heng looked at Song Qi with a look of shock.
"That's right." 
Looking at Chen Heng's expression, Song Qi looked quite pleased and said, "I also just so happen to know the layout of that historical remnant.
"Right now, only ordinary martial artists have gathered, but true cultivators will be heading here soon.
"Right now is the best time to act."
He looked at Chen Heng sincerely and asked, "Does Commander Chen dare to come with me?"
Hearing this, Chen Heng fell silent for a while as if he was mulling things over.
Song Qi did not speak and interrupt him, and he silently looked at him as he waited.
Only after a while did Chen Heng speak. He looked at Song Qi and said earnestly, "Since Your Highness is unafraid, then your subordinate will protect you to the death."
He had succeeded.
Song Qi gave a slight smile as he thought to himself.
With Chen Heng joining him and with his understanding towards that historical remnant, he had great chances of being able to obtain many benefits from that historical remnant.
Even though the historical remnant was not the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect's ancestral land, it had been a stronghold for them and there were many good things there.
As long as he did some serious planning, he might be able to take those things away before the true cultivators arrived.
When that time came, everything would become much easier for him.
As he thought to himself, he could not help but smile.
Compared to martial artists, cultivators were much more difficult to deal with. Not only did they have powerful talent, but they also had immense resources.
Without spirit medicines and spirit stones, it would be incredibly difficult to cultivate. Even geniuses would be set behind by this and waste much time.
In his previous life, even Enlightened Master Chen had obtained a secret legacy from a historical remnant, which was why he had been able to soar to the sky.
As for the reborn Song Qi, he did not lack magic techniques, secret techniques, or cultivation experience.
The only thing he lacked right now were spirit materials.
And it just so happened that this Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect historical remnant had them all.
If he could head there and obtain some treasures, he would have a much better grasp over his cultivation in the early stages.
Looking at Song Qi, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he also thought to himself.
In order to convince Chen Heng, Song Qi had told him much about the historical remnant, which made Chen Heng quite curious.
How did Song Qi know about all of this?
He was curious, but he could not think of an answer.
However, Chen Heng did not mind going to the historical remnant.
Just like how Song Qi was lacking spirit materials, so did Chen Heng.
He had not felt this before he had come into contact with a cultivation technique, but after he did, he realized that cultivators required much more resources than martial artists.
Martial artists did not need external resources; even if they did, it was just some medicine-type resources.
However, cultivators were different, and Chen Heng had experienced this in recent times.
Cultivators relied more on external resources and needed spirit materials.
From how things were going, it seemed that his body's cultivation talent was very good.
Despite this, he still had not completed the first step, Foundation Building, in two to three months.
According to the Bright Moon Foundation Technique, all cultivators needed to do Foundation Building.
Foundation Building was the beginning of cultivation. Only by extracting spirit energy and turning it into the foundation of their cultivation could they begin cultivating.
After Foundation Building was Qi Refining.
This was different than what Chen Heng had expected, Qi Refining then Foundation Building.
According to the Bright Moon Foundation Technique and Song Qi's explanations, Foundation Building was not too difficult.
At the very least, for Chen Heng, who was at the Martial Illumination realm, it should not be difficult.
Martial Illumination meant that his body was already well-trained. With this foundation, it would not be too difficult to cultivate a cultivation technique.
However, just this step, even with Chen Heng's talent, had taken him a long time.
Even now, he was still stuck.
This was only the first step, and Qi Refining would most likely be even more difficult.
Without spirit materials, it would be difficult for him to make progress.
As such, both him and Song Qi both needed spirit materials to cultivate.
Given that the historical remnant was filled with spirit materials, it would be worth it to go in and explore.
This was especially so given that Song Qi seemed to have confidence in finding his way around.
Of course, Chen Heng could not help but hold some wariness towards Song Qi.
Chen Heng had considered if Song Qi was using him as a pawn.
This was definitely possible but not very probable.
After all, Chen Heng had behaved very well recently, like an incredibly loyal guard. No one would be able to find any fault with him.
Furthermore, the talent he displayed was quite extraordinary as well.
As such, it was not very likely that he was being used as a pawn.
Of course, this was still a possibility.
It was just that Chen Heng was not a god, so he naturally could not know everything.
...........
If things really developed in that way, he could only adapt based on the situation.
Fortunately, at the end of the day, this was just a simulation.
...
After making the decision to head to the historical remnant, they headed into the distance.
On the way, they encountered many people.
As news of the Ten Thousand Sword Manor's historical remnant spread, many people quickly swarmed over.
Chen Heng and Song Qi hid among a crowd of people, not drawing attention to themselves at all.
However, what happened next still exceeded Chen Heng's expectations.
Massive doors stood before them, and the enormous historical remnant could be seen, seeming incredibly grand and magnificent.
Standing there, Chen Heng looked at Song Qi with a look of shock on his face.
What was going on indeed made him feel greatly shocked.
Before coming here, he had felt that Song Qi perhaps knew things that other people did not.
However, he did not expect that it would be to such an extent.
After reaching the surroundings, Song Qi brought Chen Heng and searched around for a few days, and he soon found the specific location.
At another corner of the Chi Mountain, there was a hidden entrance to the historical remnant.
From this entrance, they could directly enter the historical remnant.
If anyone else knew about this, they would most likely go mad.
News about the historical remnant had only spread, and most other people were randomly digging everywhere, hoping to dig up some good things.
However, Song Qi had directly found the entrance to the inner regions of the historical remnant.
This was a massive difference.
He hasn't found this historical remnant in the past… 
Standing there, Chen Heng thought to himself.
He had been watching Song Qi's actions from the very beginning.
When Song Qi had initially come here, Chen Heng had thought that he had come here before.
However, Song Qi's actions caused Chen Heng to rethink this.
Song Qi indeed knew much about this historical remnant, but it did not seem that he had actually been here before.
Chen Heng could tell this from the fact that he needed to search around, and it took him half a month to find this door.
Knowledge was different than experience.
Chen Heng thought to himself.
"Let's continue on." 
Looking at the scene before him, Song Qi smiled, "Our luck is quite good; it seems that no one has actually entered this historical remnant yet."
Right now, he was most likely the person who knew the most about this historical remnant.
Through his previous life, he knew that this historical remnant was actually very, very big and was split into many different regions.
What the first wave of people had discovered and were digging was just the outer regions.
On the other hand, this was the core.


After dying, Chen Heng finds that he has transmigrated to an alternate reality: everything is the same, except the world is now a Wuxia world heavily influenced by martial arts! Not only this, he discovers that he has a Fantasy Simulator, from which he obtains rewards that make him incredibly powerful in his new reality as well. Martial arts, immortal cultivation, and overpowered abilities--all of this begins from a single simulation!

As Zhao Fu considered how to attack the Dark Demon world, a medallion within Zhao Fu's spatial ring gave off a faint purple light; that was the Cosmos Medallion.
Zhao Fu took out the Cosmos Medallion and took a look at it, and he found that the Cosmos Historical Remnant was about to open. This made Zhao Fu feel quite surprised, as the Cosmos Historical Remnant only opened once every ten years, and it was only the ninth year; it should only open next year.
Zhao Fu had never expected the Cosmos Historical Remnant to open early, one year earlier than in the past. Had something unexpected happened?
Zhao Fu was not sure as to the reason, but he was still quite interested in the Cosmos Historical Remnant. Legends said that it was a historical remnant left behind by a higher-being, and it was the largest historical remnant in the surrounding ten or so Domains. There were countless treasures within it, and even after over 1,000 years of exploration, there were still unexplored areas.
This was enough to show how valuable the Cosmos Historical Remnant was. It was a historical remnant that countless people in the surrounding ten or so Domains wanted to enter so that they could obtain many of treasures and opportunities.
In order to obtain this Cosmos Medallion, Zhao Fu had challenged the Ten Thousand Dragon Stage. He had wanted to make some gains within the Cosmos Historical Remnant, and this was the same for the various factions, which wanted to send their elite disciples in.
Apart from the Dynasties and Sects in the surrounding ten or so Domains, some people from ordinary factions and some rogue cultivators would also go. Anyone who had a Cosmos Medallion would be able to enter.
There would definitely be many people, which would mean intense battles that would be incredibly bloody.
Zhao Fu had never expected the Cosmos Historical Remnant to open ahead of time, so he had not collected any information about it. Luckily the Cosmos Medallion gave off light to give him some advance warning. He still had a bit of time, so he immediately ordered people to collect all information on the Cosmos Historical Remnant.
Information was incredibly important, as this would save him from wasting time or making mistakes and suffering losses.
Boom!
Within the Dao Cultivation Sect, a massive explosion sounded out as a powerful shockwave spread out. A five-colored light spilled down from the sky as if a peerless expert was appearing.
Countless people from the Dao Cultivation Sect looked up in shock and could not help but start to cheer. The Dao Cultivation Sect's Elders came out and smiled as they looked at that person.
The person in the sky was dressed in white clothes and looked extremely elegant. He looked a bit like Bai Haoran, but the aura he gave off far surpassed Bai Haoran. He was Bai Haoran's older brother, Bai Shengjun, the person who had been taken as a disciple by a higher-being.
Now that the Cosmos Historical Remnant was going to open, he had returned from the Heaven Domain, but no one else knew about this.
Everyone looked up in excitement and admiration. This person was the peerless genius of the Ancient Stem Domain, the most talented person in the recent 1,000 years. All geniuses dimmed in front of him.
Bai Shengjun descended from the sky and countless people immediately crowded around him, calling out respectfully, excitedly, fawningly, and affectionately, "Senior Apprentice Brother!"
"Big bro!" Bai Haoran stood by the side and excitedly called out. It was evident that their relationship as brothers was quite good.
Bai Shengjun courteously responded to all of them and turned to look at Bai Haoran as he grinned and said, "Haoran, in the time I've been gone, your cultivation has improved quite a bit!"
Bai Haoran laughed embarrassedly, "How can my cultivation speed compare to yours? You're already the disciple of a higher-being."
Bai Haoran lightly laughed and said, "Then you have to work hard! If you perform well, I can recommend you to Master. Master's a very good person."
Hearing this, Bai Haoran felt extremely excited and earnestly nodded.
"Jun'Er, why are you back?" The Dao Cultivation Sect's Sect Master walked out as he looked at Bai Shengjun.
Bai Shengjun bowed to the Dao Cultivation Sect's Sect Master. The Sect Master was like a father to him, and he said, "Master, the Cosmos Historical Remnant is about to open and there's something within it that I need. As such, I came specifically to obtain that item."
"What? Senior Apprentice Brother Bai is here for the Cosmos Historical Remnant? With him leading us, we'll be invincible. With Senior Apprentice Brother Bai here, anyone who offends the Dao Cultivation Sect will be seeking death."
Countless people with Cosmos Medallions could not help but cry out. With such a powerful person like Bai Shengjun backing them, they did not have to worry in the Cosmos Historical Remnant at all.
A while later, Bai Haoran and Bai Shengjun returned to their courtyard. Bai Shengjun sensed something and asked, "Haoran, why do you have such little Fate? You seem to only have the Dao Cultivation Sect's Fate; weren't you ranked first on the Ancient Stem Rankings?"
Hearing this, Bai Haoran, who had been in good spirits, looked quite bitter as he replied, "The first-ranked person this year isn't me but an extremely terrifying person. I wasn't a match for him at all and did not even have the rights to be called an opponent."
Hearing this, Bai Shengjun felt quite shocked. He could accept someone being able to defeat his little brother, but to deal such a mental blow to his little brother, he was sure that no ordinary person could do such a thing.
"What happened? Tell me about it," Bai Shengjun said. Following this, Bai Haoran told Bai Shengjun about what had happened at the Ancient Stem Banquet.
After hearing from Bai Haoran, Bai Shengjun's expression became quite serious. He had never expected such a terrifying figure to appear in the short time that he had left.
Facing such a person, even Bai Shengjun felt a trace of pressure. However, he soon laughed because it had been a long time since anyone had been able to make him feel this way. He felt confident that he could defeat that person.
Everyone's expressions in the Ancient Sword Sect were quite heavy. The Cosmos Historical Remnant was about to open, but they had no one to send. Gu Jian, who had been ranked first in the Ancient Sword Sect, had gone into a half-demonic state and could not maintain consciousness. How could they allow him to enter the Cosmos Historical Remnant?
The second, third and fifth-ranked disciples, as well as many other elite disciples had also been killed by that despicable person. They could only send the fourth-ranked person and a few others into the Cosmos Historical Remnant.
It was evident that their gains this time would be quite small. The Ancient Sword Sect did not have the strength to contend with the other factions, and it could be said that they had already lost without even fighting.
This caused the Ancient Sword Sect's hatred towards Zhao Fu to become even deeper. Now, they were already thinking of hundreds of ways to torture and kill Zhao Fu, or else they would not be able to quench their hatred.
Within the Heavenly Music Sect, the Sect Master said gently, "Yin'Er, this time things will be quite dangerous. Not only has Bai Shengjun returned to the Ancient Stem Domain, but it is also said that that Emperor has obtained a Cosmos Medallion and that he might enter too. If you avoid the two of them, you should be able to obtain great gains.
"Also, try to take care of the other disciples from our Sect, especially your boisterous Junior Apprentice Brother. Keep an eye on him and make sure that he doesn't make trouble."


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

Ji Chang, He Can, and the others arrived outside the valley after escaping. When the music stopped, they turned around in dread.
"Lin Feng and Prince Qin must be both dead," said Yin Gu Tian, staring at the valley.
Ji Chang said icily, "If Prince Qin is dead, good for him. However, it'd be a pity if Lin Feng was dead."
"Ji Chang, I thought you wanted Lin Feng to die," He Can said to Ji Chang.
"I want to kill him myself. He's a genius, it would be a pity if he died in the valley," said Ji Chang. He almost felt sad for Lin Feng. He hated him, but Lin Feng was famous and extremely strong. Even though Ji Chang hated and had been humiliated by Lin Feng, he admired him for his talent. He hoped to fight against him again someday. If Lin Feng had just died in the valley, then it would never come to pass!
—
At that moment, Lin Feng was traveling across the valley. Finally, he arrived in front of an enchained silhouette. His hair was messy, and his face was silver. Even though he was bound, his Qi was still unbelievable. Lin Feng had the impression he was facing a king.
Lin Feng looked around, and saw two gigantic hands and a gigantic cauldron. The only thing which protected the area was the music.
"Saint's hands?" Lin Feng shivered and stared at the trapped man. "Master, how may I help you?"
"I've been waiting for so long… Little boy, you're lucky, you've obtained two feet, and now you can take these two hands and the cauldron. That way, you'll have obtained the whole body of the Saint. For you, these items must be precious. The Saint wasn't a mere emperor. With the body of an emperor, you just deserve to be called a cultivator. A Saint's body, however, is incredible, it's the body of someone who has transcended worldliness and attained holiness," the man said to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng remained silent. To this man, a emperor barely deserved the right to be called a cultivator.
A Saint's body was complete!
Lin Feng glanced at the hands and the cauldron and looked at the strong cultivator. "Does the Saint's body prevent you from doing anything?"
"Of course, it oppresses my strength. You can take it away," replied the silver-eyed cultivator.
Lin Feng understood that he was too weak to negotiate. That strong cultivator just had to exhale and he could kill Lin Feng. Besides, taking the Saint's body was a great thing for him!
Lin Feng whisked away the hands and the cauldron. The silver-eyed cultivator raised his head and took a deep breath. He looked extremely happy.
"Thank you very much, little boy. Now, things should change here," said the strong cultivator. He sounded like an ancient person. He took a deep breath and suddenly, more soundwaves condensed, and dashed to the skies.
"Come out, dear friends!" said the bound man. The soundwaves thrummed and echoed far away. The music could be heard everywhere in the area.
Many people raised their heads after hearing the soundwaves above their heads, and had the sensation they were going to collapse. How oppressive! They felt so tiny…
The terrifying soundwaves spread across hundreds of kilometers, and moved towards the hole in the sky. Golden pieces kept falling from the sky. A strong cultivator in the golden lights opened his eyes, the orbs shining with light.
Finally, after so many years, they were recovering!
The soundwaves continued spreading. They moved into the black hole, it seemed about to collapse. The cultivator in the black hole raised his head, his eyes ice-cold.
In the emerald-green forest, the golden mountains, the ice world… the soundwaves kept spreading, and all the historical remains started shaking violently. Those who were in the historical remains were shocked. The evil spirits in the historical remains also started trembling.
Outside of the historical remains, many waiting emperors who were waiting gazed into the distance. Many geniuses had already died, how many more would die? How many people would obtain ancient treasures?
Geniuses of every generation went to the historical remains. Many of them had the impression it wasn't worth it, but at the same time, many geniuses really wanted to try because if they obtained anything, it was something incredible. If they did, it was also great for their Dynasties!
The people who were waiting outside looked calm. They knew that the geniuses wouldn't come out of the historical remains that quickly.
Explosions began to shake the air and interrupted the soundwaves. They all opened their eyes and stared at the entrances of the historical remains.
"What's going on?"
Those just watching shivered as the thunder seemed to spread. Had a great battle started?
BOOM!
A gigantic hole appeared in the side of the mountain, and a new world appeared. The people were astonished. Had the entities the Saints sealed had just been released?
What happened?, thought the shaken watchers.
"Quick, inform the Holy Emperors and the elders!"
"Tell them to come!"
People were panicking. The creatures of the historical remains had surprisingly broken free. It meant that this world could also be connected to the outside world.
——
"This world has broken apart?" The Holy Spirit Dynasty received the news, people were trembling. It was the second astonishing thing that had had happened in such a short time. The previous time was because of Lin Feng!
"Has it broken apart?" The Tianci Dynasty also received the news.
"My son died, the world of the historical remains has broken apart, I really want to see what's going on inside!" said a voice in the Qin Dynasty.
Qi Tian Holy Town started bursting into motion. All the Dynasties dispatched people to the historical remains.
——
At that moment, in the world of the historical remains, the people there were stunned. The most surprised person in the world of the historical remains was probably Lin Feng, however. His eyes were glittering. He was staring at the strength rolling through the sky. He had never thought that taking the Saint's body would have such consequences. He had taken a big risk!
At the broken altar, Saint Tianhun shivered. He had chased Lin Feng, Lin Feng had gone to the valley, and now something big was happening, was that the will of Heaven?
He was grim. For him, all this wasn't a good thing. He finally had the opportunity to gain a body, and in the end he failed.
Chu Chun Qiu killed another strong cultivator at that moment, and then the ground started shaking. He sighed, knowing it wouldn't be easy to kill more people now. Otherwise, everybody would attack him. He recalled his Qi, and the sense of evil about him faded away. He knew that if he wasn't discreet, people wouldn't be nice to him. He also knew that after breaking through to the Di Qi layer, things would get easier. He had not managed to absorb a king-type body yet!
Some new people started coming into the world of the historical remains, and very quickly they bumped into geniuses who told them the news.
A strong cultivator landed on the ground and asked, "What happened? Have the Saints appeared?"
"We don't know. We haven't seen the historical remains. We only saw a skeleton, which was taken by Lin Feng. Then, we ended up in a dark hole and there was a terrifying demon within, it might have been a saint."
"Bring me to the demon in the dark hole," ordered the leader of the new group. By the time they arrived, the black hole had already exploded, turning into a gigantic crater. The terrifying demon raised his head and looked up at them icily.

This was made purely for fun and not for profit. 

Lin Feng tried to be the diligent and hard-working good guy. He studied hard, did his best to make his family proud, and not get into trouble, but when he saw a girl being taken advantage of, he had to intervene. He had been tricked, sentenced to 10 years in jail and framed for a crime he never committed, all was lost. If his life was over he would take those who ruined his life with him

Suddenly he opens his eyes again. He is not dead, but alive in the body of the Lin Feng of a different world. This Lin Feng had been killed as trash of cultivation. This world where the strong had no regard for human life and would kill freely if they had the strength. Called “trash” and thrown away, with vengeance in his heart he will rise to new heights opposing the will of heaven and earth.

“Do not judge others in ignorance within my presence.

Those who think to harm someone should be ready to be harmed.

Those who are open and respectful shall receive my kindness and respect.

Those who plot against me are seeking their own death.

This is true, for I am death… I am Lin Feng”. . . . .

Of course, Zhou Zhipeng did not expect anything from it. He still firmly believed that this website was only scooping up those unwanted, unprotected writing to fill up their library. These hollow literary works were probably unpleasant to read; these web novels were only good for filling the blanks.
An experienced reader, and amateur writer, Zhou Zhipeng had very high standards. Such hollow literature would kill his brain inside out.
Historical literature tested the standards of an author, which was why Zhou Zhipeng found the genre most intriguing. An amateur or inexperienced writer could never write an interesting historical story. They could always refer to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, write about various famous generals, tactician, and beauties, and their gullible readers would be led into believing that they were extraordinary writers...
Meanwhile, talented historical literature writers could produce a work full of content, using a writing style that last saw daylight centuries ago. Even their poetry would bring tears to the eyes of the learned reader. That was the reason why fans of historical literature were so scarce but extremely loyal.
A historical literature in Qidian had once got into the top monthly ranking with just thirteen chapters in one month. Evidently, it was quite a read.
In conclusion, a decent historical literature would attract many fans, and they would support it from the bottom of their hearts.
The novel that Zhou Zhipeng was reading was called "Grand Vizier." The title already implied the story revolving around an official in the feudal times. Some readers might find it interesting. Whenever a modern person went back through time, he would most likely conquer the land and crown himself, not end up as a subordinate to someone else.
But Zhou Zhipeng did not have the palate to appreciate it. It was boring if historical literature was all about becoming an emperor, inventing new technology, or even starting a revolution. He just believed that historical literature should be full of quality content, and also enjoyed reading novels about those who went back to ancient times to enjoy the scenery and the slice of life.
This "Grand Vizier" was one of the famous literary works in the "Source World." A plagiarist had written it. The golden finger of this plagiarist was unique, he could "invite" those historical characters to possess him so that he could experience the historical moment. He could then recreate those historical moments to his readers in his novel, and it was so accurate, that even professors who specialized in history would not be able to match up.
It was understandable. He had the ability to experience those historical moments in person, while those professors could only analyze and speculate.
Of course, this plagiarist also came from another parallel world. "Grand Vizier" was written based on the historical events of his world, "Dynasty Chu."
The rules and regulation of Dynasty Chu were similar to Dynasty Ming; the imperial examinations were very strict, and the path of the protagonist was clear, he must first pass through the imperial test to become a scholar, be a successful candidate in the examination, followed by the highest imperial examination. This story progression was interesting and linear; it was only the matter of time before it became famous!
Sadly, not many writers could deliver ups and downs like the great legends out there!
If the plagiarist did not have such a golden finger, he definitely could not have produced such work!
At first, Zhou Zhipeng thought this novel followed the same old conventional route. The protagonist was an unknown scholar, but the author took his time to describe the protagonist background in detail, pulling his readers into his world of Dynasty Chu...
Surprisingly, he found himself glued to the story. He felt that he and the protagonist actually shared something in common. He could remain stable and calm, even as his relatives attempted to incriminate him. He would always face each hurdle with calm and logic. Under his gentle face was a hideous personality. He could always plan his revenge without letting anyone know about it. Time and again did his relatives have to pay for it!
An unknown scholar like the protagonist needed to change his fate by acing the imperial examination. Before he could do that, he would face many trials. Whenever he solved a puzzle, readers would be cheering over his shoulder. The author would also throw some ancient beauties along the way to make things more interesting!
Zhou Zhipeng certainly did not expect to spend eight hours to catch up to the latest update. To be more precise, he had not expected anything whatsoever!
This author knew how to grab his readers by the balls. His latest chapter ended in a cliffhanger, just before the release of the imperial examination. The Protagonist had passed his first and second exams with flying colors; surely he would do well in this examination as well.
Even though Zhou Zhipeng knew that the protagonist would pass his exams, he wanted to know how he did it! He wanted to know how his adversaries would react to it, after all the snaking and cheating and favors they pulled!
In Dynasty Chu, everyone knew that the highest imperial examination could change a person's status.
Before the examination, the protagonist had been bullied and suppressed by his opponents; all the problems would be solved when the protagonist aces his examination.
It was just like hollow literature about how a protagonist leveled up by killing monsters. Before gaining a special ability, the protagonist would go through lots of trouble, with the antagonist constantly stomping on their faces. When the protagonist gained enough levels, it would be time for him to teach those who bullied him a lesson, talking about how "You messed with the wrong person"!
Before Zhou Zhipeng spent his next eight hours reading this novel, he actually tried searching for a pirated version of this novel as he usually did, but came up short. Feeling helpless, he topped up a little in order to continue reading this novel...
After Zhou Zhipeng finished this novel in one go, the only complaint in his mind was "Why isn't this f*cking son of a b*tch updating his latest chapter already!?"
He also did not understand why this author who called himself "Historical Observer" had not posted his novel on Qidian. It would have been a chart topper!
Little did he know that almost all of the novels in "Source World" had already found a reader who was thinking just like him...


An introverted girl has had enough of the isolation inadvertently formed by her solitary nature. Things changed when she discovers that she has the ability to transverse across the fabric of our universe into the dimensions of multiple storylines. Not only do these storylines leave her with invaluable lessons - they also impart a portion of their power - if she is deserving of it. The time has come for Zhao Youyue to change her fate. Never again, will she remain as a Side-Character!

Watching Fang Zhao's speed of ascent before taking a look at those other police officers in the screen, Eric thought to himself, I didn't realize they were that slow normally!
Too little training indeed!
At this moment, a police officer on the roof deck made a report to Eric. "Our deployment at the bow of the ship was complete, but the suspect suddenly changed his direction and is headed to the side!"
"Why is he running over there?" Eric queried.
"I remember that there is an SVIP area on the 17th floor. The balcony there doesn't have any surveillance," Fang Zhao replied in the same comms channel.
Hearing this, Eric understood what Fang Zhao meant right away.
"There is indeed a royal high-end suite on the 17th floor with private balconies. Does that person intend to jump from the roof to the 17th floor?"
The whole SVIP area on the 17th floor did not have any surveillance monitors, nor were there any police officers there. Most importantly, the statuses of the people staying there were even more special, and they were more particular about privacy. Normally, they would simply not allow the police access to search and investigate that area.
Was the suspect's intention to once again evade the surveillance and then change into a new disguise?
Fang Zhao's conjecture really made sense. Eric also agreed with it.
"We can't let him go down! Who is the nearest to the place?" Eric asked.
"The men from T squad... and Fang Zhao," another police officer replied.
At this moment, the suspect, who had already arrived at the side of the ship, jumped decisively without so much as a hint of hesitation. No random person would have the guts to jump from such a height at this sort of place. It was obvious that he had made preparations beforehand and probably had equipment on him.
However, the members of T squad, who were in pursuit, were not as adequately prepared, and they did not have any equipment for descending. The distance between the roof deck and the 17th floor was only three stories, but dropping down straight was dangerous if one wasn't careful. Whether it was falling into the ocean or landing on the decks of another floor, there was a risk of suffering fatal injuries. At least, according to past statistical data from accidents.
T squad slowed down and waited for equipment to be delivered to them before jumping off and descending. On the other hand, Fang Zhao, who had appeared at almost the same time as T squad, did not pause at all.
The few people watching the situation unfold through the surveillance system were once more startled.
"Is he going to..."
"Jump into the ocean!"
"Fang Zhao, don't be impulsive! The suspect dared to jump because he came prepared. Don't think that the plaything in your hands can ensure your safety! Dropping into the ocean at this time is not amusing at all!" Eric exclaimed. He was extremely anxious when he saw Fang Zhao's position.
Yet as Eric was spewing out these words, Fang Zhao had already leaped off the deck and was falling.
"Save him!" Eric howled.
————
Inside a special high-grade custom-made suite on the 17th floor.
The preinstalled phone in the room was ringing constantly, as if it wouldn't stop till its purpose had been accomplished.
Roman's eyebrows knitted as he frowned. He didn't want to break his train of thoughts to answer the phone.
Following that, his personal comms device also rang. If the call was from close family members or friends, the notification tone would have been different. Thus, the incoming call was from an unknown number.
Since he did not know the caller, there was no need to take notice of it.
Now was probably around the time when the auction was starting. Perhaps some person had managed to get his contact information through certain means and was harassing him with the continuous calls.
Under normal circumstances, perhaps Roman might have answered, but right now, his inspiration was overflowing and his train of thought was in a superb state, just like painters not wishing to take a break while they were still painting and composers not liking being disturbed when composing. This was totally trying to start a feud!
What a bother!
Roman scratched his head agitatedly. His somewhat disheveled hair became even messier.
He took large strides over to shut off the room's preinstalled phone and set his own communications device to silent mode. After that, he hurriedly returned to the screen and continued his deep musings.
Roman's eyes were bloodshot from staring at the screens for so long. He still had the same expression of unparalleled concentration as he studied every subtle expression of the characters displayed on the screen.
He watched the audition videos of a few actors and compared them to some historical video resources and felt that there still was something missing. Thinking about it more, he brought up videos of Fang Zhao again.
He kept studying videos of Fang Zhao. Those from his military service and those from normal entertainment media reports. Every time he studied these videos, he gained something new.
"This expression, so good. It's 30% cultured, 70% unyielding. That's more like it!"
"This is very good too. Composed enough, incisive, and steady!"
"Crossing swords in the fires of war tempers a person indeed..."
With his bloodshot eyes, Director Roman was like a crazed maniac chanting an incantation as he mumbled to himself. He had been tired, but he had gained a second wind and was stimulated. Even the ocean breeze flowing through the window was unable to calm him down.
Watching video after video in succession and analyzing them carefully, Roman discovered that Fang Zhao was simply just like the Fang Zhao from all those historical video resources!
Not in terms of his physical appearance, but this was what Roman felt when looking at Fang Zhao's expressions.
But if he was more stringent, they weren't exactly the same.
Comparing the two, the Fang Zhao from the historical video resources had a much more frightening aura emanating from him. His imposing manner was even more terrifying. The sort of fire and blood vibe that seemingly was capable of transcending the screen was not something actors could easily replicate.
The historical video resources that had been preserved were limited, and Roman did not know the true nature of the historical Fang Zhao. All he could do was use these resources as a foundation before gradually carving the image of this historical figure into his mind.
Having gone through numerous resources, especially precious videos preserved from the Period of Destruction, Roman already had a vague idea of the image of this Fang Zhao. When he saw these videos and photographs before him, it once more helped make the image in Roman's mind clearer.
When audiences spoke about a certain role, they would always associate it with the actor who played the role. However, an actor was the direct transmission of a director's thoughts.
When "Founding Era" started filming, what the actors acted out would be what Nova Roman envisioned.
Perhaps it might be different from the actual historical figure, but at least this role would be Nova Roman's own version modeled according to historical resources!
And Fang Zhao was indeed a good template and an important reference.
Roman sighed with regret. "What a pity!"
If Fang Zhao was an actor with many years of experience, Roman would have contacted him for an audition. Unfortunately, he was an industry outsider.
"But his expressions are still really good, and his mannerisms are decent too. He has reference value. I'll just buy some video copyrights when the time comes."
Mumbling to himself, Roman took a little step forward and leaned closer toward the screen. He looked at Fang Zhao's photograph displayed on the left side of the screen, then observed the screenshot taken of Fang Zhao from one of the historical videos.
"There is just a little something lacking in that imposing manner."
Roman wouldn't insist on that frightening aura. That had been honed by the martyr Fang Zhao for decades from close to a century of fighting for survival in a fiery hell, whereas the Fang Zhao on the screen in front had grown up and lived in the peaceful New Era. Even the most top-notch actor might not necessarily be able to act this out, and there was no need for placing such high demands on Fang Zhao.
You win some, you lose some.
"How rare it is to find such a good template. I have to study this more, and when I'm explaining to the actors how to act, I can show them these videos."
Roman enlarged the photograph of Fang Zhao.
"I still feel like there is a little something lacking..."
"Right, too young!"
"Some wrinkles should be added, and the scars. The face needs some fine tuning to raise his domineering look!"
Roman extended his hand, preparing to use some software to age the person in the photograph and add on scars and others details to make the photograph closer to the image he had in his mind, but he suddenly heard activity coming from the balcony. Turning his head over, he saw a figure tumble onto the balcony and rush over to the interior.
A stranger using this sort of method to intrude into this sort of place at this sort of time could only be described as "not a good person"!
Alarm bells were already ringing in Roman's head. However, before he could react, another figure descended from the top and tumbled onto the balcony. At the same time, a snake-like whip flashed across.
The suspect that had successfully landed on the balcony of this suite on the 17th floor was about to silence the person in the room and prevent said person from calling for help or making a police report, but just before he could do so, he felt his legs be looped and pulled under him as he crashed into the floorboards with a loud bang. Immediately afterward, his entire body was bound up like a dumpling.
The suspect was in a daze at the sudden mishap that had occurred in the blink of an eye. Glancing at the rope binding him, the cartoon illustrations on it appeared to be sneering at him.
He thrashed about a few times trying to break free, then stopped moving.
With the cold muzzle of a gun pressed to the back of his head, who would dare move?!
Once Fang Zhao had subdued the suspect, he intended to explain to the guest in the room to prevent any misunderstandings arising. As he looked up at the person in the room and clearly saw the situation in the room, he was rooted for two seconds before saying, "Handling a police case. Please do not panic."
As he said that, Fang Zhao brought up the electronic warrant that Eric had sent him, proving that he was assisting the police with this case.
The suspect, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, did not dare make any large movements. All he could do was carefully twist his neck and rotate his eyebrows to analyze the surrounding conditions and seek a chance to escape.
Sneaking a peak at the person behind him who was pointing a gun at his head, the suspect cursed silently. Where did the police get this sort of godly person? Even his landing after that jump was much smoother than mine!
With this intuition and skill, you could work at any of the 12 large Cemetery of Martyrs. If you have the time, why not go deal with terrorists or head to foreign planets to fight for merit? What reason do you have to stay on a cruise ship as a small cop! Why did you have to f*cking take note of me?!
The suspect carefully turned his neck again and looked toward the front. When he saw the situation in the room, he froze too.
Inside the room, the walls were adorned with many mounted screens. There were videos, screenshots, and photographs on every screen. There were different backdrops: jungles, cities, streets, stages, and so on. The person in the photos had different outfits. Some were military uniforms, while others were suited for events. Some of these images were full-length shots, while some were feature close-ups...
There were all the same person!
And they were exactly the same as the person behind him!
But he kept feeling that he had seen this person somewhere. The more he looked at it, the more familiar the person seemed.
After that, as if the suspect had thought of something, his eyes widened and he wished that his neck could just snap right now.
The wretched old fella in the room with an unkempt appearance and stubbly face, with his hand still on a photograph, seemed like the globally acclaimed director that had been a recent hot topic on the internet.
Furthermore, thinking about how famous, rich, and powerful people like him led their secret private lives, he felt his brain going through countless possibilities in a flash before he finally comprehended.
Unwritten. Rules!
The suspect that assumed he had discovered the truth wailed over his misfortune in his heart. Seems like I have just witnessed a transaction that can never ever see the light of day! Am I going to be silenced for good?
As for Nova Roman, who was standing in the room, he was also stupefied by the chain of unforeseen events. He had not expected that there would be people landing on the balcony of his suite in the SVIP area!
When he saw the way the dumpling-like person lying on the floor was staring at him, Roman was even more displeased.
Why do you have to stare at me like you think I'm an old pervert?!


"Every time background music plays in my head, I feel like there is nothing to be afraid of." —Fang Zhao
Toward the end of the apocalyptic period, Fang Zhao lost his life. However, instead of dying, he found himself 500 years later in the body of a young and aspiring composer who shared the same name. Having received a second chance at life, Fang Zhao sets out to achieve the previous owner's dreams.
Armed with the experience of living through an apocalyptic age and his profession as a composer before that period, Fang Zhao uses his talent, wits, and knowledge to make his mark in the entertainment industry of the future.

Hong Myung had arrived in Black Oriental Pharmacists where he had been working a part-time job. These Pharmacists only provide medicine and drugs for normal people. Abilities holder people don't have any effect of these types of medicines, Abilities holders only get the effect and slightly increased their strength with herbs & other material.
Hong Myung jobs in pharmacies to guard herbs garden because abilities holders had body strength higher than normal people so, Hong Myung had been hired which had slightly high strength than normal people.
Hong Myung is guarding the herbs garden; the staff of pharmacists is talking about the morning news and the latest news that the top three guilds had been recruiting detector and soldier of the high realm to explore the Historical heritage site due mana fluctuation detector equipment had failed.
Hong Myung suddenly open his mobile and search about recruiting about detector "Detector is being recruited by top three guilds to help in explored the Historical heritage site and each Detector average wages is eighty thousand dollars, No requirement is required only enlist your name for explored of Historical heritage site which can be done in any top three guilds"
After Hong Myung had finished his guarding hours, He planned to visit the guild which had recruiting detector.
It had been 4 pm so, The name can only be enlisted from 6 am to 5 am so he hurries arrived in the sun-light guild entrance which near his part-time job place, but he is disappointed by seeing that he had arrived late.
So, Hong Myung returns to his home.
At morning, Hong Myung had wake early than other days by seeing this her sister
Jin-Yoong said "Oppa today are you not feeling well"
By listening to his sister word, Hong Myung slightly smile and said "Jin-Yoong, I have some personal work so, Today I have to leave early so don't make breakfast for me"
By saying this Hong Myung had left the house and arrived at the guild entrance building to enlist his name.
Hong Myung had filled the form which contains his personal details and summited it to the guild. Guild reception gave the Hong Myung identity card which is required to explore the Historical heritage site with them.
In the identity card of Hong Myung, there is his personal information, the top three guild permit stamp plus the explore date which is after 3 days.
Unit the present day there were many appearances of Historical heritage sites. In the heritage site, there is not any demon, beast, and monster only there is some trap that may be life-threatening.
Hong Myung is a relief that this Historical heritage site explore is not dangerous
Because this team will be led by a king abilities holder of the medium realm, Ji-hu who is very popular in different states and who had many experiences in exploring. It is said, that Ji-Hu has abilities to cracked any traps and also had great closed combat abilities which are from ancient's martial art so, He had participated in many Historical heritage sites explore in other cities.
Hong Myung had received his advance wage which is a good thing for him,
Hong Myung returns home. In these few days, he had preparing leave letter for his Part-time jobs. Hong Myung had also paid his mother hospital bills and also given remaining money to her sister. According to experts to explore these heritage sites a minimum twenty days is required so he had prepared all things before leaving.
Hong Myung didn't explain anything to his sister, to not make her worried. He only tells her that he going out of Seoul for 25 days.
Hong Jin-Yoong knows that his brother doesn't explain anything when he was going in out of the city so, She also didn't ask for any explanation but she is always worried about her brother.
Today is the day to explore the Historical heritage site so Hong Myung leave home early and arrived at the Sun-light which is gathering place of all enlisted abilities holders for exploring'
The news reporter is banned in the surrounding place of the top three guilds to keep their guild information concealed so there is no reporter seen, which shows that the top three guilds are not simple.
Hong Myung was stunned by seeing many abilities holders which were in their casual clothes, most of them are holding Spade, Shovel, Hoe, Trowel, Pickaxe, and others used full instrument which is distributed by the top three guilds.
Suddenly in the crowd of ability holders, a bright light flashes in all present ability holder eyes from the Sun-light guild main building which was 20 stories which had the design of ancient times. The only member of Sun-light guild member and other higher position people can enter the guild main building.
At the top of the building, A man in white clothes and a black hat appeared which draw everyone's attention no can estimate that man age based on their abilities but they know that white clothes man must have a special position in the Sun-light guild. White Man wave his hand and Suddenly light burst out which are landed in enlisted abilities holder.
Suddenly All abilities holder fell their body light and relax also most of their injuries which are hidden also heal which caused them confused and also a good impression on white cloths man.
A light voice enters in everyone ear from the speaker "All present abilities holder, this is a little welcome gift from our Sun-Light guild master so that all of you can explore in your peaked health"
All the abilities holder suddenly remembers the rumors of Sun-light master that he can bring a person back to life from death until there is the last breath of a person.
By listening to this Hong Myung heart feel slightly ache and think "Sun-light master can certainly heal my mother but I can't even compare to an ant in his eyes so there is no hope"
Six people came from the main building which had a badge of sun-light and stands at the main building entrance which is noticed by all. They had the unique arura which make them felt relaxed in their heart.
Amongst six people, they all remember one of them who is Ji-hu leader of this explore team.
Five people formed five boots then start to call out the enlisted name and there are gathering of the enlisted names in each boot. Five teams are formed to explore the site.
Hong Myung had enlisted at the fourth team, there are about ten people in each team.
All team member has given their task, Hong Myung tasks were too detected material and other resources same as other teams detectors. In his team, there are four girls and six boys. Hong Myung was the youngest of all of them. Their group captain is Hyun-woo who is one of the five people of the sun-light guild.
A loud sound came from outside the entrance of the guild, there was a large transportation formation to transport the explored team in the historical heritage site. There are formation, talisman, and crystal refiner occupation which had been respected by all.  All the abilities holders had gone in transportation formation and arrived in Han-gang where the Historical heritage site is located.
Many news reports can be seen on-site, when they arrived all media are only focused on Ji-hu asking different questions about explored and his past experience.
There was a huge cave and outer entrance had craved with the ancient words, which have a height of entrance 2000 meter and contain a high amount of mana. Most of the abilities holders only saw this cave on TV but seeing it in a font made their jaw open.
All team formed five-line gone in heritage site and Ji-hu makes unique symbols in a wall of the cave and mentions his plan " All five team will explore this external part of heritage site with the different route which had less trap can handle by their team and collected information, material and carved inscription.
After 10 days we will meet in this place, we will all go to the core of this site to explore, those who are injured will be helped by there captain who is warrior level healer of the sun-light guild"
Then Ji-hu began to study the carved inscription on the wall.
All five teams had taken five different paths, began to explore the external part of the heritage site.

The Parallel dimensions had appeared on the surface of the earth which caused chaos in the earth's environment which changes all destiny of the human being. Many special abilities holders had appeared which became the hope of survival of the human being.

Hong Myung who had been low-class abilities holder and always been family loving boy began his journey to become
strongest abilities holders among the all.

"It's simple, young boor!" The historian said.

"You don't understand the whole story of research, the process of work is interesting and not its final result, it's just like a cherry on a cake!"

"Nothing more"!

- Uh, dear! I noticed, Dara, you see, I'm not a student already, I'm a businessman. Farmer, shopkeeper. I have little time.

"Well, you yourself, were interested in the history of these mountains, how to look for coins and other precious objects" ?!

"This is also work, this is an interesting work, adventure, quest, good luck, sometimes you find trash in general, and sometimes coins for which you can earn some money!"

- I understand that, just talk about it, tell me about the method, don't need a lot of water, I'm not a scientist, I just came here to make easy money to develop my business in the capital! Said, losing his temper, Dara.

"I understand that, but you show warmth, you yourself live in the East and must understand how life is arranged here."

- Eeeee ... oh well ash stump ... (Local dialect) ...

- Okay, let's say the methodology ... and what did you find, how much and where did you sell it, did you become a millionaire? Said Dara.

"Well, you old man, have you read Jack London?"

- Ahh, you about the fact that a real treasure hunter or a gold digger will never say that he hit a big jackpot?

"About it, dear"!

- Hey, sir, historian, do not say this word, they beat us in the face for this! Noticed, Dara.

"Why"? "This is such a familiar way of talking in the West!"


_ Well, damn it, we are not in the West, we ourselves were talking about the East!

- We don't like familiarity, some kind of horseradish from the mountain (a local dialect came from the second empire) - and says, dear, it smells like bad.

- It's good if they're just banned in the network, in real life, it's possible to get a shot in the face!

"Ahh, I seem to understand!"

"But you also understood where I got this catch phrase"

- Sure! This is from the Kinzaza movie!

"Intelligent"! "They're gone."

- Yes, but they skillfully hide. Ahahahaahhahaa! Laughed, Dara.

"Well, let's move on to our rams" (local dialect).

"So:

look for old maps of the 19th century, the 18th century they are not very accurate, you need to mess around there more.

Imperial military maps of the second half of the 19th century, tsarist, British, Germanic, Austro-Hungarian, Japanese, are best suited. Well and the USA. Yes, the USA in the late 70s of the 19th century intensively mapped the territory of Asia.

Then we need satellite images and aerial photographs, there are archives, they are free, practically.

The data that you write out from the ancient road builders are Arabic in the main and the first empire, after information from historical manuscripts of the late 19th century - early 20th centuries.

Historical names, the origin of place names, make up the database. You record key data in a table. Unforgettable to look for them on the old map. Prescribe their coordinates.

You attach all the cartographic data to the area, for this you will have to use GIS software. Perhaps applications for digital thematic processing of satellite images, software. With an application for processing archaeological data.

You find the data from the cards in a satellite image and do their binding. Then you will need to clarify them on the ground and adjust the map.

- Christmas tree winders (local dialect) Dara thought, this is too scientific ... but also interesting, to some extent.

Then you make up a general idea for yourself where there were some historical events. But they are not in the "red zone", that is, real historical places included in the register of cultural heritage. You can't search for anything there. Prohibited.

But in places that are not listed in the registry, you can try to search. But this is the same as with drones, first you need to register a metal detector, get permission, undergo minimal training. What you can use and sell, and what you need to take to museums and notify the police. These are naturally cultural values, great finds - treasures, old weapons. But coins, single, or a scattering of ten is your business.

If you find something interesting, accidentally discovered the archaeological layer, and there, in addition to ceramics, also some remains, you need to notify the historical and local history museums, turn to scientists, archaeologists and ethnographers. All these moves are registered.

Well, this is already boring, but necessary knowledge. And then registration as a treasure hunter, tax payment, at the end of the year, on the profit received. About 26 percent.

And production can be sold at electronic auctions or delivered to the state reception departments, but there they take 40 percent cheaper than at auction.

If you pass it to the museum, you will not see the money at all, but they will write on a copper plate that this or that exhibitor was donated by a treasure hunter.

And so, look at the electronic catalog of coins, if they meet the requirements, then put up for auction.

Prices are different, from 30 cents to 10,000 dollars. Usually from 100 to 1000 dollars. Well, how lucky.

When searching, unforgettable, after the spread of dirt, remove, dig holes. Such a code or ethics of the treasure hunter. Share advice with others.
What did I find? Coins are basically, I said earlier.

I made a map of the ancient roads, clarified by satellite images, tied them to the terrain ... that is, I specified ...

and then just went with a metal detector along the road.

Paths, roads, the most interesting in terms of search and in terms of finds, coins. Different cities, countries, eras.

You follow it ... and you know that caravans and people of 60 centuries walked along this road in the steppe. They connected the continents!

You read about it in ancient road builders, and now you yourself are walking along this road, the road like a time machine, if you have a good imagination!

Coins come across every 100-200 meters. Coins are different, there are modern ones, there are first and second empires. Among them, rare coins sometimes come in that cost $ 100-260 apiece, if they are in good condition.

Provided that they are not in the flood zone of the river, it spills and floods the ravines, and then there is only the plain ... and the sands ...

Less common are coins of various regional principalities of the 18-17-16 centuries.

Most often, copper, after silver, very rarely gold and bronze.

On the plain closer to the mountains of Light, you can find Arab coins from the time of the Abbasids and coins of the empire of Ming, Tan, Qing ...

In the mountains, sometimes it was possible to meet Macedonian - Greek coins, more of the Arab and local principalities, silver 17-18 centuries.

That is, each point, mountains, mountain valleys, passes, foothill plains, deserts, steppe, has different types of coins, the frequency of their meeting ...

COMPLETED

The Silk Road ... it is inevitable the emergence of wells, caravanserais, guard fortresses, postal stations, local bazaars, regional bazaars, the emergence of new jobs:
- robbers (there were whole settlements)
- caravan guards
- changed
- merchants

Just about them and will be discussed.


About their life, tricks.

Alas, English is still the same ... there are mistakes, I am sure of it.

I hope over time I will be able to fix them.

I just wanted to share information about such an interesting topic as the history of the development of the Silk Road.

----
And also a series of stories about treasures, treasure hunters.

This is a work of art. Any resemblance to real people or real events is purely coincidental.

'King's Warrior.'

The large characters in front of me didn't change even after blinking.

I opened my dry lips and asked,

"And the genre is…"

"A historical drama."

"That's right. Since there are a king and his warrior."

I flipped through a few more pages before closing it. In no way was this similar to the noir genre or the 'City Jungle' title. The only similarity was that both films had four characters in their name.

I asked in a gentle tone,

"If you have short film scenarios or synopses, could I take a look?"

He might have restricted a short film to be a feature film, but he struck down my hope. I examined every short film scenario and synopsis that came out of Director Joo Jaechan's backpack, but I couldn't find a hint of what I was looking for.

"You have been preparing for this feature film for a long time?"

"Yes, I've worked on it for more than two years."

Two years.

Then where did the scenario he worked five years on suddenly appear from?

This really was strange.

"Is this historical drama your first feature-length work?"

"… Yes, it is my first."

Director Joo Jaechan said dispiritedly.

"It seems you are unhappy with all of them."

"No, that's not it."

"Your expression has gradually been growing worse. This is all I have."

Did that scenario have a different writer?

That didn't seem to be the case. They definitely said he won best screenplay, and he himself said it was a project he had been working on for five years. The investment/distribution agency general manager had praised Director Joo Jaechan from start to end.

What was going on?

Was Director Joo Jaechan lying to me right now? If so, why? It might have been easier to understand the situation if I knew the production company in charge of City Jungle. Where did he make the movie?

I suddenly looked next to me. The drunk production company employee was looking at me.

I casually exchanged a few more drinks before looking at them and asking,

"Are you planning on doing another project together?"

"Huh? No, no, nothing's decided. If he does have a good project."

He avoided the subject. Then he patted Director Joo Jaechan's shoulder,

"Don't promote that historical drama, okay? How can we let a rookie director direct a historical drama? It needs a large budget and it's difficult to get investments for. If the cast is good, we might be able to trust the actors enough to follow through, but you know that rookie directors have a hard time casting actors, right?"

He glanced at me while saying that. He looked like he would be interested in a talented actor was interested even if it was a historical drama. I simply laughed it off. After examining my reaction a bit longer, he seemed to think it was a fruitless endeavor and got up after emptying his glass.

"Write something besides historical dramas. A comedy seems good."

Leaving those words, he went over to a table where other directors were sitting at.

I drank while looking at Director Joo Jaechan. Maybe it was because he was a little depressed, but he didn't give off much of an impression either. Director Joo gave off a showy impression in the future. Did he change after his debut work became a hit?

Or was he simply acting well-behaved right now?

The afterparty reached its peak as more people were making a racket. I met a few people before going back to Director Joo Jaechan's table multiple times. Also, I confirmed a few more things once he was completely drunk.

Whether he really didn't have another work.

Whether he was interested in the noir genre. I even mentioned City Jungle. However, even as he was nodding off while drunk, he simply shook his head.

What to do now?

Thinking about it, I organized my thoughts.

Let's wait for now. Acting hastily now could change the future. Since, in the future, they said that Director Joo Jaechan brought the scenario to me first, it would be best not to change anything if I wanted that future to happen.

I handed Director Joo Jaechan my business card.

Along with a message, asking him to contact me whenever he had a good project.

*

Although I decided to wait and see, my surroundings move quickly.

-Have you seen the article?

"Yes, I'm reading it right now."

{Lee Songha, Her next work is 'Supernatural' with Heo Kakyung.}{1}

{Movie 'Supernatural' casts Heo Kakyung and Lee Songha among others}

-It seems the ones from Supernatural leaked this. You want to release a correction, right?

"Yes, as quickly as possible."

-We're writing a press release. Are you still considering the scenario or is it final?

"It's final. We formally refused in our meeting yesterday."

At least, that was what I thought.

-It seems that they didn't get that memo. Or they are thinking about using this to promote their movie since negotiations have failed. And they clearly know this puts us in a difficult spot.

After hanging up my call with Team Leader Park, I asked Reporter Park Woojeong as well. Then I refreshed the page as I waited for the correction to be made.

It was a common tactic to release an article while things were still undecided, but I didn't have the time to just laugh it off this time. It would complicate things if Director Joo Jaechan went elsewhere after seeing this article.

I kept refreshing the page when I received a call. It was from the 'Supernatural' people.

"General manager."

-Ah, I saw that an article confirming Ms. Lee Songha was released?

"Yes, it did."

-We're not the ones who released it. Just in case there's a misunderstanding.

What do you mean you didn't release it? Such a blatant lie.

I clicked my tongue as I refreshed the page. As soon as I saw the top headline, my tensed lips relaxed.

{Lee Songha's Side denies being cast in 'Supernatural'. Formal Refusal (Official Stance)}

-This is very awkward.

"It's okay. We released a correction."

-Pardon?

The other side because busy. I also refreshed the page. The correction seemed to be spreading well as a few more articles with similar headlines were published. Not long after, I heard a sigh.

-It's your official stance.

"I felt that it would be best clearly settle the matter since an article was released. If Lee Songha keeps getting mentioned in Supernatural articles, it would make it difficult for you to cast other actresses. We really are thankful for your proposal, but next…"

-Team Leader Jung Sunwoo.

An unhappy voice suddenly cut in.

"Director Cha Jaeho?"

-Yeah, it's me. I have never sent love calls or made script adjustments for young actresses.

Ah, adjustments.

The one-page adjustment proposal that would obviously be ignored once we signed the contract. I was curious when the director, who was too proud to allow even adlibbed lines, meant by adjustments, but it was as expected.

Before I could reply, Director Cha Jaeho sarcastically said,

-It seems that Midas's Hand really didn't like my project. Please let me know when you decide on Ms. Lee Songha's next project. I'm curious what amazing project you'll join after rejecting mine.

"Jung Sunwoo!"

The director sat on my desk. His brows, which were the only sharp features on his round face, twitched. The director stopped calling me Lucky Charm after that day with the Team 2 Leader. Instead, he looked at me like I was a headache.

"Did Director Cha Jaeho swear at you?"

"He didn't…."

But he did make a ton of sarcastic remarks.

"He said that I would regret it later. That he will be waiting to see what I pick after rejecting him."

"Tell him to get in line. Even the CEO is waiting."

"The CEO is?"

"He said that he was very interested in what kind of project you will bring in the future once he saw the article."

"Ah."

"I'm curious too. Just what is inside your head."

City Jungle was in my head.

I was curious where that scenario was hiding, and I was curious what Director Joo Jaechan was doing, if he had eaten, if he was thinking of me, and when he would come to see me.

While thinking these stalkerish thoughts, I suddenly saw the director's face.

How would he react if I mentioned Director Joo Jaechan and City Jungle to him?

The only experience he had was being an assistant director and winning an award at a short film festival. He was still a director who had yet to make his debut. And right now, it was uncertain who would produce and invest in it. If I was frank with him, I wonder if he would hit me?

However, I was confident in persuading him about it.

Because I knew that it would be a success. Like Cat Guardian Ghost.

I was confident in persuading him, but the problem was that the whereabouts of the scenario was unknown.

"Anyways, you need to guard your position. Make sure you're not emptying your office as soon as you move into it."

The director got down from my desk. Then he looked at me up and down before clicking his tongue.

"It's not just Lee Songha, you'll now have multiple actors asking for projects. The CEO says to let you be since he trusts your incredible eye. However, remember that the failure of a team leader is on another level from a chief failing."

The mumbling director looked back at me with a strange expression.

"You know that the actors will falter too if you do, right?"

*

A few scenarios and proposals were evenly spread on top of the meeting room table.

Chief Lee Bongjoon and Chief Sung Uimin put their heads together,

"I think that this script is good, but Jijoon is showing no interest."

"Who else have they sent the script to besides Jijoon? I want to show Joowon."

"I think they sent one to Yoon Taekyung?"

I stared at the thick stacks of paper. They were projects we had examined and picked. They were projects I had read while thinking about Lee Songha's next project. Objectively good choices with good synopsis, directors, and writers.

'He thought long and hard before coming to a decision, yet the project he chose completely flopped.'

The remark I heard in the future rang in my mind. If I had heard which project I had chosen, I would have avoided that one. Now, they all looked like flops. I felt like I was going crazy.

Good projects. Good projects.

I would do anything to get actors good projects.

My thoughts naturally turned to City Jungle.

If Director Joo Jaechan hadn't decided on actors, what if I proposed other actors besides Lee Songha for other roles? I wouldn't be able to tell until I saw the scenario. That damn scenario. I needed to check it…

The next moment, my vision went black. My vision was filled with static.

Again? A future vision again?

My vision was so dark that I couldn't see in front of me. Ah, my eyes were closed. I could feel my eyes moving underneath my eyelids. I heard noises from the distance, and the stuffy scent of cigarettes flowed into my nose.

"Do you regret it?"

Someone beside me asked. Only then did my future self open his eyes.

I was sitting on a cement floor. I saw a pair of legs leaning against the wall. When I lifted my gaze, I saw Director Joo Jaechan exhaling cigarette smoke.

Rather than the depressed, shy Director Joo Jaechan, this was the aloof Director Joo Jaechan from the future, who wore fancy suits.

Was this still the afterparty?

I saw two visions one after another last time. This really was strange.

"When you rejected my project because I hadn't made my debut as a director yet. I was wondering if you regretted it now."

Director Joo Jaechan asked again, urging me to respond. He seemed drunk as he was slurring his words.

First, I pushed aside my questions and perked my ears.

"I didn't reject you because it was your debuting work. It conflicted with another project."

"Ah, that. The flop."

Director Joo Jaechan threw his cigarette butt into the outdoor ashtray as he chuckled.

My future self said in a low voice,

"Anyways, I do regret it. I had fun watching it. The plot was good, and so were the characters. It would have been great if Lee Songha had been the female lead. I made the wrong choice at that time."

The plot was good, and so were the roles? What a relief. I was a bit worried that the female lead would have little presence like Supernatural.

"It's refreshing that you regret it."

Director Joo Jaechan chuckled again.

"If you were going to regret it, it would have been good for both of us if you had just done it when I begged."

"That's true."

"I told you that the scenario was good."

Scenario.

I perked my ears in hopes of gaining a hint.

Director Joo Jaechan mumbled,

"I had a hard time getting that scenario in my hands."

Getting it in your hands?

{1} So the author previously wrote 'Telepathy'. Here, he goes with 'Supernatural Human', which I shorted to 'Supernatural'.

Jung Sunwoo was an average man. He had just taken his first job at W&U, a celebrity management company, as a manager. He could finally achieve his dream of being the manager of a world-famous actor or actress. On his way to work, he fell into what appeared to be a lucid dream about his future. As he went on with his day, he realized it may not have simply been a lucid dream.
