Outline of a novel idea I want to test on the community. Please leave any questions, comments and concerns in the comment section. If you all like the outline I will upload 3 times a week or more at my availability. please and thank you for the read.

Author: 314 (Yang Chen)
 
After you confirm what genre and topic you wish to write about, it's now time for you as an author to design your settings and write the overall planned outline for your plot. As for why I'm putting these two elements together, that's because these two elements are deeply interconnected and inseparable.
 
When you're writing the overall outline, this is basically coming up with the story's plot. As you write the outline, what you're actually doing is fleshing out the details for your setting.
 
When you're writing a story, of course, you need to first consider where your story will happen, when it happens, who it happens to, and what type of person it happens to. As the story progresses, you also need to consider who the main character will meet in the story, what time and place he or she meets them at, along with who's stronger and who's weaker than the main character…
 
This is why by the time that you're finished with your overall outline, the world's background, various factions, levels, special abilities, treasures, all the important characters… and such settings will be naturally completed during the course of outlining.
 
The reverse is true as well. If you first work on designing the detailed settings instead, then you'll basically end up with an outline for the story's plot and how the main character grows over the story as well.
 
Of course, there's still some differences depending on which angle you start from. However, newcomer authors like you don't need to worry about this. You can simply create based on your personality and whatever you prefer. It doesn't matter whether you start from the settings or the outline. You can even do both at the same time.
 
For newcomer authors like you, there's only five points that are critically important for you to understand.
 
1.      Having an overall outline isn't absolutely necessary, but having one is always better than not having one
 
Theoretically speaking, even if you didn't prepare an overall outline, it might not affect the progress of you writing your novel at all. There are some authors out there that simply write whatever comes into their mind and go with the flow.
 
Of course, this is all just a best-case scenario in theory. For the great majority of authors out there, once your story's plot exceeds your planned outline... 

Your outline will help your story stay on track in the early stages, but once you reach the mid and late stages, all sorts of problems often appear, such as too many plotlines all at once, self-contradictory plotlines, or writer's block…
 
At such a time, authors will typically regret not creating a more detailed outline, but it's already too late now. Actually, overall outlines have more uses than you think.
 
Since webnovels are typically longer than normal novels, they take much longer to write as well. Typically, it takes an average author several months or even longer to finish writing everything in their overall outline. By the time that they're finish writing everything in their overall outline, most authors will have new ideas and insights into what they want to write. Once they combine their new ideas with their original outline, in a way, this gives them two sources of inspiration. It's basically the equivalent of two people working together, and on top of that, these two people know exactly what each other are thinking.
 
It's easy to see how this can be helpful in improving the quality of your novel.
 
Apart from this, while creating an overall outline, the author can also discover many topics or problems with the settings and correct them in time.
 
To give an extreme example, if you're having a great difficulty with writing your overall outline and don't know what to do with your own plot, this proves that there's a large problem with your plot. You should either make major changes, or delete this part of your plot entirely.
 
So, newcomer authors definitely shouldn't overlook the uses of having an overall outline. No matter if you have a good or bad outline, a simple or a detailed one, as long as you have one, that's good.
 
What needs to be noted is that only outlines that have been written out truly count as outlines.
 
Even if you as an author have a very detailed outline, and even if you've solidly memorized every single plot point in your outline, any outline that hasn't been written into your novel doesn't count as a true outline. That's because when you actually start writing, you'll discover that what you finally end up writing will always have differences from what you envisioned.
 
2.      You need to finish your outline, but it doesn't need to be complete
 
Thinking about your outline is equivalent to thinking about your novel's plot. You need to consider both the beginning and the end. You also need to think about everything that the main character experiences from the beginning to the end of the story.
 
If your outline isn't finished, but only half-finished, you won't even be able to predict the storylines that come later, which will cause you to have difficulties writing your plot once you finish the beginning stages. This is basically the same as not having an outline at all.
 
Still, there's no need for us to make the outline as detailed as possible from the very beginning, with so many specific scenarios for all your plots. The reason for this is quite simple—none of us know just how long our novels will turn out to be in the end.
 
A story that's written with the intent of becoming a commercial product needs to be sufficiently long enough right from the planning stage. The longer your potential story, the better. But actually, how many words it finally ends up with depends on how well your story performs.
 
If your story is incredibly popular and performs well in the market, then we can consider writing it for as long as possible. However, if your story obviously isn't popular with readers, then you can consider ending your story in a timely fashion at an appropriate point in the plot so that you can think of a new story instead. That would be a wiser decision if you wish to become a professional author.
 
Of course, when you're only in the outlining stage, it's impossible for you as a newcomer author to know how readers will react to your novel. Precisely because of this, you need to have a flexible writing plan. What this means is that you should have an outline that's detailed in the beginning and general near the end. For the beginning of your story, you should have as detailed an outline as possible, while for the middle and especially the later parts of your story, you only need some general ideas. All you need is to consider the overall development of the plot so that you know what direction to take your storyline in.
 
For example, maybe you planned that the beginning of your novel will be approximately 80,000 words, and you've prepared a 4,000-word outline for just the beginning. In that case, your outline for the next 80,000 words, the middle of your story, might only need 3000 words, and the meat of your story, another 240,000 words, might have an outline that's less than 1000 words.
 
Of course, as you continue writing your story, you should constantly update your outline as well. You should complete your outline for the next 80,000 words before you finish writing the first 80,000 words.
 
3.      Your settings need to be constantly updated

Just like writing an outline, you should first come up with the basic settings before you even begin writing, which includes your world background, main character's personality, power levels, and so on.
 
More specific settings, such as a powerful artifact that appears in the story, can be added as you write your story.
 
Unlike an outline, you don't need to fully plan out all of your settings at the very beginning. It's perfectly acceptable to think of new settings while you're writing.
 
However, newcomer authors need to note that while it's okay to come up with new settings as you write, you should write these settings down and add them to your outline or settings document as you write.
 
This is to help yourself check your own settings later in the future. Otherwise, a novel that reached over one million words and has lasted for one year or longer might cause you as an author to completely forget about something you wrote before in the past. It's even quite common to make a mistake when writing about the items that the main character possesses. Yet, there will always be a sharp-eyed reader or two that catches the author out in a misstep.
 
If you have a very detailed document on your settings, not only will you be able to greatly reduce your own plot continuity errors, you'll also be able to look through your settings whenever you have writer's block and find some inspiration in a side character that you have already forgotten about or some item that was mentioned before but never used again.
 
4.      It's better for your settings to be cliché
 
Here, this means the systems and names that you use for your settings. For example, the names and levels you use for a martial arts society.
 
Many newcomer authors will mistakenly think that using already existing well-known settings will make their novel seem too cliché, causing them to want to be as "unique" as possible. These authors will use their imaginations to come up with all sorts of fictional vocabulary words, which in their minds will make their novels "stand out." These newcomer authors don't realize that this is the worst possible way to write a novel. In the great majority of situations, this will have the opposite effect from intended.
 
A new original novel that you write should be a new interpretation or story about some specific genre or story type. How to make your novel stand out depends on the conflicts you create in your story and how the main character resolves them. As for coming up with new vocabulary words and names for your novel, even if you make them sound really cool, or make some modified slang words, it's almost never a good thing for you.
 
The reason for this can also be understood in my article about how to write the beginning of your story. By doing so, the author is placing more burden upon the readers to understand a larger amount of information.
 
There will always be other already existing words that you could have used, which are easily understood by all your readers. Instead, your readers now need to spend their time and effort on reading your explanations. Obviously, readers aren't here to read your technical manuals or info dumps. The more explanations that you have in your novel, the lower your novel's appeal and flow will become. But, if you don't add any explanations for your self-created words at all, the readers won't even understand what's going on.
 
This is why newcomer authors should avoid this useless type of "creativity" as much as possible. You should simply rely on settings that all readers are familiar with instead.
 
5.      The storyline should be pushed forward by using conflicts
 
Many newcomer authors will often develop writer's block when planning their outline or working on their novel.
 
Sometimes, this is because the author has made their storyline too messy. But most of the time, it's because the author feels like there's nothing to write about, or doesn't know what they should make the main character do. The author has no idea how to continue their own story.
 
In order to deal with writer's block, or in other words, how to push your storyline alone, the answer is actually incredibly simple.
 
You can answer this question using only one word – Conflicts!
 
Actually, the critical element of all webnovels can be summed up into one word – conflicts. For example, leveling is the desire or need of the main character to become stronger, which is a conflict between the main character and his or her own current weakness.
 
And since there is a conflict, you must resolve the conflict. And so, your main character wants to cultivate to become stronger, which means he needs to travel around the world in order to find cultivation methods…
 
All sorts of conflicts will both push forward your storyline as well as create numerous climaxes for your readers. It can be said that how you design your conflicts is the very foundation of writing any novel, not just a webnovel.
 
As for a more detailed analysis on how to design your story's conflicts, please read my intermediate-level article on the topic. For newcomer authors like you, you simply need to understand this concept, and know that you should keep coming up with new conflicts whenever you're having trouble keeping up with your own storyline. Try finding potential conflicts from plots, characters, and items you've already used, or forcefully introduce a new element into your story that creates a new conflict.
 
This can be said to be one of the most basic techniques of planning your storyline.

Myths and Misconceptions
The brain is far too complex to be studied in a meaningful way.
Innovative research in both the medical and biological psychology fields has made immense progress in revealing how the brain works and how it affects behaviour. In particular, technological advances in being able to generate images of the brain have enabled scientific research in this area to progress at a rapid pace. Have a look at the research being carried out at King's College London into infant brain development. 
One day, it will be possible to use genetics to explain a substantial amount of human behaviour.
Although a considerable amount of research into genetically inherited behaviour has been conducted, scientists are still unable to state with certainty the degree to which behaviours such as aggression are predominantly influenced by genes. Indeed, as human behaviour is so complex, working out which genes are responsible for different behaviours is a phenomenally difficult undertaking for scientists. In this article, Dorothy Bishop, a professor at the University of Oxford, debates this notoriously problematic issue in genetic research. Moreover, determining how far genes influence behaviour is further complicated by the influence of external environmental factors such as stress and type of upbringing on both our behaviour and our genetic makeup. 
Pheromones can influence our behaviour without our awareness.
Some researchers have claimed that odourless pheromones secreted from our body can influence the behaviour of others. For example, Martha McClintock's research suggests that females living in close proximity will give off pheromones that then cause their menstrual cycles to synchronise. However, other researchers have questioned the existence of pheromones in humans and thus argue that pheromone research in humans is based on flawed assumptions. 
1. The Rise of the Biological Approach in Psychology
During the 19th century, a quiet revolution in assessing how brain and behaviour are linked was taking place in the consulting clinics of such physicians as Paul Broca in France and Carl Wernicke in Germany. By adopting a systematic analysis of patients with language difficulties, these researchers helped to establish the scientific study of brain localisation. Broca's analysis of speech production deficits in his patients along with post-mortem brain analysis of some of these patients helped him to isolate a left frontal brain area that is responsible for the generation of language. Today, this area is known as Broca's area. Taking the same approach, Wernicke demonstrated that an area of the temporal lobe called the posterior superior temporal gyrus caused deficits in speech comprehension and the ability to produce meaningful language. This area is now known as Wernicke's area. The work conducted by Wernicke and Broca and other researchers at the time led to the acknowledgement of the importance of studying brain-damaged individuals. This has resulted in the case study approach becoming a significant research tool in modern biological psychology and has led to the establishment of a discipline in psychology called clinical neuropsychology. 
Researchers like Broca and Wernicke were at the forefront of the 19th-century movement towards a more systematic, scientific way of investigating the natural world. One of the most famous proponents of this approach was Charles Darwin, who, in producing his theory of evolution, had himself documented thousands of observations around the world to provide evidence for his theory. At that stage, science was a long way from understanding evolutionary mechanisms down to the genetic level as a result of the lack of scientific technology. However, scientific advances in research and technology eventually revealed that genes formed the building blocks of evolutionary mechanisms. In the last couple of decades, the role that genes play in behaviour has led to the establishment of evolutionary psychology and also research into how far behaviour such as intelligence may be inherited.
Significant advances in brain imaging technology have helped to propel the legacy of researchers like Broca and Wernicke even further forwards with the use in the modern psychology of techniques that can image the live brain. Not only have such technologies reinforced findings from neuropsychological research into localisation, they have also enabled researchers to assess cognitive processes such as memory and thinking in individuals without brain damage. Consequently, such research has enabled researchers to make significant advances in understanding the brain and behaviour relationship. 
Furthermore, in conjunction with the medical field and also advances in medical science, biological psychologists have also increased our understanding of how hormones and pheromones affect behaviour. 
2. Research Methods of the Biological Approach
Researchers who take a biological approach to understanding behaviour believe that all human behaviour has a biological basis. This is not to say they believe that it is only biological, but that there is a relationship between the human body and especially the brain (the structure and processes of the human nervous system) and human behaviour. Moreover, because the nervous systems of many animals are similar in their structure and processes to that of humans, biological psychologists use animals in research to gain understanding about human behaviour.
Henry's legacy in terms of our knowledge about memory is highly significant because as a result of extensive research with him up to his death in 2008, Henry had contributed a wealth of data about his memory function. Firstly, given that his short-term memory was normal, this demonstrated that the short- and long-term memory systems in the brain must to some extent be separate otherwise Henry's brain damage would also have affected short-term memory processing. This finding reinforced the predictions of the multi-store model of memory that you will study in Chapter 5. However, what was intriguing about Henry's case, and indeed other similar cases of anterograde amnesia, is that it demonstrated that there are different types of long-term memory. Henry's brain damage specifically targeted episodic memory and he was, therefore, unable to form new memories of any event experienced after the surgery and this continued to the end of his life. However, he was able to form new procedural long-term memories. Procedural memories are those memories which are automatic such as knowing how to drive. This type of knowledge does not start out as automatic because clearly skills such as driving must be learned. These skills develop over time, however, and activities such as driving become easier and more automatic if we practise them regularly. Despite his extensive brain damage, Henry could form new procedural memories on activities such as a pursuit rotor task in which a participant tracks a moving object on a screen with a cursor. This task requires precision and must be practised regularly to gain expertise in the task. 


Marguerite is oblivious as she folds Arthmael's body into beautiful silhouettes. Following the familiar choreography, she dances relentlessly.

Grand Jete! Penche! followed by a series of graceful pas de chats. All concatenated in front of the enthralled emperor.

When the music reaches the outro in a full stop, Marguerite falls gracefully on the floor in a pose. She stays there and waits for the king to tell her she can leave.

She stays on the ground for a long time but hears nothing from him. Wondering if she did anything wrong, she wants to lift her head to look at the king's face, but quickly remembers the warning he gave her. If she disrespects him any further, who knows what he might do to her.

She suddenly feels her chin being lifted, her eyes meet the hazels of Demian. She forgets to breathe and falls from her pose onto the floor. She doesn't have time to regain her senses before two strong arms lift her off the floor.

She is about to question him on his weird behaviour when her mouth is suddenly covered by his in a kiss.

-------------------------------------------------
Marguerite is very talented. She has a beautiful voice, a great passion for music and various talents in the arts. Unfortunately, her bright future gets compromised when she is forced to leave her world to fulfill the wish of someone else. Marguerite wanting to go home as soon as possible, accepts. However things turn out quite unexpected for her.

**For a TLDR, scroll to the very bottom.** 
 
Hey guys! It's been a while. I normally post daily, buuuut, I've been doing some thinking lately about this story. I'm so happy that I've been getting so many views. Almost 10,000! And almost 100 of you all followed. I'm so thankful for every single one of you all. That being said, I want to give you all a quality product, one that you all like and that I'm proud to produce. 
 
For that reason, I unfortunately have to announce that I'm putting Order & Fate: Rebellious Children into a temporary hiatus. 
 
I know, the synopsis said that I have the series outlined, and that I have a backlog. I do! However, just because I have a series outlined doesn't mean that the series is good. While I'm happy to have been given good ratings and reviews, I've been looking over the work that I've produced while receiving much needed criticism from external sources, and I strongly believe that this work that I've produced is not the best that I can make. 
 
I suppose I could've kept going, left this version as it was, then just deeply edit it and upload the good version to Amazon. I'm not that kind of person, though. That'd be super scummy. Besides, I still want to give you all a quality product, which I feel this web novel is not... in it's current state.  
 
Soooo, what's so bad about it? I thought it was pretty neat. 
 
Thanks! But you can't see behind the scenes on this one. I'm sure a few of you were able to notice over the first act, and it's caught my attention HARD over the past few days, but the series was somewhat directionless. 
 
But how could that be? You said you had an outline! 
 
I did, and I still do. That outline formula, for all it's worth, does not lend itself to action stories like the one I wanted to create. It's mainly for character focused works, and because of the nature of this series, characters seemed to fight each other for attention. 
 
The best example of this are the later chapters with Hikari and Kou. It went from action, to calm, to action, to tense, and one character essentially had to be pushed aside for the other to receive characterization. 
 
Beyond that, I found that as I wrote, I began deviating from the established outline, which was beginning to form massive plotholes. 
 
That soooort of leads into my second gripe with the series, which is that it was beginning to suffer from an identity crisis. Some moments it was a strategic action series, others it was an intense drama, and others it was a horror mystery. Changing tone is fine, I feel, but where my biggest issue lies in its inability to decide whether it wanted to be character focused or plot focused. If I'm being brutally honest with myself here, I wanted to write a character-focused story, but found myself leaning toward a plot-focused one as I wrote. The outline seemed to be fighting with my wants, which began to affect the story negatively. At best, it was fast paced. At worst, it was unhinged and unfocused.  
 
Over the past week, I've been working to create an outline structure that works well for me as a writer. I haven't hidden that I love Shounen manga and anime in the slightest, and the greatest among them seem to be able to cross the thin line between plot-focused & character-oriented so perfectly. Because of that, I began to deconstruct what I'm dubbing the "Shounen Formula" into a story outline structure that works for me. 
 
Talking about it and studying it is somewhat meaningless, though. If I want to know how good it is, I need to put it to the test, right? 
 
I think so. That's why I'm happy to announce a new series that I've been working on...  
 
Demon Task Force! 
 
It's a Shounen-esque Progression Fantasy (exclusive to Royal Road) that I've been making with the sole purpose of stress-testing my new outline formula. My goal is to finish the first two arcs and upload them here. If you all enjoy the series, then I'll expand on it! I hope you all enjoy it when it comes out in a few weeks! I'll be uploading all of arc 1 on the first day, then I'll be dropping arc 2 over the span of a few weeks. 
 
But if you're using outlines again, won't you just run into the same problems? 
 
This go round, I'm not going to make the mistake of plotting every single thing out. That'd suck the fun out of writing. Instead, I'm using the "Shounen Formula" to create connected plot threads and plot points, which allows me to stay focused while also being freed from the restrictive and faulty outline I currently followed. 
 
Of course, the necessary worldbuilding will be fully plotted out, but that's different! 
 
It isn't just some one-off series, though. I'm serious about that entire series outline. Demon Task Force, or DTF for short, is a prequel to OAFRC, set many years before the story kicks off! As I mentioned those first two arcs WILL be released. If they don't do well, or you all dislike the new format, then I'll just regroup as I am and try again. I want to have a good quality product on here before I start going onto ******* and hiring editors to have it published. I got lost in the sauce before, I'll be honest! Sorry. I was just a little hype to get buzz so fast. 
 
Sooo... where does OAFRC fit in here? 
 
As I mentioned, DTF will be a prequel. As for the series in question, I'm going to be putting it on hold until I see the response DTF gets. If it does well, then I'll be reworking the outline for OAFRC to follow that mold, that way I can put it back into the wild with a reinforced structure. If it doesn't do well, then I'll just go back to the drawing board on both and do my best to seek counsel as I attempt to make a good series. 
 
In closing, I'm thankful for the support, but I want to make a series that isn't just "good for a webnovel" or "alright". I want to make something great, and to do that I need to go back and do some work on how I outline things. Demon Task Force should be uploaded either by the end of the month or the first week of February. I'll post about it when it's up!

Order & Fate: Rebellious Children is a series about a girl named Sumire Kato who is abruptly thrust into a world seething with murder, conspiracy, and drama. She must find strength within herself, rely on the friends she made, and uncover the mysteries of her home before doom reaches her and her loved ones!

 




Sumire Kato is an 18-year-old girl who has spent the last two years of her life alone in her apartment. She’s had little contact with other people and has no friends or family to communicate with. All of this changes when Sumire is invited to the Soteria School for Seekers, the prestigious school where Tenebris’s strongest study to become Seekers.  

  

As she makes the most of her new school experience, Sumire is continuously haunted by her demons, which threaten to damage the connections she’s made with the people at her new school. Eventually, she is forced to face her demons in a big way when one of her new friends is murdered by an unknown assailant.  

  

Sumire must overcome her past ghosts and find the killer with a clear mind and empty heart, lest her brother suffer the fatal consequences!  

 

Thank you for reading Order & Fate: Rebellious Children! Here are a few things you should know before getting into the story.

 

First, the chapter-length varies between 1000-3000 words depending on the events. Admittedly, the first batch of introductory chapters is a bit of a slow burn. I want to introduce you to the characters before getting to the craziness, so if you're interested in wall-to-wall action and fights each chapter, then this may not be the story for you.



Secondly, this story is heavily inspired by darker shounen manga and anime such as Hunter x Hunter and Jujutsu Kaisen, with the fights and magic system in particular taking inspiration from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. If you like anime, then you'll probably like this story. If you prefer Tolkien-esque fantasy, though, then this story also may not be for you.

 

Thirdly, I have a decent stockpile of chapters stored, which I plan on expanding upon each day. Because of that, this series won't be dropped or put into indefinite hiatus, and chapters will be released daily unless otherwise stated. Finally, I've done multiple grammar and spell checks, so there shouldn't be any immersion-breaking grammatical issues. If you do find one, though, please leave a comment, and I'll revise! 

 

Finally, while this is my very first fiction, it's also a first draft of sorts. I plan to have this story professionally edited and published, so any feedback is very much appreciated!




The story is also available on Royal Road, Scribblehub, and Wattpad.

When her disciples heard her, Chen Cheng answered with a relaxed expression, "I'm sure the Saintess understands what great luck the Saint has. He had actually found a Dusty Divine Arts, the Hidden Script."
"Hidden Script?!"
No matter how apathetic Qi Zixiao was before, her expression couldn't resist turning solemn after hearing this. "That's one of the nine secret arts. Boasting the ability to control the world's speed and omnipotent on both heaven and earth. At the highest point of cultivation, one could even see through time-space and no existing defense art can combat it. The invincible Hidden Scripture?"
"Yes, it was said to be one of the nine secret arts, the Hidden Scripture."
Chen Cheng continued in delight, "But the Saint's luck couldn't compare to Your Grace after all. It was reported that even if he found the Hidden Scripture, the Saint was still wearing an ugly expression when he left the scripture chamber…"
"Why is that?"
Qi Zixiao was dumbstruck on the inside.
In fact, she was dying to continue asking. Like what the hell was this 'Dusty Divine Arts'? But it was a pity she shouldn't.
"It's naturally because Your Grace has found the General Outline of the World's Immortal Arts!"
"While the Hidden Scripture is powerful, but the General Outline of the World's Immortal Arts must have recorded thousands of immortal arts, doesn't it?"
'I found…
'The General Outline of the World's Immortal Arts?
'So this is why both of you aren't worried and could still be so calm after the Saint has found the Hidden Script?
'But, where is this General Outline of the World's Immortal Arts?'
Qi Zixiao's mind was spinning. After that… her heart inadvertently thumped. She recalled the note that the guy had left.
General Outline of the World's… Martial Arts?
Could it be…
"But I have to say, the Saint has quite good eyesight."
Suddenly, Chen Cheng added, "When Your Grace was holding the General Outline of the World's Martial Arts back then, the other disciples were very confused. Only the Saint realized with a glance that the General Outline of the World's Martial Arts was but a disguise. What Your Grace has truly obtained was the General Outline of the World's Immortal Arts."
I knew it!
Qi Zixiao could feel the goosebumps all over her body!
This was a colossal misunderstanding!
That was clearly a General Outline of the World's Martial Arts…
She wanted to glare, but she couldn't. She couldn't explain herself either. She could only suppress it inside her heart and this melancholic feeling was indescribable.
"Besides this, there were a few others who were fortunate as well and found the Dusty Divine Arts."
"Now, many of the inner sect disciples hold great gratitude for Your Grace."
"They said if you hadn't initiated it, to let them know that the Dusty Divine Arts were hidden on the first floor of the scripture chamber, they never would've had this opportunity…"
I... initiated it?
Qi Zixiao was even more depressed.
But at the same time, she gradually understood what had happened.
***
As the Saintess, her every movement and action would be scrutinized by many, including the Saint!
Yet that guy had used her body to enter the scripture chamber. It would have no doubt attracted attention but that guy paid no mind to it and strode into the scripture chamber's first floor to search…
What would the regular disciples think if they saw this?!
The great Saintess could ascend up to the seventh floor but she had put in so much effort to search on the first floor instead. Could there… perhaps be a mystery hidden on the first floor?!
After that…
Several disciples had found the 'Dusty Divine Arts'. The Saint had even better luck and found the renowned Hidden Scripture. That was an invincible immortal art!
Once she clarified the situation, Qi Zixiao waved her delicate hand. The door closed and she immediately gritted her teeth.
"That guy…"
"How… impressive!!!"
With only one trip outside, a 'Dusty Divine Arts' anecdote came out of thin air. He had even helped her rival gain a fearsome skill…
But now, everyone thought she had found the so-called General Outline of the World's Immortal Arts instead, thinking she was the biggest winner…
The stunning Saintess in white could no longer hold back as she gritted her teeth…
"This is the so-called General Outline of the World's Immortal Arts?"
Waving her hand, the General Outline of the World's Martial Arts flew over…
She carefully sensed it for a long time but no miracle happened.
To her, this was only a… martial arts book that was of no value to her.
Qi Zixiao: …
At that moment, she suddenly felt aggrieved.
Why did something like this have to happen to her?
Not only did she have to let that guy control her body, but she had also unwittingly done the Saint a huge favor…
"..."
The more she thought, the more Qi Zixiao was unable to calm down. She wanted to bare her fangs and berate that guy.
A long while later, a long while later.
After calming herself down with much difficulty, Qi Zixiao gradually began organizing the questions and gains she had obtained from this round's transmigration…
She carefully sensed her cultivation to realize, just like before, her cultivation had had a tiny improvement.
If she hadn't sensed it attentively, it would have been easily missed. But it was truly an improvement. She could see it. She could feel it.
"Why is this?"
No idea.
It was the same both times.
She was firm that Lin Fan had no knowledge of cultivation. So why had her cultivation improved instead?
When she had trained vigorously, there were no hints of improvement. Why was this?
She had no idea!
"Not only this but he also never answered me why this plant would grow so fast."
"Before we exchange the next time, I'll pen down these two questions. And also to urge him not to randomly walk around anymore."
Qi Zixian was suddenly a little frightened.
He had only been to the scripture chamber and the Saint got his hands on an invincible immortal art, the Hidden Scripture. If he went to the crafting chamber or elixir chamber, would he end up giving the Saint some holy weapons and divine pills?
If that were so, there was no need for her to compete in the First Rank battle one year later, okay?
"Thankfully…"
Qi Zixiao blinked. A vague flash of lightning appeared in her mind.
"Thankfully I've gained some advantage from this. That world isn't completely useless as well…"
"Hidden Scripture?"
"If I can master the Celestial Lightning Blade, there's no saying who would win!"
Before she 'returned', Qi Zixiao just happened to watch Lu Xueqi forcefully using the Celestial Lightning Blade for the first time…
That instant gave Qi Zixiao inspiration and she thought a lot about it.
She figured if Lu Xueqi could master the Celestial Lightning Blade, she could do it as well!
Although the Hidden Scripture of the nine secrets was powerful, it required profound mastery before one could control speed. But the Celestial Lightning Blade could strike with the borrowed wrath of heaven. It didn't seem weak in comparison!
No secret manuals?
She'll just have to make her own then!
After all, the chant was ready and she had seen the skill in action. She just needed a little more time to practice!
"In one year…"
Qi Zixiao mumbled to herself, "I have to break through the void refinement and master the Celestial Lightning Blade!"
Right now.
If Lin Fan were here, he would definitely be dumbstruck…
You actually have the courage to learn skills from a television drama?
Like I've said, you're a real tiger!
Aren't you afraid that if a mistake happens, the lightning will strike you to death?


Lin Fan and the Saintess swapped bodies, which made them transmigrate in the process. Later, they even found out they could transmigrate infinite number of times.
On this day, Lin Fan returned to find himself already an immortal!

Note: Kimi no Na wa (Your Name) meets Xianxia

Hello there  everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween holiday!
I haven't updated a chapter in months and I deeply apologize for that. I disappeared without notice. But here I am, back and alive, fully safe, in blood and flesh.
Now I am back, but I won't be updating chapters any soon. I have decided to stop writing this book as I reached Chapter 6 I think? Well, a chapter that isn't the middle of the book. I decided that the best would be for me to re-write 'Left Unspoken' and this time, with an outline.
Now please hear me out. Months ago when I was doing it, I was just going with the flow, with what came to find. My goal was word count and updating. Not the quality, I valued quantity more. And no outline was present anywhere. But it is time I switch over and act like I say. I always say 'quality should always come over quality' and I will do what I said.
I wrote a vague outline on what is going to happen. I did change some concepts and events, but you can still find many similarities in both stories (well when the second one exists). Now that I have my outline, I can finally start!
How long will this take me? Now writing a book takes most authors about six months to a year. That said, your timeline will depend on the length and genre of your book, as well as your day-to-day writing routine. The amount of research and outlining you do beforehand can also affect how long it takes for you to write a book. That means the book will take up to a year for me to write, maybe even more. It will be a novella, which is slightly shorter than a novel leading it to take me less time. 
Let's not forget, I have school and exams and all sorts of stuff that can take my mind off writing. I have chores, a family and a life as well. I'm even still self-improving at art which is the thing I enjoy most doing, other than writing. I'm also a person that gets distracted really  easily, and when I say really easily, I mean it. So, it is pretty clear that writing isn't the only thing I have on my table.
The process is not just writing words on a screen (or a paper if you may). First comes the outline, then the drafting, then the editing, the proofreading. And that only by myself. Then come all kinds of editing made by other people like developmental editing and copyediting. Aaaand, the COVER. In these case, do judge a book by its cover! There are other stuff you got to do to get it out and there. It is some handful.
Now, when I do eventually finish this big project, there's a huge probability I will publish it on amazon because why not? It's free and it shares by book world-wide! Anyways, I am really excited for this!!! 
Notice that this change of events has a huge advantage for me; that I get to write at my own pace without having to worry about people waiting for the next chapter. Of course, there are many other advantages, but that one really gives my heart a break.
I really hope this did not upset you in any way. I will make sure to remember to keep giving you updates, both through the process and when it's published. I hope y'all stay tuned and don't forget to always place quality over quantity.

Sorra's mom was the last person to call her by her true name. When Sorra was merely six years old, her mother abandoned her. She promised to come back but never did. Sorra couldn't help but feel betrayed. She certainly didn't want anything to do with a traitor, therefore she'd changed her name.

Sorra is currently seventeen, living with her best friend May. There are problems in school, or outside with people hence her hot temper, but nothing compares with what happens when she sees a familiar car in the school parking lot...

Will Sorra's mother care enough to come back to see her only daughter, or did she forget she had one, as Sorra had assumed? Maybe she's not her only daughter after all. Read on to find out what mysteries there are, that even Sorra herself does not know about.

Forever in Flowers' mercenary channel suddenly went quiet. Everyone clearly heard Sakurazaka Moony saying that the Y-shaped outline was the path left for the employer to escape the triangular zone. If they put the traps inside it instead, the person would need a miracle to come out of the path unscathed.
"Just who are our real employers?!" Everyone was baffled; they had clearly seen the two men handing coins to Sakurazaka Moony.
"Are we actually double agents?" someone guessed.
"That's so despicable!" all lambasted even as they continued to set the traps in the faint outline. Over a dozen men squeezed themselves into the triangular zone to prevent anyone outside from seeing what they were actually doing.
"It's done!" The men quickly dispersed as their traps were set up and buried properly. They were indeed highly skilled at setting traps, since not a trace could be seen of their buried traps on the ground. They once more outlined a Y shape on the ground by sprinkling dust over it, faintly indicating where the person should step to trigger the traps.
"Pretty well done!" Sakurazaka Moony nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Mmm. Let me give it a try!" The interest of Nightmare of Death's friends was piqued and one of them walked toward the Y-shaped outline to try it out. The bunch of Hunters threw a contemptuous look over to Sakurazaka Moony that seemed to say: "This is entirely your lousy plan's fault; see how it's about to get exposed!"
Sakurazaka Moony quickly blocked the player from proceeding toward the path, "Boss, please don't joke with us. If you try it out, the faint outline we created will be destroyed. Since the whole area is now filled with traps, how are we going to redraw the outline? Unless you want us to redo the whole thing?"
"Don't be like that; can't you just redraw the Y-shaped outline as we move along it?" the person reasoned.
"But… Can you tell where the traps have been placed?" Sakurazaka Moony countered.
"Nope," that person shook his head.
"And that's exactly it. If you walk over the path and we redraw it, we can't ensure that the line will be as accurate as before. We hafta dig out the traps and redo the whole thing if we wanna keep it precise," Sakurazaka Moony explained.
Sakurazaka Moony's reasoning sounded logical, so the person no longer insisted on trying the path. Sakurazaka Moony and his men sighed in relief.
"Alright, Moony. You're pretty good at lying. We'll give you that!" someone praised on the mercenary channel.
"Why haven't you gotten a girl if you're that good at lying?" everyone remarked, laughing.
"Not only has he got no girl to show, he even got tricked to death in a grinding map. HA HA HA HA HA!" everyone relentlessly mocked him.
Sakurazaka Moony was peeved, but it did not show on his face as he continued to banter with the two employers, "Respectable bosses, do you plan to kill the person once the traps are triggered?"
As Nightmare of Death's friends nodded their heads in affirmation, Sakurazaka Moony raised his hand, "Alright. Since we don't have something on, we'll help you out in this matter. Brothers, ready your Homing Projectile!"
Everyone gamely agreed.
"Everyone, find a hiding spot!" Following his words, the men skillfully assisted one another up the nearby rooftops; anyone could tell that the men were experienced in this. Even the Mage showed an unusual adeptness at this. Everyone soon emptied out the street, leaving Nightmare of Death's two friends on it. Gazing on the T-zone trap, the two felt a sense of dread overcome them.
"Do you two want to come up as well?" Sakurazaka Moony peeked out his head from a rooftop and asked this.
"Oh, thanks." The two men were pulled up by some players atop a house. The scenery from above was pretty good; the hiding players on the rooftops around the street looked quite impressive at a glance.
"Everyone, get down. Only show yourselves after the Hunting Trap is triggered. The surrounding houses aren't that high, so raising our heads will reveal us easily," Sakurazaka Moony cautioned everyone.
"Everything is ready and in position. Remember, Y-shaped outline!" By the time Nightmare of Death received this message, he had already made it to the very street. He could only follow the given coordinates to arrive at the unfamiliar place, yet he kept walking into dead ends. He was starting to feel anxious that he had yet to locate the ambush spot, since Gu Fei's set of coordinates was getting closer to him every time it refreshed.
"Just how do I get there?!" Nightmare of Death was on the verge of tears as he sent his friends this message.
His friends did not really know how to properly direct him to the location; they vaguely mumbled the coordinates for the place before asking Nightmare of Death for his current coordinates. They then uttered empty words of reassurance: "Oh, yeah. You're almost there. Hurry up…."
Eventually, Nightmare of Death found the street with the T-shaped junction. Seeing that the entrance to the street was just ahead, he slowed down his pace and calmly waited for Gu Fei to arrive. He recalled that Sword Demon should be somewhere near him. If Sword Demon took the initiative to strike him and he headed to the trap now, Gu Fei would not be here for the traps to spring. The target Nightmare of Death wanted to catch was Gu Fei, and he cared not for Sword Demon at all.
Nightmare of Death wanted to stall for time, but he was afraid that Sword Demon would take that chance to attack him. Thus, he zigzagged along the street while he waited anxiously for Gu Fei's coordinates to refresh. As Nightmare of Death continued to edge forward, he spotted a black-clothed figure at the other end of this lane. Their gazes met as the figure dashed toward him. Thousand Miles Drunk!
Nightmare of Death grew excited. The target was finally here, yet the direction of his approach was not ideal.
It would be best if Gu Fei approached the lane from the bottom of the T-shaped junction, since that would ensure that Gu Fei would step through the T-zone trap to get to Nightmare of Death. If Gu Fei was hot on his heels, Nightmare of Death could easily lure him into the zone. Right now, Nightmare of Death had no choice but to reach the turning first; otherwise, Gu Fei would just rush straight toward him.
He was almost at the street's entrance after zigzagging toward it just then. Nightmare of Death darted forward as he looked ahead. Thousand Miles Drunk's speed is really fast! Perhaps, he has already spotted me from across the street. Nightmare of Death knew that Stealth was useless against Gu Fei, so he strove to maintain his calm.
What nobody knew was that while Gu Fei could indeed detect a player in Stealth mode, it was only the player's presence; the player's state of mind would not matter at all. As such, Nightmare of Death's forceful projection of calmness was pointless.
Lowering his head to the ground, Nightmare of Death barely made out the faint Y-shaped outline that he had been told of; he could not help but praise the Hunters who had set the traps skillfully. There was no obvious indication that this patch of land even looked as if there were traps buried underneath it. Had it not been for the trap experts' prior warning, any regular player would have casually walked over it without a second thought. What a well-made path that gives people confidence and hope! My money was well-spent, indeed! Nightmare of Death was almost overwhelmed by his emotions. My day of gloom is finally at its end… With this thought in mind, he stepped right on to the Y-shaped outline.
SNAP! The clanking sound of metal echoed about. The crisp sound traveled past the muddy topsoil and pierced right through Nightmare of Death's heart. Confidence, hope, life, dreams… All these instantly shattered into oblivion, and his feelings for what had just happened cumulated into this one bellow: "YOU M*TH*RF*CK*NG B*ST*RDS!" He could not move with the Hunting Trap on him, and a thought formed in his mind: the struggle of a trapped beast.
Nightmare of Death's two friends heard his rage-filled bellow and thought that he was merely venting all his frustration on the trapped Gu Fei. The two then stood up and said, "We got him! Do it, everyone!"
"Got it!" Sakurazaka Moony nodded his head and extended his hands forward to lightly shove the two men. In the next instant, Nightmare of Death's friends found themselves plunging head-first to the ground below. They landed in a spectacular mess before regaining their bearings. They looked down the street and saw Nightmare of Death standing motionlessly on one spot. As for Gu Fei, he was also at the junction and was calmly regarding Nightmare of Death.
Sakurazaka Moony stood up from where he was and showed Gu Fei an 'OK' sign with his hand. The Mage stood up from another rooftop and shouted to Gu Fei, "Drunk bro!"
"Yo, Fireball!" Gu Fei waved his hand toward the Mage even as a ball of fire formed on the tip of his fingers, which he quickly dissipated by performing a quick sword slash. "Long time no see!"
Drunk bro… With the Mage addressing Gu Fei in a familiar way, could they still misunderstand anything? Nightmare of Death's heart had long been reduced into ash. His target was formidable and he had many friends… How was he going to fight him? It appeared that he had no choice but to face the music now. 
Meanwhile, the other players on the rooftops stood up and took in the scene below with grim expression on their faces. "Such a huge mobilization; I thought we were springing traps for a babe, but it turned out to be just for that guy!"
"Who is he, anyway? D*mn! He's not even wearing any clothes! Isn't that a little too unrestrained?" Nightmare of Death was still only wearing that flimsy shirt and pants. 
Someone came to a sudden realization, "For him to run on the street practically naked, he must have gotten caught with his pants down with someone or something!"
"No wonder many of us got mobilized! It only made sense!" Everyone was enraged now.
"We have the adulterer, so where's the adulteress?!" someone asked aloud.
"I wonder who got cuckolded?" Everyone looked over to Sakurazaka Moony before glancing at Gu Fei.
"It couldn't be Moony; does he even have anyone to cuckold him?" Everyone laughed mockingly.
"Couldn't be that guy there, either. He's got a harem of over fifty ladies; why would he care about losing one or two?" another person quipped.
"You're still wet behind the ears, son. Don't you know that only a man who values his every conquest can successfully establish a harem?" someone sagely said, pretending to be well-versed in the affairs of the heart.
"Wet behind the ears, my *ss! Do you even have a woman to call yours?!"
As everyone bickered on, Sword Demon really appeared by the street's entrance just as Nightmare of Death had been expecting. He had been tailing Nightmare of Death all this while, and the only reason he had not struck him even now was the latter's diligence at changing his position this time round.
The players on the rooftops seemed to have found the reason for this large-scale mobilization with Sword Demon's emergence. "Wow… Look at that guy's face. It must be him."
"With looks like that, it is no wonder he got cuckolded!"
"He's truly lacking in the good-looks department, but he at least has that imposing temperament going for him."
"Hmm… But it's nothing compared to us, of course."
"Naturally!"
Thankfully, this entire conversation occurred on Forever in Flowers' mercenary channel; otherwise, the people below would not even need to fight any longer. They could just die from coughing up excessive blood upon reading the wretched and abominable chatlogs of these players.


He is a great fighter in real life, but he is mistakenly assigned a "Mage" job class in a virtual reality game! He is someone who uses power to conquer power, so he makes the most out of the mistake and transforms into a fierce Mage, versed in close combat, in the blink of an eye! By perfectly combining strength and spells, he uncovers a new path of gaming!

Fireball? Chain Lightning? Frost Mirror… Wait just a minute; I’ve come to practice kung fu! Spells have nothing to do with me! What’s that? I’m a Mage? Oh, right! I am a Mage indeed. But… Are you certain I’m one? Alright… Feel the might of my saber! My sword! My hidden weapons! What? You’re saying I’m no Mage now? Let me prove it to you if you don’t believe me! But even if you believe me, I will still show you just how unstoppable a Mage who knows kung fu can be!

"Where are we?", Pelleas asks while turning around in an open field of flowers. 

Danyll asks, "Where is Bonnie?"

Jamal stares out into the distance with a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, something catches Jamal's eye in the distance. A small dot stands just before the horizon of a nearby hill. Jamal tries to focus his eyes and realizes the small dot is a person in the distance. Jamal yells, "Hey!", before running towards the far off person. Pelleas and Danyll chase after Jamal, both confused and desperate. 

The three warriors approach the distant figure, which grows closer and larger with each step. As Jamal nears the mystery person, he recognizes the outline of the character. "Janet?", Jamal asks and he reaches out to turn the mystery person around. 

Jamal grabs the person's shoulder and spins her around to reveal his friend Janet, whom Jamal has not seen since starter town. Jamal asks Janet, "What are you doing here?"

Janet stares at Jamal with a cold stare and replies, "The question is what are you doing, Jamal?"

Jamal takes a few steps backwards, but bumps into someone behind him. Jamal turns around to see Brago, Jack, and Mack. All three look down on Jamal with anger and contempt. Pelleas and Danyll have disappeared. 

[Intro]

Jamal backs away from his old friends, who continue to stare with malicious glares. Janet, Brago, Jack, and Mack slowly step towards Jamal, backing down the small hero with their pressure. 

Janet says, "What do you think you are doing Jamal? You are just a little pip squeak. Did you really think you could be a hero?"

Jamal asks Janet, "What are you talking about, Janet? What are you doing here? How did you find me?"

Jack says, "Obviously we are better at finding you than you were at finding us."

Mack continues, "You left us to get eaten by that crazy infected beast and we lost everything because of you!"

Jamal says, "No, that's not what happened! Brago knows we tried to fight that animal, but it was too strong and we were too late to save you."

Brago says, "I remember finding you sleeping in the forest. You never went looking for our friends. Even when I was being crushed in front of your very eyes, all you could do was run away."

Jamal pauses because he can't think of anything to disprove what Brago is saying. 

Janet approaches Jamal slowly and says, "face it Jamal. You are not a hero because all you know how to do is run away."

Jamal's face shows signs of more and more desperation. 

Meanwhile, Danyll wanders through a cloudy fog looking for Jamal and Pelleas. His two friends disappeared behind a veil of confusion and Danyll was left by himself. Danyll can see the outline of a person hidden in the shadows of the surrounding fog. 

Danyll runs towards the shadowy person and yells out, "Jamal!" Danyll reaches out to grab his friend's shoulder as the fog clears away. 

Danyll is shocked when finally gets a good look at the person, who turns out to be Bonnie. Danyll wakes from his stunned expression and hugs Bonnie. "Bonnie! How did you get free? Where are the other two guys that were with you?"

Bonnie silently glares at Danyll as the two awkwardly separate from their embrace. Before Danyll can utter another word, Bonnie interrupts him. "You let me down Danyll. I'm so disappointed. You left me in the hands of those monsters and now look at what happened!"

Suddenly Bonnie vanishes in a cloud of fog. Danyll panics as he watches Bonnie disappear.  Then a deep, familiar voice calls out behind Danyll, "Danyll….."

Danyll slowly turns around and sees the outline of a king. The king's face is black from the shadows cast upon him so Danyll cannot see, but the clothes, jewels, and crown on the king's head seem very familiar to Danyll. 

Danyll says, "I know you…...I know you!....but why don't I know who you are? Why can't I remember?"

The shadowy figure of a king towers over Danyll making Danyll seem as small as a child. The deep voice of the king says, "Where did you go? I depended on you. Your kingdom depended on you!"

Behind the large king raises a shining city full of life and happiness. Danyll is humbled by the brightness shining before him. However, a dark cloud covers the city and drowns out any light. The buildings crumble and screams of terror echo around Danyll. 

As Danyll withers from the screams of women and children, the once regal king shrinks smaller in size. As he shrinks, the gold jewels and crown fall off the king and straight to the floor. The king's outline gets more and more frail. The robes become rags draped over a fragile man barely able to lift his head from the floor. 

Danyll reaches out to help the man up and the frail man reaches out to Danyll. As their hands come closer, the frail king quickly grabs Danyll's arm. The king pulls Danyll close and speaks face to face. The king's voice is no longer deep and soothing. The king's voice now sounds wild and demented. 

The king says, "Wake up Danyll! How long will you sleep?"

Danyll yells, "What do you want from me?"

The king pauses for a second to think before replying, "Do you have any change? Hahahahaha!" The king vanishes in a cloud of fog as Danyll is left alone screaming. 

As Jamal and Danyll struggle with their nightmares, Pelleas continues to wander alone in darkness. Pelleas cannot see anything around himself. Pelleas reaches out, but cannot see his hands. The Darkness is so thick that Pelleas begins to question if he is even moving at all. 

Pelleas stumbles around, disoriented, until a small flash of light shines down in the distance. Pelleas begins running towards the distant light. The light grows brighter and attracts the young Amule like a moth. 

Pelleas trips over his own feet and tumbles onto the floor right in front of the light. Pelleas lifts his head off the floor and sees a figure descending closer to Pelleas within the light like an angel. The bright light blinds Pelleas so he cannot see the angel's face. Pelleas can only see the outline of a small female Amule. 

The young girl calls out to Pelleas, "Brother…." Pelleas is shocked and tries harder to look up into the light. The harder he tries to see the angel, the more blinded Pelleas is from the light. 

Pelleas reaches up and screams, "Wait!" 

The angelic figure starts to rise into the distance with her arms stretched towards Pelleas. She says, "Brother, why didn't you protect me? I'm afraid. Help me!"

Pelleas reaches towards the fading light above and screams out, "Please come back! Adrianna!" The light disappears and so does the angelic figure. Pelleas is once again bathed in darkness with no guide to where he is.

"It's your fault you know." Pelleas hears a voice say from behind his back. Pelleas turns to see the shaded outline of an Amule looking down on him. Pelleas immediately recognizes the outline of his older brother Hamon Salas. Hamon says, "If you weren't around then maybe Adrianna would be."

Another shadowy figure appears from the darkness in the shape of his brother Onas, who stands on Hamon's left. Onas says, "We should have known the runt of the Salas clan couldn't handle protecting a wee girl."

A shadow version of Rydel appears in front of Pelleas and joins the other brothers. Rydel says, "Mother always told us not to pick on you. Who knew you would throw our whole family into chaos. We should have taken care of you when you were younger."

Behind a traumatized Pelleas appears an extra tall version of Pelleas' parents. Galan Salas looks down at Pelleas and says, "How could I ever trust the family name to such a runt?" Pelleas' mother looks away in shame of her son. 

Pelleas is tormented with the voices of his family and the memories of his sister.

After staying up for a whole night, Ling Ran finally managed to write the outline of his research paper.
For an undergraduate who had only received a few weeks of training on how to write research papers, having a renowned specialist willing to guide him to write a research paper was practically a blessing from heaven. Because of that, Ling Ran used up another Energy Serum without hesitation.
His reserve of Energy Serums was reduced from six bottles to five bottles, but Ling Ran believed that completing the challenge was more valuable for him.
Huo Congjun was quite shocked when he saw the research paper outline Ling Ran brought out.
He read the introduction, and then glanced in astonishment at Ling Ran. "You stayed up last night?"
"Yes."
"Make sure that staying up doesn't affect your work performance."
"No problem." Ling Ran looked rather relaxed.
"Isn't it nice to be young?" Huo Congjun laughed out loud. He turned and said, "Only the young are able to stay up all night and still be able come for work in the hospital with no problems while still making time to write a research paper."
After he said that, he lowered his head again to read the outline carefully. He whipped out the gel pen he always carried with him and examined it.
After hearing their conversation from the side, Doctor Zhou said with a smile, "Department director, should I arrange a shift for Ling Ran?"
"Give him a shift and let him learn a lesson for saying that he can still work perfectly after not sleeping for a night. Hmm... Don't give him a shift tonight. Start giving him shifts tomorrow," Huo Congjun answered without raising his head. Being a doctor was a job that required one to be on night shifts all year round, especially for those in the Emergency Department. Their biological clocks were reversed to the point that their endocrine secretion was all messed up. It had been quite some time since he encountered anyone who dared to say that they could stay up late.
Doctor Zhou chuckled and said to Ling Ran, "See, the department director is still fond of you and is worried that you can't hold out for working two days in a row. Alright, report for work tomorrow night then.
Ling Ran agreed nonchalantly. Even though the doctors hated being on night shifts, the medical interns did not mind doing them. It was even more so for Ling Ran, who did not find it taxing at all.
The young rookies were still in the period where they were excited by their work. It was practically an honor for them to get the chance to perform patient consultation and even surgeries, because in reality, medical interns did not usually have the chance to work on shifts as they would be of no help.
Huo Congjun finished reading the research paper. He nodded slightly and said, "The outline is quite well-written. It is very well thought out."
The moment he said that, Ling Ran knew that his guess was correct.
Huo Congjun wanted him to write a research paper not just to let him practice writing these things, but also as a precaution against anyone who gossiped about him.
Because of that, he deliberately included his observations done before he performed the barehanded bleeding control and made it an independent section for it: [Determining Bleeding Sources without a Surgical Field.]
Creating the desired surgical field by exposing certain parts of the patient's body while they performed a certain type of surgery was also something that needed to be learned. It was said that surgery took five years to learn, and setting up appropriate surgical fields took ten years to learn. It was very important for a doctor to learn how to obtain the surgical field he desired during surgery. 
The purpose of cutting a patient open was to create a surgical field. Microscopes were used so that the surgical field was clearer. Sometimes, a completely fine kidney would be temporarily removed from the patient's body so that the desired surgical field could be obtained.
However, a perfect surgical field could not be obtained all the time, especially in the Emergency Department. Even when there was no surgical field, whatever had be done MUST be done.
By adding [Determining Bleeding Sources without a Surgical Field] as a section, Ling Ran not only provided legitimacy to what he did, but also made the research paper more more up to standards in an instant.
Doctor Zhou said with a smile, "Our department director seldom praises anyone. May I have a look at the research paper?"
"You should indeed have a look at it. How many years has it been since you became an attending physician? And how many research papers have you written?" Department Director Huo was never that pleasant when in front of Doctor Zhou. Attending physicians were the core presence of a department, and Doctor Zhou, who took every opportunity he could to slack off, naturally could not avoid being scolded.
However, Doctor Zhou pocketed insults well. It could be because he was used to being scolded by the department director. He did not take the scolding seriously and took Ling Ran's research paper outline to read it while swaying his head.
Once he heard the commotion, Attending Physician Zhao Leyi immediately joined them. After observing for a while, he said to Ling Ran, "Not bad, indeed. Not even accepted at the hospital, and already writing a research paper."
Compared to the somewhat unattractive Doctor Zhou, Attending Physician Zhao Leyi's appearance was more befitting of the large white robe. His most defining characteristic was his fair skin, which was smooth and hydrated. He was also thinner in build and could pass as a little puppy.
And when it came to life in the department, Zhao Leyi also acted like a little puppy. He was fiercer than the others when it came to snatching surgeries. He had to compete with doctors of the same rank every day. After being promoted to a attending physician, he was naturally harsher towards the junior doctors. At this moment, his gaze as he stared at Ling Ran was also very oppressive.
Zhao Leyi immediately found something wrong with it. "Ling Ran, this research paper of yours uses a surgery carried out by our department director as a case example. Shouldn't you include our department director's name in it?"
"Doctor Zhao, do you want your name to be included?" The fact that Ling Ran was not good at interpersonal relationships made it easier for him to see through other people's direct motives.
Huo Congjun was already an experienced department director of the Emergency Department and did not care about having his name in a short research paper. Zhao Leyi was the one who coveted the opportunity of having his name in the SCI.
Zhao Leyi did not expect Ling Ran to be so straightforward, and quickly explained, "I don't really care if my name is in it. I just feel that, as the chief surgeon of the case, our department director—"
"The research paper has not even been written yet. There's no point in discussing this now." Huo Congjun helped him out of his predicament and changed the topic. "Young Zhao, you're still young. Try to write a research paper outline by next month and hand it to me, as well."
Zhao Leyi gasped and quickly said, "Director, I have been getting a lot of shifts lately."
"It's good to have a lot of shifts. Deal with patients when there are patients, and you can utilize the time when there are no patients to be productive in the hospital."
Zhao Leyi did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Are there times with no patients in the Emergency Department?"
Huo Congjun answered, "If you deal with the patients quickly, whatever time is left would be the time with no patients." 
Zhao Leyi grumbled under his breath, "Even if they were quickly dealt with, Emergency Medical Care could send even more patients over."
"Then, you have to be faster than Emergency Medical Care! When I was in the army in the past, I couldn't just blame the enemies for injuring too many people or our comrades for sending too many wounded people to me, right?" Huo Congjun's forcefulness was beyond words.
Zhao Leyi thought, 'You didn't really participate in any war, anyway.' But he would be seeking his own doom if he said that out loud. Department Director Huo had been proud of his identity as a military doctor for forty years.
"Enough with this, pack your things and make the rounds."
Huo Congjun felt that they had spent enough time chit-chatting. The moment he made the order, all the doctors in the office got into action, like an organized hunting team.
When they were out of the door, the doctors had already moved into a cylindrical formation with the department director at the front, associate department directors at the side, the attending physicians behind the department director, and the resident doctors behind the attending physicians.
On the other hand, Ling Ran and the other medical interns walked behind the resident doctors while holding the medical records.
This was the moment when the senior doctors got to flaunt their knowledge, and the junior doctors get tested. Of course, their dear department director was always the most glorious one; he was the absolute star in any ward.
In the hospital where there was a strict division of class, discipline was emphasized at every moment. The doctors always moved in an orderly fashion, and acted as neatly as their white uniforms.


Ling Ran, a med school senior, begins to see the world like a game UI. He uses it to pave his way towards graduation, a residency, becoming the greatest doctor in the world... And finally getting a Transformer from his newbie packs? Maybe. We don't know yet.

Everyone in the hall was naturally impressed with the performance of Alistair, Leonardo, and other top geniuses. The underlings of Alistair and Leonardo were especially vocal in expressing their excitement. It was like it was them who have achieved those reward beads instead of Alistair and Leonardo. 
"They are true geniuses!" 
People commented while glancing at Zed. 
"Not like certain someone who was at the top in the first trial!"
"Indeed! Everyone here has either gained beads, or at least they remained same... unlike certain loser!"
"What can you expect from a slum dweller?"
"Haha, right!"
"Those slum dwellers are only good at begging!"
"Poor guy! He couldn't have begged with those aliens!"
As Sophia listened to these mocking comments, her face turned red with fury. She wanted to tell them the truth about why he lost the beads but she didn't. After all, no one would truly believe her explanation, and even if they did, it would only lead to more abusive remarks.
Kindness and empathy for alien beings was not really a virtue.
Sophia eyed the verbal abusers and took a deep breath of air. If it was some other time, she would have used her fists to make them silent, but not now. She has witnessed how strictly the rule of protection was enforced in the trial areas. Attacking them would only result in her own demise.
Sophia swept her eyes on Zed and wondered if he knew of some loophole which she could exploit. She really wanted to teach those guys a lesson.
Some hundred meters away, Kieron glanced at Zed. When he learned of latter's lose, the corners of his mouth raised up in a mocking grin.
"He must be truly weak!"
Kieron thought coldly. 
"Will is useless in the main trials! Only strength and bloodline matters!"
Keiron looked forward to the upcoming trials. He wanted to showcase this cheater what it means to be powerful.
The abuse and mocking remarks continued, but the target of those remarks remained seated with a calm expression.
"So many bad sons... how would their mothers feel if they knew just how abusive their sons were?"
Zed thought with an inaudible sigh. This sigh was for the poor mothers who had such bad sons. Imagining their unhappy state, a surge of determination swept throughout his body. He has to do something for the greater good!
"I need to establish a new company for the happiness of mothers around the globe."
He started thinking of a list of possible names for his new corporation.
As for its aim and vision, he wanted it to be on similar lines to Wife Pleasuring Service Pvt. Ltd, Maiden's Love Circle, Mistress' Massgae Center, Naughty Bunny Corporation and other non-profit companies he owned.
All he wanted was to spread happiness.
Profit was never his motto. 
If anything, for the well-being of mothers around the globe, he didn't mind suffering a loss. He was ready to pay from his own pockets.
"Maybe I can have a tie-up with schools? Schools especially elementary schools are the best places for seducing hot moms who are new to their role... No, I mean the best place to teach manners to young children!"
Manners were something that can be learned best at a young age! This was something that most mothers were worried about! After all, when children are young, the new mothers are practically clueless about upbringing especially if it was the first child!
As he thought of this, a smile that was unique to his alter ego appeared on his face. Slowly a plan formed into his mind.
If things went as per what he wanted, he can really turn many sons into Good Sons from a very young age!
"Some of those guys must have sisters as well," Zed thought with a serious expression while looking at his abusers. "Should this new company also focus on sisters?"
Zed put a hand under his chin as he pondered. His face was like that of a man carrying the burden of entire world. 
As he began thinking for the greater good, an announcement appeared. 
{{The second trial has ended. You can now leave.}}
The message was short and abrupt with no additional details. 
Sophia looked around and was surprised to see no portals or retracing of walls.
"How are we supposed to leave?" 
Not only Sophia but others began to wonder as well. 
"This wall! It has the outline of a door!" Someone at a corner shouted while checking a wall.
"Door?" 
Everyone was startled.
They believed this hall was a copy of the hall from the first trial. This was especially true with all the designs and engravings on the walls and ceilings. They were completely identical. 
Almost every contestant here has checked the hall of the first trial. In that place, there was no door or any outline. So when they appeared in this hall for the second trial, they didn't check around as a quick look hinted it was identical to the one before. 
Now, they learned they have reached a conclusion far too soon. 
Many people appeared before the wall.
As they looked at the wall, they noticed the outline of a grand door - 100 meters tall and thirty meters wide! 
It wasn't a simple outline though! 
There was magnificent design with rich texture and rune engravings. Through the corners of the door, there were small circles, the size of a pigeon's egg. Alongside, in the center, there were many wonderful inscriptions in various shapes. 
A youth pushed the door outline but contrary to his expectations, nothing happened no matter how much force he used.
"How do we open it? There is no keyhole or anything!" 
People broke out into discussions. 
"What's there to discuss?" A mutant with great physical strength asked.
He stretched an arm back before punching straight at the door. Twisted energy ripples cascaded from his fist as it made contact with the door surface
A loud bang sound ringed out along with intense fluctuations of energy, proving just how much strength the punch contained. Some of the nearby mutants even lost their sense of hearing for a moment.
A few seconds later, as people regained their senses back, they looked in front. Much to their horror, there was not even a single dent on the door.
"What was that banging sound then?" A youth wondered aloud but he soon got his answer as he turned his head.
The strength-type mutant has smashed to an opposite wall. His entire body was broken and the hand with which he punched no longer existed.
As people saw his condition, they took a deep breath of cold air. 
"This is an ancient door! Most likely enhanced with technology from Celestial Elysian World!" A young genius spoke. "It is laughable for us to try to break it!"
"Indeed!"
Everyone agreed with this assessment. There was no way they could open the door with force. 
But then how to open it?
Many youths took out digital devices to scan the door. Mutants with enhanced vision began studying the door for clues.
In a few minutes, almost everyone gave up. They weren't getting any results!
"You guys stop wasting time."
A voice came from a distance. The youths in front of the door were angered and they turned around to coldly rebuke, but when they saw the owner of the voice, all words died in their throats.
The voice belonged to a fatty with a mechanical arm.
Leonardo. 
He munched on wafers as he arrived before the door.
"You guys can't even open a door!"
Leonardo said in disdain while placing his mechanical hand on the door.
From the center of his palm, green light streamed out and covered the entire door like a screen.
As the nearby youths saw this, their eyes sparkled in amazement. Male or females, soon, everyone in the hall focused on Leonardo's action.
"Leonardo is a genius!"
"Not only in strength but he is very knowledgable!"
"Yes! Not to mention his mechanical arm that is equipped with advanced gadgets!"
"He can definitely open the door!"
Leonardo didn't pay any heed to the chatter and words of praise. Internally though, he enjoyed the spotlight.
After all, who didn't want to be the center of focus? Who didn't enjoy attention from beautiful females?
He could feel how so many gorgeous women were looking at him with expectations.
"Haha! They would definitely approach me after I open this door!"
Leonardo could imagine the scene of the girls trying to learn from him. This scene made his belly quiver in excitement.
He knew now was his time to shine and tell the world just how capable he was. So he earnestly began working on studying the door.
The green light screen analyzed the door, and after which, a digital window popped up above his arm. Leonardo's lips curved up as he read the data.
"I can definitely open it!" Leonardo was fully confident in his ability. 
The male and female geniuses noticed his confident expression.
"As expected of a top genius!" A female muttered with admiration.
The admiration and veneration were not just because of his confidence in opening the door, but it was also for his skills.
After all, the door was created from a technology unique to Celestial Elysian Plane. The strange runes and engravings on the door were practically incomprehensible, not giving any clues on what they meant.
So, the person who can open it must have great knowledge of Celestial Elysian Plane. And in this era, especially when it concerned with the exploration of these wonderful meteorites, knowledge was everything.
Powerful families and reputed organizations would spend money and resources like water for acquiring such knowledge! Thousands and thousands of people would waste their entire lifetime in seeking this great knowledge but without any success!
 Now, a youth not even twenty-five years old has the utmost confidence in opening a door requiring such knowledge! If this didn't deserve admiration, then nothing else did! 
Leonardo rubbed his hand over the door surface, lost in deep thoughts. Minutes passed as he scanned every corner of the door.
With a popping sound, his mechanical arm stretched out, embedded with advanced sensors. From his fingertips, light beams shot out while from the wrist, wires and advanced gadgets rolled out. Soon, they covered the entire door.
"Such a wonderful technology!"
People commented in their hearts. They no longer spoke aloud as they didn't want to disturb him. So they only praised him internally while admiring his cyborg-like arm.
The hall has a complete pin-drop silence...
Almost thirty minutes have passed since Leonardo started, and while there was no change on the door, everyone was extremely patient.
They understood how difficult it would be in opening this door. If he could open the door in even a day, it would be a miracle!
Expecting the door to open in hours would be impossible! The technology of Celestial Elysian Plane couldn't be underestimated!
An hour passed, and finally, there was a sound. But much to the disappointment of everyone, the sound was not from the door but rather from behind.
It was the sound of steps!
The geniuses turned around and looked at the end of the hall. Their eyebrows raised up as they noticed it was Zed.
From the very start, he has been only sitting on a slab. He didn't even come to check the outline of the door.
People didn't fault him for that. For a former slum dweller, the development was far too overwhelming. They could understand he didn't want to make a joke of himself by trying to study the door like others. 
But now...
He was moving towards the door. His every step broke the silence in the hall. 
Leonardo also turned his head as he heard the stepping sound. 
"Don't disturb me!" Leonardo ordered loudly. 
Opening this door was a burdensome task and it required complete concentration. Even a slight disturbance could result in a failure.
"Apologies, sir," Zed said politely. "But the ladies are tired of waiting."
Leonardo looked behind Zed and noticed Sophia yawning. Alongside Sophia, there was Jenina and two more females. 
"You think I'm doing time pass?" Leonardo asked viciously. He didn't shout at Sophia due to her stunning looks, but Zed was a different matter. 
"No, sir, I will not dare imagine that," Zed answered respectfully. "It was just..."
"Just what?" Leonardo cut him in between. "Do you not understand that you are wasting my time by even speaking like this?! Opening this door is not some child's task that can be done in a matter of minutes!"
 Leonardo mocked him openly. 
Zed turned silent but he stepped forward and arrived in front of the door.
When Leonardo saw this, he chuckled coldly. 
"You really have a thick skin!" Leonardo sneered. 
Zed ignored those words as if he didn't hear them. He moved a hand over the beautiful inscriptions on the door.
"What is he doing?" Leonardo wondered aloud with a grin.
Does this idiot think moving his hand around and touching those patterns would reveal some secrets?
How stupid!
The technology of the door was not something that could be understood by these idiotic moves!
Everyone in the hall began laughing at Zed just as he tapped a finger over a reverse triangle engraving.
RUMBLE~!
The entire door shook with intense rumbling sounds.
"What's going on?!"
The contestants were alarmed by the tremors and the laughter died in their throats. They didn't get much time to think about this as rays of light splashed out from the door outline.
Every inscription and engraving on the door flashed with vibrant colors. With every passing second, the door turned more and more life-like, emitting an endless burst of light. 
As the youths bathed under this light, they felt as if they were approaching closer to the secrets of their abilities. It was like enlightenment!
The youths held their breaths and stared at the door in disbelief. The intensity of the light turned stronger, almost to the point of blinding, and then dimmed down.
Creek.
The door slowly opened up, and from the slight opening, waves of energy streamed out. A few youths nearby felt those energy waves crashing on them. Their eyes turned wide and their mouth fell open as they noticed what the energy waves were doing to their bodies.
Their strength was advancing! It was a qualitative leap in strength!
As the youths realized this, they stupidly stared at Zed who was the target of those energy waves. They only got this benefit because they were near him, but he was the true receptor of this blessing!
Damn! He is too lucky!
...
Even though everything took a long while to describe, it happened in less than a minute. The time was so low that it didn't even warrant mention, but in such a small time, an unbelievable scene has occurred. 
The door has completely opened!
Zed ignored the eyes on him and stepped into the doorway. Sophia followed him without any hurry. Her expression and demeanor were like what happened was something obvious. She wasn't the least bit surprised!
Some distance away, Leonardo's eyes popped out. He has earlier felt it was his time to shine. He knew his strength wasn't as great as Alistair but he has complete faith in his knowledge and skills.
That's how he could achieve so much without facing any difficulties. His high-tech mechanical arm was an extension of him; a manifestation of his knowledge and skills. It was still raised up to open the door in a perfect manner.
But...
The door was already opened! And that too without any efforts! There was no use of any advanced gadgets, abilities, or even time!
Just a few random touches and the ancient door opened!
How could all his efforts be smashed by those few touches without any mercy? 
"Could someone tell me what the fuck is going on here?!"
